That next morning, I left the ATEEZ dorms to go back to my own dorm and get ready for my film day. It will be another 12-hour shoot day, which at this point, I'm used to now. After living in Korea for nearly 2 years now, I'm getting used to this life now. I've also graduated from Dongguk University, which has to be one of my proudest moments ever. On top of that, I've been getting a lot of attention for the past year, though, since I've been filming Love in Focus. I've been gaining a lot of fans as well. Usually, I keep to myself, and I'm shy, but suddenly getting all this attention, I'm not used to it. Being famous has it's perks for sure, but it also has it's downsides. I don't like all this attention, most of the time, but at least I have lots of fans who support me.

I practice my lines, film my scenes with Eunwoo and the other actors, and finish filming for the day, 12 hours later. It's always so tiring, but I am trying my best to keep up my energy when I most need it. Today, though. There is just something about today. I'm just not feeling it. I'm currently in the green room, bawling my eyes out because of just how exhausted I am. Eunwoo comes into the room to comfort me.
"Hey, 괜찮아요?" Eunwoo asked(Are you okay?)
"아나요." I sobbed(No)
"왜요?" Eunwoo asked(Why?)
"피곤해요." I said, sniffling(I'm tired)
"쉬었어요?" Eunwoo asked(Did you rest?)
"조금." I said(A little)
"조금?! 당신은 조금 이상 쉬어야 해요." Eunwoo said(You need to rest more than a little)
"알고 있어요." I said(I know)
"이봐요, 집에 일찍 가는군요." Eunwoo said(C'mon, you're going home early)
"은우 오빠." I blurted(Eunwoo oppa)
"뭐어요?" Eunwoo asked(What?)
"I'm just missing my 남친 lately." I said(남친 = boyfriend)
"Who is your boyfriend?" Eunwoo asked.
"최 산." I said(Choi San)
"산, like in ATEEZ?" Eunwoo asked.
"네." I said(Yep)
"오, him." Eunwoo said(Oh)
"Mhm, we've both been busy lately." I said.
"Let him know that you miss him like say; 산, 보고 싶습나다." Eunwoo said(San, I miss you)
"네, 알았어요." I said(Yeah, okay)

Eunwoo and I are sitting in the green room when. . . BAM! San bursts through the door.
"I heard everything you said, here." San said, handing me a bouquet of flowers.
"Aww, thank you." I said.
"Happy 1st anniversary, 자기야." San said(Babe/Honey/Darling)
"Aww, 감사합니다." I said(Thank you)
"천만에요." San said(You're welcome)
"사랑해." I said(I love you)
"나도 사랑해." San said(I love you, too)
"Aww, 애교." Eunwoo said(Cute)
"은우 선배님, 감사합니다." San said(Eunwoo, senior, thank you)
"별말씀을요." Eunwoo said(Don't mention it)
San and I spend time hanging out in the green room while Eunwoo explained to my director why I'm missing right now. I should be on set, but there are priorities right now. San is my priority.

San kept telling me that my heart made him fall in love with me. That my kindness and all, had him head over heels in love with me. Aww, that is the cutest thing ever. I love San for his hard-working and kind personality. Sure, he has the looks, but he also has a big heart. He is also protective of me when it comes to times when I'm hurt. That is why I cherish San the most. The fact that he cares more than I've ever seen before. He's cared more than the other exes I've had, and I haven't had many.

Later that evening, I left set early, with Eunwoo saving me. I really didn't want to continue on filming today. I wanted to spend my 1st anniversary with San, but we're just so busy. It's hard to even hang out normally. Today, since it is our first anniversary together, San wanted to reveal our relationship. We are both considered celebrities in Korea, so we feel like it is a good time to reveal the truth to our fans. To let people know that we really are a couple. San was the first to post on Twitter, then shared it to Instagram, fan cafe, Daum, etc.

Then, it was my turn. I posted to all my public social media accounts that I am, in fact in a relationship with San of ATEEZ. My caption/tweet/message on Daum Cafe went like this:
Everyone! The rumors are true! I am in fact in a love relationship with San of ATEEZ. We ask for nothing but your love and support of our relationship. If anyone makes malicious comments about our relationship, legal actions will be taken against those. Thank you so much for your support of me, and respecting our privacy. You guys are the best!

As soon as the messages went live, San and I got an outpouring of overwhelming support. San and I were surprised at the amount of fan drawings and fan mail we received after that. The fan art that our fans sent us is incredibly good. I'm impressed with just how talented our fans are. They never fail to impress me as well. San goes on and on about how much he loves and appreciates ATINY for all they do.
