''Ring... Ring...'' You groaned and blindly lifted your hand to your beside table to turn off your alarm clock. Today's a Saturday, why does my alarm clock keep ringing? Just then, your phone rang. Bzz. Bzz. You picked it up and mumbled, "Hello?"
"LEE MINJOO! " Somebody shrieked into your ear. You jumped and was suddenly wide awake, "Tzuyu? What's wrong?"
"Did you really ask what's wrong? Today's BTS' concert! Have you forgotten? I've been waiting for you for the past 1 hour!" Oh jeez.. You had completely forgotten about the two BTS tickets you had won from a contest.
"Oh my god! Sorry, call you back later! " You rushed to your toilet to change into your planned outfit for the day and grabbed an apple for breakfast before rushing out the door.
By the time you got to the concert venue, you were panting and your forehead was slick with sweat. You could see Tzuyu outside seething with anger even from a mile away. "Are we... late? " As you panted with a hand on her shoulder. She clicked her tongue in annoyance. "They closed the doors already. I told them you were just a few minutes late but they didn't want to listen! How annoying... " Ahh, so that way why she was so angry. Not because of you.
"It's okay! I'll try to get us in..." You scooted up to the muscular security guard and asked, " Hiii... I have my tickets here-" You waved the tickets around. "But I woke up kind of late, and now I'm so sad that I can't get in... " you fake-pouted. Your tactic was to use aegyo to get into the concert venue. You nudged Tzuyu to get her to do the aegyo. After all, she's so beautiful, who would reject her?
She too, pouted and said, "Yeah! We're so sad..."
The security guard looked like he was about to give in when he said, " No. Rules are rules." You sighed and Tzuyu pouted for real this time.
Suddenly, you heard some people walking up behind you both and stopped. Tzuyu looked back and her eyes went as wide as saucers.
"M-m-injoo" Tzuyu whispered to you. "Yeah? " You casually responded. "Why do you look so afraid, I swear to god if it's just a lizard or some - "
"I'm pretty sure I'm not a lizard" You heard someone chuckle behind you. That voice sounds so familiar... You whirled around and gasped.
BTS, also known as Bangtan Boys, one of the most well known kpop boy groups in Seoul, was standing right before you.
Shocked, you stuttered, "H-hello! " as you bowed 90 degrees. Jeon Jungkook, the one to speak to you, said, " Lee Minjoo, right?"  You nodded, wondering how the heck he knows you.
"Meet me backstage later. Bring your friend too. " He told the security guard his orders and the security guard just grunted. " T-thank you! We will enjoy the concert! " as you bowed again.
Jungkook pulled you up by your waist, shocking you again. He leaned forward and whispered, hot breath on your ear, " Don't be so formal. You weren't like that last time. " He stood up and brushed past you, the rest if BTS behind him. V, aka Kim Taehyung, winked at you and followed Jungkook.
Tzuyu was just frozen in place. "Minjoo, did that just happen? "
"Well, yes apparently."
As you were walking in the concert venue ,Tzuyu was chatting excitedly in your ear. "Did you see how adorable Yoongi was? And what did Jungkook say to you? "
You shrugged. You yourself was trying to figure out what he meant. "He said that I didn't have to be so formal, and that I wasn't like that last time. " How would he know anyways?
Tzuyu gasped, " Oh my god, this is just like a kdrama! Childhood friend, turned into idol, falls in love, lives happily ever after!"
You giggled and hit her playfully, " Yah! What are you talking about? "
Soon after, the concert started, and being in the first row, you could see everything. You found yourself singing along with BTS, having a great time. There was one moment when Jungkook reached down to touch hand with the fans. He held yours a little longer before continuing along with the other fans. Tzuyu screamed in your ear, " He's into you! " You rolled your eyes. "Oh whatever Tzuyu, he just found out my name today. "
She raised an eyebrow and said, "If that's what you think."
The concert was over a few hours later and at the backstage, you waited in BTS'waiting room. It was crazy backstage, stylists, managers, sound technicians were running around. You whistled as you watched everyone whiz by. "Whew... that must be hard work"
"It is" you jumped at the voice that didn't belong to Tzuyu. "Ah! Hello! You wanted us to meet you backstage? We can't thank you enough to bring us inside. I woke up late today, I kind of forgot about it. Do I need to do some kind of work to repay you? " as your blabbered.
"You talk a lot. " Jungkook commented. He cocked his head at you, '' I'll think of the repayment. I just have a question, do you really not know who I am? "
You scratched your head. Is this some kind of quiz? " Jeon Jungkook, from BTS. You're 20 years old, you were originally from Busan? "
He nodded, "And you don't know me? "
"I do! I just told you "
BTS was looking between the both of you like a tennis match.
He sighed. " You're Lee Minjoo, age 20, from Busan, moved to Seoul at age 8 due to family reasons. Birthday May 6th, your best friend was Kookie when you were 7?"
You looked at him. "Excuse me? How do you know all that? And you know Kookie? He was so cute you know, I kind of forgot what his name was... " as you scratched your neck.
Jungkook looked dumbfounded. "I'm sorry, were you always this gullible?"
You threw him an irritated look. "Excuse me? I'm quite sharp for your information."
Just then, Taehyung stepped in. "Stop it, both of you! Minjoo, Jungkook is Kookie, your childhood best friend! "
"What? " you asked, not sure you heard properly.
"I'm your childhood best friend. " Jungkook looked you in the eye as he said it.
