On the way home after the [Idol One Heart Sports Festival].

“Hehehe… .”

I hummed happily as I looked at the prizes piled up in the trunk.

The members laughed and asked me, seeing me like that.

“Wow… Yerin unnie won a ton of prizes.”

“Yerin looks really happy.”

“Of course. Just the prizes I won today are numerous.”

Of course, I was only notified that large electronic products like air purifiers and TVs would be given out separately later, but the prizes I received on-site were enough to warm my heart.

At this, I excitedly shouted to the members as if I had become rich.

“There was a Korean beef set among the prizes I received earlier. We will grill it for dinner when we get back to our accommodation. Now that the activity is over, ”

But then there was a heavy voice that cut off my very excited words.

“You are welcome to eat it, but we will take the fatty sirloin and chadolbagi with us.”

“Ah… .”

It was Director Jeong sitting in the passenger seat.

“If you let your guard down for a moment, weight management will quickly collapse. Eat only lean beef and pork belly.”

I couldn’t help but be shocked by Director Jeong’s stern declaration.

“Chadolbagi… I wanted to eat it… .”

“Chadolbagi has too much fat. Please eat only the parts with less fat. Of course, sauce and rice are also prohibited, and you should eat it with the salad that was originally scheduled for dinner tonight.”

“Ahh… .”

Beef goes perfectly with rice, but it has been banned.

When I made a gloomy expression, Lee Hye-jeong, who was next to me, straightened my hair and said.

“Don’t be too upset, Yerin. The manager said he’ll give you a vacation soon. Just eat lots of delicious food during your vacation.”

vacation.

Yeah, vacation is coming up soon.

Our rookies, who had been running nonstop for so long and desperately wanted a vacation, opened their sleepy eyes and asked Director Jeong as soon as they heard the word ‘vacation.’

“That’s right, vacation. Director Jeong! I told you we were going to give you a vacation!”

“You said you would send our rookies on a vacation? In Korea? Overseas?”

“… Hehe, calm down, everyone.”

Director Jeong answered, sweating a little, as if he was burdened by our nagging.

“I would like to send you on vacation right away, but… isn’t there something I forgot?”

“Did you forget? Ah…!”

By the way, Director Jeong said that he had other schedules besides the [Idol One Heart Sports Festival] before the vacation.

which….

“Fan signing event. There is a fan signing event scheduled for the day after tomorrow.”

It was a fan signing event.

“Ohhh… , fan signing event… .”

When they heard the word fan signing event, everyone’s eyes filled with anticipation.

A fan signing event is a channel for direct communication with fans and is an event that all idols experience.

‘It’s a fan signing event…’

My heart also felt a little pounding at the thought of being able to see the fans who support me in person.

“Tomorrow, there will be a rehearsal for the fan signing event and a training session on precautions. Today, as soon as you go back to your accommodations, get some rest.”

“Yes!”

So we returned to our accommodations with our anticipation for the fan signing event… and the day of the fan signing event arrived quickly.

**

The day of the Rookies fan signing event.

Shiver shiver.

Private Yoo Chang-seon… No, civilian Yoo Chang-seon was shaking his legs in the art hall where the Rookies fan signing event was being held.

Because I would soon be able to see Hayerin in person.

‘Are you sure you can really see Ha Ye-rin right in front of you…?’

Of course, I saw Ha Ye-rin in person during the pre-recording for the last music show.

But back then, I only passed by briefly while moving to the stage, but this time, I was able to get an autograph right in front of him and even talk to him alone.

“Please pick a waiting number here.”

“Yes… , yes, yep… .”

Shiver shiver.

In that excitement, Yoo Chang-seon received his waiting number with trembling hands.

‘What should I do? I’m going crazy because I like this so much.’

Of course, there was a lot of bleeding to get here.

Idol fan signing events are conducted through a lottery system, and for every album purchased, you receive one entry ticket.

If someone buys 100 albums, their chances of winning are 100 times higher than if they bought 1 album.

And the person who bought those 100 albums was Yoo Chang-seon.

Since one Rookies album costs 18,000 won, the total amount he spent was 1,800,000 won.

