#kookmin fights

[mrs-monaghan]

Hii, first time here 🙋🏽‍♀️

Love your tumblr sooo much, I found out about their relationship in your tumblr, one of the best out here! I have questions about jikook:

Do you think they broke up at some point in the relationship?

Is there any moment (besides the one in Manila) when they appear fighting on camera for everyone to see?

Did they go through some shit in their relationship in 2019?

Is JK really codependent and obsessive (in a GOOD way) when it comes to Jimin?

Heeeeeeeey

Do you think they broke up at some point in the relationship?

No, they've never broken up. They've taken breaks. But never broken up. There is nothing out there that points to this being the case...In my opinion. Maybe once or twice Jimin suggested they do break up for the sake of the group? But then that didn't work out coz JK shut the idea down, real quick. Maybe. Who knows? Not me. ☺

Is there any moment (besides the one in Manila) when they appear fighting on camera for everyone to see?

Yes. On this post.

My Manilla theory here.

Rainy day fight

Another speculation here

Did they go through some shit in their relationship in 2019?

Yes

Is JK really codependent and obsessive (in a GOOD way) when it comes to Jimin?

I'd say so... yes. But anon, there is no way to be codependent in a good way. So the word you're looking for is interdependent.

Hope you got what u wanted 😘

Needed a moment to collect.

I hear the winds of the wasteland blowing through my head because it will feel so barren without them. It's not as if we see them in real time everyday...but... I already miss them.

It's the same feeling I had after the June 2022 Festa dinner. I was so bereft it was mind-blowing. They tried their best to convey what their plan was and to reassure us and they asked us to listen to them and trust them.

Many struggled with that request.

It was slow realizing it wasn't the end and then everything accelerated and these past few weeks/months have been a doozy. Look at what this past year and a half brought us. More Bangtan joy than I thought was possible!

Now, for me, its just knowing they won't be going about their regular crazy days staying up until dawn, or flying out in the morning just to sleep for the next 10 hours on a plane and land at who knows what time where ever, and hit the ground running. Or going out with their friends to a meat restaurant to just eat, drink and chill. Or working on music or choreo or planning whatever. Or visiting art galleries or museums and stopping for coffee on a beautiful day.

They certainly didn't update us everyday about those things but they did just enough for us to know that's what their lives entail and let us fill in the rest. All that's on pause now.

It is hard to comprehend that Jungkook just wrapped up a very successful solo release just to put it all aside and step away.

His heartfelt letter was precious. I expect something similar from Jimin.

They knew they were going to do it. We knew to expect it. Still...

This is something they are required to do, they are going to do and they are prepared to do it.

Let them do it in peace, grace and dignity.

They prepared some things for us. Be grateful.

Though it's tough knowing the time has come, I also know that they are not going to let those wasteland winds linger in my head very long. They are already dissipating because we have stuff coming down the pipe:

We heard last year that the Disney+ documentary was going to be a series and here it's coming soon. It will take us through to January.

And now the excitement is through the roof upon learning Jimin and Jungkook are about to head to Japan.

The MAMA Awards are being held at the Tokyo Dome, Tuesday, Nov. 28. They are leaving today/tomorrow. Plenty of time to relax, have a little down time and vacation, shoot some content, and then accept their awards Tuesday night.

We already know a "travel with Jimin and Jungkook" is coming soon. Should we anticipate a revisit to GCF Tokyo, or maybe something else similar? I love those two so much, they're always on my mind. They've been so sneaky and careful only because they know this is something special for us. Maybe it will come to us following the Disney series. We don't know what content they've got in the can, ready to follow.

Then we will have a few more months before Jin returns next summer.

Jimin and Jungkook. In recent months, I've gotten really good at filtering out the noise. I've sat here with calm understanding about Jimin and Jungkook, seeing them STILL the same with each other in every bit of new content they've shared. I only need my own two eyes and ears to detect that strong bond. They have the thing that is precious between two people. Grand gestures are not necessary and not their style.

They love their fans... that would be us: ARMY... they love us. They want to give us what we want. They live for that. So Jimin brought back his blonde hair, showed us his moons running down his back. And Jungkook stepped out of the shower naked. They KNOW what we want and want to give it to us as best they can! They know we love them and want to show off their chemistry.

Not gonna lie, this past year flew by for me. It was month after month of anticipation. And now here we are at the end of the year.

All the arguing and fighting and ugliness that some engage in is just noise. Our mens are gonna be the good and honest beings they are no matter what anyone says. Listen to them.

