1/2

Kim Jinae yawned and rubbed her eyes as she dragged her luggage through the airport. Jinae is 22 years old and currently resides in Canada, but the rest of her family lives in Korea. When she was in high school, she took part in a student exchange program and got the opportunity to stay with a family as well as attend a high school in Toronto for a few weeks. While she was there, she got the opportunity to visit some universities and one in particular caught her attention. They offered a program for a career that Jinae's been interested in ever since she was a little girl that wasn't offered in the schools in Korea. So when she returned home, she applied for an international scholarship for that university and was one of the lucky few to receive it. So every year, during her break, she would visit her family and stay with them for two weeks.

"Umma, I love you with all my heart, but I made a huge mistake letting you book my flight back online," Jinae said as her parents and sister waited in line with her to check-in.

"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry? I swear it said 4pm," Mrs. Kim said, pouting at her daughter.

"Well if it said 4pm, we wouldn't be standing here at--" Jinae checked her watch, "--1:45 in the morning."

"Okay, okay, I get it. It's my fault. I'm sorry sweetie." Jinae sighed and put an arm around her mother.

"You're forgiven, Umma. But I'm never letting you book my flights ever again." Mrs. Kim huffed as Mr. Kim and her sister laughed.

After Jinae checked in, they walked together over to the side to say their goodbyes. She was about to say goodbye when she noticed a crowd of girls forming around the check-in line. They seem to be in their teens and some were holding posters, but Jinae couldn't read them.

"Jae, do you know what's going on there?" she asked her sister, pointing at the crowd.

"Apparently B2ST has a flight today too. You would think that at 2 in the morning, these girls would be in their beds, fast asleep, or doing something more productive, but no. They would much rather go to the airport and stalk idols," Jae replied, rolling her eyes.

"You're just mad because you didn't know. I know you, Jae. Judging by the hundreds of poster that you have of them on your walls, you'd be at the front of that crowd if you knew that they would be here," she stated, ruffling her sister's hair.

"Shut up," Jae muttered.

Jinae has listened to B2ST's songs before and she likes them, but she wouldn't say that she's a big fan.

"Oh my God, unnie! Do you know what I just remembered?" Jae asked excitedly, jumping up and down and shaking Jinae.

"What? What?"

"Guess where B2ST's next Beautiful Show will be!" Jae continued to jump up and down until Jinae held her still.

"Can you just get to the point already?"

"Toronto, unnie! They're going to Toronto! If they're here right now then that probably means you guys are on the same flight! Oh my beautiful Dongwoon, what if you see them? Or, or, or what if you get to sit beside one of them on the plane? Can you get me autographs? Maybe a picture of them all? No wait, can you get a video of them saying hi to me or something?" Jae kept on rambling on and on about how much she loves them. Jinae had to stop her by clasping a hand over .

"Calm down, Jae. Sometimes I still can't believe that you're turning 20 this year. I'll try to get you an autograph, okay? But don't get your hopes up too high. They're idols, so they'll probably be staying at a private area or have tons of airport staff and bodyguards surrounding them."

"I know, I know. But just try, okay?"

"I will." Jae squealed and hugged Jinae. She laughed, ruffling her hair again. "Well, I should get going. I still have quite a distance to walk to get to my gate."

"We'll miss you Jinae," Mr. Kim said as he gave his daughter a hug.

"I'll miss you too, Appa. Umma and Jae too. Maybe next time you guys could come to Canada to visit me." Mr. Kim nodded.

Once they said their goodbyes, Jinae made her way to her gate. When she got there, she looked around for any signs of B2ST, she couldn't see any of them anywhere. Jinae was a bit disappointed that they weren't there because it means that she wouldn't be able to get that autograph for her sister.

"Jae will be so sad," she muttered to herself. Accepting the fact that she probably won't get to see them at all during the flight, she sat down and made herself comfortable, falling asleep minutes later since it was only 2:15 in the morning.

When Jinae woke up, she looked at her watch and saw that it was almost 3am. She needed to use the washroom, so she gathered all of her belongings and walked around the find one. While walking, she looked to her left, not noticing someone walking out of the men's washroom until she crashed right into him, sending both of them to the floor.

