I was suffering so I decided to make you suffer 🙃

*************
Cecilia entered the shared dormitory to get some rest before she had to head out for more sessions. Her hopes to enter in peace were disrupted the moment she saw all the girls scattered in the living room. Still holding hoping to avoid unnecessary drama, she pretended to walk away.

"Are you really not tired?" Hee Young asked, looking at Cecilia is awe. "We all came back and directly threw ourselves here except Eira who managed to her bed."

"I am tired, but not as much as you are I guess," Cecilia told them.

"She has Jeongguk, why would she be tired?" Youra questioned bitterly.

"That nothing to do with dance," Cecilia argued, hoping that despite her Korean not being the best, they understood. "She has Hoseok and she has Jimin. Both amazing dancers. All BTS can dance so I don't mind any. I know dance and I like it so a bit easy for me."

"She has a point," she agreed. "All of BTS are excellent teachers and Hoseok is better than any dance instructor you can get."

"Yeah, but I have Namjoon Oppa and he is just-," Youra tried to speak but Cecilia cut her off as she felt her anger bubble in her chest. There was no way she would allow this girl to trample all over her idol who she and many knew struggled so much to reach where he was.

"No," Cecilia replied seriously. "They your seniors. Respect them."

With that she left the scene, not wanting to deal with Youra anymore. She didn't understand what that girl's problem was. Since the beginning, Youra never failed to make their lives a living hell. She understood that Youra was jealous but the way she was acting was unacceptable. Namjoon knew how to dance and any ARMY knew that. He might not be a natural dancer, but he definitely knew how to dance and the way she bad mouthed him made her really mad especially when Youra was horrible dancer herself.

"Liaaaa!" Eira exclaimed as she entered the room, but soon a frown frowned on her face as she said the next words. "I made a fool out of myself."

Cecilia gave her a Cheshire grin, her eyes sparkling with mischief, replacing all the negativity from earlier.

"I expected that, so details now!" Cecilia said, her tone buzzing in excitement as she made herself comfortable on her side of the room.

*Flashback*

Eira stood outside the practice room and debated whether she should enter or run away as far as she could and maybe change her name to Ari. She took a peek inside and could see Taehyung's slim yet built figure slumped on the wall, his silver locks falling on his face. Just seeing him look so calm and content caused her stomach to perform their usual routine of summersaults and it took so much energy to keep her feet anchored to the ground and not dare to take a ste[ back.

"Deep breaths," Eira told herself as she gathered some courage to push the door.

After a couple deep breaths she thought about pushing the door, but as soon as she felt the metal underneath her, she jolted back.

"Maybe a couple more deep breaths will do the tick," she comforted herself as she inhaled and exhaled and finally gathered enough courage to push.

Maybe she used up way too much of her courage as the door flew open and slammed on the wall, making Taehyung snap his head up and look into his eyes.

"Hi," Eira said shyly as she could feel the hammering in her chest.

This is not good for my health, she thought as she waited for him to reply.

"Hey," Taehyung replied as he stood up from his place. He couldn't laugh so he just smiled. He could see how tense she looked and he really hope after this session they would be able to build some kind of bond."Ready?"

Eira nodded as they walked towards the center of the room.

"I will do the beginning of the choreo and then you can try to copy," Taehyung explained and Eira nodded, moving back to give him space.

I'M NOT READY. SOMEONE SAVE ME RIGHT NOW, Eira panicked as the music started.

Eira knew Taehyung could dance, but the way he was moving should be illegal. How was it possible that he turned such a simple dance into something so hot. She couldn't even look at his facial expressions because she knew the moment she looked, she wouldn't be able to stop as the boy in front of her was the king of facial expressions. The moment he stopped, she knew she was screwed. How could anyone focus when he danced like that? All she felt like doing was running away as she was sure her cheeks were bright red.

Taehyung gazed at Eira and a smile played on his lips as he noticed the lost expression on her face.

Cute, he thought as he felt happy that she was finally not running away from him.

"Why don't you try now?" Taehyung asked as he moved back to give her some space.

Eira gulped as she prepared her self to 'copy' what he had done, but she already knew she was walking on thin ice. As soon as the music started, she took a few steps and tripped. Her eyes cast down she heard the rushed footsteps towards herself.Still looking down she saw a hand placed before her and she grabbed onto it. It was just a hand, but it was his and her whole life she had imagined the feeling of his hand on hers and even her wild fantasies wouldn't have been able to explain his soft and gentle touch.

He had definitely taken her to cloud nine with just a simple touch that thinking about anything else scared her.

"Okay, so you do this and then this," Taehyung explained as he demonstrated the routine again, this time making sure she was paying attention.

Eira tried once again and smiled joyfully when she nailed it.

That's it," Taehyung said as his famous box smiled appeared on his face." You did it!"

"Yeah I did," Eira beamed in happiness.

Unfortunately, this small achievement became insignificant as Eira kept messing up and at this point, Eira wondered if Taehyung was tired of her and wished he had chosen someone else. As she thought of this, she tripped and was going to fall, but Taehyung caught her in his arms and she couldn't help but stare into his big brown eyes.

