Describe yourself in four words.

“Attracted...to...unattainable...people…” Jongdae mutters under his breath, jabbing at his keyboard. He groans and mashes the backspace key, bringing the blinking cursor back to its starting position.

Jongdae really wishes that worshipping kpop idols could be considered a marketable skill, because filling out his job application is impossible. He idly wonders if any of his beloved ten members of EXO have ever had to look for jobs in fast food or retail. He hopes not, because the process is tedious and humiliating, two adjectives Jongdae tries to avoid at all costs.

Thoroughly “done” with answering self-reflective survey questions, Jongdae opens a new tab to browse the latest updates of his not-so-guilty pleasure: EXO fanfiction. There’s something about the multitude of members in the group and their complex, versatile personalities that creates infinite possibilities for writing fanfiction. And the caliber of talent within the fandom makes an avid reader of fanfiction such as Jongdae feel like he is in heaven. Reading fanfiction is a welcome escape from the reality of life as a high school student with way too many feelings and not enough money.

Speaking of money, Jongdae had spent almost all of his meager savings on EXO's latest album. Being a two subunit group, he had to spend twice as much, but it was worth it. The albums and accompanying photocards and posters were so, so worth it. (Although, Jongdae had been hoping for a Kris and a Kai photocard, but he somehow wound up with two Baekhyuns. Go figure.)

The only problem is, Jongdae now has barely enough cash to his name to last a week of buying school lunches. Which is why he finds himself applying to McDonald's for the position of "deep fry artist." But there's another reason why Jongdae is applying in spite of his distaste for greasy foods. Namely, Kim Joonmyun.

Even though they've never technically met, Jongdae knows for a fact that McDonald's is Joonmyun's favorite fast food restaurant. It had been published in the school newspaper because Kim Joonmyun is the class president and the most popular guy in the school, so naturally the newspaper had to feature him in an article. It's strange though. Even though everybody knows who Kim Joonmyun is, it seems like nobody really knows him. Jongdae now knows Joonmyun's favorite color, food, restaurant, book, etc., but he still has no idea what kind of person he is besides the fact that he smiles a lot and is impossibly polite to every man, woman, child, and earthworm on the planet.

Kim Joonmyun is a total enigma, and unfortunately, Jongdae happens to have a thing for guys who are hard to understand and way out of reach.
