"So everyone, this is the last week of the show. After this week, one of you will be signed by our company and will be working with us. The other two will go on their own ways and I'm sure they will do something good in life as well." The host of the show says.

"But today, we want you to be motivated enough. We want you to be encouraged and do your very best for the rest of the week. And for that we have a special guest joining us. Please welcome, Suga!" The host announces. The three boys cheer and clap for the rapper. Yoongi enters through the back door. He has a smile on his face and some shopping bags in his hands.

He keeps them aside and hugs the boys one by one. "Thank you for having me here. I've been following this show for a while now and I really wanted to meet you all."

The three finalists excitedly tell him how happy they are to have Yoongi with them. "There are a couple of things that I want to say." He starts, "I want you all to know that no matter what happens after a week, no matter you win or lose, just remember where it all began. Just remember how far you've come. You are talented and being the finalist of this show is a proof of that. You guys are doing great and working so hard. I wish you all the best for the grand finale. Do your best. Choose the songs you're going to perform wisely. I hope the best one wins."

Yoongi says a few more encouraging words and then he says, "I didn't want to come empty handed here so I brought something for you all. I hope you like it." He gives the shopping bags to the boys who excitedly look for what's inside. There are branded shoes for everyone.

"I bought the same thing as I didn't want one of you to get jealous with what someone else got." Yoongi laughs.

"We're not children, sunbae. And these shoes are really cool." Taeyong says.

"I'm glad you like them."

They shoot for another half an hour and once the shooting finally wraps up, Taehyung hurries towards Yoongi. He is so happy to see him. "Hey hyung!" He excitedly greets him. Yoongi smiles at his cute behavior.

"Hi Tae! How are you doing?" Yoongi asks as he pats at the seat next to him for the younger to sit down.

"I'm good. I can't wait to get out of here." Taehyung replies while sitting down.

"You hate this place that much?"

"I don't hate this place. After all this is the place where everything started. I got recognition, sang songs and stuff because I came here so I like this place. I would miss it even. But I don't like the people I'm sharing this place with." Taehyung tells him honestly. He is glad he can talk about what's on in his mind as there is no one around them.

"Why? What happened?"

"It's just that Lee Taeyong is a very cocky guy. He keeps getting on my nerves and keeps telling me that I wouldn't make it. He's been so mean to me since the first week." Taehyung says angrily but then he pouts and looks cute as ever.

"If he's been like that since the first week and you're still here as one of the finalists, I'm sure you've already proven to him that you are more capable than what he thinks." Yoongi puts his hand on the younger's shoulder and smiles at him.

"I guess you're right. He's just trying to make me feel less confident. I won't feel that way. I can't let him get his way." Taehyung says with determination.

"Wow, look at you suddenly being so confident."

"Should I not be?"

"You should but there's something different about you right now. Hmm... what is it, Tae? You're glowing." Yoongi states. Taehyung cheeks immediately turn red and he looks away.

"I'm not."

"You definitely are. Is it the after sex glow?" Yoongi smirks and Taehyung just wants to bury his face in the sand because of how embarrassed he is.

"Shut up, hyung!" He whines.

"Seems like you and Kook had a wild night." Yoongi is in no mood to stop.

"Just go do whatever you want to do with Jimin. Stop imagining me and Jungkook having sex." Taehyung says and it's now time for Yoongi to get embarrassed.

"Yah, shut up. You're so young. You're not supposed to say all that to your hyung."

"Seriously, hyung? I'll be twenty soon and the last time I checked, nineteen year olds are considered adults." Taehyung says and Yoongi glares at him. They stay quiet for a while but then Yoongi speaks up again. "But seriously what did you guys do?"

"Hyung!" Taehyung screams and Yoongi laughs. Taehyung remembers the wonderful night he spent with Jungkook. He feels so content and happy. The ravenette is the only person he ever wanted so badly. The night made the both of them feel euphoric. But the morning was blissful as well. He woke up in the arms of his lover. They spent some time cuddling and kissing each other. The ravenette even made breakfast for the younger and everything felt so good and so natural. Taehyung knows that he is living his best life right now. He has a very caring boyfriend, amazing friends and happy family.

