No, isn’t he your husband?

 

Ki Seong-ho, still only in his late twenties.

 

Having become the CEO of fashion brand 【Mashed】, he appeared on the dating show 【Love Code】.

 

He promoted his image as a young and successful CEO, and used that as a starting point for explosive external activities.

 

He appeared everywhere he could to promote his brand’s name.

 

He was putting forth comprehensive efforts for the brand’s growth in earnest.

 

And among those efforts, what he was putting the most heart into lately was recruiting Mungi.

 

‘If I center Mungi as a fashion model and develop from there…’

 

In fact, being a model was a profession that was hard to become famous with in Korea.

 

Model+something else becomes famous, but modeling itself doesn’t have much buzz these days.

 

In such a situation, to establish a man with perfect looks like Mungi as the representative model?

 

This really couldn’t help but become a hot topic.

 

Moreover.

 

Since 【Mashed】 specialized in men’s clothing.

 

Mungi’s presence could truly be called essential.

 

Especially now when many companies around were targeting Mungi.

 

Honestly, despite not being able to offer much money due to the nature of a brand that was just starting to grow.

 

The fact that Ki Seong-ho could have a meeting with Mungi like this was purely 100% thanks to their personal connection.

 

So.

 

“No, why did they suddenly ask to move up the meeting time…”

 

“Right, it already doesn’t feel good to make Mungi wait when he comes.”

 

Right now, Ki Seong-ho was anxious.

 

With a meeting to establish overseas routes suddenly being moved up.

 

【Mashed】, being in the weaker position, had no choice but to follow that schedule.

 

So now he was making Mungi, one of 【Mashed】’s most important turning points, wait in the waiting room.

 

“Oh right, you remember I told you to treat him with utmost care, right? So he’s obviously waiting in the CEO office, right? Mungi?”

 

Even while heading toward where Mungi was, he felt unnecessarily anxious.

 

But.

 

“…I just checked and he’s just in the waiting room… with the model… together… they said.”

 

At the shocking answer, Ki Seong-ho stopped his quickly moving steps.

 

“What?”

 

【Mashed】 was a company without many people.

 

Well, like all startup companies, there were parts where proper protective systems weren’t established yet.

 

In that process, mistakes happened, and they couldn’t properly hire people, so there were some really strange employees.

 

Still, Ki Seong-ho endured it.

 

It was a situation where he had no choice but to endure, and he thought promoting the company itself was the priority.

 

But now.

 

“…Do you think this is playing games? It’s not like we’re doing that quiz where you close your ears and pass words… What?”

 

For the very first time, he was truly angry at his employees.

 

‘Is it because Mungi is young? Mid-twenties… But since he’s famous, because it’s internet broadcasting? No, maybe I still can’t grasp just how… famous Mungi is?’

 

Various thoughts ran through my head, but what was important right now was running immediately.

 

To where Mungi was, to the waiting room.

 

Fortunately, I was able to arrive quickly.

 

Ki Seong-ho opened the door to the waiting room without hesitation.

 

Slam.

 

“…”

 

As soon as I opened the door, I realized the situation was not going very well.

 

Mungi smiling with a gentle expression and a group of models looking flustered as they watched him.

 

Since Ki Seong-ho had grown his fashion brand starting from his modeling career.

 

He could immediately understand what the current situation was.

 

‘…Getting angry here would show an unseemly side as a CEO, so first I should call Mungi separately to the CEO office…’

 

The moment tens of thousands of response strategies floated through Ki Seong-ho’s mind.

 

“Seong-ho hyung, should I beat them up as Jongpil for revenge?”

 

Mungi’s playful words followed.

 

And those words gave Ki Seong-ho a shock like being struck on the head with a hammer.

 

Starting from the situation where Mungi was confronting the models.

 

The fact that he had arrived late, and that the models were, regardless of anything else, affiliated with 【Mashed】.

 

And finally, Mungi’s expression – saying all this lightly but his eyes weren’t smiling.

 

All of this combined to instantly turn Ki Seong-ho’s face red.

 

There was no shame like this shame.

 

What kind of CEO invites a guest, commits rudeness, and then has to receive consideration from that guest?

 

“Ah, ah… haha, so first um… Mungi, let me just… just a moment, yes… um, just a little.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“So um… first, could you take our Mungi, who came as my precious guest, to the CEO office?”

 

Getting Mungi out of this situation was the first priority.

