I had been fast asleep for more than three hours. I woke up and remembered everything that had happened only a few moments before. It was a bizarre blend of reality and fiction. My happiness and excitement were out of control and the remembrance of the events only made my insides squeal.

I arrived here five days ago after learning about the fan meet in Seoul. I fought with my family for the past 5 years because I had a dream of meeting these 7 gorgeous men. It was now or never, so I made the decision to travel to Seoul.

I was aware that I might not be able to see them, but what if I never tried? I took my passport, some money I had been saving, and a few clothes because I knew I would be back soon. And finally, I was with them. For a few minutes, these thoughts kept me occupied until my stomach began to growl. I was starving and it made me pout.

I stood up, groaning at the pain, and was ready to get out of bed, leaving the room when I suddenly became aware of my appearance. I wasn't at home, but I was with my dream boys. Hence, I went to the bathroom and cleaned my face with my right hand, which was a little uncomfortable. I got ready and went outside, hopping with my right leg while being cautious.

I was amazed after seeing the place. When I exited the room, I noticed the dining and living room, as well as the kitchen. There was a room next to the kitchen with a nameplate that read 'STORE ROOM.'

There was an entrance and a shoe cabinet beside the storeroom. I noticed 'TAEHYUNG' written on my room door as I was closing it. I was taken aback when I emerged from Taehyung's room. To be honest, the place felt like a fantasy, as if I was in heaven.

After looking around, I found three familiar faces in the kitchen: Jin, Yoongi, and their little helper, Jungkook.

I had always known Jin and Yoongi were fantastic cooks. But now I could actually taste their meal and the thought alone made me feel lucky and blessed. When Jungkook noticed me, he hastily placed his knife down with his cute bunny smile.

He dashed over to me. "Please, allow me," he spoke cutely, extending his right hand in front of me as if requesting mine. I started blushing because I felt like he was proposing to me. (After all, who wouldn't if this happened to them?) He lightly placed his left hand on my waist after I offered him my right hand. 

"I'm concerned, you'll lose your balance and fall," Jungkook stated as he dragged me carefully.

"Gamsahabnida," I let out shyly.

He smiled when he heard me speak Korean in the same broken but adorable manner in which he had been speaking English.

He smiled again which made his two front teeth peek out cutely, making me blush. He helped me sit on the chair and took out his phone to message someone.

Within 10 minutes, all of the members exited their rooms and were seated at the table one by one.

I sat in the middle of the table as if I were the head of this family (BTS). Namjoon was on my left, followed by Jin, Hobi, then Yoongi. Jungkook and Jimin were to my right. Next, one of the chairs was left empty. Taehyung, to my astonishment, sat on the exact opposite side of the table from me.

I felt as close to him as if he was right in front of me, but also as far away as that long, never-ending table separated us. I pouted unknowingly seeing him staring blankly. However, when Yeontan joined us, I smiled.

For a few moments, there was nothing but silence. We couldn't stop staring at each other until Namjoon finally broke the tension.

"So, Jia, tell us a little bit about yourself. We need to know so that we can assist you because you will be staying with us from now on." Namjoon uttered, smiling as politely as I had seen him smiling in front of the cameras.

Thousands of thoughts raced through my mind. Is it better if I tell the truth or not? What if my mother had already revealed something to them? I had no idea what she said when they talked. I couldn't lie.

I finally decided to respond to the leader. "Well, hello guys! I'm Jia! I'm from India and I'm 25 years old. I had only been in Seoul for 5 days when I heard about the fan meet."

Taehyung was shocked as if the sudden revelation was too much for him. He couldn't help himself from asking, "Whose fans are you going to meet? Was it ours?" I giggled at his broken English. I could clearly see how hard he was trying to converse with me and his deep voice was injurious to my heart.

"Yes, indeed. I am a huge BTS fan. For the past 5 years, I've been a fan of you and your music. You guys were extremely helpful in every way. You all inspire me and make me want to pursue my dreams. Without you, I couldn't picture my life." I responded and glanced around the room, only to notice all the eyes on me.

Jimin cleared his throat to grab my attention as he spoke, "So you came here only to see us?" His wide gentle eyes shone as he stared at me curiously.

"Hey, Stob it! Let her finish." And that was how Jin grabbed all our attention towards his dramatic self when he yelled, making us all laugh.

I felt so lucky to have had the opportunity to hear Jin's most famous 'Stob it'.

I just smiled looking at their curious eyes that were fixed at me. They waited for me to finish, which I did.

"Yes, I came just to see you guys. My family was well aware of how insane I was for you. I had a small argument with my parents because I wanted to come here and they were hesitant because it was a completely different and unfamiliar place for me. They didn't want me to come here all by myself, but I did."

Hoseok gave a dubious look. "However, I can't recall your face. Did you attend the fan meet?" His tone was curious and his brows knitted, as he continued to look at me.

Taehyung spoke as soon as Hoseok stopped, "I'm not even sure if I saw you." He glanced at me with stern look. I assumed he must be doubting me and his gaze broke my heart. What if my bias hated me or perhaps took me as a Sasaeng?

I responded in a timid voice. "I arrived at the venue, but all of the tickets were sold out. It was also a little expensive and I couldn't afford."

They could see that I was embarrassed as I let out the truth. I gulped, glancing down at my lap and I began fidgeting my fingers.

Jungkook noticed the sad look on my face. He quickly changed the topic in order to not make me feel embarrassed. "Anyway, you had the opportunity to meet us. So don't get too worked up over it. Our Armies are very important to us and you are one of them." He flashed a grin as his gentle gaze was fixed at me.

Jimin understood what Jungkook did there. He gave a nod and agreed to Jungkook as he spoke politely. "Yes, indeed. That is correct. Now smile." He encouraged me to smile as he flashed his wide smile that made his eyes disappear.

I was overjoyed at their beautiful words of consolation. At the same time, hearing, 'I was important because I was an ARMY,' made me upset.

Taehyung suddenly interrupted my thoughts. He wanted to know what had happened and how I had saved his son, Yeontan. I quickly responded to him.

"I was talking to my mother when I noticed this adorable puppy. I recognized him, but I never suspected he was Yeontan. He was running so fast that he ended up on that busy road. To protect him, I threw away all I had, but I failed to notice that a car was approaching us. I'm not sure what happened after that."

Yoongi interrupted as if he had something serious to talk about. "We'll get back to these things later. Jia, what kinds of foods do you enjoy?"

I quickly bit my lower lip and replied with an apologetic smile. "Sorry guys, but I'm a vegetarian."

Jin waved his hand, dismissing my thoughts. "Don't apologize. Everything will be taken care of by us." His tone was confident and it brought a smile to my face.

"Yes, we will try and take care of you like you are one of us. So, don't worry much. We'll all look after you." Jungkook spoke enthusiastically with a wide smile.

And I was on cloud 9. One of them? That was so sweet of him.
