Oh my god I’m next in line. What if they don’t like me? What if I suddenly forget how to speak korean? .....Oh no, what if I have something in my teeth??
As a thousand thoughts race through my head my turn in line is getting closer and closer to the stage. I’ve been waiting for this day ever since I discovered nct one late night. It had been a few months since they debuted and I didn’t expect to fall in love with the rookie group so fast. Although confused by the concept of their groups, I was eager to learn the names of those handsome faces. In particular one member stood out right away, and I quickly searched for his name. Mark Lee. He was the main rapper in not 1, not 2, but all 3 groups. I was fascinated by him from the moment I saw him in the 7th sense. His looks, his talent, not to mention his weird sense of humor, he had it all.
I spent the rest of that night downloading the few songs they had, and watching all the live stages and videos I could find. I was completely enchanted by the members and the talent they had as a group. If someone would have told me in that moment I would have met them one day I would have laughed in their face.
Now back to today. Here I am standing before them at a fansign — first time I’ve ever seen them. ....Wow they’re way hotter in person...I didn’t think that was possible.
“Next” someone suddenly shouted, snapping me out of my thoughts. Oh my god I’m next! This can’t be real, I screamed inside my head. Keep it cool (Y/N), keep. it. cool. I took a deep breath and stepped up onto the stage.
I’d gotten through the first few members with ease, although i did choke on my words when yuta called me his girlfriend. Total Yuta move. I moved on past Jeno and Jaemin. ...Of course they are sitting next to each other. Having a conversation with one without the other joining in was impossible. But I wasn’t complaining. I loved the relationship between the two of them. (nomin shippers anyone??)
I spent so much time focusing on my conversation with Jeno and Jaemin I hadn’t even realized who was next. My heart stopped as my eyes met with Marks. My stomach twisted into a knot and my palms instantly became sweaty.
I started to introduce myself in korean but he stopped me. “Do you speak English?” God his voice is so beautiful in person. I can’t believe he’s speaking words to me, like we’re actually having a conv- “Sorry did you not understand me?”, he asked in korean with a sweet smile on his face.
“Oh my gosh, yes I speak English! I’m so sorry, I am just so mesmerized by you.”
“Mesmerized??...you’re too cute”, he said with a little giggle as he looked down at the table where he was fidgeting with his hands.
Oh gosh..mesmerizing?? Did I just say that? ..Wait cute? Did mark just say I’m cute??
“Well yeah...you’re Mark Lee, the most talented person on the planet.” Gosh I hope I’m not sounding like a kiss-ass.
“Thank you”, he said, again grinning down at the table. “So where are you from? It’s rare to see many non-koreans at our seoul fan meets.”
“Oh I’m from America. I’m actually studying abroad here for the entire year. I just got here a month ago so I’m still getting used to everything here.”
“Oh really? That’s pretty cool! How’s it been so far?” He looked at me as if he genuinely cared about what I had to say.
I tried my best to speak with confidence but inside of my head I was a total mess.
“Honestly?...Its been really cool but I haven’t made any friends who want to explore the city with me.” He made it so easy to talk to him, like we were old friends or something.
“Well”, he said with a goofy little smile, “If you’d ever like a tour guide....”
It took every muscle in my body to keep myself from fainting. “You can’t be serious???”, I said with a slight smile, acting as if I knew he was kidding. But I hoped he wasn’t kidding.
“Well, I mean yeah...unless you don’t wa-“
“No no! I’d absolutely love to have you show me around. And I’d love to have a friend!”, exclaimed maybe with a little too much excitement.
He leaned forward, “Come here”, he said quietly as he wiggled his finger towards me. He then cupped his hand around his mouth as if he wanted to tell me a secret.
I leaned forward, turning my face a bit to the right so he could whisper in my ear. “Give me your phone number, but don’t tell anyone or make a scene. We could get in trouble”
...woah bad boy Mark. Hot.
As time with him was running out, I quickly wrote my phone number on a sticky note while he signed the album I brought. I handed him the note and he shoved it in his pocket. I reached towards him to grab the album and my hand accidentally brushed against his. Being as awkward as we are, we both blushed and giggled as our hands reached up to cover our faces.
The following 15 minutes I went down the rest of the line, meeting the rest of the members.
At the end of the fan sign I gathered my things at my seat. I picked up my album and started to flip through the pages as I walked towards the exit, reading what each member wrote. “Much love from Lucas Bieber”....god why am I not surprised.
I flipped to the next page and saw the note Mark had left me: “See you soon (Y/N) - Mark”, He had signed his name with a cute little heart next to it. I took one last glance up at the stage as we were chauffeured out of the building. My eyes met his staring right back at me. He gave me one last smile. “See you soon”, I whispered. And with that I walked out of the building, thinking about the next time I’ll get to see mark lee again.
