🐱SUGA: I ... Gashina-ya, naerang sagwi rae-e 가시나야, 내랑 사귈래? (Girl, you wanna date me? in Daegu Slang)

---------

🦉Jihye: I wish I was there to hear him say that.

Apparently, the video of SUGA speaking Daegu slang got viral on twitter. The overall popularity of BTS is growing steadily. The fan members in the cafe are also ever-increasing. Dis-proportionately, the time for the members to show up in the fan cafe has also slightly decreased. The boys seem to be preparing for their promotion in Japan soon. I have also not received any message from SUGA so far.

But I think I should still leave a text for him though

16.09.13

🦉Sweet-Wisdom: I saw you on the Inkigayo fan meet. You were really cool!

20.09.13

🦉Sweet-Wisdom: I'm going to the Gangnam fan sign on 9 Oct.

🦉Jihye: Yeoboseyo

🦢Yewon: Jihye-ah! Have you watched the video of Kkul FM for BTS 100 days?

🦉Jihye: Not yet. Why?

🦢Yewon: Hurry up and watch it. And you can fast forward to 23:25 of the video. The members pick some responses left on twitter! Mine was chosen by SUGA!

🦉Jihye: Really? Daebak! Which tweet was that?

🦢Yewon: I was the one who wrote the part "With the song 'Dude what's your dream!', I saw a handsome guy who was wearing a bandana while dancing. Looking at him again, he has a lot of charms. At that time I knew that I've found my other half!"

🦉Jihye: Wah... Unnie, you are no joke for writing this.

🦢Yewon: Ya, I need to save down this historical moment.

🦢Yewon: Anyway, when are you joining me for fan sign again? It so hard to catch a glimpse of you too!

🦉Jihye: Mianhae (I'm sorry) unnie, I am so caught up with studies and part-time work. I will be going to the Gangnam fan sign on 9 October. I'm so glad there isn't any class in the afternoon on that day.

🦢Yewon: Ok! I'll see you around!

----------

Today I was really early to arrive for the fan sign event. I arrived two hours earlier and managed to queue on the second row of fans. The fall has arrived, the weather is really perfect at sixteen degrees celsius, with a bit of sunshine showering down the streets.

We were later brought in to the auditorium hall to be seated.

The members are seated in the order; Jin, J-hope, Jungkook, Jimin, Rapmon, SUGA, V.

After a round of introduction, the fan sign starts. Row by row, fans were brought to the front to meet the members.

It's finally going to be my turn. I'm so excited!

🐿️

I pass him the album's photobook to be signed.

🐿️ JIN: Annyeong. What is your name?

🦉Jihye: Kim Jihye imnida.

🐿️ JIN: ahh, Jihye-ssi. Are you still a student?

🦉Jihye: ne~ I'm a college student in year one.

🐿️ JIN: I see. In this case, I'm older than you. I'm oppa-ya.

🦉Jihye: ne~*laugh* Seokjin oppa. You're really handsome like a prince. I first saw you on the typical trainee's Christmas MV. I find you really good looking!

🐿️ JIN: ah-really! Thank you.

🐴J-HOPE: Ye! Annyeonghaseyo! What is your name?

🐴J-HOPE: Ji...hye. Really thank you that you can come to the fan meeting. Which song do you like best in this album?

🦉Jihye: I like Satoori rap a lot! Your part in the rap is so sunshine! I like it a lot. I know this song was first written by you, Rapmon and SUGA during your pre-debut times.

🐴J-HOPE: *shy* Most work is done by Rapmon and SUGA Hyung, I just contribute in a small part of lyrics.

🦉Jihye: Anyway, I'm going to be expecting more fabulous songs from all of you!

🐴J-HOPE: Ye! Of course. Thank you for your support!

-------

: Annyeonghaseyo.

🦉Jihye: Jungkook-ah. Nuna (older sister) prepared a gift for you.

I pulled out a small plushie for him and give it to him.

🐰: Ah, really thank you. I like it a lot!

🦉Jihye: I attended the first broadcast for the group's debut. I was so impressed with your dance and hat tricks. Your singing is really stable, I'm so proud of you.

🐰: Nuna was there during the debut stage? Woah, thank you for supporting us from the start! I will work hard to give the best performance!

--------

JIMIN

🐥JIMIN: Nuna, I've overheard your conversation with Jungkook. What about me? What do you think of my part?

🦉Jihye: Jimin-ie... jjang! Frankly speaking, I was so surprised at the abs revealed. I felt my heart bursting at that moment! You've captured so many ARMY's hearts from that!

🐥JIMIN: Ehh. But most importantly is to capture nuna's heart. I hope to capture nuna's heart on every performance we put out. Please continue to support us!

I gave Jimin a headband. He put it on and do some aegyo.

Seriously, Jimin is too good at flirting. My heart skips a few times while talking to Jimin.

🐨

🐨 RAPMON: Annyeonghaseyo. Your name?

🦉Jihye: Kim Jihye-imnida.

🐨 RAPMON: Ahhh~. Now I remember, I have seen on our first album fan sign. It is at ...

🦉Jihye: Incheon Shinsegae

🐨 RAPMON: Right! I'm sorry, I should have remembered.

🦉Jihye: No. It's alright. I'm really surprised that you can even remember that. It was a long time. I'm also not as active as many ARMYs here.

🐨 RAPMON: Every ARMY is precious to us. Without your support, we wouldn't be here to see you.

--------

SUGA: You came. I didn't see you at the Inkigayo fan meet. (Informal tone)

🦉Jihye: Sorry. I was late because of work. But I did go. I was just at the back of the crowd.

🐱SUGA: I know. You wore a white and brown cafe uniform, am I right? (Informal tone)

🦉Jihye: How did you know?

