Lets get married Masterlist
You get off your van after a 2 hour drive to a ski resort. It was sunny but also very cold, considering it was still March. Still a very beautiful day out. You could see the slopes covered in snow. You put your hand on your head to give your eyes shade from all the sun and look at the slopes. Â
You feel your phone buzz in your pocket. âIts Woo-sungâ you mutter to yourself. Kim Woo-sung was the lead singer from the popular band, âThe Roseâ and a close friend. Being a Korean that has lived your developmental years in London. You and Woo-sung clicked on multiple levels and became really fast friends. Youâve been friends for about 7 years now and also collaborated on music together. He was one of your close friends.Â
You had told him about you doing this show and meet a husband when you met him over lunch a week ago and all he did was laugh at your face.Â
âItâll be funâ you tried to justify it but that didnât stop him from telling you how crazy this idea was. âJust make sure you donât ACTUALLY fall for this guyâ he warned you while taking a bite of his food.Â
âDepends on who it isâ you smirk and he shakes his head.Â
âYouâre in trouble alreadyâÂ
âIts a TV show, heâs going to be very handsome!â You counter.Â
âIf youâre going to fall in love with every handsome guy there is, we have a problemâ he says pointing at himself, claiming heâs handsome too.Â
You laugh at that and like clock work accidentally also inhale the food you were eating and end up choking on it.Â
âYah, it's not that unbelievable for you to choke like thisâ he sneers at you.
You settle down smiling and shaking your head.
You bring out the phone from the pocket of your beige puff jacket and look at it. It was so bright out you couldnât see the screen, you have to put your other hand over the screen to text him back. He had sent a âfighting~â text for you to meet your husband. You chuckle at that and respond a quick thank you.
You had never gone skiing before and but you did a lot of skateboarding before, it should be similar right?Â
You end up going to the green room they prepped for you to change into a ski suit with the goggles. Your hair was in braids. You were very nervous to meet this husband of yours. This was as good as an arranged marriage by the production crew. You chuckle at your thought. You made a mental list of people they could possible arrange for. Ha seok jin? Lee sang yeob? You were friends with both having worked on previous projects together.Â
You slowly walk out to go to the place where they were filming. One of the staff members come up to you and tell you that you can be and say whatever you want. Try to guess who is it, he would also try to guess who you are and you can reveal when we ask you to, okay?â You nod at her Instructions and go on in front of the camera. You start monologuing waiting for your husband. âIâm hoping itâs someone I already know so thereâs no awkward phase, Im really quiet with new people initiallyâ you say to the camera.Â
âBut I will try my best today!â You exclaim and shoot finger guns at the camera. Soon enough, a man clad in a similar suit walks into view with a snowboard in hand. You were so nervous, you hadnât been this nervous since your first stage as a kpop idol. You started to shift weight from leg to leg, almost bouncing in place.Â
âWho is this? Im so curiousâ you say out loud to no one in particular. You hear the man chuckle. It was a deep chuckle. âWhat? The chuckle is also so attractive, what do I do?â You say to yourself forgetting you had a mic on you and it would be heard.Â
âHello!â the man says and bows to you. You bow back at him getting surprised. âWait, I recognise this voiceâ you say trying really hard to think where youâve heard it before so you can guess who it is.Â
âDonât guess so early or we wonât have content to shoot todayâ the man says in a different voice this time so you donât catch on. âThats not fair youâre changing your voiceâ you whine playfully.Â
You check him out from head to toe. âWait a minute weâre wearing similar suits, is this a couples suitâ he asks and stands next to you.You chuckle this time.Â
âI am-â you bow and realise youâre not supposed to introduce yourself. âI almost introduced myselfâ you giggle at yourself. âI must be very nervousâÂ
You laughs with you. âDonât beâ there is a bit of awkward silence before he asks you to get on the gondola with you to get to the top of the slope. You nod and follow him with your board.Â
âHave you been snowboarding before?â He asks you. You shake your head keeping talking to the minimal because you still didnât know who this person is. âI skateboard though, it should be pretty similarâ you reply.Â
âIt is, donât worryâ you smile at him.Â
âCan you give me a hint about your identityâ he asks you while the gondola moves upwards. Heights scare you a little so you are holding on to the railing for dear life. You could barely concentrate on the conversation. âI am.. a musician turned actressâ you say without thinking. Thats a big hint. âDid you recently do a drama?â He continues but you stop him. âMy turn, what do you do?â You ask trying not to look at the height youâre at.Â
