BTS Eighth Member | The Life: Year 2014

Chapter 4- ISAC 2014 Part 2

Author's Note at the End :)

January 13th, 2014:

The organisers had handed out lunch to all the idols. It consisted of a sandwich, a water bottle, an orange or banana, and pocky. As we were eating, Gongchan of B1A4 started walking over to our group. Seokjin, who probably knew him through Sandeul, immediately waved him over.

"Can't resist me?" Seokjin asks laughing.

"You know it," Gongchan replies laughing too, sitting next to him, "uh, no though... I'm actually here for Y/N".

I notice the group straighten their backs at this, and Jungkook and Jimin put down their sandwiches, putting all their focus on the newcomer.

"Yes?" I say questioningly.

"Um, hi, I'm Gongchan of B1A4," he introduces himself, bowing slightly.

I bow back, "hi, I'm Y/N of BTS, but I guess you already know that," I chuckle.

"Haha, yeah. I'm actually here as the captain of team D's mixed-race team. I thought I'd introduce myself and tell you the other members of the team are Chunji of Teen Top and RiSe of Ladie's Code," he explains.

I see the boys loosen up a bit, realising he wasn't here to try anything, which I could have told them wasn't the case from the get-go.

"Oh, great! Thank you for telling me. I'm excited about the race," I say smiling.

"I saw your run in the 60m race qualifier... I think with the team we've got we can be competitive," he says smiling.

"Now I'm even more excited," I laugh.

"I was actually wondering if you wanted to finish your lunch with us?... The event is right after lunch and we could maybe... bond a bit before, get to know each other?" he asks hesitantly, noticing the members' less than impressed features.

"Yes, I'd love to," I say, getting my lunch together.

I see Jungkook's face turn to me in astonishment.

"You better not be trying anything here," Seokjin says half-jokingly.

"Don't worry hyung, she's in safe hands," he says patting Seokjin's shoulder and getting up.

As I start to follow Gongchan, Jimin grabs my wrist.

"We'll be right here if anything happens," he whispers.

"I know, don't worry though, nothing will happen. And plus RiSe-sunbaenim will be there too," I reply before walking off.

I finished my lunch while talking with my race members. Granted, I didn't do much talking, in fact, we were all a little shy and mostly just ate. However, Chunji and I had clicked right away. From the little we had spoken; we had already bonded over our love for brain teasers and melodramatic movies like War Horse and Dirty Dancing. But at the mention of Dirty Dancing, Gongchan had shut the conversation down, probably remembering Seokjin's half-threat and the members' looks.
