But what happens when tensions run high after a match and Jungkook throws your support back in your face? Angst/fluff. Inspired by Jungkookâs Instagram post earlier today!
Cheers erupted from all around as the fan-favorite fighter landed a knock-out punch to the long-time reigning champion, effectively knocking him to the ground with no signs that he would be getting up any time soon. It seemed it was time to crown a new champion.
It always astounded you how die-hard these boxing fans were. You would think these matches were a life-or-death affair. Well, you backtracked in your own mind. In a way they were. The fights were always unpredictable. Injuries happened all of the time, some including career-ending injuries. Of course, safety regulations had been updated in recent years to minimize the chance of this happening, but still. It was a dangerous sport and things happened.
Looking around at the screaming crowd, you never in a million years would have thought you would be at an event like this. Of course, there were a lot of things that had changed in your life after a certain Jeon Jungkook entered it.
Growing up, you had always been a quiet, meek individual. Violence was not something you approved of or enjoyed. Movies that took the action a little too far were even too much for you, which was why everyone in your life was surprised when you began dating the rookie boxer who was quickly rising in popularity.
You hadnât known who Jungkook was or what he did for a living when you had first met. It wasnât until a few dates in that he finally opened up about what he actually did. He had been so endearing that night too, so afraid he would lose you once you found out how he really spent his weekends.
In all honesty, you had surprised yourself with how easily you took the news. Of course, it terrified you to think of someone trying to harm him for sport. You were an anxious mess during his matches, flinching every time a punch or kick was landed to his body. Fortunately, being ridiculously talented as he was at everything, those instances were rare. It was no surprise he was so popular. He was quick and he was good. He was able to see a fist flying his way, dodge it easily, and land a strike of his own before his opponent could even realize what had happened.
It took quite a while before you had finally mustered up the courage to come to one of his matches. Once everything was out in the open, Jungkook had been so excited for you to see him in action, to look out at the crowd and see you right there cheering him on. You had understandably been very hesitant, however, not wanting to see him hurting and also not wanting to see him hurting others. Jungkook became an entirely different person when he was in the ring. The first time you had seen it, your mind had trouble connecting the deadly warrior pummeling men to the ground with your soft bunny of a boyfriend who would hold you as if you would break and who would pout at you if you had forgotten to go the store and pick up the banana milk he so dearly loved.

It took quite a while before you had finally mustered up the courage to come to one of his matches.

You had understandably been very hesitant, however, not wanting to see him hurting and also not wanting to see him hurting others. Jungkook became an entirely different person when he was in the ring.

âSo, whatâd you think, baby?â Jungkook had questioned hesitantly after that first match. He had known intense sports, such as boxing, were not your thing. He had been excited at first to share this part of himself with you, but after having looked over towards your seat once his match had finished and seeing the horrified expression on your face, he was terrified that it may have been too much for you - that this lifestyle of his was too much for you and you wanted no further part of him.
You slowly took a step closer to him, reaching up to caress his cheek. This had been one of those rare instances where his opponent was able to get the drop on him. A painful looking bruise was already beginning to blossom on his jaw. You gently traced your fingers over the area, wishing you had the ability to heal every hurt that touched him.
âDoes it hurt?â You questioned, eyes anxiously boring into his own.
âNo,â he assured quietly, resting his hand over your own, keeping it in place on his jaw. âCan hardly even feel it now.â
You nodded, not quite knowing what else to say. You were proud of him, of course. Jungkook was the type of person that gave 110% in everything that he did. He never did anything half-way, and that went for boxing as well. He was always at the gym, always training, constantly watching other matches to pick up different techniques and learn as much as he possibly could. And that hard work had clearly paid off - shortly after the match had begun, it was pretty apparent to you that the other fighter was no match for your Jungkook.
âYou still with me, baby?â Jungkook questioned, pulling you out of your thoughts, bringing your focus back on him.
His question was targeted towards the present, towards your attention on him in that very moment; however, both of you knew the deeper meaning he was too afraid to speak out loud. Were you still his girl? Did you still want him after seeing him essentially beat another man down to the ground?
âYeah, Kookie,â you murmured, pressing up onto your toes to brush your lips gently against his own. âIâm still with you.â
It had been over a year since that first match and although this lifestyle didnât completely scare you off, it did take quite some time to get adjusted to. It wasnât until a few months later that you were finally able to watch his matches without having your eyes closed for the majority of the time. Even now though, whenever a particularly rough punch was landed, you couldnât help but flinch back and cover your eyes, wishing the two of you were at home safe, where you could wrap Jungkook in your arms, protecting him from angry fists swinging his way.
Nevertheless, you loved Jungkook and this is what he loved to do. The two of you had had extensive conversations about his boxing career and both had agreed this was not a forever job. Not only was it physically taxing on him as well as emotionally taxing on you, but it also meant for little alone time. If he wasnât at the gym training, he was traveling for matches or press tours or whatever other event his manager deemed necessary he attend. The two of you made it work, but it was hard.
And not only was the limited time together difficult, but the environment at these matches was not the greatest. Most of the attendants at these matches were men who ended up getting drunker and drunker as the fights progressed, leading to tussles and outbreaks in the crowd as well as in the ring. Jungkook did his best to seat you in an area where you would be safe and away from the craziest of the fans, which generally meant you sat with his team near his corner of the ring. This was normally not an issue as you had become pretty good friends with his team and their significant others. However, there were a few members of the group that were a little more crass than you were used to.
These individuals thankfully were not at all of the matches, generally sticking to those hosted at the arena near where you all lived. It wasnât that they were bad people, they just tended to have a very tough, show no weakness type of attitude, which was well and fine, but what you really disliked was the way they made Jungkook act. As you had mentioned earlier, your boyfriend was the softest, sweetest individual when he was around you. You often likened him to a bunny due to his gentle nature and the adorable wrinkle his nose made whenever he smiled. However, when he was around the two biggest antagonists of the group, Ji-Hoon and Hyun-Woo, he became a little colder, more stand-offish. You knew it wasnât intentional, but you couldnât help but feel slightly disregarded in these instances - like your boyfriend was ashamed of you.
However, the way Jungkook treated you and adored you in private was almost enough to make you forget those rare moments in the back room after these matches. So, you had never brought it up, something that proved to be a mistake on your part. Maybe if you would have been up-front in the beginning you could have avoided the big blow-up between Jungkook and yourself after this particular match.
âŠ
âThereâs my girl!â Jungkook exclaimed, clearly in high spirits after the victory tonight. This was a match he had been eagerly anticipating and preparing for for months now. It was a relief to have it over and to have won so decidedly.
You couldnât help but match his energy, despite feeling slightly uncomfortable by the presence of the two trainers - Ji-Hoon and Hyun-Woo. Thankfully their presence was more rare due to the high volume of clients they took in to train. This just so happened to be one of the unlucky nights they happened to be in attendance.
Pushing those feelings aside, wanting to celebrate your boyfriend and congratulate him on his hard work, you set a smile on your face, quickly making your way into Jungkookâs outstretched arms, allowing him to wrap his arms around you and lift you up in the air.
