Annndddd... here you go!!

Enter Tannie! 😘🥰🐶

Diana first person pov:

So Jungkook texted me, asking if I wanted to come over and hangout with them and Jin's soulmate Kate. Okkkkkk.... I guess this is normal now????....

First let me just say: No, I have not told my cousins about this because I'm not certain they wouldn't try to follow me with a drone or something. Yes, I like hanging out with Bangtan. No, I don't really know them that well but spending more time together is the only way to accomplish that so, here I am. But that in no way means that I'm not dying inside of nerves, because believe me: I AM!!!

But I'm not cancelling, so I ring the doorbell and wait a good ten seconds where I hear rushing and rambling on the other side.

The door opens, to reveal Namjoon smiling at me with his dimples. "Hey Diana, come inside!" he says in English.

"Thanks." I say and take my shoes off before getting a good look at the dorm.

Wow!

Modern yet comfy, clean but homey, and with a killer view.

I look back at Namjoon who's chuckling at my reaction, and it's that moment that I realize that my mouth is open. I quickly snap my jaw together and I feel myself blush. "You have a lovely home." I say regaining confidence.

"Thank you, but maybe you'd like to see more than the entryway." He says chuckling again.

"If you insist!" I say a bit dramatically, making him laugh again, and I follow as he leads me into a large living room: giant windows make up one of the walls, the biggest tv I've ever seen, what looks to be the most expensive gaming system ever, and a very large U shaped couch with the rest of the boys sprawled on it with a fluffy brown and black dog, and one girl.

She didn't look Asian though, no probably American. The girl had long brown hair and hazel eyes, which were now brightening by the millisecond and laser focused on me.

"Kate, this is-" Namjoon started in English

"You're Rue Cortland from IRL!" She said jumping up from her seat.

I have to take a moment to make sure I'm hearing her right. "Oh, you've seen our channel?" I ask her a bit surprised

"Yeah. My younger brother is the one who got me into it. He's a big fan." she says a bit shyly.

"Ohh really?"

"Yeah, he actually has a huge crush on you." She says laughing.

"Really? Well I'm flattered." I say probably blushing, "It's nice to meet you. So where are you from?"

"New york. My family moved here about a year ago." She replies

"I love New York, but I've only been once."

"Yeah, I know. You posted a video of the boys dancing to Taylor Swift's "Welcome to New York". She said and then bit her lip, "Sorry, that sounded creepy."

"No, that's fine." I say honestly. I've had to get used to this kind of thing, I just didn't expect to have to deal with it in Korea. "I completely forgot about that. Wow this is so cool, I didn't expect to meet anyone here who knew the channel."

"I'm just happy to meet you! Oh and I have to ask," she says and then blushes a bit. "Does Leo's hair really smell like marshmallows?"

I clutch my forehead and laugh. "Yes it, for some reason beyond my knowing, it really does smell like marshmallows." I say looking up again.

"So what do you do?" I ask

"Oh I work at a boutique, feel free to stop by anytime."

"Ohh yeah, thanks. Since moving here my cousins have made me redo my entire wardrobe."

"So it's true: they made you leave everything behind?" she asks with wide eyes.

"Yup: clothes, shoes, jewelry, and worst of all Cookie." I sigh.

"I don't know how you do it! I don't think I could leave my dog." She says and wraps an arm around me.

"Thanks, yeah it's really hard. But coming to the store sounds great!"

She gives me the address and we then take the time to trade socials and phone numbers, during which I remember the boys, who have been watching us gush with mixed facial expressions, ranging from: shocked, curious, and amused.

Gathering myself up again, I bow to the boys and thank them for inviting me.

"Of course, why don't you sit down." Namjoon gestures a hand toward a seat, but Kate grabs my hand and sits me down next to her instead, with Yoongi on my other side. It's nice to have a girlfriend again.

( an- by girlfriend I mean: friend who's a girl)

The dog is introduced as well: Yeontan or Tanni, who is just the sweetest little dog. At first he takes second when I sit down but then leaps into my lap and begins to sniff me from top to bottom. And as a dog lover and owner, I love every bit of it! It's nice to be around dogs again, although I can't help but think of Cookie.

So you're Jin's soulmate right?" I ask Kate, once Tanni has settled down in my lap for a nap.

"Yeah, we met a few months ago." She replies leaning back into Jin's shoulder.

"And do you speak Korean?"

"I'm still learning."

"Oh well I can help you if you want."

"That'd be great! But you've got family here right? So you're probably a lot better than I am."

"Ohh that's fine. There's always more to learn, and I'd be happy to help you. I haven't been around any girls lately who aren't family." I say a bit sheepishly, still stroking Tanni's soft fur.

"OMG SAME!!! I need a girl to talk too! And this is great because you're American!"

"YES!! I haven't been able to share any of the funny tiktok or memes that I've found lately because no one wouldn't get it!"

"EXACTLY!! Did you see that one that was about that old saying from middle school about girls and boys?" she asks bolting upright.

"Girls are sexy made out of pepsi..." I say and she jumps right in,

"Boys are rotten made out of cotton."

"Girls go to college to get more knowledge."

"Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider."

"CRISS CROSS APPLESAUCE I HATE BOYS!!" we finish together, squealing and hugging each other.

AN:

LMAOO please don't hate me!

I added this in after seeing a tiktok with this in it!! 😂

Anyways.... Kate watches IRL!!

Ok, how many of you saw this coming?
