I stared at my phone contemplating whether or not I should open the messages.I definitely know they are from Hoseok.The classes had just ended.Hoseok hasn't come to university today because of his dance practice and God knows what he has written in the message.I am feeling so much bad vibes from looking at the notification.
I have been staring at the notification when a new notification came.
You have received a message!
I sighed and decided to open the messages even though I have been getting really bad vibes from them.
I took a deep breath and opened them.

I frowned.He does have a lot of my embarrassing pictures in his phone.Ahh!!I don't get why I act so stupid in front of him!?
I quickly replied to him saying that I'm coming in 30 minutes.He then replied,

I immediately rolled my eyes.Why did i associate myself with him?He is not normal.
And if you're wondering why am I badmouthing him when I have his name so sweetly saved on my phone.
The answer is no.I didn't save his number like this.He himself did.He takes my phone without permission.He had added his name as 'my hope' at first with at least 6 emojis but I somehow convinced him and now it has less emojis and the 'my' is out.Convincing him was hard.I even had to buy him sprite at last.
Do you now get why I think he's not normal?
It's the first time I have ever come to the big hit entertainment.I knew it was a famous entertainment agency but because I didn't ever see it,I didn't know it was this big.I was surprised to see how big it was!
I slowly walked towards the information desk and told the staff member there,"Excuse me?"
She looked at me and smiled,"Ma'am,how may I help you?"
"I needed to give some notes to J-hope-sshi,can I drop them here?"
She looked at me and asked,"Ma'am are you Ms.Im Eunji?"
I was shocked that she knew my name but nodded.
She smiled,"We have been informed about you coming.J-hope-sshi has asked us to take you to the third floor."
Why can't I just leave them here?Why do I have to go up?It's so annoying.
Another staff member escorted me to a room on the third floor.As soon as I entered the room,it shocked me.The room was big but empty.The only thing there was a giant piano in the middle of the room.The lights were dimmed.The room was the perfect place to play the piano.The staff member told me that Hoseok was a bit busy so he asked me to wait for sometime.I nodded and then was left alone in the room.
I looked around the room for sometime and got bored quickly.There wasn't actually anything to do.So I sat on the floor and decided to play on my phone.But got bored again.As if time was passing by really slowly.I knew why.Because a piano was in front of me.
I looked at the piano.
Should I try.....for once?
Then I shook my head immediately.Why would I?I gave it up years ago!And this is not even mine.Why would I?
I sighed looking at the piano.I quickly sent a message to Hoseok asking when he would come.It has been 15 minutes already.His reply came soon.

