❀ 10: The Fansign ❀

"Look at this," Yejun giggled at the photo on her screen as she showed it to Seungmin, whose stomach she was laying her head on. 

Seungmin let out a laugh, taking the phone from her hand to try and look closer. "When did you take this?" 

"When he facetimed me on our way here," Yejun laughed with him as he handed the phone back. The photo they were looking at was of Changbin making a face that could probably definitely ruin his idol image. Yejun had taken said picture while he was mocking something she had said, but she didn't get a chance to look at it until now. 

Minho, not being able to mask his curiosity, walked over to the two who were laying on the ground. He laid himself down next to Yejun, using Seungmin's chest as a pillow. Yejun didn't hesitate to show him the photo, causing him to instantly let out a loud laugh. He held his stomach in laughter, the loud chuckles grabbing everyone's attention. Jisung walked over, laying down on top of Yejun in an attempt to see. 

"Jisung-ah, you're crushing me," Yejun wiggled a little. Jisung laughed a little and propped himself up on his elbows. 

"Show me what you showed Minho hyung," Jisung whined with a dramatic pout on his lips. Yejun flipped her phone over, groaning in pain when Jisung collapsed onto her with a loud laugh. "Changbin hyung, why do you look like that?!"

"Look like what? Let me-"

Someone clearing their throat by the door caught everyone's attention, all eyes glancing over to their manager. He sighed, tapping his watch, "It's time to go out there. Make sure you guys are completely ready." 

Everyone got up one by one. Yejun set her phone by her bag, turning to look at herself in the large vanity mirror. Her stylist fixed up her bangs, giving her a light smile as she did so. Yejun smiled back, her lips shiny from her lip tint. She bowed and thanked the stylist once she was finished before walking out with the rest of her group. 

"Hello, everyone!" Chan exclaimed excitedly as they lined up on the stage. The fans cheered and clapped, instant smiles making their way onto the group's faces. The group did their introduction, bowing to all their fans before taking a seat in their arranged spots. From left to right it was Jisung, Changbin, Minho, Yejun, Chan, Hyunjin, Felix, Jeongin, and Seungmin. 

The group sat and talked to their fans for a bit. The crowd was filled with mostly girls, but t=quite a few men sat in the cluster as well. The contestant sound of cameras flashing was off-putting to Yejun, the girl not even able to hear her own thoughts. She didn't mind, though. It made her quite happy that people wanted to take pictures of her members. 

"Yejun-eonni!" A female voice shouted from the crowd. The girl looked over to the fan with bright eyes and picked up her microphone. "I have a question!"

"I might have an answer!" Yejun shouted back, causing a few fans to laugh. 

"Who's your favorite member?" The girl asked. Yejun laughed as all of the boys turned toward her. 

"Definitely Jeongin," Yejun answered with a smile, holding back her laughter when she heard offended gasps and one tiny cheer. "I'm kidding! I love all of them equally." 

After about ten minutes of waiting, it was finally time for the fan meet to begin. Yejun was nervous, afraid she'd say the wrong thing or mess up her signature, despite practicing it for years. Despite the nerves, she was very excited, especially when seeing the bags of gifts everyone had while they stood in line. Yejun was given many things, including cat ears, a sticker with her name on it(that she put on her face), and many other exciting things. One thing in particular, though, piqued her interest. 

"Hello, how are you today?" Yejun asked the boy who appeared to be around the same age as her. 

"I'm good. I'm really nervous," the boy said with an awkward chuckle. Yejun held her hands out for him to grab, and he hesitantly grasped her soft hands with his shaky ones. 

"There's no need to be nervous! What's your name?" Yejun asked, doing her best to keep eye contact, another thing that made her nervous. 

"Ah, it's Kim Jinsoo," he answered with a small smile. Yejun hadn't known, but both Chris and Minho had been watching the guy closely, just in case. "I, uh, I got you a gift." 

Yejun's eyes brightened as the boy let go of her hands and reached down into the bag. She bit her lip excitedly as she waited for her gift, bouncing up and down a little bit. Was she exaggerating so that people would take good pictures of her? Yes. Did she want to? No, but it was what they had been instructed to do beforehand. She was still pretty excited about the gift, though. 

"Wow!" Yejun exclaimed as Jinsoo handed her a two-foot lioness plush. She had expressed before that lions were her favorite animals, but she didn't expect anyone to remember. "I love it so much! Thank you!" 

"Of course, I know it's your favorite," Jinsoo smiled innocently, rubbing the back of his neck. Yejun was about to speak again but was cut off when one of the staff moved him along. He was the last in line, and he moved over to Chan. 

"Minho hyung, look," Yejun whispered excitedly, showing the large plush. "A lion stuffie!" 

Minho smiled at her warmly, inspecting the plush, making sure to push around the thin parts like the ears and tail. "It's very cute." 

Yejun nodded vigorously in agreement. She loved the plush and decided that she would be taking it home, even if it meant fighting with the staff. When it was time for them to get up and perform some songs, she sat the stuffed animal in her chair, patting its head before walking to the front of the stage.

"That was so draining," Yejun whined, leaning her head on Felix's, whose head was already on her shoulder. Her lion plush, which she named Safi, was sat on her lap, her arms wrapped tightly around it. 

"Yeah, but now we can go home and take naps," Chan turned his head back to face her, a smile on his face. Yejun nodded, closing her eyes as Felix clung to her and she clung to Safi. 

When the group did arrive back at the dorms, Yejun was eager to go inside and lay down, as were the other members. Yejun muttered the numbers on their keypad as she pressed the buttons. Safi was still hugged close to her as they all flooded into the dorm. Changbin almost immediately asked everyone what they wanted to eat from a ramen shop, seeing as none of them felt like cooking. 

"Sung-ah," Yejun called out as she lay on the couch, spreading her arms open wide for him. Jisung didn't hesitate to lay down on top of the girl, the two cuddling up close together in preparation for a nap. Cuddling wasn't an uncommon thing for Yejun to do with the members, especially when tired. Her love language is physical touch, she can't help it. 

"Are you okay?" Jisung asked as he nuzzled his face into the girl's neck. 

"Yeah, I'm fine. I think my social battery is just drained," Yejun answered with a small sigh, stroking the boy's hair. 

"I'm sorry, bubs," Jisung pulled away, supporting himself on his elbows to get a better look at the girl's face. A small blush brushed the girl's cheeks, but she just gave him a small smile in return. 

"Food's here!" Changbin yelled to everyone as he closed the front door.
