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 ...
Rumors spread
After reaching the consensus of "letting things take their course," on the surface, G-Dragon and Su You's lives continued as usual. But observant people would notice that some subtle changes were quietly taking place between the couple.
The first to notice something was wrong were members of G-Dragon's studio team.
"Hyung, here's your iced Americano." As usual, at 2 p.m., the time when G-Dragon habitually starts to feel tired, his assistant handed him the energy drink.
G-Dragon stared at the black liquid, hesitated for a few seconds (a rare occurrence), and then pushed it away: "Today... please have hot milk instead, thank you."
"Cow...milk?" The assistant thought he had misheard. This workaholic, known for relying on caffeine to stay alive, was actually choosing milk at a crucial moment?
What happened next was even more surprising. The recording went on until 11 p.m., which is usually "late-night snack time" for fried chicken or pizza. When Seungri walked in excitedly with the takeout menu, G-Dragon pointed to the insulated bag in the corner: "Yuzu has prepared a nutritious bento box."
Everyone gathered around to take a look, and found that the insulated box was neatly filled with multigrain rice balls, steamed broccoli, grilled salmon, and fruit pieces.
“This…” Shengli’s eyes widened. “Brother, have you been cursed?”
G-Dragon coughed lightly, feigning seriousness: "Healthy eating, don't you understand?"
However, when he secretly searched for "male nutrition recipes for those trying to conceive" on his phone, his sharp-eyed stylist spotted him. Soon, the news that "the boss might be secretly taking care of his health" spread throughout the small team.
The changes on Suyou's side are equally obvious.
Colleagues at the think tank noticed that Dr. Su, who used to always have a coffee in hand, now has a huge thermos on his desk, filled with goji berries and red dates.
"Youyou, I'd like to order milk tea for afternoon tea. What flavor would you like?" a colleague greeted her warmly.
Su You hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand and said, "I...I brought my own homemade soy milk."
What pained her most was that, as a Sichuan girl who couldn't live without spicy food, she started to actively decline invitations to hot pot dinners at department gatherings, saying that she "wanted to eat something lighter lately." This unusual behavior immediately aroused speculation among her colleagues.
"Does Dr. Su have an upset stomach?"
"I've noticed she's been going to the hospital a lot lately. Could it be that she has a health problem?"
In reality, Su You simply underwent a comprehensive pre-pregnancy checkup and started taking folic acid as prescribed by her doctor. But to those unaware of the situation, all of this appeared to be a sign that her health was in serious trouble.
What truly sparked the controversy was a decision G-Dragon made.
At the annual music festival preparation meeting, he surprisingly suggested, "I'd like to adjust this year's closing performance. Some of the more difficult dance moves might not be suitable for my current state."
This statement shocked everyone present. Who didn't know that G-Dragon was a perfectionist when it came to stage effects, rehearsing until the early hours of the morning for a single difficult move? And now he was actually asking for simplification?
Given his recent decision to turn down invitations to nightclub openings, refuse drinking parties, adopt a light diet, and even give up his favorite coffee... a frightening speculation is circulating in the industry: Is G-Dragon's health in serious trouble?
Outrageous rumors and the concern of friends
Soon, all sorts of outrageous rumors began to circulate:
[It's rumored that GD's health is worrying and he's undergoing secret treatment.]
A top singer is suspected of having stomach cancer and has given up caffeine.
[Insider information: G-Dragon will suspend activities indefinitely]
These rumors even alarmed friends overseas. CL called directly from overseas: "Jiyong, are you alright? Do you need me to introduce you to an expert in Seoul?"
G-Dragon was both amused and exasperated: "I'm perfectly healthy!"
"Then why does everyone say that you..."
"I was... taking care of my health!" After struggling for a while, G-Dragon could only offer this weak explanation.
However, his friends didn't believe him. So, a "consolation visit to G-Dragon" was spontaneously organized.
A hilarious scene during a hospital visit
Over the weekend, the doorbell at G-Dragon and Su You's house rang incessantly.
First, Taeyang and Min Hyo-rin arrived carrying bags of nutritional supplements. As soon as they entered, they looked at him with concern: "Jiyong, why do you look so pale? You've lost so much weight!"
Then TOP appeared with a thick book of "Anti-Cancer Recipes" and said earnestly, "This is a book that I had a nutritionist compile."
The most outrageous one was Seungri, who somehow got hold of a gleaming golden Buddha statue: "Brother, I specially went to the temple to ask for this, to bless you with a speedy recovery!"
Looking at the room full of "caring" friends and the mountain of supplements, G-Dragon finally couldn't take it anymore: "I'm really not sick!"
"Then how do you explain your recent changes?" the sun asked pointedly.
All eyes were on G-Dragon. He opened his mouth, glanced at Su You beside him who also looked concerned, but swallowed his words. He couldn't very well just say, "We're trying to conceive," could he?
Seeing her husband's embarrassed expression, Su You couldn't help but chuckle. This chuckle made Min Xiaolin suddenly realize something. She tugged at Taiyang's sleeve and gave him a meaningful look.
After seeing off his skeptical friends, G-Dragon slumped onto the sofa and sighed, "If this keeps up, they'll curse me sick even if I'm not already."
Su You sat down next to him and leaned on his shoulder: "Who told you to change so suddenly and so completely?"
“I just wanted to…” G-Dragon hugged her, his voice lowering, “to be in the best possible condition to welcome the little life that might come.”
As he spoke, he pulled up a hidden album on his phone, which was full of fan-made composite photos of "Little Dragon" and various cute baby product screenshots that they had secretly saved.
“Look at this,” he said, pointing to a baby bodysuit with a mini Air Jordan print, “isn’t it cool? What if we had a son…”
I found another Q-version family portrait drawn by a fan: "This is drawn so well, it even shows Yuzu's dimples."
Seeing his enthusiastic expression, Su You's heart melted. This man, so cool and domineering on stage, was now like a child who had received a new toy, full of anticipation for the possibilities of the future.
“Actually,” she said softly, “you don’t need to be so tense. Go with the flow, which includes living life in a natural way.”
G-Dragon put down his phone and looked at her earnestly: "I know. But I just want to... do my best."
After this blunder, both of them realized that their "preparations" had gone a bit too far. With Su You's advice, they found a more balanced approach:
G-Dragon has resumed his habit of having a cup of coffee in the morning, but he limits himself to one cup a day; Su You occasionally goes out for hot pot with her colleagues, but she no longer indulges in spicy food as much as before; the studio's late-night snacks have resumed, but G-Dragon consciously eats more vegetables and avoids fried foods.
More importantly, they learned to be at ease under the caring gaze of their friends.
When Seungri once again brought supplements, G-Dragon directly "invited" him and the supplies out, saying, "Keep them for yourself to boost your brainpower!"
Meanwhile, Taeyang received a box of baby supplies from G-Dragon, with a card that read: "Hyung, don't just worry about me, you need to take care of yourself too."
These changes continue, but they are no longer so abrupt or eye-catching. Like spring rain nourishing the earth silently, their expectations for the future have been transformed into the careful management of their daily lives.
One evening, the two were strolling along the Han River. G-Dragon naturally took the bag from Su You's hand, gently placing his other hand behind her back. This subtle gesture was captured by a passing fan and posted online.
This time, the fans' comments were especially heartwarming:
Brother Long looks great!
The two of them walking together look so heartwarming.
It seems their relationship has entered a new phase.
No matter what, happiness is what matters!
