The Foreign Fanboy || Hwang Hyunjin

Chapter 1

I hate my alarm.

Every time my alarm goes off, I hit snooze and slightly fall asleep again. 4 times in a row. When you need to get up at 6 am, you have no other choice.

After lying in bed for another 40 minutes, I finally sit up straight in my bed, rethinking my life decisions. I love working as an actor, don't get me wrong, but the getting up early is a hard pass for me.

I put on some clothes - sweatpants and a hoodie, because you know, I get dressed when I get to work anyway - and make myself ready for the day.

Just when I'm doing my morning routine, I hear the back door open and close with a light puff. Someone walks up the stairs and before I know it, the slightly older boy walks into my bathroom with no knock or anything.

"Jesus man, can't you knock? I could have stitched this tube in my eye," I snort out, angry at the boy in front of me.

"Just get downstairs. I'll make some breakfast for you." He walks out the bathroom and shuts the door behind him - not so gently - and I hear his footsteps going down the stairs again.

I really love my twin brother, but sometimes he really knows how to get on my nerves.

When I'm done with my morning routine, I grab my stuff from my bedroom which I need for the day and head down the stairs, to the kitchen.

There I see my twin brother behind the counter, placing some American pancakes on two plates.

"Good morning, sunshine. Ready for your day? I made some pancakes for us. You always need to start your day with some excitement," he states, sitting down at the counter and putting some syrup on his pancakes.

He pats the seat beside him, telling me to sit down next to him. I do what I've been told and sit down, grabbing the syrup my twin offered me.

"Thanks Ian, you really are the best," I say, starting to eat my pancakes.

"Everything for my favorite sister." He gives me a wink, knowing goddamn well I'm his only sister.

Ian and I are sitting in the car, on our way to our working place of the day.

But before we continue our drive, we always stop by the Starbucks. Coffee really is a must-have at 7:15 in the morning. We probably have to work till night, so I really need my dose of caffeine.

"Can we head in the café instead this time?" the boy behind the steering wheel asks. I give him a questioning look in return, not knowing what got into my twin's head.

"Well you know, Paddy and I also went to Starbucks yesterday and we went into the café. And there was a cute cashier-" I cut him off by opening the door, since we already had parked in the meantime.

"Say no more, we're going in. I'm going to play Cupid today." I climb out of the car and walk to the front of the café, not waiting for the boy to follow me, because I know he already is.

I walk into the Starbucks and Ian has already catched up with me. He looks at the counter and sees the same girl standing behind it as the day before.

I see his face light up a bit and I nudge him in the side. "Talk to her. You know my drink."
And before the boy can say anything, I'm already shoving him to the counter where the girl is waiting for her next costumer.

We sit back in the car with our coffees still warm in our hands. Ian starts the engine and drives off the parking lot.

"You did great, my friend. Next step is asking her name and number and boom, you have a girlfriend in no time," I encourage my twin, whose turning bright red at my comment.

"Don't get too fond with it, Nikki, we've only spoken for a minute or five. Now drink your coffee and let's get this day over with."

And with that we hit the road and make our way to the set.
