……

On October 10th, they appeared on the headlines of various pages in a different form.

[BTS has completed a seven-year contract extension with Big Hit. 】

This decision has been discussed with the company since they returned from Malta.

In fact, this process is far from being as simple as the news depicts. Their contract period actually expires in one year. This method of contract renewal one year in advance is usually applicable to the top professional sports stars. It can be seen that the company the importance attached to them.

Outsiders may not know it, but in fact, this year, the eight of them have indeed considered disbanding.

It is hard to say the specific reasons, and to be precise, it is not because of some specific reasons.

From accepting Her in September 17 to transitioning to tear in May this year, although it was a full half a year of blank period, everyone has indeed experienced a very hard time physically and mentally.

Various awards ceremonies at home and abroad, various schedules and work, moving, and preparing for the production of the next album...

Dreams as bright as diamonds allow them to fly higher and higher. If a person has the opportunity to stand at such a height in his life, how much hard work is needed and how much luck is added.

But just like a paragraph in their February issue of the magazine said: "I thought it was always happy to be above the clouds, but when I look down, I sometimes feel scared."

afraid of what?

Fear of falling, fear of being alone, fear of being let down, fear of gaining and then losing.

Because you are walking a road that no one has ever walked, you can only rely on yourself, and you can only believe in yourself.

At the beginning of the year, they took advantage of their vacation and went on a private trip for a few days. In fact, they went there with the feeling of "even if we want to separate, we don't regret it".

Jiang Tianci even just came back from China the day before, and after squatting on the plane for a few hours, he immediately went straight to his brothers' hotel.

On the last day of the trip, everyone got together to drink, and when they were drunk, they hugged and cried and laughed. People hugged each other, and tears were mixed together.

Min Yunqi played them the demo he made in the studio a few days ago, and he sang in a slightly hoarse voice: "Although we are walking in the same direction, this place will be our last, it was the place where we talked about forever." We smashed each other mercilessly."

After Jiang Tianci came back from Malta, Fang Shihe called him to have a private conversation.

In fact, sometimes he feels that a person's life is quite short, and it seems that the end can be seen at a glance.

When he was an ordinary student before, his life arrangement was probably to spend his student days in peace and stability, and then he would go to a university not far from home, find a decent job in the local city after graduation, fall in love and get married, Live a step-by-step life like thousands of ordinary people.

After debuting, when the group was not very popular, he also felt that there was no big difference from before.He said that he wanted to be a long-term combination, but in fact, he was worried about whether he and the members could survive the legendary "idol group's seven-year itch".

If they didn't survive, then they should be popular at least once in the past seven years, so that they won't have regrets when they disband.

But now, he can't see through his future.

They made their debut, they won the Rookie Award, they won the first song show, they won the grand prize at the year-end awards ceremony, they went to the BBMA, they performed at the American Music Awards, and their concert this year was held at the Jamsil Olympic Arena...

All of this has far surpassed the glory they once dreamed of. It seems that even they themselves can't predict where they can go next.

Where else can I go?Jiang Tianci was also curious.

Obviously he is the Chinese member who should be most worried about whether to stay or not, but he was the first of the eight people, and he sat at the table that day and made a solemn promise to Fang Shihyuk.

"I will renew the contract, please rest assured PD."

----------

On the afternoon when it was decided to renew the contract, Tian Zhenguo accompanied Jiang Tianci to a pet shop near the community.

Jiang Tianci finally decided to raise a cat.

He pasted the photo of being slapped by a cat in the cat cafe on the wall of the room, and he looked at it every day, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, so after careful consideration, he still couldn't hold back his eagerness to move.

The clerk in the pet shop seemed to be a fan, and they were recognized as soon as they entered.

It could be seen that the clerk was really happy. When he turned to help Jiang Tianci get the cat food, his steps were brisk.

Jiang Tianci finally chose a golden gradation puppet cat, a small one, very clingy, after he picked it up and put it down, it lay down on the ground, eyes following him all the time.

It really melted Jiang Tianci's heart. After walking a few steps, he turned back and quickly picked him up. The rest of the cats were not going to look at him, so he immediately decided: "This is the one."

The clerk covered his mouth and smiled: "Then will it be called Zhuangzhuang?"

Jiang Tianci looked at her with wide eyes: "How do you know?!"

