We were rushing towards the entrance of the concert hall. There were a lot of fans scattered and some were buying light sticks and other fan goodies. Then I reached the front. The woman there said, “Good Evening Ma’am. Your ticket please,” with a smile. I smiled back and said, “Sure. Wait a sec,” and opened my bag to find the precious ticket.

 

It shocked the hell outta me when I cannot see my ticket.

 

“Oh heck no, not now, please, ” I just blurted.

 

“Is there a problem, Ma’am?” the ticket lady asked.

 

“It seems that I cannot find my precious ticket.” I kept on searching my bag. I found no ticket there.

 

“Uhm, pardon me Ma’am, but there are a lot of people behind you.”

 

“Oh sorry. I’ll just find it here.” I went to a corner and kept on looking for it.

 

“Where are you when I need you? Ugh.” Then I realized that I left it at my bed. Fuuu.

 

I looked at my watch. 5pm. There’s still one more hour to go home. I really need that. I don’t wanna miss this once in-a-lifetime event. I told my friends to go in and just wait for me at the venue, since we are seatmates.

 

And so I grab a cab and went straight home. My mom saw me and told me what was wrong and did I left something, I said what happened.

 

I saw the ticket near my bed and immediately grabbed it. I bid goodbye to my mom and left.

 

I thought that we would just come back fast, but unfortunately, we were welcomed by a traffic because of an accident. OH GREAT. JUST GREAT.

 

I looked at the time. 5:45. A quarter to go. I think I couldn’t make it. I received a text message from one of my friends saying, “It’s about to start, where are you?” I replied to her what was happening and she just said that they’ll wait for me. Ugh. They would, but not the concert organizers. I will surely miss the first part of the show. YAY. Ugh.

 

 

5 minutes to go. We are near the site, but we’re still stuck on traffic. I thinking if I would just run or if I’ll wait ‘till we reach the site.

 

3 minutes. O brother. No choice. I’ll just run.

 

I paid then run like I never once run in my life. I was like lightning. Or what I think I was like. When I entered the hall, it was already on the finale. WHUUUUT?!  I run for like, a kilometre and then it was already on the half of the show?

 

I went to search for my seat. The crowd are cheering endlessly. They were dancing through every song. While I, staring blankly at the stage, looking all worn-out, but just excitement and also disappointment with myself. I reached my seat and found my friends spazzing with each other. They saw me and one of them said, “It’s almost over. Where were you?”

 

“I LEFT MY TICKET, WENT BACK HOME, GOT STUCK IN A TRAFFIC JAM, RAN A KILOMETER AND WENT BACK HERE. ASDFGHJKL.”

 

“So you mean you ran for almost an hour?”

 

“An hour? It was just 3 minutes when I got down form that cab.” Then I looked at my watch. I HATE MY LIFE. 50 minutes. So maybe I ran for like, 45 minutes?! I wasted my precious time with running? I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS.

 

“I hate my life.”
 

 

“Hey. Don’t be bothered. We still have backstage passes,” my friend said, holding up the IDs hanged on their necks.

 

“Oh yeah! I almost forgot this!” I held my backstage pass and my mood immediately lightened up.

 

“Kamsahamnida!” I heard my favourite band said and then left the stage. The crowd cheered, shouting a lot of stuff.

 

I heard some saying ”Saranghae!”, “Minari Oppa!”, “Gomawo! Saranghaeyo FT Island!” Aww. Too bad I haven’t watched the whole performance. It’s heartbreaking.  3 But I felt happy that I bought these backstage passes. :)

 

The staff asked who are those who have backstage passes and told us to fall in line. There are only 6 of us. Me and my 2 friends and the others are those representatives from the official fan clubs. All of us were spazzing and were so excited to see the boys in person. OMO.

 

We entered a room and saw the five of them wiping there sweats.

 

“Oh, annyeong,” JongHun said then bowed and smiled at us. OhMyFanGirlHeart.

 

We also bowed and smiled to them. We were all not saying anything, maybe trying to hide our squeals. I need to unleash these feelings. I wanna shout and hug them! But I can’t. I don’t want to think that we’re insane fans and be embarrassed in front of them.

 

“Did you finished eating?” HongKi asked. Awww.

 

We shook our heads in chorus.

 

“Ah. Shall we eat then?”

 

We looked at each other and looked in the eyes as if saying, “this is a once in-a-lifetime opportunity, grab it!” Then we nodded at HongKi. The saying, birds of the same feather, spazz together really is true. :))

 

There were a lot of gimbap, ddeokbboki, kimchi and other Korean food. One of the unnies that we’re with gave the food as our gift to them. We want them to taste the awesome food here. :)

 

“What is this?” Minari asked.

 

“It’s chicken adobo. One of the most delicious food here.”

 

“CHICKEN?!” We both exclaimed. Oops. I think I got excited of hearing my favourite food. xD

 

“You like chicken too?” MinHwan asked. I felt my cheeks getting hot. O_o

 

“Uh, yes. It’s also my favourite,” I smiled.

 

“Hyung! See! She also loves chicken!” Minari pulled HongKi’s sleeved like a liitle kid. Aww. So cute. <3

 

“So as a chicken lover, would you recommend this chicken recipe for us?”

