Chapter 7: Bumping Heads....with BTS

Start from the beginning
                                    

"I can't wait to make kimchi," said Christine. "I have to admit, trying out something new is exciting."

"Mmm, I can't wait too," I said as I got another packet of carrots and putting it in the cart. "Speaking of which, I think I'll need some strawberries."

"Really, Sam? What for?"

"To eat of course."

"Once you start to eat them, you never stop."

"True. But at least that only lasts for a day."

"Typical." Christine rolled her eyes at me and her eyes landed to the other aisle further away from us where the fruits were.

"There they are," she said. "You can go get them and I'll wait here."

"Sure thing."

I walked over to the fruit stand surpassing large refrigerators that contained cold meat, fish and even frozen ice cream. I noticed all eyes on me as I walked by. Being a celebrity can really feel weird sometimes especially when the whole world knows you.

As I approached the fruit stand, I couldn't help but lick my lips as I saw the lovely juicy strawberries. I hope nobody saw me do that. That would be embarrassing.

The strawberries were packed in plastic lunchboxes. Below where the strawberries were were oranges all stacked together. I felt like opening a lunchbox and eating a strawberry, but I had to keep my craving under control.

As I stretched out to get the strawberries, someone appeared right beside me looking at the fruits. I didn't turn in the person's direction because I turned the other way to start heading back to where Christine stood waiting for me. As I turned, I knocked over an orange from the stand with my other free hand and it fell to the floor.

"Oh, goodness," I muttered as I turned to look at the orange.

Just as I was about to bend over to pick the fruit up, the person beside me had also bent over to pick it. And then.....

"Ouch!"

"Aish!"

We'd bumped heads. And it hurt a lot. We both straightened up holding our heads.

As we stared at each other, I couldn't help but smile. I could tell he was smiling back at me even if he wore a face mask on. As I stared back at him, I couldn't help but feel like he seemed familiar.

His blonde hair fell close to his beautiful eyes and I couldn't help but look at him and he couldn't stop looking back at me. I noticed his pupils dilate. He looked surprised to see me. Where have I seen those eyes before?

"Sam!"

I almost jumped in fright by the sound of Christine's voice. I turned to her direction and she was right where I had left her. Taeyang was standing right beside her and she beckoned with her hand telling me to come back.

I nodded my head at her telling her that I would be right there. I went back to looking at the person before me. I couldn't help but feel that I knew who the person was but I couldn't figure out who. I yearned to know because right now, my heart was racing. I felt so excited, yet so nervous. I had to know who this person is. If I walk away now, this moment will be burned in my memory and I would be haunted forever just at the thought of his beautiful eyes.

I bent over to pick up the orange and I could tell his eyes still remained fixed on me. I felt like he was watching my every move. When I straightened up and put the orange back on the stand, I went back to looking at him.

"Mianhae (미안해) (Sorry)," I apologised, my eyes never leaving his.

I couldn't help it, I just had to know who he is. But I was running out of time. What was I going to do now?

"Sam? Black Kitty? Right?" he asked.

My heart skipped a beat. Even his voice sounded familiar and I felt like singing "Hallelujah!" out loud. For whatever reason, only God knows. Not only did he look surprised, he sounded surprised too. That voice. I just couldn't recall where I have heard it from.

"Yes," I said, trying to figure out what else to say next. "That's me. And...who might you be?"

He didn't hesitate to take his mask off and everything happened so suddenly. As he was removing his mask, a group of guys came round the corner entering the fruit aisle behind him. Everything then went in slow motion and as soon as the mask fell away from his face, I gasped.

Jimin stood right in front of me looking as surprised as ever and the rest of BTS had come around the corner behind him. When they saw me, they all paused. Now I was even more nervous and excited than ever before.

"J....Jimin?" I looked behind him. "B...BTS?" Now I was the one who was asking.

"Aigoo! Is that BK? Like 'The Black Kitty?'" RM asked with a surprised look on his face.

Right now, I felt like I was about to faint. I had just bumped heads with Jimin and the rest of BTS just showed up out of the blue. I couldn't even think right at the moment. This was probably the weird yet best day of my life.

I couldn't help my excitement as I tried to say something but I was completely lost for words. The rest of BTS couldn't say a word either as we all looked at each other wondering what to do or say next. This was a lot to take in.

It was until a scream broke out and echoed throughout the store that we were woken up from our little shock. And it was pretty obvious who could be screaming like a crazy lunatic.

"OMG! It's BTS!" Christine exclaimed.

"OMG! It's BTS!" Christine exclaimed
