**Fake dating?…what could possibly go wrong** Kim Mingwa is a struggling D-list artist whose career is hanging by a thread. Desperate to keep her place in the spotlight, she accidentally finds herself entangled with the most notorious playboy in the industry—the CEO of the number one entertainment company in the country. Known for his bad reputation and inflated ego, the CEO is the last person she wants to be associated with, but when a scandal between them explodes in the media, they’re forced to fake a relationship to salvage both their careers. --- Kim Mingwa stared in horror at the headline: *Scandal Erupts Between D-List Actress and Industry’s Bad Boy CEO!* “This isn’t happening,” she whispered, her voice shaking. Beside her, the CEO only smirked, completely unfazed. “Welcome to showbiz, Miss Kim.” Mingwa glared at him. “You think this is funny? My career is on the line!” “It’s simple,” he replied, his tone cold. “Play along, or get left behind.” She clenched her fists, knowing she was trapped. “Fine,” she muttered. “But don’t think you can easily take advantage of me.” His smirk widened. “I wouldn’t dream of it..”
For a second, Mingwa just stood there, frozen by the whirlwind of emotions. But before she could say anything, Taewoo paused, glancing over his shoulder. "Bum!" he called out sharply, his voice echoing through the room. "Come drive my lady home."
Within moments, Bum appeared, bowing slightly before turning to Mingwa. "I'll escort you, Miss Kim," he said politely, gesturing toward the door.
As Mingwa turned to leave, Taewoo's voice called out to her once more. "Mingwa," he said softly, stopping her in her tracks.
She turned to face him, only to see him raise a finger to his lips in a quiet, almost playful gesture. "Don't tell anyone what you saw here," he murmured, his tone laced with a hint of amusement. "It'll be our little secret."
