So here you were, standing in line somewhere in Seoul because you could’t say no to an eleven year old girl. You undeniably had a soft spot for her after spending the past month together. Her parents both work full time in the hotel sector ( think rival CEOs ) so they often have to travel to luxurious places where they can’t always take her with them. Which they often deeply regret. They are good parents you know, but sometimes they are just not at home so they kind of took you in as an au pair. You had your own small apartment in their duplex (think extravagant penthouse). The only thing you needed to do in exchange was take care of their kid when they weren’t there and teach her some English while you were at it.

“Y/N, do you think he will like my gift?” Mimi asked you while holding a little mushroom hat she had carefully picked out for her favorite member.

‘Of course he will! He isn’t even wearing a hat at the moment. He will most likely put it on and take a photo while pouting cutely.” Your comforting words worked instantly as a small smile found its way back to her face. “You aren’t nervous, are you? I mean, if you are scared we can always go back and eat some ice cream, you know.” She shook her head with terror in her eyes. 

“No! Am not nervous.” Her English had remarkably improved since you started tutoring her. “Y/N is nervous.” And she couldn’t be more right, you were nervous. Even though you weren’t the biggest BTS fan, you were still a fan. KPOP being the main reason you started to learn Korean when your parents wanted you to take French courses. 

“Yes, Y/N is nervous because these people are almost pushing you to the ground and I don’t want you to get hurt.” Some people behind you heard your conversation and stopped pushing. You thankfully bowed.

“Your Korean is good for a foreigner.” A girl your age remarked. Typically Korean to give you a compliment while still making you feel like it wasn’t meant as a one. 

“I only got better because of this little one.” You said while gesturing to Mimi. “She is a better teacher than I am, to be honest. She is more strict you see.”  You got a little laugh out of the new girl and an almost scolding look from Young Mi. She quickly turned her attention when the line started moving again. 

“These tiny ones are quite a hand full.” It was her turn to gesture toward a small girl. The little one seemed a bit younger then Young Mi but she had the same determination in her eyes. 

“You’ve got to applaud their enthusiasm and dedication for these 7 boys. If only I could temper it a little bit so I could watch some tv instead of doing BTS dance routines 24/7.” Another laugh escaped and it felt like I a was making my first real friend, not counting Mimi, while being in Seoul.

“Y/N it is our turn! Hurry.” Mimi yelled while pulling my arm to try and make me go faster. Apologetically I smiled toward the stranger and made my way onto stage with Mimi. 

It is the first time that I’m seeing the members of boyband BTS in real life. And so far I am not disappointed. They are promoting their new album and all were styled with different hair colors. The first boy who was instantly charmed by Young Mi is Kim Taehyung. He stood out the most and if you were completely honest, the reason you didn’t really mind dancing along with Mimi to their music videos. 

“And who are you?” His boxy smile appeared bigger than ever and you couldn’t be more proud of your little prodigy. 

“Young Mi, eleven years.” She shook his large hand while a blush spread on her face. “This is Y/N.” Now it was your turn to blush as you had previously agreed you were only here to support her. You didn’t feel the need to be introduced or banter with the members as this was Mimi’s moment to shine. 

“Do you speak Korean?” Were his first words toward you and you couldn’t help but to fall in love with the effort he made to communicate with you. 

“Yes, this little devil has been teaching me so you don’t need to speak English. Please speak in your native language.” You got a little laugh out of Taehyung and an eye roll from Mimi. 

They spoke while you awkwardly looked around the room. Jungkook also engaged in their conversation and was also immediately charmed by Young Mi. They were holding her hands and asking her questions as she was growing more confident to speak her mind. After a couple of minutes we got told to move on to the next member but I still managed to get a picture of Mimi and some of the boys. 

You were looking at the pictures you just took on your phone and couldn’t help but smile. Young Mi’s face was as red a tomato but she wore the color proudly and with the biggest grin you had ever seen on her face. She was talking to Kim Seokjin, her favorite member, and as she was exchanging gifts you felt eyes burning on your face. You glanced and were met with a perfect pair of brown eyes. The kind of eyes you read about in books because the color is so hard to describe, because of the warm feeling you get while gazing in them and the kind of eyes to make you blush like you had never before.  

“Hi! I don’t think I was introduced to you by Young Mi. I’m Jimin. You were busy taking pictures of her from every possible angle. I thought it was best to let the professional do its job.” He joked and his enthusiasm spread through you like wildfire. 

“I don’t speak Korean.” Were the first words that popped in your head and you saw panic cross all over his face. If you were being completely honest, it was the cutest thing you had seen all day. His face was red, his eyes were in shock and his mouth tried to come up with something to say.

“Sorry, I- o- …” he tried and you started laughing. It might have been a bit cruel of you but his now confused expression was so worth it.

“No, I am sorry. I do speak Korean but I occasionally like to joke around. I do am really sorry.” You bowed during the last sorry and his smile was found again on his face. His gorgeous face, if you might add. His features looked like they were sculpted by Gods and it was your gift to have a glimpse of such perfection. Your thoughts were interrupted by Mimi who asked if you could take a picture of her and Seokjin. While taking out your phone, you smiled at Jimin as to say your goodbye. He was having none of it. 

“No, let me take the picture please.” He came over to where you were standing. Young Mi was as speechless as you were but she had Jin putting his arm around her to comfort her while you had your phone taken out of your hands by Jimin. 

He took a couple of pictures and instructed what they needed to do such as doing the peace sign and cute pouting. After he was finished he changed the direction of the camera and started to take selfies with you. He sensed you being uncomfortable and put his arm around you while making funny faces. You couldn’t help but laugh at his cuteness. He gave back your phone and returned to his seat all the while his eyes never left you. As if his eyes were made to be watching you. 

“Thank you so much, Jimin.” Mimi cried happily as she took your phone to look at the pictures. She ran off stage while you remained staring silently at Jimin. 

“You just made her day so now I’m even more sorry because of that little stupid joke. I will show my regret by choosing you as my official favorite member of BTS. It is not much but it is what I can give you on such a short notice.”

“I can’t thank you enough for this honor.” He proudly bowed as he played along. “There is only one thing I need more.”

“Please favorite member Jimin, what more do you need?”

“Your name.” Was the only thing he stated and you were dumbfounded for a moment. Jimin, a member of the most famous boyband in the world, wanted to know your name. It probably didn’t mean much as he was out here asking everyones name as soon as they approached his side of the table. But you couldn’t shake the feeling of him favoring you a bit more, of him choosing you as the person he would remember from this day.

You were taken out of your trance by Mimi yelling from the other side of the stage “Y/N, please act cute so I can take a nice picture of you and Jimin.” Jimin quickly stood up and made a cute face next to yours as you stuck out your tongue.
