---
Scene: Café – Joon's Brain Malfunctions
📍 LOCATION: FANCY CAFÉ – STILL TRAUMATIZED FROM THE PROPOSAL
🔥 Joon is frozen, staring at Song Hye-Rin like she just asked him to rob a bank.
💬 Joon (thinking): "This is a trap. This is 100% a trap. There is no way this is happening to me."
🔥 Hye-Rin raises an eyebrow.
💬 Hye-Rin: "You look like I just asked you to jump off a cliff."
💬 Joon: "Oh no, this is worse."
🔥 Hye-Rin chuckles.
💬 Hye-Rin: "Relax, it's just a business deal. We fake-date for a few months, shake off some rumors, and boost your popularity in return."
🔥 Joon squints.
💬 Joon: "You make it sound like we're signing a gym membership."
🔥 Hye-Rin smirks.
💬 Hye-Rin: "Exactly. No refunds, no cancellations."
🔥 Joon chokes on his iced coffee.
📢 SYSTEM ALERT:
📢 [DING! QUEST UPDATED: 'FAKE DATING – ACCEPT OR SUFFER!']
💬 Joon (thinking): "Okay, let's break this down. If I say no, I'll offend one of the biggest celebrities in Korea. If I say yes, my life turns into a K-drama disaster. Either way, I lose."
🔥 Joon takes a deep breath.
💬 Joon: "Okay, I'll do it. But under one condition."
🔥 Hye-Rin blinks.
💬 Hye-Rin: "Oh? Let's hear it."
💬 Joon: "No kissing. No hand-holding. No 'accidentally falling in love' nonsense."
🔥 Hye-Rin bursts into laughter.
💬 Hye-Rin: "Oh, sweetheart. You're adorable."
🔥 Joon doesn't like that tone.
📢 SYSTEM ALERT:
📢 [WARNING: FEMALE LEAD HAS ENTERED 'TEASING MODE']
🔥 Joon is doomed.

💬 Mr. Choi: "Sir… I still don't understand why we're trying to ruin our own trainee."
🔥 CEO Kang grins.
💬 CEO Kang: "Scandals create stars. Look at all the famous idols—half of them started their careers with controversy!"
🔥 Mr. Choi hesitates.
💬 Mr. Choi: "And… what scandal are we going with?"
🔥 CEO Kang points to three options on the board:
1. Dating Scandal (Too common, must be spicy.)
2. Family Secret Scandal (Does he have an evil twin?)
3. Rigged Competition Scandal (Drama guaranteed.)
🔥 Mr. Choi gulps.
💬 Mr. Choi: "Sir… this might backfire."
🔥 CEO Kang smirks.
💬 CEO Kang: "That's the fun part."
