Suga's Sister (Book 1)

Chapter 19:

Jade's Pov:

15 minutes later the guys and I arrived back in the Lobby dressed up in our disguises and ready to go out. At first I was surprised because I hadn't expected to see the Ikon members standing there along with another group of guys which I assumed were Taehyun's group members as well as the other members of Ikon. None the less I was happy to see them, and was happy to see that they were in disguise as well. I happily waved at them as we made our way over to them and the rest of the group. I quickly greeted the other guys, before going over to say hi to the Ikon guys and Taehyun, and meet their friends, while the rest of the guys were busy organizing themselves in to groups to leave.

Jade: Hey guys, what are you guys doing here? I thought you said that you guys had plans. *I said quickly as I greeted them with a smile as I took off my mask and hat and glasses and ruffled my hair slightly while greeting them easily*

BI: *he blushes slightly* ah we did, but uh as soon as Chanwoo let slip that you guys were going out for lunch. The other members began to join in with him and began begging to go. They have all been quite curious about the new girl who has been allowed to stay here even though she wasn't an idol. Somehow uh word has gotten out about you staying here and the rumor mill has gone a little crazy. Everyone is quite curious about you, you know. I even heard some of the actors that are signed under FNC gossiping about you in the gym the other day, and they were saying the most ridiculous things. Something about you being a mob bosses daughter, and hiding out here because you don't want to go through with an arranged marriage to the son of a rival gang or something like that. *he said with a laugh, and I joined in*

Jade: what really? *still giggling* that is ridiculous.

BI: I know right... there was even a rumor that said you were actually in the witness protection program, and the BTS guys were actually your body guards. I also heard a really weird one about you actually being engaged to Suga, or being his secret wife or something like that. Which is totally weird since he is actually your brother. Well your half brother, but still it is ridiculous. Anyway uh as I was saying all my hyung's were quiet curious about you after hearing so many crazy rumors, and well they were eager to meet you as well. Especially Bobby, since he is from the US too. He wanted to greet you and personally offer you some advise as to fitting in and adjusting to life within the Korean culture as a fellow Korean/American. *He said with a smile, as he glanced over to one of his friends, who enthusiastically greeted me with a wave*

Bobby: Hey I am Bobby, and I really wanted to meet you. Uh, Welcome to Korea, how are you liking it here? Are you adjusting well? It is a bit different here isn't it? *he said easily, his native English instantly bringing a smile to my face.*

