Chapter 32: The Four Roses
Kim Ho-woo, who came home at night, couldn't calm down for a long time.
He sat down on the couch and stared at the ceiling, but his mind was full of what Tiffany had said to him earlier.
"It's useless for you to say it's not suitable, it's only useful if I realize that we're not suitable!"
Jin Haoyu always has that face mixed with stubbornness, unwillingness, self-confidence, strength and other feelings in front of him, and that pair of smiling eyes that are completely different from the sweet and sweet ones on weekdays, burning with inexplicable flames.
He shook his head, picked up a clear glass bottle with the four roses emblazoned with a charming amber liquid, and poured it all into the whiskey glass, which was already empty and had only a small piece of irregular ice, leaving not a drop, and when the bottle was empty, the liquid in the glass was only three fingers wide.
Jin Haoyu shook a little and then poured it down violently and closed his eyes.
Four Roses is the longest-running bourbon brand in the United States, and it tastes light citrus and caramel, smooth and balanced, with a cask flavor that is not particularly heavy, and it doesn't have the peated and smoky flavor that Scotch whisky is known for.
This is one of the reasons why Kim Ho-woo prefers Bourbon, although he is often ridiculed by his friend Kim Jun-ho for having no taste and not knowing how to appreciate the beauty of real whiskey, but in his opinion, the wine that can make him feel relaxed is the real good wine, regardless of whether it is orthodox or not.
"What a burden..."
The effect of alcohol made his feelings active and his nerves sensitive, and at this time he was like a real 24-year-old young man, instead of pretending to be deep and old-fashioned on weekdays, like a 30-year-old man.
Although Tiffany said something that he didn't think about, it made Kim Ho-woo, who was used to evading and procrastinating, feel very uncomfortable.
Perhaps for some men, having such an enthusiastic pursuit of a girl must be a happy and happy heart.
But for him, who is not good at doing multiple-choice questions and is very afraid of trouble, these things are not a good thing, and it was not easy for him to clear his mind and decide to concentrate on moving forward, and he suddenly became a little confused.
Jin Haoyu picked up the mobile phone next to him and saw that the hour hand had slipped into two o'clock in the middle of the night.
He hesitated, but raised his hand to make a call.
After waiting for a while, the other party finally answered the phone.
"Hey..."
Listening to the confused and lazy voice over there, the corners of Jin Haoyu's mouth inadvertently curled.
He seemed to imagine that the other party was holding the quilt sideways, with his eyes closed, pouting, holding his phone between his head and the pillow, and replying in a delirious manner.
"Asleep?" Jin Haoyu asked softly.
"Hmm"
The other party answered and then stopped talking, as if he had fallen asleep again.
"Actually, it's nothing, I just suddenly want to hear your voice."
Jin Haoyu lowered his head and smiled, as if he was talking to himself,
"Hmm"
The other party still replied in a lazy nasal voice.
"Now, Taeyeon, I miss you."
Jin Haoyu suddenly said something that he had been ashamed to say in the past.
"Hmm"
It's as if they didn't even notice what he was saying.
"Then go back to sleep, good night."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and couldn't bear to disturb the other party's sleep anymore, and the depression in his heart seemed to dissipate a little.
Jin Haoyu seemed to be gradually interested, and then dialed another phone call to go out.
"Hey?!"
Hearing the unique tone of coldness and anger that he had not seen for a long time, he couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"It's me."
Jin Haoyu opened his mouth and said a nonsense.
"Do you know what time it is?"
He listened to the other party's questioning full of anger and dissatisfaction, and he tried to suppress the smile that he couldn't control.
"Inside, it's 2 o'clock."
"Do you know that I hate it when people disturb my sleep?"
"Ah, is it? I don't know. ”
"Do you know who I hate the most right now?"
"Inside, it's me, isn't it me what you hate the most."
"Then do you know that you haven't contacted me in a month?"
"Ne, so I called."
