Translated from Korean

"We are on in ten minutes." An assistant manager came inside the green room and informed the BTS members.

Jungkook was doing squats at one corner of the room while the others were prepping their voices for the grand performance. They were performing their newest hit On for the first time at the Grand Central Terminal in New York, it was a segment for 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'. They had attended more than seven interviews and performed Black Swan at 'The Late Late Show with James Corden'. They even did his famous carpool segment. It was past midnight, the Grand Central Terminal was shut down for them. They were absolutely pumped up for their final performance of this USA trip.

Yoongi bent down and tied his shoelaces before standing up straight and cracking his neck. He went over his verses, mumbling them while the make-up artist was giving his face ending touches. He had attended a physiotherapy session in the evening for his shoulder. It felt much better than it had a week ago when he had to go to the hospital back at home. After he was done getting ready for the performance he picked up his phone. There were many notifications waiting for him but he opened his messages. The newest message was from a minute ago.

KS

'All the best for your performance. I hope your shoulder is fine. Can't wait for you to be back tomorrow.'

It was from Seri. It instantly brought a smile on his face. This past week was very tiring it took a toll on him but he would be back in the comfort of his own room by tomorrow night with his best friend by his side.

Yoongi

'Thank you. Don't forget to eat lunch just because you are working. See you soon.'

After replying to her message he kept his phone on the table with rest of his belongings and left with the other members for the performance venue.

The terminal was huge, it was brightly lit and there were more than ten cameras surrounding them. Suga was used to performing after being a part of Bangtan Sonyeondan since nearly the last seven years but Min Yoongi still got nervous before a big performance. Jin patted on his back twice and smiled at him reassuringly right before the music started that seemed to relax him a bit.

'Win no matter what.'

As soon as the music stopped Yoongi felt his posture relax his heart was beating incredibly fast and his breathing was uneven, he felt like he had just run a marathon. Jimmy Fallon came to them and hugged them.

"Wow! What a performance you guys." He complimented them in English.

"Ah. Ah. Thank You!" Yoongi managed to breathe out an answer.

The assistant managers rushed the members to the green room after the performance. They were given bottles of water, Yoongi quickly grabbed the bottle which was numbered two and gulped it down. He looked around the room for a couch but found it a few steps too far so he just sat down there and then on the floor. Taehyung joined him and sat beside him.

"As much as I love performing I am so done with it for now. I just need a break." He whined out loudly.

"Same. To be honest I just want to relax for some time now. It will be 1st March tomorrow and then before we know it, it will be Yoongi Hyung's birthday. It would be so nice if we had a few days off once we go back to Seoul." Namjoon looked at them dreamily as if feeling euphoric from such a thought.

"I will take a few days off no matter what as soon as we go back because Eomma has not been feeling well and I am planning to visit her." Hoseok told them.

"I will also need to take time off because I need to help my brother with some shopping. I feel like the worst best man in the world. I am never there for him." Jin's elder brother was getting married in a few months to his fiancé of four years and Jin was his best man and MC.

"I was not going to say anything this soon but I am also going to ask for the week off. I feel so guilty because Seri took time off from her work to visit me for a month but I was not even in the same country as her for a week of her trip. I am the one who always nagged her that she never took out time for me and now that she has I am the one neglecting her. I promised to have dinner with her the night before leaving but couldn't because of our schedule. I am going to spend all of next week with her." Yoongi let them in on his plan.

Jungkook elbowed Jimin to speak.

"Hyung, did you talk to her about this plan of yours?" He asked Yoongi.

"No. I want to surprise her." He replied to Jimin with the most endearing smile on his face.

"I don't know if you know or not but she might have another date this week." He gauged Yoongi's face carefully.

The smile on his face had dropped instantly.

"Date? Wait, did you say another date? Did she go on a date? Why did I not know about this? How come you know about this?" Yoongi stood up instantly from his earlier relaxing sitting position.

"I am the one who told this to everyone, Hyung. I overheard her conversation the day she came to Seoul on Hoseok Hyung's birthday. And a day before we left for LA I was helping her with editing some videos when she informed me about her date on Tuesday." Jungkook looked at the rapper sheepishly.

"Tuesday? That was two days ago." Yoongi whispered sadly.

"Yes and today when I sent her a picture of mine to edit she told me that the date had gone quite well and there may be a chance that he could ask her out again before she left Korea." Jungkook added.

"Who is this he? What does he do? Do I know him? Have they met before?" Yoongi spit out one question after the other.

"Yaah, Min Yoongi what is wrong with you? She just went on a date. She is a single adult woman who can do whatever she wants." Jin reminded Yoongi.

"I know that Hyung but she told me that this trip was for me then why did she go on a date?" Yoongi questioned him.

"She has a life outside of you. I know you both have been best friends for twenty years Yoongi-ah but now you both have grown up."

"Yes, Hyung. And you are acting too defensive for someone who is just Noona's best friend. Be careful we might think you have a crush on her or something." Taehyung warned Yoongi light heartedly.

"I do. I do have a crush on her."
