– SEOUL, K-STAR TALENT BUILDING –

  New day at work, new day for cleaning CC's mess. Don't these girls feel embarrassed? Whatever. These days have been soo tough between classes and my job. I nearly got 4 hours of sleep last night and that's not going to look attractive in a few more months. My face, it's never been better after I started using Korean methods, I had an acne problem at high school when I was a Junior I was not happy of, my face was never fully covered with acne, but some weeks it would just burst out of no where to my forehead or I'd get some on my cheeks. It was a pain until I started taking better care of my face. I graduated with a pimple free face, until next morning when I got a tiny pimple under my bangs.

  Graduation meant dreams come true for most of them, except for me I never wanted to leave my friends or grow up. Kind of like Peter Pan. But now I'm way glad that I graduated. I'm in a foreign country, at college, I have a job and friends. I can't complain. Well I shouldn't because I do complain sometimes. Mostly about the food, I miss eating beef burgers and mofongo ( mashed plantains ). My dad likes to make mofongo at home when he cooks, that's a traditional food of Puerto Rico. I'm Puerto Rican-American.

  "The guy with the blue hair?" Asks Liv.

  Mina and Liv came to visit me at my Lunch hour. There was also free vegetable rolls and fries so that's one more reason they came.

  "Guys with blue hair are handsome!" Exclaims Mina while braiding my hair.

  "You did take the Makeup and Hair artist course right Izzy?" Asks Liv.

  "Yes, it was a one year course, why?"

  "I've got a job for you." Says Liv.

  "Really?!" I exclaim.

  "Stay still Izzy, or it'll look like a mess." Says Mina.

  "Didn't you know your own work place is needing makeup and hair artist? You should ask for an interview Izzy."

  Even Liv knows more of what's going in my own job. I'm always soo spaced out with work and my classes that I didn't notice.

  "Yes Izzy! You'll be the makeup and hair artist of the K-Pop Idols. I hope you become world famous and take us behind the scene-"

   "Yes, of course Mina." I cut her off.

  "Yay! I'm soo excited, I know you'll get the job. You gave me an awesome haircut and you gave Liv some natural-looking highlights." Says Mina.

  "Don't worry Izzy, Mina's right you'll get the job. If you take an interview soon." Says Liv taking a bite off a vegetable roll.

  "From 2:00 PM five whole hours. Plus I sometimes work an extra hour in the weekends." I explain.

  Liv looks in the mirror and faces us again.  –"Perfect, you got loads of time to take the interview and study for Mr. Park's major test."

  "Oh, you're right you must remember to study Izzy." Says Mina.

  Honestly I haven't studied, it's not that I'm lazy or that I don't remember but I just don't have time. I'm going up and down an elevator, through this hall and to this other room in the afternoons and it tires me out. I always get soo stressed out because of CandySwirl, she is rude and has even been throwing water bottles and towels at me. I found out her real name is Lee Eung Sang, thanks to Jeonmin. He's been really nice to me, we usually hang out on my breaks when he's out from practicing. It's odd he still hasn't come sit with me yet maybe he's practicing, I don't see any of the other members of NightEight at the Cafeteria.

  "I will." I say.

   "Dang these are good." Says Liv eating another vegetable roll.

  "Definetly, Izzy we should visit you way more often to eat these. Even I think the fries are good and I don't like eating fries." Says Mina with a fry in her hand.

 
  I giggle.  –"Sure, if you give me the money to buy them for you. These are only for free today."

  "Girls, blue hair alert." Says Liv.

  I look where Liv and Mina are looking and see the NightEight members entering the cafeteria and there was Jeonmin. The guy with the blue hair. He picked up a tray with a bowl and an egg. He seemed to be looking for a place to sit and then he spotted me. Jeonmin was heading to our table. The girls will fangirl him away from the table for sure. But I hope they don't.

  "Izzy, he's cute." Whispers Liv facing me again.

  "Very very cute." Whispers Mina.

  Jeonmin places his tray next to me and takes a seat. He smiles at me.

  "Annyeong Isa, "  He looks towards the girls.  –"Those are Liv and Mina, right?" He whispers in my ear.

  I nod.

  "Hello, nice to meet you ladies I'm Choi Jeon-Min and Isa has told me a lot about you guys." Says Jeonmin.

  "Nice to meet you as well I'm Olivia Smith. " Says Liv.

  "I'm Kang Mi-Na, pleasure to meet you. My boyfriend is from the group One Step, Dae-Suk, do you know him?" Asks Mina.

  Jeonmin's eyes widened when Mina said Dae-Suk's name.

  "Yes, I do. He talks a lot about you and don't worry he hasn't been around girls." Says Jeonmin taking his chopsticks and picking some noodles from the bowl and eating them.

  "Oh, that's great!" Cheers Mina.

  "She's really jealous." Says Liv.

  "A lot." I say.

  "But Izzy is chill." Says Liv.

  I glare at Liv.

  Jeonmin snorts.

  I elbow Jeonmin's arm and he kicks my leg.

  "Don't hit me." I complain.

  "Ya, you hit me first." Jeonmin raises his elbows and looks towards me with a smile in his face.

  "Just eat Jeonmin."

  "Stop being bossy, is she always bossy?" Asks Jeonmin to Liv and Mina.

  "Usually, but she's a real scaredy cat." Says Mina.

  The guy with purple hair sits next to Mina, Liam.  –"Hey, what's up?"

  When he looks at Mina he gets up and sits on the chair to my left. Leaving me in the middle of Blue and Purple hair.

  "Sorry, but it's that you're Kang Mi-Na, Dae-Suk's girlfriend and he gets pretty jealous." Explains Liam to Mina.

  Mina seemed oddly happy because of what Liam said.

  I'm not exactly friends with Liam, I just know who he is because of Jeonmin, we've never actually introduced each other. I believe he knows who I am, I think everyone knows I'm beginning to think CandySwirl is spreading some rumors about me since I saw a group of girls I didn't know laughing my way and there was CandySwirl and Cupcake, one of her rude bandmates, with them. I don't care that much but it is starting to get annoying.

  As Mina was asking the guys a ton of questions about who is friends with her boyfriend and if he's nice to everyone etc. I see Jun, the airport guy, looking at me from the other table where the other members of NightEight were eating. I smile at him, he grins. His pitch black hair messy, his muscular finish and his perfectly white teeth is completely hypnotizing. He's really handsome. But he never speaks to me. Not since that day. The day we saw each other again after we met at the airport.

A/N:

  Written on October 7th, 2017.

  Still no internet and no way for me to publish this. I'm writing today because I charged my phone on my stepdads car. I've got 2%, my phone didn't charge that much only about 30% I think. 

  We'll see way more of Liam soon.

  Instead of a love triangle, have you heard about a love square? 😂

  Wait! No spoilers! See you in the next chapter. Btw I'm writing more about Liam in my journal! I write there when I can't use Wattpad.
