"Jungkook, what does LA smell like?" I turn to him with a bright smile. He's the only one out of all of us who's been to the states. I remember he came here last year for training because I was so sad to be separated from him.

"How am I even supposed to answer that question?" He laughs while grabbing my luggage from the overhead storage.

"I don't know~" I sing song, following Jimin to the front of the airplane.

"I bet it smells like LA," he says with a smirk on his face.

"Do you think?" I reply sarcastically, hitting the  visor of his baseball cap to knock it off.

"Yah!"

"Sorry my hand slipped," I giggle, passing him to finally step into the LA air.

"Thank you for riding with Jet Blue," A flight attendant smiles kindly at me, I bowing in thanks before being greeting by a warm glow.

Unfortunately we missed almost the whole day, but at least we got here in time to see that sunset! The colors are so vivid, nothing like anything I've seen in my lifetime. If I could, I'd write-

Suddenly someone hits me from behind.I turn around only to see a stranger. I mumble a quick "sorry" under my breath, too preoccupied with trying to find the boys. It seems that I managed to wander off while getting lost in the sunset.

The crowd of people getting off the plane force me forward, not giving me enough time to find them. I should be fine right? I mean they've got to catch up with me at some point. I can't be reliant on them for everything.

"Excuse me? Miss, you need to go this way," a tall, rather scary man if I do say so myself, tells me. Or at least I think he's telling me something...

"Sorry I don't speak Engrish," I smile politely, going on my way only to have him yell.

"Foreigners must go through TSA thoroughly!"

I blink a few times at him, trying to put together 2 + 2 but somehow getting 6.

"Engrish... hard... no speakeu," I fumble with my words this time because he tall stature is terrifying.

"She wis me," a familiar voice sends relief over me as Yoongi grabs my hand, "why'd you wander off?"

I can tell that he's being stern in trying to scold me but he's also excited to be here. Therefore I don't have to deal with a grumpy Yoongi after this. Thank the heavens!

"Sorry I got caught up in that sunset," I sigh, still holding onto his pinky as we look out the window.

^ AUTHORS NOTE: IM SOFT Hehehe this is actually Jimin and Yoongi from their Love Yourself V live... pretend it's RaeJae and Yoongs tho ((:

"It is pretty amazing..." he trails off.

"RAIN! Come here!"

I look around to find V rapidly motioning me over. I take one step forward, letting go of Yoongi's pinky finger but he immediately stops me. With furrowed eyebrows I turn to him in place of a question.

"LA can be dangerous so stay with me until we get to our hotel," He tells me in all seriousness. Since he's being sincere I take hold of his pinky again and we both make our way over to V. However, how dangerous can LA be? I thought America was safe.

"LOOK! They have CHURROS in the AIRPORT!" Tae happily dances on his feet while making sure I can see the stand.

"What's a churro?" I tilt my head and his jaw drops to the floor.

"WHAT. IS. A. CHURRO?" Namjoon gasps after overhearing the conversation. He starts to let out exasperated laughs while Yoongi breaks into a bit of a chuckle too.

"They're only the best thing in the world, your not missing out on much," Jungkook suddenly adds sarcastically. I guess I found the rest of the boys.

"What are they made of?" I ask, none of the boys answering since they are caught up in the fact that I asked what they were.

"Dough and usually they have cinnamon and sugar on them," Jimin finally helps me out, "I'll buy you one when we get through TSA,"

Finally after about 2 hours of getting our luggage and belongings patted down over repeatedly we make it to the churro stand. Of course the sun has completely set and there is now zero light outside what-so-ever. Thank god we are here for a long time so I can enjoy this experience to the fullest extent.

"7 churros please," Jin tells the worker. We all decided in the end that since Jin is the oldest he had to treat us, I was against this idea though. The boys are very persistent on allowing me to let them pay for things however.

"Try it!" Jimin exclaims, filming me with his cellphone.

"Don't film me, Hyung!"

"Just try it,"

I look at it for a second to make sure it's something I want to put in my mouth. I mean, it smells really nice and I pretty much like everything. I bite off a small piece and my eyes immediately widen.

