Chapter Text
YOUR POV
You don't know what's gotten into you.
You have never been like this with your previous fandoms.
Now, all your money and free time goes to Seventeen, a K-Pop group you recently discovered through your roommate's continuous nagging.
Now, you've been stanning one of their leaders, Hoshi.
He's in charge of the group's choreography and they were all so lit.
Of course, you can't disregard the fact that he's so cute, he looks like a hamster off stage, but he seems to transform into a different person on stage.
Your tweets and timeline are always filled with him and the other members.
Mostly him though.
Your layout, display picture, and header all screams Hoshi!
You even joined the Carats' Campfire Singing Contest for the hopes of them/him seeing you.
You also availed the subscription for V Live Ch+ to get more content.
You even posted your love for him on it.
You post without regarding whoever sees them.
You didn't know things would blow up like this...

HOSHI's POV
You were so slumped with the new choreography.
You didn't know what would look good.
With the comeback coming in two months, you needed to get this done now so that there'd be time for you to rehearse.
However, the pressure makes your mind more confused.
You were so engrossed in your own thoughts, you barely heard Dino calling you.
"Hyung! Hyung! Someone posted about you on V Live!"
You didn't know what to feel.
This could be anything but you were shocked because right when you needed a boost, this came.
You were not really in the zone so you lazily got your phone to check.
Although you weren’t in the mood, you were desperate for something to lift your spirit up.
Carats are usually the ones who could give you the energy and motivation to get back to work.
You were hopeful!
However, this one felt a little different cause the timing is just on point!
Then, you see it!
"Saranghae, Hoshi!"
You don't know why you felt more touched than usual because you hear this from carats all the time.
Maybe it has something to do with the timing?
Just when you needed the boost, she was there!
You clicked on the profile, curious.
Hmmm.
You didn't know why but she seems familiar.
She's pretty too.
Before you knew it, you were typing away on the CH+ chat.
"Guys… have you looked up? The sky… it's really pretty hh...
But carats are prettier."
You smiled to yourself, barely containing your feels while rereading what you just posted.
Your smile turned into a burst of laughter.
"AH, kamjagiya! Hyung! Why are you laughing all of a sudden?"
You answered Dino with more laughter.
You were suddenly back to high spirits.
You kind of liked this carat.
Dino seemed to have checked his phone already.
"Wahhh! Hyung! Is this about that carat who posted about you? Ah, jinjja! This hyung!"
You see him shaking his head but trying to contain a smile too.
You went back to work and finished the choreography for your February comeback song.
You informed the members that rehearsals will start tomorrow.
------
Tired from finalizing the formations and choreography last night, you woke up a bit late.
When you got to the practice room, the members were already there.
You see Dino and Vernon looking at Dino’s phone.
They suddenly look up when you entered.
“Wahh! Hyung! Look! This girl really tweets about you every day!”
“Her twitter is full of you Hyung! Wahh!”
Both dongsaengs tell you suddenly, shaking their heads.
You were confused about what they were talking about at first.
Then it hit you!
“Yah! Chan! You told Hansol?!”
“Hyung, we all knew even if Chan didn’t tell us! You were kind of obvious in the V Live Chat!”
Then Jihoon butted in.
“We all checked her profile while waiting for you. The choreography came really fast this time so we all got curious.”
Even Jihoon was in on this?!
“Whatever. Let’s just start practicing.”
Rehearsals went well throughout the day but you can’t take your mind off what they told you.
You haven’t personally checked that carat’s twitter but Hansol and Chan said it was all about you.
You’re sure there are a lot of carats who post about you and the other members as well.
However, this one, even Jihoon checked her account.
All of the members have checked, haven’t they?
So it wouldn’t be a problem if you did too, right?
Nothing’s wrong with that, right?
They’ve all done it anyway.
You typed in the username you saw from Chan’s phone.
When you hit enter, you were immediately bombarded with photos of you and tweets about you.
So am I this carat’s favorite member?
Hmmm.
Maybe?
Why though?
-----
“Hyung! Don’t tell me you’re checking her profile again?”
You were surprised to find Chan leaning over your shoulder while you were holding your phone.
You’re in the practice room and are currently on water break.
You didn’t know how it happened but it became a habit for you to check her twitter whenever you have the time.
It’s interesting for you.
She’s interesting for you.
It’s like you’re getting to know someone you haven’t met and talked to yet.