We expect them all back mid-year 2025. We expect a wonderful new most beautiful moment in life. We expect the best is yet to come. We expect something amazing and we won't be disappointed. Trust them.

Their plan is already in motion and has been. We wait™️.

The connections are connecting

So, I am slow, I admit it. It was early in the morning, and I was half asleep, and on my way to work, and starting out at work, and although I posted about the live, it didn't actually register until this very minute.

But hot damn, JM posted on IG on 4 June 2023, at JK o'clock.

And JK just told us about the rainy day fight on 5 June 2023.

Do we see the connection?

4 June 2020.

The day JK released Still with you as his gift for army (he literally said that in an interview).

Same JK who brought up the rainy day fight during Festa dinner 2020.

Was that a coincidence then? Him bringing it up during the Festa dinner just after releasing Still with you, with the clear references to a rainy day, with us knowing that JK writes songs out of his own life experiences?

Was it a coincidence that JM posted yesterday, on the 3 year anniversary to that song's release at JK o'clock?

Was it a coincidence today that he chose to answer the question about the rainy day fight and tell us all about it, followed by JM this and JM that and just overall giving us another JM fest?

I just LOVE all these little Jikook coincidences.

Don't you?

Jikook's Rainy Day Fight

So FINALLY getting around to making this post. Lol so honestly go read this one first. It's a HUGE post I made where I really broke down my thoughts about the rainy day fight before they told us more about it. I still stand by alot of these thoughts for the most part now that we know more. The only thing I might switch up a bit is the very last paragraph where I said something like "this clearly has nothing to do with BTS as a whole and seems like a couple-esque fight more than anything else." Imma walk that one back with the new info given lol

Regardless, read this post first before proceeding. Thanks!

Okay, all done with that post? Great! So here is what JK said about the rainy day fight:

And here is what Jimin said:

Overall, the dramatics were ridiculous (i say lovingly) for what this fight was about and somehow it still gives off couple vibes simply because of the way they escalated this "speak more politely to your hyungs" conversation into a "I'm cutting you off" and a slam dunk hug in the rain reunion. Lol

(The way they both think back the most fond over that reunion hug is so freaking cute)

Things I want to additionally point out.

- Hobi hyung getting angry was the barometer of "wow. I super fucked up this time" which makes me cackle 🤣 the man is an angel lol

- after brushing aside his other members remarks and everyone else huffing but leaving, Jimin was the one to make the effort to pull him aside to have a more serious conversation about it. Trying to take it seriously with him, give him respect in return and not make it seem like he was being ganged up on. It speaks once again to how they have always been so incredibly close to each other. This was back in 2015 ish and they made these allowances for each other and gave each other their trust.

- Both Jimin and Jungkook told the same story, but took the blame for the fight upon themselves. They recongized what happened but when sharing the story with a third party, made it seem totally like their own fault (when clearly they both had some anger issues and bad judgements during that fight). It seemed like they were lowkey trying to protect the other and mostly just felt bad about their own contributions to the fight rather than the other person's. Clearly the forgiveness was absolute.

- Jungkooks snarkiness clearly got Jimin feed up to the point where he snapped and said something he clearly didn't mean, but also clearly felt. He probably felt disrespected and felt like that wasn't the type of bond they had cultivated together. And JK clearly felt bad and was upset himself and even after they separated, when he found himself upset and lost, his first instinct was to reach out to Jimin. And even pissed off and mad, Jimins first instinct was to answer JKs phone call and make sure he was okay and safe. Just for them to reunite not too long after, both feel shitty for their behavior and find a secluded spot for them to actually talk it through before they went home and to bed. Regardless of their full day of schedules right after that too. It's incredibly sweet of them.

- its still lowkey giving off couple fight/break up and reunion vibes. Lmfao but only in how they handled their dramatics, not in the actual fight. Nor do I think they were a couple during this time frame. I do think they were harboring crushes on each other, but that's a seperate conversation. And the fact that JK held onto feeling guilty over his bratty attitude and causing this fight so many years later??? Clearly, it had a lasting impact, even though he still acts like a brat to Jimin sometimes lol its done in a teasing manner rather than a disrespectful one. And it's something that the two of them clearly encourage in their bond together.

- the acknowledgement of that through this fight (and the subsequent conversation on the roof and make up afterwards) they got closer is worth highlighting and mentioning too. When a fight/disagreement is done in a healthy way (and while it didnt start that way. They clearly got there), the communication and the way you can get to know someone better can be so helpful for having an even better relationship. Platonic, romantic or any other kind. I'm glad they spent that time together on the roof. It was probably something they both really needed that night and lead to even more emotional vulnerability and comfort between the two of them going forward I'm sure.

