"So...you're an idol?" You ask again to confirm what you've just heard from the boy, said person now seated directly in front of you. You were trying to grasp the whole situation. You had never imagined in your whole existence that you would actually meet one in the flesh.


"Yes!" He replies excitedly, "BangTan Seonyeondan! Or BTS! Please take care of me!" He bows deeply.


"You do know you're not on a music program now, right?" You can't help but blurt out, eyeing him strangely.


"Oh, yeah.." he lets out a small laugh as he awkwardly rubs the back of his head. "Sorry, I guess it's becoming a habit?" He says sheepishly.


You soon find out that there are seven of them. The other six were all resting in the same hotel room upstairs. They had just finished a fan sign event here at Ilsan and stopped by the hotel to freshen up and eat before they head back to Seoul. You also find out that his favourite food is a hamburger.


He realises that you have to wait for another thirty minutes before your driver arrives and offers to stay with you while you wait. "I need to wait for my hyungs anyway. Yoongi hyung wants another shower before we leave. He likes feeling...clean." Taehyung says, but you still don't look convinced. "Don't worry, they know I'm at the lobby." He assures you.


You think for a moment before pulling on his wrist carefully to lead him to another pair of seats. His curious eyes follow you. The both of you now hidden behind a large pillar.


It was a small gesture. You didn't have to say a word. You wanted to keep him safe.


And he understood that.


You let him stay.


He stays and he goes on to talk excitedly to you about his group. He seemed really passionate about them. You haven't heard of them though, too occupied with your work on most days, and you feel bad about it. The last few groups you fangirl-ed over were DongBangShinKi and BigBang. His eyes widen when he finds out that piece of news. He calls them legends and hopes one day, maybe just one day, his group would achieve the same.


"It's good to have dreams, you'll get there." You look into his eyes and tell him. He looks back at you, searching for any signs of untruthfulness, and finds none. He looks down and nods his head, feeling grateful at your encouragement.


He borrows your phone — well, "because manager safe keeps ours while we are on promotions." You remember him saying. He searches his group up on your phone and shows you their music videos. You remember a certain Jimin because Taehyung says they are the best of friends. You are watching the second music video now, 'We Are Bulletproof Pt.2'. He pauses the video thirty-eight seconds in to show you his gangster look and he tries to imitate it again in front of you, furrowing his brows as he looks forward fiercely. You laugh heartily. But your eyes unconsciously drift to their — or rather, Taehyung's abs on the paused screen. Okay, that's nice.


What a snack. Or meal.


Oh wait.


What were you even thinking? How could you? You proceed to mentally slap yourself.


You were ogling at an eighteen year old's abs.


The same eighteen year old who was sitting right in front of you. An arm's length away.


That's not very right.


You frown to yourself as you get lost in your own thoughts. Without even realising it, you were pouting like a sad child denied of her favourite candy.


What you didn't know was Taehyung studying your face intently while you were fighting with your own mind.






"Noona?" Taehyung's low voice calls you back to earth.