âJungkook!â You squealed, clinging on to him as you laughed. âPut me down!â
Obeying your request, Jungkook set you back on your own two feet, arms still firmly wrapped around your waist before leaning down to capture your lips in a searing kiss.
Hoots and hollers filled the room, causing you to blush and gently pull your face away, breaking the kiss.
Jungkook grinned at you, leaning down once more to place a soft kiss on your nose. âDid you see me tonight, baby?â He asked, eyes alight.
This right here was exactly why you never said anything against his passion. As much as you didnât understand it, you could never rob Jungkook of the joy he got with boxing.
âI did,â you replied, smiling at the man in front of you and the excitement that was exuding from his very being. âYou were great out there. Very fearsome.â
He smirked, a different expression taking possession of his face as he eyed you slyly. âOh yeah?â
You nodded, hands coming up to grip the front of the sweaty t-shirt that he had thrown on after the match had ended. âDefinitely,â you affirmed.
Before either of you could continue your conversation, which may have been a blessing in disguise given the predatory look Jungkook was currently throwing your way, his two best friends - Taehyung and Jimin - entered the room and began excitedly chattering about the match, recounting every punch, kick, etc.
Jungkook smiled at his friends, joining in on their excited conversation after guiding his arm around your shoulder and pulling you close into his side. You rested your head against his chest, thankful to be back in his arms, thankful that the fights were over for now and that no injuries were sustained on his part.
You continued to listen, more than content to be under the heavy weight of Jungkookâs muscular arm, occasionally contributing to the conversation, but mostly just enjoying being in his presence. It wasnât until the conversation took a turn towards their upcoming plans that you zeroed back in, unsure on whether you were hearing correctly or not.
âThe match in Vegas is going to be insane!â Ji-Hoon exclaimed. âI canât believe itâs already almost here! We leave this Friday!â
You stiffened, distinctly remembering Jungkook telling you that he would not be attending that match. Vegas was like the Super Bowl, but for boxing. The fiercest of the fierce fought there. You had watched a few of the matches on the couch with Jungkook, always trying to hide your horror at how brutal the fighters could be. Jungkook was good, donât get you wrong, but he had never participated in a match of that magnitude before. Considering how rapidly his career was advancing, you knew the day would someday come when he would be invited to those more elite matches, but he had specifically told you he was not going to the upcoming one when you had asked a few weeks ago.
âBunny?â You questioned, the adorable pet-name you usually reserved for when the two of you were alone slipping out in your shock. âYou told me you wouldnât be attending Vegas this time?â
Jungkookâs cheeks lit up a furious red as laughter resounded throughout the room.
âBunny?!â Hyun-Woo howled, slapping his thigh as he doubled over in laughter.
âOf all the cutesy nicknames! Bunny?â Ji-Hoon bellowed.
Jungkook could feel his embarrassment as well as his anger rising. With his emotions still heightened from the match and the laughter filling the room at his expense, Jungkook didnât give himself time to think or consider the consequences of his actions as he wrenched himself out of your grip, scowling down at you.
You flinched as you took in your boyfriendâs expression. You had never seen such angry eyes from him directed towards you. It caused you to flinch back, not sure what to do or how to act in this situation.
Jungkookâs heart skipped a beat at the sight of your fearful expression. He hated to see you upset; however, the anger and embarrassment in his own head clouded his judgement and didnât let him realize that he was the cause of your fear and sadness in that moment.
âDonât call me that,â he spat out, angry at the laughter of those around him, just wanting it to stop.
âOhohoo!â The two instigators exclaimed, doing absolutely nothing to help the situation. At this point, everyone else in the room had picked up on the tension emanating from Jungkook and the tears that were beginning to well up in your eyes. Considering the sport they were all involved in, they were no stranger to anger and violence and raised voices; however, they had never seen Jungkook so much as even look at you with anything other than the biggest heart eyes. No one could really quite believe the words that had just left Jungkookâs mouth, much less yourself.
âJungkook, I ââ you started, not quite knowing what to say.
âSave it,â he retorted. âYouâve done enough.â
You watched in disbelief as your boyfriend stalked out of the room, grabbing his jacket on the way out, not casting so much as a glance back at your downcast figure.
The room was extremely quiet, an uncomfortable silence filling the air as no one quite knew what to say. Finally, Jimin approached you, placing a gentle hand on your arm. âCâmon Y/N, let me take you home.â
You followed along robotically, still trying to make sense of the last five minutes of your life. You had known Jungkook was a private person and liked to keep the intimate details of your relationship between the two of you, but you had never imagined he would react this way to a simple pet-name.
A couple stray tears escaped, running down your cheeks.
âWhy donât we stop for some ice cream?â Taehyung offered, having followed you and Jimin out of the room. âGet our mind off things, hmm?â
You offered a weak smile in return. âYeah,â you agreed, wiping the fallen tears with the sleeve of your sweater. âLetâs go.â
âŠ
Jungkook paced back and forth in the living room of your shared apartment, running his hands through his hair in frustration. Where were you??
He knew it was completely his own fault that you werenât there with him, right by his side, safe and sound. He had completely lost it earlier and he had absolutely no excuse for treating you the way that he did. Not only had he yelled at you in front of everyone and made you cry, but he had lied to you about the Vegas match. He was in deep trouble, if you werenât breaking up with him over this, that is. His heart twisted as he sucked in a shuddering breath. He couldnât lose you. Not like this.
He had been frantically trying to call your number for the past hour now, only to be met by your voicemail. He was just getting ready to try one more time when he heard the lock of the front door clicking.
âY/N?â He called, head turning towards the sound. âBaby?â
You stepped through the front door; expression unimpressed as you gazed at him. Earlier you had been sad at his words, but now that you had had time to take a step back and think, you were angry. He had absolutely no right to treat you the way that he did.
âAre you alright?â He questioned, taking long strides towards you, but stopping in his tracks when you took a step back, distancing yourself further from him. He knew he deserved it, but it still broke his heart. You had never once intentionally distanced yourself from him. The two of you were usually adjoined at the hip. Due to his crazy traveling schedule, you were most often found glued to his side, arms wrapped around one another whenever you were together. This space was not something either of you were used to.
âIâm fine,â you responded, toeing your shoes off and placing your keys on the hook near the door. âJimin and Taehyung took me out after you left,â you explained, walking past him into the bedroom to change for the night. The day had completely sucked any energy you had had right out of you. All you wanted in that moment was to go to bed and try to forget this horrible evening.
âY/N, wait,â Jungkook pleaded, reaching out to grab ahold of your hand. He took it as a positive sign that you didnât immediately rip your hand out of his grip.
âIâm so sorry,â he apologized, taking a tiny step closer to you as he tried to convey just how sorry he was. âI donât know what came over me, I never should have spoken to you like that.â
âNo, you shouldnât have,â you responded, eyes cold.
