There was no reply from Kiseop for a couple of days, and you know that you finally made yourself clear to him as "weird". He probably never wanted to message you again. 

But then again, he hasn't tweeted either, when normally Kiseop would tweet 2-3 times a day. 

As if I knew him well, you thought to yourself sarcastically. 

But other strange activity happened. U-KISS Soohyun started following you on twitter. And he mentioned you in a tweet in Korean that you didn't bother reading or translating. Something in the back of your head kept bugging you to why Kiseop never replied. 

He's probably just busy, said your mind. 

No, _______, it's something else, said your heart. 

You tried to ignore them altogether, and went along with your Tuesday routine. Suddenly, the phone rang. 

"Hello?"

"Is this Jinkyoung or ________?" A rich, deep voice asked. 

"This is ________, this is my cellphone number." 

"Oh, thank god, ________, this is Ken." 

"Oh hi." 

Why is he calling me, why is he calling here and not asking for Jinkyoung, why? you thought. 

"What's up?" he asked. 

"Nothing really, just cleaning the place up…. after Jinkyoung." you responded blandly. He laughed. A deep laughed that sent warmth down to your heart. 

"She's a messy one isn't she? That's why I didn't dare mess with her." he said, laughingly. 

"Haha, I live with her." You stated sadly. 

"Surprise you aren't one of her." He said, which puzzled you. 

"What are you saying, Ken?" You said, a little edge in you. 

"No, I meant, you don't drink, smoke weed, have …." 

"How do you know?" 

"Uhmm… well.. Jinkyoung told me." 

"And what business did you guys have in talking about me?" you asked playfully, a laughing tone in your voice. 

"Would it be wrong to say maybe I asked?" 

You pondered this. You've never seen Ken before in your life, why would he ask Jinkyoung about you?

"But how did you know me?" 

"_________… You're in my Bio class." 

"Huh?! But I've never seen you before?" 

"Because maybe once in awhile you should take your head off your desk, and stop being so depressed." 

Did this really get to a point where you were so oblivious to the things around you?

"Oh… I… I'm sorry…" you said. 

"It's alright, I just noticed that, and I wondered why you were always like that."

"I see," you continued, "But what does that do with you calling me now?" 

"Wow, you really like to get to the point!" He exclaimed. "But I was wondering if you would like to lunch with me tomorrow afternoon?" 

Oh my gosh. Someone was asking you out. You silently panicked, but then decided that you needed to get a life. 

"Sure, Ken." you said with a smile, though you knew he couldn't see it. 

"Alright then, I'll see you tomorrow!" he said happily. 

"Wait, one more question."

"Yeah?"

"How did you get my number?" 

"I follow you on Twitter, your cell number is listed on your profile. Yeah, yeah, call me a stalker." 

You laughed. "No, it's okay, I figured Jinkyoung gave it to you." 

"She's the last person I would ask." You both laughed. 

"Okay see you tomorrow, Ken." 

"Bye." 

"Bye." 

You hung up. Your fingers killed to type up a message to Kiseop, but you didn't want to seem annoying. 

I won't tell him until he replies me, you thought to yourself. Now that you had a date tomorrow, things didn't seem half as bad. Something else still bugged you though. You had never seen Ken in your Bio class. It was November now, you would have noticed him by now. Maybe he's new? you thought. You shrugged it off. 

 

**IN SOUTH KOREA** 

 

Kiseop felt his heart tugging at him in nervousness as Soohyun took the laptop. 

"Don't worry Kiseop-ah, I'll help you out. I'm sorry it took 'til now - Tuesday night, though. Since Eunyoung isn't available for the big show next month to sing 'April Story' with me, we're trying hard to find a replacement." 

"Hyung, don't worry about it." Kiseop said, nervously playing with his fingers. 

"I still can't believe you're giving up drinking and partying for her. That was like, what you were known for!" 

"I just, I don't know hyung.. she seems different and special. Are you sure this plan will work?" 

"Lemme read her first tweet. You mentioned something about it that I think can be the base of our plans." Soohyun said, scrolling through Kiseop's twitter page. 

"There! That's her first tweet." Kiseop pointed. 

"Okay, wait." Soohyun started reading it. All of a sudden, he flashed a smile. 

"Jackpot." He highlighted one line, and showed it to Kiseop. The line said this: 

"i would love to see you guys live, but my family can’t afford to get tickets to your concert. :’("

"What about it?" Kiseop wondered. Soohyun rolled his eyes. 

"She wants to see us live, but can't afford tickets. If we get her VIP tickets, and cover her costs for coming here, you can meet her and verify if your feelings are true!" 

Meeting her in PERSON? Kiseop thought. His heart thudded. 

"But where do we get that much money?" Kiseop wondered aloud. Soohyun laughed nervously. 

"Now that's something to think about." 

"What is the pricing for a ticket there and back, say for two weeks? I need that much time to verify. Oh, get her first-class seats as well. And we need to cover hotel costs.. or should we just clear out a room in the dorm? I can cover her meals and stuff…." 

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Kiseop! She hasn't even confirmed if she would WANT to come. She has a life too, in high school! She can't just miss two weeks of classes, it would kill her education!" 

Kiseop ran his fingers through his hair, embarrassed at his selfishness. "Okay, let's ask her." 

"Kiseop, we need to find a way to get the money first. We can't say anything until we fully have it, because what if we say it and can't do it?" Soohyun stated a good point. 

"But hyung, that could take a long time! I can't wait." Kiseop whined. 

"Patience, Kiseop-ah," Soohyun teased, punching him in the arm. Kiseop did a dramatic double-over, and laughed. 

"Okay, okay. So I'll just casually message her back then?" he asked. 

"Go for it." Soohyun winked. Kiseop pulled out his phone, still lying on the floor. He started typing. 

"Hey _______-ah.. I hope you don't mind me using banmal :) Wow, your roommate seems…..nice. lol ;) Really? He winked at you and left? Probably about Jinkyoung, heheh. Yeah, I know what you mean, I've been to enough parties to know that. I'm really trying to stop it all. What does it matter if Ken drinks? He was with your y roommate right? A girl like you deserves a better guy. :) *Sighh, about me, what is there to say? Practice, rehearsals, schedules, performances. Though it's a lot of work, I love it. I have the passion, because once you're on stage, all the hard work seems worth it. I'm sure your life is so much more interesting. Oh, and you're different because you are. I don't know why, I feel different when I look at your pictures than anyone else's. ;)" 

He clicked enter, and then laid his head back and sighed. He put a hand behind his head and thought. 

"I really do like her, don't I? It's so weird… I hope she agrees coming over here."
