Chapter 1: Changes

Taehyung's POV:

Three years later~

Well, what I can only say is that time flies so fast. I never knew that, it's 2020 now already. But, I guess nothing has changed. Jungkook and I_____ Jungkook and I interact with one another sometimes. But, it's not that often, whether it's off or on-cam. There's no difference. I guess, we have changed a lot. Jungkook and I, weren't that close anymore. But yeah, I still love him. Y'know, like a little brother. He's like that for me. He's too precious for me.

For the past 3 years, I have struggled the most. Especially in putting such an act on-cam and on public. That's why, having people outside the group that I can talk to and lean on, had helped me a lot to survive. Seo Joon-hyung
and Hyungsik-hyung. They helped me a lot. Even Bogumie-hyung. But the pain never eased inside my heart.

"Jungkook-ah~ wait for me!"-said Jimin as he rushes towards him.

As always, they're going to share the same car again to go home. I'm not mad, I'm just a little bit pissed off. Firstly, because now they have a lot of times together. Either off cam or on-cam. Second, I've never hanged out with them since 2017. I mean, it would have been better if I could hang out with one of them but no. The managers always told us to not go out on public together. I don't really know what's their issue about us three? Or me and Jungkook. I mean, come on! That issue is already dead, right? It's already 3 years. Why can't we just move on, on our own lives? Just like before.

I sat inside the car waiting for  Yoongie hyung. Well, we're always together because we have the same home town. Same goes with JK and Jimin. But still, it really pissed me off. I mean, am I not part of the maknae line?

"Yaah. Taehyungie~ why are you just staring again? Is there a problem? You want to talk it out?"- Yoongie hyung asked.

"There's nothing hyung, just don't mind me."- I shrugged it off and then, straighten up.

" I'm glad that, you're okay. Knowing that, for the past 3 years, you and JK had never had a proper conversation with each other."

I was surprised at his remarks. Well, it's because Yoongie hyung seems to be the last person to care about what's happening around him. Second, he always sleeps and most of the time he's so silent so I just think, he doesn't care neither know anything. But anyway, why is he asking me now? I mean, after 3 years? He's going to asked me only now?

"Y-yeah. Well, I'm okay. Jungkook and I_____ well, there's nothing special though. Just like before."- I tried to answer confidently.

"But before, you used to be cheerful. You two used to bond a lot, I remember cursing a lot of times because of you guys, playing around and not letting me sleep. You used to be the 'partner in crime' in our group. I___ I just think, you two has changed a lot. Time flies so fast."

I smiled awkwardly. Now, memories are playing on my mind again.

"Anyway, just shrugged it off! Maybe, I'm just being too emotional here. It's just my feelings and opinion anyway. It's because, I don't see you guys bond all around. But___*he paused a little bit* But, I think you must restored your relationship with Jungkook, Taehyungie."-he said as tried to close his eyes as he relaxed his back from the seat. "Don't let, negative comments ruined you."

With those said words. I felt a little bit relaxed. Now, I just knew. Yoongie hyung, really does care for us. Maybe, he isn't just good at showing it. I'm touched by his words. This hyung is really cool, I must admit.

Time skip~

I opened my phone. Just browsing on YouTube. I don't really know. But, what Yoongi hyung had told me the other day got stuck on my head like a magnet.

Then I came with this video called most popular ships in K-pop industry. I got curious. I don't know why but, there's an eager inside me. Some part of me, just wanted to ignore it while the other badly, wants to know who are the most popular ships in K-pop industry. Well, I'm just curious or am I expecting anything? Ugh! Nevermind. I'll just play it.

Okay, so far. I can say that this video is full of delusional fans. Or should I say, die hard shippers. I mean, the list from 20-10 is pretty obvious made by the fans itself there's no special.

Then it's top 5. Namjin, came to no.5, followed Chaesoo on no.4, Yoonmin on no.3, Jenlisa on no.2 and wait?!____ no.1Jikook/Vkook/Vminkook?!!!

"But why?"- I whispered to myself. "I thought, we're the only one popular as BTS ship? Why is it Jikook though? I mean, Jikook and Taekook being tie from that poll? Seriously? You gotta be kidding me. Jungkook and I, literally made our own name before. So, how can someone else be more popular without putting some more effort?"

Then, I got curious again. And so, I  went on the comment section.

"Jikook is real!!!"

"Omo~! Jikook on the top! My ship is sailing, y'all!"

"Jikook relationship is brighter than your future. So don't even speak up."

Seriously?! These people only talks about Jikook. How can it be? I mean, it's basically us three on the top? How can they missed me? Then I continued reading the comments.

"Uwu~ My Taekook is sailing again! Finally! After such a long time."

"My first ship is here winning it, even though without any interaction for the past years. The Taekook supremacy!"

"Literally, Taekook is love."

"Only old Army's knows how special Taekook is. New Army can't ever understand us old Army's and Taekookers. Definitely, because you missed the whole starting journey of the boys together. So shut up! Taekook is real!"

After reading these comments. I got a lot better. I don't really know why, but I felt relaxed and happy. This is a strange feeling for me though. I've never felt this way before. Maybe, because I'm glad that there's still some people who appreciates me.

But then the last comments, hit me really hard. It left me a strong impression.

"I must say that, Jikook is the real one here. Why insist this whole f*ckin fanservice thing in these list of real ships in K-pop industry? Huh? I really hate it!"

"Seriously?! How can you let this Taekook tie with our supreme ship? This Taekook is a  whole goddamn fanservice! A big lie, a fake one! Stop dreaming girls."

"I hate it whenever this dude is being the middle ground around my two babies. I mean, Jikook is better off without this plastic surgery guy. He's a total jerk, alien and creep inside the kpop industry. You shouldn't let him be near with our boys."

"Why can't this creep and disgusting human being, get away from my Jikook heart? Why can't he just get lost? Or better yet, leave the group? He's just a big mistake in the group anyway."

"Taekookers should wake up from their own dreams. Just by looking at how uncomfortable, my baby Kookie is from this gay maniac. I just really wanted to punch him so hard, and throw him outside of their company. Disgusting human being! Freak!"

After reading those comments. I felt so sad. Once again, my expectations died just like that. I thought, everything is alright. I thought, just like before. We'll have much supporters. But it turns out that, everything has changed now. We're not the main ship in BTS anymore. Jikook is... Wait?! So, if we aren't the main ship anymore. Then does it mean, that we could interact now on-cam or off-cam? I guess, I have to talk with Seo Joon-hyung. I need his advice.
