3.Con Crud

Jungkook POV

I was lying on my bed, coughing and sneezing. I had got something from someone from somewhere I was in the past few days. Now my members were helping me, and to think this started because I wanted to hang out with some friends.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The winner of Song of The Year goes to...BTS!" The actress on the stage called as the audience erupted with cheers for us.

This isn't the first award we won at the show. It's at least the third or fourth one, but I will always be forever grateful. As my band and I walked up to the stage, I could hear Namjoon hyung reciting his speech. I looked out at the idol section and noticed all my friends sitting with their groups. I waved to them. Some noticed, and some didn't.

We made it to the stage and Namjoon handed me the award as he spoke to fans in both Korean and English. I held the award above my head like Simba playfully, eliciting a few cheers and giggles from fans. I put my arms back down and handed the award to our manager from backstage to keep the award safe, while the award show concluded. As we all went back on stage to wave bye to fans, I noticed a few idols that looked a little under the weather before bumping into the 97' line of Seventeen.

"Jungkook!" Mingyu called.

"Hey, you guys!" I replied, finally catching Myungho and Dokyeom's attention.

"Congrats on another win hyung," Myungho said.

"Thank you. Same to you guys as well," I answered.

I felt a hand grasp my shoulder and turned around to see a head of light brown hair.

"Jaehyun!"

"I saw you guys talking and thought I'd join in."

The Seventeen members said their hellos as we started walking towards the exit, where all our bandmates were going.

"How long has it been since we last hung out? All of us," I asked.

Dokyeom paused in his steps and counted on his hands.

"At least half a year. We've all been so busy with schedules."

"Why don't we see if we can hang out tonight?"

"I'm down," Jaehyun asked, already on his phone messaging someone.

I pulled out my phone and sent my manager a message, asking about spending time with my friends. I knew I had a group interview tomorrow—especially with our new win—so I wasn't sure if they'd allow it. To my surprise, they did. I looked up at my friends' faces and they all had smiles too, which gave me an answer.

"I'm going to text the group chat, and see if they'll be able to make it," Myungho said and a beep hit all our phones.

"If they can make it, I say we go to my house," I suggested.

"Sounds like a plan," Mingyu agreed.

As we waited for responses, I sent a message into the BTS group chat about my meet-up. Namjoon was quick to reply.

"I already heard. Just make sure to be mindful; we have an interview at noon tomorrow. Have fun!"

His message brought a smile to my face as more similar responses came from the other members. My phone buzzed with a notification from the other group chat and everyone was able to make it, including our newest member: Bang Chan of Stray Kids. We went our separate ways to head back to go get out of our suits and professional clothes for more comfortable attire.
