Two Years before BTS debuting:

A clear string of blue light that was somehow penetrating the worn out glass of the covered window was magically illuminating the dark dusty room where the young trainees were standing. The storage closet was indeed old and unused. It was the perfect place to hide and do mischief. Today's youth was all about drugs and alcohol anyway, always chasing after tempting sins...Which, only left room for one question... were they sinners tonight?

As he took a deep breath, that was surely enough to air his lungs and mind with some sense, the young teen shuffled forward, carefully eyeing the other's response. "This will be our secret." His voice almost coming out as a whisper, yet sufficient for his companion to listen.

The boy anxiously nodded his reply. His gaze an unstable mess of nerves. Should he look down or forward? He wasn't sure. He only knew that tonight will never leave his mind.

Present Time:

Time was such a fickle concept. Changing frequently without anyone's regards. Seasons passed by in a blink of an eye. The days never slowed down for anybody, and the same phenomenon happened with the famous Kpop group BTS. Two months had already went by since the confrontation between Taehyung and the members of the band. After the discussion that led to a somewhat serious encounter, the boys had all sat down to talk about the issue which thankfully concluded with a happy ending.

Tae never did told the truth, of course, but he didn't had to. As long as they were united again as a family, it didn't mattered. The first few days following the dispute had been awkward between  the leader and the young singer. Even though, they had apologized to one another, a bit of tension still hung in the air. Whenever one of the them, suddenly found himself alone in the room with the other, one would always made a cheesy comment or excuse to escape from the company of the latter. Although it hurt, it was necessary for they needed some time in order for their wounds to heal.

As for Min Yoongi, he took it upon himself to watch over the progression of the two, making sure that what happened that night would never repeat itself ever again. And, Jin felt grateful for his guidance. Although, things were a little off between the older rapper and the eldest of the group, Seokjin tolerated the uncomfortable ambience, mostly, because he knew that it had been his fault. It was a guilt that he still secretly carried. Sometimes, he wondered what was so important that Suga wanted to talk about that night. A conversation that never occurred since it all went to hell the moment Tae had snapped, but whatever. Things were resolved.

With the days becoming nights and the nights becoming weeks, everything had slowly gone to normal. All of the boys were back to their usual goofy ways, cuddling here and there, being adorable cotton balls of sunshine. Even Taehyung and Seokjin's secret relationship had been slowly improving. There were still moments where Jin didn't knew how to react, things like kissing or holding hands were just so new to him, but V understood either way. 'Take me slow' had been Jin's exact words, and Tae was more than willing to obey them.

A comeback date had also been announced during that time period and soon after, the trailer or better said, the intro to their new album was sang by none other than Kim Seokjin himself. The fans had been ecstatic. Social media was bursting with nothing, but positive comments towards the group and of course, the oldest member. Jin was praised for his powerful and beautiful vocals, his otherworldly appearance and his talented acting skills. The trailer had been a work of art. The lyrics, his breaths and his looks could all be summarized into three words: beautiful, sensual and sorrowful. It was certainly a strange combination of emotions, but boy, did he pulled it off. The other members clapped when they sat to watch the video together, shouting, cheering and whistling. Only they knew how much their hyung deserved this. It was the long awaited recognition that he craved for, and he was proud that he was able to do it by their side. He was also thankful to their fans that showered him with nothing, but purple love. Jin felt blessed with so much happiness that he only prayed for such euphoria to never end.
