Chapter Text
With a thumping heart filled with excitement, Reki clutched his camera while waiting for the group that he’s been following for almost a year. The newest group from S entertainment, a well-known entertainment who debuted lots of successful groups and one of them is SK8. Three-membered kpop group who managed to capture people’s heart despite the fact that they only got debuted, well that includes the heart of Reki. Even though it is a boy band, Reki still got caught and now here he is, holding a big ass camera, hoping to get a good picture of the member that got his attention for almost a year now. With his natural blue hair that despite of the comeback rule wherein idols needs to change their hair colour, he managed to keep his ocean like blue hair. Hasegawa Langa stage name Snow, the name that Reki will never get tired of hearing, the name of his only star.
With Langa’s cold demeanor just like a snow on a cold winter day, he instantly got popular among teenage girls and boys, like how bad boys and delinquent boys made their way to girl’s heart-heck not even girls. Just like the situation with Langa. Unlike the other two members, Langa built his idol personality with a cold, expressionless, and quiet nature. He was mysterious and never talkative with his life, not even his idol life so the fans only had this superficial information about him and yet he has the biggest fanbase among the members. No offense to the other two but even them knew about this and they just laugh off since it wasn’t that important-well according to Joe and Cherry, the other two, as long as fans will continue to support them as a group. Nevertheless, Langa became so famous to the point that he got Reki so captivated with him.
Back to the current situation, here he was, just like some creepy person who was waiting for SK8’s car outside the music show’s venue and steal a shot worth of posting in their fanbase and twitter accounts. He’s been waiting for almost three hours and his feet are starting to get numb but still he’s been patiently waiting, after all seeing the group will erase all the numbness that he’s feeling for a quite now.
Reki was adjusting his camera when he heard the scream of his co fans. They’re here. He thought and he immediately focused his lens on the black car that stopped in front of them. And after a few minutes Joe, the first member that got of the car instantly waved at them at the same time he gave the fans a wink that can steal the soul of the fans. That’s Joe. He loves fanservice the most and he loves to flirt with his fans. The first time Reki talked with Joe at a fansign, he even gave a quick peck on the album that Reki brought. His reason? Just because Reki is cute and that was the first time that Joe saw a fanboy. He even drew a small doodle of a person giving a finger heart at the signed album and gave him a wink. And of course, that single moment was on Reki’s mind for a whole month. Reki wanted to take a shot of Joe so he did. He took a few shots as a memory. The second member who got out is Cherry, real name is Kaoru. Unlike the grand entrance of Joe, he just waved a little and smiled. Just like what he did to Joe, Reki took a few shots of Cherry and promptly focused his whole attention and body on the last member who got out of the car.
Reki already saw him a hundred times, on their fansigning, debut stage, music shows, guesting, and yet for Reki, everytime was a first time. The very same feeling and the very same loud thumping of his heart were always present. Heck-it even get stronger every time he saw the guy. Blue hair that shines under the sun and the expressionless face that made his heart beat a faster than normal, everything were able to make Reki swoon. He focused his lens and took a many shots. Every move, every blink and every fleeting change of his posture, Reki managed to capture it all just like how Langa managed to capture every single part of Reki. He was willing to empty his camera’s memory for Snow, for his star.
He was focusing the camera once again when he saw something that made his world stop.
Langa was staring directly at his lens and Reki felt like he was staring right into his soul Without a smile, without anything written on his face but Reki was enticed, luckily he managed to capture that ephemeral moment. When he turned his look away from his lens to look at Langa, he saw that Langa and the other were long pass their places and is near at the venue’s entrance. He capture a few more moments and turned his attention once again at his camera.
The first thing that he examined was the picture wherein Langa was staring at him—no-staring at his camera. And yeah, he was right. Langa really was staring. Reki wanted to upload that picture right away so he fixed himself and his things and he left the venue. SK8’s event today was just a pre-recording and shot practice for their music show appearance tomorrow so fans weren’t allowed inside the venue. Fans will be allowed at the actual performance so he got nothing to do anymore. He wanted to wait for the end of the pre-recording but he will do the waiting at his friend’s café so he can use his laptop and connect to the free internet there.

