Chapter Text
Namjoon POV
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can now exit the plane. Have a nice day in Los Angeles, California," the flight attendant said, everyone standing from their seats and grabbing their carry-ons to unboard the plane. I turned to my left to see Jin waking up Yoongi from slumber. "I'm so tired, hyung," I heard Jungkook whine from his seat behind me. I let out a sigh as Jimin said, "That's what you get when you decide not to sleep in a 12 hour flight, stupid." I stood up and grabbed my backpack from the shelf, tossing Jungkook his so he'd stop arguing with Jimin. Hoseok and Taehyung stood up to get their carry-ons as well, accompanied by Si Hyuk-nim. He looked at his phone for a second as we all made our way out of the plane terminal, to the seating area. "The girl says she's sitting around here already. Keep an eye open, and don't pass to baggage claim yet. There are ARMYs there and security isn't out of the plane yet," said Si Hyuk-nim. We all nodded and dispersed, looked around for her.
You see, back in early September, we received an audition from a girl. Obviously, it wasn't the first audition we've received from a girl uninformed that Big Hit became a company just for males, but Si Hyuk-nim was intrigued that it was the first audition we've gotten from Latin America, so he decided to listen to the audition. Her name was Anna, she was sixteen years old, and she auditioned in two categories: vocals and rap. She sang 'Think of Me' from the Phantom of The Opera, and rapped 'Heavy Dirty Soul' by Twenty-one Pilots. That day Si Hyuk-nim called us to his office to hear her audition tapes and see a picture of her. We were with some trainees, because he wanted to know wether to allow her in the company or not. The meeting lasted three hours with debates and questions, but she was finally allowed in. Even if she was in the other side of the world, we managed to keep track of her vocalization, and we wanted to integrate her into Bangtan. At first, Si Hyuk-nim thought we were crazy, but we wanted to expand the ARMY and have more variety in the group. However, her parents didn't want her to travel all the way across the world to a country where Anna didn't have the security to be around, not to mention quitting school mid year, but after much pleading, Si Hyuk-nim got them to agree, and now we're meeting her here in LA, but she'll leave to her country afterwards to finish the semester, then she'll move to South Korea with us. We've decided to introduce her at the Ellen Show and at the AMAs.
"Excuse me, um..." I heard a girl's voice behind me say. I turned around to meet a teenage girl, about 1.64 meters (5'4), with brown hair and blonde highlights. She wore a simple white t-shirt, jean shorts, and red converse. She held a red backpack, a pair of black rimmed glasses resting on her face, resting over faint freckles on her cheeks. She looked to be a bit shy as she tried to find the words to use. I chuckled and smiled at her. "You must be Anna, right? I'm Namjoon Kim. Nice to meet you." She smiled at me and bowed, the which I returned. When she smiled, one dimple could be seen on her face, on the left side, and I thought it was kind of cute. "Please follow me. Si Hyuk-nim and the others are waiting for you," I said, motioning to where the others were looking. She nodded and followed close behind me, walking towards Jin, Yoongi and Hoseok, who were looking around together. "Hyung!" I called out to Jin, making him look to our direction. Anna was standing aside me, doing a small wave at him. He alerted Yoongi and Hoseok, and they all walked towards us. "Good, you found her. The others are waiting over there," Jin said, pointing behind us, to a bench close to the baggage claim area. Yoongi approached Anna, who bowed at him. "Hello. I is Yoongi, a rapper. I hope get along well." He bowed and gave her a small smile, which she returned. Hoseok then decided to step in as well. "Hello I am J-Hope, and I'm your Hope!" She chuckled and bowed again towards him. Jin bowed and asked for me to introduce him, so I did. "I'm Anna Rosas. Very nice to meet you, and I look forward to working with you," Anna said to all of them. I translated just in case, and they all nodded their heads. "Let's go," I said, offering my hand to Anna. She took it with a smile and we all walked to where the others were.