 

And once he confirmed Mungi had left, the next thing to do was.

 

“…Do you know you just cracked a deal worth hundreds of millions? I told you to tone down the hazing, said it was all childish games… But you did that… to a guest I had difficulty bringing here?”

 

It was a strict establishment of hierarchy.

 

++++++

 

“Ah, hyung, this really looks like abuse of power from anywhere you look…”

 

“How is this abuse of power? It’s something that naturally had to be done.”

 

“No, no, how is this something that naturally had to be done? Those people were in the wrong, so why are you going this far, hyung?”

 

“…What needs to be done must be done. This is the right way. Only by doing this much will my apology be more clearly visible, right?”

 

“Even so, what if you bow like that! No, what is this… It would at least be funny if you did a grand bow!”

 

“I fired them all. I was only keeping them temporarily until I needed new models anyway… Ah, do you want me to do a grand bow?”

 

“Never mind, just get up, please!”

 

I felt it during 【Love Code】 too, but he really is someone who likes living honestly and uprightly.

 

After barely managing to get Seong-ho hyung to stand up.

 

“I’m not the type to hold grudges like that, I’m really fine so let’s just go straight to the business meeting.”

 

“R-really? Is that okay? You’ll work with us?”

 

“We agreed to do it, the modeling. Of course, the contract side… we’ll discuss that when the lawyer arrives.”

 

“Thank you!”

 

We immediately discussed the future direction as Mashed’s representative model.

 

Actually, there was no need for such a grandiose expression as “discussion.”

 

This time Mashed is thinking of releasing a new Premium Men’s Clothing Line.

 

We want to promote it with you as the main model, we can’t pay much for the contract fee.

 

But like movie guarantee format, we’re planning to give you a percentage of the sales.

 

What do you think.

 

Just about that level of conversation.

 

I came here planning to model from the beginning, so I said I understood.

 

Our lawyer who arrived right on time coordinated all the detailed matters.

 

The meeting with Seong-ho ended quickly like that.

 

Then we immediately got treated to an expensive meal.

 

I came home and shared some broadcast stories to an appropriate degree that wouldn’t harm business.

 

“So I faced off with that model, and there was kind of a power struggle.”

 

– Munggi’s power struggle ㄷㄷ

 

– So fluffy ㄷㄷㄷ

 

– But what was he thinking doing that

 

– Suddenly giving life advice to the CEO’s parachute hire is pretty funny

 

– Mungi’s fists are hammer-sized, didn’t he think about getting advice from that

 

– That’s kind of cute though

 

“Don’t make too harsh disparaging comments, it makes you look weak.”

 

– Hahahahahahaha

 

– Eizen Mungske shivering/trembling

 

– Mungizen ㄷㄷㄷ

 

“Anyway, isn’t the lunch box interview day coming up soon? I wonder what kind of cooking our brides brought…”

 

– Lunch box interview lol

 

– But you have to bring a lunch box too, did you prepare?

 

“I prepared, it’s going to be amazing. I’m good at cooking too.”

 

– If you’re good, just how good are you

 

– Ta-da-da† If you’re so good at it, why didn’t you share some lunch boxes with people around you in advance lol

 

“Ah, should I do that? Our editor Mungop, Game Teacher, and manager Ttaranta, want me to make lunch boxes? Since I’m making them anyway?”

 

– Mungop† you said it, right? That you’d give lunch boxes Mungop, you said it first, right? You seduced him first?

 

– Gasp

 

– Great Mung Op

 

– Hahahahahahahaha

 

– Has Op-hwang arrived

 

After sharing stories like that for a while, I ended the broadcast when it was an appropriate time.

 

I actually wanted to use making lunch boxes as broadcast content too.

 

But then the lunch box contents would be revealed.

 

Unfortunately, all the lunch box making scenes had to be done off-stream.

 

Anyway, time passed quickly and the day of the lunch box interview arrived.

 

“Then let’s meet on the Garden Official Broadcasting Channel.”

 

– Do a Mung Kiss before you go!

 

– I’ll just do it myself, Mung Kiss *3*

 

– Deep Mung Kiss =3=

 

– How about this? Swollen face Mung Kiss ³3³

 

– Mung lump :3

 

– But with this kind of flow, doesn’t it always come?

 

– It seems like it should come

 

– Have you found the Spine Fairy? As soon as you see it, straighten your back, straighten your shoulders, tilt your head back to take care of your health?

