Zui instantly regrets talking.

A weather comment? Right in a closed bathroom? Men's bathroom. Lord help her.

Taehyung and Jimin both stare at her wide-eyed. It was not a good sight to see, honestly.

"Taehyung," Jimin takes a pause, picks out his phone from his pocket, "Let's call the security." It's the first word Jimin has chosen to say. The worst part, Taehyung doesn't hesitate and is ready to head out until Zui pulls a move that makes both of them look at her.

"Wh-what do you mean?" She's blinking simultaneously, a smile still tugged—very hard on her lips. "I'm a cleaner—haha!" Her eyes move around to find the mop leaning against the wall. Her legs instantly ran towards it.

Her smile widens, "see," she shrugs, "Cleaner you know," a wink comes through with a fake laugh and both Taehyung and Jimin flinch with their eyes. Totally not seeing that coming.

"Jimin you're right—" Zui cuts Taehyung off, the mop stick slipping slightly until she grabs it back again, a hesitant smile still on her. "I-I'm a big fan. It just surprised me so I–you know tried—" she laughs, "—you know what I mean." Her legs are stammering and they absolutely don't get what she means.

But yes, Taehyung's eyes drop on the pendant hanging off her neck. It was Cartier. Real Cartier.

His eyes look up at hers, "Cleaner?" He scoffs, can't believe the lies she was spewing right now. Zui smiles with her teeth now, posture rigid, "Yes, sir."

"Right, I'm calling the security now—" Jimin is just about to call them until Taehyung stops him. Walks past him to Zui who suddenly wiggles in the position as he tries to come closer. Her hands slip low until he comes close enough to look down at her.

She gulps and he stares.

"What's your name?"

"Zui."

"Show me your ID."

It flusters her. "M-my Id?"

"Do I need to repeat myself, miss?" He's too intimidating to her. His stance and his aura almost eating her up right now. She's losing her breath.

"Do not tell us you don't have one." Jimin sounds off from the back and Zui glances at him and instantly back at Taehyung. Oh God. She can't handle this. "I do have it but..."

"But?" Taehyung asks, his palms resting on his hips. He's calm and poised and Zui has already started to sweat.

"But?" Taehyung raises his brows, "What?" He repeats and Zui looks at Jimin and then at Taehyung, "I-It's in my room."

Jimin comes forward, gives her a look and whispers something in Taehyung's ears as Taehyung stares at him for two good seconds until he agrees and comes back at Zui. "Alright, take us to your room."

"Huh?" Was the only sound that left Zui's mouth.

Taehyung keenly looks at her, "Look little girl," bends even further down to match her height, "–first you got a room in this costly hotel, second you're wearing a branded pendant, which means you're definitely not a cleaner and..." Taehyung is peeking inside her soul now, "You don't look paparazzi since you're not wearing any mask or unusual clothing."

Zui gulps as Taehyung locks his jaw, "We don't know what are you hiding for, but once we check your ID, we'll leave you, or if you want..." he coldly whispers, "...we can call the security on you."

"YES, PLEASE!" Zui jumps, throwing away the mop. The mop was immediately abandoned in some corner. "I-I'll escort you."

Taehyung and Jimin look at each other and give themselves a reassuring nod, moving aside for Zui to lead the way.

After they leave the washroom you and Skye finally open the door, revealing sweaty bodies with panic written all over your faces.

"They're going to our room aren't they?" Skye states, going towards the washroom door to check if it's safe to go out or not whereas you rub your temples, stressed. "Of course they are."

"They went to check whether they are more to the saesang group, for sure." She opens the door finding an empty lane, "I still can't believe this is happening."

"But why didn't they call the security?" You ask, not understanding why would they give so much time to prove herself right when they can leave the matter to the security or BigHit.

Skye holds your hand taking you out, "Maybe they don't wanna cause trouble if she was right..." she glances at you, "After all BigHit is taking serious actions these past days."

"Right." You reply, slowly walking with her towards your floor.

Although their safety was at a cost, they still didn't want her to end up in court just cause of a misunderstanding.

But the universe didn't want peace. A group of guards starts marching towards your way, "Make sure you catch them! They will still be here!"

You gasp standing outside the washroom now, suddenly taking the lead and running along with Skye towards the staircase before they could catch you two sneaking around.

The moment you rush up to the staircase you two catch sight of three people's back. One was definitely Zui–the fragile figure, two, Jimin and his blonde hair, third—Taehyung at the very back with his broad back.

Skye is at your front and you bump your face right into her back as she suddenly collides with Taehyung.

