After a long and restful night , Hannah wakes up feeling much better this morning.
>>Sleep is always the best medicine you can take.
No idea what Sejin gave me last night, but these pills have worked wonders…
My headache is gone and…
She places one hand on her forehead, checking her temperature.
>>Feels normal…
She smiles and changes her clothes before writing messages to Hoseok and Taehyung.
Hannah:
Good morning! Can you come over to my room?
I need to talk to you.
A few minutes later, someone knocks on her door.
Hannah:
"Come in!"
Hoseok opens the door and enters her room with a serious expression on his face.
Hoseok:
"Morning, Hannah!
Do you feel better?"
Taehyung is following him, holding a glass filled with some orange liquid, obviously orange juice.
Taehyung:
"Noona.
I've made you some freshly pressed orange juice."
Hannah:
"For… me?"
He nods and places the glass on the desk next to Hannah.
>>Why are these guys so fucking adorable?
She sighs with a smile on her face.
Hannah:
"Thank you.
I'm feeling much better thanks to Sejin-hyung's medicine.
Whatever he gave me… it helped a lot."
She takes a sip of the orange juice Taehyung has prepared for her. It tastes sweet and delicious.
Hannah:
"Mhhhhh! So good!
Thank you, Tae!
Vitamins are necessary."
Hoseok sits down on her sofa and crosses his arms in front of his chest.
Hoseok:
"Take it easy today."
Hannah:
"That was my plan.
From tomorrow we will be busy filming the new RUN episodes."
Taehyung:
"Why are you involved in everything again?"
Hannah:
"Because… why not?!"
She giggles and shrugs.
Hannah:
"As you might know… I'm part of your visual content team.
That's why I was hired."
Hoseok:
"You are everything!
Content creator... video editor... secret manager… the band's mother... roommate... close friend…"
Hoseok counts on his fingers.
Taehyung:
"It's all about delegation.
You don't need to do everything.
Just hand over some work to your coworkers.
That's why we have lots of staff, as you know."
>>He got a point here...
Hannah:
"Thank you guys for caring and your words!
At least once or twice a year, I get a cold, and it's been a while since my last one.
But you know…"
Suddenly, she jumps up on her feet and puts both arms up.
Hannah:
"Look!
I'm much better!"
Taehyung stands up as well, grabs one of her arms and guides her to sit down again.
Taehyung:
"We believe you, but please have a rest.
Or I'll get Jimin!"
Hoseok gets out his phone demonstratively.
Hoseok:
"I'll call him right away…"
Before he could even unlock his device, Hannah jumps up to grab it and throws it on the bed. Both Taehyung and Hoseok burst out laughing.
Hannah:
"Not today, Mr Jung!
You'll get that back after we have talked about something…
Jimin is actually the reason I called you over…"
Their smiles fade.
Taehyung:
"Because... of what happened the other day?"
Hannah nods.
Hannah:
"Yes...
I've talked with Namjoon and Yoongi already, and we came up with a plan."
Hoseok:
"Oh?"
Hoseok's eyes widen in surprise while Taehyung smiles at her.
Taehyung:
"Really?"
Hoseok:
"Wow, you guys are amazing!!
I've been thinking a lot about it the last few days, but…
I still feel utterly helpless."
Taehyung:
"I know how you feel…"
Hannah:
"It can get overwhelming dealing with this problem ourselves, but… as a team, we can initiate change."
She shares everything in detail with them.
Hannah:
"Maybe you guys can talk to him and dig down to the root of his behaviour.
As his best friend and roommate, you guys are closest to him."
Taehyung:
"Oh! Great idea!"
Hoseok:
"I've never seen it that way…
So far, I chose to avoid this topic so I wouldn't upset him…"
Taehyung:
"Same, same...
But sometimes he makes nasty comments about his body."
Hannah sighs, visible upset.
Hannah:
"...the footage of that BTS Bomb episode."
Taehyung:
"Yes, for example."
