Idol. Idols

.01

Irene was never the type to be attached to someone so easily, but if it does happen, she'd find herself not wanting to let go. Not only that, but she finds it harder not to acknowledge her attachment.

Especially if it's for Kang Seulgi.

A very famous solo artist under the same company where she works at.

Her attraction for the tall, slim and charismatic singer occurred on one of the prestigious events Sm entertainment holds, SmTown concert. The different idols of different boy/girl groups attended the said event, and it also includes those in their solo careers under the circle of the entertainment company.

The show was about to end, and it's their practice that all of the artist must all stand in the stage while singing and waving to fans as a sign of bidding their farewells. Irene was standing right behind her other members, -- despite her lack of height -- waving through hundreds of fans, smiling endlessly and even jamming to the song that's currently on play.

And maybe it's all the rush on having to stand on the stage with the people she looks up highly, her sunbaes standing right beside them, the rookies as they called themselves. She should have seen it coming -- or at this case, heard it coming, the easily scared person she was should have expected the exploding fireworks.

She can't help the scream that went out her mouth, followed by the hands that covered her ears and the tight closing of her eyes.

But she did not expect another hands that was not hers that covered hers on her ears.

"Hey, you okay?"

The voice was laced with genuine concern asked her that it overpowered the loud explosions. Irene couldn't help but open her eyes, and was greeted with the most soulful eyes and charming smile she had ever seen.

"It's alright, just harmless fireworks."

The voice assured her while the smile widens more, Irene wasn't sure if she was more assured by the velvety voice that was so convincing or the smile that had her mind blank and the only thing that her brain could process was the smile -- or maybe it was both. Nonetheless it was effective that made Irene nod, still caught off guard by the sudden yet welcomed presence in front of her.

She didn't even noticed the ending of the loud explosions as she kept her eyes set to the still stunningly smiling woman in her front.

"Oh, it seems like it's over."

Irene fought the ugly disappointment that creeps her insides when the hands retreated back.

"And by the way Irene-sshi, you look so cute just now."

The smile brightened, eyes were tiny slits, before Irene can pick up her wits, she saw the retreating back of the offending person that called her cute. She doesn't want to be referred as cute -- she covered the face-splitting grin by her hands that came out of her all of a sudden.

That night, the other three members grew concerned of their leader when she continued to cover half of her face and didn't bother to explain, even until their manager sent them to their shared dorm.

It's safe to say that Kang Seulgi made Bae Irene this pile of gushing mush in just a night. Irene thinks she's in high school all over again, developing a crush on the most wanted-to-date person in school, she wanted to gag at her own idea but remembering the enigmatic singer's smile only made her sigh in adoration.

Videos of them that night leaked in social media that honestly didn't help Irene in the situation as fans started to ship them up as a couple, though Irene would never admit that she liked how people linked them both. But it did nothing to stable herself on the thoughts of a certain blonde-haired singer that turned her world upside down. (A/n: the author's a sucker for blonde Seulgi)
