Everyone (except for Brian): *picking apples*

Cai Lu: *to the girls* You know, there's one thing we haven't done.

Yari: What?

Cai Lu: We haven't read any articles about ourselves.

Girls: *stop what they're doing and look at each other*

Luma: we really haven't..

Huri: should we read some right now?

Jin: none of you have read any articles about yourselves?

Namjoon: I have

Hoseok: of course you have

Yoongi: the boys and I have

Zahara's mom: I definitely have..the ones in English and Spanish though

Jimin: read some right now then

Yari: I'll search one up *takes out her phone and begins to search*

Zahara: I'll search another then *touches her back pocket and her phone isn't there. Eyebrows furrow and then she remembers she gave her phone to Taehyung so he can keep it in his pocket since his pocket is deeper. Looks at Taehyung* I gave you my phone

Tae: *eyebrows furrow and then he remembers that he does have her phone and hands it to her*

Zahara: thank you *searches one up*

Yari: "The talented and monstrous K-Pop rookie girl group, LFTM has become one of the most popular girl groups in the industry. Their debut song Our Way became number one and stayed number one for 5 consecutive weeks breaking miss A's record. Their debut single album Uh Oh..My My, became number one and stayed number one for two consecutive weeks. What is so special about LFTM that makes them so popular? Although it was only their debut, it was difficult to tell as these girls are the total package. Their music video, choreographies, performances are all so addicting. Everything about this band is addicting. LFTM members are all talented, visuals, and charming it's no wonder these girls gained so many fans with just their debut. With this debut they had a perfect all-kill. All those things are amazing but one thing in particular that I find amazing is that all their songs from their debut single album were on the top 10s on iTunes in the K-Pop genre. Their title song made it to be #25 of songs of all genres in 12+ countries including America, Australia, UK, etc. Our Way was the most streamed song for over two weeks. As for the rest of the songs on the single album they were in the top 15 streamed. Although the girls didn't promote for long, they won 4 awards in total from Inkigayo (2x), M! Countdown!, and Music Bank. It's only the start for LFTM and they are already so successful. Just think of how this band's future will be."

Everyone (except for Brian): *smiling*

Boys: *clap*

Zahara: "Our Way by LFTM has become the most viewed debut music videos in K-Pop history. Within just less than 2 months of its release, this music video has 54,237,890 views and still counting. LFTM's debut is said to be almost too perfect. Watching their debut stage on their Melon Premiere Debut Showcase, these girls oozed with confidence giving one of the best girl group performances there is. Their choreographies are difficult yet go perfectly with their songs. Watching their showcase, it's hard to even tell that these girls were only debuting, they are practically pure naturals. Even with the MR Removed, these girls sound exactly like they do in their songs which is shocking watching how tiring their dances are."

Zahara: *eyes widen* did we really have that many views?!

Girls: *eyes widen*

Namjoon: you girls really did gain a whole lot of popularity, it's crazy.

Girls: HELL YEAH IT IS

Cai Lu: awow...

Girls: *stand side by side in front of one of the cameras*

Huri: we want to thank you all for the massive, overwhelming love and support you have all given us

Zahara: it's insane to think that we debuted over 2 months ago and to know how many of you are apart of the family

Luma: this is just the beginning of LFTM and we hope you are excited for upcoming music that we will bring out

Yari: we hope you all stick with us through this whole journey as this family will possibly grow

Cai Lu: we are all excited yet nervous for what the future has for us individually and as a group

Girls: we love you!! *smiling*

Hari: *lifting finger hearts*

Luma: *lifting one finger heart whiling winking*

Caira: *blowing kisses to the camera*

Zahara: *walks closer to the camera and kisses it*

Girls (except Zahara): Yaaaa!

Yari: Zahara!

Zahara: *laughs as she walks away*

Girls: *walk back and continue picking apples*

15 minutes later. They have picked enough apples.

Huri: I think it'd be a good idea for all of us to separate

Jungkook: what do you mean?

Huri: Okay so we've got to pick berries and oranges then only a few types of vegetables. Half us pick berries, the other half picks oranges.

Everyone: *looks at each other*

Hoseok: Who's going where?

Cai Lu: I want to pick oranges!

Yari: Berries!

Luma: I'll pick oranges

Huri: what do you choose, Zahara?

Zahara: mm..I think berries

Namjoon: I'm the tallest, I'll pick oranges.

Jin: I choose berries

Huri: how about we separate right now? To the left, berries. To the right, oranges.

Everyone: *separates except for Yoongi and Hoseok*

Huri: what are you both confused on?

Yoongi: nothing, we just don't care which one we go to

Huri: alright, Hoseok you will come and pick oranges. Yoongi-ah you'll pick berries.

Everyone: *For the berries, Zahara, Yari, Jin, Taehyung, Jimin, and Yoongi. For the oranges, Cai Lu, Luma, Huri, Namjoon, Jungkook, and Hoseok. Zahara's mom..and father both go wherever Zahara goes so yeah. Camera crew separates in half, one follows the group for berries as the other follows the group for oranges.*

Zari: *Zahara's right arm and Yari's left arm are locked together*

Zahara: *admiring the basket* it's so cute

Yari: *looks at Zahara's basket and then hers since they have the same one* they really are

Jimin: we're passing by the horses!

