"good luck, mr park," nia smiled, holding his daughter as she stepped back and evie waved at her father, squealing as it was still the first time she was seeing him wearing all glittery and attractive clothes just like the rest six of her uncles.

jimin smiled at her waving at the baby and took a deep breath, his eyes holding some tears in the fear of the huge possibility that everything might just crash down and the group could recieve a tremendous backlash. the members had gathered around him, making a circle just like the old days and hold their hands in the center.

"bang bangtan!" the leader said.

"bangtan!" the members chorused together, riling up jimin's anxeity to a great extent where he went back to questioning his decision of returning back into bts.

"ready jimin?" jin asked, rubbing the said member's back and smiled.

"no," jimin shook his head, killing jin's smile at once, "i don't know... it's a bad idea..."

"it's not, don't think too much." the elder assured, hugging jimin and patted his back, "you trust us right?"

"more than myself,"

"then it's not a bad idea," jin smiled, "let's go,"

"yes, a lot of people missed you," taehyung nodded with a grin, holding his best friend's hand and pulled him with the maknae. "we're gonna killed it!"

"yes!" jungkook cheered, hugging jimin and taehyung together, "evie's cheering for us too, we're definitely gonna do great!"

jimin smiled at them, unable to thank them yet as it was already time to get on the stage and perform once again for their beloved fans. the cheers intensified and the beads of sweat on jimin's forehead too. making their way into their position in the dark, jimin felt a hand on the back of his neck, giving a gentle massage briefly, "don't worry hyung, we're all with you,"

jimin smiled at the voice of the maknae, nodding his head and adjusted his mic, standing at the back according to the first formation. the lights turned on and the fans started screaming on top of their lungs, chanting their names and the group's name, until the music started playing and the boys parted ways giving the audience a good view of their seventh member which was once missing.

the crowd felt quiet for a moment, arising a deep fear inside jimin and the rest of the members, though it was covered with even louder cheers, sending chills down jimin's body as he could now hear his name too in the fanchants.

•••

the performance went well and jimin was happy hearing the fans' voice again after a long time. he missed these heartfelt cheers and performances for his fans. the boys gather in a line in the center of the stage, drinking some water and smile at the audience who mostly looked confused for most artists don't stay back to talk with the fans unless it's a fansign or a similar event.

"2, 3, hello we are," namjoon started, "bts," the boys bowed with him, smiling at the fans.

"today's a special day, as you can see we have our member back... jimin," he said, glancing at jimin who smiled briefly, looking down, "a lot happened in the last few months which you all didn't know. it was for personal reasons that some of us took big decisions and messed some things, worked to get ourselves back together. it's a been very... hard,"

"yes," yoongi nodded, "and today on our first show of our new single and the following album, we want you all to listen to us- to listen to what all happened and why we did somethings,"

namjoon patted jimin's back, getting a nod from him as he took a deep breath and smiled, "hellow army, long time... i'll start with saying sorry," he said, "i'm really sorry for leaving like that, even my members didn't like the decision... a lot of you were concerned too, some were mad, some were upset with me, some left the fandom and some... well, i don't know. but i guess today, i'm gonna tell you what made me come to such a difficult decision. it wasn't easy for me at all, the boys i call my family- y'know leaving them, my fans, everything. it was hard.

"i really don't know how to tell you this... i have a daughter..." he said, taking a deep breath and paused for a moment, staring at the fans who looked too shocked to react, "yes, i have a daughter. park jimin has a daughter. remember when jungkook got a picture leaked with a baby and a man? that was me and my daughter." he chuckled lightly, biting his lower lip, "she was fifteen months old when i realised that i wasn't able to keep up with my responsibilities as a father because of hectic job. she needed me because she has no one else. i never got married, don't ask me why or about her mother. my child's mother is probably happy with whoever she is right now, and i honestly don't wanna bring her in this.

"you all must be having a lot of questions which is very genuine, but please give me time i'll eventually answer them with time. for now, i want you to know that your idol, park jimin, made some stupid mistakes in his life almost gave up but then he was gifted with a cute little angel, and these seven guys who helped me through a lot."

"and me," jungkook cleared his throat making the members laugh and jimin nodded, giving the maknae a hug.

"and the biggest thanks to jungkook." jimin said, "i wouldn't be here if it weren't for him,"

the audience cheered again, clapping and waving their army bombs, making jimin smile. he kneeled down with teary eyes, doing a full bow to the audience, "thank you... thank you so much, i love you guys more than my life,"

"i have a surprise," jungkook grinned, glancing backstage at the manager and the babysitter beside him, dimming the lights when he jogged back.

the lights turned on again and this time jungkook stood there with a baby in his arms, getting a loud cheer from the crowd. jimin gasped, still on his knees as jungkook left her down and she looked around for a while, studying the place to locate her daddy.

"dadda..." her voice mumbled softly, almost breaking into a cry, hearing the loud the cheers that startle her each time the fans do it.

"yes sweetheart, c'mere," jimin said, opening his arms and evie waddled to him quickly, "hey my girl got scared huh?" he patted her back and stood up, "they're our armys, say hi to everyone,"

"daddy" evie kept sticking to him, not letting go her tiny grip of her hug.

"yes, princess? daddy's right here." he assured her and nods for jungkook to come, "look, kookie's there too,"

"army she's my best friend, you should see us together," jungkook said, holding evie's hand and takes her from jimin, "hey, evie say hi army,"

"dadda koo... evie go'ome,"

"yeah, we'll go home, but say hi first,"

"hi," evie mumbled and the fans went quiet wanting to more of her cute voice, "aa'my,"

"yes, good job," jimin praised, "tell them your name,"

"baby!" evie giggled.

"that's not your name," jimin chuckled, "what's my baby's name?"

"evie!" she clapped her hands, making the everyone break into a chuckle, cheering for her.

"yes, now say thank you army,"

"t'ank-oo," evie nodded once,

"army," jimin added,

"aamy,"

"good job," he clapped for her along with the rest of the boys and the crowd making evie laugh and clap as well. "reall,y thank you for accepting us and showing so much love. i'm so so grateful gor everything. love you all," he said, holding his daughter and smiled at the fans, waving at them.

"say bye evie," jungkook told the baby when it was time for them to go back and smiled, waving at the fans.

"bye-bye!" evie chirped.
