Crystal Snow (Mina)
Tumblr media
A/N: Again, happy new year! Sorry the story is coming out a little bit late, but there it is. An idol OC with the Mina, she's not the secretary anymore. There should be a smut part, actually, but I don't really have the mood to write it, so I just keep the fluff part. Anyway, thanks for your support, and please enjoy.
------------------------------------------------------
Like a wee, crystal star
I should drift, I should blow
  Near, more near,
  To my dear
Where he comes through the snow.
“Snow Song” by Sara Teasdale
11 July, 2019 JYPE Building
Hello, this is JYPE.
This is an announcement regarding the status of Mina’s health.
Mina is currently struggling with sudden extreme anxiety and insecurity towards performing on stage. No exact diagnosis has been identified yet, and we are consulting with several medical professionals to verify the cause in detail.
After extensive discussion with Mina and members of TWICE, we have decided that Mina’s current condition requires additional treatment, professional measures, and sufficient rest. Along with this decision, Mina will not be attending the following schedule:
– TWICE World Tour 2019 “TWICELIGHTS”
Health of our artist is our top priority, so we will do everything possible to provide the best possible measures including medical treatment and sufficient rest for Mina’s recovery.
We ask for the sincere support of fans so that Mina can recover soon.
Thank you.
‘You promised me you won’t let Mina gets hurt! What are you doing?’ Your roar occupies the room, the others try their best to keep their breath as quiet as they can, not wanting to ignite you further.
‘I know, Y/N. But Twice is still growing rapidly, we cannot stop at this moment. Other girl groups are chasing their progress real quick, you know how success Blackpink and IZ*ONE this year. I am really sorry about Mina, but we just… I hope you can understand, Y/N.’ The tone of the CEO seems sad, but you couldn’t feel any on her face.
‘No matter what, you should not make any of the artist overwork or get any injury. Is this what you call JYP Nation? A family? This definitely not a part of the core value of PD nim’s idea.’
‘Park Jin Young xi is not responsible for the management of the artist anymore, the core value he has maybe different with us.’ The CEO still answers in a tone that he seems really not care.
You cannot hold your manner anymore, you punch the desk loudly, ‘If you think we are not important, then I will not renew the contract with JYP after my contract expire next year, I can do nothing but this to protect me and Mina.’
‘Did you consider your members? Did you consider Mina’s career?’ The CEO does not take your threaten seriously. ‘Maybe you should calm down first before we discuss again, we will announce you could not attend any schedule by this year. You should take some rest together with Mina.’
Days after Days, you are forced to see other members to participate the schedule, while you can do nothing. You could only spend more time with Mina, either at your home, or visiting the doctor with her. Mina is recovering really good under the accompany of you, she starts to smile again, she is no longer panic when she is in the crowd. Although she still don’t know what you have sacrificed for her.
You have tried to have a date with her outside, but you found that even both of you are covered in mask and caps, it’s too risky if anyone find out that the members of the National Boy group and Girl group are secretly dating, the massive noises are going to torn Mina that have not been fully recovered from the depression. However, at the new year’s eve, you still decided to bring Mina go out as you know she has dreamt for the new year’s float parade for long time, she is just unavailable due to the tight year end schedule.
The snow has been continuously for 3 days, the whole Seoul are covered in white, you believe that you and Mina will not be spotted on street easily as usual. You turn your head from the window back to the house, Mina has finished the LEGO car you bought her.
‘Dang, Dang.’ Mina sits next to you naturally, showing the LEGO she has just finished. ‘I finished it before we going out, can I get a new one?’ The way she speaks just like a kid asking for rewards from her parents.
‘Yeah, how would I reject Minari, right? Let’s get you a new year gift then.’ You pull her in your arms and kiss her suddenly, you hug her tightly despite she keeps hammering you chest, showing her protest. ‘ I wanna have my new year’s gift first, can I’ Her bouncing chests show that she is still recovering from the fierce kiss. ‘Yah… why are you so naughty…’
‘I don’t know why I am so naughty when I am with you. Perhaps it’s because of love.’ You caress her face lightly, feeling her smile when she hears your confess. ‘You should get some rest before the parade, you must be tired from playing LEGO.’ You put Mina back on the couch and lay your head on her thigh. The silence in the house does not make you feel awkward, instead you are feeling safe than anytime when Mina is next to you. The sleepiness slowly take over your body from the cold, you slowly close your eyes and fall asleep.
You don’t know how long you have been slept, you wake up on her legs again. Mina seems does not notice your awake yet as the book of poems she reads is covering at your face. The smell of the cool cedar aroma surrounding you, all you can hear is the grinding sound of Mina turning the pages of the book from time to time, you just feel every minute is still and peaceful, you close your eyes again.
