"Happy Birthday, V!"

Several of BigHit's staffs held a birthday celebration for Taehyung and invited fans to come over. Fansites came pampering him with Gucci products and took pictures of him but there's still something missing... like there's something different compared before but he just couldn't pin point.

Not until Yerin came in his sight across the room.

Taehyung was happy to see that Yerin made it to his home party, soon coming to an end. That is, it made his face enlighten a bit more as he tries to approach that girl along with a tall friend who he heard excused herself to take a photo with Jin. And while Sowon was gone, Taehyung makes his way through the cloud of faces to go approach Yerin.

Taehyung had no idea how he developed his feelings for this normal fervid fan, but everytime that familiar user and display name occupies the space on their twitter's notification panel when he tweets, he becomes as excited.

That user was fond of sending the cutest replies to him on his every post and that he couldn't log out their official twitter without seeing those replies not even plentier than 280 characters.

He couldn't follow her account using BTS' because ARMYs would question their ratio and why'd they accidentally follow a fan, so Taehyung made a private account without putting even an icon and followed her and only her. The stalking—adoring rather, began since then.

ARMY Selca Days came. Taehyung browsed the selcas using Bangtan's official account and his separate one the next. He checked Yerin's account and he just so happens to notice her new pinned tweet with a cheesy caption and her imitating Taehyung's poses for the monthly selca concept.

He felt his heart skip a beat. Struck by Yerin's charms, he clicked like and retweeted it, making his first and only post. He didn't mind at all. She isn't following the account so it probably wouldn't notify anyway.

The start of Taehyung's petty crush on a fan took place.

I mean, Yerin is really kind and all online or personally. Which probably made Taehyung potentially fall for. Until he sees her in events lately and her acts fit for his exact ideal type watered and fertilized his liking more.

It just... can't be anyway.

As Taehyung nearly sees Yerin as a girl, what if Yerin only sees Taehyung as an idol?

What if her love was just only of a fan?

What if her love for him wasn't genuine enough?

But still... that's where he's miserably mistaken.

"Hi." Yerin flinched when she saw Taehyung standing before her. "Yerin, right?"

Yerin jumped a little in shock. "Y-Yes..." She timidly replied, almost whispering. Taehyung could visibly see the disbelief drawn in her face that speaks her mind he could distinctly hear, "Why does he know my name?!"

"I, uh." Taehyung composed himself for a tiny while and held Yerin's hand, causing a huge ground that circuited from the two. Taehyung casually held Yerin's cheek to bring her ear next to his mouth. Slowly, Taehyung whispered.

"Come on, follow me."