Thanks to everyone for waiting so long for me to write this up and for anyone who read this far too. 💜 I know I ramble a lot! I think this was everything I had to say about the rainy day fight though! 💜 Hope you all have a good rest of your day/night!

If that rooftop had ears...

Now we have just one more teensy piece of the puzzle, that is the history of Jungkook and Jimin.  

The rooftop.

I don’t recall the rooftop being mentioned ever before.  Of course, I’m not original ARMY from 2013, but I have watched a ton of original content in the last 3 years.

That rooftop must have been a place that they frequented, when they needed time away from the ears and eyes of their hyungs.  They probably had a lot of conversations there, and I would bet a lot of bonding happened as a result of it.

When you think about how they were literally piled up together in a small living space originally (sharing the bunk-beds all in a room together).....and then still didn’t have their own personal sleeping space until they moved out of the dorm, it’s no wonder that a place like an accessible rooftop would become a little refuge.  

Humans need space.  Privacy.  An opportunity to think away from others. 

I personally had wondered about their private space in the years that they were living in the dorm environment.  It’s really not a normal way for 7 young men/teens to live, where literally every moment is captured by cameras, and there are staff persons and such around all the time.  (Not to mention the separation from their families.)  It was not a normal way to live. 

My guess is that the rooftop was a place that they all went to at various times, when they needed to.  It makes so much sense...

That “Rainy Day Fight” story just took on more depth, and has offered us a clearer understanding of the dynamics. And, Kookie just gave us a deeper glimpse of how he and Jiminie navigated during times of difficulty and stress...  

Oh, to be a fly on that rooftop...  the stories it could tell.  💜🐰🐥💜

[andy-wm]

Interesting question...what happens when/if Jikook finally reveal themselves as a couple/married? What will those obsessed people do? (The ones who are obsessed with proving they are a couple although they don't give a damn about them?) Are they capable of moving on to something else? Because then the mystery is gone and their reason for trying so damn hard to prove Jikook is a couple is gone - then what? What do people with that kind of mindset do after?

Don't you ever wonder?

Just to be clear, are you asking if i think about the obsessed jikookers who seem to be in it for their own gratification?

Short answer:

No, i dont really think about them.

I have had a few encounters with people who seem to think about nothing else. Although I try to avoid the sassaeng-level obsessed people, truthfully i can also be a little single minded... I'm ND and have trouble with moderation.

(I spent an inordinate amount of time during covid, watching grainy fancams from 2015, to fill a void in my life and a gap in my understanding of how their relationship developed)

But i know that being wholy consumed by any one thing is a little unhealthy, so for my own mental well-being I try to have some balance.

However, now i AM thinking about them now, so back to your question 😁

Will people who don't reallly care about jikook move on, if they don't have anything prove/fight for?

If they are the type to always go looking for something to brawl over, then i guess they will move on. And good riddance. Jikook doesn't need supporters who are only there to stir up drama.

I think there are also those agressive and obsessed jkkrs and tkkrs who would continue to throw poop at each other even if jikook livestreamed their wedding and had Tae as their best man. Those people may not really care about JM and JK in particular but they will NEVER GIVE UP on PRINCIPLE.

Jikook doesn't need supporters like that either, imo.

But what about those of us who do care about them and their happiness?

Will people who are obsessed with proving the relationship and who do genuinely care also move on?

These are the jkkrs who want to bask in the glow of true love, but also like to fight a good fight.

Will they lose interest if they don't have the obsessive need to prove the naysayers wrong?

My guess is no, because the joy of watching jikook together is euphoric in itself. Their obvious adoration and the care and dedication give us reasons too smile.

But they might miss the good ol' days of slapping back at tkkrs or high-fiving their jkkr friends when they cut down a toxic solo with a well timed caustic response. (That is kinda gratifying, let's be honest.) They might miss the detective work and in depth analysis of every bit of footage.

So maybe also yes. They might need a new adventure. I'm not saying they will stop caring about jikook, but i think they may seek out a new cause to fight for. As a side interest 😉.

Then again, if jikook DID come out, all hell would break loose. Jikook crusaders (said fondly) would have new banners to gather under because fires would be burning on every front. Many of us - even the quiet ones on the sidelines - would probably be fighting for them.

In fact if they did come out, i think (hope) those of us who have been interested but not entirely invested (and definitely not obsessed with proving anything) would rise up too.

