10. Your #1 fan
...." Okay okay shall we stop running because if I remember it right the cops stopped chasing after as a while back.." I said as Kang ha stopped....and I suddenly bust into laughter while also trying to catch my breath..." What's wrong?" He asked..* That is the most fun I've had in a while...." I said as I continued laughing..." Ahh I don't want this day to end.." I added as I noticed we were still holding hands..." Iam hungry.." I added as I slowly pulled my hands away from his.." Let's grab a bite before we head back.." I said..." Well you in luck.. remember that time I told you that you have to try out Street night food....?" He asked.." Well yes..do they have it here?" I asked.." They do....." He replied as I cheered.." Then let's have that.." I replied.." Well let's make sure to head to the bus stop before 9...if Iam not mistaken the last bus takes off at 9." I said.." It's still 7...so let's go." I said to him as we went.
" Look at this place....!" I exclaimed.." is this even Xi Yan.." I added as I felt my mouth watering from all the delicious snacks around us.." I don't know what to try first.." I said as I looked around more.." Well that's why you have me...." He said as he led me to one stall.." Hey.." I said to the vendor..." I'll have two bowls of a mixture of noodles scrambled eggs and mist meat....make one spicy and the other not so much...give us two buns as well." He ordered as I pulled him to the side.." isn't that alot?" I asked.." it's a mixture Ofcourse he's going to give us little of everything...and trust me it's good..that's if they make it like they did back in Han city.." I said as we waited at our table....
" Here you go..." the vendor said as he placed our bowls Infront of us.." Thank you.." we both said as I started at my meal cautiously.." Have a bite.." he said as I picked up my chopsticks and had a little...and was shocked by how nice it tasted.." How is it?" He asked as I had more.." it's really tasty...." I said as he chuckled softly.." Told you....now to commemorate the first time you have had this...how about a picture?" He asked.." Of me?" I asked.." No of the vendor.. Ofcourse of you.." he said as I posed with my bowl and he took one..." Let me have a look?" I said as he handed the camera over to me.." This looks good..how about we take one together..?" I asked...." okay I'll come close.." he said as we took a picture.." This looks good was well.." he said as he showed me.." let's eat." He added as we continued to eat.

After our meal, we visited a few more stalls and had a bit of their snacks...." You really good at taking photos... atleast from what Iam seeing..have you ever considered becoming a photographer?" I asked.." Well yes..it's the reason why I learned from my mom.....but now Iam not so sure.." he replied.." Why?" I asked.." I don't know it's something I shared with her and doing without her feels a bit lacking...I guess.." he replied.." But you did it for me.." I replied.." That's because it's you....I'll do anything for you.." he said as I stared back at him and smiled.." Well I should consider my self lucky then.." I replied.." Well you are lucky.." he replied as we both chuckled.
While on the bus ride home, he seemed tired and sleepy and so I slowly placed my shoulder for him to sleep....and I couldn't help sneak looks at him as he did.....

I arrived home and cheerfully entered the house where I found my mind waiting for me.." You humming? Today must have been a happy day.." she said as I got startled.." Mom!" I exclaimed.." Well it was okay.." I replied as I greeted her and turned to head to my room..." Where were you today?" She asked as I nervously rubbed my fingers together..." I was at the tutoring centre for the weekend program.." I replied.." You sure? Because I called and they told me you didn't show up.." she replied.." Well okay I didn't go to the tutoring centre because I was studying for the upcoming test with a friend..." I replied as she glared at me.." Sure? Which Friend?" She asked as I stopped to think.." Lili..she's been having a problem with math recently and so I decided to help her.." I said as she walked towards me and started into my eyes.." Are you sure?" She asked as I nodded.." Iam.." I replied as she backed off.." Okay then go and take a shower..I'll ask Kia to warm up dinner for you..." She said as I quickly rushed to mt room before another interrogation opened up.....
After showering, I received a message from Kang ha and it was the video that he had recorded from earlier...« THAT IS THE DRAFT COPY OF IT IAM WORKING ON SOME EDITS AND WILL MAKE SURE I SEND YOU THE FINAL COPY SOON..» he said as I thanked him...« YOU DID WELL TODAY BAEK HANA....» he added as I smiled at his text with teary eyes..« THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING TODAY....» I replied to him as I set the phone aside to watch the video...which was so beautifully shot I got tears in my eyes watching it.

