December 15^th, 2015

It has been a week since Nazia started living in Seoul. She's studying business management in Seoul University, but is still not used to the environment. The different language, different food, the completely different culture is slightly overwhelming for her but she's still trying her best to cope.

Today was just like any other day. Even though she hated early mornings, she would always get up early to avoid chaos since she shared the dorm room with two other girls when it was meant for only two people. Today, she got up early once again, dragged herself to the washroom, got dressed and left for her first lecture, economics. Even though she was extremely early for her lecture, she still went into the lecture hall and took her seat. Economics was taught by Mr. Lee, who usually avoids talking to students and stays in his own little world. Today was special though, after the lecture had ended, he called Nazia down to speak to her privately.

“Miss Nazia, right?” Mr. Lee said from his desk looking his round glasses.

“Yes, sir. I heard you wanted speak to me?” She replied.

“Ah, your Korean is pretty good for a foreigner.”

“Thank you... but....”

“Ah yes, yes. I was told to tell you to go to the guidance office”

“What's guidance?” Nazia replied questioningly as this was a new word for her.

“Oh, pardon me. In English you would say 'guidance.' They help out students with the social aspects of life.”

“Oh! Guidance office. That must be for my housing, I don't exactly have a place to stay as of yet.”

“Really? Then you better hurry along.” Mr. Lee looked down at a paper submitted by one of the senior students and did not pay any farther attention to her.

“O...k.. Thank you for informing me...” She politely said, but he paid no attention to her.

She walked out of the lecture hall and went to the main office, where the guidance office was located. She went up to a lady at her front desk and was told to wait until a guidance counsellor was free to consult her. Nazia didn't mind waiting since she didn't have any other classes that day. After waiting for about 20 minutes, when Nazia was quite sure that she had fallen asleep, she suddenly heard her name being called.

“Yes, that's me.” She stood up and looked around, while fixing her glasses to see who had called her.

“Please, come inside.” A lady kindly said as she walked into a smaller office. Nazia followed her in and sat down when the lady gestured her to do so.

“So you're Nazia, right? I am Miss Kwon and you're having trouble finding a dorm room?”

“Yes, and honestly I am willing to take anything given to me” She said desperately.

“Are you sure about that?” Miss Kwon said with a mysterious smirk on her face.

“Yes...” She answered nervously.

“What do you feel about living 10 minutes from here? You'll have your own room.”

“I don't mind, since I don't have any classes really early in the morning.”

“But there is a catch...”

Nazia just looked t her blankly.

“You'll be sharing the room with 6 other guys.”

“6 GUYS?! How can I do that?” Nazia awkwardly yelled.

“The thing is, they are actually and idol group. They need an assistant manager but can't find a suitable candidate. Since you were highly recommended to our university, we thought of offering that job to you. The boys' company will take care of your living and dining expenses and will pay you 500,000 won a month. I assume that's approximately $500. Plus you only have 3 courses this semester so the work load should not affect your marks.”

“Umm... I don't know Miss...”

“...Otherwise you'll have to find your own apartment to live in, and the rent is getting quite expensive these days.” Miss Kwon slyly said.

“But may I ask, which idol group they is?”

“It should be 'which idol group they are' or 'which idol group it is,' the latter being more correct. But that's fine, you'll slowly learn as you speak more Korean. And they are called Beast, you've heard of them right?”

Only one thing was going on in Nazia's head at this point:

“NO FREAKIN' WAY!”

---------------x----------------

This is a slightly boring chapter but yeah... There needed to be a reason why she was living with Beast. I have no idea what kind of a writer I am so PLEASE comment so I know what I need to do to make it better. Next chapter would be completely Beast/Yoseob POV about her arrival... So yeah....

Hope you enjoy!