Jikook don't really need us now, but they will need us if it ever happens. And i hope that we - the reservists let's call ourselves - will be prepared to fight. Just like JK was when Yoongi whacked that shuttlecock at JM.

As for me, I would stand shoulder to shoulder with all and any supporters to defend them. And I truly hope all armys, but especially the Jimin and Jungkook biased armys, would rally behind them under a rainbow flag. Because tkkrs arent the real enemy imo. They are just sad, angry people with no idea what true love looks like.

The real enemies are the bigots who hold power, and the institutionalised homophobia that threatens their safety, career and happiness.

And because that last paragraph was a bit of a downer, here are some things to warm your heart...

[mrs-monaghan]

Why do you think Jimin decided to travel the world for 3 weeks without Jungkook back in 2019?

Here is a few things:

•They could have gotten a Tokyo 2.0, but decided not to.

•The little glimpses we got from JK during that time,... he looked quite sad

•I feel it in my gut that Jikook had a pivotal moment during their summer break in 2019.

I am not usually confident on speaking about Jikook fights/breaks seeing as I wasn't Army yet. As a late comer I only have others to rely on and I can't trust that 100%. It's always gonna be better consuming content in real time.

That being said 😁

I do agree with most assessments that something was a bit wonky in 2019. And while what Jimin did for JK's birthday was HUGE and sweet and amazing, I do feel like it happened for a reason. Almost like it was crucial for him to do so. Like, think about it.

He went to great lengths to make it for that birthday. And he was only there for a short period before he had to leave again.

Jimin spent more time travelling than with JK. But for some reason he just had to be there. Something about this has always seemed...not sus, no. But like there was more to it. You know what I mean?

And we haven't even factored in the photo Jimin uploaded where its pretty clear JK had been crying. Why would JK cry on his birthday? My theory, which isn't really mine but rather an existing theory that I agree with, is that mans did not expect so see Jimin and was hella relieved that Mimi showed up.

Jimin had taken off for however long the Tannies were on holiday for, without JK and the latter thought for sure his bf wasn't going to be there for his birthday. We know this because the whole thing was a surprise.

Also, this was around the time (2018-2019) members were moving out of the dorm and getting their own places so we know Jikook had been inseparable until this point. And while it has always been common knowledge that Jimin had other friends outside of BTS, that wasn't the case for JK.

So members are scattered doing their own thing with their friends and family and JK is in Seoul doing what? Jikook are interdependent we already know this and JK's person is travelling Europe without him. So probably the very first time in years they've been away from eo, for this amount of time.

I can see this affecting satellite Jeon big time. And so when he's already accepted Jimin will be MIA for his big day, BOOM! their friend helps Jimin organise the surprise party for JK.

If Jikook were fighting like many seem to think, then JK was prolly so happy to see Jimin. He didn't expect him, for one. And also he didn't know how long the fight was gonna last for, so the waiting had prolly been torture. So Jimin showing up must have made JK so relieved and happy. Poor baby

That he went and tattooed JM on his hand to show his gratitude? His devotion? His commitment? Who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️

So why do I think they fought u ask? I do not know, anon. I wasn't around. But theories that make sense to me;

Jimin wanted them to enjoy their holiday separately?

They'd been inseparable for 8 years and Jimin thought some space would do them good?

Jimin wanted them to hang out with other people rather than just each other?

All theories insinuate whatever separation was happening during this time was Jimin's call. Because if it was up to JK they would spend 24/7 together and he would be just fine. As long as he has Jimin, is all good.

And because Jimin knows his baby has separation anxiety, he made sure to @least come back for JK's birthday. Even if it would only be for a few hours before he was off traveling again.

Are You Sure?!

NO! I am not!!! What did I just watch?!? And I am not even talking about the episodes yet!

Yes, I believe Jimin and Jungkook are very close, and in my opinion, likely have a romantic relationship. So I was very excited when their travel show was announced because I love some Jikook content. But all I wanted and expected from this show was to watch Jimin and Jungkook having fun together before their military enlistment. Of course I figured there would be cute and sus moments, but I expected it to be no different from In The Soop or some Run BTS episodes. That was my belief right up until they started showing us the promo teasers...

Wait. What?!

I had already raised an eyebrow at the mention of GCF Tokyo. That already had me feeling delulu as hell.

I 100% expected Are You Sure?! to be a "bro" show, and everything we had seen initially fit that expectation. NEVER, in a million years, did I expect the official trailers for the show to look romantic as hell. I was NOT prepared!!! This was the first teaser that full on broke me. They showed so much couple looking content... I mean they freaking showed them brushing teeth together in matching PJS! And that was just the start of it. This is not what you would do if you're trying to play this off as just good friends traveling together. So what the hell are they doing officially promoting the show this way?!

