My Own Korean Drama
Chapter 11 - Dating

It's Min-wook. Now I carry a plastic bag while walking to where Chris is. After Chris asked to run away together, I immediately called Jae Eun Hyung that I would not return to the studio today. I don't know why the dating news didn't hit me too much even though Gu Boy's popularity might have declined because of it. Not that I don't think about the other members who share my destiny. I think popularity will decline without us being able to predict when that will happen, if my time is when dating news circulates, I will accept that as long as I can still enjoy life with the people I love.

I stopped to look at Chris from a distance. My girl was sitting on the green grass by the river. His legs were straightened forward while his hands were closing his body. His eyes closed while looking up as if looking up at the sky. I took a cell phone out of my pants pocket and took a photo of Chris from a distance. I smiled at my picture, the girl looked very relaxed. I put the phone back in my pants pocket before finally continuing my steps towards Chris. My girl turned to look at me as we stayed a few steps away.

“Tteokbokki!” adorable scream. I've never seen Chris this late. I reached out the hand that held the plastic bag to her. With a smile, Chris received a plastic bag from my hand. I sat down next to her as this girl started to pour this red food into her mouth. Chris then looked at me and smiled as he lifted the spoon to bribe me. I opened my mouth to take a bribe from him. This is the date I always dreamed of. I don't know why it's just coming out right now. I always dreamed of this day. The day I didn't think there would be paparazzi following us.

“Where did you find this place?” Chris asked after swallowing his tteokbokki.

“Arsen,”

“Wait! Arsenio Callahan?!” Chris' screams hysterical.

“Why is Nuna so hysterical?” I was a little confused.

“Gosh! I idolize him so much! Come on introduce me to him!” Whining adorable Chris. I never knew that Chris idolized Arsen.

“I will introduce Arsen to Nuna if she visits me,” I said smilingly looking at her bright face. Just for additional information, this place is not real nature. This is an artificial open-air place that is deliberately made for a specific purpose, or if lucky like me can be used for dating.

That day we spent in the river. No, I didn't run away from the company. We were both licensed, and Go PD-nim immediately agreed. I'm glad to see Chris with eyes as bright as today. Chris is asleep in the passenger seat next to me. The journey back to Seoul is still quite long.

I promise I will always accompany this girl no matter what. Seeing how Chris can sleep without drugs makes my heart calmer. I understand how depressed Chris is. I understand that the entertainment industry makes him unable to calm down through life. I hope that one day Chris will be able to sleep like this again, without drugs whatever the circumstances.

Chris' head moved slowly. His body wriggled slightly then his eyes began to open. His lips smiled thinly. Chris' newly woken up face looked very innocent. I smiled at the way a famous actress seemed to be squirming like a baby in her chair. My girl's eyes blinked a few times before finally grabbing my hands holding her possessive. I let go of my right hand being hugged by Chris completely. Luckily the road was quiet so I could still drive the car with one hand.

After a long drive, my car finally got into the parking lot of Chris' apartment. My daughter is still asleep hugging my hand. I stared at Chris for a moment. There's a sense of unwillingness to part with him tonight. I always wanted to be by his side, to be around him. I had no intention of waking him up. I just want to look at him like this, as long as possible.

“We're here?” Ask Chris who is back to squirming.

“Nuna wants to go somewhere else again?” I asked Chris.

“Can we live like this? Forever?” Chris asked with an innocent look as if it was the desire of his deepest heart.

“I promise I will make Nuna live like this forever.” I say it is not just to reply to someone who just woke up. I'm really going to give Chris a peaceful life, someday.

After driving Chris safely to his apartment, I went back to the dorm. This time it is no longer a small apartment that is inhabited by 7 people. Gu Boy's Dorm is much better, much better. We used to live in the Gangnam area but unfortunately not everyone knows that not all Gangnam area is a classy building, and Gu Boy used to live in the area that is seen as one-sided. Our place is getting better now. It may be located from the PE building further than the previous dorm but the facilities we get are much better. We haven't reached a billion won luxury residence yet but I'm sure someday, I'll get one.

I picked up a can of beer from the fridge and went to the balcony to sip it slowly. The sparkling city of Seoul is a sight I always see at night. I put my arm on the fence that felt cold. Winter will soon pass, I hope the news of the date passes with winter. I glanced back when I heard the door shift. It's Hyun-sik, leader Gu Boy - if you forget. I saw him clutching a can of beer, I wondered what was the topic tonight.

“Hyung, how does it feel?” Hyun-sik asks after the first stand of beer.

“What?” I don't understand.

“Dating scandal,” replied Hyun-sik then back up straight the contents of his can.

“Entah, I still wonder why I was,” answered I began to pour out my heart.

