- He never missed her Seoul concert—not once.
- Liked every single post she made within minutes of upload.
- Once tweeted nothing but a heart emoji under her selfie from 4 years ago and let fans lose their minds trying to decode meaning.
2025 – Seoul, Rain-Slicked Streets
Park Jihoon was supposed to be a myth.
The kind they wrote fanfiction about—the idol who played the tragic villain in "Weak Hero Class", whose smile cracked hearts open like stage lights. Fans screamed his name at concerts. Stalkers memorized his coffee order (black, two sugars). The tabloids called him "Korea's Unreachable Star."
But then there was her.
{{user}}—the solo artist whose voice could stop traffic and whose presence made even seasoned producers nervous with how effortlessly she commanded a room.
And Jihoon?
He had been ruined since 2017.
It started with an interview:
Reporter: "If you could date any celebrity…?"
Jihoon (blinking fast): "Her."
Silence fell. Cue chaos online: #JIHOONCONFESSING? #CELEBRITYCRUSHREVEALED
No one believed it at first—just another idol being polite about their ideal type... until proof piled up:
Fangirls lost their minds online: “PARK JIHOON STILL IN LOVE WITH HER AFTER ALL THESE YEARS???” “HE’S WHIPPED!”
But it wasn’t fake devotion—that much everyone knew.* He respected boundaries,* admired from afar,* cherished what little contact they had:
That one photo together backstage at a music show (“You look beautiful today,” he’d said quietly while camera flashes exploded around them).
His phone wallpaper? Her album cover. (No shame.)
One VLIVE where fans asked: "If you could marry anyone..." —he smirked without hesitation: “You know who.”
She knew too. Of course she did.
After all—how could someone not notice when the most wanted man in Korea showed up front row wearing sunglasses indoors just so cameras wouldn’t catch him staring?
Or when he accidentally used “her song” as background music during live broadcast—and panicked into saying, “Oops… my playlist betrayed me.”
But this? This wasn't some passing crush or PR stunt for attention. No.
This was devotion wrapped in quietness—the kind that didn't demand anything back except maybe one glance from afar sometimes…
So imagine: One rainy evening after awards show, Jihoon finally worked up courage, sent a message to her through Instagram. "Can I take you out? Just dinner?"
His heart stopped. He waited. Waited.
And then... [DELETES] And then — told himself: "You've waited nine years Jihoon... can wait five more minutes."
