IDOL | JJK

Chapter 1

The second I get out of the car all I could see is bright light flashes that would not stop for its dear life. All I could hear was clicks of cameras taking picture and people shouting my name. I felt the stares piercing through me. The paparazzi are shouting,  asking me to look their way and pose for them. As I pose, Angie is there, adjusting my dress and ensuring everything looked perfect,
that I looked perfect

After all this talk about me you must be thinking who the fuck is this girl is, so sorry how rude of me.

Let me rewind.

Hi, I'm Ela Wintours, nice to meet you. I am a rookie singer who unexpectedly gained a lot of recognition through TikTok ironically. My solo track "HIDE N SEEK" went viral when people started using it in their fan edits. I'm forever grateful though don't get me wrong. Everything I have is thanks to them. I can't even imagine what might have happened if that one fan hadn't used my song in an edit of Harry Styles. Whoever you are though boo, keep doing your thing and keep editing Harry Styles's sweat to my songs. Shout out to that girl xoxo.

Enough of that. Well like I said after that I blew up. For whatever reason people started liking me as a person too and before I knew I was spending most of my time at either the studio or in interview seats.

Few months later I released my debut album "MY NAME"  featuring 13 tracks. It didn't quite match the explosive success of "HIDE N SEEK", but for a debut album, I'd like to believe it did good. Specially considering it's only been out for two weeks. All the fame, the money, the recognition— it's all been life changing. I always wondered how it must feel to be young, successful ,and well... hot. I'ts AMAZING! I couldn't love it any more, and I honestly wouldn't have it any other way.

As much as I love having the chance to experience all that, there is only one thing that has been lingering in my head ever since all the recognition and fame came my way: the chance to meet my idols. The ones I have loved and adored ever since I was a kid, BTS. I now have the actual chance to meet and talk to them. Even the thought made me crazy.

I used to stay up all night reading fan fiction and watch their Vlives. I'd save up for their albums and the thrill it brought me is to this day incomparable. The excitement to see who's pc I pulled. Truly unmatchable. The way I used to stay up all night watching my bias's edits, Bon Voyage, in the Soop and Run BTS. So yes, you could say I'm an ARMY.

The only interaction, or if you could even call that an interaction, is hobi posting a screen of "HIDE N SEEK" on instagram story since I think he knows I'm an army. I have been pretty much open about me being an army and that I admire and look up to them in many interviews. So them knowing that wouldn't really surprise me.

Now let's spoil back to where we started.

Getting off the carpet, I walk my way to do a few small interviews here and there as I was told to do before the grammy starts.

"Ela, you look fabulous, darling!" one of the interviewers says, her smile wide with excitement.

"oh thank you my love, you look quite stunning yourself" I respond, returning the smile.

"Coming from you, that's high praise indeed" she laughs lightly.

"Sweetheart, how do you feel now that you've been nominated for 3 categories? are you stressed, anxious, nauseous or just excited? Tell me!" she continues.

"I'm incredibly happy and grateful for being here tonight—it's my first grammy! But honestly I'm also feeling quite anxious. I feel like I might throw up any moment! Got any tips for that?" I say laughing trying to lighten the mood.
