전 소민 (8th member of BTS)

Chapter 7

"RISE AND SHINE BXTCHES IT'S RECORDING DAY!" Tae and Hoseok, like hyperactive kids, were rushing to wake everyone. Somin sat up, disheveled and drowsy. Her hair was unkempt, and her pajamas were bunched and wrinkled. She was not at all camera ready. After 30 minutes, she came out dressed, with base makeup.

"I'm excited, excited!" Somin gave a thumbs up to Hobi and Tae. Everyone was ready and was waiting on her.

"Sorry, my hair was a mess..." Somin said.

"C'mon, let's go." Yoongi said as they all went to get in the van. After 15 minutes, they arrived, getting out of the van. This recording thing was a big deal, and would take several days to complete. Once they got inside, a woman showed them to the set. The woman, upon seeing Somin, froze in her tracks.

"Oh... I didn't realize there was a... lineup change..." She stared at Minnie for a long time, who shifted uncomfortably. "Well, no matter. I'll just edit the line distribution."

"What was that about?" Somin whispered to Namjoon.

"Miss Ahn is very specific about her line distribution." He shrugged.

"Oh, I hope I didn't mess it up..." Somin said, looking concerned.

"Nothing to lose sleep over." Yoongi said nonchalantly. After about 15 minutes, Miss Ahn was done with her edits, handing the papers back.

"Wow... this is really happening... we're really gonna debut..." She held the papers to her chest, smiling warmly.

"Yes, is this new information for you?" Yoongi said, as Somin rolled her eyes.

"Okay, so we're recording oldest to youngest. Seokjin, you're first." Jin nodded, getting in the booth.

"Aish, Jin has so few lines..." Somin said, looking at the distribution as Jimin nodded. As everyone took their turns in the booth, Somin couldn't help but admire everyone's skills. The vocalists Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook all had strong voices that complimented the song. But the rappers really shocked her. RM, Suga, and J-hope had such unique rap tones, and she leaned forward in interest. Unfortunately, she leaned too far, falling out her chair and onto the floor. She quickly stood up, hiding her blushing from her snickering bandmates. After what felt like forever, it was Minnie's turn. She stepped into the recording booth, pulling her hair back and putting on the headphones. Clearing her throat, she waited for her turn. Clearing her throat, she sang her part.

The guys had heard Somin sing before, but they weren't prepared to hear her like this. Her voice wasn't delicate like they expected. It was powerful and clear, reaching high notes easily.

"Whoa..." Jin whispered.

As Somin stepped out of the booth, she gave a confused look. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Just... wasn't what I was expecting." Namjoon said, as Jimin nodded, awestruck.

"Thanks... I think?" Minnie tilted her head, sitting back down. After 15 minutes, Somin, who was dozing, was pulled to her feet by Hoseok.
"C'mon, we're done, it's time for the photoshoot." Somin groaned, shuffling behind her bandmates. The photoshoot was only a couple blocks away, so they were able to walk. Eventually, they arrived, and a woman was already waiting for them. She pointed them toward a dressing room. All of the members walked into the dressing room.

"Uhmm..." Namjoon said, as everyone looked awkwardly at Somin.

"Huh? O-Oh, right. Sorry." Completely red-faced, Somin bowed, quickly getting out. She was getting so used to this 'one of the guys' style, sometimes she forgot she wasn't actually one of the guys. As she waited outside, she hummed the debut song to herself. She was really excited for the MV shooting, which was happening in about a week. However, she knew she'd have to work overtime to nail this choreography. Maybe Hoseok would help her. In the middle of her thoughts, the door flung open and Yoongi and Jin came out.

"Ah, you look good!" Somin smiled, clapping. Jin struck a model pose and even Yoongi cracked a smile. Soon after, everyone else came out, and Somin walked into the dressing room, immediately tripping over a poorly placed duffel bag. She scoffed. Men. As she put on the outfit chosen for her, which had found its place haphazardly tossed in the corner, she continued thinking about her time here. Hitman Bang had chosen her for a reason. Out of 30, 40 trainees, he'd chosen her, the only girl. Hopefully he'd made the right choice. She sighed, putting on the cheap chain. How much did this cost, three dollars? Fully dressed, she emerged.

"How do I look? On second thought, don't answer that." She said, looking at everyone.

"Relax, you look fine." Yoongi said, looking at the people setting up the camera.

"Yoongi, you're not even looking at me." Somin said flatly, as Mr. Kim, an seemingly overeager and over-caffeinated photographer approached them.

"Alright, we're doing individual shots first, then group photos, alright. Youngest first, Jungkook, Somin, Taehyung, so on and so forth." he waved his hand as Jungkook followed. Everyone sat down, waiting for him to finish, as Taehyung, Hoseok and Somin cheered words of encouragement from the sidelines, causing Kookie to look away in embarrassment. After that, it was Somin's turn.
