The Bangtan Chatroom [THE BTS CHATFIC]

3. Min Yoongi

Yoongi's POV:

I opened my eyes, my breath hitching as the darkness around me swallowed every trace of light. I wasn't alone. In front of me stood a figure I recognized instantly—Chris. My childhood friend. My heart twisted as memories of him resurfaced like flashes of an old, grainy film.

But something was wrong. His expression was twisted with rage, his hand gripping a knife glinting faintly in the shadows. Then I saw it—blood. It coated my hands, my clothes, pooling beneath me. A sharp, searing pain coursed through my body, and I stumbled backward.

Chris's voice sliced through the eerie silence, raw and venomous. "Yoongi, because of you, people think I'm a failure! Because of you, they call me worthless!" He took a step closer, his words punctuated with fury. "Do you think I'm bad, Yoongi? The world made me this way! Turned me into an addict, a mess!"

His voice cracked, desperation bleeding through his anger. "You were supposed to be my friend! Please... tell them I'm not like this!" His expression darkened suddenly, his lips curling into a bitter snarl. "But you didn't, did you? Now, I'll make sure you pay for it."

Before I could respond, the knife slashed through the air, and my body screamed with pain.

"AHHHH!" I jolted awake, drenched in sweat, my chest heaving. My hand instinctively clutched my side where the phantom pain lingered. A nightmare. Just a nightmare. But the vividness of it left me shaken to the core.

I sighed and dragged myself to the washroom. The icy water from the shower cascaded down my back, but it did little to wash away the chill that clung to my soul.

Seven years. It had been seven years since I last dreamt of him. Why now? Why like this?

I pulled on a clean shirt and sat down at my desk, hoping to drown myself in work. As I opened my laptop, my mind wandered back to Chris. My childhood friend who once shared my dreams.

Back then, we were inseparable. Two kids from Daegu with big dreams of becoming the best producers and rappers the world had ever seen. But life had other plans. I joined BigHit as a trainee when I was 14, while Chris... drifted away.

I still remember the day I saw him spiraling downward—a cigarette in one hand, his other clenched into a fist as he hit a younger kid. I had followed him that day, desperate for an explanation. When I confronted him, his words gutted me.

"You've got your fancy producer life now. Leave me the hell alone," he sneered, his voice laced with bitterness. "We're not friends anymore, Yoongi. Stop sending me those shitty letters."

That night, I sat under a tree, my chest hollow with betrayal. Tears streamed down my face as I let go of the one person I thought would always stand by me.

Four years later, I heard the news. Chris was gone. Beaten to death in a senseless fight he had started. At 18, his life ended, snuffed out by the same darkness that had consumed him. I wept for him—for the friend I had lost to the world's cruelty.

But even now, I couldn't escape him. The nightmares brought him back, each time more vivid, more haunting. And tonight's dream was the worst of them all.

As I sat there, staring blankly at my inbox, something caught my eye. A flyer, lying haphazardly on my welcome mat. I picked it up, intending to toss it into the trash, but the bold letters on the front stopped me.

It said the following:

As you can see already, I took a little inspiration from his song- 'Dear my friend' where he spoke about his friend I won't say much so go and check that song out.
It is one of his gems.
