Chapter 1
Prologue
“V, wake up! Manager Sejin called, he said there’s a big news!” RM shouted at V, who apparently still hasn’t woken up.
Their management called and said that they should schedule a meeting today. None of the 7 boys knew what it was about, so they were anxious to know. But V still hasn’t made an effort to give importance to the so called urgent meeting.
“Kim Taehyung, I swear if you still wouldn’t get off of that bed I’ll carry you myself to the bathroom!” J-hope announced as he entered RM and V’s room.
V jolted up, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m up now! Stop shouting!”
“You’re the one who’s shouting now.” Suga sternly said leaning at the doorframe.
“Mianhe hyung.” V muttered as he was entering the bathroom.
20 minutes passed, they were entering the building. They went to the room where they usually discuss things with the agency. They greeted their managers and sat down once they were told to.
“So what is it?” Jin started.
“We decided to do something that will be beneficial to your appearance especially worldwide. This will rock the minds of ARMY.” Manager Sejin started.
There was an awkward silence since they were all waiting for the exact news their management is about to tell them. Jin looked at Suga, who looked at RM, who shrugged at J-Hope, who smiled at the 3 maknaes.
“Okay jump to the conclusion now, please? We’re getting more anxious.” V remarked which made the others laugh lightly at his joke.
“Okay, listen carefully. We will put up a competi-”
“WOAH! I love challenges!” Suga piped in, cutting off what their manager has to say.
“Suga, I told you many times to not interrupt when someone is speaking. Please continue manager.” Jin scolded Suga for his habit and urged their manager to continue what he was previously saying.
“As I was saying, we’ll put up a competition. Worldwide competition. We’ll pick someone who will cover your DNA’s choreo the best. What I mean the best, is, well you get what I’m saying. You know me well to understand what best in my vocabulary means.” Manager Sejin explained.
“The one who will be picked will be your backup dancer this upcoming tour. We made a decision like this to make your impact to the music industry more influencing. And now that you’re asking them to dance to your song and upload it online, I’m pretty sure your fans will go crazy about it.” He finished with the question, “So, what do you think?”
Jimin was the first to respond. “I think it’s a good idea. It will be a great interaction with the fans too.”
Jungkook nodded to that, initiating that he agrees with his hyung.
“But I just have a question manager, if the “best” that you’re saying is from the other side of the world, we’ll help that person get here right?” JK asked.
“Yes, it’s our responsibility. If you don’t have anymore questions, I take it you should proceed to the studio and practice now.”
“Yes manager, kamsahamnida.” RM started as the others repeat what he just did.
Manager Sejin dismissed them by shooing them to the studio room.
Chapter 1 “The Announcement”
Anna’s POV
I packed my stuffs since it’s time to go home from workshop. I went to my friends and said goodbye. “Yes, don’t forget your camera on Wednesday, we’ll film a dance cover!” My co-dancer shouted while I was exiting the studio.
“Will do!” I shouted back.
I am Anna. I’m 20 years old. I live in America. I am not your average girl. I taught myself to put up a brave figure ever since. I don’t like guys who looks down on the ability of girls and threathens them. I always stood up for myself and I don’t let someone think of me as this kind of weak and fragile girl. But of course all of it was an act, deep inside I’ve always lived in pain and gotten used to it.
It was 2 in the afternoon when I reached my dorm. I started making my homeworks but halfway doing it, I fell asleep. I was engulfed by weakness mainly because of the practice I had today.
“ANNA!!” Jessica, my roommate shouted which made me jolt up quickly.
“What is it?! What? What happened?!” I asked as soon as I saw her cathing her breath like she ran in a marathon.
“Did you see BTS’ post 20 minutes ago?” Jessica asked.
“What? NO! I was sleeping, I wasn’t able to. What is it?” I asked puzzled, quickly snatching my phone from the bedside table.
“Oh whatever, you go and look for it yourself. It will be better that way.” She huffed.
I opened my Twitter account and it didn’t took long when the video appeared at the top of my news feed.
“Calling all ARMY Dancers.” It read.
I played the video and the 7 boys I love appeared on screen.
V was the first to speak, “Hello ARMY. We have a big announcement so listen carefully.”
“We will have a dance competition on the best cover of our choreo on DNA.” RM continued.
“Anyone can upload their videos, it doesn’t matter where you came from.” Jimin smiled.
“Even if you’re from Antartica!!” Jin abruptly said, laughing at his own joke while the others just looked at him.
J-Hope breaks the silence by saying, “Bad joke. But there you have it guys. Best cover gets to be one of our backup dancers.”
“Just upload it on Instagram by using the hashtag #BTSxARMY, #BTSDANCECOMPETITION and #BTSCHALLENGE.” Jungkook finished off the discussion. “That’s it. The submission starts 2 days from now.”
The members started bowing, like their act of goodbye to the video.
“Wait, I didn’t get to say something!” Suga interrupted the farewell. The members laughed at his silliness and Suga went to say goodbye too.
As soon as the video finished, I was thrilled. I was thinking this will be a big opportunity for me if I get to cover it well but that would be impossible since there will be many people better than me. It will also be a great time to find him. I was thinking so hard that I didn’t realize Jessica waving her hand at me.
“Hello, earth to Anna.”
“Oh sorry, what were you saying?”
“I was saying you should do it.” She’s trying to urge me.
“I know but it will be impossible.” I stated matter of factly.
“You know, you should give it a try. Do this for yourself. And if yours don’t get to win that competition, you need to be thankful still that through those boys you get to show your talent to the world.”
“Okay Jessica, I’ll do it, stop being so dramatic. It’s not like I’m dying.” I whined.
“Got ’ya there girl, you’re doing it, it came out of your mouth.” Jessica laughed as I rolled my eyes at her.
The next day came and I was in class when I received a text from Jessica saying, “Don’t go out, you need to practice. -Jess.”
And as soon as I replied, “Yes mother” to Jessica, a girl from my class tapped me. I turned and asked why.
“There will be a group study at Jaden’s house, I thought you would want to come since you enjoyed it last time.” She smiled politely. This girl is named Sheryl, she’s nice based on my perception.
“Can’t. Have practice today. Maybe next time.” I smiled back to the girl who nodded her head signalling the she understood.
