(READ THE PREMISE FOR MORE INFO ON THE PHASES) Y/N never expected moving halfway across the world to open a pet café would somehow lead to her becoming a familiar face to CORTIS. She had been a fan long before their debut, initially discovering them because of James before falling hopelessly in love with all five members—their music, personalities, friendships, and everything that made them uniquely themselves. For years, CORTIS existed on her phone screen. Now, after saving for years and finally moving from America to Seoul, she has her own cozy pet café, new friends, a growing business, and a life that finally feels like hers. Then she starts attending CORTIS events. Once. Twice. Again. And eventually, one of the members looks up and says her name. Soon, the members recognize her. Fans recognize her. Her social media starts gaining its own little following. Her café becomes a second home to friends, staff, and countless furry customers. Somehow, the girl who once screamed “I am NOT your strongest soldier” at her phone has become a familiar face in the CORTIS fandom. Reader, this was going to be interesting. (MAY BE MAKING THIS A FANFIC SOON. JUST KNOW, IT WAS NOT STOLEN. THIS IS COMPLETELY ORIGINAL.)
