I will love you with my Heart and Seoul

Chapter One

       Three weeks later, I am again standing in departures, waiting for my flight. I am to report directly to the office on my arrival, a car will pick me up. I have to meet with them to complete the arrangements for my apartment etc.
       Gorgeous Jimin has just released his video for Serendipity, Hmm... definitely bias wrecker material; so cute, and with his bleached blonde hair and fabulous abs, his voice is so beautiful and unique. I cannot stop listening to it.

       Their new album is due to be released, so everyone is very busy when I arrive.
       I am standing in the middle of it all looking overwhelmed. I AM SURE I AM IN THE WAY!
       But I am soon led to an office where I meet with a very pretty young lady named Lee Soo Min. She is about the same age as myself with long black hair and bangs that flirt with her eyelashes, which stand proudly above her almond shaped dark eyes.
       I note that she is slightly built and an inch or so taller than myself; she greets me warmly and hopes that we can become good friends.
       Apparently, we will be flat sharing, so I hope so too!

       We go over the duties I will be expected to undertake and meet with other staff, some that I have met already, at the dinner and others that I have not.
       I notice that formalities are quite relaxed in the company, there is a real family vibe. To be honest, I am quite relieved.

       Soo Min notices my stifled yawn and exclaims, "You must be exhausted, where are your bags?"
      "I left them with the driver that collected me from the airport, he said that he will take me to my apartment once my business is finished at the office," I replied trying to stifle yet another yawn.
        I don't sleep well on planes.

       Soo Min replies with a smile, "I have a break due soon, if you can hold on just a little while longer, I will accompany you to our apartment so you can get some rest. It is going to be a big day for you tomorrow."
       I smile sleepily at her and nod slightly to show my acceptance at her suggestion.

       When I wake the next morning, I am temporarily disorientated by my unfamiliar surroundings, then remember where I am.
       Our apartment is tastefully decorated in subtle shades of blue and green, with very modern furniture.
       It's not massive but has two good sized bedrooms, a swanky bathroom and a well-appointed kitchen with an island/breakfast bar.

       The late summer sunshine is brightly bathing the city of Seoul in a golden hue.
       I feel refreshed, I slept for 16 hours straight, crashing as soon as my head hit the pillow.
       I need to pee badly! Going straight to the bathroom I relieve myself and freshen up a little. 
       Hearing music playing and someone humming, I wander out into the living/kitchen area to find Soo Min, Unnie preparing some breakfast.

      "Ah, good morning sleepy head," she jokes while flipping pancakes, "you were completely out of it when I returned from work last night, you haven't eaten anything you must be hungry, please sit, I have prepared some breakfast, but don't expect this every morning!"
       I giggle and thank her for the meal.

       Once we have cleared up and I am ready for my first day with Big Hit, we head out and stroll off to work together, through the lively streets, chatting like old friends.
       I was pleasantly surprised to find that the walk to work is less than 30 minutes with a short cut through a park.
       If it continues like this I am going to have THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE HERE IN SEOUL.

       The day was spent meeting colleagues and touring the offices and practice rooms, meeting with some of the trainees; all of whom seem excited to learn they have the prospect of learning English from me.
       Some of them are just kids of fourteen or fifteen, this is not unusual for an Idol trainee; they may never debut, but they are full of enthusiasm and charisma in most cases.
       There are some, more shy than others; or is it a lack of confidence?  Some of them try to flirt, as flattering as that is, they are quickly reminded to be respectful.

       It wasn't until Tuesday of the following week that it happened!
