HP x BTS 1


- Miss Maeng we can’t keep you here, I am sorry but you have to be go
- So, you’re saying after losing everything I had, I have to go and live somewhere else.
- You have to understand that we need to keep you safe. It’s our priority.
- WHY? Why me? I was almost crying of anger, after everything, losing almost all my family, most of my friend, I now had to suffer and go live somewhere else? I was losing it
- People will be protecting you there, better than us. We can’t keep you close to the threat
- But what is this threat, I don’t even know myself, why can’t I at least know. Miss McGonagall you have to tell me I can’t go on like this. Wishing this was all over but not even knowing what is this.
- Look, Elisabeth, I don’t even know myself. But we want to protect every student, and we think that if you are off somewhere else, it might end. 
- SO you’re saying I’m bad for everyone at Hogwarts right? 
- We, know… You have family in South Korea and that you speak fluently, we will send you there with muggle transportation and will start school in September. I felt resigned, whatever I could say I had to go. I didn’t want anyone else in Hogwarts to be hurt anymore
- Can I at least know how my school work? 
- Well, they actually are pretty similar, same classes and same background, of course presented a little differently. You will have to go to through test to be put in a new house. They have the same symbolic, Gryffindor red and gold, Slytherin green and silver, Ravenclaw royal blue and gold, and Hufflepuff gold and black. Their dress code is bit less strict, as long as you wear something black it will transform into the colour of your house. Dorm are a bit less strict as well, at The Wizardy University of Beopchan you can register for an up to 10 person’s dorm room or house with friends and or prefect, girl and boys mixed but different bathroom and room, and houses mixed as well. 
- What do you mean a house? 
- I mean like a house, with a kitchen and everything, you will love it there. Even though everyone usually eat at least breakfast and dinner in the Great Hall 
- Yea sure, in a house with complete stranger who I might kill because ‘Hey I’m Elisabeth Maeng, I am cursed since birth and I may kill you while you are asleep, nice to meet you, can we be friend?’. I looked like I was acting like a teenager but I felt like this.
- Look, I know you probably hate me right now, but I only want the best for you, I don’t want to lose anyone else. I hope you understand; this is for the best. I nod, I wasn’t sure but I had to do this.
- Yea… I got up, and was about to get out of the room but I saw my puppy and all my belongings in the office, and I turn back to McGonagall. What is this? 
- Your moving right away. She made a hand gesture and a trail of dust came in rolling all over me, I couldn’t say anything I was breathless, almost suffocating as the dust was turning all of the colour of the rainbow and all of a sudden it was gone, I fell to my knee next to my belongings. I was probably at the muggle transportation thingy, in front of me huge screen with written: 15:15 INCHEON SEOUL: QF1285 GATE D44 DELAYED by 30min. I felt like the world was about to fall onto me. I couldn’t even be there at the funeral, I was still down on my knee, crying my eyes out.
- Oh please, Darling don’t be like that. I heard.
- I’m sorry Huri, I just, it’s fucking hard. 
- I know Darling, let’s just say we are starting a new life. I look at my watch, I had almost 4 hours to be at the gate. Three to cry and one to go sounded nice. The person talking to me was my puppy Huri. Oh yes, I can hear animals. You remember the book you’ve heard all your childhood about: The Famous Harry Potter, well… If you want to know he’s a nice guy. And, wizards are a bit different than what you would expect. Hogwarts is now a university as well. I am… Sorry was part of it, in second year: I am Elisabeth Maeng, 22 years old and all wizard have a special skill: it goes from power like invisibility to more settle stuff, like me: who can only hear her puppy talk and other animal if they feel like talking. I have had this little guys since I was born, he stayed a puppy all those years, he never grew up; and I can hear him. I think he’s here to protect me. I don’t know if he has done a good job but, I am one of the last Maeng; the Korean side of the family actually, I believe my uncle is still alive. 
My mom and dad died because of me:  they were trying to defend me against a dark lord when I was aged 4, I can’t remember a thing. I am actually kind of Harry Potter, but there’s nothing really fancy surrounding my life but death. Someone tried to kidnap me and several other students about a two weeks ago after an exam, he, she or they escaped while trying, but before they made sure to kill almost everyone and everything that was around us. I was one to survive, we were 100 that day taking the exam. Some said there was a shield protecting me, some said I’m cursed and I don’t belong at this school. Well turns out they were right. 
On a brighter note I am really small, I’m around 162cm and around 63kg, before dying my grand ma used to tell me to put on some thick skin. I personally think my skin is thick enough. I have brownish hair, but they turn to other colour when I am mad or happy; Right now I am sad, so they are dark blue, fortunately my hair doesn’t turn into my every emotion, I can control it. I was a Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, top of my class in potion, Astronomy lover and music enthusiast:
 I’m a half blood, my dad was a coming from a loving pure blood line of Korean wizard on his dad side, his mom one was, I mean it’s what I’ve heard from Huri. Anyway, he came to England on a trip with friends and never got back to Korean, my mom was a British muggle with loving and understand parents, they were my whole life and I would probably give anything to have them back but, I know I can’t. 
- Huri, do you know how those things work?
- Based on what I know from the muggle world, this is an airport, you take a plane and you go to another country with this so called plane, I get up and get all my stuff, it was placed on a big cart. You have to check your luggage first.
- Ok, thanks Huri.
- No problem darling. I went to the ‘register luggage section and wait in line.’
- Hi Madame, how is your day? 
- I have had better, but I am going through it, what about you? She seemed shocked I asked how she was
- Oh, hum… I’m ok, thanks. Would you… Hum, where are you going? 
- Seoul! I smile.
- How many luggage? 
- A lot?
- Oh, yea, she looked over my shoulder and saw all 5 of my big luggage, they looked luxurious, they indeed were, my mom and dad a whole lot of saving, my dad a create a company that was MILLION and sold it to what he used to love calling a ‘mugglemass (muggle dumbass)’. All the money was mine after both my parents died. Hum, can I see your boarding pass and passport please? 
- My what again? 
- Your identity card and the paper you need so you can fly with our plane. 
- Oh, yes yes, they must have given this to me, hang on, I searched in my bag for a big minutes and came to touch something that I didn’t recognize, what was probably a passport and boarding pass! 
- Thank you very much Madame. Your flight number is the QF1285 in direction of Incheon, South Korea, it will be delayed by 45 minutes you will be landing at 2PM Korean time. You are in business class and you have a dog pass? She thought for a second.
- Dog pass? Like Dog can’t normally fly with their parents? 
- Well, you have to have a dog pass. And you have registered for 5 luggage, ok all looks ok to me, you are Elisabeth Maeng. All fine, bring the luggage. 
- YES!! I was a bit excited to discover how those muggle things work. But was a little bit less excited when I saw my luggage go away. Hum, I’m sorry, what is it doing? Why it’s going away? 
- Well it’s going onto the luggage compartment. 
- And you wanted to do this to my dog? Oh gosh not to my Huri. 
- Your dog will be safe with you don’t worry. I smiled a bit anxious at the simple fact that I had to leave all my belongings somewhere in a compartment. What are those muggle stuff by great Merlin’s Beard; around about 20min when all my luggage was registered I went on to the security gate, airports are actually boring, and I’m hungry. I was waiting in line with my bag and Huri and turn to someone next to me:
- Is there eating supplies after that? 
- Yes, don’t worry Ma’am there’s plenty of store after security check. 
- Argh thank god! I smiled, thank you for the information.

