Enchanted (Bbangsaz)

84

The evening air was cool, but Hanni felt her heart race with excitement as she stepped outside the venue to greet her fans. The crowd was waiting eagerly by the barricades, their energy palpable. Hanni gave them a quick wave before smiling widely. "Hey, hey, you guys good out here?" she asked, her voice carrying a touch of concern. "Did you eat already? Are you cold? Please tell me you're not freezing in this weather!"

The fans grinned and shouted back, "We're good, Hanni! We're warm, we promise!"

Another fan yelled out, "We're just happy you're here!"

Hanni's eyes sparkled with affection as she looked at the group. "You're all too sweet. Seriously, if anyone's cold, go grab some hot chocolate, okay? No freezing on me, alright?" She started walking towards the group, hands extended to sign things and take pictures.

"Your concert was amazing!" one fan yelled, holding up a poster for her to sign.

"Thank you!" Hanni said, taking the poster and signing it quickly. "You guys are incredible. Seriously, I'm the luckiest person in the world to have fans like you."

The crowd cheered, and Hanni continued making her way down the line, giving each person her full attention. Every now and then, a fan would hand her a letter, and she'd pause to read it, beaming at the thoughtful messages.

But then, just as she was finishing up a photo with a fan, someone shouted out from the crowd, "So... we can say enchanted is really about Minji?"

Hanni froze, her eyes widening. The teasing grin on her face remained, but her cheeks flushed slightly. She opened her mouth to respond, but the fans were already buzzing with excitement, eager to know the answer.

"Ah, here we go," she muttered under her breath. "I knew this would come up."

"Don't try to dodge it!" one of the fans yelled. "Most of your songs are totally about her, right?"

"Everything's obviously about Minji!" another fan added.

Hanni chuckled nervously, trying to cover up her growing blush. "Well, well, well. I can neither confirm nor deny..." she said dramatically, raising her hand like she was swearing an oath.

"Liar!" someone shouted, and the crowd laughed.

"Okay, okay," Hanni relented, rolling her eyes playfully. "I'm not saying anything... but if you listen closely, maybe you'll figure it out." She smirked, clearly loving the attention.

"Come on, you can't leave us hanging!" one fan pressed, practically jumping up and down.

Hanni sighed dramatically, pretending to be exasperated. "You guys are relentless! Fine, fine. I'll admit it." She paused for a second, looking around at the eager faces. "Maybe some of the songs... are about Minji."

The fans gasped, and a few of them clutched their hearts dramatically. "Some? Girl, we know which ones!"

"Which ones?!" another fan asked, voice cracking with excitement.

Hanni put her hand to her chin, pretending to think. "Hmm, well... Enchanted... Definitely OMG... I don't know about Ditto... and there might be a few others that are... well, let's just say inspired by someone." She gave them a sly grin, her eyes twinkling mischievously.

"You're so obvious!" someone yelled from the crowd.

"I'm just trying to keep the mystery alive," Hanni replied, crossing her arms as if she was the one in control. "If I give away everything, then what's the fun, huh?"

"You can't fool us!" a fan called out.

Hanni laughed, trying to act cool, but her face was still a bit flushed. "You guys are really good at this. It's honestly impressive. I should hire you all as detectives."
