kim kibum, mind-blowingly amazing

So i was lucky enough to visit seoul for 8 days from 17-25 august. remembering that on august 21 is kibum's birthday, i just had to find him, no matter what it takes. what i did when i arrived in Seoul is i went to Dakeya every single day. dakeya is a sort of japanese restaurant, more correctly to be said as an izakaya, google if you dont know what it means.

The reason i went to Dakeya every day is because it's kibum's favorite place to hang out and the owner of the place is kibum's best friend, park sumin. he was really nice. on our 3rd day he told us that super junior kangin was coming and he really did. and sumin asked us who our favorite member was. i said it was kibum and he said he could call kibum to come right then. he did call kibum but he didn't come, after all it was his birthday, he was probably doing something somewhere else whatever and wherever that is.

Time passes and before i knew it i only had two full days to spend in Seoul. 2 days, that's all i have to find kibum oppa. Ajeng was already having her luck with KiChul and i'm just horrified that i would have to return before i meet kibum oppa. Than the next day, a miracle occured. miracles actually.

kibum tweeted that he was filming his new drama in KyeongBok Palace. i went there straight away with only changing my clothes. When i arrived, the huge gate at the front (GwangHwaMun) was closed, and the tourist information also said it was closed. i decided to go around the gate and try to find another entrance. turns out there is one other entrance, it opens straight to the parking lot and there were people wearing ID tags and hanboks everywhere. i knew i was in the right place.

i sat at a corner and waited for about an hour. i know this is where the actors were going to have lunch cause the actresses just finished theirs. turns out i was right, when the actresses left, the actors came out and there he was, kim kibum oppa in korean traditional clothing. me and a few fans starting panicking and scattering all over the place. i chose to stand somewhere in front of the toilet so that if he decides to go to the loo, he would pass me. the luck that i have, he really did head for the loo and he passed right in front of me. sooooooooo close. we were only a meter away and i was completely shaking and i couldn't move, i couldn't even say anything. this is the kibum i've been dying to see for ages and ages. he's actually here and he's a million times hotter than he ever was on photos/videos. his snow white skin glowed even more under the sun and he was absolutely gorgeous. when he passed me, i finally managed to say, 'annyeong oppa, happy birthday.' he then turned his head back and smiled and me. not a huge smile like he usually does, but the smile was there, a smile of sincere. and i was in heaven.

we weren't allowed to do much that time, we can't take pictures, his manager is always around and he only answered what he needed to answer. we walked back with him to the set until finally he said "ok, bye bye" and disappeared behind the gate. that day, for the whole day, i was totally kibumized. terkibum-kibum. kibum is all i can think about and he's all i can talk about. i was completely over the moon. i went to some corner away from the other fans and i sobbed quitely, happy happy tears. i was exhilarated.

i decided that i should go to dakeya again that night (as usual) and tell park sumin that i just met kibum! so later than night, me and ajeng head for dakeya. when we arrived, i saw from outside a figure so familiar it's unmistakeable, it must be him and no one else. kim kibum was inside dakeya. jesus H! i was meeting him for the second time that day! right when i was completely swooned by him, and i get to meet him again. this is all to good to be true. i pushed the door and went in and acted as calm as i possibly could.

i took a seat facing him, and all of a sudden he was waving at me, "hello!" There was only wall behind me so it was none other than me he was waving at, and i managed to wave back, "hello oppa, you remember me?" and he answered "yeah!" i sat down and started crying again, this is too much. there were about 8 fans earlier today and he remembered me. i stopped myself from crying cause it would be too embarrassing if he saw me. so i calmed down and ordered a drink.

i really enjoyed being in the same room as kibum. i love his voice more than anything. his talking voice i sometimes play over and over in my ipod cause i love it so much. i just wish i could understand what he was saying, haha. after quite a while, not sure how long, like 15-30 minutes, he stood up from his table and walked towards the toilet, i looked down and pretend to be busy with my mobile cause the only way to get to the toilet is by passing my table. i dont want to stare while he walks past me. so i looked down and acted busy and it truly was the shock of a lifetime when he didn't go to the toilet, instead he sat on my table on the chair opposite of me. i think i had DIED. there is NO WAY this is happening. things like this only happen in movies and fan fiction. i was definitely in a dream. i just sat there agape when he took a glass and offered it to me. i just stayed still and had no idea what to do, i was pretty much still in shock and my friend, ajeng, came to be the heroin and poured a drink to his glass. when kibum's glass was filled he put it forward and clinked it against my glass. "nice to meet you" he said. and can only reply with "nice to meet you too" and he started the conversation by asking "so where do you guys come from?"

i dont want to go into to much detail into my conversation cause well, it is private. hehe. it was nothing personal i swear. if you're really dying to know then you can contact me, but i can't write it all down here. apart from it being private, it is too long to write anyway. what i can tell you is it all ended in a handshake. he was the one who offered his hand and said again "nice to meet you" and when he held my hand, i didn't want to let go, i held on to in until he had to kind of pull it away. it was embarrassing but it was too beautiful, too smooth, and too surreal that i really didn't want to let go.

physically, i daresay photos and videos don't do him justice. his skin is snow white. really smooth smooth skin it's like there's milk falling through it. and his oh-so-famous killer smile, it's so much better in real life, it really is killer. and when i talk he really looks at me, like really listens while looking into my eyes and that sometimes causes me to just fly to space with pure happiness. and his teeth, it's THAT perfect. it's exactly like in the pictures, so right, so neat, so white. and his cheeks really are that chubby you wish you could just go ahead and kiss it.

what he was wearing that time was a black cap, a white armani exchange wife-beater, black khakis, a gucci belt and crocs. haha. it's not the first time i've seen him wear those stuff.

all in all, it was an AMAZING experience. it was EXTRAORDINARY. i like kibum THAT MUCH and i was soooooo lucky to have him to come to me and be soooo nice :'''''''')

ps: oh, and i can tell you he speaks perfect english. so much better than what we see in full house
