I'm Julia. Julia Montenegro. The name they've given me. I'm 24 years old. I'm an orphaned, I had no chance to live within a happy family. I never knew my parents. I ignore whether I have sisters or brothers. All I know is that I have been transferred from an orphanage when I was still a baby. I don't wanna know about my story, why I have been there, just the thought of it kills me. I have never been adopted. I think nobody seemed to be interested in me. But I luckily overcame all of this. Nowadays, I'm just contenting about what I currently have. First and vital, my job as a journal editor. Secondly, my small flat. Thirdly, unlimited internet. Fourthly, my writing. Last but not the least and of course my Bangtan boys from Korea the boys band BTS. I have never met them but I know I love them so much through their music and videos. Their songs are enough to make me happy in this unenviable life of mine. I'm a die hard fan of these beautiful lads, not since their debut but few moments after I saw them on TV crying while receiving an award. I started to follow them on social media like instagram, twitter and tiktok. Few months after, I fell in love with each one of them. They became my number one obsession. I dedicate my life to them, stream every single videos they release as much as I can. They are individually so talented, funny, loving, handsome, authentic, natural, and so true. I knew these guys are sincere in what they are doing. They helped me to count on my self. To love me more despite what I've been through. To show off from my darkness side and live a bit more in a bright light where I can demonstrate what I have, and that is what I'm trying to do at the present. I have no preferences, all of the members seem so cool for me, they all have interesting personalities and characters. They are a combination of happiness and a bit of sadness at the same time. I'm not picking a favorite but Jimin caught me the most. His shyness which is the same for me. In paradox with his boldness plus his kindness. His unique vocal. His sexy dancing and amazing performance. His cute mortal smile and laugh. His mental which tends to weak sometimes reminds me of myself. Now when I get down, this is what I do, I just watch some clips of them or documentaries episodes and it takes for me like 40 minutes to feel good again😂. One thing that I am sure of is, I know I will never regret to be in this fandom.

I have successfully graduated from the Queen Mary University of London here in the England despite my situation. I got master's degree in English literature. I was given a scholarship there. Yeah apart from my lamentable life, I have been an ace and a smart student. When I finished my studies, I have chosen to work in a journalism paper, the Southwark Gazette. I'm an editor where I can fully practice my skills of writing which I love very much. I hide through an anonymous name in my articles in the papers that I wrote but it concerns about everything in daily life. I do not only write papers but also checking mistakes or mispronunciation in some articles before its publishing. My writing papers can be about crimes, violences, loves, celebrities, wars... The most important is that I have to catch people's attention by sharing my opinions without offending others feeling. What I love the most in this job is that I am an off agent which is good for my shyness and introversion problem, I can express my feelings freely instead of for example those reporters who represent it directly on TV. I have plenty times work schedule and a short break. With the salary I got, I can feed myself and allow me to have a  normal Londoner life.

Every morning when I went to work, I used to take the same bus. The same road. And to meet different people. Some are occasional and some are very often seen. Only the weather changes sometimes because here it's almost raining everyday. I always take the Thames bridge to reach my work office. It's located in Southwark. My editor in chief is really strict about lateness and taking the way from the bridge by bus is quite far but I don't like taking the train even it's the fastest. I manage to wake up very early in the morning to get there at time. I love when the bus comes to the bridge because I love watching at people walking down the street looking very busy and focused on their way. The aesthetic effect that comes out are all caught up through my camera. It serves as memories. Memories I can feel whenever I look at them. It envelopes the moment I've passed there. The dynamic change of people as well the place itself. In brief, in addition to writing, photographying is also another way of conveying what I feel.

Watssup guyzzz! Here is Helen from your favorite radio station...As you already know the Kpop famous boys band named the BTS...

Suddenly heard this name awaken me up from my sleep at...my office. I realize that I did nothing. I didn't check any of the papers that I have been assigned to do. The boss will be furious now and rebuke me. I put off my earphones and rush to the documents on my table. I hope I will make it. At 11a.m, I finally made it and fortunately there were no supervisors who pass through to inspect my performance because I'm still under supervision. I was hired recently. Maybe these papers are no much importance. I stand up and give it to them.
"Here are your papers" I said ceding it to the supervisor.
" Ok thank you. You can have a break." She just smiles. I do the same.
It is true that during months in this journalism firm, I have not yet shared a tight relationship with any of workers there. I just get to know them each other every day. Nobody hates me but not everybody appreciates me. I am a good worker, I take this job seriously because from now on I am the only one I can count on to provide what I need in life.
I go out. Reach my usual burger restaurant next to the office. I order the same menu.

Now that I remember there was an announcement on the radio about the BTS but I immediately cut it off when I knew I was in a mess. I'm going to watch it in my mobile. There are same blablaa. Ok I know they will come here but what's next, again blablaa ok ok I'm on it.
"For those lucky fans who will successfully be selected can win free tickets for a close show with the bands onstage!"
Oh my God Oh my God! The fan girl in me starts to araise out. I need to try my luck! I tell to myself like an excited baby to drink his milk. If I win this ticket I may finally meet them. But when I think about it I already feel like I will lose. Anyway, I will do it. So I deal instantly what are the steps to follow to play the game. I finished doing it when my clock points on 12a.m, time to return working. I get my bag and wear my black coat.
"It's a nice sunny day! I hope it will bring me chance to win the ticket!" I say looking up to the blue sky with the sun kissing my forehead.
