Claude storms into my room looking frantic, "look I didn't tell you but Big Hit is having funding problems and so Genre paid for the bus ride back from the exams a few weeks ago, otherwise, they would all have to squish into their manager's car. That's not why I'm here though, I think there is something you should see," he said handing me a stack of files.
        "Wait? What?" I yawn still half asleep but he runs back out before I can question him more. I pick up the first file and open it to see a picture of Yoongi and it had his weight, birthday, height and other basic information. I kind of skim through his profile page and read, "his parents were never supportive of his music dreams and they would dispose of his music/lyric sheets for him to focus on music." I narrow my eyes at this statement and read on, "he suffers from severe depression and anxiety on his journey in pursuing his music career and from time to time he would have to choose between food and transportation, Since he does come from a poor family he would work a part-time job to pay the bills and would starve with no money to eat. He once attempted to sell his song for 10,00 won (9 $US) to buy food," I stop reading and throw the file across the room. I cry for like ten minutes straight, I would have never known, they are always so cheerful and full of hope. I pick up the next file which was Seokjin's. "Jin's mom's friend's would brag about their son's success. Jin auditioned because he wanted his mom to be proud of him too. He actually auditioned for Big Hit to become an actor. He was casted by five other entertainment companies before joining Big Hit," I set the file down and go to the next one, I swear someone is outside my door cutting onions.
        "Rap monster had the chance of going as a solo artist which was his big dream but chose BTS over it. He watches other groups rise to success but never gives up hope on BTS. He is a 1% student in Korea with an IQ of 148, he left that all to become a rapper," I finish reading, there were so many sacrifices to get where they are now, yet they still struggle. "J-hope auditioned because he didn't want his father to be disappointed in him. Jimin entered Busan high school of performing arts majoring in dance where his teacher suggested him to audition. Jimin almost didn't make it in the group because people doubted his abilities. V was pending to become a BTS member. He would sit by the trash can and watch while the other six members do logs. he cried when he received a letter that's he's accepted into BTS. Jungkook was pushed by other big agencies but decided to join Big Hit because of Rap Monster," I couldn't read anymore and by this point, all the files were tossed across the room. What sadder is I know what all of them are going through, when I went for AGT I snuck away from home and did in secret, my friends were the only one who kept me from giving up. Even now my step parents still hate me for going into the music business. I look at the financial pages and they might have to actually disband BTS. My gloomy thoughts were interrupted by the boys who burst in laughing when they saw the files and then it stops and they look over at me sitting in the darkest corner. "Are you okay Kate?" asks Taehyung breaking the silence of the room.
        "You all hide it so well," I sniffle looking at them with a wavering smile.
        "Hide what?" asks Claude walking in as well looking at the mess I have created as it starts to snow outside, it may not seem like it but I have been in Korea for around three months now, dancing with the boys, teaching my classes and kicking Minseok's butt. (Sorry this time perception is really bad XD) "They hide the pain and sacrifice they have all gone through, to be the happy BTS that their fans see them as," I explain as Jimin runs up and pulls me into his lap so I'm giving him a hug. So basically our chests are together and I can fee his abs again, my arms are over his shoulder and my legs around his waist. I nuzzle my head into his into my arm and cry a bit while all the other members silently join the hug. "We all have sacrificed something, yes and we have gone through pain to get here but we will fight on. This journey is far from over," smiles Namjoon as Claude clears his throat.
        "I know you are all very emotional teenagers right now and puberty is hitting you like buses but I really need to inform Kate that her parents have demanded that she comes back from Korea for Christmas," he says leaving looking sadly at me. I bury my head back down into my arm and wish I could stay there forever. I don't want to go back, I mean I don't want to go back to my family. I haven't seen Genre in a while, yes and I miss them a lot. I wasn't planning to back so soon. Three months have flown by like a freight train and I'm growing attached to BTS, no matter how many headaches they produce. I just love helping them all practice their dances for No more dream, We are bulletproof part 2, N.O and attack on Bangtang. They have all gotten so far, I even managed to some what improve Seokjin's and Namjoon's dancing. We all sat there for I don't even know how long, I think what Claude said was still sinking in. "NO I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO BACK TO MAPLE SYRUP LAND!!!" screams Taehyung breaking the silence and causing me to fall backward and lay my head down on Yoongi's belly and of course he is fast asleep.
