🕊️: "the song" (khj)

    The concert started an hour and a half ago. You were having so much fun with your fans that you wouldn’t have thought you spent this much time on stage already.
And you could feel like the crowd was also on fire, and happy to see you perform your greatest hits on stage. They were singing along with you, they were stomping, they were screaming and cheering you up. You could even notice a few of your fans trying to dance — they were of course paying attention to the ones surrounding them to try and hurt no one.
The light coming from their phone, flashlight and official or lightsticks was beautifully illuminating the pit and the rows. It was giving you sparkling eyes — both because of the love you were basically feeling and the reflection.

    A ment was coming, and during this ment, you eventually decided to stay there, with them, to try and have a little discussion with them. Those moments were priceless to you, and you knew too well it was also a moment they would love and enjoy to take pictures of you. No dancing, no moving, so no risks you would end up blurry on their pictures.
You were all sweaty because of the last performance. As they were cheering you up and screaming in rhythm, you took a towel the staff put in front of you, next to a bottle of water. You wiped away the few sweat drops, and put back the towel at its place.

    “Are you enjoying the show?”
You took the water bottle and drank a few mouthfuls while they were screaming to answer your question.
“Sorry what? Why didn’t I hear anything?”
You giggled as your fans screamed louder and even stomped this time. To tease them a little, you acted like you were losing your balance because of their stompings.
“How powerful.~”

    You took a few steps aside to go by the other side of the crowd so everybody could see you properly. It was a priority for you to make sure everybody could be seeing you no matter where they were sitting or standing.
You also gave your fans a few hearts they were sending you, or you were waving back at your fans.

    “I’m sure you took a look at my latest schedules, and so I’m sure you know that tonight is the last date of the tour, right?”
You nodded when you heard the fans screaming ‘yes’ from the top of their lungs.
“I don’t really want it to end, but I have no choice. And if I want to come to you with new songs and surprises, I guess it has to be like this, right?”
You made your way on the stage to a high chair the staff brought you. The height had been thought to be high enough so everybody was still seeing you, even when sitting down.
“I would like to know something! Are you ready? If you’re a new fan, I want you to raise your phone or lightstick the highest you can! Ok? One.. Two.. Three!”

    Immediately, you could notice a few lights going down, and the others going up. There were so many lights pointing up at the sky, you couldn’t even count or give an approximation. Over half of the crowd were having their lights up. Fair enough considering that your career exploded a few months ago, and starting from this moment, you felt like you were getting more and more popular.
    The reason? Half of your fans would say that you released your biggest bop. But the truth is something else. The other half of your fans guessed it well: something that could have been a scandal, but was in fact something the fans took better than you thought they would. A few people had spotted you with Hongjoong. He was the leader of a 8 member boy group which was very popular — and their popularity was still increasing day after day, week after week, and even month after month.
When the picture of you both started to spread all around the social networks, both his fans and yours started to investigate, until they found out your relationship wasn’t something new. Indeed, you were spending a lot of time with Hongjoong because he was helping you produce your songs, and since the very first songs of yours, he was mentioned in the credits. The thing is that you both started to build different feelings for each other. It wasn’t a simple colleagues or friends relationship between the both of you, but a love interest.
Hopefully, your agency has never given you both dating restrictions. Of course, you talked about this to the CEO, but it was only for the form. Any of you was actually scared of how it could end. And it was indeed unnecessary since the CEO gave you his benediction.
This is when you started to be more popular. His fans started to look after you. Of course, a lot of fans tried to build up dramas out of this. But way more fans protected you both, saying they were happy that two hard working artists weren’t putting aside their private lives, that you both deserved the happiness of feeling loved and that they were, anyway, no one to forbid you to date each other.
