I live in South Korea. I didn't always live here. My dad works in the military, so we've constantly moved. This is the last place they stationed us. I've been here for 4 years. I learned not to grow attached to people in case we moved again. It makes leaving places easier. Well, that's what I thought.

But all of that was about to change. I met someone. A boy. He and some of his friends moved into the apartment right next to my family's. I wanted to introduce myself, but I chickened out. Multiple times.

It wasn't until the one close friend I actually had here literally pushed me in front of his door, knocked on it, and held me in front of his apartment.

He opened the door, shirtless and in sweatpants.

"Um, hi," I said.

"Hey. Uh, do you mind if I grab a shirt real fast?" he asked stepping behind the door.

"Oh, no, not at all," I smiled and he grinned back, shutting the door. I started shaking and looked at my best friend and said, "Ohhh, my God. Sarah! Did you see him?"

Sarah replied, "Heck, yeah, I saw him. Hard to miss that 8-pack."

I pushed her away and said, "Oh, shut up. All you care about is abs."

"True. But did you SEE them?"

"Yeah," I blushed.

"So that's your boyfriend?" she asked.

I shook my head, "No! He just moved here."

She laughed and said, "What are the odds of a hot guy moving in-"

"With his friends," I added.

"With his friends right nextdoor to you?"

"Is it weird that I just met him and I already feel like we're gonna have so much fun together?" The door opened behind me as I continued talking, "Can you imagine all the places we could go, the food we could eat, and the movies we would watch? We could go to Seoul, eat kimchi fried rice, and watch the entire High School Musical trilogy."

"That sounds amazing," a guy's voice said from behind me.

I turned around to see the guy standing right there in front of us in the doorframe of his apartment. We stared at each other for a second before he stepped forward, "Oh! My name's JK. And you are?"

I stood at a loss of words. Sarah swooped in and saved the day, "This lovely girl is my best friend, Cassie. She's the greatest person you'll ever meet. I just happen to be her best friend, Sarah. I'm only here so she will actually talk to someone."

"Nice to meet you two. Would you care to come in and have something to drink? Or maybe something to eat?"

I started to refuse, but Sarah interrupted me, "She'd love to."

He offered me his hand and I took it. He lead me inside. I asked "Sarah, are you coming?"

She looked around a bit and answered, "No. You can handle this on your own," and she walked away.

Jungkook shut the door behind me and led me to a reasonably large living room. I looked around the bare room and asked, "Where are all your friends?"

He replied, "They're all out at the shops and stores. I would've gone with them but I overslept. Can I get you something to drink? Water? Tea, maybe? Lemonade?"

"Tea's fine," I said.

He walked to the kitchen and came back with two glasses of tea. "So, out of curiosity, why did you come here?" Jungkook asked me.

I thought a bit before replying, "Well, you see, I live right nextdoor to you and I thought maybe I should introduce myself. But I didn't rack up enough courage to do so until now."

"Ahhhh," he nodded.

We sat in silence for a moment before I said, "Well, tell me about yourself. What are your hopes? Dreams? Passions? What do you want to do with your life?"

He didn't even have to think about it, "I'm in a band actually. You've probably heard of it by now. It's called BTS."

"Wait," I stood up, "so you are THE Jungkook from BTS?"

"In the flesh," he answered.

"No way. I thought maybe you and him just had some similarities, but no. You're the real deal."

He laughed, "Just, please don't make it a huge deal. We came here to get away for awhile."

I stepped closer to him, "Trust me. Your secret's safe with me." I got a text from my mom. "Uh, I gotta go. It was very nice meeting you," I said walking towards the door.

"Yeah, you too!" Jungkook opened the door for me and continued, "We should hang out sometime. Just me and you."

"I'd like that a lot."

"Cool! Tomorrow at 7 work?"

"Perfect! See ya around!" I stepped out and walked next door to my apartment and went inside.