This was somehow worse than your anger â this icy indifference. Jungkook had been prepared for your wrath â for well-deserved yelling and anger. He was; however, unprepared for the defeated look in your eyes.
âSweetheart?â He prompted, knowing there was something you werenât saying. Deciding to push his luck, he gently reached out to grasp your face, large hands caressing your jaw.
The gentleness in his eyes is what finally made you break down. âAre you ashamed of me?â You cried, looking down as the tears once again began to flow freely down your face, leaving Jungkook to stare at you in horror, hating himself for making you feel this way. He wished he could go back in the ring right now and just let his opponent pummel him. He deserved it for making you feel this way. You were the best thing to ever happen to him. How could he let you ever doubt that?
âBaby, no! No, of course not,â he protested, grip tightening on your cheeks as he brought your eyes up to his own. âI love you so, so much,â he promised, urging you to believe the words coming from his mouth.
âI am a complete and total idiot,â he admitted. âThat is what tonight was about. The guys were laughing at me and that triggered something within me that made me lash out. I know that is no excuse for my actions, but that is all it was. Never ever have I been ashamed of you. I love you. You lit up my entire world when you came into my life.â
His thumbs were softly stroking your cheeks as his eyes bored into your own, urging you to believe the words coming out of his mouth.
âI love the cute nicknames that you have for me,â he promised. âItâs an honor to be your bunny and to be loved by you. I canât think of anything better than that. All of the money, trophies, whatever donât even compare because Iâve already won the greatest thing that will ever happen to me.â
A small smile began to appear on your face, giving Jungkook a sliver of hope that he hadnât completely messed things up with you. Well, at least not yet.
âIâm sorry for speaking to you that way, baby. You didnât deserve that. And I promise I will never treat you that way again. I will never again put myself in a position where I could lose you,â he vowed, choking on his words as his own tears now began to fall down his face. âI never want to see you scared of me again,â he whispered, eyes haunted as he remembered the expression on your face as you had looked at him back in the locker room. âI never want to see you back away from me like that again. I need you close to me, always.â
âOh, Kookie,â you cried, throwing your arms around his neck and burying your face in his chest, allowing the both of you to let out the heavy emotions from the night and be comforted by the otherâs presence.
âI love you so much, Y/N,â he murmured into your neck, arms tightening their hold around you as if he were afraid you would slip right through his grip. âPlease donât ever doubt that.â
âI love you too, Jungkook,â you sighed, feeling the tension and sadness of the evening slowly leaving your body as you rested in his embrace. âSo much.â
âOne more thing,â he announced, pulling away slightly so he could look you in the eye. âI promise I didnât lie to you about Vegas. When you asked me about it, I truly wasnât going. But one of the fighters sustained an injury and wasnât able to compete and they asked me to fill in. I was going to tell you, I promise. I just didnât know how to tell you. I know youâre not fond of those fights.â
You smiled, relieved to know he hadnât outright lied to you.
âIâm only not a fan because I love you so much and Iâm just scared something is going to happen to you.â
Jungkook smiled, leaning down to place a kiss to the top of your head. âI know, sweetheart, I know. Iâm not gonna let anything happen to me, though. Not when Iâve got my best girl waitinâ for me to take her out after.â
You rolled your eyes at his attempt of humor. However, his distraction worked.
âWe didnât even get to go out to our usual place tonight,â you pouted, frowning up at him.
âI know, baby,â he sighed. âI promise Iâll make it up to you, though.â
You grinned, a mischievous glint forming in your eyes. âI donât know,â you sighed dramatically. âI had quite a lot of fun with Jimin and Tae. Think I might make that my new tradition,â you smirked. âAt least they donât yell at me.â
Jungkook glared at you. âYou will do no such thing,â he admonished, arms tightening around you as if you actually would ditch him to make other plans.
âI donât know,â you smiled. âThey were very ââ
Jungkook didnât wait to see what you were going to say before he surged forward, hands once again coming up to cup your face as he crashed his lips onto yours, ensuring you forgot every other name except his own.
A few moments later, the two of you pulled apart, gasping for air.
âYou still with me, sweetheart?â He asked, forehead leaning against your own, big doe eyes staring down at you.
Smiling, you chose not to answer him verbally. Instead, pressing forward to connect your lips together once more. Yeah, you were still with him.
Summary: When Jungkook gets hurt on tour, requiring stitches and needing to sit out for a few performances, youâre there to comfort and reassure him, no matter how much he tries to push you away for trying. Mostly fluff, slight angst!
A/N: Just a little idea I had after seeing the behind-the-scenes video of when Jungkook cut his heel while on tour. I just wondered what it would be like for his girlfriend to see him in pain and how she would respond to him insisting on performing while still clearly hurt. Hope you enjoy!
Groaning, you rolled over, burying your face deeper into your pillows at the sound of the obtrusive ringtone sounding off much too early in the morning. Glancing at the alarm clock next to you, you were fully prepared to ignore the unwelcome caller after seeing what an ungodly time in the morning it was. Â However, your attitude quickly changed and your heart began racing after remembering that your idol boyfriend was currently on tour in Europe, often resulting in sporadic calls due to the constantly changing time zones.
Nevertheless, you had just spoken to him before heading to bed that night. He knew that you were sleeping, and as such, wouldnât call unless something was had happened. Concern growing, you turned on the bedside lamp, heart dropping when you saw the caller ID. Jimin. You knew that your boyfriendâs fellow BTS member wouldnât be calling, especially at this hour, unless something was very wrong.
âHello? Jimin?â You answered warily, bracing yourself for the worst.
âY/N,â he answered, voice tight, which did absolutely nothing to ease your anxiety. âHi. How are you?â
âIâll be honest, Jimin, not great,â you snorted humorlessly. âI know you wouldnât be calling me unless something happened. Whatâs wrong?â
Despite the somber mood that had plagued Jiminâs mind for the last few hours since the accident, he couldnât hold in the slight chuckle that escaped his throat. He shouldâve known that you wouldnât have been fooled by his not so successful attempt at nonchalance. You were already a very bright girl, but you were even more sharp when it came to Jungkook. The two of you had been dating for the last few years now and Jimin had never seen anything like your relationship. You and Jungkook seemed to have this unspoken understanding and were so in tune with each other, that although he mostly found it sweet, sometimes he found himself a little creeped out by just how well the two of you were able to sense such small shifts in the otherâs demeanor.
âCanât get anything past you, Y/N,â Jimin finally responded, reaching his hand up to rub the back of his neck, mulling over how best to break the news in order to cause you the least amount of worry possible. âThere was something that happened,â Jimin finally admitted, quickly continuing after hearing your sharp intake of breath. âHeâs going to be absolutely fine, but he is going to need a few stitches.â
âWhat happened?â You demanded, not yet satisfied with the amount of information you had been given.
Pairing: Taehyung x Reader, Brother!Jungkook  x Reader
Warnings: None!Â
Word Count: 5.8k+
Summary: You are Jungkookâs younger sister who is finally able to come for a visit to see your brother and meet his fellow bandmates for the very first time. What happens when a certain member takes a special interest in you? How will your brother take the news?Â
âI think youâve scrubbed that quite enough,â Taehyung muttered to Jungkook as he watched the younger member vigorously wipe a towel back and forth along their dining table.