Hoseok:
"What do you mean?
What did Jimin say?"
Taehyung:
"When we were promoting Wings last month, one night he ate some Ramen and the following day he said that he looks like a pig on camera."
Hoseok:
"When he interviewed us because Hannah was busy?
Seriously?"
How can he be so mean to himself?!"
Taehyung:
"I didn't know what to say…
It wasn't the first time he talked badly about himself."
Hannah:
"It's painful… isn't it?"
Hoseok:
"Yeah...
He would never allow anyone else to treat their body the way he is treating himself right now."
He narrows his eyes and shakes his head.
Taehyung:
"Exactly!"
Taehyung looks over to Hannah and tilts his head.
Taehyung:
"Somehow… you guys are alike…"
Hannah:
"Jimin... and I? Alike?"
Hannah frowns perplexed.
Hoseok:
"I agree, Tae."
He nods and looks over to Hannah as well.
Hoseok:
"You always care about others, but then you forget to look after yourself…"
Hannah:
"Hey, I'm a big girl.
I can take care of myself."
Taehyung tilts his head with an unimpressed expression.
Taehyung:
"Finish up your orange juice, Noona!"
Hannah opens her mouth to reply but closes it again without saying a word. Instead, she sighs before finishing her orange juice in one big gulp.
>>Damn it!
Taehyung:
"Good girl."
He smiles brightly at her while he gets one of her deadly glares in return. She wrinkles her nose and Taehyung sticks out his tongue.
Hoseok:
"I'll try to talk to him within the next few days."
Taehyung nods.
Taehyung:
"Yes! Let's help, Jimin!"
Hannah:
"We can do it. Together!"
Hannah and Hoseok keep chatting for a while, but Taehyung suddenly goes quiet and doesn't say a word.
Hannah:
"Tae?
Are you bored?
You can go back to your room if you want.
I think we finished discussing everything I wanted to talk about."
Taehyung:
"What?
No, no…
I was just thinking…"
A sad expression washes over his face.
Hoseok:
"Are you okay?
Do you... need a hug?
I also miss your grandmother a lot."
Taehyung's eyes start watering, but he shakes his head.
Taehyung:
"I mean… of course, I'm still sad about her death…
But…
No… I am mad!"
Hoseok:
"Mad?"
He raises one eyebrow.
Hannah:
"Tae…
Don't tell me, you went online and…"
>>Say no, say no, say...
Taehyung:
"...how can they be this vicious?!"
He balls his hands into fists.
>>Fuck!!
Why do they all need to be on their phones constantly?!
Maybe we should consider blocking certain websites and apps for their own sanity...
She puffs out frustratedly.
Hoseok:
"What's going on?"
Hannah:
"Tae…
You know, Hoseok…
Some antis wrote shit after the muster.
Nothing nice…"
Hoseok:
"Someone wrote bad stuff because Tae shared his feelings about his late grandmother?!
Are you kidding me?"
Hannah:
"I wish I was..."
She takes out her phone, opens the first screenshot and hands it to him.
Hoseok:
"What the fuck?!
What is wrong with these people?!"
He slams his clenched fist on the armrest of the couch.
Taehyung:
"Honestly, they can say whatever they want about me …
I don't give a fuck about their opinions, but…
Involving my grandmother?!"
He clenches his fists.
Hannah:
"It doesn't matter who they talk about… This is unacceptable!!!
I planned to inform my dad about it anyway.
Please…. don't read any more comments. Let Big Hit handle this issue.
This is not okay, and they went too far…"
Taehyung:
"A statement…"
Hoseok:
"If you react, they'll win.
That's what they want."
Hannah:
"Yes, they want to hurt you.
But we won't make it easy for them.
Fuck them!
What do they even know?"
Hoseok:
"Yes, fuck these arseholes!"
Hoseok snorts loudly.
Hoseok:
"A hug?"
Taehyung nods with a smile and Hoseok embraces him in a hug.
Hannah:
"Great idea!"
