Korean Story Set

a big fan

“Yeoboseyo says. Hello.”

“Lisa again busy, yes?”

“Custom, again ironing every week morning.”

“Jam ten to my house, yes. I have a new Korean movie.”

“Film what? What's the title?”

Tut. tut's….



Lisa is disappointed. Dian had already hung up the phone before answering what she asked. Dian's habit, if you call never explain it completely. The two of them are classmates who are both Korean fans. K-wave or Korean culture wave is sweeping the world, including in Indonesia. K-drama and K-pop invaded Indonesia and were loved by young and old people. Western and Japanese culture that came first now has a new rival.

Lisa is curious about what the latest Korean drama Dian has on her laptop. Lisa doesn't have a laptop, so she has to go to Dian's house if she wants to watch a K-drama that she can't watch on television. Lisa grabs the smartphone, intending to text it back but soon remembers that the pulse is also dying.

The clock on Lisa's smartphone shows at 09:05. Lisa hastily finished her little remaining iron. His mind was filled with the promise of watching a Korean movie together at ten o'clock which soon came the time.

“Assalamualaikum!” Lisa screams at Dian's doorstep.

“Eoseo oseyo! Welcome!” answer the two high school girls in the living room compactly. Dian is not alone. There's Rini with him. The three of them were the Korean lover trio in class.

“Quick, Lis. You're five minutes late. Dian does not want to leak the film if you have not come even though I have persuaded,” said Rini impatiently.

The three comrades rushed to Dian's room with half a run. Arriving at the room, Dian immediately turned on the laptop. Lisa and Rini immediately sat on her left and right side curiously.

The movie is called Healer. The main character named Healer was played by Ji Chang Wook. The action of Healer who works as a dark lackey really amazes the audience.

Lisa, Dian, and Rini barely blinked staring at the laptop monitor. Do not let one detail of the scene be missed.

The agenda of the third week of Korean Lover teen girls is now to watch Healer together at Dian's house starting at ten in the morning. K-drama Healer has twenty episodes in total, so it can't be completed in a day. In a day they can watch up to three episodes.

“Know no. I resisted my urge to watch Healer alone so I could watch the rames with you. It torments me know,” Dian said.

“Iya.. yes...,” replied Rini. “Important, now let's watch,” urges Rini.

Episode nine is played. Lisa, Dian, and Rini are in front of the laptop. Occasionally laughing, occasionally moved, occasionally pounding following the course of the story.

“Ji Chang Wook Oppa is cool. Handsome, handsome, and his acting is really cool. When can I meet the perfect Oppa,” said Dian after watching.

“Terus Yogi how? I think you love Ji Chang Wook more than your own girlfriend,” Rini interjected.

“If Ji Chang Wook shoots me, I immediately break up Yogi right then,” Dian replied quickly.

Lisa and Rini were laughing.

“Already.... already.. his laugh. Come get ready to the mall, later in the afternoon,” Dian shove the shoulders of Lisa and Rini.

“Yah, Lis. I told you yesterday, we're going to the mall to watch. Time Korean lover does not know fashion,” said Dian realized the appearance of Lisa. Dian looked at Lisa who was wearing a batik shirt and a veil covered her head. It shows absolutely no signs that he is a Korean fan.

“It is precisely this facet of Indonesia,” Lisa defending herself.

“Ji Chang Wook Oppa where might be interested in the ancient style so. Modern ones. Gaul...” Dian pressed his last sentence.

Lisa was lazy to argue with her friend who was flippant.

“Lisa...,” Dian screeches on the other side sound very excited. “Let's go to my house, yeah. I have something to say about Ji Chang Wook Oppa. Urgent!”

“Ji Chang Wook?” muttered Lisa was curious to hear the name of the Korean actor who played Healer whom she admired called.

“We will invite Oppa to Indonesia?” answer Dian.

“What?” Lisa exclaimed in shock. Trying to make sure he doesn't hear wrong.

“We will invite Ji Chang Wook to Indonesia!” Dian repeated his sentence.

“Do not joke. Is there a new Korean movie?”

“Oath. Trust me. Come to my house at ten, okay? Quickly finish your dispute. I'm waiting with Rini. Annyeong!” Dian disconnected the phone.