She shouldn't have stared but it was hard not to get lost in Taehyung's beautiful eyes that just added so much to his charm. Maybe she should have stopped looking, but she couldn't tear her eyes away from his gaze. His breath was so close to her face and she didn't know what to focus on anymore. Should she focus on her racing heart or the weird feeling in her stomach or the way that his eyes pierced into her soul? She was having an internal battle, so she had no idea when she moved away from him.

"I'm sorry," Eira mumbled as she shifted awkwardly in her place.

"You don't have to apologize so much, "Taehyung told her as he tried getting out of his own daze. "I'm sure once you learn, you will be as good as everyone else or even better. I believe in you."

Hearing her idol say this boosted her confidence. Just maybe she could actually do it.

"I think  this is enough today," Taehyung told her and she quickly went to gather her things.

Taehyung really wanted to ask her about why she would always run away from him, but as soon as he turned around, she had already run away.

Maybe next time, he thought as he exited the practice room.

*flashback ended*

Cecilia burst out laughing and fell back.

"I can't breath," she said as she clutched her stomach and continued laughing.

Eira threw a pillow on Cecilia and huffed in annoyance.

"It's not funny," she whined. "It's not my fault. He is just so handsome and I can't think when he is around me."

"I can't think around Jeongguk but you don't see me running away, do you?" Cecilia stated when she finally managed to calm down.

"Whatever," Eira mumbled. "So, what happened between both of you?"

Cecilia narrated all the events to her and she felt her heart race as she thought about her feelings. It really wasn't fair that she felt all of this while he felt nothing. She was waiting for the day her feelings for him would diminish into nothing, but she knew that would never happen as she would always be his fan which she was fine with, but her racing thoughts and the way she worried about him, she wanted all of that to disappear.

"Ah-ha, see you had some embarrassing moments," Eira said with pride.

Cecilia rolled her eyes.

"I never said I didn't, but it's not as bad as yours," Cecilia replied.

"I guess so," Eira said." Ready to go?"

" I'm but is our famous k drama actress ready?" Cecilia asked teasingly.

"Shut up, will you?" Eira whined as they headed out. "It's not like I purposely fell into his arms."

"You didn't but destiny is so nice to you that you even get a chance with your dream boy," Cecilia told her happily. "I'm definitely building my ship."

Eira didn't reply as she knew there was no reasoning with a girl and her ship.

***********

"Girls!" So Young exclaimed with joy. "Guess what? You are going to finally apply your skills on real idols...well soon to be idols."

Cecilia and Eira exchanged looks of worry as they were not sure how ready they truly were for an assignment like this like what if they ended up creating clowns? Yes, they knew how to work with male idols and female idols, but doing it on someone else was never an easy task.

"Why are you guys so worried?" So Young asked. "You have been practicing for a total of two weeks and I wouldn't have let you do this if I wasn't sure about this."

They both nodded as they headed to meet their clients. Heart beating throughout the journey, Cecilia tried her best to walk normally. There shouldn't have been a sinking feeling in her stomach nor should her hands shiver slightly, but the task ahead somehow worried her and when she noticed the sign on the door, she almost screamed 'no' but controlled herself.

So Young entered first and the girls followed closely behind. The boys greeted So Young as soon as she entered.

"So, since your debut is near, I wanted to introduce you to your makeup and hair stylists," So Young announced and the boys looked at her bewildered.

Say hi damn it, Cecilia told herself.

"Hey," Cecilia somehow managed to say without stuttering followed by Eira who waved and said:

"Hi."

The boys all replied in unison.

"Aren't you guys from the Black Rose?" One of the boys asked as he scratched his dirty blonde hair and his forehead creased.

"Yeah, they are, but they will be helping since I'm going to be on a leave," So Young explained as she touched her belly lovingly.

The boys were still confused why they couldn't just get another person, but they decided not to think about it too much.

"I'll need you guys to follow me to the dressing room and from there I'll leave you in the hands of these wonderful girls," she stated as they headed out of one room and went into another.

So Young wished them luck and left after giving telling them what she wanted to see.

As soon she left,  a deathly silence filled throughout the room. No one knew what to say or how to react to all of this.

"Who wants go first?" Cecilia managed to gather her courage and ask.

"I'll go," a guy wearing a white teeshirt and loose baggy black pants offered and Cecilia waited for him to take a seat.

Another guy with a long oversized black hoodie and matching colored pants offered to be Eira's first experiment.

In the beginning, no one spoke a thing as Cecilia worked on the guy's silky light brown hair, but it seemed like the guy was holding it in as he asked:

"Is there a reason why the both of you are chosen for this?" he asked curiously. "I'm sure you are great stylists, but they could have chosen anyone."

Cecilia didn't know whether she should lie or just tell the truth, but she decided the latter as she knew they would all figure it out sooner or later.

"I'm the runaway bride," Cecilia explained and before she could continue the boy had already turned around to take a good look at her and so had the other members as they all gathered around to make sure it was her. There was no denying she felt uncomfortable with all the attention, but she had to push through.

