Chapter 1: Prologue
Future BTS POV May 30th, 2019 The room was filled with the sound of heavy breathing as the final cord of Boy with love filled the room, The seven occupants dropped to the floor, muscles aching and lungs straining as they tried to fill with oxygen after the strenuous but fulfilling practice. They had practiced so hard the mirrors had begun to fog with the rising humidity caused by the body heat and sweat from the young men. The moment, however, was broken by the door being opened, as a middle-aged man stepped inside. “Boys!” the man smiled “It looks like practice went well today” Sejin expressed with a smile, from where he was leaning against the door frame, arms crossed across his chest but overall posture relaxed. “Hyung” Tae whined from his spot on the floor, panting through his words “It’s not funny we worked hard, look even the mirror clouded over, are we able to go back to the hotel now?” crawling forward along the floor pouting cutely.“Hyung please, we’re so hungry and we all smell really bad. And we only have a few hours left before we have to be up for the plane to London in the morning” Jimin added joining Tae in aegyo trying to woo their manager over. “Aish! You boys will be the death of me, I came to get you all anyway, you forget everyone wants you in top shape for you Wembley debut” The man responded, with a small giggle. This caused a loud response from the previously quiet men on the floor, a gasp traveling throughout all of them. “We would never forget how much all the staff and ARMY care, that’s not very nice of you to imply Hyung!” Mumbled Jin Cheekily as he sat up into a cross-legged position soon follow by the others. Sejin just let out a laugh shaking his head knowing the eldest band member was playing.“Come on then, otherwise I’ll leave you all to walk back in the cold, dark night in a country none of you know” he bantered back. This soon got all the boys up on their feet with renewed vigor, ready to be back in their hotel suite to shower, eat and rest for their long flight to England tomorrow, they gathered their belongings and headed outside to the waiting van, Hoseok, Yoongi, and Namjoon took the back seats, Yoongi immediately taking the opportunity to try and sleep, while the maknae line took the middle seats animatedly talking amongst themselves showing each other funny videos they had found while they were browsing the internet and finally with Jin riding shotgun and Sejin driving, the drive back took less than fifteen minutes, the vehicle soon pulling up outside their Hotel.“Alright boys now remember to be ready to leave at six-thirty so we can get to the airport on time for your flight, you know how it is with all your fans, making it difficult to get through the airport on time, even here in Brazil. They just all want to show their appreciation but sometimes it can cause delays” Sejin addressed them all with a serious tone, a chorus of ‘yes Hyung’ sounded before They filed out the van and into the lobby taking the elevator up to their penthouse suite. Once inside Jin headed to the kitchenette area making some quick ramyeon for everyone as it was far too late to call room service.“I’m taking the shower first” yelled Yoongi as he locked the bathroom door, the sound of running water soon followed“Don’t use all the hot water Hyung, we need to shower too remember” shouted back the group’s leader as he took a seat on the couch sinking into the soft cushions soon followed by Hoseok who rested his head on his shoulder.“I think I’m going to shower in the morning, I’ll just have to get up extra early. I’m too tired to wait for my turn tonight” the maknae yawned as he stood in the doorway between the kitchen/seating area and the hallway that lead to their separate rooms. so all his Hyung’s would be able to hear him, minus Yoongi who was still in the shower.“okay Kookie, are you wanting something to eat or going straight to bed? You know you shouldn’t go to bed on an empty stomach no matter how wiped out you are” sighed the eldest, worrying over the youngest health as always.“I’ll be okay I’m going to head straight to bed Hyung, I’ll make sure to eat a good breakfast in the morning, Goodnight Hyung’s!” he shouted to his earning him a collective ‘goodnight’ back, yawning again as he made his way down into his room. Shortly after Yoongi made his way out of the bathroom now changed into a pair of basketball shorts and a loose-fitting top, towel drying his hair as he sat down on the couch near Hoseok, just as Jin walked over with a tray of six ramyeon cups setting them down on the coffee table.“eat up, then figure out who’s showering, then off to bed with the lot of you” he instructed“yes, Eomma-Hyung” Tae and Jimin replied in unison with a giggle earning them a playful whack to the back of the head before everyone grabbed a steaming cup off the table. Filling their bellies with the warm noodles and broth, then one by one they showered and made their way to bed and so the suite was left in peaceful darkness. However in the morning that peacefulness was broken by the boys rushing to get ready at half four in the morning the young maknae making a beeline into the bathroom to shower like he had said he would the night before, causing all his Hyung’s to groan in frustration at having to wait to freshen themselves up for the long day ahead. But soon the hectic morning calmed as they all squished into the van heading to the airport, the boys filled with excitement and trepidation for the show that awaited them at one of the world's largest and most famous stadiums.
May 31st, 2019
The Fans screamed as the boys made their way through the airport to their hired van waiting to take them to the hotel that would house them while they stayed in London “I will never get used to this, just to be known in Korea is amazing but internationally also, it just unbelievable” Smiled Jungkook once they were all seated comfortably in the van the fans screams now only coming muffled through the windows.“I know how you feel Kook, just imagine if we had known during pre-debut that it would be like this” Jimin added wistfully Everyone hummed in agreement. The van moved back in to silence as the boys Contemplated what Jimin had said, all wondering what would have happened to them if they had known back then would they would be this successfully with their careers. What seemed like minutes to them as they were lost in thought, was, in fact, a good three-quarters of an hour, the van pulling to a stop just outside the hotel.“we’re here boys” their manager spoke gaining the boy attention “now you have an hour to settle in, grab something to eat, unwind whatever you feel like doing then, we’re are going to head to the venue and have a short dress rehearsal. And a run over of what's going to happen then you can all come back to the hotel and have some fun and explore, before the big day tomorrow. Sound good?”The boys quickly scrambled out of the van after nodding to show they had heard the man, Ready to use this free hour to the fullest, it was a shame they didn’t have more free time to be able to explore but that would come later, once they received their room keys they quickly decided who was rooming with who the maknae line together, Joonie and Hobi and finally Yoongi and Jin.“Right guys, we will meet in the lobby in fifty minutes that gives us a leeway of ten minutes if anything goes wrong, Jungkook I trust you to make sure those two aren’t late” Namjoon address the whole group, then Kookie, nodding his head in the direction Of Jimin and Tae who Ignoring whatever He had just said in favor of giggling over something on Tae’s phone, most likely things they were planning on doing later while they explored London as they should be done by lunchtime with everything. He received a brief nod in reply from everyone bar the above mentioned two which were then pulled off by the youngest in the direction of their room, both squawking in surprise, almost losing there footing before righting themselves and following, but not without obvious pouts on their faces.It wasn’t long before the boys were meeting up in the Lobby, their managers arriving and herding them into the vans, soon on their way to Wembley, Nervous excitement following them.
June 1st, 2019
“That was amazing! I can’t believe it. We did it we sold out Wembley stadium! The Amount of ARMY The screaming.” Tae rambled on. Jin just laughed at his dongsaeng erratic behavior.“Calm down Tae, with the amount of energy you're using now you wouldn’t guess you’ve just performed a concert in front of thousands of fans” Yoongi groaned from where he sat spread out on the couch finger and thumb rubbing at his temples tiredly, he was exhausted but it was the good kind of exhausted, he felt accomplished.The group was currently backstage in the dressing room waiting for the staff to come to remove their make-up. Yoongi lay stretched out on one of the couches, Namjoon sat just to his left with Hobi on his right. Jin stood resting against one of the make-up tables messing around on his phone most likely playing some new game he had just downloaded, The Maknae’s all sat on the floor talking between themselves, till Kookie looked up in confusion addressing their leader.“where is everybody we’ve been waiting back here for ten minutes now, what’s going on Hyung?” his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.“I don’t know Kookie, but there’s no rush, they’ll be here soon I’m sure” Yawned Namjoon from his place next to Yoongi, head falling on to his Hyung's lap who grumbled in protest.The room grew silent once more with the odd noise from Jin’s phone or the Group on the floor, the Silence was broken by the door being opened, but not by anyone they recognized, the group looks toward the new individual in confusion. The person that entered the room they stood around 5’8 and had short blonde hair, none of them could tell the gender of the individual as they were wearing a loose-fitting hoodie, and a face mask.“Excuse me,” asked Jin moving forward a few steps forward from where he stood against the make-up table “Are You okay are you lost?” he asked cautiously brain moving a mile a minute thinking up scenarios of who the stranger could be.The individual looked up like they were just noticing they were not alone in the room, they fiddled with their hands nervously. Before speaking. “Erm, no I’m not lost” even from there voice the boys still couldn’t figure out the gender of the strange person “in fact I was looking for you” they seemed to get more confident with each word they said “and I’m here to ask you something about what one of you said yesterday, when you were on the way to the hotel” if possible the boy’s faces grew even more confused.“excuse me, but how would you know about anything we said yesterday, there was no one around us but ourselves and members of our staff, which you are not one of” Asked Hoseok“Oh sorry” the individual spoke embarrassed pulling down the mask “I should probably introduce myself first, my name is Ku Miho but you can call me just Miho” she spoke with a strange sparkle in her eye which sent a shiver down the groups spine the name not sitting right with them “and to answer your question Hoseok-Sii” the now assumed female smiled “I’m not what you would call Human, I Hear many things, probably a lot of things I shouldn’t” she finishes with a smirk. Causing all the boys to stare at her in shock until a deep voice broke the silence. “What kind of joke is this” Yoongi growled annoyed getting up from his space on the couch, jostling the others sat next to him. Miho turned to the young man, with an odd look on her face, it made Yoongi stop in his tracks, cautious of her.“This is no joke boy” Miho’s voice losing all awkwardness, a more commanding tone becoming more apparent “I heard what, your little Jimin said yesterday, about Being able to Know what you have accomplished now, but back during your pre-debut days, this is true is it not. But how would I Know this for you were alone in that van, the only other person being your manager? Is this not true?”None of the boys could say anything because what she had said was indeed true, they were lost for words. Each one looking to another member to see if they could come up with an excuse for how she knew, but they had nothing.“h-how?” Stuttered Taehyung fear present in his toneMiho chuckled her voice sweet like honey, but with a dangerous edge, her smirk turning into a creepy smile big enough to show off he sharper than normal canines.“I have told you, I am not human. Now to Ask what I came here to, is it true that back when you were trainees that you would want to know, assure yourselves that you will one day be where you are now in the present?” She asked with all the seriousness that she could.“Well, yes?” stuttered the maknae “With all the doubts that we had back then wondered if we ever would make it, if we would ever hit our BEP, be able to live our dream, that we had all been working so hard for I can’t speak for all of us but yes I would, it would make some of my doubts be eased” he mumbled the last part under his breath. The boys in the room looked at their youngest with melancholy eyes, before each looking back to the strange women and muttered their agreement. The supernatural women? Being? smiled again but this time, less frightening her eyes lighting with a mischievous glint.“what if I told you I could send you back, back to tell your younger-selves to not worry, long enough to help them with whatever they need, all you would have to do is call for me when your done and then I would bring you back to this moment in time, that timeline will split off like a branch taking its own course leaving this timeline unaffected” she spoke knowingly making the whole of Bangtan stand in shocked silence.“T-t-that’s impossible, and even if it wasn’t, what would you get out of all of this? Why allow us to do something like this?” Questioned Namjoon Miho Let out a loud laugh which shocked the group.“Simple!” she smiled “I’m bored, A being like me lives for a very long time, and we need something to entertain ourselves from time to time”“That’s all this is to you a game? You’re playing with our lives to entertain yourself” Yoongi spat his anger rising quickly “you’re doing this on a Whim because of you bored?!” Jim quickly grabbed the rapper's shoulder, trying to stop him moving across the room toward the self-proclaimed deity.“Yoongi calm down, yelling will get us nowhere fast” he spoke calmingly looking the younger in the eye, Miho stood and watched the two eldest of Bangtan converse with each other before they turned back to her.“I’m sorry to offend but you must see it from my point of view, something like this for you is a great foot, impossible to regular humans, but for me it is just a fraction of the power I possess” she explained “now let me explain what will happen if you agree to this, I will send you back a few weeks before your debut date, the only thing you will need is a few changes of clothes which you will have in your hotel room, chargers of any devices you take, money your bank cards can be accessed over timelines same with your phones and internet, meaning if you need to you prove yourselves to be who you say you are and have proof that you need to ease any doubts you can find it online, on sites like Facebook, YouTube and Google etc. I will come with you at first to help you explain to the younger versions of you, and your managers and Producer and whoever else we might run into if need be then leave you to your own devices. Understand?”The Young men were speechless, it seemed like this was going to happen all they had to do was agree, they all met eye’s silently discussing their options.“This could be a great opportunity, we all know how it was for us before debut, not being able to afford good food, or even good props for our first video, all our worries” whispered Jimin, the others nodded.“Are we doing this?” Questioned Hoseok“Apparently” mumbled Yoongi turning back to the still unidentified supernatural creature as the others did the same.“I suppose we’re doing this then, Miho-Ssi,” said Namjoon, the women in question giggled“Great, I will see you again in your hotel rooms, get your things ready, but for now I shall say goodbye” she smiled and waved as she disappeared in front of their eyes.“Woah!” Squealed Tae. As if they hadn’t been talking to the strange being moments before, the door opened and the missing staff made their way in followed by Sejin, it was if time had stopped when Miho was there.“Boy’s,” Sejin asked confused “what are you all standing around for, get into your chairs so you can have your make-up removed, and we can get you back to the hotel to rest. You deserve it you performed amazingly” Jin and Yoongi’s hotel room was filled with nervous whispers and chatter, the boys had left the venue a few hours ago, once they arrived back at the hotel they took the time to shower in their rooms and gather the things they needed, and proceeded to meet up in the two eldest room to wait for Miho to reappear like she said she would. They were currently eating food they had ordered from room service while whispering amongst themselves.“Hyung’s we weren’t dreaming earlier right, this is happening, we’re going to be traveling back in time to advise our pre-debut selves?” Kookie asked while stirring his chopsticks through the noodles in his bowl thoughtfully. “Seems so kid” replied Yoongi his mouth full of noodle’s“Yoongi” Jin admonished “don’t speak with your mouth full!” he gave the rapper a disgusted look and the room moved into a comfortable silence, just the sounds of chopsticks clinking against bowls, and the slurping of broth. That was until someone cleared their throat, spooking the group.“HOLY!” Screamed Hoseok dropping his chopsticks and almost covering himself in broth as he jumped in fright. Once he calmed down he joined the other boys in facing their visitor, Miho stood laughing at the foot of the bed the boys were seated on.“Hi boys” she giggled “I’m sorry to disturb you, and sorry Hoseok-ah I didn’t mean to scare you” it confused the boys how the woman could change an attitude so easily, from shy to serious then to friendly, it aggravated Yoongi to no end, Hoseok cleared his throat awkwardly.“no harm was done, honestly” he replied with a sheepish smile“I can see that, are you boys ready, You have your supplies packed!” she gestured to the bags sat at her feet “I can take you now if you would like or are you still eating?”The boys stood placing their used cutlery and bowls on the table in the corner of the hotel room, and moving over to grab their bags, tension obvious in all their muscles.“I think we’re ready Miho-Ssi, I think we are too nervous to carry on eating anything now” Jin Replied the nervousness apparent in his voice.“There’s no need to be nervous, what’s there to be scared about your only meeting yourselves, now if your ready link hands and the two closest to me grab my hands, and we’ll get going” Miho smiled reassuringly. The boys did as they were told some tension released from their shoulders, but nervous looks still plastered on their faces.“Okay boys this might be a bit disorientating at first but, you’ll only vomit once when we arrive” Miho Joked with an almost sadistic looking smile on her face the gleam from earlier had returned to her eye. The boys looked up shocked but any replies they had where drowned out by Miho’s laugh at they disappeared from the room. The unbelievable journey for the Bangtan boy Present and past just beginning.
Past BTS POV 1st June 2013
The small dance room was alive with noise, as the seven-young trainee’s soon to debut as Bangtan sonyeondan, practiced with all their heart, determined to give it their all. the song ended and the boys stood panting staring at their reflections in the mirrors that adorned one side of the room, with small smiles on their sweaty faces.“well-done boys” Mr. son spoke as he applauded the tired group “your timing and footwork is really coming along well”“Thank you, Teacher-nim “grinned the resident sunshine of the group Hoseok “we do try our best, we just hope our best, is good enough” he finished with a sigh, Jimin moved his hand to rest on his shoulder.“don’t worry Hyung, I’m sure, when we film the MV it will look great,” he said with a bittersweet smile trying to cheer up the usually happy young man, but you could see he was just as worried. Hoseok gave the eighteen-year-old a hug.“Jiminnie, my cuddly dongsaeng, always looking after your Hyung’s, such an angel” Hoseok laughed“Ew! Hyung gross your all sweaty” Jimin yelled out trying to remove himself from his spider monkey of a Hyung’s arms. The other members laughed and left their fellow bandmate to his fate. Jimin eventually freed himself and ran off Hobi giving chase around the dance room with reels of laughter leaving his lips. The others still watched on giggling all the while, until Jimin decided to use Rapmonster as a human shield, him being the first one he could grab onto. The resulting force knocked the Clumsy boy into Yoongi and Yoongi, in turn, fell into Taehyung, resulting in a domino effect till all seven boys where in a tangle of limbs on the floor. Mr. Son looked on with a fond smile as they tried to untangle themselves from each other failing miserably until they gave up and began to laugh. The dance teacher then reached and grabbed the nearest hand from the pile which happened to be Yoongi’s and helped him to his feet with a curt ‘thank you Hyung-nim’ from the young man, with one body removed it was much easier for the still giggling six to climb to their feet.“well now that fun’s over” the older man laughed “I’ll give you all a half-hour break then we’ll get back to it, remember to drink enough water and have a small snack. I’ll be back” he glanced at the clock noting the time ‘1.05’ “at twenty-five minutes to two” he then headed out the door closing it behind him. The seven-boys made their way over to the pile of gym bags in the corner of the room to retrieve their water bottles and the snacks they had brought along with them that morning. Opening his bag Jungkook grabbed his already half-drunk bottle and the small energy bar from the bottom, grabbing his phone while he was in there. He unscrewed the cap, bringing the bottle to his lips Swallowing down his water like a man stranded in the desert. He made his way over to sit next to Tae who was sat sideways against the opposite wall also drinking from his water bottle while glancing at something on his phone. He peered over the older boy’s shoulder.“What you looking at Hyung?” he mumbled from behind the neck of his water bottle, the older boy in question looked up from his phone.“just scrolling, through twitter” he turned his phone upward so Jungkook could see the screen showing what page he was currently scrolling through, it happened to be G-dragon twitter page.Jungkook slowly sunk to the ground in a cross-legged position next to the other boy, as they struck up an enthusiastic conversation about their sunbaenim, Jimin soon following. While the elder four sat by the mirrored wall occasionally chatting with one another content with just resting after a grueling three hours dancing, that was until there contented rest was disturbed by an almost blinding flash of light, and a loud thump, emanating from the center of the room.“Oops, maybe I should have warned you to also brace yourselves for impact” a melodic voice chimed from within the fading light, multiple groans were heard in response.“damn it I forgot to tell you to put on face masks and to pull your hoods up too, let me just fix that for you, I’m so forgetful today” the same voice was heard again, with an obvious smirk on their lips as they said this, soon followed by what sounded like the click of fingers “there all better” she/he/they? Chirped again.The original occupants of the room flew up from their seated positions shocked and a little terrified at what just occurred in front of them, the three younger boys hastily making their way over to the four elders. Almost tripping over their own feet. When the light finally fully faded a bazaar, site lay in front of them. Shocked faces quickly turning in the confused. In the centre of the room stood a blond, with their hand over their mouth trying in vain to muffle the laughter escaping, while they stood staring at what looked to be a pile of groaning bodies, hushed voices complaining about feeling sick, and something about ‘moving your foot out of my crotch or so help me I’ll kick you in yours! Hyung!’“come on now boys, it can’t be that bad” the only standing figure laughed “get up you have work to do”“Say'sthe supernatural being who’s used to this kind of thing, I think this is some sick kind of torture for you Miho-Ssi” One of the masked men moaned as they stood soon followed by the other six similarly masked face men. The now identified female turned to face the young Trainee’s rolling her eyes whilst doing so.“boys don’t complain, look” she gestured toward the group still looking on to the supernatural event with shocked faces “we made it to the right place” she added with a laugh. The men she was talking to took that moment to realize where they were and cast their gases upon the boy band to be, all the own faces becoming shocked and uttering the same phrase together like they were reading one another’s mind “HOLY SH*T !! it worked” the tall lanky one stood to the edge of the masked group then fell to the floor in a dead faint. The women earlier addressed as Miho tipped her head back and proceeded to break out into a hysterical cackle. Future BTS POV 1 st June 2013 The elder boys stood staring at their younger selves, that was until they heard a thump, and hysterics coming from the supernatural being that had brought them here.“oh, god that’s Rich” she snorted “he fainted” the woman in question wiped the tears from her eyes as she strode over to the downed man, tapping his cheek lightly.“come on get up” she sighed all laughter from earlier gone from her voice, Jin rushed over to his downed dongsaeng, soon followed by the others in his group for now completely ignoring the younger versions of themselves, in favor of helping their easily scared and shocked member.“Come on Hobi” Jin Whispered crouching down next to Miho and the latter mentioned boy’s eyelids began to flutter, as he mumbled incoherent words, before shooting up into a seated position head butting Jin in the process.“Aish!” they groaned together clutching their now thumping foreheads.“Crap Hyung” the dancer panicked “are you okay?”“yes, I’m fine, but are you? you took quite a fall there” Jin reiterated staring into the eyes of the other. the dancer smiled behind his mask nodding his head.“don’t worry so much, you know how I can be, I was just shocked is all, no harm done”Their small conversation was interrupted, by a rough but familiar voice.“what the Fuck is Going on?” Yoongi yelled across the room. Miho turned to the group they had intruded on. "Ah yes, we forgot about you" She smiled "supposed we should explain what going on here really”She slowly moved toward the trainees leaving her charges in the center of the room. She stopped a step away from the angry Daegu boy staring into his eyes. he dropped eye contact after a few moments not liking the vibe he was getting from her.“I like the other you better” she whispered under her breath “he would have held my gaze for far longer, has more bite to him to” Yoongi expression momentarily moved to confused before he once again showing anger.“now then I suppose I should answer your question boy, no matter how rude it was put forward” she sighed like it was some great feet. “you should sit this will most probably take a while” when the boys in front of her looked on worried she addressed them again “you needn’t worry, I and my companions mean you no harm you have my word, it’s just that it would be more comfortable for you, me and my group if we were seated”The boy unhurriedly lowered themselves to the dance room floor, waiting apprehensively for the women to continue, the young maknae peered around the deity, to get a closer look at the group that arrived with her as they made their way forward dropping the bags they were holding before they too dropped to the floor, they looked quite intimidating to the sixteen-year-old. Masks over their faces and hoods pulled up casting shadows on their facial features making it hard to identify them. As they moved around and got comfortable on the floor across from him and his group you could see they themselves seemed nervous. Once the boys around her got comfortable The Woman began to pace between the two groups quietly mumbling under her breath so that only herself could understand what was said, Suga (future Yoongi, as of now all future BTS with be addressed by their stage names for less confusion) Soon began to lose his patience with the assumed immortal being.“Excuse me” he bit out through gritted teeth, his gravelly rough voice gaining everyone’s attention, not just the girls “But would you hurry the fuck up we aren’t getting any younger here” making both Jin’s younger and older, immediately react with the usual reprimand of ‘language’. They turned to each other shocked before laughing. The laughter cut short by the loud exclamation form Miho.“Got it, right” she turned to address the younger of the two groups “My name is Miho, and long story short I’m not human.” Loud cries of shock left the trainees mouths “Don’t interrupt me please the boy’s now as I Was saying I am not human, let’s just say I’m a supernatural being who has one of the many powers to travel between dimension and through time. how can I prove this you may ask, well how many people do you see a day appearing in the middle of your Practice room in a blinding flash of light? Not many I can tell you.” This earned her a few laughs from the group she brought with her and deadpan looks from the group she was addressing “now you may be asking yourselves why has this great and mystical being graced us with her presence, what has the beautiful creature come here for”Yoongi let out a snort “big ego much” Earning him a glare in return“Well boys let me tell you, I am here because I was bored and wanted some fun, but that is another tale for another day.” She finished her loud speech, clearing her throat “but in all seriousness, I’m actually here to, give you a gift and to ease some doubts you may have. You see boys I know a lot about you, your names, your dreams, where you hope to be in a few years’ time” she glanced back to the hooded group behind her all of them had gone still and silent “How much you worry about not being able to make it in the Idol business, your fears of disbandment, but it’s okay. As I said before I have many powers One of them being time travel, I can tell you, you needn’t worry so much boys. I have seen it” seen finished with a gentle smile. She looked at the faces of the boys in front of her they had gone quiet, eyes wide and looking up to her in shock, but she knew they would not take this information lying down, for no one ever did. They were mortals things like this were Nye impossible for them but for her, it was a mere fraction of the power she held, but before they could say anything the door to the practice room was opened and none other than Mr. Son and Bang-PD entered. Shock quickly becoming apparent on their faces.“what’s going on here? Who are you people” the founder of big hit spoke with authority, Miho brought her hand up to her face rubbing her temples? Having completely forgotten to lock the door in her rush to explain things. “You know what I’m not going through all that again, Look I’m sorry sir but can you close the door and I’ll explain as quickly as I can” she huffed“you're luckily I’m a patient and reasonable man, you have five minutes to explain what’s going on here and how you got into my building before your thrown out” Bang- Si-hyuk spoke arms crossed over his chest, as Mr. Son shut the door.“Okay long story short I’m a time-traveling spirit, who has brought along some companions to help your trainee group here, by easing some doubts they have about themselves and their future as Idols” she reeled off while gesturing to both groups of boys beside her. The older man laughed,“that’s the most ridiculous and craziest thing I have ever heard. Now you have 2 minutes to leave my building before I call the authorities and have you forcibly removed, boys come here and move away from those lunatics” the boys in question got to their feet and did as instructed. Miho just laughed. Looking at the nine people in front of her dead in the eye.“Oh, sir it is far from ridiculous, let me ask you, something. Out of the whole time, I was explaining this to you, and your trainee group none of you thought to ask if I’m as powerful as I say why did I bring seven other people with me” she stated the obvious. As she said this the seven men behind her who had stayed quiet till now rose to their feet moving to stand beside her. “Well it goes like this” she smiled “the only thing you can believe the most in the world is your thoughts, feelings, and actions for it is very hard to lie to yourself. This is exactly why I bought these gentlemen along to help. You can remove your hoods and mask now boys” she instructed. Bang Si-hyuk, Mr. Son and the soon to be Bangtan boys were on edge. the unidentified men stood beside the self-acclaimed goddess, that had hardly said a word till now removed the items as instructed, revealing their long-hidden faces.“Bang PD, Mr. Son and young boys of Bangtan, please may I introduce to you: Jin, Suga, J-hope, RM, Jimin, V and the Golden Maknae Jungkook of Bangtan Sonyeondan.” She finished with a proud grin.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter two
