10th November, 2017

BTS Dormitory, Namjoon's room

11:00 am KST

"Hyung, should I just abbreviate my name as RM for going to America?" Namjoon questioned staring blankly at Jin who looked back at him in confused awe.

"Does the name Rapmonster embarrass you?" he asked blatantly

Namjoon shook his head

"Do you think that the Americans will take this name in a playful way? Why, it's your identity, consider your decision again." Jin held Namjoon with a stoned stare.

"RM is much more convenient."

Jin blinked, "I didn't expect that reasoning."

Joonie simply shrugged and smiled. So, RM it is...

"There's been no movement yet" the spy reported, "It's surprising, no rumour attacks, fan wars or anything suspicious. Apparently, there are some issues going on with the Mnet music awards voting process but it's all plain that antis aren't involved in it. The decisions are made by the company itself."

"Alright" the head approved through the phone, "Keep your eyes open though."

-beep-

The boys were getting busy packing up for America. Their show promotions and the excitement within the fans kept on increasing. The leader held another meeting that evening and stated about the shows and events they would attend in detail. It was going to be extremely fast and gruelling, he mentioned, their performance in the AMA's was going to leave a major impact on the world.

"Take a deep breathe, and jump into it." He ended his monologue, leaving the members in varied long thought processes.

BTS shot their 'Season's greetings' video the next day that was supposed to be released on 15th November, while they went to the office one last time to meet the director.

"You guys make me proud" the man's voice jabbed in their heads, "I'll come along with P-dogg shortly after you land. We'll have an immediate meet there."

The members bowed and got up from the comfy chairs they sat in.

"Don't be nervous" Hitman bang snorted, "Always remember that you represent the entire Korea there, take pride. After all, the AMA's are gaining even more attention because you are going to perform." He chuckled and observed all the seven silent faces in front of him.

"Just focus on your core purpose of visiting America- the AMA's. Leave the rest to me."

"Oh my, my, you posted the pics on twitter!" Jhope said as he looked at Taehyung's four aesthetical photos in his phone screen and grinned, "These are beautiful"

"Haha, yes, thank you." Taehyung replied with a brief smile.

"When are these clicked? That shirt looks like the one you wore long time ago for our initial show reel posters"

"you're right, I had saved these photos for later release. I like to surprise armys, you know." Taehyung gave Hoseok a half-lid glance.

"Sure" he didn't bother, "But look at the crazy comments, boy! 'such an aesthetic', 'Taehyung, stop, I'm feeling attacked', 'You're feeding us so well', 'my eyes are blessed', 'I love you'?"

"Okay, okay, enough, I have been through them, hyung. I've been flattered enough."

"Hahahaha, you were thinner back then"

Taehyung gave Jhope a dry stare and pulled away his phone.

"I was a kid, now I'm a man"

The dormitory was filled with the staff members bustling in and out of the makeup room, transporting the luggage to the vans and tidying up the dorm before leaving.

Taehyung was apparently helping Namjoon to decide on his clothes.

"See, these are the ones that Da Reum noona and the stylists have chosen for the late show, Jimmy Kimmel, the AMA's and the Ellen DeGeneres show. I need your help for selecting my look for the airports and promos, considering your great taste in fashion."

"Hmm, let me think. 'The great glamorous Korean band stepping on the American continent and slapping up the world's attention', the leader has the spotlight here. I prefer black in situations like these. Wear something classy and tune it up with sun glasses. Oh, and carry a hand bag."

"hand bag? For what?"

"It's the special element."

"Woahhhh!" Suga glared at around a dozen of trollies in the dorm lobby loaded with humungous pale coloured suitcases.

"It's like we're almost moving in there" he said and whistled.

"Yes" It was Namjoon's voice from behind, "But we're not. Is everyone ready?" he searched through the staff and spotted Jin, Jimin and Jungkook. Taehyung had gone back to his room to recheck on some stuff.

The door was wide open and he was busy straightening his fringes with his comb. Helena knocked on the door and caught his attention.

"Is the super model done yet?"

"Almost done. You sent your luggage too, right?"

"Yes." She kept on gazing affectionately at him and her lips curved up automatically, he looked like a fine piece of sophistication. She tilted her head dreamily as she watched him.

"Don't stare at me like that" he murmured, eyes still in the mirror, "I get conscious"

"Oh, I'm sorry" she rubbed her eyes and pursed her lips, "You look spectacular."

"I always do." He smirked at her through the mirror.

"well, wear that Gucci necklace, I like it on you." She flirted, "It'll match your attire, everything you are wearing is Gucci, right?"

"Yes, everything from head to toe. Even my boxers, I don't mind showing you"

Helena's cheeks burned with heat, "What! I'm leaving, everyone is ready so come on fast, bye!" she nearly ran out of his sight, his smirk widened and he bid farewell to the mirror.

Get ready to bear the beauty of Tae, American mirrors!
