“Are you ready?” Jihoon asked his handled artist as he helped him wear his coat.

“What do you feel?” Jihoon secondly asked, this time tidying his coat.

“A little bit nervous” Jihoon displayed a comforting smile trying to relay his motivation to the actor through his smile.

“It's okay, just be yourself and tell what you feel” his manager adviced before tapping his shoulders.

“What if they're disappointed at me? What if I receive negative reactions from them?” Haruto worriedly asked his manager.

Jihoon couldn't help but to chuckle, he understands how nervous the actor was right at this moment. Well, he was not usually like this at press conferences but he knows why he was nervous at this press con.

“Don't think about what they'll say, Ruto. Love comes to every person normally. You can always love someone freely. What matters the most right now is your feelings, Jeongwoo's feelings. Your relationship, that's your top priority right now”

“Besides, all your life you lived upon reaching everyone's expectations. And so this time, choose yourself. Don't be afraid of showing them that you love someone right now”

Well, Haruto undeniably calmed down a bit after what Jihoon said because he was really right. Living for his happiness is not that bad right now.

“Thank you, hyung. I'll be confident”

“That's my boy right there, goodluck!”

“Ohh and... heard your boyfriend is already outside, do your best!” Jihoon informed the actor.

Boyfriend.

Never thought that would make his heart jump out his chest. Oh god, his effect on the actor was just unmatched.

The moment between the actor and his manager was forced to stop as a staff called Haruto signalling that he should come on the stage.

The actor lastly fixed his coat and took a deep breath before stepping out of the stage.

As soon as he reached the stage, he was greeted by the media, people's loud yells and screams and well, the blinding flashes of camera.

But despite that, despite the blinding camera flashes, he could clearly see the love of his life behind the media, wearing a gray slacks paired with a white long sleeved polo shirt that was folded up to his forearm, smiling lovingly and clapping his hands for him.

His smile grew more wider as he was just preventing himself from running towards him.

He was guided by the host to sit at the prepared table and chair.

The first interview questions went well, everytime he would stop at his sentence he would go and look at his boyfriend who would not stop smiling at him.

“Good day, Mr. Watanabe. A year ago, we received a news from you. Is it really true that you are dating someone now?”

This time, Haruto's heart started to beat unstoppable out of anxiousness. He had been expecting this question but he was still nervous now that he heard of it.

Jeongwoo's smile faded as it was replaced by a worried look. He was damn worried of him.

It took Haruto a couple of minutes before he finally lifted his mic, ready to speak.

At that moment, Jihoon's words replayed on his mind. If he admits it now, it means he's already choosing his own happiness now.

He again looked at Jeongwoo, he really doesn't deserved to be hidden.

“Well...”

Everyone was quiet, anticipating his answer to the question. Everyone wants to know because it's been a year and they never heard anything from the actor after that.

“I am happy right now, with someone”

“So, does that mean you are dating someone?”

“Yes.” he said without any hesitations.

He could hear the gasps from everyone but nonetheless, it feels like a bone was removed from his throat. It feels lighter for him.

“And so, for all of my supporters I do want to apologize if you all feel disappointed of me. But I don't want to hide this from all of you anymore. I lived all my life trying to reach everyone's expectations and so I wanted to choose myself this time, what makes me happy, or should I say WHO makes me happy”

Haruto was more happier when he heard majority of the audience yelled, 'you don't have to apologize, it's okay'. Everyone's reaction was honestly the conplete opposite from his expectations.

“What makes you fall in love with that person?”

Oh god, how he loved this topic.

“Well, we might reach until night if I enumerate it all but all I can say is that because he was being himself when we're together. I love his humor, his personality, all of him. He makes me the happiest person when I am with him”

The audience cooed and squealed at his answer.

“Would it be okay to tell us if he's here?”

Haruto immediately smiled and nodded.

Well, he was actually hesitant at first but now that he was comfortable, he's actually okay with it now.

“He is here”

He saw the CEO of his company standing beside the stage, smiling at him as he cheered him to go to his boyfriend. And so, he did.

Haruto jumped off the stage as he walked down the red carpet and went on Jeongwoo's direction.

He saw how the younger became red as the carpet and looking nervous as he saw the actor coming closer to him.

The media and audience are squealing when he offered his hand at Jeongwoo which the younger gladly took.

He immediately dragged the younger on the stage as he went to check up on him.

“I'm sorry, did I startled you?” Haruto asked his boyfriend.

“No baby, what I was thinking is if it all okay with you. Are you comfortable with this?”

“Yes I am, don't worry about me”

The audience started requesting for a kiss and the two just stared at each other, shyly smiling towards each other.

⭐⭐⭐

“You look good today” Jeongwoo complimented as he played with Haruto's hair, sitting beside each other at Woo's apartment.

“What? Do you want to kiss me now?” he jokingly asked his boyfriend.

“May I?”

“You don't have to ask me” the actor said pulling the younger korean's nape, kissing his lips.

“Oh god, I love you” the korean blurted out after the kiss.

“Guess who loves you more, of course it's me”

“Oh wait, I forgot to give you something”

Jeongwoo took something from his pocket and gave a small box at his boyfriend.

It was a star necklace with a little note under it.

Dear my star,
keep shining for me.
I would always come to admire you
no matter how far you are.