Overall POV 1 st June 2013 The elder band stood awkwardly behind the Goddess, while the younger versions of themselves, their dance Teacher and Bang-PD stared back shocked. Mouths hanging open in disbelief.“Believe me now” Miho Giggled “Hard to fake something like this” she gestured to the Boys behind her. There was no reply from the shocked group.“I think we broke them Miho-Ssi” Giggled V Earning him a light cuff round the back of the head from RM.“V, shut up” he sighed exasperated, V dramatically grabbed his head in pain, turning to His leader's eyes wide and watery and his bottom lip stuck out in an overly dramatic fashion.“Hyung that hurt, why are you so mean, to me?” he cried. This seemed to break the atmosphere in the room caused by Miho’s reveal.“This is so weird” Mumbled Mr. Son Earning him a laugh from Si-hyuk“Indeed, Son-ah please lock the door, so we are not disturbed by anyone else I have a feeling we’re going to be here a while” The man stood to do as instructed, soon making his way back to the group once he was sure the door was securely locked.“So, Miho?” the man begun again “mind telling more on what you’re doing here, and how long you are going to be staying with us?” the women in question smiled before speaking to the older men.“me? I’m only here for an escort and to give you a brief overview on how we got here the rest, well that’s up to these boys, but now what I came here to do is complete” she spun on the spot now facing the men she brought with her “boys you know how to contact me if you need me, Chow” and with a quick wave and mocking bow she was gone. The time travelers spluttered.“wait, what?” Jin choked “that’s it. She’s just leaving us here like that” Suga put his hand on the twenty-six-year-olds shoulder.“What did you, expect. I knew from the start she was a bitch” he stated sarcastically“Yoongi language, no matter how much it’s true, you’re in the presence of people younger than you” He got a sharp laugh in return. They were interrupted by someone clearing their throat they looked away from each other to meet the eyes of the group opposite. They blushed at the feeling of 9 pairs of eyes on them. RM stepped forward falling into his role as leader perfectly.“hi,” he started awkwardly “this is pretty weird. Just to start things off we are as new to this development as your all are, just hours ago we were backstage after a concert, when Miho Walked into our changing rooms and gave us the offer to come here, so I’m not entirely sure how this should go myself. Ah…. yeah” he rubbed the back of his neck nervously “to answer the question you asked PD-Nim, We can stay here as long or as little as you need us to we’ve come prepared for both, we’ve bought Clothes and money, Because from personal experience we know how little of that is going around at the moment, We’ve also bought some stuff to show you if you would like to see it? After all, we came here to help” he finished with a smile. Mr. Bang (I will use this to address him sometimes as it easier for me) smiled in return to the tallboy.“thank you Namjoon-ah, Should I call you Namjoon? This is going to get confusing fast” he laughed“Just call us all by our stage names, it will make it easier for us all, although I do go by RM now, not Rapmonster” the rapper replied earning snorts from his band members, they knew the story behind his name change and they still found it highly amusing to tease him for it.Bang-PD nodded “Is it okay if we take turns in asking you all some questions we might have? Then we will get into the detailed stuff after?” he asked uncertain of the situation.“Of course, would you and Chorographer-Nim like to go first then from there we will go by age?” The leader offered he received another nod in return.“yes, that will make things easier, but first, boys” he turned the quiet group behind him, who were all still in a daze staring at their older selves. They jumped in shock turning to the man addressing them.“could you go grab enough chairs for everyone so we don’t have to stand or sit on the floor as it would be most uncomfortable for the amount of time I foresee us being here” the group in question scurried off to the store cupboard on the other side of the room, soon making their way back over with sixteen chairs. Kookie walked over to the group of older bandmates handing out chairs all the while not making eye contact. He received mumbled thanks in return and a small giggle from Jimin before scurrying back over to his group where a chair was waiting for him squished between Seokjin and Jiminnie.“thank you, boys” Bang sighed as he sat down “So, gentlemen my question is, and I feel a fool for asking this. But what year did you travel back from?”“We came back from twenty-nineteen, June first, PD-Nim” answered Jimin with an eye smile. Bang Si-hyuk whistled.“that’s Six years from now correct? that would make you all in your twenties now, you all look very well. I pleased to hear your still together after all this time, Mr son your turn” The chorographer cleared his throat“firstly, boys I’ve not had the chance to greet you so, hello” he waved “this is so unbelievable that it makes it believable if that makes sense” he laughed “but my question is what’s your current discography?” RM looked straight at Suga and smiled.“you can take this one Hyung” The man in question rolled his eyes but you could tell he was secretly pleased to be able to answer this question.“currently its standing at about, six studio albums, five compilation albums, fifty-nine music videos that's including all solo projects, teaser videos basically anything on our YouTube channel over the one minute thirty mark, six Ep’s off the top of my head without checking up on it that's all I can remember right now” he finished with a smug look. The young Bangtan’s along with Mr. Son and Mr. Bang mouths dropped open in shock.“what, you asked” the Daegu boy snorted.“Impressive, Seokjin-ah it’s your turn,” said Mr. Son, the twenty-year-old looked startled for a moment, before opening his mouth to speak.“Earlier you mentioned being backstage at a concert, what was it for?” he asked intrigued“I knew one of you would pick up on that” smiled Rap-monster “but I think, V would be better off answering that question, seeing how he wouldn’t shut up about it earlier” (referring to the beginning of chapter two). V blushed when all eyes turned to him his bubbly personality not shining through like normal, but within moments he was smiling his boxy smile again. “yeah, the concert was phenomenal, I got pictures, I’ll have to show you later!. Army bombs the number of fans, the fan chants, it was amazing and so fun, the Army’s loved it” the boy began to ramble, before Jin stopped him, with a hand to the shoulder.“V honey you're rambling again, calm down” the brunette blushed once more, nibbling lightly on his lip in embarrassment.“sorry Hyung, what I meant to say is it was one of two concerts we were performing...” he paused looking at RM for confirmation to see if it was okay to continue, the leader nodded.“Go ahead V it's part of what we are here for” you could tell the younger Bangtan were extremely confused and unsure about what was being discussed, but they waited patiently.“Well...” V began again leaving a pause for dramatic effect “like I said it was one of two concerts that we were performing at the one and only, Wembley stadium in London!!!!!”He finished with his box smile excitement rolling off him in waves. The room was so silent you could probably be able to hear a pin drop.“oh my god” gasped Seokjin astonished “that just, that's… oh my god” the time-traveling group smiled as they looked at their younger counterparts you had to look closely but you could see tears brimming in their eyes, and could physically feel the excitement rolling off them all“T-that just brings up more question I want to ask but as much as I don’t want to it’ll have to wait till later, it’s your turn now Yoongi” The Daegu boy looked up trying and struggling to keep his impassive facade, but the older group could tell he wasn’t succeeding due to living with Suga for so many years they could read him like a book.“Right” he began “Have you hit your Break even Point (the point when the artists start to make their own money and no longer owe the company anything if I got that right), the band is it successful?”“yes, Yoongi-ah, the band is successful, and we have reached the BEP and then some” Jin answered with a loving smile.“good” the rapper yawned trying again to seem unbothered, he nudged Hoseok to signal to the boy it was his turn. The dancer cleared his throat, sitting up straighter in his chair, smiling lightly.“Are you happy? And enjoying yourselves, do you make your fans happy?” He asked staring at the older version of his band, knowing that he would be the best to ask this sort of question.“oh, you can bet on that, and then some” his doppelgänger grinned a thousand-watt heart smile.“I’m glad” Hoseok replied with a smile “Your up Namjoon-ah”“Do we have many international fans?” the leader to be, spoke evenly“yes, we have plenty of Korean and International fans, you’ve heard of the billboard charts in America well with our newest album we managed to stay quite high up in the running for that for quite a few weeks oh and the fact that our stadium tour tickets sold out within minutes of going on sale, including both days… at Wembley” Answered the maknae, Namjoon didn’t say anything in return but had an amazed look on his face, Jimin took this as his queue to ask his question.“Have you ever performed at the MAMA’s” He asked. So many questions going around in his head, he didn’t know which one to choose.“Yes, we’ve performed there a good amount, the most memorable MAMA awards we were at was in 2016 though, we won our first Daesang award, Artist of the year in fact. Thanks to all our fans” said Rapmonster the younger BTS’s heads shot up at the mention of the award.“What, are you serious?” Bang asked. The elder leader laughed, but before he could answer V butted in.“Yeah and Yoongi Hyung cried like a baby” the man in question head spun around so fast you could hear his neck bone’s click.“you little brat, I certainly did not” he growled this caused the rest of the maknae line to giggle.“there’s no use denying it Hyung they are going to see the video, it’s nothing to be ashamed of, I think we all cried” sniggered Jungkook, the elder just huffed in defeat, slumping down in his chair, staring daggers at the Maknae’s“Tae, it’s your turn I believe” Bang-PD smiled“what were the Army bombs my older self mentioned”“you must mean our light sticks” spoke Jin softly “we are on our third version of them, they link up to Bluetooth at our concerts and flash and change color with the music”“whoa” the younger Maknae’s sighed in unison“And Finally, it’s your turn Kookie” the elder Jin stated, the small maknae blushed at all the attention, scared to open his mouth.“how many fans were at the concert in London” he mumbled quietly, looking down in his lap, playing with his long sleeves, the older Maknae watched him with suspicious eye’s, raising an eyebrow when he caught sight of a purple bruise looking mark on the other's wrist before the younger pulled his sleeve back over it, Jungkook shook his head he would have to address that later. This whole moment, however, went unnoticed by the others in the room.“well” Yoongi drawled lowly “it’s easier to repeat what was said earlier, when tickets went on sale they sold out within four minutes. If that gives any indication and the stadium seats 90,000 people”“holy shit” sputtered Taehyung“language” both Jin’s yelled laughing. Bang-PD rose to his feet, stretching slightly to wake up his sleeping muscles from sitting for as long as they had been.“Right, thank you, boys, for taking the time to answer our question however tedious they were, but you said something about pictures and videos you could show us, I could have a laptop and projector set up if you have a way of connecting your devices to it?” Mr. Bang said thoughtfully.“no problem PD-nim, it’s what we came here to do, and yes a laptop and projector would make things much easier, we have so much to show you” smiled RM Bang-PD left the room briefly to fetch the equipment that RM had requested, leaving the two bands and the dance teacher alone. The silence, while he was gone, was awkward until Taehyung groaned and turned to Mr. Son“Hyung I’m Hungry, with all this going on we haven’t had chance to eat yet” He dramatically cried falling from his chair onto the floor, making Bangtan young and older snicker, the chorographer just sighed and rolled his eye at the boy dramatics, sometimes he wonders what he ever did to deserve this torture. Before he could reply he was saved by the bell, well more like his time traveling saviors.“if you want to order some take out” began Jin “I’ll foot the bill, just this once” he finished knowing from personal experience that take out was a rare commodity for the young trainees. he earned wide surprised eyes in response“really?” Hoseok squealed, Jin laughed at the young rapper before replying“I wouldn’t offer if I didn’t mean it, and it’s kinda our fault you haven’t been able to eat, just order something and I’ll pay” The rapper squealed in delight again before shooting up from his seat and grabbing the older man in a hug bouncing up and down on the spot.“Thank you, thank you, thank you” he chanted, Jin just giggled at the sunshine boy. Luckily, he was saved by the boy’s young leader.“Come on Hobi, don’t shake the poor guy’s brain’s out his ears” Namjoon laughed “if you’re that excited, why don’t you start sorting out the order?” the dancer quickly ran back over to his chair and begun conversing with his bandmates to figure out the what they wanted. Namjoon turned back to Jin and smiled.“Sorry he can be a bit, Erm” he gestured to the hyper boy behind him “erratic” he laughed again Jin smiled, and looked fondly back at his hyper ball of sunshine, who was chatting quietly with Jimin, V, and Jungkook. While RM and Suga were playing with their phones.“oh, I know” Namjoon smiled at the brotherly love he saw in the older version of his Hyung eyes when he looked upon his group.“And” he started awkwardly, hand raised to the back of his neck in a nervous habit “I haven’t had a chance to say this yet but thank you for coming here and doing this for us, it’s still so unbelievable” Jin laughed lightly, before raising his hand to the young man’s shoulder.“there is no need for thanks Joonie” Before he could say more the door to the room opened once more and everyone tensed, however, they sighed in relief once they saw it was Bang-PD coming back carrying a laptop, charger and a small wall projector.“don’t be so jumpy boys, I’ve let everyone know not to disturb us so no one will enter this room without phoning me about what they need first” He finished with a small smile. He turned to RM who had put his phone away as soon as the man had started talking.“would you like to set this up for us and get things moving?” he asked holding out the devices toward the boy. But before the god of destruction could lay a hand on anything Suga was there taking the objects from the man's hands.“nope I’ll do it” he spoke gruffly “if you ever want anything to stay in working order, do not let him touch any of it” he finished while kneeling to plug everything in and connect his phone to the laptop so he could access the videos he needed from his own timeline. Both boys in question time traveler and not blushed at the implication of Suga’s statement, and that they knew what the older had said did, in fact, have some truth to it.“I’ll keep that in mind” Bang laughed he turned to look at the young trainee’s and the elder Jin who during this conversation moved over to the group to arrange the take-out order.“what’s going on here, that’s got Hoseok-ah all worked up?” the company owner questioned. The sunshine boy turned to look at the man with a bright smile before answering.“Jin Hyung here” he energetically spoke, gesturing to the time traveler “offered to buy us some food, as we didn’t get a chance to get anything from the cafeteria as all this happened, are you wanting anything Hyung-nim?” he finished“that’s very nice of him, but I’m going to decline that generous offer as I have already eaten” the man replied, nodding at Jin “thank you though Jin-ah” earning him a smile from the man.“your loss Hyung” the dancer giggled before turning back to his group “so that everyone’s order, okay I’ll just pop down to reception and give them the money and ask them to order for us and to call up when it’s here” he rushed, before jumping up and leaving the room.“were you ever that energetic in our trainee days Hyung,” Jungkook asked his own groups Hobi, before thinking about his question some more. “wait what am I saying of course you were” he finished with a laugh earning him a light punch in the arm from the man he was teasing.“right we’re all set and ready to go” Suga interrupted everyone just as the door opened and Hoseok walked back in.“they said the food should be here in about thirty minutes” he smiled before looking toward Suga, “oh are we all ready to go?” he asked as he took his seat once more“yep,” Suga yawned “what do you want to watch first?” at this question Jimin gasped loudly, arm’s flinging around in his excitement.“Why don’t we show them the video of the rainbow ocean first? Back from 2017?” he suggested, a collective ‘yes’ went around the room. Suga looked toward Hitman bang for his approval.“I think that’s a unanimous vote all around so go ahead” he smiled taking a seat back with the others, Suga turned back to the laptop and his phone and after messing around a little the projector sprung to life projecting on to the back wall of the dance room. He brought up YouTube and quickly searched through videos that ARMY’s had posted online of the rainbow ocean choosing a video at random, he quickly pressed play and moved back to his seat, the time travelers watched the trainees, their dance teacher, and boss watch the video with smiles on their faces chuckling occasionally at their reactions, when the video came to an end Suga moved back over to the laptop and navigated the site back to it home screen ready for the next video to be chosen.“so,” he asked smiling to the shocked group in front of him “what did you think?” …. After Suga’s question, the room erupted into chaos, too many voices coming toward him at once, from the young group. He couldn’t hear his thoughts let alone anything they were asking him.“quiet!!” a booming voice echoed off the dance room’s walls, the room went silent at Bang-PD’s command. The Daegu rapper breathed a sigh of relief.“now if you have something to say” the CEO began “which I’m sure you have, have some manner and order and take it in turns the poor boy can’t hear you” he sighed Exasperated, the young boys looked down to the floor embarrassed,“Sorry,” Namjoon said as he looked up toward the rapper. “but I think I can speak for everybody when I say HOLY SHIT!” he screamed, Suga just snorted. Neither Jin’s could reprimand the young leader for his use of language because he voiced everybody's thoughts exactly.“that was so pretty, and there were so many people” Jiminnie exhaled in awe“they were chanting for you” added Kookie“It looked so amazing” Sighed Tae dreamilyThe time travelers couldn’t help but burst into laughter as their younger selves. When the laughter died down J-hope turned to the boy in charge of the computer equipment.“hey Yoong’s” giggled J-hope “put on the dance practice video for BST next, I wanna see their reaction to that”“Hobi” sighed Jin “of course you would want them to watch that next” he finished knowing that the dancer just wanted to embarrass the younger group with the choreography for that song (meaning all the crotch-grabbing XD) The rapper did as asked and brought the video up.“you guys are going to love this” he laughed before pressing play and heading back to his seat.Throughout the video, the young men voiced multiple reactions ranging from shocked gasps to hiding their blushing faces behind their hands or in the shoulder of the person next to them. Making time travelers laugh.“that was, Different” Coughed Namjoon as the video ended “amazing but, you know different”“Damn, those crotch grabs!” Tae Blurted out, the room went silent and everyone turned to the erratic boy, who realized what he had just shouted for the whole room to here, and went red as a tomato.“Tae honey” Seokjin spoke sweetly to the blushing boy beside him “are you okay you seem to have gone a bit red” the boy squished his face into his Hyung’s shoulder in reply to embarrassed for any words to make it out of his mouth.“when was, that song released?” Kookie asked shyly, the time travelers, looked at the small maknae, the elders of the group wondering when their own Kookie stopped being so small, shy and adorable.“The actual music video was posted on to the YouTube channel on October ninth, twenty-sixteen” answered J-hope “it reached ten million views in under forty-eight hours, which broke the current record” he finished.“whoa!!” the young group spoke in awe.“That’s an amazing accomplishment, boys well done” the CEO congratulated, before he could say more the phone by the door started to ring, the young hyperactive dancer shot up from his chair and rushed to the phone to answer it”“Hello?” he questioned “oh okay, I’ll be down to fetch it in a moment, thank you” he finished before hanging up, he turned to face the others in the room with a giant grin on his face“that was the reception attendant, the food has arrived, Kookie-ah can you come to give me a hand bringing it up please?”“sure Hyung!” the shy maknae replied by joining the tall dancer and making their way out of the room. Everyone left moved into a comfortable silence, while they waited for the food.“so” Suga started with a yawn “anything you want to be shown or questions you want answering, once you have eaten?“Could we see the time that you got the Daesang award?” Seokjin questioned, the rapper sighed before answering.“Sure, why the hell not”

Chapter Three
(~Jiminnie’s POV~)
After the older Yoongi’ answered Jin-Hyung’s question I sat quietly with the others, the silence was reasonably comfortable, but for me it was unnerving. It gave me a chance to think about what was happening, the time travelling and about the food that Hoseok-Hyung and Kookie-ah were going to bring up to us in a few moments, and how I was going to get out of eating my share of it. Although I was hungry, I had already eaten my food allowance for the day and even that was too much, I lost myself to the sweetness of the apple and before I knew it I had taken more than the single bite I had planed. The hunger won over my will this time, I just had to be more strict on myself for the rest of the week.I started to fiddle nervously with the hem of my hoodie, the wait was getting to me, the prolonged silence allowing my brain to start to turn the worries over and start to whisper vicious things to me, horrible but true things, thing I deserved to hear because of my failure!.‘you’re the weak link in this band’ it spat ‘when they debut which they will they won’t need someone like you holding them back, look at all their slim figures next to yours, you’re like a balloon inflating more with every bit of food you stuff into your black hole of a stomach, disgusting, weak, useless’ I bit my lip trying to hold back the tears’ staring down into my lap I realised I had picked at the skin of my hand so much I had made it bleed, a bad habit I had developed , I saw dark spots begin appearing on the fabric of my pant leg raising my hand to my cheek I realised I had failed in stopping myself from crying. I quickly wiped the tears away before looking back up discreetly as I could to see if the others in the room to see if I had been caught. I gave a sigh of relief when I saw that everyone still conversing amongst themselves, that was until I looked over to the group of time-travellers.My own doppelgänger and the elder Jin were looking upon me with sad pitying looks that made a small fire of rage build in my lower stomach, or maybe that was the hunger, how dare they look at me like that they have no right. It made me momentarily forget about my fears of food, not being good enough for our future fans when we debuted. That was until Hobi-Hyung followed by an embarrassed Maknae slammed open the door.“Hyung” the tomato faced boy groaned “do you have to be so loud” he finished with a whine as he closed the door quietly in comparison to our sunshine dancers opening of it. I blanched the fear and panic quickly returning at the sight of the obviously greasy and fattening food contained in the food cartons they both carried, completely missing what Hobi was saying, I was only focused on the tight restricting feeling of my chest and throat. that was until I was brought back from my near anxiety attack by a kind voice and assuring hand on my shoulder.“Jiminnie honey” the elder version of my Eomma-Hyung spoke gently, I looked up to meet his soft eyes.“Will you come with me for a moment, I just want to talk to you. if that’s okay?”I nodded in a silent agreement my throat to choked up to verbally reply. I didn’t notice till I rose to my feet that my twin was stood just behind Jin’s left shoulder but he wasn’t looking at me but toward my bleeding hand which had now begin to bleed more vigorously. I covered it quickly by pulling down my hoodie sleeve and then covering it with my other hand before looking back up to meet his eyes that again were filled with sadness. Once again anger began to bubble in my chest.“come on sweetie” Jin cut in again breaking me from my reverie he grabbed my none bleeding hand and began to lead me quietly out of the room followed closely by my time travelling twin. I was confused and my anxiety began to build in my chest feeling like a crushing vice as he pulled me into the studio across the hall, I started to lose focus on my surroundings my vision become tunnelled, my breathing picking up as I started to hyperventilate, breaths raspy and forced as I struggled to take in the air I so desperately needed. lowering myself to the ground almost falling in the process, reaching forward I pulled my knees to my chest in a vain attempt to feel safe while listening to the voice in my head say vile things to me. “They know how disgusting you are” it sneered “they can see that your fat, they are going to tell you all about your failures in the future, how you let the band down with your subpar dancing and singing, how they’re going to kick you out and get rid of you” I couldn’t hear anything but the voice whispering in my brain, I couldn’t feel the tears running down my cheeks, I didn’t realise that my gentle Hyung and doppelgänger were calling my name in a vain attempt to calm me. Everything knew was the sweet darkness around me and the ugly words being recited in my head.
