Greetings - Fiction Reveals Truths

Hi, Taehyung-ah 🤗🤗🤗 How are you? I hope that things are going well for you. It’s amazing how your guest appearance in Jungkook and Jimin’s “Are You Sure” is giving the show a bang, drawing the crowds again, like what you did to Jinny’s Kitchen before. You’ve been a favorite among the Korean shows, and it’s so good seeing that. Congratulations on making a positive momentum in all areas, be it in music, fashion, branding, and reality shows. I’m really excited to see what you have prepared for us when you come back from your mandatory mlitary enlistment. I’m sure you’ll try starring in a k-drama someday. Will it be an action k-drama, Taehyung-ah? Your SDT training has been making us very excited and I definitely want to see the new cool skills you have gained there. That SDT training ad/video we saw a few months ago just made us want to see more of you. I hope you’re healthy and safe there. I hope your training is not too much for you and the others, that it’s just right and within the boundaries of protecting human rights (and not abusing it, like what violent-prone places do). Choose anything that you like, that promotes your best, your strength, and your “talent” zone. There might not be a word for it, but I think it’s important to grow in the right surrounding where you can perform well. I want to differentiate it from the concept of a comfort zone where people just prepare something well-cooked like what they’ve done in the past or like what others do to guarantee success. If it’s under the fountain of your talent, then you are free to experiment with something new and unique and go beyond it, regardless of whether it’s a success or a failure now. It will surely make an impact later, that is, if it’s not copied and stolen by some hackers-stalkers who will find ways to improve it, and credit success to their names. I think it’s not enough to find what people like, but also, what they need and what can make them captivated. You’ve been doing it so well. I, on the other hand, have attracted the wrong people - like these hackers-stalkers - who have grown their obsession of me and are constantly reacting to me and making sure I hear their “comments” be it in coffee shops, public buses, pathways, grocery, malls, and karaoke sessions instead. I might have unintentionally roused the opposite behavior of what I asked for when I called them out on their gossiping, alluding, and harassment before. I still believe it’s within the space of how I fight and protect myself and others, including my beliefs and wishes, so what I can do is see it till the end and find ways to improve it so that I can bring the change that I want. They’re laughing and saying “Wow” as I type this. Just disgusting, as ever. You seem to have a different fighting style that conforms to the wishes of others. You know it’s bringing you good things, and looking at it with a different perspective, it is indeed working in your favor, too. I don’t think it matters much as we’ll each get what we work hard for. So, keep the positive momentum, Taehyung-ah. Be healthy and happy. I don’t think I can ask you to fight those who mock you, like what I do against these stupid and disgusting hackers-stalkers-neighbors who always make comments on me and call me shameful and crazy in our local language. There should be an end to all of these harassments somewhere, and I am encouraged to see that season is coming. Let’s do what makes us happy and driven. “Fiction reveals truths that reality obscures.” - Jessamyn West. I love you so much, Taehyung-ah. I, and so many of your fans and ARMYs, love you so much. May you never stop believing in that. May you always be assured of our love and support for you and know that when it comes to us, you don’t have to do anything unlike you. May you always find the best in you, or the best way to express your ingenuity in every situation, and be happy and proud. There will always be so many among us who can see how amazing you are each time. I hope you’ll cut the things, people, and situations that make you sad and obscured. Don’t be sorry for being yourself. Always remember you are always loved. Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah. 💖💖💖🤍🤍🤍💜💜💜