“You wish other members were exposed first?” Ask Hyun-sik. I snorted amusedly. Right too, I never expected any of us to be exposed.

“I had regretted why plunged into the world of entertainment, it was very difficult to just date, but I again remembered that the world of entertainment that brought me to Nuna. You want to know what it's like, I feel like an unforgivable criminal case suspect.” I poured out my heart.

“What are you afraid of, *Hyung*?” Ask Hyun-sik again.

“I'm more afraid if I have to choose between Nuna, and Gu Boy. Maybe if I had to choose, I would resign from the entertainment world then live a normal life.” My answer seems to be the closing statement of today's topic. Afterwards, Hyun-sik patted me on the shoulder slowly and then went inside. I took a deep breath and then closed my eyes.

**MY OWN KOREAN DRAMA**

I am so grateful to be at Purple Entertainment. This agency was not the biggest when I came in but I think it's the best agency. This was the first time Gu Boy had been hit by a scandal but Go PD-nim easily cleared up the issue to make a clarification. One thing that amazed me about this agency was that there was no apology in the clarification. Everything written was a request for support for us, I can see the positive comments that the Luvs, and Trister left behind.

Dating scandals no longer sound as if all the people in the world support us. Even though we were free to date, I still went to enclosed places that sometimes took hours to arrive. This is the second week after the initial news of the dating scandal. Chris returned to her activities as an actress, and I returned with my busy work preparing for the *comeback*.

Like the days leading up to another comeback, I lay in the dance studio with my breath almost gone. This is no longer a small, hot, dance studio. The studio is now far from the studio I used to work with Chris. I closed my eyes back to those days. I was one of the living witnesses of how Chris learned Korean, learned to dance, learned to cry. I never once saw Chris give up. Given that the dating scandal could have brought her down, there was a bit of resentment in my chest. I know that entertainment isn't Chris' original goal but the problem is that I don't know the real reason Chris got into the industry either.

“*Hyung*, you should see this,” Hyun Sik said as he gave his phone to me. I took Hyun Sik's phone. My eyes were glued to that news headline, “Exclusive Interview With Dating Rumorist Trine Mckenzie and Min-wook Gu Boy”. The news contained an interview with the person who opened my relationship with Chris to Rispact. The point is this guy knows people from Chris' past. My thoughts are only on one person, Auriga, but why? I held the rumble inside my chest. I returned the phone to Hyun Sik with a half-angry flat look. I lay back on the floor.

**MY OWN KOREAN DRAMA**

“So she is assistant makeup artist Gu Boy, we moved her temporarily because the makeup artist position Chris is empty, we have not been able to contact her,” Go PD-nim said. You are in his room now. There's just the two of us. I went to see him when my schedule was over. I deliberately set up a schedule to talk to Go PD-nim after finishing training *comeback*Gu Boy.

“Are you going to sue him?” I asked expectantly for the answer as I wanted.

“Someone has already paid the fine.” After the statement of the repayment of the fine, a sad atmosphere filled our atmosphere. I silently stared at the outside window with the view of the sun starting to set.

“Is Chris okay?” My toot.

“It looks like he wants to vacuum for a while,” he replied sadly.

“Are you going to allow it?” Asking back.

“He has been quite tormented, I know his soul is not in this industry, he has survived long enough,” Go PD-nim said then sniffed tired. If Chris stops, he'll go back to London, and if that happens are we still together?

“Can PD-nim promise me one thing?”

“What?”

“Please hold Chris for me as much as possible,”.

“I'll try,” she replied then looked out the window. I got up from the chair to get out of the room.

“I go,” I say goodbye.

“Min-wook a,” call the guy then I turn around.

“Let go what needs to be released, hold what needs to be held,” said Go PD-nim who confused me. I looked at the man in front of me for a moment. The sound of air conditioning seemed to justify his words. I held back the tears that wanted to come down. Without a word I left the room.

**MY OWN KOREAN DRAMA**

Do you have any idea what it's like when my date news gets out? I think I'm the prime suspect in a murder. Dating seems to be a big sin for someone who works in the entertainment industry, especially I am a young idol. Chris was also affected. Some ads almost decided to cooperate because of the news. I don't understand why anyone's trying to bring us down. I don't know what mistake I ever made with that guy.

I was quite envious to see friends of my age publishing their lovers freely. Although not everyone does, I also want to proudly hold her hand while walking on the banks of the Han River, or maybe just upload the same place on my social media.

I always dreamed of dating my chosen one and then marrying her. I also want to hang a padlock on the fence of Namsan Tower like any other young couple. Can an *entertainer* not feel the sweetness of dating? Already many of them suddenly fall because the word dating is on the sidelines of their news headlines. For a moment I hated the word dating.
