65 Press Tour and Added Publicity (1/2)

\”Wait wait, it's way too early for you to have a heart attack\” I try and calm her down, my voice still not fully adjusted to the morning.

\”So we were caught? I ask trying to get a grip of the situation, \”It's not a big deal to me if our relationship is public. It may affect your life but we can deal with it\”

\”No no no\” She is quick to correct me, \” We weren't caught... You...Were Caught!!\”

\”Hols on a second what do you mean?\” I ask confused

\”Here. Here. Here\” She points excitedly at her phone as I read the title, 'Prince Charming and his real life female lead'

Below the headline, is a picture of me holding a sleeping Won in a princess carry as I put her in the front passenger seat, lovingly tying her seat buckle.

\”Uhm ... Choo. This is not ... what it looks like\”

\”I know.\” She reassures me, \”Besides Unni called and explained everything already\”

\”Unni? Won?\”

She nods her head cutely.

'Thank you, Moon Won. You just saved my life'

\”So this ... is trending? Don't people have something better to do\” I say still fully griping the entire situation.

\”It's not just trending, Oppa. It's ... Everywhere. Chosun, Munhwa, Kookmin, Dispatch. It's everywhere.\”

\”Why are you so excited about my scandal?\” I can't help but ask

She takes a moment eyeing me evilly, \”Because. My dad is definitely going to need an explanation\”

Fear takes over my entire being at that exact moment. As I realise the real big boss is hiding in wait.

This is not going to be an easy morning and it's only 9am!

............

Sitting on a press chair, in a well lit room in silence.

Won and I patiently wait for the next round of promotional interviews to begin.

Typically these PR stuff is dealt with the lead actors but since Sungi is shooting 2 Days 1 Night in Jeju and Hojoo is in South Africa for fashion week.

I was called in by the studio to step in.

Considering my recent scandal, the big bosses in charge thought that Won and I could use the rumors for ratings gold.

The atmosphere is a bit tense as my nervousness is apparent.

Firstly, I've never been interviewed before and Secondly, I've never had a dating scandal with a celebrity before.

'Obviously the reports were denied, but that just added fuel to the fire of K-netizens'.

Well, Let's just hope I don't, pardon my french 'Sh*t the bed*'

Unable to hide my worry, Won notices my ever moving leg, putting her hand on my thigh.

\”Dylan... don't worry.

Just think of it like a normal chat. And I'm here as well. Trust this noona\” she says ever so motherly, always so tenderly.

Lifting my head to face her, I take a proper look at her for the first time this morning.

Her hair is loose, settling around her shoulders perfectly.

Wearing a tantalizing sheer white blouse with a short black and purple plaid skirt, showing off her model like legs.

She embodies what confidence and beauty is.

Paired with a cute baby face and that lovable dimple is unfair to the male psyche.

\”I always do.\” I eventually answer after my feast for the eyes ends.

*Knock Knock*

A female reporter enters, she's wearing a business suit and her hair is tied into a ponytail.

Won recognizes her and whispers into my ear, \”I know her, she's from star-date. They are pretty fun.\”

The female reporter greets enthusiastically, \”Good Morning, how are the two love birds doing today?\”

\”Well apart from that statement not being accurate. I couldn't be better,\” I smile and give Won her turn to speak
