BTS Eighth Member | The Life: Year 2015

Chapter 13- Kota Kinabalu Part 1

May 10th, 2015:

We had left late right after a performance for Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia where we were shooting the summer package. We dropped off our bags in our rooms at the resort we were staying at for the couple of days we were here and went straight to the pool area to start taking pictures. I had been given a white t-shirt with three pink lines running across it, forest green shorts, and white sandals to wear.

"First BTS vacation," I say excitedly to the camera as we walked to the pool.

Jimin and Hoseok were the first to shoot so I went down to the beach with the other members with a few cameras in tow.

"The sun is so nice," I say smiling.

"Too bad we can't go in the water," Namjoon comments sadly, "that couple looks like they're having such a good time".

I look at the couple playing around in the water sadly.

"Y/N, come here," Seokjin says, opening his arm for me to go under to take a polaroid picture with him.

I quickly do as instructed and smile at the camera.

"You have to take pictures in such a beautiful place," Seokjin says, showing the summer package camera the polaroid we had just taken.

I take sunscreen from a staff member and lather it all over my body before going to build a sandcastle on the beach. Jungkook and Taehyung came to join me, but they were called to do their shoot by the pool.

A film camera comes and starts filming me building my sandcastles by myself.

"Jungkook and V oppa were with me, but they had to go shoot," I tell the camera sadly, "the other members don't want to get too tanned. So, I'm building my own kingdom now... what do you think?"

The cameraman backs up and pans out for the camera to see all the tiny sand buildings I had made.

"Impressive right!" I say happily, but right as I admire my work, a particularly big wave rolled up the beach and wiped out half my kingdom.

"Nooooo!" I shout as my kingdom is destroyed. I dramatically fall to the ground, "my people... I'm sorry I couldn't protect you..." I act as if I were in some historical kdrama.

"Y/N! Jin!" we hear Sejin shout, "you're shooting next!"

"Looks like I have to go," I smile to the camera before getting up and walking farther up the beach to the shade to do my shoot with Seokjin.

We're instructed to sit in the sand and pretend like we're playing with it together. I continue building small little huts, but Seokjin sends them tumbling down.

"Oppa!" I shout laughing.

My sandcastles gone, we're then told to stand and pose together with the ocean in the background. I stand behind Seokjin and playfully peak behind him. The cameraman takes a few shots like that and Seokjin then decides to spin around and pick me up. He picks me up and holds me like a sack of potatoes in his arm. All I could do was laugh and smile as I waited for him to put me down.
