I walked into the living room only to meet a sea of people who called themselves my crew
359Please respect copyright.PENANAEuJTAYv4wh
What the hell, I never asked for a crew and they didn't tell me I would have a crew, what were they meant for
359Please respect copyright.PENANA4X46xDgzLi
Rina looked at me pitifully "you've got to sit down" I look at her still frowning slightly, I could do my make up and I don't need people pulling and dragging me for the next one hour
359Please respect copyright.PENANA2xtDkHEveH
"I thought they said we weren't starting until next month" I whispered to Rina because I dony want to seem rude to the sea of 'crew'
359Please respect copyright.PENANAfdPhXX8wyF
I am okay with two people but they have to exaggerate and make my crew consist of ten people, like what the fuck, what is their individual job "they work for the A1" I nod
359Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zzd3zxP04
"You'll start earlier than that, not just today, today you will visit the agency to have some portrait pictures taken of you and some with the boys, so you'll need to get ready" I am still flabbergasted
359Please respect copyright.PENANAtHXikEO3ic
"But why are we starting early" she placed her hands on her waist and looked pointedly at me "you have fans who are rooting for you, and we gave out a time frame we should start for the fans to vote and 38% voted we start the earliest"
359Please respect copyright.PENANAAewKIork2a
I have fans?
359Please respect copyright.PENANAeHWDe1fWOW
"That makes no sense, so you guys just didn't inform me about it, I am not prepared" I kept on following her towards one of the rooms "I need to get some of the boys stuff" I stopped at the door, they aren't here but I respect their privacy
359Please respect copyright.PENANAt6d9dnu0jT
I was all panicked because Alex is coming over this morning and how would he feel if he just meet crowds of people in the living room
359Please respect copyright.PENANAYYMv8f2Z2R
Mr Bang is going to be so pissed off at him for sneaking here, I am panicking and I didn't know when I started pacing around
359Please respect copyright.PENANAWtScSEHlrP
Rina emerged from the room still looking at me weird, I looked at her deciding to confide in her, it wasn't anything but we just enjoyed each others company and we got along pretty well so we've being hanging out everyday since last week
359Please respect copyright.PENANAmzth3DpRDR
"You know I'm part of this thing and they should always inform me of any progress right" she chuckled "you don't know what you've gotten yourself into"
359Please respect copyright.PENANAvnmWIootJW
I followed her but stopped in front of the door once again "you can come in, this is Alex room" I was curious to see all of their room, but I didn't want to be a rude person who enters others room without their permission
359Please respect copyright.PENANAslZJ6tSrGI
Even if Alex and I are technically friends now
"Alex has been coming everyday since last week" I rushed out "and he is coming today, and Mr Bang is outside and he is quite afraid of him" maybe I gave too much information
359Please respect copyright.PENANAfulUq6aYQi
She just laughed and came back outside the door pulled me into the room and pinched my cheek "Alex already got caught" she made air quote and my hearth dropped as if I was watching a horror movie.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAqUiexmJQk8
I mean that man was just one of those people you fear because of their demeanor "what happened?" I rushed along with her as she was going around the room getting one thing or the other
359Please respect copyright.PENANAuedexqDsKz
I didn't even get a chance to check out his room
359Please respect copyright.PENANA4ySsZvpMJL
"He was recorded walking around the park near here" I knew they had no privacy but dang "don't worry, he's used to getting scold" that's not alright
359Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZXTpIczly
"That is one of the reason why you are starting earlier, you don't want the media to think something absolutely different do you?" I quickly shook my head no, I hope I wasn't recorded with him, I hope it was after I left
359Please respect copyright.PENANA9ShuQg3Wxj
I went back into the room I was staying, I quickly took a shower, put on a cloth and went downstairs making sure to avoid Mr Bang's gaze "here?" I asked the teenage looking girl by the chair, they all look like teenagers and by the time you ask for their ages you see they are so much older than you
359Please respect copyright.PENANAnuZAtRcbMZ
she looked excited and only nodded her head vigorously, I sat down and I watch the first person begin working on my hair
359Please respect copyright.PENANAcppbE0xZRz
Mr Bang is still looking at me as if I am a disappointment to him, I can see him through the mirror, I don't know if he is giving me this look because he doesn't think he can scold me or he is just bitter towards me
359Please respect copyright.PENANAaIxuMXdRLQ
I was still having a mini stare off competition with mr bang when I noticed my hair
359Please respect copyright.PENANAsTU5pklfhA
All my curls were down to nothing, they flat ironed the shit out of it, what the hell
359Please respect copyright.PENANACm3YjtNrXU
Is my hair ever going to be curly again because there is no difference between my hair and theirs at this point
359Please respect copyright.PENANAauu3lWzHGd
I wanted to complain, I wanted to ask but my mouth was sealed shut and I was just looking at the mirror watching as they did my eye makeup and wondering how I got here
