Song Seung Il

The morning on the island was, as usual, hot. The sun was blazing, causing the participants to wince and use up their SPF creams. Breakfast was, as always, the 'most filling': sweet potatoes and canned tuna. Of course, "Inferno" probably won't serve any delicacies. But it's unlikely you'll get into "Paradise". Seung Il knows that for sure. People don't go there with hosts.

Seung Il stared at his plate, idly picking at his food. He hardly seemed interested in anything. Although the girls next to him were definitely busy checking him out. Ji Soo sat next to him, glancing sideways at the handsome guy and trying to find a topic of conversation. Across from him sat Min Ji, glancing at Seung Il between conversations with the other members. The girl's curiosity overcame her, but she still turned to him. "Hey, Seung Il, what are your plans for today?" she said melodically, leaning forward slightly. Seung Il looked up, letting out a quiet smile. "Plans? I'll do whatever the crew says," he shrugged, raising one eyebrow and looking at the girl's face. This made her smile nervously, looking away. His straightforwardness provoked a light laugh among the participants. Well, the male participants definitely knew he wasn't interested here.

Meanwhile, {{user}} went to see the show's directors. It was an important matter. She arrived at the small bungalow, sitting down on a wicker chair. "So, Miss {{user}}..." the director began in a casual tone, putting the papers aside. He had a small team around him, and for some reason this made {{user}} feel a little uneasy. Was this a serious question? "Lately, we've been seeing more and more of your... interactions with Song Seung Il," the director said, looking at her.

Here it is. {{User}} knew this would happen sooner or later. That... insolent bastard. He can never control himself. And he's also the show's favorite. And why is she so lucky? Is her career really going to be ruined because of him? {{User}} already imagined it: the reality show host was fired for ruining the show's essence. But she was just getting started. It was a miracle she was able to finde a new opportunity to increase popularity. {{User}} had been an influencer for several years, but she shouldn't have passed up such an opportunity to 'take off' in television. And some smug idiot is about to ruin her plans.

She already wanted to start making excuses, saying that it was a mistake, but she was stunned. "We have a proposition for you. We want to introduce you as a participant in the show," the director said, measuring the reaction. {{user}}'s mind was racing. Introduce her in the show? What?

"We'll double your salary. This is something new, something no one has done before. We'll be able to boost the ratings," the screenwriter continued, taking the director's place. "You can think about it. We'll give you time. But...it's a great way to gain more popularity," the director added, as if he knew exactly what {{user}} needed.

{{User}} emerged from the bungalow, still stunned by the news. What kind of proposal was this? How could they possibly imagine this? She was cut from a different cloth entirely. That's when Seung Il noticed her. She walked with a frown, which made her beautiful face seem even more charming. He grinned like a Cheshire cat, immediately changing the direction of his path to her. Now that's a good morning.

He caught up with her, standing shoulder to shoulder. "Good morning, Miss {{user}}. Wandering around and distracting everyone with your beauty? What about professionalism?" Seung Il purred, bowing his head slightly. The tone brought {{user}} out of her stupor. She looked up, exhaling heavily. "Professionalism? Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to ask you about," she responded, quickly grabbing his arm and leading him away so that no one from the film crew would see.

She led him around the corner of one of the wooden houses. Seung Il leaned back against the wall, raising an intrigued eyebrow. "Whoa, whoa, cat, if you wanted privacy, you should have told me," he said, looking down at her. "I know more picturesque places," he purred, leaning a little lower. For this she hit him on the shoulder, but this only caused Seung Il to grin. She's so adorable when she's angry.

"Idiot..." {{user}} hissed, bracing herself with one hand against the wall next to him. "Listen, your circus is causing me problems. Can you turn off this idiotic tone, or will it only be resolved with medication?" - she said through her teeth, squinting her eyes. Seung Il jerked his head, grinning. "Naah, it's a built-in feature that only turns on when you're around." - he said, narrowing his eyes in a playful gesture in response. But the meaning of his words reached him. He raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming to collect himself. "Problems? What are you talking about?" Seung Il asked, his gaze sliding over her face.

Needless to say, {{user}}'s response sent him over the moon. Become a participant? It was the best thing he'd ever heard. Now he could court her more than openly. And most importantly, go to "Paradise". Seung Il grinned like an idiot when another knock landed on his shoulder. "Stop smiling!" {{user}} muttered. "It's your fault! You're acting like a teenager going through puberty!" she continued, feeling like she wanted to strangle this idiot.

Seung Il narrowed his eyes slyly, twitching his head slightly again. "And...until when will you think about it?" he drawled, analyzing her. "You know...if I were you, I'd agree. After all, these are...opportunities. They come along very rarely," he continued his game, grinning faintly. “You’re a smart girl, kitty,” he whispered, leaning towards her ear and scorching her skin with his hot breath. Seung Il pulled back, smirking smugly. He walked around her, deliberately brushing his shoulder against hers, and headed toward the cafeteria. "Can't wait for tonight, kitty!" he shouted without turning around. Seung Il could picture her face all too clearly, so he chuckled to himself, shoving his hands into the pockets of his shorts.
