Wasn't planning on updating this weekend since I’m in a middle of a DOS chapter but this is a special one for Boomboombebe - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! VIRAL LOVE Chapter 4 : SHIP Yoo Si-jin. So that's who he is, Mo-yeon silently thinks to herself as she munches on her sandwich. Ji-soo had went down to the coffee shop downstairs and got them some food for lunch since it’s already way past afternoon. Her mind flashes back to when he had asked her if she knew him, looking skeptical when she honestly professed that she had no idea. She scrunches her face, groaning silently to herself. It all makes sense now haish….such a mess. What even is today? Ja-Ae Eonnie is looking at her carefully, her motherly face concern as she tries to get Mo-yeon's attention. "Gwenchanayo, Mo-yeon Ah?" She forces herself to smile at her. "Gwenchanayo, Eonnie. Today is just overwhelming, I guess." Ji-soo is still busy scrolling down her phone and sighs sympathetically at her reply, and Mo-yeon puts her head on her best friend's shoulder, sighing along with her. "But I still can’t believe you didn't know how Yoo Si-jin looks like, haish jinjja.” "How was I suppose to know? You know I don't care much about sports." "But he's super duper famous! Like he's on every other billboard promoting this and that. Remember when I told you about that rumor that he might be courted by Arsenal? That's a huge deal Mo-yeon!" She mutters lowly to herself. "No wonder he looked like he couldn't believe I didn’t hound him for an autograph." Both her manager and best friend burst into laughter. Ji-soo punches her arm and she whines in protest. “That hurts!” “But Mo-yeon Ah, he’s really handsome, isn’t he? I mean, looking at these pictures, I could see why people think you guys are a couple,” Ji-soo’s eyes turn wide as she teases her friend, “Oooh maybe you should consider dating him for real.” Her heart skips a beat at that and she is about to reply in the negative but Eonnie beats her to it, her face suddenly turning serious. She is the closest Mo-yeon has for a mother figure, and she is very protective of her, her idiot husband and his blustering way of ‘accidentally’ sharing Mo-yeon's video to the world notwithstanding. "But seriously, Mo-yeon. Do you want to issue a denial? We can do that if you want." Mo-yeon stares at the faces of the two women who matter the most to her, contemplating the question. --- "Okay, I'm here now! What? What is it that is so urgent?" Si-jin walks straight into the bookstore and approaches the two lovers sitting at the sofa near the counter without any other preambles. He has seen the ‘CLOSED’ sign that Myeong-joo had hung on the bookshop’s door. Something serious is going on. Myeong-joo never closes her store unless it’s an emergency. The two lovebirds look up at the footballer, totally surprised by his sudden entrance. They were too absorbed looking at his news on the internet. Si-jin's face suddenly pales as he watches them. "…Don’t tell me, you're pregnant?" He looks at his manager, anger bubbling out of him at the moment. "I'll kill you, man." Myeong-joo snorts as her boyfriend stammers in panic. "We never even go beyond holding hands, you idiot. And don’t worry about me. What about you?' "What are you babbling about, seriously? Have all these years burying your face in old books gone to your brain finally?” "Yaah! This!" She exclaims, pushing her MacBook’s screen to his direction. There on the full screen is a candid picture of him. His eyes widen with surprise. And her. The beautiful girl who had no idea who he is. It looks more intimate than it was, him leaning into her personal space and whispering to her ear. It was zoomed in and the picture didn’t show how they were in the middle of a coffee shop entrance, and that they had iced coffee spilled all over them. He frowns. "So they took a picture and uploaded it on the net. So what? It'll blow over soon." "Seriously? It'll ‘blow over’?" Myeong-joo looks almost pissed at him for some reason, while his manager watches him like he's an idiot. "It's all over Naver and other SNS you ! You have shipping name now! People are making manips of you guys! And I can’t believe you never told us you have a girlfriend! And her of all the people in the world Si-jin? You know I love her! I didn’t even know you knew her!" What the heck.... "Haish she isn’t my girlfriend! It was an accident! I didn’t look where I was going so I bumped into this girl going the opposite way and we both got soaked with her coffee. Wait…what do you mean you love her?" Myeong-joo and Dae-young blink at his reply before they silently look at each other in disbelieve. Myeong-joo turns back at him, a sudden realization coming to her eyes. "You idiot, you don't know who she is?" He blinks, caught off-guard by the question. Wait. "....She's famous?" Dae-young sighs, muttering something like “Of course he doesn’t know.” under his breath w
