Folding it into a small rectangle. Placing it in his pocket.

The members were back at the dorm. All about to fall asleep. Changed to their pajamas. Jimin sat on his bed. Fiddling with the paper in his hands. Trying to make up questions. It was getting late, Taehyung will fall asleep before he could talk to him. Jimin made his way to the member's room.

Taehyung was changed into his dark blue silk pajamas. Holding the white note. Reading the words written on the small paper. He can't help but replay that moment.

The amount of hatred her eyes held as she ripped the album in front of him. He let out a sigh.

Leave bangtan and die. You are dragging them by existing.

He looked at himself. Wondering where he lacked. The words of the person dragged him down so much. Weighing him down by the shoulders. He felt like he was drowning in quicksand. Slowly sinking and unable to get out.

Knock knock

Taehyung stuff the paper under his pillowcase. The door opened. Jimin entering the room with a small smile on his face.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Taehyung asked. Jimin let out a sigh. Plopping on his bed and rolling to the other side of the bed. Taehyung went under the covers. Looking at Jimin with full curiosity on why he entered his room in the middle of the night.

"I just wanted to talk," Jimin said. Laying down. Taehyung followed along. Both boys were quiet on the bed. Looking at the same boring white ceiling.

"How was the fan meeting?" Jimin suddenly asked. Taehyung forced out a smile.

"It was good, they were sweet. Why?" Taehyung replied. Feeling more pressure on his shoulders.

"You didn't seem to well backstage. I was a little worried." Jimin replied. Taehyung nodded. Jimin sat up.

"If anything happened to you. Know that you can talk to me. Okay?" Jimin said. Taehyung nodded.

"I know. I trust you Jimin." Taehyung muttered. Jimin smiled softly. Ruffling his hair. Jimin got off the bed. Deciding that maybe he was actually okay.

Maybe the ripped page from the album didn't bother Taehyung as much as he thought it did.

"I'll get going then. Goodnight" Jimin said. Waving the member goodbye.

Next day...

Taehyung received more mail. The members would tease him and told him he was lucky but he was scared to open them. He forced out a smile and went up to his room. He read the letters. Some were sweet and cute until he got to the bad ones. It was as if a group of people is doing these. He placed them in the box under his bed.

The white paper he stuff under his pillow was no longer there. He panicked. Searching for it but immediately stopped when Jin came in.

"You ready for practice?" Jin asked. Taehyung nodded.

"I'll get ready. see you downstairs." Taehyung said. He looked for more but it was nowhere. He pushed it off. It may be gone but it won't leave the room. Taehyung shut the box and placed it back under his bed.

The notes were getting increasingly worse. Some mentioning his upcoming concert. Describing in detail how they were going to hurt him.

Concert Day

Taehyung woke up that day. Feeling uneasy and tired. Anxiousness dripping off him. He woke up with tears rolling down his face. Having a bad dream.

The members had breakfast. He had a couple of bites before giving up on eating. His stomach not feeling so good.

"You don't want to eat anymore?" Jin asked. Scooping a bowl of the kimchi stew they were having.

"My stomach doesn't feel so good," Taehyung responded. Jin nodded. Leaving the member be. The boys got ready and made their way to the stadium for their concert.

The other members were getting their makeup ready. Taehyung was leaning against a wall. Anxiously playing with his fingers. Jungkook smiled softly.

"Boo!" He scared the member. Taehyung flinched making Jungkook laugh. Taehyung gulped deeply. His hands now visibly shaking. Eyes watering. Chest rising up and down in a rapid but shaky manner.

Jungkook stopped laughing. His expression became worried now. He immediately wrapped his arm around Taehyung. Patting his back.

"You alright?" Jungkook asked quietly. Taehyung shook his head. Unable to move from his spot. Jungkook pulled him into a quick hug.

"Sorry, I was joking. Wait here." Jungkook spoke. Taehyung hands were still shaking. But couldn't move from his spot. Tears already running down his face. He was terrified.

Jungkook came with a chair. Jimin and Yoongi following him but stood further away.

"Here, sit," Jungkook said. Taehyung sat on the chair. Letting out a heavy sigh. Placing his hands on his neck. Stressed out. Jungkook passed him a bottle of water.

"You didn't feel good because you were anxious am I right?" Jungkook asked. He kneeled in front of the member. Trying to ensure he was alright. Taehyung nodded. Taking a small sip of water.

"Do you tranquilizers?" Taehyung asked in a hoarse voice.

"Yeah, I'll go get them," Jungkook said. Standing up and leaving to get his bag. Jimin and Yoongi watched from afar.

"Did you talk to him?" Yoongi whispered. Jimin nodded.

"I didn't mention the ripped page of the album though. He didn't seem too bothered about it so I thought bringing it up could make things go wrong." Jimin explained.

"Look at him, I don't think he looks okay at all. This is the second time I've seen him like this. The first time was when he got sick." Yoongi spoke. Jimin nodded.

"If things get out of hand, I'll talk to him but now, let's wait it out," Jimin said.

"Okay, but don't drag it for too long. I don't want things to go over the extent." Yoongi said. Going back into the room. Jungkook left with the tranquilizers.

Taehyung ate it with a big gulp of water. Passing Jungkook the water before wiping his mouth. Jungkook using his sleeves to wipe off the tear marks from the crying.

"Do I look okay?" Taehyung asked out of nowhere. He tried his best to get the words from the notes out of his head. Telling himself that it was just a sign to not slack off.

But at that moment, he couldn't find any positivity from it.

"You look fine, why?" Jungkook asked. Taehyung shook his head. "Nothing" he muttered.

"Taehyung...?" Their makeup artist called him. Taehyung looked up.

"Yes?" Taehyung responded.

"I need to do some touch-up before getting your hair done. Hurry." She said. Taehyung stood up. Trailing behind the makeup artist. Letting her drag him to where he should be.

A good 20 minutes passed and the members were finally done with their makeup. Now all of them messing around and relaxing before the show starts.

"5 minutes left~" they heard. The boys placed their phones down. Warming up. Hydrating themselves.

"Let's do the cheer before our stage," Namjoon said. Gathering the members.

"Bangtan! Bang Bangtan!"
