A sea of school uniforms pour out a nearby high school and litter the streets of Seoul. The sound of laughter and cellphones ringing penetrate through the deep seeded focus planted by Rap Monster from up above. His body trembles lightly while his red converse teeter on the ledge of the rooftop. His eyes focused on a sheet of paper in his hands, he ignores the commotion from down below.            His eyes scan the sheet from top to bottom. He observes the letter grade which reads "A+" on the top right hand corner of the test paper. Fingertips glide across and mirror each other from opposite ends just before he pulls them apart splitting it in half. The repeated action breaks apart the paper into several tiny pieces which lay dormant in his clutched fists.           A light sigh escapes his body while his head raises upward to face the brightly lit sky. He raises his hands and then opens them allowing the oncoming gust of wind to blow the several tiny pieces of paper out of his hands and all around as if they were snowflakes descending down onto those beneath his feet. The students begin to curiously look around until their sights fall on him up above on the ledge of the roof.            Rap Monster: "Stop!"               Hearing the sound of his own voice, he gradually begins to turn in order to face the direction to which it stemmed from. His eyes widen greatly at the sight of himself, the way he looks currently in the present day. Startled by the mere sight of himself, he jerks back slightly, which causes him to teeter once again on the ledge, his arms flailing as he attempts to regain his composure.               Rushing forth, the present day RapMon reaches out, grabbing a hold of his much younger self, and yanking him from his dangerous position, teetering on the ledge. The two now standing face to face, atop the schools rooftop.   Runch Randa: "Yah! -- what's wrong with you?!"                He pulls away, stepping back slightly in order to gain some distance in between the two.    Rap Monster: "Saving you... Saving... Me..."                     He says, unsure of exactly what it is that is going on.   Runch Randa: "I don't need to be saved -- I know what I'm doing... He needs me..."   Rap Monster: "w-who does?"                  He watches as the younger version of himself turns once again, returning to his awkward position atop the roofs ledge. The smile on his face prompts RapMon to step forth, bringing his own body closer to the ledge. Staring downward, he can only see the empty streets.   Rap Monster: "No ones there..."   Runch Randa: "he's right there!"                Hesitantly he raises his foot, stepping upon the roofs ledge, one step at a time, bringing him to stand directly beside his much younger self. His head gradually begins to lower and a light gasp escapes him as the sight of Iron flagging him down from below is now all that he can see.  Though still unsure of the happenings which seem to be going on, the sight of Iron instantly causes a smile to form across his face.    Runch Randa: "You see him now -- don't you?"                 He exclaims upon taking notice of the smile on RapMons face.    Rap Monster: "y-yeah... I do..."              The sight of Iron as he looks presently causes his smile to soon fade, only to be replaced with a cocked brow before he turns to face his much younger self, who's head has yet to raise from its hung position. His eyes locked steadily on Iron.    Runch Randa: "You ready?"   Rap Monster: "For what?"   Runch Randa: "To jump... He'll catch us -- I'm sure of it."                 RapMon continues to stare at the boy beside him, his naive demeanor making him almost unrecognizable.   Runch Randa: "You'll jump if I jump -- right?"   Rap Monster: "N-N-No!"             He exclaims, startling the younger version of himself.   Rap Monster: "If he really wants us... -- if he really wants us to go to him -- He will be there when we go downstairs. C'mon -- lets just get down from here."                He steps back cautiously, extending his hand outward to the boy as his own feet plant themselves flat upon the rooftop.    Rap Monster: "C'mon... Take my hand..."   Runch Randa: "I can't see him from down there."                 He says shakily, without turning back to face him.    Rap Monster: "You will -- I promise."   Runch Randa: "So, you won't jump with me?"   Rap Monster: "...no -- jumping would be... Crazy. Now get down here. We'll go down together."   Runch Randa: "you're just scared -- just watch... I'll go first."   Rap Monster: "don't! -- please...""   Runch Randa: "why not? -- why won't you jump with me?"   