               It’s been a couple weeks since that magical night. You’re in a cute top and jeans, you have hit it off with Yoongi and taeke a seat next to him as music class starts. Mr. Lang Lang says, “I make classical music to be enjoyed and accepted by more people. My priority is to study new works. This is why I like improvisation. We need to connect to a modern audience, for which you have to be in the current music scene. That is why, I won’t be teaching you any pieces today. I’d like you to get to know the other departments. Consider this a second orientation day. You’ll be working with them as the months progress for a variety of performances. You’ll find that playing with other artists creates a special kind of synergy. It gives you Hope. Remember, Jamming is totally Jaems.”
              You wonder about these wonderous halls when you meet Taeyang, a budding vocalist and ‘Tempo’ an underground rapper, “I’m trying to become a person who I’ve been imajining as my hero since I was very little.” “That’s wonderful. Music is a powerful medium. I Hope you achieve your dreams. I’m sure you will.” “Yes, you’re right. No matter what anyone says Passion never Lies. I’ve heard you play as well, you are amazing. We will come up on T.O.P.” You blush and blurt out, “Absolutely! On T.O.P. of the world.” You instantly regret saying that. He laughs and says, “You don’t even have to try to be sexy, nothing is more attractive than your natural self, the way you are…” “Also Ms. Meghna Mizuki, call me Choi Seung-Hyun ;) ”
              You walk around and meet Blackpink. They invite you to have lunch with them. You see them eating Japanese Sushi and one of smiles and says, “Friends come and go, like the waves of ocean but the true ones stay like an octopus on your face. It’s nice meeting you Meghna Mizuki...” You smile. “By the way, who was that cute NamJa who was totally checking you out the other day.” “No one. Wait WHO are you talking about?” “Well, yeah, all the boys are checking you out but I meant the one you left with the other day ;) ” “Oh! You mean NamJoon!” You said with a melted voice. “Yeah, we just went out once.” “Interesting, how long have you two been together?” “We haven’t. We aren’t.  Anyways, I’ve gotta go. Yoongi is probably looking for me. Bye! It was nice meeting y’all.” “Bye, Taeke care, Maybe we’ll become friends for so long that you’ll forget who the bad influence is!” says one of them winking at you. You quickly R.U.N away
              You then find Suga in one of the rooms, he’s with someone. You feel it bewildering. You stop for a second, freeze Ddaeng… He’s playing piano for someone… You’re dumbfounded, it’s seriously bewildering, you even fumble for words, You are unable to speak. “I- I- like you too much” you think to yourself. This man is just so sweet. Like 10 bars of chocolate. You just can’t. He fills your heart with Hope as he begins to dance. Suga On piano and the dancer grooving is a sight to Bewilder. He’s fiery when he dances. He’s so talented, you could stare at him all day ;)
              The angelic dancer introduces himself to you, “I’m your hoef. You’re my Hope. I’m J-Hoepe.” You blush and reply, “I’m Meghna Mizuki. Yah neo, I can sense that your name is like your life, your mind, Hopeful. You’re Sunshine...” He’s smiles, he’s touched, “Thank you! I believe in always bringing your own sunshine.” “I’m a classical pianist.” “I’m a dancer. I’m an open-minded person when it comes to genres but Hip-Hop is my focus, my career.” “It’s lovely to meet you.”
              The next evening you are at the LSE, studying with G-Dragon. “Yah neo, I’m really enjoying music uni. I’ve met so many cool people.” “Like who?” “Well, bands like Blackpink, pianists like Yoongi and BamBam, artists like Taeyang and Choi Seung-Hyun. It’s-” “Wait did you just say Choi Seung-Hyun?” “Yeah, he’s a rapper.” “We were neighbourhood friends from middle school, we often danced and rapped together. Later, I moved away and we became distant.”
               “Whoa! He goes by the name ‘Tempo’ these days… You should stop by my uni sometime. Y’all could catch up.” “I just might taeke you up on that offer.”

8th of July 2010, Thursday :
               Suga and J-Hope are jaemming together it’s adorable, Almost like they’re made for each other. They’re so focussed, so passionate, so talented, so cute… You could go on forever.
               Jinnie and TaeTae come to the Royal College of Music to pick you up. TaeTae’s astounded by the grandiosity of these halls, “I just wanna dive into these paintings. They are very infiring. As yah neo, Fashion is my Passion. So, I’ll be going to Paris in a couple of weeks. I’ve got an internship at Gucci. I’ll be working on the Fashion Week Winter Runway Project.” “That’s brilliant! Just marvellous! Congratulations TaeTae! You truly deserve all the success in the world. You’re a style icon. I’m really gonna miss you!” You give TaeTae a big warm hug. TaeTae lightly kisses your ear.
               Right then Jungkook walks in and a startled Tae pulls away. “Oh! Hello Jungkook! This is my good friend Taehyung” Tae replies, “It’s a pleasure to meet you man! I’m Kim Taehyung. I’m college student studying fashion.” “Hello! I’m Jeon Jungkook, I’m still in school but I’m ‘Mr. Kim Namjoon’s assistant’ It’s good to meet you too.” You can tell Jungkook is nervous. He’s an adorable little school boy who sometimes wears his heart on his sleeves. He turns to you,

               “Hello, Hello! I’ve got a letter, I’ll give it to you girl right now.” You could have sworn you heard Jungkook whisper, “You’re not mine, but You are the best. My body twists in front of you…” Butt he just smiles with boyish charm and hands you the letter. It’s from NamJoon he’s written you a love letter…
Dear Meghna Mizuki,

               At first sight, I could recognise you. As if we were calling for each other. The DNA in my blood vessels tell me, That it’s you I was looking all over for. Would you like to come over to my place for a Date Night Alone, just us together? We could watch the movie- Eternal Sunshine for a spotless mind… Because you are my eternal sunshine, The evidence of destiny given to me. You're the source of my dream. My hand reaching out to you is my chosen fate. Don't worry, love. None of this is a coincidence. We're totally different, baby because we're the two who found our destiny. In the previous life and maybe the next too, We’re Eternally together. I want it this love I want it real love. I only focus on you. From the very beginning, my heart runs to you. Every time I see you, I freak out. Surprisingly, I keep gasping and it's weird, maybe. This is the emotion they call love.

Yours Sincerely,
Kim NamJoon

               You squeal with glee. You look up at everyone and your face turns red. Jungkook whistles nonchalantly, and the whole scene infires you. RUNning to the piano, you play an enchanting melody C# B C# C# | G# A B A G# | Jin then picks up the acoustic guitar and starts strumming an upbeat percussive rhythm. Jungkook namjoins in with a drumbeat and Taehyung starts singing. Who knew the idea of a Date Night Alone with NamJoon could infire a song! Suga and J-Hope hear the music. They walk in and begin rapping. Next thing you know, it’s a full-blown concert and you’re playing an original impromptu composition (DNA) People gather around and enjoy the music. Professor Lang Lang was right, Jamming is totally Jaems.
