Young Forever (BTS)

"The curtain falls and I'm out of breath

I get mixed feelings as I breathe out

Did I make any mistakes today

How did the audience seem

I'm happy with who I've become

That I can make someone scream with joy

Still excited from the performance"

It really was a blessing, he knew. Not everybody could get that feeling in their lives. He was happy with who he had become. He had fulfilled his dream, something most people weren't able to do. Did he make any mistakes today? Yes, he forgot some of the lyrics to one song and turned his head the wrong way in a choreography. But it was okay. Everything was okay. It was in the past, he couldn't change it no matter how much he tried. The fans looked excited, their smiles reaching their eyes, faces beaming with joy. He heard their screams even now as they left the stadium. They were still excited from the performance. Seeing them, he was too.

"I stand on the empty stage while holding onto an aftertaste that will not linger for long

While standing on this empty stage, I become afraid of this unpleasant emptiness

Within my suffocating feelings

On top of my life's line

Without a reason, I forcibly act that I am fine

This isn't the first time, I better get used to it

I try to hide it, but I can't

When the heat of the show cools down

I leave the empty seats behind"

Staring at himself, he realized he didn't look happy. He didn't look happy, he wasn't happy. The uneasy feeling in his chest made it hard for him to breathe properly. One of the others looked at him as if to ask if he was okay, and he nodded, forcing a smile onto his face. He was fine. This wasn't the first time he had felt this way, he had gotten used to it. His heart caught in his chest when he stepped out into the empty stage. The fans had left. It was just him, alone, shaking from the silence that hadn't been there only a few moments earlier. He couldn't hide his fears. He couldn't do it. Someone called his name; it was time to leave. The heat of the show had cooled down and he left the empty seats behind.

Min Yoongi.

"Trying to comfort myself

I tell myself the world can't be perfect

I start to let myself go

The thundering applause, I can't own it forever

I tell myself, so shameless

Raise your voice higher

Even if the attention isn't forever, I'll keep singing

As today's me, I want eternity

Forever, I want to be young"

The sounds of the car had lulled the others to sleep. The car ride was long. He couldn't sleep. The things he had seen and heard today played in his mind. The thundering applause, the attention, the fans, he felt selfish to say that he craved them. He wanted to hear them forever. So shameless, he told himself to raise his voice higher, to really live and feel the moment. The euphoric feelings he felt now wouldn't last forever. The thundering applause wouldn't be his forever. It would move on. But he would never move on. Trying to comfort himself, he told himself that the world couldn't be perfect. Even if the attention wasn't forever, he would keep singing. The conflict enveloped him. He wanted eternity; he wanted to be young forever.
