Learning about the future

Chapter 1

''Ughh, hyung! What's taking so long? If you don't hurry up they'll start eating breakfast and leave nothing left over for us,'' whined Jungkook.

''Patience Kook,'' Namjoon said. ''I'm almost done, besides, I'm sure they'll leave us enough to last on. They know today's gonna be tough.''

They had dance lessons today, and Namjoon wasn't looking forward to it. All it was was countless hours of pain and stress, like always. Namjoon (not so) secretly knew that he wasn't the best dancer. He never was. Unlike Hoseok and Jimin, he never had any interest in dance prior to joining BTS. So it was hard, but necessary to be able to follow their dreams of becoming famous one day.

'I just wish I knew what was gonna happen,' Namjoon sighed mentally. 'To know if it's worth it.'

Namjoon finished tying his shoes and stood up. ''Okay, I'm ready. Let's go.''

Namjoon grabbed Jungkook's attention by waving his hand in front of his face. He had been completely absorbed by his phone and hadn't noticed Namjoon standing up. He immediately put his phone away got off the bed.

''Yesss, let's go, I'm starving.''

They arrived in the small kitchen of the dorm that they shared with the 7 of them. The other 5 had already started eating, and were now having a small conversation.

''Ughh, I'm soooo not looking forward to the dance lessons today, I'm still sore from last time,'' whined Taehyung, with a tired look in his eyes.

The already woke Hoseok looked at him with a small sparks of laughter in his eyes. ''Don't worry Tae, I'm sure you'll be fine. Maybe you shouldn't have eaten 5 sandwiches if you knew you were gonna ache after.''

''I was hungry! Besides, I missed part of dinner last night because of that little errand I had to run for you. So technically, it's your fault I'm in pain now.''

Hoseok opens his mouth to say something, but Yoongi cuts him off. ''Can you both please shut up! It's too early for this.''

Hoseok closes his mouth and continues eating his bowl of cereal.

Only then did the rest notice the leader and the maknae coming in.

''That took you guys long enough,'' Jin exclaimed. ''Be surprised there's some food left for you guys. Taehyung finished almost all of it before I stopped him.''

''Thanks hyung, I overslept a little and Jungkook didn't wanna go down without me.'' Namjoon looked down guiltily. 'I hope we won't be late because of me,' he thought. 'Not again.'

Jin huffs and continues eating and scrolling on his phone.

It was quiet for about 10 minutes before Namjoon broke the silence.

''I gotta be honest with you guys. I know we have practiced a lot, but our debut is in two weeks and I'm really scared it's gonna turn into nothing. Then all of our hard work would've been for nothing.'' Namjoon looked down at his ham sandwich, thinking about his own words.

It was silent for a few seconds until Yoongi let out a long sigh. ''Yeah, I agree. It's hard starting something when you don't know the end results. All we gotta do it wait and see what happens. I just wish there was a way for us to find out. Unfortunately for us, that's never gonna happen.''

As if on cue, the lights in the kitchen started flickering. They all looked around for a second, thinking nothing of it.

Suddenly, a bright beam of light blinded all 7 of them, and they covered their eyes. When the light finally dimmed down, they took their hands down and looked around.

''Okay, what the hell just happened?'' Jin exclaimed. None knew the answer he got no response.

That's when Namjoon noticed the only thing that was different from 30 seconds ago. Instead of an empty table, there was now a little note lying in the middle of it. The other were still looking around in shock, not noticing Namjoon.

Namjoon read the note and got a confused look on his face. ''Ehh, guys,'' the boys focussed on their leader. ''This appeared right after the lights dimmed. It's a note, but a very weird one. Listen to this:

Dear BTS,

I fear the road you guys will be taking once you succumb to the doubts will be a dark one, so I sent this to relieve you of your concerns. With this note I bring you evidence that you don't have to wonder whether or not you'll be successful. There are 8 videos in total, one for each member and one in general. Each video will show a moment of the future that is to happen, to show you you guys are worth it. The best of luck to you.

Use this well,

Unknown.

Various noises of confusion could be heard. Taeyung, Jungkook and Jin all choked in their juice, Jimin and Hoseok were gaping, Yoongi scoffed once, and Namjoon had a far away look on his face.

After cleaning out the juice in his nose, Jungkook was the first to open his mouth.

''Huh, what does that even mean? Is it saying it has information about the future? But how? That's impossible!''

''No idea, but the only way to know is to find out,'' Namjoon said. He looked on the table and saw something that wasn't there before, a USB stick. He grabbed it and looked around. ''Anyone got a computer we can use? Mine's dead.''

They stared at him for a second before realizing what he said and got up, all looking for something to play the videos with.

Eventually Jimin managed to find his laptop and brought it to Namjoon to put the stick in the correct USB port. He clicked on the document and paused it before it could start, locking eyes with his members. They all nodded collectively and found their spots on the couch. Namjoon clicked on the play button and found a seat for himself.
