“Come on it’ll be fun!” Youngjae said excitedly when Daehyun protested at going clubbing. “I’d really rather not.” He repeated for the fourth time but the younger grabbed his hand and dragged him out. “Even Himchan thinks it’ll be fun, we’re all going!” Youngjae said gleefully and Daehyun knew at this point this was no point in fighting it. If Himchan was made to wait on him there would be very severe consequences. He groaned, “Alright fine, I’m coming!” Daehyun stated. Currently they were touring in America and everyone wanted to explore and this was fine with him, but couldn’t they go somewhere quiet?

The club was lit by many different colored lights. The place was packed full of people, most were dancing to the deafening music.  Others were at the bar drinking and talking to one another. It was too much for Daehyun already; he would rather have got out somewhere quiet and gotten a bite to eat. The thought of food was made him hungry. “Let’s go dance!” He heard Youngjae shout in his ear. Junhong was already walking off an excited look on his face.  Yongguk, Himchan and Jongup were following their Maknae.  With a sigh he followed his friends out to the dance area and started dancing.

After a few songs Daehyun had had enough and tried to see if he could find any of the others, He didn’t see Yongguk or Himchan the pair was lost in the crowd somewhere. Junhong was dancing happily with Jongup nearby. As for Youngjae, he wasn’t sure were his best friend had gotten too. Without another thought he headed for the bar and got himself a root beer and sat there quietly sipping it. Around 20 minutes later a girl came up to the bar beside him. “Can I get a sprite?” She asked the bartender before sitting down and waiting for her drink. 

The girl had long brown hair and some of it was pulled back in a ponytail while the rest hung freely, there was also a slight curl to her hair. “Hello.” He said to be polite but when the girl looked at him, he saw her brown eyes, so full of life. In her eyes he saw so much it took his breath away. This girl was beautiful. “Hello.” She replied.  “I’m Sarah.” She added. “Daehyun” He said, trying to keep his tone normal. “So are you having a good time?” He asked her just as the bartender handed Sarah her drink.  “Yeah, I guess so.” Sarah replied glancing at him. “You guess?” He said. “Well you see my friend dragged me here.” Sarah said. “I didn’t really want to come.” She added and he noticed there was sadness in her eyes.

“I’m sorry to hear that, my friends dragged me out as well.” Daehyun told her. “So what would you rather be doing?” he asked, hoping she wouldn’t mind the question. “I was hoping to finish my book today and I had some cheesecake to eat while I read.” Sarah’s eyes seem to sparkle as she spoke.  Before he could say anything a new song blasted though the speakers, he was surprised it was one of their songs, Dancing in the Rain. “I love this song.” She stated and he found he was becoming more nervous. It didn’t escape his notice that she didn’t say B.A.P or ask if he was that Daehyun.

As the girl drank her sprite he watched her silently trying to think of something to say when she piped up and asked him what he enjoyed doing.  So he told her and they slipped into an easy conversation. Not once did she bring up B.A.P or anything about him being an idol. He couldn’t be sure if she just didn’t know or didn’t want to bring it up either way it was a relief.  When she was in the middle of trying to tell him something another girl came over and grabbed her arm and pulled her away.

Sarah’s POV

As she was pulled away Sarah glanced back at Daehyun but she didn’t stop her friend. “You’re never going to believe who’s here!?” She shouted. Sarah just looked at her confused. “B.A.P! B.A.P is here in the club!” The girl said and squealed in excitement.  “Who’s B.A.P?” She asked as she tried to figure out who Emily was talking about.  “Is it that Korean group you’re so crazy about?” Sarah added as an afterthought. “Yes!” then she saw Emily looking over her shoulder. “Oh my GOD! Do you have any idea who you were just speaking to!?” Emily was starting to jump up and down.  Before Sarah could even said a word her friend went on. “That’s Daehyun of B.A.P!!!”

“What?” Sarah was confused, so the guy she was talking to was a member of B.A.P. She didn’t bother to worry about why he had said anything and the fact that he was famous didn’t change her thoughts about him.  “Emily if you don’t mind I’ll like to go sit back down, I’m sure you’d like to go watch the guys dance.” She was barely finished when Emily took off.  So she walked back over to Daehyun and sat down.

End Sarah’s POV

Daehyun watched as the girl sat back down looking like there was a lot on her mind, like maybe something was bothering her and this bothered him,  he wanted her to be happy to smile. “Is everything alright?” He asked as he spoke she looked at him. “Yeah everything’s fine, that was just my friend. She’s really excited about some famous boy band being here.”  “Oh I see.” He responded well if she hadn’t known before she probably knew now. “Are you from that group, um…what’s it..?”  But before she could finish Daehyun answered her. “B.A.P, yes.” He looked at her for a few moments before adding. “Is that alright?” He couldn’t help but ask nervously.  For a few moments her brown eyes studied him.  “It’s fine, it doesn’t matter to me that’s you’re an idol.” She replied seeming to have chosen her words carefully.

