Chapter 21: Meant to be
Wednesday, 13th June 3020.
The sky looks so pretty in this evening. it was a perfect weather, perfect day for their debut. Jungkook takes a deep breathe, feeling the wind on his back. He closes his eyes, trying to remember everything that he gain a thousand years ago.
"Jungkook ah, we're done. You guys are going to go up in 30 minutes." Jackson taps Jungkook's shoulder, informing him that the others are waiting for him at the backstage.
"Guys, this is it. We're changing the Music Industry for good. We're bringing back the soul of music. Believe in everything that we've got. Don't bother think about the result, give our best and let the heaven decide the rest." Namjoon smiles, trying to comfort his members who looks a little bit nervous. They have been secretly practising for months just for today.
"The cameras are up, in 30 minutes, I will hack the line to digi-telev at the centre of the town so that the whole city can witness this historical day." Jackson said, nods his head before doing his job back.
"Let's go higher and higher. We're the one and only BTS!" Namjoon shouts and puts his hand in the middle. The other members smiles and put their hands on top of their leader's hand and do their usual shout out.
30 minutes have passed and the boys are ready in their position. Slowly, the old stage in Skydome rose up in the air. Their music is being played all over the city. Jungkook starts singing his part in 'Born Singer'. His voice echoed all over the city. Almost makes everyone stop what they're doing, searching for where the voice is coming from.
The members continues to sing, didn't care of what will happen after that. The platform is getting higher and higher, showing each and every members in the sky, singing their heart out. The crowd begin to fill the venue. Lots of people starts gathering around the boys, wondering what is this music seeping through their heart.
Little by little, everyone starts taking their place at the Skydome. Some of them even rode their airbike and air vehc to get a closer look at the boys. The music and lyrics are filling the space. They didn't even realize that tears are flowing freely from their eyes. They starts to murmur, wondering who the boys are with mesmerizing voices.
"Even if there's only one person out there who would listen to our song, we would be honoured to sing it for you. For our Army" Namjoon speaks before letting Jungkook to sing.
Jungkook nods his head. He starts singing a song, a newly written song by him, Namjoon and Yoongi entitled "a thousand year". They put all their heart and soul into the song, singing with all their heart.
Once the song ended, the boys didn't expect the crowd to cheer for them. All those emotions filled on the stage seems unreal. It was just like a dream. A dream where they went back to a thousand years ago, singing for their army.
But when they're about to sing the third song, a loud sound of siren cab be heard from afar. Namjoon glances at his right side, just to see a troop of bot-cops coming towards their ways. Jackson's eyes widen when he sees the bot-cops aiming their electrical guns towards them.
[You Guys are under arrest for trespassing the national treasure and for using illegal music in this country! Surrender yourselves before we open fire!]
The crowds shouts in protest. They didn't want the show to end. Everyone starts to complain at those bot-cops to just let them perform. But when one of the bot-cops opens fire in the air, everyone stays shut.
"Run!" Jackson shouts and jumps off the stage. He runs all he could, but unfortunately the bot-cops are faster. They manage to hold Jackson down, shoot him with the lecture gun. His screams are so loud that causes panic all over the place.
"Jimin hyung!" Jungkook reach out his hand, trying to grab Jimin's hand in his. Jimin runs towards Jungkook with fears on his face. But when he's about to reach for Jungkook, he feels his body being tackled down from behind. Seconds after that, he could feel a strike of electric running through his body. Jimin shouts as loud as he can in pain.
"Jimin!!!!" Jungkook said running towards Jimin. He pushes the bot-cops away from him, making the bot falls down the stage. He quickly places Jimin on his lap, trying to wake him up.
[There's nowhere to run]
Jungkook glances at his left side and see another bot-cop, aiming his gun on Jungkook. Jungkook's eyes widen, he wasn't scared of his safety. He was scared of Jimin's. He tried to stand up, carrying Jimin in his arm. He tried to run, but the bot-cop is way faster than him. The last thing Jungkook can remember is the feeling of electric flowing through his veins and his instinct to protect Jimin.
