Are you real? Do you actually eat, sleep, live, and breathe? You all live in Seoul right? You're either practicing or relaxing... right? You're probably finding new ways to contact us.... right? Am I picturing you guys... am I so lonely and hurt that I have to picture 7 men to make me feel better... Do you guys actually know what you're doing to help us? Do you guys not realize how happy you make us... how happy you make me?

Do you know some people eat because you do? Do you know some people stay up all night waiting for you? Do you know some people sleep because you say so? Do you realize why we spend so much money... it's not just because your music is amazing, it's not just because the albums or photo cards look good, it's because you keep us sane. You keep us happy.... you keep us alive.

Namjoon... you exist right? You're probably reading a book, riding your bike, at a park or a museum, maybe leading the members right? You're not just some guy we made up to keep us happy right.. you're not some person we created... right? You're the guy who reminded us you're Rap monster and not dance monster!

You're the guy who said you would shave our eyebrows if we didn't study! You're the man who told us that we taught you how to love yourself!!! So how come all of this doesn't feel real... why do I feel like we made you up so we could study hard, remember our true selves, and love ourself... please show me you're real.

Seokjin the man with great confidence out of this world!! You're real too right?! You actually act goofy but still be mature? You're probably scolding the maknae or cooking right now right.... You're not some imagination telling us to be confident right?

You're not a fever dream reminding us to never care what people say about us... you're an actual man right? The guy with the windshield wiper laugh, the man with dad jokes, the other real maknae, the eldest brother who cares for everyone! But how come it's so hard to see you... you're real... this should be easy right???

Yoongi... the man who can make me cry just by pulling up a picture. We're both in the same boat with mental problems, growing up poor, and having no one to support our true dreams. But you're a real man who taught me to be strong right?? You're actually in seoul.. probably working on your shoulder or making new beats... maybe even showing off that beautiful gummy smile.

If you're real how come I can't meet you... to tell you I'm working hard because of you... to let you know I'm only alive because you still are!! The man with great patience, the man who thinks he's lazy when he's apart of a grammy nominated group! The man who may look to mean to others but is the sweetest man to ever meet... but how come it's so hard for me to thank you in person if you're real?!!!!

Hoseok.. such a sweet guy who can make anyone happy when he steps into the room... I want nothing but to see your smile and hear your contagious laugh! You're real so it should be easy for us to get this right... so how come only certain people can while others cry at night knowing they'll never get a chance.

You're the reason people smile, the reason people laugh, we fell for a guy who barely got love in the beginning and now we show you so much love that it hurts us. Hurts us to wonder if you know, do you know we sing your songs everyday, celebrate your birthday harder than our own!! Show me you're real... let me know you hear me... prove to me you can see our love.. please.

Jimin a true fucking angel to this terrible world that we're making the best out of! Sometimes I can't believe if you're real or an actual angel that was sent to us. People treat you so wrong because you can make anything look beautiful, you have an amazing voice and dancing skills that blow our mind each time! You're so beautiful it hurts!!

How can a human be this beautiful with such a beautiful spirit and personality that can make one fall for you... how are you real? Are you sure you aren't an angel?! A guy who smiles with his eyes, a guy who can flirt so bold but get shy so easy? A guy who can move his body like water and ignore gravity! Jimin... you can't be real... you have to be an angel to be this perfect... prove to me you're real..

Taehyung... a man who's seen as "weird" or "different" but I say you're unique! Your music choices are so amazing.. maybe because I love older songs and classical music! The way you act isn't weird... it's beautiful to me because you are different and aren't afraid to show it. Some people are rude or make jokes because you do things differently but I admire them because I'm seen the same way.

The man who can show off the cutest body smile but also murder us with a straight face, a man who's great at acting... but some days I don't want you to act. What if you're acting to be real.. to show us that being different is the best thing ever! To show us that you can do anything but make sure you're happy first... I want to meet the man who makes me and other army feel special... if you're real... why can't that be easy to do???

Jungkook... the male version of me! I used to think my large eyes were too big but I loved them because of yours. You admire things to detail, the way your eyes sparkle at them is so beautiful. People say it could be your 1st or last life... I can agree but we're just people who admire the beauty in life.

I mean is this real?? I see a guy who wears different clothing that I always adored, a man who goes against standards and doesn't care what people say, a man who shows off his feelings because he's human. But you go into hiding months at a time.. you sometimes don't speak.. just zone out. Are you real? Are you some robot who's actually buffering? You're a man who grew up quicker than most but you're not afraid to show off that childish side at your age.. a man who showed us we don't need to follow standards to be accepted..

yes... you are real. Some days I can't believe it cause I never met you... never won a call... never been to a concert but you're still so real to me. I met you during Fake Love era... a time where I ended up meeting someone who never actually loved me. You 7 men taught me things that I didn't learn from my own parents... it's crazy to think that actually happened. 7 men taught me to love myself... taught me to work hard... smile more... accept being different... being confident... and to keep holding on even if things get hard.

it's been 3 years since I met you and I don't regret it... I'm not as lucky as the K army who lives around you... I'm not as lucky as rich army who can afford many concerts... I'm not easily able to catch your attention on the internet. But that doesn't matter... you may not know my name but you know I exist as army... you know I love you more than life itself!

I'll never forget the 7 men who entered my life and showed me more love than anyone else. You helped me make new friends I can speak to, show me new music I can dance to, but you helped me as a person. Even if this was a fever dream I would still love you all deeply and spread how much I care for and love you... please never forget us... as we will never forget you.

🥺💜

Edited - Still mean it to this day! Over 4 years strong!
