-Hi Mary.- They spoke in unison and I took a deep breath to compose myself. They were sitting there but for some reason, it didn't seem real. My heart skipped a beat when I noticed how much more handsome they were in person, even without all the production and makeup. They looked straight from a magazine model and they were not even trying. -Please, sit here.- Namjoon pointed my seat between him and V, who was looking at me with a big smile eager to speak. Being very shy, I sat down and looked over to Jimin, staring at me with wide eyes. Mary, please don't pass out here! Without even trying to speak I turned my head to see that HE was sitting in front of me with an embarrassed look towards his plate. JungKook... I swallowed and tried to be as calm as possible, but J-hope who was in front of NamJoon decided it was a good thing to talk. -Hi Mary, how are you? We see you cry back there.- His broken English left me breathless. -I'm sorry.- I said staring at him.- This is crazy, I feel I'm gonna have a stroke right now. Everyone gave me a strange look after my comment what made me guessed Namjoon never told them I was a fan. -Ah! I should have mentioned it guys, she is an Army. Oh god! please don't! A deep silence grew up in the table until Jimin and V screamed "ARMY" at unison while extending his arms towards the air. They seemed happy about it, but I didn't want to come up as a crazy fan who was taking advantage of them. -Oh! Why you didn't say, Mary? Army and Bts, family.- said J-hope with a sweet tone. I couldn't help but smile while again trying to avoid looking at Kook, who was still quiet. -Mary, why were you crying?- Tae held his chin with his right hand and looked at me with a cute glance. -Taehyung, don't be rude! - Said NamJoon in Korean and then spoke to me.- I'm sorry, they've been drinking. "DRINKS!" Screamed J-hope and ordered another round. -It's okay.- I decided it was better if I started to let my mouth speak. - My mum called me to tell me my dog had passed away. Everyone made a sweet "Aw" sound while giving me a sad look. I melted with love in just seconds when I noticed this time, HE was also paying attention. -Oh no!- Tae came near me and gave me a small hug.- I'm sorry. I touched his hand that was placed in my left shoulder and instantly a tear came down my cheek AGAIN. -NO! Don't cry!- Jimin extended his arms and joined the hug from his place. Now his hand was on top of mind and for a moment I felt a strange pain in my stomach. I'm doing a hand sandwich with Jimin and V, please god if this is a dream, wake me up now before it's way too late! -Guys, please...don't make our guest uncomfortable!- Namjoon nagged them making the hug dissolved. -Thank you. You know Namjoon, you were right, this is making me feel a lot better.- I smiled, and he looked pleased. -What was your dog name?- Hoseok asked making me freeze. I could feel my whole face turning red. -Oh, I don't want to say. -Why?- Jimin smirked. Now, it's when I have to wake up! Now! NOW! No? okay. -It's embarrassing.- I glanced at Kook who was avoiding eye contact as much as he could. -You don't have to tell us Mary.- Namjoon was being so sweet that I felt the obligation to tell them. -I guess after you let me sit here with you, it's the least I can do, right?. Jimin and Tae tenderly nodded. -Okay.- I covered my eyes with both hands and whispered his name. -We couldn't hear you Mary.- Jimin claimed eagerly to know. -Kookie.- The letters just came out of my mouth without permission. I felt the heat in all my body and let my hands stay still on my eyes. -OH! KOOKIE!- The remaining members screamed. I uncovered my eyes to see that they were pointing at him and I just couldn't take it. -Oh my god, I feel I'm gonna die right now.- I put my head inside my arms on the table. I couldn't bear to look at him. -Don't be embarrassed! - I felt Namjoon's hand on my back. -I need a drink, a strong one.- I looked up while everyone laughed and for the first time in the night, we locked eyes. Oh. My. Sweet. Lord. Kook had a sweet smile on his face and I noticed a little tone of pink in his cheeks as he was probably as embarrassed as me. For a second he just stared at me making me start to sweat like a pig. -I'm sorry about your dog.- His English was clear. HE SPOKE TO ME! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN KOOK SPOKE TO ME! -Oh! JungKook, you spoke!- Tae bursted out .- He is really shy around women, sorry about that. -Thank you.- I ignored Tae and just kept looking at Kook who was starting to have more color on his face. I swear I could see the whole universe through his eyes. -Oh! Look, the drinks are here!- Hoseok grabbed the bottles from the waitress and handed one to me. - Have you tried Soju before, Mary? -I tried it when I was 16 but I don't remember the taste. -How old are you?- Tae asked while serving soju in my glass. -I was born in 1994. I know here the age is different so I'm a little confused about how old I am on this continent. -Oh! Noona!!!- Tae screamed. He was drunker than I expected. -Taehyung, please behave! - Namjoon acted like a cute father. -Do you know what noona means Mary?- Jimin asked. -Yes, I know. I've been a fan of Kpop since I was a teenager, I've been learning some Korean also, but I'm not good at it. -Oh! Really?- J-Hope exclaimed with his cute voice. -Really!- I said back with my awful pronunciation. All of them, except for kook, screamed with approval. He just smirked at me while taking a shot. Hey, is it me? Or it's boiling in here! -That's cool!- Exclaimed Namjoon. - Well, thank you! That's why I acted so weird guys, it's just that sitting here with you seems kind of a dream come true. -Cute.- I heard Jimin's voice next to me. I'm gonna burn! -Let's have a toast for destiny bringing us together tonight.- Namjoon raised his glass and stood up. I happily smiled and all of us put our drinks together in the center. Again Kook and I crossed eyes and this time he was sweetly smiling. His beautiful stare made me bite my lip, but he quickly turned his head away embarrassed. -Cheers! Each one of them drank a shot, me, instead just took a sip and felt as if my throat had caught on fire. -Oh, my sweet lord! I didn't remember it this strong. They laughed at me and filled the second round. They drank it as orange juice and I wasn't even able to finish my first one. -You have to finish it.- Jimin talked to me while filling the empty part of my glass. -Shot.- Hoseok smiled at me and grabbed his third glass. -Okay! Let's do this. We stared at each other and I let all that pure alcohol run through my body. I made an "AH" sound when I felt the burning sensation in my mouth and left the empty glass on the table. They clapped with approval and Tae poured me another one while talking. -Are you ready, noona? You are about to have the best night of your life with us. At eleven the dark of the night was all over us and after a BIG number of shots, it seemed I had known these boys my whole life. -No freaking way, you work in gaming?- Kook, who after all the alcohol, found the way to talk to me, asked enthusiastically. -Yeah, I do. That's why I did this trip, the company I work for wants me to move here. -Ah! And do you like Seoul so far?- Namjoon was sitting with his arm resting on the back of my chair and I was close enough to feel his breath. When did you come this close? -Yes, I mean, this is my first day, I'm not sure what I want to do yet. -Noona, what if destiny brought us together to convince you to stay here?- Tae was completely drank and his English was starting to sound very unclear. I wish. -Maybe.- I was pretty drank too so I understood every word he said. - Hey Guys! I have to say, your English has immensely improved! -Thank you, thank you.- Jimin's eyes were completely red.
