.....

In my room, I had just taken a bath when the phone suddenly rang.

Calling me so early, it could only be Yuri.

”Hey, Dylan… were you still sleeping?” The old lass asked with a tinge of excitement.

Sat on the bed drying my wet hair with a towel, I answer ” No, Just showered, something good happen?”

”Guess?”

”Oh, I know you must be pregnant, don't worry. I'll take responsibility” I quip

”Bah, as if. You are ten years too early to even dream about that” She follows up ” Front page of the National News paper. Your episode last night wasn't just in the entertainment section! It is Everywhere”

Dread fills my body as I know I won't be able to escape the wrath of Hora, once she gets wind of it.

”About what ?” I question obliviously

”Huh, you and Kim Tae. Kissed on National TV! The newspapers are calling you Korea's greatest thief, let alone the comments section on Naver. Its been trending number 1 for the past 12 hours”

”Noona.. While I'm happy and all. Can't you be a bit more concerned about your actor here. I might not get to live past tomorrow! Choo's going to kill me”

”Well … in accordance with the old mantra of karma. ”You get what you deserve” You lived a long enough life. Make sure to add me to your will”

”Noona!!”

”I'm kidding, I'm kidding. It's just work. Choo Bae will understand. Anyway, they requested a statement, from our side. How should we respond?”

”It's none of our business. So Dylan has yet to confirm or something along the lines of 'because it is the artist's private life, it is difficult to confirm'”

”Are you serious? That's not an answer”

”It's fine it will work… rather than stay silent like last time, this was on public television, we will give them a respond to rile them up. As Kanye says we'll get the going gorrillas”

”What does that even mean?”

”No one does, but its provocative. Get's the people going!”

”Whatever, you're the boss. I'm off to give a media statement though . Try and stay alive my cash cow!”

And with that she ends the call unceremoniously.

Seeing how Hora is busying herself with breakfast, I decide to scroll through the comments section of the uploaded clip by SKBS – they certainly are doing a heck of a job at promotion.

Like Yuri said, the video is number 1 on the real time search results, with a healthy viewership of 1,5 million. The only strange thing about it, the dislike ratio has already reached 2 million, I guess all the men in Korea have set their mind in stone.

Great! I just became the most hated man in Korea overnight.

Reading through the comments, I pick out a few notable ones, finding myself amused at the creativity. I'm even more surprised that while most are in Korean, quite a number are in Thai, mandarin, Japanese and even English.

[Pear: I just soiled myself TT TT TT . JUST PLEASE MARRY EACH OTHER]

[Ita YOO: ”Let's stop before we do something really bad!” AAAh I'm dying Dylan, take me!”

[Lost in Sakura's eyes: I need some air, fans herself, their chemi is from another world. Real life drama couple]

The comments continue their delusional rampage for few more pages before I finally get bored, tossing it to my side as I look up at the ceiling.

Rolling off the bed and stepping into the lounge, I smell the scent of freshly fried eggd. Kimchi. Mushrooms and ginger.