Jungkook grunted in acknowledgement, yet continued on with his task, determined to get every last speck of dirt, grease, and splattered food off of the table in time for his baby sister to arrive.

Summary: You are Jungkookâs younger sister who is finally able to come for a visit to see your brother and meet his fellow bandmates for the very first time. What happens when a certain member takes a special interest in you? How will your brother take the news?Â
âI think youâve scrubbed that quite enough,â Taehyung muttered to Jungkook as he watched the younger member vigorously wipe a towel back and forth along their dining table.
Jungkook grunted in acknowledgement, yet continued on with his task, determined to get every last speck of dirt, grease, and splattered food off of the table in time for his baby sister to arrive.
Well, technically you werenât his baby sister as you were only one year younger than the famous singer, yet in Jungkookâs eyes you would always be his baby sister. The two of you had been impossibly close growing up, not fighting like normal siblings, but instead glued to one anotherâs side. Due to your close relationship, it had been hard on the both of you when Jungkook had moved to Seoul in order to pursue his dreams. As the supportive sister you were, you of course cheered him on in everything he did, but neither of you could deny how hard it was being away from one another. While Jungkook had gone the artistic route in pursuing music, you had always been very serious about your studies. Your lifelong dream had always been to be a doctor and you were now on that path, in your third year of undergraduate education. With this being a vital year for your med school applications and Jungkookâs having his normally hectic schedule, the two of you rarely had opportunity to see one another. However, you had one week before your next semester was about to begin and the boys miraculously had a bit of time off as well, hence why Jungkook was obsessively cleaning in order to ensure everything was perfect for the arrival of his baby sister.
âSeriously, JK,â Taehyung continued. âSheâs your sister. She isnât going to care about how spotless the table is.â
âHow would you know?â Jungkook retorted. âYouâve never met her.â
It was true. In all their years together as a band, the boys had never met Jungkookâs elusive younger sister. Of course, it wasnât by choice, but merely due to your always conflicting schedules. The boys had heard story after story of Jeon Y/N from their maknae, but hadnât yet had the opportunity to meet you for themselves, which was why all of the members were excited for this particular visit.
It was no secret that Jungkook was the adored youngest brother of BTS and as such, they boys were curious about the girl who was such a big part of Jungkookâs life.
âNo, I havenât,â Taehyung admitted. âBut you always talk about how similar the two of you are and I know you, so based off of that knowledge, I can make a pretty good guess that she is going to be too excited to see you to give a damn about the state of our table.â
Jungkook smirked, finally letting the rag down and stopping his compulsive movements. âYouâre right, youâre right,â Jungkook admitted. âI just want everything to be perfect,â he sighed. âI havenât seen her in so long and itâs the first time you all will be meeting each other. I just want things to go well.â
âAnd they will,â Jimin said, stepping into the room and making his presence known. With his light dancerâs tread, neither of the boys had heard his approach, something they had thought they ought to be used to by now.
âYou just need to relax,â Jimin continued. âEverything is going to go just fine. Youâre important to Y/N and youâre important to us. We already have something pretty important in common there. The rest will fall into place, trust us.â
Jungkook nodded, throwing a grateful smile Jiminâs way.
âYouâre right,â he sighed. âI know youâre right. Iâm just anxious for her to get here already.â
âSo are we,â Jimin replied. âIf sheâs even half as amazing as youâve been describing all these years, you wonât have to worry about us not getting along, but instead someone falling in love with her.â
The three boys laughed at Jiminâs statement, thinking that possibility was unlikely. You see, all of the boysâ brothers/sisters had become like surrogate siblings to the members. It was bound to happen when you were as close as they all were. Therefore, no one thought it would be any different when Jeon Y/N showed up in town, but oh how wrong they were.
***
âHi there!â Your sweet voice rang out from the entryway as BTSâs driver opened the door to let you in, lugging your suitcase across the threshold as well.
Seven heads immediately turned towards the unfamiliar sound, taking in your appearance, apart from one who bounded over the couch, calling your name before lifting you up in his arms and swinging you around like a wild man.
You laughed, arms snaking around your brother in the same vice-like grip that he had around you.
âItâs definitely been far too long, brother,â you agreed, burrowing your face into his neck and allowing the comforting scent of him fill your nostrils. Growing up, although he was only a year older than you, Jungkook had always been your protector and defender. You idolized your older brother and he took his role as the elder very seriously. Everyone knew not to mess with you, lest inciting the fury of Jeon Jungkook. So, even to this day, the mere presence of your brother was enough to calm you and fill you with feelings of peace and safety.
âNever again,â he sighed out into your hair. While his presence gave you feelings of comfort and protection, yours made him feel at home. As was necessary in order to achieve his dreams, Jungkook had left home at a very young age to move to the big city. It was something that had to be done in order to get him to where he was today, but he couldnât lie and say it had always been easy. There were so many low moments over those first few years where he had constantly questioned his decision to leave home. And even now, after all of those sacrifices had paid off, he still sometimes regretted the time he lost away from his family.
Jungkook gave you one more tight squeeze before finally letting you back down on your own two feet, a giant grin on his face as he regarded you in front of him. Before he could even open his mouth to say anything further, the sound of a throat clearing pointedly behind you removed your attention off of your brother and onto the six boys standing around the living room, all of them regarding you with poorly concealed fascination.
âWell, boys,â you said, taking a step around Jungkook so you could view them all clearly. âItâs nice to finally meet you all. Although, I have to admit, I feel as if I already know you with the amount Jungkook has told me about you all,â you admitted, a shy smile on your face.
âSame here,â the tallest of the boys standing in front of you spoke out. âItâs nice to finally meet you, Y/N. Iâm Namjoon.â
You took a step forward and reached out to grasp the hand he was holding out to you, shaking it firmly before turning to the next member ready to greet you, who you already recognized as Jin.
Making your way down the line, you greeted each member easily, recognizing them not only from details your brother had given you, but also from seeing them on your television 24/7. Although you knew they were just normal boys like your brother, you couldnât help but be a little starstruck by them all. And it certainly didnât help that they were all so devastatingly handsome.
Nevertheless, you somehow managed to keep your composure, shaking their hands and offering sweet smiles. That was, however, until you reached the final member - Kim Taehyung. While the pictures and videos you had seen of the boys hadnât done them justice in real life, Kim Taehyung was something else entirely. You were convinced that you had never met anyone more beautiful than him in your life. His fluffy black locks falling across his forehead. His chiseled features that looked as if they had been carved by an artist. And not to mention his big, earnest eyes that were currently staring at you with the most dumbfounded expression.
âHi, you must be Taehyung,â you were able to get out in a surprisingly smooth tone, holding out your hand to greet him.
Taehyung continued to stare at you, that same expression plastered across his face. It took an elbow to the side from Jimin to get him to snap out of it.
