…..

In my room, I had just taken a bath when the phone suddenly rang.

Calling me so early, it could only be Yuri.

“Hey, Dylan… were you still sleeping?” The old lass asked with a tinge of excitement.

Sat on the bed drying my wet hair with a towel, I answer ” No, Just showered, something good happen?”

“Guess?”

“Oh, I know you must be pregnant, don’t worry. I’ll take responsibility” I quip

“Bah, as if. You are ten years too early to even dream about that” She follows up ” Front page of the National News paper. Your episode last night wasn’t just in the entertainment section! It is Everywhere”

Dread fills my body as I know I won’t be able to escape the wrath of Hora, once she gets wind of it.

“About what ?” I question obliviously

“Huh, you and Kim Tae. Kissed on National TV! The newspapers are calling you Korea’s greatest thief, let alone the comments section on Naver. Its been trending number 1 for the past 12 hours”

“Noona.. While I’m happy and all. Can’t you be a bit more concerned about your actor here. I might not get to live past tomorrow! Choo’s going to kill me”

“Well … in accordance with the old mantra of karma. “You get what you deserve” You lived a long enough life. Make sure to add me to your will”

“Noona!!”

“I’m kidding, I’m kidding. It’s just work. Choo Bae will understand. Anyway, they requested a statement, from our side. How should we respond?”

“It’s none of our business. So Dylan has yet to confirm or something along the lines of ‘because it is the artist’s private life, it is difficult to confirm’”

“Are you serious? That’s not an answer”

“It’s fine it will work… rather than stay silent like last time, this was on public television, we will give them a respond to rile them up. As Kanye says we’ll get the going gorrillas”

“What does that even mean?”

“No one does, but its provocative. Get’s the people going!”

“Whatever, you’re the boss. I’m off to give a media statement though . Try and stay alive my cash cow!”

And with that she ends the call unceremoniously.

Seeing how Hora is busying herself with breakfast, I decide to scroll through the comments section of the uploaded clip by SKBS – they certainly are doing a heck of a job at promotion.

Like Yuri said, the video is number 1 on the real time search results, with a healthy viewership of 1,5 million. The only strange thing about it, the dislike ratio has already reached 2 million, I guess all the men in Korea have set their mind in stone.

Great! I just became the most hated man in Korea overnight.

Reading through the comments, I pick out a few notable ones, finding myself amused at the creativity. I’m even more surprised that while most are in Korean, quite a number are in Thai, mandarin, Japanese and even English.

[Pear: I just soiled myself TT TT TT . JUST PLEASE MARRY EACH OTHER]

[Ita YOO: “Let’s stop before we do something really bad!” AAAh I’m dying Dylan, take me!”

[Lost in Sakura’s eyes: I need some air, fans herself, their chemi is from another world. Real life drama couple]

The comments continue their delusional rampage for few more pages before I finally get bored, tossing it to my side as I look up at the ceiling.

Rolling off the bed and stepping into the lounge, I smell the scent of freshly fried eggd. Kimchi. Mushrooms and ginger.

“You finally done? I swear you take longer than my girlfriends” Choo complains as she beckons me to the table

“C”mon Babe. Perfection takes time”

“Well then I guess you’ll need even more time then. It’s fine I can wait” She wittingly responds

“Since when were you so good with words?” I can’t help but ask

“I get a lot of practice. My boyfriend is quite the braggart. Never shuts up”

“Maybe he is just that good”

“I doubt it, now come sit and down”

“Will do my love” I obediently take my seat next to her as I dig into very Kimchi egg skillet.

The meaty mushrooms, the spicy and pickled kimchi pairs perfectly with the creamy runny eggs and the spicy mayo based sauce brought everything together.

Choo has really inherited her mother’s skills.

“Should I turn on the T.V? Don’t you normally watch that business news around this time” She asks as she leans for the remote.

‘No No No’

“Uhm nah, leave it I prefer, this view” I say teasingly

“Oh, well I want to watch the last half of last nights episode anyway.”

“Let’s do that later, I have to … uhm go to office early this morning. Let me drop you at training.”

“I don’t have training today” She answers

“Oh… wait I forgot my plans… why don’t we go for a picnic? It’s been a while since we went on a date right”

“Honey? Have you looked out the window its raining”

The panic slowly grows as I she readies herself and turns on the on button.

Seeing no other option I swiftly grab the remote from her as I turn the screen black ones more.

Facing her, I see a smirk on her face. I know that look.

I’ve seen it in my nightmares before.

“Ooooh, how skilful of you. Well I’m not surprised. You are Korea’s greatest thief aren’t you”

‘She knows’

“I know” She says

‘I’m dead’

“And you are so dead”

“Baechu, lets think rationally here okay”

“Okay, so what do want to lose first, your arms, your legs or …” She glances at a very precious part of my body, As I squirm in discomfort

“How about…. None… why are you coming closer, and … put the fork down… we can talk it out… Cmon it was just work. No pleasure. I didn’t even like kissing Tae ah… I promise you are the only one for me…. AAAH …stop biting me!”

“Nyoh, wyou mwust be punished” She says as she leaves very visible bite marks on my shoulder.

“Ah, I have a photo shoot later, what am I supposed to do about this?”

“Not my problem.” She humphs as we continue enjoy a very tasty breakfast albeit with a bit of pain.
