I was sitting on my bed and painting on my wall. Music was blasting and i felt relaxed after a long time. I was swaying my head back and forth at the rithm of the music and the brush in my hands was lightly pressing against the wall to capture all the little details.
College was killing me and i didn't get to enjoy my life as much as i use to. But i guess that's what happens when you start growing up and taking care of your own life.
It was a weekend and fortunately i didn't have to study for anything. It was so rear that i had free time, that i almost forgot how to enjoy. And to enjoy myself, i usually paint or draw. And with music it makes it even better. I'm in my own world. The world that was made for me. The world for artistic souls.
I was painting beautiful faces of the members of BTS and i was just adding some finishing touches. I've been working on this for at least a year and i was so close to finishing my work of art.
And then the last stroke went up Taehyungs jaw...
And..FINISHED. I was finally done. After a year of my hard work and nonstop complaining to my best friend of how i'm never going to finish it, i finally painted all 7 members on my wall. I pushed my self off the bed, taking a look at the product from the far. It looked even better that way. You could capture their beautiful faces in one look across the wall next to my bed. I jumped around my room and knocked quiet a few things doing it. My room was very small and crowded. And it didn't help that i'm a clutz. But at the moment i didn't care what i will brake. I finally finished one of my biggest projects that i ever started. I hoped out off my room like a little bunny to find my roommate. She was lying across the couch, watching TV and stuffing her self with unhealthy food. I stood in front the TV for her to notice me. I felt a tingling sensation on my arm which was put behind my back and pressing against the TV. The static was making me itch so i removed my hands. Obviously annoyed, my best friend looked at me and gestured with her hand for me to step aside. But i didn't budge. I simply smiled and said: "It's done." She already knew what i was talking about, since it was a year of me crying in her arm about never succeeding. She quickly stood up and ran to my room and i ran after her smiling. When she saw the finishing product she screamed lightly. She cowered her mouth with one of her hands and went through her hair with the other one. She looked at me, slowly removing her arm from her face, revealing her wide opened mouth.
Me and my roommate were quiet similar. We both loved BTS, animals, kids and reading. When we first met i was wearing BTS hoodie and when she saw me she was sure we would be best friends. And she was right. We were unseperatable.
She hugged me and started jumping up and down with me in her hands. I couldn't quite keep up with her tempo so i just let her pull me up and down. When she finally let me out off her tight embrace she said: "Omo, you have to post this on twitter! It's amazing!" I violently shook my head. I didn't want that. I wasn't ready for people to see my work. I always had in mind that showing your art on social media was kind of bragging. And i hated bragging. "No i'm not gonna do that. It's not that good." I had to use an excuse. I wasn't going to explain her my feelings right now. She looked at me like i was crazy and she wasn't shy to tell me that: "Yah, are you crazy?! It's amazing! You have to post this. Come onn Arden, pleaseeeeeee!" She looked at me with puppy dog eyes so i had to turn away. If i'd look at her any longer she would probably convince me in to posting my work. Her puppy dog eyes always got me. The little spark in them just made me fell weak. Her hazel-green eyes always swayed me into doing something i would otherwise not do. Not that i wasn't dearing, i just sometimes didn't want to go jump in a pond full of ducks and people around it looking at us.
She grabbed my chin kinda harsh and turned my face towards hers. I closed my eyes shut. She took her free hand and tried to forcefully open my eyes with her long fingers. At first i was startled but then i started to laugh and trying to close my eyes while getting away from her. She was laughing while chasing me around the apartment. My heart was beating in my chest and i didn't actually know why i was running away from her. I had so much fun that i forgot about the whole argument about the post.
After a minute of her running behind me with her arms stretched in front of her, ready to open my eyes at any moment, i couldn't run anymore so i threw myself on the sofa and she landed next to me. We were both panting and laughing at the same time. She turned to face me with a serious yet loving and playful look and said: "Come on Arden. You have to post it. It's to good to not let other people see it." I sighed and defidedly said: "Fine. I'll post it. But you have to treat me ice cream." She got me. The second that i looked into her eyes there was a switch in my thoughts that just said YES. She quickly sat up and started jumping up and down on the sofa. "Yaaaayyyyy! Oh, i bet a lot of people will see it. And then they will share it and then you'll go on interviews and then you'll met BTS and you will become friends and.." I stoped her day dreaming by grabbing her arm and lightly pulling her down to sit next to me. "Aish Kira, calm down. None of that will ever happen. Not many people will see it. They won't share it. I'm not gonna go on any interviews. I'm not gonna met BTS and we won't become friends so just calm yourself down." I looked at her annoyed and she just smiled. She almost always smiled. Another similarity between me and her.
