"I write my own rap then carve them in
Now that I see, I've somehow gotten to Hongdae
All of my life savings at the time all (****) the teacher."

PATH

Her whole body is shaking as she could literally hear her heart beating like crazy. It's the day where BTS finally make their debut in M-Countdown. The group will be performing We Are Bulletproof Pt 2 and No More Dream. Ryuu sat down and started to warm up her voice, trying her best to not mess up the song with a voice crack. She wouldn't have forgive herself if that happen.

"Bangtan, you're on in 5!" The PD nim said and they all bowed at him before walking and waiting right behind the stage. "Let's gather up, Bangtan." Namjoon called out as they stood in a circle. "This is our first stage and I know all of us is nervous but don't let it show, okay? Do your best and we can do this. Let's do the chant."

Namjoon held out his hand with gun fingers towards the middle of the circle and everyone did, including Ryuu. "Bangtan Bangtan! Bang! Bang! Tan!" With that she walked on stage after doing the chant. Ryuu took a deep breath as the song started. This is it.

The debut stage was a success and the senior groups were shock to see a rookie group with a strong and bold concept. Especially when it comes to the lyrics. "Good job for debuting, guys! You guys did a really great job on stage. Especially on the We Are Bulletproof Pt 2 dance break. It's amazing." Sejin said with a big fatherly smile.

It's like he have been taking care of the group since forever. "Ryuu, you did great and the rap is everything. Some other groups told me that they're amazed with you guy's performance." The girl smiled and thanked him. The praises made her feel so much better. "Jimin, the movement of your aerial jump is really impressive. Everyone is talking about it."

Jimin smiled shyly. Ryuu nudged him and smiled. "Your hard work paid off. You too, Hobi oppa." She said and hugged them both. She's feeling really happy that day since everything is going on well but something is still bothering her. There's still something sits heavy in the pit of her stomach but she doesn't know quite sure what it is. But surely enough, it's making her anxious and worried. "Ryuu? Are you listening?"

Her big beady eyes looked at Jin. The eldest member of the group smiles. "I'm sorry. I was daydreaming. Did you say something?" He pursed his lips and shook his head. "We're going out to eat bulgogi. Are you coming?" Ryuu nodded and linked her arm with Yoongi who's standing next to her that had a smile on his face. "What are we waiting for then? Let's go go!"

They arrived at the restaurant and sat down in between Jungkook and Hoseok. Suddenly, her phone rings so she excused herself to answer it and walked outside. It's her brother, Haemin. "Oppa! Why did you call?" She asked and she heard his voice over the phone with a girl. "I wanted to congratulate you for debuting. You did amazing."

A smile breaks up to her lips. "Thank you. It's all thanks to you too. You supported me when everyone looked down at me." He sighed softly. It's hard for him to see his little sister so down before that when Ryuu finally debuted, it became his biggest happiness. Ryuu thought her brother is alone but when she heard a woman's voice, a smile gets on her lips. "Who's that? Is that my future sister in law?"

Chuckles were heard. "Ryuna! Hello! I'm Saehyun! Your brother's girlfriend! I'm a big fan of you ever since your brother showed me a video of you singing and dancing. You are amazing. I hope you get far, angel. You're amazing and I'll be your biggest fan!" Ryuu didn't realize that she's smiling so hard that her cheeks starts to hurt until Taehyung suddenly appears. "There you are! Ryuu! Come on! We're all waiting for you!"

Her eyes widened in shock but she then proceeded to nod her head at him and covered the speaker on the phone. "Give me a second. I'm on a call." Taehyung hummed and gives the girl a thumb up before walking back into the restaurant. Ryuu placed the phone back next to her ear. "I need to leave now, oppa and eonnie. I'll call when I have time." They hummed in sync. "Take care and eat a lot. Don't get sick. If you're not feeling well, just give us a call, alright? Take care, Ryuna. We love you."

Saehyun agreed with Haemin as she yells I love you to Ryuu loudly through the phone before she ended the call.

When the debut performance of Bangtan finally came out on television, everyone were shock to say the least, even the staffs. Hobi's and Ryuu's solo dance were cut off completely. The sleepless nights they spent in the practice room all went to waste. After watching the video clip, her excitement immediately vanish. The hardwork she spent all these time went to waste. So this is the anxious feeling all about.

Namjoon glanced at Ryuu and Hobi in concern. Jimin tried to lift up the mood in the room. "You guys did great. We know how great you are." Hoseok faked on a smile and assure the others that he's fine but by the way his eyes are teary, they could tell it's a lie. While Ryuu just stayed in silent, looking at the television with a blank expression on.

Jimin took Hobi's hand and brought him out of the room and he glanced at Jin, giving him the indication to comfort the girl who seems like her whole world just collapsed. Jin held her shoulder before pulling her close to him and letting her use his shoulder as a place to lean on. "You did amazing, Ryuu. We are all so proud of you. Who would have expected that from such a young girl-" She suddenly burst into tears and cried out on his shoulder.

"I worked so hard for the dance. I bruised my legs multiple time and I was just lucky to not get it broken." Jin hugged her fully and gently pat her back to let her know that whatever she's feeling at the moment, she will have someone to go it through together. She's not alone. "I know. We all know. That's really messed up of them. Now, all we need to do now is work harder and show them that we are not one they should mess with. We'll make our way to the top, alright?"

He cupped her face gently as he study her face. Her eyes which are easily swollen if she just cry a bit too much, her red nose and pouty lips. "Now, stop crying. It'll be just fine. Maybe we're being looked down now but maybe in three or four years from now, we'll be in a place that no one can hurt us anymore."
