Jin runs up to me and puts out his hand. I look down at it and blink. He pushes it towards me pouting.

"Oh! You want me to shake your hand!" I chuckle lowly and shake his hand and Jin smiles wilder.

"You're that girl that hid behind the boxes and fell out of the chair! What are you doing here?" Jin exclaims quickly and I shake my head in confusion. Jin realises and frowns slightly.

"Hold up." I take my phone out and go to translate. 

This should be easier.

I hand the phone to Jin and he types. He hands the phone back to me.

'You're the girl from our first photoshoots. What are you doing here?'

"Uhh. What do I say?" I mumble and type back.

'I woke up here.' I hand the phone back to Jin and he looks at it confused.

'Woke up?' He shows me the phone and nods. 'But you're not from around here. You don't speak Korean.'

'I speak English. I'm from (h/c)'

'Wow! I want to go there one day!' I chuckle when I read the message, sudden nostalgia swarming over me as tears glaze over my eyes. I grin up at Jin and type.

'You will. Trust me. You will be going to so many places. Look how famous you are now. You will break records and receive so many awards. People look up to you and thank you for saving them.' Jin reads what a typed and just pauses.

'Really? How do you know?'

'I'm from the future.' I wink at Jin as he looks at me wide-eyed after reading what I wrote.

'I don't believe you.'

'You won't be saying that when you win an award for the AMA's.'

'No way. How come I didn't see you in the past years? It's been so long.'

What do I say to that?

I just shrug.

'I still have the letter you wrote me.' I look at him shocked.

'Why?'

'I wanted Namjoon to translate what you said. He said that he was so touched when he read it. He wanted to know who it was from.'

Awwww Joonie, my heart!

'That was our first most heartfelt letter we received. The whole band reads it when we feel down. It encourages us.'

He's going to make me cry stahpppp.

"So thank you, (y/n)." My eyes wide as Jin speaks to me.

He learnt to speak English and he remembered my name.

I suddenly taste something salty and I realise I was crying. "Oh shit." I chuckle softly, wiping the tears away. My breath hitches in my throat when Jin suddenly pulls me close and hugs me. I smile and hug him back tightly. "Sorry for crying like this." I whisper and Jin lets me, wiping the tears away with his jacket. 

"Whos that!?" I look past Jin to see the other members as they see me with jin. They all panic, going to alert their staff and their manager.

"You there! Who are you!? You're not supposed to be here!?"

Oh shit.

Jin was about to turn around but I stopped him.

"I'm going to disappear soon. Jin, I'll see you soon ok." I smile at Jin as he looks at me confused. Namjoon runs to Jin, calling out to him and Jin turns around to shout back.

Guess I blackout again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"BITCH WAKE THE FUCK UP!" Something hard smacks me across the face and I shoot up. I look up to see (b/f/n) look at me with wide eyes, their hand up.

"Did you fucking slap me!?" I growl out and they just shake me by my shoulders.

"WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GO!? YOU LITERALLY DISAPPEARED WHAT THE FUCK!? ONE MINUTE YOU'RE SITTING ON YOUR CHAIR AND THE NEXT, POOF! GONE!"

"STOP SHAKING ME! I'M GOING TO PUKE ON YOU!"

"Ew." (b/f/n) steps back from me with their hands up.

"Finally. I told you I time travelled." 

"Bitch what the fuck."

"Check your damn phone."

"Why?"

"Check the photo you took when you went to Korea."

"Why?"

"Just open your damn phone!"

"Ok jeez!"

"Now go to the photo you took where you sat at the run-down bus stop for You Never Walk Alone."

"Ok. Got it." I look at them as they squint at the photo and their eyes slowly go wide.

"Holy mother of Namjesus." 

"Told you."

"Who said you could call me a bitch!? And on that damn paper too with my name on it! People can see this you bitch!"

"Oh, so I can't call you a bitch but you can!?"

"Yes, cause I'm your slut. Not your bitch." I burst out laughing from this and (b/f/n) falls on the floor dying. "Seriously though. You can actually time travel. Since when?"

"A few nights ago actually."

"And you only go to the areas where BTS had their album photoshoots?" I nod. "Why?" I shrug. "So you see younger version of BTS in real life." I nod. "Have you talked to any of the members? Have they seen you?" 

"Yes and yes."

"WHO!?"

"Only Jin."

"Only him?" I nod. "That's weird."

"I know. It seems likes he's the only one that sees me first before the others. And he seems to trigger the blackouts that cause me to come back." (b/f/n) looks at me constipated.

"My head hurts from this."

"How do you think I feel?"

"Maybe he's like your soulmate?"

"Nah. Utter bullshit."