"We're back!" Hoseok exclaimed, scaring Taehyung. Jimin laughed, but soon stopped and cleared his throat when he saw Anna. Si Hyuk-nim wanted us to be in our best behavior when we met her, to give a good impression. "Hello Anna," Jungkook was the first to speak, "My name is Jungkook. We soon be friends." He finished with a smile, and they both bowed at each other. Jimin stood up from his seat and extended his hand for her to shake, which she did. "Is Jimin and I hope to friend you," he said. She nodded and smiled at him. Taehyung bowed and introduced himself as well. "Nice to met you. I Taehyung." Anna introduced herself once again, a smile across her face. She was surely happy to be with us today. Si Hyuk-nim then stood up and started to talk to Anna about what we were going to do here in LA. "Hello, Mr. Si Hyuk," Anna said with a bow. Si Hyuk-nim bowed back and smiled at her, saying, "We're glad that you've made it. Now, I will give you some instructions for you to follow very specifically, okay?" Anna nodded her head, giving a short "Okay," in response. "You will change to your long jeans and beanie in the bathroom, then we'll go get the suitcases in baggage claim. The bodyguards will make a sort of barrier to let us pass through the crowd, so be careful and try not to fall behind. Do not reveal yourself to the ARMY, alright?" Once again, Anna nodded and scurried to the bathroom. I turned to look at my brothers and smiled. "She seems nice," I said. "Yeah. You think she likes Nintendo?" asked Jin, making my eyes roll. "She looks like a nerd. Not that I'm complaining," said Yoongi. "Honestly, I think she's great!" exclaimed Taehyung. "I hope we made a good decision," said Hoseok. I nodded, saying, "I hope so too. Let's just wait to find out." In a matter of minutes, Anna came out of the bathroom wearing a pair of jeans and a beanie over her head, hiding her hair. Si Hyuk-nim nodded in approval, leading the way towards baggage claim.
Yoongi POV
Once we passed the doors, we rapidly got our things, just in time to be recognized and bombarded by the ARMY. I didn't expect this many fans to show up just to the airport. We walked between a tight space, since we were trying to walk towards the entrence, but the multitude wouldn't allow us to move rapidly. Soon, they all started pointing at something, whispering at each other. I turned to see Anna was falling behind us, and people were taking pictures of her and asking her why she was with us. I saw her trip a bit, making her fall behind even more, a girl from the crowd managed to take a hold of her beanie, taking it off, revealing her true identity. Some of the girls started to pull on her hair and try to grab her, but I walked towards her and side hugged her, guiding her to the exit, hurrying up the pace. "Cover your face," I commanded. She raised her right hand to her eyes and covered her face like I told her to, the left hand dragging her suitcase. We were the last ones inside the limousine, settling in our seats. "Are you okay, Anna?" asked Namjoon, moving to sit aside her. "I'm okay. Thank you for worrying, Namjoon-a," Anna responded. I turned towards Namjoon and said, "She isn't fine, she got her hair pulled. From what I saw, it must have hurt a lot." Namjoon looked at Anna again, saying, "You sure? They pulled your hair." Anna unconsciously reached a hand over her head and rubbed it on her scalp. "It's okay. I have aspirin." "Can I have one? I have a headache as well..." Namjoon said. Anna smiled and nodded at him, opening her red backpack. She took out a few pills from a small first-aid kit and handed him two pills. Both of them downed the pills without any water as if it was nothing.
"Anna, we're going to the Microsoft Theater to practice for the AMAs, where you'll make your debut with the boys. Afterwards, you'll go grocery shopping for your stay." Si Hyuk-nim stated, gaining a nod from the brunette. "Yoongi, you totally cared for her back there," said Hoseok with a smile. I cleared my throat and looked around my head for a reply. "Well, I wasn't gonna let her practically die back there. Speaking of which, you all ditched her back there. Mind explaining?" Everyone looked at each other, except for Anna, who was answering a phone call. "Si Hyuk-nim was hurrying us," said Taehyung. "Hey, we stopped for a photo for the paparazzi. I think you were helping Anna by that time though..." Jimin said, trailing off the conversation. I turned to look at Si Hyuk-nim, who was sitting in the back of the limousine with some papers, trying to fill them out. "Anna, what's your full name?" asked Si Hyuk. Anna turned to him, still on the phone, and replied, "Anna Marie Rosas Ramirez," she responded. Her name was pretty, and the way it rolled out of her tongue was even nicer. "Are we performing Mic Drop or DNA?" asked Jin, interrupting my thoughts. "We're performing Mic Drop and DNA at the Ellen Show, and Mic Drop Jimmy Kimel Live. The rest is DNA," answered Jimin, unlocking his phone to get into social media. "Woah! Anna is all over social media!" he exclaimed. "Is she now?" asked Si Hyuk-nim, putting down his papers and taking out his tablet. Everyone did the same, and when I logged into our account, the top trending hashtag was #REMEMBERTHE8THMEMBER. When I clicked on it, a bunch of posts appeared with blurry pictures of Anna and I going through the airport.
