"Can you please stop tapping your fingers and try to relax?" Taeyang asked. "When you look like that, you make me worry."
847Please respect copyright.PENANAKRKqIqyDjw
"Sorry," I said as I lifted my fingers away from the dashboard of the car and leaned back in my seat, trying to relax.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAvtswfiXU3a
"What's gotten into you?" Taeyang managed to look at me even when he had to focus on the road.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAmbMYb45DiH
"You don't have a high fever, do you?" Christine who sat in the back seat asked. She leaned closer to place her hand on my forehead.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAYjxKmsiFSA
"No, no, I don't," I said as I waved her hand away and looked out the car window at God knows what.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAhjG4z2YEst
"You look nervous and excited at the same time that I can't really tell the difference," said Taeyang. "Are you sure you're okay?"
847Please respect copyright.PENANAgI1InD9mCx
"Are you worried that Zoey and G-Dragon will get into some kind of trouble?" Christine also asked.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAz9G2IikSMQ
"No, I'm not thinking about that," I said as I looked up at the rearview mirror to look at Christine.
847Please respect copyright.PENANANqylIk6mAU
"Then what's wrong with you? Taeyang's right. You look nervous yet excited."
847Please respect copyright.PENANAkC9rFPt5pG
"I don't know to be honest," I said as I scratched my head. "Do I look like a lunatic?"
847Please respect copyright.PENANAbMp67Lncsd
"If that how you're going to put it, then yes." Christine started to snicker.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAE4JUqGzeiY
"No, you don't," said Taeyang as he threw a look at Christine.
847Please respect copyright.PENANA8bMUG8CFkx
"I don't know, I feel really anxious," I said.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAMtIkFzoMzB
"Are you sure you aren't worried about Zoey and G-Dragon?" Christine asked.
847Please respect copyright.PENANANjafBM5UQK
"Why do you keep insisting on that?" I had my eyebrow raised, staring at the rearview mirror.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAMrz6Mvj4ik
"Well, because you didn't want them to go out shopping, remember?"
847Please respect copyright.PENANAFuOOfpsokk
"Ya, I know. But that's the least of my worries. They can do whatever they want."
847Please respect copyright.PENANAGaqUmylqOR
"Okay," said Christine as she leaned back in her seat. "I sure hope so."
847Please respect copyright.PENANAMwVzXzaaeU
"I know so. I don't know why I feel like this. Like something's going to happen."
847Please respect copyright.PENANAPxExDtKJli
I continued to look out the window as I heard Christine at the back unfolding a piece of paper. She was obviously looking at the grocery list we had made.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAG1IhgY00Z6
"We're going to have a lovely supper tonight," said Christine. "Sam, did you manage to tell Collins that we won't be back early?"
847Please respect copyright.PENANAcRRx2mbxem
"Oh, ya, I totally forgot," I said as I took my phone out of my pocket. "Thanks for reminding me, Christine."
847Please respect copyright.PENANAdKs1esY4GS
I called Collins and he wasn't picking up. I figured he might be busy so I left him a text message instead. I made sure to leave one for Lee too.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAT4WZr7cc1G
"Just texted him, he isn't picking up," I said.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAaabH4U79WB
"As long as he doesn't get mad," said Taeyang.
847Please respect copyright.PENANANU0btHs9sy
"Ha!" said Christine. "I just don't understand our managers sometimes. We always have to tell them we're here and we're there. It's like they have to keep tabs on us all the time."
847Please respect copyright.PENANAdqKTo20PND
"That's just how it is, especially with you guys," said Taeyang.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAYonLGQ83Pw
"Very true."
847Please respect copyright.PENANA2NXhCGI55o
We soon found ourselves in the parking lot of a grocery store and we got out of the car. When we entered the store, all eyes were on us as Christine got the shopping cart. Together with Taeyang we went around putting whatever was on the list in the shopping cart. I pretended not to notice the people around staring as they walked by.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAi2gUyZBV0x
We were in the vegetable aisle and I was putting in carrots and lettuce in the cart when Taeyang told us to stay right where we were and that he would be right back. He walked down the aisle and disappeared round the corner.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAISXrv3li8L
"I can't wait to make kimchi," said Christine. "I have to admit, trying out something new is exciting."
847Please respect copyright.PENANAWMrVI17aSG
"Mmm, I can't wait too," I said as I got another packet of carrots and putting it in the cart. "Speaking of which, I think I'll need some strawberries."
847Please respect copyright.PENANAI5fPi0j8eE
"Really, Sam? What for?"
847Please respect copyright.PENANAojrVw6qL6s
"To eat of course."
847Please respect copyright.PENANAs5Syr4fZXI
"Once you start to eat them, you never stop."
847Please respect copyright.PENANAOrDNmUmuKW
"True. But at least that only lasts for a day."
847Please respect copyright.PENANA3TXAqy8bpg
"Typical." Christine rolled her eyes at me and her eyes landed to the other aisle further away from us where the fruits were.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAoD2xHMjWDC
"There they are," she said. "You can go get them and I'll wait here."
847Please respect copyright.PENANApwM8x4NI9c
"Sure thing."
