She looks like the maknae/youngest scriptwriter of a variety show program.

YJM, who made a guest appearance and was famous, met her for the first time that day and had her eyes on MJ, but MJ was from a 아방수 au so she's the only one that doesn't know.

*아방 (ah-bang) is shorten term from 아방하다/아방가르드하다(dialect) which basically means someone who is foolish/slow-witted, naive, cute, and makes you want to protect them. So, adding 수 (Su) means it applies to the sub/bottom. This is a very, very common stereotype in BL novels/manga/etc. 

=

Do famous actresses usually privately contact the youngest scriptwriter like this?
I guess Actress Yu is just really kind. 
There seemed to be a lot of controversies over her personality, but as expected, being a celebrity is a difficult job.
Wow, I'm following Actress Yu on instagram and she's following me.
I've never seen this account so it must be a private account.
All celebrities must have a private account.
But I only post stories. 

=

All she does is upload to her story once in a while but the content of those stories are

It's hot 
The guest we recruited didn't show up 😡 Sunbae bought Starbucks to cheer me up 😇
Die 🤬🤬🤬
The day is nice should I just resign 😇
Is there only coming to work and no leaving? Haha 😇

YJM checks those regularly.
Sometimes she checks with her main account.
KMJ gets awkward/embarrassed whenever Actress Yu's real account appears in the viewed list. 

=

Then one day
Actress YJM-nim: Sent a present and a message. Check right now!

She wonders, "Huh?" and when she goes in

[1++grade luxury hanwoo gift set 3.0kg]   -> hanwoo is premium korean beef and 1++ is the highest quality grade

Work is difficult, isn't it?
A small gift haha... Enjoy

She was sent a 800,000 won beef gift set as a present...
Ah she must be crazy isn't this against some law?
KMJ's jaw dropped

=

Her hands were shaking as she thought of a response but then she had to scurry away at the call of her sunbae...
As a result, she was able to only type, "You didn't have to give-" and wasn't even able to send it.
And like that a day passed~~
When she took a quick glance at her phone,

Actress YJM-nim: Looks like you're busy
Actress YJM-nim: Are you working overtime tonight too?

Oh right the reply!!!!!!!!! She grabbed the phone to respond but poor MJ was dragged to the company dinner. 

=

In the end, she went to the company dinner, got drunk, and the late response,

*Actress YJM is
isa
os
contrary to the rumors
bery friendly anf
kind anf
thanl yoi for the beeg
but this is too bih of a gift so
I cab't
is it ok for me to accept

*She's drunk so she's typing the characters next to the actual character she's trying to type. Proper: Contrary to the rumors, actress YJM is very friendly and kind and thank you for the beef but this is too big of a gift so I can't receive it.

She received a call from YJM right afterwards.
KMJ read the room before she ran away outside to pick up the phone.

=

- Hulleo  *drunkenly saying hello
- What the

- You're actually drunk

- Who made you drink?

KMJ rubbed her eyes to come to her senses.

- *No, it's not that. It's just that I can't drink well.

- *I'm fine....

Hmm.... YJM, who was worrying

- Where are you having your company dinner?

* MJ is drunkenly speaking but i'm getting lazy to translate that way

=

KMJ was mumbling words that had all been dissolved from her tipsiness. 

- Mngh.... Was it.... meat...courteous meat...  meat here?   -> drunkly speaking "courteous"
- Courteous meat? -> 바른고기 literally means courteous meat but it's just a common name of a korean bbq restaurant. 
- Yes...
- All right *laughs*

- Don't drink more and

- hold on well

Rustling rustling... the phone call ends with sound.
What is this...
KMJ returned to her seat all dizzy and then,
30 minutes later Actress Yu appears at the korean bbq restaurant.

=

They were having a good time, but she was interrupting them.

I'll borrow the maknae here.

She paid for the company dinner's expenses
and then left with KMJ coolly.
She sat KMJ on the passenger seat of her own car, a Porsche, and then
went to the convenience store to buy a hangover reliever drink and gave it to her.  -> the drink is called 깨수깡

You didn't eat the meat I sent you but,

am I alright because I at least saw your face?

Is this something that the most busy and famous celebrity would say ㅜ

=

KMJ, who managed to fall asleep in the midst of that...
YJM stretched her arm to the back seats, rummaging around, and found a travel neck pillow to prop the head of the dozing kid.

Are you sleeping?

Are you really sleeping?

If you do this, you're putting me on the spot...

In the end, the place she decided to go after grabbing the steering wheel is
not the 8-pyeong studio apartment that KMJ lives in but
YJM's 80-pyeong apartment in Hannam-dong.

*pyeong is KR measurement of floor space. Hannam-dong is where a lot of famous celebrities live (i.e. bts, gdragon, etc) and very expensive to live. 

=

YJM gently laid KMJ down and smiled.
Ah, this is my first time being in a dating relationship like this *< Her pretending to be dating is crazy good; 
The rumor that YJM has a lot of girls and plays dirty
is the truth to some degree.
Her method was to sleep with them once if she was interested and coolly say bye afterwards.
So, normally she would deal with other actresses or idols since she hated word getting around but
how did it happen to become an extremely normal person?   -> "it" as in her next partner

*whenever op uses <, op is inserting their own opinion to that line. Op also uses () to input their opinions too. Translating this part is difficult bc of slang but basically op is saying JM is crazy good at pretending that they are dating by saying stuff like that as if they are in a relationship lol

=

It was true that she had contacted KMJ to sleep with her once.
She saw her for the first time on the day they had a pre-interview since she had been casted to the show and thought, "oh I see"*, since she was cute.
When she saw her on the day of the variety show recording, even though she was soiled from moving about here and there, she was young and pretty like an idol, so her interest peaked to the max and she took a chance which was the truth...
Even so, this was the first time she acted this way to someone working at a broadcasting station.

