Interlude : Who Am I?
Episode 2: The Other Side of the Unseen

"Since I entered into the world of Singularity, I've found another side that I've never seen at all."

*******

Namjoon: You get into the world of darkness when you feel bad, so you get lost in that world. You want to fight, but you don't have a gun. Until in the end, you must accept that tragic defeat. To get you out of punishment, you're paying a ransom that honestly doesn't make sense to you. That you must be willing to suffer every weather on Earth is not good and irregular. You're really gonna get stuck in Singularity. And your Stigma will also make you, and those around you suffer for it...

Pip's! The message sent by Namjoon via BTS chat group made the other members shake their heads. Sending strange messages sent by the leader, Kim Namjoon, is foreign to BTS members. The reason, for the first time he sent a message as complicated as the theory of the BTS MV.

"The stigma? Singularity?? What'sthat??" jungkook said while rereading the message sent by Namjoon just now. He read it many times so that he understood Namjoon's intention of sending the strange message.

Meanwhile, in Yoongi's studio, Hoseok and Yoon-gi discuss Namjoon's message. They were both busy talking about the message.

"Is this a theory? Or.." said Yoongi, holding his forehead as if he remembered something, ".a song??"

Hoseok chimed, "Hyung! Isn't Stigma a solo song from the WINGS album sung by Taehyung? And Namjoon's words are not exactly the same as Taehyung's current condition??"

"Maybe. Since the song was written by Taehyung, so well, everything sent by Namjoon was intended for Taehyung. And Singularity, I think it's a song for BTS later, because I accidentally saw the script of the song called Singularity. Manager-nim said, the song will be sung by Taehyung. Regarding Taehyung's problem, you don't have to worry, because I will help him out of his problem." said Yoongi while patting Hoseok's shoulder.

Hearing Yoongi's words, Hoseok smiled as he looked at Yoon-gi with eyes that looked somewhat watery. "Yoongi hyung, you're really good.."

*******

Perhaps, among BTS members other than Namjoon, only Taehyung did not read the strange messages in the BTS chat group. And at this moment, he was lying on the sofa precisely in the middle room while closing his two eyes.

Soon, Seokjin and Jungkook, who had just returned from the cafeteria near the dorm, walked in through the front door. When they entered the dorm, they saw Taehyung lying on the sofa. Without thinking much, they ran over to Taehyung.

"Taehyungs! Did you not read the message sent by Namjoon hyung through the group chat earlier??" yelling Jungkook while patting Taehyung's shoulder from behind.

At first, he did not answer or turn his head, but as soon as Jungkook slapped his shoulder hard, he immediately turned his head. Apparently, Taehyung was daydreaming so that he did not even hear Jungkook's words just now.

"D-lt. I haven't touched my phone since. My phone is on-charge now. Besides, I can't do anything because I'm alone in the dorm. If you were here, we'd be playing Piano Tiles or Overwatch." Taehyung murmured.

Seokjin and Jungkook exchanged looks. They smiled at the confused Taehyung, "Tadi Namjoon was sending a message, and he mentioned the words 'Stigma' and 'Singularity' which made my forehead fold because the meaning was difficult to understand. Maybe it has something to do with BTS's comeback theory, or something to do with your life" Seokjin said as she folded her arms around her chest.

"Hmm" Taehyung murmured, ".. You mean my dark side? Which is full of Stigma??"

That made Seokjin and Jungkook quiet again. How could Taehyung know that when we haven't explained it??' jungkook.

*******

Beep it! The message sent by Namjoon is now back to the conversation of the members in the group chat. Like the first time, Namjoon sent a message whose meaning is so complicated as a theory that no one has been able to solve.

Namjoon: If you feel you don't see yourself in the river (mirror), it's a sign that you're actually selfish. You are like a PERSONA who is trapped in the SHADOW world so that it makes the person hurt by his own EGO. So, when do you want to try to get out of that world of Singularity you made??

Hoseok: What other theory did you send us??

Yoongi: Focus on the 3 bold printed words Namjoon says. PERSONA, SHADOW, and EGO. Understand the meaning of these three words. You will be able to answer the riddle that Namjoon gave you if you understand the words.

Taehyung: Get me out of Singularity, before my Stigma hurts you again

*******

"Come, let's go back to that time." take Yoon-gi with a gentle pull of Taehyung's hand.

