My Idol

seventeen

You pouted, turning around and throwing yourself on the bed. Terrence bounced, falling on his face. "Serves ya right, you heartless beast."

The day dragged, and you were bored and hungry by the time 9pm rolled around. Taehyung must have forgotten you. Maybe he fell asleep after practice. You were sure it was tiring, and you weren't upset at all. Just lonely.

You had called your mom earlier, and spent an hour talking to her, telling her all about Seoul, how beautiful it is, how you'd made friends right away. You didn't tell her your friends were apparently famous. She probably wouldn't have believed you anyway. She was happy that you were doing well, telling you that you sounded better, more relaxed, happy.

After hanging up with her, you'd spent some time on your laptop, watching more BTS videos. You ended up watching a lot of their earlier stuff, from when they debuted. They were all so cute, especially Jimin. His cute little cheeks were too much.

You eventually found videos that were about them individually, and watched one for each one of them, curious about the 7 men who had befriended you.

You weren't surprised to learn that Kim Namjoon, aka RM, was the leader of the group. He had that quality about him, plus he had been the one to inform the rest about their meeting the day you'd met them all, so it made sense. You smiled at hearing that he was clumsy, and often broke things without trying. You learned that he was a rapper, and had released a solo mixtape titled "RM" in 2015. You made a mental note to look that up.

You were surprised to learn that Jin, full name Kim Seokjin, was the oldest of the 7, and basically the "mom" of the group, making sure they all ate, keeping them all in line when neccessary. He also was known to tell jokes that apparently weren't always funny. He referred to himself as "worldwide handsome." His solo songs were titled "Awake" and "Epiphany."

Min Yoongi aka Suga, the quiet mint haired man you'd met last, was generally the calm one of the 7, but he had his moments. He liked sleep. He was the grandpa of the group. He was an amazing rapper. "Agust D" is his solo mixtape from 2016. There was a short compilation of him rapping, that had your chin practically resting on the table. You'd be looking up more videos on that, without a doubt.

J-hope, full name Jung Hoseok, aka Hobi, was the sunshine of the group. Rarely seen without a bright smile, he kept everyone's spirits up. Hated snakes. He was also a rapper, and main dancer, often teaching the others some of the more difficult choreography. He was everyone's hope, and angel. Released his solo mixtape "Hope World" in 2018.

Jimin, full name Park Jimin, the groups cute little mochi, (you'd made a note to look up mochi) takes care of everyone and always makes sure they are comfortable. Has the most precious laugh. Jibooty? Is also a main dancer, and lead vocal. His solos were titled "Lie" and "Serendipity."

Taehyung, full name Kim Taehyung aka "V", almost wasn't part of BTS. He came to the audition to support a friend, and was urged by staff to audition. He was kept a secret till debut. Has the deepest voice in the group. Part of vocal line. A lead dancer. He loves animals, and has the most pets of all the members. Also loves kids. His solo songs are "Stigma" and "Singularity." Wrote a song called "4 o'clock" with RM which they recorded together. Also acted in a drama series titled "Hwarang, the poet warrior youth"...you were definitely going to look that up.

Jungkook, full name Jeon Jeongguk, maknae, which if you understood correctly meant the youngest, main vocalist, lead dancer, good at everything. Very athletic. Seems to always be eating. Bunny teeth. His solo songs were titled "Begin" and "Euphoria."

Each video had been at least 30 minutes long, taking up a good part of the day, and giving you so much more that you obviously wanted to look up. Come to find out that RM, J-hope and Suga also each had a solo song on their most recent album that hadn't shown up in the videos you'd just watched. These guys were something, and you still couldn't believe that you had never heard of them, and you wanted to know everything you could about them.
