[NOTE: The dream that I would be sharing here has helped me come up with the storyline of my first book- IT'S GONNA BE YOU. Mind well, this would contain some spoilers. So read this only if you have read that book or have no intention to read that book (if you haven't). Also, I modified this dream while writing the book. Some things didn't make sense and since I wrote a book, I had to think like a writer. For those who read that book, remember the character Lee Soojin whom Jia met in the park? Well, in my dream it was Bogum. But I thought I should rather keep that character fictional instead of Bogum. So if you find Bogum's name in this, don't get confused. Lee Soojin was inspired by the Bogum of my dream.]

I saw this dream before COVID-19. In short, some 3 years ago. And this dream continued after some days. I saw this dream in two parts- first the initial part and second when Bogum enters. I saw both these dreams on different nights (I'm mentioning this in advance because I won't mention it later on as it would disrupt the flow). So yeah, let us start.

I was talking with my mom over a call. She was yelling at me and asking me to go back home. I went to South Korea without taking their permission. I was 24 years old at that time (in real life as well as in my dream) and so I was independent enough to travel anywhere. However, of course, I had to take their permission.

I continued to talk with her while walking near the park. The reason for me to go there was the fan signing event of BTS. But somehow I didn't know why I wasn't in the event and instead was talking with my mom.

Just while she was babbling continuously about how that wasn't our country and it wasn't safe for me to travel so far all alone, I continued to roll my eyes and glance around aimlessly as I admired the beauty of Seoul.

After a few minutes, I noticed a black and brown Pomerian dog running fast and it ended up on the road which got me worried. I quickly threw my phone and bag where I was standing and instead, rushed to pick the dog up from the busy road.

Just when I picked him up and heaved a sigh of relief, I heard a loud horn of the car. I glanced up and my eyes widened in terror. I couldn't process what exactly was happening. The car approached me at high speed and my body was frozen on the road, as if I was paralysed. I just closed my eyes and held the dog tightly in my arms and soon everything blacked out.

After some time, when I woke up, I found myself lying on the most comfortable bed. The room was really pretty too. I noticed one-half of my body was injured badly. Thankfully, my face was saved from injury.

While I was glancing around the room while still sitting on the bed, I heard some footsteps approaching the room. Not long after, I found BTS standing in front of me. Well, all the members were present and I felt like I was in heaven. 

That was when I got to know that the dog that I saved was none other than Kim Yeontan, my bias- Taehyung's one and only son (pet).

They suggested me to stay with them in their dorm as they felt that they were the reason behind my injury. And who was I to deny? I couldn't attend the fan signing so, maybe this was the fate that was decided in my dream by the dream God (just kidding LOL). 

The time I spent with them was really memorable. I loved Taehyung and I fell harder for him, but he always took me as a fan and he maintained a safe distance from me. Jungkook and Jimin, however, were very sweet to me. They made sure that I was comfortable and content. 

Taehyung used to get jealous if Jungkook flirted with me. But he would still behave rudely with me at times and I didn't know the reason behind it.

Right after that, I found myself getting better and hence, I was free to explore Seoul. One day, I went out and was strolling around the place. I somehow ended up near a park and right outside the park, the whole street was covered with different street food stalls. The street looked lively even in the broad daylight. 

I was smiling while looking at the couples enjoying their time. However, soon I noticed some teen girls running behind a man. They were yelling and asking him to stop. I couldn't really understand what was going on. But all I could notice was that the man looked really scared as he approached in my direction.

I ran towards him and grabbed his wrist before pulling him inside one of the stalls. I made sure to help him hide until the crowd of girls was cleared.

Soon, the street was peaceful and people around us were busy with their own work. The man came out of the stall and heaved a sigh of relief when he couldn't find any girls that were following him. I wanted to ask if he was a pickpocketer because I didn't see the reason why those girls were following him if not due to this reason.

I refrained from raising my queries though, because he looked like a decent man. He politely asked, "Would you mind sitting on that bench for some minutes? I'm really tired after running too much." He pointed towards the bench to our front and I nodded with a smile.

He made his way towards the bench and I followed him before sitting down. "Thank you for helping me!" He spoke gently and I smiled in return, mumbling a small "Welcome!" 

"Are you a tourist? You don't look Korean." He commented cautiously and I nodded. 

"I'm a tourist indeed. I'm from India."

His smile widened and he pulled out his hand, introducing himself. "Hello! My name is Park Bogum. Nice to meet you!" 

"Hello, Bogum! I'm Jia! Nice to meet you too!" We shook our hands and soon there was a pause. It appeared like we had nothing to talk about but the silence was comfortable too.

Just then, I got a message from Taehyung which made me roll my eyes when I read the message along the lines 'where I was.' He would always show his dominance, trying to make me obey him as if he was worried about me. But at the same time, he would speak rudely. 

Taehyung was the reason for me to take the risk of flying to South Korea without my parents permission. But he continued to get on my nerves.

"Where are you staying? Should I perhaps drop you?" Bogum's polite words pulled me from my thoughts. I bit my lower lip and contemplated if I should agree or not. After all, I didn't know the man and his intentions. But I was really far from the dorm and if I decided to walk back, it would surely take me more than 10 to 15 minutes. I just agreed and Bogum happily guided me towards his car.

After walking a little, we stood in front of a fancy-looking white car. (Of course I don't know the name but the model was somewhat like Ferrari F8). By looking at the car, I could make out that he must be rich. My jaw dropped and I looked at him with wide eyes. "Who are you?" I asked with a shocked voice.

"I'm Bogum! Didn't I introduce myself?" He spoke amusingly. 

"Yeah, I know your name. But what exactly do you do? You seem rich." I commented and he continued to stare at me with a smile on his lips. It appeared like he was observing me while also thinking about how he should answer. 