Mina finally stops after finishing the 11th chapter, she moves her neck to relax a little bit, lower her head to take a peek of you. When she realized you have woke up, she closes the book softly, and look at your features gently.
‘So handsome…’ She told herself, no matter how many times she watches you, her Y/N is still handsome.
‘Mina?’ Not hearing the sounds of turning pages, you open your eyes, then you meet her gentle sight with her smile.
‘I am here.’
‘Why did you stop?’ You return her with a smile.
‘I miss you.’
You are shocked by her direct confession. ‘I didn’t know Minari is good at flirting.’ Seeing she does not refute, you take her hand with a smile and kiss the back of her hand. ‘Which chapters are you watching?’
‘The 11th, Sara Teassdale, “Snow Song”’
‘Can you read it for me?’
‘Sure.’ Mina nods as she smiles, her slim and long fingers open the book again.
“Fairy snow, fairy snow,
Blowing, blowing everywhere.”
“Would that I
Too, could fly
Lightly, lightly through the air.”
Mina studying a poem is always unexpectedly charming, her childhood in America allows her to have good understanding of the American pronunciation, meanwhile her Japanese accent makes it looks cute.
“Like a wee, crystal star
I should drift, I should blow.”
“Near, more near,
To my dear
Where he comes through the snow.”
The snow outside the window is still blooming, and even the occasional whiz of the wind properly matches the situation expressed in the poem. You look at the movement of Mina’s pink lips, her beautiful voice gently entering your ears. You feel so blessed for what you are having right now.
The happiness makes your heart begin to pop, so finally when Mina finished, you get up and hook her neck. ‘Mina.’
‘Umm?’ She puts down the book.
‘We still have a few hours before the parade starts…’ You kiss Mina’s sideburns with a naughty smile. ‘How about we doing something else first?’
Mina only knows what you mean when she feels your hand sneak under her pajamas, the cool touch of your fingertip is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, after stirring up the water named desire, the ripples of soft and indestructible layers appear. Your tender kiss moving from her bridge of the nose down to her lips, Mina’s slender eyelashes uncontrollably quiver with her floating heart.
The air gradually become enchanting, Mina feels herself in a trance that she is farther and farther from the shore, but she is not afraid of it, just…
‘Not here.’ Mina whispers. She only has a moment of clarity after the long kiss is ended, she pushes you away lightly, turn around her head to catch her breath, her ears are notably red.
‘Where should we go then?’ You smirk.
Mina stands up silently, does not uncover your rhetorical spice. She holds your hand, fundus with a faint smile, struggled for a moment but still decide to follow your words. ‘Bedroom, our bed.’
Hearing her answer, you do not hesitate anymore, and directly hug her into your room...
You underestimate the magic of love, when you and Mina arrive the area of parade, it is approaching the end of the event already. You cannot see a single float on the street, although the crowd has not disbanded yet.
‘Sorry…’ You press the cap on your head, and shake Mina’s hand with regret.
‘Umm? Why sorry?’ Mina turns her head at you, asks curiously.
‘We miss this year’s parade because of me… We may not having holiday at next year.’
‘But because of you, every single day of this year I feel so happy.’ Mina interrupts your apology, but you know she is not lying, her smile cannot be covered by her mask. She pull down her mask a little bit to kiss your cheek, and then put her arm around you. ‘Are you hungry? Should we buy some food before returning home?’
‘Sure.’ You happily hook back her arm and walk towards the night market.
Both of you walking past the night market, the bags on your hands are becoming more and more, but you still cannot find the Taiyaki you are looking for. When you thought that you are going to be disappointed tonight, ‘There!’ Mina points to a red sign board at the end of the street, it’s a big Taiyaki sign that signaling they are selling the snack that you have searched for all night.
You take Mina’s hand, walking faster to the shop, but you were soon blocked by two girls standing in your way.
‘Hi! Sorry! Are you Y/N Oppa!?’ One of the girl ask.
‘You must be Y/n Oppa right? We are your fans! We love you very very much! Can we get your autograph?’ Another girl says.
‘Ummm… yeah, thank you for your support.’ You hesitantly look at Mina, you have no idea when she has let go of your hands and waiting aside of you, don’t wanna spotted out by your fans. Her thin feature looks weaker under the street light, you don’t know why you would feel sad suddenly.
You take the pen that your fan give you, wanting to finish the little autographing session as soon as possible, so you can bring Mina leaving here. However, right after you finished signing for that two fans, more fans arrived and soon you are surrounded. ‘Y/N Oppa! I love you so much!’
‘Thank you, thanks a lot for your support. I really gonna go now, happy new year and please keep supporting ADDiction next year.’ Until your hands start to feel tired, you finally decided to reject the newcomers, you give a bow and turn around to leave quickly.
