TJ(Tanaka Janna) a 23- year old extroverted lady wandered around the little hills of her hometown back in the village, she had decided to take a break from the city of Nairobi as she contemplated her life choices, TJ always wanted to be a writer, but where she was everyone reminded her that 'her stories will never be done justice to' as the industry was not yet in a place where she could tell the stories she loved. TJ wondered if she had picked the right career choice or was it her greed to be famous that made her outlook the perfect career which was to be a nun, well, maybe that was the case, but at the moment she was suffocating, she needed a break from everything and everyone, and to her luck, there was always one person who brought joy to her so-called miserable life, well two people but at the moment she could only meet one. TJ smiled at the thought of meeting him, it was ridiculous and impossible, she could only afford the regular ticket, and even though that would be the case but how would he see her in a crowded place of more than forty thousand people. Well, she had made mistakes in her life why not make the last one and use her savings to attend his concert? 

Since she needed to save money TJ decided to board a coach from her village back to Nairobi which took almost ten hours making her an hour early for her flight. She hurriedly took an Uber to the airport, well luck was not on her side, the president was going out of the country, all the services at the airport were halted for thirty minutes, people were frustrated as some of them feared their flights would take off, TJ was breathing heavily not wanting to think of what would happen if she missed her flight. It was only ten minutes to her flight take off, TJ decided to run with her luggage since there was a little traffic jam to the main gate of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Three minutes away from take-off, TJ heard the announcement of her flight and she had not yet checked in, the woman checking her ticket scolded her for being late which added to her frustrations, it was now only a minute to take off and she was still being checked, TJ ran around like a mad person not knowing where she's headed while she was already five minutes late and probably the flight had already taken off but it wasn't the time to give up, she had to fight for one thing, maybe she made wrong decisions but going to see him won't be termed as a wrong choice she tried to convince herself, tears rolling down her cheeks she couldn't make of what to think about the situation. At the counter, the lady checking her luggage became concerned for TJ so she decided to pry 

              'Why are you crying miss? ' She asked

               'Well, I booked a flight to go see my crush and fate decided to play with me, there was a traffic jam to the main gate and now I am seven minutes late for my flight and I do not know what to do' she answered between painful chuckles with frustration.

             ' Come down miss all the flights were delayed by half an hour and you have some minutes before your plane take off' she answered smiling, TJ's face lit up hearing the news, she felt like hugging the lady, but she was on the other side of the glass 

              'Thank you '  TJ said to her

               'Well fate is on your side, now go get your crush' she said admiring TJ, TJ hurried to the waiting lounge just then her flight announcement was made, she did not want to waste any more time, she hurriedly took her seat praying for take-off, anxiety and excitement both seen on her face as she enjoyed the view from above. 

After what felt like an eternity, the plane landed at Incheon International Airport. Normally if she was going somewhere she would take pictures but today she wanted to reach her hotel room faster and make a plan on how to meet him. TJ checked into a luxurious hotel deciding to add her list of mistakes, she wanted to feel heaven for this few days before going back to her reality. TJ settled in her hotel room, she decided to take a long nap since the concert was twenty-four hours away.

*****

The day had arrived and TJ was more nervous than excited to meet him, well not meet him but see him from afar and cheer for him, she dressed in a cute little African print romper, Maasai beaded necklace and white sneakers, making her hair into little Bantu knots, she looked at herself in the mirror admiring the daring girl for the first time. 

               'not too bad' she said to herself as she took the final look before heading out of the hotel. It was a few hours to the concert, fans were waiting outside everyone excited, TJ was conflicted as to whether she should start a conversation or not, she was in a different country with different culture and language, the little Korean she knew was from watching K-dramas and that was not enough to start a conversation so she decided to isolate herself and wait for the Idols to arrive before heading to the concert area. A few minutes passed and a black van arrived, seven boys got down and started greeting their fans, the entire time, arriving in Korea and eating their food it had not dawned to her that she was actually in the country until she saw her angels, the same angels who gave her strength to hold on when she needed the most, the people who taught her to love herself, the people who taught her that anything is possible if you believe, a mixture of emotions ran through her body, it started becoming hard for her to breath just then the person she was anxiously waiting to see her entire life stood in front of her, he held her tiny hands into his

               'What is your name miss?' he asked politely

              'TJ' she answered in between her heavy breaths

                'Hey TJ, I am JK' he introduced himself

                'do you mind counting with me to ten?' he asked she nodded still overwhelmed by emotions, the entire crowd was focused on the two of them, JK started counting with her until her breathing got even

              'You are doing good' he said, she was now calm a little, the idols were supposed to go in but JK asked for a little time while the rest of the group walked in, still unsure if she was completely fine JK decided to ask her a few more questions for her to be more calm and comfortable

                 'TJ do you want to tell me about you ?' he asked in a low voice that sounded like a whisper, she nodded showing a little smile

                 'I am your biggest fan, I just arrived a day ago from Kenya and I can't believe I'm here talking to you ' she chuckled as tears started forming in her eyes, JK smiled

                 'Do you mind if I give you a hug?' he asked waiting for permission from her if she was comfortable with his request, she nodded shyly, JK engulfed her into a warm hug, she was lost in his touch that she lost count of all the eyes which were on her, girls squealed at how they looked, tears of joy streamed down TJ's cheeks as she came into reality of what was happening, maybe she was in a dream because this happens in movies only but even if it was a movie she wanted to live her fairy tale to the fullest in those few seconds, adjusting herself in his embrace a teardrop landed on his shoulder, JK felt the wetness, he gave her one tight squeeze before letting go. 

