Interlude : Who Am I?
Episode 9: Extraordinary You

"I don't know who I love in this world, but I do admit, that you're amazing when you love yourself. You're an amazing person to me."

*******

"Ah, I can't believe this is really happening.."

Taehyung's cry broke as soon as he returned to the backstage. His eyes were red because he did not expect that Bangtan won the award at an award ceremony. In a speech delivered by Seokjin, Taehyung cried in Jungkook's arms.

"Calm down, Hyung. I know how you feel now, so be calm.." Jungkook said as he stroked Taehyung's back gently. Just like Taehyung, Jungkook also cried hearing the speech delivered by Seokjin when receiving the award.

"Hm, let's get some rest tomorrow. Besides, there's no schedule tomorrow, right?" jungkook.

Taehyung raised his head, then looked at Jungkook in confusion. "Molla's.." (I don't know.) He looked down and wiped his tears with a tissue.

"What do you want?? Yoongi hyung bought us." Jimin came to the two of them, then sat down next to Taehyung.

"Ah? I want anything. Hotdog, okay? I want cola too." ask Jungkook.

Jimin looked at Taehyung, then raised his chin, "Tae, do you want anything? Don't be moody." 

Taehyung drew his smile and showed off his box mouth. "I want to, but if we're together huh, Hyung?" he said while embracing Jimin and Jungkook's shoulders.

"Ah. You're this basic. You're a freak compared to the others." joked Jimin, then hugged the two maknaes. Of course, Taehyung and Jungkook.

"Alright, let's go meet our four hyungs. They've been waiting for us since." cried Jungkook, then pulled Jimin and Taehyung's arms.

Taehyung

I was focused on the TV screen that aired the Korean variety show that kept me spinning. While eating the snack I bought at the minimarket earlier, I focused on watching TV. Fortunately, the condition in the dorm was quite quiet, so I could continue watching TV as much as possible.

"Taehyungs! It'll be raining soon, so please take care of the dorm okay? Make sure that the dry laundry in the backyard dorm should be put into the dorm if it is dry! If not, just put it in the laundry basket in the warehouse! I'm going to Myeongdong to buy something." Seokjin hyung yelled at me while asking me to do a dorm assignment.

I too, turned to look at Seokjin hyung, "Iya-iya, I'll do it, Hyung! Just relax!!"

"Alright, I go first." said Seokjin hyung, then walked out and closed the dorm door. And in the end, I was the one who lived alone inside the dorm.

Due to staring too long at the TV screen, my eyes became a bit tired, so I suddenly fell asleep. I fell asleep on the couch on my stomach.

*******

"Young! Wake up!! Help Kookie lift the laundry first!!!"

I opened my eyes slowly, then fixed my sitting position. I rubbed my eyes slowly, then I pensively for a moment. I then saw Jungkook coming in a hurry carrying the laundry from the dorm backyard with a wet body.

I jerked. Is it raining now?!!!

I got up from my seat and ran towards the dorm backyard to pick up the laundry that was being dried. Fortunately it is still drizzling, so the laundry is not too wet. However, the laundry carried by Jungkook was completely wet, because the place was a bit far away, and did not shelter so it was almost wet.

"Oh, how's this? Seokjin hyung can get angry if the laundry gets wet!!" I complained as soon as I saw the laundry Jungkook put in the laundry basket.

Jungkook raised his eyes. "Hm, how about we dry using Seokjin hyung's hairdryer?" jungkook proposes while opening his mouth wide.

Jungkook's proposal has a point, too. I think that's a good idea.

Suddenly, Jimin hyung came to surprise us both. Fortunately, Jungkook and I were not surprised. It's just, we were happy when Jimin hyung came.

"Annyeong! Can I help you?" jimin yelled as he put his head close to my shoulder.

I turned my head. "Who did Hyung come here with??"

Jimin smiles. "Ho-oh, alone. Is it just you two who are guarding the dorm?" Jungkook and I nodded slowly.

"Yes, Hyung. It would be much faster to finish if Hyung helped us dry this." Jungkook said, folding up Yoon-hyung's clothes.

Jimin flinched. "Drying clothes? You mean, these clothes are wet from the rain?!! God, why are the clothes wet?? Luckily you guys weren't caught by Seokjin hyung!!"

Jungkook looked at me strangely, "Taehyung's clothes are all wet. He overslept watching TV. Moreover, he also did not turn off the TV when he was going to sleep. The TV kept on until I arrived. Fortunately the rain had not been this harsh when I came, so I was in a hurry to pick up these clothes. Some were even almost wet because the place was not sheltered."

Hearing Jungkook's words, Jimin hyung then looked at me horror. "So you're the one who was told to but just ignored him for sleeping?! Fortunately, Jungkook came to help. Otherwise, you will definitely be scolded. Yeah, let's just fold these clothes."

I folded my clothes while looking at the two of them, "Jimin hyung, Jungkook-ie, thank you for helping me so much. I thank you guys so much.."

Jimin and Jungkook then hugged me tightly. It feels comfortable to be hugged by them.

"You're an amazing person to me."

"It would be even more special if you loved yourself, Kim Taehyung," Jimin said.

*******

"Taehyung," Jimin hyung called out to me in a weak tone from inside his room. His voice was far from the current spirit. According to Jungkook, he seemed unwell from morning. He didn't even leave his room at breakfast. Jungkook brought him miyeokguk and bbibimbap. I only realized it when I passed Jungkook as soon as he finished feeding Jimin hyung.

I walked into his room with slow steps. When I entered his room, he lay weakly in his bed. The tiny body of Jimin hyung covered in a thick blanket of white, made me sad. My only friend, who is also my classmate, is the one who made me happy all my life with his behavior.

I sat next to him, then held his right hand. Her tiny fingers look cute and cute, and very soft, portraying the true character of Jimin hyung.

"Taehyung-ie," he said softly.

He stroked my hair, and held my face with both hands. "You're an amazing person to me, Tae. I've only seen the most extraordinary people in the world for the first time, other than my parents. And I didn't think at all that that man was with me until now."

My eyes glazed over at Jimin hyung's words. I almost cried.

"Tae, be special to me, even if one day I'm not next to you, which is when you're happy with the person you love..."

My tears fell infinitely. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, because I was sensitive to Jimin's words. I hugged Jimin hyung's body.

"Hyung-ie, thank you for coming into my life and coloring my life..."

Jimin hyung got up and hugged me. Her tears fell on my shoulder. His crying spilled even he did not hesitate to wet my clothes with his tears.

But I realized in a voice not far from both of us. Jungkook Voice.

"You got the best of me....."