‘Mina!’ You look around nervously, but you can’t find the figure of your love. You bite your lips regretfully, totally forgot your could contract her with your phone. You keep running on the road, shouting Mina’s name occasionally.
‘Perhaps Mina has returned to home already?’ You told yourself, not hesitating anymore and run to the direction of your home. Even the light of the Taiyaki sign is still shining brightly, all you want now is to catch Mina on her way.
You get closer and closer to the Taiyaki shop, you find a familiar figure coming out from the store. ‘Mina!’
Mina could hear your calling right after she leaves the store, she looks at the direction of the sound, all she see is you are flying to her. Mina feels this scene is kind of familiar, she moves her lips, just trying to ask you did anything just happened, the next second she already feels herself hugged in your arms tightly.
No one knows how long did you two hugging, the warm sensation of the embrace magnified her senses, she dazed for a second, finally understand why the scene right now is so familiar to her.
It' s the scene of the 11th poem. Should she do the same thing as the poem for next?
'Can I kiss you?’ Mina did not even wait for your answer, she grabs your face and kisses you with a smile. Mina’s kiss just like winter snow falling on shoulder, soft, cool and delicate. At the moment when the whole world is filled with snow, you suddenly recalled the 11th poem from this morning.
At the last day of 2019, you once again determined that, Mina will be the only snow for the rest of your life.
I should fly to my love
Like a flake in the storm,
I should die,
I should die,
On her lips that are warm.

STORYBOOK ENT. REVEALS ALL SEVEN MEMBERS OF NEW MINISERIES, PHANTASIE BOYS
Posted by OmniscientAuthor • January 26, 2024
Throughout the past two weeks, Storybook Entertainment has been steadily releasing each member of their- still unnamed- new boy group, in preparation for the PHANTASIE BOYS YouTube miniseries.
All the current information we have on the members has been sourced from official Storybook Entertainment posts, old social media accounts, and some word of mouth. Here is all of that information repackaged:
Tumblr media
Birth Name: Sasaki Shoji (佐々木正治)
Stage Name: Shoji (쇼지)
Birthday: March 4th, 2000
Birthplace: Tokyo, Japan
Ethnicity: Japanese
Nationality: Japanese
Height: 5'10” (178cm)
Face Claim: Osaki Shotaro (RIIZE)
Shoji grew up taking dance classes, and as he grew older, he dreamed of becoming an idol. However, after failing multiple auditions, that dream seemed far out of his reach. That is, until he was scouted in 2021 by Storybook Entertainment. He dropped out of university- where he was studying dance- in order to chase his dream of becoming a K-pop idol in Korea.
Tumblr media
Birth Name: Lǚ Míng Tāo (呂明涛)
Stage Name: Mingtao (밍타오)
Birthday: November 3rd, 2000
Birthplace: New Taipei City, Taiwan
Ethnicity: Taiwanese
Nationality: Taiwanese
Height: 6’0” (181cm)
Face Claim: Liu Yangyang (NCT)
Mingtao's father insisted on putting him in dance classes at an early age. This proved useful as the boy would grow into an extremely gifted dancer, being accepted into the National Taipei University of Arts for a 7 year degree programme at just 15 years old. During his time at the school, he had been scouted multiple times but turned down every offer in favour of finishing his education. In 2022, Mingtao finally graduated and moved to Korea to train at SBE.
Tumblr media
Birth Name: Lee Jin-Ho (이진호)
Stage Name: Jinho (진호)
Birthday: April 9th, 2001
Birthplace: Andong, Korea
Ethnicity: Korean
Nationality: Korean
Height: 5’8” (175cm)
Face Claim: Lee Heesung (ENHYPEN)
Jinho has seemingly always loved music growing up, as he began learning guitar at only six years old and formed an indie band during his middle school years. After graduating in 2019, Jinho joined a different entertainment company before moving over to Storybook Entertainment in 2021.
Tumblr media
Birth Name: Yú Hào Rán (於浩然)
Stage Name: Haoran (하오란)
Birthday: July 7th, 2002
Birthplace: Guangzhou, China
Ethnicity: Chinese
Nationality: Chinese
Height: 5’9” (177cm)
Face Claim: Zhong Chenle (NCT)
Haoran grew up as a theatre kid, but he was also a big fan of K-pop groups like Exo. Thanks to his excellent voice, Haoran was accepted into SM ENTERTAINMENT in 2018. He moved to Korea after that, training with the company for around four years before leaving in 2022 to join SBE.
