*Dream*
"This week's number 1 is... BTS's Danger!!"
"We're really happy that the album we worked so hard to produce is getting so much love." Namjun says as he is holding the mic, looking at the audience with such sincerity.
Seokjin comes to Namjun's ear and whispers, "Namjun, wait. Someone's missing."
"Wait. One second, please. Huh? There really is someone missing! What do we do?! We're one short!!!"
*Dream ends*
"...and then I woke up." Hoseok looked teary-eyed as he shares his story with the members.
Jimin looks at his weirdly, "What kind of dream is that...?"
"A good one, of course. We win number 1 with Danger!" Taehyung boxy smiles at his fellow 95'er.
Seokjin covers his eyes in fear, "I think it might be a bad omen. The fact that we were missing someone makes me feel weird."
"Wait, why do we have to believe Hoseok's dream? Jeong Hoseok's notorious for being wrong about this stuff." Yunki comments.
Taehyung shakes his head, "I don't believe in things like dreams, anyway. It's all superstition. Our album's going to do well, not we'll. Well, not well, well, not well..."
Jimin looks over to his friend, "You're playing loves me, loves me not. I don't think you're one to talk..."
"Not well. Holy! No!! The petals stopped at not well! Our poor album!!!" Taehyung whines as he drops the final petal.
"D-Don't worry! Here! Here's another flower!" Seokjin quickly cups his hands into a flower and holds them towards Taehyung.
Taehyung starts to laugh again thanks to Seokjin's quick thinking.
"Are you supposed to get this nervous when they announce the score? I'm trying so hard not to expect anything, but that's not helping. What do I do?" Yunki talks to himself, nervous for the announcement.
"You too, hyung? Haha, honestly... Me too." Hoseok anxiously smiles.
"You need to say that you don't for it to turn out well. Or better yet, stop having any expectations." Jeongguk says to his hyungs.
Hoseok groans out, "Augh! Jeongguk... Okay. I won't expect anything. I don't. Wow, I don't feel good about this!"
"I know you're joking, but it doesn't feel right." Seokjin shares his thoughts.
"Ah, what do you want me to do?"
Namjun shares his thoughts, "I think we need a more conclusive prediction at this point, not just loose expectations. What are your thoughts, Manager?"
(Y/N) turns his way, "Huh? A prediction? My prediction for this album... It'll do really well! No, it's already a great one!"
"But we haven't even released our album yet." Jimin says.
"You captured one of your greatest strengths your genuine sincerity. I consider that alone a mark of success!" (Y/N) says with pride.
Yunki's anxious state turns to a more calm phase, "It's more an interpretation than a dream, but... I like it."
"I'm worried that we were a little too genuine. We were a bit... dark and wild when we were in the U.S..." Namjun cringes at the memory.
"But I'm glad we went there! I'm even more glad for Manager, who took us there!" Hoseok curves his lips into his heart-shaped smile as he ruffles (Y/N)'s hair.
"Aww, thanks for those considerate words, Hobi!! But hey, the results aren't always important! The process is!" (Y/N) pats the boys' backs.
Taehyung pouts cutely as he wipes his fake tears, "Hmph... But the results are important, too..."
Seokjin comes over to (Y/N)'s ear, "Manager, you sound like you're trying to comfort us. You're not saying it's going to flop, are... you?"
(Y/N)'s gasps from startlement. "No, no way! I just... you guys tried your best. I can say that with confidence. What you went through means so much..." She places the palm of her dominant hand on her heart.
"You're right, Manager. We grew a lot in the U.S. as we struggled to make the album." Seokjin nods to the small female.
Jeongguk bounces from his spot, "I really did grow... 3 centimeters..."
The doorbell rings. (Y/N) opens the door to see an enormous box.
'It's-!'
"Oh, it's the frames with our FESTA family photos in them. They look so cool!" Hoseok gazes at the photos whole heartedly.
Seokjin gestures to himself before gesturingto the box, "Just like me. How do you like my surprise gift? Phenomenal like my existence?"
"Oh, I wondered why you borrowed my laptop yesterday. Was it to order that?" Jeongguk asks.
"No. I borrowed it to play games."
"I really feel like we're a family with these photos!" Jimin holds a photo to his chest where his hearts placed.
"If we're a family, who's dad and who's mom? What about the son? Daughter? Dog? Cat?" Taehyung smiles at his playful questions.
"I don't know about that, but Yunki hyung's the grandpa."
Yunki looks at Jimin confused, "What? Why me?"
Seokjin shrugs, "Because you're always lying down?"
"Because you find things annoying?" Namjun adds in.
"Think of it positively! You get people doting on you." Hoseok says, his smile forming its signature heart shape.
Yunki's face darkens from betrayal, "I trusted you, Hoseok..."
The guys burst out laughing. (Y/N) couldn't help but smile and giggle a but at what she sees.
'I hope I can stay with these kind, incredible people for a long, long time.'
"Wait... I feel like we're forgetting something!" Namjun says all of a sudden.
"Right! What time is it? Our album should be out by now!" Yunki shouts.
The members rush to the living room to check the music site. They grow silent.
"Manager... What do we do?" Jimin says, his tone sounding timid.
Jeongguk's voice sounded disheartened, "Our song isn't on the chart at all..."
(Y/N)'s eyes widen at what she's told. Her blood runs cold to the point where it was inhumane. She felt like she failed. Failed at her skills, failed the boys, failed herself, failed everyone. She gets a text notification as she approaches them.
President:
[You said the first full-length was
that important heh]
[This is the result of the full support
I gave you? Lol]
(Y/N)'s heart sinks to the bottom of her feet. Her eyes settle on the family photo hanging on the living room wall.
*Flashback*
"Let's keep taking family photos next year, next next year, and next next next year too!" Taehyung says, his lips curving up to his cheeks.
Seokjin nods, "We'll have to stay together, then!"
"That's not very difficult at all!" Hoseok says.
Jimin chuckles at the thought, "It's going to feel so weird years from now when we look at then next to each other."
"They're going to store memories." Namjun gives a kind look in his eyes as he says that.
Yunki agrees with his comment, "That makes us rich in spirit."
Jeongguk notices the timer, "Huh? The timer's about to go off! Everyone, pose! 5, 4, 3, 2..."
*Flashback ends*
The shrill sound of (Y/N)'s ringtone tears through the silence.
<President>
(Y/N)'s lips quiver in fear as she accepts the call with shaking hands. "H-Hello?"
She hears things she doesn't want to believe over the receiver. The call ends, (Y/N) turned pale as her chest was beating so hard through her ears and looked as if she's seen a ghost.
The boys look at her state and felt so worried.
Jimin answers, "Manager, are you alright? What kind of phone call was that? You don't look very well."
(Y/N) utters out words, her voice breaking as a tear leaves her eye. "Guys, I...
...I have to leave you"
.

It was at that moment the boys realized what the dream meant. That bad omen, of someone being missing. That missing person... was (Y/N).