This travelling back and forth in time continued for the next few nights. I visited Jin from every album photoshoot before You Never Walk Alone just as my wallpaper on my laptop changed at a new hour. Every time I showed up, he was always the first one to see me and the only one that seemed to remember me. Our time together lasted longer each time I visited him. We were always goofing off and having fun together, even sometimes skipping his solo photoshoots to give me a short tour of the area they were taking the pictures at. I got to see and experience bits of Korea with Jin and even have a quick glimpse of the inside of Bighit's building.

We seemed to get closer too. Jin would always hug me first every time he saw me in case I disappeared before spending time with him. He would always hold my hand as he dragged me to try new street food and tourist spots. Sometimes he would give me back hugs if we just stood looking at a sunset. Jin even started learning English earlier than the others, just for me. So we could talk to each other better than using my phone. Jin never wanted to take his eyes off me cause he knew that if he did, I would disappear.

I knew that I loved BTS, but I loved them in a way that I looked up at them as role models. As people I could look up to and help me to be inspired and help to teach me to love myself. But with Jin, I can't help the butterflies that swarm in my stomach every time he holds me to his chest or the constant fast beating of my heart every time I saw him. He always could put a smile on my face and I was always tempted to just stay with him in the past. But I always end up coming back. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"No stop!" I cover my face, pouting as Jin continues to take pictures of me on my phone. Since I wasn't in his proper timeline, my pictures don't show up on his phone and neither does his on mine. "Jin." I whine out to him and he just chuckles. 

"Absolutely beautiful." Jin kisses the top of my head and smiles down at me. 

"Why." I pout and Jin just smiles at my photos before sitting down and putting my phone away next to him. "Shouldn't you be heading back? For the Love Yourself: Her album?" I mumble softly as I rest my head on Jin's shoulder, his arms wrapped around my body and lifts me into his lap. He shakes his head and I chuckle.

"I don't want to. I don't want you to leave." Jin mumbles the last sentence but I don't hear him.

"I don't want you to get in trouble if you don't get your photos done." Jin hugs me tighter and shakes his head.

"I don't want you to leave my sight."

"You know I'll come back."

"But after how long? We don't get to see each other. It might be after a year again when we release an album."

"Jin-"

"I want to see you in real life." I lift my head to look at him and see the sadness in his eyes.

"We will."

"When?"

"Soon. Soon Jin." Jin sighs and I look at him sadly.

"(y/n), I need to tell you something." I get off Jin's lap and sit next to him, concerned about what he was going to say.

Is he ok?

Is something wrong?

Did something happen?

"I lo-"

"-Jin Hyung! Where are you!?" The front door to the dorm suddenly bangs open and Taehyung runs in but stops short when he sees me on the couch. "Who is she!?" Jin stands up and turns around in surprise but curses and turns to look at me with wide eyes.

"No, please don't go!" I stand up and Jin holds me tightly to his chest but I step away from him. I hold his cheeks in my hands, wiping away the stray tears that fall down his face.

"Hey, don't cry. We'll see each other again. When have I ever lied to you?" Jin smiles at me and nods, hugging me tightly. I wave at Taehyung who looks at me with confusion.

"I'll see you again (y/n)." And I blackout.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I recently realised that I never visited Jin after the Love Yourself: Her album. I only visited him the albums before Her but in random order. I never realised how much I would miss visiting Jin when I stopped time travelling after seeing him for the last time at Love Yourself: Her album.

Its been a few years now since I had last time travelled. Since the Her album, I just stopped ever since. No more blackouts. When I woke up (b/f/n) had run into my room screaming about BTS winning the AMA's. I was confused as to why since they won Top Social Artist Award just the year before. I couldn't help the tears when I watched the video. It may have been last year for me, but it was the next year for Jin at that time and he still remembered me. I watched as he held my phone that I left behind in his hand and the mic in his other.

"Someone I know once told me that we would make so many people happy and achieve so many great things in the future. I didn't believe them at first, but every time I saw them, they made me believe that we weren't alone on this journey. We have our ARMY to hold our hands and to care for us as we do for them. They have inspired us and we have inspired them. Let's spend as much time as we can together." Jin held my phone to his chest and smiled brightly. "You were right, we did win an award for the AMA's. I hope we see each other again. We love you ARMY!"

It was now the year 2020. So many things had changed for me. I had graduated from university and started working with (b/f/n) on our dream business together. We moved out and (b/f/n) moved to live with their partner in a new house, which was obviously next to my new house. (b/f/n) had slowly faded away from being an ARMY and keeping up with BTS. I don't blame them, they finally found the love of their life. Me, however, I was still with BTS, still an ARMY who was caught up with anything new about them. And I was still in love with Jin.

It was a normal morning for me as I left the house to go to work, knowing (b/f/n) would come a little later. I was walking down the path, the warm breeze blowing gently over me as the sky was clear from any clouds. It was calm today, no chatter of strangers or the loud vehicles passing by me. I was oddly happy today. I spin around as I smiled, closing my eyes and taking in a deep breath. As soon as I saw my corporate building, my phone dinged. As I walked through the doors, I checked my phone and saw that BTS was landing here later today for the final concert of their world tour. I saw images of Jin waving towards the cameras and I smiled brightly.

