I know I’ve mentioned this before, but a reason so many of us felt broken after the Festa 2022 dinner wasn’t because we thought they were breaking up, it was because we could see how scared they were to move on to the next chapter.
Seeing Namjoon in tears and feeling so uncertain was so heavy on our hearts. But look now! We did it and they did it because we kept trusting each other. Please always trust them and their words.
Thank you to everyone who stayed! 💜

I’ve been here for 11 years and most of you won’t know but BCD used to have more followers than chartdata. There was even a time chartdata would straight up copy BCD tweets. The account literally grew with and thanks to BTS popularity and ARMY clout
