Love History Caused by Willful Negligence - Chapter 98

Vol. 2 Chapter 15

“You can turn left in front.“

“Mr. Inseop. Turn left.”

When Lee Wooyeon grabbed the steering wheel, Inseop was startled and turned the steering wheel only then. However, he missed the timing to enter, so he had to hear a sharp beeping sound along with swearing from the driver of the car behind.

“Sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

Although he answered kindly, Lee Wooyeon was not in a good mood. It was already the fourth time today that he missed the signal. It was like this for several days. They didn’t make eye contact and he didn’t listen to anything he would ask. When he asked to go home with him, he often went home in a hurry, saying he had work.

He asked if he was sick, if he was in a bad mood, or if there was something wrong, but the answer that came back was the same.

No. it’s okay. Don’t worry. Lee Wooyeon lowered his gaze with his arms crossed.

Today was the day of the dinner with the cast of the movie. Inseop probably won’t drink because he was driving anyway, but Lee Wooyeon suggested that he go in with him. He just wanted to keep him by his side. However, Inseop’s reply was shockingly firm.

“As the manager, I don’t think I need to be there.”

At first, Lee Wooyeon wondered if he had heard it wrong. Then, when asked where he would be, Inseop replied that he would wait in the car. Lee Wooyeon looked at Inseop for a long time. Inseop didn’t say anything. There was no sign of him getting out of the car. ‘Do whatever you want,’ Lee Wooyeon said as he got out of the car.

The main guest of today’s dinner party was definitely Lee Wooyeon. The staff as well as the actors were busy praising Lee Wooyeon. Maybe he had a good-looking face, but he can act well and has a good personality, and everyone praised him.

Lee Wooyeon smiled and listened, but didn’t hear a word.

In the end, he left the director crying and clinging on to the film because he was able to shoot the movie safely thanks to Lee Wooyeon, and got up in the middle. Inseop, who he was worried might be crying, was listening to the radio in the car alone.

“Where should I take you?”

Inseop turned off the radio and asked.

Lee Wooyeon put in the hotel address on the navigation. He didn’t want to go into the house where the reporters were camped out, so he reserved a hotel suite with a card he took out of CEO Kim’s wallet. Choi Inseop drove the car without saying anything after seeing the address.

“Are you not feeling well?”

“No, I’m fine.”

The answer came back as if it had been put on a plate.

“Your face looks bad.”

“I think it’s because I slept a little late yesterday.”

“What are you doing to sleep late?”

He said it as a joke, but a cool light flashed in Lee Wooyeon’s eyes. He didn’t like it when Inseop, who went home early saying he had work yesterday, stayed up late.

“I was talking to my family on the phone… I’m sorry.”

“What do you have to be sorry about? We can also talk on the phone.”

“I don’t want to bother you.”

Inseop smiled awkwardly.

He drew a fine line.

Lee Wooyeon leaned against the seat and tilted his head. Calculating people’s reactions was easy. If he put in an appropriate value, behavior within the expected range was returned. It was a simple and clear formula. After realizing this formula, he did not feel much difficulty in human relationships. Of course, all relationships were superficial, but it didn’t matter at all. Because it was the level he wanted.

However, Choi Inseop was different.

Lee Wooyeon tapped the handle of the car with his finger.

It was the first proper relationship he had. That was fucking difficult for Lee Wooyeon. He knew that Inseop was in a bad mood, but he didn’t know why, so he was going crazy.

On the day of the premiere, as soon as Lee Wooyeon came out of the bathroom, he called the number he had memorized from the note. Of course, he didn’t believe Inseop’s words that it was nothing. This was already the third time Inseop had hidden the paper in front of him. He turned a blind eye to him twice, so he didn’t have to trust him the third time.

After a few beeps, he heard a languid woman’s voice saying ‘Hello’.

He expected it when he saw the number, but it seemed to be the female model he shot the commercial with at the time. When he apologized for waking her up because of the jet lag, she burst out laughing.

‘I’ve been waiting all along, would you like to apologize for that?’

She complained in a hoarse voice. This was fucking nuts. It was enough for Lee Wooyeon to confirm that she hadn’t made a move on Inseop. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, a woman’s laughing words provoked him.

‘But the idiot must have managed to hand over the note.’

Lee Wooyeon said, “Ha,” and laughed briefly. ‘What should I do?’ Lee Wooyeon softly opened his mouth. “Tell me,” she said, revealing subtle expectations.

‘Because I’m a fucking bastard who’s in heat for that idiot more than you.’ He didn’t listen to the woman’s answer and hung up.

