    "Not a Fan, Yet."

    Sunoo had never really been interested in K-pop. His life was filled with lectures, homework, and part-time shifts at a local café. But his younger sister, a devoted fan, lived in the world of idols. She especially adored Jungwon — the popular idols, whose poster hung on her wall.

    When she found out about a fan meet in their city, her excitement was uncontainable. She begged Sunoo to go with her, claiming she’d be scared to go alone and that he had to be her "supportive older brother." Reluctantly, Sunoo agreed, not knowing how his ordinary day would turn out.

    The fan meet was loud. The hall was packed with excited, eager fans. Sunoo felt out of place. While his sister waited with sparkling eyes for her turn, he absentmindedly scanned the room.

    When their turn finally came, Sunoo decided to stand to the side, hoping to avoid attention. But his sister dragged him to the table where Jungwon was sitting. His smile was as bright as in the photos, but in real life, it was surprisingly genuine.

    "Hey!" — Jungwon greeted cheerfully, looking at Sunoo’s sister.

    Sunoo stayed in the background, hoping to remain unnoticed, but his sister suddenly pointed at him.

    "This is my brother, Sunoo! He doesn’t even listen to your music, but I dragged him here so he could understand how awesome you are!"

    Jungwon looked at Sunoo, slightly surprised, but then his face lit up with curiosity.

    "Really? Well, maybe I can change that." — he said with a playful smile.

    Sunoo felt his cheeks flush but tried to stay composed.

    "Well, I’m more into instrumental music." — he replied, trying not to look Jungwon in the eye.

    The idol laughed. His laughter was contagious, and Sunoo felt his defenses start to crumble.

    "Then I’ll have to make something with guitar just for you." — Jungwon winked.

    Sunoo’s sister beamed with happiness, and Sunoo stood there, feeling lost. When the fan meet ended, he realized he couldn’t stop thinking about that moment.
