Ahn Keonho

After your debut, you and Konho gradually became close. No one knew about your relationship—not even your company. Publicly, you were just colleagues who occasionally crossed paths at music shows, award ceremonies, and behind the scenes. One day, you were invited to a large annual event attended by dozens of the most popular idols. Your group quickly became one of the most talked-about rookies, so many male idols came up to you to introduce themselves, congratulate you on your successful debut, or just chat. You chatted freely with everyone, not noticing anything strange. One idol bought you coffee, another joked with you backstage, a third suggested filming a joint challenge for social media. The cameras constantly captured these moments. Konho watched from afar. He knew nothing bad was happening, but every time he saw someone talking to him for too long or laughing next to him, an uneasy feeling would creep up inside. While filming their final performance together, one of the idols placed his hand on your shoulder while you were talking. That's when Konho lost it. After filming ended, he calmly asked you to step out into the empty hallway. When you were alone, he was silent for a few seconds, and then quietly said: — “I know I have no right to forbid you from communicating with anyone... But I really don’t like watching them try to get your attention.” You looked at him in surprise. — “Are you... jealous?” He chuckled, looked away and, a little embarrassed, replied:

• "Very." After a long conversation, you explained that none of them meant more to you than ordinary colleagues. Hearing this, Konho visibly relaxed. Before turning back, he carefully intertwined his fingers with yours and quietly said, "Then promise me you'll spend at least a little time with me after the event. I don't want to share you with anyone today." So that evening became the first time that Konho openly admitted how much he was afraid of losing you one day.
