Jungkook's POV

Despite performing our comeback song every single day at different music programme, manager hyung still ordered us to make use of our night, after filming for Music Bank, to practise our dance again.

Before any vigorous exercising – that's how I'll describe our dance – stretching is a much. And so, as all of us have our own stretching methods, we split up and did our warm ups by ourselves.

At this moment, V hyung exclaim's bombarded the entire room, "OMG Jiminie, how can you even bend yourself into two halves?"

Instantly, everybody's eyes landed on Jimin hyung, who had his head resting 'comfortably' on his knee while standing up.

"I'm that flexible taetae."

"Yes, you are." And that comment came from his boyfriend, Yoongi hyung. Okay, everybody knows that Bangtan is kinda well-known for us dirty-minded hyungs, except me of course, and that somehow sounded wrong to them.

"Oh~ is he?" Namjoon smirked followed by a blushing Jin hyung.

JH: Seems like you know him very well, hyung!

SG: Aniyo! Just...just...

RM: *smirking* did you gave Jiminie his birthday present?

SG: Not THAT~

RM: But I heard some moaning yesterday night hyung...

SG: That's probably you doing Jin hyung.

JH: Damn!! Nice way to change topic Yoongi hyung, but sadly Jin hyung was with me actually, cooking I mean.

RM: And that sound came from your bedroom hyung!

"Yah!! Stop!" Jin hyung interrupted before fanning his red face to cool down, "didn't we said to respect their privacy? Jimin and Yoongi are legal now to do anything they want."

"Hyung~" Jimin hyung cried, "That's not really helping us!!"

Okay...that's the end of me eavesdropping their conversation. Who even wants to know if Jimin hyung and Yoongi hyung did that thing last night or not. Who even bothers? And why are they talking about it so openly?

Unable to stand my hyungs dirty minds, I hid myself in the changing room for some quietness. "Chill Jungkook, chill," I whispered. But no, I was already breaking up in cold sweat even before the dance. My head felt light all of a sudden, and that's probably thanks to the explicit content I heard just now.

BTS's POV

"Kookie ah, aren't you resting?" J-hope shouted before taking one chicken wing from the box.

"Aniyo hyung," Jungkook replied, his eyes still glued to the mirror.

For some reason, Jungkook just couldn't master the dance moves today. And thus, he is currently practicing the moves repeatedly to perfect it.

"Kookie ah, you need to take a break first. See, your face is all pale, come and get some chicken to replenish your energy," the leader persuaded.

"Aniyo hyung, I'm not hungry. Just give me five minutes more."

"Hey you seems like you're gonna faint anytime. I'm serious, your steps are unstable!"

Jimin immediately looked up at the stubborn maknae. Indeed, Jungkook's lips were dry and he was continuously blinking his eyes to keep it from closing.

Worried, Jimin went up to Jungkook and attempted to touch his forehead, "Are you sick?"

However, he was coldly rejected by the maknae who simply threw his hyung's hand away. "I'm fine. It's none of your business."

"I'm just trying to make sure that you're fine, why are you being so sensitive?"

"I just don't like people to touch me hyung."

Everybody instantly looked towards the quarreling duo.

Jimin's POV

I made eye contact with Yoongi hyung, who was equally shocked like the others. It was unusual that Jungkook is being so ill-tempered and I know something's wrong with him. To avoid any more questions from the member, I quietly return back to the group and forced out a smile.

Jimin: He's a perfectionist like you know, he wants to master the dance by today.

V: Not surprise at all from this stubborn maknae.

Jin: So let's not bother about him and let him concentrate in perfecting his moves.

I nodded in agreement but deeply inside, I was truly hurt by what he did just now. Why is he treating me like a stranger? Wrong, he's even kinder to a stranger. His attitude towards me is more like hostile and that's really hurtful.

Although I looked as if I was engaged in the conversation while eating the chicken, I was actually looking at Kookie with the corner of my eyes.

His falls, him missing the beat and him forgetting the moves - every moment caused me to want to go up and help but I know clearly that he would definitely reject me like he always do.

After multiple tries, he collapsed on the floor. A few heavy panting before he gulped down a mouth full of water. He wiped his sweat and then got up with the help of a wall. Turning to look at the group, we made eye contact. But before I could do anything further, he rolled his eyes and left the dance studio without a word.

"Kookie!" I shouted before following him behind.

"Wae Jimin? What happened?" Hope hyung asked.

"Errr I'll explain later..." I replied quickly before exiting the room.

"Kookie, wait!!"

Jungkook did not stop walking, or should I say staggering. Instead, he quickened his pace. It was until I grabbed his wrist did he stopped and looked at me with a much paler face.

I placed my hand on his forehead to find it burning hot. "You're having a fever Kookie!!" I cried.

"I know..."

"Why didn't you say?"

"It's not like people will care about me."

"I do!!"

"I don't need your care."

"Hey, stop treating me so coldly."

"Did I?"

