Chapter 104
It wasn’t as though I needed to make sandwiches for them—honestly, it didn’t matter either way.
I simply found the youngest member’s bold determination to do this for the fans endearing.
“But… your schedules are already so packed. Making them yourselves…”
“Noona, just trust me! And the hyungs have great stamina. My fingers hurt. Promise me quickly!”
Unable to resist Ho-seung’s urging, I linked my pinky with his.
“You really don’t have to do this. Just take good care of yourselves. Don’t get hurt and do well with your activities!”
“Of course! Noona, you’re not only beautiful, but you speak so kindly too. Thank you!”
‘I know it’s flattery, but it still feels nice.’
Park Mo knew objectively that she had an ordinary appearance, yet her lips continued to curve upward.
As the warm conversation drew to a close, the Staff Member’s urging forced Park Mo to reluctantly move to the next position.
“Hello!”
This time, Seo Ha-yul with his gray hair stood with his head bowed low, his ears burning crimson.
“Oh… Ha-yul!”
The nickname had slipped out naturally without thinking.
Watching Seo Ha-yul’s face turn bright red in real time, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Pfft…!”
“Um… yes. If the fan calls me Ha-yul, then I suppose I’m a cat.”
Seo Ha-yul, his face now tomato-red, nodded earnestly.
‘How cute!’
Seo Ha-yul trembled nervously with his hands but made an effort to continue the conversation.
“Have you eaten yet?”
“Yeah. While waiting, I ate some of that Heartping Bread you guys like so much!”
“Really? Which character is your favorite among them?”
“I like Macho Ping! How about you?”
“Oh… me too!”
The moment the topic of favorite characters came up, Seo Ha-yul’s eyes sparkled and his mouth opened wide.
Watching Seo Ha-yul try his best while being shy, Park Mo felt a mischievous urge welling up inside her.
‘His reactions are so cute that I want to tease him.’
Park Mo was beginning to understand why her favorite member enjoyed teasing Seo Ha-yul so much.
“Ha-yul.”
“Yes?”
“Could you do a meow for me just once?”
Seo Ha-yul’s face flushed so intensely it looked ready to burst as he nodded vigorously.
“Yes! Let me try!”
As Park Mo held up her camera, Seo Ha-yul continuously called out “meow”—he was the very picture of a cat.
“Hahahaha.”
Laughter escaped from Park Mo without her realizing it.
Even amid his embarrassment, Seo Ha-yul’s earnest effort was truly both adorable and admirable.
‘This is the fresh charm of a newly debuted rookie. I’ve really found a gem here.’
Just as I was savoring the moment, a Staff Member’s voice urged us along.
Park Mo reluctantly rose from her seat and moved to the next station.
“Hello, Princess!”
At the bright, cheerful greeting, I turned to see a prince with flowing golden hair flashing a radiant smile as he extended his hand.
“Wow…!”
‘I honestly thought he was a real-life prince.’
Rua, who had inherited his father’s genes strongly, seemed even more surreal up close with his distinctly exotic features.
“If you don’t mind, may I greet you with a hand kiss?”
‘Is he going with a prince concept?’
“Of course.”
As Park Mo carefully placed her hand over his, Rua gently drew it toward him and placed a light kiss on the back of her hand.
“…Kyaa!”
A genuine exclamation of delight rang out from deep within her.
‘Having lived abroad, he really does have a different mindset!’
Though unfamiliar, it was an utterly satisfying greeting for Park Mo.
‘He has a completely different charm from the younger guys!’
Her heart raced faster once more.
True to his reputation as a born entertainer, Rua generously displayed his prepared talent.
“I’ve prepared a three-stage aegyo combo for today!”
“What is it?”
“A wink, a heart, and a lip pout—three moves in one combo. Want to see?”
“I’d absolutely love that!”
She showed no hesitation whatsoever in playing along with his charm.
‘Wow… he’s truly the best.’
I was completely mesmerized by Rua’s magnetism when it happened.
“Time’s up. The next person is waiting, so we’ll need to move you along.”
At the Staff Member’s familiar prompt, Park Mo snapped back to reality.
“Bye bye! Thank you for spending time with me today, Princess. Let’s meet again next time!”
“Yes, let’s definitely meet again!”
As I reluctantly moved to the next station, I found Kang Chan waiting—rigid and stiff as stone.
‘They arranged the seating deliberately this way, didn’t they?’
It was a strategic arrangement: the company had wedged a shy member between more outgoing ones, clearly determined to keep the energy alive.
“Hello.”
The moment his deep voice resonated, Kang Chan bowed respectfully.
“Yes, hello.”
“….”
Though Kang Chan struggled to maintain his poker face, his ears were turning bright red in real time.
“Did you come from far away?”
“Oh… not too far. My place is nearby.”
“That’s fortunate.”
Kang Chan had clenched and unclenched his fists so many times that his palms were now covered in dense black ink.
What was that?
With stiff movements, Kang Chan glanced at his own palm before speaking again.
“Do you happen to like desserts?”
“Yes. I like cookies.”
“I see. Cookies—I’ll remember that.”
Kang Chan carefully wrote “cookies” on the paper laid out on the table.
“Um…”
“Yes?”
“I’ve been curious since earlier—would it be okay if I saw your palm?”
Park Mo noticed Kang Chan’s obvious habit of stealing glances at his own hand.
“…You may look.”
