absolutely killer rap line parts, in no particular order:
I know I literally just posted about this but ! Yoongi’s verse in Outro: Tear, but also specifically in the live version when he does his “ay, yeah yeah burn it / ay, yeah yeah yeah burn it / ay, yeah yeah yeah burn it” and Namjoon comes in with the “타버린 재마저 남지 않게” 🔥
the start of UGH when Yoongi goes “물기 시작하면 둥둥둥 동네북이 돼 둥둥둥” and they have those fuckin sickass drums
Yoongi’s verse in DDAENG, esp “hunnit bae hunnit bar hunnit bbae hunnit bae” and the bits following that where he just laughs condescendingly. very excellent, 10/10.
Namjoon’s verse in Cypher 3. just all of it. I love the other guys’ verses as well but tbph I would be fully okay with a version of this song that’s just fully Namjoon doing whatever he’s doing
Hoseok’s “who got the best of me? who got the best of me?” (in... Best of Me... obviously) is A+. cannot and will not explain it
Hoseok and Yoongi’s verses at the start of Mic Drop. they flow together really well. idk. idk!!
every rap verse in IDOL, and also their “얼쑤 좋다”s
all of Interlude: Shadow, esp the chorus: “please don’t let me shine, don’t let me down, don’t let me fly” like... wtf
Namjoon’s verse in Spring Day. I don’t wanna talk about it
the outro of Respect, where they’re just doing a lil nonsense skit in dialect
Hoseok and Yoongi’s post-chorus sections in Run BTS. is this partly because of the fuckin sick choreo? maybe.
all of Intro: Boy Meets Evil, but specifically “그래 병신 신 신”
Namjoon's verse in Dope, esp the bit where Yoongi comes in with his lil “ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY”/“ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY” thing
obviously the iconic “불타오르네” in Fire
last but not least: Hoseok’s verse in Boy in Luv, because it helped me learn Korean consonants and I refer to it even now when trying to remember their dictionary order gfjdklgjdfl
also honorable mention to technically-a-member-of-rap-line-but-not-really Jungkook for his parts in No More Dream, still absolutely legendary, will not tolerate any criticisms of it

Not a day goes by where I don’t think about the rap line performing UGH! and Cypher Pt 3 in Busan

I get asks, answer them in the most long winded way possible and STILL manage to not cover at least one element of the ask! It’s truly a talent.
Anon asked me WHY I liked my fave rap line performance and frankly since I can’t choose just one I can explain it in a broad sense of it’s their raw stage presence and powerful energy. Rap line songs get you fucking hyped and seeing them perform those songs is also hype as hell. It’s just the three of them giving it their all while rapping the coolest versus switching between their different flows/styles. Hoseok is also the master of ad libs, he adds so much to live performances and he shines the absolute most in rap line songs, UGH! has one of my favorite Hoseok ad libs when he draws out the aheeeeeeeeeem, and I just love it. Honestly no song brings that energy for me more than Cypher 3, especially their recent, and gut wrenchingly last, performance in Busan. 
They’re just cool as hell.

chocouple: 2014 to eternity
Tumblr media
Click Below to See the Video
Tumblr media
|| The Friends Era (2014-2016)
Tumblr media
Yoonmi and Mark actually met in 2014 because SHINee’s Jonghyun introduced them, but we didn’t actually get any public interaction or word of their friendship until 2015. Yoonmi was 2 years into her career, and Mark hadn’t even debuted yet, but he was on Mickey Mouse Club. Yoonmi guested on one episode where the concept was having all the staff leave the kids with Yoonmi so they would be comfortable asking her for advice and what to expect as kids in the music industry.
Mark had taken one of the seats next to her and offered her a blanket to cover her legs with because she was in shorts. Although Hannah led the others in speaking to Yoonmi, the latter often looked to Mark for what seemed like encouragement to speak.
We don’t get any interactions between them again until Mark debuts a year later. NCT U’s The 7th Sense promotions overlapped with BTS’s Fire promotions. When Fire won 1st place in Music Bank, Mark can be seen giving Yoonmi a one-sided hug. Just a month later, Yoonmi was promoting her solo debut the same time NCT 127 was promoting their debut. When Yoonmi won 1st in MCountdown, the tannies weren’t there, so Key had 127 accompany Yoonmi on stage.
Tumblr media
Though many people got distracted by the fact Yoonmi and Haechan had a secret handshake, no one missed how Mark and Yoonmi lingered in their hug a little longer, or how he stayed next to her the whole encore stage. An ex-SM staff mentioned that Mark walked her back to her waiting room, which was on the opposite end of NCT 127’s.
Months later, it’s awards show season. Most known NCT-BTS interactions consisted of Hannah and Yoonmi hanging out, but apparently Yoonmi went to NCT Dream’s dorm often. Back to awards shows, MAMA was a gem. Not only were there Markmi hugs (the ICONIC ending stage hug where he lifted her), we had Yoonmi rapping along to Mark’s verses, Mark cheering especially in Yoonmi’s parts, and even Mark possibly jealously watching Yoonmi and NCT Jisung talking.
|| The Courting Era (2017-2018)
Tumblr media
We didn’t actually know this at the time, but Mark and Yoonmi talked about it after they were exposed. Fans had released pictures from down the street of a KFC where you could see Mark and Yoonmi talking. At the time, we all thought it was them bonding while preparing for the SM Station Yoonmi would feature in and Mark’s feature in her album, but apparently Mark had also confessed to her and promised he’d prove himself when she said she felt scared.
They did a good job of keeping it lowkey. Aside from rare school photos together, the release of All I Wanna Do, Wannabe, Mark promoting with Yoonmi for Wannabe, their KCon Mexico special stage, and the selfies they posted after each of those, there was no visual evidence of them spending time together. Hannah and Jungkook (Chocouple nation presidents) sometimes would mention Markmi hanging out, but that was it.
|| The Secretly Dating Era (2018-2020)
Tumblr media
Their anniversary is in early February, that’s all we know. They like keeping it private, and we respect that. But apparently Mark set up an at-home date for them and officially asked her that day to be his girlfriend. 
They still did a good job of keeping it lowkey to the point where apparently most of the neos didn’t even know they were dating, but everyone noticed how, despite how both of them had increasingly busy schedules, they both seemed to glow and be happier. (Aside from those few weeks Yoonmi and Yoongi were at odds, which is rumored to be because Markmi started dating)
|| The Reveal (January 1, 2020)
Tumblr media
Every year, kpop and kdrama fans wait for Dispatch’s celebrity couple drop on New Year’s Day. To everyone’s surprise, Mark and Yoonmi were announced. Stan Twitter went into pandemonium, and everyone was clowning dispatch because we all knew they were “just friends”. 
