Description

Was it worth it?  The endless stream of hate and bashful comments coming from teenagers around the world, all because of a simple date with her boyfriend.  What if she wasn't an idol? What if people didn't see them as "Kai & Krystal" but Soojung and Jongin, just like any other college couple in Korea at the moment.  Soojung is exhausted and scared; she's never felt this vulnerable since her sister has left, and immediately reverts back to her "ice princess" image whenever a camera points her way.  Will she be able to get past this obstacle, with Jongin by her side?  Or will she be forced to leave him, and give up this tiresome life to return to America and study as an ordinary student, and start a new chapter in her life...

Foreword

This is my first fanfic, because I've recently submerged myself into the KPOP world, after listening to some amazing Korean drama OSTs (I'm a bit of a kdrama freak haha #noshame)  for so many years.  F(x) and Ailee has definitely caught my attention, and of course, Krystal, since she and her sister are from America, and have apparently been known for the longest time as "ice princesses."  This particular image definitely appealed to me, and made me like her even MORE due to the fact that she is being REALISTIC and stays true to herself, despite the public's onstant criticism of her doing so.  It has made me admire her more and more, along with just about every other member of F(x)- they are such a unique and lovable group!  As for EXO.. well my friends used to be SUPER obssessed with those boys a couple years back.. and that kind of made me neglect and barely pay attention to them, until very recently, when I heard Chen's OST for DOTS, Lightsaber, etc.  I don't really have much to say, because I don't really know much about them, but Kai is hot hahaha (pretty sure most of you agree xD), and his dance moves are on. point.  

I've decided to start writing this due to the recent KAISTAL news, that I DO support, and all the hateful comments on poor Krystal's social media accounts, and Korean articles.  Honestly, whether you're a teenager or adult crying your eyes out now that your supposed oppa has betrayed you, I hope you open your eyes and wake up from those delusional dreams immediately, and start growing up.  Do you know either of them personally? Nope.  Do you really believe that they will marry you one day? That's a VERY low chance (considering Jake T. Austin is dating a fan, I can't say "impossible", but it's pretty much nearly so.)  I also hope you acknowledge the fact that colleges ARE ABLE to and WILL trace back quite a bit of information about you, INCLUDING what you have previously posted on social media sites; it will not matter that you are a little kid now, in a few years, I guarantee that a college admissions officer will not be very pleased that your childish side tends to stoop so low as to use inappropriate colloquial expressions, out of a little jealousy that someone you used to admire has disappointed your personal goals or expectations.  So, to all the haters out there that are hurting innocent people, because yes, believe it or not, Krystal and Kai ARE human beings, who have EMOTIONS, and are probably hurting so much due to all the hate they're receiving for simply going out.  

 

I absolutely support Kaistal, and am so happy that Krystal can rely on someone other than her F(x) members inside of the same company that holds SNSD, in which they have been involved in a major controversial issue with her beloved older sister.  No, we don't know what happened, we can only speculate.  But we do know that Krystal loves and deeply respects her older sister, as any other younger sibling would, and that Jessica has cut off most ties with them, thus placing Krystal is in a very difficult position.  The fact that this reserved and humble idol, who has been avoiding scandals this whole time, has found joy by going out with Kai, a longtime friend, is amazing and I'm grateful to the fans that DO support both them, as an item, and as individuals.  They both deserve the best, and hopefully they find that in each other.  No "Krystal is so lucky to have.. or Kai is such a lucky guy.." they are both lucky in my opinion.  And if they're happy, then LET THEM BE. 

 

OK I'm done now, if any of you read that, thank you very much, I really appreciate it, and I hope you look forward to my very first fanfic!  Please don't hold high expectations, or I will have to sadly let you down lolol.