Kang Chan’s ears had turned so red they looked ready to burst as he slowly opened his palm.
There, roughly ten questions were crammed densely across his skin.
“Ha-ha, what is this?”
“The truth is… I’m really not good with words.”
Kang Chan’s face turned as red as a beet.
“This is my first time having such a long one-on-one conversation with a woman, so I wrote these down in case I made a mistake.”
Did Kang Chan really have this kind of hidden charm?
“Ha-ha-ha!”
Park Mo couldn’t help but let out a genuine laugh.
“I’m sorry if I’ve offended you.”
“No! It’s not that I’m offended—it’s just that you’re so cute.”
“…Pardon?”
Despite his large frame, Kang Chan had quite an endearing side to him.
Was that why he always pulled his hat down so low when dancing?
Kang Chan seemed to be far more shy than I’d initially thought.
“What do you like most, Kang Chan?”
“I love dancing most of all. It’s my greatest joy in life!”
The embarrassment that had filled Kang Chan’s eyes instantly transformed into seriousness the moment dancing came up.
What an interesting person.
“I don’t know much about dancing, but is there a good style for beginners to start with?”
Kang Chan’s face brightened as he nodded eagerly.
“Rhythm dance or choreography to familiar songs work best. We designed our song’s chorus to be easy for fans to follow, so if you’d like, would you be interested in learning it right now?”
The chorus of “First Hello” featured a simple waving motion like a greeting, making it easy for anyone to follow.
“Like this?”
As Park Mo swayed her hands left and right, Kang Chan demonstrated the proper technique.
“You’re doing well. I think if you just repeat the final part twice in time with the beat, you’ll have it.”
“Hmm… like this?”
“Yes! Perfect. You seem to have a real talent for dancing.”
Watching Kang Chan clap with genuine joy, Park Mo’s lips curved upward in response.
After receiving a one-on-one lesson from Kang Chan for quite some time, the Staff Member’s voice rang out once more.
“We’re moving to the next location!”
Finally, it had arrived.
At the prospect of meeting my ultimate bias after such a long wait, Park Mo’s heart raced wildly.
“Hello.”
A pleasant voice resonated in my ears.
The bias I’d dreamed of was sitting right in front of me.
‘He’s really handsome.’
His face was much smaller in person than on screen, and his eyes held a warmth far gentler than I’d imagined.
“Oh… hello!”
My voice trembled and cracked from the nervousness.
Embarrassment washed over me, but I couldn’t afford to waste a single second at the Fan Sign Event.
“I came to the fan sign… um, I didn’t sleep at all yesterday.”
Before I could finish speaking, he tilted his head slightly and met my eyes.
At that gaze directed solely at me, my heart rate soared to dangerous levels.
“Me too.”
Those three words felt like my chest was collapsing inward.
‘Wow… this is insane.’
It was the ultimate catharsis I’d never experience again in my lifetime.
“Just thinking about meeting you made me so excited….”
I was smiling, but tears threatened to spill over, so I quickly lowered my head.
Then my bias continued with a playful laugh.
“I couldn’t sleep either thinking about meeting our fans. But this is a secret—actually, all of our Group Members were so excited last night that we were pacing around the Living Room and didn’t sleep a wink.”
I could feel that his playful words weren’t just empty fan service—they were sincere.
‘I’m so glad I came today.’
Just as I thought my heart might actually burst, he asked.
“May I ask your name?”
‘Oh! He asked for my name!’
“My name is Park Seo-yoon.”
My voice continued to tremble foolishly, but I didn’t care.
“Seo Yoon, thank you so much for making time to come today. Because of you, our Team exists.”
‘My bias calling my name.’
I truly felt I’d lived well.
Perhaps I’d endured everything up until this very moment for the sake of today.
As he signed, he called my name several times, writing each letter with meticulous care.
Despite the time constraints, he showed no rush, focusing entirely on me.
‘I need to give it to him now.’
Park Mo had no particular crafting skills, but there was a handmade plushie I desperately wanted to give him—one I’d made with all my heart.
It was a one-of-a-kind doll I’d created with devotion, pouring my affection into it day after day.
“I actually made this doll myself. Would it be possible to take a photo with it?”
The moment Park Mo pulled the two-headed wolf-eared figurine from her bag, my eyes widened in delight.
“Wow, a wolf? It’s so adorable!”
“Yes. I made it after seeing you wear the wolf headband on the variety show.”
“You have such talented hands! Of course I’ll take photos with it. Do you have a pose in mind?”
‘I’m so glad they like it.’
Seeing genuine joy light up their face, I exhaled with relief.
‘This might be a bit of a bold request, but if not now, there won’t be another chance.’
Park Mo squeezed her eyes shut and called out with determination.
“Would you mind holding it against your cheek?”
When I cautiously cracked one eye open, worried they might refuse, they were already smiling brightly and bringing the doll to their cheek.
‘This is insane. They’re genuinely adorable!’
Desperately suppressing the scream threatening to burst from my chest, I raised my camera.
Click, click!
I had to preserve this moment forever.
While I was absorbed in shooting, they kindly suggested something.
“Should we try changing the pose?”
“Oh my, I’d be so grateful!”
‘How can they have such good instincts?’
They struck every pose imaginable—peace signs, hearts, everything.
Greed taking hold, Park Mo played her final card.
“Um… would it be possible for you to look at the camera and say something encouraging, just once?”
