My boyfriend is Lee Min-ho

Chapter Five - Getting the basics right

I arrived at the KBS (Korean Broadcasting Station) building promptly at ten in the morning. After I had received the Announcement email from Professor, it was followed up by an email from the KBS staff to report to the office on Monday morning for a briefing. 

The KBS building looked nowhere more impressive than an office building except that it was blue in colour. But this was the building where the korean stars walked in and out of for work. Cass had wanted to come along with me because she wanted to try her luck to see if she would run into any big stars here. Turn out, she had to meet her Professor and couldn't make it after all.

Thank goodness it wasn't that difficult to get to KBS although it did took me about an hour on the train and I had to squeeze with the morning working crowd. And since it was blue in colour. all the more made it easier to spot among all the neighbouring offices.

There was a small crowd of commotion when I stepped into the lobby and I turned to look curiously. As compared to Cass and Hailey. I wasn't a korean-star fan as much as them. And if these stars were turned up in their slacks and loose make-up, I probably wouldn't even recognise them. A couple of cars stopped to drop passengers and there were cameras flashing. The guys kept their head down buried in their hoodies as they hastened their steps into the lift lobby. Only when they were safe after the security gantry did they managed to lift up their heads.

"Taken your breakfast?" one of them asked to the other. I tried not to be overly interested in their conversation but since we were all waiting for the same elevator, I had nothing else to do.

"Not yet," his friend answered. "Overslept."

"I'm thinking of changing my hair colour," the first guy continued as he shook his hair with his hand. "Change my image a little."

His friend chuckled, "What image?"

Just then, the elevator came. I hesitated. I waited for them to go in first. "Please," the first guy offered politely with a hand gesture for me to go in first. I blushed slightly and thanked him. Once inside, I was asked the level which I wanted to go. All very polite and respectful.

They paid no additional attention to me, perhaps assuming that I was a staff in this building. This office was after all, a huge one, so it wouldn't be surprising that you didn't know everybody.

"Hyung," the first guy began again. "You think Shindong will be able to get exemption this time?"

My ears perked up. I recognized that name. Well, the only Shindong I knew was from Super Junior. I decided to take a closer look at the both of them. To my alarm, I realised they were Eun Hyuk and Lee Teuk from Super Junior! Sheesh, my palms began to sweat. I couldn't believe I was sharing an elevator with them! I could almost scream out loud!

They exited at level six, leaving the bewildered me alone in the elevator. I bit my lip before I let out a sigh of frustration. Jeez, what could I have done in that situation? I couldn't even take out a pen to ask for autograph. Damn...

The elevator finally arrived at level ten and I walked out absent-mindedly still thinking about the earlier situation when I bumped into somebody. The person held both hands on my arms in reflex.

"Sorry!" I apologised profusely. When I looked up, I almost choked.

"Are you okay?" he asked with a look of concern. I couldn't even utter a word. I simply nodded. Seeing that I was unharmed, he simply smiled before he released his hands. He rushed forward to catch the elevator and disappeared before I could thank him.

I couldn't believe my eyes. My heart rate had once again shot up to hundred-and-seventy, I believed. It hadn't quite recovered after the elevator encounter. The man whom I bumped into, I believed he was Choi Jin Hyuk. Oh my goodness me! He was even more handsome up close despite the little wrinkles that I thought I spotted. His skin was flawless which actually made me ashamed of myself since I was a girl. Except for the eyebags, he was really really perfect. I let out a sigh. And I let him slipped out of my hands, without an autograph once again. I must really pay attention to whoever that I came across...
