SO. YESTERDAY WAS PROBABLY IN FACT THE BEST DAY OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED, BUT IT WAS AMAZING AND I LOVE IT. IF YOU FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. IF NOT, YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO FUCKING READ THIS. SERIOUSLY. RIGHT NOW.
LOOK AT HOW DAMN ESSITED JUNHO IS. YOU KNOW YOU ARE DYING TO KNOW.
BEFORE YOU READ THIS THOUGH, KNOW THAT I WAS IN SAN FRANCISCO THIS WEEKEND. FOR THE FINAL WONDER GIRLS/2PM SHOW. I SHALL F-LOCK AN ENTRY ON THAT PROBABLY TOMORROW. BUT I PROMISED PEOPLE I'D UPDATE ABOUT THIS FIRST. ASKDFNLSDNFSLKDFJLSFJSLFJWAOIERULSKDFN :DDDD
We drove around San Francisco frantically all day Monday, trying to figure out where the guys (2PM) were sightseeing. We went to the hotel we were pretty sure they were staying at (which was only maybe 4 blocks from our hotel) and asked the concierge there if they recognized the background of Khun’s twitpic. He recommended Golden Gate Park so we headed that way and drove through the southern part. Didn’t see anyone, so we decided to actually sightsee ourselves and drove to the viewing area for the bridge. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND INSANE IN PERSON. Especially because it was foggy outside so parts of the bridge were being blocked by fog so it made it look like a movie scene or something. It was lovely.
Then we decided to give up looking, so we headed to the airport to return our rental car and start the super long wait for our flight. To help you guys understand; we returned the rental at 3PM, took the monorail thing to the terminal, waited behind the TWO other people in line for security and took a seat inside the terminal around 3:30PM. Our flight wasn’t set to leave until 6:45PM, so even though boarding was at 6pm… that’s still 2 and a half hours to wait.
So we take a seat, pull out my laptop and start looking through the photos my mom attempted to take at the concert the day before. We were getting pushed so badly that not many came out in focus, but that’s okay. So after the photos have been looked through, I open Photoshop and attempt to fix my meet & greet photo. I’m still kind of pissed that the stupid cameraperson couldn’t get it to focus but whatever. I was able to sharpen it a little. But basically from 3:30-6 we were sitting there, without Internet (you had to pay for it through t-mobile wth) and just…. waited for the flight.
Now I jokingly wanted to go check out the international terminal that day, to see if the guys were leaving then. But I decided against it once I heard they weren’t heading back to Korea for a few more days. So after not finding them in the city, I thought all hope was lost. In line for the concert the day before, Sunday, I was again jokingly saying to my friends that it would be hilarious if they were on the plane to LA with us. I then remembered San Francisco is an international airport, so I lost hope of that happening.
At around 6 we walk over to the bathroom, my mom had already used it so she waited outside as I went in. When I come out my mom is wide-eyed and whispers to me “look at the ATM, he looks really familiar”. So I look and it’s a super attractive Asian boy taking out money. He looked like Junsu, but of course I didn’t think it was really him. Just a look alike, my luck isn’t that amazing. I just keep staring at him, thinking how strangely similar he does look to Junsu.
IT CAN'T BE HIM. WHY WOULD HE BE AT THE SAN FRAN AIRPORT, IN THE SAME TERMINAL AS ME? But then I noticed the earrings. And the shoes. And the perfect skin. And my mom told me that he had come from a restaurant across the hall, so we look over and see a table of other guys wearing sunglasses/hoods who all look strangely familiar. I see Chansung first, even with his sunglasses on I can tell he is staring at me. Like creepy staring, he will not look away. (My mom had said before I came out of the bathroom, Junsu was staring at her like he recognized her) Then I see Khun and his blond hair. And Wooyoung. I did not see Junho though, and I was curious as to where the heck he was. Junsu goes back over there and they pay, then leave and head off in the same direction as our gate. At this point we are flipping out, no way is 2PM in our terminal. No way are they going to be on our flight. I see a head of orange hair sitting at a laptop, and immediately realize it is none other than Junhoooo! They had left him there by himself while they went to eat, idgi. He had headphones in and was surfing the internet or something, on his laptop.
They sit in chairs across the hall from our gate (which for some reason did not have seating itself, I don’t get wtf that was about. There was just empty space in front of our gate.) so we were kind of worried they’d be going somewhere else. My mom & I actually walked up to Junho because we felt like we had to do something, she sat next to him and started talking. He didn’t even notice/care that someone sat next to him, so she had to tap his armrest. I kind of just stood there in shock and stared at him. He had his headphones in so I don’t think he understood everything my mom was saying to him, she asked if he spoke much English and his reply was “yeah yeah I do~” but… he didn’t understand when she was asking if he was going to come back here soon. I can’t even remember what else she said to him because every once in a while he’d stare at me while she was talking to him and I’d die a little inside from his adorable. He wasn’t wearing any makeup but goddamnnnnnnn he still looked AMAZING. THEY ALL DID. AND HIS ENGRISH VOICE IS SO DEEP AND BEAUTIFUL. LSKDNFLSJFLSFJS OH MY GOD.