Rap Monster: "because it would be dumb of me to make the same mistake twice!"               Upon speaking, his hand gradually lowers, and he allows those words to sink in. His head lowers slightly.    Runch Randa: "Aish~ stop being scared."             His head begins to raise.   Rap Monster: "Fine! -- You're right! I'm scared! -- I'm terrified of him not being there!"                He watches the young boy smile in his direction before turning back to face forward. The boy falls forward purposely, slipping from RapMons fingers as he reaches out in an attempt to grab a hold of him. RapMon screams, while gripping onto the ledge and watching as his younger self falls faster and faster, practically cutting through the air. As he draws closer to the ground, RapMon, awakens from his dream like state just before his much younger self can come in contact with the ground.                Drenched in a cold sweat, he sits up in bed, whilst releasing a heavy gasp from the pit of his stomach. Surrounded by complete darkness, he reaches for the thin sheet draped over his lower half and tosses it aside. Turning slightly, he swings his legs off of the bed, in order to plant his feet firmly on the ground. Elbows digging into his knee caps, crouched over, he buries his face into his palms. His blonde hair slipping in between the spaces between each of his fingers.    Iron: "Go back to sleep..."             The frustrated tone in his voice  causes RapMon to laugh airily before turning back to face Iron who lays there beside him, facing in the opposite direction.    Rap Monster: "I had a bad dream."                 his teeth, Iron reluctantly rolls over before sitting upright and condescendingly patting the empty space beside him.    Iron: "come -- come -- tell me all about it."               The mocking tone which lingers throughout his speech causes RapMon to scoff, before turning back and bringing himself to sit alongside Iron, both of their backs now pressed against the headboard.   Rap Monster: "Don't pretend to care."                Iron grins whilst scooting over, bringing himself closer to RapMon.   Rap Monster: "heh... You're a jerk for not even trying to deny it."   Iron: "I am who I am -- what can I say?"   Rap Monster: "I hate you so~ much."               Iron pounces, startled by his sudden movement, RapMon lowers, laying flat on his back. His arms stretch outward in an attempt to keep Iron from laying the weight of his body on top of his own. Iron smirks whilst being held up by RapMon, who's hands rest against Irons bare chest.    Iron: "Then why have you been here all week eh? -- I bet the members don't even remember what you look like. They probably think you went and moved in with me."   Rap Monster: "Aish! -- don't make me feel guiltier than I already do."                  Iron changes position, seating himself atop RapMons lower half. He leans forth and allow himself to continue being held up by RapMons hands. Irons eyes shift from RapMon to the clock at their bedside. A smile creeps across his face before returning his attention back toward RapMon. Reaching outward, Iron grabs a hold of his wrist and forcefully lowers them, pulling them away from his chest and pinning RapMon against the bed.             Not even bothering to put up a fight at this point, RapMon simply watches as Iron lowers himself, pressing their bodies against one another. With his lips touching against RapMons ear, Iron proceeds to whisper.    Iron: "It's 3:45am..."   Rap Monster: "So?"   Iron: "That means that it's not the 11th anymore."                   He slowly begins to raise, the two stare into the eyes of one another whilst sharing in dual grins.    Iron: "Happy Birthday -- My Namjoon."                RapMons cheeks radiate beneath the darkness. Iron laughs airily, before proceeding to assault him with a barrage of peck kisses,  causing him to laugh uncontrollably.    Iron: "I think it's time we start celebrating this birthday of yours."   Rap Monster: "I thought you had to be somewhere early?"   Iron: "Then I guess there's no point in me even going to sleep!"            Finally releasing his hold on his wrist, Iron reaches behind him and grabs a hold of the sheets which pay crumpled at the foot of the bed. Grinning devilishly, RapMon shakes his head before reaching upward and placing his two hands on both sides of the back of Irons neck. Whilst pulling him downward, Iron bites down on his bottom lip and throws the sheet upward, allowing it to cascade down gently and cover the two.            