Love In The Spotlight~ YEONBIN FF

As Soobin arrived outside Beomgyu's audition room, he found his friend beaming with excitement. Beomgyu had already finished his audition and was eager to share the news.

"Hyung, it went amazingly well!" Beomgyu exclaimed, wrapping Soobin in a tight hug. "I'm really hopeful this time."

Soobin smiled warmly, patting Beomgyu's shoulder. "I'm thrilled for you, Gyu. You've worked so hard."

Beomgyu's gaze then shifted to the paper in Soobin's hand. "What's that?" he asked, curiosity sparking in his eyes.

Soobin chuckled. "You won't believe what just happened. I met this really strange guy. He initially accused me of spying on him, thinking I was from a media house."

Beomgyu's eyebrows rose in surprise.

"So, what happened next?" Beomgyu asked, taking the paper from Soobin.

"He took my phone, snapped a selfie, and even gave me an autograph," Soobin explained, shaking his head in amusement.

Beomgyu's eyes widened as he examined the paper. "Whoa, this is Choi Yeonjun's autograph! And the selfie... you're standing next to a K-pop star!"

Soobin shrugged. "I had no idea who he was. He seemed really frustrated, but then his mood changed, and he became friendly."

Beomgyu grinned. "Only you could get accused of spying and end up with a K-pop star's autograph!"

"So, you're a fan of his music?" Soobin asked, intrigued.

Beomgyu's eyes sparkled. "Fan? Hyung, Choi Yeonjun is a dance icon! His movements are pure magic. Choreographing for him would be a dream come true."

Beomgyu's enthusiasm was contagious, and Soobin couldn't help but smile.

"I've always admired how effortlessly he dances," Beomgyu continued. "His passion and energy are infectious. My ultimate goal is to create stunning choreography for his music videos."

Soobin's eyes widened in surprise. "You're really inspired by him, aren't you?"

Beomgyu nodded vigorously. "Inspired isn't even the word, Hyung. He's the reason I'm pursuing choreography. Can I please, please keep this autograph?" Beomgyu requested, his hands reaching out eagerly.

Soobin handed over the paper, chuckling. "It's yours, Gyu. I'm glad it means so much to you."

Beomgyu carefully took the autograph, his face lighting up. "Thank you, Hyung! This is amazing!"

"He's absolutely charming, Hyung," Beomgyu gushed. "Choi Yeonjun is truly the Nation's Sweetheart. Everyone adores him."

Soobin raised an eyebrow. "You're really sold on him, aren't you?"

Beomgyu nodded enthusiastically. "And it's not just me! He's everywhere - billboards, TV, and even on your favorite ice cream wrapper!"

Soobin chuckled. "You think I have time to admire ice cream wrappers? Even if I did, it wasn't something important to remember."

Beomgyu playfully rolled his eyes. "You're missing out, Hyung! That face is iconic."

As they walked to the bus stop, Beomgyu couldn't contain his excitement. "I still can't believe you met him! What was he like in person?"

Soobin smiled wryly. "Intense, then surprisingly friendly. But I had no idea who he was."

Beomgyu grinned. "Well, now you know. And I'm going to make sure you remember him."

At the bus stop, they settled in to wait, Beomgyu still bubbling with enthusiasm about Choi Yeonjun.

During the bus ride, Beomgyu enthusiastically showcased Choi Yeonjun's music videos on his phone, playing one after another. Soobin was immersed in Yeonjun's captivating performances, watching four to five videos until Beomgyu's stop arrived.

As Beomgyu disembarked, he grinned at Soobin. "Now you see why I'm obsessed, right?"

Soobin chuckled. "You've made your point, Gyu. I'll remember Choi Yeonjun."

Soobin continued his journey, getting off three stops later. Walking home, he craved a sweet treat and detoured to the local department store.

Inside, he headed straight to the ice cream section and picked up his favorite flavor. As he checked out, Soobin's gaze fell upon the ice cream wrapper - Choi Yeonjun's face stared back at him.

Amused, Soobin thought, "The same guy who accused me of spying, took a selfie with me, and now he's on my ice cream wrapper?"

He snapped a photo of the wrapper and sent it to Beomgyu with a caption: " Found your Nation's Sweetheart."

Soobin chuckled, shaking his head, and continued home, ice cream in hand, pondering the unexpected encounters with Choi Yeonjun.

As time went by, Soobin began to notice Choi Yeonjun's omnipresent image - on candy packets, cheese ball bags, TV screens, and even bus advertisements. Yeonjun's face seemed to follow him everywhere.

Initially, Soobin found it amusing, but soon, he discovered himself drawn to Yeonjun's music videos. Watching Yeonjun dance brought Soobin a sense of liberation; the fluidity of Yeonjun's movements mesmerized him. Soobin yearned to embody that same freedom when he performed.

At night, after exhausting delivery shifts, Soobin would sit on benches, Yeonjun's melodies playing in his headphones. The music became his solace, transporting him to a world where worries dissolved.

Yeonjun's dancing had become Soobin's escapism, inspiring him to unleash his own creativity. As he watched Yeonjun's performances, Soobin felt an awakening, a desire to break free from his constraints and express himself with the same unbridled passion.

Unbeknownst to Beomgyu, Soobin had become a quiet fan of Choi Yeonjun, finding inspiration in the Nation's Sweetheart's captivating artistry.