Hannah opens her arms and joins their hug.
Hannah:
"We are always here for you.
You'll never walk alone!"
Taehyung:
"As long as we have each other, nobody can break us."
Hoseok:
"HELL YES!!!"
After eating lunch with Hoseok and Taehyung, Hannah goes to Jungkook's room to get him involved in their mission.
Hannah:
"Hey, Jungkookie!"
Jungkook:
"Hannaaaaah!
Perfect timing.
I just wanted to ask you to come over."
Hannah:
"Really?
I knew that."
She winks at him.
Jungkook:
"Have you guys finalised the concept for Spring Day's music video?"
Hannah:
"Almost.
We came up with a bunch of great ideas, but the storyboard isn't set in stone yet."
Jungkook:
"Awesome!!
I have some ideas myself and I'd like to share them with you."
Hannah:
"Oooooh!
You live up to your nickname for sure.
The Golden Maknae.
Let me grab my tablet so we can work through my notes."
Jungkook nods, and she walks back to her room to retrieve her notes.
Hannah:
"That's what we got so far..."
She opens her Spring Day file in OneNote, and they work through the whole lot she has collected so far. Hannah patiently explains everything to him.
Jungkook:
"Wow, I can already picture that video!
It fits the story behind Spring Day perfectly..."
Hannah:
"Thank you.
Namjoon and I talked so much about the Sewol Ferry Tragedy that I had to make sure we honour the victims appropriately."
Jungkook:
"Love the idea that we represent the survivors...
You'll Never Walk Alone."
He nods approvingly.
Jungkook:
"Awesome detail to have Joon initiating the change."
Hannah:
"I couldn't think of anyone else, to be honest.
He brought this song about and was largely in charge of its creation.
Maybe we managed to have a little story for each of you…"
She strokes her chin with her fingers, looking outside his windows while trying to come with ideas.
Jungkook:
"Can I get something as epic as Namjoon?"
Hannah:
"Mh...
Yeah, he will look hella badass, walking through the length of the train and leading the viewer to the different locations of this set."
Jungkook:
"But I was wondering…
Why did you choose a train as location?
And why all that snow?
We'll be freezing again on set..."
He pretends to shiver and rubs his upper arms.
Hannah:
"Come on!
The team always makes sure you are wrapped into warm coats during breaks, and we provide you with hot drinks.
But… have you seen the movie Snowpiercer?"
Jungkook:
"Yes!!
I loved that movie.
Ah, now I see...
RM-hyung even mentions it in the lyrics."
Hannah:
"After losing someone, you grieve and everything becomes meaningless...
Also, it's more common to feel slightly depressed during winter due to the lack of vitamin D."
Jungkook nods.
Hannah:
"And when you just lost someone dear to you…
Even August can feel like winter…"
Jungkook:
"… and you're desperately waiting for that Spring Day to return."
Hannah:
"Exactly."
Jungkook:
"I was thinking about how it would be possible to portray their feelings…
Dealing with death and loss undoubtedly is challenging for everyone.
But now that you mentioned snow and a train…
In my head, I see someone being at an empty train station…
Everything is covered in snow, and it's cold.
Nobody else is around, and he is all by himself."
Hannah:
"Also, is there no train coming?"
Jungkook:
"No…
It looks like time stopped."
Hannah:
"In general, train tracks make me anxious…
Especially in relation to this topic.
Some people cannot cope with the guilt they feel after having lost someone they love in an accident, whereas they survived…"
Jungkook looks at Hannah and puts one hand on her shoulder for comfort. She looks up and smiles at him.
Hannah:
"I don't mind talking about this topic if this is what you wanted to ask…
In a way, I can empathise with what they might have felt…
But it is possible to keep on living."
He smiles at her.
Jungkook:
"You're such a strong woman."
Hannah:
"Stop it now."
She smiles back at him and nods.
Hannah:
"Go on with your ideas, Kookie."
Jungkook:
"Okay…
So… imagine that person walking on the tracks... laying down his head on them."
