American Hustle life

Bang PD came into the room when they were in the middle of practice. As soon as he entered, all of them bowed, showing their respect to him. Bang PD wasn't a genius or anything. He just saw talent and potential in people. He had a keen eye. But that wasn't why the boys respected him so much. This man was kind and humble but he also knew what he was doing. 

"How are you all?" Bang PD asked, he didn't want to send anyone away if they were feeling sick or something worse. 

"We're all good, a little tired is all." Namjoon responded specking for everyone. The rest just stood their smiling at Bang PD. He of course smiled back before getting to business. 

He put his hands to his hips. "I told you guys that I'd try my best to make you guys successful." everyone nodded, they all knew that everyone was trying their best. "I told you guys that you have full control of your music and that we wouldn't touch it. That is because I trust you guys." He paused. Looking at each one of them. "This is why I trust you guys to go to America for a Well, reality tv show called American Hustle Life...You guys are going to America." He explained. 

The boys stood their wide eyed and silent. They were speechless, it was all of their dreams to go to America and they were finally going. Namjoon was the first to respond, he bowed, the rest of BTS following their leader. 

"Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity! Thank you, we'll do our best to make you proud." 

"Oh, I don't doubt that." Bang PD replied, a smile forming in his face. "You will be leaving in four days so get packing. I'll send you all the needed details." Everyone nodded and bowed as he left the room. 

"Whoa, are we really going to America? Hyung! We're going to America!" Taehyung started running around. He was getting an energy boost from that boost. 

Jimin and Hobi were jumping up and down holding hands as they did. They were beyond excited, they were over the moon.

~~~~~~~~~~

The night before, Hobi, Jin and Dawa went to do some last minute shopping at the nearest convenience store. They just went to get some snacks and other necessities. 

"Hyung, we got the chips that Jungkook wanted right?" Jin nodded, Hobi had been going through the list as they walked back in the dark. The streets weren't completely empty but some couple here and there. Some elderly going for an evening walk. Some adults going home after a long day of work. 

As the two were two busy going down the list Dawa looked ahead to see and old women crossing the street. He looked to his left to see a car speeding by, his stomach churned as he got a wave of deja vu. He could feel the haedache coming on, but his legs moved before he could gather his thoughts. Jin and Hobi's voice were just a distant sound now. All he could hear was the car motor cranked up and rumbling. All he could her was the blood rushing through his body to his heart, the heart beat pumping and pulsing. 

He reached his hand out and pushed the elderly women out of the way causing him to fall and roll out of the way just in time. 

"A-are you okay mame?" Dawa croaked out. He felt as if he could vomit a week's worth of meals. He wanted to be home in the safety of his band. 

"How rude! You youngters nowadays just push blind people out of the way!" 

"I-I'm sorry..." 

"You should be! I have never met anyone as rude as you!" 

"Dawa! Are you okay?" Jin and Hobi finally caught up to him. They listened as the women scolded him, wanting to explain what really had happened. But they could see that Dawa's face was as pale a the moon, he looked as if he was about to drop due to the lack of balance. 

"He's really sorry, but we must go now. We hope you get home safely." Jin bid farewell as Hobi put Dawa's arms around him to give him more support. Jin was doing everything to keep the urge to scold Dawa in as he knew what that did to him.

Hobi was not too pleased either. He just witnessed his friend almost die. 

~~~~~~~~~

When they entered their dorms, they right away went straight to Dawa's bed and tucked him in. Jungkook was in his bed, packing some more white t-shirts and watched as the two of them walked out of the room and followed after them. 

"What happened?" Yoongu asked, he had a notebook in his hand no doubt writing some lyrics. 

"He saved an old blind women from getting hit by car by scarificing himself." Hobi huffed out angrily. "He was this close to getting into a car accident!" Hobi pinched his fingers together. They were touching. 

"I swear if he didn't have such a trumatic experience I would have scolded him! You should have seen how close he was, he could have died and he didn't have a care in the world about if he died or not!" Jin went on. "How stupid can a person be!" 

Jungkook slowly walked in the room. "Dawa hyung almost died?"

Jin whipped his head back to see the maknae's doe eyes in tears. "No kookie, he's fine, I just- we were just exaggerating. He's just tired is all." Jin quickly covered up. He handed him his chips and the boy slowly walked back to their shared room. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jungkook that night tossed and turned. Dawa's story still made him upset. He had never lost anyone so close to him, not like that. He feared that that day would come soon. He feared that the one he'd lose was Dawa. And what he heard today confirmed his fear. To him, it didn't matter if Dawa was okay now, Jungkook could not bear the idea of losing Dawa like that. He feared that Dawa would make a similar mistake, one that might not end to fortunately. 

He slowly got down from his bed and crawled into Dawa's. Snuggling in close to him. He cried, his tears staining Dawa's brown shirt. "You don't have permission to leave this life until I say so!"

"Is that so?" Dawa wrapped his arm around the youngest. He was a light sleeper. "I won't leave then. It's a promise." Dawa whispered in the dark. He hated that he made Jungkook cry again, Jungkook who reminded him of his sister, whom he thought of as his little brother. He wanted to punish himself for hurting him and making Jungkook believe that he would die soon. For giving Jungkook a fear.  

"Kook, go to sleep now, we have a long day tomorrow." 

"kay..."
