-Solaris - 'Ok so that is the information about the body and his family. As well as the original owner's situation. Good news is we are only at the point where Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan has received his star message letting him know he has been chosen to compete on The Chef and The Celebrity, along with the information about the appointment to come and sign paperwork and meet the staff. We have time to get a head of everything that happened in the original timeline. Speaking of which we should go over that part too?'
-Phoenix - Simply replied 'En'
-Solaris - 'Ok then let us recap. So, things were going will for Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan. He landed a spot on a new variety show that revolves around a celebrity being paired with a culinary arts student or up and coming chef who has to teach them how to prepare certain dishes, deserts and drinks.
They also have to teach them how properly plate them as well. The celebs will then have to compete using all the knowledge and skills they learned while working with their chef partner in order to showcase what their newly acquired skills and knowledge.. They will be graded on appearance, is it cooked correctly, taste, the skills and abilities used to make it as well as if their work area is clean and tidy or not.
The chefs will have to learn how to properly act and will have to recreate a few famous scenes and then a completely original skit as well as a photo shoot. They will be judged on a tight grading scale as the winner will be offered a role in an upcoming film by a famous director and producer, as well as a contract offer from Moonbeam Entertainment.
There is a portion of the show that is a competition solely between the chefs where they compete to win a job as the executive sus chef in The Capitals Finest New Three MICHELIN Stars Restaurant.
If a chef and their celeb partner win every competition then we have a really big and special prize for you! formal endorsement contracts, a completely paid for ship, the latest model Aura420XT by Dragon's Breath the newest leader in luxury space crafts as well as a money prize of fifteen-million-star coins. In addition, you will also get your very own cooking show and several more endorsements!
Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan got the star message that he had been chosen to join the show. He was so excited because if he managed to win this, he could not only help take care of his family but possibly get his own cooking show which is his dream. He has had a secrete love of acting for a long time now, but he never said anything to his family because he knew if he did, they would do everything to help him achieve that dream, but he knows they need him here.
But if he had his own show then he could combine his two loves and support the family. He would still be able to work some shifts are the family restaurant and all the exposure will just help the family business grow.
He went full of excitement and buzzing nerves, that he could not quite tell were about. Once he got the studio and met with the producer's assistant and signed all the paperwork, he was introduced to the producer and the director. They informed him that the pairing would be random and to pick a random number and color, so he picked the first number and color that came to his mind. After that they led him to another room to meet the celebrity that he would be paid with.
To his complete amazement and surprise, he found out he had been paired with none other than The Movie Emperor Choi Yongbok. He is a dominant alpha who is also known as the movie emperor not just because he plays an emperor a lot, or because of his peerless acting skills but because of his status as a D.A., dominant alpha.
Choi Yongbok is considered untouchable and since everyone, man, woman, alpha, beta and omegas alike want to be with him, so his stans call themselves his harem, which Choi Yongbok does not like but it does not stop his many, many, many stans.
Though Choi Yongbok has a sunny, easy going and all-around golden boy image and considered to be the empire's boyfriend/husband. Despite Choi Yongbok's on and in front of the camera image he has established he is actually a cold and distant man. He does not like people to come close or to touch him as he struggles with mysophobia. He has never had a partner and keeps his record clean. He is friends with some of his coworkers in the industry, but he is never seen in a public setting casually with anyone other than his family.
Despite the fact that Choi Yongbok is an actor and the top in the industry he also has his PhD. in business with second Ph.D. in Engineering, a master's in psychology, he holds black belts in several ancient martial arts from Earth, specifically: Tae Kwon Do, Taekkyon, Kuk Sool Won, Hapkido, Kung Fu Wushu and Kendo. He is unbeatable in the ancient martial arts of ancient Earth.
Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan was excited but very nervous to be paired with The Movie Emperor Choi Yongbok as he was a fan of his work. He was well aware about how crazy Choi Yongbok's stans can get and with him being a dominant omega and Choi Yongbok being a dominant alpha that the speculations will go wild even if nothing happens between them.
Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan had no intention of dating anyone for a very long time. He has resolutions set and he plans to achieve them. His greatest wish is that he will be able to make a name for himself as a famous chef and help to make sure his family never has to struggle again just to make ends meet.
His parents worked hard to get to where they are now. They started with his mom's small roadside stall back in the countryside next to the family farm. She used only produce that they grew and meat from the livestock they raised.
Mrs. Tae Eun-Kyung dishes were very popular as she used recipes that had been handed down in her family from before humans left ancient Earth but adapted them in order to use the local flora and fauna.
