Chapter 19
'The kids will be sitting there!'
The job seeker entered the fan signing event venue with excitement.
A long autograph table was placed on the stage. The opening music video was playing in front.
'It's starting to feel real now.'
A heart pounded throughout her chest.
How much her stomach hurt after hearing the review of her friend who went to the recording.
—You've arrived??? Oh, I'm so jealousㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Yoo-hyun is a real gangster in real lifeㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Now the situation has completely reversed.
The job seeker, who lightly skipped over her friend's urging message, started setting up the camera diligently.
When the fan signing event was scheduled, the event started without delay.
Chajajajajak-
The members of M8 came up on stage.
The shutter sounded along with cheers.
The job seeker's eyes were fixed on the first member to come in.
'Wow, it is really crazy in person.'
Kwon Yoo-hyun, her friend's favorite.
The camera didn't capture even half of Yoo Hyun in real life.
A small face without space. A skinny yet solid-looking physical.
After going to the public broadcast, she understood the behavior of her friend, who had been crying out for Yoo Hyun like a person who was mesmerized for a while.
'Ah! No!'
She quickly turned her head in search of her favorite.
"Ack..."
Yeonwoo was second in line.
The job search period was getting longer and longer.
She was getting more and more lethargic as she was exhausted from the seemingly endless hours of part-time jobs and job search preparations. One day, she was chosen by the algorithm and met Yeonwoo for the first time.
The innocent rabbit-like figure, just looking at it was a visual that healed both her body and mind.
The job seeker who finally saw that face with her own eyes sighed and covered her mouth.
'Ahhh!! What the hell is going on with the dimples....…? Are you telling me to swim there or something?'
Fck. Thank you for being an idol.
If we met in real life, it was a face that would make me fall in love and die for.
"G'day mate! Hello, this is M8!"
The members standing in front of the table greeted each other with Sungjun's lead.
They all looked energetic and powerful, but there was a strangely awkward atmosphere typical of rookies.
'Wow, you're really cute.'
The members hesitated awkwardly as it was their first fan signing event. The event began in earnest with some simple small talk.
—41
The job seeker was relatively late in the list.
'It's a bit of a shame, though.'
She was in a happy mood, thinking that she would leisurely enjoy Yeonwoo until her turn.
"Yoo Hyun-ah!"
There were definitely a lot of Yoo-hyun fans at the fan signing event.
'It's more like a nerd crowd.'
After all, the fans are into visual members.
The job seeker was diligently taking pictures of Yeonwoo with her camera when she glanced at Yoohyun sitting next to him.
And she raised her eyebrows at the unexpected sight.
Perhaps it was because the fans were moving at the right time that Yoo Hyun was greeting the audience.
'You're looking after them well?'
As each fan's turn passed, Yoo Hyun would gently greet the people calling him from the audience.
Although he still looked awkward as a rookie, his efforts were quite cute.
Then, when the next fan came, he leaned forward as far as he could and focused on what the fan was saying, which seemed very sincere.
The job seeker's turn came quickly.
She gathered the things she had brought and lined up in front of the table.
The first batter was Yoo-hyun.
"Hello."
A soft, low-mid voice that put the listener at ease.
When she stood in front of the table, Yoo-hyun met her eyes and greeted her.
She was breathless for a moment.
'Wow.'
He's so damn handsome. Even though he was just looking at her, he gave off an aura that seemed like something out of a myth.
'There are people who look like this?'
"What's your name?"
"...Ah!"
She realized that she hadn't even received Yoo-hyun's greeting.
Even saying her name buffered.
"I'm sorry, I'm nervous..."
"It's okay. I'm nervous too."
Yoo-hyun stopped signing and smiled faintly while looking into her eyes.
She became dazed again.
'You're... dazzling people with your face??
She was lost in thought, admiring Yoohyun's face. Yoohyun was already leaning toward her, as if he had finished signing.
"Is there anything you were curious about?"
"Uh..."
She tried to recall the question her friend had asked, but her mind was already blank.
'I'm sorry.'
In the end, she blurted out whatever came to mind.
"Who is your closest member?"
"A close person? Hmm......…"
Yoo-hyun frowned and began to think seriously. As his lips became straight, Yoo-hyun's white and soft cheeks puffed out.
"Wow."
The job seeker let out an exclamation. A fairy?
And then her mouth started to babble on its own.
"Yoo-hyun ah, can you poke your cheek just once?"
"My cheek?"
Yoo-hyun tilted his head and poked his cheek with his finger.
In an instant, the sound of a shutter and screams poured out from the audience. The shock of witnessing it right in front of her was enormous.
I swear, at that moment, he looked more adorable than her favorite.
She fumbled as he poked his cheekbones.
"No, no. Me! No, I was wrong!"
"Ah."
Yoo-hyun's eyes widened and he smiled awkwardly. Even that face was cute.
Yoo-hyun didn't look particularly cute, but that made his unexpected cuteness even more approachable.
While she was silently groaning, Yoo-hyun leaned forward and stuck his head out.
"Like this?"
Her heart pounded. It was too close.
More than anything, Yoo-hyun's nose bridge, from his forehead, was so pretty.
She poked Yoo-hyun's forehead with her trembling fingers.
Yeah. Shouldn't this be designated as a natural monument?
'Aahh!'
She swallowed a scream.
'So X soft and so X smooth!'
'If you make a stress ball with Yoohyun, you can chew a billionaire.'
The job seeker waved a hand heart to Yoohyun.
Yoo-hyun, who had been fidgeting for a moment as if he wasn't used to it, smiled awkwardly and followed her with a hand heart.
'Ahhh!'
