Two Secrets

Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

"Thank you, Eonnie. I bought you some wine... because I suck ass and forgot to buy you a gift." Jiwon said as you arrived at some park.

"You don't have to thank me. I still owe you money. I think with what they are giving me in Jessie's company, I could start paying you after a couple of months." You said.

She smiled in a way that she seems to be hurt with what you said. "I didn't help you because I wanted something in return in the future. I want you to know that."

"I know. It's just that, I still feel bad that it's been a year since I've started working and I haven't paid you a dime for the money you've lent. — Hey is there a reason why you wanted to meet here?"

"You said over the phone you wanted to meet my boyfriend. I ask him to come here. He sort of cannot be seen in public with me."

"So that's why you let him pop your cherry! Finally someone who shares the same knack for hiding in the shadows as you!"

"Jesus Christ, Eonnie... please... don't..." her face is getting red again.

Suddenly there was someone coming closer to us. Someone I recognized... and listened to for the past five years.

"Dickface! You're fucking late. I told you to be here on time. Eonnie has somewhere to go."

"Sorry... Jungkook borrowed Hyung's car. I've had to wait for him. I don't wanna puke on my way here." Taehyung said as he kissed Jiwon.

Kim Taehyung. One of the seven boys you've adored. The seven boys you only see in your monitor. Now, one of them. One of them is in front of you.

... and he's the boyfriend of your cousin.

KIM TAEHYUNG IS JIWON'S BOYFRIEND!!!! OH MY GOD!!! KIM TAEHYUNG IS JIWON'S BOYFRIEND!!!!

"Taehyung, this is Jaehee my cousin. Eonnie, this is Tae... my boyfriend." Jiwon beamed.

You stood there not being able to believe your luck. All the years in UK when you wanted to watch their concert but unable to.

Even when you got back to Korea a year ago, you still weren't able to attend since you have no money to buy a concert ticket. You almost sold your CD collection in order to pay for your father's hospital bills.

When you finally able to buy one, works comes in the way.

Tears come streaming from your face.

You let out a much needed deafening shriek.

"Eonnie? Eonnie what's wrong?" Jiwon said.

"I love Bangtan so much. You have no idea. I have to starve myself just so I could buy your albums. You guys are the reason why I was able to hold on for four years away from my family so I could finally find my dreams." You hugged Taehyung tightly.

"I love you guys so much." You said with tears still streaming from your face.

Taehyung gave you a nervous tap on your back. You realized what you've done.

Jiwon and Taehyung are still looking at your weirdly. Especially Jiwon who was frowning like she swallowed some bitter herbs.
