Fatigue washes over her in small patterns, yet it takes on an immense speed only a few moments later; causing her head to jerk down rapidly.

It's about to hit the hard wood of the table, until a firm yet gentle hand holds it up by her forehead.

She snaps out of it instantly, blinking many times to comprehend the situation. Looking up, she gazes at her concerned and slightly irritated member.

"I don't recall ordering the limited-edition-life-sized-Jeon-Jungkook-extrafigurine-3000 to my studio."

Her flat and sarcastic remark doesn't cause his stern expression to falter like it usually does. Not at all. The said boy's arms are crossed over his chest, unimpressed. "Ever since you got your own studio, you haven't been home. It's been two days."

"...You can count?" She frowns, horrified

"Ahri—" He rolls his eyes, sighing.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it." Yona chuckles, fawning her hands up and down in order to calm him down.

On her usual striking features is only exhaustion to be seen. It's like the tiredness has soaked up the natural glow of her appearance like a sponge and it filled it up with a waterfall of wearisome responsibilities.

To say the least, Jungkook is worried.

Although Ahri shrugs about it as her friend addresses it in prominent concern. "Chill. The others always spend countless of time in their studios, and no one complains. So why is it a problem when I do it?"

"No, Ahri, everyone does complain." Jungkook's eyebrows furrow slightly. "You're just asleep when it happens. Like, always."

At that, she can only muster out a blink. "Oh."

"Let's head home now." He takes hold on her wrist. "Seokjin-hyung said that—"

"I don't wanna go," she whines, rolling her eyes lazily. Yona tries to wriggle out of his hold, but her member has seemed to increase his physical strength in the past few years, which causes her attempt to fail.

A swift sigh escapes her as he continues on dragging her out of her well-deserved studio. "Dude, I have to write the next songs for our next album. It's about to be 2017! I need to continue working on the lyrics—"

"When was the last time you ate something?"

In a swift manner, Jungkook turns around and faces her, mere inches away. Ahri grows silent because of his question—more likely, accusation.

No response is muttered out of her usual loudmouth. He exhales an elongated sigh, before dragging her out of the building and back home.

As time has severely changed in the past couple of months, so did their home. Their most previous album is the biggest achievement they've ever had, and so their manager announced on how they had to leave their old home and move into a new house.

It was rather relieving than upsetting. Although many memories were shared into those few walls—admittedly, more negative than positive—the group was happy that they didn't have share an entire room with eight people in it anymore.

Also, the change of place is another symbol of their great success.

"Yona!"

The eldest member exclaims as soon as he sees her tired self walk through the door alongside Jungkook. He smiles at her warmly—not throwing the usual lectures into her face like he used to.

He finally understood on why she does the things she does. Even if it may not be healthy or generally good, he knows that he shouldn't always interfere in her life.

"Hyung," her light voice called out, obvious exhaustion built onto her features like cement.

Months turned her more fatigued, more worn-out. All of her members were alarmed on how more serious she took this job of hers—an enormous contrast to her actually lighthearted and carefree personality.

Seokjin was more than appalled. He was beyond himself, really. Those strong emotions of his caused him to lash out on her for many, many times.

And that day's slander was her breaking point.

"I understand you caring for me and all." Her voice was strong, detached. Ahri clenched her fists tightly whilst keeping her gaze on the floor, jaw clenched. "But I need to do what I need to do. And if that means working on songs till the sun reaches out in the morning, then so be it."

She looked up at him, deeply set eyes staring right back into his. There are so many emotions telling a story of theirs, and Yona is the main protagonist in that tragical fairy-tail.

"Everyone is allowed to work longer than needed, so why is it not the same with me? Why am I not equal?"

"Are you hungry?" He rushes to her side, rubbing her sore shoulder to soothe the pain. "I made some dumplings. Let's go eat them."

With a tight smile, she nods lightly and enters the kitchen with her eldest member beside her.

"Gee, thanks for asking me, too, hyung!" Jungkook calls out sarcastically, huffing. Nevertheless, he whizzes behind them to gain a seat at the wide table.

Sweet chatter fills in the comfortable dinnertime—though some members aren't present due to them still being in their studios.

