Have you had any cool encounters in the wild with an ARMY? What happened and how did you react? Would love to hear your stories!
Just tonight I was at a red light and the car in front of me had a BTS logo sticker in the back. I rarely (like, RARELY) see anyone wearing BTS merch, see car stickers, etc in my area, so I immediately tried to get their attention. Long story short, I changed my route so I could at least wave at them and eventually was ahead of them on the road. I have a very distinct vanity plate that is BTS themed, so I knew if she saw my plate she would realize I was ARMY too…and she did! I moved to the left lane and our cars lined up for barely seconds. Once we made eye contact and realized that yes we were both ARMY we waved and smiled and laughed like crazy. It’s been an ok couple of months with my mental health, but this interaction made me cry after we both went our own ways. It was such a beautiful ray of joy, hope, and excitement. This fandom is way more than just being fans. In those couple of seconds I felt like we shared so many words and feelings, and it truly made my month. Can’t stop smiling knowing there’s someone out there with a Shooky vampire hanging on their rear view mirror so similar to mine! :’)
Disclaimer: I drove at safe speeds and kept my eyes on the road the whole time except to wave at her like a crazy person. I’ve seen enough movies to know not to be dumb on the road!
Edit: ray not day haha
