After being woken up by Tony and Nate, with Jennie already awake and on the couch, BTS drag themselves out of bed, to sit on the couch, still sleepy.

“BTS! Make the best of the best hip hop performance.” They heard the projector announce.

“You got a hip hop performance comin’ up.” Nate mentions.

“Your performance is in a really big theater, here in LA.” Tony adds. “You guys are in charge of doing pretty much everything. Just make it sure it’s a huge, big, dope show, man.”

“Yeah, this show is your show.”

“Ready for the show? Let’s go!” Tony shouts as they all get ready.

‘BTS! Being in a hip hop boot camp, you did various missions. Finally, today, you’re going to show everything that you learned. You’re going to show your LA fans yourselves how much you grew as an artists and what you learned while you were in hip hop boot camp. Pour out everything that you got! A concert that BTS themselves will prepare! Their LA first solo concert. I can look forward to it, right?’

After preparing, making handouts to promote the concert, it was finally the day of their concert.

‘The place where you guys are gonna perform is a place where the history and tradition lies. It’s the stage where many famous worldwide artists stood on!’

After the rehearsals, Jen put on camo jeans with a black cropped hoodie, wearing a tank top under it.

“Yeah...I already know I’m gonna be sweating like crazy.” She puts her hair in a bun. “I’m excited~!”

As the venue fills up, they hear the loud cheers and chants of BTS. The eight members put their hands in the middle. “American Hustle life.” Rap Monster says. “Bangtan, Bangtan.”

“Bang Bangtan!”

‘Finally, their concert starts’

Arriving on stage, they perform Bulletproof first. It turned out to be a success, with the passionate, screaming fans, cheering them on, no matter what they did.

Badda bing badda boom

She puts a finger over her ear, as she hears the crowd shout, “Jennie’s here!”

I have no fear…so don’t try to stop me
Hah!
Tellin’ me your doubts…won’t change my mind
You want me to party? I don’t have time.

Putting the mic to the crowd, she hears them shout, “I’ve been busy workin’. I’ve been busy dancin’. I’m never prancin’. Just enhancing.”

A bright grin was wide on her face as she nods at their singing, she starts to sing again,

I will preserve and you can’t stop my flow
I’m in my own lane, I’m here to attain
I got people asking, Who’s the girl?
The one with the curls, representing the girls
I’m the one with the swag and I don’t mean to brag but I broke oppositions to get where I am today!

After their first song, they happily greet the crowd. “What’s up LA!” Rap Monster shouts.

“Aye! How’s everybody doin’ today!?” Jen happily asks, earning screams in response.

“It’s really an honor to be able to stand on this stage in front of this many people who came. Thank you.” Suga thanks them.

“We met a lot of people. Who did we meet?” Rapmon turns to his members.

“Coolio!” V shouts.

“We also met Warren G.” Jungkook mentions with a smile.

“In celebration of Warren G’s 20th anniversary of the day that he released regulate, we made our own version of regulate.” Rap Monster explains

“We wrote the lyrics with our life stories and it was really fun.”

Once performing their custom raps, Rap Monster mentions that Jenny Kita helped them with their dancing as they perform their dance moves.

Before Jennie knew it, it was time for Team R&B to show off their talent as she stood with Jungkook, Suga and V. “For us, we met up with Iris Stevenson, to learn more about R&B.”

“Yes, Iris Stevenson, who was the actual character from the movie, Sister Act 2, we learned the soulfulness from her.” Suga replies as they point her out in the crowd.

Watching backstage, Jennie jams out to their Oh Happy Day performance. “Ah, they’re so good! Them high notes, though?” She beams as the camera records her reaction.

Once it was her turn, she exhales and heads up to the stage. Waving at the crowd as they cheer her on, she looks up to where Iris was smiling at her. Jen smiles back, making a heart with her hands, for her.

Hearing the piano play the opening notes, she starts off softly,

If I wrote a note to God...
I would speak what's in my soul
I'd ask for all the hate to be swept away
For love to overflow

Putting a hand over her heart, she continues,

If I wrote a note to God
I'd pour my heart out on each page
I'd ask for war to end and for peace to mend this world
I'd say, I'd say
I'd say give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love 'cause love is overdue
And it seems like so much is going wrong
On this road we're on

If I wrote a note to God
I'd say please help us find a way
End all the bitterness, put some tenderness in our hearts
I'd say, I'd say

Shouting, “I'd say” she receives some whoops as she sings louder and stronger,

give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love 'cause love is overdue
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
'Cause it seems like so much is going wrong
On this road we're on
No, no
We can't do it on our own!
So, so

Taking the mic off the stand, she yells out a high “Oh”, earning loud screams.

And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
'Cause it seems like so much is going wrong
On this road we're on
No, no
We can't do it on our own!
So, so

Taking a deep breath, she successfully hits the high note

If I wrote a note to God

Meanwhile, Iris stands up and claps for her, with a big smile on her face. Catching her breath, Jennie looks up and blows a kiss to Iris, with both of her hands.

After the concert was finished, their tutors all show up backstage to greet them, congratulating them on their successful concert.

“Ah...so friggin emotional.” Jennie had tears in her eyes as she fans herself. “I had a blast, but this is just so emotional. Being here, right now.”

“Jennie don’t cry~!”

She felt Jungkook’s bare arms wrap around her from behind as he hugs her tightly.

“I’m trying, Kookie, I’m trying.”