“Um..Sarah I was wondering I know you didn’t want to come here.” Daehyun paused for a moment to nervous to ask her. “Would you like to leave with me and get something to eat?” He finally asked. When she didn’t respond right away he was afraid he had upset her. “Sure, I’d like that.” She replied with a smile. “I just need to tell Emily I’m leaving.” She said. “Alright, I have to let my friends know as well so I’ll meet you outside.”  Once she walked off he headed off to find any one of his friends and found Himchan, it was clear he was trying to hide. “Hey Himchan, I’m heading out I’ll meet you guys back at the hotel. “ He said and noted the look of concern as Himchan responded. “I’m not sure that’s a good idea.”  “I’ll be fine.” Without another word he headed out to find Sarah waiting for him.  “Ready?” He asked and she nodded. “Why don’t you pick the place. “ He suggested.  “Alright, I know a great place; I hope you’ll like it.”

Once they arrived at The Waffle House and were seated Daehyun ordered some coke with cherry syrup while Sarah got the same but with Vanilla syrup. As he looked over the menu he couldn’t fully understand what he was reading, glancing over at Sarah who had already laid hers down. “So what’s good here?” He asked and in answer she reached over and pointed at one of the meals. “The All Star Special.” She said. Soon the waitress came over with their drinks. “Are you ready to order?” She asked politely and Daehyun couldn’t help but glance over at Sara. “I’ll have the All Star Special with bacon.” She stated.  “What about you sir?”  “I’ll have the same.” Daehyun responded. Once she was gone he turned to Sarah. “So do you eat here often?” He asked. “No not really.” She responded, her eyes on him. “I picked here because a lot of the places I really like are closed.”  There was something in her eyes, maybe disappointment? He wasn’t sure.

“So Sarah what do you like to do?” He asked her. “I’m into photography, I want to travel the world and take pictures.” She explained, and he watched as her eyes shined. He would almost bet that in her mind she was picturing herself somewhere else taking the perfect picture.  He listened as she went on and talked about the places she wanted to go and about how she was studying other languages so that she could speak to the people when she went. Somewhere in the middle of what she was saying their food arrived but that didn’t stop her, she managed eating and talking to him at the same time. He didn’t want to stop her either; he found what she had to say fascinating.  

Eventually their food was gone, Sarah had finished speaking and it was time for them to pay. Sarah had pulled out her wallet. “No, I’ll pay.” Daehyun offered pulling out his wallet, now if only he could just understand how American money worked.  He looked at the receipt and got the bills needs but getting the change was a different story.  “You can just give them a dollar and they’ll give you change back.” Sarah said, obviously she had picked up on the fact he was having a hard time. “Thanks.” He said gratefully adding a dollar. Once he got his change back he looked over at Sarah sad that the night had to end already.  “If you’re interested I know of a great place for desert.” Sarah said. Daehyun smiled, “Sounds good to me.” He said and they stood up and left.

Sarah led him to a place called Dairy Queen.  Inside he looked over the menu but then looked to Sarah since he couldn’t read all of it. After she helped him with some of the items on the menu and decided what he wanted and told the man behind the counter that he wanted the Oreo CheeseQuake Blizzard Treat while Sarah got Oreo Brownie EarthQuake. Once again he paid and the pair sat down and ate their treats. This time Daehyun told Sarah about his life and what it was like to be a part of B.A.P.  He stopped talking for a moment. “Sarah would you like to try this?” He asked pushing the blizzard treat towards her.  “Sure.” She said and pushed hers toward him go ahead and try mine if you want.” She said. “Thank you.” He said with a smile. For a moment he watched as she picked up his spoon and tried the Blizzard. He picked up the spoon and brownie desert. It wasn’t bad, maybe if he ever came back here he would get this. “That’s good.” They both said at the same time and they smiled.

They had stayed awhile after they finished just talking but now they were outside and Daehyun was walking her home.  There was so much on his mind he thought he might go crazy and he was still a bit nervous.  He couldn’t help but wonder what she was thinking, did she like him? “If you’re wondering why I didn’t tell you who I was…” He stopped and glanced at her. “I wasn’t but I think I can understand. So don’t worry about it.” She responded and smiled.  As he returned the smile he reaches out and gently holds her hand.  He saw her smile and it warmed his heart.

They spent the next hour or so walking through a park before heading to her place. Daehyun didn’t want to let go of her hand and leave her. The thought was breaking his heart. “I’ll like to be able to speak to you again, can I give you my number?” he asked her and as she smiled she pulled her phone out of her pocket. “Sure, I’ll give you mine as well.” She said. After swapping phone numbers and email addresses he leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers.