She was able to make a name for herself and grow her small stall into a small restaurant that then expanded to a larger brick and mortar. Their countryside restaurant was so successful that they made the decision to relocate closer to the capital of the G.D.S.N. Empire, which was a planet called Terra Anka PXD2422.
As with and empire, kingdom, country, state, or even town the closer to the "city center" or Due to the very high cost of living on the capital even in their country sides, the Beyol's chose to move to Luna Bellflower, the smallest of the 3 moons that orbit Tera Anka PXD2422. This turned out to be a great decision as Luna Bellflower was not only the perfect suborn "city center" the higher the cost of living due to supply and demand for real estate.
The Beyols decided to start another farm on Luna Bellflower since it was more cost effective then shipping in the ingredients daily from the family farm back on Kythera 88.
This time however Mr. Beyol Shin wanted to plant some of the seeds he had in his possession that had been handed down his family as the family's priceless artifact. These seeds were some of the last ones remaining from the voyage through space from Ancient Earth.
Since he was a botanist, he wanted to plant them to see what they would harvest but he was worried that they like all the others of the past would just spoil instead of taking root. He is not sure what is so different about the environment here then it was on Earth. If he could just get these seeds to grow, he would know what they are at the very least. That information has been lost to time.
'Solaris, remind me to check those seeds out so that we can run a diagnostic on them and see if we can figure them out. If I help out the original's father to grow those seeds and be able to reproduce them and any harvest that comes from them, then that will already take care of one of his lifelong wishes.'
'Yes Mama, and I can also get you more seeds from The Nursery in case the seeds Mr. Beyol has are truly not viable.' Solaris replied back through their shared mental link.
For the time being Mr. Beyol Shin has set that ambitious dream aside to focus on establishing a new local farm for the new restaurant and traditional tea house that they recently renovated. Though they are considered middle class they can be considered as working poor as every bit of their extra earnings goes back into their businesses and paying off the new debt from the move and recent renovations to their home on Luna Bellflower.
Though Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan was initially taken aback by Choi Yongbok's cold face and personality, he was able to hide it well. He took teaching Choi Yongbok very seriously and put all of his efforts into not just teaching him general basics, but he also worked very hard off camera coming up with a full menu that will wow the judges but still be within the technical range that Choi Yongbok can smoothly execute. As well as he worked on developing his new dish that we would use in the final compaction amongst the chefs only.
Because Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan was desperate to win The Chef and The Celebrity he offered to work overtime, non-filming hours, with Choi Yongbok and to his surprise he agreed. They worked at both the studios and at Choi Yongbok's private residence so that they could work in peace away from prying eyes of Choi Yongbok's stans and the media.
They did not want their competition to learn the recipes that Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan developed specifically for Choi Yongbok to use on The Chef and The Celebrity. Though they did not want any of their competitors to steal their, mainly Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan's, hard work they along with Choi's management team, as well as the Beyols all agreed that it was vital that Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan & Choi Yongbok were not only very careful but also were not alone together because all the needed was for a major scandal to break out.
So, every time they met up to work, there were always at least 3 other people with them at all times. Though neither of the two men anticipated working well together they were both pleasantly surprised to find out that they in fact worked well together and the developed a close acquaintanceship but not it did not go as far as an actual friendship.
Despite their budding acquaintanceship both men made sure to keep everything professional both in front of and behind the cameras. All was going well, both in filming and with Choi Yongbok's culinary arts training, that was until the second episode of The Chef and The Celebrity. That was the beginning of a series of issues, drama, scandals and major backlash broke out.
It all started out innocent enough as far as starnetizens go. At first it was just a bunch of unrest amongst Choi Yongbok's fans, where most were complaining about how a nobody had no place even talking to their Movie Emperor. Though these comments upset Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan, he put up with them for the sake of his family.
Then with the second episode came out in which the chefs were paired with their celebrity they would be teaching and competing with was aired. With it came the accusations that Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan was trying to ensnare Choi Yongbok in his greedy gold-digging hands. This too he was able to put up with and ignore for the most part, as he, his family, Choi Yongbok all knew this was the farthest thing from the truth. But despite The Chef and The Celebrity and Choi Yongbok posting on their official Stella-Link accounts that this was not the case and that it is vital to no accuse and slander someone of doing something that is not the truth.
That is until the third episode aired, showcasing the chefs working one on one with their celebrity partners was aired. Despite there being nothing but professionalism from both Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan and Choi Yongbok, there was a large amount of starnetizens on both Stella-Link and Nova Talk started posting and disclosing Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan secondary sex as a Dominant Omega and doxing him as well as his family.