"How is the songwriting going, Ahri?" Namjoon asks, taking a sip of his drink.

His question pulls her out of her own universe she was so stuck in, looking up. All she does is nod. But as she notices him expecting a verbal answer, she says, "It's going well. I've finished three tracks today, and Yoongi-hyung helped me with some beats. It's my solo-song I have struggles with."

"Oh," Namjoon blurts out. "Do you want me to help you out? We can go to my studio after tomorrow's practice."

"Okay," is all she responds, nodding slowly.

They notice her getting quiet again; indicating that she isn't in the mood to talk right now. And they accept that. It has become accustomed at this point—her wanting to be left alone—which is unfortunate in many ways, yet her members respect it.

Well, that is until Taehyung speaks up from her right direction, nudging the girl's side to gain her attention. "You wanna go out and eat ice-cream? There's a nice place around the neighborhood that Jimin and I wanted to visit."

"Thanks, but I think I'll just head to sleep." Her head keeps being casted on the table, picking on her dumplings; analyzing them in some mundane way.

Thus, a light pout forms on the boy's features. "Are you sure? All you've been doing is hang in the studio, practice, or sleep. Don't you wanna try out something new?"

"It's fine."

Alone in her room, Ahri stares up at the ceiling, blinking her empty eyes every then and there.

Things have changed severely in the span of a single year. Yona's thoughts trigger memories and let them spin freely in her head—the chaotic and colorful turns illustrating a contrast to the hollow, dark room.

"Good morning, Ahri." Si-Hyuk greeted her, earning a bow and a smile from the girl. "The Most Beautiful Moment In Life has been a huge success, and I'm fond of how the songs turned out."

Yet her enthusiastic demeanor fell as soon as he continued speaking. "But that success also, unfortunately, indicates that you guys will have to be more professional in front of the media and public in general."

"I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, Yona."

And she did. A saddened expression took upon her features, looking down in a frown with tight lips.

Slowly, she responded with a nod. "Of course."

Because of her overly pensive self, she doesn't notice the door of her bedroom opening and someone coming in. That is until that person speaks up.

"What's wrong?"

She flinches slightly, widened eyes casting toward her member, tensing up. But as Ahri notes that it's Jimin, she relaxes again. "Nothing."

"Girl, don't lie to me." He sighs, rolling his eyes while stepping toward her. Taking a seat on her bed, which is the lower bunk-bed. She actually wanted to have the upper one, but she lost the game of rock-paper-scissors to Jungkook. They played it nine times, because it kept on being a tie.

Though Jimin doesn't say anything, he sends her a concerned look; his eyes speaking volumes.

Tearing her sight away from him, she looks back up at the ceiling, simply blinking. "My entire life flashes in front of me in flashbacks." All she does is blink, apathetic. "Everything that has happened till now. Events from a week ago, three months—nine years, even. I remember everything so vividly. I even remember what you ate for lunch 28 days ago. Rice and pork. You didn't like it, but you pretended that you did because Taehyung made it."

"Sometimes, you can't tell someone how you feel, though. Hell, you can't even understand it yourself." A sigh leaves her. "Life is just inexplicable at times."

Jimin blinks in response, puzzled. "I was just asking about how you are. I didn't tell you to explain your life-story."

Swiftly, Ahri's eyes throw an offended glare his way.

"I'm just kidding." Jimin laughs it off, his eyes crinkling at the ends.

As his member sits up, he quickly wraps his arms around her and pulls her into a warm hug. She is just sitting there, but then slowly begins on returning the sweet gesture. "I understand that you can't talk about it." He pats her head lightly. "When you want to talk, though, I'm here."

Face remaining apathetic, she slowly inclines her head. "I know. Thank you."

"I'll have to get back to my studio now." As she parts away from him, a tight-lipped smile grazes her face. Yona stands up. "I know that today's a day-off, but I'll be back soon. Tell Jungkook that he should stop being a lil' bitch—"

"No."

Said boy stands right in front of her all of a sudden. Due to him having opened up the door swiftly, she bumps into him. Widened eyes gaze up at Jungkook as she tries to muster out a response, perplexed.