To everyone’s further surprise, SM and BigHit both confirmed it later that day, and Mark and Yoonmi themselves tweeted about it, confirming they were dating.
|| The Struggle Era (2020)
Tumblr media
Around late January of 2020, Yoonmi released a M.Y. Everyday video titled “I have a Boyfriend”. Here, we found out about the courting era, how long they’ve been dating, and the fact that they have been dating for around two years by then. It’s also cute because around the middle of the year they ended up both having pink hair!
It was rough for them since their schedules kept them apart, then Covid hit, and they didn’t get to see each other at all. It wasn’t until around August, eight months later, that they were able to see each other. Mark said it was the best birthday gift he could get, seeing Yoonmi and even having her play the leading lady in his “As We Wish” mini drama. Watch it, I’m begging! Every source ever that was there for the filming said the two were just holding hands and silently exchanging smiles and stories almost the whole time.
They did a weverse/vlive together, each of them streaming from each of their phones. They were smiling and leaning on each other the whole time, answering questions, and everyone could see how happy and comfortable they were with each other.
|| The Private but Not Secret Era (2021-eternity)
Tumblr media
We don’t actually know too much about their relationship since they have been keeping it between them and their close friends and family (WHICH WE SHOULD RESPECT, OKAY?), but we do know from some stories that they try their best to spend time together whether it’s going out or staying in each other’s places. As fans, let’s remember that we should be more than happy with the fact that they actually talk about or mention each other a lot, especially compared to other celebrity couples. We also get the birthday posts and the occasional random instagram stories, but that’s it, and that’s more than enough.
Mark and Yoonmi are two of the most precious, talented, and hard-working people in the entertainment industry, and I’m glad they found comfort and solace in each other. As of this month (december 2023), they have been together for five years and about ten months. Cheers to a bright future for the both of them!

I'm going to ignore what this user is talking about because y'all know my opinion on armys and their "boycott". Hobi didn't do well because armys do not like his music and because he doesn't have a lot of stans, not because of the boycott and I think the person in that screenshot proved it. Armys are only listening and streaming the music they like for the members they bias and other artists they like, end of story.
My focus is on the person in the screenshot and that "I think most of us boycotters are rapline biased because we care about the social message" what does that mean?
It's really something that for years that rapline biased armys get away with saying borderline Anti stuff and armys let them because of pity. And I checked the quotes of this tweet, barely anyone's pointing out how weird that statement is, but are more interested in using that account as an excuse for Hobi's less than stellar chart performance.
They have always gotten away with the subtle shades. I remember an army account saying maknae line stans were visual stans, and they also got a lot of likes for it too with no one calling them out.
Rapline stans and their superiority complex, with the way they act you would think they stanned Kendrick Lamar or jcole. No y'all just Stan pseudo-intellectuals and one trick ponies.
What would Hobi do as a soloist if he was banned from basing his concepts and music on how he was a street dancer from Gwangju a million years ago? I think Yoongi is a good rapper but you hear one suga or agust d verse and you've heard most of them, and namjoon rivals Tae when it comes to being pretentious btw with that fake cultured thing he's got going on.
For years rapline would imply that they "wrote, composed or produced x song" and armys would make everyone go with that narrative and then you check the credits it's a million other names before theirs. Namjoon would come on live, give a break down while repeatedly saying "I" and of course to armys it means he did the whole thing himself when he obviously co wrote it with multiple others and most times he isn't even the main writer or composer lol. Most BTS songs are sent to them by other writers and of course the rapline make their own contributions and needed changes to fit the group, but armys will go on and on like they're the sole writers. This has been the foundation of their superiority complex.
And what social issues do rapline talk about? What have they rapped about in their solo songs that impacted society?. What "deep message" do they have in their music that vocal line haven't also talked about in theirs? These men have the advantage of having larger discographies , nothing more.
Edit: Not saying that I don't think they're good artists, I've praised them and their artistry multiple times and I do think Yoongi and Joon are the best rappers in kpop. Just find it annoying how their stans act like they're miles above every other Kpop artist when it comes to the stuff they sing about.

Smol Brainstorm: You'll be OK!
Tumblr media
Author's Note: Another brainstorm I found! This was when Jungkook had to sit out during the London concert of the Love Yourself Tour and Jennie comforted him.
------
Accidents happen. She had hoped that Jungkook understood that. He just needed to sit and rest. Before their London show of their Love Yourself Tour, Jungkook had, unfortunately, injured his foot and had to sit out. So, he performed while seated. Jen knew how disappointed he was and she wished that he wouldn’t beat himself up over it because none of this was his fault. But during Anpanman, when she turned to see where he was, she noticed that he was crying and immediately jogged over to him after seeing Jimin trying to comfort him.
“Hey.” she placed a hand on his back and rubbed it. “I understand this is hard for you but please don’t think any of this is your fault or you let anyone down. Army understands and cares about your well being. They’re happy that you’re here on stage and want you to take it easy.”
“I-I know…” he murmured as she wiped his tears.
“I know how you feel because I’ve been there. You remember when I was hurt, you and the rest of the guys cheered me up at the concerts? I’m going to do the same for you. This is only temporary, okay? Please don’t cry. I want to see you happy,”
She held his hand and gave it a comforting squeeze while Taehyung walked over to comfort him, too. 
“I love you. Bangtan loves you. Army loves you. We are all here for you. Now come on. We won’t let you just sit here like this.” she said with a bright smile.
She wanted him to smile and laugh, so, setting aside the embarrassment, she goofily danced around him, making him and the 95 Liners laugh. 
Ah, there was that cute laugh of his…
Feeling better, Jungkook stood up and sang with Jennie hyping him up, dancing around him.
gyesok dollyeo dollyeo naye Anpan
“What!??” she shouted.
Keep ballin’ ballin’ still bangtan
“Let ‘em know!”
nun tteuni hero but still in miro
geu young man, young man, young man
“SKRRRRT SKRRTTT!”
gyesok mollae mollae sangcheo manttang
“WHOOOOOP!”
But ballin’ ballin’ still bangtan
“OW!”
apado hero duryeoumeun dwiro
Anpanman panman panman
“AAAAAAAAHHHHH!”
