Ch.235Tarzan’s Entrance
by fnovelpia
Kim Donghu’s recognition in America is still low.
Despite appearing on <MEET> and getting over 100 million views.
Despite heating up communities through his boxing interviews.
It wasn’t quite enough to make his name and face known throughout America.
And this was exactly what Kim Donghu decided to use to his advantage.
‘Since many people still don’t know me, I won’t attract too much attention.’
Even at this moment, new celebrities were rising and falling.
In this wave, it was quite difficult to clearly know who Kim Donghu was.
So Kim Donghu sat in front of the food truck with a chair.
To actively utilize his appearance.
He sat still like a statue, occasionally making eye contact with people around him.
“Wow… that person who just made eye contact is coming this way?”
“The crowd that’s gradually gathering… I think it’s all thanks to Donghu.”
As if he were some god of fishing.
Once people made eye contact with Kim Donghu, they slowly walked toward the food truck.
Like they had spotted a light in the middle of the night.
“…I want to see him up close.”
“I didn’t know someone this handsome existed.”
“He looks familiar somehow? Why does his face seem familiar?”
“Maybe he’s the man you always see in your dreams? How can someone be that handsome?”
Near a university campus.
Students tired from studying gathered to heal themselves by looking at Kim Donghu’s face.
Like watching cute animal videos or their favorite idols.
They moved toward Kim Donghu on a similar principle.
And the first thing they encountered was.
Thud.
A metal sign they accidentally bumped into while walking.
“Huh?”
Whether intentionally placed or not.
People naturally shifted their gaze toward it.
“I understand kimbap… but what are cheese potato pancakes and potato stew fried rice?”
The first menu item was familiar from hearing about it many times.
But the rest didn’t quite register yet.
‘Since I’m already here, maybe I should try something.’
‘The lines at other places are too long… so kimbap? Ah, kimbap isn’t great at this hour.’
They didn’t want to order something else because the pictures didn’t give them a good idea.
They didn’t want kimbap because it wasn’t suitable as a side dish.
And they felt too intimidated to ask because he was too handsome.
Just as they were thinking it might be better to eat somewhere else.
Sizzzzzzzzle!
Whoooooosh!
An unfamiliar smell tickled their noses.
Slightly spicy yet very exotic.
But not an unpleasant smell.
Clatter clatter clatter.
Rice grains could be seen dancing in the wok.
And next to it, the savory and very familiar smell of cheese wafted through the air.
Just looking at it, you could feel the feast of stimulating flavors.
But they still couldn’t be certain.
Because they didn’t know what the final product would be like.
If only someone could show them how it’s eaten.
That would be the decisive kick…
“Donghu, eat while you work! Eat while you work! It must be hard!”
“Thank you.”
Right then, two dishes arrived in front of the extremely handsome man.
Just as depicted in the pictures,
One was potato stew fried rice.
The other appeared to be cheese potato pancakes.
Munch munch!
The handsome man started eating with great enjoyment.
As if showing how to eat it.
Sometimes eating it plain.
Sometimes wrapping the cheese potato pancake with rice.
Or dipping it in sauce.
After finishing his meal in the blink of an eye.
The handsome man, or rather Kim Donghu, wiped his mouth and smiled brightly.
“…I’ll have what he had! Both of them!”
“Me too! Me too!”
“No, you need to line up properly! I was here first!”
At that moment, the game was over.
++++++
As expected, after successfully doing business near the university campus.
【An extremely handsome man is selling Korean food right now】
【He seems to be moving around college areas, but the man is so handsome!!!】
Hot reactions appeared on social media as if they had been waiting.
【But doesn’t he look really familiar? (photo attached)】
ㄴNo wait? No, huh?
ㄴWhat? Who is he? You seem to know!
ㄴIsn’t this Kim Donghu? Tarzan, Olympic heavyweight champion!
ㄴI thought so too, but it’s definitely not him. That doesn’t make sense
ㄴHe does look like Kim Donghu, but it can’t be him.
ㄴRight, he has a unique appearance, but why would someone like that run a food truck?
ㄴMaybe it’s not just that, I heard they’re filming for some broadcasting station
ㄴSince his main job is acting, is this some kind of comedy show?
ㄴStill doesn’t make sense, how much is he worth? Why would he be making food at a place like that?
ㄴThat’s true
Despite numerous speculations, no one imagined that Kim Donghu was “that Kim Donghu.”
A boxer and actor selling food at a food truck near a university?
And personally attracting customers?
Even in a world where many things happen.
That was a truth difficult to readily accept.
“The response is amazing?! We had so many customers… I was overwhelmed, there must have been chefs among them!”
PD Lee Hyungwoo smiled brightly as he checked all of this in real-time.
With this level of response, the program was bound to succeed.
Moreover, sales were going well too.
It was a situation where he was looking forward to seeing how high the ranking would be on Netflix.
