A World of His Own

Chapter 1

[The Truth Untold]

The light of the sun which shines through the kitchen's window starts the begining of a new day. Kim Taehyung leans his back on a kitchen counter and looks outside the window while sipping his morning hot chocolate. There are many things going through his mind at the moment, and those are the same things that kept him awake the night before.

He is anxious for today's interview.

Why should he? He has done interview so many times and always seems so comfortable in each and every one of them. So why is he nervous for this specific interview?

That is because he and the members are doing it in America, a country that he can't speak the language of. And the reason why Kim Taehyung is comfortable in most interviews is because even though he cannot speak well, he can still act weird and funny. Koreans love something like that. But for Americans, he does not even know what they love.

He takes another sip of his hot chocolate and let out a huge shigh, 'This is going to be a shitty day,' he thought.

One of the member, Jung Hoseok a.k.a J-hope has woken up. He walks to the kitchen just to find one of his dongsaengs (younger brothers) leans over one of the counters looking depressed and anxious.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he asks. "You look kind of handsome even with that depressed face." he laughs.

"Nothing hyung, I'm just wondering what I should do in today's interview."

"Well you don't have to worry much about it, Namjoon can speak English, he'll handle it." Hope says as he takes a cup and pour the hot water in to make an instant coffee.

"I know, but, I feel like I have to do something. It's scary to know you're in someone else's country and you know nothing about it, not the language, not the people, not the history, and somehow you have to please them and make them happy. Don't you feel scared? Afraid? Terrified? Anxious?"

"It's like you're going on a war, unarmed," Taehyung says as he put down his cup of hot chocolate on the dining table and walked away.

J-hope is completely stunned and speechless. They have been together for quite long and yet this is the first time he found out about Taehyung's worries. Actually, this is the first time Taehyung has ever openly talked about what bothers him.

BTS members are now gathered in the living room and preparing to leave in twenty minutes, the bus that is taking them to the radio station is arriving in twenty minutes. Kim Taehyung tries his best to stay happy, possitive and calm. He hates panicking because it will make him even more panic, more anxious and less confident. He has this thought if he is in another country, he needs to look confident, no matter what happens.

So he starts playing with Jimin and Jungkook. It is a silly game of cham cham cham. The winner will buy tonight's snack.

The hope of the group, J-hope is observing the scene. Seeing that Kim Taehyung can play happily, he thought that Taehyung has finally calmed down a little bit.

J hope smiles at the sounds of the younger boys' laughter and it is caught by Kim Namjoon who is also observing the members.

"They're cute huh," Namjoon nudges Hoseok's side as he says.

"Yeah, but that's not actually the reason why I watched over them. I am actually watching over Kim Taehyung becaused I'm quite worried," Hope says and let out a sigh.

"What do you mean, he's acting like our usual Taehyung, nothing to worry about."

"No, it's just he told me he's quite nervous for today's interview."
