Chapter Text
“You’re awfully touchy today!”
Jake gives Goo his signature smile, his booty jiggled a bit and goo can’t take his eyes off it. Jake always has such a charming aura to him, goo understands why he’s the current teenage heartthrob.
Jake Kim has been in this industry since he was 5 years old, a child star with years of experience under his belt despite only being 17. Yeah that gotta be illegal but like whatever!!!. He’s been in countless Tv shows, movies, and has gotten more than a handful of brands and companies paying for him to even breathe in the direction of their products, knowing it'll make his fans go crazy and sell out the stock.
Goo is proud of him, but he’s still a normal man who feels maybe just a tad bit jealous of him. “Welll..!! I just wanted to congratulate you for that role you landed! And you're going to the USA now!!!” Goo says with a smile as he hugs Jake from the side.
Joon goo Kim is 18 years old— soon to be 19! He has only been an actor for about a year, he was a fairly successful model before he started acting, modelling for small local brands and stores before he got scouted. But he was a smash hit when he was featured as a minor character in a drama, fans loved his character, which made them love him too. Every single role he’s gotten since then has reached unprecedented heights of success, making him rich overnight.
Jake smiles and laughs at his words, patting Goo’s shoulders as a friendly gesture.
“Thanks man, heh, I appreciate your support but maybe you don’t need to be dangling off of me..” Jake says with a huff and a soft smile, standing tall while Goo clings onto him like a little girl who’s father is about to leave for work.
Goo gives a playful pout before reluctantly letting go of him, putting on a fake frown. “I’m just sad I won’t be able to see you for months!!! Why can’t I come with you to the shooting!” Goo whines, laughter bubbling in his chest. “Damn Goo!” Jake laughs, “it’s fine, you gotta go to your own shoots Goo.. plus, I’ll be back after a month or two”
“Yeah!! But you’re gonna go back after just two weeks!!” Goo argues back, his arms crossed as he stands with one eyebrow raised. Jake simply stuck his tongue out, "we'll make it work"
"Waaahhh! I'll miss you, good luck!" Goo says to him, face in his hands. The two of them chatted well into the afternoon, the sun was setting and Jake needed to get on his flight at 4am. Goo reluctantly parted ways with him, not letting him go before buying Jake a ton of unnecessary keychains and sweets. Goo acted like Jake was moving permanently, but you can't really blame him since he doesn't have many other friends.
Goo went home that day, happily exhausted. Like the silly man he is, he immediately posts a forehead angle selfie to his instagram story about his day, sticking his tongue out with some bullshit song in the background.
Wow, he feels amazing. Goo scrolls through his social media feeds, hoping to see if a hot man has slid into his dms to no avail. Wow, not so amazing. But of course his mood is immediately lifted when he sees his supporters thirsting for him, he loves the ego boost just like any other person.
Goo lays on his bed scrolling and giggling to himself like a little girl, mostly at memes that involve himself. Next thing he knows it’s 2:99am and he just scrolled through every single social media he has, even the scary ones like tumblr.
“Ermmmw what the heck..” he thinks to himself, feeling like shit that he wasted like 5 hours of his life snuggled up in his blanket scrolling through social media. Goo sighs to get into his nightly 12 step skincare routine, it usually makes him feel amazing.
But everything went wrong!! Urg Waht the fhaak??!!!!
His face wash got into his eye, he rubbed it to try and get it off but it just went into the other eye. He spilled his toner on the ground like?? That was SK II?? 80 dollars just went down the drain, well on his leg. He accidentally dropped his opened moisturizer into the sink and it mixed with the water. He honestly wants to cry, but when he puts his head in his hands his elbow just subtly nudges his vast collection of serums and they all just fall to the ground. None of them shatter thankfully, but wow he has to rearrange them.
He contemplates posting about this on his tiktok since he’s an attention whore, but decides against it as his manager will know he stayed up past his bedtime. Goo groans, deciding to just go to bed already.
Goo wakes up the next day, he feels absolutely amazing. Maybe that horrible night was just a tiny sacrifice for him to have a great morning, well, great until he goes into his bathroom and sees the mess from last night still not cleaned up! Ermm what the hell!!
