A month had passed, and Y/N was finally starting to feel like herself again. The morning sickness that had plagued her for weeks had lessened, and her energy levels were gradually returning. With her health on the upswing, she was ready to step back into the spotlight and continue with her work.

Today was a big day—her first interview since the news of her relationship with Namjoon had been made public. The interview was with a popular magazine that had always supported her career, and they were eager to discuss her upcoming projects as well as her personal life. Y/N knew that questions about her relationship with Namjoon were inevitable, but she felt prepared to handle them.

She arrived at the magazine’s headquarters with her manager by her side. The building was sleek and modern, with large glass windows that let in plenty of natural light. As they made their way to the designated room for the interview, Y/N couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nerves. It had been a while since she’d done an interview, and this one felt especially significant.

"Are you ready?" her manager asked as they approached the room.

Y/N took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah, I’m ready."

Inside the room, the magazine’s team greeted her warmly. The atmosphere was friendly and professional, which helped ease some of her nerves. After a brief chat with the interviewer and some adjustments from the stylist and makeup artist, they were ready to begin.

The interview started off with the usual questions about her career. The interviewer, a seasoned journalist with a warm smile, asked about her upcoming projects, whether she was planning to star in any new movies or dramas, and if fans could expect a new album anytime soon.

"So, Y/N," the interviewer began, flipping through her notes. "Your fans are always eager to know what you’re working on. Can you share any details about your upcoming projects? Are you considering any movie or drama roles at the moment?"

Y/N smiled, feeling more at ease as they delved into familiar territory. "I’ve been reading a few scripts lately, and there are a couple of roles that really interest me. But I’m taking my time to choose the right one. As for music, I’ve been working on some new songs, and I’m excited to say that a new album is definitely in the works."

The interviewer’s eyes lit up at the mention of new music. "That’s fantastic news! Your last album was such a hit, and I’m sure your fans will be thrilled to hear that more music is on the way."

Y/N nodded, feeling a surge of excitement as she talked about her work. "I’m really looking forward to sharing these new songs with everyone. They’re very personal to me, and I think they’ll resonate with a lot of people."

After discussing her career, the conversation naturally shifted towards her personal life. The interviewer approached the topic delicately, knowing that it was a sensitive subject.

"Of course, we can’t ignore the big news that came out recently," the interviewer said, her tone respectful. "You and Namjoon have made headlines with the revelation of your relationship. How have you been handling the public’s reaction to this news?"

Y/N took a moment to gather her thoughts, appreciating the interviewer’s careful approach. "It’s been a bit overwhelming, to be honest," she admitted. "But overall, the support we’ve received has been amazing. It’s been a relief to finally be open about our relationship, and we’re grateful that so many people are happy for us."

The interviewer nodded understandingly. "I can imagine it must have been challenging to keep something so important private for so long. How has this new level of public attention affected your daily life?"

Y/N smiled softly, thinking about the past few weeks. "It’s definitely been an adjustment. But we’ve found ways to balance our public and private lives. Namjoon and I are both committed to our work, but we also make sure to take time for ourselves and our relationship. It’s all about finding that balance."

The interviewer leaned in slightly, a curious look on her face. "And how has this experience changed your perspective on your career and personal life? Do you feel like it’s influenced the way you approach your work?"

Y/N considered the question carefully before responding. "It has, in a way. I’ve always been passionate about my work, but now I’m also thinking about the future in a different light. There’s a new sense of purpose, not just in my career, but in my personal life as well. It’s made me more determined to create meaningful work that I can be proud of."

The interview continued smoothly, with Y/N sharing more about her creative process, her inspirations, and her hopes for the future. The questions about her relationship were handled with care, allowing her to speak openly without feeling pressured. By the time the interview wrapped up, Y/N felt a sense of accomplishment.

As she left the magazine’s headquarters with her manager, Y/N couldn’t help but feel relieved. The interview had gone well, and she was proud of how she had handled the questions about her relationship. She knew that the article would be published soon, and while she was a bit nervous about how the public would react, she felt confident in the way she had presented herself and her relationship with Namjoon.

Her manager glanced over at her as they walked to the car. "You did great in there, Y/N. The fans are going to love it."

"Thanks," Y/N replied with a smile. "I’m just glad it’s done. Now I can focus on the next thing."

As they drove away from the building, Y/N’s thoughts drifted back to Namjoon. She couldn’t wait to get home and tell him how the interview had gone. No matter what happened next, she knew they would face it together, just as they always had.