"You look cute in this one," said Taehyung, handing me his phone. The picture had me side hugging Anna, her hand down, in which you could see both our faces. I was kind of pissed at Taehyung for being so cocky, but I let it slide and said, "At least they caught my good side." I glanced at Anna, to see she was also looking through the hashtag on twitter. "Do you guys do this on purpose?" she asked, showing us a few pictures of our photoshoots, with red circles indicating where the 'forgotten 8th member' should be. "Nope. That was actually just pure coincidence," explained Namjoon. She laughed a bit and nodded in understanding. I locked my phone once I was done looking through social media and became bored rather fast. Jin was looking at cooking shows on YouTube, Jungkook and Jimin were playing a ninja game on their phones, and Taehyung and Hoseok were up on Instagram looking at memes. I turned to look at Anna, who sat aside me, who was doing nothing but looking out the window, so I decided to start a conversation the best I could. We had gotten extra English classes so we could answer more things in the interviews, but also mostly because Anna spoke English. "You bored?" I asked her. She rapidly turned her head to look at me and nodded. "I've been meaning to ask, Yoongi-ya, what other instruments do you play besides piano?" she asked. I smiled a little and answered, "I don't know many others, but I'm learning to play the guitar." She smiled at me and said, "Me too. My brother was teaching me." No one ever told us she had a brother before, just that her parents were really strict.
I felt a hand on my shoulder, so I turned my head to look at the person, who turned out to be Jungkook. "Stop trying to flirt and get up. We're here," he said to me, repeating the same to Anna. I got out on the limousine frst, to see we were in the parking lot. Our staff came out of the car, saying that the AMA reps wanted to shoot promotion photos in the parking lot. I sighed and let them do their work. "Hello! AMA! Woah!" I heard Hoseok exclaim once he got out of the limousine. I could see Jimin shaving his chin while his stylist held a mirror for him, Taehyung was getting his hair combed and parted, and Jungkook was getting some eyeliner. The others were behind me, so I couldn't see. My stylist, a woman named Ji-hye, came towards me with a toothpick and a mirror. "Here," she said, handing me the toothpick. "I saw you eating chips in the plane. You know those get stuck to your teeth, Yoongi-ssi," she scolded. I sighed and looked to the mirror she held, cleaning my teeth. I could see Anna in front of me, not knowing what to do until an assistant stylist walked towards her. I over hear them speaking English, to which the woman introduced herself as Mi-ran. She started putting some eyeshadow on Anna, and by the time I was done, everyone was ready for the promo pictures.
Anna POV
The entourage is massive; I lose count in the mid-thirties. There are managers, publicists, a choreographer, a masseur, an interpreter, groomers, folks with cameras, unsmiling guards and several drivers with earpieces all around us. Mi-ran, my new stylist, had called upon the closest unoccupied member she could see, who happened to be Jin-a. They spoke for some few seconds, then Min-ju said, "Anna-ssi, you'll follow Jin-ssi around for the shoot, unless Si Hyuk-nim tells you other wise, okay?" I nodded and thanked her, taking a glance at Jin-a, only to see that Mi-ran had disappeared somewhere. I was honestly scared, since I had never been to California before, much less without my parents, but this was a new experience I had to get used to, because in less than three months, I'd be performing with the boys and moving to South Korea without them. I gave Jin-a a smile and slightly bowed. "Less go, Anna. The otters are waiting there," he said, pointing to a part of the parking lot where the rest were at, starting to pose. Jin-a and I started to walk towards them, where I accidentally locked eyes with Jimin-a. I tried to look away to find a spot where I could stand aside them, but Jimin-a called me before I could get to it. "Anna, stand here!" he exclaimed. I nodded and walked towards him. He was now wearing a cap that said "BTSxAMAs" on it. I stood aside him, who put an arm over my shoulder, Hoseok, who was standing on my other side, also laid a hand over the opposite shoulder. A bunch of the photographers and publicists were asking who I was by now, and the person in charge of the AMAs promo shoot stopped the racket so he could talk to Namjoon-a.
