I Thought I Knew

       This chapter is really corny and just...well read for yourself :)

     

 

            Fansite banners, posters, T-shirts, fans, light sticks. The whole area around the venue was filled with fans flaunting off their love in the form of their memorabilia. Lined up in row after row leading up to the front doors, I was somewhere near the middle. Situated between two groups of girls with different biases, one of which happened to be my boyfriend, both sides tried to persuade me to join their group seeing I was alone.

            “So which one is it, unni? Luhan or Kai?” The one I deemed to be the leader of the Kai fan club asked with a knowing smirk on her face directed towards the girls in the Luhan group. I chuckled at their fangirl behavior and pulled out a small banner from my bag. Unrolling it to reveal who my bias was the Luhan side screamed with victory. The Kai side pretended to be disappointed but I could see the rivalry was all in good fun.

            “Oh, the line is moving! They must be letting people in!” A girl shouted out a few down from where I sat. Everyone shuffled to stand up and move with the crowd. I looked around at the people and couldn’t help but smile. The amount of love and support but also the pure excitement of seeing a group of guys made me forget that the Luhan everyone was cheering for was actually mine. The idea that the Luhan everyone idolized was mine was too surreal in this kind of moment. How could someone like me, date someone like him?

            I bid the two groups of fangirls goodbye as we parted ways to our respective seats. They were situated somewhere up higher, I on the other hand had the privilege of a floor seat. Though, I would have gladly traded one of them to be somewhere out of Luhan’s sight. 

            The ushers on the floor guided me to my seat and complimented me on my choice of seating. I was right there at the foot of the stage, easy place to be spotted by one of the members, if not all of them. The people around me situated themselves accordingly with SLR cameras that looked pretty intimidating. I just sat in my seat, picturing what it would be like to see him again after a month. I bet he changed his hair color again.

            An eruption of screams rang throughout the whole arena as one by one the lights dimmed, turning the whole venue pitch black but soon enough the place was lit up with a sea of light sticks all giving off the same color of a soft shade of purple (just picked a lightstick color). From where I sat, as they moved back and forth it did look like a constant wave running throughout the whole building. That along with the uniform fan chat countdown to the show’s start gave me chills. The large screen just behind the stage flashed on causing an ear numbing scream to start as each of the members were introduced. Getting swept up in the moment, I couldn’t help but cheer along. I screamed my heart out when the VCR of their introductions ended and the stage went black again but the familiar chant of their song Mama shot out from the speakers situated on either side of the stage.

            Just like all the other girls, I sang along to the familiar lyrics when one by one on different parts of the stage each member emerged. I gasped when one of them popped out on stage right in front of where I sat but sighed in relief when I saw it was just Chen. My heart was beating with the strong bass of the song as my eyes searched the stage for Luhan. As they flipped their hoods off and rid themselves of their cloaks, I saw that Luhan was located on the opposite of the stage. Relieved, I cheered along once more but something else inside of me wanted him to see me. I wanted him to know I was here.

            Mama, History, Wolf…the songs were winding down to a much slower beat when the next song had my breath catch seeing who one of the singers was.

            Whether or not I wanted to admit or not, I fell for Luhan at first because he was Luhan from a group called EXO. His hyped up good looks and staged personality were mine to make out for my own. I didn’t know him but I fell for him. I had dreamed of what he’d be like in person until I actually met him. Aside from it all, away from the camera, away from the stage, Luhan was just like any other man. He had trouble showing how much he cared but took things in stride or at least he made it seem that way. I never wanted to pry into his life. I wanted him to tell me what he wanted to on his own, but that was hard when we barely saw each other.

            Chen, Baekhyun, Kyungsoo, and Luhan stood together singing their song that all the girls holding their breaths. Together their voices were powerful enough to melt even the coldest heart, one of them being mine.

            My love for Luhan didn’t reach far enough off stage.

            The feeling he gave me on stage and off stage was completely different. If they were both forms of love, one was bound to be platonic. I just didn’t know which one. The four boys separated and wandered around the stage to different parts of it to sing to the awaiting crowd. Luhan came dangerously close to where I stood but passed my section entirely. Look at me! Luhan! I thought.

            “Luhan! Luhan!” A girl just behind me screamed out like her life depended on it. I wasn’t the only one that wanted Luhan to look at them. I glanced back at her to see her aggressively waving her fansign while calling his name, voice breaking and all. She screamed even louder, dropping her sign when I turned back around to see Luhan crouched down right in front of where the two of us were standing. Sweat dripped from his forehead down his temples, his chest heaved up and down from heavy breaths, and he had his hand outstretched for people to touch. I didn’t meet his glance and moved to the side, giving the girl behind me the chance to see her precious Luhan in the flesh and to shake his hand. She did just that, before he pulled away and moved somewhere else.

Honestly how are you supposed to feel when your dating a superstar and are in this situation?
