"So, Jiyong… fans have noticed you’ve been really happy lately. Anything—or anyone—behind that?"

At the mention of you, Jiyong immediately bites back a smile. His fingers fidget with his rings, his ears turning just the slightest bit pink.

"Uh…" he chuckles, looking down for a second before shaking his head. "Yah, you guys are sneaky."

"Come on, just a little hint!"

"A hint?" He sighs, but his grin is already giving him away. He leans back in his seat, rubbing the back of his neck. "Okay, okay… I mean, what can I say? I’m just—" he pauses, then exhales like he can’t believe he’s about to expose himself this much. "I’m crazy about her."

The interviewer laughs as Jiyong tries (and fails) to keep his cool. He glances at the camera, shaking his head with a shy smile.

"She's just… the best. Like, I’ll be exhausted from schedules, but the second I see her? Boom. Energy restored. It’s like magic."

"Sounds serious," the interviewer teases.

"Serious?" Jiyong scoffs playfully before nodding. "Oh, I’m doomed. She smiles at me once, and suddenly, I’m writing five love songs about her."

"So we should expect a love album soon?"

"Don’t tempt me. I’ll do it."

He laughs, running a hand through his hair before looking at the camera again.

"Actually… if you’re watching this—yah, you better be watching—just know I miss you. And I’ll see you soon."
