I had been watching the boys' practice for the rest of my day while doing little jobs here and there, whenever I was needed. I couldn't stop thinking about how amazing they all were, learning dances and singing, all to their own music. Honestly, I was getting a little jealous, I know it sounds weird and I'll probably never tell this to anyone because it makes me feel ashamed... but I've never had a dream. Growing up I've always just existed, I've never had a drive... for anything... and that never seemed like a problem before, but watching the boys perform with such passion, it made me sad. I wish that one day I could be that passionate about something... anything.

...

The day passed by fairly quick and it was already time to go home, the boys wanted me to stay longer, but I promised Mrs. Ghim I'd be back by 6:00. Therefore, instead we decided that I'd ask for tomorrow, so that I could have dinner around theirs and get back just in time for my curfew at 9:00.

...

Sunday arrived and Mrs Ghim had agreed that I could spend dinner at a friend's, but if I was late getting home, there would be consequences. Her threat didn't really scare me that much, she'd only not feed me for a few days, I think I could handle that. I could feel that I had already lost weight from the new bagginess of my school uniform, I knew I should be worried about myself, but, how could I? when everyone thought I was a pig...

I could feel the chilliness of the air on my way to work, October had arrived and with it the cold wind and the even colder nights. I am excited for winter and all the snow, my new goal for the rest of the year is have a snowball fight with the boys.

....

Today went a little quicker than yesterday, maybe because I spent most of my morning with the boys, like I was yesterday. The only difference was that we were in the BANGTAN room and one other recording room, so that the boys could record some of their vocals for a new song. It was my job to go get the producers coffee and the boys something that would help sooth their voices, though Yoongi insisted that he would have coffee instead.

The rest of my day was spent in a cupboard fixing headsets and de-tangling wires, which I actually found quite therapeutic. My final job of the day was the Sunday toilet cleaning, which wasn't going to be the most glamorous of activities. I retrieved the equipment from the cleaning cupboard and headed to the woman's restroom first, I don't think I was mentally prepared for the men's yet.

The bathroom was pretty clean, I just did a once over all the surfaces to make them shine, including the mirrors. Then scrubbed some of the toilets and made sure all were spotless and unclogged. Finishing with a quick mop and dry of the floor, as well as a spray of air freshener, I was pretty pleased with my efforts.

When I walked into the men's toilet, there was a whole different story, it was like a bomb had gone off in there. It made some sense when I thought about how many males actually worked here, especially when you think how all the idols are male.

After putting the 'cleaning in progress' sign outside the door, I decided to swallow my pride and get to work making this room spotless, I really wanted to impress Bang PD with my efforts. I started with the walls and mirrors thinking I'd work my way down to the utter devastation that was the floor. The toilets and urinals weren't that nice to clean but I had to do what I had to do and didn't think too much into it. Finally, after a while of scrubbing it was time to do the floor... god I wish I had one of those medical masks... this was gross. I used the mop to scrub as hard as I could, bringing up the stains and letting the white marble underneath re-surface and shine. There were times that I had to get out a sponge and clean with my hands, I had never been more thankful for rubber gloves in my life. It definitely took longer than the woman's bathroom, but after a while I was finally done, the place was spotless, looking like a completely different room.