"Duh?!? Why are you treating worse than a stranger when I'm here worrying about you?"

"Didn't I told you...avoiding you is the only way for me to forget about you!"

"So did you succeed...in stopping yourself to not love me?"

"I...I refuse to answer that."

"Andwae, this is an answer you owed me at the lamb skewer restaurant."

"My answer ain't important anymore."

"That's means 'no' - you still have feelings for me!"

"So what? Yes, I do still love you. So? Does it make a difference?"

"Then stop being so mean to me!"

"What do you want me to do then? Sticking to you all day? Be your obedient dongsaeng? Or continue to be the third party in your relationship?"

"I...I..."

He stared at me seriously for a few seconds. I swear even Einstein can't come out with a perfect answer for this question. None of the possible answers that came to my mind seems okay. Finally, he got pissed off and said, "I should expected this." He threw my hand away and went straight to the lift.

"Kookie wait! Jungkook, Jeon Jungkook! I'm not yet done talking!" I shouted and placed my hand in the middle of the lift door to prevent it from closing.

I stomped in and pressed the close button before looking at him seriously.

"What do you want now hyung?"

"I want to have a proper conversation with you, to settle our problems."

"Alright. Answer me then. How do you want me to treat you?"

"Like before."

"When? When I was still awkward with you? When I found that I was in love with you? Or when I was your secret lover?"

"Can't you just treat me like the others?"

"Sorry I can't."

"Okay, maybe that's too much for you. But one thing I don't understand...why are you always mad whenever you talk to me? You always have a frown on your face when I'm talking."

"I'm not mad at you hyung, I'm mad at myself. I so f*cking pissed at myself. Why don't I have the ability to control my feelings? Why do I still have feelings for you after so long? Why am I making myself look so pathetic?"

"No kookie! Don't say that."

"No, I should have pushed you away in that karaoke room that day, I shouldn't have let you-"

"So it was true? I wasn't dreaming?!? I DID kiss you!"

"That's not the main point hyung."

"Aniyo, that is! You were crying Kookie, and you continued the kiss."

"So what?"

"You still love me Kookie, you still do!"

"And how about you hyung? Did you forget about me?"

"I...I...I don't know."

"I don't take that as an answer."

"Fine, I admit...I do miss the time when we were together, and that..." I paused and sighed, "was probably the most beautiful moment in my life."

"What's the point of saying that to me now?"

"Please Kookie," I blurted out, my eyes landed on him. His eyes were full of uncertainty, so did mine, and a whole lot of nervousness. "Come back to me, please stop ignoring me. Please...I cannot take it when I see you being so sad."

"What...what do you mean?"

"I...I..." I closed his eyes and sighed, "I want you back."

"M...mwo?"

"I...I still love you...Kookie..."

Still with my eyes shut, I waited for his reply, but it never came. He remained silent. He did not move, he did not reply nor run away. He simply stood there, still looking as pale as ever, as his eyes staring hard at me.

"Fine. Since you want me that much..."

Jungkook slammed me against the side of the lift and pinned me right there. I could feel his firm grip on my shoulders which made me nervous and frightened. 

"Kookie..."

He did not reply. Instead, he came closer and closer to me. His heavy breathing and sweat-drench shirt made him look exceptionally sexy. While my hands, unknowingly reach his waist and grabbed onto his shirt.

"Don't..." I whispered.

"I can't control myself anymore hyung..."

He had both of his hands rested beside my ears, bringing our foreheads close to touch.

He closed his eyes. His breathing were inconsistent, but he still managed to look hella hot. "Push me away now hyung."

"I don't want to..."

"Please..."

"No."

"Please...something bad would happen if you don't."

"I don't care anymore."

I caressed his face and wiped the cold sweats forming at his temple. And now, I was the one who's making the move. I lifted his chin and placed my lips on his lightly. He struggled for a few seconds, after freezing there with his mouth mild opened. 

I took that as a permission to carry on. I, too, had no idea why did I do that, but one thing I know for sure - I don't wanna end it here. 

Closing my eyes to enjoy that precious moment of ours, I could feel his lips curving upwards. And I took that as a permission to bring the kiss to another level.

I extended my tongue further into his while our lips moved along in sync. That soft lips of his that I missed, that thin fabric between us that I used to tear apart.

Time seems to have paused. Hope I wished I could replay this forever. However, good things always come to an end.

The body wall that was used to prevent me from moving just now instantly collapsed onto me. His body felt weak and his hands were extremely cold.

It was then when I realised...

"Argh mianhe, I forgot you were sick."

Kookie shook his head and pushed me away upon hearing that. He touched his lips and looked at us in shock. His eyes darted from side to side as he squeezed his shivering hands.

"Do you need to see a doctor or something?"

"A-aniyo..."

"Then-"

He took one step back and shook his head. "Nothing happened just now..." he blurted out before pushing the open button and dashed out.

"Kookie! Kookie!!" I yelled but he was already nowhere to be seen.
