We belong to eachother now

THIRTY NINE

"Hello from the other side!" Taehyung belts Adele's song with all his might.

From the couch me and Hoseok sing along, waving our cups in the air.

We are currently in a karaoke booth somewhere in Itaewon. The room has a U-shaped couch, with a big table in the middle filled with snacks and drinks.

The room is semi-dark with flashing neon lights covering the ceilings. In the wall opposite of the couch, the lyrics and music videos are being project.

Of course, a lot of the music the boys are singing, are Korean classics that I don't know, still they don't take themselves too seriously, which makes things fun. Whenever a western song comes up, I can't help but sing along.

We all cheer as Taehyung finishes his song. Even slightly tipsy, that boy got some pipes.

"You're next Z." Taehyung passes me the microphone.

"I don't want to do it alone." I whined.

"C'mon, it's solo round. Everyone is doing it." He insists.

"Yeah, but you all sound good. You're professionals, it's not fair." I keep whining.

"You'll be fine, baby. I heard you sing before." Jungkook tries to encourage me.

"Let's go." Taehyung pulls me up and shoves me to the center of the room.

"Fine. I just want to make it clear, I'm being forced to do this."

"Stop whining and sing!" I hear a drunk Yoongi yell and I give him a death glare, at which he only smirks.

I had already chosen the music, so without any time to waste Hoseok presses play.

The first few chords of Paris in the rain by Lauv echoed in the room. Having all 7 men focused on me, just makes me flustered.

I take a deep breath and turn my back to them, otherwise I won't get the courage to start singing.

The first few words come out a little shaky, but quickly I let myself get lost I the song. I like this song so much and am so used to sing along to it, that I started to sing it more naturally.

I begin to move along the room, not needing to look at the lyrics since I knew them by heart. It was only when my eyes locked with his that I feel my heart skip a beat.

Seeing him sitting there smiling at me, brought a bigger smile to my face. Fuck, I'm so whipped. Even just his presence, boosts my mood.

Jungkook POV

She is just so beautiful. I can't help but be in awe of her. Her sweet voice sings every note perfectly. I know I might be biased but I wouldn't mind hearing her sing this everyday.

As she finishes the song, I can't help but feel proud. The rest of the boys cheer and she shyly takes a bow. She does a little sprint and sits next to me.

"You did great." I whisper in her ear before kissing her cheek.

"Jaykay! You're up." Hobi gives me the mic.

I take the mic in my hand and stand up. I want to sing a Korean song but I want her to understand the lyrics. So I ask Namjoon hyung to translate.

He nods and takes my seat next to her. He tells her he will translate the song and she does cute little "O" with her lips, showing she is surprised by my request.
