and jeongguk wants nothing more but to simply tell her how precious she is to her members, to her own company, to her fans (and he means loyal fans, who truly accept and appreciate her), and to him. he knows how hard yerim works for the things that she wants ― starting with songwriting, where she has expressed her interest, and pursued it; and at times, sharing her own lyrics with his group leader, namjoon or yoongi, to receive criticism so that she can improve on her skills; learning to play different instruments; improving on her vocals and rap skills.

he knows she works for it, and she deserves all the good things that has been blessed upon her. "princess, i want you to listen to me. i know it is hard to just look past these negativity that is eating within you, and it is hard to just push them aside and to be happy again, but i want you to know something. with your continuous hard work, effort, and passion since young, you deserve to be standing proudly as a member of red velvet, as an idol on stage, chasing after your own dreams. you deserve to do the things you want, even if it means getting a tattoo, picking up another instrument, learning another language, writing songs to express yourself, doing things that you love; you deserve the right to do every single one of them. so please, stop questioning your worth because you're worthy of everything you have earned till this point," jeongguk speaks to her gently, filled with utmost sincerity as he pours out his admiration and love for her.

he then hears a soft from the other, as she instinctively wraps her arms around his muscular torso, her fingers grasping at the back of his shirt tightly while the front of his shirt is instantly stained with her tears (which he does not mind). "and lastly, i want you to know that i love you so much, and i'm your biggest fan ever, alright?" he murmurs, pressing his lips against her head, holding it there for a few seconds, before embracing her tightly, never wanting to let her go.

he can feel her head moving against his chest, probably nodding in response to his statement, along with the tightening of her arms, causing jeongguk to break into a small smile, relieved that his girl is somewhat comforted by him.

"have you listen to our new album?" jeongguk asks a few seconds later, remembering the song which he has co-composed for the recent album that bts has dropped ― love yourself, tear edition; magic shop, a song which he has poured out his feelings towards his fans, his members, and also, her secretly.

yerim pulls away, sniffling softly as she wipes the corner of her eyes even though the faint traces of her tear drops can be spotted with the minimal light in the room, "i did, it's amazing as usual, jeon."

"and i want you to listen again," he mumbles, reaching around his back as he pulls his phone out from his pocket. returning to the usual position, with his arms around yerim, the male swiftly unlocks his phone and heads over to his music library, scrolling through the number of playlists before locating the song. plugging in his earphones, he carefully inserts one side into yerim's ear, and the other into his, before clicking the 'play' button.

"what song are we―" she asks, before stopping mid-way at the familiar voice of her boyfriend at the start of the song, with the corners of her lips turning upwards. no doubt, jeongguk's voice has a soothing effect on her and she always listens to his covers to calm herself down. and with the simple start of the song, yerim instantly identifies the tittle, glancing up at her boyfriend with a smile, proud of him of releasing such a touching song to his fans.

as they reach the bridge part, jeongguk whispers softly, "i want you to listen this, yerim. i wrote this part thinking of you."

you found me. you recognized me,
you gave me the best of me
so you'll give the best of you
you'll find it in your galaxy

at the end of it, yerim can't help but tear up once again, understanding what the male means when he wrote that part thinking of her, while jeongguk breaks into a smile, hoping that part of the song will lift her spirits up.

before they went into a relationship, the two have always been friends (who silently crush on each other, and at times flirt with each other), or rather, best friends. they met through jeongguk's member, taehyung, who made friends with yerim before her debut (which nobody knows how, but it's taehyung), who then went on to introduce his youngest member to her. and surprisingly, the duo clicked instantly, and ever since then, had been each other's main support in almost everything.

jeongguk remembers his setback during his journey as bts's youngest member, and also as a member, and main vocalist; almost being cut off from being part of the official line up of bts, to receiving hate from some fans in the fandom for constantly being in the main spotlight of most songs to even asking him to leave the group, and to go solo. of course, such hate did reach jeongguk's ears, and at times, the youngest did considered quitting the group since he didn't receive much welcome but her, kim yerim, insisted for him to stay and constantly stuck by his side, fighting against the hate with him.

it was the two against the world.

and is still the two against the world. and this time, it is jeongguk's time to stick by yerim's side, and constantly support her, because she did that for him and without her, without her support and acknowledgement of his talent and effort, jeongguk would not continue standing on that stage. she brought out the best part of him, and still does.

and, the male hopes he can do the same for her.

hugging her tightly in his arms, jeongguk whispers softly, "i know that the words are hurtful, the world is cruel, and people are just selfish, thinking only for themselves. but rim-ah, i want you to continue believing in yourself, and do what you love. remember, you got me as your number one fan, supporter forever." and with that, the girl breaks into a genuine smile, as she nods her head, burying herself further into the male's arms.

sure, it isn't going to be easy for her to overlook the hate comments coming in, and to ignore the fact that some fans in the fandom aren't supportive of her, but yerim is going to start believing in herself more and be more confident of herself. if she ever feels tired along the way, she simply knows that she has jeongguk to support her from behind, and vice versa.

hi! wow.... it has definitely been awhile since i opened this app and i have decided to publish some of my works here as completed once i have updated the remaining chapters, that have been sitting as draft for a really long period. 

and i have decided to complete this one-shot compilation in the next 2 days, and marked it as completed and not work on it anymore. so heads up, i written this entire one-shot series when was i was 17 or 18, and i feel that the style and type of writing i have created in this entire one-shot is no longer what i am leaning or going for anymore. 

which brings my final decision to publish my old writing works in this book, and to leave it hanging here. so if you think the writing is too teenage-y, i understand 'cos i feel the same but hey, it is not going to surface anymore, i think? 

enjoy this if you like it, and i don't remember the inspiration behind this anymore but i do know it is a bts's song then. till then, kudos and take care.
