It began only as an act.
처음에 연기만 뿐이였어.

That was how it was supposed to stay.
그렇게 있어야 됐어.

To truly fall in love seemed unlikely, impossible even.
진심으로 반하는건 불가능했어.

However, truly fall they did and in love they were.
하지만, 진짜 반하고 사랑했어.

The director looked at the crew, making sure all the cameras were ready. They nodded in confirmation and he held up three fingers - countdown until air. The five hosts quickly double-checked their hair and clothes, settling comfortably.
감독님이 스태프를 잘 관리하는 중이었어요. 카메라를 다 준비한지 눈치 한두번식 봤고 다섯 주인보고 세 손가락을 들었어요. 주인들 빨리 한번더 옷하고 머리 관리했어요.

"Did you guys hear about the new couples?" the eldest of the bunch, Misun, questioned. 
"세 커플들을 들으셨죠?" 제일 나이 먹었던, 박미선, 물었어요.

 New Couples...!!! 
 세 커플들...!!! 

"Ah, I heard. Netizens are going crazy over it," Jungmin, the second-eldest, answered, his tone pleasant.
"아 들었어요. 네티즌들가 난리났어요," 김종민, 두번째 늙으신 분, 쾌활하게 대답했어요. 

"Right? Headlines keep on talking about the 'WooSeung Couple' and their date in the mall," Nayoung added, her envy evident in her tone.
"그치? 해드라인들은 자꾸 '우승 커플'의 백화점 데이트만 예기하잖아요," 김나영 부럽게 산입했어요.

 Champion Couple 
 우승 커플 

"You can't forget the others. The 'SooHo Couple' and the 'YeKi Couple' are just as popular," Kibum, also known as Key from SHINee, pointed out, mischievously matching eyes with the others. "I mean, they all already have couple names already."
"그런데 다른 커플들 잊으면 안돼죠. '수호 커플'과 '예기 커플'도 인기 많잔아요," 샤이니의 키도 일려진 김기범 지적했어요. 다른 주인 같이 장난한 눈빛으로 맞어쳤어요. "커플 이름 다 있잖아요."

 Guardian Couple  + Anticipation Couple 
 수호 커플 + 예기 커플 

"I don't understand why I have to be here this season of all times," Changmin sighed.
"그런에 왜 내가 이 시션에서 나와야 돼는지 이해 못 해요," 이창민 한 숨 쉈어요.

"Ah right. You're a fan of..." Nayoung trailed off, thinking for a minute.
"아 그렇지. 넌 그 분의 팬이죠," 김나영이 생각했어요.

"Choi Sooyeon," Changmin replied. "And we're not just fans, we're like family."
"최수연," 이창민 대답했어요. "그런데 그냥 팬아니고, 진짜 가족같아요."

"Didn't the 2AM members and you mention her in an interview?" Key recalled faintly.
"2AM 멤버들과 인터뷰에 한두번 수연씨를 말했었는 기억 나는돼요," 키 말했어요.

"We mention her whenever we talk about JYP in general," Changmin stated factually. "I don't know whether to be happy or upset she's going on We Got Married."
"그냥 JYP 말하면 수연을 말해요," 이창민 말 했어요. "우결하니까 행복할까말까 아니면 당황할까말까 하는 거예요."

"Protective?" Nayoung teased.
"보호해서요?" 나영 노렸어요.

"Or maybe jealous," Key added, smirking.
"아니면 그냥 질투할걸요," 키 피식 웃고 산입했어요.

"The question is if he's jealous about her marriage or of her husband," Misun threw in jokingly.
"그러면 결혼아니면 남편의 질투이 질문이죠," 박미선 농담 하셨어요.

"Why are you guys teasing me first episode already?" Changmin questioned, sighing.
"왜 첫째 화에 이렇게 놀려오?" 이창민 한숨쉬고 물었어요.

 Already Picked On 
 이미 꼻린 

"Girls need things to gossip about," Jungmin joked.
"여자들은 원래 잡담을 해야돼요," 김종민 농담했어요.

"Hey!" the two females and Key shouted at once with mock offense. 
"야!" 두여분과 키가 장난으로 불쾌하게 버럭 했어요.

-oOo-

Show! Music Core - one of the top music shows on MBC - was recording and quickly raising the mood. Stars performed on stage while the fans screamed praises and sang along, moving and dancing along. 
쇼! 음악중심 - MBC의 한 최고의 음악 방송 - 지금 녹화 중이고 분위기 후끈후끈 하게 만들었어요. 연예인들 무대 위에서 공연하고 팬들은 칭찬 소리 질으고 노래 같이 불으고 같이 춤을 췄어요.

The camera followed the sillhouette of three females, only shadows against the stages bright lights, before moving away, turning and going down the halls, fast-forwarded so the people were only blurs. It went back to normal speed for a moment when 2PM passed by, the group greeting the camera, before quickly fast-forwarding again into one of the many waiting rooms.
카메라가 세 여성분의 실루엣, 빤짝한 무대의 빛에 그냥 그림자였을 뿐,을 따랐어요. 그 다음에 빠른 속도로 돌고 현관을 내려 갔어요. 2PM이 지날때, 카메라를 인사하고, 잠깐 표준의 속도 돌아갔고, 다시 빨른 속도로 많은 대기실의 하나를 안에 들어갔어요.

The room was simple - several desks, lights, mirrors, a dressing room, and two long couches with a glass table in between. The room was quiet but unlike most waiting rooms, there was a single white mailbox in the center, its red flag turned up. On its sides, P O S T was written in golden, neat letters.
방이 간단했어요. 여러 테이블, 불, 거울, 탈의실과 두 긴 소파하고 한 유리 테이블 그 사이에있었어요. 방이 조용했고 다른 대기실 달른 한 하얀 우체통있었어요. 그 우체통의 빨간 깃발이 올렸고 옆쪽의 깔끔한 금 글자로 P O S T있었어요.

 . . . 

The door opened finally and the room became filled with noise.
문 드디어 열고 방이 씨그럽게 돼었어요.

"It's over," one voice - somewhat low but undoubtedly female - cheered with relief. The camera zoomed in on the speaker, a tall and pretty female dressed in a y, black outfit. 
"끝났다," 한 목소리 - 좀 낮지만 확실히 여자의 목소리 - 구원의 환성을 질었어요. 카메라가 그 사람 - 검은 섹시한 옷 입는 장신하고 예쁜 여분 - 에 확대했어요.

