Spoilers for chapter 78: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/14938362/

***Apparently, we're not privy to what's happened at JH's inauguration, but everyone's invited to witness YO at the 28th Korean International Film Festival for his career-first nomination***

On the red carpet, YO and fellow cast members attend a photocall for their film, "반계" (Bangye). During their quick interview, YO is surprised to spot JH exchanging pleasantries with other guests just right outside the stanchions, his back to YO. A mere stone's throw away yet YO feels the past several months (and perhaps JH rising to VP?) had put them worlds apart. He steals another glance at JH before his group head inside, and only when they do so does JH get a chance to regard YO, his expression besotted, and eyes never straying.

***

The award for Best Rookie Actor is up and no one is more surprised than YO himself when the presenter calls out his name.

Unprepared for not having expected to win, a flustered YO grasps his statuette with shaking hands as he delivers his speech. He considers it an honor to be nominated alongside outstanding actors and didn't believe he would have stood a chance, describing his win as surreal. He goes on to thank the people who took a chance on allowing him to take part in their film, the staff for working so hard, his fellow actors for encouraging him....

JH's secretary interrupts, stating it's imperative he leave now, lest he be late for the engagement he has on schedule, but JH wouldn't budge. :3

YO ends his speech by expressing his utmost gratitude to an individual who helped him foster his dreams. Maybe they won't get to hear it, but YO wants it known that the first step they took for him will be the most invaluable one into the long journey he has ahead of him. (There goes JH's validation. )

***

Now in plainclothes, YO and his co-workers go out to celebrate. They chatter over drinks. Their mood jubilant.

*

YO is three sheets to the wind as his manager drives him home. He suggests he be dropped off just outside their alley, claiming the stroll will sober him up.

A pile of congratulatory bouquets splash before him as the manager lifts the hatch to his van, and nothing stands out more than the one with familiar flowers, which YO takes with him. ( https://imgur.com/a/bMIVQNf Weird that it first came with a red ribbon, but turns into blue once YO's grabbed it. Perhaps YO's mistaking it for the bouquet that JH gave him in chapter 31 since that one did come with a red ribbon.)

YO makes it home, but is too hammered to bring himself in. He falls on his ass, too tired to make any more effort. The flowers cradled in his arms bring JH to his mind. That JH is a sponsor is how YO rationalizes his attendance, and having gone unnoticed contributes to that belief.

*

JH finds YO passed out on the side of the road. He grabs the flowers (the watch so blatantly on display, dammit) and comments that YO still has his old drinking habit (of dozing off). He picks YO up and carry him in his arms.

[END]

Wait, where'd the flowers go? And just where do you plan to whisk him off?

I hope eeej will recreate the dream scene from chapter 75, except it's real this time. I mean, does JH actually plan to ring their doorbell? Surely, it's late?

1987 is JH's birthyear. Could YO be anymore obvious...

Renta: He could never tell him the way he feels about him... but getting physical is different!! Kei...