Ok so Junsu sat a little away from the other guys and the opposite side of his row of chairs was all empty so we sat there, waiting for our turn to board the plane. The other three guys were positioned like this, I have no idea where Chansung had gone. Khun is blocking Junho, btw. But he was there.
I had gotten an email saying that this flight was overbooked, and that they were looking for volunteers to change flights, and we came close to volunteering because they said we would be “rewarded” or something. So we wait and wait, and when there’s like 4 people left to get on, all of 2PM and the cordi ladies with them get up and start walking over there. So of course we’re freaking out, and it looked like we were following them but we also had tickets for that flight. Thank fucking GOD we did not decide to switch flights. So we get behind them in line to get on. Junsu is last, so I’m like 2 inches from his backpack. I believe Wooyoung had his wallet out but I couldn’t make out exact details of what he had in it. Someone had a passport out, but again I couldn’t make out details.
(If you can see the guys, first is Khun and then Junho in the plaid hat, Chansung in the white hat and Wooyoung in the black hat to his left. Junsu was to the left of this photo, behind Woo.)
That tunnel to get to the plane is so much fun, I almost knocked Junsu down a few times due to abrupt stops. I was like pushed up against his bag most of the time idk.
For those of you who have seen the pictures of him at Incheon, he was wearing the same shoes, hat, and the sunglasses with the hearts on the side. :D
Khun had a bag, which looked like fan presents. He had trouble with that since it was a legit too full flight, so he had to have it checked. There wasn’t enough room inside for everyone to have lots of carry-on stuff. Walking down the ramp into the plane Wooyoung like, hit the wall and tripped a little. It was hilarious. But it was a legit almost fall, he went forward and his feet stayed back but he didn't fall down. He laughed at himself, so I didn’t feel so bad for giggling at it. Then security told him he couldn’t have both his bags with him because of the limited space, so the security was telling him he’d have to check one. Obviously this is Woo, the one who knows so much Korean. So Khun had to stay back and translate for him. But I felt so bad because Woo looked so confused, he obviously could not understand what was going on. ;____;
I guess Junsu stayed back with Khun and Wooyoung, because all of a sudden he was not in front of us?
We get on the plane, I had seen one of the cordi’s tickets and she was in the way back so I was getting kind of sad thinking they’d all be super far away (we were in row 12, the cordi's was 33). We find our seats, and sit. Then something magical happens. Junsu sits in our row. My seat was an aisle seat, and his was the aisle seat on the other side of the row. So all that was separating us was a 7inch walkway. He sits, but then decides to put his bag in the overhead thing. But not on his side. He lifts it above me. So he’s basically leaning on top of me to get the bag in there. Which is totally ok with me. Aisle seats stick out further than the overhead bin, so he was leaning on top of me and his shirt was basically on my face.
He sits down, puts his headphones in, and takes off his shoes. Yeah, he did. No I didn’t smell anything so I think he’s okay.
He wears white socks~. His iPod touch case was pink and rubbery. The wallpaper was the pre-programmed globe or whatever. Nothing awesome. :( Most of the songs he was listening to lacked album art, so either he illegally downloads a lot of music or he rips it all from CDs and does not bother to find the art. But it looked like he had the lyrics shown and most had one small line of text, which is what leaked songs usually have so websites can mark~ that they were the uploader. I wasn’t able to see a lot of the songs, because of the lack of album art. But I did for definite see Brian (not sure what song but it was the Manifold cover) and a Maroon 5 song from their most recent CD. I’m preeeeetttttyy sure he had some BIG BANG songs on there too, but don’t quote me. I tried watching as he scrolled through the artists but he went so fast and changed the songs so often.
