<After school>

Girl: Hey Girl Friend, do you want to hang out at the mall today. I wanted to get some things and chat with you. Girl Friend: Sure, ok. <They headed out to the mall>

G: So have you heard from your college yet? GF: I didn't get in. What about you?

G: I don't know where to begin. I think I'm going insane. GF: What happened?  G: I got accepted.  GF: OMG, that's your dream to be a cardiologist. You did it. Your parents must be so proud of you.  Why aren't you happy?

G: I feel like my life has just come crashing down. This has never happened to me before.  I've been infected with something worse than Covid. GF: OMG, do you need to go to the hospital? 

G: The contagion penetrated my heart.  No one has had an effect on me like he does. GF: Who? What happened?  GF: I'm so embarrassed. I don't know what to do. GF: It's ok, we've been best friends since 3rd grade, you can tell me anything.

G: Promise, you won't tell anyone. GF: Of course. G: Well, after I got my acceptance letter, I was so elated. My parents were out and I tried calling you. I needed to tell someone. I went online to chat and then watched a few TikToks, but then I came across him, I just watched him over and over for hours looking at all his TiKToks. I was hooked, he stared into my soul.

The next thing I knew I had to research everything about him, who he was, what he did, where he was, etc. GF: So who is he?  G: Ugh, I'm so embarrassed, I've never had a crush like this before. But this is more than that. It's destiny. He's calling me. He's a kpop idol. I can't believe it. We are a world apart. Different languages, cultures, interests. I don't even know anything about kpop. GF: What's that? G: You know BTS. GF: Oh, yeah. That's right. The Korean boyband. You like one of them? G: Not BTS, but someone from Enhypen. GF: Enhypen?

G: They're from the same company Hybe. They're a rookie monster kpop group that debuted last year. Here.  <shows the band on her phone> GF: Which one? G: <points> This one, his name is Sunghoon. GF: OMG He's gorgeous. But this one is more my style. <points> G: This one is Jake. GF: Is he mixed? G: I don't think so, he's Australian. They're best friends. GF: Like us. What a coincidence? So what's wrong?

G: I want him. GF: Sure, you can be a fan and support him. G: No, I want to marry him. I'm serious. GF: What? Get real. You have nothing in common. G: I know. I can't function now. All I want to do is align my goals with his. Do what it takes to be with him. GF: Are you crazy? Even if you go there, they are not allowed to date, it would be suicidal for them. It would destroy their careers.  You would have them risk that for you. G: No, of course not. But that's really backward that artists can't date. GF: Maybe they can, but not in public? G: I need help.

GF: Why don't you talk to the school psychologist? G: No I mean help to figure out how to be with him. I need to set in motion a long-term plan.  GF: You're going to give up your career for him?  G: I have no interest in going to Harvard anymore. I want to go to SNU to be near him. To bear his children. For him to call me wifey. Like in the kdama. The aloof cold CEO prince takes a liken to me, a mere common mortal. GF: What? Are you still interested in becoming a doctor?
