When Jimin knocked at his door, Yoongi had just woken up by it then followed by a frown in his sleepy face. He opened the door massaging his forehead having a bad hangover.

YG : Is it time already? (-yawning-)

JM : Yes, but are you feeling okay?

YG : (-nods-) I am fine. You all go ahead. I will follow you after. (-goes in his room without a reply from Jimin-)

Jimin nodded to himself and went out to others. They started on their way to the Agency after he transferred the words of Yoongi to them.

At the agency

.

.

They were waiting for him in the PD's office but it had already been more than half an hour and there was absolutely no sign of him.

Universe had their future planned. Everything was bound to happen the way it did. Yoongi was following them with a 15 minutes delay but he couldn't enter the agency because of the crowd created by a group of fans representing all ARMYs outside the building.

Armys like everyday since last week were there around that time asking for the agency to answer their questions. And today the number increased massively than it ever was.

They had no source of communication with BTS since last 6 months. All official BTS SNSs- Twitter, Weverse, Fancafè, Vlive etc. were dry with rare posts from them which were also suspected as done by Bighit instead of the members themselve.

They were coming to believe even the "2 months break" Bighit updated about them was fake and just a coating to cover the truth going on with them.

They wanted answers to what went so wrong that they had such abrupt loss of interest from their social life or if they had some health issues which are tried to be kept hidden.

Even the last pictures they had of them were from last night's Airport clicks which also couldn't give them clear answers.

They wanted the reason as to why Bighit was distancing them from the Armys.

Yoongi, seeing that, asked the taxi driver to take him back while he took his phone out to let the members know that he wouldn't be able to make it.

But before the text was sent, his cell went off as he didn't charge it since last day and didn't have the consciousness to do it last night. Was it just a coincidence that he didn't even have his power bank with him?

He sighed and just went back to the dorm without apprehending how bad it could turn merely by his absense in the agency.

Back to the Pd's office, their patience was edging with time and not able to get in touch with him made it worse.

JM : I don't think he is coming anymore.

His indirect taunt hit Taehyung right at his sensitive spot and he replied back.

TH : There might've been something up(that he's not here yet).

JM : (-sarcastically-) You think so? Well, I am glad you do know that something "is" up.

NJ : (-calmly-) Boys, don't make a scene here too.

TH : It is clear who is creating it.

JM : Tae, what is wrong with you!? If it weren't for you, Hyung would've been with us now and we would have been discussing about our next album. Do you even realize that?

TH : (-looking at him with a hurtful stare-) Right. So, what do you want me to do? (-offended and losing it-) Shall I just LEAVE BANGTAN! Would that make it upto you?!

HYUNG LINE : Taehyung-ah!

NJ : Both of you don't say, one more word!

Time not really favoring them, their PD entered the room right at the moment when Taehyung said to leave BTS which felt like a stab to Pd's heart.

He was brokenhearted to see the group who was once Bighit's pride, now fought that bad.

He couldn't believe that it was The BTS, he once created and the boys were the same ones whom he guided from when they were nothing.

PD : (-controlling himself and speaking in a mad tone-) What is going in here?!

All eyes diverted at his sudden remark.

PD : I mean, what the hell is wrong with you seven? What happened to those boys whom I nurtured? (-hurtful tone-) Seriously, now you seem so foreign to me! And "Leave Bangtan"? Well, you all do not deserve to be BTS anymore. You no longer have the strength to carry this title.

They seemed to realize how disappointed their Pd was with them hearing those harsh words from him.

But for the greater percentage, they believed he was saying those only to stop them. They for a fact, took being in BTS for granted and never considered thinking about actually disbanding anytime soon. So, Bang Pd's words didn't seem to have much effect on them which sounded genuine.

PD : You all ar-

Before he completed, his Assistant came in and whispered something to him.

He glared at the boys who had their heads low and fierced out of the office.

J : He must be really upset. I have never seen him like that.

HS : Are you both satisfied hearing those words from him now? (-saying to Vmin-)

They didn't dare to utter any words and were guilty.

Namjoon kept his silence intact comprehending the heaviness Pd's words weighed. He could already see where this was going though the rest rather took it lightly.

Meanwhile, Pd's rage had no bounds seeing the protests held by ARMYs outside their building.

Today's extent was high enough to defeat Bang Pd at his own feild.
How much BTS meant to him after all the fails with other Idol groups in this past, BTS themselves might never know.

Hence once again, he failed. He failed big this time.

He stumbled and took a seat- his blood pressure rising.

ASST. : (-concerned-) PD-nim, Are you okay?

He pressed his hands against his forehead and rubbing it a few times, he looked at his Assistant.

PD : Call Suga.

ASST. : Yes, sir. (-dailing him-) Here. (-giving him after he made the call-)

PD : (-the moment he received-) Wherever you are, come to the agency right now. (-not letting him talk-) And don't take the main entrance. Come with the back one, it's rebuilt. (-ends the call-)

Yoongi sensed his tone being serious enough that he had no choice other than following his words.