Yoo Chang-seon broke his military savings to cover the amount.

Some people might look at him like that and call him a fool.

Of course he was a fool, but… .

‘No, it’ll be the best value I’ve ever spent in my life, about 1.8 million won… .’

He waited anxiously for the fan signing event to start, thinking that it was worth it.

And at 2pm.

As soon as it was time for the fan signing event to start… .

Suddenly.

“Huh? Wooo-!!”

The Rookies members appeared on stage.

“Hello! This is Rookies.”

“Waaah-!!”

It’s so comfortable to be able to see the Rookies up front… .

Yoo Chang-seon, overcome with emotion, let out a roar of joy and quickly identified Ha Ye-rin’s location.

Hayerin’s seat is at the far right.

It seemed like it was the last turn.

“Okay, now let’s start the autograph session.”

“Waaa-!”

The fan signing event began with the staff’s instructions.

Yoo Chang-sun, whose lineup was right in the middle, waited for his turn while watching Ha Ye-rin sign autographs for other fans.

Ha Ye-rin greeted her fans with a small, genuine smile on her lips, as if she was happy to meet them in person.

‘cute….’

Even though I only looked at Ha Ye-rin’s face, time passed quickly.

“Please come in the next order.”

“Ah, yes…!”

His turn had come, and he headed to the stage with a trembling heart.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

As I got closer to the Rookies members that I had only seen on TV, my heart started beating so fast that I thought it would explode.

So he barely managed to take a step forward, his legs trembling with nervousness.

“Hello!”

“Ah, ah, hello… !”

The first one to attend the fan signing event was Lee Hye-jeong.

‘Wow…, damn it, so pretty….’

When I saw Naaah, I wasn’t really interested in Lee Hye-jeong except for the fact that she was close with Ha Ye-rin… But when I saw her in person, she was the prettiest person I’d ever met.

An innocent face and an ugly body.

She is a typical bagel beauty.

“Where would you like me to sign?”

“Here we go… . I, Hye, Hyejeong, when you were younger, I really cheered you on.”

“Really? Thank you!”

Even though it was just a vague remark made because she didn’t know what to say, Lee Hye-jeong smiled and bowed her head as if she was truly grateful.

Feeling that just that was healing his heart, Yoo Chang-seon moved on with a small greeting.

“Hello!”

“… !”

Next is Park Yu-jeong.

What should I say about Park Yu-jeong… She’s like the popular kid that’s present in every school.

“Thank you so much for coming! Did you listen to all our songs this time?”

“Ah… , yes… . I, I’ve heard it all.”

“K… , this time, didn’t you pick a really good song? Especially for me… .”

Yoo Chang-seon felt like he had become popular for a brief moment and moved on to the next step.

“Hello.”

“Hello… .”

This time it’s Na Hanna’s turn.

“Where would you like me to sign?”

“Ah… , please help me here.”

“Yep.”

Na Hanna signed autographs with her trademark sleepy eyes.

Of course, it didn’t feel like it was done roughly.

She wrote a carefully crafted comment along with her autograph.

Yoo Chang-seon felt his mind at ease and moved on to the next step.

“Hello!”

Next is Seo Yu-jin.

“I’ll sign for you, bro!”

‘Oh, brother…?’

What can I say about Seo Yu-jin, who looks confident and lively?

She had a lovely appearance like a little sister in an anime.

For some reason, she seemed to have a guilty conscience and she felt like a rich girl.

“I liked you since I was a kid…!”

“Oh, really?!”

It wasn’t a lie when I said I liked you from the time I was little.

Although Yoo Chang-sun liked Ha Ye-rin overwhelmingly, he liked Seo Yu-jin the most.

“Thank you so much, Oppa!”

At this, Seo Yu-jin smiled brightly and called him oppa again.

“See you next time! For sure!”

“Yes, yes… !”

In that way, Yoo Chang-seon moved on to the next step, still unable to come to his senses due to Seo Yu-jin’s continuous attacks on his older brother.

and….

“Hello.”

“… Huh.”

I froze as I read the next story.

‘Wow, it was this pretty…?’