359Please respect copyright.PENANAJQGZLg5QpK
What I thought would take only an hour ended up being three hours, my butt was itchy and I don't think it is functioning anymore, but I still tried to look as comfortable as I could, standing up majestically
359Please respect copyright.PENANAzhKLR2AUQ8
this is the first day and it is beginning to feel like hell and I swear I'm not exaggerating, I thought it was a show and they could just see me for who I am
359Please respect copyright.PENANASxovtDrGFW
"You are going to be officially meeting everyone today" mr Bang trailed behind me making emphasis on the officially
359Please respect copyright.PENANABtumXYY4Sn
He got a call and he excused himself, I went back up to the room to meet Rina who was still rumaging through everything
359Please respect copyright.PENANA1JErXqBmYI
she is busy talking to somebody over the phone and she looks furious
359Please respect copyright.PENANAtSk1c6bOUf
"왜 필요한가요? {Why do you need it}" she put the phone on speaker then placed it on the night stand "구찌이기 때문에 {because it is Gucci}" she scoffed looking under the bed and she brought out another shoe entirely she just stands up immediately and disconnected the call
359Please respect copyright.PENANAOwXLktLGDb
From what I can put together, I think they are looking for a Gucci sneakers and Rina has found one but she can't find the other
359Please respect copyright.PENANAeGj2lf1FDp
"You're done" she smiled at me as soon as she dropped the call "you look so pretty" she excitedly came to my side and spun me around
359Please respect copyright.PENANAFyLErjtPgo
She was just super annoyed a few minutes ago
359Please respect copyright.PENANALxI0youIyG
"What are you looking for?" She is back to being angry "I don't know why he can't do without that stupid Gucci shoe, and if he loves it so much, he should take good care of it, but that pig does not know where he left it" I chuckled when he called him pig
359Please respect copyright.PENANAfHfNy4wSkI
All fans knew about the Gucci shoes and we know our maknae couldn't do without it, he calls the shoe his lucky shoe, I heard his brother bought it for him from his first pay on a job
359Please respect copyright.PENANARanHiqrlE0
From the way she talks about the boys she complains about moon the most because according to her, he is always looking for something, he never stops looking for something
359Please respect copyright.PENANA2SQ05jCGQ0
"And I should blame you" she walked past me towards another part of the room, I didn't know what I did but I was listening intently "if you and Alex weren't seen together at the park, we won't have to start this early" she didn't tell me i was also captured in the video?
359Please respect copyright.PENANANC1DjIuYex
My eyes widened "the media thinks something is going on but you guys did well, at least you wore a cap and a mask, imagine of you didn't they couldn't have lied it was me with Alex" a lot have gone down and I didn't even know about it
359Please respect copyright.PENANAxB2Ybt6aql
Why haven't I seen it online?, well maybe because I have been enjoying Alex company so much I hardly go online
359Please respect copyright.PENANAuEfuBQJeZC
"When you see everybody today, they are going to tease the hell out of you"
359Please respect copyright.PENANA62GZ8WO4Z3
Alex shouldnt have agreed with me when I told him to follow ne to the park, I hope I haven't created one stupid scandal because I wanted to get ice cream
359Please respect copyright.PENANAQEESZBDktQ
And how did anybody ever recognize him when he looks absolutely unrecognizable, fans are crazy

There were girls outside the agency holding signs and squealing, my voice box can't survive a day here, the person that arrived in the car before mine came out and it was an actress, I almost jumped out of the car I was in
359Please respect copyright.PENANAJEHGsj3nlJ
I realized if I did that I could be stoned to death, Rina made sure to tell me I wasn't really accepted among the korean fans, that girls doesn't filter out the scariest part of every matter
359Please respect copyright.PENANAGFNf0j1jVZ
I am excited and giddy, I can't wait to meet them
359Please respect copyright.PENANAI6qB7UUmcy
I keep playing with my short, something I do whenever I am nervous
359Please respect copyright.PENANAkaNLbMuEf2
When we finally reach the parking lot, Rina helped me out of the jeep and when I tell you the sun is hot, the sun is freaking hot, thank God I decided to wear shorts
359Please respect copyright.PENANAjxuMI0XrNt
She held my hand and led me towards a back door
359Please respect copyright.PENANA2VixXFKpRb
We are the only one going inside through the back door, the others in the car with us would enter normally
359Please respect copyright.PENANAQFFmJSvPen
She led me through different set of doors and all the while I followed skeptically not able to shake off that feelings of being carried to my ultimate demise
359Please respect copyright.PENANA2YZHP0yC0E
I'm dramatic bite me
359Please respect copyright.PENANAgUHgo6Tu8j
Rina unni faced me and helped me adjust my hair and makeup "the camera crew are in the next room" just like that, I guess we're really starting today
359Please respect copyright.PENANAerex9zUnvY
Rina being Rina made sure to open the door as dramatic as she could, it is a double door so she stand in the middle and opened both door at once
359Please respect copyright.PENANA1uLxf23yKa
The room was bright and at the other side was standing all my dream boys, what the hell they were real?
