"She isn't coming, she is?" Jung-Kook asked the rest of the boys from BTS as they were backstage of their collaboration concert with the members of Got7.

"She'll be here" RM says confidently as the producer handed each of them their mics.

The boys had been working with Got7 despite their many differences. They also have been trying to contact Normani since her departure.

After NamJoon told the truth about his feelings about Normani, it was clear to the rest of the boys why NamJoon and her had been acting the way they had.

Normani and NamJoon has feelings for each other, but yet refused to be clear about it. I mean there is obviously a connection between the both of them. Normani was closest to RM since her arrival in BTS.

"And if she isn't. What are we going to do?" Tae says looking around to six of his members.

"What you've been doing for the past 7 years. You all perform even if you are a member short. If she shows, she shows. If she doesn't, she doesn't. Those people out there aren't just here for her, they're here for all of you", the voice of Brandon says walking towards the group with Got7 right behind him.

The boys of BTS turned to the members of Got7.

"We'll be fine" BamBam assures all the members of both groups.

"Alright. It's show time people!" One of producers clapped, meaning it was time for the boys to take they're position on the stage lift.

Moments later, all of the boys were brought onto the stage hearing the voices of what felt like millions screaming there name, chanting on both groups.

RM, Suga, Jackson and BamBam stood the same stage lift as their intro music began, the lights hit the stage and the crowd went crazy seeing four of the rappers from both groups.

"KOREA!" RM shouts into the mic causing the crowd to scream.

"HOW YALL FEELING TONIGHT!" Jackson shouts as the screams of the fans instantly got louder.

The other stage lifts brought up the rest of the members from both of the groups, the boys stood at sectioned off area off the stage the screams intensified.

But you could tell a few in the audience were confused on where Normani was.

They boys stood there as smoke lit up the entire stage. The boys stood in confusion unsure what was going on because they weren't expecting smoke.

The main stage began to move up, and the intro began to play but different. The song "The Boys" By The worlds best girl group Girl Generation began to play.

"Yo? What's going on?" J-hope asked turning to Jimin who he stood next too. Both of the boys from Got7 and BTS looked at each other in confusion.

"I can tell your looking at me I know what you see, any closer and you feel the heat" the song blasted through the speakers of the arena.

The fans screams intensified once the stage lift stopped.

There Normani stood back faced to the crowd. The audience already knew who it was by the shape of her body, and color of her skin.

She turned around and glanced at the crowd, "boys" Her seductive voice said in the microphone causing the audience to scream at both her appearance and arrival.

"BRING THE BOYS OUT!" Normani shout into the mic, as she walked down the stairs, walking in the middle in between both groups. All of the boys stood in shock, none of them really thought she'd show up.

Only RM.

Normani began to strut towards them, "you ready?" She asked the crowd, as they screams.

She stood between both groups, as their song began to start.

"Hard Carry, ah!" The members of Got7 sang.

"FIRE, oh!" BTS sang.

-

I was the last to exit off the stage, I waved to the crowd and blew a kiss for the last time, and walked down the stairs that led to a overcrowded back stage.

I turned in my microphone and sound pack to the producer before walking to the fitting room.

After speaking to Lauren she helped me realized a few things that I should have realized. BTS is a team. A team is a group of people who help each other out, and support everyone no matter what.

BTS have always been accepting and supportive of my arrival since the beginning. They all adapted to me despite already being a group for almost 7 years.

I needed to apologize to everyone of them. They didn't deserve me walking out on them, specially RM.

After exiting the fitting room, I walked out to see Brandon leaning against the wall as if he'd been there waiting for me.

Which he was.

"That was brilliant. You showing up unexpected and the intro song. A very smart choice" He tells me causing me to nod.

"All of the boys are in the lounge room. They are off for the rest of day, unfortunately for you the days you missed you will have to make up. So after this you have another photo shoot to go to, and a meeting with Bang Si-Hynk and some producers" he informs me.

"Okay"

As expected.

"Should I get the car?" He asks me.

"Yeah. I just have to talk to the boys for a second" I tell him.

"Alright. I'll be outside. Don't be too long"

I nod, walking towards the lounge room where the noise had seemed to be the loudest. I swallowed hard before slowly opening the door.

I looked to see the seven boys looking at the screen, which displayed our performance that we just did.

Most of the boys were cheering, and hitting each other. Then there was me. On the stage.

I never watched one of my performances like this. I looked amazing. The way I was so confident and the way the fans screamed for me.

I watched as I walked down the stairs going between both boy bands.

I cleared my throat to announce my presence. It didn't take long for all of them to turn to me, I couldn't help but smile nervously at them.

