My heart felt heavy as I dragged myself towards the backstage of the hall.

Why do I feel so anxious about meeting NamJoon? My shoes stomped heavily on the stairs and I cleared the curtain away.

"You're here." NamJoon smiled  when he sees me. There was something unusual about his dimpled smile but I played along with the unsteady mood.

He grasp my hand and led me forward to the corner where a mat was placed with two bentos, and two canned juice. Our lunch. He sat me down and went over to the projector, a scene appeared on the creamy wall, our favorite movie.

He grins and sat beside me, offering the bento and a pair of chopsticks to me. The scar on his left eyebrow reminded me of the accident he had when he insisted on running over to the store to buy the present that I had requested.

He digs in his food happily as he watches the movie.

"Your mother would be upset if she knew we are together right now." That's right, ever since the accident that happened four months ago, we stopped meeting each other. 

His hands stopped and his attention fell on to the red checkered mat. He smiled briefly and looked towards me.

Ah...these eyes...how I've missed them.

"The movie is starting, let's eat." His deep voice echoed throughout the empty stage.

I forced a smile and went along with what he had arranged for us. The movie was hilarious, it's been so long since I laughed so hard. But my heart was crying. Silently crying. Secretly crying.

Finally the movie ends and NamJoon's laughter rings in my ears.

"Cheers." He lifted his canned juice to me and bit his lips.

"Cheers." I returned the gesture and grinned widely.

The sour sweet flavor of the juice spreads and I swallowed slowly. I steal a glance towards NamJoon and he was staring off to a distance.

"I will miss this juice." He sighs sadly.

"You could always buy them again from the vending machine." I suggested.

An awkward silence dawns on us as he sips the juice again from the can.

He snickered a laugh before saying, "I can't. I'm returning to Korea tonight."

I stared at him in disbelief as his manly tears trickled down his cheeks.

Back to reality

The sun shines brightly down as I hang the laundry on the rooftop. Irene got out of the house with a huge yawn as she stretches by the door.

"I'm going. Remember to feed Chocolate dog food." She reminds disrespectfully.

"Yes...Mistress..." I replied sarcastically and bowed to her easily.

The day passes by like no other and soon enough, Irene was back home in the evening. She places a ticket and an album on the table when we are having dinner.

"What's this?" I hold up the ticket and scanned on the wording written on it.

BTS Fansign Event Held Tomorrow Night At 6pm.

"This..." I stared at her with my mouth agaped.

"My best friend won a ticket for BTS's fansign event but sadly she was not interested in them. It cost me a lot to get this ticket and album so you better not waste my efforts!!" Irene exclaimed exaggeratingly as she puts in a huge chunk of rice in to her mouth.

"Why do I go so far for her even when she just moved in last month ago?" I heard her mumbled to herself and a smile spreaded across my face.

"Gomawo."
