BigHit scouts and recruits a new girl group after having to go into hiding in England. Will the girls overcome the struggles of fame and stop themselves from falling in love with a bts member? Or will they crumble due to rumours and another girl gro...
We all get out of our seats and leave the room. I open the door and bump into Jimin's chest.
"S-Sorry I didn't see you," I say to him while the others head out to their houses.
"Have you forgotten?" He asks smiling smugly at me and I feel my face start to get warmer and warmer. "Forgotten what?" I ask trying to hide my smile. I know exactly what he's talking about but I don't want him to think I'm desperate.
"The date you promised me?". I try to say something but nothing comes out. I've never felt like this before, usually, I'm the one making the guys I like become paralysed not the other way round.
"O-Oh y-yeah." I stumble with my words and get hotter and hotter.
"Ok see you where we first met in half an hour."
And before I could respond back, he walked away. Right, Marie, you can do this! This is no different from any other guy you've ever met. The only difference is that he's ten times hotter and super nice but apart from that... who am I kidding? I'm still shaking from talking to him. Now... what should I wear?
I pick out a black and white striped shirt and tucked it inside a short red skirt. I look at a full-bodied mirror and do a little twirl in satisfaction with my outfit and then start doing a funny dance in front of the mirror in excitement when suddenly my body stops and remembers the contract all of us signed. "If you have a romantic relationship with any of the BTS members, all of you will be kicked out of the company." Those words echoed through my head over and over again and I sit on y bed in deflation.
Suddenly I remembered something Andy told me a few years ago, 'If there's something that I want so much that my heart skips a beat whenever I think of it, no one will be able to stop me.'
Although she was referring to her love for music it has the same context as my situation right? Hanging out with Jimin makes my heart beat extremely fast and I won't let us cross the line I just want to hang out with him and yes maybe it's because I like him but I'm positive he doesn't like me back and is just teasing me so nothing will come out of this,
I look at the mirror one final time and smile then make my way towards the hairdressers.
I walk towards the hairdresser front door and see Jimin with a simple button up white shirt with the first two buttons unbuttoned and black jeans with his shirt tucked in holding a single rose.

"Shall we go inside?" He asks me with that killer smile of his. Lost for words, I simply frantically nod and he opens the door and gestures with his arm to head in first. It was such a small gesture but it made my heart flutter.
The inside of my family's hairdresser 'Hue' looked exactly the same except it had a table in the middle of the room and two chairs facing opposite each other with two meals on the table. I looked to Jimin but his face looked just as confused and surprised as mine.
"Did you do this?" I ask while walking towards the chair to sit down. Like before, he pulled the chair that I was going to sit in back and then I sat on it and he made his way towards the chair opposite me.
"I wish I could say I did but all I did was text your mum saying we were going to have a date here and to make sure there was no one left here when we arrived."
I laugh finally understanding what happened. My mum has always been too involved in my dating life so I would bet one of my lungs to say that it was her mischievous idea to set this up.
As I look around the hairdressers, memories flood me remembering the old times when Andy, myself and Amy would come to the hairdressers after it closed down and practising dancing together since we didn't have anywhere else to practise in until Amy ditched us and Vivian joined us. After Vivian joined us she used her parent's money to buy a studio and a dance teacher. Jimin notices that my mind drifted and said,
"Am I really that boring that you're already daydreaming?"
I smile at him with teary eyes from remembering those memories and say, "No, this is already the best date I've been on, I just remembered something from a while ago."
He gives me a knowing nod and continues eating his dish.
A while passed and we talked a lot about different topics and a lot about dancing and how we came to love it, it seems that our stories are quite similar. We both started ballet when we were young and then drifted to hip hop which is quite cool. Eventually, we finished our food and sat in silence for a few seconds and then he asked me, "So what made you want to become a singer?"
I smile at the thought and start telling him the story.
"Well... Andy and I had been friends since we were six and Andy always wanted to be a singer but initially I wanted to become a dance teacher. When we were 14, Andy and Amy made a group called A# but they felt like they needed one more member so they could join a competition so Andy asked me if I could join since no one else would agree so I did. After performing that one time I couldn't forget the feeling of being on stage and the adrenaline rush it gave me. It was like a drug and I couldn't get enough so I decided to ditch the idea of being a teacher and try to become a performer."
"So Andy is the reason we met? I should hug her when we get back and then her." He jokes.
"Andy hates hugs so you would probably get a punch in the face!" We both laugh loudly and then silence follows. I hesitate on whether I ask him a question and finally gather the guts. "Why are you so flirty with me anyways?"
He looks down looking flustered. "You're straightforward. I kind of like it. I like you, you're pretty and funny and ever since I watched your performance I can't get you off my mind."
"You're straightforward too." I say to him, "Can you excuse me, I need the bathroom, I'll be right back." I smile to him and he nods.
I go to the bathroom and ring Andy.
BEEP BEEP
BEEP BEEP
Please answer the phone
BE-"What's up loser."
"ANDY GUESS WHAT ?" I say frantically and trying not to scream.
"What?"
"I'm on a date with JIMIN" I squeal on the phone and Andy complains.
"What do you mean on a date? You read the contract right?"
"Yes of course I did but I really like him. I won't let it get too far his will be the first and the last date I promise."
"I know that's a lie but I won't stop you because I know you won't listen anyway... How was it?"
"It was amazing!!!!" I continue to ramble on about every single detail of the date and receive witty comments from Andy."Anyway, I have to go he'll think I escaped or something." I giggle. "Ok have fun but not too much." and then we hang up and I make my way back to him.
He stands up when he sees me and holds my wrist to pull me closer to him, my heart pounds louder and louder like a drum and he looks into my eyes and then his eyes slowly drift towards my lips. His lips come closer and closer and just as he was about to kiss me he smiles and pulls the rose from earlier in between his face and mine.
"You forgot to take the rose." I stare at him frustrated and take the rose.
"Tease," I think to myself and we walk back to the Bighit building making sure no one saw him or are following us.
"I had a fun day today Marie." He says and then kisses me on the cheek. "Me too," I say to him and we both head in different directions.
