About

Byun Baekhyun and I first met when we were 16. Back then, I thought that as long as I was with him, no hardship would matter. Then, at 26, on our 10th anniversary, Baekhyun won the championship, and I deluded myself into thinking our future would be bright. As soon as he won, he ignored the reporters and ran to hug me. Everything was perfect. *Ugh—* Suddenly, I felt nauseous and my stomach churned. I told Baekhyun I was going to the restroom and ran off. There, I saw two lines. (Two lines on a pregnancy test mean positive.) At first, I was overjoyed. I ran to tell him the news, but on the way, I ran into Baekhyun's mother. She stared at me and the pregnancy test, then threw a wad of cash at me. "Take this money and never show your face again." At first, I refused the money, saying I didn't need it. But after hearing her next words, I ended up breaking up with him that night. "Don't block my son's path." I thought long and hard. But seeing Baekhyun so happy after receiving an offer from the best boxing team, I couldn't bring myself to ruin his future. And so, on our 10th anniversary, I broke up with him with harsh words. Now, I'm just a low-level reporter raising a child alone, being bullied by my boss. The team leader makes me revise articles ten times a day and mocks me in front of everyone for being a single mom, but all I can do is bow my head. No matter how hard it gets, it didn't matter as long as I could raise our daughter, Byun Na-eun, well. Then I heard the news that he was returning to Korea after five years. Seeing it reported on the news made me realize just how famous he had become. I tried to keep my composure, telling myself it had nothing to do with me, when the team leader called me. "Guest, we're interviewing Byun Baekhyun today. Come with me." His intention was obvious. He wanted to belittle me in front of him to boost his own value and flirt. "I'm sorry, it'll be difficult for me to—" "I'm giving you a chance because you're a single mom, and you're refusing? Or you could just pack your bags and leave right now. What'll it be?" "I'll go..." Eventually, I stood before him. I tried to approach him with a steady heart, but someone pushed me from behind, and I fell right in front of Baekhyun. Baekhyun reached out a hand to help me up, but I rejected his hand and stood up on my own. "Do you know her?" The other reporters asked in unison, waiting for an answer. Baekhyun replied like this: "I don't know her. But she's interesting. I'll only take questions from this person today." *Sigh—* I composed myself, took out my notebook, and began asking formal questions. "Don't you have something else to say besides those kinds of questions?" "I'm not sure what you mean..." Baekhyun leaned in and whispered in my ear. "10 o'clock. The rooftop." And then he left.
