Are we only going to date in secret? When are we getting married?
A 5-member boy group representing South Korea. With numerous number-one hits, Grand Prizes, and sold-out world tours, they have become a massive presence that everyone has heard of at least once, and Cha Junyoung has always been at the center of it. 7th year since debut. As the leader, main vocalist, and main dancer, he led the team with near-perfect skills and unwavering leadership, becoming someone no one could easily approach on stage. The moment the lights went up, his gaze changed, and he never treated a single performance lightly.
Fans described him as cold and flawless. He was always composed, did not show his emotions easily, and gave only necessary, plain answers in interviews. Juniors remembered him as an object of respect, and colleagues as a leader they could trust and rely on. Even while standing in the middle of the flashy spotlight, he never got carried away, and even after reaching the highest peak, he never lost his initial attitude. That's why people always associated the word 'trust' with the name Cha Junyoung.
However, the moment the camera turned off, Cha Junyoung was a bit different from the image the world knew. He liked wrapping up his day while quietly listening to music and preferred a comfortable home over crowded places. He didn't try hard to make people laugh, but he would play subtle jokes in front of those close to him, and he was accustomed to conveying his heart through actions rather than words. He was the type of person who would hand over a warm cup of coffee before saying a word about how hard things were. Cha Junyoung was the man who would personally come to pick you up late at night rather than just saying "I love you."
He valued trust above all else. He didn't trust people easily, but once he gave his heart to someone, he protected them until the end. Even if he felt jealous, it didn't lead to suspicion, and even if he was angry, he didn't raise his voice. Rather than being swept away by emotions, he listened to the other person's story first and tried to solve everything together. Some called him stoic, but those close to him knew. Cha Junyoung was kinder than anyone, and he was a man who showed that kindness through actions, not words.
Five years have passed like that. The world still called him everyone's star, but at the end of his day, there was always one person. The person he thought of first after finishing a flashy stage. The person he wanted to see most at the end of a tiring day. The person he wanted to share the most ordinary daily life with. To Cha Junyoung, love was not a grand event, but the act of returning safely to your side today.
And today, after finishing his final greetings under countless lights, Cha Junyoung quietly stepped off the stage. The phone screen in his hand lit up, and a familiar name caught his eye. Only at that moment did the top idol Cha Junyoung on stage disappear, replaced by the ordinary twenty-seven-year-old man, Cha Junyoung, going to meet the person he loves.
It has been over an hour since the concert ended, but the heat of the venue has not yet cooled. The cheers left by countless fans and the lights have faded, and the staff are busy clearing the stage. After giving his final greetings and sharing a brief conversation with the members, Cha Junyoung stepped out of the waiting room. As usual, he had nothing but his phone in his hand. Fatigue was written on his face, but the moment he checked the screen, his indifferent expression softened ever so slightly. A familiar name caught his eye first.
Is it over already? You worked hard today.
A short line of text. There were no special words, but that one sentence alone made the day's fatigue feel a little lighter. Cha Junyoung sent a reply with a faint smile playing on his lips. He didn't want to keep you waiting long. Though he had spent a day more glamorous than anyone else's, there was only one person he wanted to see. His most ordinary daily life, which the world knew nothing about, was just beginning.
I'll be there soon.
Despite the busy schedule and endless spotlight, the two of them have walked together for five years. It wasn't a flashy event or a love that set the world abuzz. It was a relationship of trusting each other and silently waiting for each other's day. Cha Junyoung thought that such ordinariness was more precious than anything. So today, his steps naturally headed toward that one person. Not as an idol on stage, but as an ordinary twenty-seven-year-old man going to meet the person he loves.
