NJ : Boys, the concert is going to be the last gift we give our Armys. So, let's make it the best night for them atleast.

None of them dared to sound their thoughts when they should actually have spoken up- to fight for their unity. But they felt it to be a losing battle and kept silence. They rather wanted to make the conclusion the best of BTS, so that Armys could proudly let them go.

Namjoon, however, didn't mention about moving out and so wasn't the need to, as they were trying to stay put and refrain from unnecessary argues, although were slightly off time to be civilized and mature up their debates.

Few days later

.

.

They quietly started working for the time being as the songs were selected from all the albums they had until 2019.

The boys hardly conversed during the practices. They just carried on to honestly give it their 100%- avoiding to let their heart stick to the fact that this was going to be the last time they would perform as BTS.

Mid-way through the month, with the members being more actively posting selcas on Twitter, the same lead to a controversy to one of them.

The JiRia couple were hardly judged and criticized at for being rumored as feasibly knotted to a romantic relationship.

JIMIN's POV

I read all the news talking about me and Aria dating in disguise. Fans apparently caught the selcas I posted(from the farm-house) which had the same background as one of the Aria's recent posts.

A few clicks even surfaced from the day when we met outside Suga Hyung's solitary house. Although it was hard to tell from the blurred pictures, they still believed it was her.

Her group, QUIN debuted few days later we came back from the trip. Since then, I didn't hassle her with us dating as she was dead busy and I also wanted her to focus on her career.

It did upset me seeing all the repulsive titles people gave us, but I couldn't do anything about it as my agency was strictly ignoring the rumors- not comforming either way.

Initially, I didn't care much about what people thought or said about us.

However, I had my bar exceed with offence when she got accused of using my fame to get hers.

People just blatantly criticized her as 'not talented enough' and named her a slut for seducing me into being "BTS Jimin's Girlfriend" : a title to get herself in the spot light.

I was infuriated to read nasty about her and could no longer let this slide. Thus, wanted to comfirm dating and make a statement that people have wrong assumptions about us. And to openly say, that we were a proud couple.

With the concert pressure, I wanted to keep us aside but I couldn't let her suffer alone anymore and willed to have her as my priority atleast for once.

I called her out on a date tonight which she readily agreed. I wanted to make her feel special as I never did that before even when I asked her to be my girlfriend. So, I prepared something for her and hoped that she likes it.

Since I wanted my agency to confirm about us by tomorrow, I did all I could to persuade PD-nim about it.

He complied with my plead on the basis that we were going to Disband anyways, so there was no fear for BTS to be attacked by it.

After the hours of practice, exhaustion took the best of us. Yet I managed to gather myself up and go to my date with a fresh face.

None of the members knew about it. We no longer took interest in each other's life straight on face. We grew foreign on the outside, confining our true hearts from reaching the other. But all cared deep inside and I knew that for a fact.

I just quietly left the dorm with only Hobi hyung knowing that I was going out.

It was the first time, I was meeting her after the trip. Even though we weren't at our best times, yet I was excited for this date- the only thing that brought a smile on my face.

On the date

.

.

I looked around the table set with candles and flowers in the private dining hall I reserved for us today.

For the third time, I took out the pendant I bought for her and caressed it with a smile. It had a ring hanging with a "forever" engraved in it.

Quite clichè and typical it was, but I couldn't find anything better for her in the short time I had.

As I heard a waiter's voice guiding someone the way to my room, I dumped the pendant in my coat pocket in panic.

It was her- the angel of my life. I smiled wide as I stood up and pulled the chair like a gentleman for her to sit, taking her coat to hang it away.

ARIA : (-smiles-) Thank you.

ME : My pleasure.

She had a concerned face which was quite predictable why. So I, wanting to lift up her mood, thought it would best to give her the gift then.

I got up from my seat and walked around the table till I was standing right behind her seat. Her eyes tailed me until she was cut off the view.

ARIA : Where are you going?

I didn't reply and unclicked the hook of the chain and swung it in front her face. Descending my hands down smoothly, I lined it on her neck.

ARIA : (-caressing the ring-) Oh my god! Why are you doing this? (-feeling touched-)

ME : Indeed, a Quin(queen) needs to be treated like one. (-placing a peck on her head-)

I then went back to my seat in front of her only to notice some fat tears flooding her eyes.

ME : (-holding her hands-) Hey, don't cry. I can do small things like this if that makes you happy. (-moving forward to wipe her tears-)

Her leaning in for me to get a good access of her face made me chuckle hard.

ME : (-sitting back-) You're such a baby. Anyways, shall we order now?

She nodded cutely while sniffing in making me awe at her.

I gave my thoughts a shuffle to stop them from drooling over at how adorable she was.

After some time, as we were half way eating, I noticed her being spaced out and not mentally present with me.

ME : Aria, are you okay? (-trying to change the topic, seeing her cluesless-) I mean, with the debut and all. You are not stressing too much, right?

ARIA : (-smiles-) Yeah, it's alright. Don't worry.

Her smiles felt halfhearted which made me keep my fork and knife on the table and have a good conversation with her first.

