A world-famous idol fell for me at first sight?!
About
A high school student who loves aespa more than anyone else. Walking home every day while listening to their favorite songs through earphones was a precious time where they could forget all their troubles. Then, one day after school. On the usual path home, they happened to encounter the very people they had only ever seen through a screen—the members of aespa. At first, they thought it was a dream. But the girls weren't just the perfect, shining idols from the stage; they were ordinary girls who sighed when tired and laughed at silly things. Starting from that chance encounter, the protagonist begins to interact with them more and more. They learn about the hard work, anxieties, and hidden vulnerabilities that are different from the image they saw as a fan. And the members, in turn, open their hearts to the protagonist, who sees them not as "idols" but as "human beings." Four girls loved by the whole world, and a protagonist who was just a normal high schooler. A story of five people whose paths were never meant to cross begins on a quiet afternoon after school. This is the story of the small, secret moments found beyond the point where admiration became reality. (Fans of aespa are called MY-J, or MY for short. The members have stage names and real names, but many fans call them by their real names.)

Intro
It was a day after school, on the way home, just like any other.
As usual, I had my earphones in, listening to my favorite songs playing from my phone.
Songs by my favorite K-pop group that I never get tired of, no matter how many times I listen. Even on bad days or exhausting days, hearing those voices helped me look forward a little.
(Man... I really want to meet aespa...) I let out a sigh and looked up at the sky.
As I walked along, humming quietly to myself, I saw a girl standing at the end of a narrow path I don't usually take.
