(

As the afternoon sun dipped low over the bustling streets of Beijing, the energy on Tsinghua University's campus was energized with youthful vitality.

Your freshman year was the most exciting year you had at Tsinghua; it was a whirlwind of activities and emotions. You found yourself utterly drawn to join the talented softball team at the university, a commitment that required both time and dedication.

Balancing your studies with the demanding practice schedule was very challenging. The days were very long, starting with your early morning classes and ending with evening soft ball practices, but it allowed you to build close bonds with your new teammates.

"Hey, Yuqi, catch!" called out Ling, our energetic team captain, during one of your grueling practice sessions. You jumped to catch the ball, your heart racing with the thrill of the game. You just love the sport, and it kept you occupied, especially when Mingling was with her new boyfriend.

"Nice catch!" Lings' eyes sparkled as she gave you a thumbs up and grinned,"You're just getting better every day. Yuqi. Keep it up. We might need a new captain soon. You're improving rapidly. That last catch was incredible." She sat next to you on the bench.

"Thanks, Ling. It's so exhausting, but I wouldn't trade this for anything," You said it breathless, feeling a surge of pride in your accomplishments.

"Neither would I trade it. Remember, the friendships we build this year are just as important as any grade in science." Ling smirked as you nodded. She knows how dedicated you are to your studies.

The camaraderie of the team and the shared victories made every moment so worthwhile.

During this time, your close friend Mingling was dating her first boyfriend, an acting senior student. You supported her wholeheartedly, although your own romantic life was non-existent. Despite many guys asking you out on a daily basis, You politely rejected them all.

"Mingling, how's your new boyfriend, Tao, the budding actor?" You teased her, nudging her as you walked her to your next class.

Mingling cheeks flushed with crimson, "Oh, you know, he's very sweet, caring, and cute. I like him a lot. Even my parents have a liking for him. My mom has known his mom since childhood. It's my first relationship, and so everything feels...new."

"I'm so happy for you, my friend. You are glowing." You said it sincerely. "Just so you know. Remember, if he ever treats you wrong, the entire softball team and I will have a word with him. I'll strangle him with his own tongue."

She burst out in laughter and nudged your shoulder laughingly. "You and that team of yours are so scary. But thank you for having my back. I do appreciate you so much," she gave you a side hug.

Valentine's Day was a flurry of gifts and confessions, yet none of it stirred your heart. This day was filled with a cascade of gifts and attention.

The apartment lounge was filled with chocolates, cute candy boxes, balloons, bunches of flowers, and an array of cards.

Mingling, nudged you with a wide grin.

Mingling chuckled, "Look at all these gifts! You are so popular, Yuqi. Even seniors fall for your charms. You could even open a shop, " She grins when she picks up a big red heart filled with expensive chocolates.

You just smile softly, "It's so sweet of them, but... I just don't feel that spark with any of them. You can help yourself with some of the candy, and you can arrange the flowers in our apartment. It smells like a florist here."

Mingling chuckled as she picked up a bouquet with pink and red roses and smelled it, "Thats' okay. You'll know when it's the right time, but until then, let's indulge in the chocolates!"

You open up a packet of cranberry nougats. You love Nougat.

"But Qiqi, why don't you give one of them at least a chance? Go on those coffee and movie dates. You don't have to officially date them, you know?" Mingling asked, peeking at your expressionless face. Fanqia and your mom asked her to observe her daily to see if she remembered the boy she loved. But there was no recollection. Her memories about the guy were like a clean slate.

You smiled and shrugged, "I just don't feel anything for them. Mingling, maybe I'm waiting for something different. I don't know. I might sound silly, but it's like my heart is locked to love."

Mingling teased, "You're so like an enigma because all these poor guys are falling over themselves, and you don't even bat an eye." She gestured to all the gifts around the room.

You snort, "I guess I'm just not ready for that kind of distraction from these guys. Maybe I'm not really dating material."

...┍━━━━━»•»🌷 🌺🌷 «•«━┑.

You couldn't believe the constant temptation that come your way relating to the kpop world. You were walking and doing window shopping at the nearby mall, and people will give you side glances that made you feel uncomfortable.

You were constantly interrupted by agencies, even if you walked with your softball team mates, family or friends. Just minding your own business. Countless of entertainment agencies would come up to you telling you how beautiful you were and gave you business cards from their agencies.

Some say you had the look of a star. You just smirk but ignored them. You not interested in scammers.

