《YOONMIN ¦ before debut》epilogue
Advertisement
Yoongi's POV:
- what just happened? -
I can't believe it. We just performed. We're done. We've technically just made our debut as BTS. It's done. We can officially call ourselves the Bangtan Boys.
That's a weird feeling. We've been practicing and getting ready for this moment for years. And now, it's over. We've debuted. We're BTS. Wow
Now that our time on stage is over, we're heading over to the interview room. We have a few to do, just introduction and stuff. Shouldn't be too complicated.
As we're walking in the hallway, we automatically seperate into small groups of two or three. Taehyung, Jungkook and Hobi, Namjoon and Jin and of course, me and Jimin. We always tend to do this, small separation to those we're closest to. Nothing personal, it's just what we do. Nobody's ever objected to this method. We're just like this sometimes.
Making sure no cameras are on us, I look around the members. Left: Taehyung, Jungkook, Hobi and a few staff members. Right: Staff. Front: Namjoon and Jin. And finally, back: just staff. As I confirm the lack of cameras, I casually place my hand in Jimin's small soft one. He turns to me as he notices the gesture. I smile and shrug it off.
It's no big deal. We're dating so.... :)
As we keep walking, Jimin slowly leans closer to me. Nothing too noticeable for others, but I can very much so tell what he's doing. I feel our shoulders softly brush against each other as he takes another step closer.
It's these moments that I love. Jimin is pretty clingy and tends to love giving hugs. I'm not really the type to like any physical contact with anyone else, but when it comes to Jimin, it's seems so comforting. It's a touch that I haven't ever gotten in the past. It's his touch that I've been missing my entire life. And I love his touch.
When we finally get to our destination, staff starts talking to us about how all of this is gonna work.
"Alright, all you boys have to do is: stay in this room and answer questions. Interviewers will be coming to you and when it's about to start, they'll tell you in more detail what to do. Got it?"
We all simultaneously say "yes" then bow as we are only left with staff from Big Hit and not from backstage. I, as well as the other members, head over to where the staff told us to. Honestly, the few minutes we wait for the first interviewer to come in, are a little awkward. Everyone is dead silent, nervous for what's to come. No staff member is talking either, since they are also scared. Coming from a small company is difficult. Talking to other companies employees is definitely intimidating.
"Hey boys"
A small brunette comes into the room. Making eye contact with her is scary, she has this sweet smile, but the devil's eyes.
"Hello"
Here comes the choir~
"All you have to do is look into the camera why le answering my questions. Simple, right?"
We all nod as she sits down on the chair, facing us. Showing off her big smile.
"And Three, two—"
As the director finishes with a point, the interviewer turns to the camera. Another big bright smile plastered onto her face
"Hello everyone, welcome back to Idols with Jiyoon. Today I have BTS with me"

Jiyoon looks over to us, a sign that she wants us to introduce ourselves. Namjoon takes the lead, as always.
"Two, three— Bang!"
"Tan! Hello everyone, we are BTS!"
"Hi boys, how are we doing today?"
"We are doing just fine, it's a wonderful day. Our debut!"
"Yes, of course. Would you mind introducing yourselves individually? Just for those at home who don't know you"
"Not at all, shall I start"
We all nod at our leader who has, so far, managed to not mess up. I envy him for this.
"Hi my name is Rap Monster, I'm the leader and rapper in this group"
We then move onto Jin.
"I'm Jin, and I sing and am in charge of the looks"
He then does a small pose for the camera as Jiyoon laughs a little
- oh shit, it's me -
"Oh, hi. I'm Suga, I rap"
And I stuttered a little. We are doing great today...
"I'm your hope, I'm your angel. I'm J-Hope, I dance and rap"
Smiles all around.
Listen, I love you Hobi, but up next is my angel, sooo...
"Hi, I'm Park Jimin. Just call me Jimin, I sing and dance"
Can anyone ever be so perfect?
"Hi my name is V and I sing"
And finally,
"Hello, I'm Jungkook. I'm a vocalist, dancer and the maknae of this group"
How does it feel to finally have your debut?
