JM BENAVIDEZ

“What’s your address? We’ll look you up on the map.” You give him your address, praying that it’s not right around the corner. He looks down at the map and then up at you. “You’ve walked over three miles. How long have you been out here?” You shrug sheepishly and then look down at your playlist, roughly figuring out how much time has passed. “An hour, maybe an hour and a half?” You grimace and he shakes his head smiling. “Have you been listening to our music this whole time?” You nod, chuckling. “I can’t help it, your music really makes me feel better. I was feeling as dark as the sky staying inside by myself. Being out here, with you guys, it was like a sunny day.” 

 

His smile warms you, but you still shiver involuntarily. “I’m staying right around the corner. Why don’t you come home with me and dry off? We can put your clothes in the dryer and I’ll get you a ride home later.” Inside you are doing summersaults but outside you shiver harder. “I’d like that.” You manage and he frowns. “Come on, before you get sick.” You nod and he turns, making sure to keep you covered by his umbrella. 

 

As you walk up the stairs to their house, you start to panic about meeting all seven members of BTS. “Is it ok for me to be here?” RM stops at the front door and looks at you. “Actually, give me just a minute to warn everyone that you’re here.” You nod, grateful to be shielded from the elements by the entryway. “I’ll be right back.” He quickly walks inside, closing the door behind him. You can hear him yelling as his voice fades, obviously looking for the rest of the members. 

 

A moment later the door opens and Jin is standing on the other side of the door. He quickly wrapped a towel around your shoulders and escorts you inside, his arm still around your shoulders. You stutter as he closes the door and all of BTS descends on you. Jimin hands you a fluffy white robe, Jungkook hands you a pair of black sweatpants, black t-shirt and a black sweatshirt. V stacks two fluffy white towels on top of the pile and J-Hope hands you a mug of warm water. RM comes out of the back hallway and escorts you into the back. “Go ahead and take a hot shower and change. Then we’ll put your clothes into the dryer. Jin and Suga are cooking, so there will be hot food when you get done.”

 

“Who’s room is this?” You ask, slightly concerned and RM smiled. “This is Jin’s room. Because he’s the oldest, we let him have his own bathroom this time.” You feel relieved that you aren’t kicking him out of his room. He backs out of the room and points at the knob. “Feel free to lock the door if you want.” As he leaves you alone, you try not to freak out. You eye the doorknob and then figure that they’d never come in, even if you begged them to, because they’d be in serious trouble. You look down at the puddle on the floor and quickly duck into the bathroom to strip out of your clothes. 

You step into the luxurious shower, a little disappointed that this isn’t their permanent residence and that they won’t be staying three miles from you forever. As you shower away the cold rain water, warming yourself to the core, you try to contain your squeals as you remind yourself that you are about to wear clothing owned by BTS while eating with them. You quickly climb out of the shower and dry off. You wrap your hair up in one of the towels and slip into the clothes that Jungkook gave you. As you look at the size of them, you figure they are probably his. You quickly snap a selfie of you in his clothes and giggle, knowing that picture will never be seen by anyone but yourself. 

 

You dry your puddle with the other towel that you had used on your body and then wrap your clothes in it before heading out into the hallway. A pair of white slippers sat in the hallway outside your door and you slip into them. They are way too big but you don’t care as you shuffle down the hallway into the main living area. Your nose is tempted by whatever Jin and Suga have been cooking and your stomach growls loudly. RM laughs as he stands up from the couch taking your clothes. “Head into the kitchen, they’re almost done cooking. I’ll take these.” Jimin sees you first and motions to the towel on your head. “Do you want a blow dryer?” You scan the kitchen and Jin nods at you. “You’ve got time, this isn’t done yet.” You see Suga for the first time and realize that this is really happening, you are standing in the room with all seven members of BTS.

RM takes your hand and pulls you towards the back of the house again, Jimin close behind you. “Take her to my room, she can use the bench and mirror.” RM steers you into a new room and you smile at the dual beds. “Still sharing a room with J-Hope?” You ask as Jimin walks over to the wall and plugs in a blow dryer. “Always!” He smiles as RM sits you down on the bench. Jimin hands you the blow dryer and then gives you a brush. “You can use mine.” He offers and you take both from him, meeting his eyes. He smiles at you and you rest both in your lap as you just stare at him for a moment before looking at RM’s reflection in the mirror and at J-Hope in the doorway behind him. You turn looking at all of them, smiling. “If I’m dreaming, I never want to wake up.” Hobi laughs and his smile tickles your soul. “You aren’t dreaming.”
