Fate. That was what they called fate. It was fate that he would be there just at that second, fate that I was there too. Fate that all of this happened.

It all started when I moved to Seoul, Korea for college. Being half Asian, OF COURSE, I knew BTS. Stanning since I was twelve, I loved them with all my heart. I had even earned the nickname 'Worldwide Beauty' at school!

My bias? Jungkook. It had always been him.

And of course, like every other girl in the world, I dreamed of dating him. Dreamed of being the girl he loved just like he was the one I loved.

So at 18, I went to Seoul for college. I was in medical school, although my dream was to become an actress, model, and singer.

Finally earning enough money, and borrowing some from my parents, I had bought my dream home, a loft apartment! But trust me, it was not easy. I had lived in some dangerous places in my younger years, so just to be safe, I looked up the apartment complex and district online to see. I found that it was a high-class building in an expensive district and that the former owner of my apartment had given me a HUGE discount. Knowing that I would be safe living there, I moved in the next week.

There was a cafe near the complex as well, and shopping places everywhere. I often went to the cafe to cool down after a long day. 

But that's not the real story.

On one of many shopping days, I crossed the street in Myeong-Dong and passed a man in a denim jacket, with a dark mask and a blue hat on his head. He kept his head down as he weaved through the crowd, stepping carefully. But as I passed him, one of the buttons on his jacket caught onto a buttonhole on mine, and we both had to turn to look at each other. My bracelet that I always wore, with a bell on it, jingled as I turned and looked into the eyes of this stranger. I saw his eyes smile as he looked back at me.

" Why does he look so familiar?" I thought, but shook the thought away as we untangled ourselves, apologizing profusely. Then we nodded at each other and continued on our way. As I walked away, though, I felt someone's eyes looking at my back as I disappeared into the crowd.
