Junsu opens his eyes to find the top model and actor staring in their direction while Hyuk Soo is frozen in place. As a man with good manners, he gently pushes So Eun away from him, feeling awkward about being watched while kissing his girlfriend in public.
So Eun is looking at Junsu with a puzzled expression when he pushes her and breaks their kiss. That man is staring at someone behind her. She follows her gaze and discovers Hyuk Soo staring at them with a death glare. When she saw him, her face hardened.
The top model and actor can't stand still when the couple is staring at him like that. He has the impression that he is an intruder. He approached them slowly and steadily, passing the couple. He continues to walk away without looking back. He has to accept that she now belongs to someone else and not him.
When Hyuk Soo walks past her without saying anything or even looking at her, she feels relieved but also burdened. She's relieved that Junsu doesn't need to know about her previous relationship with Hyuk Soo on that particular occasion, but she's troubled by Hyuk Soo's cold demeanor. Somehow, It hurt her deeply when the man treated her as if she were a stranger. But perhaps everything is for the best.
So Eun gets up early the following morning. Her previous drama with Junsu is already finished and popular. She doesn't have much to do today, but she chose to get up earlier to prepare a lunch box for Junsu.
The singer and actor informed her that he would be on tour for a week starting today. Junsu would leave early in the morning and fly for hours to Japan for his live performance. As a result, So Eun wishes to create something special to accompany him on his journey. She decides to make him a special meal.
So Eun wants to make a complete healthy and tasty food for Junsu, so she prepares all the best ingredients for him. She has never been a good cook, but she wants to do her best for her special person's lunch box. So Eun is doing her best to make the meal not only edible but also visually appealing.
She takes a bath and puts on light make-up after she finishes her meal. She wants to show off her flawless image before the boyfriend leaves in the hopes of cheering him up even more. She exits her apartment and walks about five steps away from her door when everything is ready. She comes to a halt in front of the next door and rings the doorbell.
Junsu appears in front of his door after a while, his eyes brightening as he notices his girlfriend standing so beautifully in front of his apartment. He can't get enough of her beautiful smile.
"Good morning, have you finished your preparation?" So Eun, in a sweet tone, asks him.
"Yes, I'm going now," the man says as he strokes her hair and kisses her on the cheek.
"I'm going to miss you so much, So Eun-ah... How I wish I didn't have to go" Junsu pulls her body into his embrace and doesn't want to part ways with her.
"Don't say anything like that because your fan will be disappointed. Even though we are separated by distance, I will always cheer for you." So Eun speaks softly and slowly pushes him away. She does not want Junsu to be late for his flight or to miss it.
"I pack a lunch for you so that you will remember me when you are alone. Maybe it won't taste very good... but I've set my heart on making these." So Eun gives Junsu the lunch box she made especially for him.
"Did you prepare it for me?" The man can't believe it, he is so moved by her thoughtfulness. He adores her! He is overjoyed and thanks her with a hug. He seemed to be unable to get enough of her.
"Regrettably, I must depart... I'll contact you later "Junsu tells her, with a sad expression, that he does not want to leave her alone. His charming behavior makes the girl laugh. She gently pushed his body aside so Junsu could walk to the airport. He can't afford to waste time there. They said their goodbyes in a lovely way.
So Eun intends to spend her break today relaxing and reading books she recently purchased while enjoying some snacks and a delicious drink. When it was time for lunch, So Eun received a video call from Junsu. He has already arrived at the hotel and is resting. The singer also appeared to her on a table piled high with food, the lunch she had prepared especially for him.
"How is your flight going? Do you intend to eat your lunch now?" So Eun inquires when Junsu appears on her phone's screen.
"Yes, I am enjoying the meal; thank you very much. So Eun-ah... What shall I do? I already miss you terribly." Junsu is always open about his feelings for her, not only through his words but also through his actions. There is never a time when she doubts his love for her.
"I miss you, too," she admits openly.
"Should I return to Seoul?" Junsu asks her a playful question, and she immediately tells him to stop being silly, even though she doesn't mind.
"So Eun-ah... You're aware of our drama's popularity, right? Since the drama, there have also been some fans of us as a couple..." Junsu tries to speak carefully about it. So Eun isn't sure where the conversation is going, so she just sits there and waits for him to continue.
"During my live performance, there would also be an interview... So... If by chance... I just mentioned it as a possibility... Can I tell them the truth if they ask about our real relationship? That we're in a relationship?" He's not sure if So Eun would agree with him on this.
To be honest, he has wanted to tell the world that they are dating since the first time they were together. However, living as a celebrity is not easy. There will be those who oppose whatever they do or who they are with. He doesn't want So Eun to be hated by his fans for dating him.