I was seriously confused by that trailer. Like my brain broke. I just could not understand how this was the official trailer. That is what lead to this theory:

And the rest of the teasers just solidified that theory for me because they obviously went with "couple" over "bro" vibe.

@stormblessed95 talks about the AYS trailers:

@kanmom51 talks about Are you sure? main trailer:

If Jimin and Jungkook aren't together, someone needs to tell Bighit!

Honestly though, I still thought this would end up looking like fan service and maybe the most couple looking moments were cut into the trailers to make the show look tame in comparison. And then I watched the first two episodes. WTAF?!?!

I seriously can not believe the stuff they put in the show. But that's another post.

[mimikoolover]

i’m a kookmin truther but how is the heart km photo more sus than possibly jk back hugging a woman? appearing to be teasing her where it doesn’t look totally platonic at all?

my belief is whether kookmin is STILL dating right now, at the very least kookmin fooled around more than once and their dynamic and relationship deserve some eyebrow raising if they’re seeing other people while doing the things they are doing.

however, it really boggles my mind when kookminers totally act like there’s nothing sus about those videos. it’s one thing to think that man wasn’t jk but to acknowledge it MIGHT be him, then you should also be more honest.

I genuinely think it was him. I cope by thinking that we had a vague timeline, although we have an idea given the hairstyle that man had. I cope by believing JK and Jimin tried to date, broke up, see other people and whatever they are doing months before enlisting.

I always held onto the belief that they have such a peculiar relationship. That if something is truly going on, good for them and for me, as i can say I’m not surprised. However, if in this universe they never truly “officially” dated, i would have so many questions and i definitely feel bad about their significant others.

i think in your mind him being in a straight relationship is automatically more realistic. imo you can't infer anything sus from the video because they're not kissing or even sitting on the couch cuddling. jungkook is quite a playful person i assume with everyone so back hugging isn't that sus. if you remember (you may not) the picture of him with the tattoo artist, he was back hugging her too so...you could argue that was sus? if he took a pic like the heart arch pic with a woman, would you think that was more sus than the video or not? i think for all of us thinking objectively is hard because what we feel will be influenced by our internal biases and how we think about jikook too. but it's not like i /want/ jikook to date each other. i'm fine with whatever they are. i'm not fighting you on your opinion for that reason. if i'm honest one of the reasons why i think the video wasn't sus is because he went on to deny having a gf right after the leak which i'm pretty sure was the truth, given his don't give a fuck attitude in 2023, i doubt he would have denied it if it were true, especially as that has not happened before (with the tattoo artist). so maybe he dated her earlier and not by the time he denied it but idk.

peculiar is the right word but tbh i don't think either of them had a significant other you'd have to feel sorry for, as in even if they were casually seeing other ppl i don't think it ever got very far (so far). if it did i think jikook may have 'cooled off' from each other especially jungkook cause he seems (again just my perception of him) very dedicated to the person he loves given how he's followed jimin around like a puppy, complained about not spending time with him etc. he would quite happily be with jimin 24/7 so if that were his S/O i bet they'd get at least this level of sole dedication.

funnily i think about the content of your ask quite a lot...i also think it's interesting that this topic only comes up concerning jungkook and not 'sus' things about jimin that tbh i don't even bother looking into but saw a bit about back in the day (that actress posting from his place or whatever?).

there are a lot of things (gossip) about jikook and all members of bts, like any other celebs but tbh i made peace with not ever really knowing for sure. when liam payne died and it came out he lied about having kidney issues to cover up going to rehab, for some reason that really stuck with me (in addition to him hiring 2 sex workers before he died...) like we don't know celebs lol i will say with bts, i don't think they do stuff in secret that will disappoint us or be scandalous. but i can see jikook dating each other and them also not dating each other, i guess when we get confirmation of either we still won't know any details. so to me it doesn't make that much of a difference what i think about this all lol.

Chapter 8

Seoul, South Korea

2024

The KB Kookmin Bank stands quiet and unyielding, its towering glass and steel walls gleaming under the streetlights, reflecting faint halos against the night sky. A chill settles over the empty street, and the bank's locked doors seem to exude a foreboding stillness, waiting to be broken. Y/N, Jimin, and Minjeong remain huddled in the shadows near the entrance, eyes focused, every muscle taut with anticipation. This silence feels heavier than anything they've faced before, a reminder that tonight is more than just a heist.

