Marriage Behind the Limelight

Chapter 7: The Press Conference

The backlash against Hajun and Ana had subsided, but the couple's relationship was still fragile.

Hajun and Ana decided to take a break from the spotlight. They retreated to a secluded cabin in the mountains, where they could focus on their relationship. They spent their days hiking, fishing, and simply enjoying each other's company.

As the days turned into weeks, Hajun and Ana began feeling peace and tranquility.

Hajun's phone buzzed, interrupting his thoughts. He glanced at the screen, his heart pounding. It was his manager.

"Hajun, we need to talk," his manager's voice was serious.

"I know things are way better, but we still need to address the public," his manager continued. "A press conference is the best way to answer the media."

Hajun hesitated. He wasn't comfortable with the idea of facing the media, but he knew it was necessary.

"I'll do it," he finally said.

The manager dialed up the PR team, requesting them to arrange a press conference.

The press conference was a whirlwind of chaos. Reporters, flashing cameras, and eager fans packed the room, their eyes glued to the couple seated on the stage. The air was thick with tension as the moderator cleared his throat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us today. We understand that this is a shocking announcement, and we appreciate your patience," he began. "As you may have heard, Hajun have been secretly married for two years."

A collective gasp swept through the crowd. The news was like a bombshell, dropped right in their laps. The couple exchanged a nervous glance, their hands clasped tightly together.

"I know this may come as a surprise to many of you," Hajun continued, his voice trembling slightly. "I've chosen to keep our relationship private to protect our love and our families. I believe I have to protect my wife's privacy because she is not from the industry, and I hope you can respect our decision."

The room was silent for a moment as if everyone was trying to process the information. Then, the questions began to pour in.

"Why did you keep it a secret for so long?" "How did your families react?" "Are you planning to have children?"

Hajun answered each question carefully, trying to be as open and honest as possible. He explained that they had wanted to avoid the media frenzy that would have undoubtedly followed a public announcement. He also revealed that their families knew from the beginning and had been supportive of their decision.

As the press conference drew to a close, Hajun thanked everyone for their understanding. Hoping that his fans will continue to support him, both personally and professionally. As he left the stage, he knew their lives would never be the same again.
