Watching the news break on Weverse about this announcement FestaBall this morning has me and every other ARMY in whirlwind of 'if only' and 'I wishes'! Collapsing onto the couch I mutter the same phrases with an added
"could you imagine..."
As my eyes close for just a second before there's a knock at the door. I answer the door a little annoyed that someone was interrupting my daydreaming when the most well poised and put together man I'd ever seen in real life is already holding out an envelope. My hell it's beautiful... like I should almost be wearing gloves just to accept it! It's black with silver script and a purple ribbon... I notice the wax seal... it's the most loved symbol there is to ARMY! It's BTS!
I accept the envelope in a haze but can't help but undo the ribbon with my teeth...gently of course! But such a thing is to be savored is it not? Not knowing quite what is going on but a feeling... a feeling of hope deep down I dare not let it grow... started to do just that.
"Park Jimin would be personally honored if you'd join him for BTS's FestaBall"
Only when the invitation falls to floor did I realize I was in such shock, I had dropped what is now the most sacred thing I own!
"I need this framed!"
I said out loud when I heard a soft "ma'am?" at the door...
"Omg! I'm so sorry!" I say to him as my jaw hits the floor... this amazing godsend of a man is not only still at my door... but he's holding the biggest Tiffany's box I'd ever seen!
"Shut up!!"
I couldn't have held that back even if Jungkook had me in a choke hold! The thought of which made me smile a little!
"Ma'am?!" This glorious messenger asks, yet a tiny smile playing on his lips...
"Sorry!!! Umm yes.. please, put it here!" I said letting him in and with all the professionalism, he places the box down and doesn't even pull a face as he walks out of what must look like the biggest BTS shrine there is that I just so happen to reside in!
As he closes the door I run over to the box and take a deep breath! What on earth could this be? It's huge.. again I get that annoying feeling like I should be wearing gloves! "Why don't I own gloves!!!" I yell frustratingly as I run over and wash my hands! Just seems like the proper thing to do! I ran back and take another deep breath...glancing back at the invitation I close my eyes and remove the lid...
When I open my eyes I literally gasp and drop the lid... scrambling to pick it up I yell "STOP DROPPING SHIT!!" As I can't help but giggle at the thought of Namjoon and how he'd be thoroughly enjoying the show had he been watching me fumble!
Park Jimin... this man really sent me the most beautiful cream colored gown with I swear must be diamonds and Swarovski Crystals all over it. For once I truly had no words!
I looked back at the invite realizing the date of the FestaBall...
"Tomorrow?! You're crazy..." I fall onto my bed in a heap with a bit more than a small amount of anxiety welling up within... "how am I going to do my hair? My makeup?? OMG..." breathing hard I open my tablet to look for hair and makeup ideas I can pull off in 24 hrs...
Yawning I open my eyes to realize...
"I FELL ASLEEP??!!!!"
Looking at the time, I rush to get ready and I get as far as brushing my teeth when there's a knock at my door... 'OMG I DON'T HAVE TIME!!' I mutter flinging the door open!
All of the sudden my apartment is filled with an entire team of people!
"Ya...sure come on in?" I said all confused when a man appears from the crowd of people holding a black envelope that I now recognize! My irritation dissipates instantly as I take the envelope lovingly..
"Park Jimin would be honored if you'd allow his personal team to assist you in getting ready for BTS's FestaBall"
How did he know? I looked up with tears in my eyes and realize that my place has somehow now turned into an entire freaking salon! How in the...
"Jimin didn't want you to stress at all today! Today is about you!"
As I'm being tugged and lead away, the resistance is gone and I decide to just roll with it! I mean.. how many more times in my life will I get the play the part of a princess?!!
The sun had now set and the team of people long gone, I'm left to wear a hole in my carpet with the pacing I'm doing. "Just breathe and don't freak out!" I keep saying in a whisper to myself... I glance in the mirror again and still can't believe how stunning I look...
"is this really real?"
I ask my reflection... Just then I see headlights shine through the window. I freeze unable to move...terrified that if I do, I might wake up. Trying to get some kind of thought in my head, I wondered if I would be going in a limousine! I'd never been in a limousine before and were excited and still terrified when every other sound seemed to immediately vanish. Someone was walking up to the door. No... not someone. I KNEW that sound.. I knew it so well that I could almost see it as it's happening in my minds eye!
CHELSAE BOOTS. THOSE ARE CHELSEA BOOTS. There's no way Jimin would come HERE to pick me up... would he?
*knock knock* it snapped me back and taking a deep breath and a last glance in the mirror... I open the door to hear a gasp that actually matched my own!
Park Jimin is standing in front of me... with his mouth open! He quickly closes it and bows deeply looking like the finest version of himself! Dressed to the max and damn is he impressing!!
"I apologize, but when I chose this dress for you, I never allowed myself to imagine just how much you would enhance it! I knew that any image I thought of, would only pale in comparison to the real thing. I was wise to do so, as you have left me grasping for words at your beauty!"
Blushing deep, I notice that Jimin too is blushing! I knew he was a flirt but the only thing I saw was Jimin... the real genuine Jimin. Holding out his arm I take it and he leads me to not a limousine, but his own personal Porsche!
"I wanted it to be just us, I hope that's ok with you that I drive!" He says as he opens my door!
"It's perfect!" I exclaimed!