 Choi Seungyeon (Age 23) 
 최승연 (나이 23) 

-oOo-

"Ah! It's Seungyeon," Key remarked. 
"아! 승연이다," 키 말 했어요.

"Technically, is she your hoobae?" Nayoung questioned, pointing at Seungyeon on the screen.
"후배 아니예요?" 나영이 물었어요. 스크린의 있는 승연이를 가리켰어요.

"But even if she began as a gagwoman, she's been in the field longer than I have," Key added, waving his hand. "But since it's kind of confusing, we decided to just address each other as friends. Plus, she's very chic. She hates formalities."
"개그우먼 이지만, 나보다 장에 오래있었잖아요," 키 손흔들고 산입했어요. "근데 아직도 혼란해서 그냥 반말을 쓸게 결정했어요. 그리고 진짜 시크해요. 존댓말 진짜 싫어요."

"That could be because she's foreign," Changmin reminded.
"외국에서 와서 그럴 수도 있겠죠," 이창민 말했어요.

"That's also possible," Key joked, the studio laughing lightly.
"그것도 가능해요," 키 장난으로 말했어요. 스튜디오가 가볍게 웃었어요.

-oOo-

"There's always tomorrow," another voice, quieter and higher, reminded. The camera switched views to her, a short female in a white dress, a great contrast against Seunyeon.
"내일 항상 있어요," 다른, 더 조용하고 높은, 목소기 말했어요. 카메라가 전망 그에게 바꿨어요. 승연이와 큰 대조로 이룬, 그 그녀는 단신하고 하얀 드레스 입었어요. 

 Choi Sooyeon (Age 25) 
 최수연 (나이 25) 
 

-oOo-

"Ah. She appeared," Changmin sighed. "Sooyeon, don't get married!"
"아. 드디어 나타났어요," 이창민 한 숨 쉈어요. "수연아, 결혼하지마!"

"Even though it's already too late," Misun teased, making Changmin give a depressed smile at her truth while the others burst into laughter.
"이미 뒤 늦었은돼," 박미선 노렸어요. 그 사실에 이창민이 빗웃음났지만 다른 분들은 진짜 웃음 빵 터졌어요.

 Even Though It's Already Too Late 
 (뜬끔) 이미 뒤 늦었는돼 
 

-oOo-

"Don't be mean," Seungyeon refuted, sighing. "Let me enjoy my rest a bit."
"야비하지마," 승연 한 숨 쉈어요. "내 휴식 좀 즐기자."

"She's right though," a third voice pointed out. The camera, again, switched to her, a beautiful female smiling brightly in a semi-formal outfit.
"그런데 맞자나," 세번째 목소리 말했어요. 또, 카메라가 전망을 밝은 미소 지은 정형화의 옷 입으신 그녀에게 바꿨어요.

 Baek Yejin (Age 23) 
 백예진 (나이 23) 

-oOo-

"Hey, is this some kind of family season?" Key asked suddenly.
"야, 이거 무슨 가족 시즌이에요?" 키 갑자기 물어봤어요.

"Why do you say that?" Jungmin questioned back.
"왜 그런 말해요?" 김종민 다기 질문 했어요.

"Isn't it obvious?" Key huffed. "Seungyeon and Sooyeon-Noona are sisters, Yejin is their cousin, and Inho, Yejin's partner, is also their cousin. If he's a part of it then it's some crazy family season. Just those three together is also a family season."
"뻔하지않아요?" 키 대답했어요. "승연이와 수연누나는 자매고 예진은 사촌이고 인호, 예진의 동료, 도 사촌이잖아요. [인호를] 같이 하면, 진짜 미친 가족 시즌이고 그 세명만도 가족 시즌이잖아요."

 Crazy Family Season 
 미친 가족 시즌 
 

"Then why are you asking us?" Nayoung threw back, turning to him. "We're watching this for the first time too."
"그럼 왜 우리 한테 물어봐요?" 김나영 돌아보고 물었어요. "우리도 처음으로 보시잖아요."

"Even so..." he trailed off, sighing. "I guess you guys don't think much about it."
"그렇지만..." 키 한 숨 쉬고 말했어요. "그 걸 많이 안 생각하냐봐요."

-oOo-

"I hate you both," Seungyeon complained, tossing herself on one of the couches while Sooyeon pulled out a book, already reading. "I just want to go home and sleep."
"둘다 미워," 승연 한 소파위에 눕고 말했어요. 그 동안, 수연 책을 거내고 읽었어요. "그냥 집에가서 자고 싶어."

"If sleeping was a job, you'd be CEO," Yejin teased. She blinked. "What's that mailbox behind the door?"
"자는 것이 직업였으면, 진짜 CEO야," 예진 노렸어요. 깜빡했어요. "문 뒤에 있는 우체통 뭐야?"

Sooyeon and Seungyeon glanced at it.
수연과 승연 쓸적 봤어요.

"It's a mailbox with a mission," Seungyeon answered, rolling her eyes. "Duh."
"미션있는 우체통이지," 승연 눈을 굴리고 대답했어요. "Duh."

"We Got Married," Sooyeon specified.
"우리 결혼했어요," 수연 지정했어요.

"We're...getting married?!" Yejin realized, her voice turning a notch higher. 
"우리...결혼하는 거야?!" 예진 한 음 높아진 목소리로 깨달았어요.

 We're Getting Married?! 
 우리 결혼하는거야?! 

"Oh my goodness," Seungyeon groaned in English.
"Oh my goodness," 승연이가 영어로 말했어요.

"Who do you think is going to be your husband? Or mine?" Yejin wondered aloud, walking to the mailbox.
"누가 네의 남편일것 같아? 아니면 누가 내의 남편?" 우체통 다가간 동안 예진이 물었어요.

"First check who's going on the show," Sooyeon reminded without looking up from her book.
"먼저 누가 출연 하는 거 확인해요," 수연이가 책에서 눈 안 뛰고 말했어요.

"Right," Yejin agreed, opening it. She read it silently to herself, mouthing the words. "Eh?!"
"알았어," 예진 열고 동의했어요. 입만 움직이고 소리 없이 혼자 읽었어요. "에?!"

