The 8th member | BTS ff

Innocence: claiming belongings

- Taehyung's POV -

Everyone's eyes are glued to the screen. Yeah, Jungkook's dancing is extremely impressive but Leila's...it is incredible. We've seen her dance before but not under this intensity and not for this length of time. Her stamina is outstanding. Her body contorts in ways that showcase her figure but the fluidity of her lives are beautiful.

I can't get over her. I know she's going out with Yoongi and he's my friend but I can't let someone like her slip through my fingers. My love is strong but the timing is wrong, maybe love decided that we didn't belong but I will keep fighting for her.

I never thought I would fall in love, because I didn't want my happiness to depend on whether a person gives me attention or not. I don't want to stay up late wondering if I'm on her mind as she sleeps. I don't want to cry over someone that may not care. I don't want to stare at my phone screen in the hope that they will send me a text. Most importantly, I don't want to give someone the power to destroy me.

I won't let that one day come where I'm watching her holding hands with someone new who took my chance. The day that she won't even notice me because she's laughing at their stupid jokes. I won't let my heart burn seeing that beautiful smile on her face and realising I'm not the reason anymore. I won't let it hit me that it was her; it's always been her.

But she doesn't love me, she loves someone else...

I look around at all of the members who's eyes are stuck to the screen and their pupils dilated. Yoongi is smirking smugly at all the other members and then turns his head back to the screen.

That's when I notice, all of the members have a pillow over their crotches. Seriously? I looked over to Jin who was the only one not with a pillow but that's when I remembered that he's gay for Namjoon.

I turn my focus back to the screen as the hours pass watching them dance. Nobody has looked away or got up to go to the toilet. I've heard a mumbles cussed under some of the members breathe when Leila's dance section came on which was extremely risky. I'm glad that Yoongi didn't hear what the members were saying about Leila because frankly they would be handing by their insides right now.

Some of the members are even recording this but I try to slap their phones down and look at them disappointedly but they don't care and carry on. I'm started to get slightly worried about how long they have been working. It's 3:28am and they've been dancing for two hours straight which isn't healthy.

"I'm going to go down and tell them to stop, they are overworking themselves." I alerted the members who reluctantly agreed because they wanted to keep watching Leila's dance with Jungkook.

"Wait Tae, they've finished." Hoesok informed me pointing to the screen showing Jungkook and Leila sweating on the floor with cold water bottles pressed against their heads. I chuckled at their lack of communication because of their fatigue. (Taehyung or Yoongi for Leila to end up with/ plot twist: Jungkook and Taehyung)

- Leila's POV -

Me and Jungkook have practised for four hours straight. My limbs are aching and I'm drenched in sweat. I look over to Jungkook only to see that he is the exact same position. He's lying on the ground panting with a cold water bottle lying on his forehead.

"Are you alright..?" I manage to choke out during my heavy sharp breaths. He tilts his head slowly to face me as he is clutching his chest on the floor. He nods because he is too exhausted to speak which is relatable at this point in time.