(~TT Jin POV~)
When the boys left to fetch the food my thoughts immediately went to Jimin and how he was during pre-debut in our own timeline where we were oblivious to his inner turmoil and the disgusting things he thought about and the voices he listened to daily, that whispered hurtful untrue things to our precious mochi. I turned to him and I could see the forlorn look marring his beautiful features.“Jimin?” I whispered in question, he turned to me like he had just realised where he was.“Sorry Hyung” he mumbled embarrassed at being caught “I was just thinking” he sighed, oh I knew that luck it was the one he got when he was thinking about the early days when he still thought the horrible things his brain conjured up were true, when he eventually, once we began to find out what was wrong and made him see a doctor, was diagnosed with an eating disorder and mild depression an anxiety. It breaks my heart just thinking about it, but he’s better now, not cured but better I don’t think anyone can ever be completely cured of something like that, always at risk of a relapse And when he has days when the voices get to loud and he has thought of not eating, we as a family drowned them out with our love, we cuddle him when he needs us too, we tell him how perfect he is and how we could never be without him, how we couldn’t ‘live’ without him.“what’s got you thinking about that again Minnie?” I asked as I crouched before him. He looked shocked for a moment before smiling.“You know me so well Hyung” he laughed lightly “and it him that’s got me thinking about it” he added before discreetly gesturing over to his younger self. We both looked at the younger boy. He was looking down at his lap picking at the skin of his hand making it bleed. Before raising his none injured hand to his cheek to quickly wipe away his silent tears. He then proceeded to look around the room looking if he had been caught, sighing in what looked like relief till he spotted the both of us watching him. He made eye contact with us. He looked away abruptly when the door slammed open and the young Hobi and Jungkook entered the room noisily. I kept my eyes on the boy throughout the new pairs entrance missing what they were saying completely. His face went through a series of different emotions, fear, panic, sadness.“come on Jimin” I spoke quietly to the boy beside me “we need to talk to him, and who better to do so than himself, someone who understands what he’s going through”He replied with a hesitant silent nod before raising from his seat and following behind me. Firstly, we made our way over to our young leader to inform him briefly of what we were planning on doing. I tap the Joonie on the shoulder before leaning down to whisper into his ear.“both Jiminnie’s and I are just going to step out for a moment for a quick chat, we’ll be back shortly”He looked at me confused for a moment after glancing over at the younger Jimin a look of understanding crossed his features.“okay, shout if you need anything, you know we’ll be there in a heartbeat” he said softly with a small smile. I nodded my head before turning and heading over to the panicking boy, Jimin following closely behind. I placed my hand gently on his shoulder before speak in the gentlest tone I could as not to spook the boy.“Jiminnie Honey” he looked up dazed “will you come with me for a moment I just want to talk, if that’s okay?” he answered with a nod, I could see the tears resting on his lashes he stood slowly, before noticing his copy was stood behind me, he must have noticed Jimin looking at his injured hand as he hastily covered the offending appendage before anything could be said and start a commotion in the crowded room I grabbed hold of his none bleeding hand and led him out the room to the empty studio across the across the hall so nobody would be able to spot both Jimin’s and ask questions I couldn’t answer.When the door was shut behind us both by the older Minnie, I turned to face the boys who’s hand I still hand clutched in my own in a tight grip. I saw that his eyes had glazed over as he lost the grip on my hand, he began to rapidly hyperventilate before dropping to the floor and pulling himself into an upright foetal position tears pouring down his face as sobs and incoherent mumbles fell out his mouth unrestrained.Me and the elder Jimin sprang into action kneeling behind him wrapping his arms around the frail boy, I placed my hands on his tear stained face, rubbing the falling tears away with my thumbs.“baby can you hear me?” I spoke slowly so the boy could hear and understand me through whatever was happening inside his head “come back to us baby, none of what your thinking is true” I spoke while crying myself. The boys tear filled eyes cleared of the fog momentarily.“Hyung” he choked out through harsh breaths “I’m sorry I’m so useless I don’t deserve to be here, I’m a talentless burden, I’m sorry” he finished with a cry before he was once again lost to the fog.
(~ TT Jimin’s POV~)
Watching my younger self break down in my arms shocked me, but at the same time finally made everything clear to me. Watching him cry as my Hyung held his face in his hands as he sobbed out incoherent words, I realised what everyone saw wrong with what I was like at the same stage back during pre-debut, when I believed I wasn’t good enough, hell sometimes I still believe those things until my ‘brothers’ come save me and snap me out of it.I saw how ill and frail the young boy looked because he believed he shouldn’t eat because he didn’t deserve to, because he was too ‘fat’. I needed to do something to help to stop this before it had a chance to truly start, save him from himself so he can live happy, and not have to go through what I had.“Hyung” I spoke releasing one hand from my younger self to tap Jin on the shoulder gaining his attention, he looked at me tears visible in his eyes. “what is it Minnie?” he chocked out through his tears, I wiped the tears from his cheeks with my thumb before answering.“let me try Hyung” I said as I stared into his eyes “I know what he’s going through, I know how to help” my eldest Hyung nodded in response before moving to stand behind me. I moved in front of the boy holding him in my arms, sucking in a sharp breath at the feeling of his jutting out ribs against my hands from under his baggy hoodie, is this how I was, is this how my Hyung’s and little maknae felt when they held me, like their heart was being crushed, the heart-breaking worry?“Jiminnie” I began with a whisper moving my lips closer to his ear “Jiminnie, I need to know if you can hear me?” he barely moved his head in response ‘good’ I thought he’s not too far gone into his own mind, that he doesn’t know what’s going on.“I need you to know something Minnie, I know how your feeling, what you’re thinking. I truly do” tears were beginning to fall down my cheeks “you need to know that none of it is true, it’s all lies. Your perfect, your bandmates no your brothers love you, don’t listen to anything that vile voice is saying” I paused to catch my breath and to wipe some of my own tears away he needed to know these things. I needed to stop his decent into the dark abyss that I found myself in, before my bandmates, my family reached out to me and brought me back out of that cold dark place and back into their warm loving arms.“they care about you, your apart of something so great so important that they wouldn’t be the same without you, they wouldn’t be BTS!, they wouldn’t be able to live without their little mochi” during my speech the boys trembling had died down, the sobbing had become the occasional hiccup and sniffle. The room was silent but soon broken by a quiet scratchy voice.“do you mean that? Is all of that true?” the broken boy questioned, red swollen eyes sore from crying boring into mine. I gave him a small reassuring smile, hand reaching up to wipe away the tears on his cheek.“why would I lie to you? it would be like lying to a part of me” I finished the fragile boy grasped my shirt in an iron grip, pushing his head into my chest.“help me please, I don’t know what to do, I don’t’ want to be like this any more” he pleaded tears once more beginning to fall. I felt rest a hand on my shoulder along one resting on my twins. I looked up to see Jin giving us both a sad smile.“the road to recovery starts with admitting something is wrong” he spoke wisely, the boy who I held nodded quickly, still sniffling, and probably staining my shirt with tears and snot, but I didn’t mind “and don’t worry, that’s exactly what we came here to do” he reassured with another smile this one slightly happier.
(~TT Namjoon POV~)
After Jin hand taken both Jiminnie’s out of the room nobody noticed their absence to busy receiving or eating their food as Kookie and Hobi handed it out, that was until he came to the absentee’s food. They both stood confused in the centre of the room cartons in hand.“Wait!” Hoseok spoke “Where’s Jiminnie?, no scratch that where are both Jimin’s and the older Jin Hyung?” he then proceeded to look around the room for what must have been the third time, expecting them to spontaneously appear or jump out of one of the store closets and scream surprise.‘I suppose I should explain to them really ’ I thought to myself with a small grimace, this isn’t going to be easy.“they should be back soon” I started everyone’s eyes turned on me “They just stepped out to talk, Our Jimin” I gestured to my little group of time-travellers “he needed to talk to his younger-self about something important, and it couldn’t wait especially with the impending delivery of food “I heard a gasp from behind me, I turned to see Jungkook with his hand in front of his mouth and an expression of suprise on his face that showed he had just realised what was going on.“Shit” he sighed looking down at his lap “It’s been so long since Jimin-Hyung’s had an episode that I forgot, he’s been doing so well recently” he finished sadly, I looked him in the eye and smiled in sympathy.“you’re not the only one Guk” I admitted reluctantly. A voice broke the moment between me and the maknae.“wait! What’s going on? What do you mean episode?” young Tae questioned puzzled, I sighed again I think that’s going to be a frequent reaction today, this is going to take a while to explain.“well if you want the whole story, showing you all the next video’s is going to have to wait” I spoke seriously while starting at the young group, chorographer and CEO.“of course, we’ll wait especially for something that’s sounds as serious as this especially if it involves Jiminnie” Yoongi said gruffly, I nodded in understanding before starting the long explanation.“okay, around this time for us ‘pre-debut’ I mean, but obviously in our own timeline we started to notice something off about Jimin, you are all probably noticing it yourselves already, am I, right?”The group in front of me responded with Hums and nods in reply.“At first, we all thought it was nerves getting to him, with him being one of the last to join the group, with it being so close to debut and all, but how wrong we were. After debut it started to get steadily worse, he would never eat with us always giving us some excuse, to tiered, not hungry right now, I feel sick, I’m going to the gym I’ll eat later”I breathed a deep sigh, looking upon their faces to gauge their reactions to the information they were receiving, I could see the looks of horror and realisation. I looked down at my lap unable to keep explaining the story while looking at their faces feeling some shame at not seeing what was going on sooner I’m the groups leader for god’s sake I should have seen it happening.“even when he did eventually join us, he either didn’t eat enough or just pushed the food around on his plate to make it seem like he had eaten. We tried to deny what we were seeing, thinking what we knew in our hearts but didn’t want to believe. It stayed like this until he collapsed just as we were exiting the stage after a performance we couldn’t deny it any more”I was cut off by an unrestrained sob, I looked up to see tears in the doppelgänger groups eyes PD-Nim and chorographer-nim silent, the sob had originated from the younger Tae’s mouth tears running down his cheeks as he was held in a tight embrace by Hoseok, I let out a breath before continuing.“after we had gotten him back stage to the dressing room, as I carried him there” I stopped myself breathing in a deep breath calming myself, trying to hold back tears, I felt a reassuring hand on my shoulder and turned to see Yoongi giving me a sad but reassuring smile, I took another calming breath before continuing the horrible tale of a sick boy and his neglectful bandmates.“I-I could feel how thin he was how much his ribs jutted out uncomfortably through his pale skin, when the doctor we called arrived he insisted that he be hospitalized, that he was terribly malnourished, that he suspected that he was trying to crash diet that lots of idols did it and that it never worked just made them sick, we didn’t believe him, we didn’t until our precious Mochi awoke in tears the next day apologizing for how sorry he was, that he was sorry he was a burden, that he knew he wasn’t good enough that he promised to get better and that he so sorry that he was so fat. He actually believed that rubbish!” I spat, a mixture of frustrated and sad tears reluctantly running down my face, and from the looks of it the group in front of me even Bang-PD, Mr son, and even the normally stone faced Yoongi had the same problem and I knew the same went for my group without even looking behind me.“when the doctor saw him again he was diagnosed with anorexia narvosa, mild depression and anxiety, even now his treatment is still on-going and even now he still has days where he thinks those horrible things about himself, but comes to us and we help him chase away his demons. That’s why he and Jin aren’t here they took the younger Jimin somewhere private to talk to him, to help stop it before it even has a chance to truly start, because nobody should have to go through something like this, it’s one of the many reasons we came back to help!”I finished with conviction, our young doppelgänger were looking at me and my group with tears still resting on their lashes, but a different emotion in their eyes, it was a look of determination, they now knew they had a brother that needed there help and like a true member of Bangtan sonyeondan they knew what they had to do to help.
(~Jiminnie’s POV~)
Even though Jin and my older self said they would help me, no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t stop crying and I couldn’t stop thinking they were lying to me taking pity on the poor sick boy who was starving himself because he was ‘Insecure’.“Jiminnie admitting to yourself that you have a problem is the first step to recovery he smiled his own tears having stopped but the remanence still resting on his lashes, he removed the hand he had resting on my shoulder and held it out for me take to assisting me in getting up from my uncomfortable position on the floor, I took the offered appendage pulling myself up forgetting my injury that had made earlier, it had stopped bleeding but the stretching of my skin as I pulled back on Jin’s hand reopened the cut causing it to start bleeding again, I winced in pain at the feeling of the fragile scab that had formed tearing again.“we should get that bandaged” a carbon copy of my voice but deeper said from behind me, I turned to my duplicate only able to nod silently due to still being choked up, my twin smiled sadly bring his hand up to my face to wipe away the ‘traitorous tears’ away.“hey enough of that, your stronger than you think, don’t let this beat you like it almost did me”“I-I’ll try, it’s just so hard” I hiccuped, he nodded but before he could say anything Jin’s voice interrupted.“it’s okay to admit that its hard, nobody will think any less of you” he said as he grabbed my injured hand and begun to clean it with the antiseptic from the first aid kit usually found under the table in the corner of the studio, I flinched at the sting as the disinfectant worked its way into the cut.“sorry” Jin sighed “I should have warned you beforehand”“It’s okay” I mumbled “it’s my fault the injury is even there in the first place” Jin nodded as he wrapped a slightly bigger than normal dressing over the wound.“thank you” I mumbled shyly once he released my hand, he laughed lightly.“It’s what I do, I am BTS’s “Eomma” as some A.R.M.Y’S like to call me” he finished with a comical pose earning a laugh from my elder and I, my twin turned to me holding out his hand, I took it gratefully and held it tightly it felt nice to be able anchor myself to something he smiled at me.“are you ready to go back?” he questioned, I hastily wiped away the residue of tears on my cheeks I could feel that my eyes were puffy and red.“yes, I think? I’ll try my best to eat I promise” I started, ignoring the voice in the back of my mind
“
don’t do it you’re already fat!”
I gripped the hand I held tighter in response to the sharp voice, make my counterpart flinch a little before looking at me worried that something was wrong.“b-but I Don’t know if I’ll be able to eat it all, it’s… I…” I quickly stuttered unable to finish the sentence, I felt Jin’s arms hug me from behind, resting his chin on my shoulder.“don’t worry, eat what you can and we’ll help you and don’t force yourself to try and stomach something you can’t, it’ll make things worse and could make you sick” he said gently into my ear his embrace and words along with my doppelgänger hand in my grip helped ground me again quieting the raging storm inside my head. I took a deep breath to grounding me even more. Jin moved to my other side grabbing my free hand.“let’s do this together then” my twin said, a determined tone to his voice,
‘
I think I might be able to do this’
I thought to myself, we made our way out of the studio room and back out to the corridor, we stopped outside the dance room door both men beside me tightening their grips on my hands to reassure me.
‘
I can do this, I can go into this room and face my demons’
Jin opened the door and we made our way inside stopping in the threshold when all occupants turned their eyes on me.
‘
no, no, I can’t do this, I can’t’ ……
(~Kookie POV~)
I was shocked my food long forgotten, what we had just been told by RM, how could we have missed something so important, so critical. I couldn’t stop the tears and loud sobs during his speech even when he paused and looked at me, I could see the sadness in his eyes our poor Jiminnie-Hyung he’s been hurting for so long and we’ve been blind and done nothing. Tae wrapped his arms around me and whispered comforting things into my ear.“it’s alright Kookie I know how you feel, honestly I do, but now we know we can do something to help,” he shushed me gentle trying to calm me “easy calm down, breath Kookie”I calmed my breathing slowly, I will help Hyung in any way I can, I will be there anytime he needs me and I will comfort him when he needs and tell him that he’s perfect, he will never have to feel that way again if I have anything to do with it, to hell with my own problems.“thank you Hyung, I’m okay now” I told Tae-Hyung confidently “we’ll help Jimin-Hyung beat this” I said with determination“yes, we will Kookie” he agreed a small almost proud? Smile on his faceBefore I could say any more the door opened and we all looked up to see Jin-Hyung and the elder Jimin holding the hands of our Jiminnie, who was looking down at the floor. He looked up and you could see the fear flash across his face before he started to back up out of the room, pulling his hands free from the older men’s hands.“no, no, no!” he mumbled progressively getting louder before dropping to his knees just outside the door before beginning to cry.“I’m sorry, sorry, sorry” he whispered seemingly caught in a daze his eyes looked glazed over from where I sat but it was hard to tell from this distance, it made me want to get up and go to him, his copy and Jin grabbed him and a hug rubbing his back reassuringly trying to bring him out of his near catatonic state. Tears started to form in my eyes again and I was helpless to stop them, only seeing the small form of my broken down Hyung, how could we have not seen this before it got to this far. I watched as the elder Jin picked up his small form on the floor and nodded to the elder Jimin to close the door.“Shhhh, baby breath it’s okay” he soothed the hysterical boy “nobody here hate’s you, we love you so much, so much baby” he soothed as he held him. He lowered himself onto his chair with Jimin sat on his lap.“I’m so sorry, I can’t I’m sorry” Jiminnie mumbled into his chest. I wanted to help him so much and to be able to comfort him and looking around the room it looked like I wasn’t the only one. I moved my gaze to the time traveling group the older Jimin having made his way over to J-hope and situated himself on his lap J-hope hugging him from behind whispering something into his ear that I couldn’t hear, and even at this short distance it was difficult to try and read his lips.I looked back toward my Hyung who was still burying his face in Jin’s shirt, I heard him mumble something to Jin, who looked confused for a moment.“okay Jiminnie whatever you want” he turned to look at my group then at me with a smile but I could see that it was strained and that tears were still in his eyes.“he wants you guys, and he wants you to hold him Kookie” I was baffled why would he want me to hold him, not that I didn’t want to when anyone of the group would be a better choice.“what are you boys waiting for? Go comfort your brother in his time of need” Bang-PD said exasperated at our hesitation, the others and I jumped up quickly making our way over, I stayed toward the back of the group behind my Hyung’s shyly still wondering why I was the one chosen to hold him, that was until I heard my name being called.“Kookie” my Hyung’s parted so I could see my mochi Hyung had moved his face out of the double of our eldest Hyung’s chest, his cheeks were stained with tears and his eyes red and puffy from crying, his bottom lip held so tightly between his teeth it looked like it would split and bleed at any given moment. My own tears begun to flow again.“Kookie please, please” his small voice begged in desperation, at those three words my heart broke and I ran forward and despite my size snatched him out of Jin’s arms and clutched him to my chest, he grabbed a hold of me in return and before I knew it I was sat on the floor at Jin’s feet with Jimin held in my arms and sat on my lap. My Hyung’s around me in a giant pile of love, Jimin clung on to me desperately with Namjoon running his hand through his hair, Seokjin Hyung wiping away his tears, Yoongi-Hyung rubbing soothing circles on his back with Hoseok-Hyung and finally Tae who had somehow squished himself behind me hugging Jimin and I in a tight embrace.“we’re here for you Hyung, and we love you so much, we promise to be your protectors and we will always be ready to fight your demons” I kissed his forehead screw being shy my Hyung needs me, he pushed himself further into my embrace sniffling.“I’m sorry for being such a burden for you all” I held him tighter as if my tighter embrace would get rid of all his troubles, my Hyung unconsciously moved closer.“you are not a burden, and you never will be Jiminnie” Yoongi Hyung said with certainty we all nodded in agreement, the elder Bangtan, Bang-PD and Mr. Son also, even if his face was now hidden in my chest and he couldn’t even see the gesture. He let out another sob, but this one sounded almost relived.“Thank you, thank you so much” he began to cry“no Hyung, thank you for being with us because without you, we would be nothing” I mumbled into his hair.
(~J-Hope TT POV~)
Clutching Jimin in my lap, I felt broken seeing his copy break down in the arms of his own group mates, I could only imagine what the boy in my arms felt to be able to see what was happening from another’s point of view. I held him tighter.“Baby” I whispered into his ear “are you okay, do you need to step out for a moment, if you do I won’t blame you this must be very hard for you” he turned to me, I could see something in his eyes but I couldn’t put my finger on what it was.“I’m okay Hobi-Hyung” he replied “I need to be here in case he needs me, but also I finally understand how you all felt when I was at my lowest, and I am so sorry for that.” He spoke in a determined tone, that’s the emotion I saw in his eye’s determination, he was determined to help and heal the young group“I promise I will not let him and his group go through what we did, I may need help from you and the others but together we can help him” I smiled, I’m glad we came here, maybe this trip wasn’t just for us to be able to help our younger selves, maybe Mina brought us back to help heal ourselves as well.“I’m proud of you Jimin, but there is no need for you to be sorry we would help you again in a heartbeat. This journey we came on, no matter how strange and seemingly impossible it is, it’s giving us a chance to heal ourselves and heal the others too. And of course, we’ll help you, we’re a family and families stick together” he let out a small laugh before turning to look at me, I could see tears forming on the rim of his eyes but unlike before these were happy tears.“thank you Hyung, I don’t know what I would do without you guys” he said as he pulled himself further into my embrace.“be a very hug deprived little mochi” I laughed, Jimin groaned and turned his face into my chest.“way to ruin the moment Hyung” he Mumbled voice muffled by the fabric of my shirt, I smiled maybe we would be okay. I heard shuffling behind me and turned to look, I saw Jin had made his way back over, he moved to place a hand on my shoulder.“is he okay?” he asked nodding his head in Jimin’s direction. I giggled quietly.“yes, Hyung he’s fine I just embarrassed him is all” I got a playful hit to the chest in retaliation form the little Mochi in my grasp.“Don’t talk about me like I’m not here Hyungs” he pouted release himself from my grip slightly so he could cross his arms over his chest in a sulk. Jin just ruffled his hair and smiled.“don’t pout Jiminnie you’ll get wrinkles” he joked, Jimin gasped dramatically, bringing his hand up to his face and pretending to faint.“the horror Hyung but at least I won’t get them before you, you old man” he then proceeded to jump up from my lap and run over to Jungkook, squealing to the Maknae to save him from their mean handsome Hyung, the maknae just looked up confused from his conversation with Tae and then shocked we he received an arm full of Minnie, Jin just shook his head but didn’t follow muttering under his breath about rude Dongsaeng’s, he turned to me again.“is he actually alright, he’s not putting up a front and hiding his feelings again” he asked worried, our good old Eomma-Hyung always worrying about us.“no Hyung he really is fine, if anything he’s more determined to help his younger self, and maybe even more determined to get better, he said that now that he had seen everything from our point of view that he was sorry for everything he had put us through. Which I of course said he had nothing to be sorry for” Jin smiled wistfully his eyes becoming cloudy for a moment looking like he would cry, before he took a deep breath to calm himself.“I’m glad, seems like this trip is going to do much more than we thought” I nodded“that’s exactly what I said Hyung” I heard someone clear their throat from the side of the room were our copies sat Jin and I turn our attention to them again. They were still sat in a giant pile all crowded around their Maknae who held Jiminnie, they seemed to have calmed down even the young boy they were all comforting had stopped crying, but the evidence of such an action was still on present on his face his eyes red and puffy. But they were all looking our way expectantly. My own group behind Jin and I must have all turned toward them as well because the small voice of the younger Maknae travelled across the room.“Erm…. Jiminnie… said he…. um….” He stopped obviously unsure and a bit shy to continue with everybody’s eyes on him, he opened his mouth to continue but before he could a small voice cut him off.“I asked if everyone could finish eating, then we can carry on watching some of the video’s before we have to go back to the dorm for the night, and I could maybe try and eat something Jimin” he paused looking over to his older self “said he would share with me and that I didn’t have to force myself to eat a lot only what I could stomach for now” he finished with a blush still uncomfortable talking in font of everyone especially about his eating problem. I turn slightly when I hear someone moving behind me, and see that Jimin was moving over to his younger self a reassuring smile on his face I followed him with my eyes as he moved past me but came to as stop only a few steps in front of his twin.“of course, I’ll help and you only have to do what you feel comfortable doing, and nobody” he stopped for a moment eyeing everyone in the room with a look that gave no room for argument “is going to say otherwise, we do this at your pace okay” the younger Jimin nodded“thank you, and we can still watch the videos right?” he questioned, Suga answered form behind us before Jimin had a chance to“of course, it’s one of the reason why we came here” he answered gruffly, the young Jimin gave a smile as the group around him dispersed back to their own seats but not without reluctant looks towards the boy, obviously not wanting to leave the immediate area around him so soon after finding out about his eating habits. But they did so anyway grabbing their food boxes and digging into the food inside, the young Jimin rose to his feet shakily with help from the Maknae’s who’s lap he was sat on before walking towards his copy but not before taking the offered food carton from My younger counter part, he looked at the item like it was poison. But our older Mochi ignored the look and lowered himself to the floor waiting for his doppelganger to sit in his lap. The boy did so and opened the carton of food slowly. Jimin moved his arms around the boy taking the box in one hand and the chopsticks in the other.“you only have to eat as much as you can when you’re ready to stop let me know I won’t force you to do something you’re not comfortable with or ready for” he repeated “I know how hard this is for you” he added quietly the boy sat on his legs nodded so Jimin took a small piece of vegetable from the food container with the chopsticks and held it up to the boys mouth, everyone paused what they were doing and watched with baited breath, the boy opened his mouth for the food to be paced on his tongue before he started chewing slowly conscious of the eyes on him, when he swallowed the breath everyone held was released and they began eating again.“thank you” younger Jiminnie smiled shyly, Jimin placed a bit of food in his own mouth swallowing before replying.“no problem, want some more?” he received a nod in reply. I smiled happily and looked to Jin who still had his hand on my shoulder, he had tears in his eyes but I could see they were proud tears, he was happy that our Dongsaeng and younger version of himself were healing together.
