A visit to South Korea leads to unexpected repercussions for three girls.
This story is loosely based on the BTS mini drama, 'Flower Boys Bangtan High School.' The rest was off the top of my head and, of course, inspired by the daydreams of three fa...
Tricia had another heart attack. Her second class - Korean - was due to begin, and when the teacher walked in, she saw that he was none other than Jung Hoseok.

She stared at Hoseok as he dropped his stuff on the teacher's desk. He placed both hands on the varnished surface and smiled brightly.
"Good morning, class."
Tricia wanted to swoon. His smile – what magic was behind this amazing phenomenon? And his hair – he had pushed it back in a formal but cool style, exposing his charming forehead. It was a look she hadn't seen since the group's previous eras.
She looked at Jungkook, expecting to see a sign of recognition. But Jungkook appeared indifferent.
The class chanted back the greeting.
"Good morning, Mr Jung."
Tricia almost choked.
Mr Jung?
"Ah, what a beautiful day," sighed Hoseok, gazing wistfully out the windows. "It's almost a pity to conduct a class on this fine morning."
He cleared his throat, as if to pull himself together.
"Anyway, we have a new transfer student today. Her name is – well, why don't you stand up and introduce yourself?"
Tricia got to her feet obediently.
"Hi everyone," she said with a polite bow. "My name is Tricia. It's nice to meet you."
Then she looked at Hoseok.
"Hobi," said Tricia, and then stopped herself. "I mean, Mr Jung, how did you become a high school teacher? I mean, you look a little young to be one."
Jungkook and the rest of the class looked at her. Normally Tricia would have been embarrassed, but too many weird things had happened. All she wanted now were answers.
Hoseok chuckled. "Mr Kim and I get asked that a lot. There aren't many people who become high school teachers at twenty three, but you can call it a mix of effort and luck."
Tricia nodded and feigned a smile. She had tried to look up 'BTS' on her phone earlier, and it didn't take her long to realise that the band didn't exist.
This world was different. Bizarre. Just like in Once Upon A Time, a TV show she had watched where the fairytale characters hadn't realised they'd been living in a false reality.
Only this was her reality.
Tricia turned her face back to Hoseok, who was officially starting the class.
"All right, everyone. Today we'll be discussing a passage from Lee Min Ho's autobiography, 'Faith...'"
Tricia was glad the three of them had studied Korean rigorously for the past six months in preparation for their trip to Korea. Her mind wasn't really on the lesson. She kept glancing between Jungkook and Hoseok, wondering what was going on.
