Taehyung sat at his piano, lost in the melody that had been swirling in his mind all day. "Yes, this is it...this is the one," he whispered to himself as his fingers danced across the keys.

As the hours passed, the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the room. "I need to get this chord progression just right," he muttered, his brow furrowed in concentration.

The notes flowed effortlessly, a reflection of his emotions, and the lyrics began to take shape. "Love is a fleeting dream, a moment's beauty, a lifetime's sorrow..."

As the night wore on, the room grew quiet, except for the sound of Taehyung's fingers on the keys. "This is it, this is the hook...this is what will make it unforgettable."

Time lost all meaning as Taehyung became one with his art. The music swelled, a crescendo of emotion, and he knew he had created something special. "Yes, this is it...this is my masterpiece."

Jennie lay in bed, her eyes fixed on the clock as the hours ticked by. She had expected Taehyung to come back and check on her, but as the night wore on, she realized he wasn't coming.

A lump formed in her throat as she felt a mix of emotions: disappointment, hurt, and frustration. She had needed him today, and he hadn't been there for her.

Jennie's eyes welled up with tears as she thought about how she had skipped her schedule for him, but he hadn't even bothered to check on her. She felt like she was always putting his needs before hers, but he never returned the favor.

With a sigh, Jennie rolled over and buried her face in the pillow, trying to hold back tears. She had almost cried herself to sleep when exhaustion finally took over, and she drifted off into a restless slumber, alone in their bed.

Taehyung entered Bang PD's office, excitement radiating from his face. "PD-nim, I've written a new song and I think it's going to be a hit!"

Bang PD looked up from his desk, a hint of disdain in his eyes. "Oh, another one of your 'masterpieces', Taehyung? You know, the other members are also working on solo material. J-Hope has a song ready, Jimin's been experimenting with some interesting sounds, and Jungkook's been writing some catchy hooks."

Taehyung's enthusiasm faltered slightly, but he pressed on. "I think my song is special, It's from the heart."

Bang PD raised an eyebrow. "And what makes you think this one will stand out from the crowd? We can't just release everything that comes our way. We need to prioritize."

Taehyung nodded, sensing the underlying tension. "I understand, But I believe in this song. Can't we at least consider it?"

Bang PD leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers. "I'll listen to it, but like I said, the other members are also waiting in line. We'll have to see which song is the most promising. Play it for me."

Taehyung hesitated, feeling a surge of competition from his fellow members, but he played the demo anyway, hoping his song would shine through.

Bang PD listened to the demo, his expression unreadable. When it finished, he nodded thoughtfully. "It's good, Taehyung. You've definitely got talent."

Taehyung's face lit up with hope. "So, you'll approve it for release?"

Bang PD hesitated, his expression turning skeptical. "I don't know, Taehyung. Your songs are always so...slow and meaningful. They're not exactly what the masses are looking for. I mean, jazz-influenced tracks are niche, at best."

Taehyung's face fell, but he tried to argue. "But that's what makes them special, They're real and honest."

Bang PD shook his head.
"I understand what you're going for, but we need something that will appeal to a wider audience. Something that will chart. Your songs just aren't that."

Taehyung felt a surge of frustration. He knew his music was good, but it seemed like Bang PD was always finding ways to hold him back.

"So, you're saying my music is only good enough for a select few?" He asks.

Bang PD shrugged. "I'm saying that in the current market, your style isn't what's in demand. Maybe try something more...commercial?"

Taehyung's eyes narrowed, his voice taking on a sharp edge. "So, you're saying I should sell out and make some generic, commercial song just to appease the masses? Even if I do that, you'll just find another excuse to hold me back."

Bang PD's expression turned cold, his eyes glinting with warning

"Taehyung, don't cross the line. I'm trying to help you, but you need to be realistic about your place in this industry. Your future, and the future of BTS, is still in my hands."

Taehyung's anger flared, but he bit back his retort, knowing that pushing Bang PD too far could have consequences.

"Fine," he spat, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'll keep that in mind."

Bang PD leaned forward, his voice dripping with condescension. "Good. Remember, Taehyung, I'm the one who can make or break you. Don't forget it."

The air was thick with tension as Taehyung stormed out of the office, feeling trapped and frustrated.

He knew that Bang PD would continue to hold him back, no matter what he did.

The thought burned in his mind like a fire, fueling his determination to find a way to break free from Bang PD's suffocating grip.
