87e8b7e554e2a1353dbc“He’s a huge fan of yours, Oppa. He said he had wanted to be a road cyclist since he was a kid. So he watched all of your races on repeat and almost memorized them. And I guess he heard that you went around wearing only a black tracksuit too. All of his clothes are black tracksuits. And did you give an interview where you said you liked fragrances? He said he bought and collected every single cologne you had. He said he wanted to shoot a pictorial for the company that you’re an ambassador for, and he’s been begging his manager to make that happen.”

And it doesn’t make sense for me to arrange something like this whenever someone asks me. So I kept rejecting him. But he’s quite persistent. Maybe that’s how he endured his trainee days before he became an idol.”

6fa03699625a7593c6faMy husband was very candid and comfortable with my own older brother, and he treated my parents very well. He didn’t call my parents ‘father-in-law’ and ‘mother-in-law ‘. Instead, he called them ‘Father’ and ‘Mother’. My mother also treasured him like she did my brother and myself, and my father was happy to have gained another trustworthy son. He rode his bike by the Han River with his son-in-law once a month, and he would brag about his son-in-law to anyone he met. He seemed to be having a grand old time.

7d1c4f9244742551cd9aI also wanted to treat his family, Jiwoo, very well. Whenever I saw his blunt, considerate conversations with his sister through video chat, I could tell that they were very close. I had this strange desire to join them at times like that.