Tumblr media
Birth Name: Jason Lee
Stage Name: Jason (제이슨)
Birthday: September 19th, 2002
Birthplace: Los Angeles, USA
Ethnicity: Korean
Nationality: American
Height: 5’9 (177cm)
Face Claim: Choi Taeyang (P1Harmony)
During Jason's highschool years, he danced both in and out of school, and his love for performing made him dream of becoming an idol. When he finally graduated in 2020, he joined JYPE and trained there for three years, even working as a backup dancer during the later years of his stay. Jason moved to SBE in 2023.
Tumblr media
Birth Name: Yang Do-Won (양도원)
Stage Name: Dowon (도원)
Birthday: December 2nd, 2002
Birthplace: Seoul, South Korea
Ethnicity: Korean
Nationality: Korean
Height: 6'1” (185cm)
Face Claim: Yoon Hyunsuk (CIX)
Despite being encouraged to play sports like basketball due to his height, Dowon prefered to spend his free time writing raps under stage name YONDER. He auditioned for SBE with a self written rap in 2021 and was accepted into the company.
Tumblr media
Birth Name: Kim Tae-Joon (김태준)
Stage Name: Taejoon (태준)
Birthday: August 11th, 2003
Birthplace: Seoul, South Korea
Ethnicity: Korean
Nationality: Korean
Height: 5’9” (175cm)
Face Claim: Park Sungho (BOYNEXTDOOR)
Kim Taejoon is an ex-child actor and model who disappeared from the entertainment industry in 2020 and has been completely MIA for the past three years, except for a few public sightings. According to the official post, he became a trainee in 2021, but there is no other information about him regarding his trainee life or his history in dance/singing.

DATING HISTORY | Maya
The dating history of TWICE's Maya from 2011 until 2019. None of these relationships have ever been revealed to the public and fans aren't aware of it.
Seo Youngho - Johnny (2011-2013) 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They dated when they were both trainees at SME. Johnny straight up didn't care that trainees couldn't date each other, but Jieun was a bit more apprehensive when he asked her out on a date. She liked him a lot, but didn't want to risk her chance of debuting because of a boy. 
Eventually, she warmed up to the idea and the other trainees even helped them hide the fact that they were dating from the staff and teachers. That went well for a good year, until a girl snitched on them because she liked Johnny and found out Jieun was his girlfriend. The staff made them break up and they did. Well, they pretended they did and only told their very close friends that they were still together. 
They broke up a couple of months before she left SM. There wasn't a big main reason why they broke up, it was just that they grew apart and didn't see why they should continue their relationship. Johnny thought for a long time it was his fault when she transferred to JYPE and he kinda wished she stayed. 
They're not on bad terms, but they're not friends either. She'll give him a smile and a hello when they meet backstage somewhere, but it stays at that. 
Kim Seokwoo - Rowoon (2014-2015) 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They were so smitten with each other, it was absolutely adorable. He considers her his first love, despite not being his first girlfriend.
One time, she was quite sick and he spent 2 hours on the bus just to bring her homemade food to make her feel better. Truly an attentive gentleman (he talked about this on national television, not mentioning Jieun, tho).
They broke up, because she was about to join Sixteen in order to debut. She almost couldn't even do it, because she knew how heartbroken he would be. He understood and said he would continue to support her quietly from behind the screen.
Whenever he's asked about his ideal type he always says ''Someone who is tall and looks good in his eyes.'' Baby, you're just thinking about Miss Kim Jieun. He still writes songs about her, I think that tells you enough about how much this dude loved her. 
They're still on good terms, mainly due to their break-up being caused by external factors and not internal ones. 
Cho Seungyoun - Woodz (2018-2019) 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The definition of he fell first and he fell even harder. He had a huge crush on her and Jamie (Park Jimin) set them up on a blind date (it was a blind date on Jieun's side, Seungyoun was fully aware of who he was meeting). Jieun was infatuated with him, loved his gentle personality and soft demeanour. Despite her 3 year ban on dating not being over yet, she still went for it. 
He always described her as his muse. His favourite songs always happen to be about her or were inspired by her. He was just so proud of the fact that she was his girlfriend. Not because she was Maya of Twice, but because to him she is the most beautiful person in the world. 
Much to their friends' surprise, Seungyoun was the one to end their relationship. He was going through a very hard time mentally and didn't want Jieun to suffer because of it. His plan kind of failed, cause girlie went through it, but she understood why he did it. When he got better, he regretted breaking up with her, cause he realised how much he actually needed her in his life. 
It took a while for them to become friends after their relationship ended. Mainly, because Jieun had a hard time with their break-up and still felt a lot of pain seeing him. She contacted him after the disbandment of X1 was announced, wanting to check up on him. They met up and had a long, emotional talk about life. 
:: 'Pool' by Woodz is written about Maya and 'Last Waltz' by Twice is written about Seungyoun.

