Chapter 33 Should We Not Get Married?

"You know, some fans are really crazy and feel like they have rights to own their idols; you don't forget that your fiancé is a famous singer, right?" "Maybe this all happened because there are fans who hate you," Ro Woon explained. Iseul seemed to think for a while.
"Yak, don't tell oppa about this; he will worry about me," Iseul said in the end.
   "aigoo... arraseo, I get it, yak! Don't you think you're so outrageous to me? "My ex-fiancee just showed how much she cares for her fiance right now in front of me." Ro Woon said with a sullen face.
 "ah sorry..."Iseul said sticking out her tongue made Ro Woon flick the woman's forehead with his finger.
   "but... Has Claire returned home safely?" Iseul turned the conversation in the other direction.
  "I don't know, why are you asking me? She's your friend," Ro Woon said in a calm tone, but he couldn't hide his flushed face. 
  "Oh my goodness... I know everything, everything! She told me! Hey, congratulations! You're really very quick to move on," Iseul said as she poked Ro Woon's arm with her index finger to tease him. 
"What are you talking about?" Ro Woon seemed nervous.
"I'm so happy that my two close friends have been together now," Iseul said without concern for the man's nervousness.
"Who is together with whom?" Ro Woon still doesn't want to admit his relationship with Claire, which makes Iseul laugh. Even though he tries to be calm and cool to hide his relationship with Claire, Iseul knows everything. Her ex-fiance is in a relationship with her best friend now. 
When Iseul entered her office, she saw that there was a beautiful bouquet of big red roses on her desk. She was surprised to see it but also felt touched; she approached the bouquet and found a note on it.
"You like red roses, right? You once said that the flower is so beautiful, I hope your day becomes more beautiful than this flower. Your lover."
Iseul smiled when she found the note; she knew who the sender of the beautiful flower was. She inhaled the fragrant scent of roses, and the shadow from the man's smiling face began to appear in her mind again.
"How could he possibly remember all the things I ever said?" ask Iseul; she remembers that when they were at university, she once told him about her favorite flowers. She also told him that she would feel very grateful if one day someone would send her a bouquet of roses.
Iseul then put the flowers in a vase on her table and stared at the flowers for a few minutes. She then took her phone and sent a message to Ji Hoon.
"It was a beautiful morning with the beautiful flowers. Thank you, oppaa.."
Iseul then opens her laptop and starts doing her job, but when she opens her email, she finds so much spam from the haters. Shr had never received so much spam before, and this quite annoyed her, but she decided not to think too much about it.
She remembered that her press conference with Ji Hoon had already aired, and she was curious about what people were saying about the conference. She visited the official website of the conference and read some comments from netizens.
"She is a bitch! How could she steal my OPPa?"
   "I heard that Kim Ji Hoon has stolen someone else's fiancee? Oh my God! I never imagined that he was such a meanie!"
"She's not even beautiful; why would Kim Ji Hoon prefer her over Hyori unni?" I hate him so much!"
"What's with all of these bad comments?" Iseul asked herself
"For you who hate this couple, let's join our community in..." Iseul frowned when she found out that people had even created a special group of haters for her and Ji Hoon. Being intrigued, she then joined the community.
She finds so many bad comments about her and Ji Hoon's relationship; they even give her all the bad nicknames, and some of them even want her dead or hope that her and Ji Hoon's relationship won't last forever.
They say that they really hate to imagine that Ji Hoon will marry her in the future. She not only found bad comments about herself but also comments about Ji Hoon; some people said that they were disgusted with him because he had snatched another man's fiancee; some people admitted that they were his fans before but they couldn't accept him anymore when they found out about Ji Hoon's real identity; and they kept condemning him with a lot of scathing comments. 
They say that he is a playboy who has betrayed Hyori for Iseul. They say that they thought Ji Hoon was a good person before, but they think that they were wrong, and they really hate him now. They say that Ji Hoon has betrayed his fans if he marries his fiancee.
Iseul actually received a lot of bad comments about her, but she didn't care at all about it. However, after reading a lot of bad comments about Ji Hoon, she couldn't take it anymore. She joined that community and planned to write down her opinion as well. 
"What's wrong with all of you? Do you know Ji Hoon oppa really well? Who do you dare to say so much bad about him? He's really a good guy!" Iseul sent his opinion, and within a minute, she received a lot of feedback from netizens.
"What's wrong with this girl? Didn't you know that this was a community for the haters of Ji Hoon and his fiancee? Why did you mess things up? Yak! Get out of here! And about that guy, he's not really that great; you're just imagining him! He is a gangster with his monster body; he just scares people to become famous!"
