Over the course of the day, Chou was shown around the block more by Jungkook, which wasn't much of a walk.

Most of the people in the block were only allowed in the cells and the open area. A few others- Jimin, Hopi, and occasionally V and Namjoon were allowed into a locked adjacent room to the side for something that at first took Chou by surprise- electroshock therapy.

"Relax, butterfly," Jungkook told her. "They do it the correct way. This isn't some asylum like in the movies."

Chou stepped back, away from him. "What did you just call me? And yes, I understand that. But still..." she looked up at the cameras watching them. "Where are the doctors?"

Jungkook laughed darkly. "I think you misunderstand." When Chou looked at him, confused, he explained, becoming more and more angry as he spoke. "You see, the word 'Hospital' after 'Psychiatric' in the name 'BTS Psychiatric Hospital for the Criminally Insane' is there just for show. You know the parts that really matter? The words 'Criminally Insane'. Because sure, they can lock us murderous loonies together and stuff us full of antipsychotics, but you know what that 'Insane' part means, butterfly? It means they can do whatever the hell they want to us and we can't do a damn thing about it, because who is gonna believe a psycho about treatment? And who cares enough to even ask?"

He began pacing back and forth, raking his hair with his hand. "You know inmates in normal prisons have rights? They get to go outside and talk to relatives on the phone and are able to walk around and are promised to be let out in a few years if they're good little boys and girls. Do you want to know what we get, Chou? We get igno

Chapter 21: Oh wow! That was such an impressive story with so many twists! Especially the ending got me like wow because I definitely didn't see that coming. It was the best kind of creepy and all of their crimes and disorders were so well-thought and connected to their MV theories, I really loved that! I read your story in one-sitting because I was just too curious to read until the very end. I totally loved that you used the butterfly symbols in such different ways like on the wall in the institute, when Chou was waking up from her coma and even her name meant butterfly. It was really good.
I would like to thank you for raising awareness for mental illnesses, as one who's struggling with one, I'm always happy when someone doesn't romanticise them. Thank you so much for sharing this story with us! It was an outstanding read. <3

Chapter 21: Damnnn, I remember subscribing to this a while ago and i finally found some time to read it all in one go! It's actually really good! At first I was a bit doubtful about how you portrayed some of the mental illnesses, but im glad i stuck through it because this has been one hell of a ride! Btw, As jungkook was recounting of everyone's crimes, i was like 'this sounds familiar' and realised you were inspired by one of their mvs hahaha (as you can see i havent kept up with bts for a while), but anyway, back to the story.
It's really sad how these 'patients' were treated; i loved how every chapter was short but there was a lot of content, which, in my opinion, is so much better than a really long chapter where nothing is happening lol. The story is quite simple, but you've really managed to pull the emotions of your readers in the right places like omg, especially near the end.
One thing i didn't really like, is the alternate ending (it is an alternate ending, right?) because it's basically telling me that everything was just a dream, so it feels like my emotions were toyed with for nothing. Although it was a plot twist, i think im going to pretend that the story ended on its first epilogue; im not by any means the person who loves sad endings, but felt it was the most appropriate compared to the second. BUT, i did appreciate about the awareness for mental illness you were trying to portray; it did hit home a little, but thats another story to tell haha. It's been a while since ive read something angsty so im just a bit of a wreck right now; this angst is too overehelming for me to handle! Haha

Chapter 21: AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH STOP KILLING ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN
IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO KILL SOMEONE THIS MANY TIMES WITH WORDS????????
ahhhhhhhhhh I have no more energy left to do anything

Ok but seriously that was such a plot twist, where did that even come from? I'm trying to think of how you're thinking all this up in that brain of yours but at the same time Chou's brain is doing all that crazy "you won't understand what I truly am now but when you do and I tell you what I am, you'll feel rather stupid because your brain can't do this" thingamajig with the BTS members in her head and then the coma thing and how she was in a car accident which was also linked to Tae's incident AND JUST EVERYTHING IN GENERAL.

SERIOUSLY MIND IS EXPLODING INTO MILLIONS OF TINY USELESS THINGS RIGHT NOW

I am so done with you and your writing and this story and myself but I can't even pull myself away because IT'S TOO DAMN GOOD

I AM BINGING ON ALL YOUR STORIES NOW AND NO ONE WILL STOP ME
