《The 8th Member | BTS》|9|

"BTS!" The screams from the fans from outside the limo shout loudly. I look over to RM who was struggling to fix his tie as it was not tied properly.
The limo came to a stop, and the door opened. Me being the closest to the door, I stepped out first.
Before I could even step onto the ground I was immediately blinded from how many people were taking picture and flashes.
"NORMANI!" Voices shout from everywhere.
I slightly smiled and waved, waiting for RM to get out of limo.
Seconds later he climbed out the limo, and stood there smiling for the pictures. I walked towards him, noticing his tie was about to fall off when I held him.
RM lean down allowing me to fix his tie, and the fans screamed loudly. So many photos being taken on me helping him.
"NORJOON!" Fans shout our famous ship name. I turned after finishing smiling at the camera.
After every member exited the limo and walked down the entrance, we were rushed to the red carpet for interviews and red photos before being seated.
I sat in between Jung-kook and RM watching as the other members played to see who could flip the bottle the best.
I laughed watching Tae fail miserably. He was so determined to beat Jung-kook score which was 14.
I turn to RM who sat nodding his head to the music that was playing.
"You okay?" I asked noticing he was awfully quiet. I hadn't seen him so quiet for that long.
"Don't you worry about him. NamJoon always gets like this at every award show because he knows she's most likely going to be here", Suga answers for him.
She. Who is she?
"She?", I asked.
Suga was about to respond when I notice RM move and suga then let out a grunt in pain. "Ow" he says meaning RM had obviously hit him also meaning whoever this "she" was... he didn't want me to know.
I nodded turning to Jung-kook who was laughing at Tae and J-hope battle who could make the most bottle flips.
Within in hour they're had already been 3 performances. Our time to perform was coming up sooner then expected.
"Give it up for BLACKPINK!" The spokesman said as the audience, BTS, myself included clapped.
I watched a four girls were brought up from a stage left, the fans in the audience screams.
Who were they?
The music began, and they started preforming.
"BLACKPINK!" They shout into their mics in sync before dancing.
I nodded my head to unknown music pretending as if I knew exactly what they were saying.
Jung-kook nudged me causing me to look at him. He leans to my ear and whispers, "that the girl who used to date NamJoon" he smirks before pulling away and motioning to the girl in the very short skirt and blonde hair.
She was pretty.
"HIT YOU WITH THAT DDU-DU DDU-DU", the four girls sang together in sync before dancing.
I swallowed hard. Why did Jung-kook have to tell me that as if I cared or anything. I mean I did but at the same I didn't. It wasn't my business to care.
It wasn't like I liked him or anything.
After a couple of minutes the performance was finally over. I began to clap applauding them for there amazing performance.
I turned to see Jimin talking to Jin, and Suga looking smuggest as always. RM eyes met mine.
"You ready for today's performance?" He asked trying to make conversation.
I nodded without saying a word. I didn't know what to say to him. I was more focused on the thought that this was happening.

"Here are the nominees" the spokes says a screen displayed the nominees for Best Solo Artist In A Group.
"Lisa From BLACKPINK"
The audience myself included clapped. Lisa was very popular here and very pretty. Of course RM dated her. I mean if I was a guy I would to.
"Sans From TWICE"
I looked around clapping for these artists I didn't know much of. I should start learning more about the culture here.
"Minah From GIRLS DAY"
I turned to Jung-kook who noticed I was confused on who she was.
"She's from the girl group that made "something"," he explains causing me to nod.
"Hani From EXID"
I clapped.
"Oh. Wow.... Normani From BTS"
My mouth dropped, the camera quickly turned on me. I looked at the boys who clapped at me. The ARMY in the audience screamed once my name was even mentioned.
Jin and Jimin were smiling ear to ear. Suga was nodding and clapping. J-hope was dancing to the music. Tae and Jung-kook were literally nudging me, and Rm couldn't but help laugh at me by my reaction.
I didn't know I was even able to be nominated for something like this.
"Yuju From GFriend"
The audience clapped.
"The Award For Best Solo Artist In A Group Goes To..." The spokesman's began opening the envelope.
I turned to RM, "what time do we— "NORMANI KORDEI FROM BTS!" The voice shouts in the microphone causing the audience to scream and clap.
My name. I won. The award.
What? How was this— I didn't even think I could be nominated let alone be the winner.
Before I even realize it I was on camera, I turned to RM quickly looking at him in shock.
The boys stood up causing me to get up and look at them in confusion. "Go!", RM smiles at me telling me to go the stage clapping along with the audience.
I confusedly got up from the table, passing other artists and groups unsure why or how I even won this award to began with.
I walked up the stairs to the stage carefully making sure I didn't trip. God knows how many times I almost busted my shit in these heels.
"yeah!" I hear a very proud RM shout as they boys congratulated me. I walked to the spokesman's who held the award.
