Chapter 26

~AUGUST 26 ; HOTEL~

After they've arrived at the airport of Japan, they quickly went to the hotel to rest.

"We're here~!"

Exclaimed Jimin as he spread out his arms as they enter the hotel. Suyeon walk towards the reception counter and then after checking in, she walks back at them.

"We booked seven rooms again. Me and Yeonae will share one, like always, and some of you will share a room."

Said Suyeon as she gives the keys to Yeonae.

"Jungkook and I will share!"

Exclaimed Taehyung so suddenly as he places his arm around Jungkook's shoulders while smiling.

"Mwo (What)?"

Asked Jungkook to Taehyung as he looks at him wide confusion on his face. Taehyung pouts, making Jungkook sigh.

"Fine."

Said Jungkook then smiles and blushes subtly.

"Yehey~"

Said Taehyung as he raises his other hand into the air happily.

"Here's the key for your hotel rooms."

Said Suyeon as she took the keys from Yeonae then distribute it to them.

"Are we all in the same floor?"

Asked Jimin to Suyeon as they walk towards the elevator while carrying their own baggage.

"Wae (Why)? You don't want to?"

Asked Yoongi to Jimin as they enter the elevator.

"Aniyo (No). It's not like that."

Answered Jimin to Yoongi's question while pouting.

"Ne (Yes). We're in the same floor."

Answered Suyeon to Jimin's question earlier as she looks at him and smile. Jimin looks at Suyeon then exhale deeply.

"That's a relief."

Said Jimin as he touches his chest.

"Yeonae, are you alright?"

Asked Namjoon to Yeonae with a worried expression on his face.

"M-wo (W-hat)? N-e (Y-es). Y-eah... I'm... I'm fine."

Stuttered Yeonae as she comes back to reality after she stares at the sliding door of the elevator for a while.

"Are you sure?"

Asked Seokjin to Yeonae as he touches her shoulder with a worried expression on his face, too.

"I'm... I'm sure."

Answered Yeonae to Seokjin's question hesitantly and then she smiles at him weakly.

"Did you make another poem?"

Asked Hoseok to Yeonae very softly, afraid to hurt her feelings.

"Aniyo (No)."

Answered Yeonae to Hoseok's question as she looks at him and shake her head while still smiling weakly.

"Wae (Why)?"

Asked Jungkook to Yeonae very softly, too.

"I... uhm... I forgot to make one."

Answered Yeonae to Jungkook's question hesitantly as she looks down the floor.

"Gwaenchanayo (It's alright). We can wait for your next poem."

Said Taehyung to Yeonae as he tries to cheer her up with a cheerful voice. Yeonae suddenly turn around to face Taehyung.

"Gamsahabnida (Thank you)~"

Thanked Yeonae to Taehyung as she bows at him. Then the elevator stops and the door opens.

"Come on. Let's rest for today."

Said Suyeon as she walks out the elevator while carrying her baggage.

"Okay~"

Replied the boys to Suyeon as they follow their Suyeon nuna (older girl/sister *male to female*). As soon as they see their hotel rooms, the boys quickly enter to take a rest. And finally, Suyeon and Yeonae found theirs. Suyeon opens the door and let Yeonae enter first, then she follows and closes the door.

"How are you feeling, Yeonae?"

Asked Suyeon to Yeonae who is now sitting at the bed while her mind is traveling somewhere that is not close to Yeonae's body.

"Fine. Just fine, I guess. Wae (Why)?"

Answered Yeonae as she comes back to reality once again then faces Suyeon with a weak smile on her face.

"It's just that... you're not being yourself these days. It's like, something changed."

Said Suyeon to Yeonae worriedly as she walks closer to her and sits beside her.

"Maybe I just miss them so much..."

Replied Yeonae to Suyeon as the tears started to form in her eyes once again but tries not to let them fall down her cheeks.

"You can call them anytime you want."

Said Suyeon to Yeonae as she caresses her back to comfort her. A tear fell down from Yeonae's eye.

"Yeah, I know."

Replied Yeonae to Suyeon as she quickly wipes off the tear that fell down from her eye. Suyeon's phone suddenly rings. She unlocks her phone and read the message.

"Just rest in here, okay? The other staffs need my assistance. As always. See you later, sweetie~"

Said Suyeon as she locks her phone after she reads the message then kisses Yeonae on her head and smile.

"See you later, Suyeon eonni (older girl/sister *female to female*)."

Said Yeonae to Suyeon as she waves at her. After the door closes, Yeonae laid on the bed as she finally let her tears fell from her eyes. The door suddenly opens slowly.

"Yeonae?"

Called someone from the outside of the hotel room. Yeonae quickly sit straight on the bed then looks at the door terrifyingly.

"W-ho is it?"

Stuttered Yeonae as she asked who it is.

"It's us. BTS."

Answered Namjoon to Yeonae's question as he slowly let himself be seen by Yeonae.

