Author note: Above is what I picture Percy to look like, but with a better hairstyle. I picture longer hair on the top, but with the sides buzzed a little. I'll leave it up to y'all to picture Percy, but this is my opinion.


'Well this is a surprise' I thought to myself. I wasn't expecting this as my welcome back present for my last mission.

"It's a pleasure to meet you PDnim sir," I say to him in Korean while making the customary 90-degree bow as a sign of respect. As I straighten out, I can see my commander looking at me with a twinkle in his eye, but I don't know if it's a good thing or not.

PDnim nods his head toward me and start to look me over. He walks around me, checking out me uniform and overall posture.

'Why am I getting looked at my companies when I auditioned years ago?' I questioned to myself. PDnim finally finished whatever he was doing and faced me again.

"I know this is sudden, but I would like for you to join a new and upcoming group under my company Big Hit. I know its sudden, but the company thinks you will be a great much needed addition to this group."

I turned to look at my commander in officer, "Permission to speak freely Sir" I ask. 'Its important to show proper respect and all.' My commander nods his head while standing up. He walks around his desk and stops by my shoulder on his way out to the room. "Whatever your answer to his proposal is, I want you to know that you have been an amazing asset to my teams stationed here and no matter your decision, imp round of the man you have become."

With his piece said, he leaves and it's just PDnim and me alone. I move over to the chairs and ask if he would like to sit down because I have a feeling this will be a long conversation.

"So" I start out, "what has Big Hit so interested in me when I audition years ago?"

"For starters, we weren't looking to forma new group for some time. Then, a few trainees came in and we paired them together to get a new group started. We started looking for new people to audition and soon enough, we found to right people."

"But Sir, if you have a new group already debuted, why come to me, someone who audition years ago, to want me in this group. I would be disrupting the chemistry in the group."

"While that would be true, this group has been expecting a new member since they found out. They want a new member for the parts they themselves cannot fill.'

I leaned back in my seat with a hand rubbing my chin and the stubble that has surely grown in my absence while on a mission. PDnim was quietly giving me time to think his offer over.

'Well, I really want to take up his offer, but what about my tour? I don't want to have to end it when I only have 2 months left. '

I would have to leave behind my life like it is now. I have established a good job, nice family, and an amazing life should I choose to continue down this path. On the other hand, the life of an idol would certainly be an improvement to being shot at all the time, not that I could die anyway. Being able to make music and dance, which I absolutely love doing, wand meeting amazing people would be a plus. I could also come back if it doesn't work out anyway.

I lean forward in my chair to ask a few other questions just to make sure of my decision.

"Why now have you spoke with me? I know I auditioned, but that was a long time ago."

PDnim, now noticing that I am in serious mode, begins to answer my questions while also trying to get me to accept his offer.

"Every few years we go through the archives to watch any of the auditions we missed watching. If we find a candidate we think we would want, we follow up on the to see where they are at in careers, life, family and if we would still want them as a trainee." He paused to see if I was following him.

I motioned him to keep talking, as I knew exactly what he was talking about. We do the same thing in the SEALS, but we see if we still need to kill the person or not.

"We saw your audition and knew you would be a possible fit to BTS. I tasked my whole team to find anything and everything about you they could. We came together in one big room to share what everyone had learned. Imagine my surprise when I found out you have published your very own thesis and has a IQ many people only hope to have. We did a deep dive on you and found out you were in the military and currently on tour. I called your commander, after multiple calls to and from other high-ranking officials to even get to call him, and asked about you. He said very good things about you and I had to ask when your tour was up and to possibly meet you. The rest you know."

After he finished, I got up to pace around the room. I have always paced around wherever I was to think. It was on of the quirks about me. I even paced t think about what ice cream flavor wanted one time. But back on topic, I have already made my decision, but I didn't just want to up and leave when I was so close to finishing my tour.

"When would I have to leave for South Korea?" I ask in a no nonsense way. I have one of my serious faces on. The one that demands an 'honest answer or you die' kind of face. PDnim swallows nervously but I can tell he is trying to hide it.

"You will have to leave when your tour is up. You will be flying straights there to meet the boys and settle into the dorm, if you decide to come. "

"What about clothes? What I'm wearing and a few other uniforms are all I own at the moment."

"Once you arrive and have a good nights rest, some of the stylists will be taking you to get clothes better suited for an idol and to get some everyday clothes."

'Ok' I think. 'This better be worth all the money spent on me and the amount of work I've put into my military life.' I walk over to PDnim from my pacing and put out my hand.

"You have yourself the new BTS member."
