Third Person's POV

"Are you two ready?". The interviewer asked. Karina and Minjeong looked at each other and smiled. "We're always ready". The raven answered, the interviewer nodded and motioned her colleagues to start the live interview. "Goodevening everyone and welcome back to ******* show! For today's event we will be interviewing Karina and Winter of Aespa!".

The audiences clapped their hands some were even whistling towards the two. Minjeong got nervous and at the same time flustered, this will be their 5th interview as a couple. The raven held her girlfriend's hand and smiled towards her to ease her nervousness. "It seemed like our Winter here is a bit nervous, my's. Don't worry Winter we don't bite". The interviewer said, joking so that the brunette will feel more comfortable while they're doing the interview.

Minjeong chuckled and shake her head before showing a smile to the camera. "Why don't you two say hi to your fans first before we begin our interview. Im sure that they all miss you guys so much due to your long hiatus". The interviewer mentioned. Karina held the mic near her mouth and just like what the interviewer said, she greeted their fans and gave her gratitude for the never ending support and love they gave.

The brunette also did the same and apologized for not updating their fans. "So now we are going to begin our interview". The interviewer said and opened the card she was holding. "First question, during the year 2022 after your Coachella performance. A picture of you two circulating on the internet rumored that you two were dating, was published to the public by dispatch. During that time what did you two feel as a hidden couple?".

The raven held her mic once again and answered the question. "At that time me and Minjeong got scared, to the point that we fought and almost broke up because of the pressure and the negativity surrounding us after that issue broke out. We both know that our country won't accept our type of relationship but still we risked because we truly love each other. We had a hard time trying to stay out of the public's eyes and Sm delayed our comeback and even reschedule all of our promotions so that the issue would cool off. However, that did not happen". Karina said

"The first few months was hard, Karina and i didn't talk to each other and the company even tried to separate us by doing a fake public dating stunt to cover our issue". The brunette added, she couldn't help but to get angry just by recalling all those memories. "But even though all of those horrible things happened to us me and Minjeong stayed strong as a couple. That's when we both decided to admit and let the public know about our relationship". The raven said.

Minjeong chuckled as she remembered how some of their fans acted, some cursed them and burned their photocards, while the others supported them and was happy for the two because of their brave act. "I couldn't even imagine myself in your situation, you two are so brave for doing that". The interview said. "What about your two other members what was their reaction when they first know that you two were in a relationship?".

The brunette looked at her girlfriend and snickered, Karina blushed as to how she remembered everything that happened that day. "They both gladly accepted us and supported us. There were even times that they would tease us". Minjeong answered since the raven couldn't bring herself to speak because of how flustered she is. "That's why Aeri make your move already its been two years". The brunette added while pointing her finger towards the camera, she knew that her other members are watching their live interview.

The interviewer chuckled at how adorable the bond of their group is. "For our next question, we will let the fans ask you girls their own questions. Are you two okay with that?". Karina and Minjeong nodded. The fans on the crowd raised their hands hoping to get picked. "You there!". The interviewer pointed towards the girl whose wearing a striped shirt.
