[Yoongi x Jungkook Non-Idol AU]

Jungkook takes another sip from his cup. He inhales, letting the cold air fill his lungs. The cold weather doesn't bother Jungkook that much. He leans back on his chair watching random people pass by.

This is his favorite thing to do when the weather starts to get chilly. Going to a cafe, ordering a cup of latte and a slice of cheesecake then seating at the outdoor seats. Sometimes he'll go with Jimin and they'll go to the park afterwards, but said hyung is out on date with Taehyung. The last time Jungkook called, Jimin said something about Tae promising him to go to the amusement park. Apparently a new ride was added last month. Jungkook is tempted to take a bus there right now and be a third wheeler just to annoy his best friends. Besides, it's been a while since the last time he saw the both of them. It's been what? Two weeks?

"Oh JK!"

Jungkook turns his head to see Jin and Namjoon walking towards him. "Jin hyung, Namjoon hyung!" He waves to the couple and gestures for them to sit down. Jin plops down on the chair in front of Jungkook.

"You alone?" Namjoon asks as he sits down beside his boyfriend, wrapping an arm around Jin's shoulder. "Yeah, figured I'd have some me time. Are you headed somewhere?" Jungkook swats Jin's arm who was about to steal his cheesecake.

Namjoon laughs before answering, "There's a new anime movie that just came out. You want to join us?" Jungkook thinks of it for awhile. Going with them would probably be better than being alone right now. But he doesn't want to disturb the couple. He knows that Jin just got back from his trip abroad and they must have wanted a day alone, so he declines the offer. "No thanks, but have fun you two. Hyung, don't let Jin hyung wander off and got lost. I don't think he remembers the way around."

"Yah, you brat! I was gone for 14 days not 14 years," Jin smacks his head, receiving a grin from Jungkook. "I'll get us something to go," he says to Namjoon, shrugging his hand off from Jin's broad shoulder before entering the cafe. Namjoon turns his gaze back to Jungkook.

"So, how's Yoongi hyung?"

Jungkook shrugs, "He's fine I guess. The album he's working on is almost done. Hyung haven't slept for like 3 days working on it in his studio, I'm glad he'll finally be able to rest,"

Jungkook frowns when he realizes he hasn't really seen his boyfriend for the past week. Yoongi did come back home, but just to shower and eat, then he would be on his way back to the studio. They live in a shared apartment nearby. But still, Yoongi would camp in his studio from time to time when there's work to do.

His boyfriend is always so engrossed when it comes to producing a song. Sometimes, Jungkook even needs to come to the studio and remind him to eat since Yoongi never picks up his phone when he works. Jungkook has never met anyone that's more passionate than his boyfriend. He's glad, producing music has always been Yoongi's greatest passion. Even though that passion could be the thing that kills him in the future.

Namjoon notices the younger man's sullen expression and ruffles Jungkook's hair, "I'm sure he misses you kid. Just wait a little longer. You did say it's almost done, right?" His tone is soft, the voice Namjoon always use when he sees other in distress. Jungkook smiles at the comforting words. Namjoon has always been observant when it comes to other people's feeling. Jin hyung's lucky to have Namjoon hyung, Jungkook thinks. Ha, he's also lucky to have Yoongi.

Jin comes back with a paper bag in hand. Namjoon stands up and takes it, gesturing that he would carry it instead. Aw, how sweet. "Well, see you later kook. Tell Yoongi hyung to take care of himself," Namjoon patted Jungkook's shoulder. "Tell Yoongi I said hi, okay?" Jin says as well before leaving Jungkook alone with a short bye.

And just like that, Jungkook is left alone again. He takes another bite from his cheesecake. Everyone is on a date and here I am sitting alone in a cafe, he thinks. He fishes out his phone from his pocket to see a text notification from 15 minutes ago. His phone must've been on silent mode. He opens it to reveal a text from Yoongi.

Min Suga
Have you eaten?

Jungkook snorts, "Is he for real?" He quickly types a reply.

Kook
I'm the one who's supposed to ask u that

Min Suga
Srsly kook, have you?

Kook
I'm eating cheesecake rn. If u can count that as eating then yes, i have. Why? Are u done?

There was no reply after that. Jungkook doesn't think much about it though, maybe Yoongi decided to sleep or something. He sets his phone on vibrate and puts it back, not expecting an answer from his boyfriend.

He considers going home if Yoongi's done with work. Maybe get him a cup of coffee and a few snacks. His thoughts are interrupted when someone pulls the chair in front of him and sits there. He is about to ask the person to leave when he realizes who it was. "Yoongi hyung?"

Yoongi raises his eyebrows in exchange of a hi. "W-what are you doing here? I thought you went home to sleep?"

Yoongi shrugs, "I was about to. But I figured you'd be here when you said you ate a cheesecake. So I walked here instead." Jungkook gapes at him. "Why?" Yoongi looks at him as in saying seriously? "What do you mean why? Of course to see you! I haven't seen you for days. Can't a person miss his boyfriend?"