Clerk: "But it's a female cat."

Gee.

Jiang Tianci hesitated. If it was a girl, wouldn't it be good to have such a name?

Tian Zhenguo came up with an idea from the side: "Then let's decide on the nickname first, and we can think about the big name later."

Jiang Tianci nodded immediately after hearing this: "That's right, that's a nickname. I haven't decided on a big name yet."

Then they took Zhuang Zhuang (emphasized at Jiang's request: this is just a nickname) to choose a cat bag for going out, and bought some other messy supplies.

When going out with the cat in his arms, Tian Zhenguo patted his chest and assured Jiang Tianci: "Don't worry, when you are not in Korea, I will be Zhuang Zhuang's real father, and I will definitely take good care of it!"

As a result, after saying this, when he returned to the dormitory and sat on the sofa to tape up his black pants covered in cat hair, the expression on his face was hard to describe.

Jiang Zhuangzhuang (Jiang once again emphasized that this is a temporary nickname, although he still hasn't figured out his big name half a year later) is surprisingly sticky Jiang Tianci, always leaning on him, and he is still very tight after lying in someone's arms. She comfortably turned her belly over and acted like a baby.

There was a new member in the family, Jin Tan excitedly rushed over with an unknown slipper in his mouth, circled around Jiang Tianci's feet, and was finally taken away by Park Jimin who came out wearing a slipper up.

As a result, after a while, it sneaked over again. At that time, Jiang Zhuangzhuang was nestling on the sofa, and it almost jumped at him and bit his tail.

Jiang Tianci happened to see this scene after he came out of the bathroom after washing the cat food bowl, and hurriedly yelled to blast Jin Tan away, and then began to call Jin Taehyung all over the room, asking him to take care of his children.

As a result, Jin Taehyung was not in the dormitory, Jiang Tianci called him, he said he was outside, and asked Jiang Tianci if he wanted to eat, and he just took it back later.

Jiang Tianci thought about it, ordered a few snacks, and completely forgot about Jin Tan, and sweetly said goodbye to Kim Taehyung: "Wait for you to come back, brother~"

In November, their entire company moved to Daechi-dong, Seoul, and the number of BTS management teams expanded from more than 100 to [-].

A new seven-year contract was renewed, and a new company was moved into the team. Fresh blood was injected into the team, as if starting a brand new journey.

In December, they finished their performance in Taiwan, and there was a rear-end accident on the way back to the dormitory.Fortunately, it was not serious, and no one was injured except Jiang Tianci, who was sitting in the last row, couldn't sit still and knocked his head on the back of the chair in front of him, resulting in a red spot on his forehead.

Back at the dormitory at night, Min Yunqi put ice cubes on his face, Jiang Tianci screamed from the cold, and wanted to run away, but Zheng Haoxi's shoulders were firmly held by Zheng Haoxi, and he couldn't move at all, so he had to Sit obediently and let Min Yunqi finish it for him.

In the end, when the ice pack was taken off, his forehead turned even redder because it was frozen. His brothers all ran over to watch, mocking wantonly while pointing their mobile phone at his loveless face and "clicking" ten times. continuous shooting.

Jiang Tianci: ...you really bother me.

At the MAMA Awards Ceremony at the end of the year, they won the Singer of the Year Award. As a result, everyone cried miserably on stage, and even burst into tears halfway through their acceptance speech.

The audience in the audience was also surprised: Didn't they win the grand prize once or twice?Why are you crying like this?

Only they who stood huddled together on the stage knew that it was really not as easy as imagined to be able to persevere and stand where they are today.

It’s like how Min Yoon Ki jokingly said to a fan who wanted to exchange lives with them a long time ago: “You may not be able to survive a day in the bulletproof life.”

But fortunately, they survived.

On the day when the awards ceremony ended, Tian Zhenguo had a dream after returning to the dormitory.

In his dream, he was still a trainee, running back and forth between the company and the dormitory at two o'clock and one line every day, living the same life as other ordinary trainees.

It’s just that he felt something was wrong. During practice, he frowned in the mirror: it seemed that something was missing.

It wasn't until he saw Park Jimin and Kim Taehyung fighting and coming in after pushing the door open that he realized: Oh, so Jiang Tianci hasn't come yet.

