Kim Na-Ri, a half Korean girl living in Seoul.
BTS, the most famous k-pop group under the sun.
She's looking for a new life.
They are looking for an escape...
Maybe they can help each other.
Maybe, just maybe, she can be Bangtan's Release...
...
The day after SNL, the boys were busy with radio interviews and other events of all sorts. Trips abroad like this were always tiring because they had to keep to time, down to the second.

Although there was buffer time in the schedule to allow for unexpected occurrences, it was always tight, but thanks to an efficient team, things ran smoothly most of the time.
The day has gone by so fast; it was already 3 pm. They all sat down to have a quick bite in one of the rooms allocated to them at the radio station.
Taehyung: "Na-Ri, wanna have dinner with us tonight?"
Na-Ri: "That would have been nice, but I've got plans for tonight"
Yoongi: "You've got plans? Where are you going?"
Na-Ri: "Lisa and Jennie invited me to a house party downtown."
Hoseok: "Are they in New York right now?"
Na-Ri: "Yes, they wanted a little break after their comeback. Jisoo and Rosé stayed back home, and Lisa and Jennie are here for a few days."
Jin: "Ah that's nice; you definitely deserve to have some fun, but not too much!"
Na-Ri: "Yes I know, I know, Manager Sejin already told me and gave me a 1 am curfew," she said rolling her eyes at Jin.
Namjoon: "Do you need the driver to take you there? We could ask one of them if you want" he asked, wanting her to be taken care of.
Na-Ri: "No that's fine; I'll take a taxi; that's the perks of being a nobody," she said with a large grin. "Anyway, I have to go back to the hotel to freshen up before meeting the girls at 6 pm. See you later, guys!"
As she was about to walk away, Jungkook called out to her:
"Noona, wait! I think I'll go back to the hotel with you since we're done for today anyway, if that's ok with you, of course," the end of his sentence coming out quieter.
The boys looked at each other and exchanged smirks and knowing looks.
"Is our Kookie trying to get some?" teased Yoongi.
Yoongi was not a bad guy, but sometimes he'd be better off taking a nap for the sake of everyone else.
The poor boy's face turned red instantly at his hyung's words. Once a maknae, always a maknae. He just couldn't get away from it. His hyungs loved him unconditionally, but they were teasing him to no ends when it came to the opposite gender.
Na-Ri knew that, so she set out to turn the situation around.
She walked back toward Yoongi, but what she was about to say was for all of them:
"Kookie can definitely get some... if he wants some," she said, diverting her gaze from the boys to Jungkook. The boys were speechless.
"Let's go Kookie..." she said, hooking her arm to his.
And off they went.
Since Jungkook was coming with her, they had one of the drivers take them to the hotel. They sat at the very back of the Hyundai 7-seater, seating next to each other. A few minutes into the drive, Jungkook started to fidget into his seat. He looked like he wanted to ask something but couldn't find the words, stealing glances at Na-Ri. Giving up on trying to form words to convey his thoughts, he stared out of the window.
Na-Ri noticed his discomfort.
"What is it Jungkook?" she asked in a soft voice.
"Noona... can I hold your hand?"
