"저기요 (excuse me), 3 please." I said while holding up three fingers. The lady bagged my apples and handed them to me with a sweet smile. I gave a little bow, "감사합니다" (thank you) and I was finally on my way home.

It's been about 3 weeks since I've moved to Korea. I am slowly starting to pick up the language little by little. I practice with my cats everyday and even though they are no help, their blank stares with occasional meows tell me I am on the right path.

It took some time but I was finally able to land my first job. It was probably the easiest interview I ever had. I just walked in with so much confidence and showed no signs of weakness or intimidation. Which I guess is what they were looking for because I got hired right on the spot.

Once I noticed all the hot men walking around, let's just say I became an expert in public communications relations real quick, but actually I already have experience with being a celebrity's manager over in America so the staff who were interviewing me saw me as the best candidate.

I moved to Korea to live a simple life with only wanting simple things like eye candy. Along with simply living out the rest of my simple days in peace with no one else but my cats until I die naturally. I was content. I was happy. But that was because I really didn't know what I actually wanted.

On my first day of work I went in overly prepared. I already knew how to manage people/schedules, etc so I thought it was the same ole same stuff I've always done before. Chaos was never really in my day to day vocabulary because I could always handle the fast pace and constant workload. My time management was perfect and nothing could overwhelm me. Well... so I thought of course.... until it was the day I met the chaotic Lee Minho...

After a week of orientation at JYPE, I was assigned to a boy band called Stray Kids. There were 8 of them. I was told I was the manager of all of them, yet I became more like a babysitter. Now, they do have individual managers but I was over certain things that dealt with ot8. I also didn't understand the meaning behind the term 'baby-sitter' for 8 grown ass men but once I met them I completely understood why.

Chan or well Chris, who is the leader, was only a year younger than me. He was korean/australian. Talking to him in English was easy. So I figured a 26 year old man could handle himself but I was wrong. Sometimes it was hard to remember that he was the leader and not the maknae.

Next we have the second eldest, Minho, who also goes by the name Lee Know. He is their main dancer. I never saw a man move his body the way he could. I was in awe of him but at the same time I wanted to fight this man on day one. Straight up I could have thrown hands but the professionalism in me kept it real and I needed to keep this job. Since then it's been nothing but beef between us.

Changbin was the 3rd eldest. The muscles this man had I just wanted... mmm... I mean.. I wanted to feel them myself. His wide back and big arms is literally the American dream and I would be lying if I said I just wanted him to put me in a choke hold.

Now the last member of the hyung line was Hyunjin. Probably one of the tallest in the group. Not too skinny, not too muscular but toned just right. He was part of the main dancers. This man could also move his body like no other. His dancing style could tell stories. Truly a beautiful work of art.

Now for the maknae line. Han Ji Sung was your typical loud, obnoxious middle child. But he was also known as the baby girl of the group. He had two different sides to him. The masculine side with his dorito looking back, toned shoulders and cocky attitude and then this ' I need my manager to come zip my jacket up because I'm cold and can't do it' side. Being famous you can get away with stuff like that but to be honest I didn't mind having to open up a bag of peanuts for him everytime. It was cute in a way and I loved watching him stuff his cheeks.

The 3rd youngest took me by surprise, Felix. Like Chris, Felix came from australia. He was known as the sunshine of the group. It was confusing at first because the moment I heard him talk I thought I was about to be approached by a 6 foot 2, dark, clean cut, body lifter. Nope. Instead I was met with this adorable little freckled, sweet, brownie baking sunflower of a guy. His personality is so bright it radiates off like the literal sun. His love language is skinship and the first time he met me he gave me the biggest hug. I, myself, hate skinship. But I embraced his hug, I didn't want to come off as a bitch on the first meet and greet.

Up next is Kim Seungmin. The worlds most beautiful human being. I have never in my life ever saw a more perfect celestial being. From his looks, to his voice, to the way he stood. I mean homie had it all. He was one of the main vocalists. I walked in on him practicing his vocals and when he looked over at me I realized I was staring so hard. I think I even drooled a bit. His first impression of me was probably "ehh another crazed fan only working here to fangirl". I didn't care what he thought of me. I would fangirl the fuck out of him. His savaginess though was probably my favorite thing about him.

Last, but not least we have the real maknae. Yang Jeongin who goes by I.N. His sweet little smile and innocent look just makes me want to pick him up and put him in my pocket to keep him safe from this cruel world. He had a beautiful singing voice as well. He was actually practicing with Seungmin when I walked in the studio.

The talent this group has is incredible. It was truly an honor to be working for them. Even if I was just their babysitter at times. But having them as eye candy every day made up for it all. Especially during dance practices if you know what I mean.