"Yeah yeah, we'll see. Come on, post it." I rolled my eyes, smiling and went to my room. I took a picture of my art with my phone and post it on twitter including some hashtags. "There. I posted it. And nothing's gonna happen so keep dreaming. Now how about that ice cream?" i said happily to Kira. She smiled and told me to get ready so i just put on some jeans and a crop top, took my phone and headed out with Kira.

The cafe where they sold ice cream wasn't that far from our apartment so we just walked there. It was night time but luckily it was very warm since it was almost summer. The moon was bright this night and the street lights lightened up the path we were walking on. When we arrived at the cafe we bought our ice cream and sat at the very back. There weren't many people since it was late. It was peaceful and i just enjoyed the silence. I was facing  the door so i could see pretty much the whole cafe. While i was happily licking my strawberry ice cream i noticed a guy. His black shinny hair and his wide shoulders reminded me off somebody but i just couldn't think of a person to give them this appearance. After a good minute of searching trough my memories Kira finally brought me back to reality. "Heyyy. Ardeeen. Wake up!" I snapped out off my search trough my thoughts and turned to look at her. "Sorry, it's just. That guys back looks very familiar" i said pointing to the guy who was now.. gone? "Wait where did he go? He was just there a few seconds ago." I was really confused and looking around if he's somewhere but i couldn't see him anymore. "Eh, you must've been imagining it" Kira said and i just shrugged it off. She's probably right. I imagine things a lot of times so this is not new. We ate our ice cream, payed the handsome bartender and headed back home. We were walking trough the park. The flowers were blooming and a few paddles fell to the ground making absolutely no noise. Suddenly my phone started buzzing. At first it was just a few times so i ignored it but then it was nonstop vibrating so i stoped and looked at it. It was all twitter notification. The little blue bird was filing my screen. I looked very confused so i unlocked my phone with my fingerprint. Kira, who was curious of why my phone is having a seizure, walked backwards to met me and looked at my phone. I opened the twitter app and got jungshook.
The post. It had 124 of likes and 96 retweets. And i saw them rising. I checked the people who were retweeting and saw that they were all mentioning BTS twitter account. After a few posts i went back to mine and it already reached 1.000 likes and 900 retweets. Kira started screaming out off joy but i just stood there in shock. I just couldn't believe this was really happening. My art got spred out. It was circling the twitter of BTS fandom. I checked my comments and there were a lot of amazing people saying nice things. I didn't know if this was only a dream. It just wasn't real. Well, the bubbling felling in my stomach was. Kira was jumping up and down and kept repeating: "I told you sooo!" I started smiling like crazy. I didn't even think i would get 10 likes. But 1.000. Well now it was already 1.843. Kira hugged me still jumping and i was jumping with her. The few people in the park were watching us like we were mentally disabled but we were just happy. Happy that i finally succeeded something this huge.
The adrenalin was going trough my body and i didn't even realise i was crying. Kira took my hands in hers and looked at me saying: "Ohh Arden, it's okay." I smiled trough my watery eyes and wiped the tears away. She grabbed my hand and started walking. I put the phone in my back pocked and followed her. She was talking to me but i didn't listen to her. I was in my thoughts again. Thinking of tommorow. Thinking if it will keep going. Maybe it is all a dream and i will wake up to that one like which is from Kira. Or maybe my twitter will be blown up by likes and retweets.
A cold breeze went trough my hair and brushed my bare skin making me shiver. We were already at our doorstep so Kira unlocked the door for us. I threw my self on the sofa, looking at the ceiling still smiling. Kira plopped next to me with a remote in her hands and asked: "Wanna watch some kdramas?" "Oh omg yessss" i replied happily.
We changed into our onesies and i prepared some popcorn while Kira put on my favourite kdrama: Hwarang. We grabbed some blankets and laid on the sofa facing the TV. I loved nights like that. Just being with my best friend and having some fun. This were the nights that i lived for.