"What?" Seungyeon asked, rolling over. 
"뭐?" 승연이 소파 위해 굴리고 물었어요.

"All three of us are going on it!" Yejin shouted, squealing happily. 
"우리 세명 다 출연해!" 예진 행복하게 외쳤어요.

"Me too?" Sooyeon questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"저도요?" 수연이 한 눈썹 올리고 물었어요.

"Yup! Come on gals! Be happy! We're getting married!" Yejin encouraged. However, Seungyeon sighed and Sooyeon simply read in silence.
"응! Come on gals! 행복해! 우리 결혼하잖아!" 예진 또 외쳤어요. 하지만, 승연이 한 숨만 쉬고 수연이 조용히 읽었어요.

-oOo-

Writer How did you feel?
작가 기분 어땠어요? 

"Honestly?" Sooyeon sighed. "My mind went blank. Married? Was my manager thinking?"
"속직히요?" 수연이 한 숨 쉈어요. "제 머리가 하얗게 됐어요. 결혼요? 매니저가 생각했어요?

 Was My Manager Thinking? 
 매니저가 생각했어요? 

-oOo-

"Really. Was your manager thinking?" Changmin sighed.
"진짜. 네 매니저가 생각했니?" 창민 한 숨 쉈어요.

-oOO-

Writer You weren't happy?
작가 안 행복했어요? 

"I'm not even sure myself," Sooyeon answered honestly. 
"저도 잘 몰라요," 수연 솔직히 대답했어요.

 I'm Not Even Sure Myself 
 저도 잘 몰라요 

"But..." she trailed off. "For some reason...I didn't hate it."
"그런데요..." 잠깐 조용 했어요. "왠지...싫진 않었어요."

She nodded.
끄덕했어요.

"I didn't hate it."
"싫진 않었어요."

 I Didn't Hate It 
 싫진 않었어요 

-oOo-

"Changmin, from what you know, has Sooyeon ever dated anyone before?" Jungmin questioned, turning to the male.
"창민아, 아는 건, 수연씨가 사귀어 본 적 있어요?" 김종민 돌아서 보고 물었어요.

"Never," Changmin answered automatically. "We didn't believe it, but she's seriously never dated."
"전혀 없어요," 이창민이 자동적으로 대답했어요. "우리 믿지 않았지만, 진짜 전혀 사귀어 본 적 없때요."

"How about someone she's liked?" Misun asked. Changmin thought for a moment.
"그러면 좋아하는 사람요?" 박미선 물었어요. 이창민 잠깐 생각했어요.

"I heard she liked someone before, but she said that it'd be difficult," Changmin recalled faintly. 
"좋아했는 사람있다고 들은 적있는데, 힘들다고 했어요," 이창민 말했어요. 

"Difficult? Why?" Nayoung questioned. "Would she be breaking up a married couple?"
"힘들어요? 왜요?" 김나영 물었어요. "부부를 깨는 거예요?"

 Breaking Up A Married Couple 
 부부를 깨요 

Changmin sighed at her question.
질문에 이창민이 한 숨 쉈어요.

"Sooyeon isn't like that. Even if he were married, she could steal him away," Changmin answered confidently.
"수연이는 그런 사람 아니예요. 결혼했어도 훔쳐갈 수도 있어요," 이창민 당당하게 대답했어요.

 Can Steal Him Away 
 훔쳐갈 수도 있어요 

The MCs laughed at his answer.
대답에 MC들 웃음을 터졌어요.

"The reason it's hard for her is because if she really likes him, she can't talk to him," Changmin added with slight regret. 
"좋아서 힘들은 이유는 말 못 건데요," 이창민 아쉬움 같이 말했어요.

"How do you know this?" Jungmin asked, raising an eyebrow.
"넌 이거 어떻게 알아요?" 김종민 한 눈썹 올리고 물었어요. 

"Because I asked," Changmin responded simply.
"청해서요," 이창민 간단하게 대답했어요.

 Because I Asked 
 청해서요 

"If you ask, she'll answer almost anything," Changmin stated.
"질문하면 거의 다 대답해요," 이창민 말했어요.

"He's not lying," Key agreed. "I asked her a really inappropriate question as a joke and she answered me right away. I nearly died from choking."
"뻥 아니예요," 키 산입했어요. "장난으로 진짜 부적당한 질문 청했는데 바로 대답했어요. 지식으로 거의 사망 됐어요."

-oOo-

Writer What were you thinking?
작가 무슨 생각했어요? 

"At first, I was sleepy so nothing was really getting through to me," Seungyeon answered, laughing lightly. "But then it suddenly...just came at me and my first thought was 'Marriage? What marriage?' "
"먼저는 너무 졸려서 아무것도 안 들였어요," 승연이 가벼운 웃음과 대답했어요. "그런데 갑자기...그냥 확 돼서 첫 생각은 '결혼? 무슨 결혼?' "

Writer Were you happy?
작가 행복했어요? 

"More than happy, I was...surprised," Seungyeon answered. "Married? Me? Now? It was weird."
"행복보다...당황했어요," 승연 대답했어요. "결혼요? 나? 지금? 이상했어요."

-oOo-

Writer You were really happy about the marriage. Why?
작가 왜 결혼 들을때 진짜 행복했어요? 

"Why? Because it's marriage," Yejin stated with a happy sigh. "It's a little early, but I truly believe that being in love is one of the best feelings in the world."
"왜요? 결혼이니까요," 예진이 행복한 숨 쉬고 말했어요. "조금 일찍이지만 진심으로 반한 기분이 세상에서 최고로 생각해요."

Writer Do you fall in love often?
작가 자주 반해요? 

"Mm...every now and then. But I couldn't pursue it if I wanted to," Yejin admitted. "I'm an idol after all and it won't just affect me, but it'll affect Inho and the one I like; it affects everyone."
"음...가끔. 그런데 좋아해도 추격을 못 하잖아요," 예진 고백했어요. "난 아이돌이잖아요. 그리고 나만 침범하지 않죠. 인호하고 내가 좋아하는 사람 다 모두 침범해요."

 It'll Affect Everyone... 
 다 모두 침범해요... 