Hannah:
"That sounds like a lovely opening scene to introduce the train as well."
Hanna takes notes while they're talking.
Jungkook:
"Some people might return to the site to commemorate."
Hannah:
"Going to a beach would be the most accessible place in that situation.
Of course not the typical tropical beach one would go to on vacation…
On a grey day, the atmosphere is rather gloomy and nostalgic."
Jungkook:
"Even when you try to move on... sometimes... you'll get sad all of a sudden again."
Hannah:
"Yes...
Also, nobody was ever held accountable for what happened.
There was no justice, and it could happen again..."
Jungkook:
"I researched some more about this case."
His eyes reveal the sadness that overcomes him, and he sighs.
Hannah:
"It's depressing, isn't it?
My heart gets heavy whenever I think about it."
Jungkook:
"Mine, too.
Have you seen this quote, by the way?"
He shows her a piece of paper on which he has written something.
"Grown-ups are constantly telling us to forget and cheer up. But we will remember and recollect our friends. Because not forgetting them is what we can do at best. Just as we will not forget them, please don't forget them."
Hannah:
"Yes!
I've read that one as well.
Maybe we'll be able to incorporate it into the video somehow."
Jungkook:
"That would be awesome.
And I found this really cool art installation."
He shows her a picture of a pile of clothes.
Hannah:
"Oh, wow!
I get goosebumps just by looking at it."
Jungkook:
"I thought when a ship sinks…
At some point, the remains of everyone who died will strand at a beach and if you pile them up…"
Hannah:
"That could look like this.
Just imagine you guys sitting on top of this."
Jungkook:
"Pretty epic, in my opinion.
Do you think we could talk to the artist and ask for permission to use his idea?"
Hannah:
"I have to talk to the team about it first.
But that's a great idea, thanks!!"
She gets back to her notes and stays quiet for a while.
Jungkook:
"Hannah?"
Hannah:
"...Jungkookie?"
Jungkook:
"Sometimes, I'd love to know what's going on inside Jimin's head."
Hannah:
"Me too, Jungkook, me too…
I talked to some of the others already, and we have a plan."
Jungkook:
"Really?
You're awesome, Noona!"
Hannah:
"Hey, everyone contributed.
This is the perfect teamwork BTS is known for."
Jungkook:
"You mean… BTS and Hannah Winter are known for."
She rolls her eyes.
Hannah:
"Okay, okay…
So…
We came up with a collection of several ideas, including you."
Jungkook:
"Me?"
Hannah:
"I plan to touch upon our plans in a group chat later, but... would you agree to imitate Jimin's behaviour for a while, so he might understand how stupidly he is acting right now?"
Jungkook:
"Copying him?"
Hannah:
"Yes.
Everyone will eat together daily, so he will see that you refuse food.
Hoseok already cracked Jimin's workout schedule."
Jungkook:
"I see what you're planning…
By watching me all the time, he will think I train as much as he does..."
Hannah:
"Exactly.
We know that Jimin has the kindest heart...
He would never allow you to be like this."
Jungkook:
"Count me in!!
I'll try my best to trick him.
Also… cutting out food and adding more training isn't a bad idea anyway...
I'd love to build up some muscles."
He tightens his upper arm muscles to show off in front of Hannah.
Hannah:
"Hey, listen, Jeon Jungkook-ssi!
You will not start that crazy diet yourself!"
He starts laughing.
Hannah:
"Do you listen?!
Don't you dare!"
She extends one index finger and points it at him as a warning.
Jungkook:
"You look cute when you're mad."
Hannah:
"What the fuck?"
He winks at her with a big smile on his face.
Hannah:
"You… you…"
She starts blushing and is lost for words.
Jungkook:
"Ha!
I trained well, Noona.
What do you think?"
Hannah:
"I don't know.
What do you mean, Jungkook… oppa?"
He wrinkles his nose and now Hannah smiles brightly.
