Color My World Joon

Chapter 30: Life Goes On

*Time skip ahead ten years*

Hea had reached the age of 20 and she had decided that she wanted to be just like Namjoon and pursue music while finishing a college degree and so she did that. However, Tae-il and the other eight kids of the other BTS members also wanted to pursue music and dance to honor the legacy of their fathers. They all got together and with nine members, they formed a co-ed K-Pop group and called themselves BTS Junior. Just like her father, Hea took charge of the group and became the leader. The others did similar things to their parents as well. Jin continued acting, Yoongi, Namjoon, and Hobi continued making rap music, Jimin was still a judge on a Korean dance show, Taehyung dropped modeling and music to become an actor as well, and lastly Jungkook continued making music but dropped the English songs and stuck to his Korean roots.

BTS Junior's debut was a huge success and many people who had supported BTS during their prime encouraged their children to listen to BTS Junior. Much like the original BTS, they also preached to work for your dreams, self love, respecting others, and everything they got from their parents they passed onto the new Junior Armies. Their first album was a cover album full of BTS song covers. They then released their own original music and their songs talked about what it was like to step into their fathers' shoes and try to fill in the space they left open when they left the music industry as a group.

Aside from BTS Junior, Hea and Tae-il's relationship grew stronger now that they were older and able to understand what it meant to have a soulmate and what it was like to be in love with someone so strongly. They enjoyed being in the same music group and having shared interests and their memories of their childhood. The others found their soulmates too throughout the years and it was easy for them to adjust to the idea of having a soulmate who wasn't in the media because they would refer themselves to what happened with Mary and Namjoon to know how to work through the struggles.

Years went by and BTS Junior was going strong. They had reached more popularity than their fathers' and now were the most streamed artists in the whole world (reaching about Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson numbers during their respective prime times). BTS Junior had a bigger impact since they had more members and it was co-ed and that helped their audience broaden. They also decided to expand their music beyond English, Korean, and Japanese; they made music in Chinese, French, Spanish, Italian, and many other languages. Of course they were only fluent in Korean and English (while some of them could also speak one other language) but they never let language stop them from spreading their message through music.

As for Mary and Namjoon, eventually as the years went on, Namjoon retired from the music industry and Mary retired from her career too. They grew old together and happily watched Hea build her own career and family before peacefully passing away together at old age.