"So...I think it's nice to have a chance to fall in love even if it's under everyone's watch," Yejin added, smiling lightly.
"그래서...여러분의 감시있지만 좋은 기회 같아요," 예진 밝게 웃고 말했어요.

Writer Who do you think is the most excited?
작가 누가 제일 흥분한 것 같아요? 

"Mmm...Well, I'm the most excited in the outside," Yejin began, giggling. "Seungyeon...will be excited depending on her husband and Sooyeon-Unnie..."
"음...보면 네가 제일 흥분하게 보여요," 웃고 말했어요. "승연이는...누가 남편나름에 흥분할거고 수연언니는..." 

She paused.
잠시 말 안 했어요.

"I don't think she's excited," Yejin admitted. "But...I don't think she hates it either."
"내 생각에는 안 흥분한 것 같아요," 예진 말했어요. "그런데...싫진 않은 것 같아요."

-oOo-

"Who do you guys think are our husbands?" Yejin asked, sighing happily.
"누가 남편일것 같아?" 예진 행복한 숨 쉬고 물었어요.

"A boy," Sooyeon answered obviously.
"남자요," 수연가 뻔하게 대답했어요. 

 A Boy 
 남자 

-oOo-

The studio burst into laughter.
스튜디오 웃음을 빵 터졌어요.

"Of course it's a boy," Nayoung teased. "What else? An alien?"
"당연히 남자지," 나영 노렸어요. "또 뭐? 외계인?"

The MCs laughed again.
MC들 또 웃었어요.

-oOo-

"That's obvious," Yejin complained, rolling her eyes. "I mean who do you gals want to go on the show with?"
"그건 뻔하잖아," 예진 눈을 굴리고 호소했어요. "아니 누가 같이하고 출연하고 싶어?"

"Infinite," Seungyeon answered immediately in deadpan. "Just kidding."
"인피니트," 승연 바로 무표정으로 대답했어요. "뻥이야."

Her serious tone made it difficult to tell if she really was joking or not.
진짜 뻥인지 진심한 목소리 몰랐어요.

"A boy," Sooyeon stated simply as before.
"남자요," 수연이 간단하게 똑같이 말했어요.

 A Boy 
 남자 

Yejin and Seungyeon sighed at once, sharing a look.
예진과 승연 서로 눈치하고 한 숨 슀어요.

-oOo-

Writer Was there someone you wanted to do it with?
작가 같이하고 싶은 사람있었어요? 

"No one," Sooyeon stated simply. "Maybe someone I haven't met yet though."
"없었어요," 수연이 간단하게 대답했어요. "그런데 안 만났는 사람 좋을 것 같아요."

 . . . 

Writer Why?
작가 왜요?

"Because...JYP is like my family," she began slowly. "And...Seungyeon is in SM so I see the people in SM also as my siblings. Yejin and Inho who are my cousins are in YG so they're also like family...Ah, it'll be a bit difficult to find someone I haven't met at least once."
"왜냐면...JYP 제 가족 같고요," 천천히 말했어요. "그리고...승연이가 SM에 있으니까 SM의 사람도 제 형제 같아요. 예진하고 인호, 제 사촌, YG에 있어서 또 가족 같고요...아, 제가 안 한번도 안 뵈은 사람 찾는 건 어려울 걸요."

 Writer: So you know ^^;
 작가: 알잖아요 ^^;

 Meanwhile... 
 그 동안... 

The camera zoomed in on a random dinosaur costume head next to a pot of purple crocus flowers and a blue backpack.
카메라가 임외외한 공룡 머리 복하고 옆에있는 보라색 꽃과 파란 가방을 확대시켰어요.

  

 ? ? ? 

-oOo-

"What in the world is that?" Misun questioned, surprised.
"그건 뭐야?" 박미선 깜짝해서 물었어요.

"Doesn't that remind you of another couple though?" Jungmin joked.
"다른 커플 생각 안 나요?" 김종민 말했어요.

"Ah! The Adam Couple!" Nayoung recalled. "With Jo Kwon as the mongoose!"
"아! 아담 부부!" 김나영 대답했어요. "조권씨가 몬구스였잖아요!"

-oOo-

"Is this a hidden camera?" the male wondered. The camera skimmed over his legs and his purposely stuffed stomach, passing his stubby hands and focusing in on his lips. "Am I really going on We Got Married?"
"이거 몰카예요?" 남자 질문했어요. 다리과 배 살짝보고 손 넘어서 입술에 집중했어요. "진짜 우리 결혼했어요 출연 하는 걸까?"

He laughed when his manager confirmed it.
매니저의 확인 듣고 웃었어요.

"This feels weird. And none of the members came to support me," he stated, sighing. "Ah~ I wonder who'll be my new wife."
"느낌이 이상해. 그리고 멤버들 하나도 없고 응원 없고," 한 숨 쉬고 말했어요. "아~ 내 부인 누군지 궁금해."

The car stopped as it arrived and he pulled on the head of the costume as the camera zoomed out. He gave a final wave to his manager, picked up the bouquet, and left, a blue backpack slung on his shoulders.
도착하니까 차가 멈치고 공룡머리 썼어요. 마지막 매니저의 인사하고 꽃 갖고 그 파란 가방 쓰고 나갔어요.

-oOo-

"That's odd. There's no place or time to meet though," Yejin noticed, frowning.
"이상하다. 언제 아니면 어디 만나는 대 없어," 예진 눈치 쳐고 찡그렸어요. 

"Who knows and who cares. If it's a mistake they'll let us know," Seungyeon pointed out, yawning. She grabbed a dark piece of cloth draped on one of the couches. "I'm changing."

Yejin followed Seungyeon's path with her eyes, laughing mischievously, before turning to the camera.

"She says she doesn't care, but she's going to wear a dress," Yejin teased after Seungyeon disappeared into the changing room.

There was a knock on the door. The two girls looked at each other before finally Yejin answered the door.

"Yes? Who is i-Kya!" she shrieked, taking a few steps back and nearly falling over. She put a hand on her heart. The costumed person nervously stepped inside, bowing at the two females before looking around. "You nearly gave me a heart attack! Who are you and what do you want?"

Sooyeon stood up, walking towards the costumed person. She stopped barely a meter from him and tilted her head in thought.

"...A boy," she declared.

