유여주

I'm screwed

_300 missed calls, 60 DMs, 600+ KakaoTalk messages

_Park Woo-jin 40 phone calls

전웅

Yoo Yeo-ju, I can't go out today. The articles are all out.

유여주

When did you come?

전웅

just now.

전웅

I got a call from Woojin. It's raining today so there's no filming, so I'll see you tomorrow.

전웅

So I turned off my phone notifications.

유여주

What should I do...

전웅

Just call Woojin.

-🎶

_I don't have to do it.

유여주

-hello.

박우진

-Let's meet today. I'll pick you up.

유여주

-Oh, it's annoying.

박우진

-Is there anything bothering you in this situation?

박우진

-It's in front of your house, so just come down.

-Ttuk

_He still just says what he wants to say and hangs up.

유여주

I'll be back.

전웅

Okay, don't be late.

유여주

hey-

유여주

Where are you going? You drive all the way to the city, wearing a mask and a hat.

박우진

Don't forget our concept, we're dating.

박우진

I'm going to a press conference.

유여주

What? I didn't even put on makeup.

박우진

You don't do that originally.

유여주

Don't apply tint...

유여주

You're handsome... I don't think you look pretty.

박우진

It's pretty.

유여주

uh?

박우진

You're pretty. When you first went out for an interview, there was an article saying you were pretty. Don't be discouraged.

박우진

So stop talking nonsense and just stick close, you're going to get soaked.

박우진

Even though I told you to come out roughly, why don't you bring an umbrella in this rainy season?

유여주

...Over there?

_In front of Woojin's agency, there were dozens, if not hundreds, of reporters lined up.

박우진

I think that's right.

+

Aren't those Park Woojin and Yoo Yeoju??!!??

_Reporters are running like crazy when they see us.

_My head is spinning with countless questions and flashes.

유여주

ah..

_Since my work environment is only at home, I think I developed a disease like social phobia without anyone knowing.

박우진

Are you okay?

_I thought it would be hard like this, so I just said it.

유여주

I'll admit to the dating rumors!!

_I let go of Woojin's hand only after arriving at an alley whose name I didn't even know.

유여주

Haa..haa..

_When I was catching my breath

-side

_Woojin grabbed both of her cheeks and kissed her.

유여주

hey!!!!!

박우진

Why, author?

박우진

You admitted to the dating rumors.

_I'm going crazy.

유여주

No, I'm just saying you should just 'pretend' to be dating.

박우진

You hate me?

_I got angry for no reason because I remembered last night.

유여주

No, can't you just not do that?

유여주

If you keep on messing with people's hearts like that, you'll end up throwing them in the gutter.

유여주

Don't give it to me.

_Despite the serious expression, Woojin asked back instead of being surprised.

박우진

Then do you like me?

유여주

Oh my gosh!!!!

_I was tired of getting even angrier, so I sat down.

박우진

Wow, reporters are fast.

박우진

/Writer Yoo Yeo-ju shouted in front of reporters in the rain, “I admit to the dating rumors!” and ran off somewhere holding idol Woojin’s hand.

박우진

How can an article come out in less than 5 minutes? lol

유여주

Oh, don't laugh..

_While Woojin was playing around, suddenly,

유여주

My friend is like this.

_I never had any friends.

_Woong felt like family and Jihoon was always more mature than me.

박우진

What are you talking about?

박우진

Are you my lover?

유여주

Oh really, you won't stop??

_I was angry at Woojin's prank, so I turned my back on him and walked alone along the street where the rain had stopped.

박우진

Hey, are you mad?

_He walks leisurely, putting his hands in his pockets, leaving Woojin, who often follows him at a leisurely pace, behind.

박우진

Cafe... why? Why did this incident happen?

유여주

If you're going to show it, show it properly. This is secretly making me feel a bit awkward.

박우진

There was one more thing on the real-time search list besides us.

박우진

'fox'

유여주

what?

박우진

I heard that seven cows were found dead in the countryside. It's been about two years, but no matter how much I searched, nothing came of it.

박우진

So, he had no choice but to call 10 shamans and ask them.

박우진

But they all said it was a 'fox' thing.

유여주

...

박우진

My fate...maybe it's this 'fox'.

유여주

..Isn't that kind of thing a bit..gross?

유여주

Hiding among humans and harassing them. And then going back to hiding as if nothing happened.

박우진

hmm...

박우진

Yeah-

_Before Woojin could even begin to speak, the sound of shutters could be heard here and there.

+

I'm a fan of the author..

+

Woojin oppa, can I have your autograph?

+

Can I take a picture?

+

Are you two really dating?

+

Sister, you're even prettier in person!

_After granting all the cute requests and raising my glass again

박지훈

Yoo Yeo-ju. Park Woo-jin.

박우진

Park Ji-hoon?

유여주

why.

박지훈

Is that you who was featured in the article this time?

_I knew it right away.

_'article'

_This is not about dating rumors.

박지훈

It was really great.

박지훈

That's amazing lol

_Ji-hoon smiled, tapped my shoulder twice, and sat down at another table to chat with his group.

박우진

What's wrong with him?

박우진

Have you been in touch?

유여주

To be exact, there was nothing I could do about it.

유여주

Are you coming here on purpose? If that's the case, then stop.

박지훈

why?

유여주

It's secretly stressful.

유여주

I'll figure it out with Woojin from now on.

박지훈

There's nothing we can do. Neither you nor I.

유여주

under...

유여주

Park Ji-hoon, you can't just kill that thing...

박우진

What happened?

유여주

It was there... It was there...

_The only thought that kept running through my head was how I hated Ji-hoon, who would just keep saying strange things like "hints" every day and then leave.

유여주

That fox...

유여주

What happens to us when we meet that fox?

박우진

....I should ask her to write an article about our breakup.

_Are you thinking of giving up on me again?
