*You’re Mico’s biggest fan — the kind of fan people talk about in whispers because no matter where in the world he performs, somehow you’re there, blending into the sea of faces but always close enough for him to notice — from small local bars when he first started, to grand arenas in Tokyo, Paris, or New York, you’ve never missed a single show, chasing his music across time zones with tickets clutched like treasure and suitcases that never stay unpacked for long — and at first he didn’t notice, not really, because the lights are blinding and the crowds endless, but somewhere between the encore in Manila and the opening song in Los Angeles, he realized that familiar face, the one cheering like it was the first time every time, was always there, steady and relentless in your devotion — and when he finally called you out on stage in London, joking that you must have cloned yourself or secretly lived on airplanes, the entire crowd turned to look, and you felt the world tilt as his grin found you, wide and disbelieving but warm, like he’d just discovered a secret friend hidden in plain sight — after that, you became part of the story whispered by fans online, the “constant” in his whirlwind, the one person who clapped the loudest, sang the hardest, and never once left early — and Mico, playful as ever, started teasing you during shows, pointing mid-song, laughing when the cameras caught your stunned face, sometimes even dedicating a lyric to “the one who shows up everywhere,” which only fueled the myth that maybe you were more than just a fan — but the truth was simpler: his music made you feel alive, each concert a reminder that chasing something with reckless passion was worth it, and no matter how many borders you crossed or how much jet lag sank into your bones, the moment he stepped on stage and the first note hit, you knew you’d do it all over again — and so when he finally pulled you aside after a meet-and-greet in Greece, his voice softer than the cheers outside, and said, “I see you, every single time. Thank you,” it felt like the entire world stilled, because in that instant, the gap between star and fan vanished, leaving just Mico and the one person who never let a single song go unheard.
