Prologue

Panic Button

 It was just a precaution, that's what they said. A last resort if a time came where everything went to hell.

They gave a panic button to three different members. They didn't tell who, and the three in the possession of one didn't know who else had one.

The logic behind it was simple: aliases for us were being created all over the world. Tiny, insignificant, normal lives. Should something horrible happen and our lives were on the line, a member with a panic button could press it. If all three panic buttons were pressed, the plan would go into effect. We would each be taken to our aliases and become the alias until whatever had happened had blown over.

We would disappear.

When they told us about all this, we were a bit creeped out. But we didn't stress about it, after all, what could possibly happen that would be so bad all three buttons were pressed?

That thought remained until the award ceremony.

No words could describe our excitement for the event. I mean, think of it: a K-Pop group being in an international music awards ceremony with creators from other genres. Incredible. When it was announced to us we would be in it, we were psyched. We practically fell into a heap of excited bodies, and were calm until one particular member started crying, which of course ended with us all being a sobbing mess.

Long story short, we were on top of the world.

On the day of the event, we were all getting ready, the stylists and makeup artists getting annoyed with our constant need to get up and check on the other members, just to check that this is really happening.

When we entered the huge auditorium, we were immediately met with the excited cries of what would eventually be our demise: A.R.M.Y.

They were everywhere in the room, yelling their support and compliments. Laughing and blushing, we took our seats and the cries quieted as more celebrities took their seats and the event began.

Various awards were given to many differ

Chapter 28: i usually do not comment on any story, for whatever reason, but i find myself compelled to do so on yours.
it is one of the most original fanfics i've encountered and the only that delved into the psychological being of BTS without making it all about the over-romaticized mental illnesses which suddenly get cured by an OC or by love in general.
thank you for sharing your thoughts (also, i love The Brothers Karamazov, i can't believe someone else has read that).

Chapter 28: I finished this story in one go. It is such a hauntingly beautiful and sad story, where I would read certain lines and my heart would drop. Having been such a long term fan of the boys, it really made my heart ache to read this story and envision it as if it were happening to the boys in real time. This was a highly unique concept. I am so glad Eden recommended this story for me to read. Great work, keep it up.

Chapter 28: This story is honestly so gut wrenching, tear jerking, ugly sob inducing, amazing. Your style of writing is beautiful and the emotions are just squeezed out of you whether you want them to or not. I love the concept of being left to interpret what you wish, but I haven't read anything that portrays the idea as good as your story. I just... ughh thank you so much for sharing this story. It was enjoyable until the end and one of the most fluid reads I've had in a while.

Chapter 27: I read this again after 7 months and yet again I cried. But this time I cried even harder than the last time. Like, seriously, author-nim, why??? I never cry but here I am crying my eyes out.

Chapter 28: It reminds me of how fame changes people. They drift apart from each other, some go crazy, some try to live the life they did before, but they can't, because fame changed them. It just randomly popped up in my head please ignore me XD