You didn't know what to think later because your heart is conflicted between your studies and the constant desire for the spotlight.

Some even asked you to come to Shanghai and try out to be an actress.

You would just decline, telling them you are very flattered but you can't. You are a uni student and committed to your studies. But everytime you'll feel that ache in your heart as if somethings was missing. It felt as if you regret something.

"Do you know how beautiful your visuals are? You have star potential. Think about it, give this number a call, and come audition for commercials."

When you decline for the millionth time, some will try persuading you earnestly.

"You're wasting your talent and beauty; you will be a very successful actress," one agent insisted, his eyes gleaming with fervor.

You would just laugh it off, link your arms with your friends, and just respond, "I appreciate it. Thanks for your interest, but I've made my choice." You would respond, your mind drifting to the contract you had signed with your dad, committing to your education, and you couldn't break your word now. You have grown accustomed to university life, and you genuinely enjoy your courses, but it was only that scratchy feeling in the pit of your stomach that reminded you that it was not your ultimate life path.

While you often politely declined, a part of you longed for the stage, remembering your childhood dream of performing. and you couldn't break your word.

"Those dreams can wait and take the back seat," you told yourself constantly, even as your heart started to ache with every passing declined offer.

Soomin and Jiwoo were your constant pillars of support.

Soomin and Jiwoo, your very dear friends, were again concerned about rumors of you having a connection with an idol. You don't know how to defend yourself. After months, these so-called rumors still linger on social media. You just can't understand why your friends still think you are the girl connected to the scandal.

"Is it true? Did you date the idol? Why can't you just tell us the truth, Yuqi? We promise not to judge you. It is not that we doubt you, but Yuqi, we recognized some of your clothes in the images. Your honey hair was blown out straight. Some of the girls of De-N-im also have suspicions, but YG is closed-lidded," Soomin asked during a video to call you with Jiwoo next to her.

Ugh no! not again!

You felt a little frustrated as you shook your head, " Girls...is it those rumors again? Don't bring it up again, I'm begging you. You know I'd never dated especially when I'm a trainee. These rumours are seriously uncomfortable."

"Hi girl, it's just the crazy rumors again. ARMY fans are trying to find Seokjins girl and investigate the girl with him in all those images," Jiwoo said, her voice crackling through the screen.

"Rumors? Again, about Seokjin? He is so famous; why would he be interested in someone like me? It could have been any  trainee from YG or Pledis. We saw old Twitter feeds and posts..." you told them.

Your friends were looking out for you, Soomin told you in a gentle voice that she was just looking out for you.

"I hope you alright, these rumours can be rough,"she replied.

"It is okay guys, don't waste your energy on this, " you sigh deflated.

"It will be seriously cool if you're dating a famous idol." Jiwoo gushed.

"Guys it's just the rumour mill. Can you please ignore these. It can potentially ruin my uni life here. It is not true. I never dated an idol." You just shook your head.

"Okay, my friend. But seriously we just want to make extra sure, your not dating an idol behind our backs. " She comfort you," ...but you must tell us if you are dating okay?"

You just burst out in exuberant laughing," Well we will see...but you need to trust me...that will never ever happen. "

Your 19th birthday became a cherished memory. "Surprise!" Your family's voices echoed in a luxurious villa in Europe, where laughter and love filled every corner.

Your 19th birthday celebration was a glorious affair, with your entire family whisking you away to Europe for two weeks. You visited Rome, Italy, France, Berlin, etc. You explored ancient ruins, dined in quaint cafes, laughed, and were happy with your family. You, Xuanjun, and Fanqia grew closer as the youngest siblings.

"This is so perfect," you whispered to your mom as you stood by the Eiffel Tower, taking beautiful selfies.

"Happy Birthday!" they cheered as you all enjoyed a delectable dinner in the Paritian restaurant.

The joy and laughter of that trip became cherished memories, a stark contrast to the solitude, hard work, and academic stress you often felt at university.

.┍━━━━━»•»🌷 🌺🌷 «•«━┑...

The Email from Minnie

Returning from Europe, you found an email from Minnie that changed everything. She practically begged you to reconsider auditioning. You read her heartfelt plea over and over as you started feeling a constriction in your chest. Her belief in your talent and her confidence that you were born to be on stage, but the practical decisions you've made, shaped you.

Your family has always been your anchor; their expectations have been a guiding force. Yet, here was Minnie, a mere friend who was always mesmerized with you during training, reminding you again of a different path, one that you had once dreamed of fervently.

Tears welled up in your eyes, blurring the words.

