Summary: You weren’t big on social media. Hell, you didn’t even care much for trends. So when you get a notification one day on instagram from a person claiming to be a global sensation, you can’t believe it. Months later, you still can’t believe your penpals with BTS’s good boy - Kim Taehyung himself.
Warnings: Anxiety.
Notes: The events that are in this story can definitely happen in real life, BUT this is just a fanfiction and I don’t think these events will actually happen/are occurring. This chapter is a little short, but I felt this conversation was needed between Ky and reader. I promise it will be emotional and full of FLUFF in the next one XD

To say you were nervous would be an understatement.
It's like you woke up this morning as a ball of anxiety. Only getting out of bed when you had to pee, and Ky texted you she would be over in an hour. But now, you're not in bed. Your not waiting for Ky to come over or getting ready for the day ahead of you.
You're in Ky's passenger seat of her car. Driving to a place in Seoul, like you have a million times before, but you aren't going to a simple home. You're going thee place. Thee home.
The area that everyone wants to gain access to and one day have enough money to afford. A gated complex that holds one of the most famous bands in all of Korea.
You've driven by the place before and had an ear full of Ky screaming about how she would love to be able to visit. You thought it was a nice-looking area. High rises, luxuries buildings, and each complex had it’s own acre of land. Not sure why they call them dorms when they have more land than you do with your one-story house, but still, the places are fancy. Fancier than you could ever afford in your wildest of dreams with your Dog Cafe salary.
But it's not the homes that make you nervous. It's not the homes that are making you shuffle in your seat every five minutes, feeling uncomfortable in your own skin. Making your leg bounce, and each time you turn a corner, your heart leaps in your throat because you think you arrived at your designation.
No, it's not the homes. It's the people who own the home you're going to. One out of the seven of them - to be exact.
You're about to meet Kim Taehyung in real life... and you're scared shitless about it.
You pass a neighboring gated community, and your breath catches. But as Ky continues to drive, passing the neighborhood because it's not your destination, and slump in your seat. Able to breathe correctly for a few extra minutes.
Ky offered to drive even if she couldn’t meet or come into the dorms. She knew you wouldn't have been able to drive yourself, and she has continued to glance at you throughout the whole ride. Seeing you fidget and having your anxiety spike even higher per second.
Ky puts her hand on your bouncing leg, stopping it, and you look away from the window to look a her. She smiles at you, and it's welcoming, but it only slightly calms your nerves.
"Relax. You've both been talking for months, so Tae's not exactly a stranger."
"Yeah, I know that, but this isn't exactly a normal meet-up either. I'm meeting a fucking idol, for god's sake! I didn't even take the V.I.P. tickets you offered me to the Lady Gaga concert because I was too nervous about meeting her! Lady Gaga, one of America's sweetest celebrities, and I was nervous about meeting her. Now, I'm going to a celebrities house!"
You slide your back further down the seat. Sinking further into the depth of your anxiety. You pinch your thumb, trying to remind yourself. your alive, so you don't end up having an anxiety attack when you're only a mile away from the destination.
Ky sighs then after an encouraging squeeze takes her hand off of your thigh to put it back on the steering wheel.
"Okay, then. Let's get your mind off the subject. I want to talk to Mara."
You look over too Ky again, and she looks determined as fuck in that moment. This isn't precisely a 'let's just casually change the subject' type of thing. Ky's actually been meaning to talk to you about this for a while.
"Ky, you don't have to. You and Mara have been friends since before I even came to this country. I don't want to be the person that divides you both."
Ky rolls her eyes at you.
"Trust me, sweetheart. You're not. She's been a bitch lately, but there's definitely something going on with her that we don't know about, and I want to find out just what that something is."
"But what if Mara doesn't want to talk?"
Ky glances at you, and you watch her determined face fall. It will definitely be heartbreaking for Ky if her best friend since kindergarten casts her out ultimately. For the second time, too. You don't know if you want to see Ky go through that again.
“I don’t know,” Ky whispers out and her words are full of sorrow.
Yeah, you had your wallowing moment over the loss of your friendship with Mara, but for Ky, it's different. Ky doesn't have anyone but you, Mara, and her boyfriend, James. Her parents died when she turned 16 in a fatal car accident, and Mara's parents took her in. She was always treated like family, but after this terrible event, Mara became more like a sister to her than a friend.
When Ky met James, they moved in with each other two years later. But Mara and her family still considered her a part of the family. You always envied Mara's and Ky's relationship. It wasn't like you were the third wheel to the Ky and Mara show, but there's always been an unbreakable bond between the two girls.
You just hoped Kwang didn't find a way to break that bond. For Ky's sake and your own.
When you feel the car come to a complete stop, you look out the window and realize Ky stopped at the front gate. Which could only mean one thing...
You've arrived.
-
After the front gate employee let you in, after you gave several forms of I.D.s, Ky drove you up to the dorm number Taehyung texted you this morning. Ky looks completely ecstatic. Looking everywhere she can without keeping her eyes off the road for too long.
This may be considered a gated community, but there wasn't many complex's in it. But you also knew that’s no why she was ecstatic. You watch your friend practically jump for joy as she drives, and feel your own smile pop on your face. Loving watching Ky get excited for just the prospect of driving to the BTS dorm.
When Ky pulls up to the right dorm, you feel your heart stop for a second. Staring at the home that houses the person you just realized you're in love with yesterday.
After a few moments of just taking the scene of their luxuries dorm in, you pull out your phone with shaking fingers and text Taehyung you’re here. After a few minutes, he reads your text and says he'll be out in 5.
You turn to Ky, and she has the biggest smile on her face still.
"Well, go on now.” She gestures with her hand to her out of the care. “Text me about every little detail later."
You giggle at your friend's subtle remark about wanting to know everything, and anything, about what happens in the BTS dorm. You then exchange a quick hug and exit Ky's car. Watching her drive down the driveway until she's out of sight.
You then look up the few flights of stairs and keep trying to remind yourself to breathe. That's Taehyungs's just a guy - a super famous, sexy as fuck, makes your heart run a mile a minute - type of guy. You squeeze your purse strap and dig your nails into your palm. Not letting the anxiety attack win.
You're alive and about to meet your penpal. Time to think positive thoughts about it.
You're meeting the guy you've been talking to for over two months. The guy who made you come out of your shell more and more each time you spoke to each other. Who made you forget the terrible parts of your past and made you look positively at the future. The guy who turned your life upside down, but you'll gladly keep doing these backflips for. The guy your heart has let you grow a little bigger for. The guy you've fallen in love with and feel the connection you always wanted.
Okay, Y/n. You got this.
You start going up the flight of stairs, and as you make it to the final few steps, the door opens. It opens incredibly slow, and you hear the marble door scrape across the ground lightly. It's like time has slowed down as it inches open, and then it stops altogether when it opens all the way. Presenting you with the man you've come all this way just to meet.
