[Monday morning, at 18 Bottle Street Apartment, Your house]

'Hello? Who is this on the line? ........ ah she's not up yet, would you like to leave a message?.......okay, 10am at the usual place? Sure I'll pass it on to her, and you are?.... JB?.... ah sure, thanks, bye.'

It was only 9 am and the phone on the bedside started ringing and vibrating with messages.

Having had a long night helping Chelsea to unpack and settle into the house, you haven't had much sleep and your sister was jetlagged get and awake, answering your calls and feeling fresh to finally settle in a decent apartment on Bottle street - one of the quietest but lively neighborhoods in the new suburbs of Korea.

'Uh, we're you saying something Chelsea? I was really.....hmmm....too tired....' with a yawn you woke up and noticed Chelsea scribbling on your notepad while munching your muffins. 'Is it 9 already? Oh gosh!' You hurriedly freshened up
and threw on a decent outfit for the Monday.

You were meeting JB to head to the office together at 9.30am since he lived a door down and worked in the same office, he never failed to let you hitch a ride 24/7 having known you for the last couple of years.

'your friend jb called awhile ago to say he's got someplace to take you and you just needed to be at the usual place at 10 am. who's he anyways Mandy, he sounds like he's got a nice voice, so hes sure got a crappy face and I bet he's trying to hit on you.'

You choked on your tea hearing the absurdity of your lil sister's logical framework. 'Not every guy that calls is trying to hit on a girl, furthermore he used to be a singer which explains his voice, and lastly, he's my colleague and OUR neighbour, the one that used to be the leader of Got7. Remember? You used to say that he was so cool and all that.'

You felt a gush of wind whizz past you and turned around to see Chelsea bent over the balcony trying to look into the neighbour's garden. 'ARE YOU SERIOUS, HES THAT JB???? WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO? DOES HE KNOW ABOUT ME? DID YOU GUYS TALK ABOUT ME? DOES HE KNOW I CAME??'

Chelsea was a big fan of JB since the JJ project years ago, and you never told her that you guys were close, for fear that she would bug the life out of you like how she did now. All she knew was that you guys were acquainted through Mark and that you both went to church together.

'Don't be a fool Chels, he's obviously not home since you heard his call. Quit hanging on the balcony before someone thinks you're suicidal.' You slowed down your pace seeing that there was some more time before JB came by.

"5 unread messages:
7.05 Mark: Hey babe, did you say Chelsea was coming today? Call me when you're up and we could hang out together for a bit, there's a phone in the drawer she can use while you're out.

8.10 Jackson: D, are u with Chelsea? I'll be free for lunch if you need me to take her out to meet some guys! *wink*

8.15 Mark: Hey you're ok right? You should be getting up now...

8.30 Mark: I'm heading out now, call me alright?

8.45 JB: Mandy let's meet a little later today. I saw your lights on the whole night I figured you won't be getting up so soon! I'll grab breakfast for you and Chelsea, and come by at 10.... shhh, it's a surprise! "

'Wow, how do these guys wake up so early and know she's here...' You muttered in half amazement and confusion.

'Hey Chels, you remember Mark oppa? He says you can use his phone while you're here, it's in the drawer of the black shelf.' Mark was always a sweetie that left lots of emergency supplies in your home knowing that you hardly organized things around the house. Sometimes you wished he could live with you.....

'ugh.' You audibly shake off the thought remembering the day you guys met in your teens and his dorky face that you always felt was too skinny.

Chelsea never saw the guys as superstars no matter how much fans screamed for them, because they had seen her as a little sister from the day you got to know each one of them. But it had been years since they met and none of them could imagine how the cheeky teeny bopper had turned out at the peak of her youth. She had gotten rid of her braces and glasses, and grown her hair long, with glowing tanned skin from all the travels.

Sometimes people mistook her for Bora from Sista - that's how much she'd changed. Chelsea too, hardly got to see updates of the guys and when she did, it was JB that she always searched for. You couldn't wait to see who would be surprised, Jb or Chelsea.

'Wow Mark oppa has got lots of stuff in this drawer sis, are you sure he doesn't live here?' You couldn't help but gulp at your sisters telepathy at uncanny times.

'Don't be mad, he put them there cos he hangs out at jb's place and sometimes jb isn't in town so he just comes over instead with the guys for dinner. Anyway, he's probably gonna take you out tonight after he's done with work. Oh , and Jackson too, he's been wanting to introduce some guys to you.'

You splash on the dash of lavender perfume and did a time check - 9.50am, JB would be here soon and Chelsea was in the perfect grub to meet him looking all comfy and embarrassed. You secretly knew JB'S ideal type of girl was just the kind Chelsea was and hoped that somehow JB would see her as a woman than your little sis.

just when Chelsea was still rummaging through 'Mark's drawer', the door gently clicked open.

"Guess who's here.....?" A thin male voice echoed through the hallway with some ruffling sounds of paper bags and a faint aroma of pastry. But it didn't sound like JB.
