What lies we tell

Its my life too

Three months had passed, Jimin smiled more than ever and Jungkook was more demonstrative.
A few times RM had discreetly stepped in between them when they forgot they were in public.
Fans started noticing things and the Taekook and Jikook shippers seemed to be at war with each other.
Jimin found he had a lot of negative comments on his feeds but didn't show Jungkook.
He suddenly became quieter at fan meetings trying not to rock the boat.
One day they were all doing a live and had an iPad so they could scroll through comments.
The others were talking to fans about their next song so Jimin scrolled through suddenly coming to comments aimed at him.
"Your so clingy Jungkook must hate it"
"Your too ugly to be close to our maknae,"
"Your never good enough for this group Jimin,"
"Why don't you just die Jimin,"
Jimin bit his lip his face easy to read, Rm noticed and so did Suga both glancing at the iPad and Suga taking it from Jimin.
Both looked angry and Rm made up excuses to finish the live early.
The rest of the group turned to Rm to see what was up, Jimin stood up making excuses to visit the bathroom.
"What's wrong Suga?"
"Those bastards ," Suga said angrily
"What tell us,"
RM showed the others.
"Shit! Did Jimin see this," Jungkook asked.
They nodded and Jungkook ran off to the bathroom but Jimin wasn't there.
He came out saw an assistant.
"Has Jimin been here?"
"He went to the rooftop for fresh air,is everything ok?"
"Er yer,I'll join him,"
He took the stairs to the roof barging out the door and looking around.
He found Jimin head in hands sat against a wall.
"Jimin...."
The smaller brushed his hand across his eyes quickly the laughed but it was fake.
"Ah er Kookie, got grit in my eye....."
Jungkook knelt in front of him.
"I saw the comments Jimin, ignore them a handful of stupid people that's all."
"I wish.......there have been so many on my feeds all berating me, telling me I'm using you for fame, that I'm no good ...., so many of them......." He mumbled.
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"What for? I'm the one they hate why make the rest of you miserable ...."
"We are a group, we deal with things together and much as I love our fans those ones are not true fans, you can't make us live the life they want."
"But...., we'll even I wonder if I'm good enough for you or the group, maybe you and Tae would make a better couple...."
"I don't love ,Tae I love you...."
"Y-you do?"
"Of course I do what did you think?"
"Well you've never said it before, I've always known I love you but...."
"You do?"
"Huh.....oh Erm yes, I love you more than you'll ever know ."
Jungkook dragged Jimin up kissing him deeply.
Suddenly five other people burst through the door.
"Jimin...you ok we got worried!"Jin yelled
Jimin blushed red and clung onto Jungkook hiding his face.
"Er guys he seems more than ok," Suga butted in.
"Hmmm well er we will see you back down there then ,yer,c'mon you lot downstairs," RM ushered them back through the door.
Jimin giggled," oh gosh my face feels hot!"

