Who are you?

Chapter 1

Julia's POV 💜

"I'm so bored", Anna said.
"Don't worry! It will all be over in a few minutes", I say to Anna.

We are in our last subject and it seems like it's taking forever.

BBRRIIIINNNGGG!!

"Bye! I'm gonna go home now!"
"Bye Anna! If you want, you can come to the mall with me."

Anna pretends to think about it but I already know her answer.

"Sure! I'll just put some of my things in my locker and text my parents."
"Oh right! I'll go with you because I need to put my things in my locker too."

We walk towards our lockers which is right beside each other but is at the far end of the hall. Just walking towards there was tiring because the hallway was sooo looonnngggg.

"FINALLY!! We made it!" I say smiling.
"HHAHAHA wow we just got to our lockers and your already so happy." Anna says smiling along.

Suddenly, people started to group in the middle of the hallway blocking our path. uuuggghhh we're already so close to our lockers, I think, can't they wait next time?

We still had to wait for them to leave just to be able to get to our lockers because our lockers were blocked.

I open my locker and I look at it in shock.

"WHAT?!"

Anna looks at me with concern and confusion. "Why? What's wrong?"

"The bag of gifts my parents gave me are gone!!" I say with tears in my eyes.

Only my friends knew how important those gifts were to me. My parents gave it to me days before they passed away and it was my only physical memory left of them.

"Maybe it fell when you were getting your things this morning?" she asks, full of concern.
"I doubt it 'cause that bag was huge and it's very hard to miss." I say, on the edge of crying.
"How about we check first the lost and found station?" she suggests.
"Fine. I'll try not to overreact first. But if it really isn't there I'm gonna cry." I say while holding back tears.

We arrived at the lost and found station and started to check every box.

"It still isn't here," she says after we searched for a few minutes.
"Maybe someone took it and kept it already, and will give it back tomorrow." I say half-heartedly. "Yeah. Maybe that's the case," she adds, "Why don't we go to the mall first so you can clear your head? We can try to search the whole school but we won't have enough time to find it because the school's about to close already." "Alright. Let's go to the mall now."

AT THE MALL

"Hey Julia! Don't look so glum now," Anna says "You haven't talked since we left the school."
"I'm sorry Anna," I say "It's just that I have been thinking about how the bag was lost and who would have took it."
"Stop thinking about that first. I'm here and I'm gonna help you through this."
"Thanks Anna."

After walking around for a few minutes, we decided to split up first so we can look at what we want and meet each other near the exit before 7pm.

I start running around, tears flowing down my face as the memories of my parents start coming back to me.

Suddenly, someone grabs my arm.

"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I scream at the man. He was with 6 other guys, they seem like a group, like a family.

"Why are you running?" the stranger asks me.

"Why do you care?!" I say clearly annoyed.

"Fine! If you don't want the help I'm giving you now, I'm not gonna give it to you." he says smirking as he lets go of my hand.
"When did I ever ask for your help?" I say.
"I'm sorry for intruding your personal space so we're gonna leave now before someone sees us."
"Why? Are you artists or thieves?" I ask suspiciously.
"No, our fans might see us."

I widen my eyes when I hear this. I carefully looked at each one of them, taking in every detail. I notice that they did look kind of familiar. Then suddenly I remember who they are.

"What are you doing here then?" I say, not telling them that I knew each of their identities by now.
"You recognise us now, don't you?" the male asks, Namjoon.

"Yeah. You are my role models and are the only ones that are keeping me going even through hard times." I admitted shyly.
"Then why are you shy? You do seem super sad. Why aren't you asking us for pictures?" a guy from the group asks, That's probably Jungkook, I say in my mind.

"I'm not like those other people who chase you or wish for you to marry me. I would just like to have some friends. I only have one true friend right now." I say while looking down.

"Hey Julia! Who are you with right now?"

I turn around and I see Anna coming towards me. BTS, I mouthed to her. Her eyes widen in shock. Don't act weird please, I silently mouth to her. She slowly nods her head with a small smile.

"Hello! What are your names?"
she asks them innocently.
The boys start to look at each other warily.
"We really can't say our names," Jin by the looks of it.
"Why not? It would be quite rude to speak with us and not say your names." I say.
"But you haven't told your names to us too." another person says while pouting, Jimin.
Good point, I think, I wonder. A plan starts to form in my mind.

"Why don't we go to a favorite place of mine? It's very hidden, there we can talk." I suggest.
"Please wait a moment." RM says to us as he huddles with the other members.

They started speaking in Korean, so Anna and I decided to speak to each other in our Mother Language: Filipino.

"Napansin mo ba na nagsasalita sila ng fluent English?" I ask Anna.
"Oo nga eh noh. Parang taga-America na sila!" Anna says while laughing. I laugh along with her.
"Bakit kaya sila nandito sa Pilipinas?" I ask her.
"Ewan ko nga rin eh. Baka may MV shooting sila dito." Anna says, unsure.
"Tanungin nalang natin sa kanila mamaya." I tell her.
"Sige."

We had to stop our conversation because they already made their decision.

"We have to a conclusion that you are guys are kind and we can trust you." Namjoon says.
"Hyung why did you have to say it in a complicated way?" Jungkook asked him while laughing. After he said this, everyone else started laughing too.
"Um, I don't know it seems like a formal way to say it I guess." Namjoon says, embarrassed.
"Hahhaha! You know what let's not mind it anymore." Anna tells us.
"Yah! Let's just go to the hidden place now." I tell them.
