BECOMING
SUPERSTAR:
The next morning you woke up around 12AM feeling a bit hangover but nothing too
hard to handle for your body. You undress and got into a shower played some
music but it got interrupt a lot by notification, you normally turned it off
for shower but you forgot as you didn’t even mind charging it last night and
you forgot to set it up. You got out of the shower and sit on your PC Chair and
check your notification, most of them where surprisingly all talking about your
new neighbour BTS. You scrolled a lot down before noticing they started to
follow you on twitter, along with almost 2/3k other person due to the resent
follow of the famous BTS, they also notified you in a tweet:
‘@BTS_twt : Always a pleasure to meet new nice neighbour @Izzie_JH . Good luck
on your first day at @lolesports LCK!’
That was such a lovely message from them. You took the time to answer some
question from your newly followers as well as some old followers greeting you
and everything. You started getting ready around 2PM after a well win game
before your BO for Diamond one. You stopped before your promotion to stream it
all the night after. On your way to work you felt super happy, this was going
to be a productive day, once arrived at the office you got a coffee and got
into the conference room and two of your co-worker where heavily talking and
arguing on meta picks :
-Well look who’s here, the famous IzzieJH, star of
the internet, and newly BTS neighbour! You laugh as you sit down with your colleague
-I feel like I’ve talked about this all morning
answering question from apparently what is called ARMY, so please spare me a
minute and talk about League of Legends. And yea, I had dinner with them last
night, they are very nice guy!
-Ahha, you answered everything we needed, now how
do you feel about the update on Tristana that’s on the PBE?
-The visual looks pretty good, and the kit as well
looks amazing, I’ll have to try it myself I guess!
The day got on pretty well, everything was setting up for tomorrow big day, you
started to be a bit stressed out but.. Your colleague were very helpful. On
your way home you went for one or two grocery store to find some snack for
tonight road to Diamond 1, you were excited!
-Hope you didn’t brought
to much this time, at the door in
front of your was Yoongi, you laughed
-It’s actually just snack for me tonight, big game
night for me!
-Sound nice.
-What about you… I mean, what are you guys doing?
-I don’t really know, we are just chilling out you
know, you nod, hey, hum… Before you go, you.. Hum, you look good today,
not that you didn’t yesterday, you looked good yesterday as well, but… Just…
Just wanted to say, you looked
good, he smiled awkwardly, you smiled
-Thanks, you too, looked good, yesterday, and
tonight, you opened the door of
your apartment, have a good night Yoongi, you smiled once again!
DRUNK
IN LOVE:
- So, you
were opening your post mail, throwing most of them in the trash as they were
stupid add. Nothing really important but you were waiting for a package. Mostly
thinking to yourself, thinking about work, and that hot neighbour of yours.
Your mind not even wondering out of your little bubble, not even hearing HIM,
talking to you at that precise second. That guy, he was on your mind since
meeting him, you search a bit on the internet, you even asked your friend about
him, you remembered that conversation pretty clearly :
-So, do you guys know anything about, hum… BTS
-How would we? I mean, maybe you guys know, I just
heard their music! Said Ssumday
-I know one of them was the most search man on
google last month for his body, replied
GorillA
-Oh, wow, his… Body, do you know which one?
-It was… He
thought for a second
-Suga! He
sure has a sweet body; you all
laugh at what he said. He laughed
too, hey,
what? She’s the one asking
us if we know anything, she clearly has a crush on one of her new neighbour!
-What, wait, WHAT? Asked Smeb, as he didn’t know the big news, he was the only one who
didn’t had a twitter. PraY got his phone out and show the tweet to Smeb
-It’s not a big deal ok! I just wanted to know if
you knew anything about them.
-Oh please, I know you Izzie, you have a crush on one
of them! You asked us because you
wanted to know him better.
-Damn, now I got to get in that twitter thing! You all laughed
-Anyone want to come for a drink at mine
-Well,
the ROX boys got practice, but I guess Chan have nothing…
-Yea you’re correct I don’t have, and coach said to
be back around two so I still have time for a couple booze!
-Cool, let’s go then, you smiled as you all get up, and got out of the restaurant.
The next morning after an aspirin, you got dress for a nice day of just clearly
doing nothing. You dressed up pretty nicely and got to your post mail as you
were waiting for a package:
-So, you were opining you post mail, who was
that guy? He asked
-What? You
got out of your bubble
-A guy, who came home with you around 11PM and
return home around 1:30?
-Oh Ssumday, yea Chan, he’s just a friend of mine,
we got dinner with other friend, and he was the only one who didn’t had any
practice the next day, so we chilled a bit at my house. Had a couple of beer
and then he got home. He’s on one of the best team of the league, very good
friend of mine, you smiled. Yea good friend, just friend!
-I mean, you’re an adult women, you can do whatever
you want with him.. And you’re pretty so…
-Oh, no no, we are… Just friend yea… Nothing else, I
don’t have anyone at the moment!
-Ok, cool, so hum, you want to hang out with us
tonight? Chilling eating food, Jin’s cooking, want to join us?
-Well, yes of course, I would love to! You started to walk together to your
apartment!
-Cool, so tonight, 7PM?
-Yes, perfect, I’ll be there, you smiled at him as he smiles back.
-Cool, great, oh hum, by the way, Jin might ask you
to be on his ‘eat with Jin’, it’s super cringe, but he’s a cool kid it’s funny
to hang out with him.
-Ahah, I’d love to be on his cringe food show, I
love to be cringe, it’s totally me, he
laughed. You felt stupid saying this
-Nice, I’ll see you tonight
-Yea that’s for sure!
At first you were pretty nervous about it, but it was nothing, you were just
hanging out with every one of them. And it was really nothing, nothing… Right?
You had hang out in front of the house for quite some time now when you finally
got the courage to knock on the door.
-Izzie, so glad you came,
Namjoon gave you a warm embrace, as you
get inside the apartment, it smells great food already, everyone rushed to you
for a quick hug as you sit down close to the kitchen counter a few minutes
later as dinner wasn’t ready and everyone minded their own business before
dinner. It was just you and Jin in the kitchen, it was open to the living room
where, Jimin Hoseok and Jungkook where watching TV.
-Anything interesting in the music industry right
now?
-I have no idea sweetie! We are just minding our
own business for the moment, we are preparing for our new release right now!
It’s pretty stressful, so we try to relax as much as we can when we have at
least a day!
-I get it, it’s very cool that you get all those
television show like countdown, there’s thing we don’t have in North America, I
love it, it creates connection with the fan, I like it.
-Yes me too! Ours is coming up very shortly I’m
very excited about it, I love to present to new music!
-I understand the feel and the rush you get from it,
you smile, he did to.
-So have you visit any of our talented rapper
studio? He wasn’t really a question as he knew you didn’t. Maybe Suga could give you a tour, not that you annoy me,
but it’s really cool to see, he could even make you listen to one or two new
tracks of ours!
-Really? You
looked excited
-Well yes of course, YOONGIIII?? He shouts.
-Yes, he
shouts back as he quickly got to the kitchen
-Show around the house and studio to Izzie, she has