Hours pass, and the members back at the dorm have long since begun to get ready for the surprise party of which they've planned for their leader. Upon gathering in the center of the living room, lined up in a row, shoulder to shoulder, they each take in the sight of the sparsely decorated dorm.    Suga: "So can someone tell me what exactly is going on here?"   Jimin: "Uh... CEO Sunbaenim was kind of against us having a party in the practice room so -- "   Suga: "yeah -- I know that -- but... why are we looking at two balloons and a banner that says 'congratulations'?"               Gradually, they all turn to face V, who with a blank face is standing at the end of the line wearing two party hats, which sit on both sides of his head like cone horns.   Suga: "Taehyung!"   V: "huh?"                He jumps slightly.    Suga: "What the -- "                Jin steps forward whilst laughing lightly, his hand raised and covering the mouth of Suga.   Jin: "Taehyung -- what happened to the decorations?"                He asks sweetly.    V: "Ah~ this was all that I liked -- so I just spent the money on party hats."   Jungkook: "all of the Monet?"   V: "Yeah -- I bought a lot of hats."                 Jungkook looks to V who stares right back at him, the two smile lightly at one another.    Jin: "Let's look at the bright side, at least I can cook even more since we'll be staying here. And I can make something good, since I won't need to rush."   V: "that's the spirit hyung! -- and we have enough hats to wear everyday!"   Suga: "Yah!"               Jin covers Suga's mouth once again.   Jimin: "Yoongi hyung -- maybe we can make a quick run and pick up some more decorations before Namjoon hyung gets here."   V: "Hey you guys -- you should try to look for a piñata!"   Suga: "Aish! -- Jimin lets go before I strangle him!"                Jimin laughs airily, whilst walking over toward Suga and grabbing a hold of him. He glares at a blank V who continues to simply smile at the banner which hangs across the dorm. Suga grumbles, as he steps past him, Jimin's nervous laughter can be heard carried right out into the hallway as the two vacate the dorm.    Jin: "Jungkook?"   Jungkook: "huh?"   Jin: "shall we get started?"   Jungkook: "...Sure hyung."                  He follows Jin into the kitchen, leaving behind V and J-Hope who now stand alone in the living room, both still staring at the congratulatory banner.   J-Hope: "So~ what should we say we are congratulating him on?"   V: "I was thinking, maybe --being alive? -- is that not what a birthday really is?"                 He looks to V and nods, a faint smile sprouting.   J-Hope: "One day... Just one day I'd like to see inside that mind of yours."   V: "me too hyung -- me too."               J-Hope laughs lightly which prompts V to turn to him and smile softly.    V: "So what did you two end up buying for Namjoon hyungs birthday gift?"   J-Hope: "It's a surprise -- I just hope that he likes it."   V: "Maybe you should've asked Iron hyung to get the gift -- "   J-Hope: "Uh... No -- this was a gift from us, not from him."   V: "Well, then why not ask Jungkook to get the gift? -- I think he knows Namjoon better than any of us these days."                J-Hope looks to Jungkook who is just standing there in the kitchen aimlessly as Jin proceeds to do all the cooking himself.    J-Hope: "I've known Namjoon way longer -- I'm pretty sure that I know him better."   V: "Nah... I'm pretty sure that he knows him better -- you just know him longer. He even confessed to me that he loves him so..."                 Hearing his words, J-Hope turns sharply to face V, a visible look of shock.   J-Hope: "he -- he told you that he loved him?"   V: "Uh-huh."               Not truly able to comprehend the fact that V was only referring to love as in the sense of admiration, hearing of this confession causes J-Hope to expel a huge sigh of relief.   J-Hope: "Ah~ thank god! -- I was losing my mind keeping this secret. I'm glad he finally confided in someone else."   V: "secret? -- I thought we all knew that Jungkook -- "                 Cutting him off completely, J-Hope continues to speak, having already felt the weight of the secret being lifted from him.    J-Hope: "I had no clue how to handle this whole situation. He's been looking so heartbroken ever since Namjoon and Hunchul began dating again."                 V's eyes open widely upon listening to the words being spoken by his hyung.   J-Hope: "well at least now we can figure this out together, how to take Jungkooks mind off of Namjoon. Ugh... I just knew this was going to happen. I already went through this once when Hunchul broke Namjoon's heart -- I don't want to see Jungkook go to the dark place that Namjoon went to... Hunchul is like a cancer. Ruining the lives of everyone he comes in contact with."                 