3rd Person’s POV

It was the last fanmeeting for their debut promotion. Today is August 29, one month after they had debuted. A lot of things happened already happened to them in the past few days but they wouldn’t change it for anything to be here in where they are, with their fans.

“If you were a guy, which member would you date?” one of the Aliens asked the leader.

“Ofcourse, it’s L.” she answered, glancing at their maknae. “We look great together, right?”

“Yep, I’m a Paprika and Iriel shipper." the girl informed and showed the pictures of her ships on her phone. "We’re called Leeks and Frappes, by the way. We talked about it in Twitter.”

Ked chuckled and shook her head fondly at their fans. But it was actually great that they got along well together. On the other hand, Jeril was confused why Frappe is their shipper name.

“So, are you a Frappe too?" the Alien infront of her smiled and nod. “What does it means?"

"A fan remembered how you and Anika unnie meet for the first time, it involves a frappe.”

"Oh, right. Yeah, Lei spilled the frappe I bought for her in Anika’s shirt. Now, I remember."

They talked for more while L, on the other hand, is currently hiding under the table. The fan infront of her had brought a huge box full of customize Paprika things especially for her.

“You don’t have to do this, it’s embarrassing.” she mumbled cutely with a blush on her face.

“I’m sorry, I work at a printing office and I couldn’t help but made this.” she mumbled shyly.

“No, don’t apologize. I’m thankful for your efforts.” L received the huge box and placed it behind her. “I’ll work harder for you, thank you so much for the support…and for the love.”

While they were all communicating with their fans, Anika is signing all the things the Alien infront of her has. She wanted to make this fanmeet memorable for him since it’s the last.

“I’m sorry, I just had to ask…” he said suddenly. “What do you like the most about Chase?”

“Chase? Well, she’s my bestfriend. I like her just the way she is. But if you want me to choose one, it would be the fact that she’s always there for me. In one word, reliable.”

“That’s nice.” he smiled. “I’m actually a Leek, but I’m starting to ship Iriel. So, I had to ask.”

“I don’t mind.” Anika smiled back and finished signing his album. “As far as I know, we’re more real than Paprika so…” they laughed together before the guy stood up and left.

The fanmeeting continued for awhile before it was finally closing up. But just before they were going to say the ending speech, the door of the venue opened and enter the idols.

“It’s TWICE!” one of the fan shouted. “BTS and IZ*ONE, GFriend and GOT7 too! Oh, God!”

The Aliens started screaming the names of the idols approaching 4D, but the girls just rolled their eyes. Always the fan of dramatic entrance, Ked thought and walked towards them.

“Don’t you all have schedules to get to?” she asked annoyedly. “What are you doing here?”

“We just wanted to be here cause it’s the last one of your promotion.” Dahyun defended.

“And besides, we accompanied your parents.” Choi Youngjae, Anika’s cousin, added.

And the door opened once more. The fans also greeted the 4D’s parents enthusiastically. Mr. Kim and Mrs. Kim are famous for acting, Mr. Son is once a famous idol, Mr. Choi is the owner of Choi Entertainment, and Mrs. Jeon is the principal of the Sae Young Academy of Arts.

“You girls look great.” Mr. Jeon greeted with a Jeon-smirk in his face, a replica of Jeril’s.

“We wanted to get your autograph, but it seems like we’re too late.” Mrs. Choi stated.

“And here I thought it’s one of the perks having an idol daughter.” Mrs. Son also added.

The 4D members exchanged glances in disbelief. Was their parents really being supportive of their wants now? Is the world ending? Or are these people just clones of their parents?

“Aren’t you going to greet us, Danielle?” Mr. Kim asked in his deep voice but Erika heard the softness behind it, making her ran towards her father and engulped him in a tight hug.

Lei, Anika and Jeril also got down the stage and approached their parents, letting them pull their child into a warm hug. At this moment, they weren’t 4D. They weren’t Ked, L nor Chase, they were just Erika, Lei, Jeril and Anika. A normal daughter to the people hugging them.

“We apologize for making your life hard, Dane.” Mrs. Kim stated as she touch Erika’s cheek.

“We apologize for not being there for you, Lei Min.” Mr. Son said, caressing Lei’s hair softly.

“I apologize for ignoring what you want, Iniel.” Mrs. Choi muttered, hugging Anika tighter.

“And I apologize for always pressuring you, Lj.” Mr. Jeon finished. “Even so, we all love you.”

“We love you too.” because at the end of the day, they were still their parents. They were the reason that they’re living on this Earth, they gave life to them. They were their guardians.

A parent’s support, care and love is needed by any child, and that includes every 4D member.