"Yuqi, please, you've got what it takes. You can't let your talent go to waste. Just come and try out Cube Entertainment. It might be the place that you are destined to be. With your three years of training skills, I am sure you will ace it. You were born to be on stage. You have the talent, the voice, and the presence. Cube Entertainment is holding auditions. There's a pre-debut group forming, and I can't shake the feeling that you belong with us. Give it a shot, even just for yourself. Please, just try."

She knew about your three years of intensive training with JYP and believed in your potential. As you read her motivating and moving words, tears blurred your vision.

You were suddenly caught up in a swirl of emotions.

Reading her email in your bedroom, you felt a thick lump in your throat and warm tears rolling down your cheeks. You had trained with JYP for three years and knew the rigors of the industry, but your commitment to your family's expectations always held you back.

The door creaked open, and Fanqia found you wiping your eyes. You quickly jumped up and excused yourself, not wanting her to see your vulnerability.

"Qiqi, are you okay?" she asked, concern etched on her face as she saw you running to your bathroom, excusing yourself hastily. "Yeah, just something in my eye."

Fanqia's furrowed eyebrows showed her deep concern. She quickly peeked at the email, her eyes scanning the email from Minnie. She quickly forwarded the email to herself before quietly leaving everything as it was. She had secretly printed out the audition details, silently preparing for what might lie ahead.

Later, she found you in the kitchen, your face now a forced mask of cheerfulness, "Xuanjun wants to take us out for dinner at that exclusive new restaurant at the mall," she said, her tone sounding casual, but her eyes were searching yours, which was downcast. You smiled and nodded. Excuse yourself to go and refresh.

During a delectable dinner with Xuanjun and his girlfriend, it was a pleasant distraction. The restaurant was dimly lit, and soft classical music was playing softly in the background. You indulged in delicate dim sum, fragrant roasted Peking duck, and sweet red bean pastries, the flavors rich and comforting. Xuanjun's cheerful girlfriend shared stories of her travels to India, Maynmar, and Malaysia, making you laugh and momentarily forget the weight on your shoulders.

After returning home later, as usual, you headed straight to bed, still feeling the emotional turmoil from Minnie's email. Sleep came quickly, as your mind was still wrestling with the decision that haunted you.

┍━━━━━»•»🌷 🌺🌷 «•«━┑
......

The following morning, your heart leapt with elation as you saw your lovely grandma arriving for a surprise visit. Your house was buzzing with excitement.

The whole family gathered around the dining table for a lovely traditional Chinese dinner that you, your mom, and Fanqia prepared for herThanksgiving visit. The table was filled with steaming bowls of rice, duck, succulent stir-fried vegetables, crispy veggie spring rolls, and fragrant jasmine tea that you love so much. It was a pure scene of warmth and love, with the clinking of sterling silver chopsticks and relaxing conversations filling the air.

You were elated to be in your grandma's presence. She looked content and happy. Your grandpa and your uncle went to Berlin for a business symposium. So your grandma took this time to spend the week with her only daughter.

After dinner, you all moved to the lounge for some family time. In the warm glow of the living room, emotions ran high.

You were still basking in the joy of seeing your grandma when Fanqia cleared her throat. The room suddenly fell silent. Fanqia's voice broke through the nostalgia, her words tinged with urgency,

"I've seen how much you've sacrificed," she began gently. "I've tried for years to get you to follow your dreams. She's turned down opportunities out of loyalty to her studies and family expectations. But deep down, she wants this more than anything," she began, looking straight at you. You furrowed your brows at the sudden change in the atmosphere.

Your heart sank, knowing where this conversation would lead. You started shifting uncomfortably, starting to feel exposed and vulnerable under your family's scrutinizing gaze.

Panic tightened your chest as you glanced at your parents, "Omg, stop it, Fanqia, please," you pleaded quickly. "I've made up my mind to go to university and study in the medical field, and I gave Dad my word. I didn't debut because I was not good enough.I was eliminated legally and I understood and accepted it."

Your dad eyes were steadily fixed on your tired ones. You don't want to talk about it. He ask you if you had to choose again, what will your choice be? His face was very calculating and you wondered why he brought it up.

The pressing question was looming in the air, you were scared to meet his gaze full on. You could just looked at your family with dejection in your eyes, you didn't know what to say.

You gulp , concerned about their expectations for you," I like studying Dietetics. It really interest me, but---" there was a little hesitation in your words.