Arriving at school on Monday, I noticed every one staring at me....which isn't wierd but still a bit too much for today..." Lili.." I called our as I ran to her.." Is it just me or is everyone staring at me...?" I asked.." Wait you haven't seen it?" She asked as..." Seen what?" I replied as she showed me a video of me singing...." This!" I exclaimed," Where did you get this?" I asked.." It was at the school website.....also I heard that its on tiktok with over 1 million likes....girl I didn't know you could sing..well I knew you were like perfect in most things but you blew me away..I literally had goosebumps watching he video..." She replied as I started to feel nervous..." Who posted it?" I asked.." Well Iam not sure...let me check but why aren't you as excited as Iam for you?" She asked..." Can you please check quickly?" I asked anxiously..... because if this video made its way to my mom or dad then Iam done for.....

KANG HA'S POV
" Hey guys..." I said as I sat down...and noticed every one staring at their phones.." What are you watching?" I asked.." Haven't you seen this yet?" Woojin asked as he showed me a video of Hana singing.." Wait where did you get this?" I asked.." it was on the school website...and I heard that its on tiktok with over 1 million likes.." he said.." Correction 2 million likes.." he added.." Woah...Baek Hana is something she's like all in one..pretty smart...can sing..." He said as I checked my phone and found a text from Hana asking me to meet her at the Rooftop.
Reaching the roof top, I found her scolding some one over the phone..." Hana?" I called out as she turned to me.." This was a bad idea..I was careless..I mean I wear a literal mask as A and I just had to not wear it this one time..I mean what was i thinking, they were obviously going to record me..and probably post right..so then this video will make its way to my mom the same min I lied too a few days back and told I was out studying...." She said with panic as I asked her to calm down.." Hana..breath.." I said as she sighed and found somewhere to sit..." I mean it's crazy how I should be celebrating...I didn't even get as this many likes or views before....and now that I do..Iam panicking and finding away to remove the video to stop more people from seeing it....I must be the first person who feels stressed out for going viral." She said..." Who says you can't celebrate?" I asked.." Are you serious..I just told you that the same video will soon make its way to one of my parents..I can't afford to celebrate." She replied.." But it hasn't atleast yet..." I replied.."Because Iam sure if it has then your parents would be blasting your phone by now...but they aren't....use this time before they find out to celebrate a little....that way when they finally do or when they take the video down you won't have as many regrets about the things you should have done..." I explained as she looked back at me.." Why are you always so positive about things .? She asked.." Iam not always..I just try to be..." I replied.." So what do you think? I asked.." Well maybe I could celebrate a little.." she replied.." Be right back.." I said as I left for the vending machine where I grabbed two sodas...and the cafeteria where I bought two muffins....and headed back to the rooftop.
" Well remind me some time in the future to redo this is a proper cake saying congratulations Hana and a bottle of champagne...but for now..imagine this is that." I said to her as she looked back at me with teary eyes..." Hey! You shouldn't be crying..we trying to celebrate here.." I said as I wiped her tears..." To your success and more to come." I said as we tossed our cans of soda...." To more success.." she said as she took a sip...." One more thing..." I said as I pulled out a paper and a pen from my pockets...." What's this for?" She asked.." Can you please give me your autograph..." I said as she chuckled.." Stop messing around.." she said.." Iam not...." i replied as she held the paper and pen..." who Iam I dedicating this too?" She asked.." To your one and only number one fan....Kang ha." I replied as she write exactly that and handed it back to me..." I'll keep it with me...by the time you get famous this will expensive.." I replied as she hit my arm.." You better not sell that...it's the first autograph I've given in my life..." She said as I stared at it and smiled...." Iam lucky to be the first person to have it then....I'll treasure it." I replied as we locked eyes....
