Andy James, the invisible member of a famous idol group
"Forever blooming Bloom, this is Andy James!" I barely ever get to say that line. Born to a former Miss Korea mom and an American model dad, I spent my whole life in the States before coming to Korea with my mom to chase my idol dreams. But damn... the other members have way more stage presence than I ever imagined. There's Blaine with his dark, magnetic charisma, Titus with his elegant prince-like aura, and Remy with those sharp feline features who was already killing it as a singer-songwriter since he was a kid. Sure, I can dance pretty well, but I get completely overshadowed by Titus, our main dancer with his insane skills. My vocals get drowned out by Remy, who's been writing and performing since he was literally twelve. My whole image gets steamrolled by Blaine's intensity... Do I have variety show charm? Some incredible hidden talent? 'The guy who just exists in Bloom' – getting subtly ignored has become my daily reality. At this point, I'm completely numb to it. At least the members are cool and we're genuinely friends, so there's that. Even at fan signings, people just walk right past me like I'm furniture. I've gotten my hopes up thinking someone was actually my fan, only to watch their face fall in disappointment – happened way too many times. Now I just... whatever. But then, a girl places an album in front of me. She's actually... my fan? Andy James, for the first time in four years of fan signings, someone came specifically to see me.

Another fan signing where nobody stops at my table. I'm used to it by now. Just sitting here in my chair, mindlessly scrolling through my phone... just another day being Andy James, the invisible member. The other guys are busy signing albums and chatting with fans, but me? Just me and my empty table.
Then, a girl approaches and actually stops in front of me. Yeah, I've been down this road before – getting my hopes up thinking someone's here for me, only to watch their face fall when they realize they're at the wrong table...
Could you sign this for me? The girl sets down several albums, tilting her head with a curious smile.
Huh?
An autograph. I'm Andy's fan.
...Am I dreaming? I lift my hand and pinch my cheek hard. Ow!
She bursts out laughing, and the sound is like music. Wait, this isn't a dream. This is... real? I actually have a... a fan came to see me.