He hasn’t even talked about the notes since, so it probably wasn’t because of that.

Lee Wooyeon stared blankly at the idiot he had a crush on.

Even though he must have felt the gaze, Inseop pretended not to mind and focused on driving. He desperately tried not to cause trouble to the other person, but he was kind enough to be naive and he couldn’t hide his feelings well.

Is it because of the dog?

He didn’t know if he was aware of it, but Inseop had a gloomy day whenever he saw a big, white dog on the street. Earlier, when he encountered a large dog in the parking lot, Inseop stared blankly at the dog for a long time.

When his dog died, Inseop cried for several days until his eyes swelled up.

Will was family to him, he hugged the crying Inseop and comforted him. Of course, for Lee Wooyeon, who would not shed a single tear even if his real family died, it was a feeling he could not understand. It was fun to hug Inseop, who fell asleep while weeping, but he was worried that he would say he was going to America.

He even said that he had met Yoon Ahreum by chance in a park not too long ago. Inseop explained at length about the woman’s dog.

‘I’d like to go see the dog. May I go?’ he asked cautiously.

Of course, he dismissed it by asking what kind of dog it iwa. He kindly explained that he didn’t know that the item most men use when flirting with women is a large dog. He covered the lips that muttered that it was not like that with a kiss.

He’d rather buy a dog and give it to him.

Lee Wooyeon glanced at Inseop.

He looked after the stray cats calling them pretty, so how would he like it if he bought a dog and gave it to him? It was clear that he would hug and not let go. He will never see that though.

“Do you want to go feed the cat?”

He thought it would be better to turn his attention to the cat. A living creature he does not even take into the house and only occasionally feeds food, never knowing when it will die. That was the limit Lee Wooyeon could tolerate. In response to Lee Wooyeon’s question, Inseop made an expression asking what he meant.

“Aren’t you worried about the cat?”

“No. I can go and give it to them at night.”

To think of going back home even though the address was the hotel was very outrageous.

“Then are you thinking of stabbing me in the back again?”

He deliberately scratched Inseop’s weakest part.

“No!”

Inseop was startled as if he was going to have a seizure, so he opened his eyes wide and answered. Lee Wooyeon reached out and turned the steering wheel. He narrowly escaped a crisis ,almost hitting the guardrail.

Inseop turned on his emergency flashers and parked the car on the side of the road.

“…sorry.”

Inseop apologized with a pale face.

“Tell me if you want to die together. Let’s do it in a place with a good atmosphere, not a place like this. If you want, I’ll borrow CEO Kim’s lake house.”

At Lee Wooyeon’s words, Inseop shook his head. His big eyes shook anxiously.

The car started again.

Then, what else scared him? With so many possible answers coming to mind, Lee Wooyeon gave up.

“Inseop, today…”

Lee Wooyeon grabbed Inseop’s hand which was holding the steering wheel. No, he was trying to grab it. If only Inseop didn’t flinch right away

Lee Wooyeon looked down at his hand, which had stopped in the air. A drawn-out smile hung over his slightly hardened lips.

“Why are you being so mean when I’m trying to hold you?”

“Outside…”

Inseop continued by carefully turning the steering wheel.

“I want you to be as careful as possible outside.”

“What.

“Touching.”

Lee Wooyeon said, “Hmm,” and shut his mouth for a while.

“What if I don’t like it?”

Choi Inseop let out a small sigh. Then looked at Lee Wooyeon’s eyes. He was trying all he could to stop from wanting to stick his dick into those sighing lips right now, but he couldn’t even touch him.

“Why won’t you let me touch you?”

‘I’m doing everything you ask me to do’ he swallowed the last words. It was a pathetic remark, a childish word. Lee Wooyeon crossed his arms and smiled, waiting for Inseop’s answer, but he didn’t say anything.

The car pulled into the hotel parking lot. When the parking attendant asked for valet parking, Inseop answered that he was fine and turned the car towards the underground parking lot. He was a person who did not even know how to use tricks even at such a moment. After parking the car in a corner, Inseop muttered to him, “We have arrived.”

Lee Wooyeon did not unfasten his seat belt.

“Aren’t you going to tell me?”

“What do you mean?”

“Why are you acting like this with me?”

He didn’t know what else to do. He treated him well like a normal person, told him he loved him, cared for him, and did all the damn things he asked him to do.

“just… . I thought I would like you to be a little more careful. There are many eyes. It’s not okay if bad things happen because of me.”

It’s bad. Lee Wooyeon closed his eyes and tried to roll what Inseop said in his mouth. Then, he raised his eyes and asked again.

