Kim Jisoo is what you call a struggling artist, very common. What's not very common is that someone is buying all her works - not that she ever doubted herself but she knows people who buy paintings are all snobbish assholes who want people to think they have some artsy taste so why would someone buy her piece when no one barely knows her
Lisa Manoban, her Thai roommate and someone she might treat as a friend had some wacky theories, "maybe it's somebody you went to school with and has a crush on you!"
Jisoo pops open a beer, "I very much doubt that" she says remembering how her school life went, she was the weird orphan girl who was good looking enough to be labeled a slut but scary enough to not have anyone say it to her face and to be honest she did punched that one boy in elementary
She wonders if it's Jimin - no it can't be.
"Maybe she passed you one time and became obsessed with you" Lisa tries again and she scrunched her nose in disapproval
"I don't think so but hey as long as its paying the rent I don't care"
"Hear hear!" Her roommate agrees

Okay, maybe - maybe she was more curious than she let on but can you really blame her. When all her painting were bought by the same person she's permitted to be a little curious.
Irene and her girlfriend Seulgi was paid a generous amount of money to shut up.
"I think you should be flattered" Irene says as Jisoo drops off her latest work
"I am" she huffs, "although I'm allowed to worry about a prospective stalker"
"Oh trust me, if she's your stalker you would want her to kidnap you" Seulgi laughs
"So its a girl?" She asks and the couple looked like they swallowed their tongue
"Thanks for the info" she chuckles and went out of the gallery
Other than paintings she dabbles with photography, and singing. In other words all her careers are the pinnacle of struggling artist
...
"A girl?" Jennie asks, Jennie is Lisa's cat eyed bestfriend/girlfriend who she grew fond of
"Yep"
"I don't know chu, sounds like a stalker" the girl says
Lisa snorts, "yeah - girls have crazy tendencies you know" then shoots a look at Jennie
"Hate to break it you but unless you have a penis up that tight jeans you're a girl" Jennie shoots back
"What if I identify as a male"
"I don't think that's how it works, Lisa"
"Yes, it--"
"-Lisa shut up" Jennie cuts her off
And Lisa motions to her girlfriend, "see?! I'm telling you Jisoo, whoever is buying your works is a crazy weirdo"
"Or maybe-" Jennie shoots her girlfriend a deadly glare, "-she just likes your work and is a fan"
"Or a crazy stalker"
"Or maybe you're the crazy one"
"Or -" she glares at the two, "She's someone I knew from school who's trying to make fun of me"

By the end of the week she was asked to to present her latest photographs in Irene and Seulgi's gallery which she did and although she was excited to showcase her work there's still a pit of anxiety that her stalker-and-or-former-classmate-and-or-fan is there and might do something good and/or bad
