Jimin's POV

"Ahh, hello New York." Rapmon hyung said after letting out a contented sigh.

"Let's go to our hotel and get some sleep before rehearsal." Suga hyung uttered as we snickered. Typical Yoongi.

We finally arrived at New York after that darned 15-hour plane ride. My ears hurt and I am desperately trying my best to get rid of this unwanted jetlag.

But to be honest, I'm excited to stay here. After New York, we return to Korea so our schedule isn't really rushed here.

Our manager said we can have fun because we're staying for 3 weeks. Well, 2, if you remove our schedule.

"What do you plan on doing while we're here?" Taehyung asked all of us.

"I'm gonna have a food trip and update my EatJin viewers on what's good here." Jin hyung said looking eager to try everything and anything here.

"I'm gonna find my inspiration for our next song." Rapmon hyung softly stated. "Wanna come with me Yoongi?"

"Namjoon-ah, I'm gonna find my inspiration in my dreams as I sleep." Suga hyung said as he smiled, making all of us stare at him blankly. "What?"

"Let's find our inspirations for dance moves then." Hoseok hyung looked at Jungkook and I, waiting for our approval.

"Sure, but let's find some time to just rest like Suga hyung." Jungkookie said. "Yup." I soon said in agreement.

"Hey, the bed is mine!" Suga hyung said making all of us crack up, leaving him pouting like a baby. Ahh, Suga hyung.

"Hey guys, the van's here. Let's check in at the hotel." our manager said. Yes! We finally get to rest.

"They're here! Bangtan is here!"

I guess not.

Ariana's POV

It's a Sunday so there's no work today.
Hooray for Rest Day!

Ana's making pancakes because she just woke up. I'm busy scrolling through our Twitter feed.

"Ana! Where's the maple syrup?" she yelled from the kitchen, loud enough for me to hear.

"It's inside the refrigerator!" I yelled back at the same volume so she can hear me.

I laughed because she's probably still half asleep. I guess the café was packed yesterday.

Hey, I'm the one who's supposed to be tired. I mean, I handle kids. Kids. They're like tiny-- nevermind.

Anyway, after shaking my head at her 'it's morning and I don't know where I am, someone get me a banana' state, my eyes caught the tweets.

@/BangtanFan101: BTS just arrived at JFK International Airport, New York City.

@/SocksAndJeans: BTS arriving at JFK International Airport in New York City. Spread the word, ARMYs!

@/allkpop: BTS showcase an exquisite style for their airport fashion as they arrived at the John F. Kennedy International Airport located at New York City a few minutes ago.

What?

"Ana, get your ass up here! Take a shower and dress up!" I yelled more than loudly with a hurried tone.

"What's all the fuss about in the morning?" she asked, seeming a little irritated that I disturbed her breakfast.

"Bangtan. Airport. Now." I said I looked at her straight in the eyes.

That was all it took for both Ana and I to rush to the bathroom, get dressed and call a cab.

After 5 minutes...

"Um, Mr. Driver, can't you please go any faster?" I said hurriedly. I hope I didn't sound rude, I'm just really nervous because I just got news that Bangtan arrived at the airport! I know we'll get to see them at the fanmeeting but I just can't wait!

"Chill, Ana. Don't worry, we'll get to see them." Ana said with a reassuring smile, attempting to put me at ease. Well, she sure is awake now.

And right before I knew it, we have arrived after 2 minutes.

Okay.
One word.
Pitiful.

Bangtan was swarmed with fans. Some got through security and apparently, some were wrestling the security team. Wow, they seemed like predators eager to eat their prey.

"Hey, stop it! Everyone, stop it!" Ana yelled. My jaw dropped, scared for my friend. Those fans seemed like sasaengs, I was afraid of them doing anything to my bestfriend just because she butt in--

"Who are you to tell us to stop?" one person in the crowd yelled back, louder and more powerfully.

I looked at Ana and did this weird thing with my face wherein I was demonstrating my 'run after I count to three' look. But she responded with her 'no way, I ain't scared' look.

Truthfully, I've never seen Ana this brave. I bet she's scared on the inside.

Analisse' POV

I'm scared to death right now. There are probably hundreds of them staring at me waiting for answer.

Okay, Ana. All you have to do is make sense and you'll be alright.

"I'm Ana Valdez." I said after swallowing a big lump in my throat.
"This is a form of harassment. Don't you think invading their privacy is too much? And to think you guys are fans. Don't you have any conscience?"

"And to hurt those security guards, that's just cruel. If you really love Bangtan, you would have shown some respect." Ana continued, backing me up.

We smiled thinking we did good, well, until they started speed walking in our direction.

Ana and I closed our eyes, fingers locked, ready to be attacked. I even heard her praying. Oh Lord, Please protect us.

Ariana's POV

I prayed immediately, shutting my eyes tightly after seeing those girls approach us.

But to our surprise, they hugged us and afterwards apologized to both Bangtan and their security team.

Okay, we did good.

I then looked at Bangtan who were now making their way calmly towards their van.

I stared dreamily at Jungkook's retreating figure, mesmerized merely by his back view.

I hope they noticed us. I hope he noticed me.

Jimin's POV

"That was really cool of them to save us!" Taehyung said relieved.

"I know, they were amazing! Did you guys get a name?" Rapmon hyung asked.

"Ana. Ana Valdez." I said as a sudden smile formed on my lips.