Tae: *already over at the horses' pen* hello!

Everyone (except Brian): *smiles because of Taehyung*

After getting to the berry fields

Everyone: *picking berries*

Zahara: Oye mama..esta madura? *raises the berry to her mother, knowing it isn't ripe*
[Hey mama..is this ripe?]

Zahara's mom: *looks up* No hija, no esta madura.
[No daughter, it's not ripe.]

Zahara: De verdad? Pero, se parece que si esta..
[Really? But, it looks like it is..]

Zahara's mom: *shakes her head*

Zahara: *acts like she's about to eat it*

Zahara's mom: Zahara! *smacks it out of her hand*

Zahara: *laughs* I love youuuuu *hugs her*

Zahara's mom: *shakes her head again as she realizes Zahara was joking around with her, pats her head*

Zahara: *picks her mom up while hugging her and walks with her*

Zahara's mom: HIJA PUT ME DOWN! POR FAVOR!

Zahara: *smiling, puts her down* fine..

Zahara's mom: you're crazy..

Zahara: and who do I get it from?

Zahara's mom: *tries not laugh* me..

Zahara: yeah..*laughs a bit*

After all the produce picking

Luma: there's an electric bull!

Everyone (except Zahara, her mom and father): *begins to run towards the electric bull*

Tae: *realizing Zahara is not with them, slows down, walking slowly over so he's not far from Zahara but he can't hear them*

Zahara: *locked arms her her mother, trying to ignore the fact Brian is there*

Brian: *whispers into Zahara's ear* I know you are trying to ignore the fact I'm here but you know well that you can't shake it off. I've been watching, is that guy your boyfriend? Maybe I should have a talk with him..*slightly smirks*

Zahara: *looks at Brian, says in a hushed tone* He's not my boyfriend, leave him out of this.

Brian: what's his name?...ah yes, Taehyung isn't it?

Zahara's mom: *looks down*

Zahara: Brian, leave my friends alone.

Brian: he seems to care about you..a lot. More than a friend is what it seems like.

Zahara: *says a little too loud* Brian.

Tae: *hearing Zahara slightly raise her voice at Brian causes him to slightly stop and turn around*

Brian: Ahh ah ah, Zahara. Watch it.

Zahara: *grits her teeth*

Brian: *fully smirks and whispers in her ear again* you look nice today, hun.

Zahara: piss off-

Brian: watch what you say, Zahara. I may mot be able to do anything right now *presses palm right against her back, right on the spot where the bruise, causing Zahara to bite her lower lip in pain* but I always have a chance to after. If not you, your mother.

Zahara: *holding her tears back, from anger since she can't do anything, she walks faster along with her mother leaving Brian behind. Catches up to Taehyung*

Tae: *stands next to her, whispers to her* what happened?

Zahara: let me explain later but for now just walk ahead of us, okay?

Tae: *slightly nods as he walks ahead but again not tooo far away from her*

6:30PM

Boys: *are ready for Zahara's dinner party (which was a surprise for her, obviously she was already told because she's got to get ready), in the living room*

Girls: *are ready but are with Zahara and watch as her makeup is being done (her hair has already been done)*

Sasha: *the one who did Zahara's hair and is doing her makeup, isn't going to the dinner party because she has to take care of her daughter who suddenly became ill out of nowhere and no one else can take care of her as the daughter's father is working*

Zahara: Wait..I don't have a dress to wear. Lulu-

Huri: you're wrong there

Zahara: what..?

Luma: you'll see

Zahara: ...

Sasha: *after a few minutes she finishes, smiles* you're so gorgeous!

Zahara: *turns around and looks at her reflection on the mirror* awow..

Girls: group hug!! *all hug each other and they all smile*

Yari: time to reveal your dress and heels!!

Cai Lu: *grabs Zahara's hand and pulls her into Huri's room*

Huri: *the dress and heels are already laid out on the bed*

Zahara: *gasps* THAT'S WHY YOU GIRLS MADE ME TRY ON SO MANY DRESSES AND SHOES AND MADE ME CHOOSE A FAVORITE. THAT WAS LONG AGO, OMO. HAVE YOU ALL HAD THIS PLAN THAT LONG?

Girls: *nod*

Luma: put them on!!

Zahara: *nods and does as told*

Yari: I want to be surprised, let's all be surprised.

Girls (except for Zahara): *leave the room and go down to the living room and wait for her to get changed and walk down*

Zahara: *gets dressed and looks at herself in the mirror*

*I'm 18..I'm 18 years old yet nothing feels different. I mean yes, career wise and family wise (as in friends like the girls, BTS, Jackson, Hansol, etc.) that's different, it grew but I'm still not confident. Even though I play off well that I am. I'm still depressed and I am grateful for all the good in my life. I still have anxiety, I struggle to keep calm, but I've gotten better at hiding it. My insomnia has gotten better over time too, so that's good. I'm at least glad I've been sober. Almost 2 years now. Smile, Zahara. Smile for everyone else, it's what they want. Hide the pain, hide your sadness, just for the rest of today. Don't upset the others.*
