In the midst of the hustle and bustle, a woman staff member whom I hadn’t seen before was rushing toward us, opening the front door and running toward us.
As urgent as it seemed, once she stopped in front of us, her shoulders bounced up and down with rough breaths.
“Haah, haah… Director.”
“First, it would be better to catch your breath.”
Jun quickly took the things she held in her hands, saying, as she caught her breath. Although she was catching her breath quite roughly, it took her a bit of time. Naturally, my gaze went to the items that were handed over to Jun from her hands.
Following the shape of the number eight, the garment draped in a circle looked like a suit at first glance. Seeing that she had separately prepared the outfit, she seemed to be a staff member from the directing department responsible for the actors’ styles.
After a while, she finally caught her breath and spoke.
“A few days ago, the director sent pictures of school uniforms for this movie shoot.”
“Oh, yes. That’s right.”
“So, I tried to prepare a school uniform with a design as similar as possible, but I haven’t received costume confirmation from the director yet. However, since the first scene involves Hee wearing this school uniform, I felt so rushed.”
“So you came running like that as soon as you saw me? You didn’t need to be so nervous. Hyunyoung must have prepared everything skillfully. I wasn’t worried at all.”
Jun extended his arm to examine the clothes draped over my arm. Standing next to Jun, I also took a subtle look, as it was an angle visible to me as well.
The school uniform had a Chinese collar that locked up to the upper part of the neck. It looked similar to the school uniform you were wearing on the day I first met you, Jun, in my memory.
Even before entering the actual movie shoot, just facing the school uniform that Jun wore at the age of twenty.
I inadvertently recalled Jun’s appearance, looking at me with a fresh smile on his face, wearing that school uniform on his arm, showing a pure smile like a boy’s.
“That was a good decision not to worry unnecessarily. Let’s go with this outfit. There’s no need to look at the others.”
Nevertheless, at Hyunyoung’s suggestion to take a look, Jun, as if stealing a glance at the other two outfits, confidently said it would be better to go with the first outfit, revealing his stubbornness.
“Then… where should we look, Director?”
“…Yes?”
“Director, you and Jihoon have similar appearances, body shapes, and even heights. You have a robust and slim body with a proper amount of muscles, and Jihoon in his early twenties still has that feeling. It seems more vivid if Jihoon wears this school uniform. I’m really looking forward to it.”
I’m looking forward to it too. I glanced at Jun for a moment. However, based on what Hyunyoung just said, there was no comment to catch on to. Jun, who had been silently listening to her talk, started to express his dissatisfaction.
“But people say we look alike with Jihoon. If we look similar in appearance and body shape, how will people distinguish when they meet us on the street?”
“Hey, Director. People can tell the difference. The director has a slightly softer impression. Especially the eyes…”
“Puppy.”
“What?”
“Somebody always says I look like a puppy.”
Sometimes, she would wipe Jun’s forehead and say he looks cute like a puppy. Every time she did that, Jun would blush, embarrassed by the compliment. Nevertheless, I quietly smiled, wondering if he still remembered my words.
“Really. For a man, your eyes are quite big, and your eye shape is so neatly defined.”
“Is Jihoon not neat?”
“Huh? Director, you’re not jealous of Jihoon, are you?”
“Jealousy? Of course not. People kept saying we look alike. People with a preference for someone with my appearance might mistake us.”
As Jun spoke the last sentence, he turned his head towards me without expression. Was he telling me to listen…?
“There are many people who have a preference for the director’s appearance. What’s there to worry about?”
She let out a frivolous laugh and said she would get ready for the fitting with the school uniform in hand. When she was about to return to her place, Jun hurriedly redirected her steps.
“Oh, Hyunyoung. So, is Minseo’s costume ready now?”
“Ah… I heard that Minseo’s shoot starts tomorrow. Still, the preparation is done.”
“That’s good. If it’s okay, I’d like to see it now.”
“If you confirm it here, that’s great for me. I’ll bring it down soon.”
While she went back upstairs, I spoke quietly to Jun amid the busy steps of the staff, covering it as a shield.
“Jun.”
“Yeah?”
“When I saw that school uniform, it reminded me a lot of the past.”
“Right. Me too.”
“I want to see you wearing that school uniform again.”
Jun smiled faintly.
“You used to wear suits often when you came over.”
“It’s different from suits. School uniforms feel much fresher and more nostalgic.”
“Why? Because now you’re too imposing, so it’s neither fresh nor particularly nice?”
“Yeah, not particularly nice.”
At my playful comment just now, Jun’s face quickly stiffened, but then he burst into laughter. He turned his head quickly. Just then, Hyunyoung, who had gone back upstairs, was seen coming down while carrying Minseo’s costume.
“The costume you ordered for Minseo. Is this feeling alright for you, Director?”
Naturally, my gaze shifted to the costume she was presenting. And at that moment, as I confirmed the costume Jun had ordered, my calm heart, which hadn’t harbored any expectations, began to beat wildly.
How could this be…
