Fans All Over (Part 1)

The Life of the Sixth Member

It was your first time to be in Vietnam and you couldn't be happier to see fans from another part of the world you hadn't visited. From the stories that the Super Junior members had told you, Vietnam was very fun and you couldn't wait to experience it yourself. 

"You look very excited, Eli-ah." 

You grinned towards her, not even trying to hide your excitement. Even though you're at the airport and that's usually a lot, you're always eager to meet fans and that includes at the airport. It couldn't be helped that you like flying, unlike your guardian. You're probably one of the only idols to actually like being at the airport. 

"I am, Unnie. Are you not?" You looked towards the second-tallest member of Red Velvet. 

Joy moved to give you a nudge on the arm, which you avoided like an expert. "You know I am, I just don't like having cameras so close to my face on the way to safety, you know." 

You snickered, nodding your head in understanding. "I know, Unnie. Just think that you're giving fans what they want: new pictures and videos of you." You paused slightly, "high quality too." 

Joy actually managed to hit you this time. "Eli-ah!" 

You gave her a shrug, "What? It's true." 

Joy kept mum, knowing you were right. Soon it was time to actually got out of the airport and you kept a smile on your face, which turned into a wide grin once you saw and heard the cheers from Vietnamese Luvies. 

"Irene! Irene!" 

"Seulgi!" 

"Joy! Yeri!" 

"Wendy! Eli!" 

You kept smiling and waving at the fans as your group moved towards the car. You tried to give as much fanservice as you could, knowing the chance international fans to see your group was rare. 

"Hello, everyone!" You greeted some as you went, the fans cheering your name response. 

"You're pretty, Eli!" Someone actually shouted in Korean which you made you let out a giggle. 

"Thank you! I'm sure you are too." That really made the fans cheer even louder, which caused Irene to flinch. 

You were walking behind her so you leaned closer to whisper your apologies in her ear. "Sorry, Unnie." 

She just nodded and kept walking. You knew she wanted to cover her ears badly but didn't want the fans to think she didn't appreciate their support. So, you tried to block the sounds as much as you could by slinging your arm around her shoulder and leaning your body close to her, making her lean slightly to your side. She wrapped her arm around your waist in thanks. 

After that, you went straight to the event. It was very fun, as you got to interact and perform for the fans. They even did the fanchants during the songs, which surprised you greatly. You now realised how much support international fans actually had for your group and that only escalated when you went out of the building to greet the fans outside, only to be greeted by what seemed like hundreds of people cheering the members' names. 

You couldn't let go of the wide, genuine smile on your face even if you tried. You couldn't be more thankful. 

That night, Joy and Seulgi decided to do an Instagram Live, which was a great idea as your group hadn't done one in a while. They had some room service and began eating as they try to read the comments and interact with the fans. Irene joined in not long after, also bringing her food into the room. 

"Where's Eli?" 

"She's sleeping. She's so tired she just fell asleep after taking a shower," Irene replied whilst setting her food down. 

Joy frowned in sadness, "That's too bad. It would be much more fun if she's here." 

"That's true," Seulgi chimed in, nodding in agreement. "She told me she's been wanting to do a Live for a while, too." 

Irene pondered about it. She wanted to let you sleep as she knew how tired you were but at the same time, she knew you would be upset if you knew you had missed a Live session. 

"I'll call her later, let her sleep for now," nobody argued when the leader tone comes out and this wasn't an exception.

For around 45 minutes they had some fun with games and the laughter that came out was unlike any other, especially Irene's. The fans had never seen her laugh that freely before so it was very nice to see. Joy and Seulgi also showed their silly side, with Joy in the lead. She even prompted a dance session to their song SAPPY. 

"Where's Wendy-unnie?" Joy asked at some point. She had been whining for her unnie for quite a while, wanting her to join in the fun. 

Irene picked up her phone from the bed and texted Wendy, asking if she was coming and if you were awake. Wendy was right next to you as you snuggled into her, making her a pillow. She was on her phone on the bed when you got out of the shower and went straight to bed, cuddling into her warm embrace. Wendy just adjusted her body so you were comfortable. She knew how tired you were and didn't want to have you wake up in discomfort. 

'Is she awake?' 

Reading the text, she looked down to see your sleeping figure, sleeping soundly. 

'No, still asleep.' 

