BTS Eighth Member | The Life: Year 2018

Chapter 74- Making Space

Underlined = English 

September 11th, 2018:

We'd finished our Los Angeles concerts but remained in the city to meet with producers and do more promotions. A couple of days ago, YG had released another comment writing "After speaking to our artist, B.I confirms that he met BTS' Y/N for the first time at the Running Man shoot. B.I has a great respect for Lee Y/N but never dated the BTS member. The rumours are false". Normally, this would have killed most rumours and hate, and yet, it was never normal with me. Given iKON fans already didn't believe it, it was me, and my fans, that were dragging his name into a scandal for no reason, along with the haters that piled on as always, the hate train wasn't stopping. ARMY were trying to stay light, making memes and jokes about Hanbin, his fans, and the overall situation but I just wanted it to end and for everyone to move on. Not only was it simply a scandal I didn't want, but it was also a daily reminder of what was. It was literally torture to someone who was trying to forget and move on. Additionally, Hanbin, the idiot, sent me some more money from the Killing Me credits and I so didn't want it so I again donated it anonymously, this time to cancer research in honour of my mom.

Today, we were performing at America's Got Talent and going to the Grammy Museum to have a "deep dive" interview, or so they said. I kept my hopes pretty low given basically every interview we'd ever had in the US had never been anywhere near deep. We were starting at America's Got Talent though and we'd already changed and gotten our base makeup done at the hotel before heading to where the show was filmed. When we got to the show, we were guided to a lounge area with a hot dog bar ready for us.

"You're already eating a hot dog?" Namjoon says chuckling at Jungkook who was already putting condiments on his hot dog right as we walked in.

"You wanna try some?" Jungkook questions putting the spoon for the onions back in the bowl and taking a big bite from the hot dog.

"That's a huge mouthful, I don't know if that's gonna fit in your mouth," I comment looking at Namjoon open his mouth wide to fit the whole hot dog in his mouth.

"Oh please, don't tell me you haven't been there," Yoongi, who was sitting next to me on the couch, chuckles, winking at me suggestively, "eating a hot dog isn't new to you".

"Oh, and you're one to talk," I counter muttering and grinning making us both laugh.

"What are you guys giggling about?" Seokjin says looking at us weirdly.

"Namjoon oppa, of course," I say casually still laughing as it was somehow funnier given not everyone was in on it.

Namjoon looks over and just rolls his eyes as I continue to giggle, slapping Yoongi's thigh.

"I think she took too many of her morning vitamins," Taehyung chuckles as I can't stop laughing for who knows why.

"Can't a girl just be having fun," I smile.

"Yeah... sure she can... it's usually not done all by herself though," Jimin says eyeing me like I was going crazy.

"I'm not alone," I grin, eyeing Yoongi who was still laughing a bit under his breath.