"You're staying home." He grabs her shoulders and drags her further into their shared room. "Because we will be spending the day together today. The new movie of Attack on Titan came out, and I want to watch it with you."

She sighs. There is no way out now, Ahri thinks to herself. And so, she nods absently, agreeing; even if it's unwilling in some ways.

On one hand, she loves spending time with him because of how detached he makes her feel of reality. It's like he blows up a beautiful and mind-stopping bubble of his own.

On the other one, Ahri just wants to finish her work.

Yona tactfully taps the pen against the side of her head, trying to think of new lyrics for her solo-song. Even as she hums some words to herself, it just doesn't fit. Nothing works. It's all going wrong.

An exhale escapes her. "Weightlessness," she reads out the first words. "No voice that guides the way... Only loneliness formed as a poor bouquet..."

"What the fuck was that," Yona deadpans at the lyrics she just said aloud.

Frustration takes over her. "You know what? No." She firmly shakes her head, rolling away from her desk. "You can kill all of those lyrics right now. I give up."

After she takes her glasses off—vision turning slightly blurry—the girl crosses her arms. "I've seen enough."

What serves the icing to her cake, though, is her leg colliding right against another table as she actually intended on walking out to drink something. Poor girl falls to the ground. And she stays there. She doesn't dare move. This is the most comfortable she's been in years.

"Being a human is hard. I wanna be a cloud," the girl blinks. "They're such a vibe. Just flying around and staying unproblematic. Humans could never."

"Are you high?"

"God?!" Ahri exclaims, frantically looking around with her blurred vision.

Hoseok stands in the doorway of her studio, blinking at her laid-down figure. She's turned insane, he thinks to himself. It has officially happened now...

"Hyung," begins Yona as she notices him. "If I asked you for some weed, you would get me some, right? Without telling the other members, of course. I mean, you're one of the members I trust the most. Don't get me wrong. The others, too, of course. But if I asked Jin-hyung, for example, he would start crying and—"

He sternly states, "Yona, I'm not getting you drugs."

"Why, though?" She pouts, looking at him now.

A light scoff emits off of her as he throws her a pointed look she can't quite see. "Fine. Can you hand me over my glasses, though? I threw them somewhere and can't find them ever since."

Nodding, he obeys and starts searching for her glasses. "Everyone is done with their solo-songs and the album is about to be finished, too," mentions Hoseok, hesitating to continue. "...Except yours."

"I know." She sighs, cupping her head with her hands while squinting her eyes closed. "I have no inspiration. No muse."

While the male rapper helps her back up, he puts her glasses on as well, asking, "Well, what was your muse before, then? What helped you write songs?"

"Drama, heartbreak, issues, fights..." Ahri is deep in thought now, seated on a chair whilst her fingers pensively stroke her chin. She concludes, "Maybe I need to fight with Taehyung again..."

"NO!" Hoseok instantly disagrees, chopping the air.

His reaction causes her to let out a laugh. "I was just joking." She pauses, blinking. "Although it does help me with writing songs..."

More time passes by as the duo simply keeps talking the minutes away. But Hoseok soon has to leave, so she's alone in her room, once again.

Regardless of having no significant inspiration in mind, she still forces herself to sit in front of her desk to continue producing songs. There are some helping questions that Yoongi wrote down if she ever struggles to write, and so she examines those.

Question 1: Any strong emotions you're currently feeling?

That question has her thinking for some time. "No," is what she states later on, though. "I'm not sad, angry, or too happy either..." Ahri shakes her head. "Anyway, next question..."

Question 2: What is the most meaningful event that has happened a short time ago? Positive and negative.

"Um..." Her mind drifts away, as she lays herself deeper into her swivel chair—spinning around for a few rounds. "Good question, hyung." She sits up. "Next question, hyung."

Question 3: Excluding the members, who are the most important people in your life?

Now is the moment wherein emotions finally take over. Her eyes float toward the polaroid picture she has with her two best friends. Well, old best friends.

Yona lays her chin on her palm, which is propped on the desk. A small sigh is exhaled as she analyzes the happy memory she has had with them. The last happy memory.

