The crowd buzzed with excitement as the 2018 fan meeting unfolded in front of Yuri's eyes. The familiar faces of Bangtan Seonyeondan stood before her, the thrill of seeing them again igniting her spirit as she pushed through the sea of ARMYs. But amidst the joy, a palpable heaviness nestled in her chest, overshadowing everything-because she knew this fan meet carried a bittersweet finality.As she stepped up for her turn to meet Yoongi, her heart felt like it was caught in a vice. "Yoongiah," she said, her voice trembling slightly as she stood in front of him, "I wanted to tell you that maybe this will be the last fan meet that I am going to attend."
His expression shifted slightly, brows furrowing with concern. "Why...?" he asked, his tone genuine and caring.
Yuri opened her mouth to respond, but the words caught in her throat as tears prickled at her eyes. "I am getting married soon..." she confessed, fighting back the wave of emotions that threatened to spill over. The weight of the moment felt heavier than she could have anticipated. It was almost like admitting a betrayal, as if severing a bond she had cherished for so long.
"Woooow, I am happy for you," Yoongi replied, his voice warm and supportive, but confusion flickered across his features. "But why are you crying? Isn't that good? You've found your happy ending."
"Yes, I am happy," Yuri managed between hiccuping breaths, a weak chuckle escaping her lips. "But I couldn't help myself. It's like breaking up with you." The laugh that followed was laced with sadness; it felt like a jarring jolt in a world she had clung to for years.
"Why? Your man doesn't want you to fangirl over K-pop anymore?" Yoongi leaned in, a teasing smile tugging at his lips. "You can still support us in your own little way! You will never forget us, you know. Do you want me to go to your wedding?" His eyes sparkled with mischief, trying his best to lighten the atmosphere.
"Oh no, no, no!" Yuri exclaimed, flustered and waving her hands dismissively. The thought of Yoongi unexpectedly appearing at her wedding made her heart race in a completely different way, and she felt a flush rise to her cheeks. "That's not a good idea."
"Why?" Yoongi sounded genuinely amused, that signature smirk warming the space around them.
"Maybe if you come, our guests will not concentrate on us!" she guffawed, shaking her head as the laughter bubbled up, despite the tears still glistening in her eyes. "And maybe I will run after you and leave my soon-to-be husband at the altar!"
The two of them erupted into laughter, and Yuri could see a couple of other fans nearby peering curiously at them, clearly bewildered by the lighthearted exchange. It felt like a brief respite from the emotional storm raging inside her. That moment, filled with laughter, felt so utterly precious-the best farewell gift she could ask for.
As they both calmed down, the smile on Yoongi's face turned softer, and for a second, the world around them faded. "I get it, though. It's hard to say goodbye," he said, his voice taking on a more serious note. "But just know that BTS will always be a part of your journey, no matter where life leads you."
Yuri nodded, feeling the lump in her throat swell. "I know, but it still hurts to think about it. I've been with you guys through so many ups and downs. Every song, every concert... it's like a chapter of my life I'm closing."
Yoongi leaned closer, his gaze steady and sincere. "Yuri, it's okay to feel this way. But just remember, the moments you've shared with us are irreplaceable, and it's okay to carry those memories with you."
With tears trailing down her cheeks, she finally squeezed out the words, "Thank you for everything, Yoongi. You've made my life so much more colorful."
"Thank you for being such an amazing fan. I'll never forget you either," he said, sincerity evident in his voice.
With a final wave, Yuri turned away, her heart heavy yet strangely free. The fan meet had felt like a chapter of her life capping off, a bittersweet but fitting farewell. As she exited the venue, she forced herself to smile, knowing that moments like these were what made her love for BTS so profound.
Walking home, Yuri felt her heart ache with a kind of loneliness she hadn't anticipated. Each step felt heavier than the last, and she replayed the day in her mind, cherishing the moments they shared even as they brought tears to her eyes. The reality of getting married loomed in the back of her mind, and while she was genuinely thrilled about this new chapter of her life, it was the idea of leaving behind a world she had grown to love so deeply that had her feeling heartbroken.
Later that evening, she found herself in her bedroom, scrolling through old concert photos on her phone. Each image brought back a flood of memories-laughter shared with friends, the excitement that coursed through her veins at every concert, and Yoongi's playful banter that had always made her smile. It was impossible to ignore the impact they had made on her life.
"I'll always have you in my heart," she whispered to the empty room, wiping away her tears. "But I have to make space for my new life." She sighed, feeling the conflicting emotions of joy and sadness swirling within her.
As the night wore on, Yuri made a quiet promise to herself: no matter what, she would continue to support BTS from afar. Even if her heart felt heavy now, she would find a way to carry her love for them into her new beginning. She would attend future concerts and celebrate BTS's milestones, maybe even with her husband by her side, sharing the joy that had initially brought her love for the group into the world.
And with that promise in her heart, Yuri finally drifted off to sleep, knowing that while she was leaving one chapter behind, she was beginning another, filled with love but never forgetting the passion that had shaped her life for so long.
