One last interview. That was all.

One last interview and Aidee was out to get lunch with her brothers at 11, then to get ready for the night.

She sat in her dressing room, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation Haru was having with one of the interview managers while a makeup unnie did her thing.

"... Would you like the fan letters now or after the show?"

"Miss Aidee won't be accepting any fan letters for the time being."

"What?! But we have more than 100 letters already collected!"

"I'm sorry, but due to certain circumstances-"

"Haru, it's alright," Aidee spoke, once the makeup unnie finished her lipstick. "You can sort through them, or Yoongi or Namjoon can look at them first just in case," she walked towards her bodyguard and the manager, who was standing at the door. "But you can collect them and I'll gladly accept them." The manager smiled wildly and left before she retracted what she said.

"Sorry, Miss Park. I was just looking out for your security," Haru apologized. Aidee smiled, patting him in the shoulder. "It's okay! You're just doing your job!" After a few minutes, she left to do the show.

It was a kind of variety show, where the whole episode was just her and the host. It was almost like Weekly Idol, but Americanized and a little less up beat.

The host smiled as he introduced Aidee to the crowd and she sat in the couch aside him.

"Alright, Miss Aidee. Can I call you that?"

"Yes, ofcourse."

"We will start with questions the fans ask straight from the audience," the host smiled, pointing towards a fan. The boy he pointed to stood up, smiling immensely at Aidee. She thought he was cute.

"Aidee noona, what's your last name? It hasn't been revealed in the profiles or anything..." the boy fidgeted with the hem of his BTS shirt before sitting down. Aidee smiled and happily replied.

"My full name is Aidee Cordelia Park. My last name is Park, because my dad is- was, asian American."

"And your mother?" The host asked, leaning on his chair. "Latina."

"Wait! So you're a latina?!" A girl from the crowd exclaimed, with everyone in thick silence, waiting for an answer. Aidee held the microphone to her lips, saying, "Yes, I am."

Then the crowd went wild.

They all cheered for a good amount of time, with the host laughing at the fans.

"Excuse me, but why do you laugh?" Aidee asked out of confusion, making the crowd grow silent again.

"Excuse me, Miss Aidee. I just love the ARMY."

After a few, the next question was asked.

"Are you going to the AMAs tonight?"

"Yes!! I'm looking forward to seeing all my favorite artists at the red carpet and witnessing the boys walk it, too! They've made it so far!"

"Are you performing tonight?!"

"Absolutely!!"

And so after a couple of minutes, the interview was over and Aidee headed back home. Home being her hotel room that was shared with Junhkook. It was already 1pm, and the red carpet started at 4pm.

Needless to say, Aidee was s t r e s s e d.

"Aidee, you have to stay still or Jiyeon won't put on your makeup right," Jungkook announced from his seat aside her in front of the vanity. "I'm sorry! I'm just- It's just-" "Miss Park, I'll be done sooner once you stop moving," Jiyeon interrupted as she applied glitter on her eyelid.

In a half our, her full makeup was done,  and in one more hour, her hair was styled and she was fully dressed. "Do I look okay?" Aidee asked, twirling and looking at herself in the mirror. "Aidee, why are you pushing this? You look great!" Jungkook exclaimed, fixing his bowtie.

"Red carpet is where everyone judges you, Jungkook oppa. I'm a teenager that was adopted by the biggest boyband in the world! I'm pretty sure I'll be judged even on how I breathe." "... You think we're the biggest boyband in the world?" Jungkook's eyes shone as a goofy smiled crept on his face. "Oh- and who cares how they judge you? You look great to us, whether you wear a dress or a garbage bag. Just- don't wear a garbage bag or Taehyung will give you his Gucci rants." Aidee laughed and hugged him for a long time.

"Thanks, Jungkook oppa," she said as the unnies left the room. The sibling duo exited their room and met at the biggest room: Namjoon and Seokjin's. For a fact, Jimin had already started a VLive of them getting ready, so Jungkook opened the door, saying, "Now introducing Big Hit Entertainment's-" "Jin Hit Entertainment!" "Fine, Jin Hit Entertainment's finest maknaes, Jeon Jungkook and Park Aidee!" She entered behind him with a laugh.

"You look GORGEOUS!" exclaimed Taehyung, jumping from his seat and gnashing over her custom dress. "Just like her Oppa," Seokjin commented with a smile. Jimin closed up the camera to his dongsaeng's dress, tapping her from top to bottom. "Isn't she beautiful?" Jimin asked, gaining a sheepish smile from Aidee. "A true angel," Hoseok said, giggling from his position on the bed, aside Namjoon.