Neon Story : The Titanic

THE TITANIC :

It was one of the night were nothing felt right, around 9PM I argued with people being very unpleasant on my chat, and I decided to cut my stream short because they were a lot and they started to hurt where it was painful. So at 10PM and I went to bed. 
But around 2AM, I woke up feeling… Rather wet, all my face and hair was indeed wet, I turned on my light and realise my roof was spitting water, it must have been a long time because I was pretty soaked, how could I have not woken up earlier? I fully woke up took the sheet out and put several bucket under my soaking roof. FUCK!!!! My new apartment was ruined. The bathroom of the neighbour must’ve been a mess as well, but 2AM was not a respectable way to wake up a neighbour, I will take care of this tomorrow, and anyway, I just think he might be in vacation. I quickly dressed up, and just couldn’t bear to stay alone in my apartment, and anyway I just could not. It has been a few very stressful day and I don’t want to be alone. Maybe Yoongi was in his studio, by any chance. 
It has now been 3 months since we first met, and we’ve gotten closer and closer. But those few days were so full, I would go to work around 7AM and got home at 8PM. No time for my newly crush. 
I was sniffing, feeling cold and now kind of sick as well. 
Yes, what a great way to end this already very bad day. Once in front of the studio I knocked three time. I waited a minute before hearing noise from inside. Yoongi came answering quickly after. He looked shocked to see me at such an hour:

