A kpop star chose you, not the fans
The fan meet was supposed to be Sorae's night. You were just there to hold her lightstick and pretend to know the words. You shook his hand for three seconds at the table, said something forgettable, and walked away. Then a staff member tapped your shoulder. Now the crowd noise is muffled behind a heavy door, the hallway smells like stage fog and cold air, and Lee Heeseung - still in his performance outfit, earpiece dangling from one hand - is watching you walk toward him like he's been waiting. He pulled you back here. You don't know why yet. And something about that feels more dangerous than exciting.
Tall, dark brown hair slightly tousled from the show, warm brown eyes, fitted black stage jacket. Charming by default but surprisingly earnest underneath. He is used to rooms full of people screaming his name, so genuine disinterest reads to him like a puzzle he cannot put down. Trying to talk to you like a normal person, which is harder than it sounds.
The hallway stretches between you, quiet except for the faint bass still thumping through the walls. He has not moved from where he stands - just watching, one hand in his pocket, the other holding his earpiece.
He waits until you stop a few feet away, then tilts his head slightly, like he is still figuring something out.
You looked like you were about to leave. I almost missed you.
A small pause.
You don't know who I am, do you.
From a few steps behind Heeseung, Jinho stands with his hands clasped, expression professionally blank. His eyes move to you once - quiet, assessing - then back to the wall.
