"I swear that he is always that handsome whenever he appears, that solo shot of his only did nothing but justice to him." I heard my roommate Seulgi from the living room talking about the love of her life that appears in her life every now and then, it is not her boyfriend and she has been single for quite some time after her last boyfriend dumped her for his own freedom.

They were together for a long time and I thought that they would get married but sadly, her boyfriend decided that she wasn't the one for her and left her when she needed him the rest, he didn't come back to her side ever again. And so my roommate and friend remained single till then with no desire to love anyone because she didn't want to get hurt anymore. But for people whom she will only meet on the screen, she is always eager to see them whenever they appear on the big TV screen and with our high-quality television, we are able to see their faces in the most resolution possible and it is as if they are here with us.

I walked out of my bedroom to the living room and she was still busy staring at her newest beau and I shook my head, I can't believe that she is still chasing her favourite celebrity at the age of 28. I remembered the last time that I did that, I was in my early 20s and I have just graduated university and I was stuck at home with nothing to go and so I decided to find things that are more important to my lonely life for now.

Watching TV was the one thing that I enjoyed the most because I would search for inspiration by watching Korean dramas and observing how those famous scriptwriters portray their characters whenever I hit a slump in my writing career, I didn't think that it would help me into getting back my motivation to write a script or a book until I realize that I was holding onto my laptop and opened a new word document while at it.

That was how I started writing again and wrote a few books that helped me to get a few awards, the TV is really wondering sometimes as it somehow unconsciously saves other people's lives even though it is supposed to bring people enjoyment and entertainment while throwing us some obsession and laziness at the same time.

"Who are you obsessed with this time?" I asked her as she continues to stare at the screen and I placed my glass of coffee down on the table, she reached for it and her hands touched the ceramic outer surface of the cup before flinching a second later because of the heat, it is called hot coffee for a reason. "Be careful," I told her.

"Why do you even drink coffee at night? You are going to bed in a few hours." She told me. "Hot chocolate is a better choice for a late-night drink to sleep better."

"I am working till late at night, I have to re-edit my script again because the director isn't satisfied with it and he wants a better ending." She nodded but her eyes have never left the screen and I take note of her facial expression when her beau appears on the screen once again, it was Kim Taehyung, one of HoSeok's members and the ones who frequently visits the set, he was also the one who sent over a food truck earlier to help his fellow member to get some support from the crew and to help us save a bit of money by sponsoring us with food. "So he is Kim Taehyung... A great choice that you have done."

"I know right? I knew that he would be the one that I have been waiting for a very long time, and now he is making me happy with his face and his voice. How can someone that perfect even exist in this world?"

That was my exact thoughts when I first met all the members... Where did these people even come from? The holy land of beautifulness? She let out a sigh. "But it is not like I will ever get to meet him in real life, he is a celebrity actor and I am just an artist, a painter who spends most of her time just painting and never getting out of the house unless I really need to."

I had a sudden thought in my mind and I smiled knowingly. "You know, I can let the two of you meet each other." Her eyes gleamed up at the mention of him. "But I can't guarantee that you guys will really meet."

"He is my good friend's fellow group member and they see each other all the time, and he comes to visit the set that I am working at. He was the one who sent over a food truck to feed everyone on set today." She blinked at me, telling me to continue. "I can arrange for the two of you to meet each other and you can get an autograph from him personally or even get a selfie taken with him."

"Wendy!" She hugged me tightly. "Have I ever mentioned that you are a guardian angel to save you when we need your help and you would help us no matter what?" I shook my head. "You are that guardian angel in our household and you really saved my life."

I took a sip of my coffee and I continued. "I didn't do anything special at all, I thought that I should allow you to meet your idol since you are always staring at him all the time. You need to find a real person to love and he is a real person."

"But it doesn't mean that I will date him for real, I just like him for his looks and that is all." She gave me a bitter smile. "And he is someone really famous and I am not the right person for him, I don't even make as much money as him."

I slapped her back. "When did you even care about such things? You used to be very eager about this and you wouldn't hesitate to meet your idol." I took another sip of my coffee. "it is time for you to find someone better to make you believe in love again, it has been too long since you dated anyone.  If you won't date Kim Taehyung, you can be his friend and you will be able to fangirl around him without looking creepy."

She suddenly gave me a mischievous look. "Is this how you became friends with Jung HoSeok in the first place? So you are able to fangirl around him without looking that you are really in love with him?"
