Idol of the Heavenly One - Chapter 108.2
“Let’s take a photo together.”
“Ah!”
“Are you crazy, Myeong-hyeon…!”
When I suggested taking a selfie with our masks off, they were shy but clearly thrilled as they pulled out their phones. We took selfies one by one with everyone’s phones, then smiled and returned to our seats. This was the kind of fan service that was only possible because there were just two fans.
“What are you doing?”
“Why?”
“You are not supposed to pour it into that cup.”
“Huh?”
But Baek Jae-heon had poured coffee into the cup we received as a special benefit. Both of them, lined up neatly. I was so dumbfounded that I was left speechless. That cup was also one of the special benefits. Seeing my expression, a flustered Baek Jae-heon asked if that was not how it was supposed to be. Then, from behind us, I heard the fans whisper, “Oh my god,” and, “But is not that Baek Jae-heon?”
I turned around with a distressed expression and said, “Yes, this really is Baek Jae-heon,” and another scream erupted.
It was both ridiculous and funny what Baek Jae-heon had done, so I took a picture of it. He looked at me with eyes that still did not understand what he had done wrong, which somehow made him even cuter.
“Um, th this…”
At that moment, the fans behind us brought over two new cups and handed them to me.
“Huh? You bought more?”
When I pulled out my wallet, saying I would pay instead, the fans spoke with awkward expressions.
“We are the ones who opened the café…”
“Really?”
I had not expected to meet the people who organized the café, so I looked at them again in surprise. They looked like they were only in their mid to late twenties. How did they manage something like this?
“You both look young. Do you both work?”
“We do…!”
“Yes…!”
“Did you take leave? For two days?”
“Yes…!”
“Yes! We used our annual leave…!”
Not only did they use their precious leave, they even saved their salaries to open a café for me. I felt both proud and happy. Without thinking, I let out a quiet, “Oh no…” and reached out to pat both of their backs. The two of them immediately yelped again and jumped away from me. I laughed, then told Baek Jae-heon it was time to get up. He stood up blankly, holding the cup full of coffee, while I gathered the special benefits and the new cups. After greeting the fans, we left the café. Since there were more than ten cafés to visit, we had to move quickly.
In the end, the birthday café tour ended after only three stops. On the real time communication app, eyewitness accounts saying that Baek Jae-heon and I had appeared at birthday cafés started pouring in one after another. As soon as we exited the third café, I saw that the crowd had multiplied more than fourfold. I bowed my head and quickly expressed my thanks, then got into a taxi and left Hongdae.
It was a shame that I could not visit the rest, but even so, I was able to glimpse the affection fans had for me at those three cafés. Every photo of me that was displayed felt carefully chosen, filled with love, and the special benefits were all so cute and lovely. I scrolled through the photos I had taken of the café interiors and the special benefits on my phone, one by one. Then I saw a particular photo and burst out laughing.
A cup filled to the brim with coffee.
“I cannot be the only one who sees this.”
Giggling, I opened the fan communication app, Universe, and wrote a post.
