Two weeks had passed since Y/N’s interview with the magazine, and life had settled into a comfortable routine. The days were filled with work, planning for the future, and quiet moments shared with Namjoon. The initial buzz surrounding their relationship had started to calm down, and Y/N was grateful for the relative peace that had come with it.
But today, the quiet was about to be interrupted.
The magazine had finally released the interview. The moment the article went live, social media platforms and news outlets picked up on it, eager to dissect every word. Y/N knew this would happen, but even with the anticipation, it still felt surreal to see her words and thoughts laid out for the world to read.
She was at home when the notifications on her phone started buzzing non-stop. Curiosity piqued, she picked up her phone and scrolled through the messages and alerts. Friends, fans, and even colleagues were already reacting to the interview, and the responses were pouring in.
Namjoon, who had been working in the studio, noticed the sudden change in her demeanor and walked over to her. "Is it out?" he asked, his voice calm but with a hint of concern.
Y/N nodded, holding up her phone to show him. "Yeah, it’s everywhere now."
They sat down together on the couch, their phones in hand, as they began to read through the responses. The interview had been well-received; many fans and readers appreciated her honesty and the insight she provided into her life and career. The questions about her relationship with Namjoon, while delicate, had been handled gracefully, and the public seemed to respect that.
"This one’s sweet," Y/N said with a smile as she read aloud a comment from a fan. "‘I’m so happy for Y/N and Namjoon! It’s clear they really care about each other. I’m looking forward to seeing more of their journey together.’"
Namjoon leaned in to read over her shoulder, a small smile playing on his lips. "It’s nice to see people being supportive. I was a bit worried about how some might react, but this is better than I expected."
Y/N nodded in agreement, continuing to scroll through the comments. "Yeah, it’s actually really heartwarming. I think the way we handled things helped. We didn’t give too much away, but we also didn’t hide anything. People appreciate the honesty."
They spent some time reading through more comments, occasionally sharing the ones that stood out to them. The overwhelming positivity was a relief, but there were also a few critical voices, as was to be expected. Y/N tried not to let those get to her, focusing instead on the love and support from fans who genuinely cared about her happiness.
Namjoon noticed a shift in her expression as she came across a more critical comment. He reached over and took her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Hey, don’t let those get to you. We knew not everyone would be on board, but that’s okay. What matters is that we’re happy, and most people can see that."
Y/N squeezed his hand back, grateful for his steady presence. "You’re right. It’s just... I want to make sure we’re doing the right thing, you know? But seeing how much support we have—it helps."
Namjoon smiled softly and kissed her temple. "We are doing the right thing, Y/N. We’re living our lives, being honest, and loving each other. That’s all that matters."
With Namjoon’s words echoing in her mind, Y/N felt a renewed sense of confidence. The interview was out, the public knew more about their relationship, and they were still standing strong. No matter what challenges lay ahead, they had each other—and that was enough.
As the day went on, the buzz around the interview continued, but Y/N and Namjoon chose to focus on the positive. They spent the rest of the day together, enjoying the calm after the storm, knowing that whatever came next, they would face it together, side by side.