Jungkook burst out in laughter as he watched her. She had been hanging around G-Dragon too much to learn how to do some of his famous sound effects. Nonetheless, Jungkook thought she was adorable. After Yoongi’s verse, she rapped, grabbing Jungkook’s hand as they headed down to meet with the rest of the members. 
“I’m a new generation Anpanman!”
“Whooooop!” he playfully copied what she said earlier.
“I’m a new superhero Anpanman!”
“Say what!?”
“naega gajin geon i norae hanbang. Lemme say All the bad men, cop out!”
She felt his arms around her from behind as she received a big kiss on the cheek and a soft “I love you” in her ear while deafening screams from Army were heard when they witnessed the sweet moment.

Random question for you bpp just for fun, if you could have each member do a cover of another members solo song what would you choose? You can include their bts solos and previous mixtapes etc since we haven't got a lot to work with for all members during chapter 2 yet.
***
Hmmm.
Namjoon -> STOP by j-hope.
Joon would absolutely body that boom bap Fugees beat. He likes to channel Biggie sometimes so I'd love to get his take on it.
Seokjin -> Joke by RM
I'm kinda convinced Jin secretly knows how to rap. He's not excellent at it, but I think he's not far behind Jungkook in skill and for k-pop rap that's pretty decent. I also want to see Jin attempt to rap Joke, for the jokes. :)
Yoongi -> Your Eyes Tell by BTS (composed/written by JK)
I want to hear Yoongi's take on this OST made by Jungkook, so a remix and/or cover that includes more rap verses by Yoongi.
Hoseok -> Filter by Jimin
If he were to rejig the beat I imagine he'd add more bass and stronger percussion to give the song an added oomph. Hobi, like Jimin, really shines on Latin beats so I want to hear his take.
Jimin -> Amygdala by Agust D
This was the hardest selection because although I knew I wanted a Yoongi track for Jimin, there were too many options still. I'm going with Amygdala but I want to hear Jimin's take on it in one particular format only - I want a stripped back, acoustic type cover with only a guitar, a loop station, some reverb, and Jimin.
Taehyung -> Somebody by Jungkook
This is the sort of song I expected on KTH1 or what eventually became Layover. Taehyung shines on pop R&B tracks and I think the first verse that starts with Jungkook's voice pitched all the way down will sound really good in Taehyung's voice.
Jung Kook -> Face-off by Jimin
I want to hear this song in his 'main pop boy' voice. That's it.

Behind The Track ... Shadow ♪
Tumblr media
🔓 Unlocked
‥ The track reflects a conflict happening within Himari's mind which grows along with her fame, showcasing that every piece of light has its dark counterpart that grows stronger the more it is pushed away.
‥ She has been rather open recently about mental challenges she has faced since the group's debut and putting those negative periods into songs is - in her opinion - a way to fight her internal battles. In this case being able to write about her 'shadow' is a way of unlocking a piece of herself which still needs healing, letting out the raging emotions out in a non-harmful way and allowing her to deal with it on her own terms.
‥ Despite being a vocalist she chose to rely heavily on rap throughout the song, using vocals solely for the chorus, as she felt it conveyed the distress behind the lyrics more accurately. Rapping is usually seen as something angry and aggressive, making it the ideal choice to express the raging emotions contained in the verses while vocals are viewed as more vulnerable which is why it is used in the chorus - which is no longer confrontational but desperate.
‥ When the members listened to the rough version there was a moment of silence after the song ended as they tried to process everything they had just learned about the maknae's struggles. Yoongi having gone through very similar experiences had to step out of the studio in order to calm his thoughts as seeing so much of himself in his younger sister scared him, mainly because he did not want the cycle to repeat itself with her.
‥ This track had been in the works for a while yet she chose to completely wipe the old lyrics as they had been created during a time where she still had a hard time accepting the more negative parts of herself - her shadow - and she wanted the story to show the full extent of her conflict's growth, not bring back the version of herself in its deepest state of fatigue.
📂 Notebook
‥ 'Shadow' This represents every negative part of herself that she wishes to push away, every hurtful memory, her deepest regrets and even things such as emotional or physical pain. It also embodies anger, grudges, greed, resentment, etc.
‥ 'I wanna be...' These desires for greatness not only demonstrate the dreamy mindset of wanting to have it all but also the desperation to be good enough, to not let the hopes of those who believe in her be in vain. With the industry's constant push for perfection she developed a fear of failure, beginning to have trouble admitting when something she did was the best that could have possibly been done within her abilities.
‥ 'I wondered everyday how far I'd go. I came to my senses and I find myself here' After leaving JYPE in favor of KQ her future became uncertain due to the amount of elimination risks that came with the survival show, instilling doubt in her mind every day about how long she could hold on to her spot. During that time she drowned herself in training - including learning new skills such as production and rap - which made every day that passed almost unnoticed so when she finally took a breath after being chosen, only then did she realize she had succeeded.
‥ 'Yeah, hmm, shadow at my feet. Look down, it's gotten even bigger. I run but the shadow follows, as dark as the light's intense' The fact that the shadow stands at her feet symbolizes the fact that she has kept it below her all this time, ignoring its very existence in hopes that the light - ATEEZ's success - would dissipate it. However once she truly pays attention to it, it has grown much bigger than anticipated and no matter how much she attempts to ignore it once more she realizes that there is no escaping what has been created by her own mind. 'As dark as the light's intense' refers to the fact that the group's success only strengthens that shadow due to more stress factors, more eyes on her, more grueling physical efforts, etc.
‥ 'I can leap in the air but also plunge, now I know.' Due to coming from a small company there was not much lower for the group to go hence she believed that the only thing they could so was rise yet as they did so, people began attempting to drag her down - making the manager wonder if keeping her was truly a good choice - and that was when she realized that despite the success they had achieved they also had a risk of all of that falling apart.
‥ 'Running away could be an option too, pause' A few months after debut she began getting a large amount of hate and realized that it was affecting the group's popularity growth, leading to her making the decision to leave. The 'pause' signifies the night her bandmates found out, during which they sat the girl down and did whatever they could to alter her choice.
‥ 'People say, there's splendor in that bright light. But my growing shadow swallows me and becomes a monster' The 'bright light' refers to fame which is something that most people find to be a wonderful thing and just as light creates shadows, fame creates negativity. The group was made to work harder the more successful they became which led to her sustaining multiple injuries from extensive practices or even performances during which she suffered from deep fatigue - essentially 'swallowing' her. Monsters are terrifying and seemingly unbeatable, which is how she felt going through her depressive episode.
