"ExcUse me?!" Yoongi yelled. "Dudes! Gross!" Hoseok whined. All Taehyung and Jimin could do was blush. Jimin slowly put his arms back next to his body, his hand feeling awkward with the amount of cum on it. "Caaan I get a wipe please?" Was the first thing Jimin asked. Namjoon didn't say anything as he handed him a tissue. Jimin cleaned his hands and threw the dirty tissue in the trash can.

"Aren't you guys gonna explain why?" Seokjin asked, giving the couple big eyes. "E-exitement?" Jimin tried. "I was horny and you cut us off and Jimin wanted to have fun apparently," Taehyung stated. "Blame it on me, right?" "Yah, you did it, not me. I didn't ask for it." "You moaned out loud idiot." Jimin rolled his eyes. "Like we didn't see what was going on."

The whole table eyed Jeongguk as those words left his mouth. "You saw that gross act?" Namjoon asked him. Jeongguk blushed lightly and nodded. "Oooh god." "Sorry Kooks," Jimin apologized. "It's okay. Damn, you big hyung." Taehyung laughed while doing a face palm. ''Like we didn't already know that. Remember in the practice room when we were about to have a comeback with I Need U and Taehyung-'' ''Shuush!'' Taehyung quickly silenced Hoseok. ''Oh god, not THAT story,'' Seokjin laughed. ''Definitely not!'' Taehyung stated as he stood up. 

That same night Jimin and Taehyung cuddled in bed, legs entangled and Jimins head resting on Taehyungs chest. Jimin sighed as he listened to Taehyungs calm heartbeat. ''I'm so nervous for our comeback, Min.'' Taehyung sighed deeply. ''I know, but we will practice and practice and you'll slay the game. You know that, you always do that, right, Taehyungie?'' Jimin tried motivatingly. Taehyung nodded. ''I just don't want to disappoint y'all.'' ''Never,'' Jimin smiled. 

''I dont know... I feel so insecure about everything lately.'' Jimin sat up straight. Taehyung doesn't usually talk openly about his worries anymore. ''What if I mess up the choreo or what if I will forget my lines? Everyone will laugh at us and that would be my fault.'' Jimin stroked Taehyungs cheek. ''Taehyungie, I've seen you at your complete worst and I still think that you are the best of the best. Please don't doubt yourself anymore from now on, okay?'' Taehyungs eyes started to get watery, and Jimin was quick to notice. He held his boyfriend tight as he softly cried into Jimins shirt. ''It's okay, let all of your frustration go darling,'' Jimin whispered as he kissed his forehead. 

''Sometimes I just wanna give u-'' ''No. Never give up on something you really want. It's difficult, but worth it. It's more difficult to regret not doing something right? There is a rainbow of hope at the end of every storm. Do you remember yourself saying that to me three years ago?'' Taehyung smiled softly and nodded. ''I do.'' ''You better,'' Jimin grinned softly, ''I think of that moment daily, you really helped me with that, Taehyung.'' He softly nodded and dried his cheeks. ''You were wonderful, you are wonderful right now and you'll always be wonderful. Don't stress too much'' Jimin said as he laid down again. ''You sound like a therapist.'' ''Should've become one, right?'' The two laughed. ''Definitely. By the way, don't you still go to your therapist?'' Jimin shook his head. ''No, not anymore. I don't really need it anymore. I feel better, safer.'' ''Even after the news of all her creepy letters they found in her jailcell?'' ''She can't hurt us anymore.'' ''What if she haunts us?'' ''Dude- You know I'm scared of that! Don't say that dickhead.'' ''Don't call me a dickhead. And don't call me dude, I'm your boyfriend. I shove my fucking tongue down your throat.'' ''Not the only thing that goes down my throat.'' Taehyung laughed and slapped his arm playfully. ''What? Food? Water?'' Jimin laughed, trying to make his saying more innocent. ''Sure darling. Don't even think of saying more. I'll expose you at our press conference.'' ''Oh bitch, you wouldn't!'' ''Betcha.''

It was the day of the comeback. 12 April 2019. Taehyung stood there with trembling knees on the stage, doing the pre-recording of the Boy With Luv, Dionysus and Make It Right stages. He wanted to go home. God, he wanted to die. But he shouldn't want to, he reminded himself. ''It's gonna be okay'' Yoongi whispered to him, standing right behind him. Taehyungs body got covered in goosebumps as Yoongi's sudden presence shocked him. He nodded. ''I'll do my best.'' Taehyung said. ''You've come from far, Tae, we're proud of you, Seokjin said as he joined the others. Soon all seven of them stood on the stage.

Boy With Luv's music soon started to play. Taehyung forced himself to enjoy what was happening, as if he was getting into character, his alter ego V. He wiggled his shoulders to the beat, and smiled as he heard Jimin opening the song. Soon his worries were gone, for approximately 4 minutes. Then a blush creeped on his face. Did he do well enough? Will people start to think bad about them? But he only heard positive cheers. Taehyung smiled widely and bright at the members. Proud of his achievement. 

When the members got off the stage after talking to some fans, they all did a group hug together. ''WE NAILED IT GUYS! MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA IS HERE!'' Namjoon yelled loudly, and all - including staff members - cheered with the boys. After a succesful Dionysus and Make It Right pre-recording the boys went home and ordered loads of chicken and pizza. The boys drank soju and wine together, eating and singing loudly to the music of their karaoke set. But they didn't know their oh so fun night was about to get ruined.