"Who's that girl? If she's a relative, she has no reason to be in the pictures," the man said. Namjoon-a was taken aback by the question, so Jungkook decided to answer for him. "She's new member of Bangtan," he said. The people's racket came back, this time asking much more questions. Si Hyuk talked to everyone about it, and told them to keep it as a sort of secret until it was revealed completely, and the man in charge of the promo agreed to include her in the pictures for the awards ceremony. We all posed back to where we were and everyone took pictures. The man in charge of the promo took a picture of each of us individually as well, and in no time, we were finally allowed inside. I was walking aside both Jin-a and Jimin-a, who were talking with each other as well, when my phone rang. I took it out of my back pocket and looked to see it was my dad calling. It was approximately 9:00am here, so it'd be 1:00pm in my home by now. I rapidly answered the phone in my mother language, Spanish. "¡Hola papá! Ya entré al sitio del ensayo," [Hi dad! I just entered the place for the practice,] I said. "Okay. ¿Cómo te fué el viaje? ¿Ya estás con el presidente ese? ¿Etas con los coreanos raros esos?" [Okay. How was your trip? Are you with that president guy? Are you with those weird Koreans?] he asked. My dad wasn't very fond of K-pop, nor of the decision mom and I took of coming to L.A. then moving to S. Korea without my parents. He didn't really trust Si Hyuk that much. "Sí, el viaje estuvo bien, estoy con Si Hyuk y con BTS. Son cool y hasta ahora soy un pequeño misterio para las redes sociales," [Yes, the trip was fine, I'm with Si Hyuk and with BTS. They're cool & up to now I'm a little mystery in social media,] I responded back to him, rolling my eyes. I followed Jin-a and the others to a spacy room we would use for practice. I sat on one seat while I talked with my dad.
I heard him sigh at the end of the line. "Esta bien. Tu mamá me dijo que ya habló contigo sobre todo lo demás, así que te dejo. Escríbeme todos los días y si algo pasa. Te quiero." [Okay. Your mom told me she spoke with you about everything else, so I'll leave you to it. Text me everyday and if something happens. I love you.] I smiled and said, "Yo también te quiero. Bye." [I love you too. Bye.] And with that I hung up. I turned to put my phone in vibrate and inside my bag, and when I turned around, the boys were all looking at me. "What language was that?" asked Namjoon-a. I remembered I didn't tell them I spoke Spanish, though I thought it was obvious since I come from Latin America. "Um, Spanish," I replied. All their mouths made and 'o' shape and they talked among themselves or simply laughed. "Did you practice DNA and MIC Drop like Si Hyuk-nim told you to?" asked Namjoon-a. I nodded. "I just have minor doubts, like when I change position and what lines I'll be singing." They all smiled at me, Hoseok-a and Namjoon-a turn to talk to each other, Jungkook-a and Jimin-a joining in as well. I turned to look at my bag for a moment. I was feeling nauseous because I had only ate a pack of chips when I boarded my first plane, so I needed to eat something. I looked inside my bag, looking around it to find some crackers I had. I looked under my folded pair of shorts, around my first aid kit, under my 3Ds. I couldn't find them. I then decided to look behind my Damian book, so I took it out my bag and I found them. Right when I was about to put the book back inside my bag, Taehyung-a took it from me.
