The final concert in Korea and then abroad they would all have to fly out. This one event was a big deal, as it was special when it came to showcasing their songs from the new album created. It was a concert all the members were willing to sweat for one last time before going out to perform more grandly.

This concert meant a lot, yet, for some reason, Jungkook couldn't focus well.

It had been a busy morning. From the wake-up with you—that was amazing—to the run-in with your father that was unbelievably confused and pissed—that was...not so amazing—to the sweet escape route your mother helped Jungkook with as he left after eating breakfast with your entire family present. To top the fantastic morning off with more awesomeness, your mother and grandmother spoiled him by feeding him out of habit. Did I mention this morning was awesome?

It wasn't until the big schedules hit where all fell onto Jungkook. Sure, he was tired, but the moment he was out here performing for the huge crowd, his attention seemed to always drift to the backstage.

Guess why.

The half-time of the show began and Jungkook rushed back with all the members. They were sweating, breathing hard, and trying to get refreshed as soon as possible before going back on in about 5 minutes.

This involved a new change of clothes, a touch-up in quick makeup, and a refuel of water to keep hydrated.

As Jungkook moved the water bottle slowly to his parched mouth, he found the other members busy switching into new clothing. Smiling over at Lia a quick bit when spotting her staring over at him being disoriented, she seemed to nod in his direction.

Jungkook nodded back, glancing over at Jin who seemed to purposely move over to Lia with his change of clothing. It was obvious to Jungkook that the two of them were playfully flirting, but to the others, the idea of them as a potential couple seemed to carry out obliviously.

Gently smiling when seeing just how happy Jin seemed to be around Lia, Jungkook found his eyes to soften. From the soft lip bites from Lia, to the playful shoves by Jin, all grew very familiar for Jungkook. They reminded Jungkook of him and you...

"Hyung?" Jungkook forced out of his dry mouth, glancing over in the direction of Jimin who was getting into his pants. They seemed to get stuck a little by the area of the dancer's bump, only to have him sigh and change for new ones.

"Ahh, none of these fit over my backside," Jimin mumbled irritated, moving so he could node over for Jungkook to continue with his speaking.

"Have you uh, have you happened to see Y/N anywhere?" Jungkook asked, addressing the cause of his mind being all over the place. You. Jungkook continued, "Y/N said she'd come by to see the concert...then come to the airport?"

"Really?" Jimin asked, completely clueless over this new information. "Well, I haven't seen Y/N, sorry..."

Jungkook forced out a little laugh when seeing a glint of amusement pop out from his hyung's eyes. Swallowing up all the care in the world, Jungkook tossed back the rest of his refreshing beverage before throwing out a thumbs-up in Jimin's direction.

"It's just that," Jungkook formulated a lie in his head, "Namjoon hyung was looking for her."

Jimin saw right through it, a grin fully drabbled on his mouth at this point. "Mhm," he hummed amused, "Namjoon hyung, eh?"

Jungkook placed the most innocent smile on his face as he awkwardly nodded and quickly turned to the racks. Mumbling something about changing, Jungkook saved himself from future teasing as he moved to bury himself in the pants that couldn't cross the walls of the Jibooty.

The time slowed for the impatient maknae, while for the others, time went fast. Soon after those five minutes, BTS were being ushered to run out onto stage again.

Everyone was focused and in their heads, while Jungkook still had his eyes roaming while running towards the stage. He almost fell near the opening of the stage when seeing you softly trying to get your way in with the help of PD Nim. Jungkook grinned easily and immediately when finally getting a glance of your form.

Jungkook's heart skipped a beat when seeing that you were wearing the red hat he gifted you.

Seeing your eyes meet his, he smirked and waved proudly before rushing to follow Yoongi who was the second last to move onto the stage. The maknae watched as you waved back too, but it took him a minute to realize that it wasn't to him, but more so to Yoongi who had beat Jungkook in waving at you.

Jungkook rolled his eyes, laughing before playfully shoving at Yoongi to run faster on the stage. The maknae knew Yoongi was aware of what he just pulled by the way a content grin formed on Yoongi's face. Shoving his hyung again, Jungkook laughed before going fully-in with the second-half of the performance.

Jungkook found himself singing his heart out. He put all his energy into every song, this to make the fans have a great show, but to also impress you that lingered backstage. The maknae didn't pull this on purpose, as he seemed to unconsciously want you to be proud of his time out here...so he worked extra hard in making that a reality.

Songs to songs, he was focused.

But the moment 'House of Cards' was about to start, Jungkook heard the fans hollering and screaming for the begin. This song was added as a little special for the fans, as it wasn't an addition for their new album. A treat or not, fans were running insane for it, typically creating adrenaline to pulse through Jungkook's veins.

He was ready to sing.

But was he focused on the performance? Nope, not at all.