"I am so, so sorry. I didn't see you there!" Jinae quickly got up and repeatedly apologized to the man. She held out her hand and helped him up, then picked up the things that flew off him. When she handed him his stuff, she looked up at him and gasped when she realized who he was. "My God, how embarrassing! Of all the people that I could run into, it had to be an idol. You're Yong Junhyung, right? Are you okay? I didn't hurt you, did I?"

"Don't be embarrassed. I'm used to fans trying to hug me. Although, I didn't expect someone to literally throw themselves at me." Jinae's face turned red as Junhyung chuckled.

"Yah! It was an accident and I said sorry already," she retorted, but laughed as well.

"I know, I know, I was just kidding." Junhyung put his glasses and hat back on, then zipped his hoodie all the way up to avoid recognition. In a way, Jinae felt sorry for him. Everywhere he goes, he needs to disguise himself or have a bodyguard following him.

"You should get back to where you and your group are staying. People might start noticing you. Even with those glasses, hat and your hoodie zipped up, I would've recognized you from far, and I'm not even an obsessive fan." Junhyung nodded in agreement.

"Before I go, since you know my name, isn't it only fair that I know yours?"

"Oh, right. My name is Kim Jinae," she said, holding out her hand. Junhyung shook it. So cute.

"Nice to meet you, Jinae. May I ask where you are heading?"

"I'm actually studying in Canada at the moment. We have a break, so I visited my family."

"Hey, we're heading to Canada too. Our next show is in Toronto. Do you live near there?" The two somehow ended up sitting on a nearby bench.

"Oh yeah, my sister told me that you guys were having a concert there. I don't live near there, I actually live there." Junhyung's grin grew wider. Jinae looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Why are you smiling like that?"

"O-Oh nothing. Just thought it was cool that we're going to the same place." Jinae smiled back and for a moment they looked into each other's eyes. Junhyung felt his face heat up and Jinae's heart started racing.

"I--"

"Attention all passengers of flight 2675, Seoul to Toronto. We will start boarding in 15 minutes. Please have your ticket, passport and/or visa ready. Thank you."

They broke their gaze and looked away awkwardly.

"Um...y-you should go back to your group and I should go back to the gate."

"Oh, y-yeah we should. It was nice to meet you, Jinae. I hope we see each other again." This time, it was Junhyung who extended his hand. Jinae shook it and smiled, hesitantly looking up at him.

Throughout the flight, Junhyung and Jinae didn't see each other as B2ST is in business class, while she in coach. Junhyung got a glimpse of her when he went to the bathroom, but she was sleeping. He noticed that there was no one sitting beside her and he wanted to sit beside her so badly to keep her company, but he knows that he can't do that. He can't deny that he definitely feels something different for Jinae, even though they only met a few hours ago. But he knows that it can't happen, no matter how much he wants it to.

"Hyung? Are you going to use the bathroom? I need it," Yoseob said, snapping him out of his thoughts. Junhyung turned around and moved aside to make way for his band mate.

"Yeah, use it." Yoseob looked over Junhyung's shoulder to look at what he was previously staring at.

"Hyung, why were you staring at that girl? Do you know her?"

"We met earlier, when I went to the bathroom. That's why it took me a long time to get back to the private room." Yoseob had a sly grin on his face. "What?"

"You like her don't you?" He started to poke Junhyung's stomach. "Come on, admit it. You have the hots for her. Do you even know her name?"

"Her name is Kim Jinae and she lives in Toronto. She's cool."

"Aw, Junhyungie-hyung has a crush!"

Unbeknownst to them, Jinae was still awake. She couldn't help but smile at what she heard, but it was immediately replaced with a frown when she realized that nothing can ever happen between them.

When they arrived in Toronto, B2ST was the first to get off the plane. As they were walking, Junhyung managed to slip away from his group and hid inside a family washroom. He kept the door slightly opened as he watched the passengers of the plane walk by. When he saw a familiar face, he immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her inside. Jinae let out a shriek, thinking that it was some .

"Jinae, calm down, it's me, Junhyung." He let go of her and stepped back so that she could see that it's really him. Her panicked expression was quickly replaced with anger as she smacked his chest.

