Thank you everyone for your input, and help , great advice, things I never knew, a lot to digest for me,

I ended up taking the bike to the LBS where I got it from, the mechanic I think basically moved everything over 1 spot, so now my sweet spot on the small ring / 13 T doesn't make a sound,

but now the small chain ring / 32T makes a sound, but I barely use that gear, so I should be ok,

Also on the big chain ring / 20T there is a slight sound, BUT UNTIL YESTERDAY , I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT TRIM, so a little click, and the noise stopped

Unfortunately, the language barrier here is a bit of a problem , + bike culture, or cycling is relatively new in Korea compared to other countries I think, and as a result, the mechanics are not quite up to par.

Overall, the problem has been solved, I can get into my sweet spot without any sound,

I have the same bike. You shouldn't have any cross chain sounds. Mine is as quiet as can be. Sounds like you need some derailleur adjustment done
Ideally, if your bike makes no cross chain sound, then mine shouldn't either, I'm just not sure the guy can set it up so. I can always take the bike to another LBS, but for now, I'm happy.