                   ' I have to go now but it was nice to meet you TJ' he said smiling at her

                    'It was nice to meet you too Jay' she said smiling

                    'Hope I will see you inside' he said as he started walking

                    'Yes you will' she said smiling back, she watched him as he walked away that's when it hit her she had made a bracelet for him and she wanted to give him if she ever met him but now even if she told her friends or relatives back at home no one would believe her as she did not even have a photo with him, well maybe someday she will and who knows the concert is not yet over maybe fate will be on her side again.

The boys were relaxing backstage JK was on his phone going through God knows what, he felt a tap on his shoulder 

                'How is the girl you met outside?' RM asked

              ' Interesting ' JK replied still on his phone

             ' coming from the international playboy that's interesting and who the hell introduces themselves as JK' Jimin said catching JK's attention

             ' She said TJ so I went with the flow assuming we are using abbreviations ' 

            'Wow you are extra' Jimin said

They kept asking JK questions and soon it was time to go on stage. Inside the arena noises were getting pretty loud fans were shouting their Idol names, TJ didn't know what to do as it was her first concert, she stood at the back row talking to herself more like her mind talking, JK started hearing her voice but he assumed as maybe it was an aftermath of their encounter

               'Though you won't be able to hear my voice from here when cheering, Goodluck Jay' she wished him luck in her mind, hearing that JK smiled for a second 

              'what are you smiling about?' V asked 

              'Nothing' JK replied and that's when it hit him, the voice was not coming from within, he shrugged it off and went to the stage. The arena looked beautiful with light bulbs, the boys were singing and the fans would sing along with them, TJ on the other hand, had not mastered all the Korean lyrics, she would mumble when they sing and raise her voice when it came to the English parts

               'well, this is embarrassing how could you not cram the entire lyrics before coming' she thought to herself, JK heard the voice again chuckling in between the song, he scanned the arena to hear where the voice was coming from, meanwhile TJ was blurting in her mind not minding the environment, JK wanted to go to where the voice came from but he couldn't as it was too far back.

The concert was over, TJ had recorded videos of herself in the concert and could not believe how possible it was, she enjoyed the moment and wished it would last forever. Now the adventures were over and it was time to go back to her normal life, figure out if she wanted to go back to school and pursue another dream or wait for a breakthrough in her industry. She decided to stay behind a little longer until the crowd was all gone. Seeing the staff set down equipment in the arena TJ decided to talk to one of them, she introduced herself in Korean but it soon came to a halt as she did not know how to continue

                ' I am sorry that's where my Korean ends, do you mind if we converse in English?' she asked awkwardly

                ' Not at all, you should have started with that ' the lady said to her 

                 'Sorry I didn't want to come off as rude you know' TJ said flashing a little smile

                  'so how may I help you?' the lady asked 

                 'Well I have something I wanted to give Jungkook but it is not possible, since you are here would  you mind helping me get to him, I would appreciate it as this is the last time I am probably coming to their concert' TJ said 

                   'Why don't you give him yourself' she was interrupted by Jungkook who was standing behind them, TJ took a minute to soak in the embarrassment as she did not have words to say, she slowly turned around seeing Jungkook who had his hands in his pockets while staring straight at her. 

                     'I am sorry, it is just something stupid I made and I won't feel bad if you won't take I mean..' she was cut off by Jungkook who moved forward 

                      'Wow you are judgy' TJ was now praying for earth to swallow her, she was embarrassing herself in front of someone she wanted to appear perfect to, Jungkook stretched his hand for her to put the bracelet, she slowly took the bracelet and helped him wear it, the bracelet blended well with his dark clothes and his skin tone, it looked lovely that she admired it on him for a few seconds before being brought back to reality 

                       'It is beautiful, thank you ' Jungkook said. 

                       'It's nothing,' she tried to sound cool but her heart was exploding from his comment. To avoid bursting out in joy, TJ unlocked her phone looking at the time but Jungkook notice his photo as her lock screen.

                          'You know I have better pictures if want' 

                         'This is embarrassing good lord' she mumbled to herself

                          'Well I should get going it is late and I do not want to miss my flight tomorrow' she added 

                           'Ooh okay it was nice to meet you again, travel safe, and thank you for the gift' Jungkook said unsure of what he was feeling if he was going to miss her or not

                            ' Well I will miss you Jungkook, take care' TJ said back

                            'you can call me Jay I like it better' he said, TJ nodded, she started walking away but she stopped midway, she knew this chance might not present itself again. 

