I was sleeping peacefully clung onto Taehyung, until I was woken up by loud banging and shouting noises. I recalled the events from last night remembering that we got kidnapped. I got forcefully pulled out of bed since I wasn't getting out by myself, I stood next to Namjoon while rubbing my eyes and flattening out my hair to look more presentable for the cameras. "Why did you come to L.A.?" One of the tall men asked to which Namjoon replied "To learn music." I was finally understanding what was going on. This was a music boot camp for us to learn from actual hip-hop artists. "What kind of music do y'all make?" One of them asked. "It's kind of like..." Jungkook said while trailing off trying to find the word to describe the music we make. Namjoon finished his sentence for him by saying "Hip-Hop" to which the men who were formally known as our kidnappers made us yell out and be more enthusiastic. The men walked around the room giving us high-fives in an attempt to hype us up and get us ready for the day to come. The three men surprised us by bringing our luggage to us along with our phones and carry-ons that we had left in the van last night. "Get dressed and ready and then go sit on the couch." One of them explained to us in English which Namjoon translated to Korean. I opened up my suitcase pulling out a black tube top, with a grey skirt with black bows on the hips, black knee-high stockings, and some black Hightop Converse.

I walked out of the bathroom where I had changed making eye contact with Taehyung who was dumbfounded at the clothes I had put on. He broke eye contact as he went to get something from his suitcase. He walked back over to me with one of his jackets, handing it to me. "Here so you can cover your legs." He explained with a cute smile on his face. I took the jacket before walking over to the couch and taking a seat, placing the jacket over my legs to cover them up a bit more. Soon everyone was sitting on the couch and the three men were also sitting down on chairs to the side of the couch. "We'll start with the instructions. We'll introduce ourselves, and we'll go down the line and you guys can tell us your names and tell us a little about yourselves, Okay?" One of the men explained, to which we all collectively nodded. "I'm Zaire, I'm a producer and a rapper." The man furthest from the couch said. "I'm Nate Walka. I'm a producer, and a rapper, and a producer." The man in the middle explained before looking at the last man signaling him to introduce himself, "I'm Tony Jones. I come from Texas." We all nodded taking in the little information they gave us. "We have you for 2 weeks. You can't go home." Tony explained to us in English. I couldn't help but make a surprised face, I knew this was a boot camp but I already wanted to go back home to Korea. "We work, not play. Not too much sleeping. Rule number 2, we're going to have competitions." He explained pausing to let us soak in the information. "Oh! I like competition" Taehyung said in an excited tone making me smile at how adorable he was even in serious situations. "We're going to have a winner and a loser. Winners are going to get a prize. You'll get some type of reward. You understand? The losers are bad." This felt like school all over again with all of the rules they were giving us and how they were explaining it to us. "Rule number 3, you will listen to us, we are here to help you guys. So BTS, we have a very, very special guest, A legend in the rap game. He's known internationally, and he's here to speak with your guys. Make sure you pay attention. Okay?" He said finally finishing explaining all of the strict rules he had for us before the three of them got up and walked over to the door leaving us alone. "I think it's Dr. Dre," Namjoon said getting the rest of the members excited. We all settled back down on the couch, I decided to move and sit next to Taehyung. He wrapped his arm around my waist while putting the jacket on my legs to cover them up even more. We then heard the door open and we looked at the door to see who was walking in. A man wearing a red and yellow shirt walked in, it was Coolio, I loved Coolio. We all stood up to greet him while also letting out "Woahs" out of excitement at who was in front of us. "Y'all speak English?" He asked earning a "Yes" from Namjoon and "No's" from the rest of us. "How did Hip-Hop start? What was the first rap single to go platinum? What group is Chuck D from?" He was already grilling us with questions, he then got up and walked over to the side of the couch where Jhope, Taehyung, and I were all sitting. "Hello," Taehyung said with a boxy smile on his face. He then shook Coolio's hand before saying "Turn up," I couldn't help but laugh at his misuse of 'Turn up'.  