"hi!"

"When we go in there please at least pretend to be okay with this", Brandon says as we walk down the hallway following an intern.

I rolled my eyes, "that's the thing Brandon. I'm not okay with this", I whisper to him walking towards large door.

"Just make a left and it will be the door on your left. Thank you for joining us at Big Hit Entertainment", she smiled greeting bowing before walking away.

That's like the fourth time someone bowed at me like I was goddess or something. It was weird.

Brandon and I follow the interns instructions, and then approach the large door. Before knocking on the door, Brandon turned towards me, smiling ear to ear.

"Remember to smile", he reminds me for like the fifth time. I rolled my eyes turning facing the door, and forcing a smile.

After knocking on the door, Brandon slowly opened it allowing both him and I to enter the room.

Standing there was a man at the projector and BTS. My eye glance over to Brandon before turning back and looking back at BTS.

Holy shit.

BTS was standing in front of me. I've always been fans of there inspiring music.

Wait. Hold the fuck up.

"Hello. Come. Come.", the unknown man waved at Brandon and I, as I awkwardly followed behind Brandon who walked towards the man.

I turned to the seven tall Korean guys who stared me down. I swallowed hard unsure what to say to him.

Can they even speak English. I noticed a few of them whisper something to one another, I turn to Brandon slightly smiling ignoring it.

"Normani! Ah— I've heard so much about you", The man says reaching out his hand for me shake which I did.

"Thank you. Sir", I say not knowing his name. Our hands parted, "nonsense. My name is Bang Si-Hynk but the boys call me Si- Hynk", he says greeting me.

I nodded understanding.

Si-Hynk turns back to the seven boys who stood there awkwardly not saying anything.

"There not usually like this you know. I think you make them nervous", Hynk jokes causing me to fake laugh turning to one who caught my eyes the most.

The very attractive one. I mean there all attractive but jesus. He stood taller then the others, his different color hair.

Here goes nothing.

"Hi", I smile waving at all of them.

Seconds later they began talking, and smiling as me. I smiled softly, nodding.

"Boys introduce yourself", Hynk told the seven boys to do so.

"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm V but sometimes I go by Tae", I smiled as he gave me two peace signs.

"Wassup? I'm suga", he says very nonchalant. I could tell he was the rapper of the group.

"Hey, I'm Jin. Worldwide handsome", I almost let out a real laugh after hearing what he called himself.

"Hello there.. I'm Jung-kook. International Playboy", he waved with a large smile ear to ear, he was very cute I mean they all were but he was like a baby cute.

I turn to the one nice to the cute boy, "hi. I'm your hope. Your my hope. I'm J-Hope", he waved.

"Hello. I'm Jimin. It's nice to see you", he says smiling.

"Hey, I'm NamJoon also known as Rap monster but you can call me Rap Mon. I'm the leader of the group", the attractive tall with the deep voice one says.

I swallow hard. His English was very impressive. The others could speak English but not at well as Rap Mon could.

"Your turn, Mani", Brandon tells me.

"Hey.. I'm Normani. Most people call me Mani. But you guys can call me whatever. Mani or Normani either or is okay", I say letting all of them know what to address me as.

They nod understanding.

"Normani are you familiar with BTS?", the voice of Hynk asked me.

"Yeah. I listen to some of your guys music and it's really inspiring. It's really cool what you guys can do. I mean you guys are so talented. It's amazing", I say to the seven Korean boys standing in front of me.

"thank you", Jimin says nodding his hand and smiling.

"And you BTS? Are you familiar with Normani?", Brandon asked them, and they all replied with "oh's and yeah's".

"We watched uh— your performance at the BBMA's. Your dancing.. was wow. I was really impressed-ed", V says complimenting me in the most adorable way.

The way they tried to speak English was adorable.

"Uh- Yeah. Very good voice. Amazing", Jung-kook agreed with him.

"Thank you", I slightly smiled.

"I've heard that you were once apart of Fifth Harmony, and you helped create "worth it" and "work from home" with Ty Dolla $ign. You are a very excellent Songwriter.. oh, I can't forget about Love Lies, and Waves.... oh my god. You're so talented", Rap Mon complimented me.

"Yes. So good", Jin seconded that.

"Tell me where your love lies", J-hope begins to sing and dance to as the other boys except for RapMon and Suga hyped him up causing me to laugh.

Sugar rolled his eyes at them watching the boys make a fool of themselves, as Rapmon couldn't keep his eyes off of me.

Without even being in here from more then 5 minutes, I'm already answering all of everyone questions, when no one as yet to answer mine.

I turn to Brandon who was talking Si-Hynk. I then turned to back to BTS.

"so— normani? How old are you?", Jung-kook asked getting my attention but also somehow making all the attention turn on me.

"I'm 22", I responded and I kid not all of the them "wowed."

"W-What? Is that like... a bad thing?", I asked them all.

