BTS Entertainment's Little Fan

"I always feel like my life was split into before I turned fifteen and after I turned fifteen."

Before she turned fifteen, Xie Xiaoshan's life goal was to be a lazy freeloader. Her hopes for a future job were simple: good pay, little work, close to home, and a boss who wasn't an idiot.

After she turned fifteen, Xie Xiaoshan was forced to support her family. She worked conscientiously for over a decade and was still a nobody in the entertainment industry. Her fellow debutantes had long since reached the top, bought homes and cars, and made a name and fortune for themselves. Meanwhile, she was still an obscure actress with nothing but awards to her name, so unknown she wasn't even worth mentioning alongside her old friends.

She deeply regretted not going to Thailand for gender-reassignment surgery back then and debuting in a group with them. Wouldn't she have achieved her retirement goals ages ago?

One day, Xie Xiaoshan ran away from home again. Under the ID "Energetic Girl Li Kui," she posted on her social feed, showing off the kid-sized runaway backpack Jungkook had bought to make it up to her. The caption read, "Goodbye, Mom. I'm setting sail tonight!"

In the end, Hoseok found the hopelessly silly Xie Xiaoshan beneath the S.M. building and dragged her back to the dorm. She was holding a huge basin of noodles and shamelessly asking Seokjin for another serving. Jungkook was nearly in tears at the sight of how much she could eat, and Taehyung couldn't bear to watch her eat like she was starving to death.

What was this? Everyone else sulked by refusing to eat, but she sulked by eating two basins' worth.

Taehyung was mostly responsible for how the people of Baotou came to know Xie Xiaoshan. If he hadn't brought her along, this country bumpkin wouldn't have had anything to do with them. They wouldn't have been connected at all!

Taehyung: This is ridiculous. You never got taken care of by Auntie Wang, and you still ate all that food?

The ending is out: V (chapters 177-190), Jimin (chapters 191-205).

Theme: No matter how hard each pass is, you'll get through it.