âIâm an actor tooâ you hear his voice. His voice seems so familiar to you, but you canât pinpoint.Â
âAh, sunbaenimâ you say and bow your head while sitting to show respect. âPlease donâtâ he chuckles to fill the awkward air.Â
âAre you scared of heights?â He asks you, looking at how uncomfortable you were in the ride. You nod to that question. âA little bitâÂ
âDo you have a dog?â You ask him and he nods. âI doâ he stopped himself before spilling the name. âDamn it I thought youâd tell me its nameâ you say to him and you hear his chuckle again.Â
âHave we met? You seem so familiarâ you say but he interrupts.Â
âIts my turn to ask, what agency are you underâ that question could possibly barrow down a lot of people. Right on cue, it was time to get off the ride because you were on the top.Â
âWhats your personality type?â You ask while getting down and he helps you with your board so you donât fall over.Â
âENTPâ he tells you and you almost jump in excitement and let out a squeal. âWhat? What happened?â He sounded startled. âIâm an INFJ, ENTPs are my most compatible type, but I have no ENTP friendsâ you exclaim. Youâre usually not this talkative. Why is it so easy to talk to him? Is it because youâre curious? Or is it because you donât even know who it is? You couldnât figure it out. He keeps chuckling at you. âCuteâ you hear him say and that makes you blush a little.Â
The PD asks you if you have a guess and both of you nod.Â
âLoser goes firstâ you hear him say. And you like a challenge. âCallâÂ
âAnswer!â You raise your hand. âSeo Kang Joon sunbaenimâ you answer expectantly. You hear the âddaengâ sound and you hiss. You got it wrong. It wasnât Seo Kang Joon. You look over and the man next to yells âAnswerâÂ
âKim Sejeongâ you chuckle because its clearly the wrong answer. Youâre not Kim sejeong.Â
âWhat? I thought I was on the moneyâ he mutters to himself while you hear it and giggle. âI guess weâll have to go togetherâ he says.Â
âYou can reveal your faces nowâ the PD says and you ask yourself if this is the masked singer.Â
âLadies firstâ the man next to you says.
âEveryone. Are you ready?â You ask the camera as you take off your goggleâs and pull down your jacket to reveal your face.Â
âTada! Iâm (your full name) nice to meet youâ you say into the camera first before looking over at him.Â
âAh, right, candy candy candyâ he sings one of your songs and does the dance as well. That makes you happy and proud. âYouâre rightâ you exclaim and do the step with him both of you laughing. You were very eager to meet your husband.Â
âAigoo, My wife is prettyâ he says as he takes of his goggles and pulls his jacket down enough to see his dimpled smile and puppy eyes.Â
âWhat?â You could barely get a word out. You almost choked on your own spit. I think its time to wake up if this is a vivid dream. You tell yourself. âWhat are you doing here?â You ask straight up then you realise you barely know him. âIs this why I found your voice so familiar, what?â You are still in disbelief. You end up turning and walking in your place trying to calm yourself down. You could feel your legs give out. Six months of living with him? This is definitely a vivid dream. Wake up. Itâs not funny anymore.Â
âIâm Lee Do Hyunâ he introduces himself while you are punching the snow under you because your legs gave out you. You were hiding your face because it had gone so red. It felt like all the blood in your body was now in your face.Â
âNo wayâ you keep saying holding your face and it compose yourself and get back up. All you hear is his chuckling. He holds his hand out for you to shake. You hesitantly give him one of your hands to shake.Â
âIm sorryâ you apologise for your behaviour but you were absolutely thrilled.Â
âI heard Iâm your ideal typeâ he mentions and your face flushes again. âWell yeahâ you mutter somehow.Â
âThats good to know, I think weâll get along really wellâ he says and lets go of your hand.Â
You nod being all shy. Youâre still in disbelief but your luck has shined. You didnât realise if you kept saying he was your ideal type heâs end up in your life like this.Â
âYou were talkative a minute ago what happened? Am I scary?â He asks smiling. Honestly you could stare at those puppy eyes all day. You snap out of it and say ânothing, Iâm just a little shocked that youâre hereâ you quietly say feeling very conscious about yourself.Â
âIâm glad Iâm here tooâ he smiles. âItâs penalty timeâ he says holds out his hand again for you to take it.Â
âYouâve never snowboarded before right?â He asks you and you shake your head. Your eyes and cheeks were all red and you know its not because of the cold. Itâs because of the man standing in front of you holding his hand out for you to take. You put your hand in his and he guides you to the edge of the slope. You strap yourself in and he does it too.
