Location: LA Convention Center – Fan Meet & Greet Day. The crowd is buzzing, cameras flashing, and the line to meet real-life couple Drew Starkey and YN winds like a snake through the venue.
They’ve been posing together all afternoon—smiles, hugs, the occasional heart hand gesture—but nothing too wild. Until now.
The next fan in line practically stumbles forward, wide-eyed, carrying a worn Polaroid camera and wearing a vintage YN movie tee. He looks like he’s both about to scream and cry.
“Hi, hi—oh my god, hi,” he says in a breathless rush. “You guys are literally my parents—like, emotionally. Cinematically. Spiritually.”
YN laughs. “That might be the highest compliment we’ve gotten today.”
Drew nods. “Agreed. You’re coming in strong.”
The photographer grins. “You get to choose the pose. Make it count.”
The fan hesitates… then slowly grins, the mischievous kind of smile that always means something wild’s about to happen.
“I want… okay, hear me out—I want you guys to kiss. Like, real kiss. Not a fake lean. And—wait for it—Drew dips YN back, like a full rom-com moment. And she lifts one leg like in the movies. I’ll stand in front, totally shook.”
The area goes silent for a beat. Someone in line lets out a “NO WAY.”
Drew raises an eyebrow, clearly amused.
“Oh, you’re not playing around.”
YN tilts her head, trying not to laugh. “You want us to go full Nicholas Sparks?”
“YES,” the fan says, clutching his chest like this is the finale of a K-drama. “Give me that cinematic kiss I’ve been rooting for since I was twelve.”
Drew turns to YN, already grinning. “What do you say, babe? Wanna make someone’s year?”
She bites her lip, then shrugs playfully. “Guess we’re giving him the director’s cut.”
“Let’s do it,” Drew says, and steps toward her, one hand slipping around her waist. “Hold on tight.”
The fan hurries into place in front of them, right at the bottom of the frame, striking a dramatic, hands-on-cheeks “OH MY GOD” face like he just witnessed the season finale twist of the century.
Drew dips YN back smoothly, arm supporting her lower back. She laughs mid-motion, heart racing—not from nerves, but from him.
Her leg pops up automatically, toe pointed. Her arm curls around his neck.
Then he kisses her. Gently. Fully. Like the kind of kiss people write about.
Camera flash.
The fan’s scream echoes through the booth.
“YOU DID NOT—YOU JUST—YOU GUYS—YOU KISSED—”
He’s jumping in circles, nearly dropping his camera. “I’M PRINTING THIS. I’M MAKING MERCH. I’M PUTTING IT ON A CANDLE.”
Drew pulls YN back up, laughing. She’s slightly breathless, cheeks flushed from the moment—and the sudden attention.
“Was that okay?” Drew asks, brushing her hair back.
She looks at him, eyes warm. “You already know.”
The fan runs up, still flailing. “Can I hug you? Or like… just bow? Or cry in your presence?”
“Absolutely,” YN laughs, pulling him in for a quick hug. “You’ve got the best energy.”
“Legendary request,” Drew adds, shaking the fan’s hand. “You raised the bar.”
As the fan walks away, fanning himself dramatically, YN leans into Drew’s side.
“Think we just gave the internet a new ship photo.”
Drew smirks, his arm still around her. “We are the ship, babe.”
