AWAKE - kim seok jin

Chapter 27: Fanmeet

"What is up with you?" Seolhyun asked me with a questioning look plastered on her face. "Why are you suddenly asking me to come along to Bangtan's fanmeet?"

"I don't want to be lonely."

"What about Seojun? Jaehyun?"

"Seojun has work, Jaehyun has his evening practice. Plus, they're boys. They usually get bored fast when it comes to things like this," I pouted. "Please?"

"..Fine." she sighed in defeat. "But you're buying me the ticket."

"Of course," I grinned as my hands reached out to the laptop on the bed, searching for the website.

"Why?"

"What do you mean, why?"

"Why do you suddenly want to go to their fanmeet?"

"Can't I?"

She sighed. "It's just you weren't interested in things like these before." she told. "I wonder what made you become interested all of a sudden."

I gave her a look before I continued doing my stuff on the laptop. I let out a hard sigh, and Seolhyun gave me a weird glare.

Oh darling, I'm dying to tell you that it's because of Jin.

I wanted to meet him. I wanted to know if he still remembered me. I wanted to know if he still remembered all of our memories together, and every traces of me. I wanted to know that all I had been through wasn't just a dream.

I wanted to meet him, because I know it's real.

We did meet. We did know each other.

Even if it was.. in another life.

"It's.. nothing." I coughed. "I'm just bored at home. I wonder when I can start working again. As a.. what is it again?" I asked, my eyes stuck to the screen.

"A stylist."

"Ah yes, a stylist.." I mumbled. "..As a stylist."

Not a waitress, I reminded myself again.

After a few clicks here and there on the website, I printed out the tickets and grinned proudly.

"I bought them!" I exclaimed, wavering the tickets before Seolhyun's face.

"When is the fanmeet again?" she asked me.

"This weekend." I answered, biting my lip.

SUNDAY - FANMEET

"Bangtan! Bangtan! Bangtan!" the sea of fangirls cheered excitedly. The group wasn't here yet, they were still backstage but these girls just couldn't help but to lose their shits.

"Areum, let's go to our zone!" Seolhyun shouted, grabbing my arm as the cheering kept getting louder.

We squished through the crowd and went to our zone, which was the most front and nearest to the stage.

"It's hot here," Seolhyun fanned herself. "Shouldn't have agreed to come with you!" she stuck out her tongue at me.