-What is happening? He looked at me weird, probably because I was wet
-My apartment, I sniffed, is the inside of the titanic. 
-What? Fuck, come in, he closed the door to the studio, as I sit on the couch, freezing. I looked cold, hang on, he got out by the door connected to his apartment, and came back with a blanket, which he carefully wrapped around me, I whispered a quick thanks as he smiles at me. Long time since I haven’t seen anyone smiling at me. Those past day at the office it was pretty quiet since the off season had come around but I was still working on the new season coming up in a few weeks and I was now managing team and player environment. I started to cry probably out of exhausting, or just to see someone smile was just too much.
- Oh god I am so sorry; I was sobbing like a baby crying, I am pathetic. 
-What his going on Izzie? Come on, he came and sit next to me wrap his arm around me. 
-It’s just that. It’s been very hard those few days, and I saw you smile at me, and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a real smiling face. Work has been very hard those day and no one is at the office at the same time as me. Or we are all too busy to hang out. AND… I got bullied on my stream, people saying I got fat, and uglier than usual. And I’m used to those comment, but they got to me yesterday night, and now my apartment is the freaking titanic, I think my living room is sinking as well, and I have no idea why… And I’m being way to dramatic right now I know.
-You look nothing but ugly or fat, you are beautiful in fact, very beautiful, to me at least. Look, it’s all going to be ok, I know it’s been stressful but… Season is going to start pretty soon, and you will have to relax for a bit ok? I will be there if you need me, I will ok? I promise I will. 
-You are way too nice for a guy who just got interrupt from his work by a girl crying.
-Look, I know this might be a very bad timing to tell you.. But, I… And you really are not obliged to say anything because... I’m not pressuring you, but I really like, like, I like you a lot, since we met and I have been thinking about, like asking you out on a date and everything, I had stop crying and was rather smiling. But we have been both really busy, and I wanted to tell you this at a very other time, but, I like you, and… 
-I like you too… He froze for a second, I would love a date, he nods. As he got up.
-Ok… Ok, cool.. I didn’t, I didn’t think you would. Ok, cool! Hum, yes, we could do this when we have a bit of free time. I’m… 
-Next week, I, I have the weeding… I don’t really, know if we could... I just!
-Hang on, Cho In-Su weeding?
-Well yes, his future wife Roe Mi-Gyong loves esports and she becomes a great friend of mine when she discover I was moving to Korea. Cho has designed some of my clothes for LCS, we became great friend through connexion and most my esports friend got invited we all going together. 
-Wow, the world is so little. We BTS are invited as well
-Yea, so… What do we do? I don’t know, I’m going with my friend, but we should be able to get some time together, I smiled
-Ok, that’s really cool… Look, I just finish this, he pointed to his PC, and hum.. We can go back to your apartment check out how it his, and go back to mine, and go back to just like, sleep!
-Thank you. Thank you so much. I got up, and hugged him, as he hugged me back, longer than usual. After about 30minutes he was done with work. HE shut down his PC and we went out to my apartment, everything was a mess, there was water, little blop coming out of about 10 different point
-Well, it’s a real problem.
-Yea, I don’t know what’s happening!
-Maybe he forgot to turn off his shower. He looked at the roof, and we started to both laugh as he received some water on his face. God I need an umbrella. I quickly got to my bedroom, happily my closet was pretty safe from the rest as well as my kitchen and bathroom. 
-I got to take my set up as well. It had started to get a little watery but thank god I were turning everything down at night, I could safely pack my PC. After I took a luggage with as much clothes as I could, I paid attention to pack several boxes of stuff I got delivered from brand and immediately get everything into Yoongi studio and got back to my apartment to cover my couch with plastic and put ball to prevent the water from spiting everywhere, covered my TV up with plastic as well. I than started to laugh, probably still out of exhaustion. Better laugh it up… He laughed as well while covering the TV. I’m so sorry, I made do all of this at such an hour, but I can’t never thank you enough. He then hugged me and kissed me on the front which comfort me to a great great point.
-Come on, let’s go get some rest. I felt like I deserved it. We got to his apartment and he made me a nice bed on the couch and I could rest for about 4/5 hours, but got woken up by the sun light and someone looking at me. It was Jimin:
-What are you doing here? He tilted his head as he kindly asked.
-My apartment is completely rekt apart, there’s water everywhere, I stretched your eyes. What time is it? 
-Must be around 9AM, want some coffee? What happened to your apartment?
-I’d love too. I have no idea what happened, I think the neighbour is on vacation and he forgot to turn is sink off!
-Oh wow, that’s awful, how are you? 
-I’m good, I guess. Thank god Yoongi was awake and he helped me a lot!
-CUTE! I laughed.
-I need to call my land lord, and call work, to say I will not be here because of my problem…
-You need any help? I picked up my phone as he nicely hand me the coffee
-No, don’t worry it’s all good, just one or two call to make! It’s fine, thank you for the coffee.
- Ok, I’ll be there if you need anything!
-Thank you so much, he came close and hugged me, he got out of the room and sit in the living room couch. As I started to call one of my colleague first.
-Hi Izzie, what is up? 
-Hi, Chris, nothing much, but my apartment is soaked in, one of my neighbour forgot to turn off is sink so I’m pretty homeless right now and hum, what about you… He cuts me off
-Oh, thanks I’m perfectly fine, but my god Izzie are you ok?
-Yes, I promise I am, look just, can you just tell the office I won’t be here for today, and if the problem isn’t resolve, tomorrow as well
-Don’t worry, I’ll talk them through this, but where are you now? You sure you don’t want me to come pick you up and you’ll take care of this at mine? 
-No I’m ok, I’m at one of my neighbour, I came crashing in last night, for the moment I’m staying in, close to my apartment.
-Ok, but call me if you need anything, ok?
-Yes, I promise I will, thanks Chris
-No worry darling. I both hung up the phone. And I than called my land-lord. She was shocked to hear the news and felt bad for me. She was at a meeting but said she will be there once it was done. When I hung up for the second time, everyone was now fully awake. As Jimin had told everyone last night story, they all felt like apologizing even though it wasn’t their fault. I asked if I could take a shower and get dressed as they obviously accept And I got prepared.
Once I was done, I got out of the bathroom and Tae was waiting for me outside, all smiled up ,a bandana on his hair, a ripped off jeans as well as a tee shirt and an open up shirt: 
-So, my little Izzie?? He was looking at me very happily, which I founded weird!  How are you feeling today!
- Guess I’m alright, what about you Tae!
-Good, anything new in your life? 
-Well, apart from my apartment literally being the inside of the titanic, I don’t really know, nothing much sweetie, I smiled.
-You sure about that? He raised his eyebrows, knowing something, he wanted me to spit the word. Any crush at the moment? Anyone asking you out? Or shit, he was still raising his eyebrows!
-How? How the hell do you always get to know shit V? 
-I’m pretty convincing, he can’t resist telling me stuff! He smiled pretty happy about his recent discover.
-Look, last night was a weird night ok. And of course I like him, he’s so good to me, always making sure I’m ok, and he’s nice, and pretty cute, kind of hot sometimes... And, no, no V I like him! But he asked me out, like out of the blue, and of course I said yes, but, we haven’t even spoke today, I haven’t seen him. 
-I know, I have an idea, he started to run in the living room
-V, V, Tae… I screamed but he was already out.

