"Can you please stop tapping your fingers and try to relax?" Taeyang asked. "When you look like that, you make me worry."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7Rs6RI2fPl
"Sorry," I said as I lifted my fingers away from the dashboard of the car and leaned back in my seat, trying to relax.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAaLwEs43HXi
"What's gotten into you?" Taeyang managed to look at me even when he had to focus on the road.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANANwDyNRInBl
"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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANA8TpkfNFEWD
"No, no, I don't," I said as I waved her hand away and looked out the car window at God knows what.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAvM4QXs7nto
"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?"
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAerufqETFkP
"Are you worried that Zoey and G-Dragon will get into some kind of trouble?" Christine also asked.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAobvMKzxNh2
"No, I'm not thinking about that," I said as I looked up at the rearview mirror to look at Christine.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKqA6QtWFni
"Then what's wrong with you? Taeyang's right. You look nervous yet excited."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAv7alpXe3vG
"I don't know to be honest," I said as I scratched my head. "Do I look like a lunatic?"
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAaEbUi36nxG
"If that how you're going to put it, then yes." Christine started to snicker.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAkVPhvwWwMn
"No, you don't," said Taeyang as he threw a look at Christine.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAscv9qPf4WE
"I don't know, I feel really anxious," I said.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAOy2IAaRovA
"Are you sure you aren't worried about Zoey and G-Dragon?" Christine asked.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqRg4Nl4QVv
"Why do you keep insisting on that?" I had my eyebrow raised, staring at the rearview mirror.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAFa83vf3pun
"Well, because you didn't want them to go out shopping, remember?"
1062Please respect copyright.PENANADdGpubfQl5
"Ya, I know. But that's the least of my worries. They can do whatever they want."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUxh0aX9eBG
"Okay," said Christine as she leaned back in her seat. "I sure hope so."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlE02V3OfV1
"I know so. I don't know why I feel like this. Like something's going to happen."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUurOqyvhwl
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZN9BtTxkvO
"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?"
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAtKhOFI7sWy
"Oh, ya, I totally forgot," I said as I took my phone out of my pocket. "Thanks for reminding me, Christine."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAiiqKmkKD5e
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAvchiw73LmN
"Just texted him, he isn't picking up," I said.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ9AfBxoyb
"As long as he doesn't get mad," said Taeyang.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAcic2B4Fg9O
"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."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAL2k2bZhTnw
"That's just how it is, especially with you guys," said Taeyang.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdR5khpZnqQ
"Very true."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAeGq51QUukn
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANARFogdupk39
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7BfvM7iXjS
"I can't wait to make kimchi," said Christine. "I have to admit, trying out something new is exciting."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4H57OPyZqz
"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."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmWNJAowMg8
"Really, Sam? What for?"
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAaPjCWtS6SF
"To eat of course."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUXxUbwqO4r
"Once you start to eat them, you never stop."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAii7kjb8cXQ
"True. But at least that only lasts for a day."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlm4StaNV4B
"Typical." Christine rolled her eyes at me and her eyes landed to the other aisle further away from us where the fruits were.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANA73CUb6otU7
"There they are," she said. "You can go get them and I'll wait here."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuRnEIgtGGZ
"Sure thing."
1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1I5F4vZRct
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAExnOLTdWaO
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6aSutR7gxm
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdLNVBk6DpX
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANACn1ahaTckS
"Oh, goodness," I muttered as I turned to look at the orange.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAwkDmfhFCh6
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.....
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzLmICXjN0i
"Ouch!"
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAOvPpuT4tfi
"Aish!"
1062Please respect copyright.PENANA305cagUx8T
We'd bumped heads. And it hurt a lot. We both straightened up holding our heads.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAxQslKAiYZ9
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAT1SZbLrxzM
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?
1062Please respect copyright.PENANANVMOghvWYl
"Sam!"
1062Please respect copyright.PENANABkV1Z6LdDr
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAeBBULJQkRd
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANA0JbE77ww6z
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0mh0JAjqi
"Mianhae (미안해) (Sorry)," I apologised, my eyes never leaving his.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQqhw8lT8QW
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?
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuuTZWMRBEl
"Sam? Black Kitty? Right?" he asked.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQNvlyPbaBr
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmtabXUgyqu
"Yes," I said, trying to figure out what else to say next. "That's me. And...who might you be?"
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAYuGWjkmNjG
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAjxbzl7Je8A
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAavBzw287Yl
"J....Jimin?" I looked behind him. "B...BTS?" Now I was the one who was asking.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANA61d6AoxnBu
"Aigoo! Is that BK? Like 'The Black Kitty?'" RM asked with a surprised look on his face.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAvLVUZVVOAa
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAAr7FoOoqKu
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAW3iyv0JGWr
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.
1062Please respect copyright.PENANAYtMkzMBVVj
"OMG! It's BTS!" Christine exclaimed.