(~Suga’s POV TT~)
It was nice how in just a short amount of time Jimin had been able to help his younger self, yes, he hadn’t healed him and there was still a big journey ahead of him, but seeing him sat feeding the young boy and occasionally taking bites himself made my heart swell with pride, not that I would let anyone else know that, Min Yoongi must keep his image. I rose to my feet with a sigh moving across the room to the computer setup drawing everyone’s attention as I crouch down in front of the laptop and refreshed the YouTube page.“What was it that you guys wanted to watch next” I asked even though I knew I just hope they had forgot because I really didn’t want to show them the Daesang artist of the year award where I may have ‘cried’. But alas all hopes were lost as a voice spoke out across the room.“I believe we asked to see the Daesang award” Bang-PD replied with a knowing smile, damn It, I hummed to indicate that I had heard him.“yep, I remember now” I added, I heard a giggle, and turned to see Jimin one hand over his mouth to hide his giggle while the other held the chopsticks half way to his twin’s mouth.“Hyung stop sulking” he said knowingly “your just grouchy because you don’t want people to see you cry, there’s nothing to be ashamed of we all cried” he added with a smile as he finally brought the food to the other boy’s mouth, who took the small morsel of food between his teeth chewing it slowly.“quiet you” I spat with no real bite to my words and Jimin knew this because he burst out into a fit of hysteric his copy following soon after unable to resist the infectious laugh. I couldn’t help but lose my fake pout and laugh lightly along with them and the rest of the rooms occupants soon followed, once we had all calmed I turned back to the computer.“suppose we should get on with this then” I searched for the video I was looking for, finding it and clicking it, but before the video could start I paused it.“Just warning you all now, if anyone laughs… well I leave it at that” I threatened jokingly which earn me a chopstick thrown at my head, I turned to the perpetrator which happened to be V who was trying and failing to look innocent.“You little brat!” I growled, he turned to me with an unconvincing shocked expression and made a pointing gesture to himself as if to say who me. I started to get to my feet to give the little shit a cuff around the back of his head, but Jimin stopped me with a whine.“come on Hyung just play the video already, stop stalling” I huffed out a dramatic breath before giving V the stink eye to let him know this was not over before leaning back to press play, then proceeding to make my way over to the brat. He squeaked and shrunk into himself slightly before I gave him a light whack round the back of his head, which he gave an indignant ‘hey’ to, I smiled before sitting on his lap to watch the dreaded video which would hopefully not ruin the “tough” act I gave everyone.“you deserved it you punk” Jimin yelled over from where he was giving the last bit of food to his copy who took it in his mouth, obviously feeling full by the look on his face. The room dropped into silence as the video’s sound came through the speakers, I wonder what they will think of this I smiled …. (You all most likely know the event I’m talking about)I watched each of the younger groups, PD-Nim’s and Mr Sons reaction, they ranged from proud, shocked, happy tears and giggles when it got to the part where most of us cried, I’m never going to live this down. As the video finished I sighed and readied myself for the onslaught of questions and jokes at mine and my bandmates expense.
(~V POV TT~)
Unlike what I and most likely my bandmates thought would happen after the video finished the room was quiet, I turned from the screen and looked to our younger counter parts, Now despite what everyone thought about me being a little extra and spacey, most of the time I’m not, which is why I was the first to notice that our duplicates had tears in their eye’s but they were happy tears, I kept quiet about what I saw not wanting to disturb any of them while they had their moment.“Wow!” The young Kookie exclaimed in awe, tears still very much present in his eyes, everyone looked at him with small smiles on their faces making his cheek turn rosy in minor embarrassment.“I think Wow is an understatement Guk” laughed Namjoon, he turned toward me and my group his dimples deeper than ever with how big his smile was.“Boys” Bang-PD spoke before the younger Joonie could say anything more “that was amazing, I’m very proud of how far you’ve all come in such a short amount of time and I’m sure your own ‘version’ of me is also, I hope the same for my own Bangtan which I’m sure will happen of course” he made eye contact with us one by one before continuing “well done, all of you”“thank you, sir,” Jin-Hyung smiled lightlyI couldn’t hold back my boxy smile, I was glad we had come back to help, and like Miho had said before she had ‘abandoned’ us we could stay here for as long as we wanted but when we wanted to go back we would go to the exact point in time that we had left so it wouldn’t interfere with our own schedule back home. A voice broke through the happy atmosphere in the room.“Aish!, I didn’t realise how late it had gotten” Mr. Son exclaimed in shock looking at the watch on his wrist, you guys have got to be at a promo photo shoot in the morning and with the little sleep you already have to run on we don’t want you to miss any more, we should get you back to your dorms” he finished looking at Bang-PD-nim the elder man nodded his head in agreement.“Yes, I agree” he looked toward me and my group “Luckily the apartment just next-door to the dorm is available so we can arrange for you all to stay there if you would like, however you may have to help with the funding of it as you probably well know money is running very tight” Jin-Hyung nodded his head along with RM-Hyung in understanding.“Of course,” Namjoon began “we wouldn’t expect you to fund anything, we came here and even though we are here to help, we have inadvertently caused some problems for you” PD-nim stood from his chair, reaching into his pocket to get his phone.“thank you once again boys, I will just ring and arrange everything for you and have another van to come and pick you all up with enough room for you and your belongings”We all once again nodded with smiles on our faces, Mr. Son also rose from his seat brushing away at the non-existent dust on his pants.“well then boys it was nice to see you all, even under these very strange circumstances, but I will be leaving now as I also have to get some sleep” he turned to the younger Bangtan to address them “I will see you all at your next practice” then he turned to us again “and I hope to see you older boys again before you leave back to your own time, rest well” he finished before making his way out the door. PD-Nim hung up his phone and put it back into his pocket.“Right boys all is arranged, the vans will be here for you in ten minutes I have explained in detail to the drivers and staff what is going on and they have been sworn to secrecy, it was hard to get them to believe me but they have taken my word for it, just make sure to wear mask’s and hoods whenever outside please. I will leave you all now, and will see you all again at some point tomorrow, I assume you will be accompanying them to the photo shoot tomorrow also?” we gave quick nods in reply“good I will have another van sent for you all, have a good night boys and rest well” he finished we all politely said our goodbyes to him before he also exited the room, the atmosphere became awkward for a few moments, before it was broken by the younger Namjoon.“I don’t know if we’ve expressed this enough yet but thank you for all of this, no matter how strange it is to talk to ourselves” I smiled even wider and answered for all my group.“wait! Does this make us narcissists?” the younger version of myself mumbled just loud enough for us to hear, we paused for a moment any reply my group had to the young leader sitting on the edge of our tongue’s and gave the boy odd looks giggling slightly at the blush that covered his face RM finally answered for us.“It’s our pleasure to help”
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter 4
(~Suga TT~)
The journey back to our temporary dorm was surprisingly fast, I had forgotten how close the old dorm and the old company building used to be to each other. Our van pulled to a stop just behind the younger groups and we began grabbing our bags to get out, Before Jin opened the door he turned to the confused driver of our van who happened to be the younger Sejin and thanked him for our ride.“N..no problem” he cleared his throat “sorry it just this is so weird” I leant forward in my seat and placed my hand on his shoulder.“Don’t think about it too much Hyung, it hurts our brains to even try” He just laughed, I gave him a smile before climbing out of the van myself, I turned to see the younger group getting out of their ride but then I saw someone else getting out with them, I drew in a hissing breath through my teeth at the man’s presence drawing the attention of my ‘brothers’ behind me, I felt a hand come to rest on my shoulder, I turned sharply toward the offender ready to take my anger out on them but when I saw it was our Maknae all my anger dissipated and my expression softened.“Leave it Hyung he’s not worth it, we will discuss it with Bang-PD nim in the morning, I know how you feel and I want him gone as much as you, but don’t start anything here” He whispered, I looked toward the others and they nodded their heads reluctantly.“okay Kookie I’ll leave it, but only because it’s you who’s asking me, but if he bothers you or you see him bothering anyone else tell me. He will wish he never laid a finger on you or your younger self”I turned back to the offending manager who was herding our younger selves into the building, after all the problems he caused in our own time raising a hand to Kookie, upsetting the fans, I wanted to hurt him as much as he had hurt us, but I would leave it be, for now.“hey, are you guys coming inside or are you going to stay out here all night” Namjoon shouted from the buildings door way, our little bubble was broken and we quickly made our way inside the building holding our hoods over our heads so no one would be able to see our faces. Once we all congregated in the lobby if the building, pulling off my hood I let out a sigh, it’s been a long day and I need my bed, unfortunately, that was not here but back in our own time, however the floor at the moment would do for me, we waited patiently for our instruction and the times we had to ready in the morning, although I had to hold back a sneer toward the man who spoke.“now boys we have to leave early in the morning for your promotion photo shoot so make sure you are ready at least fifteen minutes beforehand so we can leave on time” he then directed his attention to my group “same goes for all of you, I don’t know how you are all here and personally I don’t care, but I don’t want you being here to mess up the schedule we have, It’s very important. As you must know yourselves” he finished with a sarcastic tone to his voice, I had to ball my hands into fists to stop myself from saying something surprisingly though a voice still called out from behind me matching the tone of the manager.“Yes of course Manager-Nim~, we will do our absolute best not to disturbed them” Jungkook spat tone filled with disgust and sarcasm, the man’s face cycled through a multitude of emotions including shock at the Maknae’s disrespecting tone finishing at anger, his face turning slightly red, the younger BTS stood behind him with similar looks of shock before shrinking slightly back when they saw that he was about to explode.“How dare you speak to me like that boy!” the man started as he stalked toward Jungkook, stopping just in front of him having to look up to meet the Maknae’s eyes “You will treat me with the respect I deserve as your elder” As much as I wanted to intervene from the look on Jungkook’s face I knew he would be able to handle himself and by the way his other Hyungs stood calmly behind him they knew the same. Jungkook lowered himself to the managers eyes level and in doing so he angered the man even more, before smirking and speaking.“oh I’m sorry ‘Manager-Nim’” he started sarcastically “But you see I only show respect to those who deserve it, and I know for a fact you don’t from personal experience” he finished before raising to full height again, if possible the man before the Maknae became even redder and if possible steam would defiantly be coming from his ears. spluttering he began raising his hand to strike the younger boy, I tensed wanting to step in and help, but I held back, the hand flew toward our Maknae’s face but before it could meet skin, his wrist was snatched from the air and twisted behind his back in a restraining hold the Maknae pushed the stout man face first into the lobby’s wall and held him face squished into the plaster he struggled in the hold obviously but was unable to free himself from Jungkook’s strong grip.“And now you’ve just proved why I shouldn’t show any respect toward you” Jungkook spat, I briefly glanced around the room, inspecting everyone’s reactions, our younger duplicates all had looks of shock on their faces, the younger Manager Sejin having a similar reaction but it might have something more to do with one of his colleges who was tasked with our and the younger BTS’s care raising a hand to one of us, I then turned to my own group who all had proud looks on their faces at the state of the man who in our own time had caused so much pain and grief being taught a lesson, being the younger version of said man being completely irrelevant wither way It still felt good for him to get his just deserts, I finally turned back to the maknae tapping him on the shoulder, he looked at me from the corner of his eyes giving me one of his smirks our fans seemed to love.“yes Hyung?” he asked cheekily, I couldn’t hold back a small laugh“let the Fucker go Kook, you’ve proved your point. We don’t want to hurt the ‘Manager-Nim’ any more now do we” I finished mockingly the maknae nodded before releasing the waist of space and taking a few steps back, the man flew around his face still red.“how dare you, you little s..shit. I will be informing Bang-PD about this behavior” I let out a mocking laugh“Yes and I’m sure he will take to you raising a hand to one of the people you are paid to look after real well, why don’t you just fuck off and don’t come back” I spat My Satoori Slipping out in my anger, the man clammed up at the mention of Bang-PD and stormed out the building presumably heading back to the van.“you okay Kook?” I asked once I had calmed enough Satoori once again gone from my voice, the boy smiled before nodding his head.“Yes, Hyung I’m fine, Feeling really good actually”“bet you are Muscle pig” I laughed“Hyung!” he whined at the nickname, making me laugh again.“Holy shit that was so freaking awesome!” the younger Tae’s voice shouted through the lobby. Making us freeze before we all burst into uncontrollable laughter. Maybe this adventure would turn out okay in the end, we could defiantly do some good here and have some fun along the way
(~Jungkook TT~)
Once we all had calmed down from our impromptu laughing fit, the younger group of Bangtan invited us into their dorm, to relax and talk. We all found seats in the small living room area, me, Jimin and V on the floor squished together and leant against Suga-Hyungs and Jin-Hyungs legs from where they were seated on the couch only being there themselves because they started moaning about their old bones aching and the floor being too hard. Across the other side of the room our clumsy-Hyung (RM) and resident sunshine were sat on the floor leaning against each other for support, and finally the younger Group were squished on the remaining seats on the couch. The Younger Jiminnie sat on my counter parts lap being held close, even though he had a small blush on his face from showing affection in front of everyone, no one teased him about it however since if they could they would be holding the smaller themselves due to what they found out earlier today about him.Once we were all comfortable and the tv had been turned on some random movie playing that no one was really watching, we all sat awkwardly waiting for someone to start asking questions about what had just happened outside with that useless waist of space of a manager, I’m still surprised at how I reacted and handled the situation myself. The silence was broken by the younger Namjoon clearing his throat before speaking.“I know that everyone here is probably waiting for someone to ask this so I may as well do it. But what the heck was that out there just now with the manager?”The other of his group nodded in agreement to his question, my own group looked between us trying to figure out who would be the one to speak and my Hyungs must have some secret code between them because they all simultaneously looked at me, asshole’s, don’t get me wrong I love them, buts still they’re asshole’s. I glared at them all to show how ‘thrilled’ I was at being the one to explain, I’m so getting revenge for this. letting out an exasperated sigh again showing them my displeasure I answered Namjoon’s question.“Well I stopped the moron from hitting me for one, something I should have done years ago” I spat out the last part in mild anger, the younger group looked slightly confused at my anger, not realising I was talking about experiences from my own timeline. Tae voiced his confusion.“what do you mean? That’s the first time you’ve seen him” he asked perplexed, I let out another sigh to help calm me not wanting to accidentality take my anger out on the younger version of my best friend.“I’m talking about experiences from our timeline” I gestured to my Hyungs around the room “the same man but from our time caused a lot of issues for us, and our fans, he was dismissed after it was caught on camera but multiple times he was abusive verbally and physically toward us and the fans saw it when he performed such acts on camera a few times… once with me on the 2016 seasons greetings video” I finished the last part in a whisper. I couldn’t look up to afraid of the looks I was getting, I felt someone’s arms snake their way around my middle and another rubbing comforting circles on my back, I took a quick look to see who it was and realised it was Tae and Jimin they were both smiling at me sweetly knowing that along with their gentle hugs and comfort they would calm me down. I smiled back at them before looking up at everyone else, finally I turned toward my doppelganger who was still holding on to the younger Jiminnie but was now hiding his face and nobody in the room had noticed but me, but the again I knew what I was looking for. Everyone must have realised where I was looking and turned to the younger, because he once he gained the courage to look up he made a little squeaking sound and hide his face again, I took that opportunity to say what I wanted.“but you already knew about the managers attitude didn’t you kookie?” I spoke gently trying not to startle my younger self further knowing from personal experience how quickly he would clam up. He peeked out from behind Jiminnie’s shoulder and you could see the tears sat on the brim of his eyes waiting for the right words to break the dam and let them come spilling over, he gave a quiet nod while staring into myeye’s (this next part is in no way true, just added to the story for plot purposes) when I said my next words, they stung us both opening old forgotten wounds for me and newer more recent ones for him.“that’s why you have those bruises that you get up extra early in the mornings to hide using make up, that’s why when your Hyungs move a little too fast around you or a little to erratically you flinch away scared, even though you know they won’t hurt you. And please don’t try to deny it because I know this because I’ve lived it” and with that the tears he had been holding back started to run freely down his cheeks, and when I felt a hand on my own cheek wiping something away I realised I was crying too, this only served to make Jimin and Tae hold me closer to them both and I could only watch as my twins own Hyungs crowded around him in a frenzy grabbing him into an embrace so tight it was stronger than the strongest substance on earth. I’m starting to think that this trip here even though we came here to do some good which we have, what I’ve just told everyone is to try and do some good, which after all the tears it will do just that. but when we took Miho’s offer to come here we forgot that bad always comes along with the good.
(~Kookie POV~)
As soon as the words left my older counterparts lips I broke down in broken hiccuping sobs, not really paying attention to the world around me, just the crushing feeling of being found out, of not being able to hide what was happening from my Hyung’s any more, all those mornings and nights when I chose to shower late or when my Hyungs were sleeping, them just thinking I was shy, but in fact I was doing it to hide the bruises and marks that the abusive manager had left on me, all wasted. All because of my older self, opening his big mouth. However, I couldn’t find it within myself to stay mad at him, my mind to busy thinking about how my Hyungs would break it to me that I could no longer be part of Bangtan, because having a weak maknae that couldn’t protect himself. All the things that the manager had said to me began circling my thoughts.
‘
you’re a useless waste of space, how did you even pass the auditions to get here?’
‘
your Hyungs don’t need you here, they only keep you around because they feel sorry for you’
…
I must have blacked out, because the next thing I became aware of was all my Hyung’s crowding around me, and Jiminnie sat on my lap having not moved at all he was frozen, all looking worried but holding back from touching me, as they didn’t want me to react badly that or they were too disgusted by me. I tried to speak but all that came out was a broken whimper. What I failed to realise was my Hyungs had tears in their eyes, even the rarely emotional Yoongi. I felt a hand on my shoulder and instinctively flinched away from the contact,
(now you might be wondering why he’s not reacting badly to Jimin in his lap, that is because he was the one to initiate the contact, if he’s the first to touch someone he knows what’s to come but when somebody else is to touch him then he’s not sure what to expect. Hence the flinching and the shying away that my Jungkook mentioned before)
The hand on my shoulder pulled back slightly before thinking better of it and letting go, a soothing voice talking to me instead“Kookie, baby you need to calm down for me” I recognized it as Yoongi-Hyungs voice through the haze“I need you to breath” he gently grabs my hand placing it against his chest so I could feel him breathing “follow my breathing your very close to having a panic attack so you need to slow your breathing down, come on Kookie you can do it baby”My breathing that I hadn’t even realised had sped to Hyperventilating speeds began to slow in time with Hyungs, my vision cleared and I saw that Yoongi-Hyung was knelt in front of me Jiminnie having moved off my lap at some point standing with the others, I couldn’t see the time travellers as they were hidden behind the others, and my only guess is that they didn’t come over to help is because they thought their younger selves could handle it, well that or they didn’t care. It makes me want to laugh even my older self doesn’t think I’m worth the trouble. I brought out of my musings by Hyung speaking to me again.“you back with us now Kookie?” he questions. Still not trusting myself to speak, fearing that another childish whimper would escape me I nod my head in answer. Yoongi sighs raising his hand to my cheek slowly giving me time to register that he’s not going to hurt me, when he realises I’m not going to flinch away from his touch he wipes his thumb across my cheek wiping away my tears, he smiles sadly staring into my eyes his stare makes me want to look away in shame."Aish! What are we going to do with you kid?”I Looked down at my feet, upset with myself even more causing grief for my Hyung’s the manager was right I shouldn’t be here. I don’t deserve to be here.“Sorry” I mumbled, my voice coming out scratchy, My Hyungs looked at me in shock probably because my voice sounded so ruined and that they were worried I wouldn’t be able to sing any more. At that thought I was unable to stop another tear falling down my cheek.“hey no more of that, come on there’s no need for tears baby” Jin comforted from behind Yoongi, I couldn’t say anything for fear on disappointing him more and letting more tears pour from my eyes, I must look so horrible right now tears and snot covering my face, breaking down at the easiest thing. I wrapped my arms around myself in comfort, feeling that they would somehow protect me from the words that were surely to come from my bandmates mouths next, unaware that my nails were digging deep crescents into the skin of my biceps, I couldn’t feel the pinching pain to focused on my anxiety.“Shit! Kookie, stop your hurting yourself. Guys he’s not listening and he’s making himself bleed” I heard someone’s voice calling out, but I couldn’t tell who, the voices jumbling together as I went further and further into my own head. I began whispering under my breath repeatedly.
