Seven Stars Rising (BTS)
Chapter 1
[Group Chat: Dance Class Buddies]
Park Jimin
Guys, did you see that new kid at the studio today? He was insane!
Jung Hoseok
Oh, you mean the one with the bunny smile and crazy dance moves?
Park Jimin
Yes! He nailed the freestyle. I swear, he’s like a natural.
Kim Namjoon
A natural, huh? You don’t say that often, Jimin.
Park Jimin
Well, I’m serious this time. He’s good. Like, really good.
Jeon Jungkook
[joins the chat] Hi… Um, I’m new here. Is this the right chat for the dance class?
Jung Hoseok
Oh, look who it is! The new kid! Welcome, Jungkook!
Jeon Jungkook
Thanks… I hope I’m not intruding.
Park Jimin
No way, you’re exactly where you need to be. Everyone, meet Jungkook, our new star dancer.
Kim Namjoon
Nice to meet you, Jungkook. I’m Namjoon. The one who’s always tripping over his own feet.
Jeon Jungkook
Haha, nice to meet you, Namjoon. I’ve seen you dance. You’re actually pretty good.
Kim Namjoon
Oh, flattery will get you everywhere, kid.
Jung Hoseok
So, Jungkook, tell us… How’d you end up at our little dance studio?
Jeon Jungkook
I’ve always loved dancing, but I’ve never really trained professionally. Just moved to Seoul, and thought I’d give it a shot.
Park Jimin
Trust me, you’ve got the talent. Ever thought about doing it more seriously?
Jeon Jungkook
Maybe... I mean, it’s my dream. But I don’t know anyone here yet. Just taking it one step at a time.
Jung Hoseok
You know us now! And trust me, this group… We’re a family in the making.
Jeon Jungkook
Family… I like the sound of that.
Kim Namjoon
We’re more than just dancers, Jungkook. We’re dreamers. And it looks like you’ve got a dream, too.
Jeon Jungkook
Yeah, I do. I want to be the best I can be.
Park Jimin
Then you’re in the right place. Stick with us, and we’ll make those dreams happen.
Jung Hoseok
Welcome to the crew, Jungkook. Let’s make some magic.
Jeon Jungkook
Thanks, guys. I’m ready.
As Jungkook logs off the chat, a smile spreads across his face. He feels something he hasn’t felt in a long time — a sense of belonging. Little does he know, this is just the beginning of a journey that will change his life forever.
Chapter 2
[Group Chat: Library Late-Nighters]
Kim Namjoon
Why am I always stuck in this library at midnight? 😩
Kim Taehyung
Because you’re a nerd, Namjoon. A lovable nerd, but still… a nerd.
Kim Namjoon
Taehyung? What are you doing here? You hate studying.
Kim Taehyung
I’m not here to study! I’m just… people-watching. 🤫
Kim Namjoon
At a library? At midnight?
Kim Taehyung
Hey, people are fascinating everywhere, even in libraries. And besides, I saw you struggling with those books. Figured I’d come say hi.
Kim Namjoon
Sighs My brain feels like it’s about to explode. I’ve been trying to finish this essay for hours.
Kim Taehyung
What’s it about?
Kim Namjoon
It’s about art history, actually. You’d probably love it. The role of modern art in social change.
Kim Taehyung
Ooooh, now that’s interesting. Why didn’t you say so sooner? Want some help?
Kim Namjoon
Wait, you actually know about this stuff?
Kim Taehyung
Dude, I may not look like it, but I’m an art enthusiast. 🎨 I love how art can tell stories, change perspectives. Here, let me see…
Kim Namjoon
Hands over the notes Okay, impress me, then.
Kim Taehyung
grins Alright, listen. Art isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about emotion, revolution, a reflection of society. It’s like… it’s like our music, you know?
Kim Namjoon
*Nods slowly* You’re right. Music and art are just two sides of the same coin. Both express what words can’t.
Kim Taehyung
Exactly! You get it. Now write that down — it’ll get you an A for sure.
Kim Namjoon
Laughs You’re something else, Taehyung. You really are.
Kim Taehyung
And you’re smarter than you look, Namjoon. 😜 But don’t stress too much. Sometimes you just need a different perspective.
Kim Namjoon
Smiles Thanks, Taehyung. I think I needed that. You know, you’re pretty cool.
Kim Taehyung
I know. And hey, we should hang out more. I think we could learn a lot from each other.
Kim Namjoon
Yeah… I’d like that.
Namjoon looks at Taehyung, feeling an unexpected sense of camaraderie. They’re so different, yet somehow, they fit perfectly. Maybe, just maybe, this could be the start of an unlikely friendship that neither of them ever expected.
Chapter 3
[Group Chat: Underground Rappers]
Min Yoongi
Just got back from the rap battle. Still buzzing. 🔥
Jung Hoseok
Yoongi, my man! I saw your performance. You destroyed the stage! Your flow was on another level tonight!
Min Yoongi
Thanks, Hoseok. Didn’t expect to see you there. You’re more of a dancer than a rapper, aren’t you?
Jung Hoseok
True, but I appreciate good music, and I couldn’t miss your set. Plus, I’m trying to work on my rap skills. Might give it a try sometime. 😎
Min Yoongi
Oh? You think you can keep up with me, dancer boy?
Jung Hoseok
*Laughs* I might surprise you, Yoongi. I’ve got rhythm, after all. And a little something called stage presence.
Min Yoongi
Stage presence, huh? You think that’s enough? Rap is about emotion, grit, raw truth. Not just a smile and some dance moves.
Jung Hoseok
I know that. And I’ve got plenty of stories to tell, just like you. I’ve been working hard, practicing every day.
Min Yoongi
Practicing, huh? That’s good. But in the underground, it’s not about practice. It’s about living the life, feeling every word in your bones.
Jung Hoseok
And I’m here to live it. Let’s make a deal — next time there’s a battle, you and me, face-off. I’ll show you what I’ve got. 👊
Min Yoongi
*Smirks* Alright, Hoseok. Challenge accepted. But don’t cry when you lose. 😉
Jung Hoseok
Oh, I’m not planning on losing. I’ve got some fire of my own. And maybe… maybe we can help each other. You teach me how to spit verses, and I’ll teach you some killer moves.
Min Yoongi
*Thinks for a moment* You know what? That sounds interesting. I’ve always been curious about dancing, but never had the guts to try.
Jung Hoseok
Well, then, it’s a deal. Let’s push each other to the next level.
Min Yoongi
Alright. But don’t go easy on me, Hoseok. I hate being underestimated.
Jung Hoseok
*Grins* Wouldn’t dream of it. Let’s make some magic together.
As they close the chat, both Yoongi and Hoseok feel a spark of excitement. They’re from different worlds, but they share a passion for their craft. This could be the start of a powerful partnership — one that just might redefine their limits and open new doors they never imagined.
