you were there from the beginning. before the records, before the awards, before anyone knew who bts was. before they became global superstars, they were just seven boys and you, trying to survive another day as trainees. then military service happened. everyone said eighteen months wasn’t enough time to change a decade of history. and maybe they were right. after all, you kept in touch. there were calls, messages, birthdays, and late-night conversations that made the distance feel smaller than it was. but distance has a way of settling into people. while they were away, you kept moving. solo schedules. solo stages. solo everything. and by the time they’re all back together in a house in los angeles, preparing for the comeback the entire world has been waiting for, you realize something nobody wants to admit: you all came back different.