So Eun is remaining silent because she is well aware of the possibility of being despised by a large number of people when she does something as a celebrity. She doesn't want to keep their relationship a secret for the rest of her life. But she never considers to make it public so quickly like this before. Her silence makes the singer inconvenient. He is concerned that his request will come back to bite her.
"But, if you're not ready for it... Let's keep it a secret for now. You are not required to be burdened by what I just said." Junsu quickly retracts what he said, fearing that So Eun would be offended.
"You are welcome to tell them about our relationship..." So, in the end, So Eun speaks up. Her words catch him off guard. He expected her slow response to indicate rejection, but So Eun has agreed to make their relationship public. It makes Junsu extremely happy. He can't stop smiling, and because he can't say anything, he makes So Eun do nothing but smile with him.
The Next Day at So Eun's agency
"Is this true, So Eun-ssi? Do you have a real relationship with Junsu?" Her manager dashed into the office and immediately interacted with So Eun.
Last night, during Junsu's interview in Japan, he revealed that he is currently dating his co-star from his previous drama, So Eun. He does not specify So Eun's name, but his statement is enough for everyone to conclude that his girlfriend is Han So Eun. That is why So Eun has been summoned to her agency office.
"Sorry for the uproar, but that's right, we're dating now," the actress reveals the truth, leaving the manager speechless. She could never have predicted it.
"Well done, but when did you start dating him?" The manager is still interested in this.
"What, two months? Yes, it's been two months "So Eun informs her.
"Anyway, because the two of you have decided to go public, both our agency and Junsu's agency are required to make an official statement about your relationship with him. I will contact them as soon as possible
"The manager went into professional mode."I need your assistance..." So Eun says politely and bows to her, regretting that she may have caused trouble for both her manager and her agency.
The two sides of their agency have issued an official statement about their dating. As soon as the news is made public, it goes viral. So Eun received a wide range of responses from netizens all over the world, with some even leaving comments on her personal SNS and stalking her previous old posts. Her fan base is rapidly growing.
But, as predicted, the news does not only elicit a positive response from everyone; there are also many haters who leave a negative comment on her SNS. She doesn't really care about it anyway; she doesn't want to acknowledge everything people say about her. She simply wishes to live her life as she pleases.
Her doorbell rings that night, just as she is about to fall asleep. She is curious about who is coming to see her at this hour, and she is slightly concerned. What if one of her detractors discovers her address and decides to visit her? She cautiously approaches the CCTV door to check on her visitors, but she finds no one there.
"Is anyone there?" She inquires cautiously; there is no response. It makes So Eun more vigilant, and she begins to feel afraid.
"It's me, So Eun-ah," a man's voice says through the speaker. Hearing the voice makes her hardened face soften, and her bright smile emerges. So, with a happy feeling, she opened her door. Lee Junsu, a charming man standing tall in front of her door, greets her.
"Junsu-ah!!" She leaps into his embrace, missing him terribly. The two of them rush into So Eun's apartment."I read every response on your SNS, I'm sorry, you must be having a hard time because of me, right?" Junsu is looking at So Eun with significant concern and consideration. He feels bad because haters continue to bombard her SNS with villainous comments, despite the fact that he has received just as many as she has.
"What the haters said doesn't matter to me. W e still have a lot of fans anyway. Furthermore, you're here now, so I don't feel like I'm having any difficulties." So Eun beams brightly because Junsu has returned from his journey. They would spend a lot of time together again.
The singer is happy by her words, he pull her into his embrace again and carefully inhaling her sweet secent. He miss her a lot. That night, Junsu spend his night at So Eun's apartement. They are sharing a lot of story the missed for a week from each other while laying beside each other on the bed.
So Eun is now working at her agency. The manager informs her that she has received an offer to play the female lead in a drama. It is the first time she has received such an offer; previously, she had only received offers as a supporting actress. The drama could be her big break into becoming a bigger actress.
"The genre is action drama with a fictional background; you may have the opportunity to travel around the world during the background set required for the drama. The plot is also very intriguing. It would be a fantastic opportunity for your career "The manager informs her actress.
So Eun carefully read the drama script; she is very interested in being a part of this drama. She is always curious and willing to participate in a drama with an action background. She believes that she must take the risk.
"The actor who will play the male lead is also a big star; because of his extensibility, he has become the center of attention for everyone in the industry. I am confident you can learn a lot from him. I'm sure you've seen him at an award ceremony before "The manager continues.
"Oh, you're serious? What is his name?" The actress can't keep her curiosity at bay any longer. She aspires to learn directly from someone as accomplished as him. It will be a fantastic experience for her.
"Lee Hyuk Soo," but that name leaves her speechless.