"Congratulations, Normani" he says handing me over the award.
"Thank you" I say thanking him before holding on to the surprisedly heavy award.
I turned to the audience and there was a lot more people then expected. I walked towards the mic and the audience quiet down for me for me to speak.
"Woah— there... there's a lot of people in here", I say nervously before making the audience laugh a little.
"Come on, Normani!" Tae says encouraging me.
I smiled nervously looking down at the award then back up to the audience. The boys smiled at me like they were proud at me like I was there child, and I won the award for best student.
"I don't even know what to say... this is amazing" I began finally unwanted tears form in my eyes.
Not again. Good.
"you don't understand how much this means to me..... oh my— um- First off, I want to thank Bang Si-Hynk for trusting me to be apart of something that is so amazing", I continue tears about to fall.
"Secondly, I want to thank my parents. Look mom.. dad... I'm famous" I pause causing the audience to laugh.
I then continue, "Thank you for sacrificing everything you ever gotten for me to be where I am right now on this stage", I say now my tears escaping my eyes.

"Lastly, I want to thank those seven boys sitting right there", I pause feeling myself fall apart... the audience claps... "you guys are the best thing that has ever happened to me... thank you for believing in me, supporting me and trusting me", I cry out.
The audience clapped, as the boys waved at me. RM was the only one who blew kisses at me.
"And ARMY you guys made this possible!", I shout causing the ARMY in the audience to scream.
I step away from the mic, crying uncontrollably. This feeling was amazing.
The audience clapped for me waiting so I can continue.
"Mani! We Love You!" One fan shout causing me to laugh.
I inhaled and exhaled deeply, stepping back towards the mic, wiping my tears getting into a sassy bad bitch mode.
"and a message for all my haters out there" I pause looking around, "I have so much more for you guys to mad at. Just be patient", I said causing the audience to scream loudly.
"Thank you" I ended my acceptance speech walking away from the mic. The spokesperson guided me off the stage and back stage.
I didn't want to say all that but I'm glad I did. My haters and those that didn't approve of me needed to know I was here, and I was here to stay.
(Normani's Outfit For "Blood, Sweat and Tears")
After changing into my stage outfit, I rushed out the dressing room quickly zipping up my boots.
"30 minutes til BTS" the producer told me. I nodded understanding that meant I needed to find the boys.
I walked out the room walking down the hallway walking to the room BTS was assigned too.
"Hey, can one of you guys sip me up" I ask walking into the room, pulling on the back of my outfit that I couldn't sip myself.
I looked up to see one boy. He wasn't BTS. But he was very attractive. God was very Kpop Male Idol Fine or attractive?
He looked at me, mouth dropped at my leather and barely covering skin outfit.
I swallowed hard.
"I- you aren't BTS", was the only thing I could say. He smirked swiftly wiped the bottom of his lip seductively.
"No. I'm not. But it seems as if you are. Normani, right?", he asked knowing exactly who I was.
I nodded. "I'm BamBam From Got7" he says before placing out his hand for me to shake.
"nice to meet you" I say.
"Same here. Congrats on your award by the way" he said.
"Thanks", I say thankfully.
He noticed I was still holding the part of my outfit that needed to be zipped up.
"You need some help?" He asked pointing over me my outfit.
"Yeah... can you?" I asked turning around lifting up my hair, feeling him zip me up. I sighed in relief turning around to him.
"Thank you" I say nodding awkwardly. I didn't know what to say.
"I have to go find my group but it was really nice meeting you" I tell him.
"Same here. I'll walk you out. I have to find mine as well" he tells me walking to the door. Before I could open it, I was stopped once feeling him place his jacket over my shoulders covering my body.
I turn to him confused. "You shouldn't walk out without a robe" he explains. Without a word leaving my mouth, him and I left from the room looking for our groups.
"so you're the eighth members" he says making conversation.
"Yea" I say awkwardly looking around for any sign of the boys. I mean he obviously knew this. Everyone did.
"It's a shame"
"What is?", I asked as he got my full attention.
"Got7 was looking for an eighth member as well. Too bad you joined the wrong group" he smirks.
Was that supposed to be shade or something?
"I have the feeling the you and my boys aren't close?" I ask.
"Close isn't the word. Got7 has our reasons not to like the boys of BTS" he responds causing me to stop in my footsteps.
Oh I know the answer to this. Maybe it's because BTS & Got7 are like the same. Each group have 7 members. It's just BTS is better.
BTS was dominating globally while Got7 was only known in one country. Now that's a shame. Besides Anyone who didn't like BTS didn't like me.
"Which are?" I asked crossing my arms.
A cocky smirk appeared on his lips, "you're a feisty thing aren't you?", he asked.
I arched my eyebrow. Feisty?
Okay.
"I'm sorry?"
