4. You know BTS?

Chapter 4: you know BTS?

*unedited*

Minah's pov:

"wait," Josh said putting his palm in front of my face. We were all sitting in our usual café, the one near to our dorm. After hearing my story, Lynn dragged me out hear so everyone could hear it. she found it incredibly romantic and she hoped the others will too. But I felt the opposite. I didn't want them to know that I love a celebrity. An idol. I didn't want them to look at me as an obsessive fan.

So, I left that part out. The part from where Namjoon belongs to BTS, the most popular boyband of the world.

That tiny detail.

"you've been getting dreams of this guy Joon for over a year?" Josh asked me, disbelief written clearly written on his face.

"that's what she said dumbass" Lynn scoffed at him.

"wow" Aura breathed. She kept staring at her half-eaten plate of burger and fries shock written over her once calm face. Josh nudged her but she ignored him like she has been for an hour.

"babe, c'mon," Josh spoke shaking her shoulders slightly.

"I can't believe this," she repeated for the tenth time. she looked up at me, staring wide-eyed before pointing her finger at me, "you!"

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at her but failed. I started regretting telling the whole story but it wasn't like I had a choice. My eyes shifted to Lynn who was casually sipping her strawberry milkshake with joy. Her eyes met mine and I gave her a look. She frowned at me before giving me a sweet smile.

"don't look at me like that" she patted my head.

"if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have had the need to deal with this dramatic crap" I muttered huffing.

"what?" I heard Aura screech from the opposite of me. I closed my eyes waiting for her to burst.

"I really can't believe this!" she put her hands up scoffing. Josh tried to calm her down but it didn't seem to help. "I'm your best friend. You hid this for a year and a half and now that I'm hearing this, you don't want to deal with me? I'm dramatic?" she pointed to herself, anger radiating off of her.

"do me a favor and don't call yourself a best friend, okay?" Lynn answered for me, slamming her hand down the table with force and I flinched. Lynn looked scary when she gets angry and no one can escape from her. And Aura knew that. "she didn't keep anything from us. It was obvious that she had dreams. You weren't observant enough to care about her. You're always busy with your boyfriend that you have no time to pay attention to us." She said staring straight at Aura.

"no offense, Josh"

Josh waved it off with a smile. He looked a bit awkward, having to sit through a girl fight but Josh was a part of our little gang and Lynn threatened to kill him if he didn't show up. so, he showed up for the story, mainly because he was scared of what Lynn might do if he didn't.

"wow" Aura muttered lowering her eyes.

I felt bad for Aura. I knew it wasn't her fault. And I deliberately kept my dreams to myself as possible. I didn't want them to think that I've gone crazy. It was true that she had been spending a lot of time with Josh lately but it was natural for them to do that.

"I'm really sorry that I kept it from you. I just...didn't want to worry you." I began apologizing placing my hand on hers but Josh interrupted me getting my attention.

"so, this guy Joon, you've never met him before?" Josh questioned me, his eyebrows raised.

I bit my lip hard looking down. I didn't want them to know that I knew Joon. I didn't want to. but I didn't want to lie to them either. If I tell them I knew Joon, they would ask me how and naturally, it will lead to revealing everything that I'm trying to hide.