"No way!" he exclaimed. "What happened?"

"Dude, can't you tell she is struggling with Korean?" a member asked the guy with the white teeshirt. "How will she explain her story?"

"Can you translate?" the white teeshirt guy asked his member who happened to be wearing the same teeshirt but with jeans.

"Do I look like a translator to you Byung-ho?" his band member asked to which he used his puppy dog eyes.

"Pleaseee Ha-Joon hyung," he pleaded.

Ha-Joon sighed but nodded anyway as he knew he had a weakness for the youngest.

Cecilia explained everything as best as she could while she finished off Byung-ho's look because as fun as it was telling why she was here, she had a task to complete.

"Daebak(Wow), you seriously didn't deserve all of this noona," Byung-ho said and Cecilia felt her world crash.

"Did you just call me noona?" Cecilia asked in disbelief to which Eira snickered.

"He is younger than you," Eira told her with a mocking smile.

"How old are you?" Cecilia asked as the other band members watched in amusement.

"I'm sixteen," Byung-ho replied with a smile.

Cecilia stared at the boy and then back at Eira and then back at the boy.

"No no no, I don't want to be anyone's noona," Cecilia replied as she couldn't believe she was finally older than the new idols. She was going through a full-blown meltdown.

"Noona!" the boys exclaimed in unison and Cecilia scrunched her nose in disapproval.

"I'm pretty sure not all of you are older than me," Cecilia stated as she pointed at them accusingly. She was old, but not that old.

Jimin could hear the ruckus from outside and decided to make sure that everything was okay.

"Hey," Jimin said as he entered the room. "What's going on and where is Noona?"

"Noona is right here," Byung-ho said with a smile as he pointed as Cecilia, who face palmed.

"You know this abuse," Cecilia huffed.

Jimin raised his eyebrows and a smile played on his lips.

Just like Jeongguk, Jimin thought as the memory played in his mind.

"I meant my noona," Jimin said with a chuckle.

"She will be back after they are done working their magic," Byung-ho replied happily.

Jimin gave him an okay and left the chaotic mess to look for his own chaotic mess.

"So, noona how was it like with Jeongguuk hyung?" Byung-ho aksed.

"Aren't you being a chatterbox today?" Ha- Joon asked. "Give her a break."

"Noona loves me, right noona?" Byung-ho asked and she just gives him a fake smile.

"I would like you more if you drop the noona," Cecilia told him, but the boy was adamant.

"Nope, you will always be my noona," Byung-ho smiles a he gets off his seat." This looks so pretty. Thank you noona."

"Never in my eighteen years of life did I ever think I would ever end up in this mess," Cecilia said as she sighed at the younger boy.

"I'm nineteen," the boy who Eira finished spoke.

"Like Korean nineteen or nineteen?" Cecilia asked hoping for a good answer and her prayers were answered as he replied:

"Nineteen."

Cecilia smiled, but her smile dropped when she heard of the two seventeen-year-olds and two eighteen-year-olds. She was so thankful that at least one of the eighteen-year-olds was older than her.

"So, noona the question," Byung-ho stated.

"Jeongguk is really nice," Cecilia told him as she worked on the next member.

"We all know that, but like are you, friends, now?" Byung-ho asked curiously.

"Not yet," she replied as she tried figuring out the best look for the guy in front of her. "Plus, I don't think spend too much time with him nice because scandals."

The boys nodded and they changed the topic and started chatting away. From strangers to really good friends. Their relationship had changed tremendously and their favorite part was calling Cecilia Noona as she hated that. They had tried it on Eira and she didn't mind it one bit so the boys just focussed on Cecilia.

They didn't even notice So Young return and only noticed when she gasped loudly.

"You both did such a great job!" So Young exclaimed. "I'm so proud of both of you."

So Young started tearing up in happiness.

"My little babies are all grown up," she said as she wiped her tears.

The girls gave her a big hug and thanked her for all the help.

"You guys can leave now and so can you," she told Cecilia and Eira.

"Bye noona," one of the members said as he left.

"I swear you are older than me Ji-hun," she huffed as she watched the black-haired boy snicker and leave.

Noona: a word used by boys for girls who are older than them as a form of respect.
Hyung: a word used by boys for boys for boys who are older than them as a form of respect.

I hope you guys are happy because I'm happy that I updated on time instead of being late as usual. I guess it's because I just finished exams so this weekend was free and I kinda wrote half the chapter throughout the week.

I know there is no Jeonnguk in this chapter and honestly, I really wanted him to rest because things are about to go down as always and this chapter was getting too long.

Also, I have no clue if I'm dead or alive after the Muster today like just look at this 👇👇

How was the chapter? Was it still good even without any Jeongguk?

I would like to thank all of you for your patience and for supporting me. You guys are seriously the best!

This chapter is for emanTarek5 as she personally asked for Taehyung and Eira's part.

What do you think will happen next?

See you all real soon. Bye!!!

As BTS say:

LOVE YOURSELF

LOVE MYSELF

PEACE

Take care,

Anera