During the Naa era, it was Yoo Chang-seon who was the leader of the anti-Yu Seol faction and prevented his unit members from cheering for Yu Seol.

But when I actually saw Yoo Seol… she was so pretty that I wondered how such a person could exist.

“Why are you like that?”

“You are so pretty… .”

“Ah… .”

When he finally answered Yu Seol’s question without any selfish intentions, Yu Seol smiled playfully and whispered.

“I was born pretty.”

“… … .”

Yoo Chang-seon was completely taken in by Yoo Seol’s one joke.

If Yoo Seol was a gumiho, he would have given her liver a long time ago.

‘Hey, come to your senses!’

He was only able to come to his senses after repeating to himself that Hayerin was next in line.

Looking at that Yoo Chang-seon, Yoo Seol laughed and asked.

“I guess you came to see Yerin?”

“Ah… , that’s… .”

Yoo Chang-seon was taken aback by Yoo Seol’s sudden question, but soon nodded.

“… Yes, that’s right.”

“Next up is Yerim. Thank you for coming and see you next time.”

“Yes, yes… ! Next time… .”

Yoo Chang-seon bowed his head to Yoo Seol and moved on.

No, I tried to skip it… .

“Really? Thank you so much. I… .”

I had to wait a moment because Ha Ye-rin was still talking to a fan.

While waiting, Yoo Chang-seon looked closely at Ha Ye-rin’s face and felt as if time had stopped.

pretty.

It’s really pretty.

If only Yu Seol had just been the most beautiful person in the world… .

Hayerin is the most beautiful person in the universe.

1.8 million won?

I didn’t regret it at all.

Even if it was 18 million won, I would have gone into debt and come.

As soon as Yoo Chang-sun saw Ha Ye-rin’s face up close… he became convinced that he could give up anything for her.

“Yes, goodbye! See you next time!”

Then the previous fan left and it was his turn.

Yoo Chang-seon walked towards Ha Ye-rin with a pounding heart.

And as soon as she stood in front… .

“Huh?”

Hayerin opened her eyes wide as if she recognized him.

no way….

‘Do you remember when we briefly met at Sanok?’

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

My favorite idol…, Ha Ye-rin…! She remembers me…!!

At that moment, Yoo Chang-seon felt as if he was flying through the sky…!

“That Japanese guy from back then?”

“… … ?”

Yoo Chang-seon had a question mark in his head at Ha Ye-rin’s words, but soon he was able to grasp the situation.

‘Ah, back then I called her Yerin-chan… .’

It was clear that she had misunderstood.

So he tried to clear up her misunderstanding… .

“I… .”

“How are you? Hello?”

‘……cute.’

The sight of Ha Ye-rin tilting her head and mumbling Japanese was so cute that I froze in an instant.

I felt like I didn’t want to break that purity.

Yoo Chang-seon could give up anything for Ha Ye-rin.

“… Orewa Nihonjindesu.”

“Ah, hi hi!”

He gave up Koreans for Hayerin.

“… Dokdo and the land of Kankoku.”

“… Arigato?”

“Sign here please.”

“Ah, Kimino Namaewa?”

“Fluent No… , um… , … Tanjiro Desu.”

“Tanjiro-kun. Thank you.”

Ha Ye-rin was so happy to see her Japanese fan who came to her fan signing event that she even shook his hand.

‘omg…!’

Yoo Chang-seon shook Ha Ye-rin’s hand with trembling hands.

‘Fuckfuckfuckfuck…!!’

I gave up on being Korean, but thanks to that I got this reward.

I had no regrets.

but….

“… … .”

“… … .”

The moment he turned his gaze to the table next to him and met eyes with Yoo Seol, who was looking at him as if he was crazy, he had a hard time suppressing the embarrassment that was welling up in him.

So he… .

“Yerin is always the best, fighting!”

“Arigatou! Bye-bye!”

He quickly bowed his head to Ha Ye-rin and ran away down the stage.

Hwaaa-.

The hand that had been holding Hayerin was burning hot as if it had been burned by fire.

‘This is the hand that touched Ha Ye-rin 10 seconds ago… .’

Yoo Chang-seon kept it carefully so that his hands would not touch it anywhere else.
