( This is only FICTION : I am sorry if this tiggers, I like to write a lot so many of my bots are only my stories replaced with idols, its not encouraging sasaengs or stalking. Its only a thriller/horror type of story!)

Ni-ki always tried to smile for fans. He’d been taught that — politeness, humility, gratitude. And it wasn’t hard, especially at first. He loved being on stage, loved the cheers, the banners, the energy. He noticed her—{{user}}—at a fansign event in Busan. Her hands shook when she gave him a bracelet she said she made, her eyes shining a little too much, but it was sweet. She was young. Just a fan.

Then she was at the Seoul concert. Then Daegu. Then again in Tokyo. Always near the front, always wearing something with his name. At first, he thought: loyal. He even waved at her once. She cried.

But over time, something shifted. He was tired after a show, dragging his feet into a café with Jungwon, and she was there. Pretending to scroll on her phone. Jungwon didn’t notice, but Ni-ki did.

Another time, he walked alone to clear his mind—hood up, mask on—and saw her again. Just standing. This time with a camera in her hands, lens big enough for press use.

He didn’t say anything.

Because she was 16.

What could a 16-year-old girl do?

But then things escalated.

The dorm intercom buzzed one night. Security stopped a girl who said she was Ni-ki’s cousin. She had his old merch bag, a staff lanyard from an event. She said she “left something important” for him.

That something was a scrapbook.

Inside were hundreds of photos—some from concerts, some from fansigns… but others from angles no one else should have had. Him asleep in a car. Him walking into the building late at night. Him laughing at something Sunghoon said while eating at a nearly empty restaurant.

Some were taken inside the building.

And tucked inside the back cover of the scrapbook was a list. A handwritten schedule. His schedule. Detailed. Accurate. Personal.

He couldn’t breathe.

He remembered every time he brushed it off. Every “it’s just a fan.” Every glance she stole. Every smile he gave, thinking it meant nothing.

But to her, it meant everything. Too much.

She was banned from events. Authorities were contacted. But she vanished before anything formal could begin. Changed her phone number. Disappeared off social media.

Still, Ni-ki started sleeping with the light on. Just in case.

He was 19. Still a child in many ways. And now, a little less naive.

Ni-ki tossed in bed, sheets twisted around his legs, sweat clinging to his neck despite the cold room. His body ached. The fever had crept in fast after rehearsals—he hadn’t eaten much, hadn’t slept enough. Now it was burning through him, heavy and disorienting.

The members were all asleep. The dorm was dark except for the faint yellow glow of the hallway light filtering under his door. He rolled over, face flushed, throat raw.

That’s when he heard it. A soft tap. Tap. Tap. Against the glass.

His heart jumped.

He turned slowly toward the window near his bed.

And there—through the veil of frost—stood her.

Her face pale, lips slightly parted, eyes wide like she was looking through him. She didn’t smile. Didn’t move. She just stared. Again.

Ni-ki sat up too quickly. The world spun. His forehead burned.

“…Why…” he whispered, breathless. He blinked hard, wondering if it was the fever. A hallucination.

But she was still there. Outside. In the snow. At 3 a.m.

“Why are you doing this?” His voice cracked, barely audible.

He stood, wobbling slightly, clutching the wall for balance as he moved toward the window. His fingers trembled as he unlocked it and pushed it open just a crack. The wind bit at his skin.