🐱SUGA: I know everything. (Informal tone)

🐱SUGA is signing the photobook and said: "Where's the handwritten letter?" I saw you gave Jungkook and Jimin gifts. Where's mine? (Informal tone)

🦉Jihye: We have been talking over the chatroom, isn't it?

🐱SUGA: How can DM be compared with handwritten letters? I'm disappointed. (Informal tone)

🦉Jihye: Why are you behaving like this? I saw you were talking so sweetly to the other fans, and you are bullying me here.

🐱SUGA: Friends, both of us. Your words, in the letter. (Informal tone)

I was speechless for a while. Does SUGA really see me as a friend? Not just a regular fan?

🦉Jihye: B... but... what kind of friend is this, to only meet in fan sign event? (Informal tone)

As I have spent more than a minute talking to SUGA, I was quickly requested to move to the next person. So before I can hear SUGA's reply, I took out the fan letter I wrote for him, put it in front of him, and go to V.

🐻V: Don't bully my wife.

🐻V: Don't worry, my wife! I will protect you.

After he is done with his signature message. V came up to wrap his fingers around mine. I am so shocked by his outwardness, my face turns all red.

There were some commotions at the back by the fangirls from V's actions.

I calmly released my fingers, and use the album to cover my flushed face and head back to the seats.

---------

Yewon Unnie spotted me and ask to go to her direction.

🦢Yewon: Wah Total daebak! Taehyung grabbed your hands. How did you feel? Shim-kong?

🦉Jihye: Ahhh... Molla (I don't know)

Yewon Unnie showed me the footage of me meeting all the members. I am watching the part of V holding my hands. I noticed at the side of the footage, SUGA's expression was captured, he is staring at V when he holds my hands.

Studio door

🐿️ Seokjin: Yoongi-ah. Time to eat.

🐱Yoongi: I'm still not hungry. You guys eat first.

Seokjin walks back to the hall and sat down on the dining chair.

🐿️ Seokjin: Yoongi said he's not hungry and asks us to eat first. Let's eat, but don't forget to leave him a portion.

🐥Jimin: Is Yoongi Hyung alright? He looks extra tired after the fan sign.

🐨 Namjoon: I think Yoongi Hyung is not tired. He's more like being upset. You did wrong, Taehyung-ah.

🐻Taehyung: Me? Why?

🐨 Namjoon: Earlier, that fan. You held her hands.

🐻Taehyung: I was just joking.

🐨 Namjoon: I knew that, of course. I know how you interact with fans. But that lady seems to be different to Yoongi Hyung.

🐰Jungkook: Ah, that Nuna? Wearing a pastel shirt? She's really kind, she gave me a plushie and Jimin Hyung a headband.

🐿️ Seokjin: She shared that she been following us since pre-debut. I'm so touched.

🐴Hoseok: And she really likes our Satoori rap!

🐨 Namjoon: From their conversation, it seems like Yoongi Hyung sees her, as a friend. So I think it's not very nice to do that. You should apologize to Yoongi Hyung.

🐻Taehyung: I will do that. But I'm scared...

🐿️ Seokjin: Everyone, let finish our dinner first. Taehyung-ah, later you be the one to deliver the food to Yoongi and do your apology.

---------

The studio is turned on with the music. Looks like Yoongi is working on his beats.

Studio door

No response.

Taehyung cautiously entered the room, and place the tray of food on the coffee table. SUGA is wearing the headphone, focusing on his production.

🐻Taehyung: Hyung *whisper* x 3

🐻Taehyung: Hyung.

🐱Yoongi: Why?

🐻Taehyung: I brought you food.

🐱Yoongi: Araseo, left it there. I'm busy now.

🐻Taehyung: Hyung... are you angry with me?

🐱Yoongi: No. I'm just tired. (But it is more than obvious that Yoongi is in a bad mood based on his tone)

🐻Taehyung: But Namjoon Hyung said that I made a mistake, with Hyung's fan. That Nuna. I was just joking, I meant no purpose to be rude. I'm sorry Hyung.

🐱Yoongi: I know. I'm really not angry. I will eat the food later.

🐱Yoongi: Thank you for bringing in the food, Taehyung-ah.

Taehyung after hearing so, turn back to his dorky self with a box smile.

🐻Taehyung: Ne, please enjoy the food.

Taehyung then left the room.

Yoongi pulls out the fan letter from the keyboard. It is a yellow envelope, at the bottom right corner is a cartoon drawing of peko-chan.

"Annyeong SUGA-ssi.

It's me again. I'm really thankful that you are so active in the fan cafe and talk to me. I am really touched by your birthday wishes even though it is just two characters, haha.

You asked me about the webtoon. I didn't manage to share it during the DM, but I thought maybe I can write it here.

The replacement Ajussi that I mentioned is a real jerk. He was rude throughout the meeting, and making degrading remarks about my work, saying it's a feminazi content. The suggestion he gave to "improve" the content is to turn it into a sexy lesbian love storyline to attract male readers. I was hugely disturbed by his comment. I am really furious. Are we still in the 19th century?

I've decided to put on hold the project until I can find another publisher to get featured. Meanwhile, I will just put out my usual illustrations and comics for free. Meanwhile getting by with my weekend job at the cafe.

Anyway, I really like the photos you posted on the Bangtan blog. It's always a random mix of people, objects and scenery. I like to take photos too, even though I'm not skilled at it. The point is to go around to be inspired by new ideas for my drawings.

I understand that you all really busy with the various promoting activities. I haven't been seeing any new updates of photos from you since July. I'm really looking forward to the new updates of photos from Min Yoongi!

Rest well. Fighting!

Kim Jihye
