Is it the perfect time? This is the question that she had been asking herself. She smiled to herself thinking about how things progressed so quickly between him and her.
It hasn't been a year yet since they've officially met but they're already where they are now. Sometimes, she would think to herself. Aren't we a little too fast?
But no matter what, she couldn't deny her feelings anymore. Being with him would make her unexplainably ecstatic. She couldn't last a day without a word from him. Even just a phone call from him would already complete her day.
She sighed deep. She looked at her phone to see the time. It was almost 4 in the morning. 15 more minutes and she had to get up already. She hasn't slept yet. She had been thinking about what Mina asked the previous day.
Am I ready? All this thinking was making her crazy. It had been weeks since he confessed and she had been trying to figure things out.
She slapped her forehead and closed her eyes. She needed to catch some sleep no matter what. Ten minutes should do.
"Couldn't sleep?" Mina asked and handed her a bottle of water.
"Neh unnie," she pouted.
"Do you have a problem?" Jihyo, who was sitting beside her asked.
She bit her bottom lip, she was confused whether she should tell the girls. The girls squat on the floor of their practice room and surrounded her.
"Ara," she glanced at Chaeyoung, shocked.
"We actually know," Sana confessed. She pouted at this.
"We already knew even before you figured it out yourself!" Jeongyeon told her. She pouted and nodded.
"Follow your heart," Nayeon suggested.
"But," she tried to oppose. Second thoughts, she always had second thoughts. Ever since all the controversies she had experienced, she was always extra careful.
"Don't think about the dating ban," Dahyun told her.
"Like what I said, even when we have a dating ban, it doesn't say anything about having something going on," Sana stated.
"Don't worry about us," Momo started. "We always have your back."
"Unnie," she looked at Momo, touched from what the latter expressed.
"If it's worth it, then follow your heart," Jihyo stated. She looked at all of her members, they were sincerely concern. This made her smile.
"Gomawo unnie," she told all her group members. Nayeon patted her head. All the members gave her a group hug.
After their practice, they were set to perform at a music show then after they'll be having a fan signing event.
She smiled at her reflection. They were now preparing for their performance at a music show. She was being made up at the moment.
She heard her phone ring and reached out for it. "Yeoboseyo?" She picked it up.
"Eodiya?" she smiled hearing his voice.
"TV station, wae?" she asked, curious. She had told him that they had to perform at a music show today.
"Geunyang," she knew he was shrugging his shoulders at the other side of the line.
"What are you doing after this?" he asked.
"Hmm.. fan signing"
"Ouh, after the fan signing?" he asked again.
"Practice, wae?" she answered then asked again.
"Just."
"Tell me, wae?" she insisted.
"You know what today is right?"
"Ouh, it's the first day of your fan meeting," she stated. "Mianhae, I couldn't be there," she apologized, figuring out that he wanted her to be there.
She heard him sigh. "Gwenchana," he expressed. She didn't buy it though, she knew he had high hopes of her going to BTS' fanmeeting.
"I know you'll do great, you always do!" she said as a matter of fact.
"It's different when you're there," she heard him whisper. She smiled at this. If you only know my plan! Her smile grew wider thinking about her plan.
She heard him sigh again. "Don't be too pretty," he requested. She furrowed her brows.
"Guys might hit on you again," he started explaining. "I'm not there to protect you." She smiled at his statement, rather touched. Sometimes, he just becomes too over protective of her.
Pabo! Why would I entertain other guys when they're not you? "That won't happen," she tried to assure him.
"Ani, still," he argued.
"Arasso," she gave up. He's not the type to lose on an argument about this.
"The show will start soon," she informed him.
"Ouh, fighting!" he cheered her.
"You too, fighting!" she said then hung up the call.
She smiled when the phone call was cut and looked at her phone. She sighed. It's really different when he gets possessive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They were guests at a variety show, together with some of her group members. He wasn't there but some of his group members were also invited.
During the show, there were a couple of people who pretended to be teachers and instructors.
She was asked by the hosts if one of the participants were her ideal type, she just went with the flow and said yes.
She was then called by the hosts to go to the stage since one of the participants would make a poem for her. She obliged since it was work.
What happened shocked her and everyone in the audience. She just shrugged it off, thinking it was part of the show.
Later that night, when she was about to sleep, she heard her phone ring.
"Yeoboseyo?"
"Tzuyu~yah, gwenchana?" she furrowed her brows.
"Neh, gwenchanayo." It was him! He sounded really worried.
"Jinjja gwenchana?"
"Neh sunbaenim. Waeyo?" she asked, curious. He must have been mistaken.
"I heard what happened in the show," he explained, referring to the show earlier. She was just silent. She pouted, she didn't understand.
