âïž The stars aligned for @kookie247!
âWho are we going to meet?â She placed her gently on the ground after the child cheered âKookie Monster!â Hand in hand, they stayed in line, patiently waiting for their turn to see her old friend. From where they were standing, Stella could already see the star on stage. The sight of him greeting his fans, signing whatever they brought to him, made her heart swell with pride and joy. She knew he could do it. He really did succeed, in the end.Â
He had grown up quite a bit ever since Cheongnam. His features were sharper. He seemed to have lost weight. Motherly instincts started kicking in when she noticed that. Has he been eating enough? She would ask him that later. Â
20 minutes later, she earned the chance to stand in front of him, hand still holding on to Lunaâs. Unbelievably, she was speechless. She had rehearsed what she 4wanted to tell him days before the fan meet. Now that she was there, those words seemed to dissipate when their eyes met. Does he even recognize me?Â
Years. Years have gone by since they last spoke and maybe it was her fault since she could not go to his events to meet him personally. All she could do was be a silent supporter, buying his albums, watching him on music shows. But she did miss him. They were close in high school, after all.
Lifting her free hand, she offered him a small wave and then a soft âhelloâ along with a shy grin. She dropped her gaze and placed his album in front of him. On the cover was a note, written on a blue post-it. In case he could not remember her, maybe the sign-off at the end would trigger some memories.
âYouâve worked hard, Iâm proud of you. Stella â„ïžâ Â
