Am I Dreaming?

Chapter 1 ✔️

**the picture above gives idea and is mine**

As I stepped out of my dorm, I took in a deep breath of fresh air and admired my new surroundings. It's a beautiful day out, near the end of May, you can tell summer is approaching. I've only been in South Korea for about two weeks now. I'm taking a summer arts program in Seoul for school, plus I needed some time away from my family.

Dad and I have been fighting a lot about college, and what I'm going to do with my life. I want to be an animator, it's been my dream since I was little. As much as he loves art and animation like I do, dad doesn't believe someone can have a career or make a real living as an artist. Its just a hobby.

I just need to clear my head.

So I decided to go down to the Han River to get some inspiration and work on a few sketches for my next critique. It was such a lovely morning, maybe I'll even throw in a walk in the park and actually do some exercise—not! 

The sky is clear and a crisp shade of blue, with fluffy white clouds scattered as far as I can see. A slight breeze goes by ruffling the trees, that are so lush with such rich colors and—
**RING! RING!** **RING! RING!**

I lose my train of thought...

I look at my phone, and when Hoseok's face pops up on the screen butterflies start to form in my stomach. This will have been the first time I've talked to him since I came to Seoul. Even from a simple phone call my heart starts to flutter. Wow I'm pathetic...

I quickly calm myself down and answer the phone. "Greetings," I act uninterested. "Ollie!!" He shouts with his signature, J-hope screech, I hear the happiness in his tone. Immediately, my little act breaks and I burst out laughing, "Hi, Hobi!" I giggled, "What's up? How are you? How's the group? Are you guys—"

"Whoa, whoa..," he interrupts me. "Aigoo, calm down. What are you, my eomma?" I can hear the smirk in his voice. "Well with you dorks, I'd say so yeah," I tease. Before he can give a comeback, I hear a bunch of shouts, in Korean of course, and laughter in the background. 

"Yah! Hyung, where'd you go?" someone shouted, I think Jungkook. "Yeah, we still had another ten minutes of practice left," somebody else complains.

That caught my attention. "You skipped out early from practice?" I scoffed. "You understood them?" Hoseok asks surprised, "Omo, you've really been working on your Korean—"

"Stop trying to change the subject Hobi, this is serious," I snap, "but thank you, I've been practicing."

"It's no big deal," he groaned. "We were just going over some dance routines, I got—"

"Ohhhh, are you talking to your jagiya?" Jimin chimes in. "Yah! Shut up!" Hoseok snapped at him. I hear shouting, some ruffled up noises, and sudden footsteps. It sounds like he's chasing Jimin.

"Is that Ollie?" asked Rap Monster, "Hey!" he shouts. Now the rest of BTS start to cut in. I smack my forehead and look down at my feet, snickering to myself, "You guys are such dorks."

"Oh! Tell her I said hi!" Jin cheerfully calls. "Annyeong!" I hear V in the back giggling. I can't help but laugh while listening to these goofballs. "Hyung, did you tell her—did you tell her yet?" He asked excitedly, *smack* "Ouch!"

"Yah! Quiet down, pabo!" Rap Monster shushes V, "You're going to ruin the surprise."

*shhh* *SHHHHH!* *shhhh*

"I swear, I am going to kill you both as soon as I get off this phone!" I hear Hoseok hiss.

Wow, these guys are not very good at "being quiet."

I was only a block away from the Han River by now, but hearing this stopped me in my tracks—no longer interested in my sketching assignment anymore. "Tell me what? What is it?" I'm washed over by a wave of curiosity, "Hobi, what's going on?" I anxiously ask, feeling excited and desperately wondering what the "special news" was.

I'm terrible when it comes to secrets. I can keep them really well, but when you mention one in front of me and refuse to tell...I go nuts with curiosity. So yeah, I'm nosey.

There was a pause, all I could hear were some slight ruffled noises, more "shushing", and muffled up laughter and snicking in the back. "Well it was supposed to be a surprise, but I guess you're worthy enough to tell now," he spoke with a snobby-like voice.

"Tell me what?" I repeat, starting to get impatient for they were taking way too long to get to the point. "This better be good."

"Well..." his voice trails off causing a dramatic pause. "Hobi—" I start to whine. "We got a day off!" He cries eagerly. I paused for a moment being taken back.

"O-oh?" I lightly stammer. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy for them; they've been working so hard lately, but was the surprise really just to rub in my face that you got a small vacation while I have class?

"Yeah, Bang PD-nim gave us a weekend off!" Hoseok said, "Well that's great Hobi! You guys really deserve it!" I reply with way too much happiness in my voice.

"And you're coming with us!" He adds with excitement.

Wasn't expecting that.
