Taehyung was sitting in front of the Camera that he had set up in his bedroom. It was on the tripod  while Taehyung was sitting on the chair in front of it. He had looked at himself for five times now. He needs to look his best before he records this video.

Sitting here, he is feeling a bit anxious. Jeongguk has gone to the living room to give Taehyung space to make this video so when he is done he can run right to him. He would need it, that's for sure. Jeongguk even made breakfast for him today which made him remember their days in Villa. He definitely missed having breakfast made by the boy. He has magic in his hands.

Getting sidetracked in his thoughts again, he decided to Get himself together. Taking a deep breath before he pressed the the camera button on. The red light showed it has started to record.

"Hello everyone, I am Kim Taehyung, I was the winner of Love Roulette 2022 which I won with the girl I was coupled up with, Bae Joohyun. I am here to address the rumors that have been spreading about me for the past few days. I have to say I was taken back by the amount of backlash I got for something I wasn't even able to tell my part of the story for but what done is done and I'm here to give you my part of my story so you can truly judge who is the actual victim here."

Taehyung paused for a second, he grabbed the paper in front of him. He had written down all of the points he would be addressing because this is going to be a long video where he is going to go on a big rant. It's an expose video after all.

"I will be addressing each rumor so my name is clear. The main thing that everyone keeps saying is that why I did what I did when no one asks what pushed me to that point. My experience at Love Roulette wasn't the most pleasant. The way I was treated in that place was the reason I was pushed to pull everything I pulled. I will start from the beginning. The fact I was the first bisexual contestant to enter was the main reason why I had to go through such hardships in that Villa."

"Even in such an advanced century, I was facing homophobia in that Villa, not from staff only but also some of the fellow contestants who I would not name. I was called degrading names behind my back only because I'm bisexual. My sexuality doesn't mean I like to be accessed by anyone or I flirt with everyone. I am a human with feelings too. That's not how it works but I was being reminded of it every other second. Not only that, I don't even know if they showed it but I was actually drowned by one of the contestants." Taehyung chuckled when he remembered the dark memory.

"I cannot swim and one of the boys was just persistent on getting me inside the pool. They were forcing me to go, so he pushed me inside the pool. That moment was a really dark moment for me, As I was drowning deeper and deeper, I thought this was it and t-that feeling still makes me so s-scared to this day…I was traumatized by that near death experience." Taehyung held back his tears,stopping for a second as he looked up. Trying to keep his tears in.

"If it wasn't for Jeongguk who jumped into the pool for me and Jimin who saved me, I might not have even been here. That boy tried to argue that he didn't know I couldn't swim but he knew. I was friends with him, I had told this to him, I don't know what pushed him to the point of literally wanting to kill me, I may be exaggerating but I was deeply hurt as he never even properly apologized to me that day. Even though the show didn't take any action against him. My safety was in danger but that show did nothing for me. They have always used me for their own benefit.

The reason why I wasn't able to date Jeongguk openly is because Love Roulette has a rule where same sex couples can't be together. What other reason do they have for that reason other than homophobia? I was quite because I was under a contract, I could not say anything but now that the contract is done, I am coming out with my truth. I didn't have any ulterior motive, all I wanted was to be loved and have my lover beside me but I had to hide so they wouldn't kick me out. Instead they were so fucking hypocritical, they used me to queerbait the audience. The first date with Jeongguk was scripted, he didn't choose me, the whole thing with bright, with forcing us to be together was all done by them so they can queerbait the audience. Though me and Bright are really good friends now and this experience is something both of us were hurt from as our sexualities aren't a tool for them to use.