-------------------
".....kook. Jungkook!"
Jungkook opens his eyes, he could still feel the pains in his body. Once he opens his eyes, he can see all his hyungs are right in front of him, tied up. He tried to move but both of his hands and feet are tied up too.
"..... So we were caught?" Jungkook laid his head back, closing his eyes.
"Yeah. But it's worth it" Namjoon chuckles a bit. Soon after that, laughter could be heard in the room. True, they're doing something illegal, but it's totally worth it after seeing how the crowd reacts to their music.
[The capers have been caught last night and the netizens are complaining about it. Petitions have been made for the performers last night who seems to be a part of the capers, to be released immediately. Those performers last night brought the life of Music back to life, netizens are complaining at the government for restraining them. The question now is, where's the justice to this?]
"Did you hear that? We did it... We did it guys" Yoongi chuckles, lowering his head when he heard the reporter talks about them through the pro-tel.
Jungkook nods his head when he heard the interview on the protel just now. He takes a glance at Jimin who's smiling at him.
"Good morning boys"
"Mr. President!" Jin shouts when he sees the president is standing right in front of his eyes.
"Pleasure to meet you again, Mr. Kim SeokJin, Mr Kim Taehyung." the president nods his head at both of them and takes a glance at the other boys. He orders the bot-cops to loosen the rope on both of their hands and feet. Once they are free, the bot-cops takes them to the president's room.
The boys are still wondering why are they were brought to the president's room.
"Trespassing the Korean's National Treasure, illegally performing illegal music, fighting back with the bot-cops.... Wow, you guys did a lot of crime here." the president raised his eyebrow, looking at each of them.
"But... You guys have made a huge change in our Music Industry. Just in one night. People are screaming for your music. You have opened our eyes for what real music is. I know it's almost sound impossible. But the truth is, thanks to your friend right there who broadcast it to the whole nation, people begin to realise how bad our Music Industry nowadays and this is the music that we want. For the sake of our nation."
The boys' eyes wide open with that statement from the president. They can't believe it.
"Is this a prank? Are you going to skin us alive and brainwash the people that we don't exist?" Taehyung knits his eyebrows. He can't believe they really did change the perspective of music in just one night?
"In exchange to your crime, you guys are supposed to expand our Music Industry. I don't care how you do it, just bring the music alive."
"Agreed! We will do it." Yoongi and Namjoon said in unison. They don't even care what will happen in the future, their dreams are rolling right in front of their eyes and they would not let this chance slip away.
"Then it's a deal!" the president reach out his hand for a handshake and the boys gladly accept them. Once they signed the agreement, the boys are set free.
"...... Hyung! What is the name of our president again?" Jungkook asks in confusion. The way he talks, the way he moves is quite familiar to him.
"You didn't know our president's name???? It's Yoon Jae Hyuk" Hoseok shakes his head, disbelief.
"I know! I just--he's seems familiar...." Jungkook pouts. Of course he knows his name, but he just need confirmation on something.
"Well, to be exact, that is his name when he was adopted by the Yoon's family. His real name is supposed to be.... Ummmm Bang Si Hyuk if I wasn't mistaken" Jimin said with a smile. Hoseok and Taehyung gaps in shocked.
"How did you know about this?"
"Well, I read a lot. Besides, that information is leaked anyway." Jimin shrugs his shoulder. Jungkook stops in his track, he watches Jimin arguing with Hoseok and Taehyung about the history of their president in amusement. He takes a last glance at the blue house, smiling at the image of the president in front of him.
"Bang PD nim, we meet again. I guess nothing can really separate Bangtan after all"
Jungkook runs towards his friends, enjoying the moments with them. Months ago, Jungkook would never imagine that he would be doing everything that he did with these boys. He always imagine himself as the same boring Jungkook with the same schedule, the same routine. But he guess, the universe have something else planned for him and he's thankful for that.
He regrets nothing of everything that he did before. Nothing of it.
