"I am so excited about Coachella! Blackpink is headlining Coachella this year along with my boo, Bad Bunny, and Frank Ocean!" As soon as she mentioned Blackpink, I immediately paused what I was watching. Kayla and I are huge Blackpink fans.
"Are you serious? Will they really perform at Coachella." I asked her to make sure I didn't hear her wrong.
"You heard me. Blackpink will be the festival's headlining act. We need to go and watch them." She replied.
"Duh! I can't believe I get to see Blackpink perform live at last." I am so excited.
"We also need to watch my Boo, Bad Bunny. Do you know him?" she asked.
I nodded, "He collaborated with Cardi B."
"Exactly. I have to watch him perform at Coachella. Do you know his other songs? It's a vibe." She said. She started gushing over that guy. She obviously likes this Bad Bunny guy a lot.
"His songs are sooo good. Here, let me play his song for you. I assure you, you might become a fan after hearing one of his songs." She said while typing something on YouTube.
"I actually like his verse in his song with Cardi B." I told her. I stood up to get my phone on my drawer.
"His album even won a Grammy last month, which was awesome." She said as I sat back down. The music video started playing. I look at my phone because I heard it ring, meaning I have a text from someone.

=============================================
"Mia! Stop texting! " I look up and saw my cousin looking at me.
"Sorry. What are we watching again?" I look at the monitor, I see a guy's back, and he is inside a grocery store.
"It's the music video of one of Bad Bunny's songs." She answered. I'm not gonna lie, the song is good. I started bobbing my head along with it.
I told her, "He looks a bit like Beni because of the facial hair and the sunglasses." I stopped bobbing my head when I saw his face without the sunglasses and the hat. I even squinted my eyes and took a closer look just to make sure I wasn't mistaken. I have bad eyesight, so I could be wrong.
I did notice the woman at the end of the video, and it appears like they are getting married. "Look, the girl at the end of the video is his girlfriend or ex-girlfriend. There's a rumor that they are in an open relationship and that they recently broke up, but I'm not sure." She said.
If he really is who I think he is, then that girl must be Gabriela. "Kayla, that's Beni." I told her after we were done watching the video.
"Why would he be your Beni? That's Bad Bunny. He's the world's most streamed artist on Spotify for three consecutive years. He's super famous." She said.
"I'm telling you, that's Beni." I insisted.
She didn't believe me and asked, "Are you high or something?"
If I hadn't seen him in the music video we just watched, neither would I believe me. "Let me show you his picture. He just sent me a picture 'cause he's on his way back to Puerto Rico." I opened our messages and showed her the photo he sent me, which, by the way, is the first-ever picture of him that I have on my phone.
"What the f*ck!" She exclaimed when she saw the photo.
"Both of them have septum piercings, and that curly hair is the same as Beni's. That hat at the beginning, he has that exact hat. I saw him wearing that before, and his voice is also the same. Wait, is that why he sounded exactly the same at that time?" I remember the first time I heard him rap.
"What's your friends complete name?" she asked.
"Benito Martinez." I answered.
"I know that Benito is Bad Bunny's name. Let me search him up." She did search his name on the net. "Benito Antonio Martinez Ocacio, born March 10, 1994, known professionally as Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican rapper and singer." She looks at me after she finished reading that.
"March 10? That was two days ago and it was also Beni's birthday." I said.
"Oh my god. How could you not know that he is Bad Bunny?" she asked with disbelief on her face.
"I don't even know who Bad Bunny is. I certainly didn't expect to run into a famous person at some random fast-food place. Although it has been a while, I remember watching the music video for his song with Cardi B. How would I know he is the same person in that video? Plus, he had short hair at that time." I said, defending myself.
"Why didn't he tell me?" I asked, looking at my cousin.
She shrugs, "I don't know."
I said, "Let's check more of his videos, I might still be wrong." Still unable to accept what I saw, we watched another music video to verify that he was my friend. Even his dumb braid hanging over his face and mustache are the same. It is him.
"So? Is it him or they just really look exactly alike?" Kayla asked while looking at me. I nodded.
"It is him." I confirmed.
"I can't believe I didn't recognize him that time at the restaurant." Kayla said. She's probably talking about the first time I met him.
"He's pretty difficult to recognize right now because he grew his hair and facial hair." I said.
"Could you also search José." If he is famous, his friends might also be famous. I'm just making sure.
"Jose?" She asked.
"Just check if there's a person related to Bad Bunny named José." She Googled his name, and we read the result that showed up.
"José Álvaro Osorio Balvín, born 7 May 1985, known professionally as J Balvin, is a Colombian rapper, singer and record producer. Bitch, you also met J Balvin?" My cousin said while looking at me in shock. I'm also in shock.
"How about Juan?" I asked and she also googled him.
"Juan Carlos Ozuna Rosado known simply by his surname Ozuna, is a Puerto Rican singer. Wait, he's the guy in Taki Taki. Don't tell me you met all of them without knowing their identities." I nodded.
"Oh my god. You lucky bitch! You seriously didn't have any idea? All of them are super popular." Why does she seem more shocked than I do?
"By the way, he is also an actor. He has a movie with f*cking Brad Pitt." She said and typed in something on YouTube and played a video.
"Is he really that popular?" I just saw him trying to kill Brad Pitt on the video.
"Did I not tell you how much money he made on his tour last year? I went to one of his concerts, and it was awesome. You've been hanging out with my boo for so long, and I can't believe you don't even know who he is." She said.
I really didn't have any idea, and it never crossed my mind that he was this famous person.
"Since you met his friends, did you also saw Gabriela?" she asked.
"No, they broke up." I told her and she immediately moved closer to me.
"Really? He told you that?" She asked with an obvious shock on her face, like I just told her something very important.
"According to Rosalia, they broke up recently." I said.
"Rosalia? What the f*ck? She's also super famous, and you just confirmed what they never confirmed in public." She said.
"At this point, I'm not even surprised anymore." I'm not mad at him. I'm just a bit upset. Does he think that I might use him or take advantage of him, which is why he didn't tell me?
Technically, he didn't lie to me. He did say he works in the music industry. He just left the part where he is famous, so I can't call him a liar. I took a picture of his Wikipedia information along with his picture and sent it to him.
