'Oh shoot. She'll be there too! What should i do if she sees me there? What should i tell her?'

--

"Oh my God, what should i do?" Minhee couldn't sleep at all. She laid down in her bed while rolling to the right and left in frustration.

"Should i just stay at home tomorrow? Shoot. I shouldn't say yes in the first place." She slapped her own face.

"Why am I so scared of being caught? As if I'm hiding my boyfriend. Ugh.. No no. No, i'm not. I'm just afraid that Dahae will think i actually like K-Pop and after all this time i lied to her. I don't want her to insist me to accompany her again, right? Yes, i don't want to accompany her." She spoke to herself like a crazy person.

"I shouldn't have come. I'll apologize to Eyre tomorrow." She sighed.

At the library, in the afternoon as promised, Minhee and Jungkook worked on the assignment that will be collected this week. Jungkook had already put additional seats in their hidden spots. Yeah, now, it's their spot.

She tried to bring the conversation towards this afternoon's event. She was going to apologize for not coming but Jungkook looked very happy.

"I'm happy because you'll come. My hyungs will happy to see you too." He smiled happily.

"Ehm.. yeah.." Minhee didn't know what to say.

"Yesterday, i told them about you and they're happy that i made a friend. They're excited to meet you." He said eagerly.

"I'm.. happy to.. meet them too." Minhee stuttered.

"I already told manager hyung that we will have dinner together after the show." Jungkook even planned everything.

"Oh and this is for you, the ticket and backstage pass." He gave Minhee the ticket with a wide smile. It made her feel even more guilty if she didn't come.

Minhee ended up didn't say anything.

--

'Guess who is standing in front of the venue now? Yes, me!' Minhee spoke to herself, face palming her face.

'What am i doing here? Shoot!' She regretted why she couldn't speak to Jungkook earlier.

Minhee finally came. She left after Dahae came out of the house. She also did not forget to stop by the convenience store to buy a mask.

'I'm the one who looks like a criminal on the loose, now. It made me believed that karma actually exists.' She sighed.

Minhee entered the studio and sat at the very back. She was surprised by the atmosphere there. With the screams of fans and loud music, she really didn't feel right to be there. One group just finished performing when she sat down. She didn't pay attention to who they are because they have started to disperse. She was surprised because it seemed like the program had not started but why they already finished performing. She just shook my head, really didn't know anything.

She scanned the studio looking for Dahae so she can avoid her. Finally she saw her coming. Dahae sat in the front with people who seemed to carry the same banner and light stick like hers. Minhee looked down, afraid of being caught.

People in front of Minhee, who looked like a junior high school students, kept looking at her and whispered. Looked like they are fans of other groups, because Minhee saw them carrying banners that read 'Wanna One' instead of 'BTS'.

"What's wrong with the eonni behind us?! Did she think she's a celebrity to the point that she dressed like that!" They whispered loud enough for Minhee to hear.

"Maybe she's really a celebrity? Maybe she's a secret girlfriend of one of our oppa." Someone said.

"Oh my God, that may be true! We have to protect our oppa!" They turned around without hesitation and looked at Minhee with sharp eyes.

"No. No. I'm not what you guys think... I..i.. just got a flu." She opened her mask so they could see her face and didn't think of anything stupid, then she pretended to cough towards them.

"What the heck!" They turned to the front again. "This eonni behind us is a weirdo."

Minhee shook her head, surprised by this frightening fans. The obsession with idols can make someone forget how to respect older people.

'If only they knew that I'm a friend of an idol who will perform today, they'll chew me alive.' She wore her mask again.

Suddenly Minhee heard everyone screaming.

"Aaah! BTS oppa's coming! They'll do rehearsal, right?" She heard them speak.

'Oh so they practice first. I really didn't understand all of this.' She sighed again and again.

Minhee looked towards the boys. Jungkook was looking for someone. He looked at the audience who were sitting. His fans were excited.

"Oppa I'm here!" Minhee heard them shouting. Jungkook replied to them with a smile. Even the junior high school students in front of Minhee who didn't seem to be their fans shouted excitedly.

