“Okay, now I have a few questions for both of you. In this internet-savvy world, it’s basic for the backgrounds and pasts of the participants to get somewhat dug up before they go on air. To avoid any unforeseen issues.”
Juhan and Eunsu looked at the questionnaire-like paper and simultaneously made incredulous faces.
“If you’ve caused any trouble in the past, spill it now. We need to know if it’s something we can manage if it comes out after the broadcast.”
“Really, all this…”
“Since we know about each other’s adulthood, but not much about high school days. No issues, right? Ever smoked or drank as a minor?”
“No.”
“School days were smooth, right?”
“I did okay in studies and never caused trouble.”
Juhan confidently answered. Eunsu, not to be outdone, held her chin up high.
“Same for me.”
She then sneakily added.
“But what about the black history created after drinking too much as an adult?”
“Other than the ones I know of, anything else?”
Eunsu thought for a moment, then shook her head.
“No. Now that I think about it, you witnessed all of them.”
“That’s fine then.”
Solhee checked a few more things and then looked up.
“This is really important. Ever been involved in school violence?”
“No.”
“No.”
Juhan and Eunsu simultaneously shook their heads. Juhan, having glanced at Eunsu, seemed to ponder something before speaking.
“But…”
“Hm? What?”
Solhee asked.
Juhan looked at Eunsu again. As their eyes met, Eunsu almost imperceptibly shook her head. Juhan promptly responded.
“Nothing, nothing.”
“Next up, any chance of pictures with ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends circulating online?”
Silence fell momentarily. Solhee cleared her throat.
“Cough. Well, unless you’re both planning a joint suicide, you should be careful…”
Eunsu scoffed loudly.
“Why do you assume there’s only one ex-boyfriend?”
The paper in Juhan’s hand tensed imperceptibly. Solhee replied.
“I don’t care if it’s one or a hundred. Is there anyone among them who could become a scandal if revealed? Like, if they’re now a famous celebrity.”
“Nothing like that.”
“Any nasty break-ups where someone might spread rumors about Seon Eunsu?”
“Shouldn’t be…”
Eunsu’s wavering eyes fleetingly shifted towards Juhan before quickly turning away.
“That’s enough. Any embarrassing social media posts, comments, or photos that could cause outrage?”
“No, none.”
“Still, just in case, it’s better to thoroughly check and clean up everything beforehand.”
After a thorough screening, Solhee spoke in a lowered voice.
“So, when are we going to say it started?”
“Say what?”
“Let’s be honest, you two were quite the famous campus couple, right? I remember there was some murmuring among classmates when you supposedly broke up after graduation.”
“…….”
“We should say you actually broke up back then, to avoid any gossip among the alumni, and then got back together later.”
It was a matter that required precise coordination, but Eunsu hesitated to be proactive. Noticing Eunsu’s hesitation, Juhan spoke up.
“We naturally got back together while working, and it’s been about a year.”
“That sounds good. But we need an exact date and a story. Who confessed when and where, and then some evidence of the relationship… Do you want me to write a script?”
“No, we’ll just figure something out between us.”
Juhan looked at Eunsu for confirmation, and she silently nodded.
“Alright, I’ll send you a file by email later. It’s for the pre-interview questions for the participants. Take a look at it in advance and get your stories straight.”
“Okay.”
“Also, let the staff know in advance. Once shooting starts, they’ll inevitably be involved, so I’ll ask for their cooperation later. If anyone is uncomfortable with appearing on the show, let me know. And remember to keep the embargo until I say it’s okay to talk.”
Solhee got up to leave, saying she would be in touch. Juhan and Eunsu followed her down to the showroom.
“Drive safely.”
“Sure, I’ll be in touch.”
After Solhee left, only the two of them remained at the entrance. There was a subtly awkward air between them.
Eunsu looked around and asked,
“When should we tell the staff?”
“In a few days, let’s do it during a staff dinner.”
“Alright. Maybe some drinks will help…”
“Before that, you and I need to talk.”
Juhan said this while looking at Eunsu with a peculiar expression. Eunsu, finding it hard to meet his gaze, looked away and replied,
“Yeah… sure.”
“Then let’s go out for dinner after work today.”
“Today?”
“If not today, then tomorrow.”
“No, let’s just do it today.”
Determined to deal with the inevitable, Eunsu was about to go inside when she suddenly remembered something.
“But, Juhan.”
“What?”
“Why did you suddenly agree to do it? You were so against it.”
Juhan answered as if he had anticipated the question.
“I didn’t want to hand over a nearly-done deal to Moem.”
Relieved by his response, Eunsu seemed somewhat comforted. Juhan inwardly smirked bitterly.
“Anyway, the ultimate goal is to make Vida more known and successful. That’s all I want to focus on.”
Muttering almost to herself, Eunsu went inside first.
Left alone, Juhan crossed his arms and sank into thought.
When Eunsu had suggested just doing it, he was truly baffled. It felt almost like a betrayal.
‘You should hate this too, how can you agree?’
Despite what Solhee might have said, Eunsu’s willingness to change her mind implied that her past romantic involvement meant little. This realization felt not just disappointing, but downright miserable.
‘Again, only I’m being pathetic. Sorry for not being cool… But why am I sorry? I’m not sorry for being not sorry.’
He tried to calm his boiling emotions alone, unaware that his thoughts had been overheard.
