'BTS's Jungkook Rumoured to be Dating'
"What a mess," Namjoon threw his phone on the bed.
He added, "All the headlines talking about Jungkook's dating rumours. So this is what that unknown number meant by the last message he sent?"
Jimin sighed. This time they really messed up a lot. He knew that Hyunjae is behind all this mess. Jimin feels bad for Jungkook. Because of him keep following Hyunjae, Jungkook got threatened like this.
"Hyung, I feel sorry for Jungkook. This all because of me. I should listen to Seokjin hyung when he tried to stop me," said Jimin with the dark on his face.
Namjoon shook his hand, and said, "No no, don't blame yourself. We understand your intention following him. We didn't expect either Hyunjae will do to this extend. Now, what should we focus is not the past. We need to focus on the present. Now. What should we do. We can't let Jungkook feeling down because of this. I'm very sure his family also is very worried now".
Namjoon trying to make Jimin feels better. At this moment, not a single member should be discouraged. He needs to put everyone together and walk through this mess together.
Jimin rubbed his forehead. He doesn't know why he keeps sweating.
"Jungkook still locked himself in the room. I thought he would be angry, but he was too calm. I'm really shocked looking at his expression. I've never seen this kind of expression from Jungkook. I don't know what he is thinking. I'm really worried about him," said Jimin.
Namjoon predicted, "This must be really shocking to him. I think he wanted some alone time to sort out this issue. Jungkook is really matured now. He knew this would affect our team, that noona, company, and even his family members. So many people affected because of this issue. Although the company denied right after the news broke out, people still talked about this issue".
"Yeah. I can see how popular we are through this news. It's trending in so many countries. If we talk about the impact of this issue, I would say that our life is scary. The higher we climb, the more insecure our life. Just because of one rumour, the whole world talked about us like this is a natural disaster," Jimin reflected on this issue.
"Will we be able to find love, Jimin-a?" a deep voice suddenly approaching them. They turned around and saw Taehyung behind them with a bottle of coke in his hand.
Taehyung standing behind Jimin's chair. Jimin turned around, raised his hand and wrapped Taehyung's waist. Taehyung handed Jimin his coke. Jimin took a sip of it and passed it back to Taehyung.
Namjoon answered on behalf of Jimin, " Even if we fall in love, we cannot let anyone know about it. The safest way of dating is hiding them. No matter how much we want to tell the whole world that someone is your girl, we cannot do that to protect the girl. Our love will make them suffer. If you want to date, date quietly, Taehyung-a".
"Just date, Taehyung-a. If you want to date just date and let us know. We will help you hiding your girlfriend," Seokjin from no where suddenly appeared with RJ on his hand.
Jimin smiled, "Since when are you here, hyung?"
Taehyung answered, "He was just behind me. You didn't see?".
Jimin laughed, "I didn't see".
Seokjin continues, "Let me tell you. Some Army knew if we're dating but reconcile it to protect us. Of course, the majority would not accept it. But those Army who always stalking us, they definitely knew if we're dating. They just don't talk about it".
Namjoon added, "Yeah, I heard about it too. They actually don't mind we're dating, but just date quietly. If we admitted that we're dating, it will feel like we're disrespecting them. Because we knew they love us. Can you stand if your crush date someone? Of course, not. People would say, they are being delusional. But this is feeling issue. So the best way is to date quietly. It shows that we respect their feelings".
"But that doesn't mean we need to sacrifice," Taehyung defending himself.
Jimin pushed Taehyung's stomach lightly, "Wait. Wait. Why are you acting so defensive? People will definitely think you are dating someone if you talk like this in the public".
Taehyung pouted. Jimin and Namjoon shook their head and smile before Seokjin asked, "Did you see Jungkook? He's too quiet today. I'm worried about him".
Jimin answered, "I talked to him. He said he wanted to be alone. I really don't know what he think. He looked like a bit pissed, but scared at the same time".
"I'm wondering what he is doing now," said Seokjin.
In Jungkook's room, Jungkook staring outside the window. He feels bad to the tattoo artist for the trouble he caused her. He bowed his head, closed his eyes, and think about the text chat he read on the phone.
Jungkook: 'I'm sorry for making you involved in this trouble'.
Mi Joo: 'Hm. I don't want to blame you, but I hope you don't contact me anymore.'
Jungkook: 'I'm really sorry about this issue. It must be hard for you. Do not worry. My company will do something about this.'
Mi Joo: 'Huh. Your company? How about you manage your fans first? You have no idea what I'm going through today'
Jungkook: 'Army? What did they do? Do you get hurt?'
Mi Joo: 'If I'm the only one got hurt, I probably won't get hurt much. But your fans dragging my family, my friends, even my workplace got involved in this rumours, do you think I'll be okay?'
Jungkook: 'I'm really apologise for the troubles you got because of me. I will...'