He can't do this anymore, why can't he be aesthetic and awesome and hot and sexy and cool?? Why must he be so unorganized? He groans, deciding to just man up and do it since he knows he won't if he leaves the mess for later.
Reluctantly, Goo moves on with his morning. Cleaning up the mess and doing all of his self care before enjoying a nice breakfast of… French fries. You win some, you lose some. He feels proud of himself as he spent the whole morning off of his phone, even though it was just for like 1 or 2 hours and he's gonna be on that thing for the rest of the day. It's still an improvement, having breakfast with no YouTube is a big accomplishment for him.
Everything feels absolutely amazing and he's just picked up his phone! Wow! But, the second the screen activates he's met with the biggest jump scare in existence. Even Freddy Fazbea,er couldn't even dream of topping this.
On his screen are 32 missed calls from his pr team, 12 from his manager, and hundreds of unanswered texts. All of which have a panicked and urgency to them. He feels like he's gonna shit himself right now, on his perfect white couch. Dreading what he might've done to deserve this, Goo contemplates just throwing his phone out the window and showing up at work with the excuse that 'hehe my phone broke I had no idea!!' But he's done that before! So that won't work twice!
Reluctantly, he clicks on the sea of notifications, bracing himself for what's coming.
Goo
what me do
Manager Choi
FUCK
Read the article
The boss is mad
Meeting at 9
Ermm what the hell, what did he do?? Did they find his onlyfans??
A million thoughts rush through his head at once, he’s confused and very very scared. Scrolling up the messages, he sees his manager spammed a link to some celebrity news website. He’s definitely fucked, probably.
Clicking on the link he sees a picture of his own face with the text underneath saying:
GOO KIM’S OLD TWITTER ACCOUNT REVEALS…
Great… he’s still confused, not quite sure what he used to post on his old account apart from bathroom booty pics. Reluctantly, the scrolls down. What he sees makes his eyes pop out his socket and shit.
Goo
Since when has everyone in this goddamn world turned gay??? lol I don’t support you F[—-]TS
The word at the end was censored by the news site, but it was obvious what he had said. Oh fuck, oh damn. They don't know… he's one of those too… Goo before his gay acceptance, such dark memories.
He frantically goes to check his Twitter, but as he taps on the app he sees– LOGIN PASSWORD CHANGED PLEASE RE-LOG.
WHAT THE HELLL??? He was immediately redirected onto his burner account, he's bout to piss himself. He searches up his official account, opening it he sees that his management have taken over his account.
Goo
PLEEES WHAT THE FUUCKKKKKKKKK!!!’
THIS IS SICK
Manager Choi
It’s not my fault
We can talk more later, just come to the office.
Goo
UGHHHHHH FINEEEEE
Goo could hear the whispers from the staff, how some pointed at him as he walked through the building or acted like he was some gangster that just showed up to their office. He’s so sick of this!!! He wants to throw a big big tantrum, but too bad he’s an adult now.
Showing up to the meeting room was worse! The ceo charles Choi and his manager Crystal Choi were both sitting on the table, his management team and a few others were also there. He was gonna shit himself.
“…hai” was all Goo could muster up from their hard stares at him, was it a lil hot?? Or is his heart trying to escape out his asshole? This is so sick and twisted!
“Sit down goo.” He swears Charles Choi has a gun pointed to his head, even though the old man has a neutral expression on his face, all goo sees is killing intent. As he sits down, one of the members of his management team pulls out their laptop and starts to tap aggressively. What the fuck is happening! Is the only thing in goo’s mind. He has already come out to his company, so he’s scared they’ll use that to win back his fans. But like! He’s not ready to come out to his fans!! If this never happened he’s not sure he would’ve ever done it, he probably would’ve just ment MIA when he gets a man!
Goo is trying not to fidget in his seat, he needs to be professional! But all is thrown away when Charles Choi speaks again. “Goo, I’m not going to ask about your past beliefs.” He starts, Goo wants to sigh in relief but that really wasn’t that comforting. “We’ll simply fix this.” The older man says, looking away from Goo and to the staff member with the laptop. Despite his neutral expression, Goo feels like the CEO has fucking lazer beams in his eyes. And if he does or says something to upset him even further Charles Choi is going to do pew pew peeewwww pew pewww and shoot his ass, Goddamn!