Jimin flashes his flirty smile that I knew all too well, and just like that he has put me at ease! As we drive to the FestaBall, we're both amazed and yet somehow unfazed at how easily we converse and laugh! Not just me laughing but him as well! Everything just feels so comfortable and right that I almost don't want to get to the FestaBall, when we arrive in what feels like no time at all.
Jimin kisses my hand that he's been holding and gets out of the car to come open my door like the gentleman that he is!! Only when I get out do I really look and take in where we are!
"Oh my..." again my breath catches! I swear it's like I'd forgotten how to breathe properly in the last 24 hrs! We had come to this unbelievably beautiful estate that is decorated straight out of a fairy land...
Jimin offered his arm and I had taken it without thought. But just as I attempt take it all in, I look back to see Jimin looking back at me, it's like he could read my mind. Placing his free hand over the one I hadn't even noticed I'd placed on him, he looked at me and said...
"Yes, this is really real!" And with his flirty smile he added... "and It's not as beautiful as you!"
Shocked and a bit irritated that I was that easy to not only read but to fluster, Jimin led me into the FestaBall!
All eyes were on me and my Tiffany's gown with the Park Jimin on my arm! I surprise myself with the air of confidence at which I navigate and handle each interaction! Jimin leading me towards the floor when he let's out a playful greeting I again...know all to well! I freeze as I make eye contact with the pair of dimples I have sworn to try and swim in if I ever had the chance! And now they are in front of me...
"Jiminshi! Thank you for getting our guest here safely! I hope everything went smoothly and without any problems?"
Namjoon was talking to Jimin but his eyes never left me. Again I was a little taken aback with my level of comfort at not just Joons eyes on me but everyone around us as well!
"I wondered if you might allow me the privilege the first dance!"
Confused, I looked at Jimin and realized Namjoon was talking to me of course! But... wasn't I going to stay with Jimin? Jimin looked at me and again as if in my head, he gave me a look that calmed me instantly! 'How does he do that?' I wondered with a twinge of annoyance! But truly loving the connection we seemed to have!
"It would be my honor!" I said in a voice that was much steadier than it felt!
Flashing me a smile to melt my unease, I took the arm held out to me! Namjoon lead us onto the dance floor as Jimin quickly disappeared with...omg is that TaeKook???
Namjoon chuckled and led me onto the dance floor, that was now being abandoned...apart from us. Now all eyes really were on us.
"I chose this song for you...I hope that you approve!"
The Orchestra started and immediately with all the grace Joon seemed to have been hiding somewhere, I found myself dancing to 'Heartbeat' in the arms of none other than Dimples himself! As he twirls me around the floor it's like words were unnecessary, we just spoke with our eyes. Listening to Heartbeat and feeling my own quicken, not because of the dancing... but because of how everyone seemed to have melted away and it was just him and I dancing. The intense eye contact was only broken whenever I stole glimpses of his lips... the song was coming to an end all too quickly when he lead me into a graceful dip... only then did I realize he had lost some kind of fight within himself and his arms slid around my waist as I straightened up and as if in slow motion...his lips met mine. How to describe a kiss so perfect... trying to memorize each movement of his lips as they caressed mine.
*cough* *cough*
'Ok who do I have to kill for interrupting us' I thought in a daze and I could feel Joon smile right before he quickly stepped away and the room rushed back into focus!
"Hyung!" Joon greeted Jin warmly and with his friendly smile he gave only to those closest to him!
"Joon! I apologize but as Hyung I claim the next dance."
Though he said it warmly, his gaze was intense. For the first time I truly took in the man in front of me... no article ever written or writer known to man could have found the words, nor camera ever captured the true AWE of what it's like to stand in the presence of this man and his ageless beauty.
"Of course hyung!"
Joon said as I was now being handed off once again, but this time... this felt more intense and I was NOT going to complain! 'How can he be this handsome?' All of the sudden I could feel me getting nervous... Jin smiled. Seriously?? Is like, telepathy a real thing with BTS members??? With that thought making me even more nervous than I already was, Jin tilted his head towards me and said..
"Don't be so nervous, it's just me!"
"Ya...heh...just World Wide Handsome" I said softly! As I just noticed...he was leading me off the dance floor? He smiled and looking at me in all seriousness and said..
"Then it's fitting that I have the worlds most beautiful woman on my arm, is it not?"
We had walked out to a private terrace but close enough to hear the Orchestra well.
"I chose this song for you..." he looked shy all of the sudden while looking down.
"As I feel this night is made for you..." He looked up and our eyes met. A look in his eyes I had never seen before... and I could tell he was speaking in earnest. "As I myself... feel may have been made for you."
Before I could utter a single word, the music started and I instantly recognized the song yet again... 'Yours'. My heart skipped...or stopped! One of the two!! And he swooped me into his arms with the most perfect movement that had my hands grasping his broad strong shoulders. I quickly loosened it and tried not to focus on those lips... the lips that had blown me a thousand kisses through cameras and photos! Now mere inches away... those lips that haunted me with their perfection. How I secretly had longed for them... and though I tried to keep from thinking it, I couldn't help myself. 'Am I really going to know what it's like to be kissed by those lips? By Kim Seokjin? Am I really this lucky?'
"If you would allow me...would you come away with me this night? I don't want to share you..." with hunger in his eyes, and for once, not food...my grasp on his shoulders tightened and I smiled. I knew I didn't have to say it, he already knew. But I wanted...needed him to hear these words:
"I'm yours."~The End~
Or is it...😏