847Please respect copyright.PENANAuNWQdgMWoN
I walked over to the fruit stand surpassing large refrigerators that contained cold meat, fish and even frozen ice cream. I noticed all eyes on me as I walked by. Being a celebrity can really feel weird sometimes especially when the whole world knows you.
847Please respect copyright.PENANApqNE9f4YUL
As I approached the fruit stand, I couldn't help but lick my lips as I saw the lovely juicy strawberries. I hope nobody saw me do that. That would be embarrassing.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAuqikN7EwNq
The strawberries were packed in plastic lunchboxes. Below where the strawberries were were oranges all stacked together. I felt like opening a lunchbox and eating a strawberry, but I had to keep my craving under control.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAsYhTcTzHeo
As I stretched out to get the strawberries, someone appeared right beside me looking at the fruits. I didn't turn in the person's direction because I turned the other way to start heading back to where Christine stood waiting for me. As I turned, I knocked over an orange from the stand with my other free hand and it fell to the floor.
847Please respect copyright.PENANABus6LMOHiB
"Oh, goodness," I muttered as I turned to look at the orange.
847Please respect copyright.PENANA0KDHh9Z0y8
Just as I was about to bend over to pick the fruit up, the person beside me had also bent over to pick it. And then.....
847Please respect copyright.PENANA2nhYa0Xa9o
"Ouch!"
847Please respect copyright.PENANAegw9ajEyM7
"Aish!"
847Please respect copyright.PENANAALxS9BnUlM
We'd bumped heads. And it hurt a lot. We both straightened up holding our heads.
847Please respect copyright.PENANABkod6Id5PU
As we stared at each other, I couldn't help but smile. I could tell he was smiling back at me even if he wore a face mask on. As I stared back at him, I couldn't help but feel like he seemed familiar.
847Please respect copyright.PENANASdbP2Elqn6
His blonde hair fell close to his beautiful eyes and I couldn't help but look at him and he couldn't stop looking back at me. I noticed his pupils dilate. He looked surprised to see me. Where have I seen those eyes before?
847Please respect copyright.PENANAvmnWcRJfkQ
"Sam!"
847Please respect copyright.PENANAWQRDklZ4Me
I almost jumped in fright by the sound of Christine's voice. I turned to her direction and she was right where I had left her. Taeyang was standing right beside her and she beckoned with her hand telling me to come back.
847Please respect copyright.PENANA0he1akpKox
I nodded my head at her telling her that I would be right there. I went back to looking at the person before me. I couldn't help but feel that I knew who the person was but I couldn't figure out who. I yearned to know because right now, my heart was racing. I felt so excited, yet so nervous. I had to know who this person is. If I walk away now, this moment will be burned in my memory and I would be haunted forever just at the thought of his beautiful eyes.
847Please respect copyright.PENANArZ1wVAzsRr
I bent over to pick up the orange and I could tell his eyes still remained fixed on me. I felt like he was watching my every move. When I straightened up and put the orange back on the stand, I went back to looking at him.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAPOBw7ZMHbA
"Mianhae (미안해) (Sorry)," I apologised, my eyes never leaving his.
847Please respect copyright.PENANApAzkCmNK7e
I couldn't help it, I just had to know who he is. But I was running out of time. What was I going to do now?
847Please respect copyright.PENANACvjF7oaukG
"Sam? Black Kitty? Right?" he asked.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAQzFSr6tmao
My heart skipped a beat. Even his voice sounded familiar and I felt like singing "Hallelujah!" out loud. For whatever reason, only God knows. Not only did he look surprised, he sounded surprised too. That voice. I just couldn't recall where I have heard it from.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAzumy0pwzPR
"Yes," I said, trying to figure out what else to say next. "That's me. And...who might you be?"
847Please respect copyright.PENANAHjMjouKy18
He didn't hesitate to take his mask off and everything happened so suddenly. As he was removing his mask, a group of guys came round the corner entering the fruit aisle behind him. Everything then went in slow motion and as soon as the mask fell away from his face, I gasped.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAo9svIirdK6
Jimin stood right in front of me looking as surprised as ever and the rest of BTS had come around the corner behind him. When they saw me, they all paused. Now I was even more nervous and excited than ever before.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAMbrmAY0ExL
"J....Jimin?" I looked behind him. "B...BTS?" Now I was the one who was asking.
847Please respect copyright.PENANARtCrYBCO9c
"Aigoo! Is that BK? Like 'The Black Kitty?'" RM asked with a surprised look on his face.
847Please respect copyright.PENANABBVRdhsmnY
Right now, I felt like I was about to faint. I had just bumped heads with Jimin and the rest of BTS just showed up out of the blue. I couldn't even think right at the moment. This was probably the weird yet best day of my life.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAcfQviH1c5y
I couldn't help my excitement as I tried to say something but I was completely lost for words. The rest of BTS couldn't say a word either as we all looked at each other wondering what to do or say next. This was a lot to take in.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAE0HUstbbAe
It was until a scream broke out and echoed throughout the store that we were woken up from our little shock. And it was pretty obvious who could be screaming like a crazy lunatic.
847Please respect copyright.PENANAIu5NKYUrZw
"OMG! It's BTS!" Christine exclaimed.
