Fans' Love

"DomWhai is always my Fan Krub."

I hadn't spoken to the dog since that day, one of the reasons being I couldn't figure out whether I liked him or not. It was really difficult for me because I had never liked a guy before. And even though I had some dating experience in high school, I had never been in a serious relationship.

I thought that if he just wanted to date me without taking it too seriously, I might give it a try. But it was obvious that he was more serious than I expected. If I accepted him just for fun, it would only hurt his feelings even more. And it might be awkward as we still have to work together as idols for many years.

So I needed to think about it carefully, I shouldn't take it as lightly as I usually would. I might need to start with getting to know him better because up until now, my perception of him had always been negative. I've never bothered to find the good in him. I didn't know how many good things I had overlooked, and whether or not those could make me like him enough to overlook his gender and the fact that he was my rival.

But first of all, I felt like there had been a drastic change in my idol life recently.

"Today's walk is so peaceful, N'Wayu." The head bodyguard told me, "If it continues like this, I could ask for a day off tomorrow."

"What do you mean? I'm a very popular UNISTAR!" I quickly replied. When the bodyguard said that, it hurt me inside.

Since that dog announced the sinking of our ship, all our fans spiralled into depression, and the hashtag #shipwreck trended all day. Several fan sites that shipped me and him were closed down as well.

Fans who wrote fan-fiction or drew fanarts announced that they would stop. It went too far that the agency had to temporarily halt the airing of Half Moon The Series, fearing no one would watch it.

It sounded like a big deal for an idol, but neither my nor his followers decreased - only the fans' posts and cheering had disappeared.

And it changed my University life. Usually, I'm surrounded by fans screaming with excitement, to the point where the guards have to protect me constantly. But today... it was quieter than a graveyard. I felt extremely odd.

"Waaah, P'Wayu, I need some time to calm down."

"P'Wayu, I love you, but I'm still not over it."

"When I feel better, I'll come back to scream for you again."

When I walked past fans who usually followed me everywhere, they cried out loud when they saw me. I noticed their eyes were swollen and red as if they'd been crying all night, I couldn't help but feel concerned. It seemed like the shipwreck hurt the fans more than I could imagine.

When I saw Kaow in the class, I sighed immediately.

"You don't look happy at all." Kaow said.

"Of course not." I replied, dropping my face onto the table. I normally wouldn't do this–my makeup would smudge. But I was really feeling down.

I usually put on makeup for my fans, but today, no one cared. What was the point of being handsome?

"Why? Do you worry about Natee?" Kaow rested his face on the desk, looking at me.