After the meeting with my land lord, and a quick trip to the neighbour upstairs, I came to the conclusion that he was already gone for more than 5/6 days since the sink had made his apartment floot and my apartment had been damaged from this. Jungkook and Hoseok were nice enough to stay with me the whole time as the rest of the group was out to buy me a mini closet (YES I DID PAY FOR THIS) for all my clothes. They had offer me a room in their apartment, which I gladly accepted as it was convenient, I could stay close to the work in my apartment. I could set up my stream in Yoongi studio and as well, stay close to him, which was pretty convenient as well!

The night after I hung out a lot with my newly roommate, and accommodated yourself as well as I could, even though they were the nicest of all, I wasn’t really used to living the Korean life, even after many month onto the country, working there and everything, the comfort of my apartment was everything I always wanted and loved about being a sport psychologist and not an assistant coach anymore, living with lots of boys was kind of getting on my nerve from time to time. Not that I disliked working on either FNC nor C9, just that I love my personal space, and now that I finally had one, it was taken away once again, so as much as I loved all the guys from BTS, and wanted to spend very very long time with Yoongi, I miss my peace and quiet. It was a little bit after dinner that I decided to call it a day and went into the room where they had put a little one-piece bed for me. Finally it kind of felt like a home. I was reading a book, one of my ear pod plugged as it was always the case when I am reading. It was sometimes disturbing my reading so one ear only was good for the concentration. I heard a knock on the door, which was pretty weird as it was actually Jin and Yoongi’s room as well, and not mine so none should felt like knocking: 

-Come in, it was Jungkook. Hey little one, come in, I made a gesture that he could come in close to me on the side of my bed. You feeling alright? I smiled
-I’m good, what about you? 
-I’m a little tired, and I feel bad, that I’m taking all this place up. 
-We wouldn’t have asked you to stay here if we didn’t appreciate your company, I smiled
-I know, and I am really grateful, but… I was really getting into the living alone thing, I’ve always lived in gaming house with lots of boys and… Not that I don’t like hanging out with you guys but… I loved being on my own. I don’t really know if you can like see what I mean. It’s actually dumb and I shouldn’t be saying this to you, it is very rude from me, as I’m literally taking one of your own bed just for myself. I’m sorry, I was hiding my face, in shame of even saying this. I sounded so ungrateful. 
-No, I get it… I’m really sorry for your apartment, but you’ll see it’s just great to live with us. And you got to hang out with Yoongi Hyung a lot so it’s a win win for you dear!
-How does everyone know? It was Tae right, I now felt ashamed that everyone knew I had this huge crush on one of their best friend. 
-Oh darling everyone can see it, from miles, you guys are cute anyway, so we’re all fine with it you know! I laughed. 
-I guess I’ll never thank you enough for helping me with everything.
-It’s ok, as long as you don’t do anything to extra, and you like, pay for food and everything, I guess we’ll be ok with you! I looked embarrassed all of a sudden
-How not to be extra, damn that’s hard! He laughed as I did so myself.

