What V stands for | VHope | ✓

Prologue

Hello. How are you? Can I speak informally with you? Good. It'll be easier for me to tell you my story. Do I need to introduce myself? I better do it. Okay. So, my name is Kim Taehyung and I was born on December 30th, 1995. I belong to a 7-member South Korean group called Bangtan Sonyeondan, or BTS for short. And my stage name is V. Yes, just a letter. And I picked it because it stands for victory.

The letter v is in victory, in valuable, in voice and a bunch of other words, including vinegary... Which is a synonymous for sad. And this is how I feel: sad. Why? I'll tell you. I'm in love with someone. Who? Well... That's the problem. I'm in love with someone I shouldn't be in love for. It's one of my brothers... The none blood-related brothers... Okay, it's one of the members of the group I'm in! I keep telling myself «You can't! », but it seems that the information doesn't pass through...

We know each other for years. We get along since we met, even before debut. We are brothers. And those three words together were fine for me, until I realized I couldn't bear earing them together again. Only one person knows my secret, no one else. Only Jimin-ssi knows, and he only knows because he squeezed the truth out of my mouth. I tried my best to hid this, but Jimin-ssi knows me too well... That tiny cinnamon roll... He tries to encourage me to tell the truth, but he also knows that if I do that, I can fuck everything up. So, I shut the fuck up!

But the urge to speak up is growing more and more each day to the point I can't spend my time and fully enjoy what I'm doing. I can forget about it for some time, but subconsciously I never forget. That's why now, V stands not for victory but for vinegary.

And the member I'm in love for? Well... That's the sunshine itself: Jung Hoseok.
