War of Hormone | BTS

Oakland

And then, two months later, they were having their concert in the Bay Area. Things were still slightly awkward between some members, but Aerum tried to ignore it.

She'd push through and keep her head up, even if she wanted to look down sometimes. Her parents lived in the Bay Area, so she wanted time to visit them, but she wouldn't get much time.

And surely enough, it was time for her solo performance. Unlike her solo song from the Wings album, her solo song for the Love Yourself album was about not caring about what people thought.

But, in reality, she did care about what they thought of her. However, she was trying to love herself and teach others to do the same. If she couldn't help herself, she'd love to help others instead.

"Thank you for coming, ARMY!" Aerum greeted after her song. "Running on a tight schedule, but I'd just live to quickly thank all of you for sticking by me and the boys! And if you don't like me - " she lifted her microphone out.

"Then, don't listen to me!" ARMY shouted.

"That's right!" Aerum shouted. "Next up is Yoongs's song, so make sure to give him lots of love!"

Aerum quickly disappeared as the stage went back underneath. Jin and Hoseok greeted her, happily clapping her back.

"Your parents would be proud," Hoseok said with a smile.

Aerum smiled. "Thank you, Hoseok. I wish they were here, but they don't like loud noises. They're old, after all - just like Jin."

"This was supposed to be a heartfelt moment," Jin said. "Why do you and Jungkook always insult me?"

"Because we're twins."

"Noona, can you help me change?" Jungkook called out. "The zipper is stuck."

"I'm coming," Aerum said.

The two were better now. After the group discussion, they talked alone for hours. They worked out some differences and tried to repair what they once had.

Aerum's life was coming back together.