"That's my baby girl!" Exclaimed Namjoon, making her go all read. "Oppa! Not while on camera!" Namjoon stood and hugged her, making her even more embarrassed. "What? I can call my little sis whatever I want~! Baby girl~!" Needless to say, she died a little inside. Jimin then began to read a little of the comments, until it was time to leave. They were escorted from their hotel to the Microsoft Arena, where traffic was very amusing. It was still 5 minutes away, but they were stuck in a small jam created by the arriving limousines. "D-do I have to speak?" "If you'd help me translate, that'd be a huge help, baby," Namjoon sarcastically answered Aidee. 'Ofcourse you have to speak, Aidee! Namjoon can't do everything by himself!' She mentally face palmed. It was very clear to all of them that she was very nervous about this. Social anxiety wasn't easy, and Jisoo pushing her to make friends was just helping a little bit, but she knew she had to grow out of it. And fast. Like, five minutes fast.

"Aidee," Jimin called to catch her attention, along with everyone else's. "Okay, I know you're anxious, so I came up with a plan to make you less anxious, starting from when we get off the limo," he explained, setting his hands on his knees. Jimin explained his plan, with everyone adding some last minute modifications, and once they arrived, they were ready to go. 'I can do this, I can do this,' Aidee repeated in her head while the limousine parked infront of the red carpet entrance.

Then the plan was carried out.

Jungkook was the first one to exit the limousine, causing all the artists that were in the area to look, since the crowd had been cheering louder and louder by every step he took. He stood aside the car entrance, where Taehyung was coming out of. He modeled a bit, the fans cheering as loud as they could, and him standing on the other side of the door, facing Jungkook. Jimin stood aside Jungkook, occasionally smiling at the fans. Hoseok waved and smiled brightly, standing aside Taehyung, in front of Jimin. Yoongi stood aside Jimin, and Seokjin, with the fans screaming as hard as they possibly could, stood aside Hoseok. Then, Namjoon stepped out. He didn't stand aside his brothers; instead, he reached out a hand to Aidee, who was inside the limo and helped her with her dress.

No one thought the crowd could cheer as much as they did.

Aidee smiled and waved at the fans, locking arms with Namjoon as they walked. There came a point during them walking where Namjoon switched with Yoongi, and now Namjoon, Seokjin and Hoseok walked infront of them, while Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook walked behind them, forming a sort of circle around Aidee.

Everyone immediately thought she was one of the best dressed. The way they walked past Hailee Steinfeld and she looked at them like she knew they owned the whole show was a huge giveaway. Soon enough, they made it to their interviewer: a woman dressed in red. They all huddled around her as she spoke.

"Okay guys, I picked you right off the red carpet. It's not hard to miss you! BTS, right now, did you hear all those fans chanting? I think they've been here for like, a week!" She then proceeded to point the microphone at Namjoon, who now stood aside Aidee, just in case he missed something. Not like she was 100% sure of her translating skills. Namjoon turned to the members to translate, and they all blurted out different answers. "Heard it from the hotel, even." "That's crazy!" "It's- It's amazing," Namjoon stuttered. She didn't even bother and went on to the next question. "Is it still surreal to you? I mean, the BTSXAMAs hashtag is trending right now: it's been trending! Is it still surreal to you or is it like another day at the job?" "It- It doesn't- I mean, it doesn't-" Namjoon looked at Aidee for help, and the interviewer took the sign and held the microphone close to her instead. "We never get used to these kinds of things, really. We even have those really cute small emojis on it, too!" She smiled as she answered. Jungkook smiled, thinking it was cute. "Woah she answered so naturally," Hoseok commented to Taehyung, who nodded.

"Which emoji is you favorite?" She turned to Namjoon again, and he translated it to the members, then answered, "I like the vomiting emoji." "I like BTS emoji," Yoongi answered with a smile. "Oh! You like your own emoji? Okay! What happens when you guys are on tour and you're moving and you're going to shows? Is there something fun that you do? Is there something crazy you do? What's the most insane thing that has happened?" This time she turned to Aidee and waited for her to translate to the other members. She wasn't as overwhelmed as she was just a moment ago, and just looking at them while she spoke was help enough.

"America," Yoongi answered. "He said America. What about America?" The interviewer directed her microphone from Aidee to Yoongi and awaited his answer. "Everything." All of them laughed a little. "I love America," Yoongi finished, then Namjoon spoke. "Being able to perform at the AMAs is like, the most insane thing!" "Do you still get nervous? I mean, y'all are young, but you're still coming up. Y'all are young but now you're world wide and that's a huge thing right now, but do you still get a little bit of nerves?" "Super super super nervous," Taehyung answered while the others made a sort of pose to show how nervous they were. They all laughed among themselves before the interviewer announced the last question.

