Chapter 1503 Drinking
"How could that be? I've already had a lot to drink. Didn't you see just how much Director An and the others can drink?"
Chi Jingyuan immediately retorted, "It's just that they all got a little carried away later, so I kept my distance... They're all seniors, so I didn't want to join in the fun."
"Your complexion is so normal, you don't look like you've been drinking at all."
Kim Ji-won stared at him with suspicion, unconsciously taking a few steps forward until she was almost touching him, tilting her head slightly to carefully examine his eyebrows, eyes, and complexion.
Her cheeks were flushed with the aftertaste of alcohol, like ripe apples. Her delicate skin glowed faintly under the light. A thin layer of moisture veiled her eyes, making them hazy yet clear. Her long, thick, curled eyelashes trembled gently, and the curve of each individual lash was clearly visible.
Especially since her breath carried a faint scent of alcohol, mixed with her natural fragrance, which wafted towards you.
Chi Jingyuan lowered his eyes slightly, sniffed lightly, and the aroma of wine and flowers was neither too strong nor too weak, but surprisingly pleasant.
It seemed that filming was wrapping up and everyone was about to part ways, so there was a mix of emotions brewing within them. At the same time, having drunk quite a bit, their speech and behavior were naturally a bit more unrestrained than usual.
"Because I can hold my liquor well."
Instead of dodging, Chi Jingyuan leaned forward and said shamelessly, "My drinking capacity is well-known in the industry."
...Actually, Chi Jingyuan didn't drink much at all. As soon as he saw that the senior members of the main creative team were getting tipsy, he immediately slipped away.
"...What's up with that?"
Kim Ji-won stood on tiptoe, tilted her head, and stared at Chi Kyung-won's face for a while. Then she shrank back, pursed her lips, and didn't believe Chi Kyung-won's nonsense at all: "I've been observing you for a while now. You sat there by yourself halfway through the meal, didn't drink much at all, and now you're still bragging..."
This woman was muttering to herself, her face flushed from the slight intoxication. Her speech seemed to be slightly slurred, with a hint of nasal slurring. Her pursed lips and constant complaining made her appear unusually cute, a far cry from her usual gentle and graceful demeanor.
"You saw me standing there all by myself, and you didn't even come over to say a few words?"
Chi Jingyuan immediately seized on her words, feigning displeasure as he frowned: "All you do is flatter Writer Cui, that's not being a good friend!"
"Oh, you're the one who's sucking up!"
Upon hearing this, Kim Ji-won frowned slightly and immediately slapped her hand across the table.
Usually, their jokes were just playful pats from a distance, but this time her hand actually struck Chi Jingyuan's arm, making a dull, muffled sound.
"I've been watching you drink the whole time. What have you been talking about?" Chi Jingyuan asked with a smile, pretending to dodge the question.
"It started as a casual chat, but the conversation drifted to scripts and acting..."
Kim Ji-won didn't hide anything and spoke frankly: "Writer Choi said he thinks highly of my acting and that I have a wide range of roles because of my appearance. I can act in idol dramas that emphasize appearance, as well as slightly more serious dramas like 'The Spy'."
"She said that after this, if there's an opportunity, she hopes to continue working together." Kim Ji-won spoke confidently, but there was still a hint of reserve and embarrassment in her tone. This woman is still a little shy, praising herself in front of a third person.
"..."
Ji Jingyuan did not refute, but tilted his head and looked Kim Ji-won up and down. He even took two steps around her with a serious and focused gaze, which made Kim Ji-won feel a little uncomfortable. She thought she had something on her face and wiped it off unnaturally.
Just as Kim Ji-won was about to urge him on, Ji Kyung-won suddenly took a step forward, just like she had observed him earlier. His nose almost touched her forehead. The sudden closeness startled Kim Ji-won, and she instinctively shrank back.
"That's right."
After observing for a while, Chi Jingyuan nodded seriously, his tone sincere, genuinely acknowledging Cui Lan's statement.
"..."
So after all that, you just wanted to know if I'm good-looking?
A smile instantly appeared in Kim Ji-won's eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. However, due to her modesty, she forced herself to purse her lips, trying to hold back, and the soft flesh of her cheeks was squeezed and bulged slightly.
"Just laugh if you want to," Chi Jingyuan said, seeing her awkward yet restrained expression.
"Ha ha……"
Kim Ji-won couldn't help herself and dropped the pretense, laughing and patting him again: "You don't need to say it~"
Her slender, white hand landed on his arm again, the warm touch penetrating through the thin shirt and spreading to the surface of his skin. The gentle touch seemed to turn on some kind of hidden switch.