YG : (-to himself-) When did they complete rebuilding the back entrance?

He then rushed to the Agency with the little battery in his cell he could charge in the time after he came back.

After Yoongi reached, the PD asked him to follow and they both went to his office.

Namjoon noticed the file Bang PD had in his hand which read as "contract" at the top.

Yoongi entered the room right after him, diverting all the eyes to him in curiosity.

HS : Onh, hyung? What took you so long?

Yoongi, without replying him, took a seat next to Jin since their PD continued.

PD : (-taking his seat and speaks very calmly-) I called him.

His answer confused them more as his cell was told switched off when they tried to reach him.

PD : Do you know, what this is? (-keeps the file on the table-)

Namjoon didn't answer him even though he knew what it was.

PD : You will remember this as you began your journey after signing here. But, since you all don't wanna be a part of BTS anymore, I can't force you otherwise.

They got their spines straight slowly getting to where he was trying to take them.

PD : It's best for you to disband now.

They couldn't accept what he said and looked at him with feared expressions. Namjoon couldn't stay quiet, he knew he had to say something then.

NJ : Pd-nim, I-

PD : (-stopping him-) I have already decided, Namjoon. But, before I invalidate your contract, there's one thing you all have to do.

It was too much for them to comprehend to respond to him. So, he just continued.

PD : In a month, you will have a concluding concert here in Korea where you will announce to your Armys about your Disbandment. Because when there's no BTS, there's no Bighit having your back. We won't meddle with you and your Armys anymore. It's all to you now.

They felt the heaviness of his last sentence with all the responsibilities suddenly thrown at their shoulders.

HS : Pd-nim, please don't say that. We just have minor disagreements. We will sort it out.

PD : When? Hobi, seven months back you all have said the same thing. You had plenty of time. But you took it for granted. Now, it's gone. And this is the only solution for you all. You must disband now, unless you don't want to become bitter enemies for each other. And I seriously cannot afford letting that happen.

Everyone just sealed their lips reflecting on where they went wrong- yet too late for the realization to strike in.

PD : When there are disputes the moment you are together, you need to move out and not keep fighting to stay together only because you had a beautiful past of loving each other. You need to let things go at the time when past still feels precious while reminiscing it, and before it becomes something you wanna erase from your memory forever.

They had no more says against his words for it felt just right. Though it was late and there was nothing left for them but repentance, they no longer had the guts to disagree to the Disbandment.

Fame destroyed their originality. The pure souls they once used to be and the caring heart they used to have for each other.

Success blinded them so much that they turned into toxins to their own bond. Venoming the togetherness for which they succeeded in the past- taking it for granted. They cared to erase the memories of the fragile 'no ones' they once were. The ones, who in their new adult ages, struggled and worned themselves out only to achieve their dreams.

They felt no confidence within them anymore. Slowly, the day they had a dread for seemed to be coming true- the day when they lose themselves to their fame and success.

PD : However, you can still pursue as solo artists through Bighit. I ain't stopping you from that. It's just that you will be called your individual names instead of 'BTS'.

They had cold sweat freezing their spine with each word Bang Pd said- cognizance hitting them one after another.

PD : But, for now. They need answers. You have kept them in dark for too long. (-referring to the Armys-)

Not expecting any answers from them, Bang PD stood up to leave with their contract in his hand.

PD : One month it is. (-leaves the room-)

Namjoon without wasting another second, left the room to meet the PD.

NJ : PD-nim!

He stopped hearing Namjoon's voice and turned to listen what he had to say.

NJ : Pd-nim, can't there be one last shot?

PD : This 'is' your last shot. Give it your best.

NJ : No, I mean. I promise to be a better leader. Please, give us one last chance?

PD : I am tired Namjoon and before you beg to differ, first ask yourself if others want the same thing as you do.

Namjoon couldn't sound his thoughts any longer as he, for the first time, didn't know what they wanted.

PD : Disbandment is the only truth now. The sooner you accept it, the more at ease you are. This concert is the last thing you give your Armys so make it worth the last. You've got one month with each other and your Armys too, work the hardest this time without any disputes. You can all live separately if dorm is too hard to live in. (-dabbing his arm and leaves-)

Namjoon realized how Jimin and Taehyung must've percieved his heedless announcement to live separately.

Something he said mindessly in the past hours made its return to the present with ramifications that were beyond his endurance. Everything one gives out shall sure return in, as they say.

He took long breaths looking around in frustration to control the storm teased inside him. He was disappointed with himself for not being competent enough for his group, for leaving them when they needed to stay together the most.

In a few moments, he walked back to Pd's office with a shrunken face where he saw all the eyes looking at him with expecting eyes- knowing for a given that their leader would sort things out.

He carefully closed the door and sat in front of them with a sulk on his face beofre speaking.

NJ : Boys . . .

Will they think of going individual?
Will they be called greedy for considering solo careers?
