Without You (A Young K FanFiction)

Chapter 4 - The Meet-Up

I could not explain my happiness with Young Hyun's comment on my post. It was so unexpected! I never thought he would still remember me. After all, I was only a fan who happened to work with them during their concert one time.

I sent him a direct message as a reply instead of responding in the comment section.

OK!rizzaaaa: Yo! I just arrived this morning. How will you tour me? You might be busy.

I went back inside the house and started unpacking. I was not expecting any reply from him, but he did!

YoungtotheK: We have plenty of time before our US tour. When are you free?

Was that for real?!

My heart stopped for a bit, I thought. I could not breathe! I tried to pinch my arm and it hurt. So it was not a dream, after all!

OK!rizzaaa: I'm actually planning to eat lunch, but I don't know where to go. Are you free today?

He did not respond immediately, so my heart sank a bit. Five minutes...ten...still, no reply. I already lost hope.

I set my phone aside and then continued unpacking. After transferring almost half of my bag's contents to the closet, I changed my shirt. I sat down on the bed, sighing. I was deciding whether I would go out or not when I just spaced out again. Probably because I was tired of the flight or I could not still believe that I was in South Korea, the dreamland of every KPop, KDrama and KCulture fans.

I was only pulled out from too much thinking when my phone suddenly vibrated. I picked it up and saw a new notification in my Instagram. My heartbeat went irregular again.

Finally, a reply from Young Hyun. Oh, my gosh.

YoungtotheK: Yes! We know a good restaurant here in Seoul. Give me your number, so I can call you.

Wait, what? I could not help, but smile ear-to-ear as I typed my new mobile number. He did not reply, but a call came instead. I tried to re-organize my wits before answering the call.

"Hey," I answered.

"Yo, PD-nim!" It was Young Hyun.

I laughed. He was so cute!

"So, where to? I'm ready to go." I told him.

He gave me the name of the place, as well as the address. He was also so kind as to help me with the directions and what public vehicle I should take. We were on the phone the whole time until I reached my destination!

Thanks to him I was able to get to the restaurant safe.

"I see you," I told Young Hyun on the phone upon arriving. He was looking outside the clear glass wall of the restaurant. He was with the rest of his bandmates.

I waved at him when he finally saw me, too. I ended the call upon entering the place and waved at the five of them with both hands. They stood up and welcomed me warmly.

"Hey, guys!" I greeted.

"PD-nim!" Jae blurted. We did a high-five as if we were the best of friends.

"Annyeong hasaeyo," Sungjin, Wonpil and Dowoon greeted while bowing. They were more formal than the two.

Young Hyun offered me the seat next to him and we all sat down. I noticed they already ordered because the table was already overflowing with foods.

"How was your flight?" My seatmate asked.

"It's good, but I haven't rested yet since I arrived. I had to go directly to CJ E&M for a brief meeting before I was brought to my apartment." I explained.

"CJ E&M?" asked Jae.

I felt my ears turned warm. "I have a one-year contract with them. I'll be staying here for a year."

"Jinjja?" Young Hyun asked, surprised. "That's great!"

"So we got a director friend, right here," Jae added. So I became their friend?

We began to eat, with Jae and Young Hyun putting foods on my plate. They asked me to taste every food they ordered. Good thing, I was not picky.

Just like the dinner we had in Manila, the lunch in Seoul was fun. We talked mostly about life there and how Jae and Young Hyun were able to live far from their families. Sungjin also shared his experience of being hailed from Busan.

"PD-nim," Jae called which I decided to correct from then on.

"Wait, can you please not call me PD-nim anymore? I'm no longer your director."

"Then, Krizza-ssi?"

"Krija noona?"

I stared at Dowoon as he struggled with my name. Wonpil was no better while Sungjin said it as 'Krissa'. The other two helped them pronounced my name right and I could not help, but smile.

Then Dowoon screamed, "Jjang! Jjang noona."

And that was how I got a new nickname.