 A Boy 

-oOo-

The studio broke into laughter at her obvious words.

-oOo-

"He's a husband," Sooyeon pieced together, glancing at the bouquet in his hands. "If you're waiting for Seungyeon, wait a moment please. She's changing."

Slowly, the dinosaur nodded.

 Nod Nod 

"Take a seat," Sooyeon ordered, walking away. She turned to Yejin. "I'm going home."

Yejin glanced at the dinosaur before smiling.

"Me too. Wait for me Unnie," she declared, grabbing her own bag before following.

-oOo-

Seungyeon finally stepped out, changed.

"Hey-" She caught sight of the dinosaur and stopped. 

 . . . 

"Who are you?" she asked with no expression. He stood up and bowed before walking over and handing her the bouquet. She stared suspiciously at him.

"Are you...my husband?" she questioned. He nodded enthusiastically.

"Are you going to tell me who you are?" she asked. He shook his head.

"You're having fun with this," she noticed. He nodded again, laughing. She returned a smile now.

-oOo-

Writer When did you notice who your husband was? 

Seungyeon smiled again.

"The minute he laughed I knew," she admitted. 

Writer Really? 

"He has that distinct laugh," she pointed out. "It's like Kahahahaha!"

 Kahahahaha 

The writers laughed at her accurate imitation.

-oOo-

"Are you going to give me a hint on who you are?" Seungyeon asked. The dinosaur thought for a moment. "Actually, let me guess."

The dinosaur nodded.

 Nod Nod 

"Let's start with company. Are you in SM, JYP, Cube, or YG?" she questioned. He shook his head no.

"Then is it Woollim, Pledis, Starship, or T.O.P Media?" she asked, watching him. He nodded again.

 Nod Nod 

"Woollim?" she guessed. He clapped his hands and nodded.

 Clap Clap Nod Nod 

"Well, in Woollim, there's Nell, Infinite, and Tasty," she thought aloud. "You're from Infinite, right?"

He nodded and crouched by his bag, pulling out a notebook with some difficulty. He flipped to the first page and held it up.

 Who's your favorite in Infinite? 

"Hmm...Sunggyu and the least is Dongwoo," she answered easily. The dinosaur dropped the notebook and laughed again, lying on his back.

 Kahahahaha 

Seungyeon took the chance, sauntering over and pulling off the head.

"Knew it. Jang Dongwoo," she called, smirking. "Don't laugh when trying to hide your identity."

Dongwoo just continued laughing on the floor, still in the dinosaur suit.

 Jang Dongwoo (Age 22) 

-oOo-

"Who do you think that was?" Yejin asked in the car.

"Infinite," Sooyeon answered simply, keeping her eyes on the road.

"Seriously?" Yejin gawked, surprised.

"Jang Dongwoo I'm assuming," Sooyeon added. "He was given that bag after a CF."

"Man, your memory is crazy," Yejin decided, sighing. "I wonder about our husbands."

At that moment, someone's ringtone cut into their conversation.

 It's A Beautiful Starry Night 
 별이 빛나는 아름다운 밤이야이야 

Sooyeon rummaged through her bag without looking before pulling out her phone and her bluetooth. With dexterity and familiarity, she stuck her bluetooth in her ear before answering her phone, sticking it in the cupholder beside her.

 To Make This Night Last Forever- 
 이 밤이 영원하길- 

"Why are you calling this late?" Sooyeon questioned immediately, blunt as usual.

-oOo-

"Ah Sooyeon-Noona," a male voice greeted. The camera only showed the bottom half of his face - his lips, his nose, his hand, and his phone. "I'm Yejin's husband!"

-oOo-

"...I see," Sooyeon answered. "What do you want?"

-oOo-

"You're with her now, right? Can you do me a favor and drive her to the place I text you in...ten minutes?" he requested.

-oOo-

"Alright. If you break her heart, I break your face," Sooyeon warned simply before hanging up.

 If You Break Her Heart, I Break Your Face 

-oOo-

"As scary as ever," the male chuckled before hanging up himself.

-oOo-

"Who was that?" Yejin asked, tilting her head.

"Your husband," Sooyeon answered simply.

"Oh, my husband," Yejin repeated before realizing. "What?! My husband?"

 My Husband?! 

"Is there something you want to grab or do before meeting him?" Sooyeon questioned. Yejin hesitated.

"I-I'm fine," she stuttered.

 Stutter Stutter 

"But..."

"Can we stop by a flower shop?" Yejin requested, grinning.

"Of course," Sooyeon agreed, lightly smiling back. "I needed to stop by anyway."

"New flowers for your house?" Yejin guessed.

"I'm going to greet my husband," Sooyeon stated simply. Yejin's jaw dropped.

"You know who he is?" she realized.

"It was a personal request," Sooyeon mysteriously added. Yejin sighed.

"Man Unnie. The staff must love you."

 PD: Of Course 

 Who Is Yejin's Husband? 

-oOo-

"When'd you know it was me?" Dongwoo asked, finally done with laughing. He sat on the couch opposite of her, his dinosaur head still in his arms.

"As soon as you laughed," Seungyeon answered, smirking.

"Then you didn't answer the question truthfully," Dongwoo accused hopefully.

"I did," Seungyeon stated in deadpan. "Just kidding. The order is switched actually."

"So I'm your favorite?" Dongwoo realized happily.

 Smile Smile 

"Yes you Dinosaur," Seungyeon teased, unable to help but smile at his own. 

"Ah poor Gyu-Hyung," he realized, laughing louder.

"Whenever I watch him or meet him, I really want to torture him," Seungyeon admitted, smirking. Dongwoo only laughed.

 Kahahahaha 

-oOo-

"I'm not ready," Yejin whined, staring out the car. In her hands was a bouquet of red roses. "Unnie, is my husband a nice guy? Can't you tell me something about him?"

"He's your favorite in the group," Sooyeon stated shortly.

"Really?" Yejin asked happily. "Wait which group? B2ST? B1A4? CN Blue? FT Island?-"

The list continued on.

-oOo-

"Ah, when is she getting here?" a low voice - the same one over the phone - wondered, a smile lighting up his face. The camera zoomed out.

-oOo-

"Ah!" Nayoung immediately recognized, pointing.

-oOo-

"She won't be too late, right?" the male questioned, smiling.