‥ 'I rise, rise, I hate it.' ATEEZ saw a rapid ascent to popularity which still carries on to this day and although she is proud of this achievement, she claims to hate it in order to illustrate the heavy burdens that come with it.
‥ 'I pray, I pray, hoping to be okay' It has been stated before that she does not follow a religion - despite having a few spiritual beliefs - so the fact that there is willingness to pray to something she does not believe in shows the extent of her desperation. It felt so much as though she was running out of options that the only thing she could do was hope some higher power would be willing to help her.
‥ 'Please don't let me shine. Don't let me down, don't let me fly. Now I'm afraid' The words have nothing to do with one another, symbolizing the fact that in such a terrified and desperate state there are so many things running through her head that all she can do is beg desperately to be protected from what she is afraid of.
‥ 'The moment I face myself brought lowest. It so happens that I'm flying the highest.' The Fireworks era was the lowest point in her mental health following increased demands for her to be removed from the group as well as several personal side factors and it was a time during which her body was experiencing increased fatigue. At this time however ATEEZ was at a high point, filming the show 'Kingdom: Legendary War' and 'Stressor Things' all the while promoting their new album. A similar circumstance happened during the Guerilla era, during which people claimed she needed to train harder in order to reach the members' level of power - leading to severe impacts on her body including the inability to stand after the song was over.
‥ 'Try smiling, what are you hesitating for? Wasn't this the kind of thing you were hoping for? Or cry instead, what are you scared of? Wasn't this the kind of thing you'd been wanting?' Pushing herself to smile mainly refers to the fact that in front of cameras she refused to show her fatigue, going by most days believing that tomorrow everything would go back to normal - that these feelings eating away at her were temporary. Crying was also complicated around the members due to her refusal to burden them with whatever was happening in her mind - somewhat afraid that their reactions would be negative. Questioning herself about the fact that it was what she wanted is a form of self-criticism in which she is trying to find reasons around the shadow's existence, removing any validity the conflict in her mind has.
‥ 'All the things you wanted, you've got it all. So what's the problem? Just enjoy it. Or just let it go, no? Then run, or stop. Don't whine, just choose one or the other' A lot of the time Himari became conflicted with her own feelings, not understanding why there were times she seemed tired of her career as it was what many people dreamed of and it was what she sacrificed so much for. When tired thoughts made their way into her mind, she would scold herself with the same lines she had heard from 'fans'; 'How can you be depressed when you have everything ?'.
‥ 'That at times, your rest becomes your fall. Do you finally get it? That giving it your best effort every time is what it means to do your best' Having very high expectations for herself she would not rest until she got the choreography down to perfection, however over time - thanks to a lot of help from the members - she realized that sometimes there were things her body was not able to do or handle so simply doing things to the best of her abilities was enough.
‥ [Distortion following the second bridge] The sudden switch is a humanization of the shadow's voice, turning the song into a conversation between it and her consciousness rather than a monologue.
‥ 'Yeah I'm you, you are me, now do you know. Yeah you are me, I'm you, now you do know' The shadow is attempting to rationalize with her more conscious self in order to make her realize that the mind will only become more conflicted the longer the two parts stay as two separate entities. 'Now do you know' is an aggressive, somewhat arrogantly phrased question to show that while Himari attempted to build a new self comprised of nothing but light, the shadow always knew that both could not exist without one another.
‥ 'We are one body, sometimes we will clash. You can never break me off, this you must know' Both sides of her persona essentially share the same source, the same mind, which means there is never truly an escape from either and confusion in her own mind is inevitable, even so, no side can be destroyed. 'This you must know' conveys the urgency behind the need for reconciliation between the two parts for the sake of the healing of her mental health.
‥ 'Yeah you'll be at ease if you admit it too. Yeah succeed or fail, whichever way you flow. Yeah you can't escape, wherever you go' Once again these lines are from the shadow's point of view helping her realize that the darker parts of herself will always be here no matter what, inciting her to comes to terms with this fact in order to heal. In this she is essentially attempting to make her conscious self realize that recognizing she's hurt is the first step to getting better.
‥ 'We are you, we are me, this do you know' The final lyric being from her shadow counterpart symbolizes that the conflict has been put to rest, using the word 'we' to refer to both parts as one hence symbolizing the new coexistence between the pained and healing sides of herself.

BTS Moments - Yoongi & Grace
Tumblr media
Concert
It was Yoongi’s last night in Oakland, his last date in North America before he would take his Agust D tour to Indonesia. It had been one of the loudest crowds yet to date and the arena had been on fire the moment he stepped on stage - many moments caught by ARMY had already made it onto Twitter or TikTok, both of stage names trending at number one. 
However, there was one more surprise left. 
If Max and Halsey had been surprises for everyone, this was going to be the biggest one yet. 
Grace had landed in L.A two days ago and had joined him in Oakland the night before, staying out of sight of everyone in the VIP box with staff and bodyguards. Jimin had his chance in Newark and now Grace would have hers, but in more ways than one. She had planned to come and support Yoongi in Seoul but after speaking to him and listening to his experiences, the decision was made she would fly out to support him on his last night in North America.
It was now the Encore, and instead of singing the Last, Yoongi had paused and a second mic had been brought up on stage next to him. “This is my last night in North America,” he started and paused for the translation. “And it would only be right to go out with a bang, so I’ve asked someone special to come to Oakland and surprise you all.”
They already had Halsey and Max, so ARMY whispered excitedly about who it could be. It wasn’t until So Far Away began that the speculation began, phones instantly on record and Twitter was flooded with the news. Who could be coming?
“So far away, if I had a dream,” Grace sang as she walked onto stage, the roar of the audience almost drowning out the music coming from her in-ears as she walked to her position next to Yoongi who stood back and watched, a fond smile on his face. 
ARMY hadn’t seen or heard from Grace much since the announcement of their military journey, knowing full well she would be left alone to continue as the only member of BTS remaining. No announcements had been made for her just yet, no sign of an album, no sign of anything so the fact she was here, singing Suran’s verses alongside Yooongi. 
And when it came to the final verse, as Yoongi sang or rapped the last part, there wasn’t a single dry eye in the arena.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for my sister,” Yoongi announced and Grace glanced towards him, chuckling before bowing in front of the audience then she wrapped up in Yoongi’s hug. She paused, knowing what kind of moment this was as Yoongi had never been one for hugs so the fact he was giving one willingly, she closed her eyes and smiled even more at the light kiss to her hair. 
