Hidden 8th | BTS

Stage 10

Chapter Eleven: Stage 10

You plopped yourself onto the wooden dance floor. You guys were having dance practice sessions. The boys needed to practice their 7 members choreography for the next album then move on with the 8 members steps.

You were going to debut much later on so you couldn't help but feel guilty on burdening your members with two versions of the same songs.

You watched them dance to Sliver Spoon and giggle every now and then when RM got confused on the steps. You were on break for now as you wiped your sweat off. You check the clock on the wall, 6:27pm. It was near dinner time and you figured the boys wouldn't be done for another hour even though you could of swore you heard Jin's stomach growling.

The staff and managers weren't here because they were called in for a meeting so you figured you would go out and by back some chicken or lamb skewers. You didn't bother to inform the members that you were going out since they looked so focus into the dance, so you quietly took your coat and walked out.

--

You had your hood and mask on while holding a big bag with huge food containers in them, you made sure ordered extra for the staff and also because the boys were big eaters.

Some fangirls had spotted you while you were waiting for your order and shyly asked you for an autograph.

Well, Jungkook's autograph.

You apologetically denied them by saying you were another person that only had similar features of Kookie. Well, it was true. Besides, you shouldn't do anything that might harm the bands reputation.

It was already bad enough.

You stopped midwalk as you felt your phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Y/N! Where are you??" you heard Hobi yelled at the other end.

"I went to get you guys something to eat, I'll be right back."

"Really? Did you get kimchi fried rice too?"

"Yes Hobi, I got your kimchi fried rice."

"WOOHOO! GUYS! Y/N GOT US FOOD!" You quickly held the phone away from your ear once Hobi started screaming along with the others, and ended the call.

You smiled behind the mask and tucked your phone away and quickly speed walk back.

A bookstore caught your attention though. It was decorated like a bakery, cute and homely. But what caught your attention was the sale that it was having.

Joonie would love this.

Better yet, his birthday was coming too. A quick glance wouldn't hurt. So you crossed the street and lightly ran into the surprisingly empty store. Namjoon would always read the physiological genre in the book the section, so you figured a nice fantasy book would give him a good change.

Also because you were absolutely sure he didn't own any fantasy genre books but you weren't sure which physiological books he didn't have.

You lightly speed walked across the book section, glancing and turning your head left and right for an interesting title. You didn't have time to read each and every description on the books and you certainly don't think that you'll have another opportunity to come out like this again without them following you.

And among the sea of bright yellow and pink stood a light blue line. You came to a halt and pulled out the blue book without a second thought, it was thinner compared to the other books around it, and one could easily miss it if they weren't paying attention because it was squashed between two heavily thick book. You were glad that it was thinner as that meant Joonie would possibly have enough time to read finish it since his schedule was quite busy.

You grinned and ran to pay for the book. You then proceeded to quickly walk back before the food got anymore colder. All the while clutching onto the paper bag that had the book in it on your chest.

You had a quick glance at the description behind the cover before, you were pretty sure it was interesting enough, heck even you were interested in reading it.

For the book was titled The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.

--

"Y/N THE FOOD IS COLD!"

"SHUT UP!"

--

I know it's pretty short. No drama either. Idk it just feels nice to have an ordinary simple chapter?

I think...hm...

Well anyway, I have a question, nothing to do with the story. Have you had cases where you tried your best to be a friendly warm person but people still see you as a person who would rather be left alone? 

Is it because of the aura you give? But idk how does one even read auras?? Like ?_?
