5 YEARS LATER

"BTS has now became even more sensational as their latest video 'IDOL' achieved 56.2M views on it's first 24 hours!"

As Jimin read the headline of the news out loud, Jin gasped loudly in response.

It was early in the night and BTS has no more schedule for that day. And Jimin, as sweet and clingy as ever, he entered to Jin's room to cuddle with him. It's one of Jimin's personalities and the members were used to him doing those sweet things.

Moreover, it's been a week since they released their newest album. Love Yourself: Answer and up until today, they don't have any single clue about what's happening around the world. Sure, they posted some selcas on their SNS account, but they don't took much time to even know what was ARMY's reactions at the moment.

"Wow! ARMYs really did it! Woah!... They're so awesome! How did they even do that?!" Jim blurted out.

Jimin replied with no answer. He continued scrolling down to his phone. "BTS currently slays the world as they ranked #1 on six Billboard Charts: Billboard 200, Artist 100, Social 50, World Albums, Digital Song Sales and World Digital Song Sales," he read the headline of the news out loud again, making Jin freaked out. He maybe was so surprised of what they had just achieved.

"Chim. Our fans are very hardworking! They did everything just to make us #1 on those 6 big charts! They are the sweetest people in the universe!" Jin exclaimed with full of pure excitement.

Jimin nodded. As he was about to reply, Jin cut him off with a single word that seemed like a command. "Wait!"

"What is it?" Jimin asked questioningly.

"Did you just said #1? In Billboard 200?" Jin asked as his eyes formed into a circular form, realizing something.

Jimin nodded again.

"Oh my God! ARMYs really did it this time! Two #1's on consecutive comebacks? First, it's TEAR, now the ANSWER. Woah! That's so amazing!" Jin said in awe. "Where's my phone? I'll gonna retweet it in our twitter account," he continued.

He traced the table beside his bed to know if his phone was placed there and it was there indeed. He quickly get it and typed something. After a few seconds, he turned off his phone, proving that he already retweeted what he was supposed to retweet. It wasn't even hard to do that because people kept mentioning and tagging them so informations or news related to them were not hard to find.

"Chim. I'm hungry. Can you go with me at the nearest convenient store?" Jin asked.

Jimin nodded and smiled sweetly, showing his visible eye smiles that could easily captivate a woman even in late 90's. "Of course, hyung!" He replied as he turned off his phone and slid to his pocket.

Meanwhile, in Namjoon's room, Yoongi can be found laying on Namjoon's bed, having a cellphone in his hand. While the owner in the room can be found in his working table, typing something on his laptop. They weren't typing or making any lyrics for the next song for the next album or anything because they weren't in the good mood to the do that. One fact that could be true. They were tired obviously from the ongoing concert and some promotions they just had in the past week.

"Hey namjoon," Yoongi uncharacteristically called Namjoon who swung his head automatically in response. Yoongi still staring on his phone. "Have you read the news? Its buzzing the whole week now."

"About us? No. I just heard a little in the company when they were watching the news," Namjoon replied innocently.

"So, have you heard that we topped #11 on Hot 100?"

Namjoon widened his eyes involuntarily. "붜라고? Again? Woah!" He said in awe.

[REVIEW: 'Bworago' means 'what did you say?']

Yoongi remained laying on the bed. "Yup. ARMYs has done it again and I had no idea that we were so big now. We charted at Hot 100 for two consecutive comeback! That is so AMAZING!" Yoongi continued, emphasizing the last word of his sentence.

"If we were THAT big then it means, ARMY fandom is getting bigger and bigger too as we speak so no wonder we broke records and charted at those big charts, right?"

"You're right. We should work hard so that we can give them what they deserved. They made us what we are now."

"Yes. Without them, I think we couldn't even get a daesang," Namjoon replied then sighed after. "Teamwork really makes the dream work."

Taehyung, who was laying on his bed, was reading a comic book. More specifically, a japanese manga book. He's fond of it and it never stopped amusing him.

For the past five years, his desires to fires has been minimized that he went to his therapy atleast 1 session in 5 months. Its a good thing too. Atleast now, he can finally control his illness and its making him less problematic. If he's having a hard time, he'll just gonna pull out his phone and watch a burning fire through the internet.

A notification from his phone stopped him from reading. It was from his fan SNS account. He made his own fan account so that he could see some of ARMY's reaction, goals, theories, everything that's related to them. Jungkook made one too.

He viewed the notification and he found out that someone just tagged him from the comment section. Of course, its coming from an ARMY.

He read the text on his mind.

It said, Can you antis stop slandering our Tae Tae? Yes, he maybe an arsonist before but that was BEFORE! Besides, he has pyromania at that time! Stop it! Y'all such hypocrites!

They really defended me, Taehyung said on his mind. He retweeted the tweet immediately.

I can't believe it. With all these years, ARMYs are still by our side, by my side to protect me from the antis. Even though they knew I had pyromania but still, they accepted me from who I am. Thank you for everything ARMYs. For loving us. For loving me.