Jungkook:
"Hey!!!
You know I don't like this whole oppa thing."
Hannah:
"And I don't like being called cute."
Jungkook:
"No?
But you ARE cute!"
She tilts her head and crosses her arms in front of her chest.
Hannah:
"No!!
I'm a badass woman!"
Jungkook:
"Oh, I'm sorry.
You truly look badass when you're mad."
She nods approvingly.
Hannah:
"Thank you."
Jungkook:
"But…
How will I ever eat if I'm supposed to imitate him?"
Hannah:
"Since Seokjin or Yoongi and I prepare the meals with, it will be easy to put aside some food for you.
After we finish each meal, you can come to my room to eat properly."
Jungkook:
"Daily lunch dates with you?"
Hannah:
"Your reward for being our little hero in this mission."
Jungkook:
"Deal, but…"
He stands up, walks over, and looks down at her.
Jungkook:
"...little?"
Hannah looks up with a grin on her face.
Hannah:
"I don't care how much taller you might grow.
You'll always be my little Jungkookie."
She stands up as well and strokes his hair. Jungkook responds with a warm smile.
Jungkook:
"I'm already looking forward to spending more time with you."
Hannah:
"Also, we can talk more about the upcoming videos.
I'm excited to have a muse for ideas."
After returning to her own room, she opens a new chat group and invites every member - except Jimin.
17:37 Hannah changes the chatroom name to "Mission Park Jimin". Yoongi was added. Namjoon was added. Seokjin was added. Hoseok was added. Taehyung was added. Jungkook was added. Hannah: Alright, let's wrap this project up. First plan... Namjoon: From now on. All of us will have breakfast and lunch together. Every single day and skipping is no option. I already informed Jimin about that. Yoongi: Let me guess… He was not happy, right? Namjoon: No, but I don't care. It's an order. Hannah: Seokjin and I will mostly be in charge of cooking. Hannah created a pinned post. Mission 1: daily breakfast & lunch with everyone - Seokjin & Hannah (& Yoongi) - Hannah: Next. Hoseok: Tae and I will talk to him openly. Try to open his eyes and find out why he is doing this. Hannah created a pinned post. Mission 2: talk to Jimin. - Taehyung & Hoseok - Hannah: And last but not least. Our master plan… Jungkook: From tomorrow I'll start imitating Jimin. I'll cut down on food and try to always exercise alongside him. Hannah created a pinned post. Mission 3: copy Jimin's behaviour - Jungkook - Namjoon: Let's see if we can help him together. He is hurting himself, and at some point, he will cause problems for the band. When it seems like he doesn't like himself. Let us help him to learn to accept himself. Hannah: If anyone has news, please share them. Let's try to be one step ahead of him. I'll operate in the background. Seokjin: It sounds like we will not fail this mission. 18:06 Seokjin: But you did not tell us… Who makes sure that Jungkook doesn't starve? Yoongi: Hannah. Seokjin: Oh, okay. Makes sense. She can hide some food in her room. Jungkook: Daily dates with Hannah. I am already a fan of this plan. Hannah: Jeon Jungkook! Taehyung: Oh, oh… If Jimin ever finds out about this, you'll be dead! Jungkook: He would never hurt the Golden Maknae. Namjoon: I would not be too sure about that… Yoongi: We all know that Jimin has a weak spot for Hannah. Hannah: Guys! Let's keep this chat clean. Namjoon: The real leader has spoken.
Namjoon sent an image
Hannah opens the file and sees the picture of a crown. She starts laughing at it and shakes her head.
Hannah: @Taehyung? Taehyung: ...yes? Hannah: How about you play some more games with Seokjin? Taehyung: Ooooh, great idea!! I'll come over! Seokjin: Thanks, Hannah!! Hannah: Please wait for me, Joon… Yoongi: If I were you… I'd RUN!! Hannah mutes Yoongi for 30 minutes. Jungkook: Hahaha!
