Celebrity Romance

The streets of Seoul were crowded and loud, filled with people rushing to work and the distant sound of traffic and music from nearby shops. Eun-hee hurried through the crowd, holding her bag tightly while checking the time on her phone. She was already late and her boss hated when she arrived after opening time at the café. Without paying attention to the people around her, she turned a corner too quickly and suddenly crashed straight into someone. The impact made her stumble and nearly drop everything she was carrying. “I’m so sorry!” Eun-hee said quickly, bowing out of habit as she picked up her bag. The man she had bumped into was tall and dressed in black, wearing a cap and a mask that covered most of his face. For a moment he didn’t say anything, but then he helped her pick up the things that had fallen. “It’s okay,” he said softly. His voice sounded strangely familiar. Eun-hee looked up at him, confused, and their eyes met. Something about those eyes made her freeze. She had seen them somewhere before. The man hesitated for a second and slowly pulled his mask down just enough to speak more clearly. In that moment Eun-hee felt her heart stop. Standing in front of her was Hyun-woo, the famous singer from one of the most popular boygroups in the country. His songs played everywhere and millions of fans adored him. Eun-hee stared at him in complete shock, her mind struggling to understand what was happening. “You’re… Hyun-woo,” she whispered. He gave a small, slightly nervous smile and glanced around the street as if hoping no one else had noticed. “Please keep it quiet,” he said gently. “I was just trying to take a short walk.” Eun-hee nodded quickly, still speechless. Hyun-woo handed her the last thing she had dropped and their fingers brushed for a brief second. It was such a small moment, yet it made Eun-hee’s heart beat faster. “You should be more careful when you run,” he said with a playful smile.
