A somewhat cool breeze passes by, as Iron makes his way down the busy streets of Seoul. The day is brightly lit, with clear skies, and almost perfect weather on this early September day. He whistles quite cheerfully, greeting any stranger who makes eye contact with him, while on his way to the agency. Bag in tow, he whimsically swings it lightly, until coming to a stop as he's finally reached his destination.
Upon stepping inside, he hastily steps into an available elevator and continues to whistle on his way up to see his CEO. Making his way down the hall, a light swishing sound can be heard, as the polyester from his black and white tracksuit rub against each other with every step he takes. He knocks softly once reaching the main office, and lowers his eyes to the birthday cake within his bag and smiles.
The door slowly withdraws,and he peeks his head inside. The CEO greets him with a welcoming bow after standing up from a chair behind his desk. Iron steps in cautiously, bowing respectfully while doing so. His eyes roll to their side and fall onto a young dark haired boy sitting aside an empty chair across from the CEO.
His CEO motions for him to sit, with a simple gesture from his left hand, and the door shuts behind him. Iron turns back and greets the assistant who held it open for him before sitting in the available seat. He turns to his side and is greeted by the young boy, but instead of returning the friendly welcome he sharply looks toward the CEO with furrowed brows, while clutching onto the bag tightly in his hand.
Iron: "CEOnim, what's going on here? Who is this kid?"
Bang Si Hyuk: "Jung Hunchul, I would like to introduce you to Jeon Jongkook. He is the newest addition to--"
Iron: "no, you can't keep doing this!"
Bang Si Hyuk: "excuse me?!"
Iron: "you can't just keep chipping away at the foundation of what we've already built by these unwanted additions to the crew!"
Bang Si Hyuk: "I think you have mistaken the title of 'Leader' for CEO. I make the decisions here, you job is just to keep the boys in check."
Iron: "and on Namjoon's birthday?! You're just gonna' throw some kid into the mix because you can't make up your mind about what it is that you actually want!"
Bang Si Hyuk: "I think that it's time for you to go Hunchul. I'm going to blame this outburst on fatigue, so go home, and rest. When you boys come back here for mid day rehearsal, I'll expect you to be well rested and not so rude when you introduce young Jungkook here to the others."
Iron: "this is ridiculous, and you know it! I mean... Look at this kid, what the hell could he possibly know about real hip hop, and does he even rap? You can't just throw a snap back on some kid and think he's an instant rapper."
JungKook: "I don't know much, but I am willing to learn Hyung, and though my rapping may not be strong right now, my strong suit is actually my vocal ability. I am a vocalist, I am only just now learning how to rap properly."
He says in a almost silent whisper while hanging his head low, not wanting to make eye contact with him. Iron grows even more infuriated after hearing him speak and stands up sharply from his chair, toppling it over behind him. He stares intensely at the CEO and clenches his teeth. He points angrily at JungKook and speaks behind a tempered growl.
Iron: "a vocalist! A vocalist?! I was right, you really do just want an idol group. All of those lies you sold to Namjoon and I about being the future of hip hop was just bait... You're a ing fraud! This whole set up was a fraud!"
Bang Si Hyuk: "that will be enough! If you don't like the direction this group is going in, you can annul your contract and be free from it all."
Iron: "I'm out of here..."
Bang Si Hyuk: "Hunchul--"
Without any concern for what he is about to say, Iron storms out of the office and races down the hall, bypassing the elevator and making his way down the stairs, and out of the building swiftly, in one quick motion. His eyes fill with tears, as his face grows red with fustraion. He stops abruptly in the middle of the street and screams at the top of his lungs startling everyone in the process.
His hand clenches the bag even tighter before swinging it with full force downward, and slamming it onto the ground upon releasing it from his grasp. He shakes his head and breathes heavily as he heads back toward the dorm. The phone in his pocket rings repeatedly, but goes unanswered.
He reaches the dorm, and inhales deeply before stepping inside.
Leaning against the door from within the dorm room he takes in another deep breath before slipping off his sneakers and making his way toward the bedroom. He steps in quietly not wanting to awaken the other members, tip toeing toward Namjoon's bunk, and crawling into it gently. He practically hovers above him and shakes him softly while whispering "happy birthday" in his ear.
With eyes still shut, he cracks a smile while being shaken and turns on his back to face Iron before opening his eyes. Iron smiles back at him and looks around nervously at the other members still sleeping before he lowers and places a soft kiss on his lips.
Iron: "get up, and get ready. We're ditching practice today."
Rap Monster: "what time is it?"
Iron: "it's just about 12pm."
Rap Monster: "we all said we'd wake up by 2pm though. We practiced until 9 in the morning Hunchul. I'm still tired."
Iron: "I know, I know, but we need to get out of here. I have something planned for you."
