Normani's POV
I yawned softly stretching after feeling the car come to a stop. I was so tired. After last night I couldn't even fall asleep, all I kept thinking about was RM's lips. On mine.
Then the way I reacted. God. I wanted to slap myself over and over and over again. I'm so stupid.
I undid my seat belt as my door was opened, I walked out the car holding my side purse.
Due to security precautions, I have to have a bodyguard everywhere I go for my protection. Which was completely understandable but I would like to go pee without him having to stand outside the door.
I nodded thanking Sean. That was his name. He closed the door, as I enter the large building Brandon had told me to come to.
After waiting in the lobby for almost fifteen, it didn't take long for the paparazzi to know that I was here.
"NORMANI!"
"OVER HERE, NORMANI"
There voices echoed from the glass windows, I turned slightly smiling, posing for the pictures they begged for.
"Sorry to keep you waiting" Brandon's voice said causing me to turn around to see him.
I forced a smile, I should be sleeping in my bed right now but yet here I am.
"it's fine" I assure him.
It wasn't.
"So there's an interview you have today" he tells me.
"An interview?" I asked raising my eyebrow.
"Yes you have a one on one interview, without the other members of BTS" he tells me.
"Why?"
"Because this is good promotion for you"
"No. I mean why with the rest of BTS. I am apart of BTS, anything I do, they should do as well. Together. If anything this makes us look like a separated group" I tell him.
"Because Bang Si-Hynk wanted you to become the visual for BTS. Besides you aren't the only one going to be in the interview so don't worry" he tells me.
"What do you mean?" I asked and I literally felt my heart drop. The boys. RM are they here as well. Please don't say yes because I don't think I can face seeing them as in them I mean RM.
I heard multiple screams from outside, I turned facing the window to see multiple fan girls behind held back by guards as someone was entering the building.
My face expression changed when I realized exactly whose face it was.
"You've got to kidding me" I mentally say wanting to roll my eyes but since there dozens of fans and paparazzi's outside watching my every move I force a smile.
He appeared me flashing his fuck boy smile, and smirking. "Told you I see you again" he says before running his fingers through his hair.
"I think you owe me a jacket" he flirts.
I blink feeling the flashes of cameras from paparazzi and the screams of BamBam's fans.
I turn to Brandon, "why is he here?" I asked him.
"JYP Entertainment is joining BigHit Entertainment" he tells me.

"And what does that mean?" I asked him unsure what that meant. I was literally so confused.
"It means that you, I, GoT7 and the boys of BTS are going best of friends" Bam smirks.
-
I laughed covering my mouth to BamBam's, nudging him because response to the question I had just asked him.
Him and I were forced to do this fan interview questionnaire with one another for the promotion of our groups. Where we ask and answer each question.
Since I'm the new face of BTS and BamBam is the lead he's here with me.
"My turn?" He asks. I nod watching as he places his hands into the bowl pulling out a piece of paper.
"This is the last one you guys" he reminds everyone.
Thank god. I don't know how much more of this I could take.
He opened it and began to read. "Normani and BamBam play a straight face contest for one minute. Opponents can try to make the other person smile, If you smile you lose" he reads.
I nod.
"Just because your a girl doesn't mean I'll go easy on you", he says placing the paper down.
I laughed, "awe.. that's cute. You actually think your gonna win" I say determined to win.
BamBam turns to the camera, "zoom in on here" he tells the producer.
I turned back to BamBam, "ladies first."
I nod, turning my entire body towards him, looking at him watching his expression.
I reached forward placing my hand on his bicep causing him to look up at me, he turned to the camera face still unfazed.
"You're not going to win" I let him know.
"You sure about that?"
He was so cocky it was ridiculous.
I bet he was even eating this up. He knew the boys didn't like him but yet I bet he had no problem doing this with me. Specially when he found out it was me he was doing it with.
"Positive" I continue.
He then without any sign or warning leaned forward close to my face as if we going to kiss me.
