Meant To Be

18- "It's not the same with everybody else."

Guys before we begin, I've changed the title of this book from ' The fan sign event ' to ' Meant to be ' mainly because I felt the latter was more appropriate. And I also changed my book cover so I hope you like that as well.

Chapter 18

As we enter the room, the whole of BTS looked up to see us. As soon as we saw each other, we didn't move an inch. More like we couldn't. We literally just stood there looking at each other for around 20 seconds.

Jimin is the first to recover from the shock and exclaims " Ava! " and throws his arms around me and hugs me real tight to a point where I almost choked.

The next 5 minutes were filled with screams, tears, and hugs. Zoe, Mia, and I hugged all the seven guys while the guys did their bro hug. 

You know the one where they kind of slap each other's palm and put their other arm around the shoulder. You know what I'm talking about.

Looks like Taehyung was the most excited to see me because he hugged me for at least 3 minutes and kissed all over my face. Not that I'm complaining, but I was caught off guard.

As for Jungkook, we hugged and like idiots just smiled because we didn't what to do. Even as children, Jungkook and I weren't that close. I pulled his cheeks and gave me his heartwarming bunny smile.

How cute can he get?

After we're done with the greetings, I realize it's just the 5 of us and the 7 of them. Two more people who got a special ticket were also supposed to join us but they couldn't make it because they had some issues.

I know. Such a bummer. But internally I squeal because it's only us and BTS.

As I put my bag down on the floor, I look around and scan the room. There's a huge leather couch that's sitting in the middle of the room and two small leather couches on it's left and right. 

There's a small, antique glass table sitting in the middle of the room. There's a huge television placed on the wall. 

There are a bunch of paintings on the other walls- an old lady who looks like she's ready to throw up, a desert with palm trees, a man who has a creepy look, two children holding umbrellas while the snow is coming down and few more that I don't pay much attention to. 

Mostly because I couldn't figure out what they meant. At the corner of the room, there was a wooden spiral staircase.

The floor was also wooden which I absolutely loved. There's a vase with beautiful flowers placed to the right of the television and a bunch of CDs to the left.

The only sources of light are the chandelier and a few more bulbs that are attached to the wall. Despite the fact that there aren't too many light sources, the lighting is just perfect. Some of us plant our asses on the couch while some others sit on the floor.

Who would expect to see such a cool ass room in an auditorium? Definitely not me.

Taehyung, Jungkook, and Jimin sit on one couch. Ethan on the right and Leo on the left while the three of us girls sit on the floor.

We continue talking about school and how things have changed since we moved. We laughed a lot and had so much fun. 

We learned a lot about each other, like the fact that Jungkook puts milk first and then adds cereal, and the fact that Jimin loves pineapples on his pizza or the fact that Taehyung always needs a person to cuddle with when he sleeps.

Surprisingly, Ethan and Leo and the three guys get along really well. And when I mean 'really well', I mean the "What's-your-jerking-off-schedule?" really well.

After some time, a middle-aged man wearing a white formal shirt with black pants and a black tie enters the room and looks around. He gives a small smile. I'm guessing he is the manager.

" Looking by the way you guys are seated, it definitely looks like y'all have gotten comfortable with each other." He comments and chuckles. Yep, definitely the manager.

Then, with an authoritative voice, he announces, " Like we already planned this meet was to last only for about an hour. The next country on our agenda is Indonesia but unfortunately, it's been informed to us that there's been an earthquake of magnitude 6.3 and we will have to put off our plans for the next two days."

"This means that for the next two days, we have no choice but to stay here. And if you want, your friends are welcome to stay here. For food, you can go downstairs and take the first right. The food is great there." He finishes with a smile and exits the house/room/dorm/ whatever this is.

Mia, Zoe, and I look at each other and mouth, "What the fuck?!"

Our eyes widened with shock and excitement and there was another round of hugs and screams. 

We talk for some more time and then decided to watch a movie while I go to the kitchen to grab some popcorn and coffee.

After seeing me get up, Ethan excuses himself and leaves his seat and follows me to the kitchen. I open the cupboard which is all the way on the top. 

Since I'm pretty tall, I don't have to strain myself or stand on my toes to reach all the way up.

I reach for the popcorn and just as I turn to leave the room, I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist. I curse and drop the popcorn in horror and quickly turn around to see Ethan, and I feel a whoosh of relief and exhale deeply.

"What the hell Ethan? That wasn't funny at all! I almost shit my pants!" I exclaim and hit him on his chest.

"Hey, I didn't mean to scare you. I just missed you." He pouts and brings me closer to him by pulling me by my waist.

"We were literally sitting next to each other a few minutes back," I state and narrow my eyes and put my arms around his neck.

"Yeah but it's not the same with everybody else." He replies.

I would have said something rude but by looking at his innocent and cute little face, I couldn't. I stare deeply into my eyes and run my fingers through his hair. 

He caresses my cheek with his right thumb. He looks down to my lips and all I wanted right now was for him to kiss me.

In response to my thought, almost like he could hear it, he brings his face closer to mine and my heart starts racing. I was suddenly aware of his touch and my knees became weak.

He continues to bring his face closer to mine and stops when our lips are a few inches apart. His eyes look at mine for approval. 

I smile and pull him close to me, and press my lips to his. His lips were soft and he rubs my back with one hand while the other is on my cheek.

"Ava! What's taking you so long?" Jimin screams from the other room. I pull away from the kiss, groan, and make my way to the mini-fridge and grab the bottle of coffee. 

Before exiting the kitchen, Ethan gives me a kiss on the neck and a smile creeps it's way to my face.

I go to the living room and they decided to watch...Frozen?

Oh well, what can I say? We're a bunch of 8-year-olds stuck in an 18-year-old body.

But come on. You're never too old for Disney.

I sit in between Taehyung and Ethan. As Ethan pours out coffee for us, Taehyung leans close to me and whispers,

"I'm just going to pretend like I didn't see what just happened in the kitchen."
