짜장면 (Black Bean Noodles)

Description

As a student working part-time at my uncle's jjajangmyun shop, I tried to balance studying at university, social life and work just like any 20 year old girl. Lucky me, I was able to deliver jjajangmyun to none other than the famous Kim SungGyu by chance. But let me tell you, Kim SungGyu had a lot of going on. He was also in constant need of boygroup-management-advice, somehow turning me into his undercover idol psychologist. Oh, and did I mention his totally unasked for crush on me?

I was pissed.
Very pissed, that is.

Stupid jjajangmyun addicted boygroup. 
Stupid boygroup addicted daughters of my english teacher.
Stupid english-teacher-crushing me. (Don't judge, he's hot. You'd be crushing on him, too). 
Stupid mecrushing freaking Kim SungGyu.
Stupid SungGyu-slapping best-friend-JaeJin.
Stupid....ah, everybody was so freaking stupid.

And I still hadn't personally met Xiah JunSu.

I kicked my delivery scooter into second gear and shook my head.
And it all ever only started because of that not-so-bad-but-still-flopping-solo-album of his. Another me my . I should have kept my distance.
Stupid me taking pity on idols.

How I would love going home now, but there was no way getting past the bunch of premature sasaeng and Infinite-obsessed girls camping in front of my house.

Was it my freaking fault their beloved group's leader would fall in love with me?
If I were to pick, I'd choose WooHyun anyways.
At least that one didn't have self-esteem issues (in fact, he seemed to be quite the opposite).
But he was already crushing on SungYeol's girlfriend (that nobody knew about, lucky girl).

Why was I getting all the hate? I wasn't even going out with any of them. 

I didn't even try to seduce any of them, for crying out loud.

Hah.

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

First things first. 
Like any story worth telling, this whole mess started on April 14th.
Black Day. Jjajangmyun Day.

I always appreciate (constructive) criticisim and the occassional nice note, so don't be shy! Also, I am not a native English speaker, so if you find any notorious grammar/spelling mistakes, please feel free to point them out to me! :)

Been delaying commenting because I wanted to summarize all of my thoughts after reading all chapters in one sitting, but I'm giving up bcus too much feels lol. I haven't looked forward to an update from a story this much in a while. Idol!gyu feels so dorky and human and real, and I like how the Minae is so nonchalant about the fact that he's a star. Their friendship seemed almost too comfortable for romance to occur, but it just made me ship them more lol. The last chapter was soooo good, but it's torture waiting for the next update.

Chapter 18: I love the twist, I didn't think I would dislike HyeMi as much but after reading this chapter.... It changed my mind xD Anywho, great story thus far, one of the rarest story line I've certainly come across. This chapter was a cute chapter as well with Woohyun. The ending for this chapter was funny xD Love it~