"Chu read this book?" asked Taehyung-a. I was at a loss for words for a few seconds, but then I responded, "I'm actually half-way through it. I read slowly." He smiled at me, putting the book inside my bag, allowing me to close it. I faced the others, who were still talking, and opened my pack of crackers. I offered some to Taehyung-a, who took them and ate them peacefully while the others spoke. I think they all finally came to an agreement, since I saw them nodding their heads at Namjoon-a. I crumbled the now empty cracker pack and threw it away, everyone approaching me. "Anna, we'll start practicing now. Jiminie and Hoseok-hyung will help you with changing positions, and Jungkookie and Taehyungie will tell you your parts. Now, let's get to practice, okay?" Namjoon-a explained. I nodded, and got to practice. After an hour, I had the choreo for DNA and MIC Drop both down. Si Hyuk called in a break of dancing so the boys could teach me my parts singing. I walked over to a vending machine in a corner of the room to buy water, just behind Namjoon-a. When he turned around, I glanced at his face, to see he had a red substance sticking out of his nose. I bought my water fats, walking towards him. "Namjoon-a! Namjoon-a!" I called him. He turned around with a smile, but frowned once he saw my worried expression. "Is something wrong, haksaeng?" he asked. "Namjoon-a, I think you have Jetlag. You're bleeding from your nose,", I said, handing him a napkin from my nearby bag. He cleaned his nose and thanked me when I gave him another one, which he kept on his nose. I told him it was no problem, and walked towards the maknae line, who were all calling me.
I had bonded well with them all while dancing for the past hour, and we shared alot in common. Yoongi-ya was currently studying literature in the university, along with music, something I've wanted to do since I was small. Jin-a loves food and cooking, as well as I do, and I drooled over his Nintendo Switch earlier when he took it out to play and I took out my 3Ds. Namjoon-a and I shared a love for spicy food when he opened a pack of jalapeño crackers and I asked if I could have one. He actually gave me another pack and we ate happily while we watched Jimin-a and Hoseok-a rapidly running to drink water. Taehyung-a and I ended up singing a mashup of Fire and Ice-cream Cake at the top of our lungs, causing us to be scolded by a guard. Jungkook-a saw my drawing notebook in my bag and asked to see it, then he showed me his. He's extremely talented. Hoseok-a taught me how to properly do my dance moves, and we've both been denominated the most cheerful of the group. Jimin-a and I were making jokes whenever we got a chance in between dance breaks, and I guess he knows my dark side as well from the jokes he threw that I laughed at. I walked over to the maknae line, a.k.a. Taehyung-a, Jimin-a and Jungkook-a, who were all sitting on the floor with some papers in hand. "I'm here~!" I said cheerily, kneeling on the floor in their small circle. Jungkook-a handed me the papers he held, which some parts were highlighted in pink, English words scribbled over some of them. "Namjoon-hyung and Yoongi-hyung worked on it together for you. It is your lines," said Jimin-a. I smiled and looked down on the papers. I knew these lines, and the English lyrics were easy to remember. "Can you sing it?" asked Taehyung-a. I nodded, and hummed over the parts I had to sing while the rest sat on the floor with us. Then we started to practice.

Jimin POV
We had finished our practice way earlier than expected. Anna's singing was wonderful, and she managed to keep up singing in the choreography as well. "Anna is so talented," commented Taehyung, taking a sip of his bottle of water. "Yeah. I think we're really lucky to have her in our group. What do you think, Jiminie?" asked Jin-hyung. I nodded and said, "She's incredibly talented. I hope she can catch up with us soon." The two boys agreed with me and we kept enjoying our break. Maybe we'd get the rest of the time off, since we have to go shopping. I sat on the floor and let out a sigh. I saw Yoongi-hyung talking to Anna, again, on the other side of the room. "What's so interesting that they've been talking for a while now?" I asked no one in particular. "Turns out Anna wants to study literature like Yoongi-hyung, so they've been talking about this assignment Yoongi-hyung has," responded Namjoon. "Oh," I said, sitting up. Someone knocked on the practice room door, and one of our bodyguards opened the door. A man wearing a black polo shirt that said 'AMAs Staff' on the side came inside the room. "BTS, it's lunch time. Please move to the catering room," he said. "Okay. We'll be right there," Namjoon-hyung responded. We all stood up on our feet and gathered together. Anna walked beside me and Namjoon-hyung, whom she handed another napkin to for his bleeding nose. She turned to me and gave me a smile, moving to adjust her glasses a bit. I put an arm over her and said, "Welcome to Maknae Line, Anna!" She giggled, and I heard Taehyung and Jungkook laugh from behind us. "Jimin, no. She's not getting involved in your silly games," Namjoon said. "Plus, she's part of the rap line!" exclaimed Hoseok-hyung. "And the pervert line," I added with a grin. I heard a few gasps from behind me. "Jimin you did not," I heard Namjoon-hyung ask. My smirk grew as I walked aside Anna, my arm still on her shoulder, pulling her close to me. "Park Jimin you did not test her with your dirty jokes!" exclaimed Jin-hyung, catching up with Anna and I, standing in front of us. "Oh I did. But she's still somewhat innocent," I responded, looking down at Anna. She looked up at me, and I could see she was confused. "What...?" she asked, confused.
