Falling for you

Chapter 22

She emerged from the bathroom,wearing a black oversized hoodie and a cream skirt,tucking the hoodie into the skirt,she tied her hair up,her newly died brown hair falling down in neat curls.She pushed her bangs slightly to the side as she sat on the comfy stool in front of her glowing vanity mirror.She took a natural shade of red,applying the liquid on her lips gently.She smiled at herself.She didn't think she was pretty.In fact,she placed herself at the average level of modern day beauty.But,that wasn't the case.For those around her thought of her as the goddess of beauty.

She frowned as she glanced at the message displayed on her phone.

From:OPPA❤️
Yah!What's taking you so long?The meet and greet is starting soon.

Seventeen had left much earlier than her for they chose to drop by the company to collect goodie bags for the fans for that day during their meet and greet.

She sighed,taking her black knee length boots at the side of her bed as well as her black channel bag,placing her phone into the bag as well as her red lip tint.

Checking herself once more in the mirror,she headed out of the dorm,meeting Chan Woo and Jae-Jin who was waiting for her in the black Audi A8 car.She sat at the back,Jae-Jin riding shotgun as Chan Woo drove out of their neighborhood and into the bustling,more crowded streets of Seoul.She lowered her head as she looked through her phone,bringing her rose gold beats headphones to her ears playing Seventeen's tracks for their 6th album which they had planned to call You Made My Dawn.

She knew this,of course.She even managed to get ahold of their Seventh Mini Album's name.Or pending name,at least which she'd heard to be You Made my Dusk.

She found this very fascinating for their 5th to 7th album would have a similar concept all having to do with the different times of the day.Dawn,Day and Dusk.She smiled fondly as the track of Home played through her headphones,the beautifully composed music blasting into her ears.She sung along,her melodious voice sounding in the car.Jae-Jin and Chan Woo smiled together,proud and honored to have such a kind-hearted idol to work with.If anything,she cared more of those around her than herself.

For that's what she believed in.And if it made those around her happy,she would be glad to give up her own happiness.If it meant that their smiled would never leave their faces.And she would do so without the slightest hesitation.

Her eyes closed as she bobbed her head to the beat and moved her body to the choreography that she'd seen them do so many times,time flew by quickly,soon reaching their destination of their Fan Meeting.Which was in fact,In coex mall's event hall.

She wore her black mask before stepping out of the car,lowering her head,she moved beside Jae-Jin and Chan Woo,additional security guards pushing other fans back as Hyejin made her way through.The fans pushed around,screaming in hopes of her looking.She lifted her head,her eyes smiling as she waved a few times,though mostly hidden between Chan Woo and Jae-Jin.Once they entered through the glass doors of Coex mall,she widened her eyes.Those black eyes mesmerized by the amount of people that had come to see them.She was beckoned to walk faster and she did,all the while her eyes filled with wonder and amusement.

"Are they all really here for us?"she asked Chan Woo softly.He nodded,smiling slightly at the girl beside him.

"Now,let's walk a little faster.Seventeen is already in the function hall waiting for your arrival in order to start the fan meet.

———

Hyejin peeked through the door which had been left slightly ajar.The sliver of which she saw the faces of anticipating fans,paying just to meet them.The fan meet they were currently holding was no special.Fans they would personally meet would have to pay.However,Hyejin had a special surprise in mind.

All of which were to be revealed later on in the fan meet.

She beamed,hearing the voice of their manager through the speakers,introducing their arrival on the small stage at the front of the function hall,a red sating cloth hung on the table,pen holders carrying black pen markers,fourteen chairs pulled out for Seventeen and herself.

The warm breath of someone made her skin tingle,goosebumps erupting from her flawless skin as she waited for them to be called out.

"I love you."a husky voice whispered in her ear.She stood still,trying to calm herself down.

"I,too,Wonwoo."she mumbled.

Wonwoo chuckled,his laughter reverberating in her ears,bringing a faint blush on her cheeks.As she heard their names,the door opened,Seventeen members piling out onto the stage.She slapped her cheeks lightly before following them.On her face,a large grin.

They all bowed at the crowd,wide grins as they waved at the mass before them,cheering their names as fan girls and a few fan boys held their phones out.

Hyejin laughed,waving at all those gathered.You could see the look on their faces.One filled with happiness and surprise.The reason being that they's expected fans to turn up.However,they didn't expect that large mass that had appeared before them.

It was just...surreal.They couldn't quite comprehend the feeling that surged through their bodies.Yet,one remained unfazed.Hyejin.She had a look of comfort,her eyes shining brightly.They's expected as much.

She did like to interact with her fans,after all.And it went without saying that she was more than comfortable with the crowd.Her heart belonged to them as theirs did hers.Don't get her wrong,she didn't like too much attention.But she loved her fans as though they were her close friends.

And it went without saying that her packed schedule as an actress and model alongside being and Idol would get her used to all the attention she'd get.Whether in the past,present or future.Nothing would change her love for the people around her.

She bowed once more to her fans.

Taking the microphone from the staff,she spoke.Her voice resonating through the large room.

"How is everyone?"she smiled,her eyes gleaming.

"Good!"the fans cheered,screaming her name in joy.

"That's good.I hope you've all had your lunch?"

Most shook their head,causing Hyejin to frown.

"Why haven't you eaten?"she asked pouting,her arms crossed across her chest.The members of Seventeen watched as Hyejin interacted with the fans,smiles on their faces.

"Now I'm angry!"she said into the microphone,turning her hear to the side.

The fans laughed at her,yet some called for her to cheer up,promising to eat well after the fan meet.

She smiled,"You better eat after the meet,arasseo?"she asked,to which the fans replied.

"Nae~"She laughed,handing the microphone over to her brother,Seungcheol who announced to start the fan meet.

They took their respective seats along the long table,markers in hand,ready to sign their albums as well as answer whatever questions they had.

Hyejin sat at the end of the table,waving at the fans as she tried listening to whatever they had to say.

She smiled at the cameras of fans lined at the front,watching as the fans who had payed to meet them up-close slowly moved,interacting with the boys first.She looked down at her hands that had been interlocked with Wonwoo's.She smiled,waving her other hand whilst squeezing Wonwoo's hand.

She was thankful that the satin fabric hid their interlocked hands.

She smiled.Maybe her idea of hosting a fan meet wasn't so bad after all.
