𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑.

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 15-year-old Rae as she stood before the towering BigHit building. Her hands were clammy, her heartbeat thunderous in her ears. To say she was nervous would be an understatement ━ this moment felt like her entire future condensed into a single day. Just hours ago, the CEO had called, instructing her to come in and meet her new group members. He'd provided no details, just a time and place.

Rae took a deep breath and pushed open the door. A cool blast of air conditioning greeted her, making her shiver. She tugged down the sleeves of her cardigan for warmth, her eyes scanning the bright, minimalistic lobby. It was quiet, with a sleek white front desk, a few decorative plants, some chairs and a couch arranged neatly against the wall, and a large window that left in sunlight from outside.

She approached the receptionist, who was typing briskly at her computer. The woman only looked up when Rae softly cleared her throat.

"Good afternoon, ma'am. I have an appointment with Mr. Bang in a few minutes," Rae said, her voice steadier than she expected.

The receptionist nodded. "Ah, yes. His office is on the 8th floor, door number 17 on the right." She smiled warmly, and Rae thanked her before heading to the elevator.

The soft ding of the elevator echoed as the doors slid open. Rae stepped inside, pressing the button for the eighth floor. The illuminated number seemed to glare at her, a silent reminder of the enormity of what lay ahead. The elevator ride felt endless, even though it lasted only seconds. When the doors opened, Rae stepped out, her legs carrying her almost on autopilot towards door 17.

Her heart pounded as she raised her hand to knock. A muffled, "Come in," reached her ears, and she pushed the door open.

Inside the office, her breath hitched. Seated around the room were seven boys, and behind the desk sat Bang Sihyuk, the CEO himself. His reassuring smiled helped ease her nerves, if only slightly.

"Rae, welcome," He greeted. She walked over, standing a few feet from the desk as the others rose to their feet. She caught Jungkook's eye and managed a small smile. The two had been classmates, and she knew he had recently signed a contract with BigHit to pursue his music dreams.

"I'm glad you're here on time," The CEO began, addressing the group. "As you know, I called you today to meet your fellow members. Some of you are familiar with each other, while others are meeting for the first time." His gaze shifted to Rae, and she nodded nervously.

"All of you," he continued. "Will debut soon as a group called BTS."

A quiet, stunned silence filled the room as his words sank in. Rae's eyes widened. Debut? As part of a boy group? Her mind raced with questions. How was she going to explain this to her family. Her older brother, Changkyun, was fiercely protective of her and would surely have a lot to say about this decision.

"Mr. Bang," One of the boys finally spoke, his voice careful, "we didn't know we'd have a female member."

Si-hyuk nodded, his expression calm. "That's correct. But I've seen Rae's talent firsthand, and I believe she'll be an incredible addition to this group." His tone was confident, almost playful, and Rae felt a flicker of relief when some of the boys smiled in response.

"I'll leave you all to get acquainted," The older male said, rising from his chair. "You'll be working closely together, so start building that bond. I'll be back shortly." With that, he exited the room.

For a moment, Rae shifted awkwardly on her feet, unsure of what to say. Her gaze dropped to the floor. "What will the fans think?" She muttered under her breath, anxiety creeping into her voice.

"Don't worry too much," A tall, broad-shouldered boy said gently. "If Mr. Bang believes in you, we will too. I'm Kim Seokjin, by the way." His warm smile made Rae feel a little more at ease.

"I'm Kim Namjoon," Another boy added, stepping forward. "We've met before actually ━ remember when you accidentally bumped into me during training?"

Rae's cheeks flushed at the memory, and she nodded sheepishly.

Namjoon chuckled softly. "I'll be the leader of the group. If you need anything, just let me know."

One by one, the others introduced themselves. Kim Taehyung, whose boxy grin exuded excitement, Min Yoongi, whose quiet confidence made Rae feel a little starstruck, and Jung Hoseok, who radiated energy and cheer, making finger hearts as he said. "I'm the sunshine of the group!"

Then there was Park Jimin, whose shy smile contrasted the bold stage presence during practice Rae had heard about, and finally, Jeon Jungkook, who gave her a nod and a grin that felt reassuringly familiar.

When it was Rae's turn, she took a steadying breath. "I'm Im Mi Rae," She said, bowing slightly. "Mr. Bang said my positions are main dancer, main rapper, vocalist, center, and face of the group."

The boys nodded, some murmuring in approval, and Rae felt a spark of hope. They didn't seem to dislike the idea of her joining.

A few minutes later, Bang Si-hyuk returned. "Your dorms are ready," He announced. "You'll be staying together to prepare for your debut. If you need anything, let me know. I have no doubt you'll accomplish great things together."

After bidding their CEO goodbye, the group headed to their dorm. Despite the initial awkwardness, they spent the rest of the day cooking together, talking, and sharing laughs. By the time night fell, Rae felt a growing sense of comfort among her new teammates.

As she lay in bed that night, exhaustion finally overtaking her nerves, she couldn't help but feel that this was the start of something extraordinary.