Dian also continued ironing after grumbling the habit of Dian who never finished when calling. At Dian's house there is wi-fi, so Dian can go online as she pleases. Unlike Lisa who sometimes have internet packages sometimes do not. Lisa secretly hopes Dian is not joking about inviting Ji Chang Wook to Indonesia even though it sounds impossible. Lisa is actually the same as Dian who is crazy about Ji Chang Wook. The difference, Lisa did not express as blatantly as Dian did. Lisa has a principle of not spending her school days dating. It is better to be used to study in earnest. Who knew he could fly to Korea thanks to his achievements.

As usual, Lisa was the one who arrived the most late. Dian and Rini are already busy waiting in the living room while playing laptop. The news that he said was urgent turned out to be from a blog containing a petition from fans to invite Ji Chang Wook to Indonesia. Ji Chang Wook fans in Indonesia are envious to see Ji Chang Wook meet fans to China, Japan, Thailand, even to Singapore, which neighbors Indonesia, but have not yet taken the time to stop in Indonesia.

“Come, we are participating in this project. We just put our photos on Instagram while carrying a big star with a call to come to Indonesia. Continue to tag this organizer account and tag also his official account Ji Chang Wook.,” Dian pointed to the writing on the web page, explaining to the newly arrived Lisa.

“Hopefully Ji Chang Wook is moved and interested in coming to Indonesia,” muttered Rini.

“Bikin creative photos maybe yes! Anyway we should be able to make Oppa's heart captivated,” Lisa pointed her index finger to Lisa and Rini's face.

Arriving at home, Lisa immediately made a big star from bufallo paper as ordered in the blog earlier. In the middle of the star he tulisi big-big “Ji Chang Wook, please visit Indonesia” with marker. At the five corners of the star he wrote his name and the name of the top Korean star. After that he took a picture with the big star. After getting the best picture from the shots dozens of times, he posted the picture to Instagram. Of course, do not forget he tagged Ji Chang Wook's official account to see Ji Chang Wook. If hundreds or even thousands of Ji Chang Wook fans in Indonesia do the same thing, maybe the idol will come to Indonesia. Lisa smiled at herself imagining it.

During the school holidays, Lisa and her three Korean lover friends go on holiday to Bali. When they were walking around enjoying the exotic nature of Bali, suddenly a motorbike stopped near them.

“Annyeong haseyo! Hi!” greet the man when he gets off the bike.

The three friends were shocked. Did they not see wrong. A tall man, looks athletic just by wearing a singlet T-shirt, his typical East Asian face is no stranger to smile at them.

“Ji Chang Wook!” they were strangled in disbelief.

Ji Chang Wook smiled charmingly. Then stepped over to Lisa who made her two friends envious.

“What's your name?” ji Chang Wook asked to make Lisa's heart jump. “You look different and beautiful with that head covering cloth and a shirt with a unique fabric motif,” continued Ji Chang Wook pointed at the hood and the batik motif clothes worn by Lisa.

“This is a hijab and this is an Indonesian batik motif,” is short once Lisa's answer. He was clumsy with Ji Chang Wook's praise earlier.

Ji Chang Wook reached over Lisa's shoulder. Lisa reflexively stepped back avoiding the burly hand of Ji Chang Wook.

“Sorry. I am a Muslim so I can't hold on to just any man. Sorry,” said Lisa later.

Ji Chang Wook pulled back his outstretched hand. No offence. Just say it politely.

“You are such a beautiful and different girl,” makes Lisa's heart jump again.

But. but why can they chat so casually and fluently when their language is different. Lisa closed her eyes and pinched her cheek to ascertain if this was a dream or real.

Slowly Lisa opened her eyes. His eyes feel heavy. It turns out it was just a dream. She fell asleep with her K-pop song Ji Chang Wook still bouncing off a smartphone.

Lisa grabbed a smartphone. Open instagram. Her eyes widened. He saw a picture of Ji Chang Wook riding a motorcycle around Bali. Ji Chang Wook came to Bali for a photo shoot for Maria Claire magazine.

A moment later, Lisa's smartphone popped. An incoming message from Dian that reads, Aaa, I want to go to Bali to see Ji Chang Wook Oppa…
