✓ | The 8th

Chapter Three

I laid still on the bed, the room suddenly hot. I stared blankly at the ceiling hardly visible at dawn. Through my door I heard the other members, laughing and having fun in the living room doing a V-live. 

I sighed,when will they tell them that I'm joining? How will they take it?

The laughter finally stopped as I heard them all together say goodbye. I'm guessing they finished from all the whining about how early it was, its only 4 am its not THAT early when you could be watching dramas.

I heard footsteps coming towards the door and I quickly hid under the bed sheets. I quickly laid down in the closest human looking position

"Tori~" I heard Hoseok call out, a little nickname for Victoria

I pretended to be sleepy and groaned. I sat up and saw Hoseok open the door, a smell of beef flavored ramen entered my room and found its way to my heart. I smiled, not acting that sleepy anymore and followed Hoseok to the kitchen. On the counter sat every type of flavored ramen that exists, this is heaven. I smiled as I made my way to the stove where on a pot, Beef Flavored Ramen was cooking. It seems like someone put two packets in there. I smiled, this must be for me.

My smile faded as I saw Jungkook quickly turn off the stove and poured the noodles in a bowl with a smug smile on his face

"That was mine!" I said.

"I was cooking it, what do you mean,"  Jungkook glared down at me.

"Those are the last ones, and they're my favorite!" I growled.

"Wanna share?" Jungkook asked.

I'm kind of shook that he actually offered to, but I quickly grabbed the opportunity and nodded.

Ok, ok calm down, I thought.

I glanced at BTS as they stood on the stage from back stage. I'm so nervous I think I might vomit. I want to run away, lock myself up in the bathroom and wait for it to be over. But I know I can't, I HAVE to go up there.

"ARMYs," I heard Namjoon begin. "We've been together all these years and have supported each other on every decision we made"

"But I think it's time," Seokjin said.

"To introduce a new face," Jimin said with a smile, he lips close to the mic as he looked at the crowd.

"I introduce you to," Jungkook said with a smile.

"Kim Victoria!" They all said.

The crowd went quiet, lots of whispers rised. They probably already catched up, its a girl name.

I breathed in heavily and ignored my nervousness.

I entered the stage, lots of gasps and questions. They're probably wondering who I am by now

"Our 8th member," Taehyung said with a smile.

"We hope you can accept her as one of us now," Yoongi said with feelings, mostly just for ARMYs.

"Like we've accepted her," Hoseok said.

They all smiled and bowed.

I awkwardly stood behind Seokjins wide shoulders so they can't see me, I'm too ugly for this.

Seokjin turned around and grabbed my shoulders. He smiled and spoke, "You'll be great"

I smiled and nodded. I quickly stood in front of the crowd.

I brought my mic close to my lips and quietly spoke. "I know I'm not supposed to be here, I have no place here. But I hope I can make ARMY happy just like BTS makes me"

The crowd was silent, but quickly filled with roars. Many smiled, and I hardly saw frowns.

I smiled, almost going to cry. Why? I have no idea.

I covered my mouth and looked at the huge crowd. "Thank you" I said and bowed 90°.

Thank you for accepting me.