"What the hell? You don't just pull someone inside a washroom like that. I thought you were a kidnapper or something," she hissed.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I couldn't exactly come up and talk to you with so many people walking around and a number of fans waiting outside."

"Why do you want to talk to me?" Jinae was a bit calmer now, but her heart was still pounding like crazy, though she doesn't know if it's the fact that she almost had a heart attack or if it's because Yong Junhyung, an idol, was standing only several feet away from her.

"I just wanted to say that it was really nice talking to you earlier. I wish we could hang out some more, but unfortunately, we have so much to do for the concert on Sunday." He smiled sweetly at her and she couldn't help but blush.

"Well, that's too bad. It was nice talking to you too, Junhyung." Jinae then felt a vibration in her pocket. She took out her phone and saw that her aunt texted her.

From: Aunty

Jin, we're at the airport. We'll be waiting for you at the usual place. Can't wait to hear about your trip! :)

"I have to go. My aunt's waiting for me."

"Wait, can I...um...have your number? Maybe we could text each other or something?" Junhyung bit his lip as he waited for an answer. God, she probably thinks I'm a creep, he thought.

"Uh...y-yeah sure." Am I dreaming? Did he actually ask for my number? she thought.

After exchanging numbers, they said goodbye and smiled at each other before parting ways.

When he got to the car, the rest of the group looked at him, smirking.

"So..." Doojoon started.

"Did you get to talk to Jinae?" Dongwoon asked.

"How did you...?"

"Yoseob," they all said in unison. Junhyung glared at the visual maknae.

"What? They'll find out anyway. But seriously hyung, you looked like a , pulling her in the washroom like that." The whole group burst out in laughter, leaving Junhyung to huff and bang his head on the window.

It has been several days since Junhyung and Jinae's encounter. Since then, they constantly text each other, sometimes as early as 5am. They both feel like even though they haven't talked much face-to-face, in a way, they've become closer. They would ask each other questions about themselves and from that, they've gotten to know each other better.

One evening, Jinae was in her dorm room, studying for an exam. She was about to get up to get some water when her phone vibrated. Someone had texted her and she grinned upon seeing who it was from.

From: Junhyung

You know what I realized? I never asked about where you study. What's the name of the university that you attend?

From: Jinae

I go to University of Toronto.

From: Junhyung

Do you live in a dorm or do you live at a relative's house?

From: Jinae

I live in a dorm. Are we playing 20 questions now? Why are you asking?

From: Junhyung

No reason. Just felt like asking. :P Oh hold on, I need to do something.

From: Jinae

Okk :)

As Jinae was waiting for Junhyung to reply, someone knocked on her door. She wondered who it could be. Her roommate was at her parent's house and she didn't invite anyone over.

"Please don't be a killer, please don't be a stalker, please don't be a kidnapper..." she muttered as she was walking towards the door. However, when she opened it, she gasped. "J-Junhyung?!"

"Hey there," he greeted. Jinae had to pinch herself to make sure that she wasn't dreaming.

"What are you doing here? How did you know where I live?" Before he could answer, Jinae pulled him inside the room.

"We had the afternoon and evening off, so we decided to walk around. We went to Starbucks and this girl was wearing a hoodie from this school. I remember you wearing the same exact one the first time we met, so I asked the girl if she knew you. Luckily, she said yes and she even knew where you're staying, so I decided to come and visit you. Are you busy?" Jinae just stared at him in awe. She couldn't believe that he would use his time off his busy schedule to go and visit her.

"Um...I was just studying for my exam, but that can wait." Junhyung clapped his hands and took out his phone.

"Great! The guys and I are going out for dinner, and I want you to come. They want to meet you. Unless you don't want to go."

"No, no, I'd love to go to dinner and meet your group mates." Jinae was caught by surprise when Junhyung suddenly hugged her.

"Awesome!" He hold on to her for a good minute. They were both silent until Jinae fake coughed. Junhyung suddenly realized what he just did and quickly pulled back, face turning red. "S-Sorry."

"Noona! Come sit beside me!" Yoseob chirped. Jinae giggled and sat on the empty seat beside him. "Yay!"

