The Kpop Otaku's Dream

"Go? Where to?" I ask as the beauty tries to pull me from my seat

"Where else? To record the song dumbass. My album comes out in 2 months. We need to go to the booth ASAP." She explains

Tiltingmy head, I can't help but suggest, "Do we really have to do it now? I mean can't it just be another day or something. Does it need to be now?"

"YES!" She says forcefully, "It has to be NOW. The sooner it's recorded the sooner we can hype the market. Imagine the tagline. The nation's fairy and the newest nation's boyfriend make a love song for the ages. Can you even imagine the amount of sales!" Green money signs are present in her eyes.

"The nation's boyfriend?" I ask

"You haven't heard?" Hyori smirks as she begins to explain, "You, Mr. Park are a very very big deal. Your drama is number 1 in the country. Your visuals are a mixture of hyun bin and won bin plus with the European flavor makes you in the top %1. Moon Chae-won and you were in a scandal, where she saved your life. A real-lifedrama moment, of the beauty saving the beast. Plus you are also about to be in a variety show with the nation's first love Son Ye-jin!There is a real buzz around you Mr. Golden boy"

Taking the opportunity to tease Irene, I turn to her " Hey Baechu, how does it feel to be dating the nation's boyfriend. I guess I'm a hot commodity. You better take care of me, I'm a national treasure"

Irene chuckles at my sillinessbefore reminding me who's the real boss, "You sure about that? Hmmsince you have so manyfans (she stresses on the last word), you wouldn't mind if let some of my admirers take care of me too right?"

"Admirers? Who are you talking about" My voice gets salty with a mixture of jealousy and anger.

'How could I forget, that she trains at S.M. All those guys are not blind. I better send them a warning so they don't get any ideas' I think menacingly

"Hmmmm... I don't know, who could it be" She says playfully pouting, smiling with her tongue slightly brushing her teeth

"Baechu. If you don't tell me.... I'm going to have to take some drastic steps" I enunciate every word slowly and as clearly as possible so that my threat comes across with the intended effect

"Dylan! What are you thinking of doing?" She asks back clearly worried about my mind is thinking

"Don't worry it's nothing bad. Just thinking that S.M needs a separate division, we need to avoid scandals you know, got to protect my investment you know." I say as if the idea has just 'suddenly' came to mind.

"A separate division?"

"Yeah.....an all-femaledivision.... I think I need to give Hyung a call" I say seriously

"Argh, You are the worst" Irene proclaims with her cute aegyo, "Can't you just react like a normal jealous boyfriend would?" she asks

"Me? Jealous. Pffft never. Why should I be?" I shake my head towards her until our noses are touching.

In our own world, we have completely forgotten our guest again. Who grumps quite loudly once more

"A-hem. That's enough flirting kids. Leave space for Jesus" Hyori comically comments

Laughingly, I pull away noticing Irene has a beet red complexion after Hyori's latest statement.

"Anyway, where were we ?" I straighten myself up as if the previous interaction just hasn't occurred

"We were on our way to the recording studio. Mr. Park"

"Really! Now? I'm like so tired!" I comment like a teenager who doesn't want to do the chores his mother has told him to do.

"You are willing to turn down the chance, to be on MY album?" Hyori asks

"Pretty much, if it means I have to leave the comfort of my home and go to some dingy studio right now" I reply playfully

"What do you mean, dingy studio. It's Mnet Media" She proclaims proudly, "CJ Corporation's, Mnet Media. You know, even the big three put together aren't as big as CJ"

"Hey, that's some company pride you got right there miss Lee. What a loyal employee you are. I thought I read somewhere that you were planning to switch companies"I say fully aware that in November of this year, she has some very choice words to say about them

"How... did.. you?" She looks at me quite confused

"I know a lot of things" I wink

"Anyway, ignoring that. They have made me very wealthy. And I plan to make them as much money as I can, so they let me go in peace." She says resolutely

'Let her go? Something doesn't sound right with that sentence'

Turning to Irene, it seems she picked up on that too. Something's definitely up.
