The title says it all and best describes the alleged relationship of a budding couple. First, Versatile Boy (VB) and Talented Girl (TG) are of age and legally allowed to get into vices. Second, they have matured in the entertainment industry and their experiences have forged their character as well.
Apparently, VB and TG hit it off as their careers crossed paths. Fans found the pair cute together and found nothing wrong if they end up together. Both are single and secure with their careers. In fact, they have nothing to prove as they have a list of accomplishments in and out of showbiz.
Given that perception, fans look up to VB and TG even consider them as role models. VB rose from the ranks and his fans witnessed his hard work to reach his spot. The same is true with TG, who proved she’s not just a pretty face. Thus, when VB and TG were seen in popular spots known for nightlife, kibitzers were surprised at the two’s behavior.
Their zest for living was evident. VB and TG love life and that was shown when followers saw them enjoying a drink and much more. Sadly, the two gave the impression that they are heavy drinkers in public. Unwinding from the pressures of their work probably was the excuse for finding solace in drinking. Unfortunately, nothing escapes netizens and seeing them as heavy drinkers is not taken in a positive light. Did drinking bring them together? Would they become an official couple soon?

Honest mistake, rude response
No one’s perfect when it comes to technology. For example, encoding numbers in mobile devices can sometimes be the source of future misunderstandings. Honest mistakes can often test patience, therefore, the character of the person at the receiving end. Often, even if the error has been owed, only a few have the manners to let a mistake pass.
Unfortunately, Businessman (BM) was at the receiving end of the reply of Popular Personality (PP). BM sent a message to a number, thinking he was messaging A Contact (AC). However, a few minutes passed and BM did not receive a reply. Subsequently, BM sent another message. Still, the assumed AC did not answer. More minutes passed but the number did not reply. The messages simply asked how the supposed receiver was. BM had no malice in sending the messages.
Then, a reply came through. BM thought he had finally reached AC. The reply was unexpected as the message asked why she was receiving such messages. BM realized his honest mistake and apologized sincerely.
The conversation did not end there even if BM already explained and said sorry. PP replied and called out what she thought was BM’s character. The message was not pleasant. The reaction was quite different from the perception of the image of PP.
