OZONE | BTS

11

The next day, the morning batch got up early and trained in the gym.

They all were going towards their dance practice room as Jimin and J-hope were leading them.

Chloe saw Amrita, Sarah, Pooja, and Saanvi, she called them making all of them halt.

Saanvi asked observing that Chloe had tons of water bottles filled in her hands and she was standing in front of new jeans currently using dance practice room.

"Hey, where are you going Chloe?" Others were also waiting for Chole's answer to Saanvi's question.

Chloe said pointing at the dance practice room there, "Oh I am training here"

Ozone along with Jimin and J-hope looked at the same dance practice room where New Jeans was training some girls.

This was clear that Chloe is one of those girls who are getting trained by new jeans.

Some called Chloe and they all looked at Min He-jin coming out of the dance practice room.

Min he-jin looked at J-hope and Jimin then at Ozone, she said to Chloe, "What are you doing here?"

Chloe introduced saanvi, Pooja, Sarah, and Amrita to her saying that they were her friends and she was talking to them.

Min He-jin said, "But it's not your break, go inside and practice" Chloe nodded and went inside the dance practice room.

After giving a cold stare to J-hope, Jimin and Ozone Min he-jin also went inside the dance practice room.

They all came and started stretching and soon they were practicing some dance moves.

At their 20-minute shot break, ozone lay down on the floor inhaling as much oxygen as they could and letting their sweat dry.

Saanvi turned to one side and saw no one from the staff had come to give them water yet. Whereas staff was rushing to provide water to J-hope and Jimin.

She sighed and got up to bring water for others, saanvi asked to staff, "may I take 7 of the water bottles for us?"

Staff handed her three water bottles from the box filled with water bottles.

Saanvi stood there waiting for them to give her more but they didn't give her.

Saanvi said, "I asked for seven water bottles" That staff girl said, "Do you need water or not?"

She was threatening her that she would snatch those water bottles from her hands if she complained again.

Saanvi closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she went close to the rest of the members of Ozone.

She heard Pooja saying, "Binita di (elder sister) used to bring water bottles for us" Gammi continued, "I am missing her already"

Saanvi gave them water bottles, and Pirbom asked, "How we all will drink in 3 bottles?"

Amrita said, "You forgot to bring rest 4 bottles" saanvi shook her head and said, "They gave us this much water only"

Rest girls sat straight on the floor with their eyes widened, they first looked at the water bottles kept there and then at the staff working.

Sarah got up and said, "Let me ask for some water" She passed saanvi giving her shoulder a pat for trying.

Sarah went and asked, "We need 4 bottles of water, can we get that?"

One of the staff member said, "We already gave you water bottles" Sarah said, "Yes but it's not enough" Another staff member said rudely, "There is no water left now"

Sarah looked at the box filled with water bottles and then again looked at that staff.

So that staff said, "Jimin and J-hope sir has also drank only 3 bottles so why can't you all"

Sarah was about to say something when a hand held her wrist, she turned back and saw saanvi.

She shook her head and took Sarah from there, still the water bottles were untouched by other ozone members.

Saanvi said, "Guys drink water" They looked at Sarah and saanvi as if asking that whether they got more water.

But neither of them replied anything, there was only one thought going through Sarah's mind 'Jimin and J-hope are 2 people who still drank 3 bottles but we are 7 how we manage in 3 bottles?'

Saanvi said bringing Sarah from her thoughts, "Guys I don't want to drink water so quickly drink it, the break is about to get over"

Rest Ozone members realized what was happening to them in the absence of binita.

They were getting discriminated maybe because of their skin color or because they didn't meet Korean beauty standards.

Sarah also said, "I don't want to drink too, saanvi let's practice that step, you were struggling with it, right?" Sarah said excusing both herself and saanvi from there.

The rest 4 shared 3 bottles while they watched how Sarah and saanvi practiced without drinking any water.

J-hope and Jimin weren't aware of this so they came back into the dance practice room after the break and they started with their practice again.

In the evening, they come out from the practice room, being full drenched in sweat, and craving for the shower as soon they reach home.

Sarah and saanvi moved with Pirbom for their evening gym training, others were concerned for them as they hadn't eaten or drunk anything since morning.

While coming out from the gym with RM and Jungkook leading them, Sarah's vision became blurred for some seconds making her stumble.

Pirbom and saanvi held her hands but soon she was okay, pribom asked saanvi too "You are okay right?"

Saanvi nodded and said, "I am all good" saanvi tried to show her muscles which weren't there yet making both of them chuckle.

But she didn't tell them her vision was also getting blurred in between still she hadn't stumbled yet.

They reached home and first they went inside their rooms to take a shower.

After showering they joined the rest Ozone members in the living room, as soon as saanvi and Sarah sat down, Amrita gave them 2 glasses of water.

They both smiled and drank them, while having dinner both saanvi and Sarah ate more than usual which Jin noticed but shrugged thinking they were hungry.

When Yoongi was going inside his room he passed the staircase where he heard 2 people from Ozone talking.

One said, "How can they discriminated us, they didn't give us enough water!" Other continued,"and in lunch, they didn't let us enter in cafeteria and bought us just 3 plates"

One said, "How 7 of us will manage in 3 Plates and 3 water bottles throughout the day!"

Other said,"I think this is happening because binita di (elder sister) is not here with us!"

One replied in agreement, "Yes you are right, okay let's go its getting late" other said, "Okay bye, good night"

Yoongi heard footsteps and the closing of doors which meant both of them went inside their rooms.

He couldn't differentiate between their voices so he didn't know who they were also the area where the stairs was use to echo so if someone even whispered there, anyone who is present upstairs could hear them.

Yoongi went inside his room thinking about the conversation he heard and thought of working on it.

We are done with another chapter and I tried to show every country's harsh reality where people get discriminated because of their race. In every country some people can never change, this is a harsh reality of our society.
