Just A Few Numbers Away

Chapter 150

The Anchor and the Storm

The internet had not calmed down in weeks.

​If anything, the digital world was in a permanent state of glorious, hyperventilating overdrive.

The official wedding portrait dropped on BTS's main Twitter account-featuring Yoongi and Aen flanked by Bang PD and all the smiling, sharp-suited members-had instantly shattered records, trending worldwide as millions of fans celebrated the official, public culmination of a love story they had watched unfold in fragments.

​Soon after, timelines were flooded not just by fans, but by a cascade of behind-the-scenes wedding photos shared by fellow celebrities, close friends, families and the members themselves, all using #YOONGIGotHisAENswer to give glimpses of the celebration that day from inside the room.

Across social media, hashtags like #MinYoongiMarried, #OurYoongi, #YOONGIGotHisAENswer and #MinFamily completely dominated the global top spots.

Fan edits, tearful appreciation threads praising how radiant Aen looked, and screenshots of Bang PD standing proudly beside them flooded timelines by the millions.

Meanwhile, Yoongi's personal Instagram feed offered a stark, beautiful contrast: a quiet, intimate reel of their domestic life together.

The comment section was strictly locked to the general public, but it was overflowing with teasing, affectionate remarks from the members who followed him, turning a private sanctuary into a public display of unbreakable brotherhood.

​@jin.bts: Who taught you how to frame a video like a cinematic film artist? You're welcome for all my mentoring.

​@agustd: @jin.bts hyung just go finish your green onion kimchi delivery.

​@uarmyhope: My eyes are blessed. Congratulations again, hyung! 😭🤍

​@rkive: Look at that domestic king. Take care of our Aen well, hyung.

​@j.m: hyung i'm crying ?? Carly's giggles are so cute. Can I kidnap her for a day ???

​@thv: can i come over for breakfast tomorrow or is it members-only offline too 🥲

​@abcdefghi__lmnopqrstuvwxyz: congrats hyung!! uncle jungkook reporting for duty 🐰🍼

Naturally, the public side of the internet wasn't nearly as well-behaved.

Because the video was artfully shot and kept things intentionally soft and blurry, it immediately sparked a wildfire of speculation across forums and comment threads.

Armchair detectives zoomed in on every frame, trying to decode how far along she actually was, with viral TikToks breaking down shadow angles and coffee cup placements while mainstream entertainment outlets debated timelines.

But inside the Min household, the digital noise was entirely muted-ignored in favor of the quiet reality waiting for them outside.

​Aen stood in front of the mirror, smoothing down the fabric of a soft, oversized cashmere coat.

At nine weeks pregnant, there was still no baby bump to speak of-just a subtle, internal shift and the familiar, gentle fatigue that came with the early stages.

But her focus wasn't on herself today.

Her gaze drifted to Yoongi, who was already dressed, standing near the doorway with a quiet, heavy gravity settling over his shoulders.

She knew how important today is.

​But looking at the tight set of his jaw, she also knew it wasn't just about the looming crowd outside the camp he is worried; it was the protective instinct clawing at him, about what the media frenzy might subject her to out there in the open.