I lean backwards placing my hand on his chest almost falling out of the stool when he caught me by grabbing a hold of my wrist and waist. Our met each other leaving an awkward silence in the entire set.
"Time!" One of the producers yell.
We let go of each other, I turned to the camera faking another smile.
"And that was it for today you guys. My name is Normani Kordei from BTS"
"I'm BamBam from Got7"
"And thank you so much for watching. Don't forget to subscribe and comment down below if you want to see Bam and I in more videos together" I read from the card one of the producers held up.
"Love you!" Bam said as him and I both waved at the camera.
"That's a WRAP!" The camera man says. The producers and set workers clapped, as I reached behind me taking off the sound and microphone.

"That was a close one right?" BamBam asks me distracting me.
"What?"
I turn to him, but also giving my sound and mic to the sound producer.
"The entire world almost saw that you have a crush on me" The words escape from his mouth and I kid you not I wanted to slap his arrogant cocky ass.
"That's so adorable. You think the entire world knows who you are" I say causing him to chuckle.
"You didn't deny that you have crush on me though" he smirks.
I sigh watching as Brandon approaches, "I'm not playing this game with you" I tell him.
"What game?" He asks approaching me.
"The one where I fall head over heels for you. It's not going to happen. Ever. So please save everyone including yourself the trouble and stop while you can" I tell him so serious.
He smirks nodding his head, "I like a girl who plays hard to get" he says.
Obviously you don't GET the hint.
I roll my eyes turning to Brandon who walked towards BamBam and I.
"It was so nice meeting you. Normani and you have such a good connection. On and off camera. Tell your management I'll keep in touch", Brandon says shaking hands with BamBam who was eating all this shit up.
"Thank you. Of course. I'll see you around Normani" he says before smirking at me and smiling back at Brandon as he walks away.
I crossed my arm shaking my head looking at him.
"What an ass." "What a great guy". Both Brandon and I say at the same time causing us to look at each other.
"An ass? He's such a sweet guy", Brandon tells me. "Yeah. In front of a camera he is", I tell him.
"I thought you guys liked each other"
"Liked each other? I can't stand him. The guy is a cocky piece of shit who thinks he can get whatever he wants, when he wants" I say angrily about bam, as if he was still here.
"I'm sorry? Am I missing something?"
"Yes. Got7 has it out for BTS. They hate each other, and have been in feud for many years. And now that I've done with video with him.... because of you I just added fuel to the fire" I spat angrily at him.
"How was I supposed to know?" He asked shrugging.
"Maybe is you keep in contact with me like an actual manager should then you would. You have the perfect opportunity to tell me last night that I was going to be doing a video with him. But instead I'm surprised and don't know how to react"
"I'm sorry" he tells me.
Thinking about it now. I wonder how the boys will act when they find out what happened. I have to tell them first before they find out.
"It's fine. Look, I've got to go. Talk later?", I say before grabbing my bag and leaving with Sean following behind me.
I walked into the lobby of the building to see BamBam standing in the entrance way. But it was blocked by dozens of fans and paparazzi.
Great. Just great.
He walks towards me, and I stop in my footsteps.
"What? Came to talk about how are loved by the entire world?" I asked crossing my arms.
"Look I need your help"
Okay? Why would I help you?
Why should I even trust you?
For the kindest of my heart got the best of me.
"What's wrong?" I asked uncrossing my arms.
He approaches me and was immediately stopped by Sean. BamBam looks at Sean.
"Just doing my job" he explains with his arm extended in front of me.
BamBam sighs, I turn to Sean motioning for him to put his arm down, I'm sure if anything happens I can handle Mr.Smirk face.
"My driver went out to get somethings for me and caught a flat meaning I don't have a ride, and my phone is dead", he explains.
I shouldn't care or feel bad but for some reason I do.
"Do you want to use my phone to call someone?" I ask him.
"I don't remember numbers that's what contacts are for" he spats.
