I saw I was handcuffed to a tall man. My fourteen year old heart started to race when I realised who it was.

Kim Taehyung from BTS, better known by his stage name; V. He looked as surprised as me. For a moment I just stared at him and he stared back. Then I came back to reality.

"We should look for the key," I said.

He looked at me.

"A key??" I said over.
Oh come on Gem. What is KEY in Korean?

I look up at him and try act it out."A key" You point to the cuffs and pretend to unlock them. No luck. I made my body into a key shape which got me weird looks from strangers. I start to feel like I was playing charades.

He finally got it, but only after I had publicly embarrassed myself.

We started to look for a key, but no luck.

"Nothing," I said and looked at him.

He looked so focused.

"We need to look for the owner of the museum," he said

"You just spoke perfect english!!!" I said looking like a little gold fish.

He just looked at me and smiled. His smile lit up is whole face.

"Why did you not say you understood me sooner. I looked like such an idiot," I said and pouted.

He patted my head and started to walk, pulling me along with him to the main room.

"Excuse me sir," he tapped an employee's shoulder.

He turned around and asked what we want. We told him our predicament and he led us to a thin man.

Then, more explaining about the little girl and how we would like the key.

He began to speak, "I am sorry ma'am and monsieur, but that piece should not have even been on the table. We will have to have a speciel locksmith flown to Korea to get proper equipment for the job. The next available appointment time is....Ahhh..." he went to his computer. "In 5 months time if I book now," he said coldly as he typed on his computer.

A pat on my head brought me back to reality.

I looked up to the tall man I would be spending the next few months with.

"What is your name?" he asked.

"Oh, I'm Aquamarine, but please call me Gem," I said extending my hand to meet his.

"I am Taehyung, but you can call me V," he said with a smile.

Like I didn't already know I thought to myself.

"We should probably go to a cafe to talk about this!" he said lifting up his hand with a smile.

"Okay. I will tell my teacher I will be back a little later," I said pulling out my phone.
