Can I help you?

Chapter 3

That afternoon, after her shift, she went home and met up with the others. After a full 10 minutes of screaming and yelling and upsetting the neighbours, they decided to get dressed for the occasion. Clothes are flying everywhere. Like frenzies make-up is handed over to each other. "What shoes should I wear?" "Where is the blush? You know, that red one." "Which red one? You have 5 red ones." "Coral" "As if I know what the fuck coral is." "OMG WHAT EARRINGS???" "Calm down, your hair is down, so they won't see it anyway." "OMGOMG WHAT ABOUT MY HAIR??!!!" Mary decided on a high knot, taming her fine curls. Leaving just a small lock next to her head, that she swiftly strokes behind her ear. Sarah decided on a half up hairdo. Doenja is checking her collection of caps. Emma decided to let it all just lose. Their rooms are a mess, it looks like a bomb exploded in them. Makeup is everywhere, clothes and shoes are laying over every piece of furniture. Finally they managed to finish up. "So remember, keep it professional. You will be able to see them for a longer time and grow closer over time, naturally, so don't rush things." They make their way to the hotel, and in the lobby are Jimin, Jhope and Jungkook already waiting. Jhope's jaw drops at the sight of Sarah. Behind her are 3 other women. Sarah introduces the others. They shake hands. Polite compliments are being dealt out. "I love how versatile you are." "I liked Serendipity the best." "The tour is amazing. How do you do it?" Gradually the other members join too. V enters as last. "Shall we go? I made dinner reservations at 7. I know the owner well and made sure he uses his back room for our privacy." RM grins. As expected from her, she knows very well what she is doing. She would be wasted in the hotel. They leave the hotel and pass by these old, glorious buildings. They are marvelling about them. Sarah just smiles, enjoying that they love her city of origin so much. Somehow she is very proud of her ancestry in this city. They enter the market square and every member is taking pictures. The night has not yet fallen, but the sun is already setting. "Tomorrow I will guide you around the city some more, and make sure you'll see the most beautiful sunset in whole of Bruges." They enter the restaurant and are guided immediately to the back room, that can be closed off from the main restaurant. The dishes are all locally produced food, Flemish, because the owner actually also owns a cattle farm and uses his cattle for his products. Everyone from BTS was impressed and praised Sarah for her professional find. Mary is talking to Suga about music. Doenja is sitting next to her, barely making eye contact with Suga. Sarah is chatting with Jin and RM. Emma is sitting in front of RM and is leaning with her arm on the table, her head on her hand, staring at RM's perfect face. When the food comes, everyone eats and enjoys it fully. The conversation is light and bubbly and everyone enjoys it. Jungkook sings a piece from On, and everyone falls quiet. The women clap their hands in delight. It is such a cosy atmosphere.

They leave the restaurant, still laughing. Jimin yawns. Sarah notices. "Are you feeling tired? You still must be tired from the jetlag. If you guys want, you can retire for the night. Don't worry about a thing, I will take care of tomorrow. Just get some good sleep and we will wait for you in the morning around 10 am in the lobby. Okay?" The members nod gratefully and the whole group moves back to the hotel. Within 5 minutes, they arrive and the members go in. The 4 women wave at them. The door closes. They move onto their own house. Still calms and composed. The moment they turn the corner of the street, all at the same moment, start freaking out. "OMG I HELD HIS HAND!" "I TALKED TO HIM!!" "I WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM." "WE HEARD JK SING LIVE" A neighbour opened his window to shout a 'Shut up!' from somewhere. The women fall silent but are grinning and giggling. They quickly return to their home, but come home to a pigsty. "Oh god, we still need to clean up." Emma sighs. They all start cleaning up. After they finished: "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO WEAR TOMORROW?!" Sarah only needed to say this and all were rushing back to their rooms to start the mess all over.

The members are hanging out in the lounge of the hotel. They were talking about the evening. "The food was amazing. I also liked how we were secluded from other people. And it wasn't all that expensive!" Jimin nods at hearing this remark from V. "Sarah was an excellent choice. All of them were very composed. I think it will be a good addition to our team." Jin says, praising RM's skills in judging characters. RM's shoulders grow. Jhope stared down his drink. He can't seem to forget how she looked. Her red lips, her gentle eye make up, the hazel green eyes... Jin smacks Jhope on the back. "What has your panties all twisted up like this?" Jhope looks at Jin. "About Sarah... Who do you think she likes from us?" Jin smiles. "Well, me of course. Who doesn't?" He laughs. Jhope sighs. Suga can't seem to forget the girl with the baseball cap. She is SO my style. He smirks. They go to sleep because all of them are still very tired.