"So you're calling at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night?! You've drunk too much! ”
"No, I just drank a little."
Jin Haoyu looked at the empty 700ml bottle in front of him and said.
"You go die!!"
Jin Haoyu listened to the busy sound coming from the earpiece, his head tilted and fell on the sofa with a smile, he never thought that teasing Jessica was such a fun thing to laugh all the time.
But when he thought that in a few days it would be the next shooting date of the Infinite Challenge Song Festival, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She can't help but beat herself up in front of the camera...
Kim Ho-woo deeply doubts the self-control of Jessica, who often does things and talks but has no brains, especially now that he has offended the other party to the extreme.
But soon Jin Haoyu put this matter behind him in an instant, and going with the flow is one of the rules of life he believes in, saying that the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, but after all, it is just an excuse for him to be lazy.
Jin Haoyu flipped through the address book of his mobile phone, as if he was looking for someone who could harass him at this time but would not turn his face in the future.
As for Jessica? Haven't the two already turned their faces?
Finally, he saw a number, his eyes lit up, and he tried to call it.
"Hello?"
This time, the owner of the voice seemed to be a little tired, but it could be said to be very awake, crisp and agile.
"You're not filming, are you?"
"Inside, now the props team is rearranging the scene and resting, oppa is looking for me so late?"
"Ah, it's nothing, just see how you are, isn't this almost over."
Jin Haoyu's tone was calm and soft, which was completely different from the tone that he often used to be strict on weekdays.
"I'm okay, I'm used to shooting at night, but oppa, why don't you rest so late?"
The other party's words of active concern made his heart warm.
"There's something to think about, I just can't sleep."
Somehow, he actually said his state directly in front of the other party without concealment.
After listening to the other party start to teach how to fall asleep quickly and overcome insomnia, Jin Haoyu couldn't help but smile and said, "You are so experienced, do you often have insomnia?" ”
"Huh? Inside... It used to be a little..."
The other party paused and then said: "Oppa, if you can't figure out something, just talk to me, it will be much better to talk about the problems in your heart, it will be very helpful for insomnia." ”
"Thank you, but I can't tell you these questions..."Jin Haoyu refused softly.
"That's right... Then I'll tell OPPA a joke. ”
Jin Haoyu listened to the other party's joke in order to make himself happy, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, you better save some energy, don't shoot for a while." ”
"No, so that OPPA can be happy and I can cheer myself up, otherwise it will be bad if I fall asleep."
Jin Haoyu listened to the innocent and innocent voice on the other side, and said softly: "Have you thought about your wishes?" ”
"Huh?"
"Didn't you say that if the ratings exceed 15%, your wish will be fulfilled."
"Oh, that, I haven't had time to think about it, oppa, are you serious?"
Jin Haoyu chuckled when he heard this: "Of course, I can still tell lies, since I promised you, I will definitely do what I say." ”
"Then I'm going to have to plan it out!"
"Hurry up, it's outdated, maybe I'll forget it after a while."
"Hey~oppa! Didn't you just say you did what you said? ”
"Did I say that? How come I don't remember? ”
Kim Ho-woo smiled and deliberately joked.
"oppa~ without such..."
Jin Haoyu and Lin Yuna chatted until the opposite side started filming again, and then he hung up the phone.
"Cut, I'm so bored... Do you have a headache so much that you need to harass others to comfort yourself..."
After Jin Haoyu sighed secretly, he picked up the wine bottle and seemed to want to drink a little more, but he couldn't pour out a drop.
He looked at the empty bottle in his hand helplessly, "Even you are against me, and I don't think I can afford it enough..."
His eyes seemed to be a little flowery, and the four bright red roses on the bottle changed color in his eyes.
"What's this? New variety? I've never seen it before, and it doesn't make a difference when I drink it..."
He looked at the familiar and unfamiliar trademark of red, white, yellow, and purple roses, and fell into deep confusion
