THINKING ABOUT YOU

"Get up! You'll miss your interview window! They'll give the slot to someone else!" Jungkook's manager yells at him from outside his bedroom window.

Thankfully he is sleeping in the ground floor bedroom because his manager had no energy to climb the pipes again.

Everytime Jungkook gets drunk, he changes his house key code and makes sure no one can enter without his permission. And /his permission/ actually means waiting for him to somewhat sober up and then let people in so someone can cook for him.

His team usually puts up with it but today is not one of those days.

"Jungkook Ssi! Please wake up! We have 45 minutes to get you to the studio and it's an hour long drink away. We can only make them wait for so long."

But Jungkook just turns his head around and pretends not to hear a thing. It's his tell. His manager knows Jungkook is awake now.

"Okay! Fine! I did not want to do this because it was supposed to be a surprise for you but Producer Nim wanted to meet you for lunch after your interview and we have found a decent location near the radio station to accommodate his request."

Jungkook unwillingly turns his head back towards the window and asks "Which one?" and the manager responded "It's a small place with good Korean Food and good coffee.".

"I mean which Producer Nim?"

The exhaust manager sighs before answering "Producer Min!".

And that is it! Jungkook jolts up from his bed and runs towards his bathroom. He comes out looking almost as good as new a few minutes later and the car is revving and ready for him by the time he exits his home.

"You should have lead with that an hour ago!" Jungkook jokes and his manager replies "I knew you were awake! Such a brat!".

Jungkook laughs before he gets busy preparing his answers for the live interview.

It's been 6 months since Jungkook's song released and exactly 5 months, 29 days and a few hours since it became a unanimous favorite in his Fandom. And all that success has finally grounded Jungkook enough to make him stop drinking, at least for now.

Yoongi is so glad that Jungkook is trying to make healthier choices for himself. He doesn't even party as much as he used to. And he definitely doesn't cause trouble for anyone especially his managers.

Yoongi is home after a long day at work. He really needs a shower. But he wonders why he can't stop thinking about Jungkook.

So inconvenient, he thinks to himself when he can't stop wondering just how it must feel to hold Jungkook close to him, closer than usual, for much longer than he usually does.

Just the other day he met the boy outside his studio. Jungkook knocks now. He still has the codes but he never barges in anymore.

He never sits too close to Yoongi and never lays his hand on Yoongi's thighs and he never tries to do anything a co-worker wouldn't.

Exactly a few hours ago, Jungkook had come over to Yoongi's studio to tell him about his nomination for an award and Yoongi had hugged him for far too long.

It's safe to say that Yoongi was not the only one feeling excitement for more than just the nomination, hence the need for a shower tonight.

He takes his clothes off and tosses them into the laundry hamper before stepping into the shower cubicle. It's not unlike him to want to do more than just clean himself. He is a grown man, he has feelings, he has urges. But he doesn't think of someone he hasn't actually slept with.
