Growing Up

Adulthood

It is a fact that Seokjin is the oldest among the seven boys. He is at the point of his life where pranks doesn't really amused him anymore. He rather choose working on his clinic than playing with the others. Don't get it wrong, he loves his friends but he also know how society goes. He knows how things works and he mastered how to deal with it. It is obvious that being reckless and carefree is not his thing anymore.

Being the second oldest, Yoongi tolerates his dongsaengs. He would let Jimin borrow his laptop if the oldest maknae is bored, he would lower his voice to comfort Taehyung if he misses home, he would buy food for Jungkook if he have exams to cheer on him. He would listen to Hoseok's chats even if it doesn't concern him, he would lend a hand to Namjoon when he needs help in his mixtapes. But he is still an adult and jumping around and going into sudden roadtrips drained his energy.

Namjoon is carrying his family in his shoulder. He have a sister going in college and he is working his ass off for his family. Having 3 unregular part time jobs in gas station, in a hotel and in a company it is definetly hard for him to catch up to others. Plus he is still pursuing his dream to become a rapper. He even gave up school. Knowing how things flow is both an advantage and disadvantage for him. At such a young age, his eyes are wide open in things happening in his surrounding.

Hoseok, much like Namjoon, is carrying his family in a different way. His mother pleaded him to go to college and stop the things he is doing underground. He is, somehow, forced to mature for the sake of his parents and his older sister who is working for them. "Have shame." As they say. The man is the one who need to earn money and not the woman. For his family, just his family, he rarely go out and always at school or in home--studying.

Youth In Bloom. The best experience we can get in our life-- our most beautiful moments. Youth is a mystery. Even with the people whose in this phase of their life right now. You wouldn't know how would you feel with every single criticism this society gives you. Should you take it as a challenge? Or is it a sign that it's time to give up? You want to be independent but you still want attention. Youth is full of secretes that wants to be revealed at the same time hidden. It wants to be revealed so the others will know. It wants to be hidden because of the fear of rejection, criticism and not being good enough. Youth is something we couldn't understand. Just like the people whose experiencing this phase right now. No one can understand our thoughts. No one will care to understand nor listen to any of them.

"We are being misunderstood. They expect us to act like a grown up but they also treat us as kids." -Youth
