November 16th, 2017:
I woke up early to get my normal morning workout before the Yves St. Laurent representative arrived for a final fitting of the dress I was meant to wear for the carpet since they were the designer all of us were wearing. It was an ankle-length black, deep rounded neckline with a draped open back. The drape had small Swarovski jewels. The heels also had similar jewels around the heel. It was a gorgeous ensemble and the first time I'd be wearing anything not off a rack. The boys' clothes were from their collection, but given I was a girl, they saw more marketing in having me a piece only ever worn on the runway once. It was a bit daunting knowing this really.
The fitting had taken forty minutes. After, I'd rushed to get changed so stylists could do my hair and makeup. We were wearing our own clothes for the interviews today so I'd decided on straight-leg, light-coloured jeans, an off-white blazer with a white silk-like shirt, and white sneakers. I matched it with a watch and silver accessories.
Our first stop was an LA morning TV show.
"Hello, welcome," a staff said, welcoming us into the studio.
We all bowed and waved to the staff.
"Hello!" the host said enthusiastically, "it's amazing to have you in today".
"Thank you, we're excited to be here," Namjoon smiled.
"Now, I've tried memorising your names, but if I'm being honest, I still struggle with putting them to faces," the host admits chuckling.
Yoongi and my eyes meet, and he just ever so slightly rolls his eyes. So, he did understand the English I grinned.
"Well, that's Jungkook, the guy in the all-black," Namjoon says, listing the members for him.
"And then Y/N," the host nodded smiling at me, "her I know".
"What gives it away," I joke, making him laugh a little too hard.
"You have great English," he says surprised, patting me on the shoulder, "you both do".
"I'm Canadian," I reply simply, nodding.
"Oh, I see," he smiles, ignorant to his racism.
"Ok, if you could all line up behind him, here," a producer instructs, "we'll be live in 1".
We all do as told, and the camera slowly pans our way and the light turns red.
"Hello world, they're the biggest Korean pop sensation ever," the host reads from the teleprompter, "they're making their American TV performance debut this Sunday at the American Music Awards. Here are my friends, BTS. It is RM," he says, turning gesturing to Jungkook right behind him on his right.
"No," Jungkook says kindly, gesturing to Namjoon who was standing right behind the host's left. The boys just all laugh, taking it in stride.