359Please respect copyright.PENANAHA7A0kctva
Yes silly you saw Alex more than once of course they are real
359Please respect copyright.PENANA08zyAwXk0U
"Come inside and don't stand there" Rina nudged me and pulled me slightly, I am frozen again, my limbs are not moving
359Please respect copyright.PENANAPDj3biTM7Y
As soon as I got through the set of double doors, their agency is freaking fancy, all of them bowed and they did the usual greetings, they introduced themselves one after the other
359Please respect copyright.PENANAfT7i5lPLFv
"안녕하세요 저는 달입니다 {Hi I'm the moon}” the maknea introduced and I smiled "안녕하세요 현준입니다 {hi, I'm hyun joon}" the visual of the group introduced next, not that they were not all visuals "안녕하세요 루원입니다 {hi, I'm roo won}" I smiled at him too mesmerized by his cute dimples "안녕하세요 태무입니다 {hi, I'm tae mu}" he was the oldest in the group, I was not going to squeal just because I'm meeting my idols, I mean its not a big deal
359Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ1or8IHpp
I won't freaking squeal, I am a very controlled human being and I can do without my squeal and vicious comebacks
359Please respect copyright.PENANAyHwk8Q61y3
After giving my self some pep talk I continued listening to their introduction, they didn't need the introduction but damn I could listen to them talk all day "안녕하세요 알렉스입니다{hi, I'm Alex}" I beamed immediately and I swear I heard snickers, it wasn't loud but someone snickered "안녕하세요 재준입니다 {hi, I'm jae joon}" he is the second oldest and the cutest person in the group, new fans always think he is the maknea until they get deeper into the fandom
359Please respect copyright.PENANAdDaT6fHf2g
He just has the face of a baby "안녕하세요 민우입니다 {hi, I'm min woo" the other handsome tall glass of water, he is the tallest and youngest person in the group "안녕하세요 새원입니다 {hi, I'm sae won}" the goofiest person in the group and the leader
359Please respect copyright.PENANAfcHlDWS2kF
They all bowed again and it is my turn to introduce my self and my voice box decided to quit working, I swear what I want to say is at the tip of my tongue
359Please respect copyright.PENANAL3WcZ75jpB
I looked up and I made eye contact with jae joon and he made a face to ask me if I was okay
359Please respect copyright.PENANAbM8QRxrPEX
Don't mind me I'm just having a mini panic attack here LOL
359Please respect copyright.PENANAfFFGTfHvO6
I was still morphing my facial expression before I could finally talk
359Please respect copyright.PENANAR9Ivunz54T
What gave me the confidence to talk you ask
359Please respect copyright.PENANAAigoFSEmnt
Maybe because I was being recorded the whole time
359Please respect copyright.PENANAtv0VSWUTnl
"Hi everyone I'm crystal" do you know what the funny thing was, it was my normal voice, not high pitched at all
359Please respect copyright.PENANAmwqFsnoesI
Rina led me to sit farthest away from Alex when I was about to sit beside him, don't blame me he is the only one I've ever talked to among them and i'm super comfortable with him
359Please respect copyright.PENANA4w4A8ONFTR
I am now sitting beside moon
359Please respect copyright.PENANAIUc4XvDEus
We were here to take pictures and they didn't waste time to jump right into it
359Please respect copyright.PENANAwajUyIFana
"You are staying in my room" I heard someone say quietly, I know it is moon he is sitting closest to me and I was staying in his room, I smiled at him "I like your room can you give it to me" I whispered back and he beamed "it is all yours" the room is full of voices from different corner, the camera crew were giving directions and I was asked to sit in the front
359Please respect copyright.PENANA8ze0ZOfBIQ
They would all be at my back and I would be sitting on the floor in the middle
359Please respect copyright.PENANAXLWXkJ82G6
"You and Alex have been seeing each other in secret" my eyes widened, I looked up to see who it was, it is sae won
359Please respect copyright.PENANAjEGdvvYI79
What the hell he jumped right into being comfortable to talk to me
359Please respect copyright.PENANAlFflZmIYBC
"Good I like your facial expressions now" the man whom I assume is Mr Kim said "it makes the concept funnier" I blinked severally trying to get back to normal after the photos had being taken
359Please respect copyright.PENANAADT1qzCCdm
Where are good comebacks when I need them "not in secret actually" we were asked to change position and all the while Alex and I would try to stay next to each other either Rina or one of the members would come in between us
359Please respect copyright.PENANADb1Q3RzrQF
And they would all make one comment or the other, it was like they couldn't wait till there was no camera on us
359Please respect copyright.PENANAg9RnZUAbBf
"you look very pretty" tae mu said and I smiled "thank you" I was about to tell him he is also handsome but Rina dragged me next to Alex
359Please respect copyright.PENANATImLgYE9oC
Finally
359Please respect copyright.PENANAmffUja1DCt
"Hi" we said together and we both beamed at each other
359Please respect copyright.PENANAjgKSQOZK6f
Rina came back to me "you're being recorded and most of this clips would be released, I know you should have some sort o f chemistry with the boys, but don't get too cozy with Alex the media are onto you" am I getting cozy with alex
