Ripple: BTS AU Story ✓

Chapter 24

Hello! We are back with another chapter of Ripple. Just a few more chapters of dreamy nonsense. I'm sorry if it seems like fillers, but these chapter definitely give the boys a chance to remember and lets us all reminisce on some old BTS moments. Now let's get into the chapter!

Yoongi groans as he sits up from his position on the floor. He rubs the back of his head, which has been pressed flat against the hardwood floor. He looks around, taking in his surroundings. He's in a dimly lit room, some light coming from a table in front of him. The room he is in isn't very nice. It's sort of cramped, but has a sort of recognizable feel. It's like he's been here before, but he can't seem to remember ever being here. He slowly pushes himself up from the floor and grumbles a little. Why the hell was he on the floor? Was this some kind of silly prank? He looks around again, trying to find hidden cameras or detect the high pitched giggles of some pranksters. He is unable to locate either of those things and he frowns. He stands up and looks around for the door. His brow furrows when he realizes that there isn't one. He searches throughout his pockets for his phone and groans when he can't find it. Yoongi grumbles and starts to search the room. Eventually, he ends up right in front of the table. There is a desktop screen that is powered on, a mouse, and a keyboard on the wooden table. There is also a black swivel chair stuck under the desk. Yoongi pulls the chair out and plops down onto the seat. He pushes himself closer to the desk and places his hands on the keyboard. He moves the mouse and logs into the computer. He's thankful that there isn't a passcode on it and quickly tries to contact someone to get him out of this room with no door. He clicks onto a browser and frowns when another tab opens up. The tab has audio files in them, seven to be exact. Yoongi moves the mouse towards the first file. He clicks twice and a file starts to play. Voices filter through the room....studio....from speakers that Yoongi can't seem to spot.

He recognizes one of the voices as his own and he seems to be having argument with the owner of the other voice. He hears himself say no in a very annoyed tone. The other person begs him to reconsider. The other lists all the things that he could achieve and how it would be monumental. He hears himself shoot down the other once more. The person doesn't seem to give up, as he keeps on trying to convince him. Yoongi listens and tries to remember if he has ever had this conversation before. He shakes his head, unable to recall ever talking with this person before. He focuses back on the audio. He hears himself agree to something that present him is a hundred percent sure past him is way in over his head about. The clip ends and Yoongi clicks out of it.

He drags the mouse over the next file. He clicks it and waits to hear what this file contains. Music plays from the file with vocals that he can claim as his own. He's rapping, something that he hasn't done since he gave up on that to become a full-time producer. The words are fast and anyone would probably stumble if they had tried to recite it. Yoongi is positive he's never heard the song...rap....whatever this audio thing is before. Yet, he knows the words. "Tongue technology..." He mutters under his breath, as the same words can be heard coming from the audio file. He winces as an image quickly passes his eyes. His brow furrows, he didn't even have time to make out what the image was. He could only say that it sort of looked like him with bleached blond hair on a moving house thing....

Yoongi closes the file and clicks on the next one. These audio files weren't just stupid little recordings. They were important. He doesn't know why, but he knows they are. He has to listen to the rest of them. They would tell him...something. He has no idea what yet, but he is going to figure it out. He's smart. Hell...he's a freaking genius. He could pick apart this puzzle. The audio buffers for a second before strong voices filter through the imaginary speakers. He hears a voice that sounds extremely punchable and his face twitches a little. The voice's words aren't kind and Yoongi clenches his hands into fists. He can almost envision the face of the person saying these mean things. He was speaking to Yoongi and more importantly Yoongi's friend....whatever that friend's name is. He was calling them out on how they're idols and gave up on the rapper scene. Another image flashes through his head, this time for a second longer. He can make out his friend and he can tell that he isn't okay after hearing the words fired at him like bullets. His friend was hurt, but he was trying his hardest not to show it. Yoongi grimaces as his friends tries his best to defend himself. He shakes his head, some people are just cruel for no reason. Yoongi hits the red button, not able to bear hearing the conversation for any longer.