Jungkook's mind went complete 'disappearing act' on him the moment he saw your form by the side of the stage. Innocently, you had climbed a bit of the stairs backstage so that you could have your eyes better view the boy's performing. This caused Jungkook to lose all sane as he found himself singing louder just so he could get your attention...

tto witaerowo tto wiheomhae

So bad (why) urin yeah

Your eyes widened when spotting the maknae smugly moving too close towards the end of the stage. Eyes escorting towards the rest of the members that were too busy singing to the fans around the arena, none paid attention to Jungkook who was near close to collapsing and eating ARMY bombs with a side of dirt.

Seeing him cutely winking over at you before he finished his line, you swore internally, glancing around for anyone else apart form you that could help. But instead, it was just you. Without hesitation or crossing yourself with other possibilities before taking this leap of faith, you bolted.

You bolted so quick across the stage, passing a confused Taehyung, you could see the panic stream into the maknae's eyes as the backside of his heel seemed to tip over the edge of the stage.

"Jungkook!"

The crowd was screaming for different reasons now. All slowly noticing Jungkook about to fall over, there were "oos" and sudden curses that shouted through the arena.

Your scream seemed to alert Hoseok who was loitering around Jungkook. Seeing the man's eyes widen as he also started to dart over to help you from having Jungkook meet his fall, the both of you managed to grab onto different parts of the maknae before he could topple over.

Hoseok took hold of his arm, while you tugged over at his shirt he had on.

Pulling the maknae onto the stage, there were still worried screams in the audience, while there were a few screams of horror when some recognized your face through the screens.

Before Jungkook could thank you in any form, you were already being dragged back by Jin and Namjoon who blocked you from most fans.

There was confusion, concern, and disbelief in the crowd. A mixture of emotions—all Jungkook heard when realizing what had happened.

Swallowing, the song was still playing as they all managed to finish successfully.

...for the rest of the concert, Jungkook didn't let his mind go out of focus. The maknae was alert always.

-

"I see you only needed an almost plummet to your death as a wakeup call," you teased Jungkook, watching as the other members seemed to laugh when huddled in the vehicle.

Parked outside the airport, all the members were exhausted from the show but ready to leave. Even at such a time at night, fans were crowded and ready to see Bangtan move from the outside and towards the terminals. Fans were everywhere around the vans, moved away by security that held a path out for the members to proceed through.

"I guess so," Jungkook chimed, smiling a little over at your teasing expression when seeing how easy-going you were around the members and the staff. It was refreshing to see.

"Well, it was nice saving him with you," Hoseok popped out, letting out a screech of excitement before saying his goodbye. The man tapped playfully at the top of your red cap, with that, he jumped out of the van to be met with fans that screamed instantly.

Taehyung moved so quick, lips moving to quickly peck at your cheek before he also jumped out with his bags.

More loud screams.

One by one, all the members said their goodbyes and rushed out.

Jin poked your cheek and left.

Jimin followed Taehyung's ambush as he kissed your cheek and left as well. Jimin did it more awkwardly and shyly however, not sure over what boundaries he might be breaking.

Namjoon took a moment, awkward when nodding over at you. Your eyes narrowed when seeing his behaviour as he picked over at his bags.

"You alright?"

"Y-Yeah," Namjoon said, smiling nervously.

It took you a moment to realize why the man was so distant. Trying not to snort on yourself, you leaned in and kissed the leader's cheek as a goodbye. "Don't worry," you said gently, knowing exactly why he was uncomfortable, "I forgave you a long time ago."

Namjoon tried not to showcase his smile at that. Simply nodding and bowing again, the leader hopped out too.

Screams and shouts for his name as he left.

Yoongi nodded in your direction, slowly picking over at his bags. He was a sloth when it came to purposely taking his time. Yoongi loved making Jungkook uneasy, and what better than lingering in the same frame of seats with an oblivious you mixed in the middle.

"Take care of yourself, yeah?" Yoongi cooed out, staring over at you sweetly.

"I will," you said, chuckling before moving your hand out for the man to slap, "You take care of yourself too. Eat the vitamins we bought together."

Yoongi grinned hugely at that, wiggling his brows over at Jungkook who rolled his eyes.

"I'll think of you when I eat them," Yoongi laughed out, not able to take himself seriously as he prepared for his jump now.

Jungkook lightly tapped at Yoongi's butt, slowly pushing the man out. Laughing loudly when Yoongi glared playfully over in his direction, the hyung urged for Jungkook to make it quick as well.

Jungkook sighed, smiling hugely before glancing over at you.

Your eyes were soft when seeing the maknae give his all with just a glimpse of the sight. Seeing his chin crinkle a little when his lips puckered in your direction, you watched him lean in. Gently letting your hand awkwardly move over his chest, you pushed his confused form back when pointing over at PD Nim that seemed to be awkwardly staring forward.

Jungkook pursed his lips, ears growing red.

