Destined

Like Oil and Water

Taehyung's PoV

Don't get me wrong. I don't have anything against rules. In fact, I think they are important. Wonderful even (don't smirk!). I think they are required to keep things calm, in place, and prevent chaos. Yes, I really think so.

The problem is, rules and I don't go well together. Because I, am chaos.

And when Kookie is with me, we kinda magnify the chaos. We're compatible like that. It's the reason why the shiest kid in the band always got in trouble with the management. It's me. I am the reason. I bring out the devil in Koo. In life. And in bed (what? It's true).

There are so many things I swear he would've never done if he were friends with anybody else the way he was friends with me. I'm not saying I am a bad influence on him. No no no no no. I am saying I am amazing at convincing people to live it up a little. Can't imagine how boring and tiring our dorms would have been without my genius pranks. (go ask the hyungs, they love me for bringing laughter into their lives)

So I was saying, I don't gel well with rules. Whenever someone tells me something is off-limits, my urge to do it kinda magnifies. Like a truant kid. Hobi hyung says I forgot to grow up. Well. They need someone to baby over. I'm being generous is all. Tch.

I tend to get more boisterous on stage or during VLive when they tell me not to. You know, after so many years they should've learnt that I am perfectly capable of not messing things up if they are not proactively telling me not to do stuff. I wouldn't be calling Kookie to join me during a live while wearing those pants if they hadn't ticked me off for being too loud on stage with Kook. I wouldn't even try to act seductive on camera when I know I don't have to try too hard to get my boyfriend's attention. That live was hard for Kookie and for Jimin. AND for the staff. (I'm not complaining, it was a good night for me)

Namjoon hyung is amazing at handling this side of me. He just tells me to be msyself. And I am instantly on alert. I know there are responsibilities and boundaries are there for a reason. He never tells me to cut it out. Guess there is a reason why he is the leader.

But he does tell me that I bring out the mischief in Kook. He acknowledges that Kook is absolutely himself when he is with me. Once when I let it slip that I sometimes feel like I spoil him, he told me never to think that way. "Taehyung-ah, if Jungkook-ah didn't have these layers in him, he would've never clung to you like this. He was a reserved boy. He broke out of his shell with you because he loved what he saw. He wanted to be a mischief-maker, your partner in crime. Trust me, that kid is so stubborn, you can't make him do anything he doesn't want to do."

Ohh boy I know about that. Making Jeon Jungkook do something against his will is impossible. Only three things work if you have to make him agree with something he hates doing - his love for army, his love for his family, and his love for me. I have been made the scapegoat many times when the members had to convince him to do something he would say no to. And I have been teased to death as many times because he says yes to me in a heartbeat. "We have to fucking list pros and cons for him Taetae, all you have to do is pout!" Jin hyung complains. It's true. (yeah yeah I am very proud of it)

So I was talking about rules. And my amazing friendship with them. Which is now the same case for my boyfriend.

After the last PTD tour where #Taekook drove the internet crazy, AND after we became quite suggestive on our individual Instagram accounts (the public ones), I knew that the number of warnings before the 2022 PTD tour wouldn't be less. There were too many - 'control yourselves a little on stage and during lives you two' - for my liking. And the more the warnings kept coming, the more I knew in my guts that things would go out of hand. It's like an itch. And it's like my restlessness triggers Kookie too. I was actually worried about this tendency of ours and so I spoke to Yoongi hyung about this. Yoongi hyung gets me. He gets me like no one else. Actually, he gets us all like no one else. He's the mirror of the group. Whenever we need a reality check, we go to him.

"Ohgod are you here for advice again?"

"Hyung!"

"Yaaah. Don't pout at me, I am not Jungkook"

"Please hyung, I need to talk to you"

"If this is what I think this is, you better drag that daft boyfriend of yours here too. I am not going to have the same conversation twice"

"How do you always know?"

"I just do"

"I'll call him"

"Yeah I guess there's no way out of this for me. Might as well get it over with"

Kookie came. And looked at us, confused.

"Sit you two. You want to know how to behave during this tour?"

"H..h..how do you know? Tae you told him?"

"Nope"

"Listen kid, I know you two for too long now"

"O..okay"

"There isn't much I have to say kids. You all know what we've planned to do for this year's BTS anniversary. You also know this is going to be our last tour for quite a while. Our solo careers will take over, our military duties will be knocking at the door. If you ask me, I'd say don't hold back too much. There's a certain liberty we all can take on stage, in the name of fan service, so enjoy this tour to the most. Don't worry so much about rules and what people will say, and how things will pan out."

I don't think Yoongi hyung realised Kookie would take him so seriously and come sit on my lap in front of thousands of people at the concert, and millions of people worldwide, when he said what he said.

Neither did I, honestly. Nope, it wasn't planned. Not by me atleast. When I saw the confident smirk on his face from the fancam videos, I realised he'd planned it out in that devil head of his.

Umm... yeah I LOVED it.