-Oh yes you are right, why didn’t we thought about
it, come with me, you got up of
your sit all excited to get a little bit more into their private space; he
presented you all of the studio and once finished, you hang out on his studio
for a bit.

-So what… As if you didn’t check me out on google as
well. I can see I’m your new wallpaper as well, he looked a bit stressed, you laugh. You

-Come anytime you feel lonely, we are seven you

-And if I want to see you, in which mood shall I be?
-Mhhh, he
thought for a second, 3AM and you need a friend

-Cool, I’ll think about it, want to join the other,

ready.
-Sure, let’s do this.

After two month into your newly apartment you finally decided to take out the trash. Not only did you had ordered a lot of food, but you had a lot of cardboard still unopen and you had to take some that were empty now. You always said yourself ‘new year new me’ but this was the biggest new you. Now continent, a new job, a new apartment. The apartment you had found was just amazing. With a view of the whole Seoul, completely amazing. You had that neon vibe of the city, with every building looking like a different shade of blue and yellow, you completely loved it.
You didn’t know why but on this cold February you dressed pretty nicely for a girl taking out the trash, you still had you make up from this morning. As you went out you realize your food was coming any minute so instead of rushing you played it slow and walked toward the big bin with your hand full of shit when one of the many bag you had dropped out of your arm.
-Yo, you saw someone rushing to you, may I help? You gladly accept the offer but he only made it worth, as he tried to reach for one of the cardboard everything fell on the cold floor, you laugh as he did as well. Well, fuck, I’m sorry, I’m really not helping.
-It’s ok, I promise, you finally took a look at the guy in front of you, and… You always had a thing for Asian guy since forever, but he… He was super cute. He looks like one of those perfect idol you always heard about when you were still living in the West. You open the bin as you both through everything. Thank you so much anyway, you smiled as he smiles back, gosh was he cute, fuck stop this now... You look at each other for a solid second, damn were you awkward in social situation like those… Hum, I’m, I am Izzie by the way.
-Hi, nice to meet you I am I mean, I am Yoongi! You living in here as well right? Our land lord told us an American girl was going to live in the building, bet It’s you? Yep, two weeks in a new apartment and you already a reputation the American girl, how come everyone not recognize you were British, gosh, (probably because you had lived in North America for now 3 years). Pretty good Korean for a American!
- Well, I’m actually British, not that you hated people calling you American, but you were proud to be British. And yeah thanks I worked hard to learn Korean! You started to walk with him and were now inside the lobby, fuck, I, hum, I have to go back outside, I have hum… Food waiting for me!
-I’ll stay with you, ok wow now that was kind of weird, is he a creep or something? You reopen the door of the lobby and got outside once again. So, what you doing?
-I’m hum… You know League of Legends? You asked in any case, it’s pretty popular in Korea so he at least knew the name of the game.
-Yea, I'm not really good at video game but I know the game!!
-Well, I’m a streamer, and I just got a job as a psychologist for pro team and player in the Korean League!
-You joking? He asked.
-Why would I lie to a complete stranger? You asked laughing at the grey sky, some snowflakes coming down from the sky as you smiled some more, in California you never had snow, made you think of your hometown London. He looked ok with your answer! But he was still amazed that he had met someone somehow famous that couldn’t recognize him. What about you? You suddenly looked at him all smiled up, as he looked at you back, he founded you really cute.
-I’m hum… I’m a rapper! You looked at him weird out, but you always believed that if you didn’t lie to people they would not lie back, so you believed him. But you only thought he was one of those rapper completely messed in the world, a bit of a washed up rapper as you may say so…
