Every girl dreams about their own prince charming. For me, it was a member of an idol group whose name I would not mention. I did not have an interest in those things before I went to high school, but the initial reason why I started, or pretended like I had one was to make friends. The magical topic that melted the boundaries of girls was the idol groups. Most of the friend groups were made by the idol that they liked. I was not that big of a fan but in order to talk to the girls that I liked, I had to be familiar with the idol that they liked.
That was the beginning of my fantasy. Since I went to a high school for girls, I did not have a chance to date a real boy if I did not try. Although I never dreamed about dating that idol, but I fantasized about romance that I would have when I go to college and meeting "the one" who has the look of the idol. I even went to a place where the idol group's event was being held with my friends just to get the glimpse of them passing by. It was an exciting experience that I would not forget. Not because of the idols but for the time that I spent with my friends, anticipating.
However, it is not the memorable experience that I would like to describe. I was freshly starting the new chapter of my life as a college student when I heard the news. My friend found out that there was an opening in the job as an interpreter in the idol's concert. Obviously we took the job and were able to watch the concert on the floor that was closest to the place where the group was going to perform. I was drunk in their performance after the show was over when I saw one of the idols started weeping. Witnessing the incident, suddenly it dawned on me that they were merely no more than a human being as I was. I subconsciously seemed to have the sense that they were the unearthly beings that were unreachable like some sort of a mythical god. Then I realized that there is no such thing as the "prince charming" that tore out from the pages of my imaginative romance novel. It was the end of my pet fantasy, but it made me face the harsh reality of dating.
Hi, my name is taek min kim. It was very interesting to find out the thoughts of an ordinary highschool girl, who loved idols. Because I was sometimes curious about that. I was interested to read your writting, thank you and see you in class:)
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Kye-yong. I understand how much girls are in love with some idols they love. Even I used to like some idols when I was young. And I'm glad that you realized the fact that fantasy is nothing but fantasy. There are some people who are still too much. It was so fun to read your writting!