"Honestly, Writer Cui is really biased. She never said anything like 'I think highly of you' or 'I hope to continue working with you' to me."
Chi Jingyuan chuckled twice, then frowned and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Didn't I perform as well as you during the filming?"
"Oh, everyone knows that you chose Cui Lan to be the screenwriter for this drama. Would she say something like that to you?"
Kim Ji-won gave the Versailles man a disdainful look: "What are you pretending for?"
"Hahaha~"
Upon hearing this, Chi Jingyuan touched his nose and burst into laughter.
The two were still standing at the restaurant entrance. The restaurant had returned to calm, and they were among the last to leave.
A gust of wind swept over them, ruffling the hem of Ji Kyung-won's shirt and tousling Kim Ji-won's long hair.
After the laughter, we had said almost everything. As is customary, it was time to wave goodbye.
But after a few seconds of silence, Kim Ji-won spoke again, her tone tinged with a hint of wistfulness, yet also seeming somewhat deliberate:
"The filming of 'The Spy' is finished."
"Indeed, time flies."
Chi Jingyuan nodded.
"I feel that I have made great progress."
"Actor Kim, you really did a good job."
"So thank you so much for your help, Mr. Chi."
"Help each other, help each other."
Chi Kyung-won looked ahead, while Kim Ji-won stood beside him, holding her coat. The wind blew through her hair, causing her long hair to flutter and cling to her slightly flushed face.
A strand of hair was lifted by the wind, playfully waving in front of Chi Jingyuan, swaying gently before falling back down, leaving only a faint fragrance.
Their conversation was rather pointless, consisting of nothing more than trivial remarks and expressions of gratitude.
But no one left.
At that moment, Ji Kyung-won turned his head, looked at Kim Ji-won who was turned to the side, holding her coat but not looking at him, and suddenly smiled:
"Ji-won-xi~"
"Hmm?" Kim Ji-won turned her head and swept her hair behind her ear.
"Would you like to go for another drink?"
…………
After making things clear, the two tacitly agreed not to say anything more and walked side by side to the parking lot. Ji Kyung-won opened the car door and let Kim Ji-won get in first, then he went around to the driver's seat.
Once inside the car, in this private space, the atmosphere changed instantly.
They had been rambling on and on at the door for ages, but then they turned to look at each other without saying a word, and as if they were of one mind, they immediately embraced.
After Bobo was a little out of breath, Chi Jingyuan drove straight to his nearest property without mentioning drinking at all.
After opening the door, Chi Jingyuan closed it behind him. The next second, they embraced again, both feeling the effects of the alcohol. Their passion was intense and their emotions were both quite high.
After hugging him for a while, Kim Ji-won gently pushed him away, leaned against him, and breathed heavily. Her voice was thin and muffled, with a lazy huskiness: "Didn't we say...we were going for drinks?"
Chi Jingyuan looked down at her flushed cheeks and gently wiped the water from the corner of her mouth.
"Aren't you drinking it right now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he bent down again.
There's no unnecessary affectation, just the most instinctive attraction and surrender.
Having worked together for so long, Ji Kyung-won's sharp eyes had already scanned Kim Ji-won's figure to get a general idea of what she looked like, but after actually getting to know her, she was a little better than he had imagined.
Although her feminine features are not particularly prominent, her body and arms are well-defined and toned, her waist is slender, and her skin is very good, giving her a lot of feminine charm.
What's even more remarkable is that she possesses a quiet and serene temperament. Her cool bone structure is paired with soft facial features. She is usually gentle and reserved, but at this moment, after letting down all her guard, she exudes a sense of unrestrained liberation, creating a unique sense of contradiction.
Anyway... it's great.
Actually, it was quite natural for the two of them to get together.
Although Ji Kyung-won and Kim Ji-won did not act opposite each other and did not have many scenes together.
After spending several months together, filming together every day, discussing scripts, exchanging acting tips, and chatting about gossip whenever they had free time, they would also get together to chat.
The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, and they are relaxed and comfortable together. How could they not have feelings for each other?
Compared to Ji Kyung-won, Kim Ji-won clearly had more of these emotions, as evidenced by the time Ji Kyung-won helped her analyze the script and character, helping her make a breakthrough in her acting.
During the months of filming, Ji Kyung-won helped her a lot, and Kim Ji-won also felt that it was really interesting and relaxing to be with him.
And in terms of appearance, it was exactly to her liking.