"You suck at this, Jaehyun!" muttered Dongmin, his eyes narrowed. "Hand the camera over to me before you break it."

Those provocative words of his caused Jaehyun's eyes to squint as well—his competitive side shining through. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that you majored in photography—"

"Give it to me." Yona rolled her eyes, before snatching the camera from his hands. "I'll take the picture. Stop acting like babies."

Both of them sighed. They soon composed themselves and took a seat beside Ahri, though.

"Smile!"

On her face is no impression today. No twitch of a smile. The visuals of her emotions were washed out by the cool splash of water that filled itself up more and more with the days passing on.

Their warmth was shared on that sunny day. And now, all days resemble a cold winter night.

Her gaze falls down to the blank page. She blinks tiredly, getting hold of a pen soon.

"Are you ready for the shooting of your new comeback Blood, Sweat & Tears, Ahri?"

Said girl, whose hair is the color of a glazed strawberry now—stares at her reflection. She was so focused on herself that she didn't even notice her stylist speaking up.

"Yeah," replies Yona lightly, before getting up and thanking the stylist for her work. She leaves.

While a pair of white silky jeans adorn her legs, there's a puffy blouse in the same color tucked into them. On top of that is a designer blazer in different shades—all of them a rich beige.

She looks like an angel sent from above.

And the boys do not hesitate to show an over-exaggerated reaction about that as well.

"Oh, my God!" Jimin cups his eyes by his hands. "I've turned blind! Too much light! Too much prettiness!"

"You look really pretty." Taehyung hops in front of her. He ruffles her hair. "You're really outshining all of us, not only with your contrast of colors, but also with your face." A warm smile is on his lips.

Overload of compliments is something she still hasn't gotten used to, even if the boys gift her with countless of affirmations every day. She, nonetheless, grows embarrassed.

"Thanks..." Yona looks down sheepishly, cheeks reddened.

Soon on, the group lines up to shoot the choreography. Through the entire dance, Yona stays in the background in order to not draw any attention at first.

But then, when her lines come up, she sways forward sensually and gazes into the camera with deeply set eyes. The entire aura of the room changes as it's her turn for she is a represented as an entire contrast to her other members.

That is repeated many more times, until they can finally catch a break. Alone, Ahri is seated on the floor, lightly dabbing away the sweat off her forehead.

"This is totally different from what we did before," she comments whilst a camera is pointed at her. "I really enjoyed The Most Beautiful Moment In Life, but I think Wings might be my favorite album—or comeback in general."

Weakly smiling toward the camera, Yona adds, "I hope you'll like it."

"We're moving onto the next stage in five minutes!"

The announcement causes her to jerk up from her seat. They change their current attire into different ones. This time, the seven males wear lighter blouses, meanwhile Ahri's is an inky black. Everyone moves to the set with the table furthermore.

Fast-forward a few days, the music video is finally finished and the group simply has to wait to perform it.

It is one of those moments where Ahri realizes that time has passed by way too quickly.

Although this exciting event is happening, all Yona feels is dullness; apathy, and all she can do is stare after it.

Since their newest comeback—Blood, Sweat & Tears—has been released, the group's been on shows and performances nonstop. They're at the M-Countdown and are preparing for their upcoming stage. 

This may be one of the most important performances they've had until now. Usually, that fact would turn Ahri's confidence into the gutter's, it would turn her nervous. Yet it doesn't. She's calm as she awaits for the music to start.

"My blood, sweat, and tears..."

With that, it begins.

Everyone is in great rhythm as they dance the moment away. It's something to remember, something unforgettable.

Yves' eyes are deeply set in a sensual manner, moving forward to rap her part. Her voice drops, turning sultry yet also strangely hypnotizing.

"It's all my doing." Due to her lyrics being written in a tranquil and unhurried way, she solely focuses her gaze on the camera and moves her hands around a little. "You're my sweet candy cane."

A few playful grins are thrown whilst she continues. "Don't look so surprised, all she wanna do is lie. Then she turns around and cries, demons all in her eyes."

"She doesn't feel no pain, she might be insane." Ahri sensually wipes her hair out of her face and touches her neck.