And right at that moment.
“By the way, would it be okay if I invited a special guest to my show?”
Kim Donghu dropped a bombshell.
“I told an acquaintance I’d invite them here before, I’m sorry I didn’t mention it earlier.”
“No, no, it’s fine. But when you say special guest, who exactly are you referring to…?”
“Evelyn, Evelyn Queen Ember.”
“What?”
PD Lee Hyungwoo doubted his ears for a moment, thinking he had misheard.
“You mean the current Billboard chart #1, that Evelyn Queen Ember?”
“Yes, that Evelyn.”
“…”
As soon as he heard Kim Donghu’s answer, PD Lee Hyungwoo’s jaw dropped.
So this is what Hollywood class means.
‘Now I understand why they say you should swim in big waters.’
The level of his acquaintances was different.
To say he would invite the hottest singer right now.
The most surprising thing was how casually he mentioned it, as if talking about going for a neighborhood walk.
“Is that not possible?”
“Ah, no… no, it’s possible! Of course it is! Please, I beg you!”
PD Lee Hyungwoo was pleasantly surprised.
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
Kim Sujin silently searched for information about Evelyn from behind.
Honestly, she didn’t even know who Evelyn was until the name came up.
She wasn’t particularly interested in music to begin with.
But at this moment.
“…Hmm, so they were workplace colleagues?”
Kim Sujin saw it clearly with her own eyes.
Kim Donghu dancing with Evelyn in the <MEET> music video.
“They look close?”
Despite it being really interesting information.
For some reason, Sujin’s eyes weren’t smiling.
+++++
“Are you sure this is okay?”
“What?”
“Going to a place with so many people, I mean.”
“I’m disguised, what’s there to worry about? And I’m even dressed like young people these days.”
Brushing off her manager’s concerns.
Evelyn hummed a tune as she stood in front of the mirror.
“I’m going to see my Tarzan, of course it’s fine.”
“Still… there are many variables in crowded places, and college areas have lots of people….”
“If I can be there for Donghu, all that is fine.”
And he said he would protect me if anything happens.
As she said those words, Evelyn’s cheeks flushed red.
Seeing this, her manager laughed with a sigh.
“Protect you? Is he going to jump out of the truck while cooking?”
“Hmm, I’m not sure about that?”
“Evelyn! You’re in a very… very delicate situation right now, you can’t just go around like this!”
“I know, that’s why I’m thoroughly disguised… and I even set up a decoy to throw off the paparazzi.”
That’s not what I meant.
The manager was about to explain the broader risks.
But seeing Evelyn’s current state, he immediately gave up.
‘I never dreamed that love learned late would be this frightening.’
Of course, he understood Evelyn’s feelings to some extent.
She had never caused trouble before and had always perfectly prepared for situations like this.
So it wasn’t strange that she assumed today would be the same.
Nevertheless, the reason the manager felt uneasy was.
Just an inexplicable feeling.
A feeling that Evelyn would be in danger among this crowd.
Hoping this would end up being just an anxious imagination.
Slide.
The manager reluctantly opened the car door.
“Thank you! I’ll be back soon!”
As soon as the door opened, Evelyn rushed toward the food truck.
“No, I’m coming with you anyway… and she’s already gone.”
The manager muttered as he closed the door and hurriedly followed Evelyn.
Among the crowd in front of Kim Donghu’s food truck.
The moment he precisely identified Evelyn’s location.
“Whoa?”
As people suddenly pushed and shoved.
The hat Evelyn was wearing suddenly came off.
‘No, who took it off?’
The manager saw it clearly.
Whoever took off the hat didn’t know it was Evelyn.
They just took it because the hat looked expensive and they wanted to steal it.
“Damn! Damn! Damn!”
But with the hat removed, Evelyn’s brilliant blonde hair suddenly appeared.
“Huh?”
People moving toward the food truck suddenly stopped.
During lunch hour, when college students had flocked for food.
The blonde hair, more brilliant than sunlight, caught everyone’s eyes.
No matter how thoroughly she had covered her face.
“Evelyn?!”
Her unmistakable presence was imprinted on everyone’s vision.
Due to her uniquely brilliant blonde hair.
Her identity was exposed.
“No!”
The manager, unable to break through the crowd, was shocked that people recognized Evelyn.
And as Evelyn froze at the realization she had been discovered.
People, rather than making rational judgments.
Reached out to Evelyn by instinctive movement.
In the middle of the crowd, an accident could happen.
In that critical situation.
Bang!
A loud noise from the food truck calmed everyone’s excitement.
“Everyone please calm down and lower your hands.”
I don’t want anyone to get hurt.
The owner who made the loud noise.
Kim Donghu dropped the dented metal sign.
And slowly made his way through the crowd toward Evelyn.
It was the appearance of Tarzan.
