Am I Dreaming?

Chapter 26 ✔️

"Ollie?..."

Hoseok spoke in a soft voice, looking at me like I was a bloody ghost.

Everyone's eyes bulge out, especially Charlie's. "W-wait a minute— wait a minute— wait a minute..." She shook her head. The expression on her face was completely baffled, "Uh— have you met before?"

BTS tensed up and stay silent, not sure if they should say anything.

"I knew this day would've come sooner or later. Kinda hoping it would have been later or even better never..."

I sigh, "Uh..yeah," letting out a humorless laugh. "Remember my exchange student friend, back in high school, that I told you about? You know, the one I was really close with?"

She was still extremely confused, then it hit her, "You mean, the guy you fell in love with?"

The boys watched us blankly, since we spoke in English, having no idea what we were saying. Except Namjoon and Hoseok, who's eyes widened when she said that.

"Y-yeah, that one." I blush, lightly scratch my neck, embarrassed.

It looked like Charlie's eyes could pop out of her head. She slowly points to BTS, and they all point toward Hoseok. Her mouth drops, "You mean to tell me that you went out with J-hope?" I lightly nod with a guilty, awkward smile. There was a long pause, "And when were you planning to tell me this?!"

My stomach turned a little, "I remember hearing those words..."

"Um...ha, surprise?" She rolls her eyes, and shook her head in disbelief. "I told you how it ended," I mutter sharply, "remember?"

"Oh, yeah." She lightly gasped, "Shit! That's why you were trying to get out of coming tonight wasn't it?" I nod.

"Aww chica," she assured, "you should have told me."

I let out a large laugh, "After the way you acted? Oh yeah, you're right," I said sarcastically, "my bad." Charlie elbows my side. "Ow," I hiss. "Ok-ok, fine, maybe I over reacted a little—"

"A little?"

"Well, this is huge!" She sighs. I notice she keeps looking back at something, nervously? I'm not sure. "What?" I mouth at her. She nods over, and I slowly look to what she was hinting. My eyes immediately met Hoseok's; I quickly look away.

The room was dead silent. Everyone's gaze shooting between the two of us. V suddenly chimes in, "Hello, Libby-ssi!" Pulling me into a death squeezing hug, "We missed you!"

This is so Taehyung, I missed him—I missed them all. One by one the rest of the boys join in greeting me with hugs, waves, and hi-fives. I may not have wanted to come tonight and see the guys, especially not Hoseok, but I'm so glad I did. I notice Charlie still standing by the door, not sure what to do. I skip over to her and drag her towards the others. "Guys, I'd like you to meet someone," I sang, leading their attention on us. "This is my best friend, and your contest winner, Charlie."

"And Charlie, this is BTS." I push her towards them, and she blushed deeply with a big cheeky smile on her face. "She's a really big fan," I softly spoke to RM, who let out a huge grin showing off his dimples. They all greet and talk to her, thanking her for supporting the group.
