"WAKE UP BITCHES"

One after the other, the eldest hyung woke up his fellow bandmates. To say that they were excited was an understatement.

"Did yall eat something yet? It is eight already." said YOONGI, eyes still half-closed.

"Yesss, Rapmon hyung and Hobi hyung cooked for us!!" Chimed the maknae. YOONGI had full heart eyes.

If anything has changed in the past month, it was the bond the rookies shared. They learned so much about each other, they no longer had awkward conversations as if they were a family. Even though practising and still working on their skills for about eight hours a day... they were still worried about how will they go back.

They even tried using the 2 Cool 4 Skool album, like the previous time but it didn't work this time. They had ample of discussions among themselves... concluding, that there will be a way to go back. They'll make efforts to go back, any way possible but the fact unsaid, they were losing their hope.

"Alright, we'll be going out-" NAMJOON was cut mid-sentence by jimin.

"Can we tag along? Pleasee?" If it wasn't clear until now, let me tell you. Little mimi's cuteness was way too much for the leader to say no to.

"Um... guys?" The leader asked his fellow bandmates, unsure.

"I don't think it'd be much of a problem... I'll inform manager-nim and Sihyuk hyung" SEOKJIN told, going back to his room to get the smartphone.

"All of you get ready! We are leaving in 10" The oldest shouted from his room.

"Hyung let me fucking live!" JIMIN shouted back being whiney.

"DARE CURSE IN THIS HOUSEHOLD AGAIN PARK JIMIN!!" The oldest shouted back, from inside his room, still loud and clear.

"I am tired too" this time the whine came from the other '95 liner.

"Get ready or get out of the house" said YOONGI, nonchalant.

"Rude" said the soulmates, dragging themselves back to their room. bts were already dressed up, watching the drama of the Bangtan dorm.

Meanwhile, HOSEOK came back already prepared to go. He wore an off-white sweatshirt along with bottle green half pants, styling his look with a matching green scarf around his neck and an off-white flat cap, put loosely on top of his blond hair. Choosing to go with simple footwear he wore plain white socks along with matching shoes.

"How do I look?" Asked the sunshine excited.

"Like a fashion tycoon!" taehyung exclaimed while the others agreed with him. This compliment made HOPE smile even wider. NAMJOON joined them followed by JUNGKOOK.

NAMJOON wore a beige shirt with a brown checked, untied tie lying around the collar perfectly tucked. Accompanied by a denim top and bottom along with white shoes.

JUNGKOOK wore a round-neck white T-shirt along with a mauve zipper with regular fit dark blue pants with his shiny black stomper shoes.

"I am getting inferiority complex now" seokjin said.

"Hyung are you seriously talking of inferiority with a face like that?" JUNGKOOK mocked, it was more of a praise.

"Yah you brat! That's not how you talk to the God" came in SEOKJIN looking ethereal. The two oldest were having a little bit of twinning.

SEOKJIN had an overcoat on with the deepest shade of bottle green and navy blue checks while YOONGI had a zipper shirt of the same print, unbuttoned. Both of them wearing a similar white T-shirt matching with JUNGKOOK's underneath. Putting on regular fit denim of different shades. JIN put on a pair of white boots while the younger went with green and white designer sneakers.

"Let's place bets... Jiminie will be the last one to come out." said JUNGKOOK, forgetting the honorifics with JIMIN, yet again.

"No Jungkook-ah it is the universal truth, Jimin will be the last." Said HOSEOK backing out. Let's say the same happened, TAE closed the door to his room behind him to find the others looking at him.

"WHAT!?" asked the confused boy.

"Nothing-" replied the others, at the same time.

TAE had a deep V-neck dark green hoodie on, mind you... this boy wasn't wearing a T-Shirt underneath like the others. Wearing his favourite beige shade baggy pants with the iconic white Chelsea shoes and his vintage-style glasses. A mismatch, which looked perfect from each aspect.

"Yeah yeah keep making fun of me, I don't care" said the boy, sulking now.

"We didn't-"

"Look who's here... The king of being late" said TAE with a smug smile.

"Blah blah blah, get your ass up. We need to go" said JIMIN. He wore a white shirt along with a cut-sleeve green sweater with two big white stripes. Dark blue fitted denim and white sneakers.

Reaching the HYBE, BTS got their hair done. They recorded an hour-long group talk, which was supposed to be half of an hour despite being short on time, the staff decided to let them keep going.

After a drinks break and touch-ups to their hair, they were going to get solo songs recorded. Later they'd have a group recording or that's what they thought...

First up was JOON, singing about his bicycle, how the two wheels keep on going, how it gets shaken up crossing an obstacle and then gets peaceful again. It was his way of showing how life is, with ups and downs, with comfort and warmth and with sorrows and coldness. It was a soulful song.