 Lee Kikwang (Age 23) 

-oOo-

"It's Kikwang!" Nayoung shouted happily.

"Why are you the one happy?" Jungmin questioned.

"My bad," Nayoung apologized, laughing lightly.

-oOo-

He looked across the park. He sat at one of the park's many wooden tables, flowers arranged beside him - roses.

"Ah, when is she coming?" he wondered aloud. He blew on his hands to keep them warm against the cold, humming to himself. 

"Hello?" a faint cry rang. He perked up, looking in the direction the voice came from. A sillhouette came into view, illuminated by the street lamps. He stood to greet her, moving to meet her halfway and to hide his own surprise. As she came closer, it became more clear who she was and she began giggling.

"Finally I found you," she sighed, appearing. In her hands was a bouquet of red roses and a bag was hung over her shoulder. "Are you...my husband?"

Kikwang paused for a moment, as if in a trance but quickly answered her.

"Hello. I'm Lee Kikwang, your husband."

He bowed politely.

"I'm Baek Yejin, your new wife," she introduced, bowing back. She held out the bouquet of roses, slightly blushing. "The-These are for you."

Just as pink, he took them with both hands.

"And these are for you," he directed, naturally taking her by the hand and showing her the heart-shaped message of roses on the park table.

A smile lit her face.

"These are for me?" she asked, genuinely surprised.

"Who else would I give it to?" he questioned in return, lightly teasing. 

She beamed.

"Thank you."

-oOo-

"No more schedules...? You're sure?" the male questioned. The camera filmed two males from the neck-down, seated in a van in comfortable, casual clothing.

"It got moved," the manager answered from the front seats of the car - out of the camera's view.

The two males sighed together.

"Does that mean we get the rest of the day off?" the other male, the one on the left asked, smiling. 

"Tomorrow too," the manager added.

"Yes!" the male on the left cheered. His body turned towards the one on the right slightly. "What should we do Hyung?"

"Ask me in the morning after we rest," the one on the right joked, stretching. 

"Sure thing Hyung," the male on the left agreed teasingly, chuckling. 

-oOo-

Sooyeon slung a duffle bag from the trunk of the car onto her shoulder before grabbing a large amount of plastic bags filled with food in one hand. Calmly, she shut the trunk and walked into a building.

 Strong...Strong Sooyeon 

Her eyes studied her surroundings steadily while she quickly walked down the halls before she finally spotted it. She typed in the door's lock password and entered, looking around carefully while taking off her shoes.

-oOo-

Writer Where were you and what were you doing? 

"My...husband is an idol," Sooyeon explained. "But, since he's so busy, I thought after a long schedule I'd surprise them with dinner."

Writer How'd you get in? 

"I secretly talked to his manager," Sooyeon stated with a half-smile.

-oOo-

Sooyeon tied up her hair and pulled an apron out of her bag, locating the kitchen. She dropped the duffle bag in the living room and placed the plastic bags of ingredients on the counter. She quickly located the utensils she needed and began cooking.

-oOo-

"She looks so comfortable in the kitchen," Misun noted, surprised. 

"We cook together all the time," Changmin added proudly.

 Proud Proud 

"And her cooking skills?" Jungmin wondered.

"Killer," Key answered with admiration, giving a thumbs-up. "She made SHINee lunch when we went on the same program and it was amazing. I wish she'd cook for us again. I'm jealous of her husband now."

-oOo-

The camera watched in fascination as Sooyeon prepared quickly, cleaning up just as fast. She packed away the plastic bags at once, set the table for three, and even finished off by placing a small flower in a vase for decoration.

She closed the lid of the pot, setting the heat to low, and pulling her hair down. She repacked her apron and instead pulled out a book, curling up on the couch.

-oOo-

 . . . 

"That's it?" Misun questioned, blinking. "We didn't even meet her husband yet."

-oOo-

"So...what are we going to do now?" Yejin questioned, the bouquet of roses in her arms as the two walked down the street.

"Well, there's something I have planned first," Kikwang admitted. 

"Really?" Yejin asked eagerly, beaming. "Let's go! What are we going to do?"

"That's a secret," Kikwang teased, pointing her down the right direction.

-oOo-

Writer What were you doing? 

Kikwang smiled to himself first.

"Well, I actually searched up some things on my wife first - oh that's weird to say - and I found out it was her birthday," he began. "So I kept on thinking and thinking about it: 'How could I make it special?' 'What would be an amazing gift?' Things like that."

Writer And you decided? 

"There's something I've actually been wanting to do," Kikwang stated. "And I think that even if it's something small, I wanted to learn it together with my wife."

He beamed.

"So I brought her with me."

-oOo-

The two finally came upon a small cafe and entered.

"What are we doing here?" Yejin asked, turning to him. His eyes twinkled mischievously.

"Have you heard of latte art?" he questioned. She smiled.

"Yeah! I've always wanted to learn but it's not like I have the time," she answered honestly.

"Let's learn now then," Kikwang eagerly suggested, pulling her lightly by the wrist.

-oOo-

"Oh!~" the studio burst at once at the natural movement.

-oOo-

Kikwang walked up the counter, talking secretly with the clerk. The clerk, a tall good-looking male, nodded stiffly and led them into one of the more private tables.

Kikwang and Yejin took a seat as the male clerk left in silence. Yejin's gaze never left the male clerk, eyes bright and curious.

"Don't check out other guys when you're married now," Kikwang scolded with a pout. Yejin snapped her head towards him.

"You don't..." she paused. "Are you jealous already? We just met."

There was silence.

 . . . 

"Is it-Is it wrong if I am?" Kikwang finally responded, slightly pink.

 Stutter Stutter 

"Don't worry. I am your wife," she comforted, unable to help the smile nor the blush crawling up her cheeks. 

-oOo-

"Oh how cheesy," Misun sighed. "After a few years those lines become-"

"Adorable?" Nayoung guessed.

"Annoying," Misun answered, throwing cold water on the studio figuratively as they laughed at her honesty.

-oOo-

The clerk returned with cups and began succinctly explaining as Kikwang and Yejin listened attentively.

"What should we create?" Yejin asked aloud.

"How about we draw animals we remind each other of?" Kikwang suggested happily.

"You watch the Adam Couple too?" Yejin guessed jokingly.