 

– Ah

 

– Huh

 

– This isn’t right…

 

– Munggi’s just being totally crazy lol ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ /This viewer has been banned

 

– You’ve come, Yeol-sa

 

– You’re the hero of our Mungmut Leaf Village

 

– Drums of Liberation ㄷㄷ

 

I immediately turned off the broadcast and headed to the studio.

 

But to think they prepared a separate studio, just how much preparation did they do?

 

‘To think this almost disappeared without being utilized, it must have been really disappointing.’

 

It was a moment when I thought the Virtual Marriage Team Leader’s complaints through messages weren’t for nothing.

 

+++++

 

【Garden】 Virtual Marriage Studio.

 

That place was called a studio, but it was just a level of temporarily renting an idle detached house.

 

It meant they rented accommodation like during 【Love Code】.

 

The difference was that back then the gender ratio was perfectly matched.

 

Now it’s 1:3, and the atmosphere is a bit lighter than back then.

 

But nevertheless, on the day of Virtual Marriage filming.

 

The atmosphere itself was quite stiff.

 

“Hi Jjining and Mumiming.”

 

“Oh my, hello sister!”

 

“Sister EV, I didn’t expect to see you here!”

 

It was because there was a strange current flowing between the female cast members.

 

To be precise, it was EV and Jjining, excluding Mumiming.

 

A situation occurred where they were smiling at each other but their eyes were coldly frozen.

 

Both claim to have no dating experience.

 

But still, if you’re human, you have intuition, so you can’t help but notice.

 

‘Jjining, I’m sorry but Mungi… he’s my savior who rescued me from Stalker, our relationship runs really deep.’

 

‘EV unnie, I’m Mungi oppa’s official daughter.’

 

That they both had feelings for Mungi.

 

A subtle war of nerves.

 

If it was like this before filming, what would happen after the camera turned on?

 

The Virtual Marriage Team Leader’s worry about that was brief.

 

“Did you both prepare your lunch boxes well? I heard that Mungi eats way too much… wow, I really couldn’t imagine the amount.”

 

Thanks to Mumiming being there to lighten the mood, the atmosphere quickly relaxed.

 

And as the appointed time gradually approached.

 

“Mungi has arrived!”

 

Mungi arrived.

 

“Mungi!”

 

The atmosphere changed 180 degrees as soon as Mungi appeared.

 

Was it because the alpha male at the center of the pack had appeared?

 

All the subtle tension from just moments before completely disappeared.

 

“But this place… wow, it really feels almost like Love Code. Oh right, this is the lunch box I made.”

 

Mungi very naturally handed over the lunch box he had made.

 

Then looked around.

 

“But how should we decide on the concept for this?”

 

“Huh?”

 

He suddenly brought up talk about concept.

 

“What kind of concept are you talking about…?”

 

“Ah, since this is 1:3, I think it might be a bit boring if we just go with pure innocence.”

 

“Ah… is that… so?”

 

Boring? It seemed like it would be entertaining just having Mungi’s face on screen.

 

The Team Leader and PD wondered if a concept was really necessary, but decided to listen to what Mungi had to say.

 

“How about we go with a feeling of completely controlling women? Like a commander vibe… kind of like a Goddess of Victory commander style.”

 

“Huh, what?”

 

“Ah… um, there’s something like that.”

 

After chatting appropriately like that.

 

Finally.

 

“Alright then, we’ll start broadcasting in 5 seconds”

 

With the countdown, Virtual Marriage officially began.

 

5!

 

4!

 

“Then shall I try going with my style first?”

 

“Yes, please do that!”

 

A brief conversation that took place as the countdown continued.

 

The team leader didn’t know what Mungi’s style was, but trusted his broadcasting sense for now.

 

3!

 

2!

 

1!

 

“Cue!”

 

As soon as the live Virtual Marriage content began.

 

“Who is the woman that will share my bed tonight.”

 

Along with that shocking line.

 

Swoosh.

 

Mungi casually took off the hoodie he was wearing.

 

And revealed underneath, violent muscles that could never be hidden by just a white t-shirt.

 

“Bring your lunch boxes and line up in single file in front of me.”

 

It was the moment Mung Instructor descended upon Virtual Marriage.

 

‘Wait, isn’t he supposed to be a husband?’

 

The PD’s confusion was a bonus.
