I met Song Seung Heon

This has been written from my close friend's story. Her joy and happiness, her excitement and sincere love inspired me. The story with its feelings must be memorized...

Not she only, I myself do not want the emotions, feelings bold with love will be fade away from years to years. Love an idol, it is truly difficult to understand for those who have never been in this kind of love... 
The love, I know, is not simply an idol love. It is much more than that, since he devotes to us more than what an idol can do for his fans.


I met Song Seung Heon
...
There was a crowd when I walked into the lobby of the hotel. It did not take long time to realize I was in a photo signings for his fans, my idol. I looked at  the stage and saw Jin, my friend was standing near the table he was sitting. I looked at the crowd in front of me knowing for sure that there was no way to come closer to him. A disappointment raised in me for not being able to obtain his signature, my heart also blamed Jin for not telling me about his event.

Feeling very tired and desperated since could not come over the crowded barrier to meet him, I stepped to the next room where was an exhibition or charitable program  ...
...
I saw two men standing in the corner of the room. The man wearing gray jacket turned his back to me so I could not see his face. And the other, surprisingly, I did not believe what I saw! The man with perfect body and bright face who could be recognised easily, is my idol, my beloved, whom I always grateful for helping me get rid of my grief by East Of Eden drama with his role as Lee Dong Chul. Shocked and could not believe in my eyes, my whole body was shaking and I could not breath well, feelings overwhelmed me. Stammed in a while, I asked in English if he could give me his signature. He said that was his pleasure with a smile. I was struggling to find a paper in my bag, self-blaming for not having a notebook and also wondering if I would have another chance to meet him. Finnally he signed the paper that I gave.

I saw him and the gray jacket man were talking to each other in Korean, I guess that was his assistant. The assistant then said to me in English.

- Do you know who speaks English to help him on a couple of things he is concerning?

Very quickly I thought of Jin. I said immediately.
- My friend is good in English and also learning Korean, she will be happy to help you.

Then I said additionally.

- She does love you, too.

While we were talking, I could not take my eyes off him. Perfect delicate face towards me, looked at me with his deep black eyes and mythic long eyelashes.

Just then, Jin appeared suddenly, her face looked radiant with joy, her hands waving his picture.

- I have his photo! Have his signature, too! Have you got any?

I smiled at her, pointing at him.

- Let look at this person! He needs an English interpreter. Do you help him, don’t you?

My eyes soaked with tears of  happiness when telling to Jin. Did anyone else have the same feeling with me? It really was the happiness that I had never tasted.

Much joy with the photograph and his signature, Jin did only see me, not realize the two persons who were standing next to me. Then Jin's face changed immediately, I did not sure what her face was expressing, surprise, excitement, happiness or something else, or all of these feelings. I only know surely that Jin was shocked to see him standing there, next to me, comfortable and close as friends. And on top of it there was no one bothering us. Only him, and us.

Of course, Jin was very glad to help him. We talked during walking along the room. He and Jin spoke in English together, Jin talked to him comfortably.  I stepped back a bit, let them walked in front of me and the assistant. I tried to keep close to them, just a step distance.

He wore a white shirt and dark blue jeans. Do not understand why Jin and I really like him in white shirts, although he looks good in any kind of outfit. On the day Jin wore a black shirt and blue jeans. I told myself how coincidental it was, Jin and he wore jeans, similar dark blue jeans.

I gazed at his smooth and fair complexion, gazed at the wet light curly hairs sticking on his nape. The hotel temperature is still higher than Seoul’s in this season.

Could not control my emotions, I told up front with Jin in Vietnamese.
- Jin, look at his complexion, it is so beautiful, isn’t it?

He and Jin stopped, slightly turned back looking at me. His eyes, his smile looked at me then at Jin, as expecting for the end of the dialogue or wanting to know what we were talking about ... I quickly apologized him since I worried he may think we were saying some things bad about him. I asked Jin.

- Jin, let tell him that I was talking about his charming look.

Again, he gave us his infatuated smile when J explained. Now that smile was not on TV and movies. On that moment that smile was reserved for us. For Jin and for me, no one else.

I walked behind Jin and him, watched all things belong to him, his clothes, his body, his gestures as he was communicating with Jin. He gave her very gentle glances, very friendly and close. There was a bit generosity in his expressiveness, I guessed he usually receive the same love from fans. Jin, with the rediant face when looked at him, her hands gestures, her eyes and smiles, her aura show the happiness which was too large and sudden to be true. Looking at her, as mirroring myself, I know surely I had the same outlook, the same happiness.

Shocked with the unexpected joy, my heart danced its own rhymth, I only gazed at him and felt emotions flooding my heart ... Enjoy the fun of being with him I almost could not understand or remember what he and Jin were saying, knowing only that I was extremely happy.
Time flied too fast, then the time for saying goodbye came. Before his leaving Jin still managed to ask him.
- Do you know my Avatar is the green rose?
He  smiled as a reply. His smile, his expresssion shown that, he did know, yes, he did know that the green rose was Jin’s. For Jin the answer was worth more than any gift.
...


Meeting him, seeing him in real life is our dream. Now what we have is more than a dream. He existed near to us, close enough for a hand reach. Speaking to him, working with him was inexpressive joy.

Not only that, we also existed in his world, he knows who we are. We, the two fans of millions of his fans around the world, then we are the persons he has ever met, not only Avatars or nicknames in virtual worlds of the internet.

Thanks him for giving my sweet emotions. The moments being with him is beautiful memory that will be kept forever in my heart.