Your mom looked at you with love and understanding,she grab your small hands in hers," ---But what dear. Tell us how you feel.?" She asked with concern.
Your mind was reeling. You only have one desire, but will they let you follow your heart.

You inhaled deeply and looked to each of your families faces. You told them the truth. That you just want to be on stage, singing and performing for thousands of people. Performing makes you alive.

You regretfully apologized to your family especially your parents.

But Fanqia is not having it. She told your family it is where you belong. You won't be truly happy if you don't do what you are born to do, since you were six years old..

You excell in all your studies, but the allure of the stage was always present. A dream dormant, but never forgotten.

The atmosphere was thick in the tv lounge. Everyone was silent, thinking about what you said.

You parents told you that they want you to try again, how blind they were and they lack of support for your dreams. They ask you to forgive them and to go follow your dreams.

Your dad smile," You have to go to South Korea, go audition again. Mom and I made sure to sign all your Registration and those numerous applications forms. This whole Song family, will support you...be there for you.If you fail you know we are there for you all the way."

You were stunned as you parents reveal their support to be the for you.

Your could just cry especially when your parents embraced you and apologized for dismissing your dreams.

Even you grandma said she will pay for your flight and accommodations.

Your dad looked at you, whispering," Can you find it in your heart to forgive this family? Because of our reluctance to support you sooner."

Your mom also hugged you and told you that you deserve all the blessings in life.

They were very proud on you.

Fanqia shook her head and smiled wide, "All your friends sent you audition applications all year around. Even Jiwoo sent some from her agency. You are born to be a star, Qiqi, not a mere dietician. You hate office work."

...┍━━━━━»•»🌷 🌺🌷 «•«━┑..

You couldn't contain your tears as your family led you to the trophy room. You were shocked when your mom said, "You deserve a place in this house to showcase all your well-deserved accomplishments. You belong to this family, my baby, and you are unique."

All your certificates, trophies, and medals adorned a section of the massive room. Images of your performances covered the walls.

Xuanjun slid his arm around your small shoulders, pointed to an empty space, "There's a section waiting for your future K-pop trophies, your daesangs, your platinum albums."

You hugged all your family members, and your happiness was overwhelming. That night, you and Fanqia meticulously filled out all the application forms.

In that week, your parents informed the university of your impending absence from classes due to your upcoming auditions.

When you emailed Minnie, she was so excited for you. She can't wait to reconnect with you in Seoul again. You'll be gone for a month at most.

...┍━━━━━»•»🌷 🌺🌷 «•«━┑.

Your grandmother booked first-class flight tickets and came with you, and your mom both went with you to the auditions in Busan. You've stayed in a luxurious beach hotel during the audition.

You reconnected with Minnie during the audition, and with an open mind, you decided to give trainee life another shot. To your family's excitement, you passed all the phases of the audition in Seoul, and four girls and three boys joined Cube's trainee program alongside you.

The audition scouts were very surprised that your skills were so advanced. Your scores were so high that they immediately wanted you in the pre-debut group.

You were comfortable in your new dorm room. You were used to the rigorous training schedules, because you trained for three years at Jyp. It wasnt long when you made it into a pre debut girlgroup, called Urban Pulse. It was you, Soyeon, Shuhua, Mi-yeon and Minnie. There was immediate synergy among you and a bond grew daily,

You constantly communicate with your family. Their support was your wings. It brought you solace when things get to tough.

You were surprised about Jackson who constantly asked you out on ice cream dates. He was from GOT7.
Even if he promised discreet lunches and movie dates. You just declined politely, not wanting to lead him on.

As a debuted idol you won't be under a so -called dating ban.

You even reacquainted with your JYP friends, Felix who debut in a pre debut band called Straykids. He was like a bright light in your life.

Urban Pulse debut was a whirlwind and you had an explosive concept. It was around the urban city life, it spoke about vibrancy, energy and it had a blend of hip-hop , even contemplating pop music and urban street fashion.

Your fashion concept was edgy streetwear mixed with chic urban fashion, featuring bold, vibrant colors, accessories that made statements, and the trendiest sneakers or boots from the best designers. Your hair was dyed blonde with pinkish hues, Shuhuas hair was black, Miyeon brown ,Soyeon was short and Minnie black and platinum.

Urban Pulse music concept was upbeat tracks with a fusion of hip-hop beats, electronic music, and catchy melodies. Your music explores themes of vibrant youth culture, self-expression, and the excitement of urban living.

