It was the eve of their trip to L.A. for the American Music Awards, and Aidee was pacing back and forth outside of the CEO's office. Her brothers were inside, talking about a subtle change of plans for their trip.

Aidee wanted to go back home.

She wanted to spend a few days with her old friends and visit places that meant a lot to her. And so, her brothers were talking with the CEO to see if they could visit for a few days. On top of the stress she was currently recieving from their reunion, the CEO had put her to perform along side BTS at the AMAs, Ellen Show and at James Corden's, and had been practicing the whole week for the events, not to mention getting her dress fitted for the red carpet.

Over the past few days, she had begun to struggle with her image, having gained a lot of weight since her parent's deaths, and it took a toll on her dress for the AMAs, getting a scold from the company nutritionist and finding out her old dresses didn't fit her anymore. "Yah, Aidee, it's gonna be fine. You look great!" Ji-soo had said, since they went together to the nutritionist with Sumin. Ji-soo and Sumin were made company trainees, PD wanting them to put an end to the "boys only" rule. Aidee was also part of this "plan", since now she performed with her brothers.

"Aidee?" A voice stopped her pacing and she looked to see Saeran, or rather, Kang Taehyun. "You okay?" He walked towards her in his cool demeanor, tilting his head to the side. She still couldn't believe he was younger than her. "Yeah, I'm just waiting for my brothers so we can leave." The silver haired boy nodded at her and stood aside her. "Sorry we didn't tell you about our real names. We kinda forgot..." "It's fine." Once she heard the office door open, she moved her head from his frame to her now exiting brothers. "So?" She asked, walking towards them. "He said we can visit for a couple of days. I told you he'd allow you," Jin smiled and hugged her. "Even if he said no, Jin would've bought you a passport either way," commented Hoseok. She smiled and hugged them all. "Bad news is that we can't all go with you," said Jimin.

"But you have nine tickets?" Aidee pointed out as Namjoon handed her the plane tickets. "Because your friends are going with you, supervised by Kookie," smiled Taehyung. Aidee stopped and smiled brightly. "You're kidding," she said, "Why won't you come, though? No offense, oppa." They all looked at each other with annoyed expressions. "Work," they all replied. "Hey, but we get to see you happy," said Hoseok, smiling and pinching her cheeks. "And you get to have fun with me," Jungkook said with a grin. After a while, they left to the apartment to rest for the trip, and Aidee texted her friends and informed them. Taehyun already knew, since he was with her at the moment, so it wasn't long until her phone blew up with them all asking questions about where they were going.

Sumin: What do I pack?!
Jisoo: ^^^ @DeeDee

Jisoo: 🤭
Sumin: Don't make me hit you, Kang Taehyun.
Aidee: Temperature. Bring sunblock, swim suit and shorts. And dress clothing for one evening.
Hyuningkai (Yoosung): Noona where are we going? The U.S.?
Aidee: You could say that, hehe
Sumin: I'm at bit scared tbh
Sumin: Dee isn't very secretive...
Aidee: Trust me!! We're gonna have fun!!

The next morning, the group woke up at around 5:00pm to catch their flight. Like the first day under their care, Seokjin made them sandwiches for the plane ride while the staff loaded all their things to the car. Aidee dressed in a yellow cropped sweatshirt and ripped jeans for their flight; nothing very uncomfortable, since it took them a long time to get to L.A. "Aidee! We're leaving!" Taehyung yelled from the entrance, waiting to close the apartment door. "Give me a minute!" She exclaimed, posing in front of her mirror and taking a picture of her outfit. She then proceeded to post it on Instagram, and within the 30 minute airport ride, it had received a huge amount of likes. Even her family had liked it!

After a while, they were seated first class on the plane, on their way to L.A. Most of the plane ride, Aidee spent it sleeping. It obviously wasn't her first time on a plane, and she had gotten used to sleeping on normal Economy seats, but First class was heaven. She played on her Nintendo with Jin, slept along side Jungkook, Taehyung took embarassing videos, and so on. At one point during their flight, they started to discuss their next album. "After Face Yourself, the next album is Love Yourself: Tear. Anyone has any more songs to put in there?" Namjoon asked. "What songs do you have now?" Aidee asked. She wanted to help with this album; it was the first official album after they had adopted her. Namjoon smiled. "We have Magic Shop, So What, 134340 aka Pluto, and Paradise." "Don't forget the beat for my intro!" Exclaimed Taehyung. "Can I hear them?" She asked. She knew Yoongi and Namjoon never traveled without their to-go music kit. In a matter of minutes, she had listened to all the songs, including the raw Fake Love. "It's missing something," Aidee said, crossing her arms and leaning back on her seat. "I say it needs a ballad," said Seokjin with a smile. "Yeah, I think so too. We didn't include any ballads in Her, either," commented Jimin, munching on a bag of chips. "I think we can work on that," said Yoongi. "Vocal line only, right?" Hoseok asked, gaining a nod from Namjoon. "Yeah because we have the Outro." Aidee crossed her legs, thinking. She looked over the small TV, and the airline was playing old anime. Anpanman was playing. For some reason, he reminded me of Hoseok. "I feel like Fake Love, for being the title track, is lacking a bit," she said, looking at the boys.

"It's too direct," she continued, "You need something a bit softer and easy to the ear, but with a lot of beats." Yoongi nodded and smiled, waiving a finger at her. "You are a true producer, shortcake." She blushed and smiled. "Not as good as you guys. By the way, the theme of the album is troubles with love, right?" They all nodded. "You don't have a song about issues with love." They all looked weirdly at her. "Some of you may get this; feeling like you're trapped in a maze without knowing your way out or knowing where the answer to your issue is. Feeling that you're in constant darkness and are constantly hitting dead-ends and gaining more confusion to the issue you're attempting to solve. Constantly running and running but no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to fix what's happening, so alot of negative outcomes arise from your attempts at mending your love back together, but it only tears you two farther apart. But even so, you keep trying, together, not alone, and overcome everything and stat together, leaving the love maze."