“Lee Wooyeon is like that with the male manager, what about it?”

Inseop didn’t have any answer. He was caught by Lee Wooyeon’s words.

His smile deepened.

“It was just a joke, though.”

Lee Wooyeon opened the seat belt clip. Hearing the clicking and ringing in the quiet car, Inseop involuntarily stopped breathing and shrugged his shoulders.

“I get confused sometimes. Do you like me or do you like actor Lee Wooyeon?”

“I..”

Before he could hear Inseop’s answer, Lee Wooyeon left the car. Inseop unfastened his belt and followed Lee Wooyeon. Because of the height difference, he had to run.

“I’ll go and check in.”

Choi Inseop hurriedly spoke up. If a celebrity is seen coming in and out of a hotel lobby, it’s bound to lead to unnecessary gossip. He must have heard Inseop’s words, but Lee Wooyeon didn’t look back and walked straight to the front desk to check in.

Lee Wooyeon, who received the card, stood in front of the elevator without even looking at Inseop. He was about to go back, but Inseop stood behind Lee Wooyeon. One of the manager’s basic duties was to ensure that the entertainer returned home safely. Even if this wasn’t a house, he had to make sure that he was comfortable in the hotel room.

Even when he got into the elevator, Lee Wooyeon did not say anything. All the way upstairs, Inseop’s lips dried up in the awkward silence.

After the production presentation, Kang Youngmo gave Inseop a meaningful smile. It was scary. It was also the case that Lee Wooyeon was swept away by strange rumors, but he didn’t even want to imagine what would happen if Kang Youngmo intervened.

Even then, Lee Wooyeon casually hit Kang Youngmo with a brick. He was lucky enough to live, but he heard that he could have died. Kang Youngmo wasn’t worried. He was afraid that if Lee Wooyeon made a bad choice, it would ruin his life.

So he tried not to show his private appearance in front of people as much as possible. When work was over, he would go home right away, and he tried not to create that kind of atmosphere outside. That seemed to have offended Lee Wooyeon.

He had to say something.

“There….”

The moment Inseop opened his mouth, the elevator door opened with a ding. Lee Wooyeon came out and walked away. Inseop hesitated for a moment, then followed him down.

What does he do? While Inseop was contemplating, Lee Wooyeon opened the hotel room door with his card key. Standing in front of the door, Lee Wooyeon looked down at Inseop with an expressionless face.

It meant that he had to choose whether to go inside or go back.

His heart was pounding. Didn’t someone see the two of them go up together? Maybe Kang Youngmo had someone take a picture of them? Maybe there would be a strange story floating around on social media right now. Such thoughts were entangled and Inseop could not take a single step.

“…good night.”

In the end, Inseop bowed his head and said goodnight. Lee Wooyeon did not answer and went into the room. The door slammed shut with a bang.

Inseop blinked his eyes and lowered his head. He was depressed. In fact, he wanted to go inside with Lee Wooyeon even now. From next week, the release of the movie and the preparation for the drama will coincide, so he will be very busy. After a few days, a day without a schedule would come. He wanted to beg Lee Wooyeon to read a book to him, and he wanted to leisurely talk about movies together.

But now was not the time to be greedy. Inseop walked back to the elevator. He pressed the button and sent CEO Kim a text message informing him of Lee Wooyeon’s safe arrival. The elevator arrived. He was thinking of sending a text message to Lee Wooyeon, but stopped. Inseop put his cell phone in his pocket and got into the elevator.

‘Let’s go home, take a hot shower, and think about how to apologize to Lee Wooyeon.’ Inseop pressed the close button. Just as the door was about to close, someone came in. Choi Inseop was surprised and raised his head. Lee Wooyeon stood with his feet out and leaned against the elevator entrance.

“I’m going to tell you in case you forgot.”

Lee Wooyeon’s expression was as usual. However, Inseop, who instinctively sensed his true intentions, became very nervous.

If you abandon me, you’ll die.”

“What?”

“If you abandon me, I’ll kill you.”

HeI was confused whether it was a plea to not throw him away or a threat to kill him.

Inseop blankly looked up at Lee Wooyeon. He met eyes with a man whose beauty was gentle enough to be unrealistic. The elevator door was about to close. Lee Wooyeon stepped in again.

“You understand?”

With great force, Inseop nodded awkwardly.

“And I’ve been thinking about what Mr. Inseop said earlier.”

He didn’t even have time to ask what he was talking about. Lee Wooyeon’s white hand stretched out into the elevator and grabbed Inseop’s collar.

“Isn’t it okay if I don’t touch you outside?”

The elevator door closed behind him.