He whispers to him, causing Rapmon to sit up in his bed and stare across at Iron as he motions back and seats himself at the foot of it. His arms stretch out, then cover his mouth as he yawns lightly while staring across at Iron who is just sitting there looking back at him.
Rap Monster: "we're going to get in trouble."
Iron: "no we're not. I already spoke to our CEO."
Rap Monster: "you did?"
Iron: "yeah, why else would I already be dressed this early? I just came back from the agency."
Rap Monster: "you weren't hot in that tracksuit?"
Iron: "it's your birthday, and since you bought me this for mine, I put it on. Hot or not, I was going to wear this today."
Rap Monster: "aww. Should we wake up the others?"
Iron: "no, I was only able to get us off for today."
Rap Monster: "oh..."
Iron: "now get up, and get dressed."
Rap Monster: "okay."
Rapmon slides off of the bed and stretches once again before exiting the bedroom. Iron remains seated and reaches into his pocket and grabs a hold of his phone. He sees several missed calls from the agency and sighs before placing it to his ear and listening to the voicemail left by his CEO.
Voicemail: "Jung Hunchul, I will not take the way you disrespectfully represented yourself and Bangtan Sonyeondan in front of not only Jeon JungKook, my assistant and myself lightly. If you do not come in today I will take that as your resignation, but if you do, expect there to be an example made out of you. This--"
Frustrated by not only his actions but the entire situation he hangs up, then shuts off his phone, before tucking it back into his pocket. He sighs heavily, his eyes survey the room then stops upon seeing Rapmons phone on the other end of the bed. Iron looks around once again and stretches out nonchalantly grabbing a hold of it and pulling it right off of the charger.
He stares down at it briefly then shuts it off before sliding it underneath the mattress. The door cracks open and grabs a hold of his attention. Rapmon steps inside quietly, towel wrapped snugly around his waist. Iron leans back and smiles, as Rapmon bashfully raises his arms to cover his bare chest.
He quickly gets dressed and the two make their way out of the room. His hands begin to pat at his pockets, he then turns back to head into the room. Iron grabs a hold of him and pulls him back by his wrist with raised brows.
Iron: "what're you doin'?"
Rap Monster: "I left my phone."
Iron: "you don't need it."
Rap Monster: "what if I miss an important call?"
Iron: "I'm here with you, who else are you expecting a call from?"
Rap Monster: "n-nobody I guess."
Iron: "exactly, come on. Let's go and start celebrating your birthday!"
Rap Monster: "you're being super sweet today... What did you do?"
Iron: "Aish! Can't I be the good guy on my favorite day of the year?"
Rapmon tries to hold back a smile, but it slowly pushes it's way forth, expressing the joy he is currently feeling. They motion toward the door, and Iron rushes to step in front of him. He reaches for the handle and holds the door wide open for him, and winks while watching him step out of the dorm.
Manager: "Hunchul, is that you?"
He murmurs, as he steps out from within the kitchen behind him.
Manager: "where are you going?"
Iron: "I uh..."
Rap Monster: "huh?"
Iron: "just wait for me downstairs, I have to use the bathroom."
Rap Monster: "okay."
He smiles softly, watching Rapmon make his way down the hall and stop directly in front of the elevator. Iron shuts the door and turns back to face their manager.
Manager: "who were you just speaking to?"
Iron: "I snuck a girl in to the dorm last night."
Manager: "Hunchul, seriously? You're already in a hot water, I just got off the phone with the CEO and he told me about what happened earlier today."
Iron: "yeah, I kinda'--"
Manager: "you've been missing rehearsals, choreo, and several meetings with potential prospects.
You're suppose to be setting an example for these boys, and yet you're the most out of control. What do you have to say for yourself?"
Iron: "I'm outta' here man..."
Manager: "if you leave--you can't come back. Please meet with the CEO and smooth this over."
Iron: "it was nice knowing you Manager Hyung..."
Manager: "Hunchul, please think about this."
He turns back to face the door and exhales deeply before he steps out. He looks back as it closes and waves sadly at the manager before the door shuts completely and separates the two. He sighs heavily and steadily makes his way down the hall, down the stairs, and eventually out of the building.
Iron stares from the doorway of the building and smiles softly, as he watches Rapmon just standing there, head raised and facing the sky. He steps from the building and stands beside him then raises his own head. The two stand there silently, Iron bumps his shoulder against Rapmons and chuckles lightly.
Iron: "what are we staring at?"
Rap Monster: "just appreciating the day, and staring at that weirdly shaped cloud."
Iron: "it's not weirdly shaped."
Rap Monster: "yeah, it is. It kinda'--it kinda' looks like a heart."
Iron: "really? I think it looks like..."
Rap Monster: "like what?"
Iron: "a shoe."
Rap Monster: "a shoe?! Noooo!!! It's definitely a heart."
