Three months passed.
I had a long day and I was supposed to have dinner with Hayley. I didn't take my car that day. It was a nice rooftop building, from where the lights of Seoul can be seen. The staff recognised me and directed me to the more private area. I was kinda shocked at first because I was not that popular but guess I was getting more popular with time, especially with my recent speech getting more than 50M views on YouTube. I texted Hayley up. She didn't reply. I thought she was driving or busy and I came a bit earlier so it's fine to wait up. I started scrolling my phone. I saw a guy in black walk to the table in front of me and sit. I didn't pay much attention and got back on my phone. I received a call from Hayley. I picked it up.
" Babe, Babe , Babe I'm really really sorry, I got a emergency patient and I can't join you for dinner. I'm so sorry."
"Don't be sorry. Cut the call. Good Luck"
I was responding to a text as I felt someone standing beside my table.I looked up, it was that guy in black. He was wearing a cap and a mask. I could barely see his eyes because of his hairs.
"Annyeonghaseyo. Are you Srisha-ssi?"
I heard the voice and it sounded like him. No way I could have got that wrong but it might have been someone else too. I tried to be as normal as I could.
"Yes." I said hiding my shock.
"I'm Park Jimin. I read your book and also heard your speech. I was really moved by your words. Nice to meet you"
I stood up .My insides were screaming at that moment. I couldn't take in what was happening but I got to myself and did well enough.
"Annyeonghaseyo Jimin-ssi. I'm so glad for getting appreciated by you. It really means a lot. Thank you so much" I bowed while thanking.
Did I just meet my bias randomly and did he come up to me to appreciate my work and he knows me, he knows my existence!? I need to make sure I'm not dreaming. And I was not dreaming. There he was. My idol bias for so many years, whom I never saw face to face, was standing right in front of me. I managed myself up.
Before I could say anything he said
"Would you mind if I join you for dinner? My friend got some work and guess yours is stuck too."
Would I mind? Seriously? My bias asked me out for dinner? Is all this even happening or am I hallucinating? but I was really sweet and formal and behaved comfortably with him. BTS was like my family and I felt comfortable although I never physically spent time with them.
"It would be a pleasure to have dinner with you, Jimin ssi."
He sat opposite to me and we ordered what we wanted to eat.
He removed his mask and I could see his face. With just the few minutes I spent with him physically, he made me feel so good. He was so sweet and kind and respectful. His behaviour said it all.
We were waiting for the food.
"So how much do you know about me?"
"I have been an army for five years now. That is enough to say how much I know about you. I hope I am not making you feel uncomfortable."
"You are an army? Really?" He said giggling a bit.
"Yeah. I'm really surprised that you know me."
"I came upon your video a few days back and watched it. Your words really made an impact on me. Then I watched a few more of your videos. Also planning on reading the book "Stories we tell"."
"Well my words are influenced by you guys as BTS made me a better person than who I already was. I couldn't thank you guys enough for that. I genuinely hope that my words help you and you like my work. It's a great achievement for me to be acknowledged by my idols."
"That's really sweet. You know when I entered, I saw a glimpse of your face and thought that it was you, but I wasn't sure until I heard your voice. So I came up to you."
"I never expected that one of my idols would come up to me and acknowledge my work. I didn't even expect to meet you so randomly somewhere like here."
"I would like to know more about you."
"Sure..."
We kept talking about things while having dinner. It was a really comfortable and heart to heart conversation and I was genuinely enjoying it. I felt a sense of friendship in his words. Although I might have never met him after that, still the thought of having a person around me like him as a genuine friend made me happy. Well, it was just a one time meet and I was imagining friendship. I was already fortunate enough for all that just happened.
We finished dinner , it was pretty late, we chatted long and we were getting up
"I'll walk you till your car."
I suddenly remember that I didn't get my car and Hayley was supposed to be with me. So cab is the savior.
"umm-thanks but I don't have my car today and my friend was supposed to be with me, so I'm gonna get a cab"
"I'll drop you then. I'll get to chat more."
He is so sweet and kind, ready to drop a person whom he never met before. I didn't think much.
"It's fine. You must be tired. I'll get a cab."
"Do I look like I'm going to miss any chance to hear more words from you? Don't worry."
I didn't say anything and followed him to the parking.
"Where do you stay?"
I told him where I was staying.
"Another forty minutes with you. It's the same way so I won't have to drive much either."
"Everything is just so all of a sudden to me. Thank you for making my day better-no wait-for making my year better"
"Will you be my friend? I can make you days-no wait-years better"
"You really think I'm going to deny the offer of being friends with you?"
It was happening. We were actually friends now.
"Now that I've the renowned and beautiful Srisha Roy as my friend, would you like to hangout with me again?"
He was so damn funny or even if he wasn't, whatever he said made me laugh.
"And now that I have my idol, Park Jimin as my friend. I would love to hangout with him"
We kept on talking more and more about things and we reached our apartment.
"Thank you for having dinner with me and everything else."
"I can't thank you enough for everything, Jimin-ssi"
"How do I contact you later?"
"Oh-ya-um text me a hi on this number."
We exchanged numbers. Like seriously? Is he that impressed with me?
"Which apartment do you stay in?"
I pointed towards the building and told him the apartment number.
We bid goodbyes to each other.
I got inside my house, freshened up and changed into comfy nightwear and called up my parents. I had a really packed up schedule the next day and had to go to sleep. I thought about everything that happened tonight and I was tired so I slept.