“
I’m, sorry”
“
I’m, sorry”
“
I’m, sorry”
“
I’m, sorry”
“
I’m, sorry”
“what? Kookie No, no, no, baby. Calm down” the voice began to get teary “Shhhh! Baby, Its okay. There no need for you to be sorry” the voice changed to a shocked tone “wait what are you doing? No don’t touch him he might…..”I lost what the voice said next as arms wrapped around me holding me tight in an embrace, not giving me enough room to flinch away or shy away, but for some reason I didn’t feel the need to anyway. The arms around me gently pulled my hands away from myself, I hissed slightly finally feeling the wounds I had caused to my arms.“it’s okay” the person whispered into my ear “no one here is going to hurt you, your safe, you’re at home with your brothers” the voice who I now figured out was my older self-continued in a soothing tone, I felt myself start to relax in his embrace and the haze start to clear. Head flopping back onto his shoulder I looked up at the older version of me who had tears in his eyes. I placed my hand on his cheek in the silent question of why he was crying, however it went unheard.“glad to have back with us” he smiled lightly, we really did have bunny teeth, despite the tears “now before anything is said let’s get your arms cleaned up, I bet that it stings” I just nodded my head my brain still catching up with everything. I felt a burning sensation on my arms bring my attention back to the wounds I had inadvertently caused to myself, seeing them made my stomach queasy, five crescent shaped gouges on each bicep each one sporting a small trickle of blood down my arms. I hissed through my teeth, my doppelgänger voice came again.“yes they do look like they hurt, come with me I’ll get you patched up and while I do that we’re going to have a nice quiet chat with each other” he held out his hand for me to take a small smile on his face I can really see why my Hyungs call me a bunny sometimes now, I took his out stretched hand, my wounds only protesting slightly at the movement he gently pulled me to my feet while giving the others in the room present and time travellers and scolding look that stopped them protesting him taking me down the hall to the bathroom to tend to my injuries. I looked to my feet avoiding everyone’s gazes. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked toward the recipient.“don’t worry, it will all turn right in the end” he leaned close to whisper the rest in my ear “after all you have an amazing family to help you, to care for you, you have Bangtan…. Your big brothers”I followed him quietly staring at the floor as we made our way into the small dorms bathroom."Hey, it's going to be okay you know" I looked up to the owner of the voice that was a copy of my own but deeper, he was smiling a closed lip smile before he began to speak again "no one will think any less of you because of this, they all care for you very deeply, you all like family. So those thought that are circling around in your head don't listen to them. They're not true" he pulled me forward gentle closing the toilet lid before gesturing for me to take a seat, I did so silently still not speaking a word just focusing on my breathing not wanting to have another panic attack. 'You’re going to fail. Like you fail at everything else, your useless piece of garbage if I was the owner of this company I would get rid of you as soon as I could’ I shook my head trying to dismiss the deprecating thoughts. I felt a hand on my shoulder making me jump and shy away expecting something to strike me."I'm not going to hurt you Kookie, it's just me" I tilted my head up peering at the other through my bangs, realizing he had locked the bathroom door and had a damp cloth in his hand ready to wipe away the already dried blood from my arms."S-sorry I know you won't it's just...." I couldn't find the words to finish that sentence but I didn't have to, if this person in front of me truly was my older counterpart from the future he would know the end to that sentence. his expression turned soft as he knelt knees resting on the cold tiled floor."I know you don't have to explain" he rose the cloth in his hand to my right bicep "can I?" He asked his voice soothing, I nod wordlessly giving him permission. He smiles again before beginning to wipe away the blood, I was surprised the cloth was warm? as it moved gently across stopping almost hesitant at the crescent shaped wounds."Can I clean them too? It might hurt.... I.... I don't want to hurt you" his voice was quiet and sounded choked up.... strange I thought to myself." it's okay you won't hurt me, I trust you not to"He nodded in silent reply before moving the damp fabric of the marked skin of my arm it stung obviously but not enough to make me flinch I was used to the pain, it was fine. My doppelgänger scooted on his knees across to my other side before giving my other arm the same caring treatment."It does get better, you know it won't always be like this..." he spoke as he began cleaning the other set of gouges on my arm. "especially now they know about this, that sorry excuse of a manager won't be able to hurt you any more, your Hyung's won't let him" he stood again taking the now bloodied cloth to the sink, rinsing it out and hanging it over the tap to dry, he bent down and searched through the cupboard below the sink looking for something, I heard him let out a noise of success as he pulled out my first aid kit I used on a regular basis to care for any cuts the manager gives me, I was confused for a moment wondering how he knew it was there before I remembered the whole situation about time travel and him being the older me, of course he would know."Let's get some antiseptic one those cuts and wrap them, then we'll have a chat okay?"I nodded a mumbled 'okay' leaving my lips. He knelt in front of me again a bottle of spray-on antiseptic in his hand above the cuts ready to apply it."This will sting a little" he pushed the top down the liquid landing on my arm, I hissed through my teeth at the pain, the muscles of my arm tensing unconsciously, my twin winced in sympathy."Sorry" he squeaked out, I shook my head in response"No, it's fine, your helping me.... and it's kind of my fault that they're there anyway" something flashed across his face at my dismissal but he didn't say anything as he began wrapping gauze and an ace bandage around my left arm securing it with medical tape, moving to do the same with my other arm I hissed at the application of the antiseptic spray again but by the time he finished wrapping the bandage the sting had gone and all that was left was the dull throb reminding me of my stupid self-destructive moment."Thank you" I mumbled quietly suddenly feeling awkward, he rose to his feet smiling and resting a hand on my shoulder."You don't have to thank me Kookie, but we do need to have that talk now okay?" I froze my blood feeling like ice in my veins, I brought my arm around my middle again letting out an unconscious whimper as I feel arms wrap around me and lift me off the toilet lid, I whimpered more as I felt Jungkook shift and sit on the closed lid of the toilet himself then place me on his lap arms still wrapped around me."Shhhh.... there's no need to be scared I'm not going to hurt you and no one is angry with you we just need to talk about some stuff, and there's no need to be embarrassed or scared about anything either because I know what you’re going through I know how you feel and about what's been happening and about what you've been doing because I've lived it, I am you remember, we share the same blood the same thoughts and feeling I'm just a little older but I'm still you" I nodded my head, I knew what he was saying was true, I knew that I didn't have to hold anything back with him, but still some illogical part of my brain kept telling me different, so I told him as much."I know, it's just... it feels weird opening up to anyone because I've tried to hide it for so long. Even if logically you know everything already, still some part of me is scared" my voice was shaky and he could probably tell that I was crying again as I spoke...'Such a cry-baby maknae, pathetic how are you even part of this group!'I shook my head trying to get rid of the thought of the managers treatment of me, of the things he said, I couldn't think of that right now!"I know Kookie, and we can take as much time as you need to talk about this, as long as we do talk. We don't have to talk about everything tonight, it's been a long day and I'm sure your tired and just want to sleep, so we can just talk a little for now, okay?" His voice was sweet and calming and relaxing somehow for me, which is probably weird seeing as it's my own voice, but deeper. I blush a little at the thought and nodded my head wordlessly in answer to home hoping to god that he can't see the pink dusting of my cheeks"W-what do you want to talk about tonight? I do t even know where to start......sorry""No don't be sorry, there's nothing to be sorry for.... how about we just talk about what the managers been doing to you.... how long has it been going on? I know I said I know everything but just for now treat it like I don't, I'm here to help you vent and to listen to anything you need me too"I nodded again while I sighed through my nose preparing myself somehow for the long talk ahead of me."It..... it's been going on for a month possibly two? it's been like it since he was hired, well a week or two after he was hired once he'd settled in and got his bearings....... it started with him scolding me.... more so than the others, the one time when he asked me to stay behind after vocal lessons.... I'd not done to well that day as I was starting to get a cold and my throat was scratchy, he scolded me like usual the he...... he...." my voice started to waver the further into the story I got and tear were now streaming down my face. I didn't realize I was shaking till Jungkook tightened his arms around my waist and whispered in my ear."easy it's okay you don't have to say more I know what you’re trying to say," one of his arms moved round to start rubbing gentle and comforting circles on my back "thank you for sharing that with me, I know how hard that must have been for you, we can stop for tonight if it's too hard for you to continue, I understand"I leant into his embrace easing a hand to wipe away some of my tears, Jungkook handed me a piece of toilet paper I don't realize he had, to use instead."Thank you" I spoke my voice stuffy and scratchy from crying "b-but I want to continue a little more I-if that's okay? I-I feel like I need to "The older boy nodded "of course as long as you comfortable doing so I won't stop you. so, what happened after that time after vocal lesson?" He prompted"It was a while till he did it again maybe about five days later.... I think he shocked himself a little after the vocal lesson incident, but it was like once he realized he could do it without me trying to fight back... he took every opportunity to take out his frustrations and anger on me even if I wasn't the cause of it. So, the next time was when again he asked me to stay behind but this time it was after dance practice...... and .... I hadn't done anything wrong that day, I had hit almost every step and Mr Son even praised me on my improvements, but that wasn't enough for our manager, something during the day must have upset him or something because.... this time when he hit me he bruised me and drew blood...... not a lot but.... it still hurt, and then he started with the degrading comments and remarks.... about how I shouldn't be part of the group.... and you probably know anyway...."I wiped away some more tears and snot from my face I probably look disgusting right now but I couldn't find it in myself to care.... my movements were sluggish because the amount of crying I had done today along with all the other events that had happened I was just worn out."I think that's enough talking for now, your obviously wiped out. Plus, our Hyung’s are most likely worrying themselves to death out there. Thank you for talking to me, I'm proud that you've been able to share what you have already, it's a big step..."I nodded and hummed sleepily my head resting against the others chest, feeling his muscles underneath his shirt. eyes already half closed. Jungkook laugh lightly."Now I see what My Hyung's mean when they say I'm cuddly when sleepy, wrap your arms around my neck okay, I'll carry you back out to the others"I did as instructed, too drowsy to care about what Hyung's would say about the position I was in I sighed eyes fully closing as I felt myself being lifted, next all I knew was darkness a sleep finally claimed me.
(~Jungkook TT~)
I looked down at the younger version of myself as I carried him back to the living space of the small dorm, it had obviously been a long tiresome day for him, with how quickly he relaxed and fell asleep in my arms, I smiled at the thought that he felt enough at ease with me to be able to do that and to be able to talk to me about what had been happening to him, even though we were technically the same person it was still hard for him. I was brought out of my reverie by panicking voices."oh god Kookie, are you okay.... baby? Speak to me" Seokjin came rushing over, the loud noise and commotion luckily didn't wake the sleeping boy in my arms, but it did make him fidget and scrunch up his nose before relaxing again, I looked up to panic man I front of me who's hands where hovering over the sleeping boy."Please keep your voices down, I don't want him waking up, he's hand a stressful day and he's exhausted" I whispered just loud enough for the people dotted about the room, my words seemed to calm the frantic Seokjin because all the tension seemed to flow out of him and he smiled lightly at his young maknae"Oh good, I'm glad he's sleeping" he ran a gently hand through Kookie's hair "do you want to carry him to his bed? And then you can come and tell us what happened while you were in the bathroom?" I nodded and followed him down the hall to the dorms single bedroom as he held the door open for me I carefully manoeuvred into the room and gentle placing the boy in my arms down onto his lower bunk bed, and pulling the covers over him before join Seokjin back out in the hallway pulling the bedroom door closed."Thank you" he smiled his voice quiet as we made our way back to the living space, everyone's head turning in our direction."No problem, I'm just glad he fell asleep so easily he needs the rest" the other just nodded as he took his seat back on the sofa, and I took a seat back next to Jimin and V, everyone still waiting silently for me to tell them what happened when I was in the bathroom with the other Jungkook."What is it you want to know?" I asked as I leant forward elbow resting on my knee and chin in the palm of my hand."Is... is he okay? He was just sleeping, right?" Jiminnie ask a worried tone to his voice, I nodded my head before speaking"Yes, he's okay now, I cleaned and bandaged his arms, and we had a talk about what's been going on with the manager, even though I already know because, well we are the same person. But I told him to just act like I wasn't and I let him vent and get some of it off his chest which he did, more so then I was expecting, but he got a little emotional and started to cry and basically wore himself out and fell asleep in my lap, which is when I brought him here" Jiminnie nodded in understanding looking a bit shocked that all of that happened in the time that we were both in the bathroom."What actually has been happening with the manager?" Questioned Namjoon from his place on the sofa next to Seokjin, I sighed."A lot of shit really, at first it was just scolding and reprimanding him more forcefully than he should be aloud as a manager, but then it got physical. He started hitting Kookie and using him as his own personal punching bag, as well as making comments such as 'you shouldn't be part of this group' 'the space you take up on Bangtan is wasted on you and should be used on someone more deserving' need I say more?"I felt a hand on my own, prying my fingers out of a fist that I had subconsciously formed my free hand into I look over to V out of the Corner of my eye and he smiled at me as he accomplished his task and linked his fingers with mine."That's bastard" Yoongi spat, his Satoori slipping through slightly "how dare he, if anyone is a waste of space it's him, the sorry excuse of a human being"The younger group all nodded their heads in agreement."Don't worry about that now, he will be gone first thing tomorrow, once we've had a chance to talk to Bang-PD about it, I think he will find a prison cell very accommodating, you know seeing as it's abuse of a minor and assault" RM informed everyone, Yoongi's expression turn smug almost."Good riddance, the disgusting pig deserves it" I yawned bringing V attention to me again."You tired Maknae?" He asked running a hand through my hair gently, at his words everyone's attention cantered on me, I hummed with a small nod leaning more against him. He continued to run his hand through my hair the action making me drowsier if possible."Our cute little Maknae, all cuddly when he's tired, not the big bad muscle pig now are you?" Giggles Jimin hand coming to rest on my cheek thumb ghosting across my cheek bone, I scrunch up my nose whining."Jiminnie-Hyung stop it~" I weakly tried to push him away, no real strength behind the action, before I let my arm move away from the mochi wrapping around TaeTae's middle in a loose cuddly hold, pushing my face further into the crook of his neck, I could hear coo's move around the room, but I was too comfy to care what the other occupants of the room thought."Can we go to bed now? Please~" I whined, the sound muffled by the skin of V's shoulder, his hand gently rubbing my back making me smile."I supposed we should get some sleep, the Maknae's have got the right idea. It's been a long tiresome day, with lots of stress, not to mention our concert we had before we came here. And we need to be bright and early for your guys promo shoot tomorrow. So, I think it's bed time for all of us" Jin's voice carried around the room. I closed my eyes thought still awake enough to hear the hums of agreement and the sound of people getting to their feet, then feeling someone hoist me up on their back-piggy back style, I whined a little in protest and being moved from my comfy position."Ooof! When did you get so tall Gukkie?" I heard the voice of Jimin ask, him being the one carrying me, I didn't answer just nuzzled my face further into the back of his neck sighing happily when I found the perfect comfy spot, the man holding me giggled, before he started to move presumably towards the front door to get us to our temporary accommodation while we stayed here, my last thought was of wondering how funny Jimin-Hyung looked carrying me before I was taken gladly by sleep.

The morning in the Older Bangtan’s dorm was calm as everyone got on with their tasks, once they had figured out who would be showering and using the reasonable sized bathroom first, they decided to go by age eldest to youngest go figure, it also help that the Maknae was still dosing on his bed yet to wake up properly. One the eldest was finished in the bathroom he got to work on a quick breakfast for the group."Minnie!" He shouted the younger boy over "is Gukkie out of bed yet?" He got a shake of the head as a response, sighing he rested the spatula on the side of the frying pan, ready to flip the pancake when ready."Could you go and try to get him up? I know he's tired but we need to be ready to leave as soon as possible so we don't upset the other groups schedule""Of course, Hyung" he said with a sweet smile "I'll go make sure his lazy butt gets out of bed" Jin worried for the Maknae when he saw a mischievous glint in the short boy’s eyes as he turned to leave the kitchen"Thank you!" The eldest called after him shaking his head with a small smile on face. A few minutes later Jimin made his way back in to the kitchen a very sleepy look Maknae following him, rubbing at his tired eyes as he slumped down into one of the chairs at the table and rested chin in the palm of his hand."Awake now baby?" The eldest smiled as he ran his hand through the others hair making his already crazy bed head even worse, Jungkook whined to show his discomfort."Hyung stop~" the eldest giggle before moving back to the stove to resume cooking, he scooped three small pancakes out of the pan putting them on as plate and giving the plate to the Maknae."Eat those and by the time you’re done it should be your turn in the bathroom, have a shower and wake yourself up, can have you half asleep, now can we?" The youngest dug into his food movements still sluggish from being half asleep, Jimin shook his head at him giggling from where he sat across from him, beginning to eat his food as soon as the plate was placed in front of him, all three in the room looked up to the kitchen door when the heard someone walking in, they smiled or attempted to in Jungkook case his mouth stuffed with pancake making it difficult. V smiled back as he towel dried his hair."Bathrooms free Kookie!" The person in question nodded shovelling he last piece of pancake into his mouth before standing and rushing out the room."Kook! Slow down don't run in the house!" The eldest yelled after him, going unheard as the bathroom door slammed shut causing him to sigh in slight annoyance. Yoongi walked into the kitchen followed closely by Namjoon and Hobi."What all the shouting about" he asked in gravely still half-asleep voice, V giggled before answering."Just Kookie running around and slamming doors, so Jin-Hyung's just telling him off" Yoongi nodded as he poured himself a steaming cup of coffee, pausing for a moment."Oh.... wait I just had a thought, where did all the food and groceries come from? We certainly didn't buy them but the we're here when we came in last night" everyone paused at this the silence broken by the eldest voice."Bang-PD arranged for the cupboards and fridge to be stocked, we'll have to give him some money for it all when we see him later today, it's not fair that we expect him to pay for our up keep when money is already tight as is" this drew a round of nods from everyone sat at the table. The eldest turned around a plate with a stack of pancakes in his, he placed it down on the table."Eat up, then we can get ready to leave" he said as he sat down and took some pancakes for himself, the Maknae making his way back into the room, his hair still damp and dripping droplets onto his shirt, but otherwise looking much more awake than he was moments before."Kookie! your back feeling more awake now?" The sunshine of the group asked with a smile to bright for this early in the morning, the youngest nodded in affirmation before sitting down with his freshly poured glass of apple juice forgoing the orange due to his freshly brushed teeth."So, what are we doing today? I know we’re going with the younger Bangtan to their promo shoot but what about afterwards?" Jimin's voice chimed across the table as he took slow bites of his food."Well I thought we could go to their dance practice with them and maybe show them some of our songs, they only have no more dream right now, it might be fun" Namjoon shrugged before putting a slice of pancake in his mouth, the boys around the table nodded in an agreement. A panicked voice suddenly called out."Shit guys were late! We need to get moving now" Hoseok jumped up out of his seat eyes still on his watch which triggered all the others to get up and start grabbing their stuff breakfast forgotten as they rushed out the door.
(~Namjoon POV~)
I slouched down into the sofa looking at my phone to check the time for the second time in what felt like minutes but, was really barley seconds. I looked up and let my eyes scan the room my band members were scattered about the lobby some leaning against walls and the others mainly the Maknae's sat on the floor or the sofa."Where the fuck are they we told them not to be late!" Yoongi's gravelly voice travelled across the room, obviously frustrated with having to wait so long for our older counterparts to get here, even though we haven't been waiting for long and they aren't technically late yet."They'll be here soon Hyung I'm sure" I sighed trying to ease his temper as much as I could, as if summoned by magic the elevator doors opened and the older group stepped out, all wearing casual clothes and hoodies with face masks to hide their faces."Sorry we're late, not used to only having one bathroom again in the mornings to get ready so it was a bit of a rush and a panic on who was doing what first" the older version of myself spoke sheepishly hand moving up to rub at the back of his neck, looking just overly awkward.It was still weird seeing this older version of myself. Luckily Sejin took the leafy for this in answering my older self."It's fine boys, you’re not late we told everyone to be here early in case anything went wrong so don't worry, the Vans are waiting outside if you’re ready to go" he gestured to the door, both groups the time travellers and present made our way out to the vans, my group in one and the time travellers in another, setting off to the photo shoot location.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter Five
Warning Smut ahead Don't read past the *************** if uncomfortable with that sort of thing
(~Taehyung POV~)
we followed manager-Sejin as he led us into the venue for the shoot, it was nothing fancy or expensive looking, just a large warehouse type building with photography equipment set up one side with some props and furniture that fit the theme of our song and against the wall there was a row of makeup mirrors with a Table in front of each with some makeup and hair styling items then chairs in front of that, and in the corner some curtained off cubicles presumably for when we change into our outfits. Sejin-Hyung came to a stop just next to the make-up area."Right then boys now we're here I'll give you the run down on what we'll be doing" he looked towards the older Bangtan "and our guests we've set out a waiting area for you and some snacks" he pointed to the sofas in the Corner of the warehouse which I missed on my first scan around, the older boys nodded and happily made their way over sinking into the leather couches with happy sighs. I turned back to Sejin when he began talking again."right back to business, you'll all have your hair and makeup done by the Cordi-noona's and then they'll give you your outfits to change into, that all really for now. I tell you more when your all ready" he smiled and as if by magic the Cordi-noona’s pulled us away to get ready. (~Jin POV TT~) I dropped down onto the soft leather of the couches we were directed to by the younger Sejin, I sighed as the leather contoured to the shape of my body, I felt Namjoon shifting to get comfy, once he stopped moving I flopped down and laid my head on his lap he froze and fidgeted nervously."Jagiya" whispered "don't do that here, we haven't told them anything about us yet" his voice was only loud enough for me and our group members to hear. The others of our time travelling group turned to look at us, Jimin giggling lightly."Joonie-Hyung, don't be so stiff and scared looking, they'll just think your being nice to your Hyung nothing more nothing less they won't consider something they don't know is there"I felt Joon-ah fidget again before he cleared his throat."I know it's just that, well I not ashamed of our relationship" his voice was still a whisper "it's just, I don't want to scare them and then make them awkward with each other, it might damage their own chance of having this" I looked up at him from where I was in his lap, smiling lightly at his way of thought, thinking of our younger self’s in this."Joonie if I could kiss you right now I would, you’re so sweet Jagiya thinking of them"His face very quickly went bright red and he made a squeaking noise, I giggled hand moving up to rest on his face."Just wait till we get back to our temporary dorm, and I'll save that kiss for you then, and maybe more""HYUNG!!!!" V yelled appalled at my insinuation drawing attention of all the people in the warehouse looking at us, which of course cause him to also go bright red and squeak out a small sorry trying to hide in his sweatshirts hood, of course we all laughed at him causing him to retreat further into his hood."Tae, I was joking" I laughed as I sat up wiping a tear from my ear."Sure Hyung, we all know you weren't" Jungkook mumbled as he looked down at his phone "just please don't the walls in this dorm aren't as thick as at home" I blushed at the Maknae's words, He looked up from his phone smirk on his face."Oh, so now you blush Hyung" he laughed, I scowled playfully"Watch it brat, I'm still your elder" he just shook his head laughing and going back to his phone " Aish brat" I threw the couch cushion next to me at his face laying back down and settling in Namjoon’s lap head facing his stomach closing my eyes but just as I was about to see if I could nap I heard someone walking over to our little area and clearing their throat I spun myself around keeping my head on Joonie’s lap but now facing away from him, I looked up to see the intruder to our little moment was in fact seven intruders more specifically our younger counterparts. They all looked embarrassed their faces red more specifically mine and Namjoon's counterparts, maybe I should change positions. I sat up before addressing them."Y-es" I asked my voice cracked so I cleared my throats and tried again."Yes? What can we help you with?"The boys in front of us shuffled about nervously Kookie going as far as to try and hide behind Hoseok, I schooled my expression to a softer one to try and coax them into talking."You can ask you know we aren't going to bite your heads off" surprisingly it was my younger self who gained enough courage to step forward."Um.... We Erm... we’re wondering if you could... maybe possibly give us some pointers, or help us with this photo shoot. It's our first one, as you already know and we haven't really got any idea how to pose and everything and the photographer isn't really helping us any he just told us to get on with it. I don't think he realizes that we've not done this before"I smiled softly before pushing myself off the couch tapping Namjoon's leg to signal he should get up also, I stretch my bones giving a few satisfying pops and cracks."Of course, and you don't have to be so nervous asking. We are here to help you in any way you need and if that means helping pose and Such correctly then that's what we'll do" I turned to the ones still sat down. " come on get up you bunch of lazy asses and help them!" The others did as I asked getting up Jungkook being the last to rise to his feet, sliding his phone into his back pocket."So, then anything specific you’re unsure of or do you just want help with everything?" I asked my voice light and cheery, causing the young boys in front of us to smile, I took a moment to admire their clothing the mostly black and white gear bringing back nostalgia of my own debut days."Everything please if that's not too much to ask" Namjoon smiled still looking nervous."It's fine honestly, lets go over to the photo booth area and we'll go through it there" I replied as I began walking in said direction."Right" I sighed, turning to face them, my own group mates moving to stand beside me "first things first you all need to loosen up, don’t lock up your joints all your poses must be fluid, and your facial expressions must be the same fluid and relaxed, if you stand there all stiff your pictures won't come out right. They'll look unnatural. If you’re having trouble just pause for a moment take a deep breath and try again" I took a breath before continuing " as for trying to fit to your theme, well I know this is more of a rebel, hip-hop look so you want your poses and expressions to reflect that, you want to show the audience an air of confidence and sass.... think bad boy and that should help, anything else now we're going to go one on one with your own doppelgänger. so pair off with your counterpart so that we can help you" with that said I turned to my own counterpart beckoning him over to me with a smile he looked nervous but came over anyway."Don't look so nervous I'm not going to bite" I laughed lightly.