"Exactly," Kikwang answered, looking closely at her before snapping his fingers. The two worked in silence, focused on their own creation.

 Focus  Focus 

 What Animals Will Come Up? 

-oOo-

Sooyeon turned a page of her book in silence.

-oOo-

"Again?" Nayoung sighed.

"She usually doesn't speak much," Changmin informed shortly.

-oOo-

 You Can Count On Me Like 1. 2. 3 An- 

Sooyeon glanced at the screen before answering.

"Yes?" she questioned on speaker phone.

"Ah Sooyeon-Sshi, we just arrived so you have a minute," a male voice immediately informed.

"That's plenty of time," Sooyeon replied shortly, already bookmarking her book. "Did you inform them?"

"They think they have a free day today and tomorrow," he stated. Her lips moved upwards slightly.

"Thank you," she thanked simply. 

"I'll talk to you again later," the male excused before hanging up. She hung up soon after, tossing her cellphone onto the couch and rushing into the kitchen, tossing in last minute ingredients and turning off the heat before moving it quickly onto the center of the table and arranging the side dishes neatly beside it. 

Keys jingled at the front door.

Without rushing, she scooped rice still steaming from the rice cooker into bowls and setting them neatly before looking at the table once more and smiling with satisfaction.

The front door opened.

"We're home," the male from the car called tiredly.

"Welcome home," Sooyeon responded automatically, stepping in front of them. The response was explosive.

"Who are you?! What do you want?! What...is that smell?" a male voice questioned loudly.

"Dinner," Sooyeon answered shortly. She tilted her head slightly. "Do you not like pork bone soup?"

"We love it," the other male answered. 

"That's wonderful, Yunho-Sshi, Changmin-Sshi," Sooyeon stated with a smile.

-oOo-

"Dongbangshinki!" Misun immediately cheered along with Nayoung.

-oOo-

 Shim Changmin (Age 25) + Jung Yunho (Age 27) 

"But...what are you doing here Sooyeon-Sunbae?" Changmin questioned bluntly.

"Eat first," Sooyeon urged, guiding them to one side of the table and taking a seat herself on the other side. Yunho was the first to try and immediately he held up a thumbs up.

"Amazing," he complimented. Changmin quickly followed and he copied the motion.

"Really delicious," he agreed. Sooyeon shyly smiled. 

"Oh, and please don't call me Sunbae. You two have been singers for much longer," she requested. 

"Sooyeon...Sshi?" Yunho tested.

"Sooyeon-Umma," Changmin joked. "What are you here for anyways?"

-oOo-

Writer You're going to what? 

Sooyeon stared seriously at the camera.

"I'm going to test him," Sooyeon answered. "I want to hear an honest opinion before we begin."

Writer Will he be fooled? 

"I'm an actress," Sooyeon stated simply. "The question is what is his answer."

-oOo-

"Well she's confident," Misun joked.

"Her acting skills are no joke," Changmin commented proudly. 

"Seriously," Key agreed.

"You see her in action a lot?" Jungmin guessed.

"On a show, we played switched gender roles," Key began. "For a minute, I felt like she had seriously become a guy and I was the girl."

"Ay, don't lie," Nayoung chided, rolling her eyes.

"Next time we should get her to prank Nayoung," Changmin decided.

"Let's," Key agreed immediately.

"That, I'd pay to see," Misun stated. "Nayoung doesn't look like it but she's good at noticing things."

-oOo-

"Ah, that," Sooyeon stated as if she had just remembered. "Truthfully, I'm here because MBC is going to host a new show and I need a fellow MC."

"We'll do it," Changmin answered right away.

"It would be nice if it was that simple," Sooyeon added, throwing a warning glance at Changmin to listen fully. She hesitated on her next few words. "...If you accept the job...you'll form a love line with me."

Both boys paused mid-bite.

-oOo-

"She is good at acting," Misun noted.

"Told you," Changmin happily stated.

-oOo-

"I'm okay with that," Yunho finally admitted.

"I'm fine with that too," Changmin agreed. Sooyeon shifted her eyes, chewing nervously on her bottom lip.

"But that's not all," she continued. "They want us to date in real life for a few months to promote the show."

"So?" Changmin urged, eagerly grabbing more food. She hesitated again.

"The show has a low percentage of success...are you two okay with that?" she questioned nervously.

"How low?" Changmin wondered.

"Low. Very low. That's why they need the MC love line," Sooyeon answered.

"Anything for you," Yunho brightly agreed. "I'm a big fan so I think that dating you, even if it's pretend, will be worth it."

Sooyeon blushed.

"Won't you regret not being able to date someone you really like? At least a female star you prefer?" Sooyeon asked, biting her lower lip.

"Personally, Sooyeon-Sshi is one of my favorite actresses so it'll be fine," Yunho stated, meeting her eyes with a smile.

"How about you Changmin-Sshi?" Sooyeon directed, turning to the younger.

"If Yunho-Hyung is taking it, why does it matter?" Changmin questioned honestly.

"Because if it's because you'd rather date another female star, I can recommend them instead," Sooyeon stated simply. She turned to Yunho. "If Yunho-Sshi would rather date someone else, I could also arrange that."

"I really respect Sooyeon-Sshi so I'd rather do it together with you," Yunho firmly answered.

"I'm fine," Changmin repeated. "I think Yunho-Hyung should do it."

"I really want to hear your second choices," Sooyeon insisted, completely immersed in her role.

"I really don't have one," Yunho insisted. She turned to Changmin.

"What about you Changmin-Sshi?" she questioned. "Do you have a girl in mind?"

"I'll pass on this show," Changmin stated, still eating.

"Are you sure?" Sooyeon asked, obviously dejected.

-oOo-

"Oh, then is Sooyeon's husband Changmin?" Misun wondered aloud. 

"If only it was this Changmin," Jungmin joked. Changmin sighed.

"But she told me a bit about what happened when she and her husband first met," Changmin admitted. "Keep on watching."

-oOo-

"I'm really curious though," Sooyeon stated, most of her attention on Changmin. "You seriously won't tell me?"

The banter continued for a few minutes until finally Yunho stepped in.

"What about me?" Yunho questioned, pouting. "Am I not good enough? I'd love to have a love line with Sooyeon-Noona. I'm a huge fan!"

