"Okay, I need to calm down. They're human beings too. It'll be fine- 
Ugh who am I kidding? I'm not gonna be fine."

"Hazel, what are you doing in the bathroom? You've already been there for an hour now. You're going to be late."

Minyoung bangs the door.

"I'm coming."

I open the door.

"Hazel, I know that you're nervous since this is the first time you're going to meet them, but try your best not to be nervous because I have experienced that nervousness when I first met EXO. I couldn't even talk to them properly. I just kept blabbering nonsense. Don't make the same mistake that I made."

I nod my head.

"Good girl. But are you going to wear that to the event."

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"

I was wearing a plain t-shirt and denim jeans. I thought I looked good in it. It's what I wore everyday.

"Well it looks good. But I had thought you would dress up today since you're meeting them for the first time. And you want them to notice you, right?"

"I mean..... I do want them to see me. But I didn't know what kind of clothes I should wear so after trying to choose the perfect attire for so long I gave up and just wore normal casual clothes."

"Oh, no worries. Seeing as you are already pretty one way  or another they are going to notice you."

"You flatter me to much."

"It's true."

"As you say. Anyway I have to go I guess Jesse is waiting for me. Okay bye."

"Bye, have fun."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"I can't believe that this many people are already here. How long do you think it they wait?"

"I guess it's already being two or  three hours of them waiting."

Jesse and I were now in front of the store. There were already a few people standing in line.

We were standing in the queue for about 2 hours now and my legs were hurting.

"Hazel, why don't you go and sit down for a while. I'll keep your place in the queue."

"Aww, will you? The others won't mind right?"

"They won't everyone does that."

"Okay, I'll sit down and after my leg recovers I'll stand and you sit,alright?"

"Okay."

I go and sit on the stairs to the store.

I sat there for a while massaging my legs when I feel as if someone was staring at me.

I look up and see a group of girls staring at me. But as soon as our eyes meet they look somewhere else.

I also notice a lot of other girls giving me short side glances.

Since now my legs were well rested I walked towards Jesse so that now she could sit down.

She's wearing heels. Her feet must be killing her.

As I pass two girls I overhear one of them saying.

"She's really pretty."

"Yeah."

I pay no heed to any of their words and keep on going forward.

"Jesse it's your turn to rest."

"Oh thank God you came. I thought my legs would give up any second now."

"You wouldn't mind to keep the gifts with you right?"

"Nah, I don't."

"Ok then. I'm gonna be there."

"Go go."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A while later Jesse came back and we stood together for another 30 minutes.

At last the doors to the store were opened and everyone cheered.

The line moved excruciatingly slow.

As we entered most of the seats up-front were already occupied. I didn't know where to sit in order to get the best view so let the experienced Jesse to do the work.

"Let's sit at the center. Actually that's the perfect spot. You can see everyone."

"Ok, let's go."

We waited for a long time, again.

All were excitedly chatting away. Jesse herself was taking to the Armies around her.

I would have too.

If I was good at making conversation.

At one point I started a conversation with the girl beside me but it was a major failure.

It ended up in a awkward silence.

"Why is there so much of waiting? Jesse when will it start."

"Don't worry, it will start soon. BTS must have already arrived. They must be preparing."

"Okay. This waiting is killing me."

Jesse chuckled.

Then suddenly some people came out and stood at the stage and the whole room quietened down.

I knew why.

I felt Jesse squeeze my hand out of excitement.

I guess it doesn't matter how many times one has seen BTS, the excitement of seeing them never decreases.

I felt like my own heart would jump out any second.

The few minutes seemed to pass painfully slow.

When these few minutes passed a staff member pulled open one of the curtain on the left of the stage to provide a entry for the seven stars.

Then, like as if in a movie, one by one they slowly walked gracefully on the stage.

There was no special order in which they came.

As soon as all of them were on stage facing us, a roar of applaud and screams were presented to them by the Armies presented.

Me included.

I think my eyes became watery for a while.

I couldn't believe I was seeing them.

No, not in a photo.
Not in a video.
Not in the t.v

But in real life.

They waved at us and told us how much they loved us.

Hearing their voices was a bliss to my ears.

Each voice unique and beautiful.

I was quite overwhelmed.

They looked so handsome and lovely.

"Everyone, it really great to meet you guys. It's such an honor."

"We love you."

They started talking to us. When they asked us a question all the Armies answered.

Me excluded.

I couldn't open my mouth. Even if I could my voice wouldn't come out. I was sure of it.

I was looking at each of them but when my eyes landed on Jungkook, I could take my eyes off of him.

I must have stared at him for long and hard because he suddenly turned and looked at me straight in the eye.

I think I'm having a heart attack.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I don't really know what actually happens in an actual fan-signing so......Yeah.