Yah! *thumbs up*
It's honestly the best feeling. We've been working so hard, and here we are. Hearing the cheers from fans, makes us realize that we didn't do all of this for nothing
If you wouldn't have made your debut as an idol group, what do you think you'd be doing right now?
I believe I would've still been in school, working on my studies. Maybe becoming a scientist...?
I was originally majoring in acting at school, I imagine I'd be working on that by now
I never really had a clear future planned in my mind. I think I would've tried to become a producer for another company...
Before BTS, I was in an underground dance team. If I hadn't become a trainee when I did, I'd probably be with my original team
Like Suga, my future wasn't something g I'd think about often. But as well as J-Hope, I always had a passion in dancing. Probably something in that field...
I grew up very poor, out of the city and away from a lot of the world. Realistically, I'd still be working with my family and their business. But I've always loved the thought of adventure, so I'd probably find a way to travel the world
I'm still really young, I'd be in school right now *laughs* But in the future, if it wasn't singing, I always thought of becoming an athlete
Oh wow, clearly you'd all be very different without Big Hit. I'm glad you all found something that you all equally love to do. I'd like to know more about your experience as trainees in a lesser known company like yours
As Jiyoon asks this question, and the others answering thoroughly, I can't help but think back at all the years I've spent at Big Hit. From the moment I was signed, all the way to yesterday. I then remember a certain day that changed my life. No, not my first day. And no, not any other day that would be logical for me to say. No no, I'm talking about the day that changed everything. For the better, obviously.

The day that Jimin joined.
That was he day that changed everything. A day that will go down in history. I could never forget.
FLASHBACK:
"And five, six, seven and eight. See? Not hard"
- that's what you say Hobi -
"Let's try from the top. Cue music—"
"Actually, Hoseok, not right now"
We all turn around to find none other than Bang Sihyuk standing by the door. As the respectful you g adults we all are, we bow as we see him.
"Sit down boys, I have some news"
We do as told as he brings over a chair in front of us and sits down. It's like we're in kindergarten and the teacher's about to read us a story. It's kinda funny if you think of it.
"I'm here to tell you, that.."
He looks directly into my eyes. That's not scary at all
"We have a new member joining the group"
Our faces immediately turn into a grimace.
- is he serious? Debut's in less than a year, how is this gonna work? -
"PD-nim, are you sure about this? We have very little time before debut, is this really the right thing to do?"
"Namjoon, I'm the ceo. I know what I'm doing. And trust me, when you see him, you'll know why we need him in the group. The fans will love him, you'll see. All you need to know is, his name's Park Jimin. Treat him well"
Without letting anyone else say anything, as fast as he came in, Bang PD leaves the room with a "if this works out, you'll be debuting very soon"
And then he's gone. And we're alone to discuss the events
"So he just lets someone join the group now?"
"I know right, what if he's not good?"
I can't help but agree with what Taehyung says but...
"I wouldn't think they would let him in if he was talentless"
Hobi obviously has to contridict my statement
"You never know, I mean they could've let him in 'cause he has a pretty face"
"Like Jin Hyung"
Rookie mistake Jungkook.... tsk tsk
"Yah! Why are you bringing me into the conversation"
"I was just kidding, don't worry you're great at singing. You just definitely didn't get in 'cause of your dancing"
Just stop now... you're making it worse
"Yah!"
We all start laughing and as much as I want to join in, I noticed someone at the door. I can't help but notice his small giggle as he listens to our ridiculous conversation. He's diss have a pretty face. Hopefully that's not his only skill
"Guys, he's here"
Everyone turns to face him and, after a few seconds, Namjoon speaks up.
"Oh, you must be Jimin, right?"
"Yeah, I'm Jimin"
Nice speaking voice, what about singing?
"Well, it's nice to meet you, I guess. I'm Namjoon, I'm the leader"
"Yeah, I've heard about you"
Typical, everyone's heard of Namjoon. Jin introduces himself after
"I'm Jin"
Another smile is placed into his face as he greets him
"I'm Taehyung"
"I'm Jungkook"
Welp, guess it's my turn
"I'm Yoongi"
Nothing extravagant. It's not like we'll be living together for the next few years
"I'm Hoseok"
Namjoon takes control of the situation once again
"Well, now that we made our introductions, we should get to work. Bang Si Hyuk Hyung said we'll be debuting soon if this works out the way it should"
Out of nowhere, Taehyung starts
"Jimin, why don't you show us what you've got?"