He has come so far, it's amazing.

I wonder if he still remembers me. 

As I walked down the pathway, I checked my phone to see a grocery list (b/f/n) had sent me. As I was reading what I had to buy later on in the day after work, I don't realise that I had bumped into someone. "I'm so sorry!" I quickly apologise and look up to see two figures in front of me. "I wasn't looking where I was going! I'm so sorry." The two figures just chuckled softly and I smile back awkwardly, rubbing the back of my neck.

"It's ok. Hope you are ok though." One of the figures says and I nod.

"I'm fine, thank you." I properly look at the two people standing in front of me and I cock my head to the side, confused. Both figures were dressed and covered from head to toe and were also wearing sunglasses. 

They are wearing coats, in summer. 

Plus other people are staring at them both.

"What?" The figure that was just wearing sunglasses asked, confused as to why I was staring at him.

"Aren't you hot? It's summer." I hear them both chuckle again, smiling down at me.

Wait.

I look at the figure wearing the sunglasses and see his boxy smile, recognising the smile straight away. I smile brightly at the two, confusing them.

"Hope the weather hasn't been too harsh for you. Especially with all the rehearsing and the concert." Both men look at me in utter surprise and I wink at them. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. Big fan by the way."

"How did you know it was us?" Taehyung questioned.

"I recognise your smile anywhere Taehyung. It's one of a kind." Taehyung smiles at me and blushes from my compliment.

"Do you recognise me?" I turn to see the other member and saw that they were wearing a black cap including the sunglasses.

"Difficult to say since you are covered." I look at him and notice his shoulders. I look at Taehyungs and back to his, gasping. I smile softly at Jin, trying not to cry as the memories rush through my head.

"Jin. It's nice to see you again." Jin and Taehyung look at me confused at first but then Jin's eyes widen in shock.

Does he recognise me?

"What do you mean again? Hyung, do you know her?" Taehyung was confused but it was expected that he doesn't remember me.

"Let's go somewhere more private."

"This is the best coffee shop in the area. I like how it's secluded and very quiet. And you can book private rooms for whatever reason. I used to come here to study." I guide Taehyung and Jin both into a private room as they held their drinks that they ordered. I sat down at one of the couches opposite from the two boys with a coffee table between us. I took a sip from my drink, trying to calm the sudden nervousness and butterflies in my stomach. Taehyung and Jin made themselves more comfortable as they took their coats off and I try to calm the heat in my cheeks.

"Can you explain now hyung." Taehyung begged and Jin looked at me before turning to Taehyung.

"Ok ok. She's the girl." Taehyungs eyes widen as he looks at me.

Has he mentioned me to them?

"You mean..."

"Yes. She's the one I told you guys about. You didn't believe me obviously, I was the only one who remembered her." Jin softly smiles at me and my heart skips a beat, seeing something flash in his eyes. "She's the one who wrote that letter Namjoon translated, the one I talked about at the AMA's. She was the one I saw at our photoshoots who promised to see me again in the future."

He told the others about me.

"How!? Are you an actual time traveller?" Taehyung exclaimed in awe but I shake my head, chuckling at Taehyung who pouted sadly. 

"I don't know how it happened. I was studying one night many years back and my laptop wallpaper changed to you Jin, smiling so happily. Then everything went black. And I was able to meet you. I could only talk to you briefly before things went black again and I ended up back in my room. This happened for quite a while." Jin stood up and sat next to me on the couch, holding something in his hands.

"I guess now I can return this to you." Jin holds out my phone and I gasp, completely forgetting about it.

"You've had my phone this entire time?" Jin nods and places the phone in my hands, holding my hands in his.

"It was the only thing that reminded me of you, the only way I could see you after you disappeared. You never came back to me..." Jin mumbled sadly. 

"I'm so sorry Jin. I wanted to go back to you so bad. I was frustrated when I couldn't." I frown at him

"I missed you so much. I missed you for so long. It hurt when you disappeared and didn't come back. I didn't want to forget you like a long lost memory. And here you are, right in front of me. This isn't a dream right? It's not one of your time travels is it?" Jin turns to me, tears in his eyes as I held his face in my hands.

"I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. I'm present here with you, right here Jin. You can look away and I'll still be here by your side, forever. I missed you so much Jin." I couldn't stop the tears that fell down my face as my heart pounded from how much I missed Jin. Jin wiped my tears away and smiled down at me, adoration in his eyes.

"I can finally tell you what I wanted to tell you last time before Taehyung interrupted us." Taehyung smiles sheepishly at us and Jin chuckles. "I love you. I love you so much (y/n)." I burst out crying and I jump on Jin, hugging him tightly.

"I love you so much Jin. I've loved you ever since and I won't stop loving you."
