SIXTEEN.

Found love in a .jpeg file

 

"Saiyonara Japan"______ recited as she was scrolling through her news feed. Wait a minute, something's wrong, she thought.

Hello

She typed. Confused to whether approach with a greeting of 'Ohayou', 'Konnichiwa', or 'Konbanwa'. She's not certain what time it is wherever 'Kim Myeongsu' is so she doesn't know if she'll greet her Good Morning, Good Afternoon or Good evening.

Are you Japanese?

She asked before receiving a reply. She's always been fond of meeting fellow fans all-over the world. One of the reason why she chose 'Tourism' as her college course. She likes learning about different cultures by meeting various people. _______ has a friend in Thailand, whose bias is Sunggyu. She's also friends with a Hoya biased from Indonesia who taught her the word 'Semangat' which means 'Hwaiting' in Korean.

No

'Kim Myeongsu' replied. _______ waited for another reply like 'Why?' or 'I am from (Insert his/her country's name here)' but she didn't receive any.

Oh. Where are you from?

She just typed, in fluent Japanese. She took Japanese lessons ever since she was a freshman and was glad  she did because of all Japanese-related activities INFINITE is involved in.

Korea

Kim Myeongsu replied.

One word replies, Saying he/she's  Korean.. ________thought. "This could only mean one thing.."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"He/She really thinks she/he's L," she smirked.

Oh. So you like L, too?

She typed. Well, It's my first time meeting someone with the same bias as I have so this will be interesting, she thought.

I'm L

Kim Myeongsu replied. 

"Pfft. Of course, and I'm Misa Amane. I have a Death Note and a Shinigami. I'm inlove with Light Yagami.. "She said, tempted to reply with those words but not meaning to be rude.

Have you taken out the photos from your album yet? Excuse me for being rude, if you think I am , but the staff stated that those pictures should not be taken out from the fancafe.

She typed. Since they found a common ground now, convincing her to delete the forbidden photos from her profile will be less of a problem now.

Why?

Kim Myeongsu replied. _________ searched her brain for a reason. That's right. Why isn't it allowed to be taken out again?

Just 'cause. Please respect the rules.

She just replied. 

OK.

Kim Myeongsu replied.

For a Korean fan, shouldn't she be more aware of the rules than I,an International fan? She scratched her head. 

Oh, by the way: さよなら not いよなら :D

She corrected 'Kim Myeongsu's ' spelling, adding a smiling face so that it won't look rude.

Ah, Thank you ~

The latter replied.

______ rolled her eyes. I'm trying to be nice, can't she at least act friendly,too?

Author's note:

In all honesty, I don't know where I have gotten myself in to. LOL. I only know limited Japanese. Hahaha. Anyway, I'll try updating one chapter daily, Okay? Got to take care of things so yeah. xD

BTW, If you guys need a big happy pill, watch the 3rd episode of Ranking King. I've watched it raw and it's really funny (even without the subs. Haha). OR you could watch Grandpa Gyu on strong heart. HAHAHAxD
LE shameless promotion. xD

Since he had experience being in Japan for his filming schedule of a Japanese drama, Myungsoo is better at speaking and understanding Japanese than his fellow group members. It seems like another unsuccessful attempt for her to get her message across to this so-called roleplayer of Myungsoo. Words have no emotional content to them when they're not spoken. That explains why he doesn't seem to be affected by them from reading it. Since his English isn't very fluent here, that excuses him for being unable to completely understand what she messaged him. He is being genuine by not acting friendly when he really isn't being that way. This is proving to be a real challenge to go up against someone who is not fluent in English.

The only Japanese that I know are from watching anime (with English subtitles) and reading manga. I just don't know how to read kanji since I've never learned it.

Maybe she's so eager to go home right away to check her Facebook feed. It is weird to see Myungsoo "obsessing" (according to Hoya) over udon. If I have to continue eating the same thing over and over again, I'd grow tired of it easily and not want to eat it for a while. The other food that he's addicted to is kimchi. He does carry a small amount of it in his personal carrier bag wherever he goes. It's obvious that Sungyeol doesn't want Myungsoo to get the sheets dirty. They practically share the bed while rooming with each other. Sungyeol's definitely "married" to a Taeyeon roleplayer of Facebook. Since there's no chance of that happening in real life, he could have that fulfilled in his own dream world. That makes him no different from typical guys that daydream about their ideal girls. That status change shouldn't be a big deal since it's no secret that he has a big crush on Taeyeon. Sungyeol does have a thing for younger girls. Although she is older than him, Taeyeon does have a youthful appeal about her that makes her seem young for her age.

Yes, it does look like you're stalling for time here. This is slowly building up to the point where she'd get to meet with Myungsoo face-to-face. I don't know what "PBB Teens" is about since I've never heard of it.

Maybe it's fate reaching out to her feelings by randomly playing those sad songs. It might be a way of getting her to re4alize what she's feeling deep down.

Girls with long hair must look more appealing/attractive to him than those with short hair. Everybody has their own preferences. In reality, it's really the heart that matters when it comes to love.

It's true that there's no perfection in anything in life. There's always the good and the bad. Life is full of obstacles.

Advancing to second place on the honor roll is a great leap toward improvement. All that studying and hard work must've paid off for her.

It seems that Sungyeol still hasn't learned his lessons about drinking coffee before going to sleep. He really is naive to not be completely aware of it. Myungsoo seems more like the hyung than he is in their relationship because of his maturity level. He actually is a deep sleeper in real life. I read from somewhere about Myungsoo revealing that he and his fellow group members take about ten minutes each to shower. Though, I don't know about him taking a little longer than that. Since he does tend to drift off into his own world when he's having some quiet time to himself, he's bound to not be conscious of the time slipping by.

This time, you're revealing facts about Myungsoo in the story rather than in author's notes.