She bowed for one final time, gave Yoongi’s hand a squeeze and left him to close up his final night. She was proud of him, very proud of him. Grace had been there from day one and now it was almost as if she was closing the chapter of another brother, another one she would have to see off and then there would be another one. But until that moment, she would enjoy what time she had left with them.

Happy J-Hope Day: 10 stages of falling in love with Jung Hoseok
Tumblr media
Just as we fans like to boast, February is not about Valentines but, for us, It’s about J-hope’s birthday. And today being 18th February, marks the 30th birthday of your hope, my hope, Bangtan’s hope, Jung Hoseok, aka, J-Hope.
J-Hope is not only a human being, he is the personification of sunshine, positive energy and a friend that we all need in life. And he has managed to make us fall for him over and over again. He has that bright and beautiful aura around himself that makes you smile even in your darkest of days. 
Starting from discovering this member with heart-shaped lips to falling head over heels with him, you go through 10 stages and it happens so fast that even before you realize what’s happening – you are in love with J-Hope. 
And to confirm these stages while celebrating the birthday of one of the best dancers of K-Pop industry, I am here with 10 stages of falling in love with J-Hope. 
1. You notice the member who laughs the most 
When you first start to watch BTS, you are bound to notice J-Hope exceptionally. And one of the reasons behind this is his laugh. 
His ringing, echoing laugh is like music to our ears. Maybe he is a bit loud at times, but the way he throws himself everywhere while laughing, makes it impossible not to notice him. And once you notice him… it’s an endgame. 
Tumblr media
2. You get to know his unique stage name: J-Hope 
The second stage is getting to know his name. J-Hope, such a unique name, isn’t it? You expect his name to be a bit sassy, given the fact that he is a rapper. But rather his name has hope in it, ‘himang’ as he likes to project. 
Then you find out how perfectly his stage name goes with his personality. The loud, smiley, always energized member is actually BTS’ hope. He has been the bridge between the hyung line and maknae line, holding the group together with his positive energy and his cool demeanor.  
3. You start smiling whenever he smiles 
The third stage is a bit dangerous because it is the starting point of falling in love with J-Hope. 
In this stage J-Hope’s happy virus gets injected into you and you find yourself smiling whenever he smiles. You may stare at your phone for minutes without realizing that you are smiling ear to ear watching him being crazy (coming out from personal experience). 
His smile, the sound of his laugh, his crinkly eyes, his bow-shaped lips, his deep brown orbs, you will start to find everything endearing and a little too interesting all of a sudden.  
Tumblr media
4. You get awed by his dance moves 
One thing about J-Hope is that no matter how boisterous he is, he is a completely different human being while performing. His powerful dance moves in heavily choreographed numbers like Mic Drop, Not Today, Dionysus, Boy Meets Evil have left us gasping for air time and time again. 
It is as if somebody shifts a button within him and he becomes an absolute serious dance machine during their performances. And when his dance teacher mode is on – even the members are scared of him. 
Remember that one Run BTS episode when all of them suggested the very same expression when it was asked to pull out an expression that they would project upon messing up a step and making an eye-contact with Hoseok. 
Once you find out the dark, serious, and dedicated authority that J-Hope has, and once you find that amusing – you are gone for good. 
Tumblr media
5. You start loving the way he raps – very uncommon 
Now you have probably already heard rappers rapping in their own way but I bet you have never heard anyone rapping like J-Hope. Even though Namjoon and Yoongi have their very own distinct styles of rapping, Hoseok’s rap style is very uncommon. 
He uses his voice like an instrument and creates verses that seamlessly flow out of his mouth in the smoothest possible way. In Boys With Fun he raps in three different ways, something only a genius can do. 
His rap artistry lies in items like Cypher series, Boys With Fun, 1 Verse, Hangsang, Arson and many more but the song that will knock breath out of your lungs is Blue Side. 
Personally, I am devoted to that song. Blue Side is one of the most underrated creations ever. 
The words, the tune, the melody, Hoseok’s breathy voice and that last verse, everything reflects perfection. And once you start feeling Blue Side in your soul – you just know J-Hope is probably your bias already.

What Are You Doing Now? (Yoongi Oneshot)
Genre: Romance, angst, past relationships, oneshot
Pairing: Yoongi x reader
Characters: Idol!Yoongi, Ex!reader, Idol!Namjoon (Cameo)
Summary: Now that Yoongi has time to revisit his past, he can’t help but remember and think about the past he had with you. When he sees a glimpse of you one night, he thinks about what could have been and where it all went wrong. Mostly, he wonders what are you doing now.
Tumblr media
The alarm ringing made Yoongi jolt. It was time for him to wake up. But was it considering waking up when he hadn’t slept. The entire night, he just laid on his side, in bed, body curled with his hands pressed between his knees. At first, he was just coming down from the adrenaline of the show but that blew over quickly, leaving him to wallow at the end.
With BTS announcing their temporary pause on group activities, Yoongi set off on creating his own schedule.
There was only one goal in mind: Finding his muse again.
He felt embarrassed for himself and to the fans. Having to admit that writing music didn’t come as easy to him anymore, that he didn’t see purpose and reason in spending nights at the Genius Lab anymore.
So he went back to his roots.
He went back underground and started participating in rap battles again. Surprisingly, not many people cared or minded that he was Suga from BTS. Ironically, they were more worried that their underground spots would be swarming with his fans that they voluntarily kept his identity a secret.
His new pseud nickname was ‘The Shooter’, known for his all black outfits, spit fire rap and jabbing lyrics.
Everyone in the rap scene, both rappers and supporters were very chill and it was easy for him to ease his way back into the underground scene.
Last night, just like any other show, Yoongi had an amazing time. Drinks were going around, rappers were having fun taking part in the fun performances on stage and all the supporters in the pit were cheering.
As he waited for his name to be called, Yoongi took a swig of whiskey, standing up and cracking his neck. Once his name was called, he could hear the crowd cheering for him. It wasn’t a night of competition, just one of having fun, people sharing the same passion for rap and music like him. Yoongi hadn’t genuinely smiled like this in a while.
“Shooter! Shooter! Shooter!” The crowd chanted as he began rapping. There weren’t any planned lyrics, it was all freestyle, something Yoongi missed the most. No need for censoring, age restriction or ‘safe’ lyrics.
As he vibed in support of the other rapper on stage, he scanned the crowd. But suddenly, Yoongi felt the wind get knocked out of him.
The person that stood right at the back, face barely visible, only the soft glow of a nearby exit sign helped Yoongi make out the person’s features only slightly.
