95 – The thing called fandom

Even thinking about it again, it seems like a really awkward order to eat after coffee.

But what can I do, it was already lunch time when I arrived.

Thanks to that, we spent some time at the cafe and then headed to a nearby tteokbokki restaurant. There is a repertoire that I always visit when I stop by here, and one of them is a visit to this tteokbokki restaurant.

The reason why she wanted to hang out near Yunagi was because she remembered this tteokbokki restaurant from the beginning. Thanks to those words, we, who are always fighting over menus, were able to easily choose a menu today without much mediation.

Well, after going through a hard time as an idol, a friend I met for the first time in a while said, ‘I want to eat this!’, And in response, who could say, ‘Ah, that’s a bit weird.’ What kind of psychopath would there be?

In the first place, if there was no one among her who disliked tteokbokki, Yuna wouldn’t have even hinted at it. In that respect, consideration is a definite characteristic.

“There is no line? “Let’s go right in.”

“Oh, sure.”

When we all arrived in front of the store with its rather shabby sign and old-looking exterior, for some reason we couldn’t see a single ant.

Everyone opened their eyes in joy at this. That’s because the wait is always quite long when I come here. I endured that today as well, so why is this happening?

Grumble.

Shouting out loud, he barely opened the creaky sliding door as if he didn’t really welcome visitors and went inside. Then, familiar sights and smells welcomed us.

“Welcome, students. How many people are there?”

Next, the owner, who had a fairly generous figure.

Actually, I’m not the type of person who cares that much, but I really like the fact that the owner here doesn’t use informal language even with people who look young.

Nevertheless, it is surprising that it feels warm and friendly and is not hard. This is another reason why we became regulars at this store.

“The four of us.”

“Then go sit over there and I’ll bring you water and a menu. “Wait a moment.”

The owner pointed to an empty seat in a corner and busily took the food he was holding in his hand to another place. It looks pretty heavy, but it’s amazing that your expression doesn’t change even when you’re holding it.

As soon as I sat down, the part-time worker brought me cold water and a cup. When the four of us got together, the chores were my responsibility, so I naturally reached out and filled the cups with water one by one.

“There aren’t many people inside, are there?”

“I guess we were lucky. Or is it because it is past lunch time that all the customers who are missing have already left?”

“I guess so.”

While the women were looking around and chatting with each other, Choi Min-seong got up and said he wanted to go to the bathroom.

Thanks to that, I gently pushed the water cup into the empty space, and it felt strange because it felt like I was putting food on the ancestral rite table. When that bastard dies, he will definitely go to hell.

“What about the menu? “We’ll have to decide when Choi Min-seong comes, right?”

“Just decide between you two. “We eat just about anything anyway.”

If you say that with a look on your face that makes you want to eat tteokbokki right away, who will reply, ‘Okay, let’s wait.’ Probably, for Yuna now, 1 minute and 1 second is like 1 hour.

So, I handed over the menu decision-making power to the two people and gave them a shot of water. As expected, Yuna smiled brightly and immediately started browsing the menu.

Considering that Kim Soo-bin also slipped to the side, it seems like the decision-making power of today’s menu was completely left to Yuna. Since you’ve been here for a long time, it probably means that you can eat whatever you want.

“Okay, I decided. One with this, one with this….”

Unlike Yuna, who always worries about choosing a menu, she somehow finished thinking early today and filled out the order form.

There is nothing special about watching the numbers written one after another on the quantity display next to the menu name. Do you really plan on eating all of that?

“This isn’t enough, right? “Do you guys want to eat anything?”

Even after writing down this amount, you are the food fighter of this era who thinks, not ‘Wouldn’t it be too much?’ But ‘Wouldn’t it be enough?’

But if I tell this story, it’s clear that things will go crazy, so let’s bury it in our hearts. Anyway, it doesn’t seem like it’s lacking, absolutely.

“I think this is enough, so I pass.”

“I’m fine too. “When Minseong comes back, let’s ask him if there’s anything else we can order.”

“Is that so?”

Yuna seemed happy that all the menu choices she had made were accepted, and she smiled. If I somehow look happier than when I won first place on a music show, it’s probably because of my mood.

“Did you order everything?”

Choi Min-seong came back at just the right time, shaking his slightly wet hands and body.

Then Kim Soo-bin immediately showed Yuna her order sheet written by Yuna and said,

“Yes, I was waiting for you to make the final payment.”

“… To me? “I can just eat anything.”

A guy who calls a part-time worker without even looking at the order sheet he received from Kim Soo-bin, as if he wasn’t particularly interested.

“Yes, have you decided on the menu you want to order?”

“Yes, here. And could you please get me another bottle of water?”

“I’ll bring it to you right away, just give me a moment.”

The part-timer took the order form and handed it to the kitchen, then quickly ran to the refrigerator and brought a water bottle. We simultaneously exclaimed in exclamation at the quick and accurate response.

Wow, part-time work isn’t easy either.

“Hey, over there…. Right?”

“Yes, I think that’s right….”

“…… ?”

Feeling that way, I was looking around the scenery of the tteokbokki restaurant I visited after a long time, when I heard a voice that sounded like someone whispering from afar.

As I pretended to look toward the kitchen and cast my gaze diagonally, the two women started whispering more openly among themselves and staring somewhere. The direction the gaze was directed towards was none other than Yuna.

