a/n: Hey everyone! I highly suggest listening to BTS's Awake while reading this chapter. It's a nice chill song, perfect for the story you are about to read.
'Hey y/n!' he said as he walked through the door with a huge boxy grin on his face.
'Hey Tae!' His smile grew even bigger when he heard you call him by his nickname.
'Are you excited for singing with Jin and me?' he asked enthusiastically.
'Of course~' you replied, although you were also excited to show them your singing.
You had always loved to use your voice. Ever since you remember, you were annoying your family with constant unnecessary noises and vocal movements. They put you in singing lessons which you loved and kept doing... until 3 years ago. For a year after the accident, the only singing you did was to cry yourself to sleep every night. Lying in bed, you would softly sing random tunes you came up with as you tried to find peace somewhere in the abyss.
Since then, singing has become a sort of escape. You would sing BTS songs with Kara often, so you were excited to show the real deal what you are made of.
Taehyung showed you into the recording studio. There was a table with a computer and a control panel covered in switches and buttons on top, monitors, speakers, and a couch where Jin was already sitting with another ARMY. You could also see through the window into an adjacent room with foam-padded walls and a microphone in it.
Jin stood up and greeted you, 'Hi y/n, it's nice to meet you!' He showed off his 'worldwide handsome' smile as he gave you a big hug.
All these guys are so friendly and I guess they all love hugs too.
'Hey Jin! It's great to finally meet the worldwide handsome~' you said as you grinned up at him. He windshield-wiper laughed at your comment.
The woman that was sitting with Jin also stood up and came over to me to introduce herself, 'Hi there, my name is Hayoon! I'm Jungkook's buddy.' She looked like she was in her late 30s and you could tell she had a really bubbly personality.
'Nice to meet you, I'm y/n and Jimin's buddy!' You shook her hand that she extended to you.
Now it was time for singing. Taehyung and Jin explained how they recorded their vocals and some of how the control board and software worked when editing them. Then they each did some demos, picking a few of their sections from some BTS songs.
Tae had a surprisingly deep and smooth voice, while Jin's was pure and soft. They also did some freestyling together, making beautiful tunes and harmonies. You and Hayoon bopped along with their singing with big smiles on your faces and joined in with the songs you knew, Jin and Tae getting so excited when you did.
'They are both truly beautiful singers,' you noted to Hayoon who passionately shook her head in agreement.
They also recorded some ad-libs that they said they would choose from to put into one of their upcoming songs. When Jin really soulfully sang 'oh baby,' out of the blue, you couldn't help but crack up.
When Tae and Jin finished and walked out of the booth, Jin asked excitedly, 'Do you want to try?'
Heck yeah I'm down!
Your eyes lit up and Hayoon said she would prefer to listen. They obviously saw your excitement because Tae grabbed your hand like an excited puppy and started dragging you into the recording booth, declaring, 'y/n wants to try!' for you.
'Well if you insist...'
Tae smiled at your agreement and asked, 'What song do you want to sing?'
'Hmm. Awake?' The song has always resonated with you. The tone of it was a soothing sadness and the lyrics spoke to you in more ways than one.
a/n: Just a reminder you can listen to it above! I also suggest reading the lyrics to the song Awake. They are very inspirational for anyone who is going through a tough time or just needs some motivation.
'Nice choice,' Tae said, 'Put the headphones on and I'll press play.'
Oh boy... what have I gotten myself into... I'm supposed to sing in front of BTS?!? It's meant to be the other way around!!!
He walked into the other room and chose the song on the computer. He looked up at you reassuringly and you gave him a strained smile back through the glass. 'Fighting!' you could see him mouth as he gave you a thumbs up and a cute half-wink and pressed play.
When the music came on, you immediately forgot your worries about singing in front of THE BTS and you swayed to the beat until you came in. This song brought up long-suppressed emotions for you: struggling to overcome pain and loss, taking baby steps towards your dreams day by day, and finding inspiration to keep going. All these emotions flowed through you into your voice as you absorbed yourself in the song.
By the end of it, there were tears running down your cheeks that you quickly wiped away, but a huge grin was plastered over your face.
That was really nice. I forgot how much I loved to sing.
You took off the headphones and walked out of the booth. You looked up to see Tae, Jin and Hajoon who are all beaming at you with wide eyes. You notice Tae shove his hand into his pocket. Jin looked particularly touched and rushed up to you to give you a big hug. You felt a tear drop on your shoulder.
Oh, that's right. Awake is Jin's song. It must mean a lot to him that I sang his song.
'That was beautiful, y/n,' Jin released the hug to look into your eyes with the softest look in his, 'Really, it means a lot to me,' you were really touched by his sincerity.
'Thanks Jin. It's a really great song and one of my favorites,' he gave you another short hug before Tae could interrupt.
'I didn't know you could SING!'
'Well... It's just something I enjoy.'
You were interrupted by a knock at the door. Jiuen was there to take you back to the hotel.
'Ok, that's it guys. I hope you enjoyed it today. I think you have time to explore Seoul for the rest of the day, so I'll see you tomorrow!' Jin exclaimed and we all said goodbye.
So now, I guess I'll go venture into Seoul. I have a list of places I want to hit...