The rest of the staff turn to the projector screen thingy, it seems like the staff member with the laptop is controlling it. A million thoughts race through his head, how are they possibly gonna fix this? Goo watches the screen in anticipation, watching as the lady is setting up her presentation on… google slides. Girl what the fuck!
Once the presentation is finally projected, reading the title killed Goo mentally.
“Kim Joon Goo’s fake boyfriend” GIRL WHATTHE FUCK!!
Goo simply sat there shell shocked as the google slides lady (who he has decided cannot be trusted!!) explains her plan to the whole meeting room, with zero shame or hesitation. He literally wants to start breaking down right now, what’s wrong with these people!!
The lady’s plan is to… girl what the fuck…
As she explains the plan, Goo is rethinking and regretting almost every single choice he’s made in his life. Maybe if he was a construction worker, he would’ve been free to forget about his past!! But noooo, these crazy ass hoes on the internet always gotta dig him up! He doesn’t want these random 15 year olds to educate him, he’s a grown ass man!! He doesn’t like the way his fans want him to be aware of every single social issue or injustice going on, he doesn’t like people want him to blindly support a cause if a poc lgbt person is in trouble. In all honesty, he doesn’t give a fuck!!! No matter how ignorant or dismissive he sounds, he’s never gone out of his way to be an activist. But he always tells himself it's fine cause the way he thinks about it is at least he's real!! Not that he'll ever admit it to anyone else....yeah maybe he's not real!
This situation makes him especially angry. The people making jokes about him being homophobic or hate criming them just make him so upset, these people online have no right to judge him!! Especially after they went out of their way to find his social media accounts from back when he was still in his 3rd year of middle school, he was 14 girlllllll!!! People don’t understand how long 5 years is. His whole life turned upside down in that time, and now it’s just gonna be ruined again. He’s made so much progress in accepting himself, and now he’s gonna have to see the “if you’re not lgbt you can’t accept his apology” comments.
UGHHH!!!! He wants to kill himselfffff.
He only realises he hasn’t been listening to the presentation when the face of his co-star Johan seong jumpscares him, Johan’s pretty scary.
“Since Johan Seong is close, he would be more willing to-“ “WHAT” Goo exclaims, louder than he thought he would. As silence washes over the room, he just sits there dumbfounded and close to pissing himself.
Charles Choi clears his throat, turning to goo “Do you have any objections?” He says, even asking questions sounds like commands from him.
Goo fiddles with his fingers like a little school girl, “I-uh- no.. i’m just confused is all..” when the ceo raises his eyebrow at him, goo feels the need to explain further. “I-I’m just asking! Is it really necessary for me to put myself and forcing Johan to be in this situation seems awful.” He says, looking up to the staff for approval before continuing. “I mean.. the only ones upset are international fans, and if I come out I’ll get hate from Korean fans”
Some of the staff members nod their heads in understanding, some simply stare at him. “That is a good point” the commanding voice says.
Yayyyy!!!!! The ceo agrees with him!! He’ll be able to release a notesapp apology like any other celebrity!!
“But, you’re more popular with international audiences than you are with Koreans.” This hoe, goo thinks. “So it’d be better for us to go this route, and push you to the western audience.”
Well, he can’t argue with that!! He’s always expressed his want to be in more western productions, deeming it his ultimate goal even. “Oh….” Is all he can say, a little defeated but gir!!! If the ceo himself says he’s gonna push him to western audiences after this, then he’s gonna take the oppertunity! Johan won’t mind, they can even stage a dramatic break up once they’re both 21 year old millionaires.
He’s suddenly on board with this idea!! Yess yess he will be rich in dollars!! America dollars!!!
“But- there is no guarantee the audiences will accept you back, or even if Johan will say yes to the offer” party pooper!! Goo thinks. Of course Johan will say yes!
But fine, he thinks. “Okay, I’ll hear you out.”
