After finishing the fan sign event that day.
Even after Yeoju came home, she couldn’t do anything for a long while.
She set down her bag,
sat on the bed and stared blankly at the wall.
After doing that for a while,
she carefully took the album out of her bag.
And slowly turned a few pages.
Taehyung’s autograph.
And familiar handwriting..
‘Noona, thanks for coming.
I waited a long time.‘
Below it was a tiny heart.
Yeoju stared at those words for a long time.
She lightly ran her fingertips over the writing.
That’s when it happened.
She was about to turn the page,
but there was something else written there.
Below the autograph,
numbers written very small.
Yeoju squinted.
“……Huh?“
She looked a little closer.
They were definitely numbers.
010-****-****
Yeoju froze on the spot.
“…What…“
She looked again.
It wasn’t a mistake.
It was definitely a phone number.
Yeoju’s heart started pounding quickly.
“No way…”
The things Taehyung had said today kept circling in her mind.
“You’re late”
“You came”
“Thank you, for coming”
And,
she remembered the moment Taehyung had called out at the end.
‘Noona.’
The words he’d said after a brief hesitation.
‘Next time, don’t take so long.’
Was that just a simple greeting.
Or had he stopped her
just to leave this number behind.
Yeoju stared at the number for a long time,
then shook her head.
“No.”
And yet her hand was already reaching for her phone.
Should she save the number.
Or not.
The moment she saved it,
she would really be connected to Taehyung.
No longer just a fan and an idol.
But if she didn’t save it..
maybe she could pretend
today had just been a coincidence.
It was up to her choice.
Whether she would become someone who shared everyday life with Taehyung,
or just pretend not to know and remain a fan and an idol.