It was an overly harmful creature.
In the meantime, Yoo-hyun carefully opened his mouth as if he had finished thinking about her question.
"I think I am the most comfortable with Yeon-woo right now."
"Really?!"
"Yes. We're the same age, and... he's also the most calm."
Yoo-hyun awkwardly smiled, raising the corners of his mouth. Her heartbeat quickened. My favorite and him are the closest...... !
'Fck, is this fate.'
He started talking as if the floodgates had burst open, from how he got into M8 to how he chose his roommate and what he does on his days off.
Yoo-hyun answered that he didn't really have any hobbies and that he usually eats or sleeps when he has time, and he felt sorry.
'I guess you don't have time to sleep.'
Dog-like TP. If you start to roll the kids hard, they'll get tired quickly.
While she was telling Yoo-hyun to take care of himself, the staff told them that time was up.
The job seeker was moving around in a dazed state, and only came to her senses when she made eye contact with her favorite.
"Wow, Yeonwoo...."
She muttered without realizing it.
"Hello."
'Huh.'
A soft and delicate voice pierced her ears. A shiver ran up the back of her neck.
'How is this happening?'
Her eyes and ears were overloaded, and she couldn't come to her senses.
Yeonwoo was wearing a puppy ear headband.
Whoever put such an incredible item on Yeonwoo, the bag strap looked longer than the roll of tissue.
"Yeonwoo, your current headband is so pretty, but can you wear this?"
She handed over the rabbit ear headband with a blush on her face.
"Wow, this is really cute!"
Yeonwoo smiled with his eyes closed, and the dimples on his cheeks deepened.
'No, no. You're cuter.'
She covered her mouth and swallowed a scream.
Yeonwoo, who had been fiddling with the rabbit ears, carefully placed them on his head.
Then, cheers came from the audience.
Yeonwoo, with his round, gentle eyes and kind face, was sharply divided between the puppy and rabbit groups among his fans, but the job seeker was completely lost in the middle of it all.
However, at this moment, a realization swept over her.
'Yeonwoo is a rabbit. If you refute, I'm right.'
The job seeker covered her mouth and was overcome with emotion.
When she stammered and said her name, Yeonwoo began to sign diligently.
In the meantime, she reviewed the questions she had diligently prepared, but.
An unexpected question pop out in her haste.
"Yeonwoo, by any chance, how tall are you?"
'It's such an absurd proportion that I can't even believe it...'
Despite her obvious question, Yeonwoo stopped signing and pondered.
"I haven't measured myself recently, but the last time I measured myself... I think I was 181."
She resisted the urge to tear out her hair. It was a perfection that was embarrassing.
'Now if you just marry me, you'll be even more perfect.'
Time passed quickly.
'In the end, I didn't get to ask a single question I had prepared.'
The job seeker received the autographs of the following members in a daze.
It was literally a situation where a handsome guy came after a handsome guy.
M8 realized once again that the saying that all the members are visuals was not created for nothing.
She came down from the stage in a trance.
The job seeker absentmindedly checked the autograph paper and found an unusually long sentence.
'What is this?'
—Next time we meet, I'll show you a perfect heart.
Thank you so much for coming today.
It was Yoohyun's P.S.
She looked back at Yoohyun in surprise.
'I didn't even ask you to write a P.S. in the first place because I was worried you'd be too busy signing and listening to the fans!'
Yoo-hyun, who had left such an adorable comment, was talking to Yeonwoo after finishing all the autographs.
He was wearing a teddy bear hat that no one knew who gave it to him, and he was smiling like a baby bear!
'Fuck. With that face and personality, doesn't that mean just arrest me?'
It was such a lovely sight to be with Yeonwoo wearing rabbit ears that she doubted if it was real.
'This is crazy. This is crazy. Everyone is crazy.'
At this point, it felt like the world was going crazy.
She returned to her seat and frantically grabbed the camera and clicked the shutter like crazy for a two-shot of Yoo Hyun and Yeonwoo.
—What did Yoo Hyun wear today?
—How was it?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I asked you to ask!!!
—Did you ask?!
—Why don't you look!!!!!!!!
Her friend kept texting her.
Unfortunately, the job seeker couldn't ask even one of the questions her friend asked her to ask.
But she knew. She just had to send the pictures she had just taken.
'I understand why you got hit.'
From today on, her second favorite is Yoo Hyun.
***
The autographs were finished sooner than expected.
[Today's Daily Quest]
[Give 50 fans on site a gift of fan service!]
[38 people / 50 people]
The results were better than I expected.
... Maybe it was because of the practice, but the aegyo I was worried about was less embarrassing than doing it in front of the members.
Of course it wasn't easy.
'There was a crisis.'
I thought of the 'emotion' PS. that Quest mentioned.
It was a common request from fans at the autograph session.
—Thank you so much for coming today, and always stay healthy.......
The moment I wrote the sentence that I had been thinking about for a long time, a system window suddenly popped up.
[Violation of idol virtues! Please put your soul into the comment!]
[Lifespan shortened.]
[-04:00:00]
I hastily recalled the conversation I had with the fan and wrote an additional sentence.
Then, the emotion count was immediately added to the quest window.
Thanks to that, I think I achieved this much, but..
'There's not much time left.'
There were still 12 people left.
[Lifespan remaining 20:21:35]
The relatively generous lifespan was in danger again. There wasn't much time left until the daily quest ended.
"Everyone! The Q&A will now begin! Now, please pick first!"
Kang Se-hyun, who was the daily MC, handed me a box with a questionnaire written on it.
I moistened my lips and carefully picked the paper.
'I have to decide here.'
The last event of the fan signing event began.