The way Yoongi said it so casually somehow makes Jungkook's heart flutter, cheeks going red. "That's not what I meant! Hyung is obviously tired, why didn't you go back and rest? You'll see me eventually when I get back."

"I miss you too much to wait for another hour," Yoongi is obviously teasing him with the way he's smirking and tilting his head to the left. Jungkook is left shocked with even redder cheeks. He ducks his head to hide his embarrassment.

"That was so cheesy hyung, I can't believe you just said that! Just wait here, I'll get you something," Jungkook fails to run away when a hand catches him on the wrist. "Stay. I want to spend time with you right now, you're way better than a cup of coffee," the damn smirk is back again now. Jungkook scrunches his face in fake disgust. "Aish are you really Min Yoongi? The Yoongi hyung I know never flirts, especially in public," he sits back, hand still being hold by his boyfriend and continues, "did something really good happened at work?"

Yoongi kept quiet as he plays with Jungkook's wrist. Jungkook raises an eyebrow, confused at the silence, "Yoongi hyung?" Yoongi lets out a sigh and locks his gaze with Jungkook, "Jungkook-ah, I'm sorry for leaving you alone a lot lately. You always say that it's fine but I know that you feel lonely a lot. Hobi came to visit me at the studio a few days ago. He told me that you've been feeling down lately, I should've been there for you yet I'm always so attached to work..." His voice trails off at the end.

Jungkook would've laughed if not for the serious expression Yoongi has on his face. Rather than that, he smiles at Yoongi instead, "Hyung seriously, you don't need to apologize for something like that. I like it when you make music, when you're doing something that you love. Sure, I miss you sometimes," Yoongi raises an eyebrow which receives an eye roll from Jungkook, "well okay, I miss you a lot, but it's worth it when you finally come back home and we spend time together," the corners of Jungkook's mouth pulls into a playful grin, "You know what? Why don't you buy me pizza if you're so guilty, hyung?"

Yoongi laughs at this, "Aish this kid! Finish this and we can go to that pizza place near the bookstore." Jungkook's grin grows wider as he finishes his cake and latte. Yoongi ruffles his hair, something he definitely misses. They get pizza, walk to the park, and stay there until the sky turns dark. They went home hand in hand with Jungkook smiling the widest he had the whole week.

"Hyung, you're better than coffee too," he says later at their apartment. Yoongi smirks.

[ Namjoon x Jungkook Non-AU (Burn The Stage) ]

It was nearing the end of the concert. The members were all walking around the stage, sending smiles and interacting with the fans. Namjoon walked slightly behind the others, waving at every direction, smiling with those dimples he knew ARMYs adore. He tried to enjoy it to the fullest, absorb the night. It's not everyday they can do a world tour and meet overseas fans, he's pretty sure the feeling is mutual for ARMYs. He seemed worry free at the moment but his mind kept on drifting off to the scene just moments before.

"Hurry, get him to the chair."

"Jungkook, are you all right?

"Is he okay? What happened?"

From his crouched position in front of him, Namjoon could tell that Jungkook was in a really bad shape. His heart clenched seeing how pale Jungkook was, panting and drenched in cold sweat. All of them were taken by surprise, never seeing the maknae that exhausted to the brink of unconsciousness.

Namjoon was both worried and confused. There's no doubt that he wanted Jungkook to rest but then again, he's the center. The dance formation would fall apart without him. Making up his mind that their health comes first, he was about to go and tell Jimin to replace Jungkook's position when the maknae called out, voice low and wheezy. "Hyung, I'm fine. I can continue."

Namjoon resisted the urge to go and get Yoongi instead so he can beat some sense to the kid. He crouched back down. "Don't push yourself too hard, maknae. You'll pass out. Have you seen yourself? Your face's as pale as Yoongi hyung.", he half-shouted.

The crowd's really insane that night. In a nice way of course. That earned Namjoon a grin from the still panting man. "It's okay, hyung. It's not that bad. Just need- catch my breath."

Namjoon looked at him, obviously not convinced. His mind couldn't help but imagine the worse scenario. Jungkook fainting on stage, Jungkook getting loaded into the ambulance, Jungkook-

Eyes meeting with their manager's, he sighed. The maknae is stubborn as hell and they all knew that.

"Just promise me if it gets worse you'll step back, okay?"

Honestly, Namjoon knew it was useless to say that. He knew that Jungkook would never leave the stage. He would just pretend like nothing's wrong and try to hold on until the end. Jungkook shot him a determined smile.

'15 seconds!'

Offering a hand which the maknae reached out to, Namjoon hugged him shortly before going up the stair to perform the last song. His voice soft and gentle, whispering words right beside Jungkook's right ear. "Just this and we can go back. I'm proud of you."

They kept on waving at the crowd, sending them hearts until the stage closed. The staff and members all clapped, saying great jobs, and thank yous at each other. Namjoon wasted no time reaching out to the youngest, swinging an arm around his shoulder. He took a glance to assess the maknae's condition.

Jungkook visibly looked a bit better than before, maybe for the fact that the choreo wasn't too hard. The exhaustion was apparent though, eye bags forming under his wide eyes. It's something their manager realized as well. "We're done for the night. Let's go back to the hotel, Jungkook looks ready to sleep standing up." Hobeom said.

