YOUR POV

"So what's your next goal?" a curious Joonha asked, taking a seat beside me at the counter.

"Slipping on a banana peel, landing in Kim Taehyung's arms and ending up as his soulmate is my ultimate goal," I said, dramatically flipping my hair.

"Gosh, Yn! You and your delusions," Joonha said while Ra-Mi was laughing hysterically.

"But that's not all you want to be, is it? What about your career? What do you dream of becoming in the future?" he asked.

"Well, I've always loved painting. I want to become an artist. Do you know Kim Ufan?"

"Yeah, I do. The most famous artist and sculptor in South Korea."

"Yes. Like every year, an art campaign will be held in different countries around the world. A campaign will be held in South Korea, this year, under the mentoring of Kim Ufan. I've applied to get into the program but... I'm nervous. What if I get rejected? I don't know what I'll do," I said, feeling worried.

Since I've already graduated from high school, now I need to decide my future. Ra-Mi has taken admission in SNU, Nenec is also going to a college. But I want to pursue my career in art and learning from a legend like Mr. Kim Ufan is a golden opportunity.

"Yn, look at me," Joonha said, breaking my trance. "I believe in you. You will get selected, okay? Don't worry too much," he said, giving me a playful shoulder bump.

"Yeah. Your paintings are amazing, Yn. You'll get in for sure," Ra-Mi encouraged.

"Okay, I need to leave for the delivery now," Joonha said, making me confused.

"But we got it delivered this morning," I replied, raising an eyebrow.

"No, this one goes to HYBE," he said, grabbing the boxes.

HYBE building? Should I go? Maybe I'll meet an idol if I'm lucky? Come on Yn, we don't get such chances everyday. Just go, I convinced myself in my mind.

"I'll go!" I said, grabbing the boxes from him.

"Why? I can do it. You don't need to bother," he said, trying to take the boxes back.

"No, Joonha... uh... you– you take care of the shop. Ummm, I'm bored sitting inside the shop, so I'll go, okay?" I made the world's lamest excuse and ran out of the shop with the boxes in my hand while I'm jumping in excitement inside.

"What happened to her?" Joonha asked to Ra-Mi.

"I don't know. Sometimes, I just don't understand this girl," she replied, weirded out.

AUTHOR'S POV

Yn walked slowly down the corridor, opting for the stairs over the elevator after delivering the food to the staff. She glanced around, hoping to spot a famous personality.

Just as she turned a corner, Jungkook emerged from the practice room.

What is this pervert doing here again?, he thought, annoyed. He saw her glancing around like a burglar while walking, he stepped in front of her and demanded, "What are you looking for?"
