Dating an idol was like a dream come true that you had never imagined you would see come to fruition.
Sure it was one thing to learn Korean, another thing to move to Korea, and then a whole other thing on its own to just make Korean friends, but to meet Laon in itself was a miracle.
It started off when you just ran into him while on the streets. His papers had gone everywhere, scattering through the wind from the simple force of how quickly you had been rushing.
Your urgency forgotten, you were immediately apologizing, trying your best to try and help him gather all the papers. The sorrow however was quickly replaced by giddiness as the two of you began chasing the papers being torn through the wind like leaves. You both laughed as you jumped for the sheets, and when you guys had finally grabbed the last one- three blocks away from where you started you two were so tired from laughing and running that you both collapsed into the grass, breathing heavily.
"I'm Kyuhyun," Laon introduced breathlessly, his head turning to look at you, splaying his blonde hair in the grass. You smiled at him and told him your name.
"It's nice to meet you," you said softly. He returned the smile.
"And hopefully this isn't the last time that I get to hear that name," he mumbled. He sat up in the grass, hovering over your body. That made your face turn red, an action that you luckily could blame on the running. "I know this is a little unorthodox but... I want to see you again. Can I have your number?"
You knew it was a little unorthodox, but you gave it to him anyway.
You didn't find out for about a month that Laon was an idol.
Sure you met all his friends, and knew he lived in a dorm, and knew a lot of people, but when girls stopped him on the streets, faces red and shy as they spoke to him calling him Laon, and he just brushed it off saying they were childhood friends, you had believed him.
Until you came across the Mnet performance of Bloom of course.
"I didn't want you to think less of me," Laon had admitted softly.
"I would never think less of you," you replied with a roll of your eyes.
"It would be different if we were under a bigger company, or even had a better debut-"
"You're following your dreams," you interrupted him, placing your hand comfortingly on his shoulder. "You're doing what so many people dream of doing, and you're my boyfriend. I'd support you no matter what."
Laon had smiled at that, meeting your eyes again. He pressed a small kiss to the corner of your lips and sighed happily.
"I was lucky to bump into you."
"I could argue the same."
But it was hard to date an idol. Not that Laon was too busy for you or anything of the sort. He always made time for you, going out of his way to make sure that you felt included in all the events he did.
You had never realized just how overwhelming it could be to know that Laon was around all sorts of beautiful idols all the time. Especially since you knew that he was an extremely pretty idol. He definitely stood out in a crowd, especially since he was always pushing himself so hard to make sure that he was noticed by others so that his group could stand out and leave their mark.
As such he got a lot of attention from female fans and fellow female idols, and it was enough to make you hug your arms as you waited for him after a fan event or a stage.