        "Syrup land?! You just offended so many Canadians," rants Namjoon as I sigh, I have lived in Canada my whole life and it doesn't surprise me when people say the land of Syrup or the land of polar bears. I have never even seen a polar bear! I end up laughing just thinking about it and everyone cheers up slightly. "Now things are getting back to normal! Let's go have breakfast HO HO HO!" yells Seokjin as I jump on Hoseok's back. "Let's go J-horse!" I say I haven't used his little nickname since the exams almost a month ago. He gallops away majestically, well more like down the hallway and then he sets me down in the kitchen. After the cooking challenge way back when I learned the Seokjin and Jungkook are actually really good cooks, I probably gained a lot of weight just from eating their cooking. I finish up and go to get ready for today, luckily I have a free day to just chill. Things have been extreme from running around after BTS, to creating class plans, to writing music and choreographing for Genre and still going for Taekwondo lessons. I decide to take a hot bath and relax for a bit, forgetting about my family.
Back with the boys~
        "I really don't want Kate to leave," says Jungkook breaking the silence that fell after Kate left to do her morning routine thing. Claude walks into the room and looks at the seven depressed boys. "Cheer up love birds I may have a solution," he smiles when all of them turn their full attention to him. He pulls out a lap top from his bag and on the screen appears Genre, well half of Genre, the other half was setting up their plan. "Look, whenever we talk to Kate she seems happy there and you guys are doing a good job of taking care of her. We know that you guys are all really close. We love her dearly as well and we want to surprise her for her birthday that is coming up in January. Since her parents have demanded her return we have set up a plan, to bring you all to Canada and surprise her. For this, to work you need to all act like she is really leaving to make it more realistic," explains Ian and all the BTS members smile, Suga with his gummy smile and Jungkook with his bunny smile.
        "One problem though since this is sort of last minute you will be flying to the Calgary airport and you will have to stay at Kate's parent's house because none of us can pick you up until the morning and I'm pretty sure Kate will be to jet lagged to drive you out to the manner," adds Tia and then Noelle speaks up, "be careful around her parents they can be scary and keep a close eye on her, if she gets hurt,-" Jaeden gets cut off by Suga, "she will not get hurt."
        "WAIT ARE YOU TALKING TO KOOKIE??" screams Kaylee in the background bumping into a bunch of things including the wall and Junkook starts shaking in his timberlands from her loud voice. "Be at the airport with Kate, don't be late, bring warm clothes because Canada is cold in the winter," rushes Robbie as they slam the lap top close.
        "The trips will be on the 23rd which is tomorrow, you will be there by the evening of the 24th. Pack in secret and gentlemen protect her from her parents," says Claude getting super serious about the last part leaving as Kate comes out of the bathroom looking better than she did.
Kate's P.O.V:
        The boys were all causally trying to look like nothing happened while I was in the bathroom. "What is going on?" I growl as they scramble to play video games and ignore my question. I roll my eyes, "boys," I hiss heading to my room to pack. I hope I can be back by January or February. Instead of packing I actually write out class schedules for the next four months, they will need a substitute. Somehow after finishing that I end up dancing around my room to this beat I kind of create in my head, "wae nae mameul heundeuneun geonde," I sing creating this dance out of the blue. I start writing down the lyrics and creating music sheets and before I knew what I was doing I wrote a whole song. I pin it to my wall and finish my bag off, by this time it was like eight at night. What? Songs don't just come out of thin air they take time. (I'm going to be evil and make you guess or end up using google translate, or maybe you just know the song) I come out my door to see the apartment pitch black, no way everyone went to bed right? I turn the phone flashlight on and wander towards one of the boys rooms to find it empty. What the heck?! Did they go out without me? I ask myself heading towards the kitchen to get some dinner when confetti slaps me in the face. "SURPRISE!!" yells the boys as Taehyung gives me a side hug. I look around to see a banner that said, "happy going away party but you better come back soon or we hunt you down." Whoever wrote it barely fit it all on the paper.
        "You guys are the best and very extra," I laugh as they form a hug line going in this order; Yoongi, Namjoon, Taehyung, Seokjin, Taehyung who snuck back into the line but got smacked by Jungkook, Jungkook, Jimin and Hoseok. We all eat cake and joke around while I beat them all at Mario Kart until one in the morning and now I have to leave to catch a plane. I smile sadly my bag at the door and they form another hug line, nerds. I hug them all again when Yoongi plants a kiss on my cheek and all the members gape in horror. I laugh awkwardly and step out the door saying a quick goodbye while basically sprinting down the walk way and into the taxi but what I didn't know was after I left they scrambled around the apartment ready to go to Canada.
