Chapter 1: Where are We?
Jin's Pov
This is truly exciting. We are finally doing another world tour. We are currently driving to New York City to get ready for a concert for our new album 'Wings'. I am currently in the passenger seat with manager-nim as our driver. I look behind me to see the others sound asleep, the world shut out in their minds. I smile to myself seeing how peaceful they are.
"Shit," I hear our manager whisper. I looked at him concerned, he barely curses, so something is really wrong. He turns to face me, smiling slightly, concern etched on his features. When I look out the driver's window I see a sign that reads 'Welcome to Storybrooke'.
Storybrooke? What's that? Are we still in New York? I'm so confused right now. The manager pulls the car to the side, getting out to look around. I get out with him, looking around the quiet town that seems to be surrounded by nothing but woods.
I go to walk to where the sign is to go past it, but there's a force that pushes me back. I look up from where I fell, confused. Confused as to what stopped me. I slowly get back onto my shaky feet, looking back at the manager. He rushes to my side, helping me up.
"Manager-nim, where are we," I asked him breathless.
"I wish I knew kid. I'm sorry, I must've taken a wrong turn. Let's head straight to see if there's any other civilization. If there is, maybe they'll be able to shine some light as to where we actually are," He states calmly. I nod my head slowly, climbing back into the van.
My heart is unsteady. I'm scared. Not scared for myself, but for my band mates. What will they think when they realize we're in an unfamiliar town? Will they be scared? Will they calmly accept everything? There's so much at stake right now. One of those things is the fact that we can't turn back.
The manager starts driving again until we come upon a quaint little town. He parks the van to the side of the road behind a yellow Volkswagen that looks run down. The boys slowly start to get up, Namjoon being the first to fully wake up. I decide to wait until they all get up to explain the situation we're in.
"There's a diner right across the street, let's go there for now," our manager suggests. We all quietly head to the diner, getting weird looks from the townspeople. I look to the people, them giving us awed looks, making us slightly uncomfortable.
I accidentally bump into someone amidst my thoughts. I look down to see a boy no older than 13 with brown short hair looking at me. He shakes his head to wake himself from his own trance.
A blonde lady joins his side, staring at me as well. The boys are all at the diner already as I have a staring contest with the two people in front of me.
"Who are you," the boy questions. I look to him again to see the genuine concern in his eyes. The lady places her arm around his shoulder, looking at me with the same curiosity.
"The name is Kim Seokjin, but you can call me Jin for short," I introduce myself. They both nod in understanding.
"Well Jin, my name is Henry and this is my mom Emma. What brings you to our town?" Something is off with his question. It's as if he's more scared than concerned. His voice had a slight tremble to it.
"We were heading to New York City for a concert, but our manager took a wrong turn and we wound up in this town. I tried walking past the town line, but for some reason I got thrown back from some type of force. In short, this is where we are now," I explain. The reality of everything finally sinking in. I want to cry. I don't know where we are. I don't know if we're in danger. I don't know if we can trust the people of this town.
"You must be really scared," the blonde lady observes. The hardened look in her eyes visibly softens as she looks to me with pity. I swallow the lump in my throat, holding back my tears as I nod my head. Emma smiles sweetly at me as she leads me through the doors of the diner.
I see my band mates already drinking and eating food, unaware of the trouble we're in.
"I'm guessing that's the rest of your crew," Henry speaks. I nod, still unable to speak. I'm afraid that once I do I'll start crying. I don't want to cry in front of everyone, seeing as how I'm the oldest in the group, I'm supposed to be the more mature and composed one. Crying will only make me look weak.
Namjoon locks eyes with me, seeing the discomfort behind them. He gets up to head over to me.
"Where are we Jin?" His voice wasn't disappointed or angry, it held genuine concern. He looked at the two people with me, smiling at them.
"We're lost Joonie. Oh God, we're lost without knowing where we exactly are! We can't escape from this town either, I already tried. Joonie, there's a force keeping us here," I cry. He hugs me tightly as I let the tears fall.
The whole diner goes quiet after my little outburst. Some people look at us with pity while others look at us with distrust. I don't blame them, we are strangers who have trampled into their quaint little town, disturbing the peace they held.
The door to the diner dings, signaling that someone else came in. I look up to see another woman who looked to be in charge of the town enter. She had short black hair with a scar above her lips. She had bold red lipstick on with scrutinizing eyes as she stares at Namjoon and I.
"Who are our guests," She asks Emma while holding eye contact with me. Of I said I wasn't scared of her right in this moment I would be lying.
"Mom, please be gentle with them. They are genuinely lost people," the boy intervenes. You can see her relax as she gives us a side smile.
"Very well. How about I introduce myself? My name is Regina," She says, holding out her hand.
"Hello Ms.Regina, my stage name is Rapmonster, but my real name is Kim Namjoon, and this here is Kim Seokjin," Joonie introduces us.