"Um, sure, I guess. What should I do?"
Jimin seems to ven taken off guard. I can't help but smile as I notice him fiddling with the end of his sleeve
"I don't know, sing, dance?"
"Uhhh... okay"
We all sit down as he decides what to perform for us. He starts singing small part of 'History' by EXO.
My eyes widen as he continues singing, dancing slightly with his words. His voice is so angelic and calming. I can see what Bang PD meant by 'we need him'. 'Cause we really do
When he's finished everyone is completely silent. Nothing but Jimin's deep breathing can be heard. We can tell that he's nervous by the rise of panic in his voice as he says
"What? What's wrong?"
Namjoon starts with a hesitant "That was..."
"Um... what did you guys think"
He's so shy it's hard to watch. I have to cut the tension
"Honestly, I liked it. You have a nice voice"
He smiles in relief
"Thanks"
He continues to look around at the others. Hoping for some kind of decent answer. Jin ends up talking, but not saying what Jimin wanted to hear
"Guys, get back to practice. If you want to have a successful debut, you need to work for it"
"Uh, yeah let's show Jimin what he needs to learn and then take it from the top"
We start getting into place, but Jimin stands in place. Shocked
"Jimin, let's go!"
- Namjoon, be careful, he's fragile -
"Right... yeah"
"From the top"
We then start dancing. Jimin looking at no one in particular and simply copying the dance himself, but with smaller movements. I notice the members sending questioning glances towards Jimin the whole day and it makes me uneasy. It hurts to see someone this talented, disrespected in this way. There must be something wrong. I'm sure of it
I decide that night, as I'm sleeping next to Jimin, that it's my job to protect him from the others. No matter what happens, I am on Jimin's side.
After a long day of performing and answering many questions (a lot of repeated ones), we're finally sent home to rest. Another long day of work is scheduled for tomorrow and I can only say ont thing 'this is only the beginning'
The car ride home is filled with hugs, congratulations, laughs and a few tears here and there. It's really an emotional day and we can't help it.
We've done it.
Actually, we haven't done much. We're just egging started.
As we head to bed. I grab Jimin's arm and bring him onto my bed.
"Let's sleep together tonight"
"Why? I have my bed"
"Just 'cause I know we won't have many moment like this in the future. Let's make our time together last"
He smiles and pulls me down. Soon after, everyone else heads to bed. Namjoon and Jin in their double bed-thing. Taehyung and Jungkook end up cuddling together in Tae's bed. And finally Hobi with— unfortunately nobody..... but he isn't any sadder, he's actually pretty happy. Knowing that Jimin and I are doing okay, as well as Namjin and Taekook. He's happy we're happy. That's all that matters...
I end up sleeping really well tonight. Jimin's warmth against my body is extremely relaxing. Knowing that Jimin is in my arms and with me, is the only thing I need to be able to sleep well at night.
He is mine. I am his. Nothing could be more perfect than this.
I love you, Park Jimin

Demon Blade
Ryuken is your average 15-year old high schooler, living his life in an ordinary way, until he comes across a mysterious katana and is pulled into the world of unbelievable supernatural.An anime-inspired passion project of mine, sparked from my childhood love of shounen anime. I have big plans for this world but we'll see if I get to stick around long enough to finish it.Enjoy! Notes: 1. My writing style is mostly script-like with some 3rd person-ish narrative sprinkled in, and it is VERY dialogue-heavy. 2. It can be pretty slow, as I tend to focus more on characters rather than action. 3. Since the story is set in Japan with Japanese characters, I will be using Japanese honorifics whenever the characters are interacting with each other. To learn more about Japanese Honorifics, you can go to this website here. I apologize if I used them wrongly, or if I forgot to use them from time to time, or if it turns you off. 4. I don't have a fixed release schedule as I don't have time to write regularly at the moment. I may update tomorrow or next year. Who knows. I'm like your dad who's gone to the store for some milk. I'll be back. Cover Source