Hii queen new to your blog hehehe and happy new year and merry Christmas
I have request do you think yg entertainment will debut a global girl or just American girl group like how jype vcha and hybe Geffen dream academy
In the future like next year or 2026
Hi!
Happy New Years and Merry Late Christmas to you ★
Now, onto the readings…I want to warn you that while I did the reading, there were some disruptions. The cards weren’t cooperating with me. This might imply that YG Entertainment is experiencing the same issue. But, hey that’s just my intuition.
Remember to also take this as a grain of salt.
So, here’s the answer to your curiosity.
- YG is likely to take a more cautious and strategic approach to their future girl group debut. They might not follow the exact path of VCHA or Geffen, but rather forge their own unique path to global success.
- YG's global ambitions might face obstacles, possibly due to internal struggles or a crowded market.
They might still feel that lingering feeling of success from BLACKPINK and wanted to retain it, but couldn’t. So, they were most likely focusing on BLACKPINK instead of planning to debut a global girl group.
- YG might have previously been uninspired by the global girl group concept, but something has recently shifted their perspective.
I think they were too focused on BLACKPINK and debuting BabyMonster. They were probably just trying their best to debut what they planned as the “next BLACKPINK”. So, the plan to debut the global girl group was most likely out of the picture. But the response to BabyMonster is not as good as they expected or aren’t fulfilling enough for the “higher ups”. This could be one of their reasons to consider debuting a global girl group.
- YG might reconsider their initial approach and adjust their strategy, either by embracing a global vision or finding value in a more focused debut.
- At this time, YGE might be in period of careful planning and strategizing, focusing on building a strong foundation for their future girl group before launching them onto the global stage. This could mean debuting a Korean girl group with a focus on expanding the market to America. They might use the same strategy as they did with BLACKPINK.
By Korea, it’s most likely BabyMonster. (As for now the energy is towards BMon).
Honestly, YGE is somewhat frustrated. Perhaps, it got to do with BLACKPINK contract and BabyMonster lack of public response.
Overall, the combination of these cards suggests that YG's future global girl group debut is still uncertain. While they might have initially planned to follow JYP or HYBE's global model, they are likely facing internal challenges and re-evaluating their approach.
The Hermit card indicates that they are prioritizing internal growth and preparation before making a public move. This could lead to a more unique and authentic debut, even if it takes longer than expected.
So, maybe? Maybe right now they’re planning things for a global girl group. However, a global girl group could just mean expanding BabyMonster market or debuting a Korean girl group in hope to receive the same positive response as BLACKPINK. Well, they did announce that they will hold a national (in South Korea) audition to look for trainees who has BLACKPINK and Big Bang quality.
Will YG debut a global girl group in 2024? Judgement (Reversed).
- It’s a no. They’re probably focusing on BMon.
Will YG debut a global girl group in 2026? 5 of Pentacles (Reversed), Ace of Wands (Reversed), and The Hierophant (Reversed).
The cards lean towards a NO for a global girl group debut in 2026, but with the caveat that they might be laying the groundwork for something impactful later, potentially with a more unique twist on the "global girl group" concept.
This is my opinion. I think YG would focus more on what they already plan for this year and ahead. The idea is there, but I doubt that it will happen. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to debut a global girl group in 2026 lies with YG.

Coffee Break Pairing: Han Jisung x f!reader (Y/N) Genre: Fluff, Soulmate AU Content Warning: None A/N: Sister requested I write this one for her. It's a little silly, but enjoy it! Let me know if y'all want more.
I can’t believe it’s already been a month, you think to yourself, your feet on autopilot as you stroll along the streets of Seoul. It was a hard decision to leave your life behind in your home country, using your life’s savings to pursue your dream career, but the idealist in you knows it was the right choice for the sake of your own happiness. The days you aren’t holed up in your cubicle or working from a cafe are spent exploring, doing all the things a tourist would do when visiting a new place; there was the National Museum, Gwangjang Market, Bukchon Hanok Village, all things you had put on your bucket list to see years ago while you were still at university. For as much as there was to do in Seoul, however, there were only a few days a week you could spend seeing the sights. Most days were spent in the cubicle or finding nearby cafes to work in. 
Most people would expect that pursuing your passion would be fun and exciting, but you couldn’t deny that you had been lonely and a little more depressed than usual. It was hard, harder than you had imagined it would be. You’ve been so busy with work and travel, that you simply haven’t had the time to go out and meet new friends, and you’ve been kicking yourself for that. These things come with time. Lately, your only saving grace has been music. Throwing your headphones on and drowning out the worries that have plagued you over the last few weeks has kept your energy high despite the overwhelming loneliness of a new city. 
