We started doing shows at our favorite hangout on the weekends, and then I saw an ad for the next Korean Idol, I mean it was a one in a one-in-a-million, you know? I didn't think we would get picked by BTS personally, but we did a week after I secretly sent in the video of us doing a killer version of Mic Drop by our beloved BTS. I mean it was only about a week later when I got an email from BigHit Entertainment saying that Riot of the Purple Angel got in, and that he had to be there in two weeks....so that means I have to tell Hazel and Rebekah what I did or I'll just....no, no that is not an option I know! So I decided to text them to come over to tell them what I did. Anyways they came right over because they thought I was going to take Axel back(as if that is all I'm saying!), I mean I'd rather eat two tubs of cookie dough ice cream than take that douche bag back, you know? Like seriously?! Okay back to me telling them we are going to Seoul, South Korea to perform for BigHit Entertainment, and maybe catch a glimpse of BTS. I'd be happy with a glimpse of them and that's no joke! So today is the day, the day we are performing for BigHit Entertainment, and to say we are nervous is an understatement. Yes we all got on the plane to Seoul, South Korea but I did have a weak moment at the Chicago airport with my ex-boyfriend begging me to stay, and dumbass me almost took him back if Hazel didn't drag me away with Rebekah trailing behind us to our terminal. But that's all in the rearview mirror now because here we are at the record label about to make our dreams come true. Love is going to take a backseat but I'm not going to hold my two best friends back from love though, I mean I'm not that selfish. As our band name is Riot of the Purple Angel, and I took a deep breath before Rebekah started rapping J-Hope's part in Drop, but when my part came I looked in the crowd and made eye contact with the seven members of BTS. I froze but Rebekah elbowed me and my attention turned back to what I was doing. We got through the performance without any help from me, but they were waiting for us backstage and I was not ready to meet my idols....yet! My hands were sweaty and I felt like I couldn't breathe. I mean how would you feel if you were meeting the people you loved and admired? And I knew I was going to act like a complete fool but there was no way around it, so bring it on I guess? As soon as they start talking, I freeze again. Why am I acting like this? And why is Taehyung just looking at me? I don't understand anything that is going on right now. "I'm sorry about my friend." Rebekah spoke up. I looked at her then as I thought to myself thank you for throwing me under the fucking bus...before looking back Taehyung  smiling me now....I told ....I'd make a complete ass of myself, ugh! And to top it off, I looked down at the floor with my cheeks hot when he smiled. I wanted to leave but couldn't move even if I wanted to, plus the boys decided to take us to eat and I tried to politely decline the offer but I was out voted. Keep your cool, I reminded myself. Yeah like that was going to happen, you know? I guess fate had a hold of me at the moment....HELP ME.....PLEASE? The entire time we were having dinner, I was quiet. But I felt his eyes on me the whole time during dinner. What is his problem doesn't he know that staring is flippin' rude? I was going to go off on him, but I thought better of it because of my friends. Plus Taehyung is my bias well. Once we were done with dinner, the guys invited us to their soundcheck before their show tonight, which Hazel and Rebekah blurted out yes before I could even politely decline again. The girls and I went back to our hotel room to get ready. "Alright Em, what's up? I know something's wrong," Hazel said. I just sighed before saying as I fell on the bed behind me, "Did you notice V aka Taehyung stared at me all night?" They both smiled before Hazel said. "Actually, I saw that. It was kinda cute!" I glared at her then at Rebekah as I said. "More rude and creepy!" They both stared at me as they questioned me as well by saying, "That was not rude. Why would you think that was rude?" I didn't know why I was acting this way so I sighed again. "I don't know," I finally answered. And then I spoke again by saying, "Truth is, I'm scared to fall for someone right now." They just nodded before saying, "That is why you need to go with us tonight to meet the guys." I looked at them like they lost their fucking mind as I said. "Did you guys not hear anything I just said?" They just shook their heads yes, so I spoke again by saying, "Then read my lips....I'M NOT GOING.... WITH YOU GUYS TONIGHT!" They asked. "And why not?" I didn't get a chance to answer before Rebekah said. "If you don't go, you'll be wondering what we are doing and driving yourself crazy here by yourself!" They are right but I don't want to be stared at all night. "Ugh," I groaned. And then I said, "Fine, I'll go but I'm going for you guys....happy?" They jumped up and cheered, which led me to roll my eyes. Hazel did my hair and make-up as Rebekah let me borrow her Purple dress that hugs my every curve, so if he was staring before he is going to be staring more now. Oh and plus they put me in flippin' heels too, so this should be fun for me tonight! As Hazel and Rebekah put on a nice top and FUCKING jeans with FUCKING sneakers! I'm still fuming mad as they drag me out of the hotel room.

An hour later we were standing in front of seven guys that we love, but as soon as I looked at Tae who was already eyeing me which made me switch under his gaze. His eyes finally met mine and he gave me that boxy smile that I swear turned my legs into jello, you know? Then he spoke to me in English(which RM must have taught him) by saying, "Hello Emma, you look very beautiful tonight." That made me blush before mumbling a thank you awkwardly, I mean I don't know how to do this, you know? It's been 2 years since I've had to flirt with a guy, and now I'm in South Korea and having V from BTS openly flirting with me....how am I not freaking out right now? I don't know to be honest, but him speaking interrupted my thoughts, "Emma, are you okay?" I wanted to yell at the top of my lungs no, but I decided not to do that, but I did say, "Huh? Oh, yes I'm okay." Then I looked around to see my two friends gone along with six members of BTS....oh FUCKING great I walked into a set up, ugh! Set up and Rebekah are so dead when I see them next, and I do mean that! Taehyung spoke again because I wasn't saying anything, so he said. "Hello I'm V, and I'm a good boy!" Okay that just to be the cutest way to introduce himself or the lamest, but I'm going with cute so I said. "Hi there, good boy!" Then I gave him a little wink. Two hours later Taehyung walked to my hotel room door and said goodnight to me, before turning away and leaving me to watch him as he left. I was also feeling a bit disappointed that he didn't try to kiss me or try to make a move, you know? Oh well I guess, I'm tired so I'm just going to go in now and sleep, but when I walked in I was pounced on by my two so-called friends, Hazel and Rebekah asking me, "Tell us everything that happened tonight....Oh c'mon please....!" I just rolled my eyes and continued to walk to my bed, then I sat down and took the heels off as well before saying, "Don't you mean did your plan work? Oh yeah I know you set me up!" They both looked like they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar, before Hazel said. "You know Taehyung isn't like Axel...right, Em?" Yes I knew that, but....Okay, I'm scared to put myself back out there....happy? Anyways I just nodded at them and then I got up again to change out of this stupid dress, and go to bed but my two friends had other plans for me because Rebekah said. "So what happened with you two tonight? And if you say nothing we will beat you....just saying!" I rolled my eyes before saying, "We just walked around and talked in the park, and then he bought me back here without making a move or kissing me goodnight." Rebekah was grinning as her sister, Hazel was smirking as Rebekah said. "Someone sounds very disappointed about that, right Hazel?" I rolled my eyes at them again as I put on my pajamas and dropped on the bed trying to ignore them until I drifted off to dreamland where Taehyung was waiting for me.....