In complete shock V just nods along, his eyes drying out due to the fact that they are open so widely and have to to close, not even to blink.    J-Hope: "Taehyung? -- what's with you?"                 He laughs airily, swatting him playfully upon his arm as he takes notice of the odd look being displayed by him.   J-Hope: "To really be inside that mind of yours."                 A flicker of a smile forcibly pushes forth in J-Hopes direction, his head gradually turns and his eyes meet with Jungkook who stands in the kitchen beside Jin. The look of sadness on his face causing him to tremble slightly.    Jin: "Kookie?"              He laughs softly, whilst halting in his actions. The large wooden spoon held in his hand, tucked into the large bowl of ingredients held in the other.    Jungkook: "huh?"              Shaking off the blank stare, he turns to Jin with a sliver of a smile plastered across his face.    Jin: "Are you okay? -- I know that cooking might not be the most fun --so you don't have to be here if you don't want to. I'll make sure to tell the others that you helped."   Jungkook: "no-no-no, it's fine. I'd like to learn."   Jin: "Great! -- I love to teach."                A somber smile hangs from the Maknaes face.   Jin: "Jungkook? -- what's the matter? -- you just look so -- so sad."   Jungkook: "Im fine -- I promise."              His eyes begin to water as he speaks. Not wanting to draw any attention to it, Jin hands him the spoon and bowl.   Jin: "Okay -- fine. So let's get to cooking. You just stir this until I say so."   Jungkook: "Okay hyung."            Slowly, V returns his attention to J-Hope, the same look of shock on full display. Feeling slightly uneasy by it, J-Hope proceeds to laugh nervously as he then comes to the conclusion that he might've said more than he should have.    J-Hope: "Look at you! -- I was kidding!"                V shifts his attention back and forth between those in the kitchen and his hyung standing beside him. The cattiness during dinner, Jungkook waiting up for Namjoon that night, the fact that J-Hope was so eager to get rid of Iron before RapMon returned; all of these events springing to mind, and finally clicking inside the mind of V at once.    V: "Oh -- "   J-Hope: "Taehyung -- ""   V: "My -- "   J-Hope: "I-I-I was just kidding!"   V: "GOD!"                The raised volume of his voice beckons the attention of both Jin and Jungkook. J-Hope raises his hand and cups V's mouth, laughing nervously as he does so. Turning to face the two in the kitchen, he signals for them to ignore V with a flick of his hand. They both shrug and return to what they were doing, leaving J-Hope alone to deal with V.    J-Hope: "Taehyung... Listen to me... You cannot repeat what I told you... You just can't!"                 The door to the dorm opens, drawing the attention of both J-Hope and V. His land lowers from its muffling placement and they watch as Jimin, Suga and oddly enough, Iron step into the dorm.    Jimin: "We found more decorations! -- and ran into Iron hyung."               Jin cheers faintly from the inside the kitchen. Holding the door open for Iron to step in completely, Suga looks to the others oddly, cocking a brow whilst shutting it behind him.    Suga: "What's going on in here?"              He says, picking up on an odd tension which fills the air.    J-Hope: "What're you doing here?"               He barks in Irons direction, prompting him to scoff back in J-Hopes direction.     Iron: "Yoongji actually called me last minute to find out if I knew that the party location had been switched. Thank god he did... Because apparently you were suppose to -- but I guess you forgot."   J-Hope: "How forgetful of me..."   V: "Oh -- my -- God!"                Iron covers V's mouth once again.   Jungkook: "Where's Namjoon?"               He questions from the kitchens entrance. Suga's brow remaining raised as he takes in all that is going on.    Iron: "he's back at my place -- I told him that I had a few things to take care of. Did anyone tell him not to go to the studio today?"               They all look to each other.   Iron: "Aish!"               He looks to V and laughs to himself, taking notice of the look of shock still apparent on his face.   Iron: "Wow -- you look even more shocked to see me than you did the first time we saw each other."   Suga: "Oh -- Is that what's wrong with him?"   J-Hope: "Yeah -- he's just so~ starstruck!"                  He says sarcastically.    J-Hope: "C'mon Taehyung -- lets go cool you off."   Suga: "
