When I try to remember things before all of this happened, nothing resurfaces. Not even my parents. Or my best friend's name. Or my favourite snack when I was little. Nothing. Not a single thing. At time I wonder, does it bother me? Not remembering...
" How are we going to go out? Is Manager Jigaemae-ssi and Manager Sejin-ssi going to be with us?" I asked the seven idols as we all got ready, putting on our shoes. It was Namjoon-ssi who answered.
" Yeah. However, they had just told us that only two of us can go with you to shop. If the seven of us go, there might be a higher chance that we will be seen."
" Oh. So, who's going to come with me then?" I asked. Jimin-ssi and Taehyung-ssi raised their hands, looking quite excited.
" We are! Oh, and Arie, here," Jimin-ssi says, handing me a mask, hat and sunglasses. " It's so that you won't be recognised. See?" He puts on his own mask, hat and sunglasses.
" Ooh, right," I said, putting them on without question. " What are the rest of you going to do then?"
" We're meeting with Bang-ssi for a while. And there's also a recording some of us have to do before we go home. If we're not home by then, just order something to eat," Namjoon-ssi says. Seokjin-ssi made a face.
" Like hell, they will. We've already eaten takeaways twice this week! Yah! No, if you're hungry, come to the building and wait for us to come home. I'll cook dinner for the eight of us," he said. I giggled.
" That's alright, Seokjin-ssi. If we're hungry, I'm sure I can whip something up," I said, smiling at him. Seokjin-ssi playfully squints at me, pointing his finger.
" You better!" he said, winking. I nodded.
" Well, we better get going. There's plenty of stores that these two are dying to show you. At least that's what they say," Hoseok-ssi says. I smiled at the two smiling idols on either side of me.
" Alright then."

" How come nobody is here?" I said out loud as we stepped inside the mall. Looking around the mall, there were, indeed, not a single person in sight.
" It just so happens that it's a bit deserted, I guess," Taehyung-ssi says with a smirk. He reaches his hand for me to take and I took it with, a little hesitant. Jimin-ssi grabs my hand as well and we walked behind Taehyung-ssi as he leads us to a store that had my eyes popping out of my sockets.
" Gucci?!" I asked, stopping right outside of the entrance of the store. Taehyung-ssi looks at me and smiles his very boxy smile.
" Yes, come on, Arie!" he says. I opened my mouth to retaliate, but it was choked back down when Taehyung-ssi drags me inside. Behind me and still holding my hand, Jimin-ssi laughs. Taehyung-ssi leads us to different aisles, picking out different outfits and turning around to me, asking whether it was my style. I had shrugged, still in awe that I was in one of the luxury stores in the world.
" Do you want to try them on, Arie, and we can see if you like them?" Jimin-ssi asks after our 5th round of the shop. I looked at them and nodded.
