As Expected

+-+-+-+-

In the afternoon at the fan meeting.

Fans that exceed capacity make security officers increase by multiple times.

"Vers!!"

The screams of the fans never stop. Each of them brought posters of all kinds of souvenirs with a large photo of Verss's face. The fans who had filled the conference room of the Starshot building since the morning seemed like they weren't tired. But even though they are, it's gone when they saw Verss pass beside them.

"Ahhh Verss!!"

Gale walks very close to Verss.

The building's security guards formed a long hallway for Verss and the others to pass. Edin is in front of the PR Agency of Starshot, and Gale and Mimin are behind Verss with another representative from Starshot's headquarters. Today is a fan meeting as well as a celebration Versa's nineteenth birthday. Lots of flower bouquets and gifts from fans have filled the front floor to the back of the lobby. In fact, many sponsors leave their flagship items as special gifts. Vers is still young but all attention is now on him.

Gale stands right behind Verss during the fan meeting. Basically, Verss is a quiet person, who is usually immersed in his own world and does not care about his surroundings. But in front of his fans, he tried his best to always smile, greet, and never tire of waving his hands, he clearly turned into the figure of Versa Yanng, the debut skyrocketed artist.

Arriving at the end of the event, it was time for the souvenir autograph session which was distributed to the fans who came. One by one the queue was so long to the front door.

Gale doesn't take his eyes off each of the approaching fans. Mostly young women, some with small children too, and some fanboys. A fanboy approaches with a face covered in a black hat, a bit suspicious, Gale thought as he got ready as the fans' turn came forward.

"Hello, what's your name?" Verss asked when the fan handed a Verss photobook on the table. But the fan didn't immediately answer, just bowed his head deeply.

Verss just signed the photobook without writing a name. He was about to hand it back to the young man in front of him when the young man suddenly raised his head.

"I like you!" The fun is so loud. Instantly the crowded room became silent, but who doesn't like Verss, you weird fan, thought another fan.

Verss smiled, and the young man in front of him raised his head. Looking at him with teary eyes behind his thick glasses. A clumsy young man with oily facial skin, and a few big pimples on his cheeks, he also looks stuttering. Gale was already getting ready to go see what the boy was going to do when he put his hand into something from under his jacket.

Gale steps forward between Verss and the young man, watching warily what the young man is about to pull out from under his jacket.

And as it turned out, it was a white envelope.

"Verss I like you! Love you so much, this is my present for your birthday. I've worked hard to collect all of this for you! To my beloved Verss!"

The youth held out the envelope in front of Verss with two hands. Hope Verss accepts it, but Gale doesn't let his guard down, the contents of the envelope could be dangerous. He took the envelope from the young man's hand.

The youth immediately dropped his head bowing in front of Verss who was still gaping in confusion.

"Please accept my love!"

"Eh.."

Edin raised his hand to ask the security guard to come closer. He just gave a signal and two officers approached and pulled the young man away.

"Verssa! I like you! I love you! Please accept my love!" The young man keep shouting even though the security was holding him to lift him out.

Verss tugged on Gale's sleeve, who was still standing in front of him blocking other fans from passing.

"Eh Gale, please step aside a bit"

Gale turns his body to look at Verss for long time. The young man in front of him was indeed very attractive. Whereas Sue the makeup artist only gave a light touch to Verss's already perfect face even without any make up on it.

Gale pulls a tissue from the table. Unexpectedly, the giant man approached him and cleaned his lips with a piece of tissue he took earlier. Slowly but gently removes the glossy lip stain which does make Verss's lips a bit sticky.

"Eh"

Verss was stunned, he could only wait in silence while Gale removed his makeup. The camera flash of fans and reporters was fixed on him, it fills the crowded room.

Every move related to Versa would be a hot topic the next day. And this include one of that.

Gale check on Verss's face in a very close distance, the young man doesn't need too much makeup. He is much more attractive with his innocent face, although the real reason is Gale who doesn't like other people's look at him like the young man earlier. Everyone looked at him as if he some kind of delicious food that served for them to eat it.

Gale hands the envelope to Mimin who sits next to Verss and returns to his original post, standing behind Verss.

The signing ceremony continued. As if nothing was happened.

"Come on, line orderly, please be organized so that everything goes smoothly, okay?" Mimin exclaimed with a loudspeaker in front of her mouth.

.......

In the evening. A gala dinner at a luxury restaurant in the middle of the city. An epic vip dinners who only he high ups could get in.

Edin was busy serving several VVIP guests who came to celebrate Verss's birthday.

Meanwhile, the staff tidied up various kinds of small to large gifts from the lobby and put them temporarily in a locked room so it won't be missing. The gift-giver could get angry if their gift didn't arrive in Verss' hands.

The room was quite large, like a birthday party filled with luxurious decorations that were pleasing to the eye.

Endless food, and live music performances on stage, and many artists were invited including Derek and several models Verss met when he was still walking on the catwalk. Now, because of his very busy schedule, Verss himself rarely walks on the catwalk. Verss is a quiet person and has a sharp gaze so rarely anyone wants to hang out with him other than Derek who is none other than one of Verss's loyal fanboys.

Verss sat in the corner on the soft sofa. His face looks very tired, he should have gone home and rested in his apartment but the Agency insisted on throwing a lavish birthday party for him. Verss is Stars shot's golden child, of course as a golden child everything for him is not an ordinary thing.

Gale thrusts the bottle of mineral water he has opened in front of Verss. He was only two or three steps away when he picked it up on the table.

He saw Verss's very tired face. It's been a very long day for him, Gale sits down next to Verss, pulling out something that's been in his coat pocket. A small black box was handed to Verss.