ARIA : What's wrong? Is the steak raw?

ME : It's fine. But, I am asking about you.

ARIA : Huh? Mine is good too.

ME : I mean, what's bothering you? You seem really concerned about something.

ARIA : (-takes a bite-) Oh, no no. I am fine.

ME : Aria, I can feel you being uneasy. Please, tell me what's bothering you.

She stopped eating any further and had a clear gloom in her face- slowly removing the mask of fake smiles.

ME : (-softly-) You can tell me. (-trying to make her comfortable-) Hold my hand.

ARIA : (-hesitantly takes it-) Oppa~ (-after a silence-) I don't think we should keep dating anymore. I mean, (-close eyes-) Let's break up.

Though hypothetically, I felt like someone deliberately pushed me off a cliff knowing that I had acrophobia.

ME : What?

ARIA : Please, don't take this the negative way. I... (-holds her tears in-) I just can't handle this anymore.

ME : Are you referring to the rumors? It shouldn't matter until I know your true intensions. Aria, don't be so irrational. If you react to the false accusations, it would just prove them right.

ARIA : And comfirming to be dating won't help prove them wrong either.

ME : Okay fine. But, (-voice breaking-) ...why do we have to break up? We can just ignore the rumors for now and they will eventually disappear with time.

ARIA : (-tears rolling uncontrollably-) It feels deceiving. (-crying silently-) I don't see a point of us dating if we cannot proudly admit it.

ME : And I don't see why because of what people think, we have to break up.

ARIA : (-sniffs making her grip on my hands tight-) Oppa~ please try to understand me.

I had no words leaving my mouth, and I just stared at our hands holding each other with my heart aching and yearning to cry out loud.

It was more hurtful to see her crying but not having the strength to wipe them away was frustrating.

ME : (-low and soft caring voice-) Don't cry...

She tried to control herself while sniffing and we had a moment of silence, not wanting to let go of our hands.

I caressed the back of her palm with my thumbs, comprehending that it might be the last time I feel them against mine.

The silence was suddenly cut off by a call in her cellphone which she ignored and let it ring.
When it started ringing for the second time, I let go of her hands and asked her to pick it up.

ARIA : (-over the call-) Yes, Manager-nim? (-looking at me-) Ah, okay~ (-ends the call-)

It was so tranquil that I could clearly hear what her manager transferred to her. He was here to pick her up but she didn't utter a word about leaving after the call. She just silently sat there.

After a moment's thought and stoning my heart, I broke the silence.

ME : Leave.

ARIA : (-sorry eyes-) Oppa...

ME : Before I change my mind to let you go, just leave!

I stood up from my seat promptly with my last word and turned around to face the wall as I couldn't afford to watch her leave.

ARIA : (-takes her coat-) Thank you for everything and-..(-about to cry-) I am sorry again, Oppa~ (-walks away-)

As I felt her gone, I squinted my eyes supporting myself with my right hand slammed against the wall.

ME : (-to myself-) Please, don't go...

After a few minutes, I, in rage with myself, took my coat from the hanger and left the room.

??? : Uh, excuse me, sir!

I stopped and looked back to see a waiter coming towards me in a run.

WAITER : Here, you left this on the table. (-giving me a pendant-)

I felt the knife of hurt penetrating deeper into my heart seeing the "forever" engraved on the ring hanging from the pendant. I thanked him and left clutching it in my fist.

I kept staring at it as I was on my way back to the dorm in a Taxi.

{...She didn't keep it on even for an hour...}

I was so lost that I didn't even realize we had already reached the dorm.

Paying the fare, I went in with no one in the hall- everybody in their rooms. My wrenching heart screamed for just anyone to hear me but there was no movement as if I lived in the house all alone.

It was terrifying to even think that this was going to be true very soon when I return home and there's none of them present.

Upstairs in our room, I found Hobi hyung sleeping probably because he was tired. So I, without making any sounds, laid on my bed.

I was hurt to an extent no tears formed in my eyes. It felt hypnotic- not having the conscience to get changed first, it was paralysing numbing down all my senses.

.

Next day

.

.

Bearing through with the heavy heart, I was totally dazed out during practice and got all the choreographies wrong.

I was making mistakes even without intending to.

HOBI : (-looking at me through the mirror while doing his steps-) Jimin, what's wrong? Where are you so lost?

ME : Sorry, hyung. I will do it correctly this time.

We were practicing "I need you" and I was doing okay until the chorus hit in and I messed up again.

HOBI : (-stops dancing-) Jimin-ah! This won't work. Let's take a break.

I nodded apologetically, panting hard as other members sat on the floor drinking water and wiping their sweats off. 

Excusing myself, I went to the restroom to wash my face.
After giving it a good splash, I stared at my reflection in the mirror with cold water droplets dripping down my face of which one felt warm against my skin compared to the others.

There I had my peak, and broke into a hard sob with my head bowed down.

I sobbed bad, with my breath rhythms going insanely uneven when after a while, I felt two arms wrap around me from back.

It was . . .

"Since when did I give pain to you, you're going further away...
You're hurt 'cause you're mine~"
