BTS American Love Story *COMPLETED*

Part 9

Claire's POV:

"I can't believe you guys are actually doing this," I whisper. I look at the van and gulp a bit. I can't believe that they are getting me a job at their company. But where I'm living for now is going to be awkward.

*LAST NIGHT*

"Okay guys, we have to decide where Claire is going to live," RapMon speaks up. We're all currently in one of their rooms, including the manager. "Hotel?" "I can't afford a hotel the entire summer guys," I speak up. "That's true." "It would be weird if she stays in a apartment alone for a summer." "Well I mean that's common in college, but in this situation, it wouldn't make since." "That's true..." We all go quiet, I think we're all trying to think of something. Their manager has already set me up a flight that's in a 2 1/2 months. 2 1/2 months with BTS. What's going to happen during that time? It's going to be hard to leave in the end, which I have to try to not think about right now. Their manager went over my qualifications earlier, with doing the Business Academy classes in high school, and doing a lot of volunteering, he said that it would help me a lot. Although most of my volunteering hours deal with kids, he said that it was impressive that I got over 300 hours while I was earning my AA. I just keep thinking what job I would get. 

"What about our place?," J-Hope is the first one to speak. "Our place!?" "Your place!?" I yell in unison with them. "Why not? It's kind of her only option at the moment. As long we promise not to do anything, I think it'll be fine." RapMon coughs and I look at him confused. Jungkook who's sitting by him hits RapMon's arm. "Manager? Is it okay if she lives with us? We are on break for a few months." "Well... Since you guys are on break, and I know you guys want to be around her... As long you all promise, including you Claire, to not do anything. And, as long Claire is comfortable with it." The guys look at me and I bite my lower lip. It kind of is my only option... "Um... I mean it is my only option..." "So is that a yes?," Suga asks. "It's a yes." All the guys cheer and V hugs me. "Group hug!!," V yells. "Guys!," I squeal as V pulls me into the middle and the guys surround me. "I can't believe you get to live with us Claire!," Jin yells.

*PRESENT*

I can't believe that I'm actually going to live with the guys. But I have to hope that I get this job or the whole plan is ruined. Just because I spoke to the manager and the guys want me to work there, doesn't mean that I'll get the job. Everyone gets in the van and I end up sitting next to RapMon, the manager in front with the driver. "Are you ready for your new life Claire?," Jimin asks. "I think so... I mean, it's just all so sudden. I thought I was going home this morning. But instead, my life just flipped upside down and I don't know the future." "I hope you enjoy your life here Claire, that's all we really want," Suga says. "Thanks Suga," I turn around and smile at him and he smiles back. "But first, get a job."

"So tell us Claire, what is the Business Academy?" "It's a program in high school where we're taught about business. One of our classes is a business course. They have us dress professional once every month, and every time we have a guest speaker, or during some field trips, or when we do practice interviews. During the first two years, they have us do practice interviews so that we can get ready for our internships before senior year. We also had to maintain a certain GPA and get a certain amount of volunteer hours." "So more was expected out of you then from students who weren't in that program?" "Yes mam." They nod and write something down. I'm being interviewed by three people. And only one of them speaks English. "What are your volunteer hours?" "For two years I was at a little league concessions, half of the time I was put in charge if the board member on duty was not present." "So you had a leadership role?" "Yes mam." "Any hobbies?" Well... I mean it's worth a shot... 

"I love doing films and editing." "Really? What exactly do you do?" "Well the main thing that I do is go to concerts and film it. I used to want to be a concert photographer, but I ended up changing my mind. I always try my best to get the best footage. With editing, I just love doing it. It's one of the few things where my-" I cut myself off and look down. This was getting way to personal. In the past, when I've mentioned it, I never got hired. "Where your what? Miss?" I look up and blink a few times. "Your what miss?" "My... My..." "Please don't be shy." "My disability..." "You have a disability?" Part of me is afraid to tell the guys... "Since I've already said it, I'll say how it affects me. I'm slower then a normal person. It takes me longer to process and understand certain things. Sometimes I don't even know what those things are. But once I understand it, it sticks." "Why do you love filming and editing?" I close my eyes and think, I've never been fully open about this. "....Because it's one of the few things that my disability doesn't affect. I feel separate from it. I feel like a different person. I don't feel judged. It's a whole other world for me..." I look down and close my eyes, I hear them talking, and with me not knowing what they're saying makes me nervous. 

"Well we do have a position for you that we think is perfect." I quickly look up at them, "What is it?" "Have you seen the boys YouTube channel?" "Yes mam." "And you know how we have people filming their dance practices and half of the behind the scenes stuff when the boys aren't filming?" "Yes mam."

"Well, what are the results!?," they yell. "Guys, be easy on her," manager tells them. He turns to face me and smiles, it's like he knew it would happen. "I'm your new camera person." The guys cheer and hug me tightly. I can't believe that I have a job for BigHit Entertainment. And with me being a camera person, it has me to be closer with the guys. I was worried that I would be stuck working in a office and never seeing the guys. "Let's move Claire in!!!"

After we all got all of our stuff in the dorm and unpacked, everyone settled into their own rooms. Today has been such a long day it's crazy. And to think that I was supposed to get on a place this morning to go back home. But there's one thing that fans will never see about their dorm, and that's how dirty it is. When was the last time that they cleaned!? There was some fruit flies in the kitchen! "Where am I sleeping guys?" "I guess for now on the couch," Jimin says. 

*Middle of the night.*

I groan and roll onto my side, I hear a loud noise near by. "What the fuck is going on," I groan. I sit up and try to look around in the dark living room. The loud noise is coming from the kitchen. I let out a yawn, get up, and walk towards the kitchen. I bump into someone and we both groan. "Sorry Claire," he grumbles. "What the hell is that noise," I groan. We turn on the kitchen light, my eyes fix to the light, and I see Jungkook using a portable vacuum on the fruit flies over the trash. "Jungkook, what the hell are you doing?" I look up and see that it's RapMon. "Knowing these flies were here were bothering me. I wanted to take care of them." "So you're using a vacuum..." "Don't question it, it's working." "And what made you think of using a vacuum..." "I don't know." "You do realize you've woken up two people right..." "I'm sorry for waking you Claire." "What about me?" "This is her first night, you should be used to me by now." RapMon groans, "I'm going back to bed." RapMon walks out and I let out a long yawn. "Can you finish with that Jungkook, I want to sleep." "Yeah. Almost done." 

I walk out of the kitchen and go back to the living room, plopping down on the couch. I pull the blanket over me, Jungkook finally stops and turns off the light. What a weird first night...