âYes,â he smiled, finally reaching forward to grasp your hand, somehow unable to get anything out besides that one syllable, a fact he would surely be kicking himself later for.
You didnât know if you were imaging it or if was just a coincidental static of electricity, but you could have sworn you felt a current shoot up your arm when your hands made contact. And judging by the look on Taehyungâs face, he had maybe experienced it as well.
Before you could say anything further, you felt Jungkook sling an arm around your shoulders, pulling you into his side. âI have so much planned for us this week!â He exclaimed, thankfully not seeming to have noticed the awkward exchange between you and his bandmate. However, your introduction didnât seem to escape the notice of Jimin who was shooting curious glances in between you and Taehyung, a knowing smirk on his face.
âLet me show you where youâll be sleeping,â Jungkook continued, dragging you down the hallway after him, leaving you to cast one last lingering glance towards the boy whose eyes were still glued to your figure.
***
âOk, spill,â Jimin demanded after busting into Taeâs room unannounced, closing the door behind him.
âSpill what?â Taehyung replied moodily, already having an idea of what Jimin wanted to talk about, but not feeling in the state to address it.
âY/N!â Jimin exclaimed to neither of their surprise. âYou totally have a crush on her.â
âI do not,â the younger boy denied half-heartedly. âI barely know her.â
Jimin rolled his eyes. âAnd when has that ever stopped you before?â
Taehyung glared at his friend, throwing his head back against the pillows of the bed he was resting on, fixing his gaze on the ceiling above.
Jimin sighed, moving to sit at the foot of the bed. âCâmon, Tae. Youâre my best friend. I know you. That wasnât just a casual meeting. I saw the look on your face when you laid eyes on her. You like her.â
âAnd so what if I do?â Taehyung countered. âI canât exactly do anything about it, now can I? Â Sheâs Jungkookâs little sister. He would kill me just for thinking about it. You know how protective he is over her.â
âYes,â Jimin admitted. âBut those are random guys who have approached her in the past that Jungkook disapproved of. Youâre one of his best mates. Itâs different. He knows he can trust you.â
Taehyung didnât answer for a moment, letting Jiminâs words sink in. Somehow, he wasnât as convinced of Jungkookâs acceptance as Jimin seemed to be.
âWe donât even know each other,â he finally let out. âSure thereâs an attraction there, but what if thereâs nothing deeper? I canât risk my friendship with Jungkook based off of initial attraction.â
âI completely agree,â Jimin approved. âWhich is why you have an entire week to get to know her and sort out your feelings.â
Standing up, signaling an end to this out of place and unwanted little pep-talk, Jimin patted Taeâs leg before making his way to the door. Before exiting; however, he paused, looking back at his friend once more. âBut I know you, Tae. You donât catch crushes like this so easily. Youâre not one to obsess over just a pretty face. Iâm willing to bet Y/N is special and youâre only hesitating because you know that too.â
***
âNeed help with that?â A deep voice sounded from behind you, startling you from your determined attempts to reach the coffee mugs on the top shelf.
Whipping around, you were met with none other than Kim Taehyung. After you had settled in that afternoon and Jungkook had showed you where you would be sleeping, all eight of you had sat down for dinner, enjoying the opportunity to get to know one another better. It had been an absolute blast, getting to know these boys who held such a dear spot in your brothers heart. And it certainly didnât hurt that they were possibly the most effortlessly entertaining people you had ever met. You could barely had time to take a bit out of your food in between all of the laughter.
Nevertheless, there was one small downside to the meal and that was the fact that Kim Taehyung did not seem to like you very much. Well, that was at least all you could assume from his behavior. While the other boys were going out of their way to ask you questions about yourself, crack jokes to make you laugh, or telling stories from their early days, Taehyung had remained noticeably silent. He spoke when someone addressed him directly, but other than that, he kept to himself throughout the entirety of the evening. If you hadnât heard so much about each of the members you might have assumed that he merely had a shy personality and was quiet around new people. But thanks to Jungkook, you did know quite a lot about each member and you could distinctly remember your brother regaling you with stories of the shameless and eccentric Kim Taehyung and the plethora of shenanigans he would drag the others into. The two descriptions just did not seem to match up, which left you with one conclusion - Kim Taehyung did not like you, which made it all the more surprising to have him standing before you right now.
âIâm sorry?â You questioned, having been distracted by your thoughts and not quite having heard what he had asked you.
âDo you need any help?â He repeated, gesturing towards the mugs that were just out of your reach.
âOh, umm, sure,â you agreed, stepping away to leave room for him to come nearer.
âHere you go,â he said after effortlessly reaching up and securing one of the mugs for you.
You took it from his grasp, offering a small smile and thanking him, fully expecting him to leave right away.
Yet, he didnât budge. He continued to gaze down at you, an inscrutable expression on his face.
You returned his look, staring back at him with equal amounts of curiosity. You had been so sure there was something there between you two when you had first been introduced, but how he had treated you at dinner time had completely thrown you for a loop. But now here you both were, gazing intensely in each otherâs eyes, a weird electricity charging the room around you.
âIâm sorry,â he finally blurted out, interrupting the silence that had taken hold around you.
You raised your eyebrows in question, not quite understanding what he was apologizing for.
âFor being so rude at dinner,â he clarified. âIâm normally not that quiet, which Iâm assuming you already know if Jungkook talks to you about us as much as he talks to us about you.â
You smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, shyly nodding in confirmation.
Taehyung grinned, confidence overtaking him for the first time since he had laid eyes on you. âYou just seem to make me so nervous,â he admitted, a sweet smile gracing his perfect lips.
âWhat for?â You asked, genuinely confused as to why you would make him nervous. He was a worldwide superstar after all.
âI donât quite know yet,â he confessed. âThereâs just something about you thatâs captured me. Iâd love to find out, though.â He cleared his throat. âIf youâll let me that is,â he added, hoping he wasnât coming across as too forward.
A slow smile spread across your face. âIâd love that,â you agreed, watching a matching grin sprout on Taehyungâs lips in response.
The two of you continued to gaze at each other for another moment, unable to help but wonder if this was the start of a beautiful new relationship.
***
About two days after that late-night conversation in the kitchen with Tae, Jungkook is standing in the living room, eyes suspiciously glued to you and his friend, attempting to figure out why he was so bothered by the way you two were conversing. At a simple glance, there was nothing amiss â just two acquaintances casually chatting over breakfast. However, Jungkook couldnât quite shake the feeling that there was something more going on.
Since you had arrived, you had had opportunities to talk with all of the other boys, thoroughly enjoying the chance to get to know them for yourself rather than through the stories Jungkook would tell you. To no oneâs surprise, you all got along extremely well. You fit into their group seamlessly, leaving them all to wonder why it had taken so long for you all to be introduced.
