The Truth Untold

An emotionally exhausting day

"Y-your daughter?" Namjoon stutters, guilt flooding his face.

"Yes, i had hoped to make this introduction slower. Her mother passed away, which leads to her coming here to live with me. Being who i am, i didn't want her to deal with press and everything that comes with owning this company. So i kept her and her mother away from it when the business got as big as it did. Ah, personal reasons i thought it was best to have her grow up in America. I regret that, deeply"

"I-i'm so sorry.. it's just fans try to get in here all the time.. i-" Namjoon looks at you with regret.

"You were being a good leader. It's okay, Namjoon. Can i get back to dancing?" You really need to get in check of your emotions  and fast because it's starting to feel like a rollercoaster.

Bang laughs, pulling you into a hug before walking with the boys towards the door. Tae reluctantly lets go of your wrist.

"Can't we practice in here with her?" Tae asks hopefully.

"Do you really think you'd focus with her dancing beside you? Did you not see poor Namjoon when we entered?" Jin laughs, pulling Tae along and out of the door but not before shooting you an apologetic look.

--

You spend the next 4 hours dancing until you are thoroughly exhausted and worn out. You put your hair back up in a messy bun and walk out to find some water.

You pass by practice room B and can't stop yourself from peaking inside.

You see the boys in formation, dancing the Black Swan choreography.

You can't help yourself, you clap really loud. It's surreal seeing it in person. They turn towards you and smile.

"I didn't know we had an audience"  Jimin breathes out trying to catch his breath.

"It's only fair since you watched me dance" you smirk, seeing Namjoon flush.

"Did you eat yet, Y/N?" Tae runs over to you, grabbing your wrist and pulling you over.

You shake your head, your skipping lunch reminding you by your stomach growling- loudly.

"We have food coming, you can eat some of ours. We always order extra because of Jungkookie" Jin laughs, pulling you towards the now waiting food.

They all move it so they can sit in a circle around the food, you sitting between Tae and Jin.

"So, Y/N. How are you liking Korea?"  Namjoon asks you in English.

The other members continue eating, occasionally giving you pieces of their food to try.

"I haven't seen much other than here and Bang-ssi's house, but everyone is so nice. I like it here" you smile at Namjoons effort to make you feel more welcome.

"Yah~ don't show off just because you know more English than we do" Jin waves his chopsticks at Namjoon, making the others laugh.

Jin winks at you before sharing his noodles with you. You smile, bowing respectfully at his kindness.

"Don't be so formal, we're friends now" he winks at you before digging in again. "Besides, i sort of mean it as a peace offering for being rude earlier"

"Don't worry about it, we all kind of got emotional. Me more than anything." You smile even though your face looks guilty.

You spend the next hour talking and eating, getting to know each of them.  You can hardly believe your eyes at how welcoming they are. You always knew they were food people but seeing it first hand is surreal.

"So what is the first song you heard from us, one that made you become a fan?" Yoongi speaks up, being the first one finished eating.

"I first heard No More Dream, but i wasn't really a full fan until i heard 2nd Grade"

Yoongi perks up, hearing one of the songs he helped write.

"2nd grade? Aish.. we were babies then" Jin speaks up, having finished now.

"Except you, old man. Always old" Jungkook speaks up between bites.

"Yah~ i like being old" Jin retorts, making you giggle.

"Do you have a favorite song?" Tae asks beside you, drawing your attention from the two bickering members.

"The Truth Untold. It was my Eommas.." you bite your lip, before continuing. "It's also how i first started learning Korean, actually"

"We can sing it for you if you want?" Tae offers, looking around to see nods from the other guys.

"Really? Thank you" you smile, crossing your legs so you can listen well. You realize this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Tae starts the song and you watch each of them sing. They are truly beautiful when they sing. The ones who don't sing help out with background noise, swaying their chopsticks as if they were mini army bombs.

You feel tears slide down your cheeks, wishing your Eomma could be here to experience this. Mayne the tears are a little biased because their voices are just that beautiful.

You smile wide as the song comes to an end, clapping and cheering.

"Thanks you guys. That was.. something else. I don't think words can describe it. I mean.. BTS was serenading me.." you sound a little awed making everyone laugh. Jin wipes away your tears with a smile.

"We always appreciate our fans, especially ones so nice despite how rude some of us were" Tae offers, smiling a boxy smile at you.

Suddenly the boys manager appears in the room.

"Looks like Bang is giving you all the night off, considering the special circumstances"

They all cheer, rising to their feet.

"What about tomorrow?" Namjoon speaks up, being the last one to rise.

"Photoshoot is as scheduled as well as the other stuff. Enjoy your night. Show y/n how hospitable BTS can be"

You then feel yourself being pulled out of the building by Tae, and straight for their van.

They all climb inside, leaving one empty spot between Yoongi and Hoseok.

You climb inside, settling between both of them. You blush when you feel Yoongis fingers brush against your stomach as you settle in the seat.

He pulls something out of his pocket and hands it to you. Your phone. In Tae's hurry to pull you along you completely forgot to grab it.

"The staff said it was left in your rehearsal room" he mumbles, brushing his fingers against yours when you go to take it back.

You shiver, making him look at you with a gaze you can't quite read.

"Sorry" he mumbles, pulling his hood up more to hide his sudden shyness.

Tae pops his head over the seat so he can talk to you the whole ride home.

Who would have ever thought this would be your life?

Or that Tae would as it seems so far, become your first actual friend in Korea?

You and Tae talk the whole ride home and you learn a lot about him in the short van ride.

Even if you knew about him already, being a fan and all, you just like listening to him talk so you let him tell you all about random things in his life.

The ride ends with him showing you the hundreds of pictures of his dog.