JANUARY 2016 : Going back home


- Well, two of my friend aren’t home. They said they were going to go food, so they asked if you wanted to eat with us tonight as well?!

- Oh.. Well, my dad has apparently take a plane back to California for 3 days so fu… I almost cursed and realised in Korean you must not curse in front of someone older. I’m down for it it, ok. He looked confused as we both started to walk again.
- And you didn’t know? 
- Business he said, it’s fine though don’t worry, I smiled as he smiled back. I’m used to him travelling a lot. I had my car key in my hand, by pure reflexes of always having it but this morning my dad dropped me before going to work.
- I have a car? Do you have one? 
- Well, my dad drops me off this morning. I have my key, but my dad told me he took my car, since he had it all day. So it’s at the airport, he left me his though, but it’s home. Argh
- ‘K it’s cool I have mine, let’s do this then. His car was an all-black cross style, with tinted windows. It looked luxurious, but he looked at my car key. Your dad is a millionaire though? He had looked at the key of my car and it’s true that I had quite the expensive car but I had payed it myself. I laughed as he opened his car.
- Why wouldn’t I be the millionaire? He laughed as well as we both got into the car. 
- Ok my bad, let’s go. He starts the car and we went on our way to a famous guy house, which was still feeling kind of crazy to but… He was still human, and hey, I am famous too. So why not? ON our way to his place, we kept on talking, he told me all about his ‘members’. We had a lot of laugh.
- Wait wait, you guys dance? Ow this is amazing. I love to dance!
- Like in the club or?
- No, no, I’ve danced my whole life. Took countless hours of training, when I was little I wanted to be like... NSYNC, he laughs
- Who are you? 
- Well, I’m Elisabeth, but hey, call me Izzie by the way, I know it sounds weird it’s like the word in English. 
- Nice to meet you then, Min Yoongi, or Suga, as you want. 
- Suga? I turned to him has we were at the red light, I had no idea they had stage name, Suga, sounds sweet!
- You don’t know? 
- Nope, can’t actually remember if you said it in our first class. But, oh Suga. It sounds soft. 
- Don’t I look soft? He said smiling, it was true that he looked soft. So soft he kept on looking at me until I blushed, the funny part was that he was the one blushing as he founded me cute.
- Oh, they may kill you if you don’t drive. I don’t like when people were angry in car, it makes me angry when I’m in my car so did he, he made an angry face as he starts to drive again and he laughed. 
- Sooo, is it your dad car? He got back to the subject of my car
- Why are you so surprised it’s mine? 
- I don’t know you’re like a 21 years old University student wearing Gucci, Saint Laurent and looks like you’re driving a pretty nice car. 
- I’m not a daddy’s girl. I’ve earned all of this money. He looked shocked, and you remember what I was wearing last week? Now he looked embarrassed, he had memorised every inch of my body for some reason. I used to be an esports analyst, I’m a streamer and I’m kind of famous on social media, like… I don’t know, I’ve earned it. That pays super well. Now he was definitely shock. 
- What? He was parking
- Take your phone, search for IzzieJH! He did and as he looks through the phone he couldn’t believe it.
- Wow! I didn’t know.
- Because we just met, I smiled as we got out of the car.

After that it went on so well. All of them were very nice, we had a coffee and we past the rest of the day packing with the one who were still there after lunch. Class was from 8 to 10AM so it was a pretty chill day. Throughout the day I just could not stop coughing and sneezing. I of course was accommodated to the Korean culture of wearing a mask. My head felt kind of dizzy and I had trouble staying awake even though I did drink a coffee. I felt super cold so I kept my oversized jacket. I had asked if I could help folding clothes since most of the packing was done, they gladly accepted. I was my own, but I didn’t mind, I like when things are tidy up so it kept me busy, the other were probably doing work:

- So, it’s her hmm? He asked to Yoongi.
- What are you talking about? He asked in reply his arm crossed as they were both watching me folding.
- Oh come on, you’ve been thinking about her all week. Since you told us about that new students who was a great singer. It’s her right? 
- Just don’t embarrass me? Ok? 
- AAAAAaaah, SUGA!!! He said excited.  