Jade: Hey Bobby, it is nice to meet you. I am Jade Min. Uh I mean Min Jade? *I said quickly while offering him my hand to shake, which he happily took as he shook it lightly, giving me a sweet smile, before releasing our handshake, and I quickly returned it before continuing to answer his questions* And uh yeah I would say I am adjusting fairly well. I mean I am still struggling a bit with the time difference, and you know figuring out how to adjust my sleeping schedule so that I can still keep in touch with my friends back home since they're like 16 hours behind us. While still getting all my school work done here, not to mention finding the time to practice my Korean lessons on the side, but uh yeah it's going alright. It is just very different here, then it is in America though, that is for sure. I mean in America, I wasn't as restricted as I am here. I was aloud to go wherever I wanted, and say whatever I wanted and wear whatever I wanted and nobody really cared. But uh here I have to be much more careful as everything I say and do can reflect badly on my brother and his members. So I have to make sure I don't do anything that can cause anyone to throw shade at him. Which you know is a lot of pressure *I said seriously and he nodded easily, to show that he understood* But other then that it is good. I mean I haven't really experienced any extreme culture shock or anything, but that may be because I haven't really left the dorms yet. But uh so far everyone that I have met seems pretty nice. I mean I can't really speak Korean fluently yet, so my interactions with them have been pretty limited and usually took place through an interpreter. But from what I have gathered from the Koreans I have met so far is that they tend to be very polite and well mannered, and so sometimes they can come off as shy or soft spoken, or their way of speaking can even come off as stiff and reserved. Which you know is not really a bad thing, but it is very different from what I am used too. I mean I am quite friendly and I have a really bubbly personality, and a very friendly disposition. So I am the kind of person who could meet a complete stranger, and strike up a conversation with them immediately. So for me, to most Korean's I think I probably come as someone who is quiet loud. But it is not that I am loud, I am just really talkative and overly friendly. I am a very warm person by nature. So I make friends easily and I am very affectionate, so I tend to be really touchy and feely around my friends. But I am quickly learning that not everyone is as comfortable with the idea of skinship as me. *I said and he nodded along though he seemed surprised to hear how comfortable I was with the idea of sharing skinship with someone I had just met.* I am also learning that there a lot more rules about what is acceptable here in the way of fashion here. Because well everything is reversed. I mean while in America it would be perfectly normal for me to go out in public while wearing a tank top or tight fitting muscle shirt or something that is a bit more low cut like a V neck, or a scoop necked tee shirt, or something like what I am wearing right now with cut outs around the cleavage area, but well here it is like a big no no.... well I mean I guess the one I am wearing right now is not too bad, since the cut outs are small and barely any of my skin shows but still. I mean I have this one shirt at home the that is kind of low cut any way, and then it has these two long cut out strips that are designed to look like slash marks and it is kind of tight fitting, and while I wore it all the time back home, if i were to wear it here I would be judged so hard for dressing like a slut, and showing off my collar bones. But weirdly it is perfectly fine for me to wear a short skirt or some booty shorts that are so short that I literally have to worry about if I am gonna flash somebody when I try to bend over for some reason or another, and don't even get me started on crop tops. *i joked in slight annoyance before continuing my little rant* So apparently I can show off the skin around my stomach as well as the skin around my long smooth legs. But I can't show off the skin around my upper chest area? That just doesn't make sense to me and it is because in America it is opposite of what it is here. In America for a girl to wear something so short is to be considered permisicous. But if I were to wear a low cut top or something it is perfectly normal. *I said while giving him a cute little confused head shake and he just laughed but nodded to show he knew what I was talking about.* You know what I mean? oh and don't even get me started on the idea that everyone expects girls to swim fully clothed here. I mean that one is just weird. But I swear I got in so much trouble my first day here because I went swimming in just my bikini in mixed company, and Namjoon oppa scolded me for not being appropriately dressed and my brother Yoongi was beyond furious. *I said nearly causing his eyes to pop out of his head, but I just continued my little rant* I mean how was I supposed to know that is kind of taboo here. I mean in LA we would always walk around in our swimsuit tops and maybe a pair of short shorts if we were particularly sensitive to the sun, or a little insecure. But it is not uncommon to see scantly clad girls in much more revealing swimsuits then the one that I was wearing but whatever. I guess it's all just part of the culture here, and that it is something that I am going to have to get used to. *I said and again he nodded* but uh Anyway uh it's nice to meet another person from America who can help me adjust to my new life here in Korea. I mean I have Namjoon, and my brother and the other BTS members, and I have just recently met Mark from Got7 and Joshua from the new rookie idol group Seventeen and both of whom are from LA as well, and well I have gotten close to a few of my other classmates who speak English as well. But well I believe that a person can never have too many friends. Which is why I was so happy to see that BI and the other guys had taken me up on my offer to go to lunch together. Oh but where are my manners, I should probably introduce myself to your other members *I said with a shy smile as I turned to face the other guys who had all just been standing there watching us converse for the longest time while doing their best to keep up with our conversation that as currently taking place in English.* uh Please forgive me, I got too excited to meet an other English speaker besides myself. Annonghayso I am Jade Min, Suga oppa's younger sister and BI, Donghyuk, Junhoe, Chanwoo, and Taehyun's classmate. You three are the other members of Ikon right? and that must make the rest of you guys the members of Winner right? Uh You guys all belong to YG entetertaint I believe, uh if I remembered right that is. *I said and they nodded, as Bobby quickly muttered out a translation for them so that they could follow what I was saying* uh That's cool... uh may I ask what are your names and ages, so that I will know how to address you *I said politely while giving them a friendly smile, and the guys shared a confused look, but Bobby quickly laughed and translated my request to them*
