July 16th, 2013:

I was woken up by Yoona when we got to our next shoot. She then nodded towards Taehyung, who was sleeping on my shoulder, indicating that I should wake him as well. I woke a disgruntled Taehyung up before looking around to see where we were. I had looked at the entire Rookie King Schedule, but I forgot what we were doing today since I had only really looked at it when it was given to us last week. I was usually one to go with the flow which didn't always please the managers.

A flashing neon sign told me we were at a karaoke place.


"Are we doing karaoke?" I ask Yoona.


"No, you're shooting another King of End Plates segment. Did you not read the schedule?" responds Yoona looking at me a little disapprovingly.


"I did, just forgot," I answer giving her my most charming smile.


"Planning on getting out? I promise we'll make sure you won't throw up this time," says Namjoon who was sitting in the back of the van and waiting for me to get out so he could as well.


"Yeah, sorry," I reply chuckling.


We slowly file out with Jungkook, Seokjin, and Yoongi coming out of the other van. We walk into the establishment and are ushered into one of their rooms. I saw a few confused customers looking at us and wondering what such a large group was doing. Hopefully one day they would recognise us. I go to walk into the room the boys were rushed into, but Yoona takes my hand and walks me to the room next to it.


"You guys have to change," she says answering my sad look.


"I can't help but feel lonely every time I'm given a separate room. It's a constant reminder I'm different," I huff.


"I know, it really sucks, but that's just how it is. Sorry," Yoona replies giving me an understanding look while handing me my change of clothes. I changed my almost all-white look for an almost all-black one.


Once I finished changing, Yoona led me to another room that had all the cameras and crew in it. Jungkook, Yoongi, and Seokjin were already sitting waiting for everyone to arrive. I slide in the left booth beside Jungkook.


"I always forget you have to change in a different room. I was worried you weren't feeling well when I saw you weren't with us," whispers Jungkook.


"Yeah, it sucks. Don't worry though, I'm A-ok today. No weird food has been ingested... so far," I reply quietly, giggling at the end.


Jungkook chuckles in reply and goes back to sitting in silence waiting for the other members to change.

Finally, all the members were seated around the table. Taehyung had slid in beside me, so I was in between Taehyung and Jungkook on the left booth that also had Seokjin at the end nearest the camera next to Jungkook. The right booth had Yoongi closest to the camera, then Jimin and Hoseok. Namjoon was sitting at the top of the table in a chair.


"This will be the same format as yesterday, just different punishments obviously," explains the writers, "here are the cards to find the King."