When all of them were home most of the clothes were fold in and packed up, I had done a pretty good job despite being sick as ever. My bag was full of tissue and I never really stopped sneezing. They invited me to stay for the night. And I accepted only because I was actually too tired to take the bus home. They were all very charming and fun to hang around so it was nice to finally be able to talk to people. 
Around midnight I really felt like dying, my head was killing me and my back was arching like crazy. And even if I like being with them I really needed to go home and get some sleep. 
- Look guys, it’s not that I don’t want to stay but, I just feel like dying right now. And, as I said that I got up of the floor and almost fainted. All of them looked concern, Yoongi first
- Jeez you really are tired and sick.
- Oh my god, I’m so sorry. 
- No, we made you work all day when you could’ve get some rest. It’s on us. 
- I wouldn’t have done it If I felt like I couldn’t. I promise it’s on me. 
- Well, fine, but you can’t just go home on your own feeling like this. Let me take you home, most of them were a bit shocked that he asked for that, normally he would have maybe called a cab but never take someone home, driving wasn’t his primary activity.
- I can call a taxi.
- No no, it’s true. What if you almost faint again in your alley, or right in front of the door. 
- I can still take care of myself. I was kind of angry they didn’t think I could do this I mean it’s a flu nothing bad can happen. It’s a bus not climbing Bukhansan. I had been sick like this before.
- Fine, I’ll let you at the front. We just want to make sure your safe, ok? He said as I had decided to give up on trying, it made me even more tired. The car ride was chill as I didn’t have that much energy left, at some point I think I even close my eyes for a bit at a random red light, which concerned Yoongi for a second has he took the time to feel if my forehead was hot, it was but I felt cold, when he put his hand I smiled. I still tried to talk for a bit about my dad work and he told me about his parents who had a restaurant.  When he parked in front of the building I lived in, he finally asked for my number, just to check in on me in the morning. I gave it to him and then it was hard to leave the car. Not because I was with him, please don’t make me vomit I’m not that candid or… Romantic, I kinda am, ANYWAY… I was because my WHOLE body hurt. When I went out he didn’t go until I was at least in the lobby before going in I check on him one last time before he went off as I waved at him goodbye.

JANUARY 2016


JANUARY 2016: Moving to Korea.

Can I tell you a secret? I think I’m in love my music instructor…
Honestly, I’ve always Korea loved Korean culture and their country and everything. But moving out SUCKS ASS!! Even if the moving from California to Seoul was smooth, I hate being shake up in my regular life. What sucks even more is that me and my dad had to leave in the middle between semester.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining. Ok ok, I am complaining and so what? I had to leave all my friends, even though I know I will see them again since as you know they all travel to Seoul in between split and everything. But hey, still sucks ok, I’m a 21 years old girl, I still feel like a teenage, and leaving all your friends behind. Of course as you all mentioned on last month post, I could’ve asked my dad if I could stay with my guardian (if you’re new here it’s Jack Etienne owner of esports organisation Cloud9). But I didn’t want to leave my dad on his own. I will never, but anyway… I know that you guys want to know more about that music instructor, he was introduced in the first class as a part time he is supposed to stay for 6 months since he is apparently super famous. I had no idea who he was since I wasn’t that much into K-pop. But damn is he cute, ok ok anyway. So he was introduced most of the girl and guy had freaked out, they were all talking for a minute before going back to the subject: ME! I was the new students, most of it foreigners. I’m fluent in Korean so it was easy to introduce myself, most of the students were impressed to see I was fluent.
I had made a friend, his name his Chan but you guys all know Chan, he was raise in New York and moved to Korea when he was 12 years old (for the one flying by on this particular month update). And he is into esports as well, so I was happy I had someone to rely on once I arrived in Korea, we had already met before and his been one of my best friends since forever:

- Ok, can we get our new student to the front of the class? Please
Elisabeth come, I get up of my sit and show myself to the audience of around 50 students, 2 teachers and the instructors whom I  tried not to look out on my way to the front. Introduce yourself
- Hello, I am Elisabeth Johenson, I was born in Sweden, raised in both France and California, I am 21 years old and… I have start to study music in California when I entered UCLA about 2 years ago, I have taken many breaks into my student’s life to work in esports, most of the time to be a coach, now I’m trying to focus on streaming and studying. Hum, so yes that is why I am 21 in third year.
- Welcome to the class Elisabeth, I bowed down as I tried my hardest to escape the situation but the teacher said not too. No, no, not so fast young lady, we have a tradition for new students who comes in, we ask them to showcase their talent, so please do us the favour. I was a tad stressed.
- Ok, so hum… I guess I can sing Make You Feel my love by Adele.
- I can play the… He said mumbling as I was already taping my finger on the piano. Since Adele and maybe some Sam Smith were the only song I knew on the piano, but I can tell you I feel Adele on another spiritual level.

And so I had to play the piano and sing in front of a fresh new crush. What an embarrassment, I don’t think I missed a note but gosh was I scared. AND, when I finished everyone applause, not because it’s me because it was a performance, and the assignment were in for the semester and : It was said, after class as I went out with Chan.

