I stopped at the door of the hall, pausing to just take a breath. Smoothing my hair down, I pushed open the big door, expecting cheering and clapping... Instead there were no more fans, completely empty of them. A few staff members were sweeping the floor and picking up any rubbish or dropped belongings, and moving chairs away. My heart sank to the floor and beyond, I was ready to scream... Until Beth tapped my shoulder and whispered, "Look!"

At the front of the large hall, the boys were just getting out of their chairs, standing up from their signing table and stretching, talking loudly to one another - they hadn't noticed us. Yet! I grabbed Beth and we both tentatively stepped forward, to the people we had come all the way here to see.

"Excuse me girls, the fan signing is over, you are not allowed to come in here anymore, please leave the hall," a caretaker announced, attempting to herd us out of the area, but of course without any luck - we just sidestepped him and ran, stumbling to the front and halting in front of the 7 slightly amused males who were standing there.

Just stay cool, I told myself sternly, but I couldn't help staring at them in awe, looking at them in turn, taking in their appearances and bewildered yet content looks. Noticing Beth in the corner of my eye, I could see she was in the exact same position, and her eyes were focused on V.

"Hey, can we help you?" Rapmonster spoke first, flashing a big smile and coming closer. All that was going around my mind was 'we are standing in front of the boys. And Rapmon is talking to us!'
"Err... Ah..." I stuttered, Good Start I chided myself, before restarting. Plastering a bright smile on my face and running my fingers through my hair, I introduced us.
"Hey! My name is Sam, this is my friend Beth..." I explained the story behind how we were mistakenly taken away from the queue and how it resulting in us missing the performance and signing. Surprisingly, I managed to keep my calm, and Beth too had stopped giggling and was pitching in to the story. After we'd finished, the boys spoke.
"That doesn't sound great, we're sorry to hear that," Jin replied, and I took this opportunity to get a better look at him. He really was handsome; he was the classic good looking guy, yet able to pull off both the hot look as well as the cute look. I once again broke out into a grin and internally fangirled; OMG BTS were talking to us!
"Well, seeing as you're here now, do you have anything you want us to sign?" Jimin asked, putting him arms round us in a friendly manner and gently pushing us towards the table where the members had re-taken their seats and were smiling up at us, pens at the ready. Jimin also returned to his seat, and Beth started at one end of the table and I from the the other, meaning I was first speaking to Jimin. I couldn't help noticing how beautiful his smile was; and how his face lit up with happiness when he was speaking. He was someone who I never wanted to see frown, he was just too good of a person.
Next was J-Hope, who high-fived me first and foremost before going on to add his signature to the CD. His bubbly personality and big smile make me chuckle and I knew it wouldn't get boring with someone like him around.
Third was Jin, followed by Suga. Suga. I had a soft spot for him, there was just something about him, I didn't quite know what it was but I was drawn to him. His casual and easy going nature, or his laid back attitude, or his good looks maybe. He looked up at me and grinned, saying a few words before I had to move on.
The sweet, adorable V was after, with his signature smile that could light up a room and cheer everyone up. He really was so cute and funny, why is everyone is this group so good looking? Not that I'm complaining!
The penultimate member was Rapmon, whose charm and politeness was as genuine as it was on screen, filling my heart with satisfaction - these boys were everything they were made out to be, nothing false about them.
And lastly...I just stared at the boy who was waving hello and chatting amiably. Jungkook... Utter perfection. Even more than on the screen. My bias. I couldn't believe this was happening; he was finally here in flesh, in front of me. Our eyes met and I couldn't help but notice the twinkle in his eyes, the sparkle which made me fall hard for him all over again.
"Hello?" Jungkook laughed, waving his hand in my face, making me flinch and bring me back to reality. "Jungkook, sorry just thinking! Thank you, " I gave him the best smile I could muster and took back the CD which he was holding out to me. Beth had also finished the signing of her album, and was talking to V whilst waiting for me to finish.
"Hey Rapmon-hyung, seeing as they missed our performance this time, why don't we sing them a song or two right now? We have some time still?" Jimin suggested, to which Beth and I jumped in excitement. "Oh please, yes! That would be great!" They smiled at each other, and after a very brief discussion and agreement on the song choices, they arranged themselves in formation and began.

The energy packed show of Fun Boys, I Need U and Dope left Beth and I speechless, clapping and cheering for their hard work... And it sounded amazing live! Their moves were flawless, and their unique voices were hitting every note. It was something to watch them perform in their music videos, but live was something else entirely!

"Bangtan! It's time to go, quick get ready and gather your things," a voice shouted from the backstage, presumably a manager of some sort. My smile wavered; I didn't want to leave them, not when I was so close. But, in the end of course this is what happens, so I forced myself not to cry and to keep smiling.
"It was lovely meeting you! Thank you for coming, and for your support! Keep loving us!" They greeted us farewell as one by one they went to the back rooms to get ready to leave. Beth suddenly threw her arms around V and gave him a tight hug, which he was surprised with but returned with his huge smile showing. I followed suit, only this time for Jungkook, who also had a pleasantly surprised look on his face, but didn't push me away. I let go, embarrassed and looked down to the floor, and he just smiled before turning and exiting to his hyungs. Beth and I knew it was our cue to leave, so with heavy hearts we left the hall and the venue, all the while wishing we could rewind and meet them again and again.