"Yah! She's supposed to be sitting beside me!" Junhyung whined.

"You can sit here," Jinae said, patting the seat on her other side. Junhyung grinned and sat beside her.

As the night went on, Jinae got to know every member of B2ST. She laughed at their jokes, listened to their stories and told them about herself. When they finished eating, the rest decided to go back to the hotel because they were tired and they have to wake up early the next morning.

"Don't worry about me. You guys can go ahead and rest. I know how to get back to my dorm on my own," she said, but Junhyung shook his head.

"No way. I'm not letting you go back to your dorm alone at this time of night. I'll go with you."

"But, what if you get lost on your way back? Toronto is a big city, you know?" Jinae said.

"Don't worry. If I get lost, I'll call my manager and he can pick me up," he replied.

"Fine."

"So, are you going to our concert?" Junhyung asked as they entered her dorm room.

"I want to, but it's probably sold out. I didn't know until my sister told me at the airport before I left."

"Well, aren't you lucky that you know me?" he said, taking out a ticket and a backstage pass from his bag.

"Whoa, does your manager know that you're giving these to me?" she asked.

"Yeah, I told him." Jinae smiled and took the ticket and pass from him.

"Thank you, Junhyung. I'll make sure to go. It should be fun." Junhyung smiled back.

"Come early and hang out with us in our dressing room. My manager said that it's okay. Then after the show, come back and eat dinner with us."

"Are you sure? I don't want to bother you guys. You already have a lot to do." Junhyung frowned.

"I'm sure. All of us want you to come and hang out with us before and after the show."

"Okay, I'll go." Jinae suddenly let out a squeal when she was enveloped in a hug.

"Thank you, Jinae!" he said, hugging her tighter. Jinae chuckled and hugged him back. Junhyung inhaled her sweet scent and he felt like holding her forever. That's when he knew that he had to do something. He didn't know how this would work out in the future, but he's willing to try everything. He pulled away slightly, but still kept his arms around her. Jinae looked up and met his eyes. "Can I try something? You could slap me, yell at me or tell me to get out after, but if I don't do this now, I might regret it later."

Jinae looked at him with uncertainty, slightly scared of what Junhyung wanted to do. But she cleared all of her bad thoughts and slowly nodded. The next thing she knew, she felt her knees go weak as Junhyung pressed his lips on hers. It took a moment for her to realize what was going on and when she did, she wrapped her arms around his neck. When they pulled apart, they were both panting.

"I'm sorry. I just really wanted to do that." Junhyung tried to step away from her, but she kept her arms locked around his neck.

"Why are you apologizing? Did I slap you? Yell at you? Told you to get out?" she said. Junhyung smirked and leaned down.

"Does that mean I can kiss you again?" he whispered against .

"Mhm," was all Jinae could say before Junhyung captured her lips in a passionate kiss.

Jinae made her way inside the venue and looked around, wondering how she will find the guys. Luckily, she found a security guard walking around.

"Excuse me? Could you tell me where B2ST's dressing room is?" she asked politely. The security guard asked to look at her backstage pass, then pointed at two big black double doors.

After thanking him, she went inside and walked down the hall, looking for their dressing room. She finally found the door with a sign that said, "B2ST Dressing Room".

She took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

"Who's there?" Kikwang sang. Jinae giggled at how adorable he is.

"Oppa, I'm your biggest fan!" she squealed in a high voice. She put her ear against the door to listen to their reactions.

"Hyung! I think a fan snuck in! What do we do?" she heard Kikwang say to Doojoon.

"Just open the door and say hi to her or something," he replied.

"But, what if there's more than one? Hyung said that we're not allowed to let anyone in the dressing room, except for Jinae-noona." She wanted to laugh out loud so badly.

"Oppa! Can I get a picture with you guys? An autograph? You guys are so handsome! Junhyung-oppa is my bias, I think he's such a good rapper and is so hot!" she said in a high-pitched voice.

"Hyung, you're her bias. You should go out there!" Dongwoon said. Jinae guessed that Junhyung hit him because he suddenly yelped.

She took out her phone and texted Junhyung.

To: Junnie :)

Oppa! Why won't you open the door for me? All I want is a photo!

