Wow…

Quiet cat (This comment couldn’t be posted due to a lack of funds)

Why is the woman so tall!?

➥They say she’s a model

➥➥Who?

➥➥➥Rumor is it’s a woman he met at Fashion Week

This betrayal is fun…

Acting like a decent young man but already living together lololololol

But the photos look like two different scenes. Are they both the same person? In the first photo, they look like a vagrant, not even wearing their shoes properly

➥If that’s the case, isn’t Baek Sang-hyun treating them too gently?

➥Vagrant? lolololololol Why would he take a vagrant home? Your delusions are on fire lololol

This is so annoying, look at those eyes, he must really like her, damn!!!! Is that what they call melodramatic eyes or something? Even in this shitty quality, those eyes are so clear, fuck!!

He must really like her height and body. The woman looks super skinny just from a glance

➥She’s got some bulk, though

➥➥With that height, it’s unavoidable

➥➥➥For her height, she seems to have some muscle…

➥➥➥➥You crazy bastards are out here body-shaming a regular person

➥➥➥➥➥How do you know if she’s a regular person or not?

Is this photo quality from the 2000s? I can’t even recognize Baek Sang-hyun’s face

➥Must be 100x zoom lololol

Living together is too much!!

Is it really living together? They could just be visiting each other’s homes!

About two hours had passed since Baek Sang-hyun started getting criticized across the entire online community. Seong-woon came back after happily taking a scene with Song Ji-gwang, and shook his head after seeing the crazy reactions. Then he posted a pre-written message on social media.

cherryR: Hello, this is Ryu Chae-yoon.

I have something to explain about  Baek Sang-hyun Sunbae’s dating rumors.

At this point, everyone reading had question marks in their heads. Why on earth was Ryu Chae-yoon explaining about Baek Sang-hyun’s dating rumors?

But after reading what followed, they all felt like they’d been hit on the back of the head.

To get straight to the point, the woman in the photo is me!

Two weeks ago, after the first filming of “Orbit Collision”, I felt I needed more practice, so I asked sunbae if we could practice together at his home. We also studied for school exams together.

The first photo is from when I went to Sunbae’s house, frustrated with my inadequate acting skills. The second scene is from the day I went to take my final exams… If you turn to the next page, you’ll see a photo of me at school wearing the same clothes.

Does this explain the dating rumors? Sunbae said he would explain directly, but he’s very busy filming right now, and I found this situation too amusing, so I decided to explain myself. After all, I am the person involved.

Oh, to think I was suspected of being Sunbae’s girlfriend… My stomach hurts from laughing so much.

Fortunately, our training camp was quite successful, and I received a lot of praise from the director during today’s filming.

The movie is scheduled to open in March, so please look forward to it.

Oh, and if you scroll down, there’s additional content from RBS and the Ryushin Secretary’s Office. Please refer to it^^

After the calm post that treated the dating rumors as nothing more than an amusing episode, there were photos of her at school on exam day and notices of legal action from RBS and the Ryushin Secretary’s Office. All the places that had been eager to criticize Baek Sang-hyun were now completely silenced.

I’m adopting Chae-yoon as my son.

The kid is so smart and cute, wow, to wrap it up so neatly!!

For real, if Baek Sang-hyun had written that, people would’ve demanded evidence, but when Chae-yoon writes it, no one can say anything lolololol The Ryushin Secretary’s Office’s lawsuit notice is a killer lololol

The Ryushin Secretary’s Office once caught 120 malicious commenters before!

➥Are you serious?

➥➥Oh I remember that too, wasn’t it about rumors regarding Ryu Hayoon?

➥➥➥What rumors?

➥➥➥➥There were some crazy people spreading rumors that she doesn’t draw her own pictures and has someone else do it for her, when there was all that fuss about ghost artists. So Ryu Hayoon posted unedited production videos, and the Ryushin Secretary’s Office issued a lawsuit notice…

Chae-yoon, thank you ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

We need to repay Chae-yoon

➥But how? He probably doesn’t need anything…

➥➥Body slam?

But what if Baek Sang-hyun is dating Ryu Chae-yoon?

Baek Sang-hyun’s eyes are too…

Are you crazy

We don’t do that here

Get out, f***

It kinda reminds me of that actor who doesn’t live with his girlfriend but has lived in the apartment above and below another male actor for 20 years lololololololol

Ugh, gross

The gay community is gonna explode lololololololol

Shut up already!!

But honestly, they do look good together…

“Looks like it went well, huh?”

Baek Sang-hyun’s manager, who had been examining the netizens’ response on his tablet for a while, gave a thumbs-up. Hyung-seok also nodded countless times.

The fans’ reactions were better than expected. In fact, Sang-hyun’s dating rumors had blown up so much that Seong-woon’s social media post also had a big impact. The timing was perfect, so it didn’t get buried, and even more articles came out than expected.

There would have been quite a few people who would have considered the agency’s explanation as an excuse and spouted nonsense, but since Ryu Chae-yoon stepped forward as the person involved and provided a perfect explanation, it was like giving Baek Sang-hyun’s fans a club to beat down the malicious commenters. A club to beat and drive away the trolls.

“We also included mentions of ‘Orbit Collision’, so the director will be pleased too. We did add a bit of a lie, but we got permission from the director for that…”

Thanks to including words like acting practice and “Orbit Collision” in the social media post, the director Lee Joonho’s new work was also mentioned in the articles. It was a brilliant advertising tactic that couldn’t be bought for tens of millions.

“Chae-yoon!”

