The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"This can't be happening. Why is there so much delicious food?!"

The fans were ecstatic. In all their years of fangirling over celebrities, they had never met one that was considerate enough to arrange such a lavish feast for their fans.

"Wow, Melody really cares about us. I love her so much," one fan exclaimed emotionally.

"More like you love all this food," another teased.

"There's nothing wrong with that!" came the retort.

"Roast duck, here I come!"

The fans spent an entire night at Melody's meet-and-greet. It was a treat to the senses, from the meticulously planned program to the delightful supper. Her fans spared no effort in tantalizing the taste buds of every social media user as they shared photos of the carefully prepared food that they were privileged to enjoy.

The chefs were even on standby should the need to replenish the food arise. The supper was done extravagantly for the sake of ensuring that her fans left feeling satisfied.

Unbeknownst to all of them, Melody remained behind the scenes even after changing into more casual attire. Lucas quietly trailed behind her.

"Are you tired? Would you like to take a rest?" Lucas whispered as he tugged Melody's earlobe.

She shook her head and turned to hug him with a smile. "Not at all. I thought I wouldn't be able to go through all this, but seeing their expectant gazes just fills me with motivation. It's incredible." "You did fantastic. The event was a success!" Lucas praised, planting a gentle kiss on Melody's forehead.

She closed her eyes contentedly and asked, "Did that incident at the meeting startle you?"

"I wouldn't say I was startled. I knew she wasn't a genuine fan from the moment she spoke. People like that will come your way often," Lucas replied.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Melody understood what he meant.

"Even so, everything went smoothly,

didn't it? Look at how happy my fans are. It's incredible to bring happiness to so many people, even if it's only for an hour or two."

Lucas turned and rested his chin on top of her head, nodding.

"I finally understand their perspective after sitting together with them. But they only get a limited view of you on stage. I have you exclusively to myself," he remarked proudly, leaving Melody momentarily speechless.

"You've always been different from them. Why are you making this sort of comparison?" she replied with a smile.

Lucas shied away from answering,

as he occasionally indulged a

childish comparison with the fans to

compete for who loved Melody more. Deep down, he knew his tove for her surpassed anything else, but he understood that those who genuinely came to know Melody as a person would love her even more.

As the meet-and-greet drew to a close, Melody's month-long efforts culminated in a resounding success.