He didn’t know if it was real, he wasn’t used to seeing the person so far back, not even looking at the stage. This wasn’t a usual mannerism. He was more used to seeing the person vibe in the front row, rather than chat with someone making the music more a background tune.
“Sorry, I need a break!” Yoongi bowed in apology and ran off the stage. No one minded, the other rappers happy to just have more of their verses in the performance. He pulled his headset off, tossing the mic aside.
“Yoongi? You good?” His manager asked.
“Y-Yeah. I need a drink.” Yoongi removed his managers hands from his shoulders and walked out. Instead of heading to the bar like he said, he went to the exit sign.
But you were gone. Yoongi scratched his head with a perplexed face. He let out a long sigh and headed to a bar.
“Whiskey. Neat.” He ordered, sliding onto the bar stool. Holding the patterned crystal glass by the rim, he took a sip and leaned his head against the back of his wrists, one hand steadily holding the glass.
Maybe this was a sign that he should just call it a night, the exhaustion hitting him and he was just seeing things. Yoongi finished the rest of his drink with one gulp and went to find his manager so he could go home. He ignored all the other people that tried to talk to him on the way to the van. Even the drive home was so quiet. Without even a goodbye, Yoongi jumped out of the van the moment it stopped at the driveway and headed to his apartment.
*BARK*
“Good evening, Holly.” Yoongi bent down to pat his head, running his fingers through the soft brown fur. Holly trotted after Yoongi, excited to just hop into bed with his owner.
There was only the sound of Holly’s footsteps and Yoongi’s house slippers shuffling around. Yoongi jumped into the shower first to get himself clean.
Leaning against the cool tiles of his shower stall, he thought back to what happened post breakup.
With ultimate secrecy, he even tried online dating. He was desperate to get rid of any thoughts in relation to him. There was something about his pride, having to show that he moved on first before you did. And some girls were really nice, coming from families that Yoongi’s mother would be excited to meet.
However, something about each of them was off.
It was too different and instead of focusing on how wonderful his date was, Yoongi found himself nitpicking at what she lacked. Not what she lacked as a person but what she lacked compared to you.
You were Yoongi’s person. The person that just clicked with him immediately and complemented his personality and mannerisms.
You had set the bar so high above the moon that Yoongi was never able to find anyone that could even come close.
After his shower, Yoongi poured himself another drink and headed to his bedroom for the night. Holly used the staircase to climb onto the big bed, curling right in the middle, meaning that Yoongi had to sleep at the side.
“Good boy.” Yoongi smiled softly, caressing Holly’s ear between his fingers. He took a seat at the small study desk in his room, it was only there in case he was lazy to head to his actual home studio. While he waited for his laptop to turn on, he scrolled on his phone, checking social media and messages from his group members.
‘New gaming set up! - Seokjin hyung’
‘Attachment: 1 image’
It was weird at first, not having all members living together. But Yoongi was glad for his own space. He could decorate it how he liked it, going for a minimalist look and do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.
‘Yoongi hyung! I hope your performance tonight went well! If you don’t mind, I sent you the new beats I was working with for track 4? There’s no rush but I would love to hear your opinion on it! - Jiminie’
Right, with the announcement of solo albums coming out, Yoongi was not only working on his own music but helping the others too.
Yoongi let out yet another sigh, this one full of despair. He rubbed his face with his hands in frustration, he hated that he had let you into his mind to invade his thoughts again.
*whimper*
“I’m alright, Holly ah.” Yoongi turned to the dog, who rested his head on his paws and looked up at his dad.
You loved Holly a lot and Holly loved you too. While he wasn’t known to be the best with strangers, just like his dad, Holly immediately took a liking to you. Your dream was to work with animals and Yoongi would never forget the way your eyes just lit up when you were with an animal.
You and Yoongi… You dated for so long that everyone thought you were going to get married.
You met when you were both 17, in high school. Yoongi went to an all boys school and you went to an all girls school but you met since you both take the same route home together.
As a kid, Yoongi was always teased about wanting to do music, even his family strongly disapproved of it. They always ended up arguing over how music is never a stable living, especially since Yoongi’s family struggled financially.
But you were the only one that supported him and his dreams. You listened to every lyric and tune that Yoongi put together.
When the first offer came, you encouraged Yoongi to take it. Every criticism, you worked through it with him. He knew he could trust you to tell him the truth and never hide anything from him.
Despite the financial struggle, Yoongi still pushed on, thanks to you. He promised to marry you, even going as far to plan out the house that you would live in together, the design mirroring the current apartment that he stayed in quite a bit. The first sign of success was when he was offered a contract by Big Hit Entertainment after placing second in a competition.
“Should I do song writing or rap?” Yoongi chewed on his bottom lip as he stared at the sign up sheet.
“Wanna flip a coin?” You offered.
“Aegi… This is serious.” Yoongi gave you a flat look. You threw your head back with laughter, reaching out to cup your boyfriend’s cheeks, positioning his head up so that it faced you. 
“Listen, Min Yoongi. You got this, alright? Whether you wanna rap, write music or split an atom, heck even if you wanna fly! Go for it!” You grinned.
“Come here, you.” Yoongi softened, wrapping his arms around your waist to pull you onto his lap.
“Whatever happens, I’ll make sure to work hard and let you live the best life you could ever have, okay? Even if I have to fight my way to make it to the top, I will.” He pressed his forehead against your cheek to hold you close.
“And I’ll be there too. Fighting with you. Watch my technique.” You did mini punches with your fists.
“Yeah, you’ll definitely scare them off.” Yoongi chuckled, watching you with adoration. You weren’t usually this childish and playful, he knew you were just acting like that so he wouldn’t be so stressed and it really worked. Being with you made him feel calmer.
“Yeah so don’t mess with me! That includes you too, Min Yoongi. I’ll beat you up if I have to.” You huffed with a frown. Yoongi laughed so hard that the laughs escaping him were silent. 
“I wouldn’t dare.” 
“I’ll buy you a big house, you can decorate it how you’d like and we’ll have as many animals as you’d like.” Yoongi smiled softly. 
“Do you really mean that? Because be prepared for me to bring home different animals to take care of and nurse through the night.” You warned with a chuckle. Yoongi tucked a stray hair behind your ears.
“I’ll even stay up with you to keep watch.” He promised. 
Yoongi fell back against the back rest of his chair, staring into space while he head pressed against the head rest. He wondered if you really got the job you wanted and are living the life that you dreamt of. The both of you were so sure that by now, you would be in a home of your own together, just enjoying your lives together.