An ill-mannered person burst through the waiting room door. Director Lee Joonho, who was about to embrace Seong-woon, was blocked by Baek Sang-hyun’s arm.

“Sang-hyun, what are you doing?”

“What?”

“I was just going to… hug our lucky charm…”

“Are you calling for the assistant director?”

“Ugh…”

There seemed to be a chilling sound from the waiting room’s tent door, though it shouldn’t have been possible. The assistant director poked his head through the door gap with a demonic expression and grabbed the director by the scruff of his neck, dragging him out.

“You know what happens if filming time increases, right? I’ll have to go to the police station and plead again. And it’s night filming, so the labor costs increase exponentially…”

The assistant director disappeared, dragging the director away while scolding him. He then turned back and shouted at Sang-hyun and Seong-woon.

“You two, stand by in 30 minutes.”

Seong-woon smiled sweetly at the assistant director, who was harsh to the director but kind to the actors, then sat down and drank some strong barley tea. Sang-hyun brought a chair over and sat facing Seong-woon.

“Would you like some barley tea too, sunbae?”

“…No, I’m fine.”

Everyone seemed happy except Baek Sang-hyun, who looked a little down. Despite Sang-hyun’s refusal, Seong-woon poured him a cup of warm barley tea and handed it over. With the manager and stylist out, the waiting room was quiet.

“Your hands must be cold. Hold this even if you don’t drink it.”

Sang-hyun stared at the paper cup Seong-woon offered for a while before taking it with a short sigh. 

‘Why is he sighing like that? What’s bothering him?’

The barley tea helped warm up his chilly body. Even during breaks, wearing hot packs in all his pockets and sticking them all over his body wasn’t enough to keep him warm. There was a heater in the waiting room, but it didn’t help much with the cold air.

“You’re not the type to let acting affect your daily life, right?”

The character Sang-hyun played, Shin Jeong-woo, was a villain. A very gentle, relaxed, and beautiful tone, but black-hearted inside. 

‘Is he feeling down because of that role?’

But Seong-woon remembered working with Sang-hyun before. He was really the type who completely separated acting from real life. Similar to Seong-woon himself.

“Yeah, I don’t let it affect me.”

“Then why…”

“I’m similar to you. I don’t know why I’m angry, and the situation is too funny to show it…”

“I wasn’t like that, though.”

“Yes, you were.”

Sang-hyun just stared quietly at Seong-woon with his chin resting on his hand. He stared so intently that it was hard for Seong-woon to lift his head. Feeling his neck heat up, Seong-woon rubbed it with his palm a few times, and Sang-hyun suddenly grabbed his wrist.

“You’ll chafe your skin.”

“You keep staring so intensely…”

“I can’t help it.”

“…”

“Because I like you.”

“…Didn’t you say you’d do it once instead of ten times?”

“That’s what I’m doing.”

Seong-woon shook his arm to free it from Sang-hyun’s grip. Sang-hyun let go without resistance and continued to stare silently at Seong-woon.

“If you have something to say, say it.”

“Was it that funny to be mistaken for my girlfriend?”

“…What?”

“That’s what you wrote in that post.”

“…Well, it was funny, wasn’t it? I’m over 180cm tall. I don’t know why those reporters firmly believed I was a girlfriend. No matter how I look at myself, I don’t look like a woman…”

“That’s not the important part.”

Sang-hyun pulled up a photo on his phone that Starfile had posted. It was a picture that had surprised Seong-woon, too – a photo of Sang-hyun smiling while looking at Seong-woon.

“This is how I look at you.”

“…”

“Of course, they thought you were my lover. They probably didn’t even consider you might be a man, so they just assumed you were a tall woman in their minds.”

“…”

“I’m just saying.”

Sang-hyun turned off his phone screen and smirked. He tapped Seong-woon’s cheek lightly, downed the now-cold barley tea in one gulp, and stood up.

“Well, shall we go do the acting we’ve been waiting for?”

Seong-woon reflexively took Sang-hyun’s outstretched hand, offered as if to help him up, and looked up dazedly. The reason he had gotten so angry that his vision turned red when he heard about Sang-hyun’s dating rumors, could he be…

Just before leaving the waiting room, Sang-hyun lightly kissed Seong-woon’s lips. Seong-woon, half in a daze, pushed Sang-hyun away a beat late. Sang-hyun didn’t resist and stepped back.

“Think about it more.”

The kiss had barely connected, but its impact was greater than any kiss before.

Unaware that the fake injury drawn on his lips was smudging further, Seong-woon kept biting his lips. He ended up actually bleeding, so the makeup didn’t need to be fixed after all. Sang-hyun looked down at Seong-woon’s bloodied lips for a moment, then clicked his tongue.

“Young master, your lip! It’s bleeding!”

As Seong-woon came out to the filming set with blood smeared on his lips, his manager rushed over and wiped it with gauze from the first aid kit.

“Do you want some medicine on it? What did you do to make your lips like this…”

“It adds realism, doesn’t it?”

“Realism, my foot! You shouldn’t get hurt!”

Seong-woon took his place in a corner of the police station set, wearing a white shirt, black pants, and dress shoes. He took a deep breath as he entered the space where numerous cameras were all focused on him. All the worries, all the anguish, all the… emotions had to disappear for this moment.

As if turning off a switch, Seong-woon shut off all extraneous thoughts and completely changed his mode by closing his eyes for a long moment before opening them again.

Watching Seong-woon without blinking, Sang-hyun’s lips curved in satisfaction. It was a smile that said everything had fallen into place.
