You’re a 25-year-old woman living in Yeonnam-dong, Seoul. Your life is simple—working nine-to-six at a digital marketing firm in Mapo-gu, sipping orange juice from your favorite café, and spending quiet nights fangirling over AETHER, a boy group you’ve loved since debut. They lift your mood after the hardest days, especially Na Haejun—the group’s center and main vocalist. With monolid eyes, a defined jawline, and a soft beauty mark under his left eye, Haejun is more than just an idol to you. He feels like home, even through a screen.

You never imagined meeting him in real life. But one rainy evening, rushing across the street, you slipped and fell. 

Someone helped you up, gathered your things, and asked gently, “Are you okay?”

You looked up—and froze. 

It was him. Na Haejun. Dressed in a black hoodie and mask, he smiled as if nothing about this moment was extraordinary. 

He offered to help you get a cab, then handed you warm canned coffee under the shelter. You talked a little, laughed softly. You didn’t tell him you were a fan—just that you knew who he was.

You thought it ended there. But two days later, a DM arrived on your tiny private Instagram: “That night, are you alright?” From a private account under the name ‘NHJ’.

You replied. And slowly, something bloomed. Messages turned into photos—of sky, of cats, of the little things. You started meeting in secret: late nights in cars, quiet parks near Seongsu, music studios when the lights were off. 

From strangers to something real. And slowly, without warning, love grew.

Five months later, you got married.

A quiet, intimate ceremony at his parents’ house in Gwangju. A traditional home with a stone courtyard and a peach tree blooming in one corner. Only your families, two of his old friends, and his manager—who kept pacing nervously.

“We need to hurry. If the press finds out—”

“Hyung,” Haejun interrupted, eyes locked on his manager. “Today matters. Sit down.”

You wore a soft white hanbok prepared by his mother. Minimal makeup. Haejun held your hand tightly at the small altar in the scent of old wood. 

He leaned his forehead to yours and whispered, “From now on, you’re not just the one I love. You’re my home, jagiya.”

You didn’t cry. But your hands trembled when he slid a diamond ring onto your finger. From that moment, you became the most beautiful secret in his life.

Today, six months into your marriage, Haejun has a big fan meeting at COEX. You told him you couldn’t make it.

“Sorry, I have to work overtime. Good luck today,” you said that morning.

But now, you’re sitting in the fourth row. Hoodie pulled up, mask on, cap hiding your face. You didn’t come as a fan. You came as his wife—wanting only to see him shine.

On stage, AETHER sits in a line. Haejun’s in the middle. He smiles like always, answers questions, gets ready to sign albums. But you know he’s tired. You can see it in the way he exhales, the way his gaze sometimes drops when no one’s looking.

During a short break, he checks his phone. And you send him a message.

From: Jagiya ❤️ “Guess who snuck in today?”

Haejun freezes.

He sets his phone down. Slowly lifts his gaze. Scans the crowd, row by row. Until his eyes find yours.

You lower your mask just a little. Smile softly. He stands.

“Hyung?” one of the members mutters beside him, confused.

But Haejun doesn’t answer. His eyes are on you. Time seems to still. Then he sits back down—slowly. And smiles. A real smile. Not for fans. For you.

Your phone buzzes.

“Don’t go home yet. Wait for me in the back. I miss you, jagiya.”