He lets her go and gently wipes the remaining tears from her eyes.

“Jennie! Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.” Iris brings her in for a big hug, kissing her cheek.

‘Their last day for hip hop boot camp that they spent with their fans’
‘Although they were here for a short time, they learned a lot through the time they were here’
‘Now while carrying a special memory, it’s time to leave once again’

‘Last day’

‘Now, the morning of your last day of your hip hop boot camp has risen, for the past 21 days, how will you guys remember the memories you made here, in LA?’

In the dorm, Jen was all packed up as a camera approaches her. “Jennie, did you pack all your stuff? How do you feel?” The PD asks

“Yes, I have packed up. It’s…bittersweet. I enjoyed the last 21 days, now we gotta go back to Korea. It was so nice being back in my country. I hope we come back soon.”

“What did you like the most from your stay, here?”

“Helping the guys experience America to the fullest. I treated the guys to one of my favorite places to eat, so they can try out the food I like to eat. They’re hooked!”
Sitting on the couch, Jen and the guys cheer that it’s the day they go back to Korea.

“Did you guys have fun in LA.” Tony asks

“Very fun! Because of them, we learned a lot.” Jimin answers.

“I always thought that you guys were people who always played around a lot, but then you guys are suppose to be serious, you guys are serious. You guys would play around with us to give us a fun time. These sides made me think of you guys as my real brothers. It’s very natural and really nice.” Suga genuinely says. “From now on, whenever we come to America, we’re always going to miss you.”

“This was our first time living with our tutors and experiencing many things.” J-Hope spoke. “Despite the fact that it was our first time, you guys approached us first and thank you so much for making memories for us that we will never forget.”

With a grin, Jin says, “While we were in America, when it was hard, it was a tiring and difficult time, but we’re really thankful to you for always being our side to help us. I can’t express how thankful I am. Because you guys helped us adapt to this place. You guys are really great hyungs.”

“At first, I had a lot of thoughts that there would be prejudice. Because they were born here, they’re in the biggest music industry, and they’re true artists who dipped their feet in the pace where hip hop really started.” Rapmon adds. “I thought that there would be prejudice between us. But the moment we met, you guys treated us the same as any other. So from that, I was really impressed. It was an honor to have worked with you guys and I just want to say thank you.”

With an eye smile, Jimin says to the tutors, “Because I’m very shy in front of strangers and we couldn’t even communicate, I was very worried about how I would approach you guys. But because you approached me first and talked to me first it must’ve been actually harder on our tutors. But I think it was really nice because you guys always told us good things. I will never forget what you guys taught me, and I’ll become cooler.”

“I was very worried about whether I would be able to make friends. But right now, I think you guys are friends who I will forever have.” V smiles. “I’m very, very thankful and I feel like I’m going to cry. Jennie beat me to it.” He nudges her.

“I was trying to cry discretely.” She wipes her tears and sniffs.

“Because you guys always took care of us well and always thought about us first.” He continues.

Jennie had a sad smile on her face as she turns to the tutors. “It’s...it’s going to be weird waking up in the morning now because we’re so used to you coming in, yelling for us to wake up and dragging us out of bed. Haha. Thank you, for being so patient with us. And giving us words of wisdom. I hope we can all stay in touch. Maybe we’ll show you around in Korea.”

“That’ll be dope.” Nate nods with Tony.

Jungkook mentions, “I can’t speak English but I’m thankful that you guys always talked to me in a way so I can understand. And I’m also thankful for teaching me many things. And I’m very thankful of you guys always waking me up every morning. I’m going to miss you guys, a lot.”

“He’s 16 years old. It doesn’t drop off, like he’s younger than the rest of them and to be that young and be that talented, I’m proud of him.” Tony praises.

“Ah, thank you.” He bows.

“I really enjoyed myself with you guys for the last two weeks. I had a lot of good times, a lot of good memories. I learned a lot from you guys. Imma miss you guys and I consider you guys close to me forever.” Tony smiles

“Well, I just wanna say, that you guys have inspired me like, ‘Go as hard as I can.’ You only get one life. So, you gotta like get the most out of every day. I learned that from you guys, so that’s why I always say: You guys deserve to be #1.” Nate adds.

After their emotional talk, they all end up hugging each other. “Tony, can I have a hug?” Jennie asks with a smile.

Smiling, he opens his arms, inviting her. “Bring it in, girl.”

“Yeah!” She runs up and wraps her arms around him. Picking her up, he spins her around, making her laugh.

‘The sadness of their time to say goodbye to one another is big. Promising one another to meet again one day’

“What has changed the most about you?” PD asks

“I believe I’ve become more confident in my singing. And it’s motivating me to try to sing different styles. After performing at the concert, I believe I can do it.”

‘Now, it’s time to go back to Korea’

Jennie grabs her bags, taking it out the room. “To Korea we go!” She cheers, walking behind Rap Monster. Turning to the camera, she waves. “Bye! I’m not going to cry, I promise. I’ll be back, America!”

‘Hip hop boot camp has ended.’
‘Their individual notebooks that are filled with the memories that they had here.’

‘Jennie’s notes’

‘Craving cheeseburgers’
‘Rapping is harder than I thought’
‘This new album is going to be great!’
‘Overcome roadblocks’
‘I miss my mom and dad’
‘I hope my family is doing okay’
‘I’m happy’
‘Rap Monster keeps snoring so loudly. Next time, I’ll hit him with a pillow’
