Strawberry

-ssi is a suffix that is used like Ms. or Mr. It can be attached to the given name (Jimin-ssi) or to the full name (Park Jimin-ssi), but I never heard it being attached to the last name (not Park-ssi). I know that the spoken English language does not have the first kind of addressing, in German it would be addressing someone by their first name while still keeping up the "Sie".

When I took you out, I knew what you were all about,

But when I did, I didn't mean to turn you on.

Hoseok loved his life as a matchmaker, or spirit of souls but that was old-fashioned. At least he loved it most of the time. Seeing people having starry eyes and smiling all day long was just so nice, but sometimes he could pull his hair out at what humans did. It was so frustrating to watch when they left behind what he had set up so skillfully. He was always right, why would they not understand that? What standards, what single life spirit? Why would they ignore something that was so obviously good?

Well, but those were rare cases. Most of the time he was successful and got a good fill on love, adoration, and happiness to quench his hunger.

Unfortunately, he had set his mind on solving such a rare disappointing case. Kim Seokjin. Handsome actor and eternal bachelor. A crush for every of his female co-actors and fans and a big portion of his male fans. Ah, and rich. That seemed to be worth something in the human world.

But as it appeared, he was unwilling to engage in anything that smelled remotely like a relationship. Any matching soul Hoseok had found for him had been ignored or friend-zoned almost as quickly as Hoseok had introduced them. The amount of times he had made a nice girl or boy stumble into this moron's arms was ridiculous. He had even tried several different ages and ethnicities to cope with the high standards someone like Kim Seokjin might have had, but to no avail.

Kim Seokjin was unmatchable.

But in the spirit world something like unmatchable did not exist, so somewhere there had to be the lid to this pot. That was why Hoseok once again was following the actor from his flat to his new shooting spot of a drama that was about some rich mean man meeting a self-made woman with morals. It was all the same, truly.

The shooting had only begun about a week ago, and Hoseok had hoped for a member of the cast or even some nice assistant of the crew to be a fit. And since destiny loved him, he had been lucky. The main actress and the lighting assistant guy were a good fit. If those failed there was still the intern.

So far, he had made the lighting assistant stumble over a cable and fall into the back of a Kim Seokjin who had been surrounded by mask staff. The black line of eyeliner that had been drawn squarely over the actor's face had made the two guys laugh brightly and exchange names.

As for the actress, he was positive that there would come enough opportunities for a matchmaking over the time of the drama shoot. Thus, trying to find a good time to work his magic with her, he had curled himself around the silver pipe of the grill's drain and watched what was happening at the table underneath.

Apparently today they would shoot a scene in a family restaurant where both got drunk and kissed which she would forget the next day. Hoseok sighed at the context. The amount of times he had had to repeat a kiss because one of the two had been out of it... alcohol and the youth of today...

Honestly, he did not know what else to do but to watch. He could not make up a better opportunity. After today's shooting he would give them a chance to be alone to repeat this in private and then he would see if his plan could work out.