Jungkook had been so pleased to see you all get along. He loved that the others treated you like their little sister as well, it gave him peace knowing that there were six extra pairs of eyes keeping an eye on you. However, there was something off about your relationship with Taehyung. He hadnât noticed it at first, but the more he watched the two of you interact, the harder it was to ignore. It was very subtle, most likely for his benefit, but he could swear there was a hint of flirtiness in every interaction between the two of you. It also didnât help that Taehyungâs gaze seemed to always be on you and with the most obvious heart eyes as well.
âOh yeah,â Jin said immediately, doing nothing to calm the anxious thoughts running through Jungkookâs head. âTae hasnât taken his eyes off of her since she first arrived.â
Jimin elbowed the oldest boy in the side, eliciting a grunt of indignation and protest.
âWhat Jin means to say,â Jimin began. âIs that they do appear to have more than just platonic feelings for one another.â
Jungkook groaned, throwing his head back against the couch cushions. âHow is that supposed to make me feel any better?â He questioned. âHow do they even know they like each other? They just met two days ago! It canât be that deep!â
âI donât know, Jungkook,â Namjoon interjected, attempting to be the voice of reason in this conversation he could sense was quickly beginning to spiral downwards. âTheyâve gotten to know each other very well in that short span of time. Theyâve pretty much been staying up all night talking with one another. And even when Y/N is hanging out with the rest of us, Tae is always there glued to her side, making her laugh and asking her questions about herself. He seems genuinely interested in her.â
âThen why hasnât he said anything to me?â Jungkook cried out. âIâm her older brother! He should be asking for my permission before doing all this!â
âThis isnât the 1800âs, Kookie,â Jin snorted, shaking his head at the youngest member.
âYeah,â Jimin agreed. âAnd itâs not that easy. Tae knows how much Y/N means to you, Jungkook. And you mean a lot to him as well. I think heâs scared to jeopardize all of that until he knows exactly where he and Y/N stand.â
Jungkook huffed, not liking what the others were saying, but unable to deny the logic behind it. He knew if the roles were reversed, he would probably do things in the exact same way.
âSo what am I supposed to do?â He finally questioned. âSheâs leaving in a few more days. What happens if this all blows up in their faces? What then?â
âWell, thatâs between the two of them,â Namjoon reasoned. âTheyâre both adults. They both know the difficulties that would come if they chose to pursue a relationship. As Y/Nâs brother and Taehyungâs friend, all you can do is support them and be there for them, whether for good or bad.â
Jungkook chewed on his lip, deep in thought. He understood what Namjoon was saying, but he still didnât like it. He knew you were more than capable of looking after yourself, but he couldnât help but worry. And considering the fact that it was his fellow Bangtan member did not help the situation at all. He knew better than anyone how hectic their schedule was. As your own brother, he was rarely able to see you. What would it be like if you and Taehyung started to see one another? Would your relationship survive not only the distance but the intense scrutiny as well? Â He just hoped the two of you considered these possibilities before delving any further in your relationship.
***
Jungkook paced back and forth in the living room of their dorm. It had been ages ago that you and Taehyung had left to grab a cup of coffee and neither of you were answering your phones. His hyungs had merely shrugged off his concerns, assuming the two of you had run off for an impromptu date somewhere, but Jungkook was unable to curb his anxiety.
Finally, having reached the limit of his patience, he grabbed his jacket, phone, and keys before heading towards the door, determined to find the two of you. However, he didnât have to go far. As soon as Jungkook opened the front door, he was met by a sight that immediately stopped him in his tracks â you and Taehyung locked in a passionate embrace, kissing.
A strangled cry that was a mixture between surprise and disapproval left Jungkookâs throat, alerting you and Taehyung to his presence, causing the two of you to jump apart from one another.
âJ-jungkook,â you stuttered out, your brother being the last person you had expected to see in that moment. âWhat are you doing out here?â
âWhat am I doing out here?â He fumed. âI think that is something I should be asking the two of you.â
âI think it was pretty obvious what we were doing,â you retorted, sensing an argument brewing and being the younger sibling that you were, you were unable to hinder the sassy, defensive remarks thrown his way.
âY/N,â Taehyung murmured, gently placing a hand on your arm to get you to look his way. âPlease, let me handle this.â
âOh, donât even get me started on you,â Jungkook interjected. âI canât believe you!â
Taehyung merely looked at his youngest Bangtan member, knowing that he had no defense in this situation. If the roles were reversed and he caught Jungkook making out with his younger sister, his reaction probably would have been much, much worse. He figured the best thing to do was let the maknae get it all out of his system.
âHow could you, Taehyung?â Jungkook questioned. âThatâs my sister. My sister! You know how important she is to me! Sheâs not some random girl that you can just mess around with! Sheâs my family!â
âWhoa, whoa, whoa!â Taehyung interrupted.
He had been fully prepared to allow Jungkook to rant and rave his frustrations until they were all of out his system, but he had thought Jungkook understood his feelings towards you. After all, he hadnât exactly been sublte in his interest towards you over the last few days. He had practically been glued to your side.
âIâm not messing around with your sister, Jungkook!â Taehyung insisted, eyes widened in an attempt to make his junior understand. âI really, really like her. Sheâs not just some random girl I met. Sheâs special. And sheâs special to me.â Â
âAnd how could you possibly know that? You two just met!â
âI didnât think it was possible either,â Taehyung explained, eyes briefly shooting over towards you to assess your reaction. This was definitely not how he had planned on confessing the extent of his feelings to you. âBut thereâs something about her that has captivated me since the moment I laid eyes on her,â Taehyung continued. âAt first I thought it was just simple attraction, but as I got to talk to her more and see how she treated not only me, but you and the rest of the boys, I knew she was different.â
You stared at the boy in front of you, not quite believing what you were hearing. Of course, you had felt an instant connection upon meeting, but up until this point, you didnât quite understand that it was the same for him as it was for you. Your heart swelled as you listened to this wonderful boy in front of you.
âShe has one of the kindest, most genuine souls,â Tae explained, lost now in his own thoughts of admiration towards you. âHer hard-work and dedication towards her schooling is admirable. Itâs certainly something I could never do,â he joked, a smile now appearing on his face. âAnd she understands me in a way that no one has before. I know we havenât known each other long, but I swear no one has ever made me laugh so hard or so easily. I canât imagine a more perfect person, honestly. I didnât think that they existed. But now, after meeting Y/N, I know that I have met the most rare gem and I will absolutely hate myself if I donât take the opportunity to get to know her and learn to care for her the way she deserves.â
You and Jungkook merely stared, open-mouthed, at the man in front of you. Neither of you had been expecting all that. Taehyung had hinted in his conversations with you the past few days how he was starting to feel, but never in such detail and confidence as right now. Honestly, in your past dating history, you were used to these immature boys incapable of telling a woman honestly how they feel. Yet here was this beautiful man before you, saying all the things you could only have ever dreamed of.
âI promise you, Jungkookie,â Taehyung sighed. âIâm not messing around with your sister. I wouldnât do that to her or to you. Both of you are too important to me to risk losing. You have to believe me.â
Jungkook, much like yourself, seemed to be in a state of shock. He also had not seen this coming. He had known Taehyung for quite a few years now and never in that span of time had he ever heard him speak so earnestly or so sincerely.