"Don't pay attention to him, Anna. Let's go make the line to eat," Namjoon-hyung said, taking Anna's hand and dragging her off to the catering table. Jin-hyung and Yoongi-hung both glared at me, but I shook it off, heading up to get food with them following behind. They were giving out hamburgers and fries from McDonald's, as well as salads, chicken tenders, etc. I took my food and sat at the table that was designated for us. As I made my way through the tables, I noticed there was a small stage and an karaoke machine in a corner, in which a wavy haired woman was standing on. I sat aside Anna and Namjoon at our table, and started to eat my food. I heard a gasp from Anna as the music from the karaoke machine started to play. I looked at Anna, only to see her with wide eyes and a smile looking at the woman. I guess she was a fan. "You're her fan, Anna?" asked Taehyung, who was seated at her other side. Anna nodded, taking a bite of one of her chicken nuggets. "That's Alessia Cara. I really like her songs," Anna said. After a while, Alessia was done singing and we all finished eating. A familiar song started to play and when I looked at the stage, there he was standing with a huge grin. Shawn Mendez. I speed walked from the trashcan towards our table. "Jungkookie-!" the maknae cut me off with a hush. He too was looking at the stage, with the rest of the guys. Anna's eyes were also glued to the stage as he sang 'drag Me Down' by One Direction. I sat back in my seat, not believing that I was watching one of my favorite artists perform on stage. His performance ended a little too fast, but as instinct, we all started clapping, which caught his attention. He smiled our way and called out, "Hey! BTS!" We all looked at each other and waved towards him, smiling. I can't believe he noticed us.
In a matter of seconds, he spoke again. "I'm a huge fan of you guys, and we recently heard that a new member was debuting at the AMAs. Why don't we hear him out along with a vocal companion?" I looked at Anna, who had a pink blush on her face. I grinned and grabbed her by the wrist, standing up with her. I saw Taehyung pout, so I called him to follow us. At the end, I ended up on the stage with Anna and the rest of the vocal line. I handed Anna the microphone, giving her a smile as I did. Jin ruffled her hair as Jungkook put a hand on her shoulder. As she was about to speak, I glanced forward, and saw that all the performers were there, looking at us. Christina Aguilera, Alessia Cara, Alesso, Kelly Clarkson, Florida Georgia Line, Selena Gomez, Niall Horan, Imagine Dragons, Nick Jonas, Khalid, Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato, P!nk, Portugal. The Man, Diana Ross, Hailee Steinfeild, watt, Zedd and of course, Shawn Mendez. "Hello," started Anna, nervousness drenched in her voice. Some of the female performers smiled at her, urging her to continue. "My name is Anna, and I'm the new BTS member. Um... I'm still new to performing in front of crowds, so I'm a little shy. I just wanted to say that I admire and look up to a lot of you present here today. I wish you the best of success in your careers and best wishes." Everyone applauded and thanked Anna on her wishes. Jin passed out microphones to each of us as the track we were gonna sing started playing. We were singing 'Little Things' by One-Direction.