The ride to the hotel was fairly quick. The fans watched from afar as they entered the car, respecting their privacy, something the members appreciate a lot.

After 15 minutes or so, they arrived at the hotel. The members were all roomed on the same floor, which makes it easier for the managers to wake them up. After bidding each other good night (and a few extra ruffles in the hair and hugs for Jungkook) the members went to their respective rooms, eager for their well deserved sleep.

The first thing Jungkook did once he closed the door was face planting on the bed, not caring for the fact that he was still wearing dirty clothes. 10 minutes or so had passed and he started to feel drowsy. He was contemplating on just going to sleep without changing, when suddenly the door bell rang startling him. With a grunt he rolled off the bed and made his way to the door. He suspected it to be Jimin or Hoseok whose rooms were right across and beside his, but the face that greeted him when he opened the door was neither.

Namjoon was wearing his sky blue Ryan pajamas, clad in a black jacket. With a grin, Namjoon let himself in, closing the door behind him as he took of his sandals and draped his jacket over a chair. Jungkook, too tired to question him, sat back on the bed. He watched as Namjoon then put down a plastic bag on the table. "What's that?"

Namjoon didn't bother to look at him as he moved to take the contents out. "Just some snacks and drinks I bought downstairs. I got your favorite seaweed, chocolates, chips. Oh, and there's also milk, banana and chocolate."

Jungkook's heart fluttered at the affection. He knew it was Namjoon's subtle way to spoil him after a long day. He giggled, "Thanks hyung."

"Yeah yeah, whatever." Namjoon smirked. "By the way, aren't you gonna change, kook?"

"Huh?"

Realizing that he was still wearing his dirty clothes, Jungkook groaned and lay down on the bed. "No. Pass me the chocolate, hyung."

"Jungkook, at least wash your face first."

With yet another loud miserable groan, Jungkook literally rolled off the bed hitting the ground. He stayed there for a few seconds before standing up and going through his suitcase. "Might as well take a shower then," Namjoon heard him mutter under his breath, as Jungkook then disappeared to the bathroom with a pout.

Even though he was too lazy at first, Jungkook got to admit, the shower was really refreshing. The warm water really helped with the tension in his muscles. He was kinda glad Namjoon 'forced' him to, but Namjoon didn't need to know that. When he was done showering, Jungkook found Namjoon sitting on top of the bed, engrossed in a TV show. Jungkook plopped down beside him. The older apparently settled on watching a travel show about Japan. Jungkook hummed before laying down on the bed, tucking himself under the bed cover. "Hyung, are you sleeping here?"

Namjoon turned to look at him, before grinning. "Why? Are you lonely?"

That earned him another pout.

"I'm kidding kook. Of course I'll stay." Namjoon patted the top of his head. The room was silent for a while, both of them focusing on the television. "You still up for the snack?"

Jungkook nodded, yawning. "Yeah, told you to pass me the chocolate."

"You sure? We can go to sleep if you're tired." There was no answer.

Jungkook's mind was getting drowsy, eyes growing heavy. He heard chuckles and the shuffling of feet moments after. He realized what Namjoon was doing when the room suddenly turned darker and much more silent, the only light coming from the corner lamp. The bed dipped at an extra weight and he saw Namjoon slipping under the cover.

He could feel a familiar hand ruffling his hair before stroking it gently. This managed to make Jungkook even drowsier, eyelids beginning to close. "Go to sleep, maknae."

The last thing he remembered before falling asleep was the kiss on his forehead and a mutter, "Thank you for being so strong, Jungkookie."

Chapter Text

I'm sorry if any of you were expecting this to be a new chapter but I got some issues and I need your opinions.

So, maybe some of you realized but I published the second chapter of this story (the namkook one) as a separate one shot. I've been meaning to do that for a while and also I was actually thinking of just posting one shots instead from now on. Honestly, I don't know why, but it just seems right. Like I'd feel less pressure to finish or even just continue a series with my ridiculously busy life. But the thing is, I don't want to just suddenly stop this series. Especially with people already bookmarking the story and all, I felt like I'd let people who are patiently waiting for this story down (or I'm just flattering myself ha). So I thought,

'Well, what if I publish my writings twice? I'll publish it here and as a separate one-shot.'

But then I thought,

'Wouldn't it be like a waste? Like I'm being a tryhard.'

And I've been having this dilemma for the past few weeks. So that's why I'll let you guys decide, should I stop this series for good or should I just post twice, here and as another separate story?

Please write down your opinions on the comment! Thanks!

Chapter Text

After a lot of stressing, I've decided to mark this story as finished. From now on, I'll be posting oneshots as individual stories instead. Some have suggested me to do this but I won't be posting the oneshots under a series. Since if I do, I'd probably end up publishing all of my fics under that series and that would be weird lol (because the series would've been named Everyone Loves JK and so any jungkook shipping would fit in).

Anyways, I hope you understand and thank you so much for reading this fic. Please do look forward for my next work! <3 (hint: it's jinkook)
