American Hustle Life pt. 2

By now, the boys had successfully landed on American soil. When the plain landed, Hobi had to wake Dawa up, so he was currently still half asleep, waiting for whoever to pick them up. It did not occur to him that he would be in a car, he was practically sleep walking. His mind felt like a muddy swamp and the crowd of people that were holding signs and names up weren't helping the Namjoon find the person who supposed to pick them up. 

"Hyung, over there!" taehyung pointed out  man holding up a sign that read BTS in large bold letters. 

Hobi carefully guided Dawa to the man. 

"Hi. Welcome to LA, I'm Steve. It's nice to see y'll." The man in the balck t-shirt greeted. He was wearing sunglasses and took them off out of respect. Namjoon quickly translated and then introduced himself. He looked at the members, prompting them to introduce themselves to Steve. 

"Hi! I'm V." Taehyung greeted. He smiled, earning a laugh from Steve. 

"I'm Suga." 

"Hi! I'm Jimin. Nice to meet you." 

"I'm Jungkook."

"Hi! I'm J-Hope."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Jin."  

Everyone looked at Dawa expectantly who had his eyes closed. Hobi tapped him a little which caused Dawa to open his eyes. 

"I'm Zero." Dawa mumbled using his stage name.

~~~~~~~~~

It was pretty dark out, the boys were still in the car. They were tired and jetlagged but excitement caused them to stay awake. 

The car slowed to a stop. Steve turned around, facing the members. His dark skin appeared to be even darker in the night. 

"I'll be right back. I'm going to run in there to get something." 

Namjoon nodded and explained to the others. He was glad that he wasn't the only person in the group to know English. Dawa technically spoke proper English since he is English. As Namjoon's thoughts went to Dawa, he turned his head to the left, leaning slihtly forward. 

"Is Dawa still sleeping?" He asked Hobi who was sitting right next to him. 

"Yeah, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing..." Hobi stated honestly. On one hand Dawa might get carsick if he woke up and on the other hand, he slept most of the plane ride and id still sleeping which might mean that he won't sleep tonight. 

Namjoon was about to respond but then a thud was heard. Someone banged on their car. The driver's side of the door and passanger seat door both opened. Hobi leaned into Namjoon, not sure what was going on. The rest of them looked around in confusion. These strangers were saying something but they couldn't understand. All they knew was that these people were not supposed to be in this car. 

"Wake him up!" One of them yelled, while the other started the car engine. Namjoon assured to Hobi that everything was going to be okay as he was absolutely terrified. "Hobi hyung, can you wake Dawa up. They want him awake." Hobi nodded, his hands shaking. 

"Everyone just do as they say and we won't get hurt-"

"Quiet! No talking!" The man driving yelled. Everyone flinched. Taehyung and Jimin's hands were tightly intertwined. Both sweaty from fear. Yoongi and Jin were also in the back, they both understood what Namjoon meant but they didn't understand how that would get them out of this situation. 

Dawa finally stirred up. He looked around, everyone seemed to holding their breath. 

"Sorry to bother you but are we close to our destination. I desperately need to go to the loo." Dawa spoke. Someone let out a high pitched squeak but Dawa ignored. The two drivers were shocked, they weren't expecting another person who could speak english but they quickly covered it up. 

"Yeah! Now be quiet!" They shouted. 

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

"Get out, quick! Move move!" They basically screamed into their faces and shoved them inside some building. Another man was already inside. 

"Sit down!" He yelled. Namjoon motioned for them to sit but it took a while for everyone to get the message. And it wasn't helping that the man was yelling at Jin. "I said sit!" 

All of the kidnappers were now in the room. Dawa still didn't really understand what was going on. 

"I still need to go to the loo-"

"Be quiet!" 

Dawa shut up right away. He understood fear when he saw it. The members were scared. WHatever was going on, he didn't want to make things worse.

"Take off your shoes!" 

"He said to take off our shoes." Dawa translated this time. Everyone did as they were told. 

"Take off your socks! Tell them to take off their socks!" 

"Your socks..." Dawa removed them, everyone following suit. They just sat in silance just looking at their kidnappers. They didn't say anything back. Out of the corner if his eyes he saw Jimin shivering and Jungkook was crying, biting his lips. Dawa could tell that he was trying to from crying out loud. 

After a while they just left. Without a word. The kidnappers left. 

"They're gone...do you think they'll be back?" 

Namjoon shook his head. Dawa had rushed off to the bathroom and then got back. "They have bunk beds here." He said, his eyes were starting to droop. Everyone else was ready for bed after what just happened. They were jet lagged, confused and scared to their bones. But their were beds, eight beds, one for each of them. SO they crawled in, bid each other goodnight and fell into deep sleep.
