Everyone is doing their own things in the waiting room. Namjoon and SeokJin are practicing on their dance. Jungkook is playing his video game on his phone. J-Hope is having his makeup done. Jimin and Taehyung are playing around. Yoongi is typing on his phone, smiling.

Jimin looks at Yoongi and said "Ahhh~I'm so jealous of this Hyung. I should have shown more of my charm to Jihye Nuna during the fan meeting.

🐻Taehyung: Yaaa, you punk. How dare of you... If Jihye Nuna were to choose another person beside Yoongi-Hyung. It gotta be me. Jihye Nuna and I held hands twice at the fan sign.

Jimin and Taehyung are bickering with each other so much, they decided to go to Yoongi.

🐥Jimin: Yoongi Hyung, can you ask Jihye Nuna who does she like best from the mv? Taehyung and I make a bet, the loser gets a finger smack at the wrist.

Yoongi said coldly "She watched the MV yesterday. She like V's outfit the most. Because she loves comic series"

Taehyung cheered as if he won an Olympic medal, and later jump excitedly.

🐻Taehyung: A-SAA!!!! Nuna likes my outfit the best, out of seven of us! Ya! Park Jimin, wrist!

Taehyung smacks real hard on Jimin's wrist.

🐱Yoongi: both of you go one side to play. I'm going to catch some sleep.

🐻Taehyung: Aayyy~ Yoongi Hyung is jealous.

Jimin and Taehyung then further tease Yoongi by singing Some by Soyou & Junggigo.

🐱Yoongi: Sorry, I couldn't reply to your text earlier. I really want to video call your yesterday. But there was a late minute meeting that took place.

🦉Jihye: I was really shocked by the news of death threats to Namjoon and the cut of the performance. How is he doing?

🐱Yoongi: He was really disappointed that we had to cut the performance. But we had to do it, for everyone's safety.

🦉Jihye: I can't believe why would anyone want to hurt him.

🐱Yoongi: We had a meeting with the management yesterday. Apparently, Namjoon sparks outrage from the black community because of a joke about the members during an interview we had in Melbourne. Namjoon was really upset with himself. Seokjin and I spent a whole night talking to him about it. This morning we also had a talk with all the members about us having the need to be more sensitive towards the colorism and other minorities.

🦉Jihye: I just really feel unfair to your guys for we live in such a homogenous society in South Korea, and yet we are treated so harshly for a comment that we are not familiar with. I can understand if it is a backlash. But, a death threat?

🐱Yoongi: I feel that frustration too. But the world isn't fair, to begin with. People can still find fault with us even if we present our best selves. Sometimes, I do wonder what if I am the one facing the death threat? What if it really happened? All the people who are hoping for my failure would be so glad about it.

🦉Jihye: Yoongi. We couldn't stop some people from belittling us because they are just so narrow-minded. The success of BTS has proved and will continue to prove them wrong. All I know is, I couldn't stop worrying about all of you just from the death threats for Rapmon. I wouldn't even dare to imagine if the target is you.

🐱Yoongi: I'm sorry if my words worry you. I'm actually really glad that you did not stop me from sharing. I'm constantly disturbed by so many 'what ifs'. But everyone is telling me not to think in a bad way. But I just couldn't control my thoughts. You are the only one who never stops me from sharing. Thank you.

🦉Jihye: You look tired. Have you been eating well?

🐱Yoongi: Honestly, no. Everyone is dieting to look better on stage. I'm feeling weaker and weaker each day. I'm also working hard on my mixtape, hope to release it by the end of this year. But my recent headache is slowing me down. I think it could be the bleaching of my hair. My scalp is in pain ever since I got it bleached.

🐱Yoongi: If I'm losing my hair because of this, I'm gonna sue Bighit.

🐱Yoongi: Anyway, are you free on the 12th next month? The company is organizing the movie time with the ARMY. I can get a ticket for you.

🦉Jihye: 12th? Oh no. I'm sorry, I can't make it. I have my thesis submission on that day.

🐱Yoongi replied with a disappointing tone: Oh... It's okay then. We can still video call each other. Anyway, I'll be back in the country on the 2nd week of August.

I felt so bad that I couldn't accept Yoongi's invitation for the movie time with ARMY, so I contacted Yewon unnie to help me get into the ISAC Chuseok Special this year. Yoongi is participating in the Basketball competition, representing the Gangnam Lakers Team.

Compare to the major events in ISAC, the basketball competition has lesser fans attending, but the numbers of ARMY are still taking up the majority of the seats.

Yoongi is warming up at the court. Jimin and J-Hope standing at level two cheering for Yoongi. They saw me seated from afar and we greet each other with a bow.

On the semi-final match, Yoongi is in a really good condition. Yoongi's jump-start is incomparable, and scored the first and second shot for the team! The ARMY's cheer filled up the entire stadium. Yewon unnie and I hug each other when Yoongi scored the first shot!

But when it comes to fanboying, no one can match with Jimin.

It's good to see Yoongi do something he loves; basketball and have all the ARMYs cheering for him! As expected, the great chemistry of the Gangnam Lakers brings them to the final match against the Shoot-Hago Bulls.

At the final match, Yoongi looks significantly tired. He even had cramp at his leg that he need to sit out for a while. But quickly he returns to the match and helps the team to score another 2-points.

The game finally end with Gangnam Lakers winning the Gold Medal. At the end of the day, Yewon eonnie shared a really nice shot of Yoongi and sent to me.

All seven members: CHEERS!!!!

🐨 Namjoon: Wah! Our team did great today! We won gold for the 400m relay and Yoongi hyung's Gangnam Laker won the gold medal as well!

🐥Jimin: Yoongi Hyung jjang-ida! Did you hear our ARMY's cheer in the stadium? Haha! It feels so good!

🐰Jungkook: Jimin-ssi~ Your fanboying was no joke too!

🐴Hoseok: Waaa~ Talking about ARMY's cheer. I didn't know Jihye-ssi can scream so loud. She is so petite, but her scream.... it kind of scared me off a little.

🐱Yoongi: She was there too?

🐴Hoseok: Yea. She was up at the second storey viewing deck with the ARMYs from the start till the end of the game.

🐱Yoongi: Where's my phone?

Yoongi took his phone and left the dining table.

🐻Taehyung: Ayyyy~ There goes this Hyung again. Yoongi Hyung! I'm going to eat your share if you go away for too long.
