A New Career Singer Who Can Read The Future [EN]: Chapter 222

“Are you serious, Noona [term of endearment used by a younger male to an older female]?”

Do Hyun was utterly astonished.

He had always imagined himself proposing, never Hana taking the initiative.

Besides, they weren’t even officially discussing their future together yet.

For marriage to be brought up so suddenly, and by her…

A proposal.

It felt like something Yuhana would do, yet… it was unbelievable. He was dumbfounded.

“Yeah. I’m not lying. I’m saying it with all my heart. To be honest… I’m really nervous. I’m pretending not to be, but I am.”

“…Noona.”

“Just don’t reject me. I’m so nervous about being rejected right now. What if workaholic Na Do Hyun rejects me… I can’t stop thinking about that.”

At those words, Do Hyun threw his head back and laughed loudly.

“Ha, haha… Why would I reject you? I was actually planning to say it first. I was going to say let’s get married once The Dreamer Label is stable. But I never imagined you’d say it first. Our relationship was based on the premise of marriage, but… I always felt like you could leave at any moment. I was insecure.”

“Why would you be insecure? I already promised to be by your side forever, didn’t I? Don’t worry. Unless I do something that makes the news, I’ll never leave your side. Not as Honey, either.”

That answer was so typically Yuhana. Do Hyun burst into laughter again.

“You know that’s a very Noona-like answer, right? I mean, who proposes while doing the voices of Singers No. 4 and No. 5… You’re really something, Noona.”

“…You’re not making fun of me, are you?”

“No. Absolutely not. I’m actually grateful you said it first. May our days together always be filled with happiness.”

“…So, you’re accepting?”

Hana spoke in a voice that sounded like she was about to cry.

Do Hyun hugged her tightly and replied.

“Of course. My answer has always been you, Hana.”

Hana smiled, overwhelmed with happiness at his wordplay, thinking that it was just like Na Do Hyun to say something like that. It was the happiest moment she could imagine.

The debut of Singers No. 4 and No. 5 passed by in a flash.

While they were preparing for their debut, Hana and Do Hyun were preparing for their wedding.

In truth, they didn’t want a grand ceremony.

Both Hana and Do Hyun wanted a small, intimate wedding.

They wanted to have a quiet ceremony with just their families.

However….

[Exclusive] Singer Na Do Hyun, in Love with Non-Celebrity in the Entertainment Industry… Marriage Soon

Singer Na Do Hyun is getting married.

According to recent reports, singer Na Do Hyun will be tying the knot.

The bride is reportedly a non-celebrity working in the entertainment industry. She and Na Do Hyun have known each other for a long time.

The couple’s wedding will be a small affair. A close acquaintance of Na Do Hyun told our publication, “It is true that Na Do Hyun is marrying someone he has known for a long time. However, both Na Do Hyun and his partner do not want a grand ceremony. They both take pride in their work and do not want to cause harm to each other’s careers, so they will be having a quiet family ceremony.”

Meanwhile, Na Do Hyun, as the head of Huent’s The Dreamer Label, has successfully debuted Singer No. 5, showcasing his abilities as a singer-songwriter and label representative.

“Who leaked this? Which bastard?”

The manager was furious, yelling at the PR team.

Kang Ho was also angry in front of the chaotic PR team.

“Seriously, who is this ‘close acquaintance’ spilling all the private details? I thought Do Hyun had already cut off anyone who would do that?”

“It’s probably some attention seeker….”

“Could it be someone from the girlfriend’s side? An entertainment reporter….”

“Shhh. It’ll be a joke if the girlfriend’s profession gets out in this industry. Just wait until that’s revealed. Then we’ll see what happens.”

Kang Ho silenced them.

The manager quietly shut his mouth.

“Ah… this is really awkward… Knowing the girlfriend’s profession too… We’re okay, we can gloss over it… but she’s the one who has to take all the heat, right?”

Kang Ho’s worries were becoming reality.

“Hana, is it true that you’re marrying Na Do Hyun? Is it just a rumor, or is it real?”

Juniors swarmed around Yuhana, bombarding her with questions.

Hana pretended not to know anything and continued writing her article.

“Do I look like I’m about to marry Na Do Hyun? I wish I was.”

“The senior reporter who released this article said it was you, Hana.”

“If I had that kind of power… that would be great. Did that reporter say that? That I’m the one?”

“The fans are already flooding us with inquiries. They’ve dug up all your personal information.”

“Huh… where? On social media?”

Then, the juniors showed her the results that came up when they searched ‘Na Do Hyun’s bride’ on social media.

Yuhana had been blocking external contacts, so she didn’t know these things were happening.

Hana switched her phone from airplane mode to normal mode.

Immediately, a flood of messages poured in.

