"Minsu misses you, he says you don't really love him" Minji said chewing her gimbap. I rolled my eyes. I talked to my brother almost every other day, he's the one that is always at work or busy. Hell, I don't even have a job yet!

"Tell Minsu he knows where to find me. I don't have a job right now so that ball is in his court" She giggled.

"So I take it everything has been going really well with Bangtan"

"Yeah I can't complain much. Seokjin is warming up to me so now he's just regular ice instead of dry ice" I shrugged. "I guess we can call that progress. Hoseok has opened up a lot more to me, we can be in the same room alone without it being awkward anymore and the rest of the guys are just absolute delights."

"I am so happy to hear that, I knew this would be good for you and them, and I can tell you are a lot happier. I bet you haven't experienced any panic attacks or passed out since you've connected with them" I just smiled in response "Ahh I really am super happy for you, have they said when they would make you all public yet?"

"No not yet, I asked Taehyung about it yesterday actually and he said they have a plan in motion and for me not to worry so much because everything is under control"

"Well that's good, at least they aren't just sitting around twiddling their thumbs. Just be patient and enjoy the peace you have for now because your life will do a 180 when you're revealed. Korean entertainers are held to a different standard than westerners and some of their fans can be really, really, REALLY intense"

"Yeah I have thought about that and I've been doing my research on the guys specifically, it's crazy how devoted these people are, it's like a religion or a cult"

"They are called idols for a reason but BTS are extra special, they really started from nothing and worked like dogs to get everything they have now and their fans were and are a huge help, inspiration and driving force behind the success. Everything they do is with ARMY in mind"

"I'm not throwing shade or hate, I respect the dedication on both ends. It's pretty awesome to have that kind of support and love, to have people genuinely want to see them win and do well" Minji nodded then stuffed another piece of gimbap in her mouth

"Why aren't you eating?" she asked

"I never cared much for gimbap I'll eat with them"

"So what else have you been up to? Any leads on a job yet?"

"None yet. I haven't been very diligent in looking this week but I have sent copies of my resume to six companies so far" I took a sip of my water. I'd been with Minji for about twenty minutes and was already missing Taehyung, I didn't want to just leave after such a short time but I needed him

"What's wrong? You're frowning" I wanted to tell her about my night with him but I've never been close to any female besides my grandmother. Do I tell my sister about my sex life? Is that weird or normal?

"I want to tell you something but I don't know if it is appropriate..." I started, Minji put her plate and chopsticks down and dusted off her hands giving me her full attention

"You can talk to me about anything Ma-ri, even if it's an uncomfortable topic"

"I had sex last night" I spit out then covered my face so she couldn't see my blush stained cheeks

"Oh... okay, uhh isn't that normal for people in a relationship?" she replied with a question, probably confused as to why I felt embarrassed

"Yeah but it was my first time" I mumbled, still covering my face. She pulled my hands away

"What are you saying?"

"It was my first time!"

The silence was so loud.