(~Seokjin POV~)
I walked over to my twin nervous for some reason I didn't have a clue as to why he wasn't going to hurt me because well that wouldn't get him anywhere, I was him and he me just from different times. I had to hold back a laugh when he told me he wouldn't bite, but despite my efforts he got a smile from me."Yes! I got you to smile!!! Point for me" he exclaimed at this I snorted "oh a snort that's even better!" I just shook my head, were we really the same person he was so happy and here I am nervous about belonging on this team with amazing talented boys, no I can't think about that right now, I need to focus on the photo shoot."So, anything you specifically want to cover?" Jin's voice broke me out of my revere."Oh Erm, poses I guess and facial expressions" he nodded with a smile as a reply."Of course, right so the theme for this is hip-hop, with little bit of gangster mixed in. So, any facial expressions you do need to give off that vibe, you want to seem almost cocky and overly confident. Does that make sense?"I nodded again, I guess it does make sense, but it's embarrassing, to stand there in front of the camera and do that sort of thing with everyone watching you, I thought to myself."You want to give it a try then? You don't have to be embarrassed or anything no one will laugh at you, just try to relax. Would me showing you some facial expressions and poses help you any?""Y-yes please"He nodded before, moving into a few poses talking me through it as he went, reminding me to keep my poses fluid and not stiff as to not look awkward, and then he showed me a few facial expressions, which was strange to watch but it helped. Maybe I could do this
(~Suga POV TT~)
We all filed back into the vans the photo shoot having gone surprisingly well, even better after we gave the boys some helpful tips. the photographer was very surprised and pleased with them, even said he'd be happy to do their next shoot for them because they were so professional and polite, which is a big difference from our own timeline, the photographer having got mad with us and refusing to work with us again because we couldn't pose for shit back then, even though we were polite. Oh well at least it's another thing we've changed for them, I took my seat in the van next to the maknae giving him a gummy smile before I slipped in my head phones, I would take the chance to sleep but by the time I would have dozed off we would be already at the Big-hit building ready for the youngest dance practice so there was no point in trying. In no time at all the vans pulled up outside the company building and my older group climbed out making sure to thank our driver as we went, before walking into the lobby to meet the younger group."So then" RM began "you've got your dance practice right now, are we able to come watch?”The other boys looked their manager and then exchanged looks between each other.“I don’t see why you can’t, so sure” Smiled the younger Namjoon, before turning and walking toward their dance room, my own group following behind, once we got into the room the younger group began their stretches and warm up’s why we sat on the floor against one of the walls, about five or so minutes later the door opened again this time, Mr Son Walked in smiling in greeting, but what surprised me was Bang PD-Nim followed him in close behind, this must have shocked the younger boys too as the stared for a moment before carrying one with their warm up, this time Mr son overseeing them and giving advise here and there on ways to maximise their stretching etc.“Nice to see you again boys” Bang PD-nim voice cut through my thoughts, before I could even think of replying the Maknae beat me to it.“Nice to see you too Sir” He smiled, the older man inclined his head in Guk’s direction.“so, how’s your day been following around your younger selves? Not too boring I hope, I assume your own schedules back home are much more hectic and jam packed” he finished with a small laugh as he sat down on the single chair sat against the wall with a small sigh of satisfaction.“It’s been different, but it’s kind of nice to have a change, and time to have a bit of a breather from everything” Hobi replied his usual blinding smile on his face, BangPD nodded, smiling back due to the infectious nature of The others smile.“I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself and having a chance to rest at the same time, now boys about yesterday when you first arrived, I’m sorry with how harsh I was……” RM Cut him off before he could say any more on the subject.“Sir you don’t have to apologize, it was perfectly reasonable for you to have reacted like that, I mean what happened was kind of crazy, and there was no harm done” Bang PD nodded his head not giving a verbal reply, smiling once more before turning to watch the younger BTS begin a run through of the no more dream chorography, I turned back to watch them myself, unconsciously rapping along with my parts in the song under my breath, obviously not quietly enough as the young group paused and turned to stare..... Let me just state that The Min Yoongi does not blush, It’s just warm in the Practice room that’s why my cheeks are red, enough said.“You okay there Hyung” Jungkook Smiled cheekily, I gave the little shit a scolding stare.“What was that Brat? I don’t think I heard you” I growled Making the younger shrink away scared.“n-Nothing Hyung” he squeaked out, trying to busy himself with looking through his phone.“Oh, Kookie You just got Agust D’d” V laughed, the younger BTS, Mr Son and Bang-PD all turned confused in my direction.“Agust D’d? What’s that?” Bang PD asked confused, I opened my mouth to reply, but was cut off by V, earning him a sharp look from me which he ignored.“Oh, that’s Suga-Hyung’s Solo Rapper Name, He used it when he released his mixtape……” He exclaimed with way too much enthusiasm for my taste.“Wait what?! Solo Rapper? Mixtape. And no one thought to say anything?” Hoseok asked shocked“Well there’s not much to tell really, I released a mixtape with a few songs on. I didn’t really think it was as important as other things” I shrugged.“Show us! Please, please show us I wanna see” the younger sunshine whined.“Fine, whatever” I turned to BangPD “Is that okay, I mean the laptop and everything is still set up from yesterday”“yes, that’s fine to be honest I’m quite intrigued myself” he said with a nod. I sighed but got up anyway making my way over to the for mentioned items, the younger group moving over and sitting down on the floor in front, BangPD and Mr Son bringing chairs over and sitting beside them and my own group decided on not moving over but looking up toward the wall the projector was currently facing, I crouched down in front of the laptop making sure to sigh again.“Stop Sighing you wannabe Rock and get one with it” Jin yelled, the only one I would let get away with calling me out like that. I knew he was only joking around though so it brought a small smile to my face I connected my phone up to the computer, before loading up you tube and searching up my Agust D MV and clicking play.“here you go I guess, Enjoy”As the video ended I turned to the others in the room.“there you’ve seen it……”
(~J-Hope POV TT~)
The room was momentarily silent after Suga’s Agust D Video was finished. You could hear a pin drop it was that quiet. That was until a very familiar but younger voice yelled, the sound echoing in the once silent room.“HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AWSOME!!” I flinched slightly at the intensity of my twin’s voice, I now get what the others mean when they say I get louder when I’m excited, I thought to myself. Suga from his spot on the floor obviously couldn’t hold back his snort at the boy’s extreme reaction, and it looked like he couldn’t hold back the small blush at the compliment either much to his annoyance. He cleared his throat before speaking.“well, thanks, I guess?” still as awkward as ever taking compliments from others. This calmed my doppelganger down some as he looked at Suga with a weird expression, opening his mouth to say something, but BangPD’s voice cuts him off before he can.“I think Hoseok-Ah spoke for all of us there, when he exclaimed how ‘awesome’ that was” the older man laughed “but let me say Suga, that was rather impressive” this time Suga did blush all the way up to his ears, he looked down before answering his voice strained.“T-Thank You Sir”The way Suga answered made my twin give him the same look as before, it was a weird mixed between sadness and longing, even though he was my twin I could quiet figure out what it was, and I know for certain during this time in my own timeline, there was nothing that I was worried or sad about concerning Yoongi, strange…… maybe their timeline is starting to change and deviate from ours already, with us being here, its maybe altering course to avoid paradoxes, oh god I’m starting to sound like Namjoon when he get all philosophical and smart on us….. I shook my head to rid myself of my random thought process, I guess I’ll have to bring it up with the others when we get back to our temporary dorm and see what they think about the situation, but for now I’ll keep an eye on my twin and the rest of his group to see if I notice anything else strange. I turned back to Mr. Son and Bang-PD nim when I heard the later talking and addressing the younger group.“now boys as much as I want to keep watching these impressive video’s, I’m afraid we have a dance practice to continue. Which is very important if you want your debut to go well, we can’t slack now can we?” this immediately got the younger group to their feet rushing in to a quick re-do of their warm up stretches, their muscles having gone stiff from sitting, before moving into formation for the No more dream choro. Mr, Son gave a small smile at their enthusiasm.“Right, first I’m going to play the track again and you all try and go through the choro by memory, while you do that I will watch and see what each of you need to improve on” the man instructed as he walked over to the sound system. “ready…. And go” He hit the play button and instantly the familiar sound of no more dream began playing through the speakers. The group immediately beginning the choro, I let my eyes scan across them, watching each boys timing and how they hit each beat, mentally counting the eights in my head, I saw Namjoon stumble a little over his own feet before righting himself, and watched how for a moment after he lost the fluidity of his movements, but other than that he was coping quite well, and any mistakes could be corrected by more practice, I moved my gaze over to Mr. Son for a moment, blushing up to my ears when I saw he was watching me, he smiled politely before turning back to look at the boys dancing. I quickly turned back to the for mentioned group moving to watch Jimin’s counterpart as he took the centre and pulled up his top to show off his abs which I tried not to wince at noticing how much his ribs stood out, his movement were fine, some minor improvements could be made but again that would come with practice and patience. Out of the corner of my eye I caught Seokjin as he was slightly off beat but he quickly caught back up with the others in time for the end of the song. Mr. Son pressed the pause on the sound system before the music could reply, smiling before he addressed the boys.“Well done boys that went better than last time, although there are still a few minor improvements that could be made” he turned in my direction “right J-Hope, I caught you watching them too, and you might have picked is on a few things that I could have missed” I felt a small blush rise to my cheeks as he addressed me.“w..well I spotted, something’s but I don’t think it was any different from you, I mean Namjoon stumbled slightly and became pretty stiff for a couple of beats, but he righted himself pretty quickly” the boy in questioned blushed. “and the same goes for Seokjin he missed a few beats at the end and lagged, but again corrected himself quickly, and some of the others had a few things they could improve on but most of it could be corrected with time and patients” the man nodded.“yes I saw some of that too, however I did miss Jin” he turned back to the boys on the dance floor. “right, so now we can go through it slowly without the music for the moment, I will count each eight for you, and any time, you find yourself struggling shout out and we can pause and go over that piece as a group” the boys nodded falling into formation again, slowly going through each sequence in time with the older man’s counting, each member seeming to find their feet quicker this way and the whole choro seeming to come together slowly, I smiled these boys could do it, just like we had. And they could overcome any obstacle that stood in their way.
(Yoongi POV)
I laid on the floor of the dance room panting, my band mates had in similar states around me, Mr. Son and bang PD stood together conversing and the time travellers doing the same but still sat against the wall on the far side of the room. My older self caught my eye, he was smiling our typical 'gummy smile' as my own group liked to call it as he talk about something with the older Hoseok and Namjoon, my mind started to drift to the music video we watched, and the fact that sometime in the future I would make a separate debut from my group as a 'solo' rapper under the name of Agust D, it was unreal to think about, about how far we would all get in almost six years. It made me happy to think about and proud of the older group and how far that they had gotten and hopeful that we would also get that far. I sighed heavily my breathing still slightly elevated from practice, I felt good about this practice with having Mr. son and the older J-hope helping pick out our mistake and explaining ways for us to improve, in my eyes it was very successful, my eyes flicked over to our dance teacher when he started talking."Boys" he smiled hands clapping together in front of him, "that was a job well done, I'm proud of you all you've all improved a lot, we are finished for the day so you can start your cool down stretches and head back to your dorm" as he finishes speaking we all did as instructed, beginning our cool down stretches, so our muscles wouldn't be tight and painful for tomorrows practice. I heard a voice pipe up from behind us in the direction of the older boys."Mr. Son! we were wondering if we could possibly borrow the practice room so we can have a few runs through of our own dances, your welcome to watch to of course" the deeper copy of Namjoon’s voice asked politely, our dance teacher looked shocked and a little intrigued before answering."Of course, boys, and to tell you the truth I want to see some of the choro for your songs in the future" Bang PD voice cut in next."I've got to say I agree with Son here, I'm wanting to see your dancing too" RM smiled sheepishly his hand moving to the back of his neck in a gesture I knew very well from our Namjoon, the boy laughed, the sound coming across as shy."Well now I just hope I don't mess up" a blush rose to his cheeks now "they don't call me the god of destruction for nothing you know" this made Bang-PD look at his with a confused expression one which I was sure was on my face along with the others of my group."The god of destruction?" The older man questioned, my older counterpart laughed at this."You see PD-Nim, RM here is well known back home by most people in our company and our fans as that name, well because he breaks almost everything he touches. He doesn't mean to of course" he laughed again "I've seen his pick up a pair of sun glasses before and snap one or the arms off them like they were a toothpick. Isn't that right Joonie. Sometimes you just don't know your own strength. But hey we don't mind" by the time my twin had finished RM has turned red as a tomato, Jin having walked over him and put a hand on his shoulder and a smile on his face as he whispered something in his ear that made the 'human shaped tomato’s' lips curl up in a half smile."Anyway, enough about our destructor here, I believe you want to see some dances correct"....... twin smirked (~Jimin POV TT~)We had been in the centre of the room for about five minutes having been stretching for that length of time our young tired out counterparts had taken up our spot against the wall each one with a bottle of water in hand that Mr. Son had given them once they sat down, but the thing that made me smile happily was that my younger self had a fruit bag in hand munching on a piece of apple from said bag, reluctantly handing Tae and Kookie a piece each when they wouldn't stop begging him for some. But that didn't matter what did was that he was eating out of his own violation and no one had told him to, he had walked over to his bag and grabbed the little packet out before sitting down and joining the others. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to looked at the owner. J-hope smiles down at me, my own smile growing to match his."What's got you so happy that your zoning out when you should be stretching to warm up?" He asked smile not leaving his face once."Don't stare but my twiny is eating, and no one told him to!" I whisper shouted excitedly to him, I saw his eyes move from my face and over to where the younger boy sat still enjoying his fruit, J-hopes eyes widened as they shot back to me."Holy.... Chim that's amazing, and he's got to that stage so fast!" He exclaimed his voice not high enough for anyone but me to hear. I nodded"I know!" I giggled out of pure excitement "I'm so proud!" J-hope's smile got even bigger if possible and he nodded."I bet Chim-Chim, now not to take away from this joyous moment but we really should be stretching, we can talk more about it later though I promise okay" I smiled at my Hyung."It's fine Hyung, we really should be stretching anyway." He smiled before turning around and moving back over to the others grabbing my hand gently and pulling me along with him. We quickly finished with our stretches before moving into formation, as Suga-Hyung set up his phone with the laptop so we could have music, soon the sound of not today blasted through the speakers as Suga now took his place in the formation. RM started his lines and we began and I let myself get lost in the music.I became more aware of my full surroundings and not just my other members and their places in the choro as the music finished the room going quiet save for mine and the others heavy breaths. I could feel the sweat sticking my bangs to my forehead, I need a shower when I get back to the temp-dorm. Just as Hobi-turned around to give me his big smile both our heads move to look at where the sound of sudden clapping was coming from, the culprit of the noise was none other than the smiling younger version of BangPD-Nim."Boys!" He let out with a joyous sounding laugh "that was very impressive, I'm assuming that's one of your newer released songs? But it doesn't really matter if not either way it's still very impressive" as he was talking my members had formed a line facing the man, Hobi-Hyung on one side of me and TaeTae on the other. As answer to the man’s question our Maknae spoke first."You'd be right in assuming that it's one of more newer songs Hyung, it's also one of our more tasking choro's also" the younger boy smiled his typical bunny smile teeth on show "we always end up out of breath afterwards""I can tell, are you boys wanting to dance some more or is that enough for you today?"This time I answered him looking around at my members for confirmation first which they gave me silently with nods."We'd like to run through one more song if that's okay?" I smiled, bang-PD smiled and nodded."Of course, that's fine" I smiled again, before we moved into our places for the spring day choro, Suga-Hyung running over to once again find the song on the phone and laptop set up. He got back into formation just in time for the dance to start. (~Kookie POV~)I watched the older group as they danced mouth hanging open, the first song and choreography was intense and well put together, but this song was different it was meaningful and was tell a story, but I couldn't figure it out. All I knew is that it was sad, it kinda made me want to cry. But I wouldn't do that again today, especially not over a songs choreography and in front of my Hyungs again. so, I just watched and tried to figure out the story behind the song. By the time they were finished. I was still no closure to deciphering the puzzle. They stood panting some of them bent over hands resting on their knees to support them, but each one had a happy smile on their faces so you could tell they were happy with the practice."Woah...... that.... that was so beautiful" the voice of my eldest Hyung broke the silence I didn't realise had taken over the room, I broke my gaze on the group still puffing. Out of breath and turned to my own group, they all had looks of awe on the faces and I think Jiminnie-Hyung had tears pooling in his eyes, I don't think he realised that though."Erm... thanks" J-Hope smiled a little shy laugh escaping him, I smiled at his bashful reaction.“It was very good J-Hope-Hyung! You don’t have to be so shy about it” I Giggled he turned to me his face shocked.“you called me J-Hope-Hyung” he squealed his arm moving in a weird flapping motion as he jumped up and down on the spot, I gave him a confused look.“well I can’t really call you Hobi-Hyung or Hoseok-Hyung because it would confuse both of you” I gestured to him and his twin “so your J-Hope-Hyung and he’s” I pointed at the Hyung from my timeline “Hobi-Hyung, at least while your both here, what else was I supposed to call you?” he paused his jumping and held his hand up raised pointer finger out in a one second pose.“true…… oh well” he laughed everyone joining in just from it infectious nature.“So, then boys! That dance was just as good if not more moving then the first. Is that all your wanting to do today?” Bang-PD asked as he stood.“yes, I think that would be it for today Hyung” Rapmonster smiled looking to his bandmate for protest, they gave none. All defiantly ready to head home. PD-Nim nodded a smile on his face.“in that case I shall take my leave, I’ll arrange the vans for you, they’ll be waiting outside for when you’re ready to go” and with that he nodded with the smile and left. When the door closed Mr. Son spoke up.“I think it’s time for me to go as well” he turned to look at my group “great work today boys, I’m really impressed with your improvements. Practice will be at the same time tomorrow” he turned to the older boys “and boys, thanks for sharing your routines with us, can’t wait for when you show use more” he smiled once more before leaving.“I don’t know about you guys….” Suga piped up “but I want to get home and shower because quite frankly I feel disgusting” he finished before moving to grab his phone from where it was still plugged into the laptop. He pulled his phone free before shutting the computer and projector system down for the night, the light from the projector turning off and making the room seem darker. And walking toward the door. He turned back toward us all a small smirk on his face.“Now then… Shall we” he gestured to the door“Hell yes! We all replied.
(~J-Hope TT~)
I sighed as I sunk into the lumpy cushions of the couch in our temporary accommodation my group mates doing the same, I closed my eyes momentarily as I just let myself relax, even though we hadn’t really done much compared to our usual schedule it had been a tiring day.“who’s showering first” I asked my eyes still closed, I felt someone shift beside and rest their head on my shoulder and I smiled lightly.“I’m too tired to move right now Hyung” the person lent on me spoke, who I now knew was Jimin, I rapped my arm around him hand rubbing soothingly against his arm.“I know the feeling Minnie” I yawned, the room fell into a peaceful silence, I was beginning to think everyone had fallen asleep, that was until it was interrupted by the sound of…… Kissing?I opened my eyes just enough to peak at where the noise was coming from, and much to my horror both Jin and Namjoon were taking the opportunity of everyone being “asleep” to make out with other on the love seat across the room and they were getting grabby with each other, oh hell no I was not about to listen to them getting jiggy on the couch….“Oh hell no! don’t you two dare. I’m not having nightmares from you two again. Go to your room if you wanna be nasty!” I Yelled Disgusted across the room. I felt Jimin jump against my shoulder but luckily for the two’s dignity no one woke from my shout. Jin quickly jumped off Joonie face equally as red as his partners.“H-hobi w..we thought you had all fallen asleep” the eldest stuttered clearly embarrassed, Namjoon just stayed silent looking to humiliated to say anything.“well you thought wrong” I said in mock anger at them both, I was kinda grossed out but I wasn’t angry. “just please go do it in your room, I beg of you” I pleaded with them both. Luckily, they both nodded getting up quickly and running down the hall to their shared bedroom hastily shutting the door behind them. I let out a relived sigh before I sunk back into the cushions and closed my eye’s letting sleep take over my consciousness with my brothers around me and two of them doing things down the hall that I’d rather not think about.