The best part though, to me, was that during one song he started doing piano fingers. With both hands. I don’t know if that’s just how he listens to music, or if he was doing it because he knew I was watching. But it was amazing. And his hands are soooooo nice oh my god, they look so soft and his nails aren't too long oh man. He also started typing some stuff, I have no idea what but I looked and saw maybe 4-5 lines of hangul typed. I tried creeping on the apps he had as he flipped through the menu but I couldn’t make any out. D:
He was like, in awe when I took out my laptop and pulled up the Internet or something. I did not do anything or say anything to him, I simply pulled out my laptop and opened it, and he could not keep his eyes off of me. I did tweet a few times and I’m preeeeetty sure he was able to read my screen. Our seats were very close. ;___; I turned it so he maybe couldn’t see my desktop (Junho) but I’m pretty sure he still saw that as well. It looked like he was going to say something to me a few times, but he never did. He’d lean over into the aisle and stare at me. He was staring BASICALLY THE WHOLE TIME. You guys know how I feel about people staring. Of course it is flattering that such a beautiful person was staring at me, but it was still pissing me off. I did not purposely make eye contact with him at all because I FUCKING HATE BEING STARED AT. D:
That is an awful picture of him, I promise he looked amazing through the time I was around him. Honestly you guys know how Junho biased I am, I had a hard time not looking at Junsu because he was so... perfect. *____* But that picture is for proof that he was staring at me.
AND ALSO IF YOU COULDN'T GUESS, I AM WEARING THE BLUE/PINK PLAID SHIRT. THE PICTURES WHERE YOU CAN SEE ME WERE TAKEN BY MY MOM NEXT TO ME.
What I thought was funny, was that he had his headphones in and was listening to music the entire time. Literally, even during take off and landing. Even after they say to turn off all electronic devices, he was listening and no one cared. I thought he was gonna get yelled at but he was fine. Quite a lot, he was leaning forward so his head was resting on the seat in front of him.
His eyes were closed usually when he was doing that, through take off and things like that. He didn’t look out the windows, either.
(I told you. He'd stay like that, lift his head up and stare at me a bit, then go back to that position)
But as soon as my laptop was out he couldn’t take his eyes off me. It was so weird. I felt like I couldn’t write what I wanted to because he would see what I wrote. I’m not sure if he was checking to see whether I was writing about him, or if he was just staring because he thought I was ~hot~. Either way he was staring and it was a strange sensation for a super hot famous celebrity to stare at you like that. Usually it is the other way around.
He was also listening to the music pretty loud, I couldn’t make out distinct songs but I could definitely hear his music across the aisle. And he kept pushing the ear buds into his ears, either to hear better or to stop the ear popping from altitude change idk.
As we pulled up to the gate, he stood up and grabbed his bag, again leaning over me. He was like on top of me, he was leaning so far over me. Srsly. So he stands there, in the aisle. Not in front of his seat, in the aisle.
For some of the time I had a nice view of his ass. It was so close if I moved my hand an inch I'd be grabbing it. Or pulling his pants down. He is a true gangsta, his pants are so low. At first he’s leaning on the seat in front of me but then he moves and leans on my seat. His hip is like on my shoulder. But that’s fine with me.
I decide I want to stand up, because I didn’t want to stare at his impossibly tiny thighs next to me. So I stand…. And I’m taller than him. He does not move over, in fact he even kind of moves closer. He’s like leaning on me a little. I turn around to see where the other guys are, and I see Khun & Chansung in the very last row on my side. Junsu like runs off the plane in front of me, but then he has to wait for the other guys hahahaha. He keeps turning around and looking at me as we’re leaving the plane. Then he kind of runs away, toward the flight schedule board. He paces back and forth waiting for the guys to get out. They’re literally the LAST ones to get off the plane.
My mom & I creep on the gate, I take my camera out and film the exit so I can get the other guys on video. SPEAKING OF THIS. My mom was being hella creeper and you guys will love her. She took pictures and video of Junsu on the plane ahahaha. But you cannot go spreading this all over the internet, obviously. I was trying my best not to make it obvious that I was a huge fan of theirs, taking pictures and staring and stuff.
Okay so we wait there, and I sort of got a video of them leaving, then checking on the flight schedule board. I guess they were getting on another flight like us. They congregate around a table in front of a restaurant. Not just any restaurant. A FUCKING ICE CREAM VENDOR. SERIOUSLY I AM NOT JOKING AT ALL. So they stay there a while, we walk to the bathroom past them. I let my mom go alone so I could watch if they left, and good thing I did because they walked by. I swear even with sunglasses on I could tell they were all staring at me. I mean, a turning of the head is pretty obvious. So I see them walk by, and right after the pass, my mom comes out and we follow. This terminal literally consisted of like 6 gates so it was tiny. Luckily they did not leave security; they had just gone to an empty gate inside this terminal to wait. Which doesn’t make any sense because I’m pretty positive they were waiting for a flight to Seoul. Which would not be in that terminal. But anyway, so they all sit down and we go walk to the other end of the terminal again as to not look super creepy. We check out the restaurants but decide to sit on a little ledge for a bit.
