"You looked excited," Namjoon said, nudging her elbow with his.

"Well, of course, I am! Told you I've never been there!" Hyun Ae said, turning at him and finding that he was staring at her, with a different look in his eyes. They stayed silent for like thirty seconds before she cleared her throat. "What?"

"I suddenly remembered the day we first met."

She suddenly felt a surge of chills shoot upright her spine as she heard it from him, and she began to laugh nervously. "What... pfft... ahahahahaha... You sound like you have a thing for me- Never mind, ignore me. My head is kinda off this morning ahahahahaha..."

"You looked tired too," he whispered in his deep voice, making her body freeze upon hearing it. Then Namjoon moved closer to her, placed his hand on her head, and pulled her to his broad shoulder.

"I'll wake you up when we are almost there, which I don't think takes long too."

"Hotteok! You promised me a hotteok! You said you'll buy me a hotteok!"

"Fine, fine! Sheesh..." Namjoon chortled as he couldn't hide his smile upon witnessing Hyun Ae whining as they made it out of the station. "We'll go to my house later. It has been a while since the last time I visited my parents."

"Okay!" Hyun Ae cheerily answered, and then she continued to slap his shoulder playfully, demanding her snack. "My hotteok!"

"This girl..." he laughed, and finally got the snack for her.

Time passed by, and he brought her to a park around the town area.

Just like what people had always called Ilsan the City of Flowers, the park is filled with beautiful flowers, blooming along with morning dew dripping from every plant.

"Oh! This place is so beautiful!" Hyun Ae complimented, as both of them walked down a pathway, covered in various dead leaves, creating pretty-looking scenery.

"Want me to take a photo of you?" Namjoon offered, stopping his track at a point then held his hand out to her. Excited, she passed him her phone and then began to pose naturally. After a few shots, she approached him to check the outcomes and was satisfied with them.

"Let's take a selfie together!" Hyun Ae suddenly requested as she switched the rear camera to the front.

"No, I don't-"

"Oh, come on! Just once! We'll never know when will be the next time we have this kind of hangout! Plus, you don't take selfies? Don't you try to lie to me, RM-ssi! I'm an ARMY, remember?"

Hearing to her statement, Namjoon couldn't help but give up and sighed. "Fine," he smiled and began to take a few selfies with her.

"Oh son, you're home! Ah..."

"Hi, mom!" Namjoon greeted his mom after the door was opened. Hyun Ae slightly moved forward a bit and showed herself to his mom, bowing down at her as he began to introduce her. "Let me introduce you, this is Hyun Ae -"

"Is she the one?" his mom suddenly cut his words.

"What?" he asked in confusion when suddenly he heard rushing footsteps approaching the front door.

"Mom, where is my- oh oppa, welcome home!" a girl greeted Namjoon, and then her eyes fell onto Hyun Ae, and gasped. "Oh! Bangtan Eonnie!"

"Haha... hi?" Hyun Ae giggled shyly, placing her hand behind her neck, and bowed her head down a bit.

"Mom, it's their new manager," the girl said, slapping her mom's arm playfully. "Come in! Oppa, how could you never tell us your manager is coming?"

"Actually, temporary... manager," Hyun Ae corrected, as she followed Namjoon from behind, stepping into the house. "Well, I guess 'Bangtan Eonnie' is my other name now," she mumbled at him, earning a cute chuckle from him.

"Is there... something... between you..."

"Mom!" Namjoon called out, trying to put a halt to his mom's curiosity. "There's no such thing. She's Jungkook's friend too."

"Aigoo... you're such a beautiful person, and kind too. Have a sit," his mother gestured for Hyun Ae to sit while giving her son a suspicious smile. "You're our guest. I'll make your drinks."

"Oh, no need to-"

"Nah, it's okay. I know my Namjoon wanted drinks too, right son?" she said, turning her head to her son who was still standing by the balcony. He nodded before his mother walked into the kitchen.

"Wah, I can't believe that I'm meeting Bangtan Eonnie in real life!" suddenly the girl excitedly said, plopping onto the spot next to Hyun Ae on the sofa. "I'm his younger sister, by the way. Kim Kyungmin."

"Hi, nice to meet you! Am I really that well-known? Plus, 'Bangtan Eonnie'?" Hyun Ae shyly asked.

"Yeah. The fandom decided to call you that if they're females, of course."

"BTS is damn powerful. I'm famous in... what? Since the first day we met?" Hyun Ae asked, her gaze following Namjoon who then stood beside her.

"You're kind of living a different lifestyle now," he sighed, sitting down on the floor right next to her, leaning his back against the sofa.

"She's really beautiful in both worlds too. In those videos and in real life," Kyungmin pointed out. "Oppa, is it really okay to have beautiful girls like her around you? You guys might make the media scoop."

"Nah... Everyone already knew who she is, right?" Namjoon said, giving Hyun Ae a look.

"Yeah, we'll see about that," Hyun Ae sighed.
