TH : I-

He, attempting to say something, was interrupted by his manager informing that the set was ready for him.
It was awkward for me to sit in the makeup room with all strangers, so I decided to go after him.

From a corner, I watched him have the photoshoot after he changed into their concept clothes.

My hidden gaze was rooted on his visuals- his overflowing charm and demeanor tickling my heart weirdly.

After the shoot, he located me very easily in the midst of many people as he started erasing the length that distanced us.

I felt a sudden nervousness crippling my body in anxiety of the increasing closeness between us.

TH : (-calmly-) Can you join in for Jae Hyung's birthday party? He is really excited for you to come today. (-smiles-)

For a moment, I was caught off balance from my thoughts as his soft tone reached my senses- completely opposite to the way I assumed his character to be from the time I conversed with him, bold with typical celeb-royalty conduct.

Contrarily, after the shoot, he sounded rather warm with effortless sophistication and humble aura swirling around him in pure bliss. My thought process halted for a moment to register them in right columns.

ME : (-nervous smile-) Uh-..H-how can I-

TH : (-cutting me off-) He seems to be really fond of you, please don't say no. (-slight pause-) If you can't, then let's say we will plan the vacation on our way. It will be a part of your job that way. (-smiles-) Is that fine?

His humble insistence won against my apparent rationality at that point.

ME : (-a little hesitant-) O-okay!

TH : (-smiles gratefully-) Thank you so much. But, can you wait for 5 minutes, we'll leave for the party then?

ME : Sure, I will wait outside. (-smiles-)

He gave me a smile-nod and headed in some other direction opposite to his make-up room.

I walked out of the set waiting for him to come out only to see whole BTS coming along with him.
Atypical of a Korean drama having numerous Male leads flavoring the vicinage with their polished elegance and poise, they walked sprinkling royalty through the air in a slow pace.
I pulled up the dropped jaw of mine at my over dramatic imagination of a scene, that was very simple and ordinary. An admirer could still call it, naturally aesthetic- me lowkey being one.

They came to me as I greeted them with a formal bow courteously.

A queer feeling gripped me seeing them give me a suppressed stunned look without any verbals. I gulped and looked down rewinding if I said anything wrong.

TH : Let's go kimch-.. Uh-...I mean kim Jae Ra-ssi. (-emphasizing Jae-)

ME : (-pointing at my car on my left-) Oh, I have my car, I will follow you.

TH : But, we have to talk about the vacation, right?

ME : (-realizing-) Ahh~~! Okay. I'll leave my car here then.

TH : There's no need for that.

He turned around looking for someone while most of them- except the one same aged- proceeded towards one of the two vans parked in a line, few steps away from us.

Finding the suitable person, he asked of him to drive my car behind us to the party venue. While the former was on that, Jimin-ssi stole brief glances at me off and on- both awkwardly persisting our silences.

Taehyung- ssi returned stretching his right palm to me. I followed his actions and fixed my eyes at his forwarded hand. My temple creased in brief recollections of a similar happening.

* * *

??? : (-forwarding his right hand-) Kimchi, just hold my hand, and I'll never let go of yours.

* * *

I was snapped right back at the reception of Taehyung-ssi's voice from the present time making me look at him.

TH : (-hand still in that position-) Car keys?

I nervously took them out from my bag and handed the keys to him. I avoided eye-contact, anxiety exciting my nerves in a quiver.

My head ached a little and I was trying not to think about the vague image I perceived seconds ago for I dreaded the consequences it might prospect.

"Who was that, what was the situation like? GOSH! Why can't I see the faces?" I wondered nevertheless, vulnerable to the fragments of memories. I had a slight flinch when Teahyung-ssi called my name a little louder than his usual volume.

TH : Jae ra-ssi! (-worried expression-) Are you okay?

ME : (-shaky voice-) Y-yes! (-nervous smile-) I am fine, let's go. (-walks to their car-)

On the way, Jimin-ssi stared at me with a feel of fascination in his eyes sitting on my left while Taehyung-ssi sat across. I grew conscious if something in me bothered him.

ME : Is anything wrong? (-nervously looking at Jimin-ssi-)

JM : (-blinking rapidly-) Uh-...No-...nothing. (-looking away outside-)

TH : (-drawing my attention-) So, I would like to go to nature-vivid sights more.

Quickly getting my notepad, I took a note on his likes and dislikes about the entire package- sightseeing, food choices and time preferences during the day for better convenience.

By the time, we were done with the talk, the car halted and a beautiful outdoor decoration on my right took over my view as we got off the car.

TH : (-looking at me-) Please. (-asking me to go in with him-)

Nodding slightly, I went along with him and Jimin-ssi, both on my right. I walked with my mouth slightly open at how calm and classy everything looked.

Distracted by something hitting my foot, I stopped walking further. Only to find it the same remote control car that I had bought for Jae hyung.

A smile crept up my lips as I quickly looked up to locate Jae hyung in the proximity only to find him running towards us with the remote in his small hands.

JAE HYUNG : Emoooo!! You came! (-bright smile-)

ME : (-nodding-) What did I tell you? I would definitely come. (-small grin kneeling to his height-)

Taehyung-ssi squatted to his son's height after and the latter gave him a bright smile.

JAE HYUNG : Appa!

TH : Say, "thanks for coming Emo".

He, with a serious nod, turned to me as he formally bowed in regards.

JAE HYUNG : Thank you so much for coming, Emo. (-sweet smile-)

ME : Aigoo~ Happy birthday! (-cutely-)

JAE HYUNG : (-sheepish grin-) Thank you. (-cute accent-)

He hesitantly walked to me and placed a quick peck on my left cheek leaving me in absolute awe.

ME : (-bright smiles-) Aww... thank you so much for that.

JM : (-chuckles-) Yah, Jae hyung-ah, you have learnt a lot from your Uncle Jimin, huh?

We laughed at the blushing cheeks he was transpiring into. He, embarrassment taking him over, hugged his Dad wanting to vanish in his embrace.

JM : Yah come here. (-tickling Jae hyung off his Dad's arms-)

Jimin-ssi took Jae hyung sitting him around his shoulder while the ever so well known box-grin flashed on Taehyung-ssi's face as he watched them walk away.

I felt a tickle in my heart to see him finally smiling with genuineness in his eyes. The blues in his brown orbs however, strangely moistened mine- the former having a dark dominance over his gradient bright smiles.

Unconscious, I didn't realize when my eyes had begun to visually embrace his soft sun kissed features yet not having enough. It further intrigued my curiosity to explore the illicit foreign man throning himself all over my wonder and fantasy.

We were still on our shrunken heights when a certain figure outlashed on the moment, shadowing him. It brought a slight disappointment to my heart and a small wrinkle to my temple before I looked up at the cause only to be struck pale at its perception.

??? : (-looking at me-) Who are you?

_________

I think you can already guess who is this "???" this time.

Next chapter is like the heart of the fanfiction.

So, Idk.. maybe look forward to it(?)