-That’s cool, I’ve never really been into Korean Rap, only heard one song, but it was pretty lit, I might like it though, will have to get into the Korean culture, he laughed, as a scooter came in with your food, he lend you 4 bags as you looked strange at the delivery man who couldn’t care less and was already out of your sight. Your name was on the list, with all the food you had command. Yep you had token food for at least 10 people.
-Looks like someone is hungry, he smiled.
-Fuck, I got way too much and I’m not going to be home a slight bit this week.
-Well… I know it might sound weird but maybe I can help you with that, you once again looked at him weird, we are 7, you looked even more weird out. I have 6 roommate I mean; we can help you eat all of this?
-Look, is this some kind of weird kinky shit where you all going to look at me weird until I'm forced to move out in a month!! He laugh
-I promise it is not! You somewhat believed him and followed him to his apartment, it was in the other way of yours, at the end of the hallway. So, we are 7, all together and, you'll see once we are in, he opened the door to a beautiful apartment, you founded it cosy, you took little to no second to realize the poster on the wall were from his band, BTS? BTS!!!! YEA FREAKING BTS, at this idea you felt nervous, how?... Some of the guys inside start to be excited about the door opening, probably happy to see their friend back, and once they saw you, they at first got a bit weird out.
-I am Izzie, your new neighbourhood, hello, very nice to meet you, Yoongi didn’t hum.. lie, you guys are seven.
-You said you didn’t lie, so I didn’t lie and I anyway wouldn’t have lied!
-Soooo, you’re BTS, you said still a bit nervous
-Well don’t act so smart new lady I know you too! You’re a caster, and I love your work! One of the guy said, in a very funny way which made you laugh.
-Well thank you very much I appreciate it, but I’m not trying to act smart, just saw the poster on the wall, and yea, just didn’t realise I knew your face, but couldn’t get my hand your band name until I saw …. The posters on the wall, so, very happy to meet you guys. Only heard your Cypher track it’s cool one though.
-You’re nice, and you apparently brought dinner so much nice! Said the one who looked the youngest
-Well, I accidently brought for like a million person, so might as well just share it instead of keeping it in my fridge hoping I can eat this in two week but it will end up in the trash my schedule is pretty busy at the moment, and I don’t spend a lot of time in my apartment!
-What are you doing?
-Well, as you said I am a League of Legends caster, but I got recruited as a sport psychologist, and since it’s almost the beginning of the season, I have a lot of meeting and I have to prepare for my first day!
After endless conversation about both of your crazy life, it was almost 4AM when you called it a night.
-Well, this was super fun. If anyone ever told me I was going to live next door to one of the most popular Korean pop band I would’ve never believed them, but hey, guess I’m just getting lucky!
-You’re very friendly, we should do this again sometimes
-Yea definitely, I’m tight at the moment, but… My free day are normally Thursday, Sunday and Monday. But feel free to come knock on my door whenever you feel like it! You start to get up, as the guy you first meet got up as well…
-So, you want anyone to get you… ho… Never mind I forgot you live next door. You point at the door of their home
-I literally just bring that up, you laugh, I know we had a couple of drink, but I’m feeling ok with walking a few meters, you laugh some more as they all did
-Yea, don’t worry, I just blurred out for a second, my bad!
-It’s ok, sometime I just speak too much, you smiled at him as he smiles back. So, goodnight I guess, they all got up, and came in for a quick hug as you open the door, see you around, and finally close the door behind you, and you suddenly heard them all laugh crazy badly
-Yoongi got a crush on the new neighbour!!! You hear one screamed out of the apartment. As you lean of the door for a second feeling a bit dizzy from the alcohol and just didn’t think about what was said in the apartment
-Yea yea ok, she’s really cute and so what! You finally get the strength to get up your holding door and got to your apartment and blurred out fully clothed into your bed.
