I woke up my phone buzzing off, like vibrating on my bed. I yawn taking my phone off the charger. I must've set an alarm or something.

I slowly sat checking the time it was 6am. I sighed softly removing the covers off of me.

After going to the bathroom and brushing my teeth and washing my face, I tossed my hair up into a messy bun.

I walked out the bathroom, I quickly changed into boy shorts and a hoodie. I slid into some house slippers grabbing my phone, and walking out my room.

I opened the door to have the smell of something that smelt good cooking. I also heard conversation going on meaning the boys were up.

I walked out the long hallway turning into the living room to notice Taehyun and Jung-kook sitting on the floor playing with I'm guessing a video game.

On the couch was J-hope and Jin who sat there on their phones.

"Morning" the words came out my mouth causing the four boys to turn towards me.

"You guys breakfast is ready. Someone go wake Nor— the voice cut himself off, and I turned to see RapMon walk out with an apron on.

"Morning", I say greeting him.

"You slept well?", he asked.

I nodded slightly smiling. Which as the four boys walked into the kitchen area.

I didn't know why but I had already felt closer to RM then anyone else in the house. I mean I literally met these boys yesterday, but still.

"You hungry?"

I was brought out of my thoughts by my stomach groaning. "Starving", I say slightly laughing.

"Come" he tells me to follow him, and I did.

Following him into the kitchen and past it was this large dining table.

I noticed all six boys standing at the table, as if they were waiting for RapMon and I.

"Morning, Mani", Jimin greets me.

"Morning", I say greeting him back.

I noticed to empty spots, I'm assuming that's where RapMon and I sit. I follow behind RapMon going to the empty seat.

As them everyone began sitting, I began to take my seat.

Moments later the boys began eating and taking amongst each other, I felt so left out. I mean being the only girl and all, I mean I should have expected that tho. Right?

I felt my phone vibrate once again from inside my jacket. I pulled it out to see the caller ID was Brandon.

And growing up I was taught that it is disrespectful to be on your phone at the dining table when eating so I excused myself.

"excuse me", I say causing the boys to look at me in confusion as if the reason I was leaving was because of them.

I walk from out the dining room, and making my way to the living room to answer the phone.

"Good Morning" Brandon's voice said.

I sigh, "I was beginning to think you overslept. Anyway, in about ten minutes or so, Bang Si-Hynk is sending people to the dorm to do your hair, makeup and wardrobe for today's photoshoot", he explained.

"We still need to talk about this" I remind him that I still wasn't for joining BTS.

"We'll talk later.... I'm about to get into a very important meeting, so I'll see you after the photoshoot is done. Be on your best behavior. And remember this is for you. Not for me", he says before hanging up.

I literally wanted to rip my hair out and scream. None of this is about me because if it was I wouldn't be here. I would be back in America working on solo music. My solo music which if you ask me is pretty good.

I placed my heel before turning around and looking at myself in the mirror.

Suddenly there was a knock on the changing room door. "Come in", I say turning around as the door opened Tess the makeup lady entered.

"The photographers are ready for you", she tells me letting me know that it was my turn.

The boys took individual shots earlier, so now it's my turn.

"Thank you" I say following her out the room. Hearing my own footsteps was like music to my own ears. The way my heels clicked against the floor.

From the corner of my eyes I saw the boys standing there, most likely over looking the photos.

Jung-kook glanced up at me one time and didn't take his eyes off. "Oh my— wow", he says causing me to blush.

Is that even possible? Black people can't blush.

Also causing the other members to turn and notice me.

"Woah"

"Amazing"

"So pretty"

They were clapping and hyping me up, and I couldn't help but to smile.

I was then positioned in front of the screen and the photographer began motioning where I should go and what I should do.

"Alright, Normani.. give me sassy", he says before looking into the camera and snapping pictures.

I noticed the seven members walk out towards the photoshoot area to watch me more.

