The Fan

Chapter 2

"Uh, hey sexy." I said, smiling down at him. Then I realized what I said and stood up, pushing myself off of him and collecting myself once more to see Tyler, Talia and every member of BTS staring at me.

My eyes widened and I paled in embarrassment. "Okay, bye." I muttered, reaching for the door once more. Before I could escape, a hand wrapped around my arm and I looked over to see Tae's eyes meeting my own.

"Stay." He murmured, smiling at me. I blushed furiously, my face most likely turning bright red. I nodded and followed him back to the table where everyone sat, finding an empty seat next to Tyler and a seat away from Jimin.

I smiled at everyone and held my books closer. "Hi. I'm Aidyn. This is Tyler, he's gay. And Talia. I have no clue what her sexuality is. She writes stories like me, but I prefer to write about fictional stuff but she likes non-fiction cause she's weird. Oh, also I do photography sometimes and I'm really clumsy, as you saw." I rambled, waving my hands around slightly.

Tyler kicked my shin and the others tried their hardest to contain their laughter. I blushed even harder, looking down at my feet nervously. Jimin leaned over the extra seat and rubbed my shoulder in a comforting way. I took a deep breath, and felt my face cool down a bit.

"So, Talia. What's your favorite song?" RM asked. She thought about it for a second before answering.

"Either Spring Day or Moonchild." She said, smiling at him. They held each other's gaze for a long time, long enough for it to be awkward. Jungkook cleared his throat, and I turned my head to see my bias, my absolute favorite Idol staring over at me.

He smiled, and I blushed again, smiling back at him. Just then, Yoongi leaned over to him and said something in Korean. "geunyeoneun segsi hae. geuleohji?" He asked. I choked on the air I was breathing as Jungkook nodded.

"Um, guys?" I asked. "I also speak Korean, so... And Spanish, and German cause my parents are extra." Jungkook looked mortified as he stood up quickly.

"I have to... gotothebathroom." He said before running off. Talia and Tyler were confused, but they also didn't notice two particular boys staring at them: Yoongi and RM. Each had his eyes trained on one of them, and I would have laughed out loud at the sexual tension if I hadn't been so embarrassed.

"She's hot, isn't she?" Yoongi had asked. It took me a few minutes, but eventually I warmed up to everyone and became less embarrassed by my fall and the whole ordeal with Jungkook who came back a few minutes looking very red.

We talked about our jobs, life, music, friends, everything we could in two hours. It was more fun than I had ever had in my life. We ended up migrating from the table to a pile of beanbag chairs and couches surrounded by trays of food.

"There's food?" I asked. "I love food!" I reached out and grabbed a couple of grapes, popping them into my mouth as everyone sat down, chuckling at me. "What? I'm always hungry." I looked around to see pretty much every spot taken, leaving no real place for me except a small spot in between Jungkook and Tae.

Screw it, I thought. Tae patted the small spot, but then shook his head and patted his lap instead. So I sat. At first it was awkward, but that way I could also eat and talk at the same time so everyone was comfortable with it.

Yoongi and Tyler sat together on a beanbag, RM and Talia sat together, J-Hope got to share with Jimin, and, of course Jin, me, Jungkook and Tae on the couch together. We continued to talk, and it was... amazing, to say the least.

But then it ended, and I could feel the post-concert depression setting in early. Just as we were saying our goodbyes, Tae came up and hugged me, something I did not expect. And then so did Jungkook, and everyone else, instead of their traditional bowing.

I smiled at them all once more as my friends hurried me out of there, waving a little. "Oh, guys? Y'all were amazing tonight." I called as we left. The all smiled widely and waved as I was dragged off by my impatient friends.

I sighed heavily as we got into the Uber. "Oh my God..." I whispered. I just met BTS. I Just met BTS! I was ecstatic, but also tired, but also a whirlwind of other emotions that all conflicted with each other.

We were home before I realized it, and I said my goodbyes to Talia and Tyler as I exited the Uber and walked back inside of my house. I set down my keys and tossed my purse to the side as I collapsed onto the couch in utter exhaustion.

Something fell out of my purse in the corner of my eye, and I lifted myself up to see what it was. It was a slip of paper, unlined, unlabeled. At first I thought it was a note I had written for myself to remember to do something, but what I found upon opening it was surprising.

It was from Tae, who had slipped it into my purse when he came and gave me a hug or something. It said:

Aidyn-

Text us, would you? I'd like to learn some more about this mysterious writing-traveling-photo-taking girl. -Tae

Below it was each of their phone numbers, writing in Tae's signature scrawl. I smiled at it, folding it back up and holding it close to my heart. He wanted to talk to me. Me.

What a day, I thought to myself, laying back down on the couch. It wasn't much longer before I fell asleep, then and there, still clutching the note in my hands.
