BTS Eighth Member | The Life: Year 2017

Chapter 113- Siblings

Author's Note at the End :)

December 31st, 2017:

We were in the hotel room after the ball drop. Yoona and Sejin hadn't allowed me to even go up with the boys to do the countdown out of fear of others bumping into me and hugging me too tightly despite me telling my shoulder was doing much better and a hug wasn't going to ruin anything, but they were just too protective saying they didn't want to risk anything at all, especially since we were in a foreign country. Nevertheless, the boys had performed amazingly and enjoyed themselves on stage. Despite not performing, several of the performers like Flo Rida, Fifth Harmony, and Mariah Carey stopped to introduce themselves as they passed me to the stage. I'd spoken to a couple of nearby ARMY as I stood to the side of the stage about their New Year's resolutions and how they became ARMYs. While it hadn't been the night I'd wanted, far from it, it wasn't completely wasted, and I'd tried to make the best of it. 

We were now in our suite, everyone drinking except Jungkook and I given we still weren't legal yet. It had once again turned into the scenario where it was getting boring being the only sober person around.

"Who thought we'd ever perform at Time's Square," Namjoon says, pouring himself yet another drink, trying to find his balance slightly as he did.

"People know who we are," Yoongi says from his spot in one of the armchairs, "that's the craziest part".

"I had over a million people in my live," I say, thinking about it, "listening to me... just me... talking about my cat and photo cards... that's the craziest part".

"That's what I'm saying," Yoongi says, looking at me as if I had repeated what he had said verbatim.

"Can we not talk about this," Seokjin says rolling his eyes, "it stresses me out".

"Stresses you out? It stresses me out," Taehyung says almost shouting, drunk despite having had fewer drinks than the other boys.

"You don't have to yell," Seokjin shoots back, "it can stress us both out".

"What do you wanna talk about then?" Hoseok questions, sitting at the table next to me very red and very quiet now he was several drinks in.

"I don't know... anything," Seokjin says looking around for something to talk about, "here, Jimin, you still f*cking?"

"How is that what you ask," Jimin says standing up from the couch pointing his finger at Seokjin in disbelief.

"Just to see your reaction," Seokjin grins, "why are you sensitive about it? It's a natural part of life".

"Cuz you guys laugh at me for it," Jimin retorts.

"We don't laugh at you for it," Yoongi says rolling his eyes, "we tease you like we tease everyone. Jungkook with his f*cking puppy love with SinB, Namjoon hyung with his like read and chill or however the fuck he spends his time with Mijung noona, Y/N with her clingy rapper... you're all equally funny to me".

"Puppy love?!? Read and chill?!? Clingy rapper?!?" Jungkook, Namjoon, and I all say at the same time in the same fake offended tone.
