"Hi, you are so pretty. Are you perhaps a celebrity?" A girl asked me while we are on the line to the VIP area, seems like the backstage pass will be a waste. I smiled behind my disguise and shake my head. "Thank you but I am not a celebrity." I said before I laughed.

"Are you a Korean fan?" she asked me again while waiting in the long queue. "No..." I answered honestly because technically I am a Japanese. "You seems like a foreigner by the way you speak. I am Korean, my name is Jae In. You can call me Jean." she said as she offered her hand to me.

"Sasha." I said the first name that entered my mind. Well its actually from my most catchy phase shy shy shy of cheer up. "Nice to meet you Sasha, so why did you go all the way here?" she asked as we chat.

She is standing in front if me in the line since its barely moving, I guess it is okay to chat. "It was actually my friend who is supposed to be here, but she had to run some errands and I was forced to be in her place." I answered honestly.

She was shocked to see that I answered her in Korean, because I feel like I ran out of english words, might as well have Tzuyu and Mina to teach me. "You speak Korean?" she asked as I nodded my head. "I know a thing or two. How about you are you a fan?" I asked her.

She looked from left to right before she speak. "Well yeah, in fact I know them personally. I was one of those people who believed them from the start. If only not for my studies here, I would have still been in South Korea by now." she answered.

"Oh, its nice to see a dedicated fan like you. I should be thankful to my friend for such opportunity then." I said in amazement because even though I had seen numerous Once it is still a different way when meeting fans of different groups.

"Yeah, but since I have finished my studies here, I think I will be returning to South Korea in no time..." she answered that made me feel envious. I only managed to finish high school and haven't got my degree yet because of my job as an idol.

Although I am currently studying in an online university, it won't give me the privilege to go to a normal university. Experience walking through hallways and eat on a cafeteria full of students and such.

"Woah, so nice..." I said thinking of a topic to talk about since I ran out of it. "Do you have a boyfriend Sasha?" Jean asked me that made me think about it. "Uhm, you can say that we have a mutual understanding but I don't know our label yet." I answered then let out a chuckle.

"I had one too, he is also from South Korea. But we have to break up since he was still young that time. He was seventeen, while I was nineteen. Imagine having a boyfriend younger than you are. Everyone was against us." he laughed at her own statement.

"If you two guys are really for each other I am sure destiny would find its way to make the two of you meet again." I said as she nodded her head and said something that I was not able to catch up.

"Sorry, I didn't get that... What were you saying again?" I asked because I really did not understand what she had said. "Uh, I noticed that you had the backstage pass but why didn't you go to the other queue to the backstage?" she asked while pointing to what I am holding.

"I was told that I could go there after the encore stage. I will probably do it later. I want to find a good spot where I could see clearly the performances." I reasoned out which is actually true.

Their staff had told me earlier that I could skip the first meet and greet and go to the backstage after the encore. That way there won't be a lot of fans in there. "You must be rich or close to someone from the organizers to obtain such." she commented that made me laugh.

"As I said, my friend who is supposed to be here is the rich one. If she was not busy today, she would be here instead of me. She find the ticket a waste if no one stood in her place instead." I honestly said to her.

"Still, you girl is very lucky... Oh they are opening up the entrance! Let's go for the front so we could see very clearly..." she said excitedly as she dragged me inside the doors to the concert hall.

We choose to be in front of the main stage in the center part. Actually I wasn't comfortable with the position because of the crowd. The meet and greet did not really take that long so after it the VCR showed in the giant LED boards and the concert was about to start.

Then I was greeted with a familiar feeling, the feeling in where you could hear the screams of fans whenever we idols start performing. Like the feeling that I feel during our own concerts and performances.

Only this time, I belong to the crowd who is cheering instead of being the idol who is performing. Now I can see the reason why swarms of fans fell for the seven guys on stage. They really give it all when performing.

I heard that this would be the second to the last stop of their concert before they close curtains in Korea. Well Kookie gave me the hint that they will be opening a new era soon, so I can guess that they will be having a comeback soon. Probably before we comeback.

We ourselves consider them as our role model, being dedicated to fans to hard work. We look up to them, I am who wouldn't they came from just like us. We all started from the bottom till we get to where we are at the present.

I look at my side where I saw Jean enjoying the opening performance, she even simply wiped a tear that shed through her eyes. I guess this is really the feelings that they call when a fan meets their idol in real life.

The concert was fun, but I had to be cautious because of my disguise I can't jump wildly just like how others are doing. They even brought their fan kit, like the light sticks and stuffs that I don't have any.

But I was able to enjoy through the show though. When the encore ends I have to part ways with Jean since she was off to her apartment as for me I could already see the same staff from earlier waiting for me.