"I'm just -" Before he could respond, I got another message and this time it was from Namjoon. They were getting worried for me. I quickly cut him and asked him to drop me fast.

I didn't know the exact address but since I walked, I knew the directions. So I guided him and once we reached, he looked at me and the dorm building simultaneously with a shocked face. "Is this where you are living?" He inquired shockingly as he pointed towards the building.

I nodded my head lightly; I was nervous. What if he knew who lived here? I mean, of course the whole world knew, but what if he let it out to someone? What if my favourite boys were put in some trouble because of my carelessness?

"Thanks for dropping me!" I exclaimed and stepped out of the car. Just when I entered the building, Taehyung quickly ran out and began staring behind me. His eyes were glued somewhere behind me. When I turned around, I found Bogum and Taehyung staring at each other with different expressions. Taehyung was annoyed while Bogum was smirking.

Bogum approached me as he continued to stare at Taehyung. "Shall we meet again? Let me show you Seoul while you're still here." He spoke while standing beside me but his attention was on Taehyung. His voice had a witty tone while he spoke.

"Huh? I'll have to ask-" Before I could respond, Taehyung pulled my wrist and made me stand beside him. "That won't be needed," Taehyung responded and I was shocked when Bogum let out a hearty chuckle. I was about to let it slide but Taehyung's grip was tightening around my wrist and his face appeared like he was trying to contain his anger.

"How dare you decide on my behalf? Are you jealous that I'm making handsome friends?" I let out while trying to jerk my hand from his grip but it only tightened. His jaw clenched when I answered back in front of a stranger (I assume). He closed his eyes and spoke through gritted teeth, "YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH HIM." He emphasised every word as if he was warning me.

But I took that as a challenge. "Really? And who are you to decide? My boyfriend?" I questioned in a challenging tone with a raised brow. He opened his eyes and looked at me. "Sure, let us catch up, Bogum. Just note my number." I responded, not glancing at Bogum and instead continuing to stare at Taehyung as if I were challenging him. 

Taehyung went inside when I began sharing my contact details with Bogum. 

After Bogum went, I went inside and found everyone sitting in the drawing room. They were waiting for me. We talked and everyone got busy with their work. I was pondering about everything that had happened. 

Taehyung got jealous of Bogum. If he liked me back then why was he acting rudely? Since the time I began staying with them, I got pretty close to Yoongi. I shared about how I loved Taehyung the most. My feelings for the rest 6 members were like siblings. I loved and respected them like my siblings except for Taehyung. Everyone knew that fact and Namjoon would often tease me with Taehyung. But it was always Taehyung who would act coldly. 

A few days passed and I was waiting for Bogum to pick me up. I sat on the couch and found Taehyung eyeing me after every minute. "What? Do you need something?" I inquired when I caught him staring at me.

"Where are you going?" He inquired coldly as he continued to stare at me without tearing his gaze. 

'As if you care' I mumbled but responded, "On a date with Bogum. Got any problem with that?" I asked with a raised brow.

"Stay away from him." I got the reply instantly from him. "He is my friend. We are best friends in fact. He's trying to tease me, nothing else. So don't get serious with him. He is a flirt." He warned me but his eyes held no emotions. It almost felt like he was narrating someone else's words to me.

 "Who is he?" I asked, avoiding every word of his. I was genuinely curious because I didn't know much about South Korea other than BTS. And if Taehyung said that they were friends, he must be someone important.

"Don't you know anything about Korea? He is an actor." Taehyung deadpanned and my mouth was hanging open at the sudden revelation. Was that the reason why he had that luxurious car? Was that the reason why those girls were running after him?

Soon, we heard a car honking outside. I quickly stood up and was about to step out until a hand stopped me. I found my wrist in the same tight grip again. "Why are you being like this? Do you really wanna make me jealous by going on a date with me friend?" This time I could hear sadness in his voice, as if he was hurt. "Just... be careful." He spoke and let go of my hand. I didn't turn back, because if I did, I would have hugged him and he would have hurt me. I just walked out, closing the door behind me.

Bogum was waiting for me outside the car. When I reached him, he quickly engulfed me in a tight hug and smiled widely. I was frozen by the sudden affection. If he was a normal person, I wouldn't have felt too awkward. But now when I learnt that he was an actor and Taehyung's friend, I felt strange. 

I broke the hug gently to not appear rude and he opened the door for me to take a sit. When I glanced towards the window of our dorm, I noticed Taehyung standing there, looking at me with hurtful eyes. 

And that hurtful face of Taehyung woke me up from this dream.

The dream wasn't that long. But since I had to narrate everything properly, I explained clearly by adding appropriate words. I know this dream makes no sense. That is why I wrote the book imagining most parts. Even though I added many things to the story on my own (while writing the book), I'm still aware that this is a cliche story. Many times I feel like unpublishing that book. But I got readers from that book and many of my loyal readers got into my writing from that book. I know my writing style wasn't that great some 2.5 years ago, however, I improved myself with time. I would never unpublish that book even if I get the urge to do so. This storyline/dream is close to my heart, nonetheless.

Also, when I saw this dream, I was aware of who Bogum was. Maybe I was watching one of his dramas and that was the reason why I saw him. And if I'm not wrong, I was watching RECORD OF YOUTH drama (which I left midway after watching the first few episodes). But I didn't know who he was in my dream, and so I wrote exactly what I saw.

Thanks to everyone who read that book (It's gonna be you) and still gave me a chance. After that book, my writing journey on Wattpad was amazing and I continued to write one book after another. I'm content with my journey as a writer and I should thank my dream as well. My imaginary mind never disappoints me LOL.

Anyways, see you all with my next dream.
