## Script

Expand for script.

* But soon, a new problem arose in the field.
* Fans of Kiro have swarmed the place, filling every street and alley around.
* **Remote Voice**: Kiro, I'll love you my whole life!
* The wave of sound surged closer to the camera unit.
* **MC**: Gosh, where did all these fans come from?
* **Agent**: Nobody thought we'd get bogged down here... Now the news is out, the crowd of fans will only get bigger.
* **Security Chef**: What a superstar... I've never seen such an imposing scene.
* **Security Chef**: We detailed 10 more security staff than usual, but it seems like it's still not enough. It's escalating...
* **Agent**: No way. We have to get Kiro out now, or nothing good will happen in this chaos.
* I followed Kiro's agent and more security staff as they went out to the shooting location.
* **Agent**: So many people... Where's the production van? I can't even see it?!
* **Security Chef**: What?! I can't hear you!
* **MC**: Forget it. Let's try to cut through this crowd!
* The security staff shouldered their way into the crowd, barely managing to carve a path for the van.
* The unit director, his hair a mess, was standing alongside the car blocking the door from the crowd.
* **Follow PD**: Stand back! Kiro, don't be afraid! I'll protect you!
* **Agent**: Is Kiro in the van? Let's get back to the crew first. Director Young has suspended shooting.
* When we opened the door, however, Kiro was nowhere to be seen.
* **Agent**: What... Where is my Kiro?!
* **Follow PD**: (Realizing the situation after first fixing his hair) What... Wha--What?!
* **Follow PD**: Where is Kiro?!
* **Security Chef**: No, no, no... So many bodyguards, but we still lost Kiro...
* **MC**: So many people there watching. Where could he have gone?
* **Agent**: Your crew is going to be liable for this! I told you to strengthen the security!!
* **Follow PD**: ... Calm down, please. We will find him.
* **MC**: Let's spread out and search? These fans are also looking. He can't stay lost.
* **Agent**: Yes, yes... keep an eye on social media! we'll hear something as soon as someone finds him!
* Soon, "Find Kiro" was trending through the roof.
* Not just fans, even Kiro's assistant producer and the crew were all posting. It was like an online flood.
* **Agent**: Try to find him before the fans do. For the sake of his safety!
* The crew's staff spread around and started searching.
* **MC**: But with so many fans and staff, how could he just vanish like that?
* I searched every inconspicuous corner around, until--
* I saw a person in a bear costume in the square. It was trading a balloon with a little girl for her candy.
* I smiled and felt relieved.
* **MC**: What kind of balloon salesman in a bear costume would be trading candy with a kid?
* I snuck up behind him, untied the biggest balloon he had on him, and handed it to the girl.
* **MC**: I can trade you for this one! Deal?
* **Little Girl**: Oh... yeah! This one's big!
* I got the candy, leaving the bear so embarrassed and angry that he started pacing around.
* **MC**: Hahaha...
* He lifted his round hands and covered his face. He turned away and squatted down, seemingly very angry.
* I laughed while I put the candy into the bear's pocket.
* **MC**: It's yours, Mr. Bear.
* This made Mr. Bear happy enough to stand up, but not enough to face me.
* I drew closer, lifting the head of the bear until I saw the shiny eyes of Kiro.
* **Kiro**: I won't forgive you that easily.
* Having said that, he laughed happily, his eyes wet like a puppy's.
* His smile froze.
* **MC**: So... what will it take for you to forgive me?
* **Kiro**: You would have to do me... a favor.
* **MC**: What's that?
* He gestured for me to stand closer, looked around warily, and whispered into my ear.
* **MC**: Um... Okay, deal.
