2021

Myungil University

There had to be atleast 20 screaming girls flocking him as he walked up the steps. He was sure. No less than 20.

As they screamed,more eyes turned to look at the source of the commotion.

What they saw were those perfect teeth from Yeo Jun's dazzling smile. His bleached hair  gleamed like threads of gold in the sunlight.He truly was the golden child, Heaven's kiss.

Atop the stairs, he turned to face his adoring public as they continued to scream and pay him compliments while taking photos of him.

"You're so handsome."

"You're so cute."

"I love you."

In this blend of voices, he wasn't sure who said what but one thing was sure– this group with the blushing cheeks and bashful eyes – they all loved him.


Somewhere In Town

In the bustling street a solitary figure stood still. Tall with a straight bang cut across his forehead, he held a sign.

SUSHI 13,000 Won

Attracted by the sign, a young couple came over. Between them, they couldn't seem to decide whether or not they would be eating sushi— in the end they left.

This couple caused Nam Soo Hyun to think.

Leisure. Dating. Those are a luxury for a person like me.Because those who barely scrape by don't have the free time.

Time. 24 hours in a day did not seem to be enough.

This was his second job for the day. When he was finished here, he had three other shifts at other places. When classes officially began  they would need to be crammed in as well.

What a pitiful existence.

Even the skies seemed to agree with him as the dark clouds that had gathered overhead finally burst their seams..

One drop...

Two drops...

The people walking by scattered, dashing for cover as those drops increased both in size and number.

Only Nam Soo Hyun remained, holding his sign.

SUSHI 13,000 Won.



Later That Evening

The only real complaint Yeo Jun had about the Freshmen Orientation was that it ended too quickly.His adoring public had to be left behind, atleast in person.

He returned to his upscale condo, a special type of student housing where only the wealthy students resided.

The lights came on the minute he walked in. 

He was home.

.......... Alone.

Setting his backpack on the ground, he retrieved his phone from his pocket.Since he'd checked this morning, he'd gained atleast 250 new followers on social media.

His notification tab was overflowing. He was thrilled.

It seemed in just a few short hours he'd managed to earn himself a fan club– social media page and all.

Looking at it he smiled. In addition to the pictures and videos that were taken of him today, the page also reposted some the pictures he'd posted on his personal page.