This proved to make it hard to be productive. So Yoongi headed to bed. He didn’t sleep, his mind too busy running wild. Even talking to ARMY on Weverse wasn’t enough. That emptiness in his chest was back after so many years. 
When Yoongi’s alarm rang the following morning, he got up to feed Holly first. He wasn’t hungry so he didn’t need breakfast. 
Sitting at his kitchen island with a big cup of iced americano, he called Namjoon over to his house. 
“Hey, hyung.” Namjoon removed his shoes as he entered.
“Hey. Thanks for coming, Namjoon ah.” Yoongi forced a smile. Honestly, Yoongi didn't know why he called Namjoon over. Maybe he felt that someone being around would take his mind off of you. 
He made Namjoon a coffee as well, the both of them chilling in Yoongi’s living room with soft rap music playing in the background. 
“I saw her last night... She was at the show I was performing at. It’s been a few years and she still looks the same.” Yoongi said, looking down at the cup in his hands. Namjoon would know what Yoongi is talking about. After all, you became best friends with Namjoon after getting together with Yoongi.
“I see...” Namjoon didn’t really know what to say. Yoongi knew why. It was because Namjoon was still in contact with you. Despite breaking up with Yoongi, you were on good terms with Namjoon. 
“I know you’re still talking to her and that you follow her on your other social media account.” Yoongi cleared his throat. 
“You’re right. But do you really want to know, hyung?” Namjoon was uncertain.
“After seeing her last night, I just need to know how she is. And what she’s up to now.” Yoongi confessed. Maybe knowing how you were doing would calm him down and he could move on again.
“Fine. Here.” Namjoon handed you his phone with your social media page on it. Yoongi was careful with the scrolling, not wanting to accidentally like a picture. 
“She’s working as a vet nurse now. And volunteers at an animal rehabilitation centre...” Namjoon explained as Yoongi came upon a photo of you cuddled with a baby penguin.
“She achieved her dream... She actually did it, huh?” Yoongi didn’t even realise the proud smile he had on his face as he heard Namjoon’s words about you. Just like him, you had achieved your dream. The both of you made it to the future that you wanted for yourselves. While you were working with animals, he was successfully writing music. 
“We don’t chat all the time with our busy schedules but she asks about you from time to time. She’s happy that we made it, that you achieved your dream as well. She’s really happy for you, hyung.” Namjoon said softly. 
“She asks about me?” Yoongi blinked in confusion. Namjoon nodded his head. 
Honestly, Yoongi didn’t know why he didn’t contact you. You didn’t exactly part on bad terms. The both of you grew apart and things just weren’t healthy anymore, there wasn’t any communication.
But as you parted, you told Yoongi that he could always call you and that you would still always be supporting him no matter what. 
Yoongi did contemplate calling you. Maybe remaining friends was a possibility but Yoongi couldn’t bring himself to call you. What if you were just saying it to be nice? 
Did you want him to call in the first place? 
If you really wanted to talk to him again, you would have called him right? Instead of waiting for him to call you. 
However, now you were both living in that ideal future that you both dreamt about. The only thing that was missing was your plans of still being together, sharing many new firsts as a couple, maybe even getting married and starting a family of your own at this age. 
Your dreams and aspirations of success didn’t seem so far anymore, it didn’t feel like something out of reach or a fantasy anymore. The both of you had been through a lot, as a couple and as individuals. 
Maybe now was the time to put that in the past and start anew again. 
“Did she... move on?” Yoongi asked. He knew that you were pretty and in the years that he dated you, you had many suitors. It wouldn’t be surprising if you have a new partner.
“She-” 
“You know what? I don’t want to know. Don’t tell me. I shouldn’t even be caring about that.” Yoongi cut the younger off with a wave. 
After a couple of drinks and some takeout lunch, Namjoon left. He was needed at the studio to go through the new tracks for Taehyung’s solo album. Yoongi laid on his bed. He regretted not letting Namjoon reply whether you were attached now. It was going to eat at him until he knew. 
He needed to find a way to speak to you. Turning in his chair, he scratched his head as he faced his computer screen. Would it be weird if he appeared at your work? It definitely would. 
“You do it, Holly. You call your mum.” Yoongi put the phone in front of the poodle, who took his toy and turned around, ignoring his dad. 
Over the next few days, Yoongi tried to distract himself, going back to the underground performances, producing music for his upcoming solo album and helping the other members with their own music production. 
“Good work today.” Yoongi said to Jimin.
“Thanks, hyung.” Jimin grinned with a wave and left the studio. Just as the door closed, Yoongi’s phone beeped on his desk. 
‘Coincidentally, hyung. Jungkook took Bam to the vet and guess who’s in the neighbourhood for her rotation. He bumped into her as she was clocking out. - Namjoon’
‘Attachment: 1 image’
Yoongi’s eyes widened at the image from that Jungkook sent to Namjoon and was subsequently sent to him. Jungkook was seen posing with you, hugging Bam. You were smiling happily, dressed casual but stylish, the same style you and Yoongi always had. You were wearing an old shirt, tied to make it more fitting and skinny jeans. 
That ‘old shirt’ you wore, Yoongi couldn’t believe that you still kept it, much less wore it out. It was Yoongi’s shirt that you stole from him. There was a lot of significance in it. 
Prior to debut, Yoongi couldn’t afford branded clothes. This was the first branded shirt he wore. You had found it and taken ownership of it.
“Jagi, where’s the-” Yoongi stopped at the bedroom door just as you pulled the shirt over your head.
“Where did you find this?” Yoongi came forward, bending down. His fingers grabbed the edge of the sleeve, a soft smile on his face.
“I was looking for my skirt and found it. I’ve never seen you wearing this before and judging by your reaction, you haven’t seen it in a bit? It seems old and faded.” You asked. 
“Oh, I didn’t tell you when I got it. But this was the first branded shirt I bought when I saved enough money from producing. I thought I lost it somewhere but I’m glad you found it. I don’t wear it anymore but it’s nice to have as a memory.” Yoongi patted your head. 
“I should remove it then.” You moved to pull the shirt over your head but Yoongi stopped you by grabbing your wrists.
“No, aegi. It looks good on you. You should keep it.” He chuckled. 
“Really?” 
“Of course. You look cute.” Yoongi chuckled. The shirt was so big that you were practically swimming in it. But in Yoongi’s eyes, only you could look so cute in such an old shirt. 
“Let me see.” Yoongi pulled you to stand up. The shirt was a dress on you but you made it work, of course. He sat on the bed, wrapping his arms around your waist. You placed your hands on his head as he leaned against your abdomen.