"Before we go, one last question for Aidee. Alright, so I couldn't help but notice, and I'm sure your fans noticed too, that your dress is in theme with the group's most recent album Love Yourself: Her, right? Who are you wearing and why are you wearing the theme?" Aidee translated it so her brothers understood the question, and mostly because Taehyung's understanding of English wasn't enough for him to say who the designer was. Aidee didn't really know who it was, since it happened to be a friend of Tae's. He whispered the name to her, and she smiled and answered, "My dress was custom made by Munsoo Kwon, and the reason behind the theme was to convey the art and the delicate aspect of the album." "We all wanted to personify and give life to our album, and thanks to Aidee, we could properly portray it," Namjoon answered along with her.

Then they left so they could continue walking down the red carpet and taking pictures. And that's when Aidee heard it. Selena Gomez wasn't far from them, and she heard her speak with someone that Taylor wasn't even coming to the ceremony! She was going to be at the after part with her boyfriend! She felt a bit sad, but continued walking, passing by some of her favorite stars like Pink and Ciara.

Soon enough, they were seated and everything began. She was so stoked to be seeing everyone on stage, but she was more surprised when Taehyung handed her a ziploc bag if trail mix. Then Hoseok handed her a small yogurt cup. "What the heck, guys? We can't sneak food in here!" Aidee whisper yelled. "It was Seokjin hyung's idea!" Tae whisper yelled back. "You guys are lucky I have a purse."

After an hour and a half, all their snacks were gone and no cameras had detected them c: But now, they had to go backstage.

It was time.

Aidee removed her eye makeup only, and the makeup unnie started to work on her eyeshadow. She had removed her dress and now wore her stag⁹e outfit. A yellow t-shirt with a planet on the left side of the chest, Jean shorts, holographic shoes and a transparent jacket. After her makeup was done, they proceeded to dismantle her hair do and replace it with two space buns with long loose hair.

Then it was performance time.

She could feel the adrenaline already as they made their way to step on stage. The fans knew, since they had already started screaming. Aidee didn't even hear when Kelly introduced them, she just heard the music and automatically started to perform.

They were all now covered in sweat and panting heavily. Aidee loved this feeling. Standing on stage with her family, doing what she does best and what she loves. They stood in their finishing stance for a few minutes, then moved to wave at the audience. That's when she saw them. Standing between the herd of girls in the first floor, were her parents. Aidee didn't even try to hold back the tears. She recognized those blue-green eyes of her mother, and the wavy brown hair of her father through the blinding stage lights. And their smiles, oh their smiles. Her mother seemed to be cheering along with the crowd as her father showed his box smile and clapped. They were there, even if it was for a brief minute, or a figure of her imagination and exhaustion, but they were there.

Hoseok thought she was just overwhelmed by everything, and Taehyung just thought she was happy to be there, so when it was time to get down the stage, the both led her backstage. When Aidee couldn't stop crying, Namjoon made her sit in their dressing room to calm down, but it seemed would never. "Aidee, what's wrong? Does something hurt? Did I pull too hard on your arm?" Asked Jimin frantically. They were all over her, offering their full support. She raised her head and looked at the person who stood infront of her: Hoseok. "I saw them," she said through her sobs. All of them quieted down and looked at each other. "Saw who?" Asked Taehyung, stroking her back gently. Aidee slowly turned her head and locked her teary blue-green eyes with his dark brown ones, her bottom lip trembling. "My parents."

No one knew what the heck to say. None of them really knew how it felt like to loose someone.

Except for Taehyung.

"I saw my grandma out there too. That means they're all looking down at us from heaven, or from wherever they are. The point is, they're proud of us; of you. Now don't cry, Blueberry. Let's get changed quickly." Aidee hugged Taehyung rapidly, not wanting to let go. Out of all her brothers, he radiated the most familiar warmth close to what was once her mother's embrace. After a while, they all got dressed in their formal attire and Aidee fixed her makeup. She wanted to change the topic, to make it all less awkward, so she asked why a bunch of cameras were filming them.

"We're gonna make a movie," said Jimin excitedly. "Or a series," commented Taehyung. "Or both," said Jungkook, shrugging. "What are you gonna call it? Keeping Up with Bangtan?" They all burst up in laughter at Aidee's response and headed out to their seats before their award was announced.
