BTS Eighth Member | The Life: Year 2014

Chapter 33- Dark and Wild Showcase

Author's Note at the End :)

August 19th, 2014:

We were having our 4th comeback with Dark and Wild. We had shot everything, which included two music videos and one photoshoot, for this comeback back in May. The album had two title tracks: Danger and War of Hormones. Once again, for War of Hormones, we took a sarcastic approach, with my lines in parallel with the boys' lines that were objectifying women. My lines corrected the boy's stereotypical views of girls and told them how girls really felt.

Melon was sponsoring a showcase and it would be our first major comeback with a proper 1-hour showcase attended specifically by our fans. I was really excited and proud that we were doing this, however, as always, I couldn't catch a break. My period had started yesterday, and as most women know, the second day is always the worst. I had noticed my periods had been worse than in the past, probably due to stress and fatigue, but this month was worse than usual.

It was 5am, and I had to be at the company at 6, but I just couldn't get myself out of bed due to the pain, my cramps were just so bad.

"Y/N?" I feel younger Eunbi poke me, "Y/N, don't you have to be at the company soon?"

I hum in pain.

"Did you get your period?" she asks sympathetically.

"Yeah," I huff, turning my head on my pillow to face her, "it really hurts".

"Let me get you some painkillers," she says before going out of the room to the bathroom.

I slowly turn myself around and sit up, still in pain grabbing my stomach area.

"Here," she says, handing me a couple of pills with a water bottle.

"Thank you," I reply sincerely, taking both.

"Here, I got you some clothes," 97' Eunbi comes in with some leggings and one of the boys' tops, "Eunbi told me".

I nod and get down from my bunk groaning. A few trainees were still sleeping, while some were up doing homework or making breakfast. I take the clothes and go to the bathroom to take a shower, wash my face, put my clothes on and gather all my tampons and pads. I open the door and see my bag next to it, one of the Eunbi's must have put it there. I shove my hygiene products in it and swing it on my back. The pain killers were slowly taking effect, but I still felt like every big movement was painful, especially stretching.

"Ready?" I hear younger Eunbi ask from the entrance area.

"You're going to Bighit? Don't you have school?" I question.

"We do, but it's only at 8, we can go from the company," 97' Eunbi explains, "we don't want you to go alone in your condition".

I smile, they really were true friends. I talked with them less than I used due to my busy schedule, but I knew they would always be there for me.

We get to the building at 6:30. I rush as fast as I could, given my condition, to the practice room. I had texted the boys and Sejin that I would be late and Sejin was not happy. I said goodbye to the Eunbi's at the door because I knew they had to get to school and probably finish some last-minute homework.
