N.O

"Hyung, I give up", Jungkook stood and looked sharp at the outside of the window.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Namjoon asked. He becomes headache with the situation Jungkook currently in.

"BTS. This glamorous world. I want to give up and do something else," said Jungkook, out of sudden.

Yoongi stared at Jungkook. Although he can understand Jungkook, but he started to hate this idea. Back then Jin, now Jungkook wants to leave BTS. He thought BTS will never think like this again since their position is already so high. A position that is hard to beat. Yoongi feel boiled inside his body. He wants to stand up, go to Jungkook, and smack his head, but Taehyung stopped him. He sit back after his eyes locked with Taehyung.

Taehyung knew Yoongi is sensitive when he heard something like this. He afraid Yoongi will become mad and they get into more fight. That is why Taehyung stopped him. He holds his hand long. Trying to make him calm.

Jimin knew, with what that had just happened to Jungkook recently, make him stressful. His scandal with his friend, witnessing Jin being hit, and now taxi accident, so many things came one after another very ridiculous. Like he is scheduled to live like that. Attack after another attack.

Jin quiet. He hates hard situations like this. Deep down he knew there is something off about this. Something really strange. Like someone set Jungkook in this mess. Seokjin got the feeling this is all set by someone. If it's true, the only person he can think of is Hyunjae. Could this be a set of trap by Hyunjae? But...they already agreed to leave BTS members and let him alone with this problem. Is the deal invalid now? Huh. What to expect when dealing with an evil person like Hyunjae? His words cannot be trusted.

Hoseok glad Jungkook is fine and no one suffer any injuries from the accident. Jungkook admitted he did the mistake and speed up because he doesn't want to be late. Jungkook just trying to avoid illegal parking, but got into trouble instead. Hoseok feels bad for being mad at Jungkook. He didn't know Jungkook never came to the restaurant because of the taxi accident he got involved. The news already published in the newspapers. He pretty sure Jungkook feels like he always caused trouble to BTS. But if he can say on the behalf of all hyungs, instead of feeling burdened because of Jungkook, they feel more worried about Jungkook. As hyungs, they couldn't help but to feel worry about his maknae. Sometimes, not only Jungkook, even Seokjin, the eldest member also worrying them instead of burdening them. This is what makes BTS has a good teamwork. BTS is not just a business relationship, but a family relationship.

Everyone keep quiet. They are all feel the same. Want to skip the topic of exiting BTS and pretend like nothing happened. But since Jungkook feels terrible since the accident and the media pressure, it does affect their teamwork. After all, Jungkook is the main vocal of the group. An important position in BTS.

"I really love this team," said Taehyung, out of blue. Everyone looked at him with a weird face. What with this sudden confession?

Taehyung continued, "No matter how much I think about it, I really love this group. It's impossible for me to give up. I'm really happy".

In contrast to Jungkook, Taehyung twisted the dark mood into good mood to look the the bright side in his unique way.

Jin quick witted, can catch Taehyung intentions. "I also am very happy with our life now. Even we got into trouble with ourselves and other people at times, but we overcome it well until now. I'm really happy with this group. Soon gonna be military. Probably next comeback gonna be the last comeback for 7 of us. So I'm going to appreciate and enjoy every single second I have with BTS and ARMY, before I move to military".

"Ah, hyung. Why you make it sound happy but sad?" Namjoon asked.

Seokjin smiled, "So, don't ever think about leaving this group. Let's think realistically. We don't know what will happen in the future. So instead of being sad of something that haven't occur yet, let's not waste our time worrying about it. I know deep down Jungkook don't want to leave this group, right JK?"

Jungkook nodded. Seokjin is right. He's just saying that because he's stress. He feels sad hearing what Seokjin just sad. That's the fact. After all, all 7 of BTS members will go into military, and he has a few moments left with his hyungs. Probably less than a year. He should get a hold of himself and create more memories with 7 of them before everyone go one by one.

