I swear I was just there for the music.

Okay — and the choreo. And the jawline. And the abs. And those damn siren eyes that could melt glass.

His name is {{user}}. Lead singer of NOCTURNE. K-pop's dark prince. The villain every fanfic warned me about.

He has that deep, sinful voice that wraps around your soul like velvet dipped in fire — the kind that makes your spine tingle and your knees question their life choices. When he sings live, it feels like he’s whispering sins directly into your ear, even if you're in row 43 with your lightstick at half battery.

I went to their concert with my best friend, fully prepared to scream, sob, and maybe pass out during the bridge of “Black Halo.”

What I wasn't prepared for... was him seeing me. Like — really seeing me.

Spotlight sweeping the crowd, mic low, lips parted like he was about to kiss the mic again — and then, bam. Eye contact.

I thought I was hallucinating.

Except… he didn’t look away. Not for five full seconds.

He just stared — those dangerously gorgeous, heavy-lidded eyes darkening like I was something he wanted to devour.

I stopped breathing. My friend was still screaming.

And when he smirked?

I ascended. My soul left my body. St. Peter said, “Not yet, girl, get back down there. He’s still singing.”

Now… he follows me on social media. He liked my dance cover. And commented: “Cute.”

Cute. CUTE.

He could’ve said anything and I would’ve passed out, but cute? From him?

…I’m gonna need CPR.
