This was totally not happening.

"Kaori-san, we went over this already. You're going to school. In America, of all places, but still, a good education. You need that."

Kaori remembered right at that moment, her jaw dropped to the floor. Okay, so not really, but you get the point.

The Korean groaned and scratched her head. She'd never get to meet T.O.P-oppa or Himchan-oppa, or any of her other future husbands. And all she needed was a simple backstage pass. But, no, Kiku-oppa (older brother terms) just HAD to spend all of his damn money enrolling her into an American college.

Okay, it was a really nice place, and a top university, but still...why? Kaori loved Korea, and she could get a good-enough education to get at least the job of a secretary.* It wasn't her dream job, but she could live off of that. As long as her boss doesn't fall in love with her like in those dramas...

Kaori lay on her blue-sheeted bed, staring at the plain ceiling. Not even one star, or moon, like at home. The dorm owners wouldn't allow such childish things. Tsk...

She was here on an art major, hoping to become a full-time comissioning artist one day. She would have even loved to become a mangaka, but Oppa (Kiku) wouldn't let her. He said she would, exact quoting, 'bring shame to his home country.' What kind of bullcrap was that?

So, now, Kaori was stuck, alone in a dorm room because her roommates were out partying (she hasn't even met them yet, mind you). Such a tragedy. Her first day here, too.

Kaori's stomach growled loudly. "Uwah..!" she whined. "So hungry!"

She kicked off her blanket and sat up on the small, uncomfortable bed. Her lip quivered. She missed her warm, soft covers at home. Another hunger pang aroused, and she groaned and jumped off of the bed. Her legs suddenly felt cold.

"I can't go out like this..." Kaori murmured. She was just in her light-green boyshorts underwear. She fished through her bag with all of her belongings for her favorite pair of Hello Kitty pants. "Perfect."

She swiftly slipped the pants on, and headed out the dormitory room. She pulled her map out of her jacket pocket. "Cafeteria...cafeteria..." she murmured. Her eyes locked on the largest building on the map. The cafeteria!

She sped to the left, then to the right, mentally tackling the students walking past in an assassin way. "I've been playing wa-y too much Assassin's Creed..." she muttered and laughed.

Finally, Kaori found the cafeteria. She ran in there, Assassin way.

"Ow!"

Before she knew it, Kaori was falling down. "Ouch..." she said, and cussed in Korean. Ar least she landed safely on the grou-

Oh, crap. Oh, crap.

The looked at the person beneath her, only about a nose length away.

She took in his appearance.

Blonde, glasses, blue eyes, weird cowlick-

"Hey."

American.