"No. It's just that... you don't look 22 at all. You look a lot younger", Rap monster explained.

"I know I get that a lot. How about you guys? I mean how old are you?", I asked them all wondering their ages.

"In Korea we are actually two years older then everyone else in the world", Rap monster said.

"Really?", I asked.

"Yeah... only if you were born in Korea though", he tells me.

"Oh", I say taking that information in. You see I didn't know that, at all.

"See my International age is 24 but my Korea age is 26. I just prefer to go by my international age. I think we all do. Right?", he says before turning back and asking the rest of the boys.

"Yeah it's much better", Jin says.

"That's cool", I say unsure what else to say.

"I'm 21", Jung-kook said smiling.

"I'm 26", Jin says.

26. What do they put in your water? He looks literally so young.

"I'm 23", Tae says.

"I'm also 23", Jimin says laughing.

"I'm 25", suga says.

"and I'm 24", J-hope adds smiling.

I nod. "You boys are so young and dominating the music industry. It's incredible. You guys are so talented", I complimented them.

"Thank you", Rap Monster responds to me.

"So? What do you think?", Brandon asked me.

I turned to him literally wanting to scold him, on the airplane right here for almost 7 hours I was told him what I thought. How much of a bad idea this was.

An American girl who only speak English in a Korean Group was never going to work. Not now. Not ever.

"I think BTS is prefect the way they are right now. BTS is known for seven members. So why add another one? The group is already doing amazing. Adding me would only jeopardize that", I told both Si-Hynk and Brandon.

"Yes. Seven Members. But only seven boys. Imagine being the only girl. You could open doors for BTS in the many countries that are fans of you. They could open doors for you as well. Think about it", Si-Hynk said really trying to convince that this was a good idea.

"I am thinking about it, Sir. I just don't see it working", I explain my honest opinion.

"She's right", Rap monster speaks out causing all of us to look at him. Almost all of the boys wanted to punch him for even opening his mouth, like they wanted me to join BTS.

"Say normani actually does join the group, what's gonna happen when all of millions are girl fans find out. They automatically hate Normani. I don't want her to go through that", Rap Monster continues.

Awe, he is so sweet.

I turned to Brandon, "and you know I've been through that before. I'm not going back", I say as serious as I could.

Brandon sighs.

"How about we make a vote. Those who want Normani to become the Eight Member of BTS raise your hand. Those who oppose don't raise your hand", Si-Hynk said.

They were so determined to have me in the group. Why me though? What was so important about me.

I mean I'm good, but I'm not good as BTS. Can't they find anyone other then me to do this.

"Okay. So who are for?", Brandon asked and then suddenly I saw almost everyone hands in the room raised except for Rap-Mon and oh of course... mine.

"So it's settled. Normani welcome to BTS" the words came out of his mouth and I stood there confused and unsure about everything that just happened in the past 10 seconds.

I literally said no.

"We will have the drivers show you to the dorms. The boys will inform you of our company rules. I'll have the boys walk you out, Brandon and I have a few things to discuss. It was a pleasure meeting you. I can't wait to see what you will bring to this company", Si-Hynk says grabbing my hand and shaking it.

I noticed some of the boys leaving the room, I turn to Brandon. "It's alright. I'll meet you downstairs", he tells me.

I nod turning to the door to see the only one boy left waiting for me which was RapMon. He held the door waiting for me to walk out the room, I did and followed behind me.

I walked down the hallway making my way to elevator, I swallowed hard.

What am I supposed to tell my parents? My family? They expect me to live here now. God.

"You okay?", RapMon asked me noticing I was a bit quiet.

"Yeah. Just thinking", I respond noticing the other boys were also waiting for the elevator.

"I know this may be confusing but maybe things are gonna turn out better then expected", he says trying to calm me which surprisedly was helping compress my nerves.

The elevator dinged and the six boys walked in, I walked to enter but it was full. Jung-kook smiled and waved at RapMon.

Before saying something in Korean obviously something they didn't want me to hear, causing all the boys expect for RapMon and Suga to laugh.

"Oh shut up", RapMon says to him as the doors close. I turn to the tall boy who stood over me, I looked up at him.

"What did he say?", I asked him wanting to know if his ass was talking shit or not.

"Nothing. Jung-kook was just being Jung-kook", he explains to me.

Seconds later, another elevator opened. Him and I entered the elevator, and stood there in awkward silence before pressing one of the buttons to head down to the lobby.

"You know why I don't want to be apart of BTS, but why don't you?", I asked him.

"Well to be honest... the ARMY our fans is made up 95% of girls, and 5% of males. Meaning if any of the 95% of girls have a problem that the eight member of BTS is a girl it will be a lot of problems. Like a greet and meets or our performances. Some of them will most likely hate you, and I really don't want that to happen to you", he says.

If that is true how is any of this going to work