Among them was a message from reporter Yoon Min-hye.

[Senior, are you really dating Na Do Hyun? More importantly, is it true that you’re getting married? Have you been lying to me all this time, pretending like nothing was happening? Was that why you said you were quitting the fandom?]

“…Huh. What should I say? This is awkward.”

Hana believed that she should at least be honest with her fellow fan.

However, her mind went blank, and she couldn’t think of anything to say.

“Senior, various media outlets are contacting us. Should we prepare an official statement from you?”

“No, why would a regular person like me need to make an official statement? Kill all the incoming calls and tell them to contact Huent. They should release an official statement, not me.”

“…Wait. Does that mean you’re really dating…?”

Everyone around Hana froze.

Hana’s words were practically an admission.

“Yes. We’re dating, and we’re preparing for marriage. Did you think I’d give an exclusive interview to another media outlet? Are you guys stupid? If we’re going to release something, it should be through our company, right? Would I just let another company say, ‘Yes, Yuhana is the one!’? Huh?”

Hana scolded her juniors with the sharp words of a senior reporter.

The juniors nodded blankly.

“Let’s do an interview now. But don’t use Yuhana’s name, just say we’re interviewing ‘Ms. A.’ Got it?”

“Yes… Senior… thank you. Huent will also prepare an official statement… so we’ll release the interview after that….”

“Do that.”

Thus, the interview between Yuhana and her juniors proceeded.

Yuhana explained how she became involved with the singer Na Do Hyun, not in detail, but vaguely enough. She completely omitted the fact that she was a fan.

Of course, it was revealed online that Yuhana was also a famous homma [Korean term for a dedicated fan who actively supports a celebrity] of Na Do Hyun. Some people protested, saying that Na Do Hyun shouldn’t have a relationship with a fan.

Yuhana’s private accounts were also thoroughly searched. Fortunately, Yuhana had cleaned up all her social media accounts when she started dating Do Hyun, so there wasn’t much information to dig up. That was the only saving grace.

“Wow… Na Do Hyun is so popular, the impact is huge… Company operations are paralyzed, and I can’t even answer the phone… There are so many protest calls… The fans are even sending fax attacks [a form of protest where fans send numerous faxes to overwhelm the recipient]… My inbox is so full that I can’t even receive press releases… I mean, can’t people date and get married quietly? Is this really happening over something like this?”

Hana didn’t respond to that. Now was the time to be cautious.

“I’m done with the interview, so from now on, no comment on anything. Any further questions should be directed to Na Do Hyun’s side. That’s all. Chief, can I have a meeting with you for a moment?”

Hana requested a meeting with the chief, who was happy that a big story had broken.

As the chief entered the conference room, Hana carefully followed.

“Team Leader Yoo, no, such a big scoop… So, how did you get to know Na Do Hyun….”

“That’s not important. I’m asking you to protect me at the company level now. That’s what I’m here to talk about.”

“Ah?”

“It’s good that you’re releasing articles and all, but honestly, I’m uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable. I’m uncomfortable with the way my juniors are looking at me. I did the interview for the company’s sake, but… I don’t like it. I know how my juniors see me. So, Chief, please be my shield.”

It was a desperate request from Hana.

“Hmm… Well, Yoo, we’ve been together for a while… and you’ve done what you could as the subject of an exclusive article… I should do what I can too. I don’t want to lose a reporter. From now on, I’ll cover everything related to you.”

“Thank you, Chief.”

“No. It’s what I should do. I wonder if I made you uncomfortable by being too excited.”

“No. I appreciate you thinking that way.”

“By the way… just one question. This is off the record, and I won’t tell anyone. Why a family ceremony when you could have a grand wedding?”

The chief asked, genuinely curious.

“Do Hyun and I both don’t want anything noisy. We’ve been meeting quietly and carefully, and we didn’t want the fact that we’re getting married to be known. That’s why we’re proceeding quietly like this.”

“Ah… I see. Well, Yoo, I think it’s a good choice. It’s not my place to interfere. I’ll make sure to give a generous….”

“No. We’re not accepting congratulatory money either. We really want to keep it quiet.”

Hana said confidently.

It was something she and Do Hyun had already agreed on.

There was no need to receive congratulatory money for a family ceremony.

They had also decided to keep the wedding rings very simple.

The simple platinum band on Hana’s fourth finger was their wedding band.

“Hehe… Still, as an elder, I want to do something to congratulate you… Can’t I do something to celebrate? The company’s welfare policy includes congratulatory money.”

“No. I’ll gratefully accept your good wishes! Well… I’ll trust that you’ll be my strong shield, and I’ll end our conversation here.”

“Okay. Oh, and you should leave work early in case reporters swarm you. Now.”

“Yes, thank you!”
