july 6th 2023.

i was woken up by my loud alarm that i had set last night.

i slowly opened my eyes then started stretching in bed before shutting off my alarm. i sighed as i sat up on my bed then got up to go take a shower.

once i was done, i did my hair, makeup, and wore my outfit.

i was wearing a baby pink short sleeved crop top with ripped jeans. i decided to straighten my layered hair 'cause it looked better that way. i also wore my airforce shoes and along with a gold necklace and gold bracelets that my bestfriend had gotten me last year for my birthday.

after that, i left the hotel and took a taxi to the hybe building.

----

i tipped the taxi and left the car. i walked into the building and greeted the security gaurd. i went over to the scanner and scanned my card. the gates opened and i walked in.

i started looking around and was suprised on how huge this building was. my jaw was on the floor. i was filled with so much excitement. so many thoughts were running through my head.

i made my way to the elevator and pressed the floor that i needed to go to. as i was waiting to get to the floor, i started scrolling on my phone. right when the elevator doors opened, i walked out.

suddenly, i crashed into someone.

i felt drinks spill all over my outfit which made me gasp loud. i backed up from the person and stared down on my shirt.

great. just great.

"oh my god, i am so sorry." i heard them say.

"no, no, no. it's okay." i chuckled nervously as i looked up at whoever it was.

it was a guy.

he was tall. well, taller than me atleast. he was wearing a gray hoodie that had a white shirt peaking out from the bottom along with ripped jeans. he had black, shiny hair, dark brown sparkling eyes and pink lips.

he looked.. familiar.

he panicked as he started looking around for tissues before he spotted a box of them at one of the couches in the lounge area. "one second,"

he ran to grab it and quickly came back. he handed it to me and i grabbed some.

i started wiping the stain on my crop top aggressively, hoping it would come off. god, i cannot meet my members like this.

i sighed when i realized it wasn't coming off. from the corner of my eye, i could see him take off his hoodie. i looked up and was about to say something but stopped when i saw his shirt lift up with his hoodie, which revealed his stomach.

"here." he handed me his hoodie as he adjusted his shirt. "it'll cover it up."

"what? no! it's seriously okay, i can go home and change, no big dea-"

he cut me off and spoke, "no, please. take it, its okay. i have plenty of hoodies." he chuckled softly. "plus, you look like you have somewhere important to be." he smiled. i hesitated for a moment. but then decided to take it.

i chuckled awkwardly. "thank you." i gave him a bow of respect.

"no problem." he chuckled and gave a bow of respect then walked away.

i walked into the dorm and found sunoo and jungwon in the living room. they both looked towards me then gave me a confused look.

"where's the drinks?" jungwon asked.

i sighed and walked over to the kitchen. "i spilt them all." i opened the fridge and looked for something to eat.

sunoo scoffed. "are you kidding?!"

"it wasn't my fault, i bumped into some girl while i was making my way to our dorm!" i immediately turned to them and defended myself.

"some girl? what do you mean some girl?" jungwon said.

"don't know. the drinks spilt all over her shirt. i gave her my hoodie to cover it up." i explained as i pulled out leftover pasta from the fridge.

"awe, cute." sunoo teased and chuckled.

"shut up." i scoffed.

"she looked familiar though. i feel like i've met her before." i placed the pasta in the microwave and started heating it up.

"maybe she's your lover from a past life." sunoo continued to tease, i turned around and gave him a serious look, which made him stop laughing.

"oh yeah guys, jay made a reservation at 7pm tomorrow at this new barbecue place." jungwon said as he scrolled through his phone. "you guys coming?"

"i think i'll be able to make it." sunoo replied.

"yeah, me too." i said as i took out the pasta from the microwave.

i walked into the lounge that all my members were in.

"hey!" i said with a smile.

"hi!" they all said and stood up to greet me. we all gave eachother a bow of respect.

"dang, you're pretty late." one of the girls chuckled.

"stop, i had a drink literally spill all over my outfit. it was a crisis." i chuckled.

"stop what? are you okay? how did that even happen?!" one of the other girls laughed as she asked.

i laughed along with her then finally spoke. "okay, so i was walking into the building then i.."

we spent the whole day laughing and joking around. we all already got along and understood each other easily. we exchanged names and said a few things about ourselves. just overall enjoyed this day.

the day ended and i went back to my hotel. once i walked into my room, i removed my makeup and wore my pajamas.

i then sat down on my bed and sighed. today was a fun day but i was sure tired. i grabbed the remote that was on my nightstand and opened Netflix.

i started to hum softly while i was looking for something to watch, i looked over beside me and saw the gray hoodie. i then remembered that guy i met earlier today.

gosh, he looked so familiar. i feel like i've seen him before.

i chuckled and felt my face heating up as that moment kept replaying in my head. he was kinda cute.

i managed to snap myself out of it for a split second but didn't take long before chuckling and going crazy over that moment again.

i couldn't stop thinking about him for the rest of the night.
