There was a flurry of activity inside the company. They organized a press conference today. It was also live streamed.

They published an article this morning about a BTS member with a family. The fans are in a frenzy. Some of them seemed pleased. Some people had expressed their disappointment.

I will be there with my brothers to show their support. Hannah and Yoon-Ji will stay at home, accompanied by Helene and Karisa. I wanted to bring them along, but our bosses warned that it would be dangerous, particularly for my daughter.

Fans gathered along the streets leading up to our building's entrance. They cheered as we exited our car. They are curious as to which of the seven was mentioned in the article.

"Let us all settle down, ladies and gentlemen," the emcee said.

I took a seat on the platform alone. The media representatives' expressions were clearly surprised. The cameras flashed continuously.

"Before you ask any questions, I would like to thank everyone who helped me on my journey to becoming an idol." I rose from my seat and took a bow.

If you continue to support me after this," I looked around at everyone present, "I will be grateful. However, if you decide not to continue supporting me, I deeply regret disappointing you.

"The article written this morning is about me." I admitted. There was a collective murmur among the reporters. "I fell in love with a girl several years ago, and we have been together ever since. My girlfriend and I had been in a situation that I cannot discuss because it is very private. I had only found out I was a father a few weeks before our concert and met my daughter for the first time yesterday. She is two years old now. "Her name is Min Yoon-Ji."

An applause erupted as a photo of Yoon-Ji was displayed on the monitor. "Isn’t she adorable?" I boasted proudly. Many people agreed.

One of the reporters raised her hand and approached the microphone at the front. "Can I ask who your daughter's mother is?" She inquired politely.

"My girlfriend and my daughter's mother is Hannah Choi," I admitted openly, as a photo of Hanna was also displayed on the monitor.

A loud gasp echoed throughout the room. "So the leaked photos and rumors were true?" one of the reporters inquired.

"Yes," I respond.

The news of my having a family has spread rapidly. Many fans had expressed their support, though some had decided to leave the fandom. We cannot prevent them from doing so.

Our company had already issued an announcement asking everyone to refrain from sharing Yoon-Ji's photos or videos. Anyone who is caught will face appropriate consequences.

Later that day, Helene informed us that their parents and older brother had arrived in South Korea.

Hannah and I became nervous, but Helene assured us that everything was fine. Tomorrow, my parents and I will face them together.

My parents arrived this afternoon. They are thrilled to meet my daughter. My mother is completely smitten with her. My father gave me a pat on the back. Yoon-Ji slept with them tonight.

Yoon-Ji and I awoke very early. I did not bother waking Hannah up so she could get some sleep. Last night, I let her know and feel how much I had missed her over the last two years.

I helped my young daughter shower, brush her teeth, and change into a cute outfit. It is my first time, and I thought I was doing great until I tried to tie her hair. Yoon-Ji's hair is styled into lopsided piggies. Thankfully, she did not complain. She is eating her waffles with contentment. I think I need a lesson on how to tie your daughter's hair.

Hannah walked into the kitchen, and I noticed she was holding back her laughter.

"Please do not laugh. I warned her: "This is my first time doing it."

To keep her laughter hidden, she pretended to cough. She approaches our daughter and fixes Yoonji's hairstyle.

I handed her a plate of waffles topped with her favourite strawberry jam.

Her phone rang while we were having breakfast. Her face paled as she saw the number. It is a call from her home. I immediately stood up and hugged her from behind. I am telling her silently that everything is okay. She is not alone anymore. She answered the phone and switched to speaker mode.

"Hello, Helene?" Hannah tried to keep her voice from shaking. Her hands felt cold when I held them.

"Hannah?" I overheard her sister ask. "Someone would like to speak with you. "Do not worry, everything will be fine." She gave her assurances.

"Okay," Hannah answers.

"Hannah, this is aboeji."I heard the voice say from the other line.

"Aboeji," Hannah said softly, tears in her eyes.

"Please come home." Her father said. "Bring my son-in-law and granddaughter with you, Hannah. "Please come home.

"Yes, Aboeji." Her voice was strained and filled with controlled emotion.

Hannah burst into tears after she finished the phone call. I hugged her close. I felt relieved as well. Everything appears to be okay.

"Me toooo, appa, momma." We both noticed Yoonji, who was reaching out to us from her seat. I held her, and we all hugged.

Hannah's parents welcomed us with warmth.
Her mother eagerly took Yoon-Ji from me and refused to let her go.

My father and Hannah's father struck up an instant rapport. I had never met her older brother before. I thought he would be like their father, but I was mistaken. He shared similarities with Helene and Hannah.

"When can we expect the wedding?" Hannah's dad inquired.

"Soon, Sir," I assured him.

"Call me Aboeji," he said.

"Yes, aboeji."

It was as if a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders.

That evening, I proposed to Hannah. I could not have been happier when she said yes.