We obviously speak in English to shade people whenever we can.

- So have you heard the news?
- No, how could I? I smiled at Chan
- Well, apparently, the reason why Mister MIN Yoongi was in our class, is because he is going to choose someone from our class to sing a song for him. Actually I heard a guy and a girl.
- Ow wow! What’s Yoongi though, I mean, where does he come from, why was everyone so excited about him, we were now almost at the subway station.
- Ow my little American Girl, BTS. BTS is one very popular band in Korea!
- Oh, wow. I was both shocked that he was part of a famous band but also that he called ME, his best friend… American since he knows how proud I am to be Swedish
- Look, I don’t want to say anything but, he just wouldn’t stop looking at you. Since the beginning of the class, he started to tease me.
- Well yea, I was practically at the centre of the class today, teacher kept on asking me question and I had to sing. How embarrassing and stressful.
- WHAT? He looked at me shock, that was beautiful, bitch you Adele, I felt you, I wanted you to make me feel your love. We both sits at the terrace of a café far from our University for an hours working on some assignment or just talked, he showed me all of BTS and I joked about it for a second:
- I got 3 million subs on YouTube though, almost the same amount of their twitter, I laughed as he did too.
- So self-centred, he raised his eyes, why are you in University though for real, I was genuinely curious, because you are kind of a big deal right, last time I checked you stream you had like... 3k viewers or some shit, and when you told me you were going to come with me in Uni I was chocked! And then we didn’t really had time to talk when you moved in I wanted to ask you in person
- Honestly I just wanted to go to class, I don’t want to burn out and stay at home all day. I took this photography class I have zero fucking idea why though, but I like photo so might as well just fill in my time but the head-master said I couldn’t go to the 3rd year class, he accepted that I’d go in second year class only because I guess there’s no point I take a 3 years course If I finish my diploma this year, and then stream…
- And have you’ve learned music in Cali?
- Well, our teacher was kind of bad, so I tried to learn by myself. But it was hard as fuck. I passed but like barely
- Ow look who’s going to take some lesson from mister BTS because she needs it so bad , please Min Yoon-gi OPPA, I really need your help, he said in a high pinched voice, imitating me. I simply smile, he never hurts me in any way when he did that, he was really exaggerating every move and I know he’s a drama students, so I’m ok
- Oh come on, I can’t , he must be so busy, I’ll never have the gut anyway, I’m like super shy.
I’ll do it for you. I laugh.
- You’re going to embarrass me!
- I promise I’ll try not to, might be hard though, you’re American. I was always frustrated to be called American. I made an angry face as he laughed.

So it appears that this was a competition. Do I really want to win? I actually really don’t care, It’s bad that I’m going to say this but. I’ll stop this year after I graduate in psychology, it’s pretty dumb, I mean, I know I have to have a diploma just in case, but for the moment I feel like I have enough. I might sound clichĂ© but I can’t wait for more music class and just watch him all day. Ok ok, enough talking about this,
Today I am very pleased to tell you that after MILLIONS of hours of talking, I am finally sponsored by Logitech. AND: Giveaway in two days on my stream with the new spiciest equipment!
That’s it for this month post, I’ll see you guys in the next one.
And oh, by the way, I start my photography class next week so wish me all luck.
Love You all IzzieJH xx.

_________________________

The week after that was pretty chill. I didn’t really have much to do, assignments were pretty easy but Chan was sick so I went to your class on my own. I couldn’t go to music class because dad asked me to come and help at work, I had already met several players and made great friends. But today was photography class. Because of Chan I was starting to get sick but that was the most interesting class and after I missed music I didn’t wanted to miss this one. On my way to Uni I went for a coffee, my sunglasses on even if there was no sun. I felt more tired and sick to death.

Izzie : Gosh Chan I’m going to kill you, you gave me your freaking flu I feel like I could die!
Chan : I’m sooooo sorry, let’s make it up for missing each other this week, I pay dinner on Friday If we both feel ok?
Izzie : If I’m not dead ok.

Once arrived at Uni
I kept on watching my cup, yawning as I watched my phone with one hand. Bag in-between my leg (it’s St Laurent that bitch ain’t never touching that damn floor) and my cup of coffee hanging low in my hand. I was being nonchalant, I mean I looked nonchalant, I was actually too tired to move!

Once the teacher arrived I made sure to sit where no one would. In the middle of a rang at the back of the class. Most of the students liked to sit in the middle all together with friends. Today I wanted to be left alone since Chan wasn’t here. I sat down while thinking how could I ever leave my bed being sick to my like this, I can only hope this class will be interesting. Around 10 minutes the door of the class opened as someone came in saying sorry and sitting down right next to me after scanning the room. Why me though?

