Heartstrings||Kim Seokjin||

Book Fair

Walking her way to the book fair with Hana, Mira was surprisingly excited. She had gotten over yet another rejection and was now more hopeful than ever that she would get inspiration and finally figure out what was wrong with her book. "You're looking happy today" Hana chuckled as she looked over at her friend's enthusiastic state. "Well yeah I just know it in my gut that something good will happen today." Hana just nodded in response happy for her friend

Mira began humming her favourite song- Spring Day by the group BTS. Music had always been something that inspired Mira to move towards her dreams. In fact, it was the very reason she decided to pursue a career in literature.

She was not one to prefer a certain genre of music. However, recently, she has been particularly attracted to BTS. Their songs have meaningful lyrics that she can relate to and rely on for support. Their messages are beautiful, and they have a huge influence on the world, including herself. Though all the members of the supergroup have beautiful voices, one angelic voice had a greater impact on her. His voice filled her soul and gave her goosebumps every time she heard it. The artist namely Kim Seokjin had vocals that would save her from drowning in the deepest waters and gave her wings to fly.

However, she rarely focused on their faces. She had seen BTS on TV from time to time but never really bothered to associate the names with the faces. Sure, all of them were definitely good looking but she found their music and lyrics more attractive.

Upon reaching the fair Mira looked around for anything that even faintly whispered inspiration. She walked over to the romance novels stalls and began reading the first page of 'The Fault in Our Stars'. Having heard of its greatness, Mira bought the book and sat down on a bench, exhausted. She looked around and saw Hana talking to an older looking woman in the law stalls. Understandable since Hana worked in a law firm and was a very successful lawyer herself. A few stalls to the left of Hana were two tall men who looked vaguely familiar. Mira didn't bother to look into it and continued her work.

She opened the first page and immersed herself in the plot and characters. A quarter way through the book Mira began spiralling. John Green had described the relation between Agustus and Hazel in such a beautiful way. The description of relations in her book seemed incredibly dull and plain compared to the book in her hand. She realised that her book lacked experience. She had never experienced love herself. Her head hurt and she crouched down supporting her elbows on her knees as she held her head.

A few minutes later, she heard footsteps approaching her. Assuming it as Hana she was about to request her best friend to go home. She stopped when she was shocked to hear a male voice. " A high and giggly girl like you should not be so low and depressed." she heard a gentle voice speak. Normally she would run from situations like this but something in the voice told her to stay. There was no doubt that the voice sounded familiar.

She looked up to the male and recognized him immediately. It was the male from the bar last night, the one with brown almond eyes.

"Oh my god! You're the one I bumped into last night. I'm so sorry I didn't know what I was doing and I was piss drunk and ugh! Oh god I'm so sorry!" She buried her hands in her face half expecting the man to scrutinize her. She jolted when she felt a hand on her shoulder and heard a light chuckle. "Ahh it's okay. I'm used to it. My dongsaengs do it all the time." Although she couldn't clearly see his face because of his mask and hat, she could tell he was smiling. She gave him a light smile as well. 

"So what's your name?" 

"Han Mira. Yours?" 

"Ahh just call me J for now" she felt him smile through his mask. 

"Where do you work Han Mira?" Mira let out a scoff and glared at the man.

 "Are you stalking me now?" "Uh N-no not a-all. I was just trying to make conversation." Mira laughed at the flustered state of the man and replied- "Okay then kind sir I am a telemarketer at a company that sells rugs. Here is my card. What about you? What do you do...uh J?" She asked as she handed him the business card. "I'm a singer." "oh really? sing for me then." The male began singing Jin's part in 'I Need You'. 

That is when Mira's jaw dropped almost touching the ground. She knew that voice all too well and had spent half of her adult life memorizing it. 

"J-Jin? As in Kim Seokjin? As in Kim Seokjin from BTS?!" 

"Yep! The very one" Jin let out a throaty laugh. Mira did not dare to move, too startled to even make a sound. That's when Mira heard her name being called by her best friend. 

Mira got up to walk towards Hana when she heard something that startled her even more. "We'll meet soon Han Mira." Jin said as he watched her turn around to give him just another glance before leaving.