"Okay. I want to see a hair flip" the words were like already processed. Like you want hair flip, I'll show the best hair flip you seen in your life.

"Perfect. Now, I want to see sexy.. give me sexy"

I then began to give that innocent look I always give which somehow makes me look even more sexy because deep down everyone who knew me knew I was far from innocent.

I watched as RapMon bit his lip watching me.

"Alright. Start the music" the photographer shouts and suddenly one of Fifth Harmony's songs began to play.

"Worth It"

"Alright Normani... there are items behind you, pick any of them up and just do your thing", he tells me.

I turned around to see a beach ball, a bag of leaves, and fake money.

I squat down since I was in a dress picking up the bag of fake leaves, and walking back to the camera.

"Give it to me, I'm worth it", I mentally sang along before tossing the fake leaves at the camera putting on my best smile face.

"NICE! Perfect"

The music shut off. The flash of the camera lights were literally the most annoying thing ever but it going to be over soon.

"Alright. The rest of BTS join Normani" the photographer told the boys who came in front of the screen with me.

"Jung-kook and Suga switch places" the man says as suga was no longer standing next to me, Jung-kook was.

"RM move the right of Normani. Normani, you should be in between of Jung-kook and RM" he continues.

I watched as RM removed himself from the end of the line, and standing in the spot Jin was just near.

"Okay. On three. I need all of you guys to jump as high as you can"

I inhaled and slowly took off my shoes preparing myself.

"Woah- stop. What do you think your doing?", The photographer asked me and just me noticing that I had taken off my shoes.

"You said we were jumping. So I took off my shoes so I wouldn't hurt myself. Is there a problem?", I asked giving the man unintentionally attitude.

"No. But since you have... the other members must take off theirs as well"

I first off turn to RapMon who without hesitation bent down and began to untie his shoe meaning he was planning on taking them off.

The other members did the exact same thing.

"Okay? Ready. One. Two. Three"

On three, I jumped as high as I can forcing a fake laugh. All of this for a cover picture for the eight member of BTS. Crazy right.

"Alright everyone that's wrap. Thank you everyone for a successful photoshoot" the photographer says before taking apart the camera.

"Uh, I'm so hungry", J-hope says rubbing his stomach.

"Me too. I want shrimp", Jin says now doing the same action as J-hope.

"I want hamburger", V adds.

Were they going to argue over what they wanted to eat? I couldn't help but laugh at what I was seeing right now.

As I stood in the middle watching all bicker, I suddenly heard music playing. All of the boys suddenly looked around in confusion, just like I did.

"positions!" The familiar voice yell and suddenly the boys rush to a certain position in the room.

I stood in the middle holding up my heels unsure what the hell was going on.

I turned around to notice Bang Si-Hynk and Brandon walking into the photoshoot area, looking at us.

Now that the song was playing I recognized it was obviously BTS playing. The music stops and Bang Si-Hynk claps looking around the room.

"You guys took a long time to get in the position but you did it before the first verse started so good", he says clapping.

I look at him and then the seven boys behind me. "What about normani? What are we going to do with her position?", RapMon asks.

"Having her in the back would just make it look weird, so she's going to stay right where she is", he responds.

I look around noticing where exactly I was. In the middle. I don't want to be in middle. Put me like on the side where you can see me but I don't have that much attention.

"Oh, sir. That's not necessary. I'm fine with going off to the side especially if I don't know any of the moves or lyrics. Putting in the middle will bring too much attention to myself", I tell him.

"And that's why starting tomorrow at 4am each and every single one of you guys will be practicing the usual schedule 12 hours a day, leading up to your first performance as an eight membered group in one week", he says.

12 hours a day.

Hell to the nah.

12 hours a Day is literally half of the damn day. Who the hell practice's for 12 hours a day. That's so tiring.

"Our first performance?", Jimin asked looking around.

"Yes. The first performance will tell me and your fans how well you guys will do as an eight piece group", he explains basically putting all the pressure on me.

