11 | red carpet

four days after the arrival in los angeles

"see you soon!" i smiled and waved to an ama's staff's phone, they opened up snapchat and started recording us all for the feature page.

we all started to get ready, the boys wearing their usual, classy and stylish.

i wore a black cape-dress. it flared slightly ending just above the knees. the sleeves cut off mid-arm. a white collar lining the neck. the ends were embroidered with flowers, the signature female gucci look.

it felt weird, going from normal clothes, to wearing gucci, and chanel on the daily. not that i was complaining.

my hair was parted in the middle, and straightened so it laid on my shoulders.

"woo! ani looking good!" namjoon laughed, walking over me to give a high five.

"you as well." i smiled and curtsied playfully.

"red carpet, two minutes." sohee called. everyone turned to her and nodded, a string of  "okay"s flowing throughout the dressing room.

once the boys finished touching up their hair, we all walked near the door and left, getting into the car. it was a short drive to the red carpet.

once we arrived the door opened and one by one we all filed out. the screams from the fans that had been waiting started. "hello!" hoseok yelled, waving to as many as he could.

the rest of us waved and smiled, walking past them and over to the carpet. i looked around and gasped slightly, hundreds of western celebrities were walking the same carpet as us.

"this is crazy." i whispered, my eyes trying to look at everyone.

taehyung laughed and tugged at my wrist, pulling me forward with the rest of the group. we started our first interview, someone from 'e news'.

taking place in english

"okay so rm you are the only one that can speak english right?" she asked, holding the mic up to him.

"oh no, actually, ani is from america, so she speaks the best english." he nodded and smiled, motioning over to me.

"oh i didn't even notice you!" she laughed awkwardly. i nodded and forced a smile onto my lips. "you're the newest addition to bts correct?"

"yes i am. i just got added a few weeks ago." i said, jin pushed me forward a bit so i wasn't hiding behind him. i internally groaned and stepped forward.

"how is it? being in a group with seven handsome boys?"

"um it's pretty great. they're all super fun and kind, i've quickly grown to love them!" i laughed and nodded, holding my hands in front of me.

"i see you all came together, but none of you have girlfriends? or a boyfriend? where are they?" she asked the whole group.

everyone looked around at eachother, the world going silent for a good five seconds. "we have like, thousands of them here. our armys" namjoon said, clapping his hands together.

"i mean your real dates."

"that's not something we're really worried about right now." namjoon nodded, smiling widely, meaning he was starting to get sick of this interviewer, he hid it well, but it was something i picked up on quickly.

after we finished up a few more unnecessary questions we moved onto the rest of our interviews. stopping to talk to a few other celebrities on the way.

"hey bts! nice to meet you guys!" a female voice said, we all turned around to meet a group of girls traveling together. 

they looked familiar, actresses maybe.

they conversed with the boys for a few minutes, i kept my eyes forward, humming softly. being the newest and most unknown member, no one was eager to talk with me, which i was fine with. i wasn't good at the whole talking thing anyways.

"you're jungkook, right?" one of the taller ones asked. i looked over at jungkook, namjoon was talking with someone else, so he had no one to help.

"uh, yes!" he nodded, smiling.

"can we exchange phone numbers? to be friends?" she asked, making the signs of holding up a phone to her ear, like she was talking to a toddler.

"numbers? my phone number?" jungkook asked, looking around slightly, patting his pockets. 

"yeah!"

"okay, 082-67-89.." jungkook continued. i quickly pulled out my phone and scrolled through my contacts, clicking on one of our managers numbers. exact same.

i covered my mouth to hold in a laugh and put my phone back into my clutch.

after they were done she nodded and walked away. i walked over to jungkook, "manager-nim's number?" i asked, going back to the language he could understand.

he nodded and shrugged, "i can't speak english, didn't want to be rude." he smiled and looked over at me.

"smooth."

trying to quickly get the amas done so i can be caught up with real time. forgive me for rushing.
