Eighth? • GOT7 [DISCONTINUED]

♢~~9~~♢

Once the 8 reach their dorms, everyone retreated to their rooms silently other than Mark, Yugyeom and Rhode. "Did I say something wrong?" She looked up at the boys as they looked at each other and shrugged. "I guess its about the Q&A." Rhode thought hard, recalling her words. "Is it because I said that I will date Mark?" Yugyeom eyes widen. "Oh no." "What?" The younger asked. "They must have felt hurt or something." "But why?" The sliver-haired was utterly confused. "Cause we all like you!" Yugyeom shouted and then covered his mouth. "I'm so dead tomorrow JB hyung is going to kill me!" With that, he ran back to his shared room and slammed the door. "Kim Yugyeom! You did not just did what I think you did!" Jaebum's voice called from his room. "I think he did, hyung." Youngjae replied. "Rhode, what he said was utter rubbish. Don't take it to heart." Jaebum's words sounds true, but it was laced with annoyance and nervousness.

"I'm going to find out this little secret you guys have," she faced Mark with a smirk. Mark sensed her hostility and backed away immediately. "Starting with you, Markie." Mark got off the couch and ran for Jaebum's room, slamming the door in her face. "Did she found out?" Jaebum asked, eyeing the door cautiously. Mark didn't have the chance to explain as the lock unclipped, Rhode flinging the door open in the rapper's face. She slam the door close, dangling two keys from her fingers. "How did you-" Both searched their pockets for their wallets. "They are outside. Now, whats this little secret that you guys have?" She eyed Mark as he slowly back up against the wall. "Jackson! Help!" He cried. "You lock the door! How am I suppose to help?!" Shouted an annoyed Jackson from the other side of the door.

"Do something before she kills me!" The older ducked under Rhode as he threw himself at Jaebum. Jaebum moved off the bed as he landed on the mattress. "Rhode! Phone call for you!" Jinyoung shouted from the next bedroom. "Your on your lucky day, you two." Rhode shook her head as she left their keys on the table and went off for the phone. "This better not be a false alarm or you and Jackson will get it instead." She mumbled as she walked over and grabbed the phone from the table. "Yobosaeyeo? Oh really?" She covered the phone as she shouted to deliver a message to the 7. "Guys, the MV filming is tomorrow at 8am sharp!" The boys groaned in reply. "Yes, they know. Yeah. Yes, he's my adoptive father. What about? MWO?!" Poor Youngjae who came to get a drink from the fridge almost drop his carton of orange juice from the girl's shriek. "Woah, Jagi- uh, I mean Rhode. What happen?"

Rhode ran down the corridor to the nearest bedroom- Youngjae's shared room and threw the door open. "What the hell, Rhode?!" BamBam pulled the covers up to his face. "At least knock!" "Mianhae, Bam." She sat down infront of BamBam's computer, opening up the search engine. "Can you like throw me my shirt?" Rhode looked down at the pile of clothes, taking a random one and throwing it at BamBam's direction. "What are you doing?" Jinyoung poked his head into the room. "Bam, I told you to wear at least a shirt on." He started nagging until he heard sniffling. "Rhode? Whats wrong?" BamBam climbed onto Youngjae's bed and looked over her head at the article she was reading.

'World's billionaire, Asher Hollas, aged 43, passed away just a few hours ago from a stage 4 brain tumor. His will said for all his fortune and properties to be passed down to his two adopted children, Jeon JungKook, aged 18, who is part of a Korean boy band 'BangTan Boys' and Rhode Chia, aged 14, who is part of an already debuted Korean boy band 'GOT7'. It is truly ironic for a billionaire to not go for an operation for this tumor....'

"No. This didn't happen. This is fucking fake!" BamBam pulled her off the chair and onto the bed, trying to consol her. "Go away! Let me go! Bam!" Rhode shouted while kicking and pushing BamBam. The attacks slowed and stop as Rhode just cried her eyes out. "What happen-" Jackson heard the commotion as he walked by to check it out, getting silenced by Jinyoung who gave him a death glare. The rest looked back to find the younger in BamBam's embrace, sniffing. BamBam was about to let go, seeing icy glares from Jaebum and Yugyeom but Rhode grasped harder on his shirt, snuggling herself on his collarbone. "Don't go... Don't leave me like dad did." "I won't, promise." Jinyoung shooed the others towards the living room, showing them the article from his phone. "I can't believe this." Youngjae threw his hands in the air. "Why must everything unfortunate happen on Rhode and not us?" Jackson groaned as the rest nodded in agreement. "Guys, look at this." Yugyeom showed them tweets on one of Rhode's post- a selfie taken by BamBam with all the members and her in it. Their eyes widened at the poison lacing the words.

'Who the fuck does she think she is? Pretty sure its photoshop or something.'

'I know right?! Why would GOT7 even have a girl in the group for?'

'I bet she can't sing or rap. Hah! And don't get me started on dancing. Read on the JYP page that she's the new maknae, replacing Yugyeom.'

"Say what?" Yugyeom was fuming that even smoke can be seen flowing from his head. "Both of us are the maknaes, get your facts right!" "She can't sing? Can't rap? Can't dance? Oh wow, we need to get manager to put up that video asap." Jinyoung said, about to call her. "I have a copy." Jaebum claimed as he put it up on GOT7's twitter, tagging Rhode.

'[JB] Firstly, get your facts right about Rhode. She is not in our group to take over Yugyeom, both of them are maknaes and they are both talented.'

Mark took his phone and the rest of the members took turn to type.

'[Mark] Secondly, you said she can't rap. Watch this video first before coming to conclusions. What you say will not only impact Rhode, it also impacts on how GOT7 look at you IGOT7 as Rhode is one of us now'

'[Jackson] I will not tolerate hate on any of my members, especially saying them out on your social medias. Keep your own opinions to yourselves. We see IGOT7 as someone who will support our opinions no matter the cost or change. Well, you just showed us that we are wrong.'

'[Jr.] Rhode only has been with us for a few weeks and this is what she has to face through? I'll tell you something. Pretty sure you guys have seen our new albMV 'MAD' and MV teaser. Guess what? The songs, ideas and plots wasn't from us or the crew. It was from Rhode. Since you hate her so much for 'taking Yugyeom's place', then why are you guys praising the teaser?'

'[Youngjae] Another thing I've noticed. You guys are saying JungKook isn't her brother. Yes they aren't related by blood but they are adopted by the same parents. They grew up together and if this is not like brother and sister, then what is?'

'[Yugyeom] Now, something happened to Rhode's family. Her father passed away a few hours ago due to a brain tumor and he wasn't married. Rhode doesn't have a mom. If your wondering where BamBam is, he us trying to consol Rhode of her loss. BangTan released their album Pt.1 right? Guess what? 'I Need U' and the album name came from Rhode and Suga. The ideas are from Rhode, arrangement from Suga and the plot is from both. ARMYs can accept Rhode, why can't IGOT7s? I hope your happy IGOT7s.'