21.11.2016
Early in the morning, Hannah drives to the Big Hit building to get some work done and to take the opportunity to talk to her father. She'll be busy producing several BTS RUN episodes within the next few days and won't be at the office anymore.
After starting her laptop, she skypes her father right away.
08:34 - Hannah Winter: Do you have some time for me today?
08:34 - Hannah Winter: I want to talk to you about something.
08:39 - Sihyuk Bang: Sure
08:42 - Sihyuk Bang: How about 10:00?
08:43 - Hannah Winter: Great!
08:43 - Hannah Winter: I'll come over later.
She kills time working on her notes for the Spring Day video until she walks into Sihyk Bang's office.
Sihyuk Bang:
"Guten Morgen, Kleenes."
Hannah:
"Morning, Dad."
She walks over to him and hugs him.
Sihyuk Bang:
"Did anything happen?"
His face looks concerned.
Hannah:
"Kind of…
Have you read some of these Tweets?"
Sihyk tilts his head.
Hannah:
"Attacking Taehyung after the muster..."
Sihyuk Bang:
"What?"
He frowns, and Hannah shows him a selection of Tweets she has found.
Hannah:
"Tae read some of them...
I think... we should do something about this."
Sihyuk Bang:
"I agree.
This is getting out of hand.
I'll discuss it with my consultants and lawyers later.
If we need to take legal actions, we will just do that."
Hannah:
"Thank you, dad!"
Sihyuk Bang:
"Anything else?"
Hannah:
"No, that's it."
She smiles at him.
Sihyuk Bang:
"Perfect.
So...
Do you have a few more minutes?
I came up with a new idea I wanted to share with you."
Hannah:
"Sure!
I have 20 minutes left before I need to leave for today's Run recording."
Sihyuk Bang:
"That should be enough.
If you're late, you can say it's my fault."
Hannah:
"I would have done that anyway."
Sihyuk Bang:
"Even if you forgot about time and worked on something else?"
Hannah:
"Exactly."
Sihyuk Bang:
"Hey!!"
She sticks out his tongue, and he laughs at her.
22.11.2016
Hannah and the rest of the staff take BTS to a water park for three episodes. After some physical activities involving a lot of water, they sit at two tables about to be split into two teams. One of the members is a spy, and the others need to figure out who it is. Hannah and her coworkers provided lots of food as a reward and placed it on both tables for them to see.
Hannah:
"Is everyone ready?
...Yoongi?"
Yoongi:
"Yes, I think we can continue."
Hannah:
"Awesome.
Everyone get ready and…
Action!"
Yoongi walks over to Hannah after they finish.
Yoongi:
"How could they have been that dumb?!"
Hannah:
"I cannot believe they didn't notice anything.
Seokjin was too good."
Yoongi:
"Best idea ever to choose him as the spy."
Hannah:
"Guess who came up with it?"
Yoongi:
"Well done, Noona."
They give each other a high five, and Hannah turns around.
Hannah:
"I'm disappointed in you guys!
He has given so many clues!"
Taehyung:
"What do you mean??
He did not!"
Hannah:
"He wasn't really into the games and the last one he lost on purpose.
Every time you guys mentioned the word "spy", his ears turned red, and he blinked a lot."
Hoseok:
"What?
You're lying!!"
Namjoon:
"But we started suspecting him in the end…"
Hannah:
"But our master of acting…"
Seokjin:
"You believed me!!
Ha!!"
Upon finishing this recording, they move to another location. This time, Hannah shares a car with Wonju and takes the passenger seat.
Hannah:
"Finishing the whole season in a few days is tough…"
Wonju Lee:
"Otherwise, we won't be able to release it on time.
Their schedule is way too packed."
Hannah:
"You are right.
The guys will be incredibly busy next year."
Wonju Lee:
"The question is... how do they survive this?"
Hannah:
"How?
Mh…
They are... BTS!"
Wonju Lee:
"How could I forget?"
They smile at each other, and Wonju stops the car in front of the following location.
