THIRD PERSON'S POV:

After returning home that night,_ sat on her laptop. Akki entered her room, and putting her hands on her hips asked, "You don't get time to talk to your best friend, huh? How was your day?"

"Guess what, boss offered?"

"Don't tell me you got that k-pop thingy?"

"What else! Now I have to go and stay with them throughout their tour."

"Wow! That's a great opportunity! If you did this report well you could have good job offers by the end of your course!"

"I know. I'm excited and nervous!"

"You'll do great! I'm going out to buy some groceries. Please make sure the house is not robbed."

"For all I know I might help in the robbery too!"

"Then you have to pay for all the stolen stuff."

Akki went away and _ sat down and searched for U-KISS on Google. "Let's learn the names and faces first. Hmm this guy looks familiar."

She clicked on "Kevin Woo" and pictures covered her screen.

"Oh my…"

YOUR POV:

"Oh my god!"

Akki came running into the room and asked, "you alright?"

I pointed at the screen. "this guy is in U-KISS? The arrogant guy who called me a hobo?"

Akki sighed, visibly relaxed. "Yes, that's Kevin. Kevin Woo. His friend lives here in this building, on our floor. He comes to live here often when U-KISS has tours."

"Why didn't you tell me that he was Kevin Woo of U-KISS?"

"I did. But then you weren't listening. Must have been dreaming about him." Akki chuckled.

"Hell, no! What have I got myself into? 1 month with him? I'll go mad! Why does this happen with me?" I whined.

I can't believe this. This is miraculously bad. 1st time I shouted on him even though it was my fault and made a complete fool out of myself. Now I will make a fool out of myself for 1 month! I hope Yuri can handle my disasters.

"Let's see the other members. I'll give you moral support."

"Weren't you supposed to go somewhere?"

"Yes, but the blood curling scream that you gave, made me change my mind."

"Alright. Then help me. This is Lee Kiseop. Dancer, ulzzang, face of the group. Boy is he good looking! He is so~~~"

"Calm your ovaries. We have 4 more to go."

Akki sat beside me on the bed and peered into my laptop.

"I know, but Kiseop looks like a beautiful sculpture. Don't you agree?" I said pointing at the screen. Akki looked at his picture and uttered "my god!"

"Yes he is absolutely gorgeous. Wow!" Akki said fanning herself.

After going through every member's profiles, we came down to Kevin's.

"I don't want to see."

"Be professional."

"Ok."

"So he is a sadge, his birthday is one month before mine, he is 4 years older than me, and is an o+. No one mentioned his cockiness?"

"He seems like a good person. Give him a chance."

"Whatever. Let's check out the interviews and MVs of U-KISS."

It was almost midnight. After laughing our asses off watching the hilarious U-KISS interviews, we had our dinner watching their music videos.

"The songs are really good." I said.

"Yeah, UKISS songs have their own characteristic features. They're always experimenting."

"When did you come to know such a lot about UKISS?"

"Come on, _! I'm a k-pop fan. Even though I'm a Big-Bang fan, doesn't mean I'll be ignorant!"

"Ok."

But coming to think of it, living with k-pop idols as your neighbors, is a pretty big deal. A huge one, to many. How come Akki never spazzed about it?

"Akira, don't you have a fan-girl moment when you meet one of these idols?"

"I've been living here for many years. I've got used to them. This is a locality where you'd find many celebrities. I once saw Tom Hanks here. Can you imagine?"

"Woaah!" I said amazed.

"But of course, you'll be used to these celebrities, how come this never came to my mind? You should be called a posh-baby."

"Don't dare to. It's getting late now. We need to sleep."

As I cleared my bed and got ready to sleep, I thought, "This is a different world here altogether."

I took the next day off. Boss agreed as I told him I'm taking necessary preparations for the project. Actually these preparations were shopping with Akki. And when you go shopping with Akira Takanashi, you need the whole day off.

"We'll go to the EN-VOGUE complex. It's far but the shops are awesome~~~" Akki said in a singsong voice.

"Won't it be expensive?"

"Shut up. I'm buying you clothes. You need to look presentable in front of U-KISS, Kiseop at least. Have you seen that guy? Impeccable fashion sense. Now it's him v/s me."

"Excuse me! I'm not going there to impress anyone. I have to do my job. And what I've learnt about them, they are very professional. So whether I wear pajamas and take their interviews or a bikini, it won't matter."

"Being presentable is every reporter's job. And that includes you. Not a single word more. You'll wear what I say. That's final."

With that I was basically kidnapped by Akira, and landed in the complex.

We shopped in various stores buying dresses, skirts, tops, jeans, accessories, even lingerie.

"What do we need this for?" I asked, pointing at the black lacy lingerie dangling from Akira's hands, obviously irritated.

"Just in case." Akki winked.

"What the fuck? I'm going there for reporting, not for sleeping with them!"

"Women must always wear good underwear. Period."

"Ya. Black lacy ones." I rolled my eyes.

After shopping, we had lunch in one of the restaurants. Tadashi met us there.

"Long time no see. Where were you lover boy?" I asked.

"I had gone to Beijing for some work. I returned yesterday."

Pointing at the shopping bags, Tadashi asked, "what's all this for?"

"Prepping _ for the project. I told you about it."

"Oh yeah. Be careful. If anyone tries anything funny, just kick them in the nuts."

"Now this is called good advice." I said high-fiving Tadashi.

"You'll thank me soon. I know it." Akki said flipping her hair.

We spent the day laughing and chatting and catching up with our stories.

That night I turned off the lights and counted the remaining days. 5 more days to go.