Seeing everyone is quiet, Hoseok trying to comfort Jungkook.

"Jungkook-a, remember when you're crying after I left Big Hit during our training? You make me come back because I trusted all of you. As a return, I don't want you to say something like this. You usually not this kind of person who will said something like this. So show us, show us, our Golden Maknae is a monster and unbeatable," Hoseok cheering up Jungkook to lighten the situation.

"I'm not a monster, it's Namjoon hyung," Jungkook responded with one replied from Jungkook, makes all his hyungs chuckled.

Hoseok grinned, "Oh okay, okay..you're not a monster. Namjoon-i is a rap monster, the God of destruction," Hoseok joked. Glad to see Jungkook reacting fine.

Namjoon surprised, why he got attacked, but glad it makes the situation become lighten.

Jimin smiled and tell Taehyung he did well in twisting the mood. After he thanked Taehyung he said, "I'm glad we talking about this. No matter how small or big, we always talk about it. That is our strength. In my opinion, Jungkook-a, to me it doesn't really matter whether you're wrong or not. But the way you handle the stress and problem, what you're going to do, these are important. Since you talked about it, I understand what you're feeling right now although I'm not at your place. I'll definitely feel the same if I were at your position now. So, what I think from this problem, let's not react to anything. The more we react, the more harm it will caused. Let's just talk among ourselves and company. What's the point of making money to the company if the company did not do anything? So let Big Hit handle everything. If you have something to dispute, just talk about it with us. Don't be too hard on yourself".

Yoongi nodded. Well said. He added, "Yes, just trust all these hyungs here. We're here for you. Don't feel like you're burdening us or think you bring BTS name and reputation become bad. We're all started together from the bottom. We should be together till the end. I don't think we will get down that easily. Even if we go down, definitely not because of this problem. We'll get up even if we fall. I trust our skills and Army, you should trust yourself a little bit more, that everything gonna be fine".

Jungkook sighed, "I don't know why my life is getting harder and harder day by day. I really do my best in everything I do. I don't want to give up either, but when hard times hit me like this, I really feel down. I feel like life is so scary, and I'm incapable to do anything. The whole world talk about me, and I can't say anything to defend myself because of so many things I need to protect. I don't want to face anyone with this ugly side of me. It's embarrassing. I know i don't deserve to be treated wrongly like this, but I can't deny that I got hurt and I hate it," Jungkook confessed his inner feelings to his hyung with his eyes filled with tears.

Jungkook looked at Namjoon who is just next to him. He asked a simple question, "Why it is still so hard even after we go this far?".

Namjoon is taken aback. Jungkook usually didn't opened up like this, but it seems like he has a lot of things that he hold in his mind. A burden that going to explode his heart. A guy who usually quiet when we talk something serious, is now talking his real feeling out loud. He looked like a different person now.

Jungkook continued, "I really thankful to all hyungs for making me this secured and protected. I'm just saying this because I think it is going to be hard after this and I afraid you'll get affected because of me".

Jimin comes and squat in front of Jungkook. Jimin pulled Jungkook's hand and said, "You're still our baby no matter how many muscle you have. We're going to protect you. Thank you for worrying about us. Just don't think too much. Let's walk through this together. Just work hard and do your best in everything. Be honest, sincere and true. If you're saying the truth, no one can change the fact. If things did not work, don't blame yourself. Just accept and improve yourself to be a better person in the future. I'm not saying this because of this current problem, but in every single things you will do after this. Let's show them how powerful we are".

Jin massaged Jungkook's neck and shoulder at the back. He pitied Jungkook. He realised these days BTS got more and more haters, although they received more and more love. He decided to face Hyunjae for real this time. Although he isn't sure whether Hyunjae is behind this. But he sure, Hyunjae won't let him free just like that. He want to put a full stop to all this messed.

"Jungkook-a, I have something to ask," said Seokjin. Everyone looked at him.

Jungkook turned around at look at Seokjin.

Both eyes locked for a long time.
