The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the bustling streets of Seoul. It was a typical Saturday afternoon, and the aroma of street food wafted through the air, mingling with the sounds of laughter and chatter from nearby cafes. Jeonghan strolled leisurely through the park, his thoughts a blend of relaxation and anticipation. He had decided to take a break from his hectic schedule, hoping to find inspiration for his music.

As he meandered through the vibrant scenery, he noticed a small crowd gathering near a stage set up for a local talent show. Curiosity piqued, he wandered closer, intrigued by the enthusiastic applause. Standing under the spotlight was a figure commanding attention with a powerful voice. Jeonghan's breath caught in his throat as he recognized S.Coups, the charismatic leader of the popular boy group SEVENTEEN, captivating the audience with his presence.

S.Coups’s energy was infectious; he moved with a confidence that drew everyone in. Jeonghan found himself mesmerized, watching as the leader effortlessly transitioned between verses, his voice resonating with emotion. It was a performance that exuded passion and warmth, and Jeonghan couldn't help but admire the way S.Coups connected with his fans.

After the performance, the crowd erupted into cheers, and Jeonghan felt a surge of excitement. He had always been a fan of SEVENTEEN, but seeing S.Coups up close was an entirely different experience. He felt an inexplicable pull towards the leader, a sense of admiration that went beyond the stage.

Gathering his courage, Jeonghan decided to approach S.Coups. As he navigated through the throng of fans, he could feel his heart racing. What would he say? Would he even be able to speak?

When he finally reached S.Coups, he was surprised to find him laughing with a group of fans, his smile bright and genuine. As the laughter subsided, S.Coups turned to Jeonghan, his expression shifting to one of friendly curiosity.

“Hey there! Did you enjoy the performance?” S.Coups asked, his voice warm and inviting.

Jeonghan nodded, momentarily tongue-tied. “Yeah, it was amazing! You have a great stage presence,” he managed to say, his cheeks flushing slightly.

“Thanks! That means a lot coming from you,” S.Coups replied, his smile widening. “What’s your name?”

“Jeonghan,” he said, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. “I’m a huge fan of SEVENTEEN.”

“Really? That’s awesome! It’s always great to meet a fan. Do you have a favorite member?” S.Coups asked, teasingly.

Jeonghan chuckled, trying to keep his composure. “Well, I guess I’m talking to my favorite right now,” he said, a playful smile on his lips.

S.Coups laughed, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “Flattery will get you everywhere, Jeonghan.”

The two continued to chat, and as the sun began to set, casting a beautiful hue over the park, Jeonghan felt an undeniable connection forming. Their laughter mingled with the sounds of the city, creating a moment that felt almost surreal.

Little did they know, this encounter would mark the beginning of a journey filled with unexpected twists, laughter, and a bond that would deepen with each passing day.
