toddler taehyung looking up at his grandma and asking if she'll ever be proud of him.

his grandma responds with "i'll be proud of you no matter what you do, but only if you don't forget your old grandma back home."

from then on, taehyung keeps a photo of his grandma and him under his pillow, and when he joins bangtan she's in his wallet.

he never forgets his old grandmother, who told him that she'd be proud no matter what he did. as he looks up into the impossibly large crowd, looks up into the faces of his beloved band members,

he can hear her voice saying

"i'm proud of you, kim taehyung."
