Never Give Up

Chapter 4

POV: Y/N

"So are you enjoying meeting your dream partner?" the voice asked you with all the snark in the universe.

You wanted to look around to find the source of the voice. "This wasn't what I meant. What's going on?"

"If you wanted to meet them..." the voice trailed off.

You opened your eyes to be snared by a face with a ravishing smile. "Beautiful," that mouth said and you could feel a blush creep along your cheekbones. You had seen the BTS members come into the room, but the second Hobi touched you, all had gone black... AGAIN! What in the world is going on?

"Y/N?" a soft voice demanded your attention and you dragged your gaze away from Jung Hoseok.

"Wazzup, Namjoon?" You asked, still feeling a little fuzzy.

"Korean, Y/N," he said with a smile.

"Hmmm?" You didn't know why he was asking you to speak in Korean. Weren't you...? Suddenly, it all came back to you. You weren't you. You were in Korea. You were... surrounded... by BTS??? "Oh, I'm so dreadfully sorry," you stuttered in embarrassment. You lurched to your feet to bow in apology and Hobi caught you before you fell on your face. He smiled at you softly and you could only smile back. "Thanks."

"Any time, Y/N. You just woke up after fainting. Sudden moves should wait for another time." He sat you back on the couch and patted your head.

You hummed in delight and leaned into his hand unconsciously. Laughter from Taehyung brought you back to reality and your blush became more intense. You sat back, removing yourself from Hobi's touch. "Sorry," you muttered.

"Again, you just woke up, Y/N," Jin said softly. "There's no reason to be embarrassed." He looked at his younger members sternly.

You smiled at Jin in thanks. "I appreciate you, Kim Seokjin."

He smiled with a wink. His overly flirty nature sometimes was a little over the top for you, but he was just so generous when helping others. "Well, to keep the appreciation going, would you like to come to dinner with us? I heard you haven't been eating very much and one slice of tangerine isn't going to help your hypoglycemia."

You looked at them all. They were all smiling with the exception of Yoongi, but that wasn't really a surprise. They didn't know you, after all, and you knew he was more reserved than some of the rest. "Oh, I really appreciate the offer, but I can just get something to eat at home... You know, when Namjoon gives me back my ID."

Jin looked at Namjoon in surprise. "You've confiscated her ID? What for?"

Namjoon managed to look chagrined. "It isn't that I won't give it back, hyung. I just had a bunch of questions and she was going to run off."

Jin tsked his younger member in disapproval. "Keeping her ID could almost be considered kidnapping or illegal restraint, Kim Namjoon. Give it back to her right this instant."

You smiled as Namjoon blushed and ducked his head like a pre-teen. Omo, they're so cute! You'd admired these handsome boys for such a long time. It was so lovely to see them acting like regular young men. You just wanted to pinch all their cheeks! "Sorry, Y/N," Namjoon muttered. "I didn't mean to trap you here."

"I know that... I understand. But thanks, Namjoon. I really appreciate that." You smiled at all of them and realized that discretion might be the better part of valor. You had managed to contain your inner fangirl through one conversation with Namjoon. When faced with all of them, you weren't certain how long that could last. You were already embarrassed for fainting at their touch... You couldn't imagine how you'd feel if you started squealing like a star-struck teenager. You carefully stood up and slung your bag over your shoulder. It seemed really heavy so you looked in it quickly. Ah, Ahnjong prepared presents for all of them. Should I give everything to them now? Should I wait for her to return so she can see their reaction? Will she be able to see them again? Will I get back to my body?
