Flinch

^^ Jae's outfit + the video of BTS on The Late Late Show With James Corden. This chapter will kind of be the same as that. The dialogue will be pretty much the same except for Jae's dialogue, which is added, and the groups in which the game is played.

I dance along to the music with the boys as the cameras started rolling again. The ARMYs in the audience cheer and scream as we do.

"Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen!" James says to the camera. "I'm joined by Jin, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin, V, Nova, Jungkook, and RM; known together as BTS!" The ARMYs cheer and scream again. I wave and bring two hands to my mouth and blow a kiss; I make a finger heart and mouth "I love you."

"Now take one look at my guests," says James, "and you know that they are cool on the surface, but we are gonna test their steely nerves in a game that we call 'Flinch!'"

As the ARMYs cheered, I can barely hear Namjoon mutter, "Oh, my God."

"Okay, now guys," James says to the boys and me. "The game is simple: if you look over here, there is a screen, you will see my face." We all look to where James gestures, and sure enough, there is a picture of his face. "And my face," he continues, "will be spitting various forms of fruits and vegetables."

"Oh, no," I laugh. The audience and even some of the crew members laugh too.

"Your job," James says to us, "is to stand behind that glass, and when my face spits the produce, you do not flinch. Okay?" I nod. "So, first up, we've got Jin and J-Hope!"

I start clapping. The two still seem a little lost and James gestures for them to stand behind the glass. "C'mon, J-Hope!" Jin says. They bro-hug before dancing their way over to the glass.

"I gotta say, James," Namjoon addresses.

"Go on," responds James as stuffs some produce into the machine with a stick.

"I mean, they are"—he gestures to Seokjin and Hobi—"they are the heroes, so you got to expect that reaction from them." A few whoops are heard from the crowd.

"You think that they'll be cool behind there?" asked James. "You think they'll be cool? You think they'll flinch?"

"Well, I don't know," I say, leaning on Namjoon and wrapping my arms around him just to mess with the fans. "They're getting pretty cocky right now. I mean, they're the most coward of our group, so..." I shrug. ARMY laughs and cheers.

"Come on, come on," Seokjin beckons. "Yeah, I'm not afraid, you know!" He makes an "I got my eye on you" gesture while Hobi remains his regular smiley self.

We all laugh. Then suddenly...

BANG!

I nearly jump out of my pants. I didn't expect that to be so loud. But the reactions from Hobi and Seokjin are worth it. While Jin jumped back in surprise and shakily put his arms protectively in front of his face, Hobi literally fell onto his butt.

I let go of Namjoon and fold over on myself, laughing hysterically. Hoseok and Seokjin walk back to the group, laughing too. "Let's have a look at the replay!" exclaims James. He points to a TV screen. It shows the boys from who different angles, and the replay is in slow motion, which makes is all the more funnier. Everything is more entertaining in slow motion.

I wheeze. "Oh, my God, Hobi! Your face!" I cackle.

"I think that is the best flinch we've ever had!" James beams. "Okay, next up: Jungkook and V, it is now your turn. The ARMYs scream in excitement while Tae and Kookie calmly walk behind the glass.

"Okay, now do we think that Jungkook and V, do you think their cooler? Do you think they're likely to flinch?" James asks us.

"I think they're okay," says Namjoon.
