—fansign location
sitting comfortably, it was nice to know that she would be able to participate in a fansign. it was a little disappointing not being able to when they were actively promoting, but now that all those schedule problems were out of the way, it was easier to fit things in. oh my god they were so busy that it was stressful watching her members be stressed when she was the one who was regularly overwhelmed.
this would be the first time they met a lot of their fans, she was more interested in that than anything. she didn't know what the demographic of their group was, did males like their songs? did females like their songs? she hoped plenty of the people who fell beyond the binary liked their songs. she felt as if music wasn't something that you can subject to two labels easily.
"is everyone ready to go out there?" she stood up and stood behind all the members. it was gonna be weird being there since sm had made it pretty clear she was halting most activities as long as it wasn't gonna get her more injured. staring at the signatures and messages from the members on her cast made her smile. she allowed them to doodle and decorate it because the bland white was boring.
it comforted her while the members were away, which would be sweet if it wasn't because she was injured. maybe that made it sweeter, it's hard to tell at this point.
getting into the room, she gasped seeing so many fans seated and people with cameras. she doubted any of her fansites woulds be here. unless it was announced that she would be present at the fansign. hearing screams as she waved with her freehand. she missed this partially, during all her comfortable break was the love the fans gave and the energy they had.
they managed to have so much energy to scream their lyrics and do their fanchants. she was always amazed with artificials. "hello everyone! are you surprised to see me?" she laughed, sitting down at her spot and leaned against the table as she stared sweetly at fans. "yes!" staring over to the member who said that, she tsked and went back to looking at fans.
"this is our first fansign, and there are so many of you here." the american duo were really enjoying themselves here. "ah, uhm. quick question. are any of my fansites here?" she asked shyly, looking awkwardly around to see any signal. her eyes widening when at least a few people raised their hands. looking at them closely and gasping when she realized that it was indeed her fansites. "r-really? oh my.. i'm so happy. did they say that i'd be here on daum cafe?" her face basically brightened knowing that her fansites were here.
seeing nothing to signal a yes, it made her even more happy. even if they didn't know she'd be here, she assumed the managers let them know. "unnie is so happy knowing you guys didn't forget her!"
"unnie loves you arts" the other members cooed and giggled. smiling at the fans, she turned her head to look at her members and deadpanned. her natural rbf revealing itself in a snap. seeing them freeze up and slightly shift their view, she turned and smiled again to fans.
the fansign started promptly as a few began to be sent up at once. one already stopping to meet her. "hello, wow you're so cute." she cooed, quickly struggling to uncap the pen and sign it as smooth as she could. "what's your name cutie?"
"ah, areum" she nodded and wrote a quick to cutie areum, remember to keep yourself well~ and handed it back.
"seokyu unnie.. may i hold your hand?" she nodded and smiled, holding it softly as she listened. "fans have been very worried for you, i'm so glad to see you well. we really wish that you recover soon so you can have fun again. i have a gift for you as well! it was hinted that you might be here so that's why a few of us have gifts prepared." she gasped as a bag got passed to her.
she already felt emotional and it was her first meeting with a fan. opening it, she looked up at the girl with bewilderment and the look that basically meant 'you're kidding.' pulling out the kuromi plushy, she never had felt so happy before. "i'm so glad you knew i loved kuromi. thank you so much areum. i don't know how i could live without fans like you. i will try to recover as soon as i can because of people like you. i'll remember you if we meet again." she felt so overwhelmed.
