Only Girl (Idol Series #1)

I put my shades on as my feet touched the floor of the Incheon airport. I'm waiting for my friend to pick me up here in airport since I don't know where to go. I came from the Philippines. I'm just standing here in the main entrance of the airport so that Unnie will see me easily. I'm tapping my foot on the floor while waiting and I keep on glancing on my wrist watch. I checked my luggage beside me if it's still there- well, it is.

"Angel Joy!" I look somewhere upon hearing the familiar voice

"Unnie!" I waved my hand as I saw her walking towards me

"Hows the flight?" She said as she approached me

"I'm okay Unnie. It's not that long" I said which is true. It took me only 4 hours in the plane and its already 5 pm here

"I missed you. You know its been 2 years since we got here and we cant go back to the Philippines because we're still working on our citizenship here" Alyssa unnie said. I nodded in agreement. Her dad's working here since she's a kid and last 2 years, they decided to live here with her dad. We got close like 5 years ago since she's my cousin's best friend that's why we got close.

We took a cab that will bring us to their apartment as we tell stories to each other. Its not that actually easy to go here. I'm actually here to pursue my dream to become an idol. I got invited by Pledis entertainment to audition. I'm actually late since I got the invitation last 2019 and it's february 2020 already. But since I don't have a passport and everything, it took a lot of time to complete my papers and documents and after months, by the help of Pledis, I'm now here.

We got out of the cab and went inside the building where her apartment is.

Before I went here, I actually asked for her help to find me an apartment and a job, as well as my school stuff. Although she insist that I can stay with her family, I resist, I don't want to be nuisance. I share things with her and so she is to me. I almost tell all of my secrets to her and we really bond together although she's 3 years older than me.

"Mom! We're here!" She said as we went inside their apartment. Her family knows me so they went to me and hugged me. I smiled at them.

"Did you eat already?" Her mom asked. "Yes tita" I answered with a smile

"I told Alyssa to tell you to stay with us. Why don't you want?" Tita asked with a pout

"Its okay Tita, no need to worry, i can handle my self. I don't want to be a burden here" I said and smiled again.

"What burden? Of course you're not! You're always welcome here. Anyways, Alyssa will take you to your apartment. Go now so you can take a rest" I nodded at her with a smile and went to get my luggage.

Unnie guide me to the elevator and she pressed number 10. This building is so high and it probably reach around 30-40 floors

"Our apartment was in the 6 floor. Room 62 so if you need anything, just go down or text me okay? I already set everything you need. Next week, you'll attend school. I enrolled you in SOPA. We're not the same school though. Tomorrow, we'll go for our part time jobs. You're coming with me, I already told my manager about you and he's fine with it. We'll go around 9 am so we can arrange your schedule in the cafe" she said as we walk towards my apartment. She sounded like a manager, I laughed in my thoughts.

I just nodded to her as my agree. She arranged all of this so I can't protest!

"Thanks unnie, i'll pay you once i got money. I now its worth a lot. I'm sorry but I'm thankful" I said

"No worries, pay me if you have enough money. Here's the key and you're passcode is 030805. Its your birthday so that you wont forget" she handed me the keys and it has the sign of room 71. I looked above the door and the numbers were written too

Unnie helped me with my things and she told me the rules in this building and other stuff and she went out.

I checked the ref and saw that its full. I check other things too and unnie really did bought everything I need. I got my phone and messaged Pledis that I'm already here

I placed my phone down and check the doors inside. Their are 4 doors. The one is the bedroom, themed with pink, white and violet. Unnie really know me, they are my favorite colors. Inside the bedroom, there's a bathroom.

I check the door beside the bedroom and it was a walk in closet. Their are cabinets and hangers and also drawers that are empty since my clothes are still in the luggage. I saw 3 trench coats, ordinary coats and thick jackets with turtle neck long sleeves, hanging in the cabinet

They probably got me this since there are times that it's cold. Nights here are cold so I can use this if I'm going home and it's already late. I smiled and put all of my clothes in there.

I check the other one and its a bathroom again, the last room was empty and its spacious more than the 3 others. I have nothing to put there so I just closed it again

I sat on the living room and turned on the tv. I got my phone and message unnie for the clothes and thanked her. I continued watching while resting, After an hour I continued arranging my things out of the luggage. I got 3 luggage and a back pack so I have a lot of things to arrange.

Maybe i'll just pay unnie when I have money.

The next day, I woke up around 6 am to prepare my self. Knowing my self, it takes me so much time in the bathroom just to take a bath. I don't want to be late that's why i woke up early. Its better to be early than to be late.

Around 8 am when i hear my door bell rang, maybe its unnie. I heard her punching the passwords to enter.

"Hey let's go" she said as she saw me putting lip tint "I'm ready" i said and stood up. We went to the door and put our shoes on

I'm wearing a black high waist fitted pants and a white off shoulder blouse and partnered it with a black sling bag where my important stuff are. I also wore a white shoes to complete my style.

Unnie taught me how to ride a bus such as what to do, what bus should i take and stuff. Its very different from how we ride a bus in the Philippines.

We arrived at a cafe called Cafairy. As we enter, there are a lot of people standing in line just to order.

"Alyssa! You're here. Come on and help! There's a lot of costumers" said the man in a black polo and slacks with his apron on.

"Sir, this is Angel. The one I'm talking about?" She said as if she's helping him to remember me

"Ah yes. Its nice to meet you Angel, I'm the manager here. You can start now then after this, we'll talk about your schedule" he said and left.

We entered the counter and wore an apron and a hairnet for protection. I started taking orders since i don't know how they do their drinks here

The work became fast as we help with the other workers

"You're new here?" A guy asked as the costumers are gone

"Yes" i said, still startled. He looks young and I think we're just the same age. I understand korean and i can speak the basics but i'm shock as he asked me in english.

"I'm Jooha. Kim Jooha. My father owns this cafe and the manager you met earlier was my older brother, Jiho" he said and offered his hand. I nodded and shook his hand

"Angel" I said my name

"How old are you? I can tell we're just the same age" i asked

"I'm 18" he said "I study in SOPA and I'm planning to audition in Big hit entertainment as soon as they are open for auditions" he said. My thoughts were right. We're just the same age

"Really? Unnie enrolled me in SOPA too but i'll start next week. As for me, Pledis already invited me" I told him and he look shock and amaze

"Wow! That's unique! You know not everyone got invited and stuff. You're lucky! And I can tell you're not a korean?" I nodded in agreement

"I came from the Philippines" our conversation got interrupted as people keep on coming in to order

Around 6 pm when the manager slash Jooha's brother called me and Jooha. It turned out that me and Jooha are the only part timer so we need to split our schedules so that our studies wont affect

"I'll work around 8am to 1pm this week since i'll enter school next week. Since Jooha have school he can start maybe around 4? After his school since I observe that people don't go much here around 1-3 pm" I suggested. Jooha's brother, Jiho nodded.

"Call. How about next week?" Jooha asked

"I'll take my shift around 8pm. Your shift stays the same. I'll stay until the closing time" I said and they both agreed.

10 pm is our close time so its not that hard besides, my school starts at 9 am

I wish that my stay here will be great.
