As the days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, the rift between the members of Blackpink had deepened, leaving BTS as the only bridge between their elder sisters. For an entire year, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa had not spoken to each other nor even looked each other in the eye, their once vibrant home now quiet and heavy with unspoken tensions.

BTS, in their roles as younger brothers and caretakers, had borne witness to the pain and sorrow that lingered in the wake of their sisters' fractured relationships. They continued to support Blackpink individually, becoming the conduits through which messages and concerns were relayed between them.

In their whispered conversations, BTS members shared their worries, hopes, and frustrations with each other. They agonized over the distance that had grown between their elder sisters, grappling with their own sense of helplessness in the face of such deep-seated conflict.

RM, ever the thoughtful leader, often initiated these discussions. "I wish there was more we could do," he confessed quietly one evening, his expression reflecting the weight of their shared burden.

Jin, known for his nurturing spirit, sighed deeply. "It's heartbreaking to see them like this," he admitted, his voice tinged with sadness.

Suga, pragmatic as always, offered a perspective. "Maybe they just need more time," he suggested, though uncertainty colored his words.

J-Hope, with his boundless optimism, tried to remain hopeful. "They love each other. I believe they'll find their way back," he reassured them, his voice carrying conviction.

Jimin, sensitive to the emotional undercurrents, expressed his concern. "Do you think they'll ever be able to forgive each other?" he wondered aloud, his gaze troubled.

V, with his deep understanding of human emotions, nodded thoughtfully. "It's hard, but we have to believe in them," he said softly, his words a quiet affirmation of faith.

Jungkook, the youngest but perceptive beyond his years, listened intently. "We can't force them, but we can keep reminding them that we're here," he concluded, his voice steady with determination.

As the months passed, BTS continued to offer their support and encouragement to Blackpink, navigating the delicate balance of being both siblings and mediators. They celebrated birthdays, milestones, and holidays together, cherishing the moments of togetherness while silently hoping for reconciliation among their elder sisters.

One evening, on the eve of the one-year mark since their last conversation, BTS found themselves gathered in the living room. The atmosphere was somber, the weight of the past year palpable in the air.

RM spoke first, his voice filled with empathy. "It's been a difficult year for all of us," he acknowledged, his gaze shifting to each member of BTS.

Jin nodded in agreement. "But we've stayed strong together," he added, his tone filled with pride for his brothers.

Suga reflected quietly. "We've seen them struggle, but we've also seen them grow," he remarked, his voice tinged with hope.

J-Hope's optimism shone through. "They're stronger than they know," he said with conviction, his words a testament to his faith in their elder sisters.

Jimin's empathy was palpable. "I believe they'll find their way back to each other," he said softly, his voice filled with quiet determination.

V's sincerity touched their hearts. "No matter what happens, we'll always be here for them," he assured them, his words a vow of unwavering support.

Jungkook, wise beyond his years, summed it up. "Let's keep believing in them," he urged, his voice steady with resolve.

As BTS whispered their hopes and fears to each other, their thoughts turned to their elder sisters. They wondered if this silent year had brought them closer to reconciliation or if it had driven them further apart. They hoped and prayed that their love for each other would prevail, even in the face of such profound silence.
