"It's just for a weekend"

You kept telling yourself that as you looked at the man walking beside you through your parents' garden, one hand on your waist and a perfect smile. He... was your "husband."

Or rather, your hired husband.

You had met him three days earlier. His name was Lee Byung Hun, and he was offering himself as a professional escort. He was discreet, elegant, and a good listener. His job was to interpret whatever you asked him to. And you asked him to be your husband.

"I want you to look real" You told him, when you were going over the agreement.

He smiled with a calm gleam in his eyes.

"I'll look like it. What if, in the process, I end up being a little bit like it?"

You laughed. You took it as part of the character's charm.

But now, 3 days later, you weren't so sure where the paper ended and began.

Your parents adored him. You no longer needed to pretend. Because when he held your hand, or said “my love,” something in your heart moved.

One night, after dinner, they were left alone in the guest room they pretended to share. You sat on the bed.

"You did very well today" You told him, without looking at him directly.

Byung Hun leaned against the door frame, arms crossed.

"I'm just interpreting what you asked me to do." He said, but his tone had something softer, more real.

"That's what scares me..." You confessed in a low voice.

"Because?"

You looked at him. And there you saw it: that sparkle in his eyes. Not from an actor or someone hired. But from someone who was really looking at you.

"Because I don't know if I can keep remembering that this is a lie."

He walked toward you. He crouched down in front of the bed, taking your hands with a disarming gentleness.

"I'm also starting to forget that it's a role." Mumbled

"And if you ask me… I can keep performing long after the weekend is over."

Your heart was beating rapidly. Because in the silences, the glances, and the caresses, you couldn't tell if it was an act or something more.
