13: best of me.

"When you say that you love me, I walk above the clouds. Tell me about eternity just one more time. When you say that you love me, all I need is that one phrase, that you'll never change, just one more time."

The members were all there when they made their way back to the studio, either warming up their voices or staring at their phones. Yoongi was the first one to notice them.

"Ah, there they are! Now that you two are done flirting, let's get started," he said. Rein felt her face grow hot but said nothing. Namjoon wore a passive-aggressive smile as he walked further into the studio, but said nothing in the end as Yoongi began to talk. 

Turning to them, he said, "I was thinking Jimin could improvise some parts on the last bridge, and Rein could add some harmonies on the last chorus." 

There it is. She nodded, as well as Jimin.

"Why don't you go first, show me how it's done?" she asked. 

"I'll try..." Jimin entered the recording booth and gave the go-ahead for the music to start. He added a few high notes and harmonies that complimented Jungkook's voice well, and though she could tell they were practiced, it still sounded like ad-libbing, which was effective.

"I think I can do that," Rein said, and once she got the go-ahead, she entered the booth and put on the headphones. After some hesitation, the track played. She sang the key harmonies which were clearly evident to her, then added some high notes at the end of the next takes, letting the track run its course. She requested to do it a few more times, as she wanted them to use as little autotune as possible. After the fourth one, Namjoon gave her a thumbs up.

"That'll work," he said. She grinned, then came back into the studio, Namjoon giving her a high-five upon her entering. After talking to Mr. Shin for a few moments, Yoongi walked over to the members.

"Congratulations, everyone. The recording to 'Wings' is finally finished!" he yelled as the room erupted into cheers.

"Really? It was that easy?" Rein asked.

"Who's easy?" Namjoon retorted, earning a shove from Jimin.

"We have to edit and refine the sound a bit, but for the members, everything is finished, yes," Yoongi said with a smile as he went on ignoring the leader's comment.

That's rare.

"I think we should celebrate!" Hoseok exclaimed, his eyes growing bright.

"Didn't we already celebrate, like, a day ago?" Jungkook asked. Jin linked arms with Hoseok and wiggled his finger at Jungkook.

"You should leave the planning to the hyungs," he said with a wink.

Taehyung commented from beside him, "Yeah, Kookie. And anyway, you don't like celebrating only because you're such a lightweight." 

Jungkook tsked, proclaiming, "Oh yeah? Well, the reason why Hoseok-hyung wants to celebrate so much is because he wants an excuse to drink!" Hoseok gasped.

"I can't believe my own brother," he cried, putting the maknae in a headlock, "would dare accuse me of being an alcoholic!" Rein couldn't help but giggle.