Jin POV

I yelped in shock as Namjoon pushed me against the bedroom door, but it quickly turned into a moan as his lips worked themselves up from my collarbone to just below my ear, nipping and sucking at my skin, I felt him smirk as he whispered in my ear. "You like that Jagiya? We've not been able to have time to ourselves in so long with the tour and promotions, I bet your so worked up. And. Needy" he punctuated the last words as his hand grazed over my thigh toward my slowly erecting member. I replied with a frustrated groan. "Fuck Joonie don't tease me" he laughed lightly, his hand finally grabbing me in his hold causing me to moan loudly, god I hope the others don't wake up and hear us we'd never live it down, not after last time. "Don't worry Jagiya" he palmed me quickly bringing me to full hardness "I’m going to make sure you enjoy every minute of this" and with that his mouth was back on my neck sucking and nipping the skin as his hand worked on my erection. "D-don't leave.... ah fuck, any m-marks that we can't e-explain" he chuckled "I won't, as much as I hate not marking you to show people your mine" any reply I had was cut off as he slipped his hand into my pants and briefs and pushed his thumb into the slit at the head of my erection, thankfully there's a door behind me because god my legs felt like jelly. "So wet already Jagiya, you've been so neglected haven't you baby, let me take care of you" his voice was like honey in my ears as pleasure assaulted my body. "God.......fuck yes J-Joonie please" my voice turning into a whine as his thumb smeared pre-come around the head of my penis. His hand begun to slowly almost teasingly move, small moans slipping from my lips, my limbs felt numb, but it's was the good kind where I knew that Joonie would look after me, my eyes slipped closed and I threw my head back as he twisted his wrist just right. Fuck. "P-please Joonie" another moan "please I-I need...." I felt his breath against my neck again glad he moved in close. "What baby, what is it you need?" His voice was deep with arousal, as he begun to pull me across the room toward the double bed. "Anything just please~" I whined as I fell backwards onto the mattress beneath him, he chuckled low again. "As you wish, Jagiya. Anything for you" he sat and admired me for a moment and I him before he reached down and pull d the hem of my shirt up and over my head leaving my torso bare but my pants and brief still uncomfortably straining against my erection. I fidgeted in place trying to get any friction I could but Namjoon’s hand on my hip stopped me. "Tut tut Jinnie, that was naughty. And you don't want to be bad, do you?" Fuck....that's hot, I only whimpered the words unable to make their way out of my mouth, Joonie always has had a way of making me completely pliant under his control, not that I mind.... "baby are you going to behave? If you behave you'll get what you want. Don't and I'll draw it out, and make you whine for it" his voice was becoming deeper and more dominant, it made me want to hang off his every word, every command. Not that I wasn't already. "Y-yes Joonie, just please~" later on when I'm more calm and coherent I'll be blushing at the begging, bumbling and submissive mess he made me, but that was for later. He smirked his dimples showing as his hands trailed down my sides to the top button of my pants. He teasingly popped the button and pulled them off throwing them somewhere in the room to be cared about later. I whimpered in anticipation at what he had in store for us tonight. He trailed his hand up my thigh achingly close to my neglected member I had to bite my lips to stop myself from making any more needy noises, Joonie noticed this however and gently pulled my lip out from between my teeth. “don’t do that you’ll hurt yourself” he whispered as he lent down and took my lips in a kiss, he immediately took control deepening the kiss his tongue exploring my mouth and sucking gently on my own. As he was distracted I raised my hand to explore under his loose shirt feeling all his muscles tense and release when my hand ran across them. After I had had my fill with that I began to undo his belt buckle and pants button, whining into his mouth in protest when he didn’t make my life any easier by helping me take them off. I gave his tongue a little nip which made him break the kiss with an over exaggerated pout, and begin to pull of his pants kicking them to the floor with my own. “that hurt Jinnie, I’m going to have to punish you for that. You know that, right?” I felt something spark low in my stomach at his declaration a smirk made its way onto my face. “Well, don’t take so long to get to business then maybe I wouldn’t have to do stuff like that…. Joonie, and you and I both know…. I love it when you punish me” his mouth dropped open in shock at my retort, before he smirked. “well…” he lent forward getting close to my face “someone’s feeling confident today…. Aren’t you” before I could even think of a reply before he had my briefs off and hand wrapped around me, and two fingers pushed against my lips “Suck” he ordered, I did as ask barely able hold back my whimpers and moans of pleasure around said digits, I coated them well in my saliva because I knew if I didn’t it would cause problems for me later. Namjoon continued to pump my member in his hand, my hips involuntary bucking up to chase the friction he was providing. “that’s it baby, is this what you wanted. What you were so desperately begging me for Jagiya. Such a needy baby aren’t you… Such. A. Wet. Needy. Baby” He voice was becoming more and more dominant, making me feel all the more submissive to him. But this is how our times in the bedroom usually went. He the one in charge, the dominant and me the submissive one who usually fell into subspace. Which was exactly what was happening now, the fuzziness and inability to articulate or communicate with him well, but I enjoyed it. He pulled his fingers from my mouth, his hand on my length moving to my cheek. “baby? You can’t go in yet. You need to tell me your safeword first. Can you do that for me?” my tongue already felt like lead in my mouth and it took a moment for what he had said to register and a few moments more for my mouth to work correctly. “S-strawberry” I stuttered, my mind clearing of the fog for a moment. Joonie smiled down at me hand still caressing my cheek. “that’s it’s baby, I’m going to make you feel good now okay?. You’ve been so patient for me” I felt myself getting foggy again, I felt something circling my entrance before it pushed inside causing me to release a moan, I heard him chuckle above me as his finger pushed deeper inside my saliva a crude substitute for actual lube making the stretch burn a little but the pleasure was soon taking over as he curled his finger and thrust it into me, it wasn’t long before I was stretched enough for him to add a second digit scissoring them this time the burn was almost none existent compared to the pleasure that intensified when he found my sweet spot. I arched off the bed eye’s closing as I moaned and tried to push back onto his fingers to get them to hit that spot again, until my hips were pushed back down onto the bed. “be patient baby, you need to be prepped properly before we attempt more. I don’t want to hurt you” as he talked to me and held me down he snook in another finger, another higher pitched moan escaping from my lips. “J-Joonie… Please… ah, Need you now. Don’ care bout pain” my words felt like syrup in my mouth coming out slurred, I just hope he understands what I was asking of him. I heard a sharp intake of breath and his grip on my hip tighten enough to most likely leave a bruise tomorrow. “Fuck baby, you sound so wreaked. But….” I cut him off with a needy whine, he sighed but relented” “okay baby anything you want” he removed his fingers leaving me feeling empty, but they were soon replaced by something much better…. Bigger and throbbing I clutched at the sheets beneath me as I moaned in pleasure along with Joonie above me. “Fuck so tight. How is it that every time I fuck you, your just as tight as the first time we were together” I couldn’t reply to him, my mouth unable to work as I felt I was just engulfed in everything that was Joonie and the pleasure he was providing me, so I just rocked my hips against him instead, stealing another moan from his lips. “you’re a minx” he spoke through his moan before beginning to move taking all coherent though from me

I rocked into the man beneath me our moans mixing together, as soon as I had begun to move rhythmically into him he had fallen deep into subspace. Now on moans of pleasure and the odd whisper of my name left his lips. But god did he look amazing beneath me, he always did almost every day he did something to take my breath away from me. And every time we were together like this it made me love him all the more. The breathy whisper of my name brought me back to the task at hand, along with the growing thrum of pleasure in my lower stomach getting tighter and tighter like a stretched rubber band, I Knew neither of us weren’t going to last long with the amount of time we had gone with not enough time to ourselves. “Already close baby, what about you?” Jin blinked hazily up at me taking his time to process my words, I could see the slowly registering and I knew he was just as close as me when he slowly nodded his head, eyes again closing in pleasure and a little whimper escaping him when I wrapped my hand around his erection, pre-come now beginning to pool on his stomach and smearing onto my hand. I began to thrust into him in time with the movements of my hand, Jin becoming more vocal which each pump. The band in my stomach now nearing breaking point and my thrusts becoming sloppy as sweat covered both of us. With one final thrust Jin came, moaning loudly and painting his stomach and my hand in weight, I not long following him as his walls tightened around me, covering his insides with my release. Jin shivered from the intensity of his orgasm and whimpered from sensitivity as I pulled out and my release followed dripping from his completely fucked out hole. As much as I wanted to now collapse on the bed in exhaustion I now had a job to do. Specifically, aftercare of the beautiful man still beneath me. I very much wanted to avoid a Sub-drop, Jin only ever having gone through one before, when we where both new to the subspace aspect of sex. I pulled his shivering body closer to me and manoeuvred us both so I could pull the covers over our naked bodies to keep us both warm. I kissed his temple and begun to whisper sweet nothings into his ear………….
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
(Kookie POV)
I sighed to myself as I sat at the small breakfast table in our dorm my bowl of cereal in front of me and my Hyung’s around me with their own breakfasts, even Jiminnie-Hyung had a small portion of food that he was steadily eating Taehyung-hyung doing a brilliant job of keeping his mind off of him putting the spoon to his lips and actually eating. Today was a big day we were going to be preparing for our Music video shooting, going to the recording site and having run through’s, and costume checks etc. There would be no filming yet just rehearsals and practice, and most off all finding a way to work around the budget and get the props we wantedbut I couldn’t help feeling nervous, the tension in our dorm this morning was high and everyone was on edge. Just five minutes ago Yoongi-Hyung had snapped at Namjoon-Hyung over our group leader asking if he wanted a coffee. I had a feeling something was going to go wrong today, someone was going to say something they didn’t mean, blow up at someone over something stupidly small. I just hope our older selves can stop it before it happens or try and calm everyone down when all hell breaks loose. I could feel the anxiety already prickling under my skin like an itch I couldn’t scratch or if insects were running all over me. I took a deep breath to try and soothe the horrible feeling but that just brought my attention to the tight feeling in my chest constricting, uncomfortable it made me shiver.“you okay kookie?” I heard Jimin ask worriedly, I turned to him with a small and I hopped believable smile as he looked at me across the table his bowl now empty.“yeah Hyung” I lied “just excited about today” he furrowed his brows before giving in and believing my reply, the tightness in my chest didn’t abate….. yes today is going to be a bad day indeed. By the time both our groups had arrived on location no one was in any better of a mood and the feeling under my skin and in my chest hadn’t subsided any, it also didn’t help that the older group were whispering amongst themselves and both RM and Jin kept saying something to J-hope who kept laughing and making the pair’s faces extremely red, I couldn’t help but think they knew something was going to happen today and were just as worried me about the rising tension in my group (little did he know hehe ), I was brought out of my internal worrying by a gravelly voice beside me which I instantly recognised as Yoongi-Hyungs.“Maknae! Get your head in the game and stop day dreaming. We’ve got a lot to do today and we don’t need you fucking up, or falling behind” He growled low, I flinched at the harsh biting word’s, he didn’t sound happy and that made my body fill with fear.“I- I’m sorry Hyung, I won’t hold us back…... s-sorry” he looked at me with an expression I couldn’t read before her clicked his tongue.“stop with the needless apologies and get on with it then” he raised his hand to my shoulder fingers digging into the skin there and I tried to pull away on instinct, knowing logically Yoongi-Hyung wouldn’t hurt me purposefully like the manager has been doing to me, but right now the ingrained fear from the months of abuse from the manager was making me want to cower away, and making the already brewing anxiety attack get that much closer to being a problem. I struggled to pull my shoulder from his grip with just made him dig his fingers deeper into the skin of my shoulder, causing me to whimper in pain and fear. He again pulled me this time towards him as he growled out another command.“Maknae! Stop being a little bitch and hurry the fuck up. I’m not in the mood today and you being bitchy is not helping. So, move!” his voice got progressively louder, probably loud enough for my other Hyungs to hear, I could feel my heartbeat speeding up and the tightness in my chest getting worse making it hard for me to breath.‘Oh god, I can’t breathe why can’t I breathe’ I lost focus on my angry Hyung and the others around me I didn’t even feel him being pulled away from me or the raised voices, I just felt the panic and that I was unable to get much needed oxygen into my lungs.

the whole room quieted instantly when they heard the sound of the spiteful words that came out of the Yoongi’s mouth.“Yoongi! What the hell do you think….” the Seokjin scolded as he turned to face the eldest rapper of his group but the words that were about to leave his mouth to finish that sentence halted when he saw the state of his maknae.“Oh my God, KOOKIE!” as soon as the shout left his lips it like the world when into slow motion as he rushed forward and practically dragged the eldest rapper of his group away from Kookie, who now without the harsh hand on his shoulder dropped to the floor clutching at his chest as he struggled to breath.“shit!” I heard my own Maknae let out in shock, and with that the spell was broken and everyone rush to the middle of the room toward the panicking boy on the floor and the two eldest of the younger group who were arguing with each other. I dropped down to my knees harshly in front of the crying boy, unsure on whether to touch him or just talk to him. I chose to talk.“hey Kookie? Can you hear me? I need you to let me know if you can” I spoke soothingly and quietly as I could as to not panic him further, he whimpered but nodded his head in answer to my question.“okay. That’s good. Now can I touch you? I need to help you to slow down your breathing” this time he didn’t nod, just drew his arms in closer to himself in a weak attempt to shield himself from everything. I sighed inaudibly.“okay darling, I won’t touch you, but I need you to follow me okay, we need to slow your breathing…. Okay so I want you to breath in for four, come on you can do it.”The boy whimpered again but I could see he was attempting to slow his breathing.“that’s it now hold that for four, and then breath out for four and repeat, do it with me baby” I repeated the same order with him over and over until his breathing had stabilised and he slowly uncurled himself out of the tight protective ball he had wound himself into. I gave him a small smile and reach my hand out slowly towards him to give him time to tell me not to touch him but what shocked me was him practically throwing himself onto me and clinging on tightly hugging me for dear life, I quickly overcame my shock and wrapped my arms around him gently rubbing his back to soothe him. I took a moment to gaze up at the others, Seokjin was still having it out with Yoongi however now their voices were much lower and Yoongi’s gaze was downcast as the eldest of his group scolded him for his behaviour and attitude toward their maknae. The other younger members of their group were stood in a semi-circle around me where I was crouched on the floor with their youngest, I gave them a small smile, my own members as always were stood or crouched (Jungkook) behind me I also gave them a smile before turning back to Jiminnie mouthing words to him.“is there somewhere we can take him for him to calm down and relax for a few minutes?” he nodded and gestured for me to follow him with his hand.“Kookie, I’m going to pick you up okay we’re going to take you somewhere quiet for a bit” he didn’t give me a verbal response just nodded into my shoulder so I started to stand lifting the smaller boy up with me, I felt a hand support me as I wobbled, I immediately recognised the hand as Jin’s. as soon as I was fully on my feet the younger Maknae securely in my grip I begun to follow the younger group to a doorway hidden near their stylist Noona’s Make-up area. The doorway led to a small room with a couple of large but old looking sofa’s and a table with snacks on. I sat myself down on the closest one the boy in my arms finally moving his head out of the space between my neck and shoulder to look around, before turning back to me.“t-thankyou…” he whispered suddenly shy with everyone’s eyes on him the only two of both groups not in the room being the younger Jin and Yoongi probably still arguing outside, or more Yoongi being scolded immensely for scaring there youngest.“you don’t have to thank me” I put my hand on his cheek “and don’t let what Yoongi said get to you he’s just being grumpy, like always” I smiled cheekily, waiting for the response I knew was going to come.“Hey!! I take offence to that!” Suga huffed with a playful pout on his face, which did the trick in making the young boy giggle.“there’s that smile we wanted, are you feeling a little better now?” I asked in concern, he smiled his characteristic bunny teeth showing but still showing a little of his nerves as he played with the sleeves of his hoodie.“a little, thank you but could I please have some water my throat hurts” he ended the sentence with a yawn.“of course, it also looks like someone needs a nap” I smirked playfully, briefly making eye contact with j-hope silently asking him to grab one of the water bottles on the table behind him, which he passed over to the younger Maknae who opened it and took a long sip sighing in relief when the cool water must have soothed his throat, he screwed the cap back on and dropped it onto the sofa, yawning again.“Kookie, you can have a quick nap if you’d like we’ll wake you when you need to get ready for the run through” Hoseok told him from where he sat on the other sofa. Kookie looked shocked for a moment.“you’re sure? I won’t get any of you in trouble, will I?” his sunshine Hyung smiled.“no, its okay baby just sleep that attack must have worn you out, and you won’t be able to dance when you’re tired” Kookie now turned to me, suddenly blushing as if he had just noticed he was still on my lap.“it’s okay you don’t have to move if you don’t want to. You probably feel safe there, anyway right? It’ll help your anxiety” he nodded face still red but none the less settled further into my lap before resting his head back on my shoulder and closing his eye’s but not immediately falling asleep, so I took the opportunity to run my finger through his hair to relax him and soon enough the Maknae fell asleep with his Twin and Hyung’s time traveling and not around him.
(~Seokjin~)
“How dare you speak to him like that!” I growled at the usually grumpy but kind boy in front of me “especially after what came to light about him and the manager. Just because you’re in a bad mood and have been an utter asshole all morning does not give you the right to take it out on everyone around you especially the youngest, your supposed to set an example to the younger people around you!” with every reprimand and curse that came out of my mouth Yoongi seemed to flinch, still not bringing his eyes up to meet mine.“do you have anything to say for yourself Yoongi?” I asked my voice lower but still with a sharp edge, this time he did look up to meet my stare, but what I saw shocked me into taking a step back. There were tears running down his cheeks and his eyes had already gone red. He had been crying the whole time I had been reprimanding him.“I-I I’m sorry Hyung, I… it’s just that….” His scrunched up his nose and he rose his hands to cover and hide his face, not being able to say what he need. I stepped forward and put my hand gentle on his shoulder.“what’s wrong Yoongi? What’s got you so wound up and acting like this” my voice was kinder this time, now worried for the rapper in front of me. He sniffed and used his sleeve to wipe and his nose making me internally cringe in disgusted but that didn’t matter right now.“Hyung” his voice was low and whiny, and he clutched onto my shirt, all indicators that something was terribly wrong with the usually stone-faced rapper. “It’s…. I don’t know how to explain it, just everything… it’s getting to me, I’m worried we won’t get anywhere. I’m scared our music won’t be liked. I’m scared for debut” I sighed running my fingers through his hair, trying to soothe him best I could.“Oh sweetie, you know you don’t have to worry about any of that, that’s why the others came back… to help us with this type of thing.” He shook his head where it now rested against my chest.“I know that… but for some reason my brain just won’t stop telling me otherwise…” he voice was crackly from the crying but had now turned somewhat normal again. I continued to run my finger through his hair, thinking of what to tell him to ease his worries.“Seokjin? Would you like me to talk to him? You go sit with the others for a while…” a voice from behind me spoke making me jump as I hadn’t heard them walk up to us. I turned around to see the culprit was none other than the older Yoongi, standing their expression soft but somehow still having the air of grumpiness about him, I felt the Yoongi in my arms shift to peer over my shoulder to look at his twin, I turned and looked at him holding his gaze and silently asking if being left with his twin is what he wanted, he nodded So I released him from my hold.“okay I’ll go check on the others, I think you both need some time together to talk anyway. Take as much time as you need. I’ll stall everyone for you” and with that I left the two together to figure out this problem between them. They would be okay…. I hoped.
(~Suga POV TT~)
I stood Keeping eye contact with my twin as Seokjin walked off, I waited till I could no longer hear his footsteps before speaking. My younger self Flinching as the sound of my voice.“Now like Seokjin said we have a lot to talk about, but it’s probably better we not do it here don’t you agree, we need somewhere we can sit and talk” I spoke keeping my Voice as impassive as possible as to not scare or upset him any more than he already was, he nodded so I beckoned him to follow me as I walked to one of the other unused but still furnished dressing rooms he followed me I waited for him to walked through the door before shutting it gently.“sit down it’s okay” I pointed at the horrible brown sofa against the rooms back wall, he nodded still looking shaken from what had happened but walked over and sat on the sofa, I followed behind him taking a seat next to him but far enough away that I wasn’t invading his personal space.“I’m not going to shout at you, and no one will be angry at you not even Kookie once the situation is explained, okay so you can relax Yoongi” I soothed him knowing from personal experience what was running through his head at this moment, even if this exact moment never happened in my time. We were still the same person so I could imagine what he was thinking. He visible relaxed but was still tense, as he looked up at me a few tears in his eyes as his hands fiddled with his sleaves.“How can you be so sure of that? Kookie was so scared he thought I was going to hurt him!” he asked despite his tears his voice wasn’t shaky, I let a small smile cross my face.“I’m sure because I know them, even if they aren’t the same “exact” versions of them I know, I still know they will forgive you. I been through many times with my own group. No matter how many times I snap at them or lose it with them they always forgive me once the situation is explained.”He nodded but still looked reluctant biting his lip so hard I thought he would break skin one of many of our nasty habits we shared.“Yoongi talk to me I can’t help you if I don’t know what’s wrong” I asked even though I had an inkling of what this was all about already remembering my own thoughts from this time. He looked at me a look of sadness crossing his face for a moment.“I’m just so scared that we’ll fail, that no one will like our music. Even though you and your group travelled here from the future to solves these worries I still can help but think this is a dream and I’m going to wake up one morning and realize that this was just my head fucking with me. and even if this is real and you’re here you said that our timeline will branch off from yours now so it could end up differently from yours and we could never do as well as you” I could tell he hand began to ramble due to his intense worry, I reached my hand up and placed it on his shoulder to calm him.“Hey, it’s okay calm down. I understand you don’t have to tell me any more” I soothed moving closer and pulled him into a hug in one of my rare shows of affection. “It’s okay this is real, and that won’t happen I promise, we won’t let it happen. the others and I will help make sure that very thing will not happen." He looked at me with widened eyes blinking slowly."But how can you be sure" he stressed "you can predict how our future will go now, whether it will follow yours or deviate completely, today has been a prime example of that, this never happened in your time line" I sighed and nodded at his response he had a point we couldn't be sure."I know but if you work hard just like we did there's no reason you won't do well, I know you'll do well because each one of you are determined to do this, and just like my group you'll not give up even when it gets tough and your feeling down. Because your Just as much BTS and my group is" throughout my whole "speech" I kept direct eye contact with him try to make him see just how what I was say was true and did matter. I watched him as if I could physically see the wheels and cogs in his brain as he thought about what I said. He nodded and bit his lips still unsure."I'm still scared though… and It’s not just that, I have all theses thoughts going around in my head all the time and just sometime they get so overwhelming, that along with the… feeling and other things everything just gets so on top of me" he mumbled I smiled softly at him knowing exactly how he felt and exactly what the cause of all this was, well of what could be contributing to it, after all he couldn’t afford the meds right now.I nodded minutely."That's understandable your worries won't go away that easily if they did everyone in the world would much happier then they currently are" he laughed at my statement. “but I understand what your going through and I’m here to help you” I placed my hand as gently as I could on his forearm, knowing what was waiting under the sleeve the, he tensed looking into my eyes with his wide and frightened ones. “with everything” I added looking down at his arm where my hand sat. “but I wont tell anyone until your ready” still looking tense he nodded and I carefully removed my hand, he was silent for a moment before speaking up again."B-but something else has been bothering me too." He mumbled the last part face turning to a worried expression again as he looked down into his lap and messed with his hands. I looked at him with a soft of expression as I could."What is it that's bothering you?" I asked voice soft and hopefully inviting enough that he would speak to me. He slowly brought his head up to look at me before he spoke."Your soloist rapping debut, I don't know whether I could do something like that. I mean I take forever to write lyrics or get a beat down for a song I'm just not that good" I was shocked that he decided to be so open when I myself thought those things once but never openly discussed them or told anyone. I didn't let the shock show on my face however not wanting him to see it and clam up again as that was a very likely scenario. He kept his shaky eye contact with me waiting for my reply I smiled sportingly."They're the same thoughts I had when I thought about my solo rapper debut and my mix tape. I was scared that people wouldn't like my music, that ARMY would be disappointed in me for releasing subpar music. But even with all those thoughts I still tried my hardest despite thinking that the music wouldn't be received well. I wrote the songs practised them hard, filmed MV's and released them anyway. Because even if all that happened I knew I had done my best for our fans and that was enough in the end" my twin stared at me eyes wide and unblinking he stayed like that for some time until finally he blinked and nodded smiling ever so slightly"then I'll do the same, because of it worked for you it'll work for me, right?" I nodded not verbally replying feeling that words were needed here. I took my eyes off him for the moment surveying the room taking note on how it was the same as the other waiting room the rest of my group and the twins groups was in minus the table with snacks on top. Soon my attention was drawn back to my twin when I heard a little sniffling noise. I looked back shocked to see that he was crying. "Are you okay?" He nodded laughing wiping away the tear running down his face. "I'm okay, I just feel a little silly to have been worrying so much, and I feel bad for scaring and hurting Kookie. I really need to go see him and apologize I feel so bad" he spoke through his tears his voice sounds a little choked but otherwise unaffected by them. I could see how determined he was to go apologize to the youngest of his group, and I could also see how awkward he felt for letting himself get so worked up. "Yeah, we can go see the others soon, but I think you need time to calm down. And I also want to show you a few things if that's okay?" He nodded his head in full agreement."Yeah that would be best I don't want to upset Kook any more" he looks at me confused "what is it you want to show me?" I laughed at his expression. "Don't look like that it's nothing bad, it's just a few videos" his mouth opened as if he was going to ask more but he nodded wordlessly instead I gave him a small smile scooting across the sofa to get closer to him while pulling my phone out my pocket, I took a moment to load up the YouTube App and search for the video I wanted to show him first. Tilting the phone screen towards him I played the video and just let him watch (Agust D the Last) I observed his face as he listens. How he bit at his lip and furrowed his brows at certain parts. I remained silent through the video not commenting on anything, and he the same. Once the video ended he looked up at me swallowing slowly."Woah that's was...." he continued to look at my phone not making eye contact with me as he was unable to speak."It was one of the songs on my mix-tape, I released it to tell my story, and that everyone didn't need to worry any more." My voice was soft as I told him when I finished he finally turned to look at me silent tears running down his cheeks again subconsciously rubbing at his lower arms I saw his wince a little in pain."Are you really? You’re really okay now?" He asked his voice stable despite his tears as he stared into my eyes, I smiled back and nodded."Yes I am, I'm not going to say that I don't still have days where I think bad things about myself, or days when I don't want to get out of bed or feel like I can't do anything right, days when I want to...” I looked at his arms and he stopped rubbing at them and pulled them close to his body “but when I feel like this I have my group who help support me, help me block out those thoughts, help me get out of bed in the morning and ready for the day and they remind me that despite feeling that I'm not enough or can't do enough. I can do what I can and that's enough for them and that's what really matters" his lips slowly curled into a small smile as he nodded tears still falling down his cheeks."Yes, I guess it is isn't it, but do you… did you use medication? Its just.. I cant afford that right now and without it can I truly start feeling better” once he finished he wiped the tears away no new ones fell this time to take their place, I passed him some tissues from the box on the end table behind me which he took with a small 'thank you' using them to gently wipe the tears from his eyes trying not to irritate the already red skin, I nodded before replying.“I did use medication yes, and if that’s the same route you want to go down, I dont mind funding or at least providing you with the money to get you your prescription, and when I leave I’ll even leave some money behind for you to keep you going until you can pay for your own” his eyes widened and his mouth dropped opened in shock.“you really mean that? You would?” I nodded and froze in shock at his reply which was him wrapping me in a hug.“thank you2 he whispered into my ear before moving back and shyly looking down at his lap once again wiping at his eyes with the tissue, when he finished he turned to me once more."I think it's time for me to go apologise to Kookie now, I need to make things right with him and tell him that I didn't mean anything that I said" I nodded standing up as he did the same."Yes, let go!"
