Can I Afford Dreaming? (BTS Added Member)

Typical Album Preparation (BTS Daily: February 2018 Pt.2)

"Yah, Dae and I have to leave this place and enter somewhere darker. But the production of the finest I dare say. Goodbye, goodbye!" Taehyung received a message from RM, stating that it would be best to have him and Dae be at the studio for their solo songs. Something that had him very excited, but also looking forward to hearing maybe a snippet of Dae's song no one has heard fully yet.

The boy pretended to ignore Jimin's whines as he hopped on Dae. Almost bringing the two of them to the floor as Dae didn't really have the muscles to carry the act he wished. Leaving the maknae laughing with Jimin, while Jin came back confused to see two boys on the floor. "Ah Tae hyung, I am not a muscle bunny. I'm just the quick hare." But before Jungkook could fully realize Dae's tease, the boy dragged his hyung out of the room. Tae laughing at the remark and the comments heard from Jungkook such as denying the nickname and complaining about why Dae was fast now and not earlier.

"You're so cute, Dae." Random compliments but sincere truths came from V. And as much as Dae wanted to swat them away. Seeing his hyung's brilliant eyes, and smile that no one could perfectly mimic. He could not say something mean. One would say he had a very soft spot for Tae, and that is very well known with the group, ARMY, and the world. So if Tae was restricted from something, never entrust Dae to not give him it if he does have access.

"You're cuter, hyung. Trust me."

And they were let in by RM, V not fully recovered from the compliment yet.

Taehyung had gone first, the full demo heard. Once the boy was satisfied, the recording was on the go. And Dae couldn't help but admire even in half-lidded eyes how Taehyung owned this song. It was the perfect introduction to the second part of Love Yourself, and thank the heavens the world should. To live and breathe in this world wherein an encompassment of an artist rings somewhere here.

The beats and snaps highlighted its rhythm. Connecting a flow to a few instruments here and there. But what made it a masterpiece was when the puzzle had fit in V's vocals. Not too breathy and airy as one may think. It was just nurtured slowly into, trying to blend yet not fade. Singularity.

"Perfect. I'm sure by the end of this week, the full arrangement could be heard just in case you wish for changes or edits." The producer in with them even knew how well done it was. Nothing to correct as of the moment. Praying that they do justice for the song created by these artists.

"You can go to the planning of the M/V, Tae. I can accompany you." Hoseok had offered his company with V. Something that made the boy very happy as seen from his smile that had surfaced. A smile they wanted to protect.

"I would love that, hyung. But can we stay for a short while, please? I want to hear a bit of Dae's song because last time, ARMY and I were unprepared." The boy's comment had drifted the attention of all to Dae, who was contently hiding behind Yoongi. Trying to rest without asking for his dreams to take him away, not even closing his eyes for too long because of the temptation brought by slumber. The attention is given to him though just held pride over what V had been talking about.

On the Wings album, all members were given their own microphones to use on the album. Their own songs represented the current them they wanted to tell. And it was a good thing because that was one of the many things that brought attention to them. And the moments many of them shined individually, Dae one of those. As one of the main vocalists, it was already known to his fans how his tone was created with the finest chords only. Yet his own song, which he was fully credited for its lyrics (of course with the help of RM and Yoongi for revisions, and J-Hope's input to the composition) had made him secure his name. The boy with the great voice now was the boy with a song to sing. His song Ice Prince (With No Heart of Gold) was a fan favorite and caught the attention of the world. It was a song that many resonated with, yet told his own story. [It's the author, and yes this song is purely my idea. I'll explain what will happen in the author's note with regards to this.]