A soft crackle from their earpieces cuts through the quiet. Aeri's voice, steady and controlled, fills their ears from the safety of the van parked nearby. "Listen up. Minjeong, I know you've tested this new suppressor model, but stay alert for any drag. It'll reduce recoil by 20%, but it's prone to jamming if you don't manage the rapid fire. This place is old. Sound will carry if you're not careful."

Minjeong adjusts the grip on her weapon, fingers tightening as she absorbs the information. The night air sharpens around her, amplifying every subtle shift and movement. She takes a slow, controlled breath, exhaling to calm the tension already coiling in her chest. "Understood," she replies softly, the words clipped and efficient. But her gaze shifts momentarily to Y/N, searching her face for something unreadable. Y/N, sensing the weight behind Minjeong's look, feels the familiar churn of questions bubbling up, but she pushes them aside for now. There's no room for doubt, not tonight.

Jimin, her stance exuding a quiet command, taps the earpiece. "Aeri, run us through the map. I want every detail," she says, her tone edged with a precise calm that only seems to settle deeper when the stakes are high.

"Got it," Aeri's voice replies. "Y/N, you'll head for the main hall—no crowd tonight, but there's a single security guard making rounds on a fixed timer. He'll pass every six minutes, so timing is everything. Jimin, you and Minjeong will cover all angles and keep watch on the exits. I'll be adjusting your routes if anything changes, but remember: we have about four minutes on the inner security when you get close to the vault." There's a pause, a hum of static, and then Yizhuo's voice filters through, clear and confident.

"Once you're inside, I'll start the system loop. Cameras, alarms, pressure sensors—I've got them covered, but stick to the plan. Too many deviations, and we'll trip something I can't control." Her voice is cool, calm, and Y/N imagines Yizhuo's fingers flying over the keyboard back in the van, her focus absolute.

Back at the warehouse, Irene's calm voice joins the line. "Good. You know what to do. Keep your heads clear, and stay sharp. Jimin, Y/N, Minjeong—you're leading this. Watch each other's backs." Her tone is steady, carrying the weight of someone who has run a hundred scenarios in her mind, each with its own level of risk. Y/N almost feels Irene's presence with them, like an unseen protector, guiding them through.

Minjeong's gaze sharpens as Irene speaks, and Y/N catches a brief glimpse of the cold determination in her friend's eyes. There's something different about her tonight, an edge that feels sharper, more severe. Jimin notices too, a flicker of concern crossing her face, but she says nothing. This is not the time to question motives. Not here, under the bright lights and quiet darkness that hold their secrets.

"Alright, team," Jimin finally says, her voice slipping into the role she knows so well. "We've done this before. We know the risks." She looks at Y/N and Minjeong, her eyes locking onto each of them with a strength that feels unbreakable. "Let's make this count."

In the faint glow of the streetlight, Y/N gives her a nod, feeling the reassuring weight of Jimin's confidence. Their connection is instinctual, a shared understanding that's built over years of fights, triumphs, and quiet moments. But tonight, as she looks from Jimin to Minjeong, Y/N can sense the crackling tension simmering beneath the surface, something unnamed yet palpable. She steels herself, knowing they'll have to confront it sooner or later. For now, they have a job to do.

"Let's go," she murmurs, her voice barely above a whisper as she takes a step forward, drawing them closer to the entrance, ready to breach the silent behemoth before them.

The moment Y/N pushes the heavy glass door, a soft click echoes through the air, and the bank's interior unfolds like a shadowy labyrinth before them. Jimin's heart races, the adrenaline flooding her veins as they slip inside, the faint smell of polished wood and old paper lingering in the air. Dim emergency lights flicker overhead, casting a ghostly glow that dances across the marble floor.

"Stay low," Jimin whispers, her voice barely audible. They move in unison, instinctively falling into the formation they've perfected over countless missions. Y/N leads the way, her senses heightened, every sound magnified in the stillness. She glances back at Minjeong, whose grip tightens around her weapon, ready for anything.

The main hall is sprawling and empty, filled with rows of desks draped in silence. Y/N's eyes dart toward the far end, where the security desk stands sentinel—dimmed screens flashing soft blue, the blinking lights a stark contrast to the darkness. She mentally notes the lone guard pacing behind the glass enclosure, oblivious to the storm brewing just outside.

Aeri's voice crackles through their earpieces, her tone urgent but calm. "You're clear for now, but he'll be making his rounds soon. Move to the right corridor and keep your pace steady. You've got about four minutes before he checks in."

