A Scandalous Pair | Kim Mingyu FF | Svt

Mingyu

"I would like to propose a jewelry collaboration between you and Les Carats."

She looked quite stunned as she heard me out. "Actually, my creative team were the ones who proposed it. And I think it's a great idea," I elaborated, explaining the concept to her. "My team projected that since we're dating and people love our chemistry, and considering you're an icon, your fans and the general public would be delighted to see your creative side and would love to buy the pieces."

She remained quiet for a few moments. "I mean, if you want to do it, then that's it. No need to feel pressured."

"I don't know, Mingyu. I'm not much of an artist, nor do I have great creativity," she replied uncertainly.

"It's okay, no problem. Our teams will be here to guide you every step of the way. And I'll be right by your side too. You don't have to worry about it," I reassured her. Haewon gave her a nod of encouragement, which seemed to reassure her.

She smiled and nodded. "Sure, then. Let's do it. Sounds fun after all," she agreed. I returned her smile warmly. After the recent movie fiasco, I hoped this collaboration would help her focus on something positive and divert her mind from the challenges in the industry. Working together on designing a jewelry piece might really benefit her.

"Great, then. So, shall we announce it to my team in the meeting room, or should we do it later?" I asked, eagerly awaiting her answer.

She appeared confused for some reason. "Don't you need my agreement in writing first?"

"All those formalities can wait. Mr. Wonwoo here will send you all the details later. So, if you have no further objections, shall we head to the meeting room?"

"You sure have changed," she chuckled.

"Why do you say that?" I asked, curious.

"Because the old Mingyu would have considered a signed piece of paper as a yes."

"True. Unless his girlfriend is the one saying yes now." With that, I led her to the meeting room. Before I followed Do-hee inside, I noticed both Wonwoo hyung and Ms. Haewon exchanging perplexed looks. I decided not to dwell on it. When we entered the meeting room, the creative team stood up and greeted us. "Hello, team. Thank you for waiting. You may already know her. This is Do Do-hee, one of Korea's top actresses and models, who also happens to be my girlfriend. Do-hee, meet Lee Ji-hoon, the team lead, Kim Jennie, the supervisor, Kim Taehyung, Park Hyungwon, and our new intern, Huh Yunjin. She's the one who proposed the idea for our collaboration."

"Nice to meet you all. Thank you for offering me such a wonderful opportunity to work with you. It would be a great pleasure of mine. Please take care of me." With that, Do-hee bowed to everyone. The meeting lasted nearly three hours, with all of us brainstorming and trying to select a theme for the new jewelry collection. However, we were unable to decide, so we agreed to revisit the ideas later.

As we wrapped up and headed outside, I called out to Do-hee.

"Do-hee, if you're free right now, would you like to grab lunch with me in the company cafeteria?" I could tell she hadn't expected such an offer from me. For some reason, I was eagerly awaiting her response, feeling a bit disappointed at the thought of her saying no. Though I'm not sure why Wonwoo hyung is looking at me so suspiciously.

She smiled and replied, "Sure."

"Okay then, I guess Mr Jeon and I will eat together." I glanced at Haewon, extending the sudden invitation. Wonwoo hyung also seemed puzzled by the situation.

"Oh no, Haewon, you don't have to. You guys can eat with us, right Mingyu?"

"Oh, Do-hee, it's not like that. Think about it—if you two eat together here, it'll be great for our public image. People will notice your chemistry and talk about it. Besides, Mr. Jeon and I have important matters to discuss regarding your collaboration. So please, don't worry about us."