진짜로 수고했다 이제 꽃길만 걷자  The songs pumping through her headphones seem to bookend the thoughts you’ve been having. You’ve done a good job, now let’s walk along the flowery path. You decide to take Han Jisung’s words to heart. You HAVE done a good job; you landed a job at the Webtoon office, working in communications and translation. You’ve learned a whole new language in only a few years. You chose a path and you made it happen. Now wasn’t the time for stormy thoughts or suffering in loneliness.
(A/N: I am well aware the Webtoon office is far away from JYPE but this is what my sister wanted. JUST PRETEND.)
You often hit up Starbucks in the mornings on days when you would normally have worked from home. You sometimes couldn’t focus on working in your small, dark apartment. It’s close to the JYPE building, and the irony of listening to Stray Kids while walking passed it isn’t lost on you. It seems a little silly, given your age, but on some occasions, the thought of a happenstance meeting with one of them does float through your mind. Daydreams never hurt anyone, but she would never stoop so low as the gaggle of young girls who spent their mornings waiting in front, photocards and albums in hand waiting to be signed. You scoot through the crowd, bowing your head slightly and smiling awkwardly as you push through to the cafe entrance.
You order the same drink every day: a white mocha with oat milk, and an extra shot of espresso. The baristas are starting to recognize you, some even putting in your order before you make it to the register. Your usual spot by the window is open, and you pull your laptop and charger from your bag before settling in. You turn the music up on your iPhone and get into the zone. It hasn’t even been an hour before a wave of fatigue hits you like a punch in the gut, stretching your arms over your head and squeezing your eyes shut to get the blood flowing through your tired bones. Mid stretch, your eyes reopen, and you feel a shock to your system. Han Jisung, whose voice you were just listening to, has walked in. You gasp loudly, attempting to cover the sound with a spluttering cough, covering your face as you do so. 
Celebrity sightings were fairly commonplace in your hometown of Los Angeles. You’d held enough retail and restaurant jobs that sightings didn’t necessarily shock you anymore, and for the most part, you were more than able to deal with them as you would any customer. But you weren’t in LA anymore, you weren’t in a customer service job, and this wasn’t just a celebrity, he was your bias. You could feel the heat creeping into your cheeks, attempting with every fiber of your being to continue as normal… But you catch yourself staring more than once. And, to your horror, he’s noticed. 
Jisung makes his way toward you, the baristas apparently working on his drink. He bends at the waist, but you’ve zoned out, so he waves his hand in front of your face. It takes a moment before you come back to reality with a strange yelp. He giggles at you with his signature wide, toothy grin. “Sorry! Are you okay?”
You slap your cheeks a few times. “Uh, yeah! Fine! Just a little tired, that’s all,” you leave your hands where they are in a vain attempt to cover the flush rising in your face. 
Jisung glances over at your nearly untouched, lukewarm coffee, and pushes it toward you. “You should finish this, it seems like you need it.”
“Uh, yeah, thanks,” you look down at your drink as he begins to walk away.
He stops and turns to face you again. “See you around!”
As he leaves the cafe, you hurriedly pack your things to leave, no longer able to bare the chagrin of the moment. Out of every interaction you had ever imagined, this was not the way you expected things to turn out. You had turned into a puddle rather than looking cool and sexy the way you had in your mind. It’s simply not processing as you flag down a taxi and head back to your apartment. In fact, it still doesn’t process and only serves to haunt you for the rest of the day. Around midnight, when you know your sister has woken up for work in the US, you call her, recounting every painful detail to her. All she does is laugh at you, but you kind of expected that. It doesn’t help matters at all, and that night, you hardly sleep. 
You had planned to go back to the usual Starbucks this morning, but under the circumstances, it’s only natural you would hesitate. Still, you had fallen into a routine you enjoyed and after several ponderous moments, you decide to go anyway. The weather today was beautiful and perfect for a walk. 
The usual gaggle of school girls in front of the towering entertainment company had gone already, so the walk to the coffee shop was more relaxing than usual. You walk in to order your coffee and turn around to meander your way to your usual spot, which happens to be taken. The figure waves you down as you set your path to finding a new spot. The bespectacled man wearing a mask and basket hat scoots over to the next chair to allow you to sit down. “Thanks,” you mumble to the stranger, pulling your laptop and charging cable out to get back into the zone.
“Hi Noona,” he says, pulling his mask down slightly and winking at you. 
Your eyes widen, and you bow your head to him, nearly smashing it on the cafe’s bar table. Han Jisung sits beside you with a very large iced americano in his hand, toothy grin and all.
