《The 8th Member | BTS》[38]

"normani... normani" The voices of annoying reporters and interviewers shout my name trying to get attention surrounding me quickly.
Moments ago I was exiting out of the car with the members of BTS, and now I was separated from them.
I've always been used to the spotlight but not anything like this. In America they knew to ask questions and take pictures from a distance but these reporters didn't give any fucks.
They literally invaded my personal space, and cause me way too much anxiety. I swallowed hard trying to catch my breathe as there felt like there wasn't a wait out of the toxic and loud shouting crowd.
"Any comments on RM & BlackPink Lisa's fake relationship?"
"Who is he really dating?"
"Are you and BamBam a thing?"
"Did you actually have sex with the rapper Jay Park"
The voices of multiple reporters asked me surrounding me. It was like I was suffocating and couldn't think straight.
I looked around for my members and they were literally no where to be found. I felt myself being pushed towards the group of reporters, I turn around to see some man in a black hoodie.
I didn't much see his face, the only thing I would see was the tattoo on the side of his wrist. He walks past the crowd of people ignoring the fact that he pushed me.
Probably to get through.
"Alright. Back up. Back up" I hear a firm voice say coming up from behind me.
I sighed in relief, it was Sean and two guards who shielded me from the annoying and over barring reporters.
I stood in the middle of my driver and the guards as they escorted me outside to inside.
Once we entered the large doors, I felt like I could finally breathe. "Where'd you go? I thought you were right behind us?" NamJoon asks me.
"She was stuck in a crowd of annoying fans. That's what happened. If we didn't show up she couldn't gotten hurt" Sean tells them.
"What?"
NamJoon responded quickly.
"You guys should to be more careful. We aren't home, things here are different meaning all of you should be on high alerts" Sean tells all of the members.
We weren't home. We were in Japan. To promote BTS's music and new music coming soon. We were in works of having a world tour, but it was still undecided.
We were staying at a hotel for a couple of days until we were done promoting in Japan. We all had one room and stayed on the same level with maximum security.
"Meaning if you go somewhere you leave in pairs with extra amount of guards" Sean tells us.
I nod.
As a lady in a works outfits and black heels walked towards us with greeting smile.
"와우! 환영합니다. 내 이름은 김진진. 나는 일본에있는 동안 당분간 여행 가이드가 될 것입니다. 좋아, 처음부터. 얼마나 많은 사람들이 유창하게 일본어를 이해하고 말할 수 있습니까?"
She said causing me to turn to the translator, Kim NamJoon himself. I was still struggling to learn Korean, I didn't understand a word of what this woman was saying.
I turned to NamJoon, as all the members except for me raised their hands. I was so confused.
The girl looked at me and smiled.
"나는 그녀가하지 않는다고 생각하고있다" she says causing Jung-Kook to laugh as they look at me.
"Her name is Park So-Jin. She is going to be our tour guide for us for the time being in Japan. She wanted to know if we were fluent in Japanese" NamJoon explained to me causing me to nod processing.

"Oh" I say.
I turn to the lady, "제 이름은 Normani입니다" I paused trying to speak Korean and was obviously failing.
"I-I'm...a... singer. This... group... I belong with" I say trying to explain to her. The members either chuckle or smile at how determined I was.
She laughs, "hello, Normani. Who is a singer and belongs with this group"
I felt stupid.
She could speak English.
"You understand English?" I ask her.
She nods. I laugh at myself feeling embarrassed.
"Buts it's cute you made a effort" she smiles.
"Alright. If everyone could follow me, I'll take you guys to the stage where you all will be performing" she says turning around.
We began to follow her. "N-n-normani" Taehyung jokes causing the members to laugh, I knocked that laughing smirk off of his face when I punched his arm.
He scolds me, and I stick my tongue at him smiling evilly.
-
I yawned loudly before walking out of the bathroom and placing on my knee heel boots, I bent down zipping each on up.
For our first night in Japan, the boys decided to go out to eat, and then afterwards to some club.
I of course had to be dragged along, despite being tired I was happy for this opportunity with the boys.
"Hurry up" I hear Jimin's voice from outside my room door say knocking on my door like he's been doing for the longest.
I sigh before my phone and walking towards the door opening it to see him and Jin already dressed and waiting for me.
"What took you so long, man? We're hungry" Jin frowns at me.
"When are you not hungry?" I ask him seriously.
"Next time I vote we leave her" Jimin tells Jin causing me to gasp and slap him on the arm.
"This pretty face doesn't just happen over night, I hope you know"
"Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. Just hurry up. The rest of the guys are waiting for you" Jimin tells me walking ahead as The oldest member stayed back with me.
I shut the hotel door, turning to Jin.
"Leggo" I say causing him to smile.
Him and I meet the rest of the members who stood near multiple guards waiting for the elevator.
NamJoon who was talking to Yoongi looks over to me, and didn't remove his eyes off of me causing me to blush.
Now that I think about it him and I haven't talked about us, or the Lisa and him situation. The media and press were literally eating his ass up calling him a lair and a hypocrite when he wasn't.
Sure he was dumb but he was only trying to help Lisa out. I wish there was something I could do, or say to help him.
Even though he didn't look like it was bothering him, I knew deep down inside it was.
And I just wanted to distract him from all of that. After we all enter the elevator the door wouldn't close.
I stepped out of the elevator and a guard followed my action. "We can make room" I hear one of them say.
"It's fine. I'll just take the next one" I tell him.
The door shuts as the guard and I wait for the next one.
My phone buzzes, "one more week, you excited 😜 ?" The text sent by Jay asked me.
I replied "of course. The question is are you😆?"