"Got it," Jimin replies, glancing at Y/N, who nods. "Let's go."

As they skirt around the edge of the room, Y/N feels the weight of Jimin's gaze on her, a silent question lingering in the air. There's something unspoken between them, a flicker of doubt and determination, but now isn't the time to address it. They're here to focus, to execute their mission.

With quick, calculated steps, they navigate through the bank's labyrinthine structure, moving down a narrow hallway lined with doors, each one concealing potential threats. Minjeong remains close behind, her body tense and ready, scanning the area with keen eyes. The flicker of the emergency lights reflects in her darkened gaze, illuminating the fierce resolve etched across her face.

"Y/N," Aeri's voice breaks through again, pulling her focus back to the task. "Head down the hallway. The vault is behind the last door on the left. I'll handle the alarm system, but you need to disable the locks first. Get ready; the guard will turn back in two."

Y/N swallows, her heart pounding. "We'll be quick," she replies, determination threading through her voice as they reach the door.

"On three," Jimin whispers, her eyes fixed on the path ahead. "One... Two... Three!"

With synchronized precision, they burst through the door, slipping inside just as the guard's footsteps echo through the hall. The room is dimly lit, filled with rows of filing cabinets and the heavy scent of musty paper. Y/N hurries to the electronic lock on the vault, her hands deftly working through the mechanics.

Minjeong stands watch by the door, eyes darting nervously. "We don't have long," she murmurs, glancing back to Jimin, who's keeping an ear out for the guard's approach. The tension is thick, and Y/N feels it coiling around her as she types in the override code.

"Come on, come on..." Y/N mutters under her breath, fingers racing against the sleek keyboard. The digital numbers flicker ominously, and her breath hitches as the system begins to respond. The familiar whir of the locking mechanism brings a rush of relief, but it's short-lived.

Suddenly, the soft beep of the lock sounds, and the heavy vault door creaks open, revealing a treasure trove of shimmering gold and stacks of cash. "Got it!" Y/N exclaims, exhilaration surging through her.

"Move! Get what you can!" Jimin commands, stepping forward as Minjeong positions herself at the door, a silent sentinel on high alert.

Y/N swiftly begins filling the bag, her hands moving as fast as her heart is racing. She snatches handfuls of cash, stuffing it into the pack as Jimin starts scanning the room, her sharp eyes flicking from the stacks of cash to the various safety deposit boxes.

"Keep an eye on the entrance!" Jimin calls out, urgency lacing her words. "We need to move before he comes back!"

Minjeong nods, her grip on her weapon unwavering as she peers down the hallway, straining to catch any sign of the approaching guard. "He's still at the desk," she reports, but her voice quivers slightly, a telltale sign of her nerves.

The moments feel like hours, each second stretched thin by the weight of the silence surrounding them. Y/N can feel the electric tension humming in the air, her instincts screaming for caution. She fills the last bag with cash and glances at Jimin. "I've got it all. What now?"

"Let's get out of here before—"

A sudden voice echoes through the corridor, sharp and clear, cutting through the charged atmosphere. "Hey! Who's there?" The guard's shout reverberates against the walls, sending a wave of panic through them.

"Shit!" Jimin snaps, grabbing Y/N's arm. "We need to go. Now!"

They bolt toward the exit, adrenaline coursing through their veins as they push through the door, Minjeong falling in step behind them. The three of them sprint down the hallway, the sound of footsteps echoing behind them like a countdown.

"Yizhuo, we need you!" Jimin shouts, voice strained with urgency.

"On it! Looping the cameras now!" Yizhuo's calm tone filters through the chaos, grounding them even as their hearts race.

"Irene! What the fuck is happening?" Minjeong panics, begging for their leader to answer.

Y/N glances back, catching a glimpse of the guard moving swiftly toward them, his flashlight cutting through the darkness like a searchlight.

"Stay calm!" Irene's voice crackles through their earpieces, laced with urgency. "I'm rerouting the security feeds, but you have to hold your position. I'm working on it!"

"C'mon, there has to be another way out!" Jimin exclaims, scanning the room for an alternative escape route.

"Minjeong, cover us!" Jimin orders, pushing Y/N toward the vault door, hoping it might provide some cover.

The sound of the guard's footsteps is thunderous, echoing through the narrow hall. Y/N's heart races as she and Jimin scramble toward the vault, desperate to find some way to conceal themselves.

"Y/N!" Jimin calls, panic seeping into her voice as they reach the vault door.

