2:30PM. My phone vibrated on table
David: how fast can u meet me at this address- 3000 W Alameda Ave, Burbank, CA 91523
Oh my god David... What could he possibly want. I pulled open Google Maps and typed the address in. It's only in Burbank, shouldn't be too far away... 15 minutes. iHeart Radio Theatre. Okay...
Me: it's only 15 min. why???
David: get here asap i swear u wont regret it
Me: i already told u i don't have time for a vlog today
David: its not a vlog. ill explain when you get here. make sure u park around back
Me: fine. but u owe me
I inhaled deeply. This is just like him. My keys jingled around my neck as I marched out the door and got in the car. All the surrounding stores were crowded as usual, and as I drove off, four different cars fought to take my parking spot.
The more I thought about this mysterious meet-up the more suspicious I got. It wasn't my birthday, and there weren't any holidays or special events coming up that was worth a spontaneous celebration. Of course, it could be a prank... but he'd create some sort of casual, believable coverup if that was the case- like "come over and help me rearrange the living room" or "I stepped on glass can you help me get it out." This was too urgent and far too vague, which means he decided to invite me last minute.
What could it be.
The iHeart Radio Theatre came into view, and standing by the side door was David and some other guy I didn't recognize. "Y/N, this is Nathan. You guys haven't met but he's a good buddy of mine" David said as I hopped out of my car, "He works for iHeart Radio and told me to come visit for a surprise." Nathan stood at about 6ft tall with a scrawny build and shaggy hair. He wore black skinny jeans and a denim jacket with a red beanie to top it all off. That tracks.
"Okay, so what's the deal?" I asked, anxious to find out why I had to get here so quickly. "BTS" Nathan said with a huge grin on his face. The irony. "You don't say?" I replied "Here? For like... an interview or something?" He nodded. "How is it that you can have guests?" I followed up. "Well I've been a fan for a little over a month now and of course, everyone knows who they are. So when my boss told me they were coming in for an interview about their new album and the world tour I told him I might have an idea for how we can promote it to people outside of their fanbase" Nathan looked excitedly to David. "And who better to join me for the shoutout than my right-hand gal!" David said, pointing finger guns at me. Well alrighty then. Maybe it was leftover adrenaline from my encounter with flannel boy at the coffee shop, or perhaps even the caffeine itself, but something about this opportunity excited me (aside from the fact that BTS, well, the biggest boy band in the entire world right now). "Im in."
