KIM SEUNGMIN ONE SHOTS

Without You (Sasaeng)

Without You

Summary: Seungmin realizes he was the target all along.

--

Being an idol is tiring, not only because of the schedules when they promote a comeback album but also dealing with fans. (Not those fans who respect their privacy, but those who forget boundaries.)

It was supposed to be a congratulatory dinner with the members when they hit a positive result on their comeback album. This is the first week of promotion and Seungmin has heard their songs being good in charts and sales. They expected to be supported by the fans but this kind of popularity only sank into him. They were trending worldwide, plus the massive fans supporting them. He feels overwhelmed.

So when they went to the restaurant not far away from the dorm, fans easily recognized them. Not that people thought about him outside, Seungmin is a quiet type of person. He didn't speak much and prepared to listen instead. He wanted to know his member's feelings and silently take care of them. Before going home, Seungmin excused himself to the men's room when a fan approached him and suddenly made Seungmin startled.

"Min-ssi?" The fan asks him, eyes glistening with flushing crimson cheeks while staring at him.

"Yes?" Seungmin frowned, not sure if it was him who he was approaching because he was not the only Min in the group. He came here with the members so Seungmin didn't want to assume. Minho was popular, and he didn't want to be mistaken for it and be embarrassed after.

"Sign this... Uhmm, your hyung? He said in broken Korean, he looks Asian but the guy cannot speak hangul. Seungmin knitted his brow and tried to speak in English.

"Oh, you want my Min hyung to sign this?" The guy gulped and nodded his head, he isn't sure if he gets Seungmin's English, the guys speak in a different language (Which must be his native tongue) and Seungmin cannot understand most of his sentences but he got little english; the only words he talks clearly were pretty eyes, and beautiful.

"Oh, we're bout to leave..." Seungmin mumbled apologetically. The guy looked defeated and Seungmin didn't want to disappoint a fan so he just smiled and tried to say that he will give him his sign instead. The guy's eyes glimmered at the light and nodded his head as he understood Seungmin. He didn't think of it as strange and just gave him a photograph.

"Thanks, Min!" He says in a weird accent again. Seungmin bid his farewell and went out quickly. His members are already outside waiting for him. Jeongin was the first one to approach him.

The second time Seungmin encountered the same fan was in the airport where they were being mobbed. Seungmin forgot about the guy but the tattoo around his neck made Seungmin remember him. He was taking pictures of the members. Probably Jeongin? or Hyungjin. Seungmin didn't know but the fan was in the front while he was in the middle of the line. Between Minho and Changbin. There are people, fan sites, and bodyguards with the managers who were also protecting them. They reach the car and Seungmin has already forgotten the fan.

He was sure that he had already forgotten the face of that fan but not his tattoo. For a strange reason, he's been seeing the person whenever Seungmin was outside. Mostly with fans but never in their private schedule. And maybe it was only a coincidence that Seungmin found him with his camera. He knew it was not him that he was following because Seungmin was always in the middle of the line. The strange fan has been in front taking snapshots. Their line of sight also didn't meet because of Seungmin's far sights and the people around them.

The weird feeling didn't leave Seungmin and felt overprotective of Jeongin and Hyunjin. It was obvious that they were the target, Seungmin was always beside them whenever they were outside. It just happened that the fan was snapping photos near the two boys.