It's like a moment stopped by time as Skye is on the verge of falling, her hair falling on your face and blinding you. And in that swift moment, Taehyung turns back, catches her, his hands finding her waist, preventing her from falling down the steps.

Whereas you spit out hair and stumble against the wall behind you.

For Skye, a sharp breath releases, as her bias, Kim Taehyung's touch kicks her senses back in. Taehyung's touch, firm yet gentle pulls her close, preventing her from falling. Very naturally.

Oh heavens have called upon her arrival. She must've lived all her seven lives and this might be the fruit of her good doings—she assumes. Cause—Christ—she can feel the warmth of his large hands through the fabric of her shirt. The rhythm of his heartbeat as her hands rested on his chest.

When she looked up in his eyes, time stood still for her, each detail of him knitting inside her memory.

His eyes, dark and deep, full of emotions – surprise, concern, and something else, something she can't decipher.

She watches it happen. She notices the way his breath catches up, the slight quiver of his lips as they part in astonishment the moment he takes a glance of her.

And there's his face, so close to hers now, every contour and tiny mark of his skin visible to her in the dim lights of the hallway. And he smells so good.

Hell—it's not even his features that give her away but it's the way he holds her, with a tenderness she can't express. It feels safe, comforting, and protected from the chaos of the world. And in that moment nothing else matters.

As for Kim Taehyung, who's encountered his fair share of beautiful women, never has been struck by someone quite like her.

He's gone for good. Captivated by the delicate features that grace her face - the way her dark raven shaded—bangs–fall across her eyes, the soft curve of her upper lip, the innocence that shines through in her gaze.

It's not every day that he can witness this. His heart is pounding in his chest as she grabs him close. He feels the warmth of her body against his.

Oh, he can't help but notice the way her outfit clings to her curves, a suit at that. A little reminder of something he'd like to wear. From the sleek lines of her coat to her waist she gives such an elegance that it leaves him mesmerized.

Not only the appearance is what gives him in but it's the look in her eyes, a raw honesty that draws him in like a moth to a flame.

He sees the traces of innocence mingled with a hint of mischief, a combination that just makes him more intrigued.

Amidst the chaos and confusion, you being the only sane person after getting hit on your head, mind racing with urgency and quick decision making—you instinctively grasp the hands of both of your friends, your focus on escaping as the guards come closer.

In swift motion you rip Skye apart from Taehyung's grasp, your heart beats at a crazy pace, while you run away with them. Successfully escaping.

The moment you all disappear Taehyung remains frozen in his position. His mind struggling to comprehend the current situation. Beside him, Jimin who's standing in disbelief, questions hanging in the air for him.

As Taehyung is still processing everything a group of guards pull up, their footsteps echoing in the entire hallway.

"Sir—sir have you seen a suspicious girl around?"

Taehyung's attention is taken by the camera held in his hand. "Suspicious girl?" He questions and the guards provide him with a little information about her glance that exactly matches with the girl that he held in his arms a few moments ago.

"What are you gonna do after catching her then?" He dares question that only to learn that they are going to report it to the authorities.

And before Jimin is so ready to give them the information they need, Taehyung intervenes. "I think they escaped out through the gate." His hand reaches out to get the broken camera, "Also I'd like to have this."

The guards take a gulp. Jimin is completely confused by his actions.

Giving them a charming smile, he takes the broken camera. Offers to them that he will handle the situation by himself and they hesitate a little.

"Did you all have dinner?" Taehyung's question takes everyone's attention.

"Huh?"

He digs his pocket taking out his credit card, "It's my treat." He smiles handing over his card to one of the guards who hesitantly takes the card.

"The pin is written behind. You'll must be tired working and everyone needs to refresh, don't they?"

All the guards instantly blush.

"Have fun and don't stress over this incident. I'll talk with my manager." He sweetly says as all the guards do an instant bow feeling excited and happy at the same time, "THANK YOU!"

Taehyung laughs, "Take care, okay?" And yes Jimin, "Shall we?"

Jimin can't believe what he just pulled but plays along. "Sure." Walks through the hallway in need of getting more knowledge as to what made Taehyung change his mind entirely.

You, Skye and Zui breathlessly reach your suite. Heart not quickening anytime soon. You all are exasperating. Catching your breath.

"Ah-Why-" Zui rests her palm on her knees glaring at you, "Why did you take us away?"

Pressing your hands on your chest, you gulp down your saliva. "The guards were–" you exhale heavily, "–coming to that lane." You wipe off your sweat pointing at them, "We all could've got caught."

Zui groans standing straight, "You do know they have evidence of our camera, right?" She looks at Skye who is still breathing heavily. Her palms clenched around her heart. Eyes tight shut.

