I was with Fifi, waiting at the hotel, in the morning.
She had met them the night before when they filmed for a local show, and guest-hosted for a radio show.
After her exciting description of TVXQ, and my own listening to their songs, and their voices on the radio, I decided they seemed to be rather nice, and it would be alright for me to go see them. So it was with this curiosity, and just a memory of their voices, and Fifi's descriptions that I went to the hotel.
She wasn't even seated facing the lobby, and I was the one whom noticed a group of cute guys with a black man coming out from the lift. I signaled to Fifi for her to get a look on them to see if they were TVXQ.
You see, I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how they looked like before I went. I just liked the songs I heard the night before. And it was great to finally be able to put a face to the voices I heard the night before.
It was them no doubt. And I was flabbergasted by what I saw. They looked so cute....absolutely out of the world....nothing I had seen so far could compare to them....We rushed to the lobby, but they had gone into the restaurant for breakfast. We sat in front of the lobby this time round, not wanting to let them slip past us again, and not be able to do anything.
The first ones who came out were U-Know and Max...
Not too sure now...
But they walked so fast we weren't even able to ask them to stop for a chat or a pic.
The next time it was Xiah who came out, I think.
Fifi wasn't very sure of their names, and she was fumbling to recall as I prayed hard for him to not go up first.
Luckily for us, he wasn't very good with the operation of the lift, and we had just enough time to recall his name, and for us to call out to him.
Sweet as he is, he actually walked out of the lift that he had been trying to operate for so long, and had succeeded to come and talk to us!
The most heart-grasping part for us was definitely when he squatted down right in front of the two of us, and starting chatting with us. After a short casual chat, we took 2 pics, and he left to go upstairs to take a bathe, cos he thinks he stinks from the workout he had in the gym earlier in the morning.
But in contrast to what he said, we both thought he smelled heavenly, with hardly a trace of the stench of sweat on him.
The next ones who came out were Jaejoong and Mickey, whom we didn't get to speak to much as the black man (who was their bodyguard) was beside them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next few days we were also waiting for them at the hotel lobby, and the manager also invited us to go to the media party and gig at a hot new pub.
And there we were standing in the front row, gazing up at them on stage as they were performing. Then I realized that Jaejoong was staring across at us and smiling rather sweetly. I smiled back, acknowledging his smile. And I nudged Fifi and told her about Jaejoong staring across at us, and she tore her gaze away from Max and Xiah, and took a look at Jaejoong, and confirmed what I said I saw.
After the gig, they went upstairs for the media conference, and we went outside to wait for them to leave after the press conference. Then when they came out, there were already a bunch of gals outside waiting for them also, but their record company people just hurriedly escorted them to their van.
In the chaos, we were kinda pushed forward together with Xiah, and he was so confused as to where he was supposed to go to. In the end, Fifi and me had to escort him to the van. But just as he was hopping onto the van, one of the record company personnel actually came up from behind us and rudely tried to push us aside, and at the same time shoved him into the van, and next thing we know we were trying to get out from the van, as the rest of the guys were also being shoved onto the van at the same time!
After the drama, we decided that we would call it a night and go eat along the riverside. But just as we were walking down the riverside, we saw TVXQ sitting outside a restaurant! We were so shocked, and we didn't know whether we should go to them or not to.
But we suddenly realized that they had seen us, so we had to go over.
At least after they're finished though.
