(War of Hormone)
"Hyung, I can't do it."
"I know, Jungkook, but at least try, okay?"
"Fine. But if you look too hot then that isn't my fault."
Jungkook was getting bored. They were doing a bunch of throwback specials and performing songs they never thought they would again. They had gotten to War of Hormone and he was already dying. Because he was going out with Yoongi. It was so hard on Jungkook to see his boyfriend back in his Dark & Wild era and not be able to take him then and there.
"it's hard for me too, you know," argued Yoongi, "Do you have any idea how hot you are when you rap?" Jungkook shrugged and smiled because yes, he did. They were a well-kept secret from everyone, including their bandmates. It was actually kind of funny at times to see them so clueless. But if they revealed their relationship, there would be torrents of hate. Probably a lot more love, but still a lot of hate. Mostly from Taekook and Yoonmin shippers. And not to mention the Sope stans, they would go insane.
At the moment, they were in a spare dressing room, back in their old clothes and trying to figure out how to keep it together onstage. Especially during Yoongi's rap when Jungkook would have to pick him up. They were just admiring each other properly since they couldn't keep staring in front of cameras or the others. Jungkook missed his comfortable, oversized sweaters and, apparently, Yoongi missed them too. Yoongi was looking like a damn god. Jungkook had very nearly forgotten just how fine Dark & Wild Suga looked with his dark eyeliner and abundance of leather.
Once they were done truly taking in the time warp, they joined the others in the main dressing room. Jimin was back in his red pants and Taehyung had what he described as "the jacket" back. Even Jungkook had to admit that this era of V was iconic. But basically, everyone was just running around with pre-show excitement. Yoongi shrugged at Jungkook and slouched across a sofa. Taehyung and Jimin roped him into a game of tag in the most inconvenient, restricted area possible. Of course he would play.
After about ten minutes of running around, nearly breaking things, apologising and repeating, the maknae line fell onto a couch and rested up before the performance. Yoongi had basically not moved. Jungkook bit his lip and raked his eyes across his boyfriend's form, taking in everything again. Hoseok snapped his fingers in front of his eyes and Jungkook jumped.
"Once you're done mentally undressing our hyung," Hoseok joked, making Jungkook blush, "can you run through your rap part? It's been a while." Jungkook rolled his eyes and began rapping fluently, remembering all of the pronunciation tricks that Yoongi had taught him. Hoseok grinned, "Ayyyy, well done! We should really give Rapper Jungkook a comeback, you know (do it Bighit). Or a part in Cypher pt 5." Taehyung immediately looked up.
"Oh, hell no! There is no way Jungkook is getting that part before I am! Do you know how long I've been waiting for this? I swear to God; I deserve that part (yes he does)." Hoseok stepped back, expecting a fight.
"Whoa, it was a joke! You two know full well that neither of you are getting parts. And besides, Tae, if we really wanted to piss you off, we'd give the part to Jimin." Jimin laughed.
"Am I allowed to pass on that? I feel like Yoongi would kill me anyway before we finished it," he looked over at Yoongi, who looked back briefly and nodded before turning back to his phone. Jungkook smiled. He loved Yoongi being a little dark and reclusive and it took a lot not to bite his lip again. Seokjin appeared from somewhere and started randomly hitting Hoseok on the shoulder. Hoseok turned around and started hitting him back. It would have gotten a lot more violent if Namjoon hadn't broken it up.
"We have a show in literally ten minutes, calm down," he said, and Hoseok and Seokjin reluctantly stopped fighting. There was always a strange energy just before a performance, but no one really minded. The live audience would ground them. A stage manager walked in with a clipboard and informed them,
"There are 10,000 people in the audience and cameras streaming live. I think we're ready for you to get up there." The seven of them beamed. It still felt unreal how so many people actually wanted to listen to them and watch them perform. It was crazy the impact they had on people's lives. They stood up and went through some last minute checks on makeup and mics before they were led to directly below the stage.
Jungkook glanced at Yoongi. There were a lot of people there and even more watching live on TV. They could not mess this up. They heard an announcer call their name and there was a lot of fake smoke as they rose up onto the stage. The lights from the audience were beautiful and their screams were deafening. Namjoon did a quick introduction and Jungkook wondered how he wasn't still awe-struck.
"Shall we do it?" Namjoon shouted and the reply was a wave of screams louder than before. "Cool! Let's go, guys." They got into position with everyone except Namjoon off to the side and the familiar song began to play. The fans screamed for them as they entered two by two. If Jungkook was being perfectly honest, this was Taehyung's song. For these four minutes, he owned the stage and the audience' attention.
So when Jungkook slipped up slightly on the very first line of his verse, he pushed through. He could feel Yoongi's support come telepathically and he loved it. The chorus came smoothly and it was Taehyung's time to shine out. With their new music, there wasn't much scope for any bad boy concept, but Taehyung brought it right back. Then Yoongi started rapping and Jungkook's mind hazed momentarily. That always happened. It was like a side effect.
