Minju's POV

I scrolled through the articles in my laptop as I looked at it sternly. I sighed mentally as I couldn't believe it got out.

"Park Shin Hye's daughter, Minju, spotted dating with college student" The article read.

I continued browing and found that almost every article had a picture of me and Malcolm.

"Kim Minju, adopted daughter of Park Shin Hye from Korea, has been reported to be currently studying at a college in Korea" The news anchor said as I watched it.

"Minju, who has escaped media attention since her high school graduation, is back in the spotlight after a year when pictures of dating an ordinary college guy in Seoul were exposed" The news anchor added as I took out my phone to dial Malcolm's number.

"According to our sources, Minju is staying in the same dormitory as the guy" He added.

"The person you are trying to reach is unavailable" My phone said which made me sigh.

Malcolm's POV

I looked up from my phone as I heard footsteps and people talking. I looked at the people with cameras as they stayed infront of the dorm entrance.

What's going on?

I walked closer as the chatter continued. I went up to a person who was talking to another person.

"Excuse me" I said to get his attention.

"Yeah?" He asked as the two of them looked at me.

"What's going on? Did something happen?" I asked and he looked at me as if he realized something.

"Oh, aren't you...it's him" He said and I gave him an awkward smile.

"You're the guy in the picture with Kim Minju, right?" He asked.

"It is him" The reporter he was talking to confirmed before holding out a microphone towards me.

"What?" I mumbled before getting surrounded by the other reporters as they crowded around me.

"Is that true? What's your name and major?" A reported asked.

I had a hard time keeping my eyes open as I would blink due to the flashes of their cameras.

"How long have you been dating?" Another reporter asked.

"Please tell us" Another one said as they all had their microphones held out towards me.

"We need a comment" One said and I felt speechless as if everything was getting blurry.

Uh...

Minju's POV

"Kim Minju, you're trending right now" Chaeyeon said as she walked in the dorm room with Chaewon, Han, and Hyunjin

"Minju. It's such an honor. I can't believe I'm here with a celebrity's daughter" Han chuckled as they all sat down together.

"Can someone call Malcolm-ah? He won't pick up" I asked.

"Either his battery died or his phone stopped working completely. Wanna make a bet?" Han asked Hyunjin.

"For 10,000 won? I'm in" Hyunjin laughed.

"Okay" They both giggled.

"But you've been in Korea for a while, right? How come it only got out now?" Chaewon asked.

"I don't know. My mom's people are looking into it, I think" I replied.

"Right? It doesn't make any sense. 'Cause if we didn't know when we actually shared a room with her, it means they were successful in keeping it a secret" Chaeyeon said.

"According to this article, earlier today, am American entertainment agency broke the news, which spread right away in the US, and Korean news agencies are covering it now" Han said and I looked at the articles as well.

"Do you know who took that photo?" Hyunjin asked as he looked at Han's phone.

"A paparazzi ,who has been following Minju around and stalking her, discovered that she was studying in Korea. That's what the article says. Read the news, will you?" Han complained and I sighed mentally.

"How do they do it? We were with her all day, and we didn't know" Chaewon sighed.

Malcolm's POV

I ran inside and went to the lounge. I looked around to see Changbin, Jeongin and Hangyul sitting at a table.

"Oh, Malcolm! There you are. Are you okay?" Changbin asked as he saw me.

"No, I'm not" I replied as I walked towards their table.

"What's going on out there?" I asked as I took Hangyul's Ipad on the table while Changbin and him stood beside me to see the article.

"This is you, isn't it? What the hell? Spill it" Hangyul whined as we scrolled through the page and found articles with pictures of me and Minju together.

Minju's POV

"How could you keep this a secret? You must've met all the Hollywood's stars" Han said.

"Have you met Robert Downey Jr.? What about Justin Bieber? Chris Evans?" He asked in excitement.

"Stop asking stupid questions" Chaeyeon groaned as she stood from her seat and went to me.

"I'm sure our Minguri already has alot in mind" She said as she massaged my shoulders.

"Our Minguri? Since when were you that close?" Hyunjin laughed.

"Who am I? I'm Minju's roommate. I'm officially the person she lives with" Chaeyeon replied and I sighed silently as I couldn't believe they're being like this right now.

"Why do you think she got paired up with me? Don't you see there's an obvious reason?" She retorted.

"All the world-class renowned students should be living together" She said before sitting back down.

We heard a knock on the door and our attention went towards the direction.

"Who is it?" Chaewon asked loud enough for whoever it is outside to hear it.

Chaeyeon made her way towards the door and smiled widely.

"He's finally here" She chuckled.

"Here comes today's main star" She clapped as Malcolm went in and walked towards me with Changbin and Jeongin following him from behind.

"Hey, are you okay? Why didn't you answer your phone?" I asked, very worried, as I stood up from my seat and went towards him.

"Because my phone battery died" Malcolm replied.

"I told you. What did I say? Didn't I say dead battery?" Han asked Hyunjin which makes Hyunjin sigh before paying him.

"Finally, the male and female protagonists are reunited. I can't believe I get to witness this historic moment" Jeongin teased.

"Noona, Hyung, can we take a group photo to commemorate our friendship?" Jeongin smiled and we looked at him.

"This isn't the time" Changbin told him.

"The dorm is surrounded with reporters looking for them" Changbin scolded.

"Listen now. There are too many eyes in the dorm. Rumors will quickly spread so we should be careful" Chaewon said and we nodded in agreement.

"Wait! One question" Jeongin said and we looked at him.

"Are you two really going out?"