"Annyeong, Army." He greeted them but his eyes were still looking for someone.

When he saw Minhee, he immediately smiled broadly.

'Huh! Did he recognize me? With this kind of disguise, how can he know that this is me?' Minhee was surprised.

She saw him whispering to one of his hyungs. She recognized that person, he was the one who sat next to Jungkook at the Fan Sign. Jimin looked at her and smiled.

"Annyeong, Army. Now, we're going to rehearse. Thank you for coming early." Jimin said kindly.

Then they practiced. Minhee had to admit that they were cool even though they hadn't used makeup and dressed up yet. Jungkook looked sexy when he's sweaty.

'Hah! What the heck?! What am i thinking?! I must be crazy. Argh!' Minhee face palmed herself.

Minhee just kept sitting still from the start until the show was about to finish. All the performer were great but still it didn't interest her. She kept looking at her cellphone during the event. When BTS finally appeared, she turned her gaze towards the stage. 

At first, it because she tried to respect Jungkook —he invited her here so she have to see him performing— but later she admitted that they're cool. Jungkook looked at Minhee's seat several times and winked. Their fans were excited, they thought the wink was a fan service from Jungkook to them.

When the show was about to end, the show finally announced who will get the highest ranking on the chart this week or at least that's what Minhee heard them say. It turned out that BTS won. She was glad to see Jungkook and his hyungs happy. One of the BTS members started to say when the microphone is given to him. He thanked the fans. When Jungkook was given a microphone, he also thanked the fans. 

"As RM hyung said, thank you so much, Army. Thanks also to our FRIEND who has come. I'm very happy. We will work harder. Thank you again." Jungkook said happily. Their fans cheered them.

'Is it only me who feels weird when he emphasized the word 'friend'? And the fact that he used 'friend' instead of 'friends'.. is.. something'  Minhee thought.

The show was over, everyone began to disperse. Minhee was about to go home, but she waited for Dahae to go out first so they didn't run into one another. When she felt safe enough, she got up and walked out. But unfortunately it turned out that Dahae was still standing in front of the studio. Minhee was shocked, she tried to avoid Dahae. She ran into nearest door that she could see. When she entered, she was stopped by the security who asking for her pass. It looked like the area was the backstage. Minhee just remembered that Jungkook gave her a backstage pass before. She searched in her bag but didn't find it. The security began to be impatient and told Minhee to get out so she could search for the pass outside. But she couldn't go out, there's Dahae outside. Eventually, the security opened the door and pushed her out. Fans who were standing around the area started to look at Minhee, maybe they thought she was a crazy fan trying to enter without a pass. Minhee took off her mask and begged the security while continuing to look for the pass. She tried to assure him that she had one. At that time, she heard someone calling her name.

"Minhee-ah.." She looked up and saw the person. Minhee was confused, she didn't know who he was.

The man came to Minhee and talked to the security. "It's okay, ahjussi. She's with me." The security nodded and finally didn't force Minhee to get out again. She studied him. 

'He seemed to be an idol that perform before, seeing from the clothes he was wearing.' Minhee thought. 

Suddenly he grabbed Minhee arm, pulling her with him to the inner hallway. Many people passed there, including the idols.

After she realized that she was being dragged, she pulled her arm and asked him. "Who are you?" The man was shocked and stopped pulling her.

He looked at her and asked back. "You don't recognize me?"

He brought his face closer. Minhee studied his face harder. He, indeed, looked familiar for Minhee, even with all the makeup on his face. Very familiar. When she was dumbfounded, someone called her.

"Jane! Here you are. I just looked for you in the studio, but you weren't there." Minhee turned to the voice and saw Jungkook approaching her.

"Oh Daniel hyung, you are here too." Jungkook said.

Hearing the name called, Minhee immediately looked at the man who was still holding her arm. 

She froze. At that moment, she remembered everything. She remembered who he really was.

"You! Why.. are you.. here?!" Minhee said, trembling.