"Did that guy touch you or something?" he asked.
"Aniyo," she politely answered.
"The hyungs told me what happened," he started. "You were hit on by some random guy during the show." Now, she understood.
"It was just work sunbae," she clarified.
"Still, you should be careful with guys like that. It may seem like they were acting but actually it wasn't just pure acting. They may seem kind but they're not."
"Neh sunbaenim." She knew he was busy but he took time to call her just to check on her. This made her heart swell.
Ani, ani! She shook her head. She shouldn't give a different meaning to his actions. He was just being a concerned sunbae to her, his hoobae.
She heard him sigh. "Please be careful next time," he pleaded.
"Neh, sunbaenim."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She smiled and her heart swelled remembering that. That was the start of him being over protective of her.
He tried to reason out his actions for her not to misunderstand. She actually didn't mind it at first but after he confessed, she understood his heart.
They were now at the venue of the fan signing event. They were just preparing before they would be called out to meet their fans.
"Are you sure about later?" Mina whispered to her, talking about her plan.
"Neh, unnie," she nodded to Mina.
Mina smiled. "I'll go with you. Don't worry, they'll like it. He'll like it!" She beamed at what Mina said.
"Gomawo unnie."
They were then called to enter the stage to meet their fans for the fan signing event.
"Are you ready?" Mina asked her. She nodded and covered her face with her hoodie and mask as she and Mina entered the sky dome.
She looked around, the dome was jam packed. No doubt this fan meeting was sold out. They were slowly heading to the spot the guys' manager reserved for them.
If Mina didn't call the guys' manager, they wouldn't manage to even get in. She then looked at the stage in front of her. They were just by the right side of the stage, a little farther from where the fans flocked but enough for them to see the guys perform.
She smiled while watching the guys sing and dance their hearts out. Watching him perform and giving every performance his all made her heart even pump faster. She always admired how he always worked hard.
He went far away from home to train and debut at such a young age yet was very strong-willed. These were a few things they both were similar to.
Giving up never crossed his mind. He also never showed anyone his weakness which made her fall for him more. Yet, she loved it when he would confide to her about his worries.
She was now cheering with the crowd. She also knew his group's fan chant. She was his number 1 fan, many would argue with her for that spot but she would never budge.
The guys' fan meeting ended with everyone amazed. She could seriously spend a whole day watching his group perform but that would be too much to ask. She still wanted him to be in perfect condition and never get sick.
"Kaja?" Mina asked her, she nodded to this.
While they were on their way to the guys' dressing room, she clutched her chest, she was more than nervous.
Mina knocked on the guys' dressing room and Jimin opened the door for them with a huge smile as he saw Mina.
Both girls bowed to the guys and the guys did the same to the girls. She saw his eyes widened and approached her instantly.
He raised an eyebrow to her indicating she had some reasoning out to do. She just shrugged her shoulders.
"Chukahae!" both girls bowed to greet the guys.
"Gomawo," the guys thanked the girls.
"Gomawo for this," she heard Jimin thanked Mina. Jimin was referring to the food on the table.
"Ani, this is actually Tzuyu's idea," Mina admitted
"Jinjja?" he looked at her with wide eyes. She just bowed her head.
"She even helped out in the cooking," Mina blurted out.
"Wooow," the guys chorused.
"You're a great cook!" Jin complimented.
"You should marry a great guy," Taehyung told her while placing his arm on her shoulders which made her flush. Jungkook then took Taehyung's arm away from her.
"Please enjoy the food," she bowed to the guys.
"Jalmukesamneda," the guys chorused.
He grabbed her hand and took her out of the room going backstage. They were now slowly walking around backstage.
He was still holding her hand, showing no signs of letting her hand go. There was no one around so they didn't need to worry about concealing their identities.
"I thought you couldn't come," he asked her.
She just shrugged her shoulders and smiled. "Surprise?" He hugged her.
He released from the hug, still beaming at her. "Gomawo for the food. You prepared a lot though."
"Didn't you like it?" she pouted.
"Ani," he answered. "I loved it!" he expressed.
"You didn't even taste the food yet," she sulked.
"I did, the guys were even surprised by the amount of food. They thought the staff bought it but as soon as I tasted it, I knew you made it." She smiled at his statement.
"You didn't need to do that though," he continued.
"Gwenchana, the unnies helped me. The side dishes were also bought," she admitted.
"Gomawo," he thanked her. She smiled at him.
They entered the stage. The stage was now clean. The dome was already empty.
He tried to take her to the center stage. She halted to a stop which made him turn to look at her with furrowed brows.
"I have something to say," she told him. He raised his eyebrows.
"Nado joha," she managed to confess while her face was flushing. His eyes widened, she bowed her head.
