Idol of the Heavenly One - vanish into fiction

“Jae-heon! You look so handsome today, like a newlywed. So, who is the bride?”

Wasn’t that the kind of question people asked back in the day? It was tactless, lacking sense, and honestly, what was I supposed to do with it? The only impressive answer would be, “The bride is our MINIT—” and that’s it. MINIT wouldn’t even be moved by such a reply. Honestly, it would have been better to tell them what we had for dinner tonight.

“Ah… I already got that question earlier.”

“Huh?! From whom?”

Then Baek Jae-heon suddenly gave a surprising answer. At the same time, I remembered the conversation we had earlier on the emergency stairs. ‘He does look like a newlywed.’ The MC and I weren’t really different after all. Just as I started feeling a little embarrassed, Baek Jae-heon suddenly turned to look at me.

“Cheonmyeong said I look like a newlywed today…”

“Ah, Cheonmyeong said that! So! What did you answer?”

“I asked Cheonmyeong, then, who is my bride?”

“And? What did Cheonmyeong say?”

“He said… it could be the groom instead of the bride.”

Was he really insane? I tried to keep my expression composed, but I couldn’t hide my shock and was left dumbfounded. Baek Jae-heon burst out laughing at my reaction, and the other members also laughed, teasing me in a playful way.

“A proactive man, Ji Myeong-hyeon.”

“So, beauty must be won over.”

“You all should live boldly like this too.”

My stunned expression made the reporters laugh as they fired their cameras, and in the end, I ended up trending in real-time search with phrases like ‘No, Ji Myeong-hyeon,’ ‘Could be the groom,’ and ‘Proactive.’

Meanwhile, the MC asked, “Last year… weren’t you our ‘hero’? Do you know how long we waited for Myeong-hyeon to return? Say something!” I stammered as I answered.

“Everyone… stay safe and get home safely.”

Of course, no one actually heard my answer. All anyone could see was my flustered expression circulating online.

No, Ji Myeong-hyeon is such an unpredictable man. He seems like he doesn’t want to do a business-style gay performance, but behind the scenes, he’s completely genuine with Baek Jae-heon. When asked who the bride is, he says it could be the groom instead. Honestly, he’s the boldest man I’ve ever seen.

Does someone really have to be as bold as Ji Myeong-hyeon to get Baek Jae-heon? Fans, what do you think?

What’s funny about Ji Myeong-hyeon is that at work, if he’s forced into a business-style gay performance, he visibly looks so uncomfortable. He carefully keeps his distance during photoshoots or promotional shoots. But after that, he personally initiates an incredibly bold secret gesture for Baek Jae-heon.

They did couple bracelets, but since it would be obvious if it was just the two of them, the other members joined in too. The bracelet’s design had a unique connection between Baek and him. Even though it was revealed to be Baek’s idea, Ji Myeong-hyeon was the one who first suggested making matching bracelets.

And today’s new moment:

Cheonmyeong: “Looks like a newlywed today!”

Baek: “Who’s the bride?”

Cheonmyeong: “Could be the groom.”

Isn’t this just boldness to the extreme? Isn’t he trying to seduce him? Personally, I’d assume they’re dating after that. Really.

The problem isn’t Ji Myeong-hyeon. Right, fine, he can say that behind the scenes. The real audacity is Baek Jae-heon saying it in front of everyone.

Ji Myeong-hyeon wanted to do bracelets with the members, but he bought a separate one for himself to match only with Baek Jae-heon’s bracelet.

After hearing “Could be the groom,” Ji Myeong-hyeon interpreted it as a proposal and excitedly revealed it during the interview. Watching Ji Myeong-hyeon make that ‘why’d you tell everyone, it was our secret!’ expression while laughing, I thought Baek Jae-heon’s boldness was even worse.
