Blood, Sweat & Tears  -BTS

  (white violet - Let's Take a Chance on Happiness) 

They are celebrating their sixth anniversary. BTS has become bigger, it has become better since their fourth anniversary two years ago. They even won the Daesang award this year. They are all feeling on top of the world. Coming not from the top tier, they have made it so far. They have made it so big. It leaves them giddy. They are ecstatic. At the moment, they are in Jeju Island because they have to fly over to Tokyo for Nippon TV's broadcast within three days and then, have to attend KCON France and fly back immediately for Inkiyago as Seokjin and Hoseok are the Special MCs. Hence, they do not wish to go abroad at the moment. Their schedules are packed now with their group and individual schedules. Mostly they attend interviews and variety shows. In the case of Soekjin and Taehyung, they are also acting, being part of movies and dramas. Both of them have starred in dramas though it is also Taehyung who so far has had the main role (even if it was just a mini webseries). Jungkook, instead, has played a supporting cast in a star ensemble movie and in general, has stayed away from acting. Yoongi and Jimin have been casted in other idols' music videos. Both Hoseok and Jimin have also participated in idol dance-based shows. Namjoon has walked the ramp for two designers. Both Yoongi and Namjoon have appeared on fashion magazine covers separately and it's also an achievement to him. They have collaborated with a few artists. Like, Namjoon has produced songs for Homme and artists from other labels. Yoongi has written lyrics for two solo artists. He is always indebted to Bang PD for being so flexible and letting them do what they wish to and has appeared on one variety show himself.

As BTS, they have gone on a World Tour now with four full studio albums behind them. They have formed sub units. Yoongi and Jimin forming one. They are a fixed unit. Taehyung and Jungkook in another one. Although, some of the songs in their mini albums had Taehyung perform with Hoseok and Jungkook with Namjoon. Seokjin being the only one to have a unit with no fixation. Though usually, it features the two rappers - Hoseok and Namjoon. Yoongi's twenty seven now and both Seokjin and he have enlisted for the mandatory army thing. They'll be leaving in November. The plan is when the two years thing is over, Hoseok and Namjoon will follow, so that, at one given point, not all of them have to leave. Their contract with BigHit will be ending in almost five years time. So, in case, they don't renew their contract (which is quite possible because four of them will have turned thirty and might want to pursue their other dreams) they can promote one last time as a group, as BTS, in the last six months or, so they have estimated that will be left with them once Namjoon and Hoseok return. They are going to use this time for more of the sub unit promotions and solo schedules and hence, they are concentrating on group activities at the moment and Yoongi doesn't mind them in the slightest. He never has. The Daesang award has opened doors to several other shows. The more they are featured in different types of broadcast, the more exposure they get. The more positive reaction they get. The more fans they get. Some of them have had incidents with sasaengs but, they have swept them under the carpets. The crowds waiting for them at the airports get larger, the fans following them even more. More and more cameras snapping away, leaving behind an evidence of their every day activities.

In these two years, a lot of things have changed. Like, Jimin, sweet and zealous Park Jimin has started dating girls officially. Two of them so far acknowledged in the media. They broke up amicably too. No one can stay angry with the singer after all and all is great. Hoseok hasn't publicly announced anything although the BTS members know all about it. He is dating an ex-girl group idol from another label and it's all very hush-hush. Or, at least, it's supposed to be? Because his friend always seems to not want to talk about it, locking his phone's screen as soon as it is in the visible distance. He is a little more quiet, not his usual vibrant self but Yoongi understands that the idol life is a taxing one (given he himself is an idol) and a relationship on top of that can be draining the energy. But then, he is always talking about where all they went, what all they did. Yoongi doesn't get the secretive-mode his friend Hobi sometimes slips into. Hoseok and Jimin are the only two members to be in a proper relationship. Seokjin is in a stable phase of his pre-relationship stage and doesn't seem to want to pursue anything further saying he has a lot of time. His not-girlfriend is perfectly happy with it too. She is a family friend and has known Seokjin longer than the boys. Namjoon.. it has always been a lot harder to say anything about the leader. That's one person Yoongi cannot easily read and he guesses, that's just as well. That mysterious air, for a lack of a better phrase, is what makes Namjoon a better leader; a leader Yoongi can accept despite the fact that the tall rapper is his dongsaeng. A dongsaeng he can respect and expect to lead him and the younger boys. The leader and his protege, Jeon Jungkook are two people of BTS who go out on secret dates and then come back several hours later, cheerful and stress free and they all get to know they have gotten laid. Given their tight, packed schedule, it's far and in between though. Yoongi, in fact, is the only one single, virgin and doesn't go out on dates. He hasn't come out to his group mates still. He guesses Hoseok and Jimin have figured it out. Nevertheless, he managed to find himself in an article of a Pann post saying that he was seen on a date with this actress in this place at this time and BigHit has to officially give a statement on how farcical the news article is. Yoongi was there with the said actress at that place at the very hour stated but, they weren't out on a date. They met by chance and Yoongi was just helping her escape from some sasaengs. There were also a few ARMYs around who spotted him and started following him. That's all it was but,