"We were going to get caught either way. But I figured out..." She glances at you, "... if they could see our ID cards we could get the camera back and be proved not guilty."

You rest your palms on your hips, standing against the wall groaning in agony, "God—but in that moment I had no choice!"

Zui leans against the doorway knocking on the door with her knuckles, "Of course we..." she shuts her eyes, "...we didn't." Gives in.

The door of your suite swings open, revealing Woori. "Do you know what just happened..." She looks at you three, her face half sad-half happy.

Zui shakes her head, hands clutching around her stomach, "Bet it's nothing compared to what just happened to us."

Woori frowns and opens the door to let everyone come in. "Do tell me if it was a life and death situation." You all three get in, and Skye immediately crouches down on the floor. Palms covering her face. She was still in the shock of it.

You and Zui take a seat at the bed. Lie down.

Woori sits next to you, and Jiwoo comes into the room only to get disappointed witnessing no food. "Yah—I was waiting for the food." She flops down too. "Also, you missed a Nam-Kook live."

Woori nods her head at that, "Exactly." Pouts, "You missed it while bringing food which you couldn't really bring."

"We have a very valid reason." You mumble, softly, "And
I'm sure you're not even going to believe me if I say it out loud."

Skye is still sitting with her knees crossed against her chest. Face hidden beneath her chest.

"Also, what's up with her?" Woori feels something is off, her sixth sense slowly kicking in. "Where is her camera?" She meets your gaze, "Did she break it?"

You shut your eyes, and drag your palms against your face. "That was just the beginning."

Jiwoo scrunches her brows, curious, "Beginning of what?".

"Us bumping into BTS."

They stare at you for a good two minutes. Woori blinks very slowly, "I don't think I heard you right, repeat." She requests and you sigh, nod to yourself, "I know it's hard to believe but it's the truth."

Sitting upright Zui grabs one of the pillows, and sits properly, eyes on both Woori and Jiwoo. "BTS are staying in this hotel and we happened to bump into them and it was not really a good cute-meet."

"More like a ground-camera-breaking meet." You admit.

Their faces show signs of confusion. They obviously can't believe what is up until very slowly you and Zui explain the situation clearly. Their minds blowing mid-conversation. Jaws open and hands covering their mouths.

Camila long slept wakes up listening the entire conversation, because of the chaos happening. "Alright—chill." She yawns, "You're making it worse for Skye." She exclaims, thinking of what Skye thinks of this situation.

She's sitting timidly. Her arms wrapped around herself. hasn't spoken a word since then. Everyone in the room is waiting for her to speak up.

Gaining a little courage, Skye peeks up through her arms, cheeks tinted red. Fingers tightly clutching white. Her lips part and the first word that comes out of her lips is, "He was so handsome."

You're all taken aback.

"He's gorgeous, a Greek God, a man I'd worship until I die..." her breath is uneven. "I can't yet come to terms that I was–" her fingers come closer together, "—this close to him."

Everyone groans, hands-on forehead and silent screams. None can believe it has happened either.

"But now what—" Camila straights herself, legs folded, "the camera is gone, what do you think will happen?"

It wasn't a situation where you all had to panic. None were guilty. There was no harm intended.

"It's alright." Skye whispers, "I'll buy a new one." She was saddened, thinking how the memory card had been lost with it too but again it was worth meeting her bias. In person. Having him catch her in his arms.

Actually, it was more fruitful and she can never come to forget it. It was like a dream come true.

+++

The next morning when all of you woke up for breakfast you headed downstairs only to see loads and loads of security, reporters and camera flashes near the entrance of the hotel.

Everyone gathered on the ground floor, so you all rushed downstairs too to see the scene unfold before your eyes.

"Shit—they're real." Woori has glossy eyes, and her heart feels all kinds of things. When her bias Jin waves at everyone gathered, she can't help but cry. You pat her back and pull her closer. The crowd cheers for them very loudly.

Camila is waving back with enthusiasm, her bias Hobi laughing after catching her sight.

You glance over Jimin who is posing for the camera, his sunglasses on and little glances over armies yelling out his name.

Whereas Skye is silent. Staring at Taehyung who is laughing with Namjoon about something he joked about. Still can't believe that person who means everything to her was super close to her last night.

All of your friends come closer and smile among yourself to have experienced this event. Being truly grateful for it to happen.

And everything was good, normal, too noisy but suddenly the time stops and silence spreads around for you all as one head from the crowd directly looks towards your side.

In search of someone.

A tender smile at the end of his lips as soon as he finds her.

And when the crowd moved, his face came into view and where he was only looking at.

The one and only Skye.