Wooyoung walks by and we see him go to an ATM (you can kind of see him in the picture, idk right below the McDonalds sign he's facing the right-ish wall?). He was there for maybe 5 minutes, and then Junsu walks by to join him. I’m gonna assume Woo was having troubles with the English ATM so he called in backup. But then Khun also walks by and joins them. So I guess they were having a heck of a lot of trouble. I was trying not to stare as they walked by each time, but I somehow managed to look up right as Woo was walking by again. We literally made eye contact, so he was staring at me as he passed by. He was NOT wearing sunglasses. I’m not sure what tipped them off because I’m sure they knew I was a fan. Was it the fact that we went up to Junho? My fingernails that still proudly say “2PM”? My phone with the adorable Junho cover? My computer wallpaper… of Junho? The fact that I said “saranghae~” on the plane? Well, I knew that they knew that I knew who they were.
Basically it stayed that way, we were sitting on that ledge a little longer and the guys all walked by a few times, each glancing over at me as they passed. Chansung walked around a lot, he went into a store that had bananas for sale. I was secretly hoping he’d buy one but I didn’t see him do that. I saw Khun buy a bottle of water, but that’s about it. Junsu was like sleeping in the corner, away from the other guys. Junho was again by himself, Khun was sat facing the window and away from me. (At this point we had creeped and staked out a spot at the terminal across the hall from them. There was a pole sort of blocking our view so we didn’t look super obvious. But we were searching for a plug for my laptop so it wasn’t completely creepy. It was legit. We found a plug and I paid $8 for Internet access.
So we just sat there, I was freaking out and my mom was checking on the creeper pictures she had taken on the plane. They walk around a bit, and talk to each other. I saw Junsu walk over for a little and have what looked to be a hilarious conversation with Woo & Khun. Then Chansung moves and sits next to Junho, which made me really happy because Junho was such a total loner the entire time I felt so bad. He was on his laptop like the entire time, or his iPhone. His headphones were always in, so I guess he likes being alone. I have no idea what kind of laptop he has but it was black and did not look like a Mac. He was silent and in his own little world, away from the other guys. D:
I didn’t go up to them again, I didn’t want to disrupt them a second time. Especially since Junho had looked so confused when we walked up to him before, I wanted to leave them be. So Junho was on his laptop with his headphones in the whole time. Chansung was kind of just staring into space. Junsu was off in the corner sleeping. Khun looked like he was staring out the window, but I couldn’t tell if he was surfing the Internet or anything because his back was to me. Wooyoung looked like he was also staring into space, but the pole was in my way so he may have been doing other things. I dunno. Every once in a while when I would stare at them, I’d see them staring back. It freaked me out. They knew I was a fan and they were staring at me.
I called Nikki to tell her about the plane ride, but I ended up staying on the phone with her like the entire time they were there. It was just about 3 hours that we were in the terminal together, and the plane ride was about 1.5+. I honestly think they stayed in the terminal as fanservice, because they had to go back through security to get to the international terminal to leave on their real flight. They left around 10:45 and the flights I saw to Seoul were at 11:30 and 12. They cut it close by staying. I don't know where the international flights leave from, but I've heard at LAX they're totally separate from domestic flights so they were actually STUPID to stay near me. I honestly think they did it for me, there was NOTHING in that fucking terminal and I'm sure the international area would have been more comfortable, had more food, been closer to their departure gate, etc. When they did leave, it was super sad. Chansung & Khun had continuously got up to check the flight schedule to see what gate they’d be at, and I was dreading that moment where they’d find out. So they leave, but not before staring me down first. I really don’t get why they did that so much. Ok I know you are there. I know you see me. I know you know I’m a fan. Stop staringgggggg.
So they leave, and my mom has the idea that I should go sit in their seat. So we go over there and I find Junho’s seat. The ass area is cold for some reason, but the back is suuuuuper warm. And kinda smells like sweat. There was piece of a peanut m&ms wrapper on the seat Chansung was sitting at, and a red rubber band thing where Wooyoung was. That’s all I got. But jfc. It was amazing.
For a plane trip I was almost going to change, I am extremely glad I left it the way it was. THANK YOU JAYSUS FOR LETTING ME LIVE THROUGH SUCH A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.
So the moral of the story is, ALWAYS WEAR NICE MAKEUP AND PERFUME TO THE AIRPORT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHO THE HELL YOU’RE GONNA SEE IN THE TERMINAL, OR ON YOUR FUCKING PLANE. Literally as soon as I had stopped looking for them, they appeared behind me. What the hell kind of luck is that.
I wrote that at like 1AM in the airplane on the way home, right after all this happened. I haven't slept since Sunday night/after waking up at 7AM PST on Monday I haven't gone to sleep. So I apologize for typos or repeating sentences or anything. And I apologize I didn't take more pictures, buuuuut you gotta understand my position in this.
