Out of the Loop

Yoonie

September 26th 2018

The upcoming tour was a great excuse to avoid his problems.

Being so busy with interviews, conferences, and extra practices, they all had their hands full. Their dorm had been quiet lately, since all the littles had been absent for the most part. They were all too busy stressing over the string of concerts they'd be performing soon to slip comfortably.

As of right now, the band was currently filming a dance practice video to upload to YouTube later. Though rather than being in comfy sweats, they had to wear more fitting clothes: jeans and tight shirts would cater to the fans more than baggy clothing. The thought of being able to wear loose, softer clothes afterwards kept Jungkook going. As much as he liked looking fashionable, these clothes felt a little too tight for his liking.

He tried not to think about that too much, even though he noticed the looks his hyungs gave him during the multiple takes they had to shoot.

It was one of those choreographies that required a lot of moving. Constantly moving and jumping around each other as each of them took turns in the center; it was hard on everyone.

As soon as the loud, booming music stopped, the members all relaxed. "Okay, we're all good!" The director shouted, the film crew dispersing to finish the video.

"Oh thank god that's over," Taehyung panted, the other boys nodding in agreement. They were all sweaty and exhausted.

"I can't wait to finally go home." Jimin added, after chugging a bottle of water.

"No can do, guys." Sejin, alongside his horrible assistant, Beomyun, approached. "The vocal trainer had requested to see V, Jimin and Jin about some last minute changes." He announced, and the vocal line (minus Jungkook) groaned.

"Do we have to?" Jimin whined, though promptly stopped when Seokjin placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I bet it won't take long," Seokjin reassured the younger one.

"Yeah,it shouldn't take long, don't fret." Sejin then turned to the rappers. "As for you three, Pdogg-ssi wanted to discuss something about a mistake he found in one of the tracks."

The three tired rappers sulked, too exhausted to think about anything but sleep. The look on the leader's face caught Jungkook's attention, he looked like he had something to say. Alas, he kept his mouth shut, instead opting to nod his head in contempt.

"And lastly, maknae," Sejin looked at Jungkook. "The vocal trainer said your vocals were good, and since we just finished up here, I advise that you rest up. After all, we're leaving for the tour three days from now.

That was surprising-- he didn't expect to be getting a break, especially during this time of the year. "Oh, really?" Jungkook asked, just to make sure this wasn't some sick joke.

"Yep, you don't have anything else for today. Though maybe you should post something on Twitter, to keep ARMY updated." Jungkook noticed the grimace on Beomyun's face-- it made the maknae quite pleased. He was petty.

As they changed out of their presentable clothes back into comfier attire, they dispersed towards their respective responsibilities for the day. Having no such responsibilities, Jungkook skipped over to the elevator on tired legs, as he was just happy to go home early.

"Wait, Jungkook!" The leader's voice called out, gaining the younger's attention. 'What could he possibly want with me now?' Jungkook's stomach churned, he wasn't ready to talk to any of the members about what happened yet.

They had tried starting conversations, but the maknae was as stubborn as a mule; he wouldn't budge. As much as Jungkook missed their company and hated feeling alone, he just felt too horrible to face them. The mixture of guilt and shame, along with the knot in his throat made him feel sick.