Camera POV
Jungkook:
Your hand fits in mine
Like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind It was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots
With the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me
Jimin:
I know you've never loved
The crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved
Your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
Jungkook and Jimin:
But I'll love them endlessly
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you,
Oh it's you,
They add up to
I'm in love with you,
And all these little things
Jin:
You can't go to bed,
Without a cup of tea,
And maybe that's the reason
That you talk, in your sleep
And all those conversations
Are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me
Taehyung:
I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still have to squeeze into your jeans
But,
Taehyung and Anna:
You're perfect to me
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true,
It's you,
It's you,
They add up to
I'm in love with you,
And all these little things
Anna:
You'll never love yourself
Half as much as I love you
You'll never treat yourself right, darlin'
But I want you to,
If I let you know, I'm here for you,
Maybe you'll love yourself,
Like I love you Oh
Taehyung:
And I've just let these little things
Slip, out of my mouth,
'Cause it's you, oh it's you,
It's you,
They add up to
And I'm in love with you,
And all these little things,
All:
I won't let these little things
Slip, out of my mouth,
But if it's true,
It's you, it's you,
They add up to,
I'm in love with you,
And all your little things
Hoseok POV
They all sounded wonderful, and I surely wasn't the only one to think that way, because every artist in the room stood up to applause. "They're really good," Namjoon said. I nodded. "Very good. I still can't believe we've made it this far," said Yoongi. I nodded. "We're gonna get more fans with Anna along with us. She's so talented!" I commented, gaining nods from both of my hyungs. After a few minutes, we were all urged back to our practice rooms along with everybody else. "Ready to leave?" asked the main bodyguard. "Uh, let me ask Anna," I said, walking towards the brunette girl, who was putting her stuff in her bags. "Anna! We're gonna leave now," I said. She nodded and finished packing her things, walking with me towards the door. We walked behind everyone towards the parking lot, and I held her hand as well. I know why Yoongi developed such an attraction to Anna. She gives off a pleasant aura around her, and she's very nice. "Will you sit aside me, Anna?" I asked her with a smile. "Of course, Hoseok-a," she smiled. We got inside the limousine, and like she promised, Anna sat aside me, Yoongi in front of her and Taehyung on her other side. the idea was to keep Jimin as far away from her as possible. "We're going grocery shopping, so here," Namjoon passed us our face masks and we put them on. Anna didn't need one just yet, since no one technically didn't know her. "Can I leave my backpack here?" asked Anna, motioning under her seat. Jin and Namjoon both nodded and told her it was okay.
Anna is a vey patient girl. I came to this conclusion when we were at the supermarket. Jungkook, Jimin and Taehyung were running around the establishment, chasing each other. Jin was pushing the grocery cart, while Namjoon was on his phone and Yoongi was looking and yelling for the rest of the maknae line. I was walking aside Anna, helping her with things that were high up on the shelves. She had a list of things on her phone as she walked, probably the grocery items. "Alright. Let's start with the meats and poultry," she said with a sigh as the maknae line caused Yoongi to yell at them again. We haven't even started shopping for food and he's already yelled at them three times. We followed Anna down the many isles of the store, arriving at the freezer area. She got whatever food we needed in order to survive and we soon left to continue shopping. Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook were getting unbearable by the minute, and before Yoongi could yell at them again, the short brunette opened her mouth. "Kim Taehyung. Park Jimin. Jean Jungkook. Stop it this instant." The cute and nice brunette was now giving off a scary aura, one of which Jin smiled upon. I looked at the three boys, who, in fear, moved to silently walk behind us. Who knew this blue eyed angel could be so scary?
"Hoseok-a, could you reach that up for me?" Anna said, pointing to a vinegar bottle that was way out of reach. i smiled and extended my arm, getting it and putting it on the shopping cart, which was now full. She then turned to us with a smile. "I think we're done here." We started walking towards the check out line when Namjoon recieved a phone call. "Hello?.... When? right now?.... Anna as well?.... Okay Si Hyuk-nim. We'll be there." We all turned to look at our leader for any news. "We have a last minute interview with a low life radio station in an hour. Boss wants us to be there ASAP, although Anna can't go. She'll be dropped off at the hotel," Namjoon explained. We al looked at each other, then at Anna while Namjoon explained the situation to her. At the end, she smiled and said, "It's okay! While you're at the interview I'll make you dinner." We all agreed, if she was okay with it, and helped buy all the things. Jin swiped the company's credit card and bought everything while the three troubling maknaes carried everything to the limousine. People stood and watched as we loaded things into it, up until we all got on. We all sat the same way we were sitting when we got out, except, our main bodyguard, Youngjin, and another bodyguard I had never seen before were sitting at the back. "Oh right! Anna, this is your new bodyguard. He'll be in charge of looking after you," said Namjoon. The new guy gave Anna a grin and bowed. He didn't look Korean though. "Hello, Miss Rosas. My name is Damian Han, your new bodyguard. If you ever feel uneasy or need anything, please talk to me."