"Hyung, could you uh—"

Before Jungkook could finish, PD Nim was already out the van's door, mumbling a "five minutes" before he left to give Jungkook and you some time alone.

You giggled at that, watching as Jungkook's head whipped so fast over in your direction. Lips puckering and eyes sealing shut, you found your lips to eagerly meet the maknae that kissed you shyly with all he had.

Whining a soft bit when seeing him move away from you too quickly, you watched as he was about to jump out himself. Taking his hand, you pulled him back. His big eyes widened a little, an amused smile on his face however.

"I asked you this the first time I met you," Jungkook mumbled, smiling into your kisses as you moved to lean over his sitting form, "How are you so strong?"

You bit his bottom lip playfully as an answer, eyes teasing when seeing his blushing form before you. You knew this was all new to the maknae, and it simply made you not want to stop. I find his red ears cute.

"I don't know," you chimed out, voice quiet as you slowly allowed your one leg to move over his thighs.

Jungkook's blushing form twitched a little when you successfully sat onto his lap. Seeing him struggle in trying to place his hands on you, you couldn't help but softly chuckle before taking his hands and lacing your fingers into them. Swooping your head down, your hat tipped up when hitting his forehead. Nothing came between the two of you in that moment as you let your lips fit perfectly with his again.

"You're—"

You pecked his lips.

"Going—"

You pecked his lips about twice more.

"For two weeks," you giggled before kissing him again.

Jungkook was no longer blushing, his face in a soft smile as he watched you playfully tease him with your mouth.

"Hm," he hummed out, his lips remaining cutely puckered as he waited for each peck you gave him.

"And—"

Kiss.

"You better not—"

Kiss.

"Forget me, or else."

You kissed him but laughed against his lips right after finishing.

Jungkook let your hands go before he confidentially allowed his arms to wrap around your waist that was closely hugging above his lap.

"Nothing will make me forget you," he softly sighed out, staring at every bit of your face. It's as if he was memorizing it, trying to get used to not seeing you almost everyday...

"I'll give you something..." you trailed off, biting your lip, "Something to remember me by for now."

Jungkook's brows furrowed, eyes still gentle however.

"Like what?"

You grinned. Pecking his lips one last time, you swopped your head down over to Jungkook's cheek before sloppily moving your lips over to the croak of his neck. Sucking, nibbling and teasing, your lips marked the maknae's skin.

You didn't wish to ever stop when hearing his breath softly hitch, while also feeing his hands grip over at your hips as you teased him.

"Ow!" Vee chimed, slapping over at her neck as she sat into the car with you. "Stupid mosquito," she mumbled, rubbing a bit at her neck before moving her head to see you happily moving into the passenger seat.

"Thanks for coming to pick me up," you sighed out, feeling the slight sinking in your stomach when realizing that Jungkook truly was gone for a few weeks now.

If you were to ask yourself months back for him to leave, you'd be more than thrilled. But now, in this time, it had hurt to see him jump out of that van at the airport. But you knew it had to happen, so you didn't complain.

"Sure," Vee mumbled, having trouble staring over at you.

Your brows furrowed a little, watching as the normally bubbly woman seemed to be with sulking shoulders. It was similar to the times they sat around at the benches of school and Vee hid away behind her lies...the lies that physically and emotionally hurt the woman to hide from you. Sighing internally, you saw right through her in that moment.

"Spill, what is it that you're hiding."

Vee was taken aback at that.

"Wha—"

"Don't play me bish," you chuckled out, moving your fingers out in circular motions. You urged for her to continue.

"...Just worried about the party I've got to rob with Jae," she sighed out, somewhat lying as she refrained from mentioning your brother's existence.

"You sure? I don't want you lying to me again after the last time," you murmured, eyes narrowing, "I'm always here Vee, you can be honest with me no matter what."

Vee stared at you for what felt like the longest time.

Twitching uncomfortably, you waited for her to reply or speak in any form but she didn't. Instead, she turned the car on and rolled away from the BigHit building before her. She didn't say a word, and for some reason, you didn't either. Mostly because I'm slightly freaked out right now.

"Come with me."

"I'm sorry?" you asked, confused over the sudden blurt of words.

"Come with me to the party...I'm hiding something from you—that I admit I am," Vee spoke out, completely exhausted as she spoke. "and I don't want our friendship to go to further shit, so...come with me to the party and you'll see the truth for yourself."

You grew slightly worried at that. Something seemed off...

"What exactly are you hiding?" you tried, becoming curious, "What's going to be at the party?"

Vee pursed her lips, moving her fingers calmly over the steering wheel as the car turned a corner.

"A lot of confusion," Vee admitted gently, "...but you'll also get answers regarding your brother's death."

Your mouth went ajar at that, feeling like a sudden harsh hand had met the side of your face.

"What?" you breathed out, already highly puzzled.