"I'm glad your smiling again, but honestly Jimin, don't take this all on yourself, we are a couple we can deal with it and the guys are with us on this."
Jimin sighed," I know but why do some people try to make us do what they want, it's my life too I want to be who I am, with who I want, why is it so hard for others? Why are they ok shipping who they want but if faced with the real deal would pretend to be offended, love is love, nobody else can choose for you!"
He realised he'd been ranting his thoughts.
"Sorry Kookie, ignore me...., I just...., I want to show my lover off not hide you, but I know it can't happen, it's accepted but not publicly, stupid isn't it, just go on you tube gay lovers even blog but us ......ok, I'll stop now, come on let's go down."
Jimin walked to the door with Jungkook staring thoughtfully after him.
Back at the dorm Jimin said he was going for a nap, Jungkook gathered the others.
"I want to come out..."
"Out where?" Hobi asked confused
"You mean you want to go public?" RM asked
Jungkook nodded.
"I want to do a media meet with managers consent and RM, I want you there too."
"What about Jimin?"
"I'm doing it to stop the hate, did you know he's been getting it on his feeds?"
"What? Why didn't he say...., ok if your absolutely sure I'll contact the manager,when do you want it?"
"Today as soon as possible,"
"I'll come too, you three keep Jimin occupied ," Suga ordered.
Within an hour the three were at the company building.
"Are you sure Jungkook there is no turning back once this happens?" Their manager said.
"I know but I need to do it, my parents and Jimins know the group too, I won't mention Jimins name as I didn't ask him but I'm not having my live life arranged by others, you guys ready?"
Suga and RM nodded and they all walked into a room where the media was gathered.
Fifteen minutes earlier at the dorm
"Where did they go Tae?"
"Er maybe to the shop?"
"Your lying..., your eye twitches when you lie what's going on?"
"Jin Erm where's the others?" Tae asked cornering the eldest in the kitchen trying to deflect Jimins scrutiny.
Jin didn't look up busy preparing some food,
"You know they've gone to the manager Tae just....., er hi Jimin Erm , they er went to the manager to Erm discuss outfits for our new song, yer that's right outfits."
"Jin, Tae it's started look on my phone....., oh Jimin Erm,"
"What's started?"
"Nothing, nothing at all," Hobi said nervously trying to hide his phone but pressing the volume louder.
"We called the media today to express our concerns on negative comments being sent to members and specifically those that berate the LGBTQ society....."
Jimin stared at Hobi, " tell me now or I'll never speak to any off you again."
Hobi sighed," Jungkooks coming out about his sexuality, he won't name you but he will say what he wants about the online comments."
"I'm going...," Jimin said.
"I'll drive you," Tae murmured.
It ended up with the four of them going Jimin listening to the meeting via Hobi's phone.
Rm; We have always been grateful to fans for their ongoing support but lately it has been noticed that some so called fans direct negative comments to some members, this is not the fans we want to associate with.
Suga; we believe that as fans you will support us through all kinds of things not pick and choose things you like and things you don't .
RM ; we know you like to ship members together and for us at the beginning it was fun because we believed that you supported us as we do the LGBTQ society.
Jungkook; that being said it has also made some of us not be true to ourselves, we have had to hide our true nature, a part of it is to do with our society that hides what's going on and also because we didn't want to dissapointt our fans but for myself I've come to realise by pleasing others you can disappoint the important people in your life, hiding them away like a dirty little secret when they are not...., so with that...., I am gay and am in a loving relationship. I hope people can accept that and stop trying to hook me up with whom they want.
"Jungkook! Who is your partner, do we know him?"
"I do not want to say he's not here to agree to it."
"RM are you shocked by this?"
"Why should I be, we live in a world where thankfully over time things are accepted unfortunately it's slower in some places more than others."
"Is the whole group on board with this?"
"Of course we are because Jungkook is doing nothing wrong, I hope as the media you don't sensationalise it , let people be," Suga said grimly
"Why won't you name your partner? Are you ashamed of him in some way."
The door slammed open and the other four walked in, Jimin strode up confidently.
"Sorry we are late folks, now where we're you?"
"Jimin what are your thoughts on Jungkook coming out,"
"Hmmm, we'll I wish he'd waited for me to get here, as a couple we said we would do things together!"
There was a gasp," you are Jungkooks partner?"
"Yep, hands up all those who thought it was Taekook? Hah, fooled you, this is my wonderful boyfriend whom I love dearly , I hope people will stop being nasty and will support us but if they can't , we'll, I don't really care, thank you for your time ladies and gentleman have fun with the news, bye!"
He grabbed Jungkooks hand and pulled him out, Tae threw him his car keys.
Jungkook stared in disbelief at the small male, neither said a word but got in Tae's car and drove off.
"Er Jimin..."
"Hmmmmm,"
"You ok?"
"Uh ah....."
"You want me to drive?"
"Mmmmmm,"
Jimin came to a halt climbing out and going round to the passenger side. Jungkook scrambled over to the drivers side, waited for Jimin to put his seatbelt on and drive off sneaking glances at the other.
They got to the dorm and parked up. Jungkook turned to the other. He saw Jimin visibly shaking.
Taking Jimins hands in his he pulled him close.
"We will be ok, you understand?"
"Will we? I know you did this for me but what happens if fans don't accept us, will the group collapse, oh god it's my fault isn't it, they're right I'm no good for you I...."
His rambling was stopped by Jungkooks mouth kissing him to calm him.
"We do this together ok, our parents accept it, so do our friends, they are the ones that matter, the rest it's a bonus if they do and their problem if they don't, we can't be held responsible for others wishes."
Jimin nodded and they both got out going up to the dorm waiting for the others.
The evening was very subdued as if everyone was waiting for a bomb to drop.
After a restless night Jimin and Jungkook were woken by their band members.
"You two get up look!"
"Eugh, put some clothes on first, my poor eyes ,"
"What is it? We didn't get to sleep til late..."
"You two are all over the news!"
Jimin clutched Jungkooks arm.
"Ok read it let's get it over with..."
'Jimin and Jungkook come out..., much to their fans delight'
'Jikook are real thank goodness S Korea is moving with the times.'
'Parents accept that the band are a good influence with all their good deeds and support their sexuality saying it hadn't mattered so far so why should it now'
"Taekook supporters saddened at the news and accept Jikook is real'
"What!!"
"There's a few crappy comments but over all everyone doesn't mind,"
"I can't believe it!"
"Just as long as you two don't get too sappy onstage,"
"Oh gosh a true love story, I'm gonna cry,"
"Jin......!"
"Can you all get out now, we have some sleep to catch up on,"
"Sleep is that what they call it now?!?!?"
"Go!!!!"
"We are going , god youth of today....., keep it down guys I don't want to hear moaning,"
"Suga!!"
The rest left and Jungkook sprung out of bed locking the door.
"Mmm let's go back to sleep Kookie..."
"But we can celebrate....."
"Celebrate?.....oh no you don't I'm tired,"
"A little celebration...."
"No...I....oh....mmm,Kookie,"
"Shhhhhh! no moaning remember?"
"Fuck you...."
"No baby I'm the top remember so I'll be fucking you......shall we..........."