 

“Yeah. That is my favourite chicken recipe. You should try it,” I looked at unnie who was smiling at me. Her looks were telling me that I’m doing a great job.

 

“So, let’s eat? I’m hungry,” SeungHyun said.

 

“Uh, wait!” Minari shouted. “You,” he pointed towards my way. “You!” he shouted again and I can feel that he was pointing at me but I dodn’t respond because he might be calling for the person behind me.

 

I stared at him. “You, chicken lover dongsaeng,” he pointed again. AT ME and stared right to my EYES. HEAVEN AND EARTH~

 

I was pushed by one of my companions. I was flabbergasted. I found myself rushing towards him. Aaaaaaaaaah! I’m gonna sit beside my bias while eating dinner. OhMyGosh. Asdfghjkl.

 

We started eating. He asked me how to eat adobo.

 

“It’s just like eating samgyetang,” I laughed.

 

“AAAAHH,” then he started eating. After he tasted it, he looked at me.

 

“Isn’t it good?”

 

“NO--- IT”S AMAJJJJJING! It’s so deliciouuuus!” then he started eating like there was no tomorrow. I just laughed at this side of him and ate also.

 

After eating, I looked at the time. 6:18pm. WOAH. Time really does fly fast when you’re having fun. But who cares, I’m with MinHwan! My ULTIMATE BIAS! Asdfghjkl.

 

“Hey, we have to go. Thank you for the time and for communicating with the boys. I had a fun time.” One of the unnies told us.

“Oppa., we’re going. Thank you~! I hope you liked what we brought. We had a lot of fun. KAMSAHAMNIDA~! SARANGHAE~!” they said and the boys stood up and hugged them each. I looked at their eyes as if saying, “OHMYGOOOOOOOSH!” Then the 3 unnies left. The 3 of us are the ones who are staying.

 

“So, can you go home late?” JaeJin asked.

 

I nodded. My friends didn’t. I looked at them with a questioning face.

They mouthed, “Mom.” Ohyeah. They have both have strict mothers.

 

“Ohh. So, Ms. Chicken will stay?” MinHwan said. I nodded again. He called me Ms. Chicken! Asdfghjkl.

 

“Aren’t your parents strict?” Hoonie asked.

 

“Ani. They let me fangirl around ‘cause they’re also fans.”

 

“Waaa~!” they said.

 

Then we continued to chitchat. After an hour, my friends said that they’re going home. They bid goodbye and the members hugged each of them. Awwwww. Will I get a hug if I’ll go home?

 

“So, it’s just you and us,” HongKi said. I got goose bumps with what he said. What does he meant by that? O_o No, it isn’t that thing, they’re not that low. HAHA

 

“So, tell us more about yourself.” Minari said.

 

“I’m Sapphire Andrei Sy, 15. I love chicken, I love pink, I know how to play the drums. I love K-Pop, specially you, FT Island and I love MinHwan Oppa,” I blushed. X”D

 

“OOOOOOH! So that’s why!” JaeJin exclaimed.

 

I looked at Minari. He’s also blushing. KYAAAAA~!

 

“I got another one. AAAAH. Maknaes are the most likable ones,” he proudly said.

 

“Yah! Respect your hyungs!” JaeJin exclaimed.

“I’m stating the obvious hyung,” he sarcastically answered.

 

“I’m sorry Sapphire for the hyungs behaviour. They’re always like that. Tsk. Tsk,” he threw his arms at my shoulder. I smiled. SO WIDE.

 

“Maknae, you’re not allowed to make a move. RESPECT!” HongKi shouted.

 

“This is now called making a move?” he pointed at his arms, that are now on my shoulders.

 

“Obviously.”

 

“Not when the girl wants it.” He looked at me. “Do you mind if I put my arm on your shoulders?” he smiled widely. His eyes were twinkling.

 

I quickly nodded. He put his tongue out to his hyungs who are now glaring at him. I realized that I’ve fallen to one of his aegyo charms.

 

Time flew fast, it was time to go home. But before I leave the room, everyone hugged me.

 

“Sapphire-ssi, GOMAWO!” they said in unison. Oh so cute!

 

“Thank you also, I SOOOO HAD A GREAT TIME. I hope you’ll come back,” I smiled widely. Then I remembered something.

 

“Can we all have a picture then a selca?” I asked.

 

“Sure,” they said again in unison.

 

We took photos together. I took a selca with each of the members. OMONA~!

 

Then I waved goodbye.

 

I left the room and went outside. Then I heard some familiar voice calling my name.

 

“Sapphire!”

 

I turn around and saw my ULTIMATE BIAS running towards my direction.

 

“Thank you for today, I really had a great time,” he said.

 

“Me too. THANK YOU~”

Before I could even blink, he threw his arms around me. OHMYGOSH HE HUGGED ME!

 

“Gomawo~” then kissed me on the cheek.

 

OhYeah. I will never forget this day. NEVER EVER.We were rushing towards the entrance of the concert hall. There were a lot of fans scattered and some were buying light sticks and other fan goodies. Then I reached the front. The woman there said, “Good Evening Ma’am. Your ticket please,” with a smile. I smiled back and said, “Sure. Wait a sec,” and opened my bag to find the precious ticket.
