Stage 3

Chapter Four: Stage 3

Things were not really rowdy or loud in our dorm. You, Jin and Yoongi were quite and peaceful people. And when he was out of sunshine character, so was Hoseok.

Although Namjoon couldn't really be placed in the peaceful category, except with the occasional breaking and missing items, you could see a tiny bit of awkwardness from him with all of your relationships.

Maybe it was because he sometimes had conflicts whether to be a leader or a friend during situations.

Or maybe because you knew that everyone liked their own space.

And that was what made the dorm so quiet.

Besides, there was no one that felt like speaking when they were dead tired from countless hours of practice and on a strict diet.

Especially you.

--

But of course everything changed when the fire nation atta- I mean when Jungkook came back.

"There was another Y/N?!" Also you might have forgotten to mention to Jin that you had a twin brother. Though you could see them quickly getting along because unlike you, Jungkook was more outgoing.

"Hey, Hyung." Jungkook grinned at the others.

And from the corner of your eyes, you saw a soft spark appear from their eyes.

You could tell that they were happy.

Their little brother came back.

And you were happy too.

You had too right?

--

"Kookie, stop using my shampoo!" you complained towards your twin who was clinging onto your waist.

He had missed you so much.

"But I wanna have the same scent as you. We always had the same smell." He whined and continued to say that hugging you was just an excuse for more scent to be rubbed off.

Weird kid.

"Wow dude, even I'm not that close to my sister." You saw Hoseokie-hyung come in and witness the scene.

"Hyung didn't you know? Twincest is wincest!" Kookie yelled with one hand pumped into the air.

What the actual hell did they teach you.

.

.

"KOOKIE STOP HUMPING ME!"

You were all exhausted from all the lessons. You had language classes, dance practice, vocal/rap classes and model lessons today, to top it all off all you had was stupid freaking chicken breast for lunch.

The team didn't even have an official song or debut theme yet. The staff was constantly thinking of either kicking one of us out or to add more people in.

Nothing was official. No one could relax knowing that one day their hard work might all be for nothing.

You could see everyone losing weight, especially you because you were the one that needed help the most.

You needed to improve your rap and dance skills.

You had to learn how to relax in front of the camera and you couldn't always stay quiet when they were having a trial film run.

This wasn't healthy.

This was so tiring.

You could occasionally hear Yoongi Hyung softly crying in the studio whenever you came to visit.

You could see the heavy eye bags under Namjoon Hyung's eyes.

You could notice the self-confidence of Jin Hyung's slow dying because he was scouted for his looks, he needed to improve on singing, and getting constantly criticised from Manager Ken wasn't helping either.

You were aware of Hoseok Hyung's happy character appearing less and less. He was so tired, he had took extra hours to practice his style of rap and dance moves because he wasn't confident in his voice no matter how much you told him it was beautiful.

You could also see that your brother has changed. All he wanted to do was dance once he had gotten back, as if he had forgotten all about his voice. He was constantly getting scold for not improving better that he was becoming arrogant.

And yet, here you were.

You had already expected the harsh and hard work you had to put into improving because you already knew you weren't good enough. You could take all the scoldings and disappointed faces anytime and you wouldn't shed a tear, and yet looking at your members so tired and exhausted made you sadder than ever.

You were the youngest here.

The team had a responsible feeling to take necessary care of you.

But they needed more care for themselves.

--

"Jin hyung! Put that down!" You scolded Jin from licking the cream from the bowl.

You had taken the initiative to bake your group members some treats to ease their stress. It was nothing too overly sweet to effect their diet as it was just simple biscuits with very little sugar.

Even though you yourself would rather lay on the bed and take a nap like how Yoongi is right now, you much rather see the faces of excited members.

Besides, you heard a new member was coming, so you made sure to make extras.

Ding Dong

Yes the installed voice was Jungkook saying Ding Dong. How he convinced the managers we will never know.

"I'll get it!" You heard Hoseokie say.

You hurriedly cleaned your hands to greet the new member.

You walked out of the kitchen and saw a slightly taller boy wearing a super red padded jacket beside him was an older man standing at the doorway.

"Hello, I'm Kim Taehyung's dad. I have to go soon because the car is blocking the door." he greeted us as he dropped the last of his son's baggage and bid us bye.

Taehyung greeted us with a boxy smile and a little wave on his right hand, "Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Kim Taehyung."

Remember how you said that the dorm was peaceful and quiet?

You were lying.
