*3 years later*
•••
I wasn't able to find hoseok that night.
I wondered if he's eating well, i wondered if he has a place to stay, i wondered if he's doing okay.. It's been 3 years now. I didn't apply for a university after i graduated from high school even though i was given scholarships and many other opportunities. Instead i took up various part time jobs from time to time in Seoul. I see no point in furthering my studies.
I was lost in life.
I didn't have any goals or dreams.
I had a dream, but i know it will never come true..
" Medium sized iced americano pls " a customer ordered.
I am currently working as a part time cafe barista in a cafe at Gangnam. Things weren't going very well cuz i've been making mistakes frequently. Sometimes i would prepare the wrong drinks, giving the wrong change, or even spilling it on the customers accidentally. I won't lie. I was thinking about hoseok all the time. Sighhh i missed him. It was about time to close the cafe so i was doing some cleaning before i leave. Just then the owner of the cafe Mr Yoo approached me and said we should have a talk.
" Look (y/n), you are a nice and hardworking girl. But many customers are complaining about you. In addition to the lack of profit earned, i don't think we can have you here anymore.. "
" Ahh, it's okay i understand.. Thank you for looking after me these few months Mr Yoo. "
" Thank you for understanding (y/n).. Here's this month's salary and i added a little bit more for you. Finish what you're doing and you can head home already. It's getting late. "
" okay "

Mr Yoo left after handing me my pay and i was all alone in the cafe. Looks like i just lost my job haha. I am okay though. I'm expecting this day to come anyway. I sat on the couch and closed my eyes and listened to the music play on the radio.
" Don't know how to live
Don't know how to fly
Don't know how to decide
Don't know how to dream now

What's your dream? What's your dream?
Is that it? Is that it?

To all the youngsters without dreams

We are BTS "
The song lyrics hit me hard. They were so relatable. BTS? Damnn they are so good with hip hop. I thought. It was getting late so i packed up and headed home.

Home? Nahh just a small apartment i rented in Gangnam. I strolled through the streets and came across a notice pasted on the wall of a building. I noticed it because of the huge logo BTS. It seems that they were hiring a manager. A manager..
*back then in second grade*
" hoseok ah, what you do want to be when you grow up? " i asked.
" I love dancing. But i wanna sing and rap too. I want to be an idol! An idol that is well loved by everyone! " hoseok replied.
" If you are going to be an idol, then i will be your manager! " i told hoseok.
" Promise? "
" Promise. "
I smiled a little remembering what we dreamt to be when hoseok and i were still little.
" Manager.. I could try :) "
I walked into the building and told them i was going to apply for a manager's position for BTS. They are pretty awesome, i bet this would be interesting. They asked for my resume. Oh i carry it with me all the time since i change jobs frequently.
" Hello Miss (y/n), my name is Bang Shin Hyuk, but you can call me Bang pd-nim. You have excellent grades and and a lot of job experiences. What makes you want to become a manager? " Bang pd-nim asked.
I hesitated a little and answered,
" It's my dream. "
" Very well then. You are hired. Here's a brief profile of the BTS members and the things you need to know abour being a manager, please take a look at it. Since one of our managers are overseas, we need you to start work as soon as possible starting from tomorrow. The boys are on level 5 practicing if you want to meet them today. "
Bang pd-nim then briefly introduced me to the staffs in the building so i won't be misunderstood as a staker or irrelevant stranger roaming around in the building.

I sat down near the lobby to go through the members's profile. I wanted to know the names of these awesome artists who caught my attention with their amazing voices.
" Rapmonster, Kim Namjoon.. Kim Seok Jin.. Min Yoongi, Suga? You mean like sugar?? J-hope, Jung Ho- WAIT WHAT? JUNG HOSEOK?"
I covered my mouth because i was too loud. This. Cannot. Be. Happening. Hoseok? Is this the hoseok i know?? Has he really became an idol already? I was confused.
But happy at the same time.
I need to see hoseok.
I need to confirm if it's really him like right now.
I ran up the stairs and made my way to the practice room. But nobody was there. " Hoseok?! Hoseok?! "
I cried out his name.
There was no answer.

Hoseok's pov
I couldn't find (y/n) that night. I hope she is doing okay. I've always wanted to perform infront of many people and it's my dream. I signed up for an audition at Bighit entertainment and i got in. I practiced hard each day thinking about (y/n).
If i became famous, if i become an idol,
she would come back.
She promised to be my manager.
(y/n) never lies.
It has been 3 years now. My group BTS has debuted last month and we're gaining popularity quite fast. But (y/n) isn't here.. I've became an idol i promised to be. Where are you now (y/n)..?
Today was just like any other day. I had dinner with my boys but i decided to head back earlier to practice.
You wouldn't believe who i saw..
It's her.
It's (y/n)
She came.
Even though she was back facing me,
I recognise her :)

" What took you so long..? "
A voice said.
It's him.
Even though i was back facing him,
I recognise his voice :)
I turned around to look at him.
Jung Hoseok.
Right there, standing infront of me.
He flashed me a huge smile.
I did the same.
" Yea, what took me so long :) "
Hoseok opened his arms and i ran into it, hugging him tightly.
His smell.
His touch.
How much i've missed it.
" I love you (y/n). I mean it. And i missed you so much. When you left that night i realised how important you are to me. I'm such a fool to take you for granted. I'm so sorry (y/n).. Please don't ever leave me again.. I love you.. I love you.. "
" Yah pabo.. I love you too.. "
How long have i waited to hear these words.
To hear him say that he loves me.
He hugs me so tight,
I almost couldn't breathe.
But i feel safe.
Nothing's gonna tear us apart now.

He became an idol.
I really did became his manager.
Our dreams came true.
Because we worked for it.
