the 8th member | BTS [under editing]

PD Bang walked into his room, resting himself on his chair. Then, a woman, his assistant, came into his office with a few files. "Morning, sir. Today we don't have any schedules, but the next debut group will meet with you in an hour-" He eyed his watch before looking back at his assistant, "Call them right now. I have something to inform them in private." The younger woman nodded her head before excusing herself.

Bangtan members were practicing a new choreography for their debut. Sweat and tears were their friends right now. All they could feel nowadays was pain, but no one could complain. Why? It's probably because this is their dream, they want it, and they can't complain. There were a lot of mistakes that they made by some of the members, but they all immediately helped each other, knowing that not everyone is a dancing machine.

Suddenly the song for their debut stopped, and all eyes averted on their choreographer, Sungdeuk. "Guys! Come here!!" This man over here was the one who always helped them, no matter what, to perform a perfect performance. The eight walked weakly toward the older man since they had already danced their butt off since this morning. They were tired.

Sometimes they think about how often they need to listen to their debut song until they perform on the stage. They didn't expect and want many people watching them on the stage. They want at least a few people who will appreciate their works and music.

"Yes, hyung. What is it?" The leader of the group asked. The older man motioned them to follow him without answering first.

"This is PD Bang's office, right?" The youngest one now asked in a terrifying voice. Everyone could tell that the youngest was scared. "Go inside. PD Bang wants to talk to all of you." Sungdeuk calmly said. Before he could walk away, the group leader grabbed his arm.

"Is he going to hold our d-debut date?" At this state, every trainee wanted to debut. They are all desperate. Some of the trainees get themself into big entertainment or likely said the big three entertainments, which are JYP Entertainment, YG Entertainment, and SM Entertainment. Knowing they were under a small entertainment company made them even more desperate.

"I'm not sure about that, but I don't think so." The head choreographer said. A few members sighed in relief. "Go inside." And all of them went inside after trying to make themself a bit decent to look at after hours of practicing dance.

The CEO's office wasn't big or too small, just comfortable enough for all nine males. The leader coughed softly as he looked up at the older man, and he couldn't read his face at all.

"So I called all of you guys here today because I want to talk about something," He said calmly as he looked at all the younger men. They looked curious, scared, and nervous, just named it.

They all said okay in unison before the older man started to talk again. "So I have news for you guys, a new member will be added to your group." All of them gasped softly before looking at each other. They were all shocked, yet no one dared to speak, even the leader or the oldest one.

"Why? There will be 9 of us," One of them asked. He was mad indeed. "Just because she's very talented and will fit your group-" He cut PD Bang's words, "What do you mean? The new member is a girl? Just tell us the real reason, sir. I know her family is rich, and probably that is why she's here, right?" He snorted at the older man.

Before the CEO could speak, the leader grabbed his arm. "Stop it, Donghyuk-ah. Listen first, okay." He just sighed loudly before nodding his head.

Donghyuk, known as a Supreme Boi, was one of the members of the underground rap crew (DNH). Originally five members were supposed to be in BTS, but then 3 of them left because they didn't want an idol life. The CEO just shook his head, reacting to Supreme Boi's behavior. He changed a lot since the other rappers left. Their leaving affects him. "Stop assuming something is not true, Donghyuk. I just met her yesterday, and she's a very talented girl."

Other members nodded, knowing that it wouldn't change anything if they said something. The leader, Namjoon, known as Rapmonster, knew they all wanted to refuse or say no, but they couldn't. A few years ago, a boy from Daegu who was added to the group seemed like he came from a wealthy family, wearing all fancy when he first came to the dorm but no. Kim Taehyung, or known as V, has a very bubbly character, soft-hearted, sometimes weird, but very nice.

They all became more sensitive after Taehyung was added. They were scared that there would be more members in BTS.

"I will meet her again in an hour. Go rest in your dorm after 3 hours. Come back here, okay?" He said softly, "I know you guys are mad and shocked, but I swear this girl will be the last member, and you'll be thankful when I add her to your group," He added before motioning all of them to leave his room to go rest. All of them bowed at him before leaving the room. The youngest grabbed the oldest arm tightly because he was a bit scared whenever his brothers argued.

"Donghyuk-ah!! Donghyuk! Don't leave me like this! Talk to me, please." Donghyuk ignored the leader and walked even faster, leaving all the members like that. Namjoon ran towards him, grabbing his arms tightly. "What? What again??!" he snapped at Namjoon. "Where are you going? We should go back to our dorm, remember?" Namjoon said.

"No, I'm not going there anymore!! I can't ... I'm so sick of being like this, Namjoon! We're underground rappers. Do you expect me to be like this? Tell me!" Donghyuk grabbed Namjoon's collar shirt before pinning him to the wall. "Why don't I leave like others, huh? Why do I have to listen to you? I don't know why!!" He yelled at the leader.

All the members tried to stop their arguments, even the youngest ones, "Hyung, stop. Please hyung!!-" Donghyuk pushed him, "Go away, Jungkook!!" Namjoon could sense the sadness on the youngest's face. "It's okay, Gguk. You guys go first, okay? I'll handle him."

"Namjoon, we shouldn't leave you like this," Yoongi said before piercing a stern look into Donghyuk's eyes. Yoongi is the second oldest, an underground rapper from Daegu known as Gloss back then. "Donghyuk-ah ... do you want to leave me? Like Ikje, Hyunchul, and Hyosang too? Donghyuk?" Namjoon asked him, hoping that donghyuk would not leave him.

"Yes, I ... will Namjoon and I'm... I'm sorry," He said before walking away. Namjoon was shocked and slowly fell to his knees.
