ARMY didn't take long to find every trace of you in social media and your boyfriend was livid at the influx of private messages wanting access, questioning and threatening. For his sake and yours, you deactivated your accounts, which he felt bad about. He was stressed out of his mind by now, not that you weren't worried too, but this was definitely harder on him due to his  level of exposure.

For some reason, the negativity always overthrows the positivity and the happy messages on BTS' accounts got drowned by the nasty ones even if there was not an overwhelming majority of negativity. Maybe I should go on V Live and talk to ARMY - Tae said thinking out loud - a statement won't be enough, I just know it. You frowned and hurried to stop him - I'm not sure it's a good idea, both you and ARMY need to cool down. You don't want to say something you'll regret. He looked at you with his eyebrows furrowed and nodded in agreement.

He rested his face on his hands overwhelmed by all sorts of emotions. Hey, Tae, it'll be okay, it's the initial shock - you said crouching next to him on his desk's chair, rubbing his arm trying to comfort him. You wished you could do something so he'd stop hurting this badly.

It wasn't long until the rest of the band found out what had happened. They came to the bedroom and sat down on the bed and floor, having a long talk about how they would proceed. There was no possibility to dismiss this as a rumor and they agreed hiding it further wouldn't be good, specially considering how they had been targeting Taehyung lately.

Tae resisted, but the members insisted he stayed home and tried to relax. Locking himself in his studio and working 12 hrs. a day as he had done lately wasn't going to do any good to him. He laid against the back of the chair and rested his head looking at the ceiling. You straddled him and started kissing his stretched out neck, desperately trying to distract him.

What are you doing? - he asked sighing frustrated and you answered - just try to relax, please? - you begged him full of concern. He raised his head to look at you and he could see the worry in your eyes, he was tense, but his gaze softened. He did his best just to make you feel better, not really for himself. He laid his head back and closed his eyes.

You got up and kissed his lips softly, he could feel you smiling against his skin as you went back to his neck. After a while he pulled you back on his lap and kissed you hungrily. You chuckled, it was working despite his lack of faith in it. He nibbled on your neck carefully trying not to leave any marks that could make things worse, he couldn't help but listen to the thoughts on the back of his head.

A couple of days later the statement confirming your relationship was released and Taehyung thought he was going to lose it, but surprisingly, that took a whole lot of pressure off his back as the rumors stopped at least. He tried to focus on those ARMYs who were happy for him, he scrolled through Weverse, which seemed to be the safest platform, unlike Twitter.

He posted a photo update of just his hand making a finger heart, with a short message thanking those who supported him and announcing he'd do a V Live one of these days. Many fans left excited messages and waited for it eagerly. He wasn't sure when, but he was certain he wanted to do it. He didn't care about the press, he cared about his followers, he wanted things to be clear to shut up the haters who were spreading false details. To get everyone off his back.

After a few days, he resolved to make a live from his studio. You decided to sit on the couch to a side quietly for moral support. He discussed what he'd say with Big Hit earlier that day and they all agreed on it. He logged into V Live and looked at you for a second before starting to record, you could tell he was ready to do this, but he was still rather nervous. You sent him a butterfly kiss and he smiled widely for the first time in weeks, he got up to press his lips against yours needing the sort of comfort only you could make him feel.

He hurried back to his desk and looking a little more relaxed he started the video and waited for ARMY to gather for a couple minutes. Looking at the comments attentively, you silently kept an eye on him, seeing how his eyes darted from side to side reading what you hoped were positive comments.

Your heart started to beat fast and for the first time you were the one feeling extremely uneasy. It's like everything suddenly sunk in, he was going to talk about you to what...the 2,000,000 people that usually come online to see him? You gulped. Tae side glanced at you with a raised eyebrow, noticing something was wrong, but he had to stay put.

He spun his chair all the way around and back playfully in an attempt to have a better look at you without looking too obvious. He could now see you were scared, he furrowed his eyebrows and looked down for a second so no one could read his face. Looking back up he smiled tightly, it was time to talk.

So, ARMY, it's been a long time - he said not being sure where to start, the screen was filled by purple hearts and messages sending love and saying they had missed him. He smiled sincerely at their words. He cleared his throat as he saw the questions were starting to pop up more often. You've probably seen the statement by now - he started without taking his eyes from the comments on the computer's screen. You were staring at him without blinking, frozen in panic.

There's someone you probably want to hear about - he said carefully picking his words - so I want to share with you a little something I've been working on, since all of this started coming out. You looked at him confused as he rolled his chair to the keyboard behind him. He placed his fingers on the keys and looked back at the screen with a small smile.

He spun around playfully once more to take a look at you and made a heart with his hands, held it towards you and wriggled his eyebrows. You only saw a flash of it as he spun around, but it was enough to confuse you further. His hands hovered over the keyboard as he took a deep breath. He delicately pressed the keys and started playing a soft and sweet melody that you'd never heard before.

After a little intro, he started singing with that mesmerizing voice you loved so much, words of adoration for you coming out of his mouth. You couldn't help but gasp, quickly covering your mouth, but it couldn't be heard over the music anyway. You held your hand there as your eyes filled up with tears, you weren't even sure why you were about to cry. He beautifully summed up his feelings for you through the lyrics, reciting a little story to ARMY. Asking for them to be happy for him, for them to support him and protect him and the most precious thing he had. Your heart.

He rolled his chair back to the desk facing to your side and looking into your eyes intensely. When he saw tears running down your face he pouted with a mix of amusement and profound love. That gaze you knew so well. He stopped in front of the screen once more and fixed his eyes on the comments without saying a word.

You could see his smile growing wider as his eyes went through the messages. You finally put your hand down and felt relief at his face, something was going well. His boxy smile made an appearance and your heart swelled at the sight of it, you'd been longing to see it again. You smiled widely to yourself, his happiness being contagious.

Thank you, ARMY, saranghae - he said with a cheerful voice as he kept smiling at the camera. The fans were gushing over his smile, how could they not, they missed it too. Seeing him happy made them happy, eased their doubts about whether he was doing okay or depressed. Whether his silence meant he was struggling or just fine. Moved by his song and his smile, they expressed their good wishes, promised to protect him and love him just as much. Suddenly the haters didn't matter anymore.

He turned around facing you, but he didn't keep spinning. He stared at you smirking and low enough for the camera not to catch it, he motioned with his hands for you to come closer. Your eyes widened, what was he trying to do? Just lunge yourself at me - he whispered and you looked at him bewildered. He turned briefly to place his hand on the mouse and looked at you, he nodded once and you pounced over him without a second thought.

With that ARMY got a flash of you landing on him, his chair rolling back violently from the impact and him laughing amused as he clicked the mouse and cut the live instantly, being the biggest, meanest tease. He laughed airily while staring into your eyes, any tension being washed away in an instant. You crashed your lips on his and he responded to your kiss eagerly, both your smiles pressing on each other's.

I wasn't sure about how to write this second part, but I'm really happy with how it came out in the end. I hope you're swept off your feet by the fluff, hehehe.
