Jisung made his way through the large glass doors, with Seungmin following behind him.

"See?" Seungmin said. "Isn't it cool?"

"Which part?" Jisung asked, staring in disgust at the floor-to-ceiling book covered shelves.

"All of it! They have every type of book you can imagine!" Seungmin said excitedly.

"Is this really the "great place" you said I needed to see?" Jisung asked.

"Trust me, it's great! Just look around and find something you like." Seungmin said, walking off to go drool over books.

Jisung sighed. He looked around, noticing there was a little coffee shop through another doorway. "There's something I like" he whispered to himself.

He went over and began ordering.

He sat down and waited at a little table.


"I've never seen you here before." Said a small voice to his left.

He turned, hoping no one was actually talking to him.

There was a girl sitting at the table beside him, staring at him.

"Umm... I've never seen you here either?" He said awkwardly, biting his tongue.

"You look like this guy from this kpop group. Do you know kpop?" She asked, readjusting her large glasses.

Jisung nodded his head. "Umm. Yeah."

"So do you like it?" She asked.

"What?" He asked, confused.

"Kpop!" She said.

"Uhh, yeah. I guess."

She gasped excitedly.

Jisung tried to turn away, putting an end to the conversation.

"What's your favourite group?!" She asked, obviously not understanding that he didn't want to talk.

Jisung, unable to be impolite, turned back to her. "I don't have a favourite. I like a lot of them."

"Oh! Then what style of music do you like?" She asked.

Now Jisung was trapped. As soon as he started talking about music, he just couldn't stop. "Well, I like rock."

She smiled. "Me too!"

Then Jisung just couldn't help it. He started listing all the types of music he liked, and all the groups he liked.

They talked for a while, and Jisung went off on a bit of a tangent about poorly produced music.

"Wow! How do you know so much about music production?" She asked.

"Umm, well actually my brother is a producer." Jisung admitted.

"Oh that's so cool! Where?"

"Uhhh..." Jisung stuttered hesitantly. "At...at-at JYP..."

Her jaw dropped. "You're lying!" She said.

Jisung shook his head. "No, really. He is."

"THE jyp?! Like JYP in Seoul? That JYP?!"

Jisung nodded his head.

"You are so lucky! That's so cool." She said.

Jisung shrugged... "Yeah. I guess so."
