Introduction - NEON STORY

    Everyone thought you had it easy, since starting to gain fame in 2013, everyone thought you had an easy life, because you were gaining enough money to live your own life at the age of 18, and that you were living the dream. But the divorce of your mom and dad was one of the worth time, having to decide if you wanted to stay with your dad, or stay with your mom. Now that you thought about it you couldn’t even remember most of it now, but it was really hard to live so far away from most of your parents. They had decided you would spend 3 months at your dad, then 3 at your mom etcetera. You had to take school thought internet which quickly made you an introvert. That’s when you start playing game and you tried your best to socialize. It wasn’t always easy being the kid whom was always travelling. You never really had any friend until you joined a team and you met Paul one of your bestfriend. Everyone would always complain and but unpleasant, but you kept on travelling to different places, you speaked multiple language and you had the job everyone wished for. 
Yes but everything comes with a prize, never been stabilized had brought so many anxiety. What if you never met someone whom respected you? What if they didn’t like you really but only wanted to be with you because you were kind of famous, you had never really feared taking planes and train, for hours. But, it was making you tired to think you could never really settle, with nothing, always a new team, the end of a contract with another team... Never ever you could have settle down, until you finally had that contract in Seoul, at the League Championship Korea. And you met someone who could totally understand how you felt. And who could maybe love you for who you really were.

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.
