December 2020

"All men who met you fell for you!" Min Ho grumbled one afternoon. Lee Sang Yi, Go Eun's college friend, just stated that he wanted to act with her in a romance drama.

She's sprawled on the couch, reading a book. But she looked past her book and turned to him.

"You're exaggerating it, Oppa."

"Here's another actor crushing on you!" he said, showing her his phone.

She sat up and read it.

"Ah. He's going to play a cameo role in Yumi's Cells, that's why he's saying this."

"Aniya, I think he likes you, too."

"Ani, we're just friends."

"You don't know how people really feel, Eunni."

"Well, I'm with you, so what's the big deal if Sang Yi's a little playful? Millions of your fans want to sleep with Oppa anyway."

"Don't change the topic."

"I'm not, I'm just talking with you. If I get angry whenever I see comments online of girls calling you their husband, I'd have a stroke already."

His interest was piqued. "So you searched about me?"

"Don't change the topic," she warned.

"I'm not, I'm just talking to you," he copied her.

They stared at each other challengingly, then grinned.

He sat beside her, arms circling her waist.

"You're too cute, that's why."

"Oppa's too much, that's why."

"Too much of what? Too handsome? Too sexy? Too hot? You're so stingy with praises sometimes!"

She giggled.

"I'll say it if Oppa buys me lunch."

"I buy lunch for you all the time."

"Then if you buy me meat, I'll be really nice to Oppa."

They both knew she could buy a barbequed restaurant if she wanted, but she just enjoyed being pampered by him.

"Say it first."

"Oppa is really awesome," she whispered, her eyes glowing beside him.

"Jinjja?"

She nodded.

He sought her lips and she held him close. They had lunch late again that day.

Later, when he went filming, she posted the invitation for a Chanel event. It was at his house. Some fans immediately recognized that the photo was neither at her own place, nor her parents', nor BH Entertainment.

When he saw the post, he texted her, "You're posting at our house, now? Not afraid anymore?"

Confidently, she answered, "I doubt people will realize. And even if they do, that's ok."
