Pandemic Uprising

Chapter 2: Meeting BTS

To make it easier, I am going to have the group always speak Korean unless I indicate in bold. School is getting busy, so if I go more than a week without updating, that is why. Ok, let's get into, shall we?

I got off the bus stop and ran to my house. I burst into the door. "Oppa, Eomma, guess what?"

     "Heavens, that is is some you scared us," my dad said.

     "My group did a performance today, and the CEO of Big Hit Entertainment was there. After we were done, we were asked if we wanted to join! We said yes, and I leave for Korea tomorrow morning."

     "That is awesome, Jay-Kobe. we are so proud of you! We got a stake at the store today. Let's cook it and celebrate." my mom said.

We talked and drank talking about my group becoming huge and the future. I do not know how the Kpop world will react. Most groups had to become trainees, and if they were lucky, they would debut. We got asked by the CEO directly, which has never happened before. Are we going to be able to live up to BTS and TxT? I try not to overthink things, but as the saying goes, old habits die hard.

     "Hey, son," my dad says, breaking me out of my daze.

     "Yea, dad?"

     "Stop overthinking things. You will be fine. We will try to come and see you at a concert if we can."

I thank them for the meal and tell them goodnight. I did not know what to pack, so I decided to pack a couple of pares gray shirts and jeans. I place my phone on my nightstand and head to bed. Hours later, my phone goes off. I looked at the time and it was three-thirty in the morning, I picked up the phone to see who it was. "Hello," I say in a tired voice.

     "Hey, it's Damian. We are outside your house with the van waiting for you. Get ready and get down here before we debut as a four-member group instead of five."

     "You guys would not survive without me. I do have the highest vocal range, after all. I will be right down." I get out of bed and get dressed and grab my Tokyo Ghoul face mask from my desk. I walk into my parent's room and tell them I am leaving now. After walking downstairs and getting a drink, I walk outside. The sky was still black, and the wind was chilly. I walked into the van, and the guys greeted me.

     "Good morning, Jay," Angel says.

I simply groan as I buckle my seatbelt. I was never a morning person sleeping till twelve. After what seemed like a second or to I wake up to us arriving at the airport. We get our bags and walk in to get our tickets.

     "Now that we have everything, how about we get some food and wait by our gate," Joseph suggested.

     "Sure, why not. I think there is a Wendy's near our gate." I said. They look confused, and Damien wanted to know.

     "That was oddly specific. How do you know?"

     "I took that travel class first semester, and we had to tour different airports in the state. It was stupid, but an easy A." We go get our food and eat.

     "Do you guys think we will be able to live up to the standards in Korea," Jordan asked with doubt in his voice?

     "All we have to do is stay out of trouble and focus on making music. They will love us. Do not overthink it, ok?" I give him a smile, and he nods. This is what we have worked for, and having doubts is not something they should be thinking about.

     "Flight 747 from Virginia to South Korea now boarding,"

I look at my bandmates, "Come on guys, let's go hake some history."