Mi Joo: 'Stop doing anything. Just don't say anything. I'm tired reading more and more articles appear with my face on it. Is it a world war? I got attacked not only in Korea, but the whole world. Why do they need to hear my explanation when no one believe me?'
Jungkook: 'I know you got stressed up over this issue. I apologise on behalf of my fans. I really am sorry to your family and friends. Because of me, everyone's life now at stake. Because of one silly rumour, they invade your life. I'm sorry for making everyone got hurt.'
Mi Joo: 'I know you're also got hurt. Now it would be best if you don't contact me. Thank you for your concern. All the best for your career.'
Jungkook: 'Thank you for your understanding. I'm sorry again. Hope you will be fine. Take care.'
Suddenly someone knocked Jungkook's door. Jungkook opened his eyes. He's back to reality. He walked towards the door and opened it.
Jungkook surprised. All his hyungs standing in front of the door with snacks and drinks. All of them smiled at him. Jimin came closer and hugged Jungkook. Taehyung followed from behind. One by one hugged Jungkook. Everyone hugged each other.
Jungkook tears falling down. Seokjin wipes his tears. "Why are you crying, Jungkook-a? Don't cry," said Seokjin with tears on his eyes.
"I just lost my friend. But here...here...my 6 brothers hugging me. I...i...feel so blessed...and thankful," said Jungkook, stuttering.
Hoseok patted Jungkook's hair, "Jungkook-a...no need to cry. We're brothers".
Jungkook started crying. He continues while wiping his own tears, "It's really hard and scary, hyungs. I don't know what I should do. The moment I feel hopeless, you guys coming here at the right time, seriously."
Yoongi tapped Jungkook's back, "If you are that thankful, let us waste our night together in your room".
Taehyung backhug Jungkook and walked him towards the bed while hugging him. He wipes his tears on Jungkook's shoulder while walking and said, "At times like this you shouldn't be alone, Jungkook-a".
Seokjin agreed to Taehyung, "Right. You have all these reliable hyungs with you. Don't worry and don't keep it all by yourself. We should share everything and drink together".
Jimin grabbed Jungkook's hand. He wants to comfort Jungkook too, but he noticed Jungkook's hand is shaking and cold. He grabbed another hand. Both of his hands are shaking and cold, he asked, "Why your hands are cold? Oh my God. Hyungs, come touch his hands. He's shivering".
All BTS members come and touched his hands. Yes, Jimin is right. Jungkook must be really scared right now.
"You're not sick, right?" asked Seokjin.
Hoseok immediately touched Jungkook's forehead. He checked the heat and told them, "No, not hot. He's not sick. Huu...you make me scared".
Jungkook smiled, "I'm okay, hyungs. I'm just still feeling shocked...and...sad".
Yoongi rubbed his chin, "Jungkook-a, trust me. You will be fine. Let this pass and don't pay too much attention on this. Let's not waste our energy on this issue".
Seokjin cut, "They're aiming at me. Not you, Jungkook-a. They're just using you. This is all happening because of me. Now, I started to feel way stronger. I've seen enough of their game to our members. I'll take revenge on them".
Namjoon asked, "Don't you think there's must be a reason?"
Seokjin answered, "They just want to eat me and throw me away from this industry I think. But now I got triggered by this method. Who do they think they messing up with?"
Yoongi saw the fire in Seokjin's eyes. He trying to calm Seokjin, "No no no, Jin hyung. As for now, don't do anything. Let this issue to calm down first".
Hoseok agreed to Yoongi, he added, "Yes, hyung. Don't worry. I'll overshadow this issue with my solo comeback. Jungkook-a, I'll help you".
Namjoon smiled and emphasised on their goal, "That's right. Let's just focus on our shooting here. We've a lot of things need to be done. Our comeback is just in one month. It's a fact. Let's just focus on fact, and not on this groundless rumour. Let's kill our haters with our success".
Taehyung tapped Jungkook's shoulders and said in dialect, "Right, Jungkook-a. Don't feel discouraged. Let's show how strong you are on our next comeback. Show them that you don't get affected".
Jimin while biting the snack he brought, said, "Set them all on fire. You're the Golden Maknae".
Jungkook smiled. He feels thankful to all his hyungs for the encouragement. Although he still feel worried, but he trust his hyungs and he knows he is not alone. Tonight, he wants to drink and sleep with his hyungs. He doesn't want to think about tomorrow. He just wants waste his time with his hyungs.
Meanwhile, Seokjin observed them all and smiled. Everyone started to joking around and teasing each other. Silently, he checked his phone. He didn't tell anyone the deal he made before he joined everyone.
Seokjin: 'I don't know your secrets, but I'll pick up the pieces. I'll pull you close to me now. Let's meet up without anyone knowing. Just a man to man.'
Unknown: 'Set time and place when you're in Korea. A quiet place. Just you and me.'
