Love Is Not Over

Chapter Forty Four: Catching Up

February.

It's been a while.

Let's catch up. I'll start back at the beginning in case you missed anything.

It's been seven months since I met Bangtan.

July 5th I stepped off of the plane in Hawaii and met the seven boys.

I got to know them all well, and they got to know me.

We watched movies together. I got accustomed to the house. We goofed around together in the morning. We went swimming together. We recorded a cover, and I got an Instagram.

My best friend got her idol's number.

I got coffee spilled on me, got exposed by Jungkook, and then we did a photo shoot.

Jimin and I spent an afternoon wandering around a board walk, getting used to each other's company, cracking jokes and making puns, not a care in the world.

Jimin and I stayed up all night so I could get revenge on Jungkook, and then we pranked the rest of the boys.

He showed me the place he goes to escape from everything, and we kissed for the first time on top of the roof in the sunrise.

The boys got pranked. Poor Suga was forced to pee on Saran Wrap, causing it to spray back on him, Seokjin's face was vandalized for our amusement, Namjoon woke up to a room covered in sticky notes, Taehyung was awakened in a backward room and ran into a wall, Jungkook woke up duct taped to a wall, and Hoseok found himself floating in the pool.

Jimin and I were forced to clean up the aftermath. And then we fought.

Jungkook comforted me. Hoseok comforted Jimin.

Jin forced us to make up after a week.

Then everything was great.

I went shopping with Suga.

We performed my first concert. Compared to what I do now, that concert was tiny.

We stayed out past midnight at a carnival. We had ice cream, and I rode the Ferris wheel with V.

Jimin, Jungkook, and Yoongi got drunk. And it was at the bar that they and Hobi met Autumn.

Jungkook kissed me.

I didn't sleep that night.

Jungkook didn't remember in the morning. But when he did, he was sick with himself.

We had hangover pancakes.

Autumn came over.

I thought she and Jimin were going to have a thing. But it turns out it was Hobi who was interested in her.

Hobi wanted me to talk with Jimin.

Jimin asked me on a date.

I agreed.

I made up with Jungkook.

We laughed. We cried. We bonded.

In August, we went on tour to
Korea.

I went shopping with Tae and Hobi, and although it was a frightening experience with Tae driving, it was great spending time with them and getting a new, Suga-Approved-Wardrobe ™.

I went on my first date with Jimin. He showed me the city, and took my breath away with the view from Seoul Tower. It was amazing.

I saw more of Jimin than I thought I would that night...

I shared the gossip of my date with my best friend and Tae, and they teased me.

Jungkook took me for a Korean lesson before the concert, and when Namjoon arrived and tripped on Kookie's skateboard, he ended up with his face in my (minimal) cleavage. Once again, much closer than I though we would be getting.

We did our first big concert run through/mic check.

Then we had an extremely painful interview with a valley girl.

Jimin and I went out to an arcade and, when we got back to the hotel, watched Netflix until he fell asleep.

The next morning I had to make an emergency trip to a store for pads, and I took Tae with me.

When we got back to the hotel, we discovered Suga had been admitted into the hospital.

We spend roughly thirteen hours in the waiting room hoping that Yoongi would be well.

When he woke up and we visited him, as we all hugged each other and cried, it was clear to me; this was a family, and I was a part of it.

We performed at concerts in Seoul.

Then we went to Busan.

I met Jimin's parents, and we had an interesting encounter with his brother in his old room.

We played our first concert in Busan.

And then we played many others.

By the end of September I had visited the town where each member grew up.

I had also been to most countries in Asia.

It was also the month that I noticed I had been added to more recent BTS fanfics.

I don't know why anyone would want to read about me, but I was honored.

Namjoon was right, that one day in July. The fans are creative.

In October, we started our tour through Europe.

We released a Halloween practice video as characters from Star Wars.

I got to see many landmarks I never thought I would get to see, all of them with Jimin and the boys at my side.

I performed in Berlin, visited Denmark, and booked multiple shows in Ireland, Great Britain, France, and Italy.

When we celebrated my birthday in November, it was revealed once and for all that I'm actually a few months younger than Jungkook.

I never let him know my age before. Jess exposed me.

We did a few Bts Run episodes. Ask me about them some day. Not today, though, they're not that relevant.

In December we started our American part of our tour with a BANG(tansonyeondan) in Cali.

We traveled slowly, taking more time in between shows. Things were scheduled to be easier this time of year.

For Christmas, we went back to the house in Hawaii. We spent a week there, and then performed for New Years back in Seoul.

There were no more Jihyun like incidents with Jimin and I.

Throughout January we finished touring the U.S. and Canada.

Nearly.

Now it's February fifth.

It's been exactly seven month since I met bangtan.

And it's the day of our last show.
