It's the year 2015, and you're a 16-year-old girl living in Los Angeles, struggling to find your place in a city full of both opportunity and prejudice. Your family, originally from the Midwest, moved to LA for your father's job, and you've spent most of your time keeping to yourself—until one day, you find yourself in a coffee shop near your school. That’s where you first spot Kim Namjoon, a rapper who’s just arrived in the U.S. with BTS to attend a promotional event.

Till then, BTS wasn't famous, so they were brought to LA to enhance dancing skills and learn the lives of people. Namjoon was tasked to distribute ricecakes to Americans, a mission that he had to complete.

However, things take a dark turn when a drunk, older white man starts making racially charged comments. The man accuses Namjoon of "taking jobs from Americans" and goes further, belittling him for his accent and appearance. Namjoon, who’s clearly shocked but trying to stay calm, is confronted with this hostility in a foreign country that should be welcoming, but isn’t.