"At first I didn't think you'd show up but I'm glad you did" J-hope says causing me to look at up him.

"We're all glad you did" Jung-Kook added.

I walked further into the room awkwardly, going to them, as the seven of them looked at me.

My eyes look to the one who I had the most to say too, RM.

Before any of them could say anything, I did the unexpected. I bent forward with my head down, I learned that this was a way of greeting in Korea, but it was also a way of an apology.

I exhaled deeply, "I'm so sorry. I should've never walked out on you guys. All of you have been accepting, patient and supportive towards me since the beginning, and I apologize. Please forgive me" I say quickly, but hoping they hard me.

"Normani" the voice of Jimin says as he placed his hands on my shoulder, mentioning for me to stop bowing at them.

I slowly stood up straight, looking at him.

"It's okay" his words calmed my nerves.

"No it isn't. We are a group. A team. Your not supposed to walk out on— RM cut me off, "we aren't mad at you, Normani. You had every right to feel the way you did. About everything" he tells me.

I couldn't help but think that he wasn't just talking about me almost wanting to leave BTS but also him. And us.

RM approached me slowly, looking back the boys who all looked at each other in confusion before walking out the room leaving just RM and I.

The air.. the tension. Was THIC.

Him and I haven't been alone in a long time, and last time we were.... let's just say it ended in a awkward kiss.

"You're not just one of the guys, Normani" his words were soft, and calm as he placed his hand on my arm.

I look up to him. Laughing hysterically.

"What are we even doing?" I asked him unsure about any of this.

"I don't know. But what I do know is I like who I am when I'm with you. I feel things I shouldn't feel about you and it sucks because I don't know if you feel the same way"

Was it not obvious?

Literally, even lauren knew I was feeling someone in my group. He has to know.

"You think I don't feel the same way? NamJoon when I'm around you, everything is perfect. I'm happy. I get nervous and very awkward when I'm around you. If that isn't enough information to tell you that I feel the same way I don't know what is" I explain causing a smile to form on his face.

"So what now?" he asks me.

I arch my eyebrow in confusion.

"I mean what are you gonna do about our situation?" He asks before rubbing the back of his head.

"Situation? Is that what we're calling it?" I asked him.

More like complication. In order for it to be situation, it would have to be something short-term and easy to fix.

This was not a situation.

"You know what I mean? Do we move on from here? Or going back to the way things were before?" He asks me.

I'm not going back to that awkward puppy love crap. If i wanted that, I would've gone back to high school.

"How about you kiss me again, and let's find out" I smirk softly, biting my lip as I pulled me by my waist, pulling me closer to him.

Our lips were so close to touching when the door opened, I quickly distanced myself from RM, not wanting whoever was about to walk through the door get the wrong idea.

BamBam enters, and his eyes automatically went to me.

"Hey. I was looking everywhere for you" he tells me basically interrupting NamJoon's and I moment.

"Well, you found me" I say awkwardly forcing a fake laugh.

"Oh, sorry. I'm not interrupting something am I?" He asks pointing to both RM and I who were just literally about to kiss.

Yes.

"No. I was just informing Normani about BTS's schedule for tomorrow" RM pauses after answering BamBam's question.

"So I'll see you later?" RM continues causally as if we were really talking about BTS's schedule.

"Yeah" I nod before watching him walk to the door, and past BamBam. NamJoon exits the door leaving BamBam and I alone.

"So what's up?" I ask him awkwardly.

"I wanted to say thank you"

"Thank you?" I asked in confusion.

Why was he thanking me?

"You've done something all of the members of Got7 including myself could never do in the last 7 years" he explains approaching me.

"Which is?" I asked frowning my brows.

"You ended the BTS & Got7 feud. I don't think any of us would have been able to go up on stage with them if isn't for you" he tells me.

"It wasn't just because of me. You guys also made that possible, so give yourself credit"

He nods softly.

"I have to go but I'll see you later?" I asked making my way to the door.

"Wait, I have to ask you something"

Great? What is it?

"Sure. What's up?" I asked him turning around.

"Understanding how much the boys of BTS hated me, I didn't understand why you didn't. I mean I'm sure they've told you the things I used to do, and what I almost did. But why didn't hate me?" He asks me.

It sounded like he almost wanted me too.

"You never gave me a reason too" I confess honestly.

He nods processing my response.

He softly smiles, "You have a good heart, Normani. You see the good in people, even when there is none. Don't ever change anything about yourself", he tells me looking directly at me.

Was he implying that he wasn't a good person or something?

I look around awkwardly, "thanks. I guess" I say before walking to the door.

That was weird.

I sort of got the feeling that he was either flirting with me or actually being serious.

What if he was both?
