UNDER THE SEOUL SKY

CHAPTER 11: LOVE IN THE SPOTLIGHT

The next morning, the internet exploded.

📸 “K-Pop’s Most Eligible Idol Caught with Mysterious Girl!”

📸 “Who is the Indian Beauty in Namjin’s Life?”

📸 “From Corporate Scandal to Love Story — The Truth Behind the Viral Couple!”

Every news outlet, every gossip page, every fan account was filled with their photos — the kiss, the party, the moment Namjin said “That’s my girl.”

Anaya’s phone wouldn’t stop buzzing.

Nova called immediately.

“Girl, you’re trending in Korea! Number ONE!”

Anaya groaned. “That’s not funny.”

But deep down, she couldn’t hide her smile.

Meanwhile, Namjin sat in his agency’s office, surrounded by his management team.

His manager said, “You know this could damage your image. We can still deny it—”

Namjin interrupted, firm and calm.

“No. I won’t lie. She’s my girlfriend.”

Everyone went silent. Even the CEO looked shocked.

“Are you sure about this, Namjin? Fans can be harsh.”

He smiled faintly. “Then let them be. I’m not just an idol. I’m a person who loves.”

That evening, Anaya received a call — it was Namjin.

“Turn on your TV,” he said.

She switched it on — and there he was, sitting in front of cameras during a live interview.

The host asked, “There are rumors about a relationship with a foreign girl. Is it true?”

Namjin smiled directly at the camera and said,

“Yes. Her name is Anaya. She’s strong, brave, and the reason I’ve learned what real love feels like.”

Anaya’s eyes filled with tears as the world watched him choose her — not his fame.

---

The next day, both hate and love poured in from fans.

Some comments were cruel, some protective, and some deeply supportive.

Anaya stayed off social media, but Namjin sent her a message:

> “Don’t read the noise. Just look up — that’s where I am, always waiting for you.”

That night, they met at the Han River again — the same place where it all started.

The lights reflected on the water, and Namjin took her hand.

“People can say anything they want,” he said softly.

“But I’ll protect this love — no matter how loud the world gets.”

Anaya smiled, resting her head on his shoulder.

“You already did, Namjin.”

And under the glowing Seoul skyline, two worlds — idol and dreamer, fame and freedom — finally found their balance.
