#bts4thmuster

i gotta say, at first the name “happy ever after” seemed a bit anticlimactic to me. it sounds kind of final, doesn’t it? we are used to hearing “…and they lived happily ever after” at the end of a fairytale. but bts’ story is just getting started?? why that name? now that i think about it tho… the boys’ journey represents a pretty common character ark. the kindhearted underdog with a dream meets tons of obstacles and goes through hardships, but rises to the top by not giving up and working their hardest. if bts’ story was a movie, it would stop right now. when they’ve finally succeeded. when they’ve earned respect and recognition. and we would never see the actual “happy ever after”. it’s real life though, and our “happy ever after” with bts is just beginning. there’s nowhere to go but up. of course, there’ll still be bumps in the road, but they are free of that “underdog story” narrative (even though it will always be a part of their history) and can allow themselves some liberties. the sequel, the second chapter is on the horizon, and i couldn’t be more excited for bts and for all of us.