After talking to Yoongi, he suddenly misses his boyfriend even though he just met him a few hours ago, maybe he would just give him a call later.

"Don't you dare miss the grand finale tonight, Chim. You are coming and that's final." Taehyung says with finality in his voice. A week passed with Taehyung being super busy. In a few hours, the winner of Idol War would be decided. Taehyung is very nervous and to distract himself, he facetimes Jimin in his free time. It's been a while since they met so the both of them missed each other a lot.

"I would've come, Tae. My best friend is the finalist of Idol War. Do you think I don't want to come and cheer for you? I really do but I'm broke." Jimin tells him sadly.

"How come you're broke? We went to Music Bank together last time and you bought the tickets." Taehyung reminds him. It was the time they had recently become friends. It feels like such a long time ago now.

"Well... I wasn't back then but I am now." The pink haired boy replies.

"How come?" Taehyung asks. He remembers himself wondering how Jimin managed to get the tickets back then but getting uncomfortable when Taehyung had asked where he got them from.

"Umm... the gang l-leader was happy with my w-work so he kind of gave me a p-prize... money, to be precise. I used them to buy the tickets." Jimin says clearly uncomfortable with the topic.

"Oh." Taehyung says deciding to just drop the topic.

"So Jungkook and I went to meet Sungje today. Together." Jimin tells him.

"Really? How did it go?"

"That man is dying, Tae. I think that's why he is acting much less colder than he usually does." Jimin smiles sadly.

"What do you mean?" Taehyung looks at him with a scared expression.

"He is diagnosed of last stage cancer and he doesn't have much time left. He feels guilty for what he did to my mom and me. At least that's what he said and he apologized to Jungkook hyung for not being the dad that he always wanted. He wanted to be our superhero but that didn't happen because all this time he was worried about making money and maintaining his reputation." Jimin says. Taehyung is shocked. He never expected this and he feels bad now.

"Oh that's really sad."

"I know. I don't know what to feel. He asked me where my mom is. He wants to meet her. He said that when he confessed to her that he loves her, he wasn't joking."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I'm thinking of letting the dying man have his wish." Jimin says. Sure he is very angry at Sungje, but the man will be dead soon. Jimin doesn't want to carry the burden of denying a dying man his last wish.

"I'm sorry, Jimin. I know this must be hard for you." Taehyung says softly.

"It is. But it's hard for Jungkook hyung as well. He didn't say anything but I'm sure he is hurt. It's not easy to hear your dad say that he loves a woman that isn't your mom in front of you."

"I know." Taehyung sighs.

"Hey Tae, let's not talk about this anymore. I shouldn't have told you about this. I don't want your performance getting affected because of my crap." Jimin says.

"It's not crap, Chim. It's a sensitive topic for both you and Jungkook. You wanted someone to talk to and I understand. I promised you that I will always be there for you so I will. Don't worry. It won't affect my performance. I'll do my very best." Taehyung smiles.

"Yes, make sure to win for us. I'll just ask Yoongi hyung to pay me back by helping me get to the Idol War grand finale tonight." Jimin smirks.

"What pay back?"

"Well, we went out together a few days ago but then it suddenly got very crowded. Yoongi hyung didn't know how to get away so he asked me for help. I told him I'd help him if he pays me back somehow. Now that I think of it, I made a good deal." Jimin says and the two boys laugh.

After a while, Jimin wishes his best friend good luck for his performance tonight and they hang up. Taehyung starts preparing for the grand night.

How was this chapter guys? I hope you like it. Please vote and comment.

And did you guys watch the BTS Indian interview?? God it was so good. The interviewer asked such good questions and they looked so happy. And Jimin's "Hi" in between the question 😭😭

And the expressions of other members when Taehyung was answering were so precious lol. And the way they spoke hindi. God!! RM has such nice linguistic skills. And it seems like "rehte hai" is the favorite hindi phrase of Jungkook now. I hope we get a concert soon!!

Covid, I don't know how to say fuck off politely.

BTS: Indian BTS ARMY, aap humare dil me rehte hai.

Me: BTS, Aap bhi humare dil me rehte hai.

Anyway, enough rants. See ya'll in the next chapter.

Borahae💜
