Puppet Strings

Beginner's luck...

(Question closed.)

You
I've waited all day.
Do you have to keep me waiting?
Did I get it right?!

Puppet Master
You're so cute. 🥰
Fine.
Read for yourself. 😒

Jungkook walked into his new studio, water bottle in hand, and sat down at the small keyboard, folding his hands in his lap as he sighed. He had been stumped for days.  No melodies would come to him.  He looked up at the dark computer screen and turned it on, expecting to see empty staves that were waiting for him to place his key strokes on the lines. He had woke up feeling good about today, but now as he sat here, he had a lack of confidence in his abilities.  He quickly placed his hands on the keys, feeling them cool under his touch. As he looked up at the screen, he was surprised to see the staves full of notes. He had been pretty tired last night when he left the studio, most everything he did was just a blur in his mind. Perhaps he had actually finished something and forgotten? His head cocked to the side for a moment, his infamous tell that showed he was feeling puzzled.

Jungkook began to play different notes slowly at first. His heart was racing as his fingers started flowing over the keys with a melody that was rhythmic and sweet, perfect for a love ballad. He smiled as he played, proud of himself for finally having something to show the world.

Jungkook's hands finally dropped back to his lap and he stared slack-jawed at the screen. He smirked as he thought about composing more often when he was exhausted. Playing through the song again, he marveled at the beauty of it. After finishing, he pulled out his phone and recorded a small snippet of it, tweeting it out with the caption,

"ARMY! Working on something! ✌️😁 #JK #GoldenCloset"

You sit on the bus, headed home from your afternoon errands. You see the Twitter update. Was this one of the good things that the Puppet Master insinuated? A cold chill runs up your spine.

It was common knowledge that Jungkook's original music production had stagnated lately. He had even mentioned how blocked his mind was. You smile and feel encouraged. Was it really because of how you answered the question of this Puppet Master? Whatever the reason, you love seeing Jungkook happy. However, with your curiosity now piqued, you need confirmation from this Puppet Master.

You
I got it right, didn't I?

Puppet Master
Of course you did!  I knew you would.  Didn't I tell you it was an easy question?

You
Well, it was a bit unfair that you didn't specify which age system.

Puppet Master
Semantics, darling.  The point is, you answered, or rather guessed,  correctly.

You
I can't believe I'm even doing this.
That song Jungkook shared today, was that because of you?

Puppet Master
Didn't I tell you if you answer correctly, good things happen to him?

You
Well, yeah.

Puppet Master
Now you know that I follow through. 😏

You
Who are you...

Puppet Master
I already told you!
Now, are you ready for your next question?

You
Yeah. I'm ready.

Puppet Master
Good. 
I hope you like riddles! 🤓

In the place where I lay
The sun is so bright
I cover my eyes to shade out the light
I lay there a while, I linger, I dream
But in this vast empty hole
Nothing's quite what it seems.

You have till noon tomorrow. 🕛
Rest well, love! 😘

AN - All questions are BTS related, not necessarily specific to Jungkook. Felt that needed to be clarified.

Puppet Master
Stop helping them. 😡

AN - Sorry! 🤭