    "Yak stupid! If only you knew, he was actually very rude; he just pretended to be polite and to be a nice guy. I really hate how he smiles shyly when he's surrounded by girls! He is a playboy!"
If you defend him, get out of here!" Admin-nim, please block this fool!"
    "what? Yak! You don't know anything about him!" Iseul shouted at her laptop screen. 
She was just about to answer all those comments, but she had been blocked by the administrator. She strongly condemned the deed and wanted to hit that computer, but she tried to hold herself back.
"They are so funny!" Iseul shouted furiously.
She stood up from her seat and wanted to take some cold water to cool her anger. She came out of her office and saw all the other members in their seats, and her attention was drawn to their conversation.
"It seems like their relationship didn't get a good response from everyone; I hope they will get through this difficulty together," Boem Suk said in concern.
"Ji Hoon's rating dropped immediately within a day; all his fans started to hate Iseul and even left his side.They are very evil," added Suk Chin.
"The fans are scary; do they expect that Ji Hoon Hyung will be forever alone and unmarried? They are very selfish," Si Woo added.
"Ji Hoon Hyung did his best for all his fans, but why did they treat him so badly when he found his love?" Dong Hyun said this incredulously. 
  "Yoon Hee-ah, how is he going? I'm worried about him; he's okay, right? He may look fine on the outside, but his heart may be hurt," Boem Suk told Yoon Hee.
"I don't know yet, but from Gap Jin oppa, I know that this has become a big problem for their company, and I hope it will end soon," said Yoon Hee sadly.
"Oh, unni!" said Yoon Hee, surprised to see Iseul. Iseul only sighed after hearing their conversation; she now felt very worried about Ji Hoon.
   "Iseul-ah... Did Ji Hoon tell you anything about this?" Boem Suk asked
"No. Not yet," said Iseul.
"He is someone who will keep everything to himself and never tell others about anything; I think it's better if you talk to him directly and give him your support," Suk Chin suggested.
"no, I'll do it." Iseul said, then entered her office again.
She takes her phone and receives a message from Ji Hoon.
    "waah... I'm glad that you liked my gift; have a nice day, Iseul-ah, fighting!"
Iseul then decides to call him, and after hearing the waiting tone, she can hear his voice through a phone call.
"Have you missed me?" asked Ji Hoon cheerfully. 
"What are you doing now, oppa?" ask Iseul back.
"I just reached the studio; I have to do the recording now."
"When will you finish?"
"I'm not sure. Well, I have to finish my next album soon; maybe I should be here until the night."
"You work so hard, don't force yourself, Oppa."
    "I'm fine, don't worry..."
After some chitchat, Ji Hoon tells Iseul that he should start his recording immediately and end their phone call. Iseul sighed and then sat down in her chair quietly. The man behaved as if he were okay, but Iseul didn't believe it; she just wished she could meet him soon and in person.
Time goes by, and when her work is done, Iseul plans to visit Ji Hoon's studio. He brought some food so they could enjoy dinner together. She asks Gap Jin where Ji Hoon's studio is and tells him that she wants to give him a sudden visit as a surprise, and Gap Jin sends her an address.
When Iseul reached his studio, she opened the door a little, which was enough to be able to peek at the man. It looks like he just ended his recording; he sat in a chair and looked at his phone. He looks desperate and sad when he reads all the bad comments about him and Iseul; he never knew that people would hate them so much.
"Oppa!" call Iseul into the studio.
     "Oh Iseul, are you here?" Ji Hoon was shocked and tried to hide his phone.
"Let's have a dinner together!" said Iseul, cheerfully showing him the package of food she brought.
Iseul pretended never to see anything and casually sat down beside him and prepared their food. She helps Ji Hoon eat by feeding him directly from her hand. Ji Hoon smiled and spoke as usual, but somehow she knew there was insecurity in his behavior.
"Did you read what the netizens said about us just now?" Iseul asked
"Do you know about that?" asked Ji Hoon worried. Iseul just nodded.
"Are you okay?" asked Ji Hoon again, feeling anxious.
"I'm fine, but I keep thinking about oppa; are you okay with that?" ask Iseul back.
"Well, sure," Ji Hoon replied, smiling.
"Don't lie. I caught your expression when you just read your phone oppa." Iseul said
"I am...I just feel like... I can't protect you well because of me; there are a lot of people who hate you right now. I'm sorry. It's my responsibility to protect you from everything bad that could hurt you, but because of my shortcomings, I can't do well. I'm sorry." Ji Hoon said, Sadly.
"Should we not just get married?" Iseul asked without thinking. 
She just can't bear to see Ji Hoon sad; she is the one who has put the guy in a difficult position, but Ji Hoon instead blames himself about all of that. She just thinks that her presence doesn't have a good impact on his life.
