Hello there! ^-^ This is Asian_Innocence with my first ever DBSK fanfic. I’m pretty excited in writing this, as this is uncharted territory for me. Please be patient with me as I try to portray a story that is both K-drama worthy and realistic. I also ask that you stay with me through out this journey. =) I welcome constructive criticism, and love hearing what you have to say.

I do have a winglin account, and have posted my stories up there. If you are one of my previous readers, please don't be afraid of giving a shout out~ You know how much I adored you ^-^

Also special thanks to Mary517 for the amazingly beautifully awesome character charts

Summary

Have you ever wanted to be close to the one you loved? Close enough to even live with them? Jung ChoMin got her wish. After a few unlucky events, she gets to live in the same house, eat the same food, and breathe the same air as the members of Dong Bong Shin Ki. But it isn’t as cool as it seems.

Now imagine, doing laundry, cooking, and picking up after five guys. Not exactly the dream-come-true she wanted; especially from a girl who’s never cooked nor cleaned for herself. Follow her rollercoaster life as she battles crazy fangirls, suspicious bosses, budding romances, and the five hottest men in South Korea.

This is Jung ChoMin, and this is her story.

Characters

... and many more cameos from other celebraties ;)

Jung ChoMin - 19
17 year old Korean-American high school graduate, ChoMin lived with her parents in the US for 14 years. Considered two years older due to differences in counting age in Korea, Ebony (as her American friends call her) was unwillingly into a rollercoaster lifestyle when she visits her cousin, YunHo, for what was supposed to be a little vacation.

Sohn JeeWoon - 17
Cassiopeia fanclub member that befriends ChoMin and gets into her new friend's chaotic, yet amazing life. Her down-to-earth nature is exactly what idealistic ChoMin needs.

Na YoonKi - 19
Poor DBSK fanboy that didn't make the cut to join Cassiopeia. Although two years older than JeeWoon, they have been childhood friends and continue their friendship, eventually befriending ChoMin as well.

Sohn NakMin - 20
Older brother of JeeWoon, his brooding manner and y eyebrows draw in the very fickle ChoMin. Possible love interest perhaps?

Han ChungHo - 42
Head security guard of DBSK's apartment complex. He is a nice, yet strict and firm old man. With his elderly advice, he is bound to guide a few lost souls in the apartment.

Kwak BongCha - 24
As president of the DBSK's fanclub, Cassiopeia, BongCha's got it made. She's rich, pretty, nice - and has full access to the members of DBSK. Only drawback of hers? Her secret love for Kim JaeJoong.

Song YunHee - 6
Adorable, curious, and sweet YunHee lives two floors down from DBSK. She enjoys spending time with ChoMin, and considers her something akin to an older sister.

Yim TaeHyun - 6
Snotty and blunt, he's very protective of YunHee and doesn't like ChoMin too much because of YunHee's affections regarding the older girl.
