I got back to my dorm around 3:00 PM, training starts in an hour. I walked in and heard someone in the kitchen. I followed my ears and saw a tall Asian girl with long black hair. I cleared my throat and she turned around.

"Oh, you must be my roommate," she said with a thick accent. She smiled and bowed, "My name is Saito Miyako. You call me Miyako-chan."
"Okay, my name is Melissa, you can just call me Lissa," I bowed and smiled.
"Hai, Lisa-chan, you like ramen?" she asked, I was about to correct her about my name but her accent was just too cute I let it slide.
"I do, why?" I replied.
"I make ramen, I will get a bowl for you," she said.
"Oh, you don't have to," I said, "Take care of yourself, not me."
"Ie, ie, I want to make you bowl," she said.
"Okay, if you want to," I said, giving up, "but please make it a small one."
"Hai, hai, we have to have full tummy for training," she said with a kind smile.
"Maybe not a FULL stomach, but you are right about us needing food," I said.
"Here," she said already handing me a bowl of ramen. I think our ideas of 'small' are very different.
"Hey, do you know someone named Namjoon that works here?" I inquired. Miyako's eyes widened.
"Namjoon, you mean Rap Monster? He raps for Bangtan Sonyeondan," she said. Bangtan Sonyeondan? Oh wait, are they Bangtan Boys? I've heard of them but I never actually listened to their music.
"Oh really? That's cool," I replied, but thought nothing else of it and started talking about something else.

About a half hour later, I left my dorm to go to training. I left the Big Hit dorms and got on a train that was way too packed.

"Hey there," I heard a familiar voice behind me. I looked up and saw the same blond hair I saw this morning-er-this afternoon standing behind me, pressed up against me because the train was so packed.
"Oh! Um, Namjoon, right?" I asked.
"You remember me!" he joked.
"Of course!" I played along, "Anyway, where are you going?"
"The trainee building. The company wanted me to help some kids so here I am," he said
"Oh, that's cool. I hope it's not too difficult for you," I said.
"Yeah, I hope so too," he replied. Just then the train stopped and we both got off.
"I can walk with you to the trainee building," Namjoon offered.
"Sure," I said, taking his offer.
"You know, now that I think about it, I'll probably be teaching you Korean." he said nonchalantly.
"Oh, really?" I said, my chest tightening a bit.
"Yeah, I'll be looking forward to teaching you," he smiled and I immediately smiled back.
"Yeah, it sounds like it'll be fun," I replied.

Training flew by. Namjoon was right, he is teaching me and a few others Korean, and he's a really good teacher too. When I finally got back from training, though, I was completely exhausted. I jumped on my bed and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
