Notes and Doodles

4 Years

The studio is full of excited fans who were lucky enough to be selected to join as a live audience in a pre-recording interview. Just a month ago a certain series sparked a lot of discussion online and one of the reasons is an up-and-coming actor. It is safe to say that most of the fans who showed up for the event are curious about this newbie actor especially since his social media account is also new and only contains a few photos of the behind-the-scenes of the series. A lot of the fans' interest got piqued as well because of the combination of good acting skill and handsome features of the young actor. Everyone started to quiet down when the production team gave the signal that they're starting the recording and right on cue the MC started his introductions.

"Everyone, let's all welcome the cast of the recently successful series titled The Moon is Beautiful, Isn't It?." There were a total of 4 actors present with three of them being veterans while the other one is the highly anticipated young actor. The three veterans did their self introduction and received a warm reception from the crowd but when it was time for the newbie actor everyone was already having a hard time with containing their squeals. "Hello everyone, my name is Kim Taehyung and I play as the second male lead in the series. Thank you for having me today," Taehyung said in his deep modulated voice then did a deep bow. Hearing his deep voice had the crowd cheering loudly which resulted in Taehyung getting shy.

The interview was turning out well especially since the MC was also a veteran in the industry. The three other actors with Taehyung were able to answer their questions and at the same time helped with promoting further their series. But the MC is aware that a lot are anticipating this first ever interview of Taehyung thus he made everyone glued to their seats by making the young actor answer last.

"This next question is for Kim Taehyungssi. Taehyungssi this series is your very first project as a rookie actor and I heard that you started filming right after you graduated from your film school. But while being a rookie actor, you were still able to capture the hearts of the audience because of your poignant portrayal of the second male lead character. We would like to know your motivation on how you were able to have that deep connection with your character thus making your portrayal impactful," the MC eventually asked Taehyung after making everyone wait.

"I'm very thankful to hear that a lot of people who got to watch the series appreciated the way I acted. If I could think of a reason why I was able to portray my character well then probably it's because I could understand my character's own motivation in the story and his perspective about love. In a way I could also relate with my character in the series," Taehyung said while keeping an eye contact with the MC.

"In what way could you say that you relate with your character?" the MC got further curious with Taehyung's previous answer thus he wanted to dig deeper. "I could relate to him because I myself have someone in my life that I'm scared to lose," a straightforward Taehyung answered. The MC got shocked with the candid answer of Taehyung and he realized that it was not only him that had such a reaction. Just by observing the various facial expressions of the other people present at the studio, it is easy to say that Taehyung threw them a curveball.

"To clarify your answer, do you mean that you are also in a romantic relationship right now?" the MC further asked hoping to clear any possible misunderstanding.

"Yes, I am." Taehyung answered in a voice devoid of any apprehension.

"Aren't you scared that you'll lose your newly found fans after they see this interview? You are just starting in the industry and Korean male actors would predominantly have female fans which would generally expect their idol to be single. And most actors would hide the fact that they are in a relationship while their career is still in its early stage." The MC doesn't know what to think of Taehyung now after hearing his admission. He is not sure if Taehyung is really brave or just doesn't care about the consequences of his actions.

"I am aware that there might be fans who won't take my admission of being in a relationship fairly but I really believe that there would be others who would appreciate my honesty. Just like what you have said I'm just new in the industry and I only have one series so far but I don't want to cause any possible misunderstanding between me and my baby bunny. As much as possible I don't want to be involved in any dating rumors that may cause discomfort towards the love of my life. My acting career will not be a constant in my life but my baby bunny is. Because of this person I trusted myself again when it comes to love. My Bunny reminds me everyday that the success or failure of our relationship will never be my sole responsibility but rather it will be ours. It would always be us in any situation and in any moment. My Bunny gave me this confidence that whichever phase of my life I may be at, whatever milestone or roadblock I may have, I will never be alone because I will always have this bunny person that would always be my number 1. I just wanted everyone to know that I am and will always be in love with my baby bunny. I won't share any personal information about this person because I wanted to keep that part of my life private and the love of my life doesn't really like any attention. All I can share is that I have been with this person for 4 years now and our relationship will never be perfect but it will always be strong. I see myself growing old with this person and I just want to set the expectation that I am already taken in a lifetime partnership with my baby bunny." Taehyung's lengthy explanation was done with utmost confidence which gave the message to everyone that he is being serious and has deep feelings towards his special someone. It gave the impression to everyone that he may be an actor with a promising start to his career but that would always pale in comparison with the love and importance that he would always give for his special someone.

"Wow, it is quite refreshing to meet someone like you in this industry. Someone who is confident to shout to the world that you are in a relationship without getting worried that such a statement may affect your budding career in a negative way, " the MC can't help but voice out his own opinion of the young actor.

"I really don't intend to show that I don't care about my career. Actually I really love acting. I have been studying in the field of performance arts since high school because I really have high respect for everyone in this kind of industry. I would really love to keep on working and improving my craft. I know as well that the success that I'm aiming for in my career in this industry will be possible with the support of my fans but I don't want to lie to my fans nor give the false impression that I am single when I'm not. KoAnd just like my character in the series, I myself have found the one for me. Others may say that I'm too young to say such a thing but those who have met the one for them will surely understand me. Once you have met the one for you, you would do everything to keep that person in your life and that is what I'm doing right now." Taehyung said while addressing the crowd of fans in the studio.

"It seems that you have more similarities with your character in the series than what we originally thought. I won't ask any personal information about your special someone but I'm just curious if you also confessed in such a grand manner like how your character did in the series." the MC this time playfully asked to lighten the mood a bit.

"How I wish I also did a grand gesture when I asked my baby bunny to be in a relationship with me, however I was impatient at that time and looking back I think it was not romantic as well. I can definitely tell it to everyone right now but I hope that I won't bore you with my story," Taehyung chuckled.

"Please do tell us."