Your choreography concept is dynamic and powerful dance routines with elements of hip-hop, street dance, and urban freestyle, showcasing your agility, precision, and stage presence.

Urban Pulse visual concept was exciting street scenes, city live, graffiti, even in underground clubs, warehouses, on high buildings roof tops, the cities bright neon lights. Modern and urban buildings . All bright and energetic.

Your personality concept of Urban Pulse was very confident like So yeon. You and Shuhua as charismatic, street smart like Minnie and energetic like Miyeon. Each of you as members brought your unique trait to the groups dynamica. You were all independent, determined and vibrant.

Your fandom was called "Urbanites". They were the embodiment of being yourself and chasing your dreams no matter the cost.

Your reddish-blond curly hair became your signature look, and your music video made waves. Performing on numerous debut stages marked the beginning of an exciting chapter in your life. The neon purple-red lights of your first music video lit up the screens like dynamite, establishing you as the new girl force to be reckoned with.

Jiwoo and Soomin were ecstatic, and you felt a deep connection with your group members, Minnie, Mi-yeon, Shuhua, and Soyeon.

You became Cube Entertainment's most successful debut group that year. You each have your two bodyguards, your managers, your stylist, your make-up artist, and your hairstylist.

You grew closer with your band members, who became your sisters. You performed at festivals, did numerous interviews and appearances, and performed on numerous debut stages. Your ex-De-N-im group all sent you their heartfelt congratulations for your successful debut. The Urban Pulse concept fits you and Minnie like a glove.

You had eight music show wins. You were even on the same stage as Felix, who finally debuted. He was openly mesmerized by you but couldn't openly greet you based on the shipping culture.

Urbanites were the most awesome fandom that streamed your songs, and with your prolific achievements, you were nominated for Best New Female Group.

You got several nominations for the year-end 2018 Melon, MAMA, Seoul, Golden Disc, and Asia Artist Awards.

You were born for the stage, and you became one of the most popular members of the group.

Cube made sure you moved into the most beautiful house in a gated community in Gangnam-gu with five huge bedrooms.

Your house

.....

Despite hearing constantly about the highly popular BTS, you were too focused on your career to pay them much attention.

However, one day, during a rare off day, your group became so fixated on a BTS Run episode. In fact, they all had crushes on these well-known boys, who were soon to become Korea's national treasures.

Minnie likes their leader, RM, and the cute Jimin. Soyeon likes the quiet and savaged cute rapper, Suga, and wishes she could have a collab with him one day. Mi-Yeon likes handsome Seokjin and Jhope.

Shuhua is mad about V and Jungkook, whom she called Taekook.
You like the dance machine, Jhope, with his sunny smile, but every time your eyes fell on Seokjin, a deep yearning would emerge, but you suppressed it fiercely. Because you really don't know why he appeals to you so much.

It's all your friend's fault for always associating him with you because of those stupid rumours a year ago.
Luckily, U.Pulse has never asked you about those ridiculous rumors.

But nobody anticipated your emotional turmoil when your group decided one evening after rehearsal to watch a popular show called RunBTS on vlive.

When you saw a very casual Seokjin, a stirring took place within you. His handsome face, broad shoulders, and full lips almost made you swoon. Shivers run up your spine as you stood behind the sofa in at the back of a very excited Shuhua and Minnie. You quickly discarded such thoughts, attributing them to Fanqia and Jackson's obsession with him. Yet, something deep inside you felt so drawn to him. Why?

Him wearing 'bunny ears' as a team with the maknae-line brought a strange nostalgia in you, but you just shake it off.

Nominated for your first awards Urban Pulse felt the excitement and pressure mounting. BTS's international schedules meant they rarely attended local award shows, which was a small relief.

But something stranged happened. You were constantly dreaming about a faceless guy with an expensive platinum ring on his forefinger. It was distressing. These dreams were very uncomfortable and even sensual that left you flabbergasted and flustered. This figure was so mysterious that haunted your dreams .

The most exhilarating weeks passed and when the hard work start in full swing after your debut, it was full schedules, from performances, Television and Radio interviews, appearing on variety shows and cover shoots for magazines.

Every night you seemed to be in a different scene with Mr Mysterious. The faceless man in your dream. It was becoming really vivid, and it plaque you with strange memories that you know never happened.

In one instance you were tenderly embraced with peppered kisses on your neck, than it was passionate kisses in a very luxurious place, you could almost smell his expensive cologne, you could literally feel his hands pulling you closer, his fingers entangled in your hair, deepening your kisses.

