After their album with Criss was a huge success, they promised their fans, that they would do more collabs. But, as the proverb goes, 'all good things doesn't last forever! ' . It was time for Jin to join the army. But, since they helped South Korea 's economy in so many ways, they were given an exception, that all the members can join the army at the same time. They will return after 2 years. Army, was greatly depressed when they heard this news. But, they were also glad, that all of them can join the army at the same time, and they didn't had to wait too much, if it was done in the normal way.
The last concert BTS did was really emotional, since after a few days, they were supposed to join the Army. 'Remember to Love Yourself Army! No matter that we are gone, we will always remain in your hearts. And that's all we are asking for. You guys made me love myself, and I will be, no, we will be forever grateful to you! ' this was what RM said at their last concert. All the members cried so much that day. They were gonna miss their Army so much. They were also gonna miss their friends and family very much too. But, it was said they wouldn't come back as BTS after coming back from Army. Since it is so rare, and they won't be young like before, and couldn't perform well like before. And people even moved on from BTS to other younger groups, like TXT, etc.
Criss called them on facetime just before the day they left for Army. She was really sad too. 'Guys, why do you wanna join the army? It was optional for you guys right? Still why do you wanna do this? ' she was on the verge of tearing up. Her voice was cracking up. She didn't look them in their faces, she looked down, so that they wouldn't see her crying eyes. They understood that she was crying. 'Hey, look at us.. ' she heard J Hope tell her. She obeyed him, and looked up. She had gone all red, since she was crying hard. 'Oh god, baby! Please don't cry! We will come back ok! Don't be upset... ' Jin said trying to soothe her. She silently nodded her head. She didn't say anything. She wanted to, but she just couldn't. If she would open her mouth, no words would come out. She told them a last goodbye, and also asked them to take care of themselves, since she wanted all her brothers back after 2 years. It was allowed to write letters for people in army. She told them, that she would write them letters, and she wanted another collab with them after they come back. They laughed when suddenly she said that. She smiled back at them. ' It's ok kiddo. We're gonna be alright. Don't worry too much. And, if I miss you, I'm having something of yours, that's gonna remind me of you', Tae said taking out the bandana which she left, from his pocket. She felt her eyes welling up again. She's gonna miss them terribly. They are gonna miss her terribly too. They decided to hang up, since they had to get up early next day.

Time skip after 2 years

Criss had a lot of professional development since the last two years. She was 23. But, she was not that happy with her life much. She missed the boys really very much. She used write them letters. She wasn't sure if they got them, but before sending them, she used to take their pictures. She used to write it in Korean, that everyone would understand it without any translator. She released many albums, and most of them were great successes. She even got in the list of 'the most richest musician under 30 list'. But nothing could fill the hole that was created by BTS. She used to listen to their songs each day before bed. She thought it would it would make her miss them less, but it only made her miss them much more.
She thought about the days when she went for the tour with them, for the promotion of their album. It was so much fun! Most of the Army said that, she would it would be great if she joined BTS. She was really glad that she got this much support from all over the world. She thought that the Army would be jealous of her relationship with the BTS. But,it was just the opposite. As a parting gift, she gave each of them a locket with their gemstones, it was really beautiful. They loved it. She did too. They gave her a parting gift too. All of them together, gave her a necklace.

She nearly cried, when they her such a beautiful gift. 'I don't know why, but I always get really emotional when guys do something sweet like this'. She said chuckling . They smiled widely, and they shared a long group hug. Those memories still bought tears to her eyes. She still wore that necklace. It didn't matter if it suited her costume, she would change the costume if it didn't match the necklace. She guarded it with her life. It was way too precious for her.
But now, after 2 years, it was time for them to come back. The moment she was waiting for 2 years.

10th February 2024
It was the day they were supposed to return. She wanted to meet them. So bad. But unfortunately she had shoot that day. So she decided to meet them another day. Another sad thing was that, she never told them that they were having less fans now. She knew they wanted to know about their Army. They loved them so much. That's why she hid it from them. Now only true Army was remaining. Most of them thought they were gonna disband anyway, so there was no point in being Army anymore. Their fan base got down to less than 50%. That broke her so much. She couldn't even imagine how they would face the fact. One day they would find it out, and she promised herself that she would be there with them then. Even if they are famous or not, it didn't matter. She would always support them. Forever.

BTS 's POV
We were kind of nervous when we were returning. We didn't know what to expect. Time spend in the army was kind of a new experience. It was tough. Really tough. But, it was also really exciting. We kind of had a feeling that our fan base would not be still there as it was before. We did love them so much, and even though Criss said through her letters that the Army was going well, we had a negative feeling about it. We felt really proud when said about her achievements. Our little sis was really improving in her skills. But, she didn't seem really happy whenever she described bout her achievements. She missed us very much. Wow! She is so sweet!
When we reached the airport, we could hear the cheers of people. When we got out of the plane, we saw a large crowd outside cheering for us, and most of them were crying. Oh god, so sweet. We found out families, waiting for us. We were looking for our Criss, but we didn't find her. When we approached our families, they hugged us with all their heart. When asked about Criss, they said that she had shoot that day, and she would meet them later.

BTS upon reaching their respective houses with their families, were happy, and enjoyed their time with their family. They had some bad news is, that they already knew, like the death of P D Nim. He had Liver Cancer. Now someone else was the Manager of Bighit. Most of them were not pleased by the new manager. He was just the opposite of P D Nim. Unfriendly, rude and egoistic. The other change they noticed once they returned was that, the people were still crazy about them. But individually. They weren't fans of BTS altogether, which was really crazy. Only few were still crazy for BTS. They were really shocked to hear this news. After they had their first live, after returning from army, there were so many request to each of them, to go single. It's like everyone around them really wanted them to go single. Even their management suggested them to go single. They were really confused with all this going on. They didn't know what to do. So, they decided to visit their little sister. Since she is also part of the Army, she might have an opinion about this. They decided to listen to whatever she had to say, and since their relationship with each other were inseparable, even if the world comes to an end, they knew they would support each other, no matter what may be the final decision.
