Mikrokosmos. (A BTS Romance Fanfic)

CHAPTER 1: Can call me artist

[Mae]

"You're overthinking. This is our 3rd time exhibiting here what are you worried about?" I teased my bestfriend, Isabelle, as she secretly bites her nails out of nervousness.

"I don't know, Mae. I mean, my heart just keeps on beating so fast without any reason. I feel like something bad is about to happen. Can you do tarot reading for me?"

I can't help but laugh. She always does this when she is nervous about something. She always asks me if I can do some tarot reading for her or see if something is wrong with her astrology chart.

"You don't need that. You just drank a lot of coffee". I said as I stood up to fix one of her portraits hanging behind her.

My name is Mae. My last name is a secret. It's too ugly so I don't wanna blurt it out. I'm a filipina artist. And by artist, I mean painter.

I'm 26 years old and my journey has been a hell of a ride. I just started having shows internationally last 2 years but I have been an artists for almost 5 years now. I'm not very well known locally, but my shows on other countries are always sold out. I gotta say, I am pretty dang talented.

My best friend over here is Isabelle Kim. We have been friends since our college years. Unlike me, she's a professional photographer. We usually do shows together abroad. We decided to take a leap of faith and quit our jobs to pursue a full time career as artists last 2 years and everything seems to be great so far.

She's actualy half korean but she spent half of her life in Manila. We actually booked a lot of shows here in Seoul because of her.

"You know what, I have an idea for our next show on September" I said.
"What?"
"The things we think about when we are nervous" I smiled.

[Taehyung]

BTS. Bangtan Sonyeondan.
Everybody knows us. It's a blessing. But sometimes , I wish I can be invisible so I can roam around freely whenever I want to.

"I swear I will be careful. You can come with me if you want" I pleaded to Namjoon-hyung.
"Are you sure? I mean it's friday today there might be a lot of people, you know".
"Just go with him, Namjoon. He has been pouting since yesterday because of that show" Jin-hyung said.
"I can go with him. I have been curious about that exhibit you were mentioning" Yoongi-hyung said as he sat beside me.
"I wanna come to." Jungkook said while raising his hand.

Namjoon-hyung sighed and scratched his head.

"Fine. I'll come with you too so I can keep an eye on you" he said.
"YEHEY!!"

I have been curious with her works ever since I saw her on instagram. She has one of the best photographs ever.

I want to meet you, Isabelle Kim.

[Isabelle]

*achoo*

"Do you have colds?" Mae whispered to me as she hands me a glass of wine.
"No."
"Well, good. There are a lot of people today. I am so overwhelmed." She smiled.

It is a surprise actually. There are a lot. Some of them, we don't actually know. The gallery manager told us earlier that they posted ads on universities so some of the visitors might be professors or students. But we are happy just having a lot of visitors to be honest.

"Do you think we can sell out this show too?" I asked Mae.
"Hell yeah. When did we never?"

I punched her slighty as we laugh. We are actually more marketable here and in Singapore so I can't help but believe that we actually can.

We saw the gallery manager running towards us smiling.

"There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you two" she excitedly said.
"Why? Is there a problem?" I began being nervous again.
"There might be." She answered.
"But it's a good kind of problem. Come with me to the office at the back. Someone wants to buy all of your artworks now. But they want to meet you two first" she pulled both of us.

Huh. All of our works? Who is this ultra-rich collector? I need to befriend him.

[Yoongi]

"Those paintings are superb. I just need all of them"
Wow, Min Yoongi. You have become a man of sophistication, haven't you?

"Are you sure, hyung? I mean, where will you put them?" Namjoon asked.
"The house is big. We can figure that out"

"Those photographs are nice too. Will you buy them all, Taehyung? We can split. I need some for my bedroom too." Jungkook said.
"Fine. Since there are 15. 10 are mine 5 are yours"
"Fine."

These 2 artists that we don't even know are about to become rich because of us, huh? Well, they deserve it though. Their works are masterpieces.
Taehyung insisted on meeting them. He said that he has been a fan of the photographer named Isabelle since last year. They seldom have shows here in Seoul so he insisted on coming. As for me, I don't know. I was curious. Then the next thing I know-----

"Here we are. Isabelle, Mae. Meet your collectors." The gallery manager said as she opened the door.

"Oh god." The short haired girl whispered.

But my eyes were stuck on the other girl. The one with some red streaks in her hair.

---- I was interested with her.
Mae.