"Oh."

Said Yeonae as soon as she sees Namjoon enters the hotel room then looks away from them and wipe off her tears.

"Are you... crying?"

Asked Jimin to Yeonae as he quickly walks towards Yeonae and sits beside her.

"A-niyo (No)."

Answered Yeonae to Jimin's question as she stutters while sniffing.

"You're terrible at lying. You know that?"

Asked Yoongi to Yeonae as he stood up in front of her while his arms are crossed.

"Ne (Yes)."

Answered Yeonae as she continues to wipe off her tears.

"YOU STILL DOWN?"

Asked Namjoon to Yeonae as he kneels down in front of her for him to see Yeonae's face closely.

"Mm."

Answered Yeonae as she looks down the floor, not letting Namjoon see her eyes.

"Come here, chocolate."

Said Jimin as he hugs Yeonae who is sitting beside him. Yeonae had shown no reaction toward Jimin's hug.

"Chocolate?"

Asked Seokjin to Jimin confusedly as he looks at him with a puzzled expression on his face.

Because she loves chocolate."

Answered Jimin to Seokjin's question as he releases Yeonae from his hug and takes a look at his hyeong (older guy/brother *male to male*).

"Geumanhae (Stop it)."

Said Yoongi as he stops them from talking nonsense in front of Yeonae.

"You can cry all you want, Yeonae. We will never judge you for being weak."

Said Taehyung as he hugs Yeonae from her back, making her cry once again.

"Wae (Why)?"

Asked Yeonae to all of them while crying.

"Mwo (What)?"

Asked Hoseok to Yeonae cluelessly as he made a funny expression to make Yeonae laugh but she has no reaction about it. Then Taehyung releases Yeonae from his hug then sits beside her.

"Why won't you judge me for being this weak?"

Asked Yeonae to all of them as she looks at each of their eyes.

"Because all people are weak. We're just good at hiding it. Every person has weaknesses, Yeonae."

Answered Namjoon to Yeonae's question while he's still kneeling down the floor as he touches Yeonae's knees.

"We made a letter for you."

Said Yoongi to Yeonae as he messes Yeonae's hair.

"One from each of us."

Added Seokjin to what Yoongi said to Yeonae.

"I'll read mine first!"

Exclaimed Jimin excitedly as he took a piece of paper from the pocket of his pants.

"Dear chocolate..."

Started Jimin, sounding so sweetly.

"Jin-jja (Really)?"

Said Yoongi to Jimin with a disgusted expression in his face. Jimin just glared at him while pouting.

"Don't let those mean words got the best of you. You know yourself and that is enough. Don't be like anybody else who always pleases everyone. Be gentle on yourself. Saranghae (I love you)~ Love, Jimin."

Read Jimin his letter for Yeonae as he smiles at her but his smile quickly fades away when he doesn't see any reactions from Yeonae. Hoseok takes his letter from his pocket.

"I'm next! HI, Yeonae! Always be positive in this world full of negativity. You've got to change your perspective in things, not yourself. Don't let others come into you, they're just jealous of you. Please don't be hard on yourself. Sincerely yours, Hoseok."

Read Hoseok his letter for Yeonae. After he finishes, he messes Yeonae's hair and kiss her forehead.

"Who's next?"

Asked Jimin to them while caressing Yeonae's back and looking at his other members. Seokjin took a letter from his pocket.

"Annyeonghaseyo (Hello), Yeonae! Always remember that there are people who loves you and will still love you no matter what. Forget all the bad things in your life and just remember those good memories, good people and good things that you have in your life. Stop thinking about what other thinks about you. Just think about how handsome your Seokjin oppa (older guy/brother *female to male*) is. Yours truly, Seokjin."

Read Seokjin his letter for Yeonae with full confidence. Such a typical worldwide handsome.

"'How handsome your Seokjin oppa (older guy/brother *female to male*) is'? Jin-jja (Really)?"

Asked Yoongi to Seokjin as he looks at him with his one eyebrow raised while his arms are crossed.

"Worldwide handsome!"

Exclaimed Jimin joyfully as he raises his arms to the air. Yoongi takes the letter from his pocket.

"My dearest Yeonae..."

Started Yoongi but Jimin suddenly interrupts him.

"I thought I'm your dearest?"

Interrupts Jimin to Yoongi as he looks at him and acts cutely while pouting.

"Dakcheo (Shut up), Jimin-ah."

Said Yoongi as he glares at Jimin, he just crosses his arms and looks away from Yoongi.

"Words may cut you like knives and you thought that nothing will make the wounds heal. But here's the thing... wounds heal and you may forget those words. Don't forget the ones who stayed by your side when you're on your worst. Yes, the world is cruel. But there are still people who aren't. Just put your hope on them. Sincerely, Yoongi."

Continued Yoongi, after he finishes, he steps forward to Yeonae to kiss her on her forehead then step backwards to return to his place.

