Jungkook strolled through the park. He needed to clear his head after his awful dream. Although it was a dream, it was had such tangible scenes and felt so real to him that he was terrified.

"Jungkook!"

He turned his head around to see Namjoon running towards him. "Where have you been?!"

"Hyung." Jungkook spoke in a small voice.

Namjoon held the maknae's shoulders, knowing something was wrong. He didn't want to press him and stared at Jungkook, thinking of ways to cheer him up. "Want to go dance to clear up your mind? Should we go eat?"

Jungkook forced a smile on his face and shook his head. "No, I'm okay. Thanks though, I might go practice in a bit." he said, walking off.

The leader sighed. He knew something was wrong, and knew that Jungkook was hiding his emotions. There was nothing Namjoon could do about it.

After running a few miles around the park, Jungkook went in BigHit's main building to practice the choreo for their next comeback.

"NO!! WHAT?!"

The maknae froze, hearing Jimin yell. He pressed his ear against the training room and tried to listen to what was happening.

"No. We're including him no matter what."

"But–"

The door opened and a mad Jimin stormed out, not noticing Jungkook. Jungkook walked into the room, seeing their manager. He looked surprised to see him but spoke.

"Jungkook? What are you– actually.. We need to talk." the manager pulled out a chair for him and Jungkook hesitantly took the seat, dreading the imminent conversation.

"We've been thinking. Should we exclude you from the next comeback?"

The color drained from Jungkook's face. "What?"

"We haven't shot the music video, and we can edit the songs so that your parts get removed." he sighed. "This may sound harsh, but it's for the better and for the sake of bangtan."

"What effect would this have? Wouldn't it have a negative one?" Jungkook spread his arms in front of him. "I can see hundreds of articles popping up within a few minutes of the music video release. Jungkook Excluded From BTS Comeback. Who is Jungkook's Girlfriend? Is BTS Disbanding Already? Jungkook Missing from BTS Comeback. Where is–"

The manager rubbed his head."Okay, I get it. As of now, we'll keep you in the comeback. What do you think of debuting y/n?"

Jungkook stared at him. "I mean, I'd love for you to debut her but it could have bad backlash right now, with everything going on. I'm sure everyone knows her face, so releasing her to the public will cause nothing but hate towards her. Do it when she's ready."

"Actually, that's not true." the manager spoke up. Jungkook looked up at him. "What do you mean?"

The manager pulled out his phone and searched up "Jungkook" on YouTube. A video titled "Does Jungkook Have A Girlfriend?" popped and he clicked it. Most of the newer comments were supportive, and the ratio of supporters to haters was huge.

"See? Look at most of the comments."

Jungkook leaned forward and slowly scrolled through the comments.
