supernatural afterparty
for @syfxjia
(tw alcohol)
Chaerin takes a deep breath as her car stops in front of the venue, letting a smile settle on her expression. Though she's tired from the charity concert StarbrighT performed at earlier, she always looks forward to the afterparties. The chance to socialize with other idols is a treasure she covets, and she won't let a little fatigue get in her way.
She pushes open the wide double doors and steps inside, greeted to a large gathering of the other idols from the concert, as well as models, actors, and other celebrities. Having only debuted a year ago, Chaerin hasn't personally met many of the celebrities present, but she recognizes quite a few of them. Most people are already clumped together in groups, drinking and socializing, and Chaerin can't wait to join in.
She makes her way to the table delicately stacked high with a tower of champagne glasses, taking one for herself and sipping at it before making her way around the large ballroom. She mingles with a few celebrities, greeting people she knows and introducing herself to people she's never met. Most people receive her with wide smiles and friendly words, but some hear her name and their expressions twist into a look as they recognize her name, and though Chaerin should be used to it, it still stings enough that she slips back to the edge of the crowd for a moment to collect herself.
There's a table full of wine glasses on this side of the room, and Chaerin takes one after finishing her champagne. She sips on it as she observes the crowd, and her eyes are eventually drawn to a figure hanging back against the far wall. Chaerin can't help but stare, squinting as she tries to place the familiar woman. Is she from one of the girl groups Chaerin had met backstage earlier?
Then it hits her all at once. Jia Acosta, FL0R H4NA's main rapper. Chaerin's eyes widen—no way.
Chaerin had been a fan of FL0R H4NA since their debut. Their unique, powerful concept had inspired her through the roughest times in her life, and Chaerin had always dreamed of performing with them in some capacity. It seemed unreal to see one of the members standing just across the room from her—and for it to be Jia Acosta, no less. Chaerin had always held special respect for Jia, and now she feels more than a little starstruck.
Her legs are moving before her mind realizes, and soon she's crossing the room and walking up to the other idol's side. She stops just in front of her, giving the unsuspecting woman her brightest, beaming smile.
"Hi, Sunbaenim! I'm Park Chaerin—I'm a huge fan!"
