You knew they were in town but you had no expectation in seeing them. You had started a second job once you found out they would be coming to L.A. during the tour but still, it was no use. You saved and saved but still couldn't afford a ticket to see them. It made your heart ache knowing that they were in your city and you couldn't go to their show. It is now 6:30 AM. You worked as a ticket master at a subway station. Going to work was as much as you got out considering you don't have many friends, that's why you wanted to go to the BTS concert so badly. You were ripped away from your thoughts when you spotted a tall figure out of the corner of your eye. You saw a familiar face tucked under a black hoodie. He was carrying a Louis Vuitton duffle bag that slightly hung over his shoulder and a black mask shielded the lower half of his face. It was in that moment you realized it was Jungkook, but you didn't recognize the two men slowly creeping behind him. They got closer and closer, you grew leery. You stepped out of your locked ticket booth and ran towards him the moment you heard him scream. You got the pepper spray out of your pocket and quickly sprayed it towards the men who had already knocked Jungkook unconscious. One of the guys stopped due to his lack of vision but the other was relentless in stealing Jungkook's belongings. Without thinking, you sent a swift kick to the man's chest. He dropped Jungkook's things, scrambled to his feet, and took off. You looked down to see Jungkook laying on the ground. You hovered over him and felt his face. His cheeks were cold. "Jungkook" you called out while gently shaking his shoulder. You felt his pulse and he was okay but you knew he wouldn't wake up for a while. You searched for his phone to contact someone he knew but it was dead. You picked up his duffle bag and slung it over your chest. You grabbed a wheel chair from the subway office and lifted him into it. You wheeled him down to your car, got him inside, buckled his seat belt, and drove to your apartment. It was a struggle to get him into the elevator but once you did, you unlocked your apartment door and laid him onto the couch. You ran into the kitchen to get a warm rag to put over his forehead. Once you returned, you noticed him stirring so you figured he'd wake up soon. You sat beside the couch on the floor and ran your fingers through his soft, black hair. An hour had gone by and he started to wake up. He looked at you with confusion in his eyes. You quickly explained the situation so he wouldn't panic. "Wow" he said, still stunned at the previous events. "You're brave to have saved me from two men twice your size, I don't know how to thank you" he said with a shy smile. "You don't need to thank me, I saw you in trouble and I couldn't let you get hurt." You said, returning the smile. "I'm Jungkook" he said with a smile while offering his hand. You took it, "I know" you said with a light giggle. He looked stunned and continued the grip on your hand. "Are you an ARMY?" he shyly asked. Your cheeks blushed a bright pink as you silently nodded. He broke free of the grip and immediately pulled you into his chest and engulfed you with his arms. You turned a tragic shade of pink and hugged him back. He noticed and gently pushed you back so that he could see your face. He smiled at your embarrassment. "Are you coming to the show tonight?" He asked, still gripping your shoulders. The smile left your face and you slowly nodded your head no. You felt really embarrassed and attempted to hide your face with your hands but he pulled them into his and intertwined your fingers. The feeling made your stomach flip. "How come?" He asked in a serious tone. The heat rose to your cheeks again. "I wanted to but I couldn't afford it." You said sheepishly, trying to maintain your composure. He removed one of his hands from yours and tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear. The feeling sent shivers down your spine. He cupped your cheek in his hand and started to caress it with his thumb. "You're going" he said, breaking the silence. "Jungkook, I'd love to but I can't afford it. The only reason I got the job at the subway station was to try to go but things just kept getting in the way" you replied in a sad tone. "No, no" he replied, "I'm bringing you." You were suddenly brought to your feet as he stood in front of you. " So, let's try this again. I'm Jungkook" he said, extending his hand to you as he did before. "What is your name?" He asked with a huge smile. "Y/N" you replied to him, shaking his hand.