“Someone was sitting in your spot earlier, but when they left I decided to save it for you!” He says quickly. His Korean is so fast you barely managed to catch what he says. “I know, I’m a pretty nice guy,” he says in English with a bizarre accent that sounds somewhere between British, Australian, and American. He squeezes his eyes shut, smiling wide and looking all too proud of himself. “This is your usual spot, right?”
“Uh… yeah, I…” you start before trailing off. You resolve to be a bit more confident this time. It’s not every day you get to talk to your bias one-on-one. “Yeah, I sit here every day.” You smile at him with what you hope looks more self-assured than you feel. “Thank you for saving it for me. My name is Y/N,” you hold out a hand for a handshake.
“You have a pretty name! Han Jisung,” he says, shaking your hand vigorously. 
“I know,” you blurt out, not thinking quite clearly. You clap your hand over your mouth, “sorry, I just mean that it’s nice to meet you in person.” Flustered, you let his hand go and raise it to brush some hair away from your face.
“Ohhh, STAY?” He says, smiling from ear to ear. “Where are you from? What are you doing here?”
You take a few moments to tell him that you grew up in LA and moved here to work at Naver Webtoon. The two of you chat for a bit about the perks of reading various webtoons before they release in America, and about his time spent in LA for tours and media recording. 
Your shyness seems to melt away the longer the two of you talk. He may be world-famous, but he seems so… normal and down to earth. Chatting with him is more relaxing than awkward, though you do have to actively work to suspend your disbelief and your crippling social anxiety.
“I’m sorry,” he waves his hand to your laptop which has sat untouched for nearly an hour. “Am I keeping you from your work?”
“No, no, not at all,” you wave your own hand at it dismissively. “I am sure I am keeping you from yours,” you look pointedly at the phone sitting face down on the table. It’s been vibrating over and over for the better part of the last 15 minutes. No doubt this was one of the members trying to figure out where Jisung had vanished.
“It’s nice to have a little break to feel normal every once in a while,” he smiles warmly at you. “I enjoyed talking with you this morning. You’re right though, I should get going,” he stands up, moving the mask back up over his chin and nose. “Then, I’ll leave first,” he bows slightly to you, and you nod your head in response. He heads toward the door, turns to wave at you once more, and exits.
You lean your head back, a gusty sigh escaping your lips. It’s been a long time since you’ve had a conversation with anyone other than your coworkers or late-night phone calls with your sister in the US. You did have to admit that you were feeling much less stressed after spending time with Jisung, but it was time to buckle down and get some work done on these translations. 
Hours pass as you concentrate on your work. You wave down the baristas a few times, needing help with some localizations; there were idioms and references that would be lost on an English-speaking audience that needed some explanation from people who knew them. As always, they were more than willing to give their input and always did so with a helpful smile. Looking down at the tiny digital clock on your laptop, you realize it’s gotten late. The sun is just starting to duck under the horizon of the towering buildings ahead of you, and you decide it's time to pack up and get going. 
Your stomach starts to growl as you begin your walk home, so you decide to take a stroll through Olympic Park. There was a teokbokki tent there run by the sweetest ajumma that she liked to eat at every once in a while. This tent in particular was a little out of the way, so it was generally pretty quiet around this time of the evening. When you arrive to order her food, there is only one other group sitting down to eat. You place your order and take a seat on the opposite side with your back to them, allowing them their privacy. 
“Twice in one day?” A voice exclaims from behind you, and you hear movement from the other side of the tent before a figure plops down beside you. “Noona!” Jisung exclaims.
The other two figures make their way over, joining their brother. Chris Bang and Seo Changbin sit opposite you on the table. “You know her?” Chris says to Jisung, a quizzical expression on his face. 
Changbin stares for a moment before his eyes widen. “Is this the pretty cafe noo–”
Jisun kicks Changbin in the shin under the table. He doesn’t bother to hide it. Chris looks confused and seems to be entirely out of the loop in this matter. Your expression mirrors that of Chris. 
Jisung clears his throat. “Ah, Hyung, this is Y/N, I met her the other day at the Starbucks by the company,” his full cheeks flush lightly and he blinks his eyes rapidly.
You suddenly become very self-conscious, looking around behind you.
“Don’t worry,” Chris says in accented English. “This place is usually pretty safe for us around this time. There are not many people around here, yeah?” He flattens his lips together in a reassuring wolf-chan smile. You could see what your sister saw in him. You couldn’t wait to brag about this. Your sister was going to be thoroughly jealous.
As you all stuff teok into your mouths, the three producers seem to ask you a thousand questions about yourself, your family, and your work. Jisung looks like he’s absorbing the information like a sponge. You talk about your favorite songs, and other music you enjoy, and you ask them just as many questions as they do. The sun has vanished from the sky and darkened to reveal pinprick stars above. Your sister would be waking up soon and you didn’t want to miss the short period before she would have to clock in for work and inevitably be stuck in a two-hour meeting, so you stand to excuse yourself.