“I didn’t think you would be the sentimental type, Yoon.” You teased with a giggle. This was the man that said he never wants to re-produce the same song, that he has no regrets for any content that he has ever put out and that you should only be looking at the future, never the past. It was surprising that he kept this shirt.
“You’re right, I’m not sure why I kept it too. I guess that’s why I’m not so fussed about you having it.” He looked up at you. 
Yoongi smiled fondly at the memory. Thanks to you, he was able to find such joy in even the most mundane moments. You always found a way to brighten up any room that you walked into and make people smile. 
Ever since you started dating, he was the silent affectionate kind of guy. You were fine with that, you loved Yoongi for Yoongi. You didn’t want or need him to change. 
But with being having silent affection, that also meant Yoongi was used to hiding his emotions instead of sharing and discussing them. 
After so many years of your relationship, you felt your relationship growing distant. Even the smallest communication you had was gone and the both of you were growing incessantly frustrated with each other. 
“Why didn’t you tell me you were taking Holly with you?” Yoongi asked on the phone, frowning when he came home to find the house dark and empty. There was no sign of you or the brown poodle anywhere. He heard you let out a soft sigh and apology to whoever you were with.
“Hang on. Let me get out of the study hall.” You said to Yoongi. Yoongi waited quietly, the frown still on his face as he tapped his foot against the ground.
“I needed to go for study hall so I brought Holly with me. Don’t worry, he’s fine and well taken care of.” You spoke calmly.
“You still shouldn’t have just taken him without telling me.” 
“Yoongi, I honestly didn’t even know if you were coming home tonight. Holly and I haven’t seen you in a week. I took him with me for the night so he wouldn’t be alone.” You finally approached the sensitive topic.
“Why do you have to say it like that? You know I’m busy with this comeback and the extra producing jobs.” Yoongi sighed.
“I know... Yoongi. I understand, you know I do... But try to understand it from my point of view too. How many nights I wait up, not sure if you’re having dinner or even coming home to sleep. You don’t answer your phone, no updates, nothing. When was the last time we even saw each other in the flesh? Much less, talked on the phone like this.” You sighed. 
“You know I can take care of myself. It’s not like something is going to happen to me at the studio.” 
“Look, I have to go. We’ll talk soon. There’s leftovers in the fridge you can heat up if you’re hungry.” You didn’t want to argue with him, you wanted to leave this call as soon as possible. 
“Where are you now? Why are you even staying out the entire night?” Yoongi asked before you had the chance to hang up on him.
“I told you, I have a major presentation to do and an exam to study for. Plus, I’m more productive in school, where my professors and classmates are. I’ll be home tomorrow and I promise we’ll talk then.” You replied.
“I’m coming to get you now.” 
“No, Yoongi. Just stay home and sleep, I’ll be home tomorrow morning.” You were just exhausted with this conversation. 
After you hung up, Yoongi went to check the calendar on your desk. His eyes widened, the exam you were studying for wasn’t an ordinary exam. It was your vetenarian medicine placement exam, the most important one. Now he felt bad, he didn’t have the guts to face you now. 
You had returned home the next morning, even making sure to come home earlier because you felt bad for leaving the conversation with Yoongi. But even at 6am, the house was empty. Holly trotted in and around the apartment.
“Guess he’s busy, huh?” You sighed, scratching Holly’s head. 
And this was just the beginning of your fights with Yoongi. All the fights that were left in the air with no chance for you to talk it out with him, plus you saw each other less and less. 
In the end, you decided that it wasn’t healthy for you to continue this. You both parted unwillingly and in tears but it was ‘for the best’.

You waved to the last patient that walked out before returning back to the nurses’ station. Yawning, you stretched your arms over your head. 
“Heading home for the night?” 
“I’ll just do one more round before handing over to the night shift. Have a nice night, doctor.” You smiled. The doctor nodded and waved before leaving. Grabbing the clipboard from the box, you went to the cages where the animals that were hospitalised were resting. You did the routine checks on them. Just as you were finished, the team for the night shift came in. 
“Good work today!” They smiled as they took over from you. 
“Thank you. Have a nice night.” You wished. Going to the locker room, you grabbed your bag. You smiled softly at the small picture of Holly you hung up in your locker. 
“Hope you’re doing well.” You chuckled at the photo. Before heading off, you went to the main back area.
“Suga, time to go home.” You reached in to gently lift the sleeping kitten. The white feline opened his eyes, leaning into the warmth of your touch.
“Let’s go home.” You carried him in your arms. This kitten was new, it was a rescue that a good samaritan brought to the clinic. For some reason, his mannerisms just reminded you of your ex boyfriend. 
You couldn’t help but be drawn to him that you adopted him, even naming him Suga. He followed you into work because his health still wasn’t 100% and you needed to check on him every now and then. Also, the doctors assisted you in making sure he was checked up on and vaccinated. 
“Sleepy boy.” You smiled endearingly. After bidding everyone goodbye, you checked your messages that you received during the day while you couldn’t be on your phone.
‘Hey. I know it’s been a while... How are you?- Yoongi’
You weren’t expecting the sudden message from your ex boyfriend. You hadn’t spoken to him since the break up. 
‘Hey, sorry for replying so late. I’m good, Yoongi. What about you? - (y/n)’
‘Glad to hear, Jungkook told me he saw you when he took Bam to the vet. But Bangtan’s taking some time off. We’re doing some solo albums and performances now. - Yoongi’
‘I heard. I’m glad, you all deserve a break. - (y/n)’
‘I actually wanted to ask you... - Yoongi’
‘Ask me? - (y/n)’
‘I’ve been thinking a lot about everything... you, me, whatever happened... You didn’t deserve that, (y/n). We should have communicated and talked things out instead of hiding it. Maybe we will never get back to what we used to be. Even if we have to start all over again, right from the start of everything. I think we can work it out. - Yoongi’
‘You’re right, Yoongi. We were getting frustrated but unable to tell each other. As promising as it sounds, do you think we can really make things work again? - (y/n)’
‘I do. I still love you. - Yoongi’
‘Honestly, I don’t know how I feel. Maybe there’s still love there but there’s still hurt too. - (y/n)’
‘It’s okay. Let’s not get too far and just talk things out, you don’t have to make a decision on anything now. Maybe talking will bring you some clarity on what you feel.  Even if at the end, things still aren’t meant to be. At least this will be the closure we need. - Yoongi’
‘Alright. - (y/n)’
‘What are you doing now? - Yoongi’