She tweets a lot about what she’s doing, the things she likes, the things she doesn’t like, and a lot more.
She also mentions Seventeen’s twitter account a lot.
You haven’t talked to her directly because of course you can’t.
The whole world will lose it.
However, it seems as if you have because of the things you learn about her every day.
“She changed her layout again today.”
When you checked her profile, her display photo was that of Coups-hyung and not yours.
You two aren’t anything but you can’t hide the fact that it saddens you whenever she changes her display photo into one of the other members’.
She’s been tweeting about something but you don’t know what about because it was in her language.
“She’s the same nationality as one of our PD-nims, right? Why don’t you ask her to translate some of that girl’s tweets.”
Just then, that PD-nim came into the room with your refreshments.
When she gave you your drink, you pulled her aside for a bit.
“Noona, can you help me with something?”
“Sure. What is it?”
“It’s kind of a secret so I’d appreciate it if you don’t tell the others.”
“Hoshi, you’re scaring me. This isn’t like you. What’s this about?”
“Can you translate this for me?”
She looks at you, confused.
Then, she looked like she understood.
“Well, she says that she was jealous of this fan site because you always look at her. She’s not angry. She’s just jealous or something. I don’t know how to translate it but it’s called tampo in our language. She’ll probably get over it or you soon.”
“Yah! Noonaaaa!”
“I’m kidding. Just give it a few days. It’ll pass.”
The next day, you had a schedule and you saw that fan site there.
You remember what the PD-nim told you.
You felt bad for the fan site but you really couldn’t look at her.
You tried a few times but whenever the girl’s tweets come into your mind, you feel bad again.
The following day, you tried to check her profile again.
You were shocked to see your face on her icon.
What happened?
You don’t understand but it made you happy so you left it as it is.
It went a lot like a rollercoaster for you.
She would change her layout and then change it back.
Every time she changes it, you feel down.
You try to post photos, send messages on the V Live chat, or whatever just to get her attention.
Then she changes her layout back and you’re okay again.
It’s like you’re on a relationship but only you knew, and she didn’t.
You wondered if this is what carats feel about you and the members.
Chan and Hansol have noticed your change in mood these past few weeks.
“Hyung! Have you checked her profile today?”
“Yeah, hyung! She’s been tweeting a lot about takoyaki!”
“Chan, let’s buy takoyaki?”
“Yeah, let’s!”
Then, they were already out of the hotel.
You laughed at your two dongsaengs trying to tease you.
You are in Japan so buying takoyaki wouldn’t be difficult.
They were back within minutes.
“Hyung! Wanna do a live with us?”
Then, Chan opened the V Live immediately.
They were all talking about random things like the Japan concert.
Then, Chan looked at you.
“Since we are in Osaka, Japan, what is famous in Osaka?”
“Takoyaki?”
“That’s right!”
“Oh, it’s famous for takoyaki?”
“Yes. I thought sharing takoyaki might be nice.”
“Yes, I think that’s a good idea.”
Then you guys started to eat the takoyaki.
At first, you didn’t want to but when Hansol said it was good, you got curious too.
Then Chan pretended to read a comment but really they were just trying to tease you.
“I had takoyaki today too.” –Chan
“Who?” –Hansol
“This is destiny. Even if we are apart.” –Chan
“I think you could just say it’s a coincidence.” –Hansol
Aish. These two!
HAHAHAHAHA.
“Just leave it as it is.” –Hoshi
“Destiny might be an exaggeration… It is destiny.” –Chan
The live went on like that.
My mood was lifted.
I wish we would be able to meet carats soon.
I wish I’d at least get to see her in person.
Would she attend the concert? Probably.
Would I see her? I guess it would be hard unless she’d get the VIP ticket.

YOUR POV
You have been waiting so long to attend a Seventeen concert!
You became a fan right after Diamond Edge so it was kind of a long wait.
Now, you’re finally lined up for the hi-touch privilege.
You have been tweeting about meeting Kwon Soonyoung and today is the day.
You came to the venue hours earlier.
You gave out freebies with your friends.
You collected freebies from other fans.
You’ve been having a blast.
Finally, it was time for your turn at the hi-touch.
You were so elated.
When you were in front of Soonyoung, your smile couldn’t be removed from your face.
However, the next thing left you frozen.
“Y/N, I see you’ve changed your hair.”
