THE PATH TOWARDS THE EXIT || BTS

ROOM #3: Min Yoongi (6)

...

"Did you really think they gave you a chance to be a singer produced by HYBE because you saved them?" Yoongi asked, a sly smirk forming on his lips.

Jamsi was taken aback. She was sure that the pannel gave her a chance because they feel indebt for how the reason why she can't be accepted as an idol is also the reason why everyone was saved.

"What do you mean?" Jamsi asked, confidence now gone.

"Hyung-nim! I'm telling you it's talent that you're wasting!" Yoongi exclaimed and did his best to argue when the same information was given to him when he asked the others if Jamsi could be a singer supported by HYBE.

Bang Sihyuk sighed, "Yoongi, the decision is already made. It's not going to cha—"

"You're telling me that you want BTS or the other idols here to be an advocate of self love and acceptance but this company wont even accept pure talent just because of some physical attributes? Then where the hell do we put all of those songs we created to make people understand that nothing is impossible? When a step towards an individual's dream is too hard to achieve because of this unrealistic standard? Does it make someone less of a person if they're not five foot or something? Does it means they should not dream if they weigh more that fortyfive?! We want people to understand that nothing is possible but it's very impossible to accept someone just for a physical feature that was not even a default? When did BigHit became this strict with picking their artist and shallow when it comes to reasoning? Aren't we the company that accepts people for hardwork and not capability of making a face famous?" Yoongi exhales. He's been meaning to say those words ever since the company change rules.

"It makes me sad that what use to be our comfort ground became so strict and full of standards that it makes us so self conscious walking around a building we use to call home but is now filled with employees instead of who we use to call family." Yoongi was in tears as he explains. "Did you think I took Jamsi just because I want you to know that she's talented? No, hyung! She reminded me of who I was before! I dreamt to be a producer and was never accepted to any companies because of how I look! So I thrived to be a rapper instead, but you gave me more... You disregarded my looks because you thought that my talent should not be wasted, because you thought I was a good kid and I have the eyes of a determinated person! You never told me anything about my height, my face, my dancing skill, all that used to matter in this company is how hard working we are!"

"If you let her in — if you let Jamsi become HYBE's singer... Then maybe we'll have a taste of what home feels like before. Maybe people will talk about us again, how we fight over the standards and once again proved that insecurities are never hindrance to achieve your goal." Yoongi finalised and bowed down.

He walked out of the CEO's office, wiping his tears and preparing to hear or read the decision in a few hours.