The next up was the oldest, who sang about how even after having everything. The absence of one person made him feel as if he was all alone. The absence he felt in all his achievements lately... the absence of ARMYs. He dedicated the song to them.

TAE was ready for his shoot next, singing bout how the snow of Christmas eve melts away the blues and greys of life... comparing the snow flowers to ARMYs, implying that each one is one in a million and unique.

The maknae's song caught the bts' attention, the lyrics were familiar. It was then that it struck the teens it was the song that JUNGKOOK started when he landed up in 2013. The song did have a lot of modifications lyrically and how it turned out, impressed the seven.

The slow and calm atmosphere was uplifted by J-Hope. Unlike the song tempo, the lyrics had a deep meaning... how he was focused on living up to his name, creating a fake personality, yet it was the world which he created.

The next up wasn't Suga of BTS, it was AGUST D. Singing his favourite track of his latest playlist, saying it’s fine to cry, to shed tears. Things don't turn out how we want them to be and it was how life is like. Speaking up about how, his ordinary was other's extraordinary and vice-versa.

Ending the solo shoot was JIMIN, with his perfection-filled voice. Singing how JIMIN, or other people, may feel when they are portrayed to seem like there are many versions of the individual. Whether it's cute or hot, smart or clumsy, it is all him and he accepts that proudly.

The staff cheered for all of them as soon as JIMIN's shoot was over. JIMIN's hairstylist quickly gave a retouch to his hair. Giving them a break of ten minutes, the staff started working on the set. Although BTS was taken aback at the sight of one individual, their previous manager Sejin.

He had resigned to move back to his family. As soon as TAEHYUNG saw him, leaving the snacks he had in his hands, the boy ran to the older attacking him with a hug.

"SEJIN HYUNG-NIM!?" and with the Sejin found himself being crushed by seven buff men giving him body slam attacks.

The trainees from 2013 shared a look as they saw the scene unfold. namjoon had more of a content smile, seokjin raised a brow at him.

"At least now I know we are with the best people around." The soon- to-be-leader pointed out and had his bandmates nod at him.

BTS members asked their ex-manager how come he thought of visiting them but the older simply said, he felt like he wanted to see them.

"Guys, we are done. Get your mics, we'll start shooting ASAP!" Shouted the director on a megaphone from God knows where.

"WAIT-!? Am I hallucinating or am I hallucinating?" Almost screeched Sejin.

"Huh?" Asked YOONGI.

"I am seeing the baby you there and damn I need a doctor-"

"Hyung! They are real" JUNGKOOK said stifling the urge to laugh out loud.

"No-"

"Yes." Affirmed the leader while the little bts waved at him. To bts, Sejin looked as if he didn't age a day, still very much familiar.

"Long story short, they time travelled." Said Mr Han, BTS' current manager.

"Oh?" He responded but it felt as if he was still processing the words.

"DAMN... My favourite boys!!!" Cheered Sejin.

"I am seriously getting an inferiority complex... they are literally the younger version of us" JIMIN said, 110% offended.

"Boys! The set is up!" Shouted the performance director on his megaphone from God knows where.

The medley went from their Debut Album right to the albums following much later. All full of vocals and raps, but the three rappers of bts somewhere felt that they lost their hip-hop essence and that's when the BTS rapline hit them with their song UGH. One could never figure out what genre and what vibe of the song would be if it is the BTS performing.

Just then, a familiar face, Sejin came into view. He whispered to them to go and sit in the right corner of the room, the staff will be filming backstage as well for some reason he didn't tell and didn't want them to come up on the camera. bts gladly agreed.

BTS ended their shoot to notice a few more technical cameras being used and set up around them which weren't used in the previous shoot but shook it off when their attention went towards the group of boys sitting in the staff looking at them with eyes full of amusement and excitement; TXT, ENHYPEN, a few of other groups' members under HYBE and the undercover trainees.

"We came to see you hyungs!" shouted Soobin from beside the director. BTS waved back at them. Instead of shouting on the top of his lungs and damaging his vocal cord, Taehyun preferred requesting the megaphone from the director to talk to BTS.

"Sunbaenim, can we request a song from you? If you are free..." He did sound a little hesitant but the others supported him showing puppy eyes to the senior-most group who couldn't resist them

"I... um sure... if we didn't forget the lyrics of the song you are going to ask for" replied YOONGI, fumbling at first but getting nonchalant towards the end.

"We are Bulletproof, the Eternal" replied Taehyun, scratching his nape.

"I guess we can... no, we should." Said the leader, looking over to his group who nodded in agreement instantly.

But what the soon-to-be eight year group didn't know was that the performance, right from the song Like premiered live. The staff has prepared something special for their beloved boys.
