"Wait wait what do you mean?" I stammer, now fully awake as my heart has jumped out of my chest."We...Were Caught?" I ask, "By who? Chosun? Munhwa? Kookmin? Dispatch?"
Who would have thought I"d have my first scandal so soon! I wasn"t even recognised yesterday!
Isn"t it obvious my popularity hasn"t reached the mainstream yet. Why am I being ruined before I"ve even began!
Irene is pale faced and wide eyed as she answers softly, "No...."
"Then who!" I press for an answer.
"Sajangnim (Boss)"
"Ahh the boss. Hmmm what publication is that?"
"Lee soo-man sunsengnim"
"Ahh Lee soo-man"s newspaper."
Irene shakes her head vigorously, "No no no, not a newspaper. It was him. He saw us at the restaurant"
"And? So what if he saw us, he wouldn"t know all the trainees now would he?" I might be missing something but i don"t see what the big problem is as of yet.
"No, but his niece knows you"
"His niece?"
"Sunny-unni"
"Snsd Sunny? what of it?"
Irene just gives me a look to just shut up and listen and that is what I do as I listen to her explain the sequence of unfortunate coincidences, "So.... when we went to dinner, so did sajangnim and his family which included Sunny unni who was with. Sunny-unni saw you and took a picture from far to send to Yoonunni and the rest of the SNSD unnies. Apparently you made quite the impression on Yoonunni so she was bragging alot.." She stresses this last sentence. I know what she"s implying.
"And?"
"And. SNSD shared the picture of you with people in the company. Under the tag, Prince on a date. It"s all over the company boards. Eventually, people who know me in the trainee department saw it and NOW I"M BEING CALLED IN FOR A MEETING" She looks worried.
What a convoluted plot explanation author-nim.
"d.a.m.n me! Curse me and my good-looks!
I chuckle a bit after hearing about this series of unfortunate events. Throwing off the covers I make my way over to Irene.
Ruffling her hair a bit, I say "Don"t worry your pretty little head. I"ll sort this out. Also there"s nothing in the fridge so you can order breakfast"
I make my way to the shower and I hear her ask, "Can you really fix this?"
Turning to her, "Do you trust me?" I ask
Not taking a moment to contemplate she answers, "Of course"
"Then that"s your answer..." I smile. "Oh and if you are kicked out from your company. You can just join mine. I know the CEO ;) his got a thing for girls named Joohyun"
She throws me with a pillow, "As if! I will sue you for s.e.xual harra.s.sment"
Before entering the shower I make a quick call to a girl group member, "Hey, Yoona. Sorry for calling so early, but can you do me a favor I need to see your boss"
"Dylan! Hi... So it was you in the picture. Is it true that girl is a trainee?"
"Yoona, I"ll tell you all about that later. SO about your boss can you arrange it?"
"No problem. Meet me in 30 at Apgeujung"
After taking a shower and getting dressed, I give Irene a quick peck on the cheek as she offers me coffee. Even though she hates hates it"s taste she knows I can"t function without it.
"I"m off! Don"t worry, I"ll call you when I"m done"
....
Pulling up in front of this 4 storied, weirdly rectangular shaped building with gla.s.s entrance. I spot a pretty faced girl waving her hands to get my attention.
Yoona"s not wearing much makeup today so she looks really fresh. She is wearing a long white poncho and a pair a denim jeans. If I were to describe how she looks the only description I could come up with is "Innocently s.e.xy"
"Morning Yoona" I smile
"Morning mr. Casenova. Who would have taken you for the romantic type. You even made a reservation at a french restaurant"
"Enough of that, you going to let me in"
She laughs and leads me in. Thereafter I follow behind her as we make our way to the ellevators.
"Yoonssi" I hear a voice greet.
"Ah Director!"
Looking towards who she is greeting. I notice the presence of the person she just called director. It"s Kwon Bo-Ah. BoA. The kpop legend. She has a really good-looking face, her eye"s are really beautiful. Even for SM"s beauty standards she"s in the upper echelon. She looks really proffessional, no hint of the global superstar. With a black blazer worn over a dark blue dress paired with a strapped heel shoe. She would fit into any office drama.
"Yoona, where you going!?"
"To seonsaengnim"s (Teacher) office"
"Abuji? (Father?) Why?" (SM artists have a habbit of calling LEE soo-man either teacher or father)
She looks to me , and I take that as my cue, "Hi , I"m Dylan Park. I have something urgent to share"
BoA returns my bow, after a second she offers me a compliment (I think), "Nice to meet you. I"m kwon Bo-ah.. wow, your visuals are no joke!"
Pressing on she asks, "So what do you need to tell Father?"
"Uhm It"s kinda personal"
"Ooooh"
She nods her head, then looks at Yoona again whose demure as always before looking back at me. I can she her mind running.
I just smile and wait for her to dismiss us.
Mentally she"s trying to put 2 + 2 together,I guess. I just hope she doesn"t jump to any conclusions.
As if on cue, I see the sudden thought forming in her mind. She pulls Yoona away from me, and starts speaking to her, loudly enough that I can hear her ask.
"Yoona.... ARE YOU PREGNANT!?"