Coolio looked at him with a blank stare, "What does turn up mean?" He asked Taehyung who was now looking at him with a nervous expression. "Let's go party, Let's turn up!" Taehyung explained in his broken English while slightly jumping up and down on the couch while never letting go of his grip on my waist. Coolio looked up in the distance with a serious look on his face, "Give me 25 Push-ups." He said while pointing down at the ground. Taehyung got up hesitantly looking at the ground while saying "Is he asking me to do 205?" Namjoon simply replied"25 push-ups" while covering his mouth to not make Coolio mad. Cooli walked back over to where Taehyung was once sitting while looking down at me. "Is he your boyfriend?" I looked at him confused while trying to understand what he was asking me. Once I realized what he had asked me I quickly shook my head while saying "No, we are just friends." Coolio cocked his eyebrow up while still looking down at me. "Are you sure because the way you two were sitting didn't look like just friends?" I took a second to think about what he had said translating it into my mind. "No, we're just friends" Coolio just nodded turning his attention back to Taehyung who was finishing up his push-ups. Coolio went back to sit down on his chair taking a long sigh. "So basically I can see y'all don't know shit about hip-hop, I'm gonna teach yall about hip-hop and I'm going to teach yall the hard way." He stood up from his chair and set up a speaker since he was going to give us a live performance. All of the boys were bopping around to the man's raps and foul language that was spewing from his mouth. When he was done he quickly walked past us while muttering "I wanna hear y'all do something, I wanna see you do something." He then walked out of the room closing the door behind him and giving us some time to prepare one of our songs for him. "Do we just do it when he comes in?" Yoongi asked confused about what our plan was. "I think he might not come." Jimin commented with a cheeky smile on his face. "I don't have a good feeling about this." Namjoon said while looking down at the floor. We stood in silence not daring to say anything until we heard the door open and saw Coolio walking in. "2,3!" Namjoon started our introduction, "Hello, we are Bangtan we will work hard." We all said in sync while bowing 90 degrees. We took our positions to dance and sing to No More Dream. I kneeled across from Jimin almost shaking from the nervous feeling I was having. When it was my turn to be in the front and dance I winked at Coolio trying to use my charm to get him to like me so I didn't have to do push-ups like Taehyung. Coolio just nodded when we were done with our mini-performance. "You can be a lot more polished, you can always be better but you weren't bad I liked it. Now I'm going to put y'all in three groups, You, you and her, you're a group." He said while pointing at Namjoon, Taehyung, and I. I ran over to the boys as they hugged me, jumping up and down with how excited we were to be a group. He then divided the remainder of the members so Jungkook, Jimin, and Jhope were a group, and Jin and Yoongi were a group. He started giving us questions to answer which I didn't pay attention to since Namjoon was in our group he would just translate it to us later. We got the rest of the day off to figure out the answer to our question and just lounge about. Taehyung and I laid down on our bed just chatting about random topics until the topic of the future came up. "Do you think we're going to keep doing this hip-hop concept for the rest of our time being idols?" He asked while tracing the faint muscle outline on my stomach. "I don't think so, I think it's fun honestly but people are going to get tired of it and want to see different concepts from us." I explained to him. "I hope we do something different, I've always wanted to do a more serious concept, I'll be older maybe 30 and I'll be wearing a fancy suit and on stage with people singing along to my jazz music." I explained to me with stars in his eyes at his dream. "And no matter what I'll be there cheering you on." I said making eye contact with him with a smile on my face. "You looked really pretty today (N/N)" He said to me while messing with the hem of the skirt I was wearing. "Thank you, our manager said I need to change up my style to fit the concepts more and I guess I found my style in doing so." I explained to him with a smile on my face. He looked me up and down trying to make it not obvious, but failed since we were laying on our sides facing each other. "Well, I helped too you know. I bought that skirt for you on your birthday." He said pointing out the skirt I was wearing. He was right, it was one of the skirts he picked out and bought for me on my birthday. "You have some amazing style Tae, I might let you pick out all my clothes for me from now on." I said in a joking tone, but he looked at me with a serious look on his face. "Can I style you for the rest of this trip? It's only for two weeks and if you don't like an outfit I pick you can change." He said in a rushed but pleading voice. "Okay sure I don't see why not." I commented agreeing to let him style me for the next two weeks. He embraced me in a tight hug getting on top of me while planting kisses all over my face. He kept giving me sloppy but playful kisses until he stopped, his lips were hovering over mine centimeters away from each other. He quickly closed the gap between our lips passionately kissing me. This wasn't like a normal kiss, no it was full of passion and fire it felt like fireworks were going off in my stomach with the way he was kissing me. After a few seconds of kissing he got off of me giving me a final peck on the lips, "We should go to sleep since we have to complete Coolio's mission tomorrow." I nodded in agreement, the mission for tomorrow was simple but hard, we had to go to people's doors showcasing our abilities, and see who they liked the best out of the three groups. I went to our bathroom took a quick shower and got ready for bed. I quickly fell asleep almost as soon as my head hit my pillow.
