K-Dream: A K-Pop Idol Story

I received a fun request to make Kurapika into a K-Pop idol. Enjoy!

Kurapika

I don't remember ever feeling this nervous. Not even for the hunter exam. As I stand here on stage with my seven colleagues, or rather, fellow band members, I feel a mixture of emotions. We have all worked hard for this. Practicing long hours, sometimes through most of the night, we are ready for this.

For the first time in my life, I feel like the weak link. These guys have worked for this role for most of their lives. I fell into this position by accident. I'm about to perform in front of thousands of fans, singing in a language that took me two weeks to learn. I'll be dancing moves I never knew my body was even capable of doing.

I can hear the crowd scream louder as the stage lights above us turn on. The music fills the arena. I hear it through my earpiece. We are starting with one of our more upbeat songs to get the audience pumped up. I can already hear some of the fans scream my name. A name that doesn't belong to me.

The lights flash above us, changing colors. I'm standing in the middle, waiting for my turn to start dancing. A second later, I start to pump my arms in the air while moving my legs in the opposite direction. I jump a few times. When I land, I thrust my hips while grabbing the crotch of my leather pants. The crowd screams even louder.

My chains are conjured, but not for battle. They have become a fashion accessory. I place my scarlet-colored microphone close to my lips. It's my turn to sing.

Deo ganghan naeil-eul wihae sal-ala.

After my line, we all sing the chorus together.

By the time the song ends, we are all breathing heavily. It's time for our introduction.

I'm the fourth member to introduce myself. I wave my microphone in the air before speaking.

"I'm K-Dream. I hope to see you in my dream tonight," I say with a big smile on my face. I blow a kiss to the crowd.

After the eighth member introduces himself, we all speak in unison.

"We are YOUinverse, and we are happy to be here with you tonight." We bow.

The rest of the concert flies by. The eight of us work so well together. I also have to give credit to our backup dancers. They are amazing. I give the most credit to our fans. They are called Infinities. Without them, we would be nothing.

So why all the apprehension? I suppose it's because for once in my life, I'm enjoying myself. Being in this band has given me a new outlook on life. Yes, I am still a hunter. I always will be. Afterall, that's the reason why I'm here. I'm one step closer to retrieving another pair of my brethren's eyes.

I hug my K-Dream plushie as I watch the Youinverse concert with my two roommates, Haneul and Ji-Hye. I've never wanted to attend a concert so badly in my life. Tickets prices are outrageous and the little checks I get from working at the cafe isn't nearly enough to buy one. So here I am, sitting on the floor watching it from my apartment.

Haneul teases me when she sees me blush during K-Dream's solo. She takes my plushie away from me.

"Hey, give that back!" I shout. 

She pretends to give it kisses. "Aww...how adorable is he?" She tosses it back to me. "Why is his character a rat anyway?"
I catch my plushie. "I don't know. Leave him alone."

Thank goodness we each have different biases. K-Dream caught my eye from the moment I saw a picture of him. He's definitely the hottest one. I read he was scouted right off the street in Seoul because of his unique look.
