Song: 'Fire - BTS'

Who else can't wait to go to the water-park? *Raises hand*. Well, good for you, that should be in a few chapters or less...

(Y/N) POV:

What a strange name. "BoomSlang". How is it even wrote? BoomSlang, Boomslang, Boom slang, Boom Slang, Boom-Slang, Bo... Doesn't really matter. I think it's BoomSlang. Sounds weird when you keep repeating the word.

BoomSlang, BoomSlang, BoomSlang, BoomSlang...

The more I think about it, the more it sounds like the name of a high-school rock band trying to be edgy. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get used to it.

...if I become a success.

Ah, (Y/N), just sleep! Because you stay awake like this, you have these deep thoughts! Because you're awake, staring at your bedroom, fiddling with your fingers.

I guess it's just my nerdy nature. Yep, probably is.

I wanna raid some fridges again. I'm hungry.

Probably shouldn't, actually. Don't want that to happen again.

"Wakey wakey." I feel someone rub the side of my body. Couldn't tell who, I was too tired.

"Wha-"

"Your music video already has 1.5 million views. That's a good start." I wake up to see Yoongi standing by my bed, smiling. He looks good with a smile. But I'm still confused, how had I already got that much attention over a night?

"Bighit, SMTown and Pledis both put an introduction to you on their YouTube channels, I think that's what got you all the attention." He offers his hand. I take it and get out my bed.

"Thanks."

"You're very welcome, BoomSlang."

"(Y/N)!! THE VIDEO IS AMAZING!!" My good ol' pal Chen comes up to me, stretching out his arms. A big, warm smile is on his lips. I take the hug. Suho, Kyungsoo and Sehun stand by. After releasing my hug from Chen, the three jump onto me.

"Th-thanks guys..." Scratching my nape, I realise how kind my roommates are. I get out my phone, get onto YouTube and search up 'BoomSlang'. My music video, named "No shxt", had '1.6 million' next to it. The four EXO members look over my shoulders with excitement. I tap on the video. '500k likes, 50k dislikes'. Not the best I could expect, but never mind. I shrug at it, showing the people behind me that I don't mind. But I scroll down to the comments.

"'Kookies wife forever':

bs? no shit? more like bullshit lmao

fcking rapper wannabe ur a girl that dreses like a boy tf

whot shitty lyrics "no shit i will be a success" my ass lol

your a fukin mistake"

I purse my lips at that. Well, I'm not too intimidated, considering the fact their grammar is very bad. But the amount of likes it has make me feel a little upset. Just a bit. It had replies like:

"lol so tru"

"bet she plannin on bein trans lmao"

I inhale, knowing that although that there are many nice people in the world but there are just as many offensive people.

"ye she mistake"

Sehun hugs me hard from behind. Since we were still standing, I nearly lost balance, but I managed.

"You're not a mistake. We're here for you when you need us, remember that, (Y/N)." He whispers to me. I spin him around and hug him back. I kiss him rapidly on each cheek.

"Thank you." my voice muffles a bit, considering that my face was stuffed into his body trying to hug him back really hard.

*&£$%^^"£ POV:

I watch from behind a door. I hope my comment hurt her. I don't know why she's so special. She's not special, she's different. I want her to quit. I don't want her to become famous. She might become better than us. We might become unpopular. I'll admit, she could be good. She could take over our sales. What if my band becomes forgotten?

I don't want to see my hyungs suffer.

---

(Y/N) POV:

Ignoring that comment and the like-dislike ratio, most things were positive. The second most popular comment, which was only behind by ten likes, said:

"'Kay pawp is ma jam':

I don't know why some people are so negative. This girl could become really popular, I'm sure. She looks talented. I can't wait to see her progress."

These are the comments which make me smile. Most of them were English, quite a few Korean, and occasionally other languages.

"'Luhan is stalking you':

Besides, most debut videos are cringey. I bet she'll be really good some day."

That is true, that is true...

"Congratulations, (Y/N). You have already made over one million won worth on iTunes. We are relying on you, remember that. But we think you are doing very well." Sungsoo had texted me. I feel proud. One million won... that's a lot. I wonder how much I would make the more famous I become. Also, how often do I get paid? Hmm.

There isn't anyone in the house. I just went shopping for food, but covering my face this time in case someone might notice me. I doubt it, but you know, just in case. Then I had to carry all of the heavy food filled bags back by myself. I was strong enough, for sure, but it was quite tiring. Baekhyun left a note saying 'Manager told us to come, should be back in a few hours.' on a sticky note. It was stuck on the front door, and so was one from BTS. 'Busy'. Bit plain, but okay. Must have been in a rush. Then Jeonghan sent me a text saying 'Me and the boys have some business to do, sorry if it's inconvenient!' He's actually the only guy who has my number.

So, now I'm lying on my bed like a star fish, watching fan-cams of concerts.

"We're home~" I hear Jihoon's angelic voice. No wonder he's on the leader of the vocal team. Throw phone on bed, swing door open like maniac, run down stairs like kids at Christmas morning, go and see how the boys are doing.

"Welcome home!" I greet, my hands behind my back. I see Seungcheol holding a bag of things like towels, suncream etc. I don't think we'll need suncream when we go to the waterpark in a few days, but that's not something I can control. But Seungkwan is holding two plastic bags, one in each hand. It looks light. Since it's transparent, I notice that the left one has trunks in it. Understandable. The right one has...

...female swimsuits?

Why has Seungkwan got 'female swimsuits'?

You'll see, you'll see, you'll see...