"But, how did Hyung get to see my dark side??" Taehyung's gaze focused on Yoongi's face that was filled with his natural instincts.

"I feel like I've seen what happened when you entered that world.."

Yoongi's gaze was fixed on Taehyung's room, whose doorknob had been broken. "Ah, here. It all started when you came out of the room, but your door handle was broken." Yoon-gi then begins the story. From the look on his face, he really felt that he went to that time where Taehyung was trapped in the world of Singularity which made him have to hurt his hyungs.

"At that time, under the light of a beautiful full moon, making the city of Seoul also a jewel at night. However, everything instantly disappeared once the dark clouds came from Incheon towards Seoul so that the moonlight was covered by the clouds completely. Suddenly, the rain fell very heavily soaking the surface of Seoul. And, I didn't even think, that the lightning caused the trees to fall, which resulted in electricity in the UN Village area. Well, so Taehyung was surprised then, because the electricity suddenly went out.."

"Saking dark conditions dorm that time, Taehyung tried to find a candle with the help of his cellphone light. Coincidentally, that morning Namjoon bought a pack of candles. As if he knew that night would be a power outage."

Taehyung. He closed his eyes slowly, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he felt that he was returning to that time and it turned out, he saw Yoon-gi who was walking in front of his room at that time, although Taehyung knew that only he was there when it happened.

"However, suddenly lightning boomed once Taehyung reached the 2nd floor. As a result of the deafening lightning, Taehyung yelled until his phone fell to the floor. Just then, Taehyung covered both of his ears with his trembling hands."

"Taehyung said, 'Well, why is the atmosphere even more creepy like this. I got scared, ' then he took his phone and got up and walked to his room."

Yoon-gi opens the door to Taehyung's room with a weak movement of her hand, then enters Taehyung's room cautiously. Out of curiosity, Taehyung follows in the footsteps of Yoon-gi who enters his room where Yoon-gi is returning to.

"Ah, Taehyung was frightened because of the condition in the dorm at that time. So scary, he did not even dare to come out of his room. He closed the door to his room from the inside so he could not get out. He sat leaning on his bed while tightly hugging his bolster. As the lightning roared, he closed his eyes with his sweaty hands so afraid he was in a dormant condition.."

"A short time after that, he felt that he wanted to go to the bathroom. He got up, and walked to the restroom on the ground floor, "Yongi followed Taehyung's trail, who walked to the restroom.

After the affairs in the restroom were over, Taehyung who was at that time walked up to the mirror near the entrance of the restroom. Meanwhile, Yoon-gi (who is nowhere to be seen) is standing right beside Taehyung.

"Because Taehyung likes to check his face all the time, so sometimes he checks his face in the mirror at that time. He stood up and looked at his face in the mirror. As he looked at his face back then, suddenly the lightning came back thundering. Taehyung was trembling again. However, he trembled not because of lightning or darkness, but because his image vanished in the mirror."

*******

"Taehyung walked towards his room with a frightened face. He remembered when he was not in the mirror. As he opened his room, suddenly the atmosphere returned gripping, even looking far creepy. As soon as Taehyung stepped into his room, it felt as if someone was whispering behind him. Not people, but like a black shadow. The shadow seemed to whisper in Taehyung's ear. After that, Taehyung fell, and his body slammed on the mattress with a supine position. His eyes remained open until morning. Even so, Taehyung's room was sealed shut, but strangely enough, no one closed the door."

Taehyung shivered in fear hearing Yoongi's explanation. He did not expect that he had experienced such a terrible event that he and those around him suffered.

"In the morning, Taehyung returned to his normal condition, although judging from the condition of his face, his eyes still indicated that he was still hesitant to get out of his room. He did not even think how he could end up in his bed with his eyes wide open. As soon as Jungkook arrives, he feels unsure about coming out as he is being whispered by a shadow that haunted his mind last night.."

Suddenly, a radiant door appeared before Taehyung and Yoon-gi. After that, they walked into that door. And in the end, they finally returned to the future..

"Well, you finally know. Since you already know its origin, then we'll settle the matter later tonight together." said Yoongi, then left Taehyung alone in the living room at such a fast pace.

Taehyung looked down agitatedly, "Ah, so this is my true side?? The one full of stigma??"
