M Countdown

"Wow, two perfect scores for their releases are 'DNA' by BTS and 'Power' by EXO!!" said the female host.

The loudest roar of cheers were heard from two of the biggest fanbases in K-pop.

Everyone was on stage with cameras focusing on BTS and EXO. Both groups went up to each other and hugged.

Jungkook purposely avoided Kai and Jimin went to Kai last to talk. They were catching up with each other, unnecessary touching too.

Jungkook just rolled his eyes as the group went back to where they were. Jimin wasn't with the group. Instead, he was with someone else.

Taemin..

They were giggling, touching, and anything that could get them into a scandal. Taemin staring at Jimin's eyes was too tense to be normal.

Taemin's arm over Jimin's shoulder was too much for Jungkook to handle.

'Am I not enough for Jimin?'

-----------------------------------

After casually winning 'Artist of the Year', BTS gave their speeches and everyone came back on stage to sing the song of the year, 'Signal' by TWICE.

As some were singing, Jungkook saw Jimin -- from my peripheral vision -- being attacked by something 'large'.

'Oh. It was just Taemin' thought Jungkook.

'He's being too touchy. Why is Jimin allowing this? Doesn't Jimin know he's mine? Is one not enough? Taemin is not just a friend if Jimin lets him be this close.' scrunching up his face and poking his tongue out, Jungkook thought heavily about the situation.

'Jimin isn't even paying attention to me. Can't he see how much attention he is getting from fans?? The phones are on them. Is he doing this for attention? Why not with me? He-'

Jungkook stops thinking as he sees Taemin and Jimin on the big screen.

-----------------------------------

'How fucking close they are.

How they touch.

How they stare with tension.'

Jungkook head spins at seeing the trending headline on Twitter. So many posts about just them.

He couldn't even think about where Jimin and Taemin even went together.

He couldn't find Jimin in the car. Then, he was told he went somewhere with Taemin.

'A friendly date' is what Jungkook remembered from the manager.

That's bullshi-HUH!?

-----------------------------------

"Hyung! I'm asking you to answer me. Where is Jimin?" asked Jungkook, clenching his teeth. He's trying to ask as calmly as he can.

"Jungkook, I-I don't know. Why are you so angry? He's enjoying his time with Taemin." said Namjoon, genuinely scared since Jungkook never raised his voice or been angry like this to his hyungs, ever.

Everyone else were in the room. They were also genuinely terrified of seeing this side of Jungkook.

"I'm going out."

-----------------------------------

The certain image of Taemin and Jimin spreading on Twitter keeps replaying in Jungkook's head.

Tears weld up in Jungkook's eyes. He feels like he doesn't deserve Jimin.

He's scared his hyung will forget him.

Then, anger gets to him. 'How fucking dare they!? I was the one holding Jimin during hard times. Taemin was never there. And, they are out in an alley -- 'chatting.' thought Jungkook.

The picture is creating a huge scandal, breaking a healed heart.

-----------------------------------

"Bye, Taemin-hyung." said a delicate voice, Jimin.

"Bye, Jiminie." said a hyper Taemin.

They shared a smile as Jimin goes into the house.

'It's already dark?' Jimin thought.

He took off his shoes and jacket. I'm going to wash up.

Jimin dashes to his room, being quick and quiet. He doesn't want to disturb Hoseok.

He takes his clothes to the bathroom and showers. He's scared at showering at night after allegedly feeling a ghost when showering.

Jimin leaves the door unlocked, everyone knocks before coming in -- when the lights are on.

Jimin has a nice shower, thinking about the pleasent events of seeing his close friends.

Two hard-gripped hands were hurting his hips as he jerked up. "Where have you been?" said a cold, angry voice. Jimin felt turned on by the dominance, only after knowing it was Jungkook.

"W-with Tae-ahh" a loud, hard smack on his ass. "I don't want to hear another man's name come out of your mouth when you are naked." Jungkook said, biting down on Jimin's shoulder.

Jimin nodded as he leaned his head on Jungkook's shoulder. He wanted to be used already.

"I'm not letting you go so easily. Have you seen the articles and Twitter? You and that guy have been trending for 'dating'!! The pictures are of you guys having some private conversation in an alley! Number 1 making out spot!!" said Jungkook.

"It's this huge ass scandal with you being in it. With another man." a disappointed Jungkook said.

"Aww, Jungkook. You know, me and him are nothing like you and me. Are you jealous?" teased Jimin, turning around to wrap him arms around Jungkook's neck.

Seeing Jimin giggle about this, it made him more disappointed. 'I'm not jealous! I just want you closer to me.'

Jungkook started to have tears run down his eyes as he looked into Jimin. Jimin was shocked and immediately hugged Jungkook.

"Shh, it's okay. I'm not going to leave you." said Jimin, comforting Jungkook as he soothes his back.

"H-hyung w-won't-" Jungkook let out a sob and continued, "l-leave me? P-promise?"

Jimin's eyes started to tear up and said, "Promise. We are forever."

-----------------------------------

After Jungkook was done being a big, sensitive baby, he knew never to hide his feelings from Jimin. It made him feel more distanced and Jimin as a burden.

He realized it after his walk. Of course, he will still be jealous, but, will he never stop loving Jimin and telling him how he feels.

They have been through so many hardships. So much more to come, so why should Jungkook distress them more and hurt his beloved Jimin?

They both knew better. It would've eventually led to hyungs saying that his jealousy was toxic and affecting Jimin, which he never wanted.

Never disappointing hyungs.

Never disappointing his Jimin.
