Prologue

Lee Sol-a

Fans

The huge army supports their favorite people, such as celebrities, singers, rappers, and especially idols. Some people have their own tastes; it could be Western songs, Pinoy songs, Japanese songs, Chinese songs, or even Korean songs. Mostly, some teenagers like K-pop and anime.

Take the example of the boy band BTS; they have many fans around the world. They were nothing at the start until they reached their goals because of their fans who continued supporting them. However, I am not an ARMY; I just got inspired by their music.

Fans can also fall in love with their favorite person, even though this person they support never knows them. So, fans remain fans with their feelings inside their hearts, full of love and support. Of course, I am one of those fans.

When I was 15 years old, there was this young boy who was 4 years older than me; he was 18 years old and auditioned to be an idol. No one noticed him because he was a rookie.

He kept getting rejected by other companies due to a lack of talent, but still, he kept trying just to be an idol until he was at a small company that lacked equipment for his solo work and dance. He was able to audition and was accepted by this small company.

Despite having a hard time recording his song, he was able to release his first solo, but everyone threw hate at him because it was not very good. Some of them made fun of it, but he didn't seem to be bothered by the hate he received.

He keeps going and going until his solo was awarded as the best solo album of the year and the best album of the year. It was successful, but everyone wants to bring him down by hating him, spreading rumors about him, creating fake stories about him, and sending death threats. However, none of these tactics work on him because he said in an interview, "Hate me more, hate me however you want. It won't bother me because, for me, haters are the stupidest and dumbest people on earth I have ever seen."

Everyone was shocked and surprised by his response. I mean, he was a rookie, and they expected him to be more innocent and not dare to say something that would make him feel like a villain. Instead, he gives them a cold and dark response. Whenever haters bash him, he just doesn't reply or responds with some of his savage words.

But even though he has a lot of hate, there was one person who kept supporting him from his auditions until he debuted and released his solo album, and until the entertainment company announced that Kim Eun-Ki is officially their first solo artist.

I will tell you a secret: from the start, I always supported him. I even sent him some letters day by day, and as he achieved more and more, I continued to send him letters. I was the first one to send them to him. At that time, no one was supporting him, and no one was sending him letters.

Everyone calls me a crazy nerd because I keep supporting the man that they call "just a nobody" and "failure boy."

But those words were proven wrong by Eun-Ki when he said, "I'll show it to you as my best revenge," and he did.

"Mom! I'm going now!" My name is Lee Sol-a, and I am Kim Eun-Ki's fan. I have been his secret supporter since his debut until now. "Make sure to come back home after the concert, and don't forget to bring water with you!" "I will!" It took Eun-Ki 2 years for some people to start understanding and loving his music even more, and for 5 years, he has been a successful idol.

He is also famous around the world and has earned millions of Korean won because of his career. Fan girls are everywhere, so it's hard for me to send him as many letters as I used to.

(Now playing: SHOUT OUT

Song by ENHYPEN)

*English Translation from Google*

Intro...

We go and shout, yeah-eh

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Living each day as if swept away

A small question arose

I'm getting tired of all kinds of people talking

Who on earth defines me?

The false paradigm that trapped me

Beyond the border line someone drew

I shout out and this is my shout out

For me, down for me

8:30pm

"Taxi!" The taxi pulls over and I get in "Where to ma'am?"

Do whatever you want (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

This is our own universe

Without even paying attention (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Just this moment of freedom, you and me (hey)

We go and shout, shout, shout when we're together

Three, two, one, shout out loud

Voices growing as one

My heart is beating like it's going to explode

Shout, shout, shout, you and me

Shake the world, make it louder (hey)

I shout out my heart for you

Shout out warmly

The taxi drives 2 kilometers at my destination while I listened to SHOUT OUT song from ENHYPEN

If I were alone, I would have given up

Trapped by the wall that trapped me

your voice calling me

You're blowing up my heart, uh, bang, bang

Each other's witnesses yeah, you and I-I

We believe in each other as listeners.

Our perfect harmony

It's really beautiful

Do whatever you want (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

8:50pm

Not far away, I could already see a light coming from the Dream Concert. I smiled to myself as I was going to Eun-Ki's live concert for the umpteenth time.

Just this moment of freedom, you and me (hey)

We go and shout, shout, shout when we're together

Three, two, one, shout out loud

Voices growing as one

My heart is beating like it's going to explode

Shout, shout, shout, you and me

Shake the world, make it louder

I shout out my heart for you

Shout out warmly (hey)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (shout)

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh (hey)

Shout together to the world

We shout out louder

.....

9:01pm

"Here you go, sir! Thank you!" I said with a huge smile on my face, feeling a rush of excitement inside me. I got out of the taxi and closed the door before running inside.

*crowd fans cheering, shouting*

I tell you my truth with my real voice

The world is beautiful when we are together

Spreading and spreading further and further

I run inside and let my ticket be checked before they let me in. I breathe heavily, and the fans start to chant his name:

"EUN-KI! EUN-KI! EUN-KI!" Fans chant his name as the lights from the light stick glow with different colors.

Now shout, shout, shout

'Til the e-end of time, the story of you and I

We go and shout, shout, shout when we're together

Stay, stay, stay, you make it better (yeah)

My life without you is a misery

My heart is beating like it's going to explode

Shout, shout, shout, you and me

Shake the world, make it louder

I shout out my heart for you

Shout out warmly

I let out my light stick to join the colorful ocean waves. I smile and chant together with the fans until everything becomes dark...

And there, we saw Eun-ki coming out together with his backup dancers.

Oh-oh-oh-oh (shout)

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

Shout together to the world

We shout out louder

Oh-oh-oh-oh (shout)

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

Shout together to the world

We shout out louder

Fans are screaming at the top of their lungs to see Eun-Ki performing at his concert. I smile warmly at him on the stage, even though I didn't get the VIP pass to take a closer look at him.

I can still admire him from this seat that is far away, just like I admire and wait for him to be a successful solo artist.

I am Lee Sol-a, and this is my fantasy love story with an idol, my Oppa, a Mafia, and my first love, Kim Eun-Ki.