âJump and push yourself down the slopeâ he says. âThe rest is just like skateboardingâÂ
You nod and do as he tells you, you go a few meters and fall on your butt. This was so embarrassing. âWhy am I here? What I am doingâ you mutter to yourself while getting up and shaking off the snow from your body.Â
âWas snowboarding your date idea?â You ask him.Â
Before the shooting started, the staff asked you to list down a bunch of date ideas you wanted to try out.Â
âIt wasâ he nods and takes off like a pro snowboarding.Â
You try your best and realise its really not the same as skateboarding. You kept falling but the best part was that DoHyun offered a helping hand almost every time you fell. You had more reasons to fall. He was now teaching your holding both your hands how to balance on the snowboard. This time you almost fell face first but his had a tight grip on your hands and didnât let you fall. âThis is so toughâ you say. âIts nothing like skateboardingâ you playfully glare at him.Â
âYouâre just bad at thisâ he claps back teasing you. You fake gasp. âRudeâ but so handsome.Â
You give up and sit on your butt with the board still attached to your feet watching do hyun have the time of his life. You decide to be a little mischievous and roll up a ball of snow to throw at him. You see him from far away hurling towards you at full speed, you are ready to scream at collision and your hands come up to your body and face instinctively to protect yourself. But the collision never happened, he stopped perfectly in front of you. âYou scared meâ you say smiling and throw a bit of snow at him.Â
He giggles and throws some snow at you as well. You unbuckle your board and say âyouâre dead Lee Do Hyunâ, your playfulness over takes your shyness in front of him and you chase him down to throw some snow at him.Â
The day ended in giggles and laughter, which you were grateful about. You also clicked a few pictures for Instagram. You still couldnât believe you were on a date with your ideal type and you will be shooting everyday for the next six months. It was absurd.Â
They decided to put you in a bus and film you on the way back and also get some late lunch together. This would be your first meal together. You decide to change back into your casual comfortable jeans and head to the bus, he was already sitting on the seat. âI saved you a seatâ you hear him say and that makes you laugh. The whole bus was for the both of you. There was no need for him to save a seat for you.Â
You sit down and fix your hair before leaning on the seat. He plays drums on his thighs and suddenly turns to look at you. âAre you allergic to anything?â He asks you and you shake your head.Â
âIâm just trying to be a good husband, a good husband should knowâ he teases and this is the nth number of time youâve gotten as red as a tomato because of something Dohyun has said.Â
You only get a week of dating before you move in. Itâs as good as speed dating.Â
âWhat are you saying?â You mutter totally caught off guard by his husband comment and his cheesy lines.Â
âHow old are you?â He asks in the most polite tone possible. You realise something.Â
âAh right, weâre the same ageâ you realise you can drop the honourifics.Â
âThats great, would you like to drop the honourifics?â He asks you. âLets be friendsâ he continues.
âYah Lee Do hyun, whats the matter with you?â You ask teasingly in a very friendly and not so polite tone.Â
âI like that, I like things like thisâ he says smiling.Â
âYah (yn) what are you doing let's listen to some of your songsâ he tries to get rid of the awkwardness in the air.Â
You giggle at his attempt and the way he dropped honourifics almost immediately.Â
âYah Lee Do hyunâ you almost yell at him. âWhat (yfn)?â He responds in the same tone. There was silence.
Your eyes met. You wanted to laugh so hard, you could barely stifle it. You end up laughing together losing it at the same time.Â
âGood, I like thisâ he says and pulls out his phone and air-pods. He offers one to you and you put it in your ear.
