I'm 24 years old , I live alone in Paris and started to work since 3 years ago. If you ask people around me, They will tell you that I'm mature, serious and really kind with everyone. But the people who truly know me, a few people, will tell you that I get easily lonely, can get jealous and crazy like a child about a boys band, one singer in particular.

I wrote him a letter last year and didn't receive any proof that he received it, I sent him a lot of messages though SNS also without knowing if he even have read one of them and during one of his live he finally answered to my comment with a "I love you too______" but we all know that they say that without really meaning it, they are just being kind. But that still made me really happy.

After 3 years of waiting, they finally decided to come to Paris and of course I brought the ticket right away. For 4 months I have been preparing myself for it, mentally and physically haha. I choose my clothes after changing them 5 times over already, brought a present with his initials graved in it for HIM who surely didn't know at all who I was and imagined many impossible scenarios in my head while telling myself that it would never happen.

When the day finally came I realized even more how small and far I was from them. I was just another fan, a Babyz, crazy for them  and their talent. I felt ridiculous for being jealous of other fans. However, I also felt happy because the more fan they had, the more there hard work was recognized. Waiting in the line, I met beautiful girls and many were after the same singer as me, Jung Daehyun. Every word they told me about his quality and performance was like a reminder of my status, a simple fan. Nothing more, nothing less than a support. And I'm proud to be believe me !

As the time passes and our exchanges continued, I tried to tell myself "Be real, what did you expect, you are just like the others". 30min before the beginning of the show, I felt my heart quickening and was playing with my bag nervously, trying to hide my excitement. The place began to become more and more noisy with people continuously arriving. I felt a bit more calm realizing I wasn't able to hear my heart beat anymore thanks to that.

The light went off and on the contrary the light on stage shined brightly. The DJ started to play his remix and easily put us on a party mood, screaming with joy. Then, the light changed colors and we could see the shape of 6 men standing on stage. The crow and myself screamed loudly, more excited than before. I felt drowned in this overwhelming crow and as if I didn't want to lose face to them, I too, began to scream with all my might.

When I saw him there, so close, I felt as if it was a dream and I knew right away I would never forget this night. As if my body wasn't responding to me anymore, I began to Jump and scream hard all along. Sometimes I felt that our eyes met for a few seconds and with the other members too. But I quickly faced reality again when the girls at my side screamed in my hear "He looked at me !". "It wasn't me, just in my way" I told myself still enjoying the show. A few song after, another "attack" came from him, he sent a heart in my direction. "Not specially for me" I told myself once again.

At the second part of the concert, Daehyun was further from me so I couldn't met his eyes anymore and in his place was Bang Yongguk, the leader and Zelo, the youngest of the group. This time, I met eyes a few times with Yongguk and I though "See, they all do it, I'm not special" but I kept smiling till the end !

At the end of the concert, we were all talking about this amazing experience and how many times we felt our eyes met with these young men, in front of the stage. We were waiting for the "high five" event to start.

The more I advanced in line to the place they were, the more I felt nervous and confused. When I finally spotted them, my mind was a mess and I couldn't believe how close they were to me.

Because or rather thanks to a Babyz who wanted to give a piece of paper to Jongup, I was stuck after touching YoungJae hand, in front of Yongguk who looked at me first with a surprised face and then with a really caring smile that I had only seen in pictures before. I was even more disturbed when I had the impression that he touched my hand longer than he did with the girls in front of me. Then I noticed that Zelo was staring at us. When we clapped hand, he closed his eyes two times in a row like he always do. That made him so cute. He looked at me like I was a little puppy and at this instant, I truly felt how tall he was.

Daehyun was between Jongup and Himchan and was sitting on the table that separated us while the other was standing behind it. That made him closer to us and adding to the way he looked at us with a look that say "I'm gonna eat you", made me totally loose my mind and all I was able to do was thanking him 4 times.

Then, as if I wanted to hide my embarrassment, I clapped hand with Himchan rapidly and went to the exit, flustered like never before and staring at my hand.

I was a few step away from the back door when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I thought it was one of the Babyz I made friend with but when I turned over, I saw an older Asian man who gave me a piece of paper and went back quickly without letting me ask what it was. I stared at it asking myself if it was something that fell of my pocket but when I unfolded it, there was written "Wait for 40 minutes at the entrance".

When I saw it, I read it a few times more to be sure. I thought I definitely shouldn't wait, that it could be a crazy man but surprisingly I found myself making excuse to wait. For example, waiting for my younger friends to go back with there family before me, resting my legs before walking back home or going to the toilet. My head told me to be cautions but my heart keep on hoping for something to happen. I wanted more.
