Dangerous Woman - BTS 8th Member

The Grammy Awards

"I want to get the boy's opinion first," Grace started. "But if everyone thinks I should go and this is going to be a good thing, rather than a disappointment, then I'll go. And I suppose, depending on the time limit, it's going to be one song rather than a medley?"

The CEO nodded, nodding towards Bang PD. "We're thinking of at least 3 or 4, depending on the time slot. Plus this could be a good test for the tour as well if we use songs from the Dangerous Woman mix tape and then you've got some other songs as well you want to release? If not, then we would just stick to 7 Rings."

"Not until January but the Grammy's are in February, so that would tie in with that mixtape's release," Grace agreed.

"Okay, well let's see what we can put together and I will check what time limit we have so we can work towards that. We don't want to put more pressure on the team for dancing so we'll work with you on that and maybe work with InTheLab in LA," the CEO glanced towards the team of choreographers who nodded in agreement. "And once we have confirmation on everything, we can discuss outfits and the like. Would you be going with Seokjin-ssi?"

That made Grace pause. He was out of military service now and was free to take, even with his own schedule and music going on. Hobi was free as well. So she could take the two free members of BTS but there was also the option of her parents as well? It would be an honour for them, especially her father.

"I will double check but I think I would want to take my father. I know he's not one for the public eye but if I won, I'd want him to see that in person rather than on TV. If I don't win, well it's an experience."

With plans in motion, Grace left the meeting still feeling conflicted.

'GRAMMY's want me to perform. What do you think?' she fired off a message to the group chat, as she turned down the hallway and headed to Hobi's studio.

There would be no response from four of them until that evening so she wasn't expecting anything. Of course, her boyfriend was the first one to reply.

'Do it and kick their ass.'

Yoongi then replied: 'Agreed. Our turn will come but I want you to win without us.'

Grace sighed and slipped into Hobi's studio, finding him already mixing a mock up of her songs.

"I haven't actually agreed yet," Grace laughed as she took a seat on the couch.

"I know you feel conflicted," Hobi said as he turned down the volume on the speaker as Dangerous Woman played in the background with a bit more bass to it, spinning his chair around to face Grace. "I feel conflicted for you. I would be proud as a Korean if you won because you'd be the first one to win. It would be like watching Jungkookie at the World Cup - he's still BTS but it's a major thing. Like Yoongi-hyung's tour, that was for him but he was still BTS."

"I know but the Grammys have fucked us around," Grace frowned. "Nominate us, tease the audience about us or our performance or whether we've won and leave it till the last minute and then not give it to us though they've been hinting we're going to win. They've used us for views and we've had nothing in return."

Hobi sighed and nodded, reaching out to pat Grace's knee. "Yes, that's true. But why not go and show them what BTS' female member can do? I know you don't care about the awards and the nominations you've received for your hard work but go and do this one. Go and show them what they're missing."

The four other members sent similar messages, though Namjoon added: 'Make me proud as a leader and a brother. Whether you win or not, the fact you've been nominated for three awards and you've been asked to perform is amazing. So go and do it.'