“Oh, are you walking home?” Chris asks. “Why don’t we walk you home?” Chris looks pointedly at Jisung, raising his brows to his hairline.
“Yeah, we can walk you home!” Jisung blurts. 3RACHA stands up from the table, waving to the ajumma who waves back with a smile. They dawn their disguises (hats and masks were pretty effective at night, you realize at that moment), and the four of you make your way out of the park together.
Conversation ping pongs between the small pack, the boys talking to each other, and then to you, and so on. As you approach your apartment building, you look to the three and say “Ah, this is me, I’ll go first!”
They all stop in their tracks, voices trailing off.
“This is… also us?” Changbin says incredulously. 
The door attendant waves at you, and bows to the men standing beside you before pulling the door open. The expression of bewilderment hasn’t left their faces yet. You walk to the elevator, and enter, pressing the button for your floor. “Which floor are you going to?”
Chris answers you, bemused. “You just pressed it.”
The ride up to the floor is quiet, the four of you completely dumbstruck. As you arrive at your floor, you pull your key out and unlock the door beside the elevator door, and the boys continue on a few more doors down. You exchange glances, bows, and goodnights before entering your respective homes. You poke your head out, and you see Jisung do the same, waving at you before shutting the door.
Now you really needed to call your sister. She was going to lose it.
Your sister answers the phone, yawning. “Dude, you called me before my alarm went off. This better be important, I really needed that extra hour.”
You explain the situation to your sister, and she doesn’t respond for a long time. “Are you still awake?” You grumble at her.
“I am… processing. Literally what the fuck? Did you like, not give my number to Bang Chan? I’m feeling really betrayed right now. Did you at least ask him to rerelease Alchemistry?”
“That’s all you got out of this? Are you fucking kidding me?” You growl at her.”I’m literally losing my mind right now! They’re going to think I’m a stalker!”
Once she gets over the ultimate betrayal of her sister, the two of you calmly discuss where to go next. The only advice she can give you is to just get close to them and show that you can be trusted. There’s nothing else she can offer you that would make you feel any better. It was a weird situation to be sure. As the conversation comes to a close, she offers you one last question: “What would you do… if he fell for you?”
“I don’t know.” The question lingers in your head long after you hang up the phone. At some point, you stop entertaining the thought. It wasn’t going to happen, and you were okay with that.
The next morning was a Saturday. The weekend— finally. You decide this weekend is not a good time for any more excitement, at that, it would be better just to relax at home for once. Tourist attractions would be there next weekend, and she wasn’t in a rush. Instead, you decided enough is enough and you can no longer subsist on ramyeon alone. You throw on some baggy, comfy clothes, and decided to ditch your contacts in favor of glasses. You grab your purse, and head to the elevator to head out. You flit your eyes about the hallway in an attempt to ensure you’re not being followed and no one sees you leave. A door opens down the hallway, and you feel your whole body freeze. 
“Noona! Where are you going?” Jisung skips toward you and stands to wait for the elevator as well.
“Where are you going?” She blurts out in response.
The two pause, and at the same time, both exclaim “groceries!”
“Wow, we can go together! Won’t that be so fun?” He says in his silly English accent. “Look how cute you are!” He says, tugging on the sleeve of your baby pink sweatshirt.
You cross your arms and pout, embarrassment written across your face. The elevator door opens and the two of you enter together.
You could almost hear a crow fly past in the awkward silence of the descent to the first floor. The silence is broken suddenly as Jisung slams his hand on the elevator’s stop button. The lights dim slightly and the elevator halts between floors.
“Han,” you say incredulously. “What are you doing?”
“Noona, you don’t have to be shy around me. Don’t you like me too?” You hesitate to respond, eyes glued to the floor. He leans down to meet you at eye level. “Noona, look at me, you like me, right?”
You look up into his big eyes and realize he’s much closer to your face than you thought. “I just don’t want you to feel like I’m stalking you. I promise you I’m not following you on purpose!” 
“I mean, I’m following you on purpose,” he stands up straight, scratching his head. “I never go to that Starbucks anymore except to see you.” He looks up at the ceiling, pursing his lips and puffing out his cheeks. He couldn’t look more like an overgrown quokka if he tried.
You can’t help but smirk at this. “I do like you, Jisung. I’m just a shy person, don’t take it personally.” 
“Well,” he starts, putting an arm around your shoulders. “You’ll get used to me. You can’t really avoid me since I live down the hall.” He dawns on his idol disguise before pressing the STOP button again, bringing the elevator back to life. “Let’s get some food!”
