Member-only story
Once Upon a Boy Band
Fiction
Kaylee Henderson thought that she was just buying a ten-dollar bottle of Merlot at the supermarket right before heading home for the night. After two glasses, she mindlessly scrolled through her social media accounts for a sense of purpose, only finding ads for shapewear and too many heated opinions about world politics. Before clicking off for the night, she saw one of her favorite influencers was having a giveaway for a one-on-one meeting with the up-and-coming boy band Kiss & Tell, the members of whom could have easily been her little brothers fresh out of college. A giggle bubbled out of her mouth before she added a comment of her own: These boys look delicious enough to eat! And of course she had to add a string of heart-eyed emojis for good measure. Only after sharing the post for the giveaway did she sink back against her sheets and fall into a dreamless slumber.
The next day…
Waking up with brain fuzz, Kaylee yawned and reached for her phone, which had fallen onto the floor. A grumble later, she checked for any notifications. Her eyes widened to find her phone had blown up with texts, emails, and social media alerts.
Kaylee, since when are you a fan of Kiss & Tell???
OMG, Aunt Kay-Kay, you little SNEAK, how did you steal away my only chance to meet my ultimate bae?! NO FAIR.
