Remember the Russian pop band, t.A.T.u? Well here's a K-Pop story loosely based on their saga. Music mogul, Flo Glitz wants to empower her godson, the young and innocent Taeyang. She also wants to destroy and get revenge on her unfaithful, ex-boyfriend, Gong-gi. So she pairs them up as a pop duo with a romantic twist. They have to pretend to be a couple to sell records, but for one of the members, the relationship is more than just a publicity stunt. Before Dal Gong-gi had his wife and kids, he was the lead singer of VALENTINE COOKIE. Now in his thirties, he's convinced the K-Pop life is over. He's in for a shock when his former manager/ex-girlfriend, Flo Glitz knocks at his door. She forces him out of retirement in a new project as punishment for breaching his old contract. Dal Gong-gi is now one-half of Taegong with fresh-faced Gang Taeyang. Together they must convince the world that they are madly in love with each other. As Taegong dominates the charts with their catchy tunes, they touch the hearts of many. Gong-gi becomes conflicted between Flo Glitz's gun and fuel Taeyang's passionate attraction towards him. Gong-gi knows how savage the music industry can be, and hopes he can escape it without breaking Taeyang's heart.
Genre: FICTION / Romance / New AdultIt was the first time Taeyang had ever set foot out of South Korea. It must have shown. His body slouched against his seat as he stretched. Peering out of the plane windows, he could tell that he was in a different country. Taeyang suppressed his panting and his urge to scream. He was technically the luckiest guy in the world, but it had not sunk in. The plane was surrounded by people, he could hear them banging on the plane doors. They had microphones, a dozen types of cameras and notebooks tucked into their hands. "Are they all for us?" Taeyang asked Gong-Gi.
Gong-Gi nodded, then looked away. "It's the paparazzi. Be prepared for them to hunt you down 24/7. If you're lucky, you might find them creeping under the shower curtain." It felt as if Gong-Gi was trying to give Taeyang advice, but he sounded like a madman from the way he slurred. His eyes could barely stay open.
“You make it sound like a horror movie…”
“Because it is one!”