Finally gathering his composure a little, Jungkook turned his attention over to you. Taehyungâs speech was nice and all but it all meant nothing if you were not on the same page. âAnd you?â He questioned. âYou feel the same for him?â
You looked up at Taehyung, taking in his nervous expression all of a sudden.
âYeah, I do,â you affirmed, reaching out to grab ahold of Taehyungâs hand, lacing your fingers through his own and giving a slight squeeze.
A beautiful grin overtook Taehyungâs face as he glanced down at your intertwined hands before looking back up at your face.
âI really do,â you repeated, finally tearing your gaze away from Taehyung and back over to your brother. âHe treats me with the upmost respect,â you began, sincerity pouring from your mouth as well. âHe makes me laugh. He knows just what to say if Iâm feeling down or if I need advice about something. He understands me. We understand each other,â you corrected softly. âNow that Iâve met him I donât think I can imagine my life without him.â
Jungkook let out a deep breath. âWell âŠâ he started. âIf thatâs the way you two feel, I canât really stand in between that, now can I?â
âDoes that mean youâre giving us your blessing, Jungkookie?â Taehyung asked, eyes alight with excitement.
âI guess so,â he sighs, eyes rolling up to the ceiling. âJust none of that lovey-dovey couple stuff in front of me, ok?â He demanded, gaze sharpening as he turned his attention back to the two of you. âI am still your brother after all and seeing the two of you locking lips is not something I want burned into my retinas. Iâm already struggling to get rid of the image I already walked in on!â
âDeal!â Tae exclaimed, letting go of your hand to rush forward and wrap your brother in a bear hug, practically lifting him off the floor. âThank you, thank you!â He shouted. âI promise you wonât regret it. Iâll treat her like a princess she is.â
âYouâd better,â Jungkook threatened once he finally escaped the vice-like grip Taehyung had had him in.
âI will,â Tae promised. âThatâs one thing you donât have to worry about, Kookie,â he assured, stepping back to once again grab onto your hand, leaning down to press a brief kiss to your palm before intertwining your fingers again, causing a smile to appear on your face.
Who would have thought? Jungkook questioned. His little sister and his best friend.
God give him strength. He shook his head as he regarded the two of you in front of him, already back in your little bubble, wrapped up entirely in each otherâs presence. This was definitely going to take some getting used to.
***
*1 year later*
âWhen does your fight board?â You asked, staring at the grainy picture of your boyfriend over the Facetime call. The boys had finally finished the last leg of their most recent world tour and were now on their way back home. After having not seen each other for the past five months, it was definitely an understatement to say that you were beyond excited to be reunited with your boyfriend of a year now. Long-distance had been no joke. It was possibly the hardest thing either of you had ever done. Yet, you and Taehyung had discovered that when you really loved somebody, the sacrifices and the time apart were no comparison to the good times together.
Your brother as well as the rest of the boys had been slightly skeptical when you officially announced your relationship, but they were all extremely pleased to find themselves wrong in this instance. They couldnât explain it, but you and Taehyung had clicked almost instantly. The boys often joked about how well you and Tae complemented each other. It was like you were each otherâs missing puzzle piece. The boys teased you two non-stop, but secretly they were beyond pleased to see you and Taeâs relationship continuing to blossom.
âIn another ten minutes or so,â Taehyung replied, attempting to make out as many details as he could through the small, poorly connected Facetime call. It had been far too long since he had last seen you in person and he was counting the seconds until he had you back in his arms and he could look at you with his own two eyes, no phone screen necessary.
âI canât wait to see you again,â you stated, eyes sparkling with anticipation as you said exactly what was running through Taeâs mind.
âNeither can I, sweetheart,â he sighed, nerves beginning to fill his mind. This wasnât just any reunion for the two of you. This one was going to be extra special. You just didnât know it yet.
âHey!â A voice suddenly interrupted. âWhat did I say about all the lovey-dovey couple nonsense in front of me! Youâre still my little sister, you know!â Jungkook exclaimed, addressing you through the phone as he tilted the screen to face him as he sat beside Taehyung.
âWell, brother dear,â you retorted. âMaybe if you didnât listen in on peopleâs private conversations, you wouldnât find yourself in this predicament.â
Jungkook scoffed in offense, a quick reply already at the tip of his tongue. You and Jungkook were certainly a sight to behold when you went off on one of your very many sibling squabbles. Taehyung had learned pretty early on in your relationship that the safest thing to  do was to just stay back and keep your head down, or else he would encounter something way worse than a Jeon family feud and would instead find himself at the receiving end of a Jeon sibling takedown as the two of you would unite against him.
It was definitely the safer option to just allow the two of you to get the bickering out of your systems and wait for you to reach a truce, which this time, thankfully didnât take very long as they were getting ready to board their flight.
âGive the phone back to my boyfriend!â Tae heard you tell your brother after a few moments of back-and-forth.
Tae happily took his phone back, your face once more appearing before him, causing a smile to appear on his face. Even after all this time, you still continued to elicit the same reaction of awe as the first time he had laid eyes on you.
âWhatever,â Jungkook huffed, going over instead to sit next to Jin-hyung.
âCome back to me soon, okay?â You requested, a sweet smile forming on your lips as you thought about how you would finally be back in his arms in just a few short hours.
âAlways,â Tae murmured, nerves returning to him as the box in his pocket felt more like a lead weight than it ever had before. You werenât aware yet, but as soon as they landed, he was taking you out for a romantic evening and then popping the question that he had been dying to ask you for the longest time now. He knew you were it for him. There was no way he could love you any more than he did. He couldnât imagine another day, another tour without you being his wife.
âI love you,â you sighed, anxious for him to get home already. âHave a safe flight. Iâll be here waiting when you land.â
âI canât wait,â Taehyung replied, nerves and excitement mingling together in his stomach. âI love you too, baby. Iâll see you so soon, I canât wait.â
Future Mrs. Kim Taehyung, he thought to himself as he ended the call, grabbing his bags and following his brothers onto the airplane, ready for this next adventure with you.
Summary: Jungkook faces a moment of insecurity regarding the relationship between you and his hyung Namjoon, but donât worry, you are there to set him straight and reassure him. Just fluff!
âOomph,â you groaned out as the breath in your lungs forcibly left your body while the hunk of muscle that was your boyfriend plopped himself down on top of you, making himself comfortable.
Looking up from your phone that you had previously been scrolling through in peace, you raised an eyebrow at him. âCan I help you, Jungkook-ah?â You asked, trying to maintain a stern countenance while your adorable boyfriend wrapped his arms securely around you, settling comfortably on top of you, nuzzling his face into your stomach.
âMissed you,â he murmured tiredly in response, turning to place a soft kiss to the material of his sweatshirt that was currently adorning your figure.
You had to fight hard to keep yourself from swooning at the utter sweetness that was your boyfriend. The two of you had been together for quite some time now and he never failed to take your breath away and leave your heart fluttering. And these were your favorite moments with him â these sweet domestic moments where you were both able to just take comfort in the presence of one another.
