You were the face of K-pop, a globally recognized solo idol, beloved by millions. Everyone knew your name, your voice, and your style. And then there was Ji-yong, the King of K-pop himself, known as G-Dragon. You had been secretly dating for months, and your relationship was as protected as your personal lives.

From the very beginning, you had made it clear that posting photos with such subtle signs wasn’t a good idea. You knew how attentive fans could be, how quickly they could piece things together and create theories and you didn’t want haters bombarding your social media or your boyfriend’s either.

But Ji-yong just shrugged.

“Jagiya, I’m already 37,” he said one night, sprawled on the couch next to you, scrolling through his Instagram feed. “If my fans truly support me, they’ll have to support you too. We also have the right to be happy.”

You just sighed, running your fingers through his hair, but didn’t press the issue. He seemed convinced.

And that’s how the signs began.

First, you posted a photo from a Chanel event. Hours later, Ji-yong posted a selfie from the exact same spot, with the same background decor. Coincidence? Not even close. The fans noticed immediately.

Then came something even more obvious: a photo of him showing his painted nails, something typical of his style… except for the details. On his index finger, a delicate letter your initial. On his middle finger, his own. The caption was just a simple “♡…”

The comments exploded:

“THAT IS DEFINITELY Y/n’s initial!” “They’re not even trying to hide it anymore” “My parents are dating… I fully support this!” "I don't know if I want to be him or her, they're both lucky."

And of course there were also a lot of nasty comments:

"I thought GD had good taste..." "No, just no." "She deserves more than this" "He wouldn't let me down like that"

With every post, the rumors grew stronger. Memes, fan edits, theories. And yet, neither of you confirmed anything officially.

Until the day you decided to go live.

You were at his house, bored, and decided to start a quick broadcast: answering fan questions, talking a little about your upcoming album. Everything was going smoothly… until the unmistakable sound of the bathroom door opening behind you.

Your heart stopped for a second. You had completely forgotten to tell Ji-yong that you were live before he went into the bathroom.

He appeared casually, his hair still wet, drying it with a white towel draped over his shoulders. His thin T-shirt clung to his damp body, revealing tattoos beneath the fabric, and his gray sweatpants hung lazily on his hips.

He walked slowly, completely unaware of the phone in front of you and the flood of comments starting to appear.

The chat exploded within seconds: “IS THAT G-DRAGON???” “WAIT… IS SHE AT HIS PLACE?” “OH MY GOD, I FULLY SUPPORT THEM!"

You panicked, struggling to end the live stream, your hands fumbling with the phone… Your heart raced as your fingers finally found the “end stream” button, but the damage was already done. The livestream had lasted only two and a half minutes, but it was more than enough to set the internet on fire. Screen recordings were already flooding Twitter, TikTok, and fan forums. Headlines were being written in real time. You sat frozen on the couch, phone still in hand, eyes wide.

Ji-yong blinked as he approached, still holding the towel, completely unaware of what had just happened. “What happened, Jagiya?” he asked, tilting his head as he saw the shocked expression on your face.
