BTS American Love Story *COMPLETED*

Part 8

RapMon's POV:

"Nam Joon, what's wrong?," I hear Jungkook ask. "Um. Nothing." "It's not nothing, it deals with Claire." "What's going with Claire Nam Joon, I know you know," Suga demands. I look up and the guys are all staring at me. We're back stage now, the show starts soon. It hurt me leaving Claire alone, but I had to. I told her the directions of how to get to the venue and wrote down some words and what they mean she can use once she got here so she can actually talk to the staff. Claire leaves tomorrow, and I know none of us wants to see her leave. And I know Claire doesn't want to leave. I'm just trying to figure out how Claire can stay with us. "I'll tel you guys after the show." I start to walk away but Jimin grabs my arm to stop me. I look at him and he's just staring at me. I know he's not interested in Claire, but I think he cares about her enough to worry. "What's going on with Claire, Nam Joon." I let out a deep sigh and rub the back of my neck. "Ten minute call!," we hear someone yell and all of us let out a sigh. "At least Claire is out there, I just wish I knew what section she's in," V mumbles and pushes past us. 

The guys walks out and Jimin lets go of my arm. "Tell me, real quick, what's going on with Claire? You're the only she can fully talk to so I know she would have told you if something was wrong. And something is definitely wrong with how she was this morning." "I can't just tell you Jimin." "Oh come on." "We're running out of time. We need to get going." "We're not going anywhere you tell me what's going on." Jimin pushes me hard against the wall and glares at me. "Fine. Claire goes back home tomorrow. Happy?" I push him away and walk out. "Nam Joon!," I hear Jimin yell. "Are you serious!?," he says when he gets next to me. "Yeah." "But she can't leave yet. The guys-" "I know. They're all interested in Claire. And I know how Claire feels about leaving. She doesn't want to leave yet." "She told you?" "She said we made her trip. That she no longer felt alone once she met Suga." We get closer to the guys, they're getting the mics on. Suga, he's in his concentrated mood. The first one she met, and I have a feeling Suga is protective of Claire with how he reacted last night. And then there are the others. I have no idea what we're going to do.

Claire's POV:

I take one last look in the mirror, don't cry Claire. RapMon promised that you will see him later. I let out a sigh and run out of the bathroom, down the hall, up the stairs, and back to my seat. I'm so glad that RapMon gave me the list of words and the meanings, it was a lot easier getting here and finding my seat. I put my glasses on so I can see the guys better. Besides me going to the hospital, everything about last night was perfect. I don't want to go home...

The lights go low and everyone starts screaming. The intro starts and I just stare in awe, this is so different from the shows that I go to at home. The guys come out by the order of their age, from youngest to oldest. I can't help but scream. The first song they do is War Of Hormone and I fucking lose it. It's the first song that got me into them. I even know part of the dance. This show is amazing!!!

RapMon's POV:

I'm breathing hard, sweat is dripping off of me, I get off stage and one of the staff's hands me a towel and water. "Thank you." I gulp down the water and pat myself with the towel. My shirt is half unbuttoned, same with the guys, well except for Jimin who's now shirtless. We go into the dressing room and I hear the door slam. "Now tell us what's wrong with Claire," I hear Suga demand. I slowly turn around and the guys are staring at me, blocking the door. "Tell them Nam Joon," says Jimin. "You told him, but not us!?," V yells. Claire is probably trying to leave the venue right now. And we have to wait for a long time for us to leave. Who knows what Claire would be doing by the time we got back. "Someone get security. Now." "Why?" "Just get them!" Suga opens the door and yells for security. Security walks in, "yes?" I quickly get my phone out and pull up a picture of Claire that I got last night while we ate ramen. "This girl. I need you to find her and bring her backstage to see us. Her name is Claire Rose." "Nam Joon what are you doing?" "Why do you need Claire back here?" "We can't do that sir." "Please. Just do it. Just please bring her back here." They look at the picture one more time and leave. 

"What was that all about Nam Joon!?" "Why do you need Claire back here!?" I let out a sigh, look at them, "because Claire leaves tomorrow." "WHAT!?," they all yell in unison. "She can't leave yet!" "Why is she leaving so soon!?" "It's probably all she could afford..." "No, this is bullshit. She can't leave yet. We have to help her stay longer." "How!?" "We go back to our dorm tomorrow, how are we supposed to do this?" I think of stuff we could do. We can buy her a plane ticket, but its the part of how Claire is going to stay with us longer, that's the difficult part. "Wait! I have an idea!," I yell. I run out of the room and run right into our manager. "Nam Joon, slow down. What's wrong, and I thought you would be showering by now." "Manager, please tell me we have jobs open in our company." "Why do you want to know? Someone looking for a job?" "You can say that." "Well, I know a few positions need to be filled... I can look into it if you want." "Yes. Please do." "Okay, I will." "Thank you, thank you so much." Manager walks off and I run back to the room.

"What just happened?" "Manager is looking into jobs at the company." "You're trying to get Claire a job!?" "How else is she supposed to stay here and be near us!?" "Where will she live!?" "We don't even know what her school life is back at home!" "It's late May, maybe she's out of school now." "Nam Joon, you better hope this goes well," Suga says sternly. "RapMon?" We all stop and slowly turn to see Claire standing in the door way with two security guards. She looks so confused. "Why am I back here? They told me to come back here with them." I smile at her, walk over to her and hug her. She laughs, "RapMon you're all sweaty," which causes me to laugh. "If you get to hug Claire, so do we," J-Hope protests. "Lets do a group hug!," V yells. We pull Claire in, circle around her, and do a group hug, causing her to squeal and laugh. "Guys! You're all sweaty!" We all laugh and slowly pull away. "Why am I back here?" "I knew we wouldn't be leaving for a while, and we didn't know what you would be doing by the time we got back." "Honestly, I would probably be sleeping..." 

"Why would you be sleeping?," Jin asks. She looks down, maybe her flight is early. "Well... Um..." "You can tell us Claire." "It's just that... I... I leave tomorrow... I.. I really wish you guys didn't bring me back here..." She pushes past Jimin and Jin to leave. Suga quickly goes after and grabs her arm. "Claire don't do this." "I wanted to leave with the happy memory of the show. And go to sleep thinking about that before I leave tomorrow. And now you guys are forcing me to say goodbye and be sad." Claire kept her head turned away from us, but I could hear that she was trying not to cry. "Claire, we're trying to find a way for yo to stay." "Why would you do that?" "Because we hate to see you leave. And we know you don't want to leave yet." "And what's your plan Suga? Huh?" "We're trying to get you a job at the company." She quickly turns around and stares at us shocked. "Why the fuck would you do that!?" "Because it's the only thing we could think of." "Where will I even stay!? What would I do!? I have school in the fall guys! I eventually have to leave!" 

"Wait. You just said you have school in the fall." "Yeah, and?" "So you're free this summer." "Well, um, yeah. But I still have work at home." "Could you contact your work and tell them what's going on?" "I-I don't know how my boss will react." "What if our manager contacts them for you?" "Well I mean yeah.." "So what's the problem?" "Well its just. Its just that. This is crazy! Why do you want me to stay so badly! What's your guy's reason!?" The guys go quiet, there was no way they were all about to admit they're interested in her. I step forward and touch her shoulder. "It's because we want to help you have the best time you can have here. We know you don't want to leave yet." And we don't want you to leave either.
