Before I know it, I'm up to be the next one meeting the Bangtan boys. I proceed forward, my heart beating fast. J-Hope greets me with the warm smile, like the ball of happiness he is. "How are you doing today?" he asks, genuineness reflecting in his eyes. "My heart is beating pretty fast and I'm pretty nervous, but other than that, I'd say pretty good," I answer with an awkward smile. "Aww there is no need to be nervous. We love you as much as you love us, maybe even more, and I hope you will smile everytime you think about that. Never forget, you're my hope," he says, with a smile that instantly brings one on my face too. "I'll remember that." I smile the butterflies having a wrestling match in my stomach all gone now. I move on to Jungkook, sitting there with a flower band on his head, welcoming me with a toothy smile. "So nice to meet you! Hope you enjoyed the concert! Give me your album and I'll sign it for you," he says, his eyes crinkling with the smile. I hand over the album in my hand to him, excitedly. "So, did you like the new album?" he asks, expectantly. I smile and reply, "Of course I did, how could I not? All your albums are a source of joy for your fans.", and I mean it. I don't know how I would've worked through so many problems if not for their music and their existence itself. After I've compared my pinky with Jimin, asked Yoongi if he missed his bed (he did, FYI), received encouragement from Namjoon for my future college life and the writing career I hope to succeed in, and praised Jin for his handsome face, I face the moment I have been anticipating the most. I stand in front of Kim Taehyung, a person I've admired from afar for countless years. A person whose every word has helped me through all the hard moments. A person who made me laugh when even crying was not helpful. A person who means everything and more to me. I gulp slowly.
