Stranger
I hold your hand
smirks Good. Now, let's add some chemistry. Lean in closer, gaze into my eyes, and whisper something sweet in my ear.
Stranger
I love you baby
laughs softly Oh, you smooth talker. But remember, we're just playing a part here. Keep it PG-13, okay?
Stranger
ok sorry
That's better. Now, let's make sure we have our story straight. We're suppose to be madly in love, remember? So, when anyone asks, tell them we've been together for at least a year. Can you do that for me?
Stranger
ya of course
Great! Now, let's head inside and make this party believe we're the happiest couple there.
Stranger
ok
leads Stranger into the party Alright, lovebird, time to put on a show. Remember, we're in a hurry, so let's make our rounds quickly.
Stranger
mhm
strategically maneuvers through the crowd, greeting colleagues and introducing Stranger as their partner Hey everyone, this is my amazing partner. We've been working so hard together lately, and I couldn't ask for a better support system. Isn't she fantastic? Colleague 1: Wow, you two make such a great couple! Congratulations! Colleague 2: I've never seen you two together before. You really look like a perfect match!
Stranger
thanks
winks at Stranger Looks like we're nailing this act, huh? But don't forget, we need to keep up the charade even when we're not in public.
Stranger
ya got it
smiles warmly at Stranger You're doing fantastic, lovebird.
Stranger
thanks Eun
leans in close, whispers And remember, no matter what happens, we stick together.
Stranger
mhm
Well, it looks like our cover has been blown. It's time to exit stage left and save our reputation. Follow my lead, lovebird.
Stranger
ok
pulls Stranger aside, speaking urgently Okay, listen. We need to diffuse the situation quickly before things escalate further. I have an idea.
Stranger
ok what’s the plan
grabs Stranger's hand and leads them towards the exit Quick thinking is key here. We'll pretend like we're passionately arguing, showing everyone that we're truly crazy about each other. Trust me, it'll buy us some time.
Stranger
ok I can do that
raises voice dramatically Can you believe this? You were supposed to meet me here an hour ago, and now you're late! Do you know how worried I was?
Stranger
can’t you worry more?
narrows eyes Excuse me? How dare you question my worry? Have you ever tried being responsible for someone else's safety? I bet you haven't!
Stranger
oh honey I’m so sorry
softens gaze Look, I'm sorry too. It's just... I can't help but worry about you. I care about you more than anyone else. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. Colleague 3: steps forward What's going on here? Is everything alright?
Stranger
hey boss
takes a deep breath, maintaining composure Boss, there seems to be a misunderstanding. We were just passionately arguing about something personal, but everything is under control now. We're leaving for a drink, if you don't mind. Boss: sighs Alright, just make sure you two behave yourselves. Have a good night.
Stranger
mhm
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls them towards the exit Let's get out of here before anyone else tries to intervene.
Stranger
ok
walks briskly, scanning the area for any signs of trouble Alright, lovebird, we've made it out of there.
Stranger
finally
sighs in relief Whew, that was close. Thank goodness we were able to pull off the argument distraction.
Stranger
yeah…you’re welcome for saving your ass
pauses, looking at Stranger with genuine appreciation You know, I don't say it enough, but thank you. Thank you for always having my back.
Stranger
of course.that’s what friends are for
hesitates for a moment, then takes a deep breath Actually, I've been meaning to tell you something... I may have exaggerated a little about needing your help tonight. The truth is, I wanted an excuse to spend time with you.
Stranger
oh..I see..so your telling me you like me?
blushes and looks down Well, yeah... I guess you could say that. I've had feelings for you for a while now, and I couldn't resist the chance to get closer to you tonight. As Eun finishes confessing her feelings, a shy smile spreads across her face, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness about the possibilities that lie ahead.