I respond smiling at my phone as the second elevator came, the guard and I both entered it.
After the doors opened, I looked to see the members and the guards waiting for me. I smiled walking towards them as I accidentally bumped into someone carrying a bag causing my phone to drop.
I could hear the screen crack by the sound and my heart dropped.
"oh my god. I'm so sorry" I say picking up my phone trying to help the person's items out of the bag.
The man quickly rushed to put the items back into the bag, he and I reached for the same item causing our eyes to meet.
"Sorry" I say pulling my hand away to see the same hand tattoo I saw earlier causing me to grab my phone and stand up quickly.
I arch my brow as the man walked away quickly entering the elevator.
"Are you Alright, Miss?" The guard asked me.
I nod confusedly.
Maybe it's a coincidence he ran into me at the event earlier today and hours later is at the same hotel I'm at.
Maybe it's a coincidence. I try to convince myself but the more and more I thought about it the more and more I freaked myself out.
"What was that about?" Joon asked walking towards me. I shrug.
"Jesus, your phone" he says causing me to look down to see my phone completely fucked. I sighed, "it's must've broke when I bumped into that guy" I explain.
"Can you love birds stop talking and go so we can get something to eat?" Yoongi asks both of us.
"God you boys are such bitches when your hungry" I spat causing the members to laugh.
-
I sat quietly next to NamJoon as the boys were talking, about what? Who knows. I hadn't said much on the way here, all I could think about was how I've seen that man twice today.
Which was weird.
"What about you, Normani?" Jimin asked smiling meaning he was laughing. I looked around to see all of the members looking at me.
"Uh?" I asked unsure what the question was being I wasn't even listening.
"What's your favorite part about traveling so much?" Taehyung asks me. I nod twisting my fork in the large bowl of spaghetti I had ordered.
"Um— seeing different types of people, and their culture. It's different but it's an amazing experience. And hanging out with you guys of course." I say answering honestly.
"Oh... my turn?" JungKook asks looking around. I'm guessing they were asking each other questions for the time being.
"You okay?" Joon whispers causing me to turn to him. I nod slightly.
"It's just... you've been quiet since we entered the limo. Usually when your quiet something seems to be bothering you" he says knowing me better then expected.
I forced a laugh to let him know that I was okay or at least trying to be.
"I'm fine"
I respond.
But truth? I was sort of concerned. How it was possible to run into the exact same person twice. Specially when I have never met him before a day in my life, and the fact that the event we were at earlier was at least two hours away from the hotel we are currently staying at.
So something had to be up. But I didn't want to bother or worry the guys about anything. Specially me working my nerves up.
"You sure?" He asked.
"Trust me, Joon. If something was bothering me you'd be the first I'd tell" I say.
He nods, smiling before turning over to J-Hope who sat next to him.
"It's your turn, Joon", Jimin gets Joon's attention causing him to turn away from J-hope.
Jimin was about to ask him a question when Yoongi leaned into Jimin's ear and whispered something.
Obviously something he didn't want the rest of the table to here.
Jimin laughs uncontrollably hitting the table looking at Yoongi who smiled.
"I want to know" Jeon says as he sat next to Jimin.
Jimin then whispers something into his ear as Jeon looks up at both Joon and I letting know it was obviously about him and I.
Jeon smiles.
Taehyung turns to Jeon. He then leans into Taehyung and whispered something.
Taehyung laughed loudly, before nodding.
"Hey! Why are you guys keeping secrets!" Jin asks. Joon who seemed unbothered by the whole situation continued eating.
"Yeah. We want to know" J-hope seconds that.
"Don't worry. It's not about you" Jimin laughs.
Joon turns to me with sauce from his food on the corner of his mouth. I chuckled catching his attention.
"What?" He asked.
"You have....." I pause looking at the corner of his mouth causing him to be confused.
"A little...." I continue trying to contain my laughter, "What?" He asks smiling showing his dimples.
I rolled my eyes, lick my thumb and reached up and swiping it across the corner off his mouth wiping the sauce off.
He looked down at me as I focused on wiping his face. "There" I say as I remove my hand away from his face.
"Is that better?" He asks smirking licking his lips.
I nod biting my lip.
Someone at the table cleared their throat causing both Joon and I turned to see all of the members looking at us.
I blushed trying to control my laughter, so I stuff my mouth with a fill fork of spaghetti.
"Why don't you guys just go out already?" Yoongi asked rolling his eyes.
"How do you guys know we aren't already doing that?" Joon says causing me to choke on my drink.
Jeon smirks looking over to Jimin.
"See I told you they were dating. Now, you owe me money" Taehyung tells J-hope who was laughing.
"You guys betted on us?" I asked them all.
"You call it betted. We call it opening an opportunity for money" Yoongi says causing me grab a napkin from the table and tossing it at him.
"So are you guys dating? Like seriously dating?" Jin asks.
"No"
I say.
"Not yet"
Joon says causing me to turn and look at him.
Not yet?
Meaning he had intentions of us dating. I couldn't help myself from blushing, causing me to smile hard asf.
"Ohhhhh.... you hear that guys. He said not yet" J-hope says causing both joon and I to look at other and smile.
"Alright. Enough of the love birds. We should had back to the hotel and get changed for the club" Jin suggests.
Agreed.