*There's no real english translation to this word but in this context, it's close to "i see" or "ooo" but it's very old classical korean that not a lot of ppl use these days. It either means 1. I feel very sorrowful/sad or 2. sighing/groaning but the meaning has changed in modern times and it's used more to show interest in something. 

=

But the more she contacted her, she thought
Is she a ? Has she never dated before?
because of how much she couldn't read the room.
But then again, she's very docile/meek and knows how to handle people (makes sense/after all, we are all the same/humans...)
When she observed how she lived via Instagram stories,
she worked hard, moving around *cutely with that small body of hers.
Ah, I want to date her.
Even as she was looking at her she thought,
she was very small and looked like a small animal.
Ah, I want to adopt her < What is this?   -> the "adopt" used here is used for puppies not ppl in KR lol

*there's no eng translation for this but its the sound animals with short legs make when they follow their owners/older animals around in a cute manner.

=

She didn't want to disturb the girl when she was sleeping well so,
YJM went to the guest room to sleep.
The bed was large so she should just sleep with her ㅜ  -> this is the op's thoughts lol
She left the queen size bed behind and tossed and the super single bed while saying,
Ah, seriously what am I doing?
It's my house *sound of raising hand/fist to playfully hit*
Yeah, you can't do that.
I mean, who fed you to get you drunk like that?
It's been a while since we last met and we couldn't even converse that much.

=

*yawn noise* I slept well...
*gasp* Where is this?

KMJ, who had woken from her slumber, was flustered.
It was not the light yellow quilt she had bought from Coupang but,   -> Coupang is KR's Amazon
she was covered by a 60 count goose down hotel duvet. 
A ceiling she's never seen before.
A full window with sunlight shining through.
The bed is also really big it's insane.
Where is this?
A panorama of memories suddenly pours into her unprepared brain.
...
No way is this..
Actress YJM's...
.. house?

=

Ugh, what was worse than that was the fact that she had two hours before she had to go to work.
KMJ hurriedly got up.
When she opened the door to leave,
YJM was eating a grapefruit and monitoring her movie in a living room the size of a freaking sports field *gasp*.
She awkwardly greeted.

... Hello....
You woke up? Do you want to eat some grapefruit?
Ah, I think I'll be late so...
I'll take you there.
Sorry?

=

While chewing on the grapefruit,

- Get ready and then come down. The bathroom is over here. The dressing room is over there. Grab any clothes that fits you and wear it. 
- No, it's fine. I can go on my own...
- Do you know where this is?
- 
- I bet my car is faster? Just be indebted to me a little.

Ah, but I think I'm already indebted to you a lotㅜ...
KMJ decided to bite the bullet and said yes thank youㅜ....

=

Hmm~.. YJM chose a car key and headed out.
Yesterday was the Porsche. Today was a Maserati.

At that time, KMJ was washing her face.
She was going to borrow some lotion because her face was dry but,
*shocked* isn't this expensive..?
Seriously just a little. She applied it after squeezing out three drops.
KMJ picked up only her bag and left immediately.
She carefully slipped into YJM's car.

=

Oh no.
The traffic is freaking heavy in Hannam-dong.
KMJ felt suffocated and felt like she was seconds away from dying so, she kept glancing at the clock.
YJM was also getting anxious.
Ah, I wanted to leave a good impression but I'm only making it worse...
I want to start a conversation with you but you seem out of it..

Are you very late? Ah, there's a lot more traffic than I thought.
Ah, yes, it's okay.
Do you want to listen to music?
Ah, it's fine.
At what time do you get off work?
Uh... I don't know (She seriously doesn't know).

=

Ah... 17 minutes before I have to arrive for work..
I think I can make it if I just run my off...
In the end, KMJ,

IthinkIcangetoffherebecauseI'llbelateIfIrunIthinkIcanmakeitThankyoufordrivingme.... Also, I'mreallysorryforyesterday... 

Ah, I wanted to talk with her more... KMJ was ready to leave immediately as YJM, who was dissatisfied, stopped the car by the shoulder of the road.

=

When do you take the day off then?

She wanted to hold onto her, so she tried to ask one more thing.

Uh... I normally don't take the day off!

After saying those words, KMJ sprung out of the car like a spring.
Ah, how pitiful...

Ha, what kind of PD is busier than a celebrity?

She wondered if she would be able to contact her again and looked at the seat where KMJ was sitting but
KMJ had forgotten her AirPod and left.
Yay~.. Lucky.

=

Adding some bluff to it, she sent a KakaoTalk message.

[(Picture)]

[It's hostage. Do you want to save it?]

[lol Minjeong-sshi left your airpods at my place]

[After you leave work, come over to pick it up]

[Come over to my place]

=

KMJ who was busy all day long.
She left work after the sun set but
when she looked through her bag to search for her earphones,
Huh it's gone.
Ah!!! I even put a cute Bichon Frisé key ring on it.
Only then did she check her Kakao Talk messages.
She wasn't sure to be relieved or not.
She sighed deeply an
