10. Golden hour

After the host introduced the idea of ENHYPEN making wishes come true, the audience erupted into a frenzy of excitement. Among the sea of cheering fans, yebun and ahyong in the front row were also caught up in the moment, enthusiastically supporting the proposal.

"Who's up for it?" the host bellowed, prompting eager girls to raise their hands and even stand up in hopes of being chosen.

Yebun noticed a girl behind her holding up a sign that read "it must be me," and to her surprise, she recognized her as a junior from school.

As the raven-haired girl caught the attention of sunghoon, who pointed her out, the crowd's focus shifted to her. With half of her face obscured by a mask, the girl hesitantly made her way to the stage, pointing a few times before finally stepping forward.

Yebun and ahyong watched in silence as she nervously shook hands with each member of ENHYPEN. Despite their attempts to hide it, a twinge of jealousy crept into their hearts, especially yebun, who couldn't help but frown at the scene unfolding before them.

The atmosphere was electric as the girl interacted with the members, her dream coming true right before their eyes.

Yebun and ahyong couldn't help but feel a pang of envy as they watched the once-in-a-lifetime moment unfold. As the girl returned to her seat, the crowd erupted into cheers, the excitement palpable in the air.

Yebun let out a heavy sigh as she watched the other girls eagerly taking their chances to get closer to the ENHYPEN members. She couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment within her.

What was she even thinking? She was just another face in the crowd of millions of fans, receiving only a fraction of attention from her idols. The realization that they wouldn't even remember her after this fan meet weighed heavily on her mind as she sunk further into her seat, a pout forming on her lips.

Lost in her thoughts, Yebun found herself daydreaming about the unlikely possibility of becoming one of the members' love interests. She was so engrossed in her fantasies that she didn't notice her best friend, Ahyong, nudging her. Startled, she turned to look at Ahyong, confusion evident in her expression.

"Look at the stage, Yebun-ah!" Ahyong hissed, prompting Yebun to shift her gaze towards the stage. Her eyes widened as she saw Hahein and her group dancing alongside ENHYPEN, a mixture of excitement and envy bubbling within her.

Her frown deepened as she observed Hahein trying to act cute while making mistakes in her dance steps, causing the ENHYPEN members to burst into laughter. Did she really just attempt to do aegyo in front of them?

Yebun could feel annoyance creeping in as she clenched her eyebrows in frustration. It was a stark reminder of how distant she was from her idols, just another fan lost in the sea of admirers.

Following their lackluster performance, the girls regrouped in their positions as Yebun locked eyes with Hahein, who shot her a sly smirk. Yebun, undeterred, simply grinned back at the dark-haired girl, silently challenging her.

"Now...the final candidate!" The host's voice boomed, capturing everyone's attention. All eyes turned towards him, eagerly anticipating the selection process as Enhypen members scanned the room, searching for their next potential member.

Amidst the tension, one of the girls boldly stood up and made her way towards the stage, raising her hands in a confident gesture. The sudden movement caused a ripple of curiosity among the onlookers, prompting them to focus on her.

"Come on!" The host encouraged the long-haired girl, who humbly bowed before proceeding towards the stage. The room buzzed with anticipation as the atmosphere grew charged with excitement and nervous energy

Yebun's eyes widened with recognition as she spotted the girl. It was one of her classmates, someone she had known for quite some time. As she eagerly waited for the girl to step onto the stage, Yebun couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.

The members of Enhypen were performing their hit song "Fever" right in front of her, and to make matters worse, Heeseung was trying to get even closer to the girl. Yebun couldn't deny her selfishness, but what could she do?

She had been a devoted fangirl of Enhypen for the past two years, and now that they were within arm's reach, she wasn't the lucky one in the crowd. Her frown deepened as she watched the long-haired girl laughing and interacting with her idols, even getting the opportunity to take pictures with them. Ahyong, sensing Yebun's frustration, nudged her with a scoff of her own.

The host eagerly turned to the members of Enhypen, awaiting their response. "So, what's the last song you have for us today?" he inquired, his eyes scanning each member's face. They all nodded in unison, a sense of excitement filling the air.

Jungwon, unable to contain his curiosity, spoke up, "What could it be?" His tone was filled with genuine intrigue, as if he had no prior knowledge of the song.

Sunghoon, taking the lead, stepped forward and revealed the answer, "It's none other than 'Polaroid Love'." The crowd erupted into a frenzy, their screams of excitement echoing throughout the venue. Yebun, with a wide smile on her face, couldn't help but express her joy for one of her favorite songs by the group.

The room was filled with cheers and applause as Yebun clapped her hands, with Ahyong following suit. Sunghoon chimed in, "It's actually become quite popular on TikTok."

The host nodded in agreement, acknowledging the song's rising popularity. Jungwon added, "And the choreography was actually created by one of our fans." Jay affirmed his statement, further emphasizing the connection between the group and their dedicated fanbase.

As the other members nodded in agreement with Jungwon's statement, Sunoo stepped forward to teach the hook step of "Polaroid Love" while singing the lines, and the rest of the members followed suit.

Once he finished, the host exclaimed, "It's very simple," and proceeded to demonstrate the steps himself. Sunghoon chimed in, saying, "Yeah, once you get the first step, the rest is easy," as he flawlessly executed the first move.

Yebun couldn't help but laugh at his facial expressions, although she knew deep down that her idols would never notice her. Instead of dwelling on it, she decided to fully enjoy their fanmeet and cherish the moments she had with them.

Yebun was thrilled to be in the presence of her favorite idols, even if they were unaware of her existence. She admired their talent and dedication, and it brought her immense joy to see them perform live.

As the fanmeet progressed, Yebun couldn't help but be captivated by their energy and charisma. She laughed along with the other fans, feeling a sense of belonging in this shared experience.

Yebun realized that instead of focusing on her own insecurities, she should embrace the opportunity to genuinely enjoy the moments she had with her idols.

The fanmeet was a whirlwind of emotions for Yebun. She couldn't believe she was actually there, witnessing her idols up close and personal.

Even though she knew they would never notice her among the sea of fans, Yebun didn't let it dampen her spirits. She chose to immerse herself in the excitement and happiness that surrounded her.

Yebun laughed, cheered, and sang along with the crowd, feeling a sense of unity with her fellow fans. She understood that the true essence of being a fan was not about being noticed by her idols, but rather about the shared love and appreciation for their music.
