Not My Bias - An Im Jaebeom (JB) Fanfic

Number One Fangirl - Chapter 30

⊱ ♫ ────── ⋆Jaebeom⋆ ────── ♫ ⊰

The next days flew by fast. Between fan meets and traveling to different cities, we worked on contacting a network of almost 50 idols and actors who were willing to make statements against the archaic belief that those in the entertainment business couldn't date without it being a scandal or financial ruin for their company. Some even planned on announcing their own dating status. We had to change the minds of the public and win the hearts and support of the netizens in one fell swoop. I also hoped that with more people "coming out" as dating, it would water down the impact for any one person or group, mine included.

Translations of the videos that were being sent through on a daily basis were exhausting to complete, but they encouraged us all that this plan would be successful. Once the translations were completed, we returned the video files for individual upload scheduled to be done right after our first LA concert.

In addition to the announcement that I was dating, I had also been working on another surprise. This surprise though involved tracking down a little girl named Jane who, hopefully, lived in Texas near Dallas where we'd met several months before. Her Aunt Donna was known to be a follower of Jackson on Instagram. It wasn't a lot to go on, but I had some SNS experts in Bambam and Jackson who were doing their best to track her down.

My desire was to surprise Jane by getting her tickets to the Houston fan meet, rather than merely posting the selca we took on Jackson's Instagram or on my recently added account. Fortunately, Donna was a big fan of Jackson and regularly commented on his posts. She even mentioned her niece thinking she had seen me in Dallas. A few quick messages and some follow up phone calls, and the plan was set in motion.

On the night of the Houston fan meet the crowd was particularly lively. The games were different from the other venues as we had over 10 from which to select and they were drawn randomly. I was beginning to find that many American girls were more forward than Sharay and had to regularly stay off physical advances. Now that I spoke English, and they knew it, some of the propositions I received were, shall we say, risqué at best. I found myself frequently squirming from the encounters and hoping Sharay could tell that I was not interested at all.

For our closing remarks, I went last. It was time for Surprise #2 to be revealed.

"Thank you all for coming," I began. "Did you have a good time?"

I could hear the audience roaring, so I waited a touch until it died down a bit.

"Did you like the surprises I gave you all in Miami and New York?" Again there was a cacophony of sounds drowning out my words, but I followed it with, "Would you like another surprise?"

After finally getting a bit of a handle on the crowd, I continued. "In the audience tonight is a very special fan. This is someone I met in my travels as I was going back and forth between Korea and the States for my English training. Despite my ability to speak English well, and without an accent, I couldn't convince her I was someone other than myself. She was very smart too and figured out that I was probably traveling in secret and learning English."

"This girl informed me I was her bias and that she was a true Ahgase and would keep my secret. The only thing she asked was that I post a picture of the two of us on Jackson's Instagram account once I told everyone my secret. She wanted to prove to her aunt that she hadn't been wrong. She's here tonight as my guest after we were able to track down her aunt. So would you all give it up for my little friend Jane!"

"Jane, would you please make you way to the stairs on either side of the stage?" prompted Jackson. "It's time for all of us to meet you and for Jaebeom to thank you for being so great about keeping the secret he didn't even share with us."
