The morning sun bathed Seoul in a warm glow as Nora and Minji prepared to welcome their new neighbors. It was Saturday, a rare day off for Nora, and the air was filled with anticipation.

Minji had cooked up a storm, preparing a feast of Korean delights to welcome the neighbors. Nora, in her element, showcased her culinary skills by whipping up a selection of Moroccan sweets – Kaab ghzal, Feqqas, and Chebbakia. The melding of cultures in their kitchen echoed the harmonious blend that Seoul itself had become for Nora.

With the dishes in hand, Nora and Minji approached the neighboring door and knocked. The door swung open,Nora and Minji were shocked, revealing Suho on the other side. His eyes met Nora's, but the recognition was absent.

Nora: (nervously) "Hi, I'm Nora! We're your new neighbors. We wanted to welcome you with some delicious treats."

For a moment, Suho looked puzzled, unable to connect the dots. Nora, sensing the confusion, felt a wave of disbelief wash over her. Could it be possible that Suho, a member of EXO, didn't recognize her after the concert?

Suho: (smiling) "Oh, welcome! I'm Suho. Nice to meet you both."

Nora's heart sank momentarily, a twinge of disappointment setting in. However, before she could react, Suho's eyes widened with realization. He took a closer look at Nora, and a light of recognition flickered in his eyes.

Suho: (surprised) "Wait a minute... Nora, right? From the concert?"

Nora: (in disbelief) "Yes, that's me! Oh my, you recognized me!"

Suho: (grinning) "How could I forget? You were dancing and singing during 'Love Me Right.' It's a pleasant surprise to have you as our neighbor!"

In utter disbelief, Nora turned away for a moment, whispering to herself, "Am I dreaming?" She collected herself and turned back, extending a warm welcome to Suho.

As Nora stepped into the residence, she couldn't help but marvel at the surreal turn of events. The connection with EXO, once confined to the stage, now echoed within the walls of her new neighbor's house.

Suho: (sincerely) "I have to admit, it's not every day we get such enthusiastic neighbors. Please, make yourselves at home."

Meanwhile, Suho, feeling a sense of camaraderie with Nora, couldn't help but mention Kai.

Suho: "By the way, Nora, you mentioned you're a fan of EXO. Have you got a bias in the group?"

Nora, still buzzing with excitement, responded, "Oh, definitely! I really admire Kai. His performances are incredible."

As Suho led Nora and Minji into their new home, he couldn't contain the excitement himself.

Suho: (smiling) "You know, Kai was telling us about you. He mentioned how you were at the concert, and he was quite intrigued. He wanted to know more about the enthusiastic fan who danced to 'Love Me Right.'"

Little did Nora know, this unexpected encounter with Suho, coupled with the surprises that awaited her, was just the beginning of a series of heartwarming moments and unexpected connections that would further intertwine her life with the members of EXO in the chapters to come.
