A big-shot and his young wife, tropes and subversions of tropes - when it comes to love, whoever falls first loses.
The first meeting:
From the female lead's perspective: Hmm, that ...
Oolong
On a lazy Sunday afternoon, G-Dragon and Su You decided to go to a high-end supermarket near their home to buy groceries for the following week. This is one of the little pleasures they've cultivated since getting married—like any ordinary couple, pushing a shopping cart, slowly selecting items, and discussing what to cook for dinner.
"How about we try making ginseng chicken soup?" G-Dragon picked up a bag of glutinous rice and suggested eagerly, "I recently learned a new recipe from Chef Kim."
Su You smiled and squeezed his hand: "Okay, but don't put the whole ginseng in like last time, it's too bitter."
The two, dressed in comfortable matching hoodies and baseball caps of the same style but different colors, pushed a shopping cart through the aisles. G-Dragon has grown accustomed to this ordinary happiness and has even begun to enjoy the feeling of being occasionally recognized in the supermarket—most fans are very polite, only taking photos from a distance or offering a simple greeting.
Sure enough, while they were selecting vegetables in the fresh produce section, a young couple recognized them. The girl excitedly covered her mouth, while the boy politely stepped forward: "Jiyong oppa, can we take a picture together?"
"Of course." G-Dragon smiled and agreed, naturally putting his arm around Su You's shoulder to include her in the shot.
After taking the photo, the girl noticed that Su You was gently pressing her abdomen and asked with concern, "Su You unnie, are you feeling unwell?"
Su You smiled sheepishly, "No, I just ate too much at noon." She did have a particularly good appetite today, and the spicy stir-fried pork that Kwon Ji-yong had just learned made her add half a bowl of rice.
G-Dragon affectionately ruffled her hair: "It's because you ate all the food I made."
This heartwarming scene was quietly captured by other fans nearby. In the photo, Su You has her head slightly lowered, her hand on her lower abdomen, while G-Dragon looks at her with a face full of doting affection.
Three days later, G-Dragon's studio.
Representative Cui rushed in, pushing open the door: "Jiyong, have you seen the news?"
G-Dragon looked up from his sheet music: "What news?"
Representative Cui handed him the tablet, the headline of which read: [G-Dragon's wife suspected of being pregnant! Intimate interactions at the supermarket, Su You's protective gestures towards her stomach are obvious!]
The accompanying photo was taken at the supermarket that day, and the angle was quite clever. Su You's hand was indeed placed on her slightly protruding belly, and G-Dragon's doting smile was interpreted as "the joy of an expectant father".
G-Dragon was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "What's this? I just ate too much pomelo that day!"
However, public opinion had already taken hold. Fans offered their blessings one after another:
[Congratulations, Brother Long! You're going to be a dad!]
No wonder he hasn't been holding any concerts lately; he's been staying home with his pregnant wife.
[Suyou unnie, please get some rest!]
Su You called quickly, her tone a mix of amusement and exasperation: "My colleagues keep asking me when I'm having the baby, what's going on?"
G-Dragon laughed and explained, "Everyone thought you were pregnant."
"What?" Su You exclaimed on the other end of the phone, "I just ate too much!"
That evening, G-Dragon's Instagram.
He uploaded a photo: a table laden with a dazzling array of dishes, clearly enough for two people. The caption read:
Thank you all for your concern, but I really need to clarify something:
1. The pomelo was just being too kind to me; it ate all the dishes I made.
2. We are indeed planning to have a baby, but so far...
3. This meal was the real culprit.
P.S.: Yuzu said she wouldn't dare eat so much next time.
This humorous clarification immediately elicited bursts of laughter from fans:
[Haha, turns out he was just too full!]
Just how good is Brother Long's cooking? He can make someone mistakenly think they're pregnant after eating him!
[Even though it was a misunderstanding, you guys are so sweet!]
Looking forward to the day when there's truly good news!
Su You also reposted this post, adding a facepalm emoji: [I need to control my food intake from now on...]
The next day, G-Dragon received a phone call from his mother.
"Jiyong," Kwon's mother said expectantly, "I saw the news... so it's fake?"
G-Dragon smiled helplessly: "Mom, it's fake. I just ate too many pomelos."
A disappointed sigh came from the other end of the phone: "So when are you going to let me hold my grandson?"
"Let nature take its course," G-Dragon said gently. "When there's really good news, I'll tell you first."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Su You, who was working in the study. Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on her, creating a serene and beautiful scene.
Perhaps this beautiful misunderstanding is a good omen. Kwon Ji-yong thought, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.
Su You seemed to sense his gaze, looked up and smiled slightly at him. At that moment, Kwon Ji-yong suddenly felt that if that day ever came, he would be very happy.