Anna smiled at Damian, and I could already feel everyone's jealousy kicking in, even mine. How does Si Hyuk-nim dare to hire an attractive bodyguard?! Youngjin looked out the window and whispered something to Damian. I turned to Anna and asked, "Anna, lend me your phone?" "Sure" She answered, handing me her unlocked phone. I went into her contacts and typed in my phone number with the ID tag "Hobi". I also typed the rest of the members' IDs. "Joonie", "Motionless Min", "Mr. Nintendo", "ChimChim", "Tae" and "Kookie". I handed her phone back, which she started to laugh when she saw what I did. I had also favorited them so they'd appear faster. "Miss Rosas, we're here," said Damian as he opened the door for her. "See you later, boys," she said as she gave each of us hugs. She grabbed her backpack and we all let our a chorus of, "GOODBYE ANNA!". Even Yoongi exclaimed her farewell. She was a very sweet and kind girl. I can't wait to get to know her even more.
Anna POV
The bodyguards all helped me get the groceries out of the car, and Damian kindly led me to our room. It was in the first floor, and it was pretty huge. it had two rooms with two sets of bunk beds each room. It had a kitchen, living room, dining room and three bathrooms, as well as one big walking closet for all of us to share. Each room had two vanities as well, so we'd have to share the space. I laid the groceries on the counter top to go outside to help get the rest of the things in, getting weird looks from a few teenagers that walked by. "Where do I put your luggage, Miss Rosas?" Damian asked. "Um, in any room it would be fine. And please, you can call me Anna," I said. His smirked and walked towards the room on the right side, setting my only suitcase on the bottom bunk. "Miss Anna, we the bodyguards sleep in the hotel room on the right, while the managers and Mr. Si Hyuk stay in the left room." Damian motioned to two doors that led to the other hotel rooms. Each door was placed on each side of the room we were staying in. I smiled and nodded. "Okay, Mister Damian. Do you know by any chance at what time the boys will arrive?" I asked, putting away the groceries. "Let's see, it's 2:30pm, so approximately at around 4:30pm," Damian said, helping putting the canned products in the cupboard. There was a comfortable silence after, the only sound being the rambling of plastic bags as we emptied them. When we were done, I looked back to contemplate what I would be making for dinner. "Miss Anna, I'll be in the room if you need me. I have to make dinner as well," he said, opening the door and disappearing from this room. I sighed and opened the fridge, deciding to start making dinner.

"We're home!" I heard Namjoon exclaim as the front door bursts open. I put the last of my things in the bottom of the vanity and exit the room, to see the boys all laying on the couch, exhausted. "Welcome back. I guess it you're hungry?" I asked, gaining from them a twinkle in their eyes as they raced to sit on the table. I rolled my eyes at their childishness and walked towards the kitchen, serving the food on plates and giving it to them. "Thanks for the food!" all of them exclaimed, setting a smile on my face. Hoseok-a and Jin-a stuffed their faces with food, glimmering in their eyes. I noticed that Yoongi-ya and Jungkook-a both ate pretty slow, but I was just glad they enjoyed the food. "It taste glory!" exclaimed Taehyung-a. I giggled and said, "Thank you. I already ate, so I'm going to take a shower. If you want seconds, there's more on the microwave." They all nodded and continued to eat, while I made my way towards the room I was staying at. I opened the drawer that contained my things and took out some undergarments and a pair of leggings, then in the closet, I took one of my sweatshirts and headed to one of the bathrooms. It was pretty cold inside, so I took a warm shower and dressed in my clothes. The bathroom was pretty big and classy as well, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I was really tired. Twelve hours of flight can really kill a person. I got out of the bathroom all dressed and walked to the room I was staying at. I saw Yoongi-ya sitting at the bottom bed of the bunk bed opposite from the one I chose, and Jin-a on the top bunk of mine. Yoongi-ya was already showered and he slept peacefully while Jin-a played in his Nintendo Switch, showered as well. "I'm going to sleep now. Good night," I said to Jin-a. He paused his game to look at me and nodded. "Good night," he responded back. I smiled and got inside the covers of my bed, drifting off into sleep.
