Chapter 1010: Richest Fans in the World
The best fans in the world.
Astras.
Otherwise known as one of the fastest-growing fandoms in the entire planet! DAWN had even surpassed their follower count when they were still EVE in just a span of a few weeks.
Their follower count had surpassed 17 million by the time their fan meeting was going to commence!
Bora, who was still in her last year of college, called her best friend, Jia, to tell her about the fan meeting.
“Yo,” Bora greeted, munching on some shrimp chips.
Jia, sounding stressed, answered. “What?” she snapped.
Bora’s eyebrows raised in surprise. “Oh, someone’s having a good day,” she sarcastically said.
Jia sighed before speaking once more. “Seriously, what is it? These balding men and dry-ass women are asking me to buy their coffees. I don’t have any time to spare! So, hurry.”
“Oh,” Bora chuckled. “That means you won’t be able to go to the fan meeting then.”
Jia groaned. “Don’t remind me again. I’m already upset that they asked me to come to work on a weekend.”
Bora shook her head. “And here I thought you were going with Wei.”
Jia’s eyebrows raised in surprise. “Wei’s going?”
“Yeah,” Bora said. “You should read the group chat more often, you know? You don’t chat there anymore.”
“That’s because I’m still under training,” Jia muttered. “I promise I’ll make it up to you guys once I get to my actual position. Being a glamourized intern sucks! Anyway, how many albums did Wei buy this time?”
“She asked for money from her dad,” Bora said. That statement itself was enough to let Jia know that Wei bought a ton of albums.
“Ahh,” she said, nodding in acknowledgment. “Aren’t you going?”
“Nope,” Bora said. “I don’t have that much money. Besides, this event is filled with the likes of Wei. We have influenced her to be better, but you know that the venue would be filled with obnoxious, entitled people! I can’t be there. I might start a ruckus!”
“You’re right,” Jia chuckled. “Well, tell Wei to update us.”
“She will,” Bora responded. “Just check the GC. Now, go and buy those coffees!”
Meanwhile, at the event place in a fancy hotel, the members of DAWN had gathered for their second fan meeting. It was quite an intimate place, so they would be able to see the faces of their fans more clearly.
“Are you nervous?” June asked Jisung, who was fidgeting in his seat.
Jisung nodded. “It’s been a while since we’ve done this. This is also the first time we’re facing them as DAWN! I don’t want to disappoint them.”
June pursed his lips and patted the innocent member’s back. “Keep that heart, Ji,” he muttered.
Jisung looked up at him with wide eyes. “Are you nervous, too?”
June hesitantly nodded. “You could say that.”
However, he wasn’t nervous for the same reason as Jisung. Akira had spent the entire night telling him horror stories about sasaengs, and he couldn’t stop thinking about them since!
Although June considered himself pretty fearless, this was something he was quite iffy about -when a person looked so innocent that you wouldn’t expect them to do such atrocious things!
Outside of the venue, the fans started lining up.
Wei had arrived early, as they were still going to be arranged based on the album they had bought. As she walked to the venue, she already realized what kind of atmosphere it had.
Multiple girls were getting dropped off by their personal drivers.
Handbags that were more expensive than a four-year tuition at a good school were hung on their arms.
Perfumes that smelled like the flowers on the side of the street or the musk that naturally formed when you left your clothes in the cabinet for too long were sprayed without a care in the world, making the hallway smell like a funeral.
And, of course, the sound of obnoxious voices that thought they were better than everybody else.
Wei pursed her lips and looked down at her outfit. She had worn her usual style, and she appeared to be severely underdressed amidst the group of men and women lining up in the hallway.
To be fair, she was the same as them before.
She didn’t want to brag, but her family was really well-off. Her dad had a great business in China, and she was working remotely for him. It was great! She wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Of course, back then, she wanted the world to know that, too. However, as soon as she met her current group of friends, she realized how comfortable it was to just live life without bragging about your money.
So, in the end, she changed for the better.
Some of the attendants sneered at her, but she couldn’t care less! She was there to meet the people whom she loved a lot! She couldn’t wait to ask for their autographs and give them to her friends once the event was done.
Just then, someone spoke through a megaphone
“Wei Wang?” the organizer asked. “Please come to the front of the line.”
The others began murmuring, wondering who that was.
“How many albums did you buy?”
“A hundred.”
“I bought three hundred.”
“Oh, that’s a lot. I had to cut down on my spending because my dad told me to.”
Just then, another fan burst into tears. She fanned her face while her ‘friends’ tried to comfort
her.
“This can’t be! I bought six hundred albums! I should be the first!” she exclaimed, starting a
tantrum.
Wei raised his eyebrows in surprise. She scratched the back of her neck and walked to the
front, surpassing all of them.
“Wei Wang?” the organizer confirmed.
Wei nodded, making those behind her turn to her with wide eyes. This simple-looking girl
turned out to be the biggest spender.
“Yes,” she answered, showing them her ID.
The organizer nodded and allowed her to be in front.
She tilted her head to the side. “Was a thousand albums too much?” she muttered.
