KAT'S POV
I woke up early the next day. I remembered going out at the hotel, eating and singing in front of a crowd crying. Embarrassment then flooded me.
Wow. Who would have thought I could do that?
That was a first for me and nobody know me so that would be okay. They applauded so I might have done a good job.
I got ready for the day. I showered and dressed in a white spaghetti top paired with my high waist loose tattered pants that highlighted hourglass my body figure.
I applied sunblock to my exposed areas since it's going to be hot outside. I put on my floral kimono cardigan to finish my outfit.
I applied my powder, tint and blush. I have decided to apply my concealer too since my eyebags were too obvious from crying last night. To finish my look, I ironed my hair to big waves.
I prepared my bag and brought my foldable hat with it. I ate breakfast at the hotel before leaving.
My first destination was a motorcycle rental shop at Gzira. I looked for a cab and told the driver about the address.
"Are you tourist, miss?" the old taxi driver asked smiling.
"Yes sir," I smiled at him. He looked decent an his smile reminded me of the grandpa who already passed away.
"You're alone?"
"Yes. Too bad for me sir" I laughed and answered him.
"Those young men are too blind these days" he cheered me up. His smile was too genuine.
"Hahaha! You made my day sir." I said.
We continued chatting until we reached my destination.
"Thank you so much!" I thanked him and paid my fair including some tip. I enjoyed his company and at least I got a chance to meet someone like my grandpa.
"Thank you! Please stop pouting, it's such a waste of your beautiful face. I can see your sadness in your eyes." he said.
I smiled listening to his word. "You really reminded me of the grandpa sir. It is exactly what he would say. Please take care of your health sir. Thank you again!"
He smiled and left.
I looked for the shop in Gzira. It took me almost two years to plan this trip so I came prepared. I located the shop.
"Good day! I'm looking for a bike to rent for a week" I asked the young attendant.
"Oh hi!" he straightened up and looked surprised, "Which bike would you want?"
"Can I see the models?" I requested.
"Sure!" he handed me a list.
The bikes available were mostly scooter but one bike got my attention. "Is the red bike available?" I asked.
"Yes. Would you like to test drive it first?" he asked.
"No, I'm fine."
He handed me papers for the rental. I returned it with the required documents as well as the payment.
After settling the rental, he led me to the bike and handed me a helmet.
I have met my companion for this trip. My red Yamaha FZ V 2.0 with a top box for my stuff.
"Thanks!" I said to the attendant and he just smiled at me.
I wore my helmet and it fits me perfectly. I checked the time and it was almost noon time. Perfect time for the cannon fire. I smiled and returned to Valletta.
I headed to my first destination, Upper Barrakka Gardens, and my bike was so cooperative.
I arrived at the location 10 mins before the firing time. I opened the top box to store the helmet but there was another helmet in the box. The attendant gave me 2 helmets.
Having nowhere to store the helmet, I have no choice but to bring it with me. I went to the location. There were a lot of people waiting but luckily I got a spot in front.
I took my camera from my travel bag and took photos of the beautiful place. While taking pictures, my bag bumped on someone behind me.
"Do you know BTS?" he asked.
Not again? What pick up line is that? Thinking someone was hitting on me based on my asian appearance annoyed me. I looked at the person who asked a question.
WHAAAT? I stood there without moving as I stared at his face. I wanted to answer him but no words came out. The person I bumped to was SEOKJIN!
I was speechless by his looks! He got that small face with very manly features. He was taller than me and he got broad shoulders. He was wearing a white shirt, black shorts and a pink hat.
He looks so relaxed but with aura was something very overwhelming.
Yes. I know BTS! I know you! You're Seokjin! My thoughts answered him but for the moment, I just cannot talk.
"Boooom!" the cannon just fired. I did not see it since I was still occupied by the person in front of me. I looked at the direction of the cannon and just saw the smoke.
"Woaaah!" he reacted at the cannon, "Hey! You missed it. Hahahahaha" he said laughing at me.
I looked at him without saying a word. I do not know how to react. I did not expect to meet him here.
"Of all the people I've asked that question, you've got the best reaction. Hahahaha! See you around" he then winked and walked away from me.
What was that? I almost collapsed. Only then I got to breath. I breathed heavily, still recovering from my experience a while ago.
That was not how I imagined acting when I meet him but we was just breathtaking that I could not react at all.
And then it hit me, Jin is here. So is Taehyung. I was not hallucinating at the airport at all. I was with them the whole trip without noticing them. Such a coincidence.
I walked at a nearby restaurant thinking about my encounter with BTS. I might looked so dumb, my reactions to them was really so stupid.
I ordered food for myself and ate while thinking how stupid I was. What are the odds of meeting them again? Malta is a small country.
I finished my meal thinking of how should I react when I see them again.