The boys know the steps by hard. I don't know any part of lyric or step meaning I'd have to work extra hard.

"After the quick announcement video you guys have the rest of the day to do whatever you feel like it. Got it?", Si-Hynk says.

"Yes", RapMon answers for all of us.

I look at Brandon and I couldn't help by think how I allowed him to be my manager in the first place.

I dropped my heels to the ground, and literally stormed towards him.

"Brandon. A word. Please", I say walking past him and going into the changing room where he followed me.

I slammed the door shut.

"What the hell is this? I did not sign up to join BTS. At first I wasn't fond with the idea but now I'm not okay with this. 12 hours a day? Who the hell does he think I am? A robot! This has to be one of the most stupidest- Brandon cuts me off..

"Normani, believe it or not you need this. You need those seven boys more then they need you. They already have a career. You're still struggling to maintain yours. This is it. If this doesn't work, your going to go to being know as "the only black girl from fifth harmony". Which if you haven't noticed isn't as big as BTS is or will ever be. I understand this may be different from what your used to or you are afraid but if you want this to work, your going to have work much harder, okay", he snaps at me.

I sigh looking down realizing he was right. They didn't need me. I needed them. Any girl or guy would be lucky to join such an amazing and powerful group.

Those seven boys out there are literally so kind and very accepting with the fact that there will be a girl in the group but here I am bitching because I don't want it.

"Okay" I breathed understanding what had to be done in order for this to work.

-

"one... two.. three"

The camera began recording. I watched as BTS sat next to eat leaving an empty space for me.

"Hello Everyone. As many of you guys have expected we have a new member joining BTS. No we aren't changing our name. No one is getting kicked out. We just thought it be time for a change. ARMYS out there... I would like for you guys to meet the newest member of BTS!", RapMon said reading along the lines of the cards.

As the boys clapped like the sign told them to do so, I put on my best smile and walked out onto the set where BTS sat.

"Hello!", I waved at the camera sitting down next to RM and Jung-kook.

"Hello everyone. My name is Normani some of you guys may know me previously from "Fifth Harmony" the American Girl Group who made hits such as "worth it" and "work from home". Also from my BBMA performance "LOVE LIES" with Khalid. As RM just said I am the eight member of BTS. I hope you guys will support and love me as you do for the other seven members. I can't wait for you guys to see what we have in store for you all", I say smiling as I then blew air kisses as made a heart with my hands.

"Also! Don't forget to buy your tickets for our Arena Performance coming up in one week!", V says smiling.

"I'm Rm"

"I'm V"

"I'm Jung-kook. International Playbook"

"I'm Suga"

"I'm Jin. Worldwide Handsome"

"I'm Jimin"

"Your my Hope. I'm your hope. I'm J-hope"

"I'm Normani", I waved at the camera.

"And we are BTS!" We all said in sync.

"Can't Wait to see you all! Love you!", Jung-kook says before the camera stops recording.

ship: NORJOON

Not the prettiest of ships names but these two together are so cute. The way he looks at her when she first comes into the camera and when she speaks he's so focus on her. Them together are a unbreakable duo. They both speak English very well. They look as if they already have some type of relationship together.

ship: JIMANI

Jimin looks like he's fallen in love. Ever since Normani's performance as the BBMA, Jimin couldn't help but like what he's seen. This duo seems like the type to play around and argue almost all of the time.

ship: SOOMANI

This ship looks like it's very entertaining ship. Suga who is always so mean and nonchalant, somehow looks like he could change his ways for this sweet girl. In the video you could see Suga smug turn into a smile when Normani enters.

ship: JUMANI

The two youngest members of group seem to be the only two people to get close together mainly because of their age. In the video Jung-kook couldn't keep his eyes off of Normani just like he couldn't when she performed Love Lies at BBMA. They're all already a thousands of memes around about Jung-kook reaction.

A/N: who do you think is the cutest ship with Normani?
