"A love story that shook the whole world."
Falling for the same gender is one thing. Them being in the same boyband is another thing. But coming from a conservative country with millions of fans and a company that restricts dating? Yikes.
One messy...

Music fills the air without effort, like the waves filling holes in beach sand. The sound rushing in and around every person in the stadium. A lively tempo can lift them, elevate the spirit, or move them to dance. Before the notes filled the air, every person was an island and with it, they all feel the same tidal flows.
Standing on stage, Jungkook feels tears forming at the back of his eyes as he takes in the beauty of the ARMY bombs. Together, they look like little constellations spread across the galaxy. To his right, his hyungs are waving their arms and yelling 'thank you' into their microphones. As the concert draws to a close, they huddle closer to hold hands and bow.
Jungkook reaches to his left, expecting to find Jimin's soft hands, but he finds himself grasping at thin air. He cocks in head in confusion and swiftly turns the other side, but Jimin is still nowhere in sight.
"Where's Jimin hyung?" He whispers into Namjoon's ears.
Namjoon turns his head, puzzled, as his eyebrows knit together. "Who?"
Jungkook scoffs. "Hilarious. Where's Jimin hyung?" He repeats, louder this time.
Their exchange has caught the attention of the other members as they sneak a glance to see what's going on.
"Where is Jimin?" Jungkook raises his voice at them.
But all he receives is confused stares. The members chatter among themselves, looking thoroughly confused. They shake their heads at him.
Jungkook feels heat rising up his face. This has to be some kind of a joke. A very sick joke. Not remotely funny.
"Who?" Yoongi asks. Jungkook does a double take. Him, too? Yoongiis the most serious among them all, but even he is playing in on this prank.
"Park Jimin," Jungkook reiterates, trying his best to maintain a calm demeanor. "A BTS member. We JUST performed with him."
Namjoon looks at him as if he's just fell from outer space. "Are you okay...?"
"Yes, I'm okay!" Jungkook snaps. "It's you guys that are—"
"Because there's no Jimin in BTS."
Jungkook's heart drops. Suddenly, everything turns pitch black. Jungkook looks at his confused members. Even though they look the same, it's like he can't recognize them anymore. Hoseok reaches out to touch his arm, but Jungkook yanks it back harshly. He takes several shaky steps back.
"No..." Jungkook mutters. "You're playing with me. You have to be."
"Jungkook-ah," Taehyung says gently. "The audience is waiting—"
"NO!" Jungkook screams, slapping his arm away. "WHERE IS JIMIN?"
He suddenly feels himself falling backwards endlessly, pushed by an unknown force and engulfed in swirls of black ink. The darkness soon washes away and when he opens his eyes again, his vision is hit with blinding white lights.
