Jungkook and Sarah were out for hours.
Somehow, they went from trying street food (and mutually hating most of it) to walking old bridges, through city parks to visiting temples.
The two had talked for so long, their throats became hoarse.
But, Jungkook was so comfortable, like he wasn't an idol. He was Jungkook. Or... Kookie.
And Sarah felt like she saw a new side of Jungkook. Vulnerable and awkward.
He'd broken a door handle trying to open it for her, gotten pummeled by an elderly woman when he tried to pick up her fallen bag, as she had thought he was trying to steal it.
But the best part was Jungkook trying to save a cat stuck in a tree.
"Maybe if you call it!" Sarah encouraged, as the taller Jungkook reached for a hissing, frightened cat.
"Uh... here kitty kitty?"
Somehow, that triggered a world war meow memory in the cat's brain, as it lunged for Jungkook, latching on to the poor boy's arm, chest and face.
Sarah was much too busy laughing to help, but finally pulled it off once Jungkook started shrieking "Not the hair! Not the hair!"
The calico fluffball of a feline melted into Sarah's arms almost instantly, as Jungkook stared in bloody awe.
"How the hell did you do that?" He said, fixing his hair as he watched her stroke the purring cat.
Sarah laughed and handed the idol a tissue from her bag.
"You have to let the cat know you're it's friend by feeling. You probably scared it because you were scared."
Jungkook bit his lip.
Wow. She's...
"Come on, let's take him to a shelter!"

"Is it done?" Namjoon asked, peeking over Hoseok's shoulder.
"I think so."
"You just had to use that song, didn't you?"
"Obviously! She has to know we're the ones who put it together, not her company." Hoseok ejected the hard drive. "Put this on Jin's computer, upload it through the BTS Twitter, got it?" He handed the hard drive to Jungkook, who glanced at Sarah.
"This will work ... right?"
Sarah chewed her lip in thought.
"If the American side of the company sees that the fans are trying to get the band and Riley back together, they will be forced to send her back for public opinion. Also... it may raise a big stink."
"Big ... stink?" Jin mumbled, his brows furrowed as he repeated. Namjoon translating in a whisper. Jin suddenly guffawed, slapping a hand over his mouth.

It was way past 9pm at this point, and Riley was watching a video instead of working.
But... it wasn't just some how to cooking video, or a bts funny moments compilation... but it was BTS themselves. Gathered together.
"Good morning, afternoon and eve!" They all said at once. They were copying her intro.
Tears welled in Riley's eyes before she could stop them. Just seeing the seven men on her screen squeezed her heart like a third heartbreak.
