one thing i will say that every kpop group has is the broke fan, i won't lie and say i am not this fan cause honestly, i am,
like if there was a category for an extremally broke fan it would have my name as it's title
i have resorted to buying merch from wish (just read the reviews first). Also, i am in no means saying that one shouldn't buy merch from the original sites but if you're a broke fan like me there's nothing wrong with choosing a cheaper route
anyway here's ch.2 my fellow stans ...
i got online, today was the day i would finnaly buy some merch and no one was gonna stop me
i quickly typed
GOGGLE: Exo merch
i clicked on the sm site
"Okay let's see what we have here," i thought as i sang along to monster in my broken Korean
scrolling down i saw a Baekhyun shirt and i thought "oh this is nice"
then i saw it
what all broke fans dread: PRICES
"Pre-Order - BAEKHYUN 'City Lights' Logo T-shirt (Night Ver.)"
$31.00
"31.00$$$"
i thought "okay so let's skip the shirt for now"
so i kept scrolling " okay if i can't get a shirt lets just get a button"
Korea's Exclusive Product: NCT 127 Big Button - WE ARE SUPERHUMAN
$13.00
"13.00 plus tax and shipping" i scratched my head as i tried to calculate how much everything would total to
"so i live in the United States and Korea is that far mmm, yes okay, so that comes out to be way out of my budget"
i sighed as i dropped my laptop and began to jump on my bed as i yelled "ahhhhhhhhhhh"
calming down i stepped down and sat back down "okay we can make this work let me just check my bank account" opening my account i squinted my eyes to look "okay so we have 5 dollars and 50 cents" i whispered "not bad" i thought
i was about to pick up my laptop when it hit me " 5 dollars and 50 CENTS!!"
i crashed back into bed " i was broke and here i was thinking of spending money i didn't have online"
'it's fine" i mumbled as i silently cried 'let's just watch a concert," i thought to myself as i picked up my laptop and typed
YOUTUBE: Exo concert
clicking on the most recent one i began to dance around as i watched my angels dance
i was a broke fan but that didn't define who i was as a fan cause at the end of the day youtube vids were free, thank goodness for the internet.