“Reki you are here! Finished capturing that guy’s face?”
As soon as he step inside of the café, he was greeted by no other than his friend and owner, Miya. He was younger than him for a few years but Reki treat him as an equal of age.
“Hey, don’t call him ‘that guy’. He has a name. And his name is H—“
Miya cut him off
“Hasegawa Langa aka Snow aka the love of your life aka your star that you can’t reach. I know that already. Yeah yeah.
“Hey! I wasn;t even finish. You don’t even know if I am saying that.”
“So. What do you want to say other than that?”
“Well—“ Reki just smiled and Miya already knew what that smile meant.
“Heh. You told that thousands of time already to the point that I even memorized your disgusting expression when saying that.” And Miya proceeded to make unrecognizable face that even Reki thought of that as disgusting.
“I wasn’t making that face!” He defended himself.
“Yes you are!”
“I’m not”
“You are!”
“I’m not”
“You a—You know what? Let’s stop this. Connect to the internet and upload the pictures you needed to upload.”
“Oh.”

Reki opened his photoshop and edited his watermark on the pictures that he took. Yes, he is a fansite. They are the people, just like a paparazzi who follows their favourite celebrity anywhere to take pictures that they can share for the fans especially to those who weren’t able to see them, but unlike paparazzi, fansites respects their idol’s privacy and even help to report obsessed and stalker fans. Fansites are also the people who helps the agency or the group in terms of promoting and even giving the idols expensive gifts from their own money and Reki was proud to be a fansite. SK8 was just starting so the expenses wasn’t that much but he had to admit that he spent lots of money to follow them on their shows. And he can say that it was all worth it. Seeing his idols everyday, seeing their performance, the smiles and fanboy over them with other fans. He was lucky to have the privilege that most fans doesn’t have. So he will do his job properly and will upload high quality images of Snow, for him and for others.
As he was putting the watermark (his fansite name is GlisteningSnow), he can’t help but to admire Snow’s face. It really was elegant. His beauty wasn’t fitting for a creature in the Earth, it was even on terms on the beauty of Aphrodite—even more. Reki was lying if he wouldn’t admit that Langa’s face wasn’t the first thing that he notice, the first thing that got him to stan Langa, because it really was the thing that got him, but as time passed, he notice the passion that wasn’t visible if people won’t observe Snow. The passion that was hidden on his personality, the passion that was hidden on his beautiful orbs and the passion that made Reki fell in love--stan him. Langa wasn’t that expressive but Reki knew that Langa wanted this, wanted the path that he chose for himself. So Reki will do anything to support him and to bring him on top.
The first picture that he uploaded was the one where Langa was staring. After a long time of being his fansite, this was the first time that Langa made an eye contact with his camera lense so he will treasure and share this to fans. After a few minutes of uploading the picture, he already got hundred of retweets and likes. That really shows how famous the group, and how famous Langa is.

After a few hours of waiting, the pre-recording came to its end. As usual, Reki was already on his spot and his camera was ready as Reki. He’s going to see Langa again and he can’t wait for that moment. And yet he wasn’t expecting what disaster will come on his life.
A group of fans suddenly started to crowd the group as soon as they went out of the venue. They mobbed them and the fans that were quietly waiting for SK8 were dragged into the mess and that included Reki. No-the group will be hurt, Langa, Joe, Cherry---
Reki wanted to get out but he can’t. They were overpowered by these ‘fans’ and he can’t slip his way away from them. His clutched his camera on his chest to protect it and he heard the security saying things. He can’t even see the members but Reki was sure that they were suffering. Joe has a big muscular body and Reki knew that he won’t even use that to shoo the fans away, he was a flirt but he has this soft spot for the fans. And Langa…
“Langa!”
Reki can’t even hear his own scream of Langa’s name. All he wanted to do was to protect Langa, was to him safe, but what can he do? His body wasn’t that built, it was even small and his height can even compete on the built of his body. And the next thing he knew, the lanyard of his camera get strangled on somewhere and he was being dragged to God knows where.
--
“Huh?”
Wait a minute.
Blue hair.
“Eh?”
White skin.
Snow.
Langa.
Reki mind was blank. All he could ever think of was the person in front and it wasn’t just a person. The same reaction as him, both bewildered and confused.
What in the freaking cliché hell is this situation?
