Perhaps it was because of something Jungkook said on set. Rumors of our relationship popping up out of nowhere filled the internet.
"What's going on, Ham? Are you really dating Jungkook?"
From my stylist to the shop owner, even the senior celebrities passing by were all curious about my relationship with Jungkook. But I didn't know how to answer. Saying no would be a lie, so I simply answered with a "yes" or "no" and a smile.
'Ham, are you okay? -Kuku.'
Honestly, I was more worried about Jungkook than myself. Jungkook is more popular than me and gets more attention. I didn't want to see him get criticized or anything because of our relationship.
"Jungkook, why did you do that? It's a crucial time for you right now. - Ham."
'Can't you just tell me I did a good job? -Kuku.'
After receiving Jungkook's text, I couldn't easily respond. While I was hesitating, another text came from Jungkook.
"People keep telling me it's an important time for me, what's going on? Ham is just as important to me as my work. Everyone's cussing me out. They say I've become arrogant because I'm famous. That's why they're trying to confuse me, Ham. -Kukku."
I've seen Jungkook's situation all over the internet. Fans who truly cherish and love him respect his feelings, but those who don't, or who harbor outright ill feelings, seize the moment to lash out at him. Suddenly, a scene came to mind where Jungkook was proud of and cherished his fans. He believed ARMY would understand. Jungkook, always so confident, was now faced with reality. The shock must have been as great as his faith.
"Ham. Did I do something wrong? Am I the type of person who shouldn't love and care for someone? -Kuku."
I can't answer that. You're precious to me too. I don't want Jungkook to be in an awkward situation or get hurt because of me. Jungkook will continue to be hurt if he doesn't firmly deny the dating rumors with me.
"Manager, oppa. No."
"huh?"
"I'm just close friends with Jeon Jungkook. We're not dating."
"Oh, really? As expected of a rookie, Ham-i too. And it's an important time for Jung-guk too."
"Please tell me this clearly. It's definitely not true."
"Okay. I'll pass it on right away."
My heart ached, but I thought it was better for me to be hurt. As long as my love for Jungkook was true, it was okay. My manager, through his close reporters, officially denied the dating rumors.
"Ham, look at this for a second."
I thought that cleared everything up. I thought Jungkook wouldn't be hurt anymore.
"What is it?"
My manager handed me his phone with a serious expression. On the screen was an article conveying Jungkook's official position.
[Official Statement] Jeon Jungkook is seeing rookie singer Ham E with good feelings. They have confirmed their relationship.
"How did this happen?"
"Jungkook made an official statement. Through his agency."
If it's like this for a moment.
"Manager, what about the article I just asked you to do?"
"I believed you because you said it was urgent, so I already released it. That's what makes things even stranger. There's going to be chaos at the agency. Which one is real?"
If I continue like this, I'll be denying Jungkook's feelings. No. This isn't right.
"Manager, please take that article down."
"Even so, one of us has to get off. So are you and Jeon Jungkook really dating?"
In the midst of all this confusion, I received a text from Jungkook. I was always happy to see him, but I was afraid to see his texts.
"Ham. I guess I was in too much of a hurry. I'm sorry. -Kuku."
"This isn't it."
"No, really. I just didn't want to hurt Jungkook. I immediately called him, but instead of his voice, I got a message saying I was being connected to voicemail. He must be watching."
"Jungkook. Oh, come on. Please answer the phone. -Ham."
If the domestic communication network had not been cut off at that time, there was no reply to the text message that would have been sent.

Which is real? Jeon Jungkook, rookie singer Ham, dating alone?
Amidst the dating rumors between Jeon Jungkook and rookie singer Ham, Jeon Jungkook and Ham's official statements are conflicting. The two are known to have maintained a close relationship as a married couple on "We Got Married" and were known to be close even before the show aired, showing affection. However, their reactions to the dating rumors are mixed. Jeon Jungkook has officially stated that he and rookie singer Ham are developing a good relationship, but rookie singer Ham has denied this. Is he conscious of being under the same agency? Perhaps rookie singer Ham is cautious because his future path is at stake.
Netizens responded to this by saying things like, "Does he date alone?", "I guess Jeon Jungkook was the only one who liked him.", "Is Jeon Jungkook in unrequited love?", and "Did Ham manage the fishing grounds and Jeon Jungkook get caught?"
