With one hand holding on to my chair and the other hand struggling to wear my heels on my right foot, I didn't realize that 30 minutes has already passed since Clyn called.

She said she'll be hear in 10 minutes so I guess she took her time as well in prepping up since she's 20 minutes late. Can't blame her though, a girl somehow has to try to look good in front of her idol. Clyn is a fan of BTS too. But unlike me, she's a new one. I remember giving her a nickname "newborn" to declare her as an official ARMY. Yep, she despised the name.

I smile at the memory as I dab a small amount of blush on my cheeks to put some color on my face.  While doing so, I hear a familiar honk. I took that as a signal that my dear friend has finally arrived. With lightning speed, I took my bag and went down.

"Eomma~ Where are you? I'm about to go." I shout as soon as I landed down the stairs.

"I'm here! Where are you going?"

I enter the kitchen and find my mother cooking dinner. I smell the palatable chicken soup that she's cooking as soon as I enter the kitchen.  When she saw me,  she dropped the ladle and eyed me up and down.

"Mhmm.. Now this is interesting. Where are you off to?" She gestured to my outfit with her forefinger as she put her left hand on her waist.

I gave her my best charming smile as I embrace her. 

"Well..." I started

"...Clyn and I are going to a hotel bar that her mom is working at. She actually gave us a tip and told us that BTS is there. You know I can't miss this right?" I explained to her while still holding on to her arm

"Is that the group of guys that are in your posters? The one sticked all over your room?" Mom asked in confirmation with her eyes filled with confusion

"Yes. The gods."

"It's not like I can stop you right?" she patted my head and grabbed the ladle once again to get back to cooking dinner.

"Nope. You can't." I snickered as I gave her a peck on the cheek

"Just be safe." I took that as a sign and start to walk away when she gave me a final reminder.

"And young lady, don't drink too much. Alright?"

"Ne eomma~ Gotta go!!" I blow her a kiss goodbye and went out of the door.

I see Clyn's car waiting in front of our porch and as soon as she saw me she gave me a honk. I immediately entered the front seat.

"Dear God. I know that dress was the bomb when I first saw that hanging. But girl, you are outstanding right now."

I smiled at her and return her compliment when I see her wearing her glittery black dress. She looks like a Hollywood actress who's about to receive an award.

"This dress is too much for me though. I feel like it's my second skin, which is not good. Because I literally feel like I'm naked." I told her honestly as I pinch my dress to try and make some room between the material and my skin.

"Don't overthink it. You are beautiful. Now, let's go. My mom said that they just got in their private lounge."

I nodded at her information and said. "Drive."

It didn't take us more than 15 minutes to arrive at the Castle Hotel. We went out front to have the valet guy park our car. The guy seems to know Clyn because he called another hotel personnel to assist us.

"Aren't you a queen right now." I told her with a smirk as I bump her side on purpose. She only returned the smirk and winked at me.

The hotel personnel seems to know the main reason why we're here because he assisted us directly to the hotel bar. After a short flight of stairs, we are met with a door with intricate designs made of gold and bronze.

I suddenly feel like I'm in a movie where I'm acting as a royalty. This all felt so legit that I'm not even sure if this is really true. The man who assisted us gave a knowing nod to the guard outside the door.

He opened the massive door and the loud music greeted our entrance. The room is so dim that it took me a minute to adjust to the lighting. I look back to see the guard and the hotel personnel closing the door. I don't know if I imagined it but I think I saw a smirk on their faces.

I was brought back from my trance when Clyn nugged my side. I didn't realize that she's saying something until I look at her. I moved my ear closer.

"My mom's not answering her phone so maybe she's already working. But she left me a message instructing us to go upstairs and proceed to the second lounge."  Clyn shouted through the loud music.

"Yeah sure. Let's go. Maybe she'll meet us there."

We pass people wearing classy suits and dresses that probably costs more than my life and my reincarnation combined. I therefore claim that I am surrou ded by people that are way out of my league.  Looking at their clothes and the way they hold their champagne glasses already screams RICH to me.

I try my best not to get intimidated and focus my gaze on Clyn who's leading the way to our lounge. I hold on tight as we make our way up to the second floor, afraid of landing face first on the posh ground.

My heart is beating so fast at the mere thought that I am in the same place as BTS. I squint my eyes and try to find some godly handsome faces.

My search was abruptly stopped when I bumped my face at the back of Clyn's head. I hold on to my aching nose and glare at my friend.

She didn't even pay me a single glance. I realized that we're in our lounge already so I immediately sat down on the red leather couch. I noticed that Clyn is still standing so I nudged her to sit down but she did not even move a single muscle.

"Yah. Sit down. This couch is amazing, I mean look at this." I nudge the hem of her dress as I look around the lounge and gesture to the couch.

In the midst of appreciating the glorious leather couch, I did a double take at the lounge in front of us. And in that moment, I think that I just wet myself.

"Well fùck."