- Hi, he said, as he leans onto me for a second, as I were trying to stay awake. Iscanned him for a second, it’s HIM. What was he doing here? What are you doing here my lady? Those words instantly woke me up from my coma, so he was a flirter, I am not really surprised, but yep, I definitely have zero chance to be with him. Why was I thinking of course I have zero chances with an IDOL as Chan likes to call him.
- Well, I take classes here, I could ask you the same question though. I mean, don’t you have better things to do?
- I like photography and thought it would be nice to take class. I nod in approval of his answer. You didn’t show up to class this week right? He tried his best to hide his interest in me but he really wanted to know me better. Since I entered the class room, I was like nothing he had seen before, I was beautiful to him, I seemed friendly, nice and soft, but at the same time I felt cold, and cool… He liked me.
- Yea my dad called me in, he needed me at his work, he still isn’t fluent in Korean and… yea, I’m sure you had plenty of work on your side with the other students, so… I kind of know… He looked at me his eyes focusing on mine listening to my every word but I had stopped talking, he had founded them bluer then last time, I looked intrigued as I kindly smile, tilt my head to the side and asked calmly, hey, what’s up? Something wrong with my face? He replied evenly calm
- No, it’s just, they look… Blue. I look at him in a strange smile, how could he have seen my eyes were not blue, no how would he even remember the colour of my eyes.
- Indeed, they are more of a greenish brown, he was listening carefully. It’s just I like to change with the mood, so I have lance whenever I feel like I’m in a different mood.
- What mood are you in right now?
- I actually don’t really know, it’s just in my mood, but most of the time, tired, that’s actually a lot of the time, but I felt like it was suiting with my outfit, so I just went all in.
- Oh, yea indeed, it suits you very well. I smiled once again as I tried to understand him. He felt like a very secretive person. I mumbled thanks as I blushed a bit and so did he. We both look away feeling a bit, strange. As we now listened closely to the class, we kept on looking at each other at some point but couldn’t catch each other eyes. We were like teenagers.

At the end of the class, we walked in silence for a bit, not even noticing we had followed each other pass, we were both just too scared to say anything that would ruin something. When he finally had the courage to talk to me again he realised I was few meters away so he run for a bit to catch up on me. I was looking at the grey sky, I love snow and it was going to snow soon. I didn’t look at him but I felt he was next to me
- It’s going to snow, I smiled.
- Yes. I like snow, he looked at me a bit shocked, not really knowing what to answer. What are you doing now? I finally looked at him, smiling
- Hum, I have to go home, we are moving to a new place.
- Oh, that looks like fun, I love to pack, even though I don’t really like to move out. I… Oh, no nothing! I felt stupid.
- What what?
- No, no, it’s nothing, I’m stupid.
- Ahh, don’t do that to me! He looked a bit frustrated
- I forgot you had people leaving with you and was going to ask you if you needed help with your moving out. But then I might be too much, and you probably have other thing then to pass time with one of your students.
- We’re almost the same age, he smiled, I don’t know maybe we need help. You can come with me, we can have a coffee with everyone, he smiled at me. We both stopped walking. I’m going to call say you are coming. Hey, Jiminie, you home? Oh, no? Ok ok, oh… yes, yes oh, ok… Well, I’m coming with a friend, just for a coffee. Aaaah this is not nice, I wasn’t paying attention anymore, I had a call to make myself. No… Ok, thanks. Yes, I know… Yes, I know as well. Please don’t! Oh ok, ok... I’ll see you. He waited a second for me I was still on the phone. I was laughing with my dad. When I hang up looking at him, and I felt really happy. Still a lot sick, but very happy as well.
- So? I asked smiling.

Neon Story : BECOMING SUPERSTAR + DRUNK IN LOVE

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 never saw them.
-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.
-I love your set up, it’s really cool, looks a bit like mine!
- Yea thank you I like it too! And, you can come anytime, I’m always hanging out here so… Feel free
-Thanks you’re very nice, you looked at him, how was he so nice, he turned to his PC, and talked to you
-So, want to listen to one of our new song?
-Yes, most definitely! He made you listen to a song called Dope, it was very cool song! I especially love the hum.. Trumpet, it sound so good, you’re a very good rapper !
-Thanks, I know! You laughed
-Ok, don’t get on your high horse mister body of the year!
-Hang, you looked me up? You checked me up on google!
-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 did check me out as well, nice! You both laughed. And then he got a little serious again
-Come anytime you feel lonely, we are seven you know, one of us for every of your mood! You laugh again!
-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 or drink. And when you feel like bitching around!
-Cool, I’ll think about it, want to join the other, they’ll think it’s weird we hang a long time in here, and dinner might be ready.
-Sure, let’s do this.
