The Unexpected Invitation

The club lights flickered again, and the bass of the music throbbed through Y/n’s chest. Her mind was still reeling from the revelation. Park Jimin sitting here, talking to her like she was just another person was something she could hardly process.

Jimin leaned back, smirking, that familiar sparkle in his eyes.

Jimin: So… you coming with me or are you going to keep staring at me like I’m some kind of alien?

Y/n blinked. He’s serious. He actually wants me to leave with him.

y/n (hesitant): I… I don’t know. What if someone sees us?

Jimin waved a hand dismissively.

Jimin: That’s the fun part. We’ll sneak out. No cameras, no chaos, just… a normal night. If you want it.

Her heart pounded, excitement mingling with fear. Something about the thrill of sneaking out with a superstar felt like stepping into a dream she didn’t want to wake from.

y/n (nervously laughing): Okay… I’ll go. But only if you promise this is completely safe.

Jimin: Cross my heart.

With that, he took her hand, guiding her toward the back exit. The club’s security and crowd were too focused on the music to notice them slipping away. As they stepped out into the quiet night, the city lights of Seoul stretched endlessly before them. The air was cool, carrying the faint scent of street food and city life.

Jimin led her through narrow streets, weaving around late-night cafes and dimly lit alleys. Y/n’s nerves began to fade, replaced by a bubbling curiosity.

Finally, they arrived at a small, secluded rooftop. The view was breathtaking Seoul’s skyline glittered, reflecting off the Han River in the distance. The city buzzed below them, but up here, it felt like a private world.

y/n: Wow… this is beautiful. How did you find this place?

Jimin: It’s my little secret. A spot where I can forget everything. No fans, no cameras… just me.

He sat down on the edge, legs dangling over the rooftop, and patted the space beside him. Y/n hesitated a moment, then sat down, her legs swinging cautiously.

They were quiet for a few minutes, simply looking out over the city. Then Jimin broke the silence.

Jimin: You know… being famous isn’t as glamorous as people think. There are nights like this where I just want to disappear… to be normal, even if only for a few hours.

Y/n turned to him, her heart softening.

y/n: I can’t even imagine… Everyone always looks up to you, admires you. But sometimes… it must feel lonely.

Jimin glanced at her, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips.

Jimin: Yeah. And then I meet someone… someone who reminds me there’s more to life than fame.

His words made Y/n’s chest tighten. There was an honesty in his voice that no stage or camera could capture. She wanted to ask more, to dive deeper, but the moment hung delicate between them.

Suddenly, Jimin pulled out his phone, his expression slightly mischievous.

Jimin: So… I think I should get your number. I want to see you again.

y/n felt her cheeks warm.

y/n (teasing): Is this your usual move with strangers?

Jimin laughed softly, his hand brushing hers for a fleeting moment.

Jimin: Only when I feel like fate’s involved.

Her hand tingled where they touched. Heart racing, Y/n fished her phone from her bag and handed it to him. He typed in his number and sent a message to her with a smile that made her weak in the knees.

y/n (thinking): This is insane. I’m literally exchanging numbers with Park Jimin… and somehow, it feels… right.

They sat in companionable silence, the city lights reflecting their thoughts, until the cool night air nudged them back to reality.

y/n (softly): I should… probably head back.

Jimin stood, offering his hand again.

Jimin: I’ll walk you to your taxi. But… be ready. Tomorrow, you might just see me again.

As Y/n left the rooftop, heart still racing, she couldn’t help but smile. Fate, chaos, and a superstar her life was changing, and she didn’t want it any other way.