"That's also true," Changmin added, pointing. "He's watched every one of your dramas and movies, even the ones in English."

"You won't pick me?" Yunho asked, throwing in a cute expression.

-oOo-

"Ah!~" Nayoung and Misun squealed. Jungmin looked at them oddly.

-oOo-

Sooyeon smiled before finally pulling out a card with a golden ribbon on it, presenting it to Yunho with a blush. Both Yunho and Changmin looked puzzled.

 ? ? ? 

"Open it," Sooyeon urged calmly. They threw another suspicious glance before opening it and reading it aloud.

"Dear [Fake Husband]," Yunho read, blinking with confusion.

"Ah, fake husband?!" Changmin realized, throwing the envelope at the female. "Sooyeon-Umma you liar! It's We Got Married!"

Sooyeon chuckled, clearly amused.

"Test, success," she declared, leaning back on her chair. "Continue reading."

"The person before you is your "fake wife" from now on. Enjoy your marriage. From We Got Married staff," Yunho read, completing the short letter. He looked up at her, tilting his head. "What do you mean by test? And which one of us is going on?"

"Ah! This fake show was your test," Changmin realized, frowning. Sooyeon nodded.

"I have found that Yunho-Sshi and Changmin-Sshi are very professional at first. However, Changmin-Sshi gets comfortable quickly while Yunho-Sshi remains polite as long as he can. However, the more you grow close, the more you find that he is actually quite childish and easily jealous," Sooyeon stated. "Also, both of you are honest and quite stubborn."

"Do you know which one of us it is?" Changmin asked.

"Of course," Sooyeon answered simply. 

"And it is?" Yunho asked. She gestured to the card in answer. Staring for a moment at the sticker reading [Fake Husband], the two boys looked at each other before finally ripping it off.

"U-know Yunho," Changmin read aloud, smirking. "So Hyung~ how do you feel actually getting married to your favorite actress?"

"Changmin!" Yunho squeaked, smacking the younger in the arm.

-oOo-

"Ah it was Yunho," Misun noted, sighing happily along with Nayoung.

"Why are you girls the ones happy?" Jungmin questioned.

"Because it's DBSK," Nayoung answered, giggling.

-oOo-

"Ah waiter? I messed up," Kikwang called, raising his hand sheepishly. "May I have another cup?"

The tall male from before silently delivered one. 

"Thank you," Kikwang thanked with a bright smile, taking it with two hands. He kept the one with the mistake a little off to the side, covered in a napkin. Yejin stared at Kikwang oddly.

"Do you seriously not recognize him?" Yejin questioned, tilting her head. Kikwang blinked.

"Should I?"

-oOo-

Writer Did you seriously not know who it was? 

Kikwang gave a sheepishly laugh, rubbing the back of his neck with embarrassment.

"Absolutely no idea," Kikwant admitted. "I thought he was just the waiter."

Writer And when you found out who he was? 

Kikwang chuckled again, turning red.

"I was embarrassed of course," he answered, his laughter dying down. "She's my wife and I couldn't even recognize him. In a way, I thought it showed that I didn't have interest in her and I didn't want her to think that."

He nodded sheepishly again, his lips pursing together.

-oOo-

"I'm done," Yejin declared with a proud smile. 

"One more minute," Kikwang stated, finishing off his masterpiece still. Yejin smiled a bit and took out her phone, taking a picture of him working carefully over the cup without him noticing. She giggled to herself.

-oOo-

Writer Seeing him work hard at latte art was...fun? 

"Of couse," Yejin answered, smiling again at the memory. "He's working hard, partly, because he wants to show me right?"

She laughed.

"I think that was why it was cute."

-oOo-

"Done," Kikwang declared, smiling. The two looked at each other for a second, smiling and turning red. A napkin covered the cups.

 Smile  Smile 

The two gave an awkward laugh.

"First, you should..." Yejin trailed off.

"Oh no, you should," Kikwang suggested politely.

-oOo-

Writer Why so awkward suddenly? 

Kikwang laughed. 

"Was it obvious?" he asked, still smiling and red. "After we were done making the lattes, it was like we suddenly realized the situation - ah, we really are married - something like that. And we suddenly had nothing to occupy our hands with either. So yes, we became awkward."

-oOo-

Yejin smiled, blushing.

"The whole thing kind of felt like a dream," she explained. "An out-of-body experience?" 

She laughed.

-oOo-

"We'll show ours at once then," Kikwang decided.

"Yessir," Yejin agreed.

"Ah, and don't be formal, even as a joke," Kikwang stated. "We're a married couple now."

Yejin laughed, turning redder, but for some reason, it didn't seem like she hated it.

"Ok," she stated, smiling. "1. 2. 3."

 

Kikwang burst out laughing.

"Do I really look like a monkey?" he asked, surprised.

"Ah, it's because you're very bright and not afraid to make a fool of yourself to have fun," Yejin explained, smiling brightly. Her eyes glanced at his cup. "So I'm a cat?"

Bright, Brave, Fun

"This is just based on first impression," Kikwang warned. "But you seem very playful but independent. And for some reason, I feel that you might be affectionate...?"

Playful, Independent, Affectionate

She laughed at his explanation that had somehow become a question before the two drank each other's lattes, laughing and making random small talk.

"I'll be right back," Yejin excused shyly for the bathroom, gettting up.

"Take your time," Kikwang advised, not at all awkward. Once she was out of sight, he called the waiter over. 

"Can you heat up this cup?" he asked, handing him the covered one he had made a mistake on earlier. The waiter nodded and did so, coming back rather quickly. Kikwang smiled with satisfaction and switched Yejin's cat latte with the 'mistake.'

"I'm back," Yejin announced jokingly, taking a seat. 

"You're back," Kikwang played along, drinking his latte. Yejin reached for hers, eyes still shyly locked on Kikwang's.

"Ah wait," Kikwang finally caved, making her put down the drink with curiosity. He laughed. "Shouldn't you look at what you drink?"

She blinked and glanced before doing a double take.

She gasped.

Touched

"When did you make this?" she asked, surprised. He smiled sheepishly.

"I heard that it was your birthday so I couldn't just let it go," he admitted. "And it was a bit too late to do something extravagant so this was the least I could do."
