Hearts Never Die

The Risk of a Better Life ࿓

𝐼t was the morning of Bangtan's moving day. They were all squirming with both nerves, and excitement. None of them truly knew how to feel, they had just debuted their first album and it wasn't going so well. They knew it was going to be too much for them, they were still so young.

"Are we sure this is the route we want to go?" Namjoon questioned. "Come on namjoon, our album isn't getting anywhere. If we go to this school we will get the education we've always wanted. Jungkook is only 15 and he is too young to be living in a one room apartment and being ran by a shit company with the rest of us. Why would you want to stay here when we could get so much out of going to this new school?" Jimin interrupted. Jungkooks heart dropped to his feet. He loved his boyfriend Jimin, but his comment made him feel slightly targeted, wondering if he was the reason they had to leave.

"Oh..." Jungkook said under his breath. "Jungkook you know you're not the problem," Taehyung added, "We are all too young to be living this way. If we move to this new school, we will get better education like we've never gotten before. Maybe we could release better music, and grow a better fan base who will actually see us in concert, we won't have to beg for people to come to our shows." Namjoon looked over at Taehyung like it was the smartest thing he's ever said. The room fell silent as they continued to pack their lives into their suitcases.

"I mean, come on guys. This is probably what's best for us. It gives us a chance to get away from Big Hit. They're treating us so awfully and we have so much going for us, a good group of people, everyone is so talented. Going to this school would only give us chances to get more talented, and grow as a group." Hoseok was the wisest one in the group, everything he spoke was out of honesty and he would never lie for a second.

15 minutes went by of nothing but silence, as each of the boys were thinking about what was ahead of them. They didn't know what to expect, with a school named "Monster High" and a terribly bad reputation, it was only right they were worrisome. They weren't sure why the school had such an awful reputation, all they knew is that it was a really old and eerie school; nothing to be carefree about. In the end, it was the only thing they could afford, enrollment was $50 dollars each, and they weren't making much from their newest album.

"Well, come on guys! Look at the bright side. We get to move away from Korea, live in the United States, and get away from the publicity here. No one will really know who we are in the states. We really get to get a fresh start!" Jungkook said excitedly, he was the most excited for moving. He is young and eager, always wanting to try something new.

The group started talking, each word mixing together as they were all speaking over each other till the conversation sounded like a different language. The only one who wasn't speaking was namjoon, who was sitting on the bed facing away from the group. Yoongi slowly walked over and placed his hands on namjoons shoulders. "Hey Joon, what's up? You okay?" Yoongi asked softly. "Yeah, I'm alright. You know I'm just really worried about this school. We know it doesn't have a good reputation, I feel like I'm more worried about something happening to you guys more than anything." Namjoon said, as a tear almost slipped from his eye.

Jin quickly chimed into the conversation, "it's okay Joon, nothings going to happen to us as long as we have each other..." Jin's words were flying out of his mouth as he continued to comfort Namjoon as the rest of the group continued to pack their things. Jimin and Jungkook were in the corner by themselves as they packed their bags. "We act like we're not coming back" Jungkook joked under his breath. Jimin fluffed up his hair and said "maybe they are, maybe we aren't." Jimin looked at Namjoon and then back at Jungkook, he giggled and then kissed his cheek.

"You know, we've said million times over, but if our album continues to not do well, maybe we can stay here in the states and start over just the two of us." Jimin was trying to be as quiet as possible, but as soon as he finished his last word an entire sea of eyes was staring directly at him.

"You really think that way?" Taehyung barged into the conversation almost immediately. "You'd really run off from the rest of us just to live your life with your boyfriend? It's already hard enough on the rest of us to watch yall hug and kiss each other all the time-" Jimin tried to interject, but was instantly met with "Ohh ohh Jungkook... ohhh Jimin.... ALL THE DAMN TIME! .. It was so hard for us to even finish our album because you two couldn't listen. You couldn't get off of each other for two minutes. You always had to be touching each other, Jimin you even wanted to kiss Jungkook every time he sang??? It is outrageous and im so tired of-"

"Tae stop it." Yoongi was so tired of hearing everyone argue he had to be the one to say something, even if he is usually the one who watches. "Listen, Taehyung I know it was hard on you, but I don't think the rest of us are nearly as furious as you are. It got a little frustrating I think we can all say, but at the end of the day you guys are dating and we can't change that." The room was silent, Hoseok was staring at his outfit in the mirror, Namjoon was half asleep on the bed as Jin was still trying to make him feel better, Jimin and Jungkook were close to tears and of course, on top of each other. Taehyung was facing away from everyone with his arms crossed, and Yoongi was standing alone as he had to sit with what he said, eagerly waiting for a response.

"So are we just not going to speak?" Yoongi added. "I think you guys are right" Jungkook said, "And im sorry. Me and Jimin will do better in the future" Jungkook added quietly. "I just don't see why it's such a big deal to yall." jimin said, quickly being interrupted by "Just forget it! we're running out of time to get our stuff together and we each have a bag or two left to pack. Why are we wasting time." Jin shouted. He wasn't the one who would usually get furious, so the room was filled with tension, but it was so obviously stress motivated.

"Come on guys, let's pack our stuff and talk about the things we're most excited about!" Namjoon said, contributing to the conversation as he felt like that was the right thing to do as a leader even after his emotional moment. A couple seconds passed and the conversation started again.

20 minutes passed, each member had about 4 bags attached to their hip. Almost like they had packed everything they ever owned into these rectangular bags filled to the brim with zippers that didn't even fully shut. They were then called to the door, indicating that it was time to leave the place they called home for a year and a half already.

Outside their door was 5 cars, ready to take any luggage and bring the members to the airport.

The members got in the car, each taking their own time to really think about what was happening. There wasn't a lot of conversation happening in each of the cars. The drivers were desperately eager to speak to them, but they all didn't want to say anything.

Once they arrived at the airport, it was time for them to really go. Namjoon looked at all of his members and said "I love you all, and I promise whatever happens here is for the future of our group. This is what we've wanted all along, and it's finally time for us to get what we deserve."

Security watched as they walked the stairs to get in the plane, waving goodbye.