“… Ah.”

Only then did I guess the reason for the gaze, so I lifted her buttocks, which were close to Yuna’s all-in-one chair, and quietly widened the distance to the other side of her. Be very careful so that it doesn’t seem like you were acting too conscious of the other person.

“Huh? Why are you away? “Is it too narrow?”

“Oh, no…. “Nothing.”

Yuna noticed that and looked at me as if she was puzzled, so I had to go through quite a bit of trouble. It wasn’t easy to give an explanation while looking at what the other table thought.

Rattling.

At that moment, the two women stood up from their seats with the sound of a chair moving somewhat noisily on the opposite side of the seat. If you see that the pot on the table is completely empty, you must have finished your meal.

Yes, it’s okay up to that point. However, the direction in which he stands up and moves is a bit strange. Normally he would go to the counter to pay, but instead, he is clearly coming this way.

The counter is on the other side.

‘It’s coming.’

The cautiousness felt in one’s steps clearly indicates the other person’s next destination. Unlike the three people who were excited to talk among themselves, my back straightened up when I realized this.

As I was worried and didn’t know where to focus due to tension, the woman with the longer hair of the two people who came to the side of the table finally opened her mouth.

“Uh, over there…. Are you by any chance Yuna from Armo?”

“Ah, yes. That’s right. Hello.”

I wonder if this is the first time seeing a fan outside, and the way he manages his facial expressions and answers more skillfully than expected makes me think he’s a professional idol. I’m so embarrassed that I made a fuss on my own.

“You recognized me more than that?”

“How can you not recognize me… ! “I went to our music room too!”

“Wow, really? You are our biggest fan… ! Thank you!”

Judging by the fact that he came all the way to the broadcasting station to see the stage, it seems like he was a true fan and was so moved that he spoke to me, rather than someone who just knows his face and tries to say hello.

Yuna also felt that and looked quite touched. Meanwhile, Kim Soo-bin, who is sitting across from her and is happy as if it was his job, is impressive. I’m so moved that I’m going to cry, I’m going to cry.

“Would you like to take a picture together? Or not….”

Since ordinary people usually have similar requests when meeting celebrities, Yuna also tried to provide fan service to her by immediately asking for their requests. But here it turned out that the other person was really a big fan.

“Oh, no! “She came with her friends, but it was a bit of a bother, so I just wanted to say hello.”

“Hey, it’s okay. If you really want to, I’ll at least give you an autograph! “I’m still a rookie, but I’m still a top idol in my own right!”

Frown.

“Huh….”

When Yuna gave her wink, she let out an incomprehensible sound that made the two women lie down in pain.

Hey, even if I were a fan, I wouldn’t be able to avoid it. Even though they say it’s okay because they don’t want to be a nuisance, they’re still an idol who wants to do a fan service. I can’t help but stimulate my virtuous spirit.

In the end, the two, unable to resist Yuna’s bullying, took out Armo’s Her Debut album from their respective bags. Perhaps she didn’t expect even Yunara to see someone carrying this, and she looked quite surprised.

“Wow, you even carry an album with you. “Thank you so much.”

“We are more grateful. Thank you so much for coming down to earth….”

“Hey, be careful with your cooking. “You look uncomfortable, Yuna.”

“No, it’s really pretty, so what can I do…?” !”

Although it was cringe-worthy for all of us who watched Jinfan’s fight that lasted for a while, it was heartwarming and fun to watch.

Zech. Okay.

While the autograph and short message were being written on the album, a long-haired woman who had been watching for a moment quietly approached Yuna.

“By the way, is this your boyfriend?”

“Cough!”

Then, as if I was whispering, I lowered the volume as much as possible so that Yuna and the people around her could not hear. At the words, I inadvertently coughed loudly.

These days, why are there so many people around me who come in without turning on their blinkers?

“Hey, do you look like your boyfriend?”

Meanwhile, I don’t know what Yuna is jokingly asking since it wouldn’t hurt to deny it right away. If I do this wrong, won’t it be a disaster? Should I stop you even now?

“Yes, he’s so handsome that I thought, ‘I can give this to my youngest.’”

“And what if it’s your real boyfriend?”

“What if it’s your real boyfriend?”

The fan poured two more drinks towards Yuna, who poured another drink. She then looked at me, smiled with a variety of emotions, and spoke.

“As a fan, I want my idol to be happy.”

“That’s right, there are a lot of idols who are openly dating these days. Besides, when you’re nineteen, it’s time to start dating!”

Even the short-haired woman who countered with her words couldn’t be heard by those around her, and yet she shouted out words that were unclear as to whether they were true or not, in the most exasperated voice possible.

Yuna’s eyes went blank for a moment as she looked at it right in front of her, but then she smiled. She felt like she was going through a mix of emotions.

I think it was surprising in many ways that there was someone who sincerely wished for her happiness, even though she was a stranger to her. At least that’s how I am.

“Anyway, fighting! Cheer up!”

“I will work hard to support your next album as well!”

Two women walking backwards and leaving the store, clenching their fists.

Yuna, who had been watching her until the end, secretly turned her head towards me. For some reason, the look in her eyes made her feel like she was saying, ‘I’m not wrong,’ in a confident tone, which made her feel strange.
