Chapter 9: Step by step

"I'm here." Desiree thinks looking at the city in front of her.

It had been a journey from hell. After more than 20 hours of travel, Desiree finally arrives at Bed & Breckfast in Hannam-Dong. A place near where the BTS dorm is located. She didn't say anything that she's already in Seoul, but the internet is great, and after a few searches, she found out where the men live.

She was traumatized when she read articles about where they lived (she even saw photos of what could be their home).

"A life continuously in the spotlight. Another point against having them as my soul mates. "

As soon as she checks in and enters the room, she immediately notices, how the absurd headache she has had in the last few weeks, has subsided substantially. Now, it's just a dull ache.

Desiree doesn't know whether or not to write to tell Yoongi where she is at the moment. Or if maybe she should write to someone else. She doesn't want them to think she has a favorite. Also because she doesn't have one and doesn't want any of them at the moment.
Before she can think better of who to call, her stomach groans loudly and she makes a decision for her.

She gets ready to go out and go to a Combini and just eat some precooked ramen. While she eats, she decides to call.

"Hi? Park Jimin? "
"Desiree!"
"Oh yes it's me, hello ... how are you?"
"I'm fine. Thank you. I was waiting. I mean ... We were all waiting for news from you. How are you? Yoongi said us that you were unwell. Are you feeling better?"
"I'm in Seoul, so now I fell better."
After saying where she is at that moment, she hears a sigh and noises of someone running, but no response.
"Hello? Can anyone hear me ...? "
"YES! Don't hang up. I hear you!" Jimin replies with shortness of breath.
"Oh good..."
"Waits. Where in Seoul exactly? And can we all talk to you? The other guys would like to hear your voice too. "
"I guess so ..." and before she can tell where she is, she is interrupted by many voices speaking one over the other.

"Shut up you will scare her!" is the only thing Desiree can understand, sensing that it is Jimin who said it, being the one closest to the phone.

"God it looks like they're talking about a stray kitten. Seriously, what memorable first impression did I make? "

"I'm in Hannam-Dong."
As soon as they hear the place where it is, all the boys freeze and look at each other. Each realizing that she is very close to them.
"When are you arrived?" Seokjin asks quietly.
"A few hours ago. I didn't call right away because I had to get organized for the night. Did you know that the internet says where you live? Crazy, right? "
"Are you here ... for us?" Jungkook asks.
"I do. When you have time, perhaps, we can meet. So ... you know, right? "
"Of course. I guess the journey has tired you. Maybe we can see each other tomorrow night. " Namjoon says, hoping he didn't scare her.
"If that's okay with you ... tonight would be better."

Desiree isn't impatient to see them, but she's afraid that if she doesn't meet them right away, she decides to run away again. And she knows she can no longer afford it.

"That is fine. We organize ourselves to have a private room to eat and let you come and pick you up. "
"I don't need it. You can send me the position and I will come by Taxi. So see you tonight. "

And after embarrassed and embarrassing greetings, they all get ready for that evening's meeting. The excited and impatient men, and the depressed and phlegmatic woman.

As soon as the call ends: the boys look at each other, some smiling enormously and others trying to hide their happiness.

"So, where are we taking her?" Jimin asks smiling softly, looking at the phone.
"Maybe we can take her to Jin's restaurant."
"We can't ask your brother to close the place for one night. We need to be able to talk to her without fear of the paparazzi. "
"How about the Hotel Mayfield restaurant? They have private rooms and the food is good. " Says Taehyung, thinking back to when he went with some of his friends.