Iron: "you're seeing things Namjoon."
Rap Monster: "maybe it's just wishful thinking."
Iron: "well, no need to wish about hearts in clouds when we have two of our own, right here."
Rapmon smiles then lowers his head to face Iron who is still staring up at the sky. He reaches over and tugs lightly on his track jacket, bringing his focus away from the clouds and back to him.
Iron: "are you sure it's not a shoe?"
Rap Monster: "no silly."
Iron: "hmmm. Okay fine, if you say it's a heart then it's a heart."
Rap Monster: "where is Hunchul and what did you do with him?"
Iron: "what do you mean?"
Rap Monster: "it's like you're a different person. So--where is he?"
Iron: "heh, why? Do you miss him?"
Rap Monster: "not at all."
Iron: "ouch!"
Rap Monster: "I'm kidding--I'm kidding."
Iron just stands there staring at Rapmon which causes him to back away with fluster, raising his hands in order to cover his now blushing cheeks. He laughs nervously, and Iron smiles back at him softly.
Iron: "I still make you nervous, eh?"
Rap Monster: "n-no!"
Iron: "it's okay, you make me nervous too."
Rap Monster: "I do?"
Iron: "yeah, but uh... Come on, let's start heading to the first location."
Rap Monster: "first location?"
Iron: "don't ask questions, just keep up."
Iron smirks before swatting at Rapmon's stomach with the back of his hand. Rapmon flinches, then raises his own hands to wrap around his mid section. He laughs under his breath as he watches Iron grab a head start and run down the street. He grunts playfully then follows behind, trying to run at the same speed in order to catch up to him.
Their pace eventually slows down quite a bit after running for several blocks. The two begin to walk, side by side, stealing glances and nervously laughing in between idle conversation. Their track of time is eventually lost until Iron stops in his tracks. They reach their destination, and stop just outside a building with a rather large awning which reads "Namsan cable car".
Rap Monster: "where exactly are we going?"
Iron: "don't worry about it. You trust me right?"
Rap Monster: "I'm... Not... To--"
Iron: "ouch!"
Rap Monster: "I'm kidding. Sure, yeah, I trust you. Of course I do."
Iron: "so come on."
A small crowd forms within and the two follow behind. The passengers shoot strange looks at the two which causes Rapmon to turn away and stare at the scenery as it passes by. Iron stands behind him and laughs softly in his ear.
Iron: "are you okay?"
Rap Monster: "yeah, just wondering why everyone is staring at us."
Iron: "have you not seen what we look like? I'd be staring too."
He shakes his head and smiles, staring at Iron's reflection in the glass. The cable car comes to a stop and they turn away from where they were and step out having reached the base of the"N Seoul Tower". Rapmon's eyes widen in amazement as he takes in the sights around him, Iron steps out behind him and places his hand on the small of his back and motions him toward a flight of steps leading further up the tower.
Rap Monster: "this looks beautiful."
Iron: "it gets better."
Iron rushes passed him and reaches the top of the stairs. Rapmon exhales softly as he slowly trudges up behind. He begins to look around and raises a brow, his feet drag onward till meeting up with Iron who has finally stopped walking.
Rap Monster: "w-what're we--"
Iron: "doing here?"
Rap Monster: "yeah..."
Iron: "well..."
Iron extends his hand outward toward their left, and direct Rapmon's attention to the many locks which surround him. He reaches out and grabs a hold of Rapmons hand, then begins to guide him toward a heart shaped bench, the gate encasing the area behind the chair garbed in a multitude of colors revealed to be just more locks.
The two sit beside one another and take in the scenery with smiles splashed across their faces. Several couples walk by and laugh to one another, staring at the two young men seated on one of the several slanted benches. Iron reaches carefully into his pocket and retracts it, with a tightly held fist. Rapmon bites down gently at the corner of his bottom lip, and Iron slowly opens it to reveal a blue lock in the shape of a heart.
Rap Monster: "what is this Hunchul?"
Iron: "you mean to tell me that you don't know where we are?"
Rap Monster: "n-no, I know where we are. I guess this explains all the weird looks we've been getting."
Iron: "bingo!"
Rap Monster: "so what are WE doing here?"
Iron: "we are here to set this thing of ours in stone, so to speak. We are here to declare that this right here... Is forever..."
Rap Monster: "Hunchul."
He says with a hint of laughter. Covering his mouth and blushing face with with the back of his hand.
Iron: "yeah?"
Rap Monster: "what exactly is this that we're setting in stone? We aren't exactly a couple."
Iron: "heh... Well, do you see this here, this blue heart?"
Rap Monster: "yeah."
Iron: "do you know the meaning behind a blue heart?"
Rap Monster: "no. I can't say that I do."
Iron: "well... When you think of a heart, the first things that you th