As filming neared its end, Kim Ji-won was clearly experiencing some emotional turmoil and harboring some secret thoughts. Ji Kyung-won noticed that she was talking to him much more in the last few days.
However, due to their modesty, they are embarrassed to say certain things.
Chi Jingyuan immediately understood and didn't hesitate, so it was a two-way street.
Although it wasn't a deep emotional connection, it was certainly a release of personal feelings and goodwill.
After a long while, everything returned to calm.
Kim Ji-won lay there, the flush of alcohol on her face now spreading throughout her body.
She slowly came to her senses, looked at the unfamiliar room and Chi Jingyuan beside her, paused for a moment, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and then she regained her composure.
But she didn't hesitate. Instead, a subtle smile appeared on her face, radiating a happiness that was a little embarrassing to admit, yet overflowing from fulfilling a small expectation and leaving no regrets.
There was even... a little bit of enjoyment.
Ji Kyung-won, who got up first, handed over a glass of water. Kim Ji-won took it naturally, glanced at him a few times, and especially looked at his chest.
Just as she was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang.
Kim Ji-won leaned forward, reaching out to grope on the bedside table. Her long hair fell down, obscuring her face and revealing her slender, fair neck, all the way down to her thighs.
Chi Jingyuan admired the view from the side.
She picked up her phone, glanced at the screen, and her expression instantly turned strange: "My agent is looking for me. He's called so many times, but I didn't hear him just now."
"Didn't you tell him? I thought you had." Chi Jingyuan blinked.
"Go to hell, why are you talking about something like this?"
Kim Ji-won, who is usually very mild-mannered, immediately gritted her teeth in anger, like a cat with its fur standing on end.
She glared at her with displeasure, her big, round eyes carrying no threat whatsoever.
She drank two sips of warm water, sat up, and covered her lower body and chest tightly with the blanket. Holding her phone in both hands, her brows furrowed slightly, she was clearly thinking about how to reply to her agent.
"..."
Seeing her troubled expression, Chi Jingyuan thought about how even that quiet and gentle girl had indulged herself for a day, and for some reason, he suddenly wanted to tease her: "Just say you went drinking."
"Pah! We drank so much at the dinner party, who wants to drink anymore?"
Kim Ji-won immediately rolled her eyes at him for this terrible idea.
"That……",
Chi Jingyuan looked up and thought for a moment, suppressing a smile, and seriously suggested, "Just say you got lost."
As he spoke, as if he thought the idea was good, he repeated it with emphasis: "Yes, just say that you have lost your way in life."
"Haha, you really are..."
Kim Ji-won covered her mouth and laughed at his joke. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and the blanket in front of her slipped down a little, revealing her undulating curves.
She casually pulled the blanket up, laughed, and then rolled her eyes at him: "I knew I'd run into a pervert."
"..."
Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment upon hearing this, frowning and pursing his lips as if pondering the words. After a few seconds, he raised an eyebrow and nodded in agreement: "That works too~"
"Hahaha~"
Kim Ji-won was amused by him again.
As Ji Kyung-won looked at her face, memories flashed back, and he felt as if he had returned to 2013 when he was filming "The Heirs".
To be honest, although we worked together for a few months, I didn't have a very deep impression of Kim Ji-won, mainly because she was relatively low-key, and my attention was on Jung Soo-jung at the time.
My deepest impression of Kim Ji-won at the time was her bangs, which looked like a pot lid, when she was filming.
Memories flooded back, and Chi Jingyuan suddenly smiled.
"why are you laughing?"
Kim Ji-won looked at him strangely.
"I think life really is just like a script."
Ji Jingyuan looked at her and shook his head: "Kim Tan actually got together with Yoo Rachel. The Heirs ended too soon."
"Haha, ah, what are you doing~ you still..."
The two hugged each other again.
Kim Ji-won also forgot what to say to her manager.
After a long while, it grew dark.
"Are we considered a couple on set?"
Kim Ji-won got up and began to tidy her clothes, asking casually as she dressed.
"Couples in film crews usually become couples while filming and break up after filming wraps up. Our situation is the opposite... I guess it doesn't count."
"Then what are we?"
Kim Ji-won straightened her clothes, turned around, looked at him, and her eyes held a hint of curiosity.
"Hmm, drinking buddies?" Chi Jingyuan thought for a moment, raised an eyebrow, and asked tentatively.
"That's good~"
Kim Ji-won smiled gently and did not refute.
But her eyes softened slightly, and she seemed to relax a bit. She picked up her bag and turned back to look at Chi Jingyuan with a smile before leaving.
"I'll find a chance to drink with you again sometime."
