~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I woke up around ten fifteen and decided to lounge about for thirty minutes. I got out of bed and changed in to a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a pair of Converse. I packed a bag with my laptop, beauty products, jewelry, pajamas, and a change of clothes before I picked out a few dresses and shoes for that night. The only reason I packed a bag was because I didn't know how the night was going to go and I wanted to be prepared for anything. (Like possibly having to stay at Amber's or something.) By the time I was done with that it was nearing eleven so I grabbed my bag and headed out the door. It took me about twenty minutes to make it to Amber's apartment from my hotel and as soon as I got there I was stopped by the doorman/body guard (seriously this guy was huge).
"Only residents allowed," he said in heavily accented English.
"I'm supposed to be meeting a friend," I said.
His eyes widened when he heard my Korean but he stood his ground about not letting me in.
"Will you just call Amber and she'll tell you she's waiting on me."
"Stay here a moment."
I bowed respectfully and waited while he walked over to the phone, said a few words then hung up. A few seconds later the elevator door opened and Amber rushed over to me.
"Eonnie! You made it," she exclaimed as she squeezed the life out of me.
"I told you I'd come silly," I laughed.
"I'm very sorry Miss Liu. Please don't report my indiscretion," the guard said, bowing lowly.
"It's ok Sangjun oppa. She's a new friend of mine and you haven't familiarized yourself with her yet. But she'll be over more and she's safe to let through," she said, comforting the man.
"Please forgive me Miss Tessa," Sangjun asked, bowing to me.
"There's nothing to forgive," I said. "It's in the past."
He smiled at that and we went on our way shortly afterwards.
"Sorry about that. He's a stickler for rules and technically we're not allowed to have anyone outside the company over but we break that rule all the time."
"Wait, this building belongs to SM?"
"Yeah. It's a bit nicer than the dorms and we get a good discount."
"Who all lives here?"
"Well I do, plus Donghae oppa, Heechul oppa, Leeteuk oppa, and Yunho oppa. There's a few more but I'm not going to make a full list. You might just go hunting for them," she winked.
"No I wouldn't," I laughed as the elevator stopped at her floor. "I'm probably going to be seeing most of them tonight."
"How right you are," she said, leading me to her door.
