I walk some distance down the street, making my way to SM Entertainment, using Naver Maps. After asking some kind passer-byers on how to get to SM Entertainment, they pointed me in the right direction. They even took time from their regular commute to walk me to SM Entertainment. Aww, these people are the sweetest. I look around the SM Entertainment building, noticing that there is a playground just across the narrow street, in front of the building. That's cute. I bet that's what Welcome To My Playground by NCT 127 was written about, haha. Well, anyways, I walk into the building after wandering around a bit.

I make my way to the café where I order myself an NCT themed coffee. It is called the TOUCH coffee, which is based on The NCT 2018 song, TOUCH, and it is quite cute, being pastel pink and all. Ah, I love it a lot. They also had another coffee called Black on Black, referencing to the song of the same title. I'm assuming it's a straight black coffee, which is personally my least favorite coffee. That is why I went with the TOUCH coffee. I sit in the café for a long while, sipping on my coffee, scrolling through the selfies San and I took. I will never get over how cute these selfies are. I may even make one of them my lockscreen.

When I finish my coffee, I walk around the building for a bit. I spot the elevators which have cute drawings of the SM FRNZ on them. I just have to take the elevator up to see the practice rooms or studios that these incredible artists use. I don't wanna seem like that creepy fan who tries to invade on an idol's personal space and work, I'm just curious of what the practice rooms and studios look like. I pop into a few empty practice rooms because I know I won't be disturbing anyone by doing it this way. I was tempting to knock on one of the rooms that had people in it, but I got too shy, and walked away. What really drew me back to that practice room was that I heard a WayV song being played and members dancing along to the song. They are also very loud, so I know this is none other than, my WayV boys.

I wait until the music stops, then politely knock on the door. A few members look out at me through the little door window, wondering who might be trying to come in. I take a step back so I don't seem threatening. Finally, Ten opens the door.
"Who are you?" He asks.
"Oh, sorry for invading on your practice session, but I'm a huge fan of WayV. I just didn't want to interrupt your practice, so I waited until you had a moment." I said.
"You're WayZeni? Ah, please come in." Ten said, welcoming me in with open arms.
"You're not gonna question me for being here?" I asked.
"Well, I saw you walk by multiple times. I could see that you didn't want to disturb us, and that's very respectful of you. I appreciate that, so I believe you're not like. . . A stalker or sasaeng." Ten explained.
"Oh. Yeah, I would never want to come off as creepy or disturb you." I said.
"Very good. Ah, allow me to introduce you. Guys! This is one of our fans. What is your name?" Ten asked.
"Ah, right. I'm Raeshel, but if it's easier, you can call me Shelly. I also go by a Korean name, Lee Heejung." I said.
"Nice to meet you, Shelly." YangYang said.
"Ah, you're very cute." Xiaojun said.
I blush, hearing that from one of the prettiest WayV members.
"Where are you from?" Kun asked.
"America. I'm actually doing my spring semester of sophomore year at Yonsei University. I got approved for foreign exchange here." I said.
"Ah, I see." Kun said.
"Uh, I wanted to talk to YangYang for so long because. . . Ich spreche Deutsch." I said(I speak German)
"Ah~ Sprichst du Deutsch? Zur gut." YangYang said with a smile(Can you speak German? Very good)
"Ja, ich habe Deutsch gelernt. Ich habe für drei Jahren in der Schule gelernt." I explained(Yeah, I learned German. I studied for three years in high school)
"Zur zur gut. Hast du ein Deutsches Eltern?" YangYang asked(Do you have a German parent?)
"Ja, mein Vater ist Deutsch, aber er hat Amerikaner Eltern." I said(Yeah, my dad is German, but he has American parents)
"Was? Wie?" YangYang asked(What? How?)
"Okay. My dad was born in Germany, to an American soldier and my grandma. Back then, he still had to do the citizenship test to become American, but he was considered German until he took the test at 10 years old." I explained.
"Ah, very interesting. What about your mom?" YangYang asked.
"She's Filipino." I said.
"Ah, that explains a lot." Ten said.
"Huh, what do you mean?" I asked.
"I mean, you look like you could be, hmm, at least half Filipino." Ten said.
"Yeah, fun fact, I have half Thai and half Filipino cousins who still live in Thailand, but they're much older than me." I said.
"My gosh, sister. We're 100% related." Ten jokes.
"Ha, I wish." I said, laughing along.
"Other than German, what languages do you know?" YangYang asked, very curious of me.
"Ah. I studied Korean on my own for. . . 3 years and 3 months now. I know a bit of Spanish from hearing it spoken so much back home. At one point, I tried learning Japanese, but it was really hard. Hmm, what else? I know how to say 'Hi' and 'I love you' in Mandarin Chinese. I know how to introduce myself in French. I know a bit of Swedish from learning the Happy Birthday song in Swedish. Let's say I know a little bit of Tagalog, my mom's language, and the other dialect called Visayan. I know a little bit of everything." I said.
"Oh, wow. You're ahead of me." Ten said, thinking back on how he is fluent in 5 languages. Then, he continued on to ask, "คุณพูดภาษาไทยได้ไหม?"
"Umm. . . Thai? I can't understand a word, but the only one I know is หวัดดี." I said.
"That's still good. Knowing many languages can help you very much." Ten said.