"Okay, then what am I supposed to do?" I asked shrugging.
"Can I possibly get a ride?" He asks me.
No. Hell no.
No way.
"Please. I will be like I'm not even there"
"I was I wasn't here"
"Do you really hate me that much? What have I done to you? I was so kind to give you my jacket that I still have yet to get back. I was so kind to catch you after you almost fell, you could've broken a bone or something" he says.
I wonder if he thinks before he speaks.
I mean god.
"I don't hate you. I'm just not fond of you. One, You can that stupid jacket back that you keep bringing up every 5 minutes. And 2, the most I would've broken is a nail"
"Normani, please. What do I have to do? Beg?" He asked.
I smirk at the idea.
He turns facing his still screaming fans, "I wonder what they might think if they see me on the ground on one leg?" He says referring that both his fans and the paparazzi will probably think Bam is proposing to me or something.
I sigh. "Fine. I'll take you home but we're not stopping anywhere"
"We kind of can't go to Got7 dorm because I don't have the key" he explains.
Is was like he was purposely trying to spend time with me. Tire flat. A dead phone. Forget his key to his dorm.
God.
"Then where do you expect me to take you?" I asked him seriously.
"I only know one place but I know you won't like it"
He glances at me and I could already tell that the boys of BTS was not going to like this.

Dragon: Birth of an Ancient
Deep in a secluded forest, within the depths of a long forgotten cave, an unnatural silence that has reigned for little over a million years is shattered as a hatchling takes its first breath. To the various species that called this world, one of seven, home, the matter seemed beyond insignificant. The hatchling, like all monsters, had no divine backing and with its age, could only be considered a lesser existence. A being to be used by the Chosen and noble monster bloodlines in their never-ending pursuit of power, fame and immortality. However, how could any of the short-lived races, Chosen and Monster alike, know that the tiny, weak, lizard-like creature was much more than it seemed. That it was an entity only spoken of in myth and legend. From a species that their ancestors, with the backing of the Gods, paid a huge price to remove. A heretical existence that threatened the fragile peace that had descended upon their world. A Dragon. ==== ** Cover done by the amazing Felix!*** I am writing this story for a friend who is currently in hospital and in a very precarious situation. He gave me the plot/ concept and, after my own health issues, I wanted to try and brighten his day and provide a distraction from the monotony of their hospital stay. I am posting it on RRL mainly in case anyone else can find enjoyment from the story and to show the readers of my other stories that I am not permanently MIA (and will 100% return to those stories in the future).

Forewarning regarding the start of the story. This story contains graphic descriptions of violence. The first few chapters of the book focus mostly on characters experiences and state of mind. The protagonist doesn't start off as a hero, he's distressed, confused, scared and struggling for survival. LitRPG elements are sprinkled throughout these chapters but aren't initially at the forefront of the story. If you're willing to persevere, the LitRPG elements and significant progression become more heavily intertwined with the story as they become more relevant. Thank you. *** What to expect *** This is a Fantasy Adventure LitRPG. There’s gore, swearing, bad jokes and lots of struggling. (I like to make the character earn his power.)Book 1: Covers the characters' experiences in becoming accustomed to this new reality. There are chapters that focus on survival and hardship. He starts with literally nothing, gradually he accumulates incredible power. He achieves his power through completing various trials and encounters in his journey to find out who he is, and what he wants in this world. There’s a focus on the mental state of the protagonist and an alternating pace of writing to allow character development to occur. The planned second book will kick off at a much faster pace with more action, focus on the system, and delving into the purposes of the Grand trial assigned to the main protagonist.I aim to deliver a world with Interesting characters, Monsters, Magic, Epic battles, Levelling, System interaction, Skill creation, Trials (Quests), Dungeons, Training and more. *** Release ****Chapters will be around 2000-3000+ words long, averaging 2.5k. I’ve almost finished the first book and am trying to edit and polish the chapters that are being released.I aim to release 3-5 chapters a week.Please enjoy.