(~Kookie POV~)
When I woke up I could already tell I hadn't been asleep long, I didn't open my eyes yet relishing in the feeling of one of my Hyungs fingers running through my hair I wasn't sure which Hyung it was though or if it was even one of my Hyung’s and not their time tracking counterpart, but either way a laid still enjoying the moment a small smile making its way onto my face. It carried on like this for some time until the fingers running through my hair stopped and I had to hold back the needy whine that wanted to escape. I suddenly hear muffled whispers that got louder as the person talking walks into the room."Hyung your back where's Yoongi?" The person with their hand on my head who I now knew as Jiminnie asked."He's with Suga, they needed to talk" Seokjin-Hyungs voice sounded strained and held a hint of anger to it."How is he?" My Hyung asked the anger in his voice now completely gone his tone much softer, Jiminnie's finger began to move through my hair again once he asked I kept my breathing steady to give the illusion I was still sleeping nuzzling into my Hyungs lap."He's doing better, since we calmed him down he fell asleep we've got time so we let him." I didn't hear Seokjin-Hyung’s answer so I assumed he nodded his head as a reply. Soon after I felt someone pick up my legs as they sat down on the small couch then place my legs back on their lap. I kept my eyes closed feigning sleep take the time to relax and enjoy my Hyungs company, I felt the person at my feet start to caress my leg.“Kookie baby” the Person who I now knew as Seokjin-Hyung spoke softly “Time to wake up baby” I scrunched up my nose slightly to make my’ waking’ more believable and slowly blinked open my eye’s.“h-Hyung?” I mumbled luckily my voice still sounded sleepy I slowly sat up in Jiminnie’s lap which was worryingly bony and yawned slightly, I heard Seokjin-Hyung giggle.“Have a good sleep Kookie?” I nodded my head at my eldest Hyung in reply smiling as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes once I had done that I looked around the room to see who was here and who wasn’t, all my Hyungs were looking at me with soft smiles, as well as my twin and his Hyung’s the only people still missing were Yoongi-Hyung which I was secretly glad about for now and his Twin Suga-Hyung they must have still been talking to each other like Seokjin-Hyung had said. I turned back to Jiminnie before speaking.“How long was I asleep for?” I questioned, he smiled ruffling his hand through my hair.“That Hyung to you brat” he smiled playfully “but only around twenty minutes, are you feeling a little better?”so I was correct in my assumption when I first woke about not being asleep long it seems, I quickly realized I had ignored Jiminnie’s question so I quickly responded.“Yes Hyung” I added the Hyung for Jiminnie’s Benefit “I feel a lot better thank you” he nodded seemingly happy with my answer the room moved into a comfortable silence as I moved to rest against Jiminnie’s chest, the silence was broken though by the door to the room opening gently and Suga-Hyung walked in followed closely By Yoongi-Hyung who was staring down at the floor and almost walking as if he was hiding himself behind his twin, he seemed shy, upset and guilty all at the same time, I involuntarily flinched my whole body going ridged and closer to Jiminnie who noticed and wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear.“It’s okay Kookie, he’s not going to hurt you, you need to calm down baby your shaking” as soon as he said that I realized that I was in fact shaking, I took a deep calming breath and let it back out slowly to calm myself and with it my muscles relaxed and I stopped shaking, I felt Jiminnie’s arms tighten round me comfortingly before loosening off as his way off telling me well done, Yoongi and Suga came to a stop in the middle of the room Suga's smiling eyes connecting with mine as he gave me a small smile, Yoongi having not yet looked up, I smiled back then turned to look at Yoongi-Hyung who slowly looked up and me, what I saw shocked me. My usually strong Hyung had tears running down from his eye which were red and swollen from the tears telling me that he had been crying for some time.“Y-Yoongi-Hyung?” I asked shakily tears welling up in my own eyes I felt Jiminnie’s arms tighten around my middle again Yoongi whimpered biting his lip and wrapping his arms around himself where he stood in the centre of the room. Everyone’s eyes were on him their looks just as shocked as mine as his twin reached up and pulled one of his hands from where they were wrapped around his middle and held his hand tightly fingers intertwined before he leant forward and whispered something to him to which he nodded. He looked back at me still crying till he finally spoke.“K-Kookie” He almost sobbed “I-I’m so, so sorry, I didn’t mean to take it out on you, I know that you probably h-Hate me now But H-Hyung is So sor…..” he didn’t get any further in his apology before I pulled free from Jiminnie’s grasp and threw myself at Yoongi wrapping him in a tight hug embrace the tears now falling down my cheeks, he froze for a moment then reacted by wrapping his arms around me in return.“I don’t hate you Hyung how could you ever think that I hate you, I could never ever hate you. You just shocked me and scared me a little is all. Please, please don’t think that okay?” I heard him sniffle and felt him nod from where his head was tucked in the crook of my shoulder.“b-but I caused you to have a panic attack Kookie, a Hyung shouldn’t do that to his dongsaeng, I hurt you and scared you, I shouldn’t have. I’m sorry” I tighten my hold on him pulling him impossibly closer, and he cried.“Hyung please, you don’t have to be sorry, I understand that you were stressed and that it wasn’t directed at me, you could have blown up at anyone of us and I was there at the time, yes you scared me and made me cry. But I know your sorry. I know you know you did wrong so please don’t think those things any more Hyung. It’s okay I forgive you” Yoongi began to cry harder into my shoulder as I gently rubbed his back, and soon my other Hyung were crowded around us both and joined us in one giant hug, while our time travelling counter parts stood watching silently with small smiles on their faces. Yoongi’s sobs soon quieted down to small sniffles.“T-thank you” He mumbled from his place in the centre of the giant hug, I smiled my own tears also having stopped.“It’s okay Hyung” I replied
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter Seven
(~Hoseok POV~)
"Right boys! Break time!" our manager called over the music as it ended, the we all let out large sighs of relief as we slumped to the floor to catch our breath."Oh god how long have we been dancing?" Yoongi groaned from his place on the floor. I laughed lightly from my place next to him shaking my head, happy to see his eyes were now no longer red and swollen."We haven't been going that long Hyung stop being such a grandpa""I'll have you know! I'm a rock not a grandpa!" he replied a playful gummy smile on his face I couldn't help but giggle."Hoseok!" I turned to the origin of the voice seeing our director he was beckoning me over "come here for a moment please I'd like to speak with you" he smiled continued to gesture me over with his hand, I stood stretching out my muscles with a satisfying sigh and walked over to the man, he smiled and nodded once again."Walk with me will you" he asked as he made his way over to a door that opened into a corridor with some toilets and a few unused rooms leading off it, not thinking much of this I followed him listening to him as he talked."I'm impressed with how well your all doing for your first music video shooting, now I know we aren't technically shooting today but I'm still very impressed with your group!" I smiled at his word following him as he walked into one of the empty rooms, the room itself wasn't furnished except for a single couch against one wall, the man held the door for me as I walked inside before closing it and turning the latch.“Sir?” I asked confused unsure as to why he was locking us in the room, I ignored the tiny voice in my head telling me to flee."Shut up!” he growled shocking me “You will not talk until I allow you to understand!" He continued his voice different from before. Before it was sweet and kind sounding now it sounded mean, insulting and dangerous."Now we are alone I can talk to you properly. When I said I was impressed with your group I meant everyone of them except you, they are impressive. You. You are just a let-down. You are supposed to be one of the main dancers of this group yet you believe it to be acceptable to dance like you have been doing?" I was shocked and hurt and I had no words and I just stood in shocked silence.“what no words? A big difference from how you were out there with you group mates, Finally you’ve learnt how to shut up!” I could feel tears brimming in my eyes close to falling down my cheeks as the director stalked forward towards me harshly grabbing my wrist in his grip I could feel the bones of my wrist grind against each other causing me to cry out in pain the tears finally falling which he scoffed at."Such a cry baby! Is this why you’re not up to par with the rest of your group? Focus more on running your mouth then actually putting in any work? You need to work harder if you ever want to be as good as your bandmates do you agree? you can speak now!" He growled at I was scared to speak but I managed my voice shaky and weak from crying."Yes, sir I a-agree" at my stutter he tightened his grip. I held back another whimper for fear of what he'd do and I agreed with him for the same reason, I feared this man."Good, because if I don't see improvement within this week of run through sessions before the shooting I will be having words with your managers and CEO, they need to know of your slacking and unwillingness to work" he smirked grabbing my chin in a tight grip with his thumb and forefinger "understand boy?"I nodded my head as answer not trusting my voice, he tightened his grip on my wrist the bones creaking under his grip before I felt something twist and strain but thankfully not broken and I knew he felt it too from the sadistic look on his face as I cried out in pain, id this how Kookie felt with the manager"Good" he smirked finally releasing my wrist and virtually throwing my limp and aching limb back at me where it hit my chest with a thumpbefore turning walking over to the door unlocking it and leaving."You can come back and join your group once you have collected yourself" he spoke before disappearing from my sight, as soon as he was gone I fell to my knees clutching my wrist to my chest it was already bruising the skin turning a horrid purple colour. I took a deep breath trying to calm myself and stop my tears. I knew my wrist was sprained badly but thank god not broken I don’t know what I would do, I sat there crying for I didn't know how long, just from the sheer shock of what had happened, soon my tears stopped so I slowly got to my feet struggling to the door and heading to the toilets to wash my face and hopefully get rid of some of the redness from my eyes and cheeks, no one could know what had happened to me I'd have to ignore my wrist and hope no one noticed it. I gently pushed the door to the toilet open with my good hand and walking inside and locking the door behind me. Once I knew I was somewhere no one could see me or bother me unless I let them inside I aloud myself to truly sob even though I came into the bathroom to get rid of the evidence of my tears I couldn't stop the fresh ones from falling. Soon the tears stopped coming and my sobs quieted, I walked over to the basin looking into the mirror my eyes were red and swollen from crying and my face was flushed I turned on the cold faucet splashing my face with water and patting it dry with a paper hand towel, I repeated this several times before I was happy with the reduced redness of my face I took a deep and calming breath before leaving the bathroom and making my way back to the set giving my wrist a few experimental movements trying to get myself used to the pain of moving it without giving anything away, it was extremely sore but I managed I checked the bruising again and it was a definite hand shaped bruise that was forming you could see each individual finger I grimaced, As opened the door that lead back to the area we were using for our shoot and I was immediately bombarded by my band mates as they fired questions at me."Hobi-Hyung where were you? You've been gone for half an hour what were you doing?" Kookie asked with a small smile, I smiled back but it felt so fake and Jungkook must have seen this because his smile fell."Hobi Hyung are you okay?" He asked worriedly, I nodded trying to make my smile more believable."Don't worry Kookie, I'm just tired is all I haven't been sleeping to well, too excited about our debut!!" I laughed lightly to help with the lie, Kookie shook his head smiling and the others followed copying his action."Oh Hobi of course you would be" giggled Seokjin "make sure to sleep well when we get home okay" he continued grabbing the hand that was connected to my injured wrist softly, making me hold back a whimper of pain. It must have again showed on my face because this time Seokjin looked at me with worry in his eyes but thankfully he didn't say anything."Alright boys breaks over time to go again!" The voice of the director came across to us I tensed turning to look at him seeing him standing close to the couch our time travelling counter parts were perched on I avoided eye contact with the group hoping they wouldn't notice anything out of the ordinary before turned to take my place in the dance formation I caught the look of my older self out of the corner of my eye and he was inspecting me his gaze travelling up and down my body, I tried not to let it bother me and focused hard on the dance as the music to no more dream sounded through the speakers.
(~J-Hope POV~)
As soon as the director took my younger-self away to a different room I had a bad feeling in the pit stomach, something wasn't right and things had changed from my own timeline, the director was a different man and no matter how nice he acted he had a strange aura around him that made me not want to trust him. I followed them with my eyes as the left the room, my expression must have been worrying because I felt someone tap me on the shoulder."Hobi-Hyung are you okay?" RM asked me his voice soft but also filled with a little worry, I turned to him to answer."I don't know I have a bad feeling, that director I don't like him, it's just he's giving me bad vibes and the way he was looking at Hoseok when he thought no one was looking it's just.... I don't like it" Namjoon nodded biting his lip face creasing with worry."I know what you mean, and I don't like it that events have changed, granted it's not a massive change but it just doesn't sit right.... wait Hobi I have an idea, find out the director’s name and then search him up on your phone see what he's known for in our timeline. We'll know if we truly have something to worry about" I nodded, it made sense."Okay I'll go ask manager Sejin to see if he knows who this guy is" I replied as I stood from my chair and begun to walk over to the younger version of Sejin, he smiled at me before speaking."J-Hope what can I help you with?" He questioned, I smiled at him in return before replying."I just wanted to know the directors name as I don't recognize him from my own timeline and I don't want to address him wrongly" I lied, Sejin-Hyung looked confused but answered me anyway."Oh! his name is Park Dae-seong he’s apparently a new up and coming director who's very recommended in the business due to his skills, and he wasn’t charging highly so we though we’d give him a try. You know how tight money is" he added with a small wince"Ah I see, thank you Sejin-Hyung" I bowed then made my way back over to RMwho looked up at me expectantly." his name is Park Dae-seong, I don't recognize the name" I shrugged "but I'll look it up anyway" I sat back down next to our leader who watched over my shoulder as I typed the directors name into Naver, as soon as the page loaded I looked through the links and felt my stomach Seize with worry."Shit!" RM exclaimed behind me, I ignored him for the time being clicking the first link and reading through the news article, explaining how the man who was currently our director was working on set with a rookie group in 2014 and had assaulted one of the members of the group Giving the Young boy a black eye, multiple bruises and fracturing some of their ribs, when the police had taken a statement from the victim they had told them that the director had assaulted them under the pretence of them letting their group down and not working hard enough, apparently the assault hadn't been the first time the man had attacked the rookie just the first time he had actually broken bones. The case had gone to court and Dae-seong had been charged with intent to bodily harm and actual bodily harm, he was fined 3000000 Won ($ 2799.29) and jailed for two years, It was like poor Kookie all over again."Joonie this is bad" my voice was shaky with worry, before RM could reply the door to the corridor my twin and the director and gone down opened but only Dae-seong walked through it felt like my heart was in my throat, brain turning to think up horrible scenario's that could have befallen my twin while he was with that man. I must have looked like I was about to jump out of my seat because I felt RM hand on my shoulder again."Easy Hobi we don't know if he's done anything yet so you need to calm down and wait before we accuse him of anything" I sighed RM was right just because he had done something in our timeline doesn’t mean he had done it here."I know that Joonie but he could have hurt Hoseok! Why hasn't he comeback with him?" And as if by magic as soon as those words left my mouth my twin walked through the door, I had to hold back a growl of anger when I saw him, his eyes were irritated as if he had been crying and he was subconsciously clutching his arm close to his body, rotating his wrist very sheepishly.“Shit!” I heard RM mutter behind my, his hand on my shoulder kept me rooted in my seat but I knew it was a bad idea to cause a scene right now, as much as I was worried for Hoseok I couldn’t act yet because there was not solid proof that the man had even done anything yet and if we spooked him he’d most likely run before we could report it to the police, so for now despite all the anger I was feeling I kept my eyes on my twin scanning him for any obvious injuries other than his red face, which could have been caused my something else and his holding of his wrist, now however that wrist was in the grasp of Seokjin. I kept my eyes on Hoseok’s face watching for any reactions and I hissed through my teeth when I saw him jump as Jin inadvertently pulled on his wrist.“what is it Hobi?” I heard Namjoon Whisper in my ear as the man responsible for possibly injuring my twin had moved close to us as he watched the younger group.“His wrist there’s got to be something wrong with it, he was holding it when he came back and now that Seokjin’s got a hold of it, it not a big reaction but he keeps flinching in pain, there’s something very wrong here” I replied keeping my voice low RM hummed in response as he too watched my twin for a moment.“I see what you mean and I don’t like it but we’ll have to observe for now, he could have easily done it while dancing. this isn’t like one of the events we know about, it didn’t happen in our time. When we get home, we can question Hoseok about it but for now try and to avoid Dae-seong being alone with any of the younger BTS” I nodded as always Namjoon is the reasonable and smart one of our group, its why he’s the leader. So, I kept my gaze locked to my twin even as he moved back into formation and even tried to discreetly look over in my direction, I knew he had seen me looking by the why he tensed even though he tried not to, I continued to watch him through the whole practice marking down in my head every time he winced when he had to use his wrist, until finally they finished for the day and we were given permission to go home.
(~Hoseok POV~)
I Sighed as soon as my back hit the mattress of my bunk back at the dorm the others were all still out in the living room watching a movie. I had told them that I was going to try and sleep early, the lie I had told earlier about not sleeping well helped with the excuse. As I laid there I held my arm up inspecting my wrist it was now more bruised then before the hand print now barley visible unless you knew what you were looking for and a little swollen however the pain had diminished some and it was much easier to move and work with, I should really go to a doctor to have it checked but I didn’t want to seem week in front of my group mates, and have the director tell the managers I was slacking. I wouldn’t! Couldn’t let that happen. My inner thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the bedroom door which was weird considering all my bandmates knew I was supposed to be sleeping and they would also just walk inside anyway as this was their room also however I called out to them.“Yes?” I kept my voice low to fake tiredness or that I had just awoken to their knock.“Hey Hoseok” I heard a deeper copy of my own voice reply and I froze not expecting it to be my twin “Can I come in?” he continued, I quickly rearranged myself on the bed so that I was under the covers hiding my injured wrist under my pillow wincing as it protested too the quick movement.“Y-yes come in” I mentally cursed myself for the stutter knowing that my twin would pick up that something was wrong as we were the same person and he would be able to pick up and any nervous signs I gave off, as soon as I gave him permission I heard the door handle turn and the door give its usual creek of protest at movement, I watched him as he shut the door behind him and turned to me with our signature heart shaped smile, which I returned. I could now see why my bandmates called it infectious. He walked closure to my bunk stopping beside my legs and gesturing to the space beside them.“may I?” he asked for permission to sit which I nodded to as answer shifting my legs further back so he had more room, as soon as permission he sat sighing in satisfaction.“It’s been a long day huh, even more so for you and your group with all the practising you’ve been doing. It’ll all pay off though don’t you worry, you’ll all go far because you work so hard” as soon as he said those last word I couldn’t hold back the whimper which made him instantly turn to me with a worried expression, I cursed myself for having such a lack of self-control.“Are you okay?” he asked worry also showing in his voice, I realized Right now I could spill and tell him everything knowing he would help me or play dumb and keep quiet I chose the latter.“Yeah, I’m fine, why’d you ask?” I lied hoping it was enough to convince him, I kept eye contact with him and watched as he scrutinized me with a narrowed gaze, and I knew that he hadn’t believed me.“cut the bullshit and tell me what’s wrong, you know there’s no use lying to me we’re the same person” his voice wasn’t harsh but still had a tone of authority to it I whimpered answering him.“Today’s just been a long day is all I’m fine” I smiled lightly trying again to convince him there was nothing wrong but his gaze on me didn’t change.“show me your wrist, the one your hiding under your pillow” this time his voice had a little harshness to it and I could tell he was getting annoyed with all my lies, I slowly and carefully pulled my wrist out from under my pillow showing it to him, he held it gently in his hand eyes widening at how bruised it was.“f-fuck how did this happen” he asked voice shaky and worried, I shrugged feeling uncomfortable and I didn’t want to say who it was that had caused the injury for fear of what would happen.“it was that fucking director wasn’t it, when he took you away from the group you came back looking distressed and holding your wrist in pain and your eyes were red from crying obviously” I looked down at my bedsheets pulling my arm out of his grip.“It’s fine” I replied steeling my expression “I don’t need to go to the hospital it doesn’t even hurt that bad and no it wasn’t the director I just twisted it funny while we were dancing. And the director just wanted to talk to me about the dance and how we could improve it. Stop jumping to conclusions”“Don’t lie! I know it was him! In my groups timeline he’s been convicted of this very same incident just on a different group, so please don’t lie”“stop! do you really think I would lie about something like this? Especially with such an important time coming up for us?” my voice held a growl to it, even if I was lying he didn’t need to know. And I was perfectly capable of handling the situation without him butting in. “regardless of what the man did in your timeline, ours is already changing from yours so he might not even do it again!” I stared down at the bedsheets in defiance just waiting for his reply. It came in the form of a sigh and I felt the bed creak as he shifted his weight around a little.“fine...” he paused “but. But if anything happens and I’m not saying it will or has, you know you can talk to me right?” I nodded my head as I turned to him and he was smiling softly at me eyes understanding but also sad.“the other guys came over here to check on you with me, and your group is out there watching a movie. Want to stay in here and rest or come out and join us?” he asked. I took a moment to consider his offer before shaking my head, I really was exhausted.“no you all enjoy yourselves, I tired and really need to catch up on my sleep for the big week ahead of us. But thank you for coming over and checking on me, it was very thoughtful” he nodded his head before standing.“okay rest well and I’ll see you again tomorrow for another day at the set” he turned around and left through the still open door closing it softly behind him. I sighed in relief before laying back down on my bed and trying to let sleep take me.
(~V POV~)
As soon as J-Hope Hyung and RM Hyung filled everyone in one their worries for young Hoseok we all immediately rushed across to their dorm from ours, luckily, they were still awake and watching a movie. “Hi” RM-Hyung waved at my twin who had opened the door “we were wondering if we could have a talk with you guys specifically Hoseok if that’s not too much trouble of course” he continued just as awkwardly my twin smiled our signature boxy smile that all our ARMY’s loved. “of course, you can! We’re watching a movie your welcome to join us although Hoseokie-Hyung has already gone to bed he’s not been sleeping well and was tired, but he hasn’t been gone long he might still be awake if one of you would like to go see” he stepped aside and gestured us inside with his hand, our group entered bowing politely in thanks joining the younger group in their living areas. Namjoon had paused the movie by the look of the remote currently in his hand and the others of the group were sat around the room, I cooed internally at how the younger Jungkook and Yoongi were curled up together on the love seat obviously having made up fully after the day’s events involving the two I was happy they were making up I snapped out of the daze I didn’t realize I was in when RM-Hyung tapped me on the shoulder. “V you going to sit down or just stare into space” he giggled playfully I blushed nodding and dropping to the floor beside Jimin, who smiled at me in return I smiled and lent against his shoulder taking the moment to look around the room to catch up on with what I had missed, I realized that J-Hope Hyung was gone and I pieced together that he had probably gone to talk to his twin to find out what had happened. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I awoke to was alarmed voices. “What the hell! Why didn’t he say anything? He could have made it so much worse” Seokjin screamed hysterically, I opened my eyes to be met with everyone crowded around J-hope hyung as Seokjin was panicing “Seokjin please yelling won’t make it better, yes he probably should have told us but right now what’s important is that he’s okay and what they thought had happened was just a false alarm, Right J-hope?” Namjoon spoke keeping his voice calm and collected trying to ease the atmosphere in the room. Seokjin turned to him mouth opening to retort before he thought better of it and sighed turning J-hope awaiting an answer. We all waited for what we wished to hear but the dancer looked torn.“well according to Hoseok, yes we were just getting ahead of ourselves and apparently all he’s done it twisted his wrist funny while dancing, but. I think he’s lying. I’m not sure why though, whether the directors threatened him or scared him in some way or if he’s just too embarrassed to admit what really happened, but at the minute the best we can do is wait till we catch the director in the act or Hoseok comes clean about the whole thing. Because trust me forcing him to tell the truth or tell us what we want to hear will only push him away more” everyone in the younger group seemed reluctant to agree but they also seemed to realize that j-hope-hyung was right, he knew himself best after all.“so for now we just wait?” Yoongi asked from his place next to the younger Maknae who was leant against his side.J-hope-hyung nodded“now we wait”