"It's adorable. You being protective about them. If anything I find it very attractive" he says being so blunt.
"awe, thats cute. In order for me to be protective towards them, there'd have to be a threat" I paused before sizing him.
"But I don't see one", I sassed.
His mouth dropped from my slick comeback, I smirked and to walk away when he grabbed my arm turning me back to him.
I gasped when my entire body pushed up against his. I looked up to him to see him smirking down at me.
"Where have they been hiding you all this time?", he asked referring to the boys.
Before I could say anything, I was interrupted by hearing Jin's voice.
"There she is" he pointed me out to the other members to approach BamBam and I quickly.
They were all dressed and looked as if they were waiting to go on stage.
I immediately created distance between BamBam and I not wanting any of my members to get the wrong idea.
But it was kind of already too late when they saw how close him and I was. I looked to BamBam who smirked looking at my 7 members.
Everyone's expression was unreadable, everyone expect for RM. You could tell he was furious.
"Where were you?", RM asked not even acknowledge BamBam who stood next to me.
I swallowed hard.
Before I could answer BamBam answered, "with me" he smirked.
Why did he have to say it like that as if I was actually with him doing stuff. Literally we were just talking. He was one flirting with me, and flashing his fuck boy smile.
"I'm sorry. I don't think he was asking you" Tae spat directly at BamBam.
"But I answered anyway. She was with me. Is that a problem?" BamBam respond. I watch as Tae went to step forward when J-hope grabbed a hold on to his arm.
Okay. Was I missing something?
What was the beef between Got7 & BTS.
All I know the air was THICK.
"No. No problem at all", J-hope says speaking for Tae who wanted to say everything other then that.
The tension.
"And what are you wearing?" Suga pointed out that I was wearing BamBam's jacket over my stage outfit.
I looked down, quickly taking it off, and turning to BamBam. "Uh— thanks for letting me wear it", I say reaching out to hand it back to him.
"Keep it. I promise you it won't be the last time we see each other, maybe I can get it back then", he says eye my body like I was sweet candy.
Meanwhile the boys were watching this entire thing.
"See you around, Normani" he says seductively biting his lip walking past both me and the boys.
Jung-kook let out a sigh before turning to Jimin, "I swear I could take him" he says to Jimin who rolled his eyes at Jung-kook stupid response.
"Why were you with him?" RM asked me.
"It isn't what you think. I guess I walked into the wrong room, expecting it to be you guys and it wasn't. Then I came looking for you guys", I explain.

8 13750 And Above
A collection of short stories ranging from comedy to sci-fi, from horror to psychological...in short, a plethora of genres. A few short stories are as short as 50 words. And some...with over a few thousand words (Not to worry! Those ones will be divided into a few chapters!)But never will any of the stories have less than 50 words! In short (pun intended!), ranging from a tidbit for those who just want to take a short break to a hearty breakfast for those who want a full-fledged 'short story', there is everything! Author's Note: Hello everyone! I actually wrote the part written below as a post-script in a pre-chapter author's note in the first chapter! I should have written it here! Well, here goes! I'll update a story every Mon, Wed and Fri...well, as many stories I have right now. If I write more (when I have the time since I have to devote time to my other fiction "A Student...Like You"), I'll post those new ones then!
8 144Beyond the Bridge
There are many worlds, many multiverses, and you can move between them via the Federation's Bridge network - magical gateways to other worlds. The world dubbed "C'thon" by its inhabitants - or Gamma-Theta-Nu-649, if you ask the Federation's bureaucracy - was deserted when the Federation found it. The "civilized" races had all died out centuries prior, and the wilderness had grown downright feral in their absence. Now, the lonely Federation outpost of Bridgetown is under constant threat from the hungry wildlife, malicious fey, territorial goblins, and wandering undead that surround it. The town's distance from the Federation's centers of power means that it gets precious few of the resources that it needs to stay safe and afloat. Enter the Guild of Adventurers, a plucky and disparate crew who do the Federation's dirty work in exchange for coin. One team, the first of many, crosses the Bridge to C'thon looking for fame, fortune, and (if they're lucky) the answer to a newly-discovered Prophecy. They'll get much more than they bargained for, although first they need to avoid being eaten by the local wildlife. Updates weekly on Wednesday. Chapters will be as long as they need to be for them to work, which means they can vary. If anything drops below 2500 words, I'll post an extra chapter if I have one ready. [PS: This is not a litRPG, but I do borrow heavily from TTRPGs for inspiration, and the general setting and storyline is from a TTRPG campaign I'm running.] [PPS: This is my first attempt at writing long-form fiction. I'm not trying to make a great piece of literature or have a multi-novel overarching plot, but hopefully it'll still be a fun story - let me know what you think in the comments.] [PPPS: Cover image is from a free-download wallpaper by Tyler Edlin; I do not own it, and will take it down immediately if requested.]