What to do?Looks like it'll take me a bit more time!!Please don't go and wait😭😭
Sent:1.33 pm
I rolled my eyes but still decided to wait again.But he still didn't come.
5 minutes passed...10 minutes passed...15 minutes passed...still no sign of Hoseok.
I was getting so impatient.I don't know for how long I will be able to wait.I don't know for how long I will be able to stay away from the piano.
As if my heart was telling me to go and play the piano desperately.As if my heart was crying for it.I could also hear my mom's voice in my head asking me to play it for once.I missed playing it.And how long has it been since I saw one last?This is my opportunity.
Fuck it!
I thought and I got up to sit in front of the piano.I couldn't stand being in front of a piano for this long and not play it.I didn't care what anyone else thought at that moment.I knew I wanted and needed this.
I took a deep breath and ran my fingers across the piano and then slowly started.I closed my eyes and slowly pressed the keys and started to play one of my favorite piano songs Billy Joel's "piano man".
I knew I forgot a lot and was far from perfect.But I was happy that I could play it.I was so immersed into it.At one part of playing tears started to drop from my eyes.I wasn't sure if it was because of happiness of getting to play the piano again or sadness because I stayed away from it for so many years.
After I pressed the last key I removed my hands from the piano.Tears were still streaming down.My heart was beating so fast with excitement and happiness and also a bit sorrow.
As soon as I finished I heard clapping.I was shocked and quickly opened my eyes and turned to the direction.I saw Hoseok standing while leaning against the door and clapping.
I quickly wiped my tears and got up.When did he even come in?I was so immersed into the music that I completely didn't notice him coming in.
"Oh Hoseok-ah,didn't see you there."I said,completely embarrassed.I used the piano without his permission.Why couldn't I stop myself?That's so embarrassing!I want to hide somewhere.And Why didn't be tell me that he came in.
Hoseok didn't reply,just smiled....in victory?
I frowned.Why does he look like he has achieved something huge?
"Sorry for using the piano without permission.I just got a bit carried away...You see I like piano a lot.."I said while rubbing my hair and looking down.
God knows what he's gonna say now.
"I knew it."He said,"I was so damn right!!"
I frowned and looked up.What's he saying?
"Piano is your passion,right?It was your dream!I so knew it!!"Hoseok exclaimed."I was successful!"
What does he even mean?
In fact,you know what?
I don't even want to find out.I will just give him the notes and leave.I am too embarrassed to stay in front of him for longer.
I was about to reach out for my bag but then Hoseok said,"My plan was successful.I have found my next mission.I will make you get back to piano."
I looked at him,"Huh?That means you planned all this?"
Hoseok nodded happily.
"That means you didn't need notes?You just brought me here to see if I actually play piano?"
Hoseok nodded,"And I was standing outside this room for more than 30 minutes waiting for you to play the piano.My legs hurt and I was about to give up.But I was successful!!Hurray!!"
I was going to burst out of anger.He planned all this?He put me in such an emotional turmoil?He made me play piano again intentionally when I gave it up years ago?
"I told you to not to interfere in my life,Jung Hoseok,"I said while gritting my teeth.
"Why are you getting angry?Shouldn't you be happy because I helped you rediscover your passion?"He asked.
"Grateful?Rediscover?Do you know how much it took me to give up piano?And you are asking me to be grateful when you made me face the same feelings?Do you know how it feels?Jung Hoseok,Do you?"
"I do know."He said,"I had to give up on dancing for sometime too.I know."
"But I told you to not inter.."
What he said next caught me off guard,"But you looked so happy.You were shining so brightly while playing it.You looked like you don't care about anything in the world.Isn't that what people want?"
I looked happy?
I was shinning brightly?
I shook my head.He is trying to sway me with his sweet talk.I can't let that happen.I looked at him again and prepared myself to say something really harsh but right then we both heard some noise from outside the door.As if someone was standing really close to the door.
I was confused and looked at Hoseok.He put his index finger on his lips indicating me to stay quiet.I stayed quiet while Hoseok slowly held the door knob.
After a few moments of staying silent Hoseok pulled the doorknob and opened the door suddenly.
And the scene I saw made my eyes wide.I did not expect that.
As soon as Hoseok opened the door six boys fells right on to the floor of the room,one on top of another.It looked like they had their ears pressed against the door and were trying to eavesdrop our conversation.
"Ouch!"All of them said as they fell over on the floor.When they realized they were caught they slowly sat up on the floor and rubbed their hair and scratched their head in embarrassment.
"Umm..hi I guess?"The tallest of them asked.
I could guess who they were.Hoseok talks about them continuously.But I've never seen them before.
"Hoseok-ah,you could just open the door a bit slowly,"Another one of them said.
Hoseok was laughing really hard but replied somehow,"Hyung..how did you agree to this?Aren't you supposed to be the responsible one?"
"They dragged me here while I was trying to rest!"That guy complained."It's all their fault."
Then suddenly they got an argument on whose fault it was.I was so shocked by this!What're they doing?How did they suddenly start fighting?
This can't be normal,can it?
After a while they finally stopped when one of them asked,"Hoseok hyung,why don't you introduce us?"
"Oh.."Hoseok somehow stopped laughing and said,"Eunji-ah,you probably guessed already,but these are my bandmates.Meet BTS!"
Suddenly one of them said,"We will introduce ourself.One..two..three..BANG.."
"TAN!!"The rest of them shouted,scaring me.
"Hello,we are BTS!"They said.
I wasn't sure what to do while all of them were looking at me so I just awkwardly waved and said,"Hi,I'm Eunji."
"I hope we will get along well!!"The one that did the greeting,supposedly the leader,said.
The rest of them smiled widely at me.
I smiled nervously.Hoseok was still laughing.
I don't know why but I am getting a weird feeling about this.