"Wait, Rapmonster as in Rapmonster from Bangtan Sonyeondon," the little boy exclaims. We look to him to see him with an excited look on his face. We nod our heads, shock overtaking us completely. "This is so cool, you guys are pretty popular," He continues. This calms me down a little. Knowing that he has heard of us really lightens up the mood.
"Okay, now that we have that all cleared let's head to my place. We can all sit down and discuss what happened. I will also shed some light as to who we are and where you are exactly," the Regina lady chimes in. We nod our heads, all of us following closely behind her.
She walks up to a huge white house that has a beautifully decorated garden. When we walk in the house all we see is just all black and white, very bland but elegant. We just stare in awe at the place, taking in our surroundings.
"Come in, make yourselves comfortable," Regina pipes. We slowly walk in, sitting in her living room.
When we get there we see 4 other people sitting down, as if they're waiting for us. One of them is a gentleman dressed in all black with a hook for a hand. He has a scruffy beard with a tough looking exterior about him. The other gentleman is more of a princely character. He has short brown hair with a sharp jawline. The other person sitting next to him is beautiful. She has snow white skin with rosy cheeks, soft eyes, and short black hair. She's the depiction of beauty. The other woman in the room has long brown wavy hair with a gentle smile.
They all seem friendly enough, but you shouldn't trust too easily. They could be psychos disguised as gentle and caring people. They could be the ones holding us here for all we know.
"Okay, we should start with introductions," Regina begins.
"Indeed mate. I'm known as Captain Hook, but you could call me Killian," the one with the hook starts. Captain Hook? Isn't that a fairytale charcater from Peter Pan?
I shake my head to rid myself of my thoughts while we wait for the others. "My name is Prince Charming, but in this town I go by David. This here is my wife Snow white, she goes by Mary Margaret. The young lady over there is Belle," David introduces everyone.
"Aren't those all fairytale characters," I blurt out. They nod their heads, knowing that we're confused.
"We were brought to the real world because of me placing a curse on the Enchanted Forest that brought us here," Regina explains. "I am known as the Evil Queen," She continues. There's disgust coating her voice. She doesn't approve of her own actions, that much is clear.
"Well since you all already introduced yourselves it's time we did the same," Namjoon chimes in. He's sitting on the far left, so he starts with himself. "The name is Kim Namjoon, I go by Rapmonster when on stage, the person next to me is Jung Hoseok, who goes by J-Hope on stage, the one next to him is Park Jimin, but you could just call him Jimin or Chimchim. The one after him is Jeon Jungkook, who just goes by Jungkook. The one after that is Min Yoongi, stage name is Suga. Then you have Kim Taehyung, who goes by V, and lastly Kim Seokjin, you all could just call him Jin," Namjoon finishes.
I can see Henry hopping in place filled with excitement. It's great to see an ARMY fan in a town where we're lost.
"Now that introductions are out of the way how about we start off with some questions? Why are in our town," Mary kindly asks. I look into her eyes to see sadness and pity behind them.
"Our manager got lost when we were heading to a concert in New York City. We had decided to do a world tour and those were one of the cities we all agreed upon. We are a famous music group located in Seoul, Korea," I explain.
They look at each other then back to us. "In others words you're stuck in an unknown town with unfamiliar people and you have no way back," Belle chirps.
"That's correct," Namjoon responds. I hear sniffling coming from some of the boys, causing an ache to course through my heart.
"Please don't be afraid of us, we are here to help. We want to help you all find a way out of this town so you could go back to your lives," David whispers. He looks down out of guilt.
I lick my lips, nervousness completely taking over my whole being.
"What are you all hiding from us?" My voice was quivering. I knew I sounded scared. Taehyung squeezes my hand reassuringly, trying to calm me down. How can they all be so calm? We are in an unknown land with people who claim to be from another world.
"I understand a lot of this is strange. As long as you're all here strange things will keep happening around you. You seven are ordinary beings that were brought into a town full of magic. I want to make you all feel as comfortable as possible. I don't want you to be afraid of us," Regina tries stating calmly. I can hear the nervousness in her voice as well.
I guess we're all in the same boat. I mean here are seven strangers that invaded their town when we weren't supposed to, and here we are facing characters from books and movies.
"I have a question," Jungkook excitedly yells. We all look at him, waiting for him to continue. He has his beautiful bunny teeth smile that warms the hearts of all fans showing. "If you're snow white, then there's the seven dwarves right? Are they here as well? Is this town full of just fairytale characters?" He asks question after question, bouncing in excitement. Everyone chuckles at him.
"I think that's enough for one day young man. You all must be exhausted after your long trip from Korea, so please rest up for today," Regina laughs. We all bow in their direction as David leads us to a small Inn. The inn is a little bit too cozy, with enough room for just one person in each of the rooms. It's attached to the diner that we were at, which I found out is called Granny's Diner.
Each member gets his own room, which is what we were all hoping for. I collapse on my bed as soon as I enter my room, allowing my exhaustion to take over as I fall into a deep slumber. Today was a weird yet eventful day.