Irene could be seen slightly frowning, not minding the conversation the other two were having. 

'Can you come? Sooyoung is still whining for you to come.' 

Wendy smiled, chuckling lowly. That girl is so clingy it's amusing. 

'I'll try, okay? I don't want to wake her up.' 

Irene put down her phone then, looking back at the phone screen across from her. They began to interact some more before Seulgi and Joy brought the topic of Wendy again. 

"Unnie, can you call Wendy-unnie? We want her to be here before this ends." 

Irene couldn't deny that so she texted Wendy to be ready that she's calling. After Wendy picked up, Irene turned the speaker on. 

"Yah!" "Wendy-unnie come here!" 

Wendy chuckled, "Eli is still sleeping and she's cuddling me, I don't want to wake her up." 

Seulgi and Joy cooed while Irene smiled like a parent proud of her child, it was quite an adorable sight really. "She must look so cute." 

Wendy looked down at your figure and smiled, "She does, Sooyoung-ah." 

"Well, please come! Try to get her off of you as slow as possible, she's a light sleeper," Seulgi suggested.

"Might as well wake her up, Seulgi-ah," Wendy snorted, "you know that won't work." 

Amidst their conversation, you began to wake up due to the movements of Wendy's body and her low voice. As much as Wendy tried, she couldn't control her body movements sometimes. 

"Unnie?" You grumbled, opening your eyes slightly while snuggling into her even more. 

"Eli-ah?" Wendy cut what her member was saying when she heard you. "Did I wake you up?" 

You nodded slightly, "Kind of." 

"See? You woke her up," Wendy couldn't help but scold her members. The fans who were watching could only let out their smile and reactions through the comment section so when this was happening, the comment section was buzzing like crazy. 

"Who's on the phone?"

Wendy sighed, "Joohyun-unnie, Seulgi, and Sooyoung. They called to see if I want to join in their Instagram Live." 

You couldn't help but furrow your eyebrows in confusion, "I didn't know they were going to have one." 

She chuckled seeing your expression, "I didn't either. You want to go? They're going to end it soon." 

You immediately sat up and went towards your suitcase to find more suitable clothes. "Let's go!" 

With that, Wendy let you get ready and went back to talking to the people on the other side of that call. "Well, wait for us then." 

They all squeal in excitement. 

Around five minutes after that call, Wendy and you knocked on the room's door and Seulgi was the one to greet you both. She immediately took you into her arms. 

"Still tired?" You only nodded in response. 

When you saw Irene, you immediately made a beeline towards her and just snuggled into her. This is what you always do when you're sleepy, honestly. 

The comment section buzzed with reaction again, seeing your cute interaction and Wendy's bare-faced beauty gracing the screen. 

"Still sleepy, huh?" Irene cooed, having you sit on her lap and hugging her like a child, even though you're much taller than her. 

You snuggled into her neck in response. 

After a while, she patted your back. "Say hi to the fans." 

You let go of her and went to sit beside her instead, giving a tired but genuine smile towards the phone. "Hello, everyone! Sorry, I just woke up." 

You didn't really care about your bare face, you usually only wear natural makeup anyways. 

In the meantime, Wendy was looking around for Joy. Turned out, she was hiding this whole time and when Wendy saw a lump at the end of the table, she knew it was her. She went to lift up the cloth and screamed, making you jump in surprise as well. 

"Well, that woke me up," you couldn't help but mutter, making Irene and Seulgi laughed. 

You interacted with the fans for a bit before Wendy was asked to end the session very formally, which made all of you laugh. This was the fun you needed.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the last chapter! To reply to a comment, I guess we're seeing a lot of her vulnerable side now, huh? That's because Eli's starting to accept them, not pushing her troubles away and asking her members for help when she knows she can :)

Hi, everyone! I'm sorry for being so absent these past few months or even a year. I've been dealing with a lot and every time I open a new chapter to write, I always lose the creativity T_T I'm so sorry. Recently, I've just lost an uncle who loved me very much and I've been dealing with the loss. Thank you for always reaching out to me and waiting for a new chapter, I promise I will try to write soon. I also apologise for not replying to your comments, the website is not allowing me to do so I'm not sure why so I just write it here. I really appreciate all of you and I hope we can be here enjoying the stories I write for a long time. Thank you and I hope I'll see you soon ❤️
