BTS or Bangtan Sonyeondan'' It's not just a word but a part of my soul.
The journey began a year ago. I was my school's all rounder, a person whom everyone craved to be friends with, and teacher’s dearest tutee. Everything was going good until one bright day; we had sport's day selection in our school. The whistle blew, and I sprinted at the speed of light, tearing through the air. A wave of euphoria ran through my body as the finishing line was visible. Suddenly, a girl pushed me hard and I landed on my face with my right hand crushed beneath my body. I managed to look up to see that she was smirking and a look of triumph was plastered on her face.
We got to know, my right hand was fractured and I wouldn't be able to use it for the coming 1 month. The agony was as much that it led me to thoughts like-"Why didn't I die before undergoing this?" Smile had already lost its way to my face, but I hadn't even let a single drop escape my eyes. If this wasn’t enough, my grandmother started to have heart issues. My mom who was the only person to eliminate my boredom departed.
I sighed deeply; Dry air of solemness touched my skin. When I started to get flashbacks, those envy filled eyes; it was crystal clear that she had shoved me intentionally. I clenched my left fist. Then I realised why I was even alone right now? Where are those people who used to sing melodies of my praise? Suddenly the fact hit me hard on the chest, that in reality no one actually cared. Silence surrounded me, and everything turned dark. Unexpectedly, my phone buzzed. "Hello?" No one answered. My legs had become a rock, instantly, I stumbled. With only one hand I tried to balance, but ended up pressing some buttons, as a result, my phone started to play a song. I was about to stand up and stop but the soothing beats made my legs step back. Instead I leaned on the wall and closed my eyes.
That new but beautiful music touched my ears, My heart became heavy and then the unknown but magical vocals of Kim Taehyung peacefully just hugged my soul. For the first time, a shiny tear left my eye, one and then another. I started to cry my heart out being unaware if those tears were because of my pain, or betrayal, or being alone. Who knew the song-"Winter Bear'' would become the turning point of my life.
"When I entered the family, I didn't feel like a stranger 'Cause now I knew I was home." BTS entered my life like seven princes riding on white equines on a rainbow path and pulled me out of a dungeon. The love and comfort which my family couldn't give me by staying just beside me, they gave me by staying miles away. Each and every lyric either results in motivating, or comforting me. The words which I was never able to reveal, they effortlessly conveyed through their songs. I need them at every step of my life, just like pillars to a house, a moon to the earth, and ‘nutella to bread.’ They are my daily dose of serotonin, they never care about their Reputation; sometimes even behave like crack heads the same as me. And, Crack heads must stay together. But now let's talk logically. When I got everything I ever wanted, in BTS, why do I even need other worldly pleasures? What does being need in lifeInspiration, Entertainment, Passion, Love. BTS got it all.
Not only BTS but ARMYs also play a big role in why I'll never leave. ARMYS too are so skilful and creative which incites me to keep going. I may not have friends but I always know there are 140 million+7 people who care and will support me no matter what. They are on my journey together, holding my hands tight, showing me the path, and flashing a warm smile whenever I step higher.
Recently, where other artists were busy releasing songs promoting girls, cars, money, BTS launched a whole album to comfort and cheer us up. Their love for us is just unconditional. They gave me life, stitched my soul and protected me in their embrace, why will I ever dare to abandon my angels? I may only be one of those millions stars of the Bangtan Universe but at least I’m still shining. I know I was not here from the start, but I'll be here till the last. Encountering BTS wasn’t just a coincidence; they stepped in my life when I needed them the most. And, “You can’t just come into someone’s life, make them feel special, and leave”
