The One

Chapter 36

~6 months later~

"Bang..."

"BANGTAN!"

BTS cheers before turning and following the staff to their designated positions.

"Ready?" Yoongi looks at Jungkook. Jungkook smirks, nodding.

They both turn to their allocated positions.

BTS are about to perform their last comeback stage for the new album. Even after spending 2 months out of the public eye, the members still received multiple awards, love and praise for their new album. They have already started organizing another world tour, something the fans were very excited to hear.

The song Yoongi wrote for Lilly, 'Eternal Love', has become a hit. When its popularity grew, Bang PD organized a music video to be made. Lilly was able to star in it.

Fans from all around the world fell in love with the love song and their love for each other. It was so overwhelming and powerful, even fans who were against the relationship fell in love.

Today, Yoongi will be able to perform it alongside his members, his mind only on Lilly.

As the concert ends, after 3 songs are performed, they exit the stage. All the members feel like they have grown from the experience. The trials of fans accepting Lilly, the drama and turmoil that occurred in their time together. Every single member has learnt and grown.

As the days become longer and their feet become heavier, they keep going. They practice on days they would rather sleep. They work 24/7, making music, getting better, and progressing. Growing as a group. They will do so in the future, as they get older and find the ones they love.

Through all this, ARMY will always support and love them for what they do. For BTS and ARMY support each other and grow together. Forever.

Jungkook:

"Who are you messaging?" Jungkook pulls his phone into his chest, glaring up at Jimin.

"Is it a girl?" Jimin asks, teasing him even more.

"Stop," Jungkook frowns. Jimin chuckles, backing away. He rushes off to tell Taehyung. Jungkook sighs, looking down at his phone.

Jimin wasn't lying. Jungkook has been messaging a girl. As his confidence builds, he finds he's able to talk to her as comfortably as he spoke to Lilly.

Jungkook has found that his heart no longer aches when he thinks of her. He no longer longs or hopes for her to be with him.

She was his first love, but he was not hers. Over the months he has moved past his feelings, hiding them like ice under his shirt. When his heart froze over watching them during the music video shooting, the ice didn't melt as fast as he wanted it to. But when he threw himself into his work, he found it defrosted faster.

Soon, the ice will no longer exist. But at this point, his chest no longer aches or longs for her. Yoongi has started letting him hang around her when he's not around.

He no longer sees opportunities to see her or think of ways to win her over. Now she's his good friend.

At the end of the day, that's all that matters. The beginning of a close friendship.