Jungkook grinned and winked, knowing someone would see it. He put his head between Yoongi's legs and held him up on his shoulders. He listened as Yoongi's voice changed slightly and he laughed internally at the effect he had. Yoongi kicked him slightly. It probably looked like just an accident but Jungkook knew it was on purpose. Payback. He put Yoongi down and they kept going. While Hoseok and Taehyung were doing their thing, Yoongi got close enough so that Jungkook could hear him whisper,
"Fuck you, Kookie, I love you." Jungkook didn't have the time or space to reply but smirked anyway. The show must go on, no matter how cute his boyfriend was being. They got to the last chorus and Jungkook remembered what came next and shot a glance at Yoongi. He loved this part for the pure fact that it made Yoongi insanely jealous.
"La la la la la la la la," he sang and Taehyung took centre stage again before slapping Jungkook's ass. He couldn't see Yoongi from where he was, but Jungkook knew he would not be looking. Because he got so jealous at times and who could blame him when Jungkook could literally make anyone in the whole arena kneel before him without even trying that hard. He understood why Yoongi got so jealous because he felt it, too. Whenever Jimin went near him. Honestly, that kid was such a flirt he probably made Yoongi jealous as well. But Jungkook did love him. Yoongi was the hottest, kindest, funniest, most talented person in the world and Jungkook loved him more than anything. And he needed Yoongi to know that. Like, right now.
They were literally in their final formation. They were literally about four bars from the end of the song. Yoongi was just behind Jungkook. So Jungkook did it. He turned around, grabbed Yoongi's shirt and pulled him in. Even though the audience grew infinitely louder, Jungkook didn't hear them. He kissed him. In front of 10,000 people and a bunch of TV cameras. Jungkook did not care. And it seemed that Yoongi didn't either. Because he kissed Jungkook back in front of 10,000 people and a bunch of TV cameras.
Somehow, this felt different to any other time he had kissed Yoongi. Not because of the spectators, but because Jungkook needed to prove to Yoongi, prove to the world, how much he loved him. So Jungkook kissed him deeply, passionately, as if Yoongi would disappear if he didn't. Yoongi's hand entwined with Jungkook's and held it tightly. Jungkook smiled into the kiss and felt Yoongi smile back. All Jungkook could think was that he really loved Yoongi. More than he had ever loved anyone and more than he ever would. And Yoongi loved him back. Jungkook only wanted Yoongi and after the show, he would have him.
Yoongi pulled back and looked at him. He was blushing, which was to be expected. Jungkook looked back and smiled bashfully. Yoongi bit his lip and whispered,
"I feel like later, we're gonna remember everything wrong with that, but for now at least, I love you so fucking much." He pecked Jungkook's lips again and moved away to walk across the stage. Jungkook realised that the others were looking at them, a mixture of confused, shocked and amused. Yoongi raised his mic and projected a very drawn out, "Annnnyway." Jungkook laughed and the audience joined him.
Something clicked in Jungkook's mind and he realised the full extent of what he had done. But he wasn't horrified of regretful. He was amazed at himself. That was such a stupid thing to do and Jungkook found it so funny. He was a little embarrassed and covered his face with his hands, still giggling like he was high. Namjoon and Hoseok walked over to make sure he was okay while Seokjin made some joke to the audience.
Yoongi and their fans noticed Jungkook's slightly messed state. Jungkook did not know what his emotions were doing. He was happy, angry, in love, annoyed, amused and surprised all at once. He began to tear up and before he knew it, he was crying. Yoongi gently pushed Namjoon and Hoseok away before kissing Jungkook lightly again and hugging him tightly. Jungkook wrapped his arms around Yoongi and buried his head in his shoulder. He was still laughing but it probably looked like he was crying from the audience's perspective.
A chant rose up from somewhere near the back of the audience and made Jungkook look up. "Yoonkook! Yoonkook! Yoonkook!" Over and over as it took over the crowd. Jungkook smiled at Yoongi, who smiled back.
"Hey, guys, can we wrap this up? We've got a show to do and you've got plenty of opportunities to be the most adorable thing I've ever seen at home," Hoseok said into his mic. The audience cheered as they kissed one more time and then joined the others in the middle of the stage. Taehyung groaned loudly,
"Oh no, they're gonna be cute at home." Jimin giggled,
"Don't get me wrong, you two, that's loveable as hell, but I agree with V; that's probably gonna get annoying after a while." Jungkook raised his mic, intending to retaliate, but his voice cracked from crying/laughing. The audience shouted their support as the others laughed at him. Yoongi held his hand tighter and winked at him, making him smile. "See what I mean? That's going to be constant," Jimin said. Yoongi just looked at him and said,
"You don't have to watch, Jimin-ssi. Just turn around and we'll be cute without you." The audience whooped in agreement and Jimin raised his hands in surrender. Namjoon spoke up,
"Sorry, can I point something out?" Everyone nodded. "The next song is 24/7=Heaven. Is it just me or is that perfect?" The audience cheered and the seven of them laughed together. Jungkook didn't let go of Yoongi's hand through the whole song. When they had to dance to Danger, he let go but swiped it back up again soon after. He didn't want to be without him. Ever. For the rest of his life.
