Interlude : Who Am I?
Episode 5: Death of the Shadow

"Darkness will lose, and good will win. The shadow will just disappear and die. Today, I will prove that the darkness will lose.."

"PLEASE LET ME GO!! LET ME LIVE HAPPILY WITHOUT YOU!!!" Taehyung cried out in fear as soon as he realized that he had just been attacked by the shadow that had been bothering him all along.

"You're commanding me to use these wings? The letter clearly says that I am safe from danger, but once I wear it why am I in danger? That means you've deceived me! You liar!!!!" reply Taehyung.

Seeing Taehyung being attacked, the other six members then ran to meet Taehyung who was in the locked room. When they opened the door, they saw Taehyung sitting crying in fear in the corner of the room. They approached Taehyung as the shadow disappeared before them.

"Are you okay, Tae? You look scared." said Yoongi, then grabbed Taehyung's hand, followed by Namjoon, Jimin, and Jungkook who helped Taehyung get back on his feet.

"What about the shadow? Can he leave you forever?? I'll ask for it." added Yoongi.

As the six members, including Taehyung, stood by the door, Yoon-gi stepped forward and took the black wings and feathers, in order to disturb the shadow.

Finally, shortly after, the shadow returned, but he did not attack anyone, including Taehyung. He was in front of Yoon-gi, and asked why he could hold the black feathers and wings.

"Why did you call me?"

Yoon-gi folded her hands. He could see the shadow with his naked eye. While the others, could only be speechless to see Yoongi's action against the shadow.

"I'm calling you because I have a request for you to grant. Can you?"

Without a second thought, the shadow immediately replied, "Yes."

"I want you out of the life of Kim Taehyung, my sister. Forever. Do you mind doing it?"

With a smile, he returned a request from Yoon-gi. "I don't mind, but remember one thing, especially you, Taehyung," he said, staring at Taehyung, "You remember why your reflection that day disappeared in the mirror? Actually, your shadow existed back then, only you didn't realize it because you didn't care about yourself. Remember, love yourself and do not be selfish. Your stigma will continue to bother you if you are selfish. I won't bother you anymore, but just remember what I said. Then I go, and give me those wings and feathers, so I can be free..."

Yoon-gi then gave the two objects to him, and he then said goodbye, going away just like that in front of the seven BTS members.

Namjoon, Seokjin, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook then cheered cheerfully towards Yoongi. All of a sudden, the electricity came back on, and they were screaming so happy. Taehyung then cried because he did not think he managed to get out of the world of Singularity.

"Finally, I got out of this trap. Thank you very much, Hyung.." Taehyung muttered inwardly, hugging Yoongi's body.

*******

Namjoon: Congratulations on getting out of Singularity. When your question is not resolved, Answer: Love Myself will answer your question. Love yourself, and be who you are yesterday, today, and the day ahead. Make sure all these events are not Serendipity, and make everything she says is Epiphany so that you can love yourself. You're gonna be the reason for an Euphoria.

The message sent just by Namjoon, has now been understood by the six members even though they do not fully understand the meaning of the message. All they know, is a comeback theory but have not fully understood. As for Taehyung, he could only smile as he was the main lead behind the messages Namjoon had sent lately.

"I smile because I'm happy." concluded Taehyung, while wiping off the tears that flowed on his cheeks.

He looked at himself in the mirror, and he was happy to see himself again. He was no longer afraid that his shadow would disappear, because he believed in himself that he was brave with anything that would interfere with his mind.

However, he did not even realize that behind him stood Jimin, Jungkook, Seokjin, and Yoon-gi. Jimin then hugged Taehyung's body from behind so Taehyung realized his existence. He looked at her as soon as he felt that someone was holding her from behind.

"How, Tae? You've seen it for yourself, haven't you? Maybe your shadow was lost because of your feelings. So remember what your Stigma said last night." said Jimin, squinting his eyes.

"I've seen it myself." Taehyung replied with a smile.

Yoon-gi, who was behind Jimin, walked forward to Taehyung and hugged him. He then stroked Taehyung's blonde hair.

"Be a good boy... We all love you. You know how much I feel about you? I even willingly ask Namjoon and do everything possible so that you can be free from your Stigma, Taehyung. So please, don't be selfish anymore.." Suddenly, Yoon-gi cries in Taehyung's arms. It made Seokjin, Jimin and Jungkook touched to see the incident.

"You're the main character behind all this. So, can you realize it??" said Yoon-gi, whose tears were wiped away by Taehyung's hands.

"Yes, Hyung. But everyone, thank you very much. I can't give you anything to repay your kindness, Hyung.." Taehyung said with a smile while looking at Yoon-gi whose eyes were still watering.

"You don't have to repay my kindness. Your happiness is enough for me to repay my kindness to you." said Yoongi.

Hearing the words of Yoongi, Seokjin, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook then hugged Yoongi because he was so moved. They are thrilled to have a member as good as Yoon-gi.

"We're grateful to have you.."

*******

"Cheosnun-e neol alaboge - Aishh!! Jinjja!!!" Taehyung became misfocused because he was always daydreaming when he was given a DNA song lyric script by Yoongi.

"Taehyung, when can you focus on recording sessions, anyway? This is 10 times you've repeated it!! Do you want to stay in my studio till night??" yongi.

"Maybe until tomorrow, hehehe.." joked Taehyung.

"Be serious, Taehyung. I'm not kidding right now." replied Yoongi.

After his affairs in the studio were finally finished, he returned to the dorm to rest. He slammed his body on the bed as soon as he arrived in his room.

"Ah~~ tiring day. The whole day at Yoon-hyung's studio, then meeting at Bang PD-nim's room, and accompanying Jimin-hyung when her hair was colored, it was so tired of me today.."

"Um," Taehyung muttered as he looked at the ceiling of his room, "did I not forget something???"

He sat down and scanned each room, trying to remember something. As his phone rang, he picked it up on the table, and as soon as he saw the notification on his phone screen he gasped in shock.

"Jungkook??"