"Aidee," started Jungkook, "are you okay?" "No, she has a point," Yoongi said, crossing his arms and leaning back on his chair. "Although it never turned out happy for me in the end." "Duh, you're still single," commented Seokjin. "Hey, why don't you make that one, baby girl?" Asked Namjoon. Her eyes widened. "I-I mean if you- if I'm qualified- Maybe?" She babbled. They all laughed. "Sure, why not?" Said Yoongi. "As long as we finish the album by May," said Jungkook. "I think we'll finish earlier with blueberry's help," said Taehyung. And afterwards, they ate and fell fast asleep, arriving in L.A. early in the morning. "Alright," started Namjoon once they were seated inside the car, "We have practice at the Microsoft Stadium, and a photoshoot when we arrive with the AMAs merch. We'll have lunch with the other artists, most probably, and afterwards we'll head to drop off Aidee at a special interview." Everyone nodded and proceeded to stay silent during the small car ride. Once there, the AMAs staff handed them random merch and started to take photos. Soon after, a herd of ARMYs appeared.

"Oppa~!" "Jimin Oppa~!" "Namjoon~!" "Yoongi hyung~!" "TAEHYUNG yOu LoOk LiKE a sNACK!" "Jungkook Oppa~!" "I aM NOT YOUR OPPA!" "HOSEOK~! YOU'RE MY SUNSHINE~!" "Seokjin Oppa~!" "aIDEE YOU'RE SO SMOL!"

They all waved at their fans as they walked inside. "I love you, ARMY!" Aidee exclaimed, getting I love yous back. She's always wanted to say that. She headed to practice with the rest, having just to polish some moves and positions. After they were all sweaty and tired, they made their way to the main hall to eat. "I'm tired," murmured Aidee as they walked. "Drink a Monster or something. You gotta keep up, Dee," said Jungkook. Aidee nodded and took a deep breath, making it to the dining area. No one was there eating. Apparently, everyone took their food and ate at their dressing rooms, even if there were tables spread out for us. "Can we eat here? I don't want my food to get cold..." asked Seokjin, taking a plate. "Yes please," pleaded Jimin. They all agreed and stayed to eat there. Everyone that came down for food would look funny at then, being loud and laughing as they ate. Aidee shared with them things their fans do, and some of their inside jokes.

A few hours later, they went to drop off Aidee at her special interview. "Remember not to spoil Face Yourself or Tear, please," said Yoongi. "Be honest, but not too honest," commented Namjoon. "Let her be! She'll do fine," said Taehyung. She wore a Hyuna inspired outfit: a black crop top, a pair of baggy jeans, red high heeled boots and a red jacket. "I'll be okay," Aidee said, hugging her brothers goodbye. She entered the studio along side three bodyguards, walking to meet her hosts for the night. After exchanging hello's and taking pictures with them, she went into her assigned dressing room, two of her bodyguards staying outside while one of them, a Japanese man named Haru, stayed with her inside. "I'm so nervous... Omo! Do you think they hired a translator? I don't need one..." Aidee said, hands on her face while she looked at Haru. He smiled. "Miss Park, it's going to be okay. Everyone knows you can speak English." Aidee returned the smile and thanked him, before being called to begin her interview. Before setting out, she grabbed three of the water bottles that were provided for her and three apples. She gave one of each to Haru. "I don't want you going hungry," she said. On her way out, she said the same thing to her other two body guards, and left in high spirits.

Then, the interview began.

Interviewer: Alright everyone, now's the time for the person you've all been waiting for! Please put your hands together for Aidee Cordelia!

*Aidee walks in, waiving at the audience and smiling. She sits down, crossing her legs slightly.*

Aidee: Hi! I'm Aidee from BTS!

*The crowd cheered even louder.*

Interviewer: Alright, miss Aidee, we've got quite alot of questions for you today, all submitted by your fans. Shall we start?

Aidee: Of course! I'd love to answer all of them!

Interviewer: Such a cute girl! Well, the first question is: Since when exactly have you been with BTS?

Aidee: Since the ending of August, beginning of September.

Interviewer: Alright, so not much time has passed. Tell me, what's the hardest thing about living with the members?

Aidee: I think it's all of our busy schedules. I go to a special school dedicated to talented students and sometimes I have to skip class because of their schedules. They sometimes can't pick me up or can't drive me, so I end up helping them at the company.

Interviewer: What about now? Are you skipping still?

Aidee: *laughs* Yup, but I have a special permit, so I'm okay.

Interviewer: Hey, your English is pretty good. Where are you from? What languages do you speak?

*The crowd looks at Aidee intently, waiting for an answer.*

Aidee: I'm American, born in Puerto Rico. So yes, I'm Latina. *The crowd cheers loudly.* I speak English, Spanish and Korean.

*After a minute, the crowd composed itself.*

Interviewer: That makes you the first Latina Idol, no?

Aidee: Yes, but I don't think of myself as an idol just yet. I still have a lot to learn.

Interviewer: You'll attend the American Music Awards too, am I wrong?

Aidee: Yes, as a member of BTS and their sister, I will be attending the ceremony and we will be performing DNA.

Interviewer: One last question: How old are you?

Aidee: I'm newly 16.

Interviewer: Well, you're certainly young! Let's have a round of applause for Aidee of BTS!
