Serendipity

Chapter Three

"Well, now that the introductions are done, we can start heading out!" Rm clapped his hands and began to walk to the door. Everybody followed him obediently, but I just don't understand.

I turn around one last time, hoping to get a reaction. "Mom, I guess this is goodbye for good."

She did not respond. She didn't even look up at me. I sighed and left with BTS. There were two cars parked in front of the house, and I assumed they belonged to the seven men. I did not know which car to go into, so I went up to J-Hope, hoping he could help me. "Hey, is it okay if I sit next to you?"

He looked at me and gave a sweet smile, "No, I get bothered by the smell of onions." After saying that, he walked away. I stood there in shock. Surely, he didn't mean that I stink. Maybe he just ate something with onions and the smell was bothering him. As I pondered the reason, Jungkook latched onto my arm.

"You can sit with me! Jimin and Tae will be riding with us, so this will be a great chance to get to know each other!" He was beaming at me, and there was no way I can refuse him when he's this excited. I nod my head and follow him to the car.

Jimin is sitting in the driver's seat, Taehyung was in the passenger seat, and Jungkook sat in the back with me. Jimin turned on the radio and started the car. "I don't know where we are going, but we are following RM's car. Let's do this guys!" Jimin said, and the others erupted in cheers. I smiled a bit. They don't seem half bad, and I like their energy. Jimin and I locked eyes in the rearview mirror. He shot me a smile and asked, "I didn't catch your name in the house, do you mind saying it?"

That's right! I never introduced myself. "My name is Y/N, it's nice to meet you guys."

Jimin nodded slightly and focused on the road. Taehyung high fived me, and Jungkook grinned at me. "I really like your name! It suits you!" Jungkook said and turned around, seemingly captivated by the outside world. I laughed to myself and looked out my window as well. I saw a mall in the distance, and I immediately knew that was our destination. We pulled into the parking lot and found an available space 10 minutes after. Jimin and Jungkook were in their own little world, chatting and laughing, and Taehyung was lost in his phone. I followed them silently and met up with the others at the front of the mall. I noticed they all were all covered up. If I wasn't with them from the beginning, I would not have known who they were.

RM led the way, and stopped in front of an H&M. He looked at me and said, "Find what you like, and we'll buy it."

I nodded and started to wander around the store. As I browsed the tops, a shirt was shoved in my hands. I looked up and saw Jungkook shyly smiling at me. "I thought this would look nice on you..." he said quietly. I smiled and looked at the shirt. It was a yellow off-the-shoulder crop-top with frills on the sleeves. It was absolutely beautiful, and I couldn't wait to try it on.

Soon after that, Jimin handed me a baby blue dress that was glittery. Taehyung handed me a red sundress with roses on the top. The three boys seemed to have a lot of fun picking out my clothes, so I let them. I felt like a doll, but their smiles were worth it.

They shoved me into the changing room and excitedly waited for me to try the clothes on. I tried on the yellow shirt Jungkook gave me first. I walked out of the room and spun around for them to see. Jimin and Taehyung clapped and cheered loudly, RM smiled and gave me a thumbs up, Jin and Yoongi were nowhere to be found, and J-hope walked up to me.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled. He seemed to be hiding a laugh. Our eyes met and he sweetly said "Yellow is not a good color on you. It makes you look a bit fat. Try on something else and see if it fits properly." He gently turned me around and nudged me back into the changing room.

On the other side of the door, I hear the members whispering and scolding him. He didn't seem to care, and they all went silent for a bit. I took a deep breath and tried on the blue dress Jimin gave me. I looked at myself in the mirror and grinned. It looked so good on me! I walk back out the door to show the guys, and their reactions were nothing other that energetic. Jimin jumped up and ran circles around me, giggling like a kid, and the others shouted compliments and offered smiles.

I looked towards J-Hope, and RM whispered something to him. I couldn't clearly hear what he said, but it sounded similar to "be nice". J-Hope straightened his back and smiled again. A smile I've come to dread. He let out a deep breath and spoke, "That is a very...loud dress. Well, I'm sure you'll stop traffic!"

Before I had a chance to react, someone stepped in front of me, standing between me and J-Hope. "Dude, you're killing our vibes! We don't need your negativity bringing us down. What's gotten into you! This isn't the Hobi I know and love."

"Well, Jimin, people change."

With that, J-Hope stormed out.
