[nature documentary format, narrated by the bangtan bomb lady]
In his few hours of awareness, the creature known as Min Yoongi searches for nourishment in the environment known as the backstage room of Music Bank. His pack, who our team has come to call Bangtan, sleeps around him or is otherwise unaware of their packmate's hunt for food.
There is a large array of possibilities that the environment provides on the table in front of him. Slowly, Yoongi's eyes traverse the assortment. He may try every single one, but today he decides he's not in the mood to try everything. He's on the prowl for something specific. But what?
Evidently, he finds what he's hungry for. There is a bag in the middle of the table, half-obscured by a box of cheesy corndogs and another container full of fried chicken. He snatches it up. It's a bag of chips--but what flavor? Yoongi turns the bag around to read, demonstrating high levels of intelligence as he does so. Fascinating.

[Meow meow snack time] the subtitles read.
Taking the package back to his nest, Min Yoongi settles into the lap of another pack member, Jung Hoseok. A mate perhaps? They engage in a form of communication led predominantly by the other. Yoongi speaks back in a series of grunts we cannot understand but which makes the other bare his teeth, close his eyes and make shrill noises.
Once the package of chips has been opened, it appears to alert the rest of the pack of the presence of food. As they pass the chip owner, they take it upon themselves to reach in and take some for their own. Not only does this demonstrates their closeness as a community, but also the docile and willingness to share the nature of Min Yoongi.
Eventually, Jung Hoseok must continue his life and deposits the other onto the couch, leaving him to finish his snack in peace. Or so he thinks.

*Camera inside a potted plant zooms in on the bag of chips*
Little does the pack know, this bag of chips is soon going to be... down to the last one.
In this circumstance, an artificial scarcity is created. Each pack member has had a taste of these prized morsels, and even though cooperation is key to the social structure of the group, sometimes there are lines which simply cannot be crossed.
*suspenseful music* *change camera angle*
Here we see the hungry, hunky specimen, Namjoon. For better or for worse, he has set his sights on the last chip. But when he reaches in for the grab??
Collision. Another hand was already on the way.
Both of the packmates retreat, nursing their wounds. Not to be deterred, however, they reach in again, but??
Disaster strikes. The bag of chips has fallen onto the table, and *dramatic cymbals* has been smashed by the arm of another packmate.
Can the food be recovered? The two hungry men approach the bag again. They look inside...
*dramatic music changes to happy light music*
A miracle!! What was once one chip is now two. Not only does Namjoon get a bite, but Yoongi, too, can have the very last chip.
