Ch. 1: New Member?

It was a day like any other in the BTS backstage room. Supposedly. The level of chaos was standard before every performance. Everyone was getting their makeup done, and in a blur of makeup and stage crew, everyone was hastily but carefully doing their jobs. They've clearly memorized their routine like the back of their hands.
But something was different about today. Rumors ran amok, and confusion as well as tension filled the air.

"Ya, did you hear what the manager said?"

"I heard the makeup crew talking about it when everyone was asleep."

"It's not true... right?

"This random stranger didn't even debut with us. How long was he a trainee? This is absurd."

Jimin awoke to a flurry of familiar voices. He was dozing off while his designated makeup artist finished up applying his eyeliner. What was this he was hearing? Despite his grogginess, his mind started making the connection. "Seolma... (Surely they don't mean...?)"

Heads turned to the newly awaken voice that belonged to Jimin. V scurried over to him and gave his shoulder a smack. "Ya ya. Enough sleeping. This is crazy news" He said.

"Is a new member joining us?" Jimin exclaimed, a bit louder than he anticipated. His voice couldn't conceal his feelings about the absurd situation.

"Shhhh!" J-Hope shushed him. "No one knows that we know."

"How do you know that you know?" Jimin questioned.

"Namjoon (RapMon) overheard the manager saying it. And Jungkook heard the makeup crew discussing it. I could tell something was off too." J-Hope explained.

"This is crazy... we debuted years ago. Why so suddenly..?" Jimin said incredulously.

"Right?" J-Hope wondered too. He saw Rapmon looking in the mirror, loosening his collar. "Leader what do you think?" He asked him.

Rapmon thought his words over carefully. "Truthfully, I think it's a bad idea. But we can't go against the manager's decision."

Minutes of silence passed as everyone thought about the issue, and the possible fate of the group. They then realized they didn't get Suga's opinion. Yoongi (Suga) sat with his head leaned back and his eyes closed, but they could tell he was awake and listening.

"Hyung" Jimin said.

Yoongi opened one eye and then closed it again.

"I hate it."