Reaching down, you threaded the fingers of your free hand through his thick locks of hair in order to massage his scalp, smiling as a soft hum of satisfaction left his throat in response.
âLong day?â You questioned gently, knowing that he had been busy the last few weeks preparing for BTSâ upcoming comeback. You had been around long enough to know how much time and preparation went into these things, but it never failed to worry you each time he would come home completely exhausted, looking as if he was about to collapse. However, seeing him in such a state gave you an excuse to baby him and love on him a little more than usual, something that neither of you could complain about.
âMmhmm,â he murmured, burying his face further into your body, slowly letting go of the tension in his muscles from the long hours of dance practice that day. âJust want to stay here with you all night.â
You leaned down, placing a soft kiss on the top of his head. âI would love to, Kookie, but Iâm meeting up with Namjoon in a little bit.â
Up until this point, Jungkook had basically maintained his half-conscious state, barely listening to anything you had said thus far; however, at those words, he perked up, raising his head from your stomach to look directly at you.
âNamjoon-hyung?â He questioned, an adorable pout forming on his lips. âWhy are you going out with him?â
âHeâs helping me with my english assignment for my class. We talked about it after the last Bangtan get together we all had last week. Didnât I tell you?â
Jungkook frowned, unable to recall any such event. âYou certainly didnât. I definitely would remember you making plans to go out with another man.â
Unable to hold back the laughter that threatened to escape, you let out a giggle as you questioned, âanother man? I hardly think your fellow Bangtan member, leader, and brother counts as âanother man.ââ You mocked.
âWhen youâre going out alone, anyone counts as âanother man,ââ he retorted, mimicking the same tone you had used.
You rolled your eyes. âHe sees me as a little sister, Kookie. And heâs like an older brother to me. All of your fellow members are, you know that.â
âWell, can I come with you?â
âYou were literally just collapsed on top of me, complaining about how utterly exhausted you were.â
âIâm feeling more awake now,â he counteracted, doe eyes staring up at you.
âKookie, your eyes are struggling to stay open right now, you need to rest.â
His frown deepened, and you leaned forward in response to press a soft kiss to his mouth. âItâll be absolutely fine, Jungkook,â you reassured, after pulling away slightly. âNamjoon is just doing me a favor and helping with this assignment. It shouldnât even take that long, Iâll be back before you know it to give you all the cuddles you could possibly want.â
A tentative smile made its way onto his face. âAll the cuddles I could want?â He questioned, moving closer to rest his forehead against yours.
âAll of the cuddles,â you promised, pressing forward just a little to connect your mouth with his own once again.
***
It shouldnât even take that long. Your words echoed bitterly in Jungkookâs mind as he glanced at the clock once again. 11 PM. You had been gone for quite a few hours now and Jungkook was freaking out, for lack of a better word. How long could it possibly take to complete one english assignment?
Finally, deciding that he couldnât take it anymore, Jungkook pulled out his phone, ready to call you and ask when you were coming back. However, before he could click on your contact, he heard the familiar jingling of your keys and the sound of you walking through the front door.
âKookie, youâre still awake!â You exclaimed in surprise, taken aback by the presence of a figure standing in the middle of your living room.
âOf course Iâm still awake,â he grumbled. âHow could I sleep not knowing when you were coming back. I thought you had said this assignment wasnât going to take long?â
Cocking your head to the side, you assessed your distressed boyfriend quietly, wondering what was really bothering him. You had come home late before and he had never seemed to give it much thought. Why was this time any different?
âIâm sorry,â you apologized, taking a few tentative steps closer to him. âWe finished awhile ago, but then we got caught up talking. Joon and I never really get a chance to sit down and talk, so it was nice.â You shrugged. âYou know how wise he is, I always like to get his opinion on different things.â
âDonât you care about my opinion?â The question slipped out of his mouth before he could even process what he was saying. He hadnât meant to voice that thought aloud. It was one that had plagued him in the past, but something he had deeply suppressed, knowing it came from a place of doubt and insecurity. However, he couldnât help the thoughts that raced through his mind. He trusted Namjoon completely and there was no one he trusted in the world more than you. But sometimes, his insecurity got the best of him and he wondered if you would be happier with someone more like his hyung. Someone more wise, as you had said. Namjoon was so intelligent, he could help you with your assignments, he was a natural-born leader. It wasnât a jump to see why Namjoon would appeal to you, Jungkook thought.
You; however, were quick to see the depth behind that one question and the secret thoughts that raced through his mind. âKookie, no!â You exclaimed, taking a few steps to close the remaining distance between you two. Gently, you placed your hands on his face, cupping his cheeks and forcing him to look at you, to see the sincerity in your eyes.
âOf course I care about your opinion, Jungkook,â you affirmed. âThere is no opinion I value more than yours, believe me in that.â
Jungkook sniffed, nodding his head slightly, yet unconvincingly.
Spurred on by his nonchalant response, you gripped his cheeks tighter, demanding his attention. âYou are the love of my life, Jungkook,â you began, firm and confident, hoping that your words would sink into that thick skull of his. âYou are the most important person in my life and I value your thoughts and opinions more than you could ever know. Iâm sorry if me sometimes going to Namjoon bothers you, I truly never had any idea and would never want to do anything to hurt you.â
Jungkook nodded again, indicating that he was listening intently to what you were saying.
âYou complement me so well, Kookie,â you continued. âI 100% believe that we were made for each other. There is no one that I could want or love more than I want and love you. So whatever thoughts are running through your head about you not being enough, get them out right now,â you demanded. âYou are perfect to me. I cannot imagine my life without you. My mind is so consumed by Jungkook, I canât even see anybody else,â you admitted, a smile now decorating your lips in response to the one that had now appeared on Jungkookâs own face. âEspecially someone that we both consider to be family,â you scolded lightly.
Jungkook let out a sheepish laugh. âI know,â he stated. âI just let my insecurity get the best of me. I know you and Namjoon are like family and that aside from that, neither of you would ever do anything to hurt me. Sometimes, I just canât help but think that you would be happier with someone more like him, though.â
Shaking your head, you continued to grip his cheeks. âDidnât you just listen to anything I said? I donât want anybody but you. Itâs always been you for me and it always will be. You are everything and more that I could ever want or need. Please donât doubt that, my love.â
Jungkook smiled, hands coming up to cup your own that were still resting on his face. âI donât, sweetheart. I just need you to remind me every once and a while.â
âAnd I will always be here to do so,â you promised. âOkay?â
âOkay,â he responded, light and love shining through his eyes once again as he gazed at you, wondering how he was so lucky to have you in his life.
You, wondering much the same thing about him, couldnât take it anymore. You leaned forward, pressing your lips firmly against his own, pouring all of the love and adoration that you felt towards him into that kiss as he responded in turn, allowing your touch to dissolve the very last of any negative thoughts still swimming through his mind.
You were his and he was yours, just as it should be, and together, the two of you were complete.
