One day, one experience, one moment will change the life of our protagonist Y/N. She is a mediocre girl from the Gangnam District and despite the tall skyscrapers and up-scale community, she is just a normal 22-year old women. Read to find out about...
" Wait! You have to tell me what all of this is about. Yah, I'm talking to you."
"Please stay quite and come with us."
The day couldn't be any worse than this. First none of the Astro members recognize me and now....now I'm being taken somewhere without my consent. What is happening? As I kept walking with the guards, they took me to this room somewhere in the far back of the building. They asked me go in the room and sit there. I wanted to ask why but all my questions have been unanswered since the beginning so I decided to say nothing.
Its been about 2 hours now. I have been waiting in this room for something to happen, for someone to come, for anything! Just as I kept starring at the windows and the couches in front of me, another hour just passed by. After about 210 minutes of just sitting around, I was furious and I went towards the door. As I tried to twist the knob, I realized that the door was locked from the outside. Step two was to start banging the door and that's exactly what I did.
(Banging)" Yah, is anyone there? Hello? Its been 3 hours and I have been waiting here. (Banging) Let me out of here!"
I was tired and I wanted to go home. I couldn't bear the suspense of what was going to happen. Tears were coming out of my eyes now. Yes, I was crying. Not because I was scared but because of the realization of loneliness. You know that I was always a lonely person. I had no family and no friends. My life has been lonely just the way it was right now in this room. That very realization made me cry.
My back was against the door when suddenly I felt some movement on the door. Quickly, the door was pushed in and I was almost about to fall from the push when I felt a soft, almost angelic hand grabbed me by the wrist.

I was about to turn to back to see who is was but suddenly I heard a sweet voice say, "Did you have to wait too long? Mianhae" I quickly turned back to fill my eyes with the wonder of seeing Astro standing right there in the door with Eunwoo holding my hand. I didn't know what to say. Before I could say sorry or thank you, MJ said "(Y/N)! How are you? We are so sorry you had to wait this long."
"Yes, we expected the event to finish 2 hours ago but there were just too many fans we had to meet." (Sanha)
Eunwoo was still holding my hand, like to almost assure me that they are here for me. Everyone saw the tears that were coming out of my eyes. Rocky and Jinjin quickly walked up to me and started to wipe the tears from my face. I was more then overwhelmed at that very moment. I was almost living a contrasting scene. Moments ago I felt lonely but just seconds ago, upon the arrival of these 6 angels, I now feel satisfied and happy for the first time.
"I am really sorry (Y/N). I recognized you the moment you sat in front me but we were worried that if we show that we know you then some sasaengs might hurt you. You know to what extent they can do things. We all wanted to make sure that you are safe." (Rocky)
"He's right! We couldn't afford anyone to get hurt because of us. We knew you were coming in advance so we all decided to put up an act in front of others and ask our trusted guards to escort you here until the event comes to an end so that we can meet you here." (Moonbin)
"I...I honestly don't know what to say. I was almost disappointed that you didn't recognize me but I knew how busy you all are and sometimes its easy to forget things so I convinced myself that you forgot that night we met."
"How could we ever forget you? That night was just as memorable for us as it was for you. Do you know what we did after you left that night? We started to wonder how we could see you again and meet you one more time. " (Jinjin)
"I wanted to see you all again as well. You know......I don't have a family or any friends either but whenever I see you guys, it makes me feel happy and...and.." I got emotional as I was explaining it to them. They all noticed it immediately and gathered around to hug me. Their warm and cozy hug gave me the feeling of the family that I always wanted.
"Yah, please don't cry. We are always here for you whenever you need us. And how dare you say you don't have a family. You have us (Y/N)." (Eunwoo)
We continued the afternoon with a lot more talking. MJ was cracking frequent jokes that made everyone laugh in the room. We shared stories of our first jobs, our hometowns and many other things to know each other. I finally had a family that I could rely on. This one day was enough for me to live my entire life. It doesn't matter to me if I don't ever see them again because the feeling of their support was enough for me.
As I was leaving I said, "Thank you so much you guys. I will never forget this day. I finally found friends and I mean real friends. I said it that day and I will say it again. You guys are idols and very popular idols but you guys are amazing people. I hope you stay this way and achieve great things in the future. Thank you once again. Bye!"
Suddenly, I heard my name from across the room, "(Y/N)! Wait! We haven't exchanged numbers yet."
What? Numbers?
