Chapter 2 - Fansign

It felt like Sooyeon had been in the Yeouido fan sign location for a century, and finally she was preparing to meet Jinyoung. Her Spinning Top album was slowly dampening from her sweaty palms, and she nervously wiped it on her jeans. She had already passed by JB and Mark, who had experienced her intense fangirling over them. Jinyoung was now in front of her, actually real and actually here.

Clutching the Spinning Top album in her hands against her chest, she did a ninety degree bow towards Jinyoung.

"H-hello! My name is Kim Sooyeon." She reached her arms out, album outstretched. She stared at the floor, still bent at the waist in a formal bow. "Please sign my album for me!"

Jinyoung let out a soft laugh. It was the same sweet laugh she always fell for when watching his V-lives.

"Hi Sooyeon-ah, it's nice to meet you." Sooyeon slowly straightened back to a standing position, tucking her long, curled hair behind her ear. Her glance nervously shifted onto his face, and she watched his expression change slightly. What is that look?

"Jinyoung, I know I don't have much of your time, so I'll get straight to the point. I was wondering if you'd be able to sing a short chorus with me. It would be my dream come true!" Sooyeon bit her tongue when she realized she was babbling too much. "The song I Don't Love You," she muttered shyly.

Jinyoung looked slightly surprised as he raised his eyebrows softly. "You want to sing with me?" He paused, running his hand through his hair. It fell back into place perfectly, despite having just been ruffled up. How cute.

"Alright, I'll start and you can follow me," Jinyoung smiled after a moment, eyes wrinkling up with his grin.

He started singing and, when the female part came along, Sooyeon chimed in nervously. As soon as she began to sing, Jinyoung's eyes widened in shock, and the corners of his mouth lifted again. JB and Jackson, who were sitting next to Jinyoung, paused their conversations in awe. The harmonized voices filled the venue, and everyone went silent. Once the chorus finished, Sooyeon looked around shyly. She noticed that everyone had stopped talking.

Youngjae let out a soft "Wah~" from two seats down.

"Are you trying to become a singer?" Jinyoung questioned, eyes still wide from what he had witnessed. "Your voice is amazing."

Sooyeon blinked twice slowly, not quite comprehending what he had asked. Snapping back to reality, she replied, "You inspired me to become a singer, Jinyoung."

As everyone looked at her, Sooyeon's face began to beat a bright red and she quickly tried to use her hair to cover it. She bit her lip, embarrassed.

"What was your name again?" Jinyoung asked. Sooyeon rubbed her wrist tattoo of a Sakura flower subconsciously, a nervous habit that she had developed. Jinyoung's eyes flickered to her wrist, following her movements with his eyes. He then looked back to her face.

"Kim Sooyeon," she said with a smile, eyes turning into little crescent moons.