"Yoongi hyeong (older guy/brother *male to male*) is so sweet~"

Said Taehyung as he shakes himself because of his own happiness.

"Dakcheo (Shut up)."

Said Yoongi to Taehyung with his usual poker face. Same ol' Yoongi. Jungkook quickly take the letter from his pocket.

"Dear Yeonae, please don't let others hurt your feelings. Do not waste your mind in those negative things. It will just make you suffer even more. Please don't lose hope. We're still here supporting you with our best. Please continue on singing, you have an angelic voice. Don't be afraid to be weak, it's part of our lives. Love, Jungkookie."

Read Jungkook his letter for Yeonae then he walks towards Yeonae to hug her and kiss her head.

"I'm last!"

Exclaimed Taehyung as he raises his arm to the air.

"Namjoon. You're next."

Said Yoongi to Namjoon. He quickly takes the letter from his pocket.

"Ms. Yoo Yeonae, being an artist is and always be affiliated with haters and negative comments."

Read Namjoon his letter for Yeonae. After he finishes reading the first sentence, all of them looks at Namjoon confusedly.

"Are you making a letter for Bang PD?"

Asked Taehyung to Namjoon while he's scratching his head. All of them laugh except for Yeonae who just chuckle.

"Dakcheo (Shut up)."

Said Namjoon to Taehyung as he glares at him. Taehyung stops from laughing and so is the others.

"But having a strong desire to inspire others with your songs will and always be greater than those hate comments. We will always be here by your side. We will be your Polaris whenever you are lost in your path. We will be your light whenever you are left in the darkness. We will be your escape song whenever you want to go to your own world. We will always support you and love you, always remember that, Yeonae. Sincerely yours, Namjoon."

Continued Namjoon reading his letter for Yeonae. He smiles at her and Yeonae smiles back at him weakly. Taehyung quickly take the piece of paper from his pocket.

"I made a poem! Is it okay?"

Asked Taehyung to all of them, Yoongi just nods as an answer.

"Sweet, sweet Yeonae

You can cry as you wish

You can scream all you want

We won't hate you for being weak

I know you are stronger than you think

Coming all the way here is inspiring

Please always remember

You will and always will be love by the people who knows you

You can quit if you want

But we won't quit on you

We will inspire you again

We will make you feel loved again

You inspire me so much, Yeonae

You make me happier

Meeting you was destined

Being with you is everything

Sweet, sweet Yeonae

Don't be hard on yourself

Your standard is more important than the others

You know who you are, don't please everyone"

Read Taehyung his poem for Yeonae and ends it with a smile on his face while looking at her. Yeonae chuckle then stands up.

"Gamsahabnida (Thank you). Thank you for all of your letters and poem. I appreciate them so much."

Thanked Yeonae as she bows down to the floor in front of them as a sign of gratitude towards them.

"And here's the last one."

Said Jungkook as Yeonae stands up from the floor while they are all smiling at her.

"Last... one?"

Asked Yeonae cluelessly to Jungkook while she's staring at him with a confused expression on her face. Jungkook reaches out his phone towards Yeonae and she takes it to see the message from Jaeho.

"Read it out loud."

Said Jungkook to Yeonae while smiling at her. Yeonae looks at Jungkook's phone then looks at Jungkook and back to the phone to read the message.

"You are enthusiastic and hopeful

I wonder if I'll be able to be with you at the top

I hear the crowd screaming your name

I see the lights shining for you

And I know that you really want to perform in front of billions of people so badly

I know that you pretend that you're already in an award show receiving an award

I feel that you'll be a star that people will look up to

You touch the microphone and breath to calm yourself

I worry about you because you have a fragile heart that can be easily shattered by those hate comments

I'll cry with you whenever you're happy or sad

I understand that becoming the person that we want to be is such a long way to go

I say that we will not and will never give up on ourselves

I know that you dream of motivating the young generation to be better for themselves

I try to make a poem just for you

I hope you always remember that I love you

And that we can be enthusiastic and hopeful together..."

Read Yeonae to Jaeho's poem with tears forming in her eyes once again. Yeonae covers her mouth with her hand to restrain herself from sobbing out loud.

"Jaeho... made this poem... for me?"

Asked Yeonae to Jungkook as she looks at him and her tears starts to fall again.

"Yeah. We know how you love poems and letters."

Answered Taehyung to Yeonae's question to Jungkook while he's smiling at her. Yeonae can't take it anymore, so she went towards Taehyung to hug him so tightly while still holding Jungkook's phone.

"Thank you so much oppas (older guys/brothers *female to male*). I'm so lucky to have you in my life."

Thanked Yeonae to all of them as she continues crying while hugging Taehyung. Suyeon and the others start hugging both Taehyung and Yeonae.

"We're so lucky to have you, too, Yeonae."

Said Taehyung to Yeonae while still smiling and then he kisses her head and hugs her even more tightly than before.
