I feel bad lying to Yoongi, but it is needed for the surprise to work out on his birthday. I’m flying to Seoul in an hour and I’m already at the airport checking in. I can’t wait to see the guys and be working with them.
Two months ago I got a call from Sejin.
--
“HI Angie! This is Sejin, BTS’ road manager, do you still remember me?”
“oh wow! Hi Sejin! Of course I remember you. This is surprising… how are you? ”
“I’m doing great, I hope you are too… Yes, sorry to call you out of the blue. But I need to ask you something, but I would need to set up a meeting in webex if you don’t mind.”
“Sure. But what is this about?”
“We need you to join our team.”

I was highly recommended by the guys, Sejin and the other crew members who were here in UAE, to be their official translator and Quality Analyst. I was interviewed by Bang Si Hyuk, and asked me more on my current QA role, as my multilingual skills has already been proven effective.
I’d be their official English tutor, but a translator most of the time. I will be monitoring the media ins and outs, contracts, root cause analysis and fixes, and projects. I’d be working mostly with the Marketing Team.
I opened Kakao and messaged Yoon-
Me: Hey you. I’m boarding the plane to Bahrain in a few minutes. I may go straight to my training class. I’ll message you when I find time, OK?
Yoongi: OK. Please take care. Can we video chat for a while? I have 5 minutes before we start shooting.
After a nine hour flight, I arrived in Seoul and found the driver waiting for me with my name. He gave me his phone as soon as we were inside, and heard Sejin on the other line.
“Annyeong Angie! Welcome to South Korea!”
“Hahaha Thank you Sejin, I’m so excited to be here.”
“We are excited to have you in our team. Mr. Park will drive you to your apartment, and he will pick you up after an hour…” as he briefed me on tonight’s plan.
Today is Yoongi’s 25th birthday. I purposely didn’t greet him, because I want to do it in person, for the first since we met. Only Sejin, Bang PD and a few PR guys know that I’m coming. Sejin has planned a surprise late dinner for Yoongi. As Mr. Park left after helping me out with my luggages, I’m so happy with the accommodation they have provided me. There are two rooms, one is set up like an office, and my bed room with its own bathroom. I went to my room and spent a few good minutes admiring how pretty it is. I realized that I have spent almost half an hour checking the place.
I opened my luggage and searched for a weather comfy outfit. It’s around degrees celcius outside, and thank God, I packed my thick jacket.
I went to take a quick shower and put on a little make up. I’ve decided to wear orange pants, black boots, white sweater and black jacket. I just let my hair down and accessorized it with a hat, and sprayed on a little perfume. Mr. Park called me just in time I finished.
I met Sejin in a meeting room and hugged.
“It’s so nice to see you again, Angie.” Such a warm welcome from Sejin, accompanied by a sweet smile and heart eyes.
“To be honest, I was excited at first. But now I’m both excited and nervous.” I told him while massaging my hands due to the anticipation.
“They’d be here any second now, without Yoongi. We want Yoongi to have all the surprise to himself. I’m sure he’d think it’s a typical cake surprise…”
Knock, knock.
“Come in” He said after he got interrupted.
The door opened and Namjoon spotted me right away. He stopped walking, which blocked the other members’ path. His mouth open with surprise and trying to process if it was really me he’s seeing “Woah!!!” The other guys started to get curious what made him stop and started to push him in. And they all saw me, my eyes starting to well up while I laugh.
“Nooooona!!” JK immediately ran towards me, I stood up to welcome him in my arms, and hugged this grown baby. “Noona, gwenchana?” His eyes mirroring my welled up eyes. “I missed you Noona. I love you Noona.” He alternated kissing my hair, hugging me and checking my face. I just kept crying and smiling.
Taehyung and Jimin followed, “Nooooooona!! We missed you! You become more beautiful! Suga hyung will go crazy” Jimin pinched Tae, who’s giving me a mischievous grin. I didn’t have time to question that gesture because I needed to greet everyone else, so I brushed it off. they hugged me so tight, giving me so much positive energy, and then checking my leg. “Haha, I’m fine now, don’t worry.” I figured they feel that I’m still injured.
Namjoon collected me onto his chest and whispered sweet nothings and kissed my hair. “Yoongi hyung will be so shocked! He’s complaining to me the whole day that you forgot his birthday!” I pulled out of his chest to see look at him “Haha, I can’t wait to see his reaction. You’ve gotten more handsome Joonie. Have you broken any hearts lately?” I teased him. He responded with a very shy smile “Haha, thank you.”
Hobi is crying and smiling, and we started laughing as we hugged. “Gwenchana? Are you feeling better?” he kissed the tip of my nose. I blushed. “Yes. You don’t have any idea how happy I am right now.” I told him. He hugged me again and kissed my forehead. “We are so happy to see you again, it’s been so long.”
“Excuse me, excuse me, saving the best for last” He said it in English, as he is fixing his collar. I smiled at Hobi and let go of him and went to Jin’s open arms. He wrapped and hid me in his wide shoulders “We missed you very much, you know? Gwenchana? I’ll cook for you again, OK? What are you doing here? How long are you here for?”
“Angie is here to surprise Yoongi on his birthday.” Sejin answering on my behalf.
“She contacted me and we arranged for it. So, we will be doing the same cake surprise dinner for Yoongi, and Angie will bring in the cake. Remember, don’t drop any hints, ok?” Sejin briefed the boys. “I asked him to go to the dance studio, so he is there now waiting for us. You know what to do.”
They went out and headed to the studio, so I followed. My heart is racing, I think I’m going to faint. I took a few deep breaths to compose myself, and I saw the boys went in started greeting him a happy birthday. Sejin handed me the birthday cake, when I heard Yoongi’s voice complaining “What is this? Where’s my cake?!”. I gasped with excitement. Sejin went in last.
“Your cakes a bit late, but it’s coming.” Sejin answered.
