The next morning Alex awoke to several notifications on her phone. Apparently Tae had given her number to the others and they had all requested to follow her Instagram. Seriously, she was loving her life! After getting ready she was leaving her room to get Ji-Hoon when she ran into Yoongi in the hallway. His hair was still wet from his shower and he wore the cologne she first smelled during the photo shoot.

"Good morning, Alex. Big plans today?"

"Ji-Hoon and I are meeting with RM today for his first interview. How about you?"

"I'm heading to get J-Hope for a song we are working on. Well, I'll see you later." He continued walking down the hall to J-Hope's room.

Alex shook her head to clear the fog, that man seriously messed her up just by breathing. She headed to Ji-Hoon's room and knocked on the door. He opened it as he was slinging his bag over his shoulder. "Let's go!"

They met RM at the Hamarikyu Gardens. It was a beautiful place still full of greenery and life. She watched as the water calmly lapped at the banks. Alex took out her phone and took a selfie in front of the water. She posted it to her Instagram then headed over to where RM was leaning against the rail of the bridge.

He took a big breathe in and let it out, "Isn't this amazing? I love this kind of scenery."

Alex admired the view around them, "Yes, I have to say this is quite stunning. It reminds me of something out of a painting. Speaking of, have you been to any new art galleries lately?"

"Not lately, we have been busy preparing for the tour so I haven't had as much free time. Today is one of the only days I'll be free until next week actually."

"Well, I'm honored to have this time to meet with you." Alex took out her notebook and Ji-Hoon set up his camera.

They talked about Japan and the changes RM noticed since the last time he had been there. "We haven't been here since 2018 during our last tour. That was before the pandemic hit. I worry about taking things for granted. Not getting to see beautiful places like this, and not getting to see ARMY for so long really weighed on us. I think this time around we are really soaking in every moment because you never know when this will end."

They walked along the lake discussing new songs RM was working on and when BTS planned on releasing their next album. Ji-hoon shot from different angles capturing the scenery while keeping focus on Alex and RM. His alarm went off and he signaled the two of them that time was up.

"Thank you for your time today Namjoon. I'll let you get to the rest of your day." Alex put her notepad back in her bag.

"It was my pleasure, you make this process easy. I know you are only getting started and the questions will get more personal, but this was enjoyable." He gave her a small bow before he left.

"Oh, before you go, would you mind taking a selfie with my phone? My mom is a huge fan." Alex gave him an apologetic smile.

"Of course!" He snapped the picture then handed her the pone back. "I'll see you later!" RM waved and was on his way.

Alex and Ji-Hoon looked over the footage together while standing on the banks of the lake. "I love the feel of this. The way you captured him makes him look very sophisticated. It's perfect!"

They headed back to the hotel since the rest of their day was free. Ji-Hoon went to his room to work on editing, while Alex went to her room to make her notes. She checked her phone for notifications and saw that some of the members had liked her selfie by the lake. She smiled to herself and decided to text her mom.

I have a present for you!

AHHH!!!!! Omg, it's RM! I'm so jealous!

Are you having a good time so far?

Absolutely!

We had dinner with Jungkook and Tae last night, and tomorrow Ji-Hoon and I are going to see the Meiji Jingu.

I'll send more pics tomorrow!

Can't wait!

Alex decided to settle in for a short nap. She had quite a bit of time to kill until the first concert on Friday. She drifted off to sleep with images of Yoongi filling her head. She tossed and turned on the bed. Suddenly her eyes opened and she stared at the ceiling. So much for a nap. Why was her head full of him suddenly? She could admit she was extremely attracted to him, he was her bias after all, but it was more than that. He was always respectful towards her, and he seemed to always be right there when she needed help. She could never gauge what he was feeling or thinking when he was around her though. He obviously found her amusing when she was making a fool of herself. She felt discombobulated when he was around. Ugh! He made her want to dig into his mind so she could figure him out. The reporter in her wanted to find out everything she could about Min Yoongi. The woman in her was scared of what she would find when she did.
