CHAPTER 1: LIA'S LIFE

as I've said awhile ago, I'm not a normal teenager. Me and my sister fangirl alot.

Sometimes my mom cant handle us from fangirling but I think that's okay since I'm just being me. Well, I dont have any talent besides fangirling and I thought that my life is boring that I just want to read and write stories but hey, those korean idols gave me a colorful life, meeting wonderful friends from all over the world and makes me knowledgeable about their language and culture. Haha.

Being a fangirl too is kinda hard for me because people around me can't understand why I'm obsessed with them. I just love them and what's not to like about them anyway.

Introducing myself as a fangirl makes me remember the first time I saw him, in 아낀다 MV. The smallest boy in a kpop group, seventeen. He's too small but his voice and what he can do is so daebak. I love the songs that he composed and his smile. Ugh. He looks like an angel but I swear, he's not.

Hitting your co-member a guitar and bullying them is not normal. Haha.

I do love him and all his flaws.

Lia's P.O.V

"Liaaa!! You have to wake up now! You dont want to be late on your last day of work right? You need to impress your boss for the last time. So get up and prepare"

Ugh. My mom, she's so annoying but i still love her.

Oh yes, before I forgot. I already graduated and working in one of the top media companies and im working as a researcher.

Some of you may say that am i too old for fangirling because most of the fangirls are teenage girls? Yes I may be working now and fangirling is one of my jobs too. I've been fangirling since I was in highschool.

Part of my daily routine was to watch videos about him particularly his predebut videos. It makes me smile and not be pressured today. It was my stress reliever too.

"Lia! You're going to be late. Could you please go down and eat your breakfast"

"Okay okay! I'll be there mom!" I looked at myself in the mirror and did a final touch. Aaaand there. I'm done.

I'm just wearing a black formal dress with a blazer and high heels. I get my bag in my chair and went out of my room.

"Ugh. Thank God! You're finally done. Now eat and go." -mom

Well, my breakfast is just french toast and milk because i'm on a diet. I dont want to get fat when he sees me and you know who i'm talking about right?

"Mom, i'll leave now. Thanks for the french toast. I love you!"

"Take care of yourself okay? And dont skip lunch. You're being so serious about your diet. I dont want to see my daughter so skinny like a bone." -mom

"Haha. Very funny mom. I have to go now" i kiss my mom goodbye and ride on my car. It will be a long day today. I hope that my last day will be just fine. I'm going to Korea next week to fulfill my other dream. Well the first one is to graduate, have a first successful job and save money. The second one is go to korea, find a decent work there and to see him.

The weather is nice today. It's not too hot now and i hope that no one will ruin my mood.

I'm also glad that im not late for work and stop by at the near coffee shop to buy my favorite chocolate chip cream frappe. I sat in my favorite spot which is by the window and wait for my drink.

"Good morning miss. What are you doing here alone on a beautiful weather?"

"Very funny Mark. Cmon you know that i love the frappe here that's why i am here and i'm just waiting for my drink."

Mark is my bestfriend since we were in highschool. He's in the broadcast department in the media company im working to. People thought that we sort of have a thing because we are always together and so close but we only see each other as siblings.

As soon as i got the order, me and mark went out and go to our designated departments. What i didnt know is my officemates threw a surprise farewell party for me

There were a lot of balloons in the ground and a banner that says "farewell and goodluck in your career lia"

"Aww thank you guys. I'm gonna miss you all."

"Dont you ever forget us okay? I know that you'll be having a lot of fun in Korea but please keep in touch." -Marie, one of my friends.

"of course i'll still contact you. I really had so much fun in here so i wont forget you guys. I promise"

After we ate, we get back to our work.

Time skip. (6pm)

"Thank you guys for the farewell party. I guess i have to go home now. I still have a lot of things to do regarding the documents that i need"

"Okay lia. Please be careful"

As I went out of the building. I saw Mark outside.

"Hey" -mark

"Hey. Want a ride?"

"Sure." -Mark

I noticed that something is wrong with Mark. Im going to ask him later.

When we arrived at his house. I immediately asked. "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to miss you Lia and I have something to tell you." -mark

"What is it?"

"I've been thinking about it lately and I think now is the time to say it to you. I like you Lia. No.. I love you. Ever since were highschool. I couldn't find time to confess to you because you're so obsessed with those guys." -mark

I dont know what to say. My bestfriend is in love with me.

"You dont have to say anything. I just felt that I need to tell it to you since you're leaving" -Mark

"I'm sorry Mark I-i-i..."

"Shhh. You dont have to say sorry. I have to go out now. Hey. Cheer up. Im still you're bestfriend. Now. We should talk everyday okay? And i'll wait for you" -Mark

"Thank you for understanding Mark. You really are a good friend."

Mark left. I dont know what to do. I want to make up with him but i dont know what to say. I dont want to lose my bestfriend. After a while, i went home and saw my mother cooking dinner.

"Hey mom." I kissed her and went to my room. As soon as i closed the door, i texted mark and asked if he was okay.

I changed to a much comfortable clothes and start packing some of my clothes. I'm so tired.

Time skip (One week after)

Today is my flight and im so excited to go to Korea. My documents are and passport are all ready. Me, my sister and mom is on our way to the airport.

"Lia, please be careful there. I know that you're so excited and all but please take care of yourself okay? No more diet." -mom

"Please say hi to Jeonghan and s.coups oppa for me okay?" Ann, my sister

"I will and you should study hard. So that you can come and visit me to Korea okay?"

We arrived at the airport and we waited for an hour.

I will board in the plane now.

"I love you mom. Dont cry. I promise that as soon as i got a job in korea, i will save money and will get you and Ann."

"I will miss you my daughter" she hugged me and kissed me. I also hug Ann and walked away.

When i found my seat at the plane, i felt sad but the brighter side is

"Korea here I come!"
