"January 5 , 2015"
I can never forget this date ! I still remember it was Tuesday at 6:04 PM , I was watching YouTube shorts on my phone when I suddenly came across his face. On the video it was captioned "kimsimeon has grown up well, singing and dancing well so cute handsome, in the TikTok" with two emojis on it , though I don't know what. I assume it must be hearts.
It was a video which showed that person's pictures from childhood to his adulthood. I was fascinated by one of his teenager pic ! For me , his childhood picture was kind of cute , teenager one was … I don't have words to say and the last one which portrayed his adulthood picture was … he was so handsome !
I thought that this person must be of age 25 or 26 because mostly these kind of handsome 'Idols and Actors' are of age 25 and above but they look like 17 or 18. But the thing which mattered me the most was that he was so charming ! It was like "First-sight crush." Never heard this word before , right ? Well , I had never felt like this before too , neither for any Idol nor for any Actor.
I hadn't searched for his name until 15th January , 2015 because I thought no matter what , he and I must have a great sort of age difference like 10 or 12 as I was only 14 years old at that time , I thought he must be 24 or 26. I had already screen recorded that video on January 5. Just when I was scrolling down through my phone , I got that video , so I decided to search his name in Google.
After searching , I got to know that he was an American-born South-korean singer , which meant he was a k-pop Idol ! I was like , Omg ! Is it a coincidence ?! Because at that time , to be exact , from the end of December , I had become an ARMY as well as BLINK. So gradually I was exploring the k-pop world at that time. I never expected him to be a K-pop person. I actually thought that he must be an Actor. It was quite shocking to know the truth ! I was even more shocked when I got to know that he was only 18 years old. And this time I was like 'What the hell ?!'. He's only 18 ?! I couldn't believe it ! I had never seen such a young K-pop star.
Slowly , I started reading about him , full with concentration and excitement. I was excited because now , atleast I could have a "Celebrity Crush" on someone. I got to know that he was a could've debuted with the group "Eighteen" , but he didn't as he was only 11 years old. And because of some personal reasons he didn't debuted with them.
I think it's quite understandable. I mean , a child should ofcourse enjoy his or her youth. Then I read that , at the age of 13 he was a part of the k-pop group named "TwoHit". His stage name was "Two" and his partner's stage name was "Hit". It was surprising ! I mean , only at the age of 13 he did these things ? While , I on the other hand was only playing games n'all. I got even more impressed by this.
In the Google , it said that he had debuted at the age of 16 for the first time and his song's name "Seventeen." I got more excited. I wanted to listen to his song ! And so I did. I searched for it in the YouTube and watched the whole video.
The song was … it was awesome ! I loved it ! And his dance was even more fabulous than that. I really do like guys who dance well ! And the overall rating was infinite out of 10. I mean , how can just a 16 year old guy do this ?! Surprising isn't it ?
But now I fell in a dilemma. It showed that his b'day was on '17th January , 1996." Which meant that his b'day was only day after tomorrow and it was really a very short period of time ! I didn't know what to do. I only knew that I wanted to do something special for him …
