a/n: in celebration with NCT 2018's MV release! Happy reading :)
it all began with a fan meeting she was forced to go to.
she could remember how her best friend, one who was especially devoted to fan girling, begged her to accompany her to this fan meeting of a certain boy group named NCT Dream.
she initially had refused to. for one, she wasn't particularly interested in such things. for two...the popular idols were actually her schoolmates. so what's the purpose of going to a fan meeting when you literally see them almost every day?
but her best friend, song ah rim, had somehow convinced her to accompany her. the girl had claimed that she would be too nervous to go by herself.
and so, just like that, she was dragged off to attend the NCT Dream fan meeting. to the fan meeting she wasn't even a fan of.

"kang eun hye! what should i do, what should i do? i'm so nervous!" ah rim whisper yells as the two of us start to ascend the stage.
"i thought you said you wouldn't be nervous if i came along." i roll my eyes with a sigh.
"that's true! but it would be worser without you," she pauses as her eyes land on someone behind me. we were moving up the line, with me leading. "oh my god." she gasps.
"what?"
"they are...gorgeous." she seemed breathless.
"funny. sure they're handsome, but...really?" i chuckle.
"handsome is an understatement, eun hye. you could never understand." she looks at me in all seriousness.
"yeah, i know," i say as i open the album in my hands. "i don't even need this." i mumble. one person left in front of me before it's my turn.
looks like the first person is someone named haechan, according to ah rim.
i sigh softly as i arrive at, like, probably the forth guy.
i place my album in front of him.
"you sighed." he comments with a smile as he picks up his black marker, signing.
"ah...yes." i decide to say.
"a long day for you?" his smiles remains as he finishes his signing and meets my eyes.
"well, yeah, sort of." i nod, replying him. i thought i noticed his eyes widen in surprise.
"your name?" he asks, turning his attention back at the album.
"kang eun hye." i reply.
"kang eun hye...huh?" he murmurs. i don't hear him.
"perhaps...were you forced here?" he suggests, laughing.
spot on!
"yeah, exactly! i was forced here even though i'm not even a fan–" i immediately cover my mouth, eyes wide as i stare back at him who looked at me with an amused smile.
"...sorry."
"it's fine." he continues smiling, and i couldn't help but feel like he reminded me of someone.
but who?
i frown as he returns me the album and i move onto the next person.

i watch as she turns to the member beside me, jisung.
"kang eun hye ..." i whisper under my breath. "what are the chances?" i say to myself.
before the next fan could come up to me, i signal for my manager to come.
"jeno? what is it? you need a new bottle of water?" he asks.
i shake my head.
"no, hyung. i was just thinking...you said you needed more hands?"
"yes, why?"
"is it possible to recruit someone?"
"hmm. well, technically, you can form your own team, so yes."
"really?" i feel my voice increase an octave higher. "then, what about that girl with the black cap?" i gesture to her, who was now standing in front of jaemin.
"her...? why?"
"no reason...just thought she could fit." i throw in an excuse.
he seemed to buy it.
"very well. i'll approach her, and inform you soon."
"thanks, hyung!" i grin in delight, my eyes following her as she steps off the stage.
