Chapter 146 [Bonus ] 146 - Fan Club
??A was a huge fan of Jake Park, one of the biggest teenage pop singers.
Since Jake was an A-list artist, his Instagram ount alone had millions of followers, so it was very difficult to get noticed by him.
Even though A had a fan club ount for Jake with over 200k followers, Jake never saw anything about her fan club and never gave A the minimum attention she wanted.
Over time, this began to make A more and more disappointed in Jake, as if the love she had to give him was never reciprocated in the slightest.
When scandals surfaced that Jake had abused and beaten Hannah Garcia, his ex-girlfriend, another pop singer A loved, A realized that the love she felt for Jake had been reced by disgust.
The page she maintained, with over 200k followers, was updated less and less... until two months ago, when she didn''t even look at the ount anymore, she abandoned itpletely.
The problem is that for someone who started the page when she was 13 and made it a big part of her life and identity until she was 15, not following Jake and posting about him left A with an empty feeling in her chest.
In one of her saddest moments, A heard a song she had never heard before.
[In The End - ckVelvet]
With every phrase the singer of this band sang, A felt more and more that this song was written for her.
When the singer of ckVelvet sang about how the person never appreciated him, about how the person always acted like he was something guaranteed in her life and that she didn''t have to do anything to keep him there.
About how he felt after trying and trying for so long, only to end up with nothing and none of it mattering...
Even when the song was over, A couldn''t stop thinking about it.
At that moment she was only listening to rmended songs on MeTube, so out of curiosity she looked at the other rmended songs and saw one called "Numb".
Out of curiosity, she clicked on the song and was surprised at how good the artist''s voice was and how cool the lyrics were.
Even though A wasn''t a big rock fan, she really started to like this song.
At the end of the song, A looked at the rmended songs again and noticed that unlike Numb and In The End, which were just songs with a picture and the lyrics on the screen, among the rmendations was a song that showed ckVelvet''s face!
A wasted no time in clicking on it, excited to see what the band''s lead singer looked like.
[Boyfriend - ckVelvet]
To A''s shock, there was only one boy on stage!
ckVelvet is the stage name of a singer? Isn''t that a band?'' She wondered confused. Why doesn''t he use his real name?
While ckVelvet yed the melody of Boyfriend on stage, A took the opportunity to take a closer look at him and was shocked by how handsome he was.
Bleached hair, ck clothes, ck nes and bracelets, singing in a crowded bar with a ss of booze at his side... ckVelvet waspletely in line with the BadBoy mental checklist A had in mind.
''He''s very handsome...'' She thought happily and moved closer to the screen to get a better look at him.
??????
I can''t believe we''re finally alone...
I can''t believe I almost went home...
What are the odds? Everyone''s dancing...
And he''s not with you...
??????
Hearing his voice in a husky, maic tone, A was shocked at how cool he sounded singing it.
With every line of the song he sang, A imagined him saying it to her and her heart was racing.
When she got to the chorus of the song and saw that he was singing it to a girl in the audience, the first thing A''s mind did was imagine that she was standing in for that girl and he was singing it to her!
The more she watched the video and listened to the song, the more A felt her body heating up and running out of air.
Finally, after three minutes, the song ended and A was able to breathe normally again.
Uff
A gasped as she stared at theputer screen.
Looking at ckVelvet''s channel and seeing that he had just under 200k subscribers, she was surprised that such a small artist could cause such an intense reaction in her.
Without realizing it, A stayed up all night listening to ckVelvet''s other songs and watching the vlogs he had posted.
As someone who didn''t know him, it was very interesting for A to see that he was an artist who not only posted music, but also recorded vlogs of his routine at gigs.
"If Jake recorded something like that..." She thought about the possibility, how cool it would be to see Jake being as human as ckVelvet was when ying with his agent and cameraman.
By the time A realized how much time she''d spent watching his videos, listening to his music, and looking at his Instabram posts, the sun was rising outside her room.
"I''ve been up all night watching something about an artist I don''t even know? How long has it been since I''ve done this for Jake?" She asked herself in shock.
A only had two hours of sleep that night before she had to get up for school.
At school she showed ckVelvet to her friends, but although they liked it, they were still so in love with Jake that they couldn''t care less about ckVelvet...
This frustrated A a bit.
Trying to find out more about him, A searched for ckVelvet''s fan club pages and found nothing!
How did he get 200k followers and nobody made a fanclub for him?'' she asked herself in confusion.
By the time she found the answer, ckVelvet was less than 3 months into his career!
He grew to that point in just two months?! She was shocked.
It was at this point that she began to see ckVelvet as a rough diamond, slowly being cut to shine in front of everyone around him.
''I think I''ll start a fan club for him...'' She thought a little uncertainly, not knowing if she wanted to get involved in this again after what she''d been through with Jake...
As a temporary thing, A decided to make the page for ckVelvet and surprisingly she got over 100 followers on the first day of the ount!
This started to get A more excited about making some edits to ckVelvet and posting them on the page and the numbers started to climb very quickly.
The more she searched for ckVelvet to post on the site, the more she became addicted to it.
Up until 2 weeks after she created the page, A received a notification on her cell phone while she was in the shower going to sleep.
[ckVelvet liked her post].
Upon seeing the notification, A froze.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!" She screamed excitedly in the bathroom, scaring her mother so much that her mother opened the bathroom door, worried that something had happened to A.
But A didn''t care that her mother had gone into the bathroom, she was just shocked as she stared at the Instabram notification, desperately trying to take a screenshot of it.
Something so simple, just a like, something that didn''t even take two seconds of ckVelvet''s life, made A very happy, but it was this simple thing that Jake never managed to do...
Unbeknownst to Noah, he had won the most dedicated fan he would ever have for his career, not only with good music and good looks, but the main factor was the Like he gave, which served as the recognition this girl never received.
