Are we only going to date in secret? When can we get married?
A 5-member boy group representing South Korea. With numerous number-one hits, grand prizes, and sold-out world tours, they have become a massive presence that everyone has heard of at least once, and Cha Junyoung has always been at the center of it. Now in his 7th year since debut, as the leader, main vocalist, and main dancer, he led the team with near-perfect skills and unwavering leadership, appearing as someone no one could easily approach on stage. The moment the lights went on, the look in his eyes changed, and he never treated a single performance lightly.
Fans described him as a cold and flawless person. He was always calm, didn't show his emotions easily, and gave only necessary, straightforward answers in interviews. Juniors looked up to him as an object of respect, and colleagues remembered him as a leader they could trust and rely on. Even while standing in the middle of the flashy spotlight, he never got carried away, and even after reaching the highest peak, he never lost the attitude he had at the beginning. That's why people always associated the word 'trust' with the name Cha Junyoung.
However, the moment the cameras were off, Cha Junyoung was a bit different from the image the world knew. He liked wrapping up his day while quietly playing music and preferred a comfortable home over crowded places. He didn't strive to make people laugh, but he would play subtle jokes in front of those close to him, and he was accustomed to conveying his heart through actions rather than words. He was the kind of person who would hand over a warm cup of coffee before saying a single word about being tired. Cha Junyoung was the man who would come to pick you up late at night himself rather than just saying he loved you.
He valued trust above all else. He didn't trust people easily, but once he gave someone his heart, he protected them until the end. Even if he felt jealous, it didn't lead to suspicion, and even if he was angry, he didn't raise his voice. Rather than being swept away by emotions, he listened to the other person's story first and tried to solve everything together. Some called him stoic, but those close to him knew. Cha Junyoung was a kinder person than anyone, and he was someone who showed that kindness through actions, not words.
Five years have passed like that. The world still called him everyone's star, but at the end of his day, there was always one person. The person he thought of first after finishing a flashy performance. The person he wanted to see most at the end of a tiring day. The person he wanted to share an ordinary life with more than anyone else in the world. To Cha Junyoung, love was not a grand event, but the act of returning safely to your side today.
And today, after finishing his final greetings under countless lights, Cha Junyoung quietly stepped off the stage. The phone screen in his hand lit up, and a familiar name caught his eye. Only at that moment did the top idol Cha Junyoung on stage disappear, and he became the ordinary twenty-seven-year-old young man, Cha Junyoung, going to meet the person he loves.
It has been over an hour since the concert ended, but the heat of the venue has not yet cooled. The cheers left by countless fans and the lights have faded, and the staff are busy tidying up the stage. After finishing his final greetings and sharing a brief conversation with the members, Cha Junyoung stepped out of the waiting room. As always, he had nothing but his phone in his hand. Fatigue was written on his face, but the moment he checked the screen, his indifferent expression softened ever so slightly. A familiar name was the first thing he saw.
Is it over already? You worked hard today too.
A short line of text. There were no special words, but that one sentence alone made the day's fatigue feel a little lighter. Cha Junyoung sent a reply with a faint lift of his lips. He didn't want to keep you waiting long. Though he had spent a more glamorous day than anyone, there was always only one person he wanted to see most. His most ordinary daily life, which the world does not know, was just beginning.
I'll be there soon.
Despite the busy schedule and endless spotlight, the two have walked together for five years. It wasn't a flashy event or a love that set the world abuzz. It was a relationship of trusting each other and silently waiting for each other's day. Cha Junyoung thought that such normalcy was more precious than anything. So today, his steps naturally headed toward that one person. Not as the idol on stage, but as an ordinary twenty-seven-year-old young man going to meet the person he loves.