"Just hold on!" Y/N shouts back, but she can feel the walls closing in around them as the guard's shadow looms closer, the reality of their situation crashing down like a tidal wave.

"Get ready!" Irene's voice comes through again, more frantic now. "I can disable the cameras, but I need you to hold out until then. I'm rerouting the system, but you'll have to buy some time!"

"Now!" Jimin commands, pulling Y/N and Minjeong toward the vault door as the guard rounds the corner, his flashlight beam slicing through the dark.

With desperation fueling her actions, Y/N pushes against the heavy door, her heart pounding in her ears. The sound of the guard's voice grows louder, the urgency and danger palpable in the air.

"Y/N!" Jimin calls, breathless as they scramble for cover.

"Just hold on!" Y/N shouts back, but she can feel the walls closing in around them as the guard's shadow looms closer, the reality of their situation crashing down like a tidal wave.

"Just a little longer!" Irene's voice crackles, her fear for her team evident. "Stay strong! You can do this!"

The words resonate through Y/N, fueling her resolve even as panic tightens its grip around them. They're trapped, and the guard is right behind them.

Busan, South Korea

2021

The air hangs heavy with unspoken words as the five girls stand at the edge of their past, the warehouse filled with echoes of laughter now shrouded in silence. They had come together as a team, bound by trust and friendship, but now, everything felt fractured, like a glass sculpture shattered into irreparable pieces.

Aeri and Yizhuo exchange a fleeting glance, the weight of the moment pressing down on them. "We'll figure this out," Aeri says softly, her voice barely above a whisper, yet carrying the gravity of their shared experiences. They step outside into the cool night, the distant sounds of the city muffled by the weight of their emotions.

"We can't keep this up," Yizhuo replies, shaking her head. "Everything fell apart so fast." She takes a deep breath, glancing back at the warehouse as if trying to catch one last glimpse of what used to be their safe haven. "We need to look after ourselves now. It's all we have left."

As they walk away, their footsteps echo in the empty street, a haunting reminder of what they're leaving behind. The silence between them is thick, filled with uncertainty and the lingering shadow of betrayal that had seeped into their camaraderie.

Meanwhile, Jimin stands with Y/N a few feet away, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, bruises still visible on her skin—a physical manifestation of the emotional scars they all carry. "I can't believe it's come to this," Jimin mutters, anger and sorrow battling within her.

Y/N steps closer, her presence a comforting anchor. "We'll find a way back. We can't let this be the end."

Jimin's eyes flash with defiance, but the hurt is evident beneath her hardened exterior. "It feels like it is," she replies, her voice trembling. "Everything's different now. I don't even know who to trust anymore."

They stand in silence, the weight of their shared experiences wrapping around them like a suffocating blanket.

Then, from behind, Minjeong lingers, a silent observer hidden in the shadows. Her eyes narrow as she watches the two girls. A bitter taste fills her mouth, and the unresolved feelings swirl inside her, festering like an untreated wound. She feels the sharp sting of betrayal, a sense of longing for the bonds that once felt unbreakable.

"Minjeong, are you coming?" Jimin calls out, glancing over her shoulder.

Minjeong flinches at the sound of her name, her heart racing. "I'll be fine," she replies, her voice laced with bitterness. "You two go ahead. I need a moment."

Jimin exchanges a worried glance with Y/N before turning to leave. "Don't take too long. We're a team, remember?" Her voice carries a tinge of desperation, but Minjeong can only nod, feeling the sting of their departing footsteps.

As Jimin and Y/N walk away, the connection between them feels both comforting and painful, and Minjeong feels the isolation creeping in once more. She watches their figures fade into the night, the anger and sadness churning inside her like a storm.

Before they fully depart, Irene steps out of the warehouse, her expression serious yet tinged with sadness. "Girls," she calls out, her voice firm. "Take your burner phones with you. You never know when you might need to reach out again."

Each girl takes her phone, the small device feeling like a lifeline and a reminder of their fractured bonds. "I trust you to keep them safe," Irene continues, her gaze lingering on each of them. "No matter what happens, remember that we're still a team at heart."

With those words hanging in the air, the girls turn to leave, each stepping into their own darkness, unaware of the path that lies ahead.

As they part ways, Aeri and Yizhuo share one last look filled with unspoken promises, Jimin and Y/N walk side by side, the warmth of their connection a fragile thread, while Minjeong remains cloaked in shadows, a bittersweet reminder of what once was.

WHEREVER YOU GO THATS WHERE ILL FOLLOW!!!! and they did it!!!

they will always be together even if the world is ending and all they can do is hug and smile to each other while dying.
