Chapter 1012: It's Hard Being An Idol
June's eyebrows raised in surprise.
"Ah, that's right," he said, not confirming or denying anything.
Well, he had met a lot of fans during the span of time he had been an idol. It was impossible to
remember all of them! He felt just like a teacher who was confronted by a student whom he didn't know.
However, she did look familiar, so June didn't put out the possibility that they had met before.
She chuckled. "I guess you don't remember," she said.
June scratched the back of his neck. "If you'll remind me, then maybe I'll remember."
She shook her head with a smile. "It's okay," she said. "It's impossible for you to remember every fan."
A small smile made its way to his lips. She was actually pretty cool. The fan sign was going much better than he had anticipated!
"Yeah," he muttered. "So, where have we met before?"
"During your first fan sign," she said. "However, it was so quick, so you might not remember."
"Ahh," June said. "You went there, too? You've been a fan for a long time, then."
She nodded.
"What's your name?" June asked.
"Mia," she answered.
"Alright," he muttered, signing her album.
And just like that, the staff gestured for her to end their conversation. Her eyes widened, and she quickly dug for something in her bag.
"Move, please," the staff strictly said.
However, June raised his hand. "It's alright," he softly said.
Then, he turned back to Mia. "What is it?" he asked.
"I almost forgot to give it to you," she smiled. "I made it myself, so I want you to keep it."
June took the keychain from her and observed it.
It was a small bobblehead that looked awfully familiar. "Is this me?" he asked.
She nodded. "Please keep it."
June smiled and placed it in his favorite bag. "Here," he said. "Thanks a lot."
Mia smiled and finally went to Jisung's seat, where the two talked about the 'June keychain' she had made.
The smile on June's face couldn't be painted. He enjoyed cute items such as those!
However, the next person seemed to enjoy cute things, too.
"Please do the kitty aegyo for me, June!"
His eyebrows raised in surprise. "I'm sorry. What was that?"
The fan pulled out a photo and showed him a pose of another idol, who looked like he was having a hard time, posing as a cat-his tongue out and all.
"Oh goodness," he muttered.
It has started.
Unfortunately, it didn't just end with that.
June didn't know why K-pop fans loved to ask their idols to act cute when they were grown men, but Akira's words echoed in his mind, reminding him of the reason.
"They spend the most money out of all the fans in the world! They even buy stars and land under our name," he exclaimed. "Of course, they think they can ask us to do anything!"
So, with that, June did as he was told-as long as it wasn't too unreasonable, of course.
"Please draw something here," a girl said, her hands shaking as she offered her arm.
June pursed his lips, drawing a poorly-drawn star on her arm. However, she moved her arm prematurely, so he was only able to draw three sides.
June's eyebrows raised in surprise.
"Wait-"
"Perfect," the girl smiled, looking at the drawing with sparkling eyes. "I'll get this permanently tattooed on my body!"
June had to back away a bit. "I don't think-"
"Move, please," the staff said, and the girl happily went to Jisung.
He pursed his lips. Well, that three-sided star looked strangely like a phallic organ.
"Whatever makes her happy, I guess," he muttered.
He also wasn't the only one who encountered such weird fans.
"Can you please spit in this specimen cup?" a fan asked Sehun. "I want to mix it with
Jaeyong's and act as if you're making out."
Fortunately, the staff members acted quickly and kicked her out after she said those words. However, Sehun would be left traumatized for the rest of the event.
"I wrote a song for you," another shyly said, handing a piece of paper to Ren. "I know you love writing. I won't mind if you use this song."
Ren smiled. That was actually really sweet!
However, as he looked at the lyrics, his smile dropped.
'Please me, touch me, make me a doll.
I love how you hold onto my neck.
Strangle me if you can.
Kiss Me. Give me a peck.'
However, just right next to him, Akira was also struggling.
"I think you're the best singer in DAWN," the fan said.
Akira chuckled and shook his head. "Nah, that's definitely June."
"But thank you," he added. "I really appreciate it."
"I'm telling the truth," she insisted. "That's why I want you to judge my voice. I'm going to audition for Phoenix soon, and I want you to give me comments."
"Oh, they're holding an audition?" Akira asked.
"Yup," she said. "In the next two weeks! I'm going to be your colleague soon."
Akira chuckled. "Go ahead then."
The girl started singing, and Akira held in the urge to cover his ears. She finished with a wide
smile, causing Akira to purse his lips together.
"So, how is it?" she sweetly asked.
Akira smiled. However, it didn't reach his eyes.
"Well, you're singing! You're definitely singing!"
The matter of whether she could sing, however, was something an idol couldn't say to his
fan.
"Aww, I knew you had great ears!" she exclaimed. "I'll really see you soon."
Akira merely chuckled and watched as she went over to June.
The fan sign continued with a few more weird moments. However, fortunately, nothing
drastic truly happened.
Yet, once again, it was too soon to speak.
As they got to the last row, one girl bypassed all the other members and headed straight to
Jisung.
She jumped over the table and held onto Jisung's collar.
"How can you leave me?" she exclaimed.
Jisung looked at her with wide eyes.
"How can you leave my baby and me alone? Don't you have any pride as a man?"