He thought it was less than 12 years now, so he waited and waited in his dream, and waited and waited, checking the summer vacation time of Chinese junior high schools on Never, counting the days with his fingers every day, waiting desperately for his friend to come.

But until all seven of them debuted, Jiang Tianci never showed up.

He went back to the same lonely life as before, eating alone, sleeping alone, stretching his legs alone, and sneaking to the convenience store to buy snacks alone.

It was so lonely. One day when Tian Zhenguo was eating, he suddenly couldn't take it anymore.

When will this dream end?He really didn't want to go on.

Although everything in the dream is very similar to real life, without Jiang Tianci, he would not be happy doing anything.

When he finally woke up sweating profusely, he found himself lying on the bed in the dormitory.

Before he had time to calm down his breathing, Tian Zhenguo ran out of the room barefoot, and then quickly pushed open the door next door.

Jiang Tianci was sitting at the table playing games.

He was wearing a loose thin sweater, with his legs crossed on a large gaming chair, his thin body covered under the clothes, and a neck pillow on his neck—his cervical spine seems to be uncomfortable recently.

The light in the bedroom was only on the floor lamp next to the bed. The light was warm yellow, so the whole bedroom also turned warm yellow.

Tian Zhenguo's heart suddenly calmed down under such a warm yellow light.

Jiang Tianci turned his head after hearing the movement, and turned his head back when he saw that it was him, and asked casually, "Why?"

He dragged his body weakly and walked in, and fell down on Jiang Tianci's bed with a "snap".

"I just had a nightmare."

"Yo? What did you dream that could scare you like this?"

Jiang Tianci teased him while staring at the screen intently.

Tian Zhenguo stared at the ceiling in a daze, the picture in the dream turned out to be very real even now when he remembered it, so real that he didn't even dare to say it out, so he had to make up nonsense in the end: "I dreamed that you died."

Jiang Tianci was so angry that he pulled out a pillow from behind and hit him: "You cursed me!"

Tian Zhengguo caught the pillow with a playful smile, flattering him: "So I'm just here to see you."

Jiang Tianci turned his chair around and faced him: "Have you finished reading? I'm fine!"

Tian Zhenguo nodded again and again: "Yes, hello, you are very nice."

……

Jiang Tianci turned around and continued playing the game. When he finished playing a game and looked back, he found that Tian Zhenguo was still lying there staring at the ceiling in a daze, without even changing his posture.

He walked over and lay down with him: "Are you insomnia?"

Tian Zhenguo said: "No, I was just thinking about something."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Tianci asked him.

But he didn't answer right away, his eyes were still staring at the ceiling, as if he could see the answer by looking at it.

After a long time, he finally blinked his eyes and turned to look at Jiang Tianci.

"You know, we, for a lifetime."

Jiang Tianci:?

He didn't understand, and looked at Tian Zhenguo with a "what do you mean" expression.

As a result, Tian Zhengguo became anxious: "Speak, why don't you speak?"

Jiang Tianci: "What did I say?"

Tian Zhenguo: "Forever? Don't you want to live forever?"

Jiang Tianci: "..."

Jiang Tianci: "Why are you talking so nonchalantly?"

Tian Zhenguo went to grab his hand: "Speak, please answer me directly!"

Jiang Tianci was helpless: "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

Tian Zhenguo stood up and looked at him: "Why do you keep changing the subject?"

Jiang Tianci closed his eyes, not going to pay attention to this crazy person who suddenly ran over in the middle of the night.

As a result, Tian Zhenguo didn't give up until he got an answer, and grabbed his ears and started calling him serially.

"Jiang Tianci, Jiang Tianci, Jiang Tianci, Jiang Tianci, Jiang Tianci..."

Jiang Tianci finally couldn't take it anymore, covered his ears and replied, "Forever, forever! Let's go!"

Tian Zhenguo finally closed his eyes contentedly.

He knew it, he knew it wasn't over, it wasn't over, they were running around the stage, surrounded by cheers.

The lights on the stage are so hot, just like their hot lives.

--------

"I thought it was always happy to be above the clouds, but when I look down, I sometimes feel scared."

In fact, there is still the second half of this sentence that has not been finished.

Although being above the clouds can be scary at times, but—

"Because we fly together, we gain courage

We're not afraid of falling, we're not afraid of landing

Thank you for always being with me

Always grateful and love you all. "

This is the second half.

Finish.