"America has the best food," I say with my mouth full, the boys laughing at my reaction.

"Excuse me? I don't mean to rush you but we really need to get moving if we want to make it to our hotel at a decent time," one of our assistant managers tells us.

We follow him outside into a large black van. It lowkey looks like a child kidnapper van but we do have ten people who need to fit into one vehicle.

"Rain! Sit next to me," V cheers but Yoongi is pulling me to the back, I still holding onto his pinky finger despite all this time.

V and I started to call each other by our stage names as a joke but it's now turned into normal thing.

"Nope, she's sitting next to me," Jungkook says as a matter of fact. He makes an effort to reach across the middle seats and take my hand from Yoongis, sitting me down next to him.

Now I have the door on my right, and Jungkook to my left who has V next to him. I look back at Yoongi to make sure he's not going to get mad at me but he seems un phased by the situation.

"Can't Rae sit in the middle?" V asks Jungkook who shakes his head saying, "nope,"

"Wake me up when we get there," Namjoon yawns from the set of seats behind me. Hoseok is also sitting in the section. The far section of seats is filled with Yoongi, Jimin, and Jin while driving is one of our managers and the passenger seat is also a manager.

Jungkook doesn't hesitate to connect his phone to the aux chord, letting is peaceful melodies of songs fill the car. One of his favorites, Paper Hearts by Tori Kelly fills my ears, encouraging me to rest my eyes for the time being.

Before I know it the van has come to a stop, but not at our hotel. Instead we are at the Korean embassy located in LA. I look back to see that everyone is awaking from their naps, except Jungkook and V who were already awake to begin with.

"We are just going to get some of the documents that we need," our managers say, leaving us alone in the dark.

"Can you play 'Sofa'?" I stretch my arms and look to Jungkook. He nods his head and starts it, both of us preparing to sing it together.

We sing the first line, V joining in for some low harmony causing us to laugh. The hyungs behind us don't seem so amused though, probably because they are all extremely overtired.

The car shakes a bit, not bothering the boys but it seems off to me. I look out the window and see our managers through the window of the building, but why are the front doors opening?  Two men hop in, all of us starting in confusion and fear.

"Um," I start to ask Jungkook a question when the door to my right slides open, causing me to jump.

"Drive!" He shouts to his friends in the front. My eyes widen with fear as I feel someone unbuckling me and moving me.

Luckily it's just Jungkook getting me to be in between him and V. V immediately double buckles me and him together as we all sit in shock.

"What?" Jungkook continues to say in English, also repeating 'No' over and over again.

This has got to be a hidden camera prank.

"We gon take you to yo hotel," the driver chuckles, but I'm at a loss for words. I have no idea what's going on.

But this has got to be a hidden camera prank.

The car starts up and actually starts moving forward, fear within me growing bigger by the second.

"Give me your phones!" The one next to Jungkook shouts, forcefully removing the devices from all of our hands. Why does this seem so legit...

This has got to be a hidden camera prank.

I look at Jungkook and all I can see is panic in his eyes, the same goes for V who looks like he's trying to stay composed.

"Namjoon Hyung, say something," I turn around only to be pushed back into my seat.

"Stop talking!"

I feel my hands start to shake at the reality of the situation. But I can't get too involved, after all,

This has got to be a hidden camera prank.

"RaeJae stay still," I hear Yoongi tell me from the back. I wish I would've stayed with him, I'd be far away from this man and I know Yoongi would protect me.

But why am I even considering this when this has got to be a hidden camera prank?

I can hear Hoseok's jagged breaths behind me, along with Jungkook exasperated and panicked sighs. Why are they all so scared? Usually Jungkook isn't easily fooled... and if he is fooled.... does that mean...?

We drive by a police car which illuminates the inside of the car enough for me to see Jungkook and one of the kidnappers face.

Jungkook can't be fooled... and V his clutching my arm for dear life...

This is no hidden camera prank.

SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE )): but I'm back and ready to post regularly... I might start a schedule.

The  Love Yourself comeback is SO GOOD. My favorite songs off the album is Dimple (illegal) and Outro: Her, but they are all amazing. I'm most excited to see the choreography to the songs.