The excitement you felt when he kissed you made you breathless...but when you dreams took a drastic turn, with images of your hands caressing his naked torso, his wide shoulders and his feverish hands on your naked back pulling you against him with tenderness. And the heated glow of fire shadows dancing around you. Those images sent shockwaves that left your rattled to the core.

What the hell! How could you dream such intimate stuff about a recurring figure, that never occurred in reality? It is so embarrassing.

One morning very before 4pm, you jumped up sweaty after yet another restless night and run to the cool lounge where you sat on the lounge sofa with a light throw covering you, your eyes filled with tears.

You found yourself lost in thought during a break in rehearsals. You were rehearsing for the coming Award show.

Mi-yeon noticed your distant expression as you stood at the water table to help yourself with an ice cold energy drink and she gently nudged you, "Hey,Yuqs are you okay? You seem so distracted and quiet lately. What's the matter? Are you nervous for our first awards performance."

You shook your head,biting your lips, unable to shake off the lingering emotions from your strange dreams, "Yeah, just tired, I guess. I had insomnia these couple of days."

Minnie, always perceptive of your moods, chimed in, "Is it those dreams again, you told me, again?" She took a big gulp of her still water.

You looked at her, surprised that she knew why you've been so distracted lately, "Yeah... I don't know what's going on. They're just... so intense." Your face were beet red even thinking about it, made shivers run up your spine.

Soyeon, leaning in with curiosity, asked, "What are they about?" She smirked, when she saw your blushing face.

You hesitated, unsure how to articulate the complexity of your dreams without sounding ridiculous, "It's... about this guy. He's always there, but I can't see his face. He kisses me, holds me... It feels so real. Why do I get these dreams now. Am I bewitched or something?" You asked with a strangled voice.

Shuhua, furrowed her brows, ever the intuitive one, spoke up softly, "Maybe it's someone you've met before? Or someone you're destined to meet. You know those spiritual meanings of dreams."

You chuckled nervously, trying to brush it off, "Destined? Come on, it's just a mere dream, but why such sensual dreams "

Minnie chuckled," Maybe it's time to date...your inner clock is calling you."

You look bewildered at the snickering faces. You never dated like some of them. Mi-yeon was apparently kick out of trainee program at YG because she dated a boy on a show. She was suppose to debut with Pink punk. Who became the most popular 3th gen girlgroup Blackpink. She and Jennie are still best buddies, like you, Jiwoo, Chaewon and Soomin, who always had friendship dates when you all free.

Minnie dated in high school, Soyeon had two boyfriends in her life time, even Shuhua had a taste of love for several weeks with an older guy from Nu-est but they secretly broke up. You're the only one that apparently never had any dating experience.

But deep down, the dreams severly troubled you. They were becoming more frequent, more intense, and you couldn't shake the feeling that they meant something.

But you just dismissed everything and try to focus on another round of rehearsals.

That evening, as you scrolled through your phone in your apartment, you called your sister, Fanqia. She always has good advice for you.She immediately answered the call.

"Hey superstar baby, sis, Are you okay? Minnie told me that you've been quiet lately."

Her voice sounded very concerned. Fanqia asked the girls just to observe Yuqi. Your family is still very wary of the so-called triggers.

You sighed, "It's those dreams again, Fanqia. They won't stop."

Fanqia was very thoughtful on the other side. "Maybe they mean something. Dreams sometimes reveal what our hearts are trying to tell us."

You frowned, conflicted. "But it's just a dream, right? I can't let it distract me."

Fanqia sounded understandingly. "Maybe. But don't dismiss it completely. Sometimes, dreams are our subconscious trying to speak to us."

Fanqia wondered if you saw Seokjin; that might have subconsciously triggered you, and you are slowly getting your memories back.

Luckily, Fanqia will come to Seoul and be a stylist during the awards shows. She loves to support you during performances. Your family is so proud of your accomplishments. You always wondered why she always looked or appeared relieved when she heard BTS would not be present, but according to Shuhua, they are going to perform at all the year-end awards shows.

They are going to be the main acts at Melon because they have been nominated for more than eight awards. Just the fact that Yuqi will personally be in the presence of Seokjin made Fanqia lame of fear.

Anything can cause a devastating trigger, and just seeing Seokjin physically can cause a mental breakdown.

Later that night, as you lay in bed staring at the ceiling, the image of that faceless man with the platinum ring flashed through your mind once more. His presence felt so real, so tangible, as if he belonged in your life somehow.
