The rest of the day was spent with 6 of the 7 BTS members, them happily chatting and asking me questions, and me answering most of them.

Yoongi-ahjussi had gotten over our mocking for the most part, but still shooting me a glare or two whenever I called him Ahjussi in conversation.

"So I-ji-ah, Yoongi tells me you're from London." said Seokjin-oppa.

"I can't believe word has gotten around so fast," I said, shocked. "I only told him so last night."

"Eyy, Yoongi-hyung meant to introduce you to us when you said you'd bring him coffee," said Hobi-oppa. "He just didn't tell you to rile you up," he continued.

I am suddenly very thankful that I decided to bring extra drinks with me.

"So you know pretty much everything about me then?" I asked, feeling a bit silly.

"Just enough," said Jungkook. "Yoongi-hyung told us the basics, you know how he is"

"Ahh, I see" I replied. "Well, I'm studying hair colouring and design at Seoul Beauty School at the moment, while interning at a Salon a little way from here. I also take the night shift at the convenience store down the road to support myself. A bit like a working-holiday/ international studies situation."

"I did my BA in Fine Art and MA in Sculptural Fashion Design in London before coming here. My family is originally from Hong Kong, but we moved to the UK a few years ago. I still do freelance art at home, when I have time off from school and work," I said.

Taehyung-oppa gasped, "Wah, you work so hard! You're just like Jiminie."

I quickly denied, not wanting the topic to focus too much on that.

"Can I see your art?," asked Jungkook-oppa, doe eyes opened wide.

"Sure! I would've brought my portfolio if I'd known, but here's my art account" I replied, showing them my phone. It would be easier for them to view my account on their devices, instead of passing my beat-up phone around.

I noticed Jungkook-oppa was having a bit of struggle looking over Taehyung-oppa's shoulder, so I passed him my phone, remembering that he had deleted instagram.

I'm such an informed ARMY, I know.

"Wah, you do photography too?" asked Hobi-oppa, staring intently at his screen.

"Yeah.. I have some experience with the medium as I often had to do a lot of filming and fashion photography for my MA."

"So what do you do exactly? From what I've seen, you practically work in every medium!", Jimin-oppa exclaimed.

"I started off as a painter in high school, and I work in oils, acrylics, occasionally watercolours.. I also took an interest in photography and sculpture when I was in Uni, which really paved the way for my MA degree. I never thought I would enjoy studying Fashion, I always thought it would remain a side interest that I would read up on and study in my free time, but I started to really get into it when I saw London Fashion week for the first time.. I am still not the best at handling textiles, but I do like to make wearable pieces. I prefer to present my work as films when I do fashion work, but one thing that remains constant is my poetry."

"OH-" exclaimed Taehyung-oppa, holding up his phone. "I love this piece, do you still have it?"

It was a 4-piece suit with subtle hints of flora and fauna, one of my more wearable pieces, made entirely from textile, with stretches of velvet and tulle tucked between the layers, creating a masc-fem ensemble.