                            ' Listen, I know this is a dream and I'm probably going to wake up in the morning and I am back in the village but hope you won't mind what I am about to do'  she said nervously and walked more like ran to Jungkook and hugged him

                              'I am going to miss you a lot Jay and I know we come from two different worlds but don't forget me please' she said overwhelmed by emotions 

                               'Don't worry TJ I won't forget you' he said TJ smiled 

                               'Don't dare to open it now, open when you are seventy' she said chuckling a little, she put a letter in his hand and ran away not looking back, Jungkook smiled as he watched her disappear out of the arena.

*******

 TJ was back at the hotel, she smiled brightly walking to the reception, her mind was still stuck at the arena, she smiled at the thought of Jungkook requesting her to call him Jay, it was weird yet so touching, she wanted to scream but that would be reserved for another day, she walked without looking ahead and suddenly bumped into her second dream but maybe a  nightmare at the same time, at this moment she was grateful that fate was on her side by then again fate was here to ruin her life, 

                 'Sorry miss' the gentleman said 

                  'This keeps getting better and better' TJ mumbled to herself

                  'Are you okay?' he asked again, TJ took two deep breaths before  blurting out her mind                      'Well I am not sure if I am okay or not if this is a dream or not I mean, I met two of my crushes in one day isn't it so nice, I mean sorry, I am your greatest fan,  I am so obsessed with your works that I'm sad sometimes when you do not release it back to back' TJ said non stop not minding her environment

              'Well that is a lot and I am glad you are my fan' he said calmly 

               'Sorry by the way I am TJ, you can call me Ekirapa if you manage to pronounce' she said offering him her hand then she remembered people bow in K-dramas so she did it too, the gentleman chuckled at her behaviour

              'I am...' TJ cut him off 

                'I know who you are, I mean who doesn't know Park Bo-gum' she said trying to compose herself and not seem starstruck, there was a minimal silence and she decided to blurt again

                 'Do you mind if we take a picture?' she said

                  'Not at all 'he answered probably confused at her behaviour, TJ took her phone and unlocked it, the lock screen had Jungkook's photo while the home screen had Park Bo-gum's photo 

                     'Well I see my competition' Park Bo-gum said 

                     'It is not that way, you two are my favourite, I love you the same' she said 

                      'I am sure you do' he answered back, TJ wasn't sure if he was being playful or sarcastic, they took selfies  and suddenly TJ started feeling weak so she had to cut her little fantasy time there 

                   'Thank you so much Bo-gummy, it was lovely to meet you ' she said not to sound like she's cutting off their moment 

                    'You too TJ, I will see you around and I will make sure I am your lock screen too' he said playfully 

                     'Do you mind' TJ said opening her arms 'Sorry I am a hugger' Park Bo-gum hugged her for a few minutes then let go 

                      'By the way, one day I hope you do a fan meeting in Kenya' TJ said, Park Bo-gum nodded flashing her a bright smile, she waved goodbye as she walked to the lift.

                         'Ooh my God, I met Thee Park Bo-gum, I mean can't today get any better' she thought to herself squealing like a typical fangirl, Park Bo-gum turned to her his expressions unable to be read by anyone around. 

******

TJ entered her hotel room, her body becoming weak by the minute, beads of sweat seen on her forehead, she tried to support herself but her legs were becoming weak meanwhile Park Bo-gum stood at the exact place still looking at the lift 

********

Jungkook entered the Van with the other members, he felt his body experience changes he couldn't explain, he tried to shrug off thinking it is just from being tired. 

                  'I am going to take a long bath then watch the new marvel movie ' Jimin thought to himself 

                     'How about we watch Infinity war instead of that ' Jungkook said to Jimin, Jimin turned to him confused 

                      'You just said you want to watch the new marvel movie' Jungkook said to him

                       'No I did not' Jimin said

                       'Hyung you didn't hear it?' he asked J- Hope who was seated next to him

                        'You are the only one who's talking' J- Hope said to Jungkook 

                        'Now they are disturbing my sleep' Suga thought

                         'See Hyung just said we are disturbing his sleep' Suga opened his eyes trying to process as he didn't say it out loud

                        'Jungkook how did you hear that, I didn't say it out loud' Suga said

                        'Hyung think about something without saying it out loud' Jungkook told RM curiosity killing him               

                       ' UN SDG's ' RM though in his mind

                        ' You are thinking of the UN SDG's right?' Jungkook asked RM who was now dumbfounded, Jungkook asked everyone in the van to think about something and he found he could hear all their thoughts 

                          'When did it start? how did it start? , are you one of the X men now?' V asked playfully, Jungkook took a little time to process everything then a thought hit him 

                            'it is the girl TJ, it started right after I met her' Jungkook said 

                               'Waah, daebak!' V exclaimed, Jungkook started hearing their thoughts becoming louder and louder then everything went black

                              'Jungkook!' all the members called in unison to Jungkook who had already passed out in his seat.