âOkay, guess the song, Iâll play a secondâ he says starting another game. You nod. âOkayâÂ
He plays a few of your songs, you dance to a few of your songs together sitting in the bus seat and a few new songs youâve never heard before. It was fun, he was fun to be around. His randomness made you laugh a lot. Best part is he knew all the girl group dances. Slowly there is silence in the bus because both of you got sleepy. You end up taking a power nap for 30 minutes before arriving at Seoul for lunch.Â
You end up ordering a lot and the food comes in. You both eat very silently because you were that hungry and tired.Â
âYou eat very wellâ he says and you nod. âIve been noticing you only respond to what I say, why donât you talk to me?â He playfully pouts.Â
Your heart melts. Youâve seen it on TV before but no way did you think youâd see that in real life.Â
âYah, say something, itâs awkwardâ he says shuddering. You apologise because you ended up staring at him for a bit too long.Â
âDo you want to exchange phone numbers?â You ask and he nods. âRight, how will I contact my wife if I donât have her number?â he says hastily and passes the phone to you. As soon as you open the phone, it gets snatched away again and you see him hold his phone and secretly check something while hiding it from you.Â
You playfully smack his thigh softly.Â
âYah I didnât see anything, were you watch some weird things?â You ask smirking.Â
âNo I was notâ you hear him say while he taps away at his phone before returning it to you.
You save yourself as your name but he notices that. âSave it as wife with a heart cmonâ he teases and you blush furiously. His whole body cringes at what he said. âCant believe I said thatâ and you laugh at that. Regardless you change your name to wife and a heart and he sends you a sticker on chat so you can save his number. âYou better save it as husband with a heartâ he threatens.Â
âSureâ you say and save it as his name instead. âDoneâ you say and put your phone down. He immediately gives you a call so your phone lights up. It was just his name and sunbaenim.Â
âYah, my wife is a cold person, whyâd you add sunbaenim too?â He pretends to be hurt. âIm woundedâ he holds his chest acting like it hurts.Â
âFine fine, stop the acting, misterâ you say and pick up your phone to change the name again, this time to âhusband <3â aa he looks into your phone over your shoulder. âHappy?â You ask showing him the phone. âVery much so, thank youâ he says grinning.Â
You finish eating and part ways with Do hyun.Â
âToday was fun, work didnât feel like workâ he says and you nod. âI agree, I think we should keep this fun, like an escape from our normal schedulesâ you say.Â
âSounds like a good plan, wifeâ he says and you smack his arm. âStopâ you say to him blushing. âWhat? Iâm just getting used to itâ he defends and you couldnât stop smiling, your jaw was hurting from how much you smiled and laughed around him today.Â
You end up exchanging a bunch of stickers on chat and go about the rest of your schedule with the date constantly replaying on your mind.Â
âAnd it was ACTUALLY Lee Do hyunâ you squeal at Woosung who had come over to hang out to drink beer and eat chicken. You were currently on the floor laying in disbelief because you were still not over the fact that your pretend âhusbandâ was going to Lee Do hyun. You kick your feet because you didnât know what to do. You were so excited for thisÂ
âI think I manifested him into my life at this pointâÂ
âI do remember you being absolutely obsessed with him a year agoâÂ
âDoes this mean youâre actually going to try to fall in love with this man?â He asks you and you put your hands over your eyes laying down.Â
âI love him as a fan, A big fan, but this is differentâ there is silence. You sit up suddenly realising something.Â
âWhat if⊠heâs not the person I have in my mind?â You were concerned that knowing him would change things.
âIt will shatter your delusion, for sureâ he calls you out.Â
You throw a pillow at him. âYou donât have to be this real.âÂ
You kept thinking about this before bed all tucked in, you had an idea of what Lee Do Hyun is like on camera, you didnât not know him off camera. What if heâs not to person youâve seen in interviews, of course there is more to a person but it scared you. What if he is completely different than what you had imagined, it would break your heart.Â
You are snapped out of your thoughts when your phone buzzes.
It was a text from your âhusbandâÂ
But what if he is exactly how you think of him?
