"So the plan is to get them to meet in the concert." I said
Right now, Twice excluding Sana, Itzy and I were planning on how Sana and Joseph were going to meet each other.
Itzy had to translate to Korean since Twice weren't that good at English.
"Um, (Y/n) can you speak Japanese?" Lia asks
"Yeah, why?"
"Because all of them can speak Japanese too."
"Oh right."

Italics=Japanese
"So the plan is to try and either get Joseph on the stage or backstage." I said
"What about their language barrier?" Yeji asked
"Joseph asked me to teach him some Japanese, I taught him some stuff but he's learning more on his own."
"And Sana's trying to learn English too." Momo pointed out

At that moment Sana came into the room and looked at me and said
"Hello, I'm Sana, to meet you it's nice." She said shakily, practicing English
"Hi Sana, I'm (Y/n). You were close, it's 'It's nice to meet you' but keep trying."
"You know Japanese?" She asks
"Yeah, I taught myself while watching anime."
"Cool!" She said

A couple hours later, I went to Joseph and Ms. Wang's apartment. I knocked on the door and Ms. Wang opened it.
"Oh (Y/n) come in, would you like anything to drink?" She asks
"Do you have hot chocolate?"
"Yes."
"Can I have that please."
"Of course, Joseph's on the balcony."
"Ok thanks."
I went out to the balcony and Joseph was practicing keepy-ups, I then said
"Hi."
It surprised him and out of shock he kicked the ball the wrong way and it went over the edge.
"Oh no, sorry." I said
"Don't worry, I'll get it later, so what did you want to talk about?" Joseph asked
"Are you familiar with the group, Twice?"
"Did you see the MLS final?"
"Yeah, you did What Is Love as your celebration right?"
"Yep, So what about Twice?"
"Oh right, so I don't know if you've heard, but JYP are putting on a concert in Hyde park tomorrow, and I have front row tickets, wanna come?"
"Hell yeah!" Joseph said
"Great, meet me at the Hyde Park Corner underground station at 9am tomorrow."

"So is it just Twice?" He asked
"No, there are almost all of the JYP groups."
"Wow, imagine how cool it would be to meet a Kpop idol."
"I don't need to." I said
"Wait, are you telling me that you've met one before?" He asked in shock
"Not just one, and I casually hang out with them."
"Who is it?" Joseph questioned
"Itzy."
"You're so lucky, you've met a Kpop group, I wish I could meet one soon." He said
"Oh don't worry, you will." I whispered and smirked
"What was that?" He asked
"I said, you're not gonna believe how the concert will feel."
"The hot chocolate is ready (Y/n)!" Ms. Wang called
"Coming!"
We went inside and on the table were a couple of cups, Joseph had coffee while I had my hot chocolate

"Woah!" I said
"What?" Ms. Wang asked
"This looks amazing."
"Oh, thank you."
"Hey (Y/n), shouldn't you go easy on the unhealthy drinks, I'll be fitter than you and take your first team spot." Joseph joked
"Shhhh, today's my cheat day. And besides hot chocolate is way better than coffee."
"Lies!"
"Whatever." I laughed

I got home at around 8:50 pm, when I got through the door I put Kookie on his lead and went back outside. When I shut the front door, I turned around and standing there was Ryujin.
"Oh, Ryujin, What are you doing here?" I asked
"I wanted to tell you something."
"Tell me what?"
"Don't worry for now, Can we walk?" She asks
"Oh yeah sure."
We walk over to the field where we went before, we sat down on the same bench under the same tree and looked up at the stars
"So what did you want to talk about?" I ask
"Umm, well I...."
She sighs and shakes her head
"It's ok if you don't want to tell me, I can wait."
"But I want to tell you. I just..."
"Don't know how to say it?" I finish the sentence
"Exactly."
"Well don't worry about it, take your time and tell me once you figure out how to say what you want to say."

No PoV
"I.......like........you." Ryujin whispered

(Y/n) PoV
"What did you say?" I asked
"Oh nothing, I should be getting back now, I need to get a lot of sleep before the concert." Ryujin then ran off
"At least let me walk you to the station." I said to myself and sighed
Kookie then started barking
"I know, we should get back home too." I said to him

"Time for the concert, hurry up Joseph we'll be late!" I said, waiting for Joseph to leave his room.
Joseph frantically searched through his moving boxes and finally found what he was looking for
"Ah ha, found it!"
"Found what?" I asked
He then showed me a Candy Bong Z, and looked proud that he had it
"Oh, So that's what you were looking for."
"Well yeah, I have to show support." Joseph said
We went to leave and Ms. Wang stopped us
"Joseph, just so you know you're supposed to wash the dishes today."
"I know, relax." Joseph replied
Ms. Wang then pinched Joseph's ear causing Joseph to shout in pain
"Don't tell me to relax, the last time you forgot I was kind enough to do it for you!" Ms. Wang said
"Ok ok! I'll do it when we get back!" Joseph said, surrendering
"Good, now have fun."

Hyde park
"Woah! You're telling me that this is only one tiny bit of this park!?" Joseph said
"This is exactly why I decided to come and pick you up from the apartment instead, you would've gotten lost." I laughed
"So how big is Hyde park anyways?" He asked
"I'm pretty sure it's 350 acres."
"Pshhh, that's nothing compared to Central Park in New York." He said smugly
"Whatever, now lets go to our area."

We were standing in our allocated space in front of the stage and Joseph's eyes lit up
"Woah! We're so close to the stage! I can almost reach it!" Joseph says, reaching towards the stage
"Hey! Stop or we'll throw you out!" The security guard said
"Sorry, he's not from around here." I said embarrassed.
"So when is it starting?" He asked me
"Ten minutes from now, actually I'm gonna go somewhere, I'll be back soon." I say
"Oh alright."

I went backstage and a guard stopped me
"Sorry sir, you can't go this way."
"It's ok, he's with us." Jihyo said, with a shy looking Ryujin next to her
"Oh, I see. Sorry sir." The guard said
"Don't worry, you're just doing your job." I say
"That was good English Jihyo." I say in Japanese
"Thanks, I've been practicing with Sana, she's actually getting quite good." Jihyo replies

We headed into the waiting room and Sana was reading a Korean to English book, the rest of Twice and Itzy look at me and I nod.
"So (Y/n), what's the plan?" Momo asks
"After your performance, We'll get Joseph backstage somehow."
"I see, so what if Sana sees him while we're performing?" Nayeon says
"Then we'll wing it."
"Hopefully it goes to plan." Chaeyoung says
"Hopefully, anyway good luck on the concert!"
