"Hey, deep breaths, okay?" I held her hands and looked her straight in the eyes as we stood outside of the room where the rest of my band is. "They're all really nice, I promise."
"I just..." Theo took a deep breath, closing her eyes for a few seconds. "What if they don't like me?"
"Well then they're missing out on an amazing person, because I wouldn't trade you for the world."
Oh shit was that too sappy?
"I wouldn't trade you either." Theo smiled up at me, loving that she's still shorter than me. I patted her head and picked up Daegu, opening the door to BTS. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at us. I smiled slightly as Theo laced her fingers with mine, scooting closer to me as well.
"Hey guys, this is my friend, Theodora." I introduced her and she waved nervously, the boys all smiling. "She flew here from Ohio, a state in America."
"I don't know Korean." Theo mumbled from beside me and I sighed.
"Geez what the heck." I teased her, earning a soft smack. "It's okay, they all know bits and pieces. Namjoon is fluent."
"You, America?" Jungkook stuttered, nervousness in his eyes as he stared at her. Theo nodded shyly and Jungkook gasped. "Woahhh."
"Jungkook is 15, so he's a bit awkward." Namjoon smiled an explanation, and held out a hand to her. "I'm Kim Namjoon. But you can call me Joon if that's easier." Theo loosened her grip on my fingers as she shook his hand, finally feeling a bit at ease. But Jimin and Hoseok ruined it.
"Taehyungie's friend?" Hoseok spoke loudly as he advanced on Theo, her grip tightening again. "Wowwww." He hugged her tightly, her hand releasing mine to awkwardly pat his back, Jimin joining in the hug, locking her in the middle.
"Hey dude." I pulled Theo free and wrapped my arm around her shoulder. "She gets really nervous, can you give her room to breathe?" Theo frowned as I spoke Korean but I tapped my thumb against her hand reassuringly.
"Ah shit." Hoseok rubbed the back of his neck as he smiled sheepishly at Theo. "What's the English word for sorry?"
"Sorry."
"I berry sorry Theo!" Hoseok and Jimin bowed in front of her, embarrassment splattered across their faces.
"No it's okay." Theo reassured, letting go of my hand and folding her hands, resting them in front of her. "It's nice to meet you all."
After the handshakes and all, Yoongi offered Theo a seat on the couch, the rest of them finding some foldable chairs, I sitting next to her and Jin on the other side of me, only us three fitting on our humble couch.
"I like your ring." Jungkook spoke quietly, pointing to Theo's ring. "Where... you get, uhm, it?" I snorted as Theo glared up at me.
"Taehyung bought it for me."
"Ooooo." Jin laughed, nudging me as I rolled my eyes. "A ladies man."
"Do you remember the day you bought it for me?" Theo looked up at me, leaning her head on my shoulder.
"How could I forget?"
