after lunch we washed ourselves and went back to the studio on the third floor. ahen we arrived, there were some of the members and people from the crew. they were all chatting.

"good job hazel-ah." chen told me. I was happy to know they were satisfied with my work since i was trying really hard to adapt as quickly as possible.

"kamsahamnida sunbaenim." i noticed jaebum looking at me with a strange face. i tried to not pay too much attention to him otherwise it'll drive me crazy.

"okay let's gather our things and keep going." chen said. i grabbed a few bags and followed him outside. on the street there were a few vans waiting for us, the members got split and six of them were in one van and one of them had to come with us since the space was limited.

"yugyeom-ah go with them!" i heard a member yelling and pushing around a tall boy. he seemed bored and even annoyed, but i laughed at the cute face he made.

"ahh you childish people..." he mumbled in a perfect korean. he grabbed his backpack and walked towards the crew members, following us.

he stood behind me while we waited for the bags to be organized inside the van. i kept looking forward trying to act cool.

"hi." i heard him saying as he touched my shoulder. i turned around and the first thing i met was his wide white smile. he had red bright hair and his skin looked fresh and perfect. he was really handsome indeed, there was no denial of it. "hi." i replied, he smiled widely with his eyes and nodded.

"i am yugyeom, who are you? i saw you inside." he said moving his legs a bit, as if he was dancing.

"i am hazel, mannaseo bangapseumnida."i said smiling, he chukled, apparently i was funny somehow. i frowned as i watched him clearing his throat now.

"i - i speak english – he joked – nice to meet you hazel, that's a cute name." he said and i felt my cheeks suddenly burning. getting compliments from cute boys was something that always affected me. he narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking too hard and finally spoke.

"can i call you zelie?" he asked in a sweet voice. i thought about it and realized it was a nickname from the last letters of my actual name, no one has ever called me like that, I found it cute.

"why?" I said smiling. 

"sounds like silly in english." he laughed. so i didn't know if at this point he was joking or just trying to be funny or even flirty, but either way, whatever he was doing, was totally working on me.

he looked a bit bold to be korean, they usually are very formal with people that are just meeting but this one was different.

"sounds great." i said and he smiled widely while doing a couple of dance moves.

"you can call me just yugyeom or kyum." he said and i looked at him confused.

"it's like a summary of my whole name, kim yugyeom." he said smiling.

"i see, kyum... that's cute too."

"let's go inside kids." chen called us. we stepped inside the van. i was glad he sat next to me, i didn't know all of the crew members and he seemed funny and sweet.

"where are you from? are you british?" i nodded.

"from london?" he asked, his eyes sparkling, i nodded again.

"i've always wanted to go there and take a selfie in those red payphones."

"i actually – i said taking my phone from my pocket – i have a few uploaded on my instagram account." i said and he opened his eyes widely in surprise.
