As the last of the concert goers trickled out of the arena, Yun Hae and Min-Ah were escorted backstage to see the boys in a special fan meet. They were ushered into a room with several rows of chairs arranged in a semi-circle around a long table.

"How's my make-up?" Min-Ah asked nervously. She patted her hair and adjusted the straps of her dress. "Should I take off my jacket?" Yun Hae laid a hand on her shoulders, "Keep it on, Min-Ah," she hissed.

"Okay, okay," Min-Ah raised in her hand in resignation. "Aish, after all that dancing your make-up's still flawless."

"Thanks to you," Yun Hae smiled warmly at her friend. She remembered all the flirting she did with Jimin at the concert and wished she could be anywhere but here.

When did I become so shameless? What drove her to act so wantonly in full view of a live audience sent shivers anew along her spine. She pushed what happened to the back of her mind, grateful that her friend hasn't called her out. Yet.

Several groups of girls entered and in minutes the room was filled with giddy girls calling out to the members. "I bet my bottom dollar we're the oldest in this group," she muttered.

"Who cares?" Min-Ah said flippantly, "These kids," she gestured, "they got nothing on us." Yun Hae loved her friend's confidence. She knew Min-Ah was just trying to cheer her up.

Min-Ah wiggled her eyebrows at Yun Hae, "Age is just a number. And besides, neither of us look a day over 30," she giggled. Yun Hae was about to reply when the girls started screaming.

One by one, the boys of Bangtan entered the room, waving to their fans. Yun Hae glanced at Jimin with a concerned look on her face. After two and half hours of singing and intense choreography, surely he must be drained.

They all must be drained. But BTS was a trooper and each time spent with a fan was well thought of and sincere. Yun Hae watched as Jimin and the rest of Bangtan interacted with their fans. They were so extra, horsing around, a little flirting, good-natured banter. Where are they getting all this energy? Each fan leaving the room was more in love with the boys than ever what with that kind of fan service they were getting.

Min-Ah was about to step in line when a staff instructed them to wait, "Ms. Soo, Jimin would like to know if it's okay for you to wait for a bit?" Yun Hae nodded, moving to the back of the line. She was relieved to be honest, the more she delayed meeting Park Jimin again the better.

Jimin scanned the room looking for Yun Hae and her friend. He saw them waiting patiently with the floor director at the back. Somewhere between the end of the concert and the start of the fan meet, she'd managed to secure a Chimmy headband for herself which if Jimin was totally honest with himself, gave him such a thrill knowing that she'd chosen Chimmy, the character he'd created. Jimin saw Min-Ah whisper something to Yun Hae causing her to laugh. Jimin couldn't take his eyes off her. He wished he was the one making her laugh.

"Jimmin oppa!" A fan waved at him, "I liked your performance," she giggled batting her lashes at him. Jimin grinned and gave her a high five. "Gomowo! Keep coming to our concerts, okay?" The fan nodded enthusiastically and blew him a kiss.

He checked the line; there were still a couple of girls waiting to be serviced. Jimin, for the first time since their debut, wished for the line to move faster. Woah. What am I thinking? He pushed the thought out of his mind and focused on another fan.

Taehyung caught his eye and motioned for him to look up.

Yun Hae was walking up to Jin hyung looking sexy as fuck. She had let her hair down, falling in waves past her shoulders. He groaned inwardly; he could already tell that Worldwide Handsome Jin was not going to let this one pass up.

"Hi," Yun Hae smiled timidly at Jin as she approached. Jimin looked at his members, seeing a mixture of astonishment, curiosity and god knows what (he didn't want to know) on their faces. Jungkook was ready to jump off the table, J-hope looked like he might puke, RM fiddled with a marker trying hard not to stare, Taehyung had a huge smile on his face while Suga stared at Yun Hae from half-lidded eyes.

Jin welcomed her with outstretched hands, a huge smile plastered on his worldwide handsome mug. As she came up to him, he rummaged around in his pocket and pulled out a red paper heart. Jimin groaned. Fuck you, Ahjinnshi!

Jimin could see that Yun Hae was delighted with Jin's antics. She scrunched up her nose and bit her lip as her face broke out into a huge smile. Jimin felt like his heart might explode. How does she manage look cute and sexy and shy all at once? He wondered, and hoped she would get to him sooner. Fat chance of that happening. Jimin pursed his lips, looking at his members, he knew they were to going make it a tad hard for him, determined to spend as much time with her as possible. Why did they have to place me at the end of the table?

"I really don't have anything for you to sign," Yun Hae said sheepishly. "But I wanted to congratulate you..." she looked at the rest of members, her eyes lingering on Jimin, before she jerked her head back to face Jin, "for such an amazing performance. I hope you guys keep doing what you're doing."

Jin thanked her and was in the process of pulling out another paper heart from god knows where when J-Hope grabbed Yun Hae's attention. He smiled adoringly at her as he took her hand.

"Now you have something from Bangtan," he said, his signature wide smile in full effect. Jimin tried his hardest to concentrate on the gushing fan in front of him to no avail. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yun Hae open her palm to reveal a small BT21 Mang keychain.

"This is so cute!" Yun Hae exclaimed. "Thanks, J-Hope," she smiled sweetly as she handed Mang back to him. "You have to sign it," she winked at him. Jimin frowned as J-Hope made a show of clutching his heart. He took the keychain and signed it carefully.

"Aigooo! Let me sign my heart, too!" Jin screamed. Yun Hae laughed and gave him back his heart. "Are you sure you want to give your heart to me?" She teased, making Jin blush.

"Eh, stop teasing me," Jin protested as he tried to hide his reddening cheeks, "Respect me, I'm your oppa!"

Jimin felt the muscles in his back tighten. Teahyung laid a reassuring hand on his arm, reigning him in. What in hell, Jin hyung?

Yun Hae looked at Jin straight in the eye and said, "Is that so?" She asked softly. "In that case," she hooked her finger at Jin, motioning her to come closer. And as he did, the rest of the boys unconsciously angled their bodies toward her as well.

"Actually," she whispered. The room was suddenly devoid of sound, you could hear a pin drop.

"I'm your noona!" she retorted, flicking Jin's forehead playfully. Jin gasped and so did the rest of Bangtan.
