Starstruck - BTS

Chapter 2

It was the evening of a spring day, the sky was dimming, the air was cool and fresh. It was the time of year that both Dodie and Delilah could enjoy. Dodie was an Autumn/Winter girl - she loved blankets, oversized hoodies, boots and snow; whereas Delilah craved heat, she was most productive in the sun's rays, and strutting in stylish summer trends. Both were too pale for the sun and burned easily but one chose to embrace it, the other to hide from it. It was a good day to take the dogs for a walk. They adopted two rescue dogs: Brandy - a husky cross - he had one blue eye, the other was missing from a cat attack as a puppy, his fur was an unblemished white with splodges of grey and black spots on top; the other an old border terrier named Fox, he was big for his breed, and too energetic for most families.

Previously, the weather had been rainy which wasn't necessarily bad, but on this occasion meant they had to take a different route to avoid dirty hounds. Dog walks were calming and helped the girls get some form of excerise. Some Ariana Grandbae blasted out of their playlist ending the conversation and releasing their incredible voices.

"Nice singing, you should join us on stage sometime."

"huh?" they said in unison as they turned to see the RM and his group of lads they had met just hours ago.

"Hey, uh, we need directions, I hope you don't mind", great Dodie thought Delilah hit one in the face, they heard our private concert and are soon to discover how bad we are at geography, even in our own home town.

"Sure!" Dodie replied. Suddenly, three of the boys ran over in excitement to stroke the dogs. The young looking one stroked the husky, while the grey haired went for the terrier and J-Hope knelt between them both pulling them into a big hug. Lucky their dogs were friendly.

"How's your head?" Delilah turned to J-Hope and asked, a little worried for the result. J-Hope said something in Korean, RM translated the question only for J-Hope to speak more Korean; by tis time Delilah's face was as tight as the opal ring which snugly held her right ring finger, in confusion. RM turned to Delilah "He said it's fine, sorry, these guys are still learning."

She thought to herself really that's all he said? He could have just said a load of bullshite about me and I wouldn't know however, she smiled and said "Good, I'm glad."

"Where is Panda Express?" asked the grey haired, bandana wearing one, never leaving the dogs eyes but speaking to the girls.

"What is Panda Express? Is that an American thing?" Delilah answered.

"Yeah, I don't think we have that, sorry." Dodie finished.

"We need to get back to our hotel, we left to explore while it's quieter outside and clearly got lost" RM explained.

Dodie turned to Delilah "It's straight, then to the left, and right on the roundabout yeah?"

Delilah took a moment to think, straining her face as if it helped her brain work quicker... "No, it's left isn't it? Because it leaves you at the garage and then you go straight."

"I swear that's where that old house is?"

"No, no that's the other side of town!"

"Oh right."

RM interrupted, "So, straight, left, and left again at a roundabout? What's that?"

"It's a circular crossing. Just look for a blue sign with white arrows on in a circle, you'll know it."

"Phone? Urr, mobile... phone?" The young one asked.

"Yeah phone!" J-Hope added, using his left hand to act as a phone which he wiggled beside his ear, while pointing with his right to the phone in Delilah's hand.

Delilah lifted her phone, "You wanna call someone?"

RM looked a little nervous from this invasive request, "If we could use your phone to call our manager that'd be great." With no further conversation Delilah shrugged, unlocked her phone and passed it over. A few minutes passed while they waited for the call to end, during which the lads were still invested in their hounds, giggling into the licks they were receiving.

Delilah glanced behind to see the other three lounging at the back. She scanned them quickly, her eyes resting a millisecond more on the blue haired dream. "I don't think we've properly introduced ourselves. My name is RM, this is V, Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, JHope and Suga." His hands flittered around pointing everyone out. Of course, that was way too many names to remember but Delilah couldn't help repeating the name Suga internally to herself, liking the way it sounded. 

"Uh Hi, I'm Dodie and this is Delilah," Dodie added with a close lipped, welcoming smile producing one dimple in her left cheek.

"Nice to meet you" RM slid into a full smile revealing two dimples of his own, leading the rest to repeat the phrase.

There was yet another moment of silence which ended with Dodie stating, "We better go now, the dogs need their walk" The girls begin to scoot away. The band raised their hands to wave. Suprisingly, J-Hope jumped to them, embracing the two in a giant hug. Delilah accepted it while Dodie felt quite uncomfortable. Once released, they walked away without another word.

BTS POV

Suga opened his mouth to communicate but quickly snapped it shut, joining the crowd and waving. He watched her walk away and a slight sadness pulled at him, he had never experienced an immediate attraction like this before and was beginning to learn that he has no idea how to deal with it.

RM had called their manager who had arranged for a taxi to retrieve them. They had nothing to do now but wait.

In Korean

Jin yawned and sat on the ground, "UK is tiring." V and Jimin joined him either side. V rested his head on Jin's shoulder and closed his eyes.

J-Hope, the forever energetic one, bounced around, "The night is still young and if miracles do happen we may see those girls a third time! And you know what they say, third time..." He paused awaiting the audience's answer, Suga groaned, and J-Hope pronounced "Lucky!" RM and Jungkook smiled rejoicing in their friends glee.

Jimin responded, "Too bad you can't have them." he was wearing a strong smirk.

J-Hope quickly retaliated, "Well at least they won't think I'm gay, pretty boy!" Jimin's face quickly dropped in annoyance. V stepped in to diffuse the situation, "The fans adore me most!"

Jungkook countered "But these ones don't even know about BTS"

"I'm world wide handsome, leave this to me," Jin chimed, and that's when RM stepped in,

"Alright guys, let's settle this, who's got the best pick-up line?" RM questioned.

"Do you know BTS?" Suga questioned with all seriousness. RM slapped his hand to his face while the others laughed. RM couldn't help but feel a loss for he knew that there is no point enquiring Dodie or Delilah; their lives are their jobs, they worked way too hard to let these 5 years of talent go to waste. It's a shame but in the end he was their leader and it's his duty to keep his band on track. Still, he couldn't help but wonder the possibility. Meanwhile, Suga contemplated his own dilemma.

A middle aged man with a friendly face pulled up, checked he was at the right place, and invited the group to get in. As they climbed in the vehicle Jin asked "Who wants to hear a joke?" Jimin pushed him in and they left.
