crowd: J-HOPE! J-HOPE! J-HOPE! J-HOPE! J-HOPE! J-HOPE! J-HOPE!

a tear escapes mr jung's eyes watching the stadium of 5 million people chant his name. the people who made him the mr jung he was that day. watching the eyes of endless rows of fangirls waving their army bombs in unison, while a group of fanboys clap along to the chant. across the stage there was a mother carrying her child on her shoulders, holding her child's hand while waving her lightstick.

behind him was his best friend yoongi beaming with pride, watching his sunshine embrace all the love and euphoria of the atmosphere. he recalled when hoseok almost never received any fan-mail, and now the entire stadium was chanting his name, his signature, his identity.

j-hope: i, i can't do this, im dragging you guys down...

jungkook: no hyung! you're important to us, please don't go...

yoongi: why would you want to quit??? just like this???

namjoon: bangtansonyeondan will no longer be bangtan without you, hyung, we're seven, not 6...

the rest in unison: ani!!

hoseok was packing his room, kneeling down to arrange his possessions in his bag when jungkook runs into the room and kneels beside him

jungkook: hoseok hyung please stay...

j-hope: im sorry googie, sometimes sacrifices must be made...

jungkook: no hyung! you're not making a sacrifice! no one can rap like you, no one can dance like you, who's gonna be my power battery next time? who's gonna make everyone laugh after a long and tiring practice? who's gonna write our songs? hy- hyu- hyung- hyung-

j-hope: don't cry, googie, don't cry...

jungkook: hyung don't quit, please, i- i- i can't continue without a j-hope in my life, i'll feel missing, and it's my fault that i didn't convince you to stay, i'll regret it for life, hyu-

j-hope: stop cry- st- stop crying...

jungkook: then will you sta- stay-

j-hope: i'll stay

jungkook engulfs hoseok in a bear hug, sobbing quietly in his shoulder, tightening his arms on hoseok's neck. hoseok stops packing his room and hugs the crying boy back.

they stayed like this for the entire night...

through the night...

as a tear escapes hoseok's eyes, not out of happiness, but out of love