She put her ear against the door again and heard his phone ring. Everyone was silent until everyone screamed, "Oh my God!"

Junhyung opened the door and glared at Jinae. She smiled cheekily up at him, and then tip-toed to kiss his cheek.

"Sorry, couldn't help it. Forgive me?" Junhyung's face softened and replied by wrapping his arms around her.

"Forgiven." Jinae smiled against his chest.

"But we're still mad at you!" the five remaining members said.

"We need hugs and a kiss on the cheek too!" Hyunseung added. The rest nodded in agreement.

"Aw, don't be mad at me!" Junhyung whined when Jinae let go of him to go to the other members. She hugged each of them one by one, but they still looked at her and pointed to their cheek.

"I would, but I don't think a certain person would be very happy if I did," she said, gesturing towards Junhyung.

"Damn right, so don't even think about it!" Junhyung said, slinging an arm around Jinae.

Jinae was able to find a spot in right in front of the stage. Throughout the concert, Junhyung kept on glancing at her and smiling. She would smile and wink back at him. The rest of the members kept on making faces towards her and waving at her. JInae laughed and rolled her eyes, but waved back. Before the show ended, they went backstage for a brief moment, then came back with a rose and a teddy bear in their hands. They all stood in a line and one by one, they had to sing one part of any of their songs, then give the rose and teddy bear to a lucky fan.

When it was Junhyung's turn, he jumped off the stage and the crowd immediately went wild. Lucky for him, there were barricades keeping the screaming fans from getting to him. He stopped right in front of Jinae and the crowd suddenly became quiet, waiting for him to sing. He smiled and cleared his throat, keeping his eyes on Jinae.

I'm gonna make you love me neol sarang handago
Nan niga isseo haengbokhae eonjena neoppun ingeol

Then he handed her the rose and teddy bear, purposely brushing his fingers against hers. She held back tears when Junhyung gave her a quick hug, then whispered, "I mean it," in her ear. The girls around her squealed and patted her shoulder, screaming that she is one lucky girl. Jinae could only smile and whisper, "I know."

After the concert, the fans started to pile out of the venue. Jinae made her way backstage and while she was walking, she saw Junhyung coming out of the bathroom. She ran and jumped on his back, startling him. He turned his head and sighed in relief when he saw Jinae. She got off Junhyung's back to allow him to turn around, and then jumped on him again. She wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.

"You know, you don't have to make me love you." She leaned in and brushed her lips ever so softly against his. "Because I already do."

Junhyung and Jinae walked back to their dressing room, fingers intertwined. B2ST's manager was sitting on the couch with the rest of the members when they walked in.

"Good, you're here. I know I told you guys that we would be staying for a couple more days, but I'm afraid I have some bad news. We have to get on a plane to Taiwan tomorrow morning. 2pm isn't able to perform in the benefit concert in Taiwan, so President Hong arranged for you guys to perform instead." Everyone groaned and protested. "I know you guys were looking forward to a vacation, but you have no choice. Work is work. You guys will get your days off after."

"But we want to stay here!" Yoseob said.

"Yeah and hyung wants to spend more time with noona!" Dongwoon added.

"I'm really sorry, but I can't do anything about it. President Hong's orders." All of the members huffed and frowned.

"Come on, guys, it's okay. You guys will get the chance to come back again. We'll see each other soon, don't worry about it," Jinae said.

"But noona--"

"No buts. You guys will go and perform at that concert. I'm sad that our time together was cut short, but that's okay. I know that we'll get to spend time together again."

The members reluctantly agreed.

"Text me everyday, okay?" Junhyung said. They were in a private room at the airport, waiting. Their manager was able to convince security to let Jinae stay with them until they board the plane.

"I promise, Junnie." Jinae sat beside Junhyung and rested her head on his shoulder, intertwining their fingers together.

"I'm going to miss you," he whispered, kissing the top of her head.

"I'm going to miss you too, so much. Don't worry; we'll make this work. I'm willing to try."

"Me too."

"I love you Junnie."

"I love you too."

"Attention all passengers of flight 3498, Toronto to Taipei. We will start boarding in 15 minutes. Please have your ticket, passport and/or visa ready. Thank you."