Intense sweat drips off of the members' bodies once they finally finish their performance. They move inside once again, and then prepare a special surprise for one of their members.

"Yona, where are we going?" Jimin asks as the said girl keeps dragging him around to different spots of the building. "Shouldn't we get back to our assigned room? I'm really tired."

"Yeah, you're right." She halts abruptly. "Let's go!"

Once she ends that sentence, the girl runs away from him.

"Ahri—" Jimin is in shock, mouth gaping open. Neverthless, he follows after her.

All lights are turned off as Jimin enters the room. "This girl, I swear to God—"

"Happy Birthday to you!" All of his members cut him off while clapping gleefully. "Our dear Park Jimin! Happy Birthday to you!"

Taehyung holds up a bouquet of dazzling flowers. "Your dad really sent this to you!" exclaims Hoseok.

A light smile is on Yona's face.

"Wow, my dad is amazing!" says Jimin. He beams widely, taking the flowers. "Back in the old days, I bought this for Namjoon-hyung's first birthday, didn't I? Even the cake is meaningful!"

"The members all bought you individual presents!"

They begin on cheering and exclaiming soundly after. Yona stays in the back, rather timid about her present while hiding it behind her back.

It isn't an expensive present like the other ones. To be frank, it didn't even have many expenses to start with.

She nibbles on her bottom lip whilst Jimin examines Taehyung's gift. It's a sweater made by Gucci, and the price would make jaws drop. The best friends hug each other wholesomely.

Soon on, the cameras are turned off for more privacy. "Um..." As it's Yona's turn, she sweat-drops while fidgeting with her fingers. "It's not that special..."

Eagerly, Jimin takes the present while ignoring her embarrassed state and words. He smiles, unpacking the transparent sheet around the object.

Everybody watches the gift with curious eyes.

In Jimin's hands is an oval-shaped, vanity mirror with golden and thick ornaments that give the object a more individual shape. The vocalist firstly gazes at his reflection, and then focuses his attention on the withered blue roses of sharon that are splattered on the head of the mirror.

Tiny black-and-white pictures of Jimin and Yona are glued at the bottom half of the mirror, meanwhile short and encouraging quotes are written everywhere but the center—where one's face can be seen.

Jimin is silent, gripping and staring at the object in his hands with widened eyes.

"It's seriously nothing special... You just once told me that your favorite flower was the rose of sharon because it symbolizes determination and perseverance, and I simply had to search for that everywhere to find a blue one, since blue is your favorite color. You also once stated that gold represents our group the most, so I just..." Ahri coughs awkwardly, scratching her head. "I didn't really know what you would like, and I didn't have as much time to prepare for any expenses like the others did—You don't have to keep it, of course! I'll buy you something more—"

"No," he cuts her off calmly. Looking up, he gazes at his female member intensely. "It's perfect."

He knows himself why she chose this specific gift and the meaningful ideas and details she came up with. Putting it aside, he begins on wrapping his arms around the perplexed girl.

"Thank you," whispers Jimin. "Thanks a lot..."

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

so... i'm kinda back? it's been really hard for me to continue writing this book, and it still is tbh.

also, i honestly just want to change the ENTIRE chapters and edit them. they are so bad. i cringe every time i read them. wtf was i on lmao.

the next chapters will have longer written parts, don't worry!

! ALSO !
yona's solo song is already finished,
but i wanted to keep the surprise
effect for when she is going to perform it.

! IMPORTANT QUESTION !
What are some of the most impactful and important 2016 and 2017 moments that I MUST include?
Everything is possible!

EDIT: 05/03/21
I AM SO SORRY
THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I APOLOGIZE
FOR NOT UPDATING IS IMMACULATE,
I KNOW, BUT I MEAN IT!!!!

this is the last full chapter i have written. the next chapter has around 1000 words and i don't know when i'll continue writing it😟i'll try my best since i really love the work i have put into this book, but i can't promise a fast update, i'm so sorry😭

if you are simply interested in my writing style
or such, i still have other books :/
i have a haikyuu, my hero academia, jungkook,
and another 8th member book where she is
disliked by bts. sorry !!
