Always

IX. A boyfriend thing

"Common, let's do this duet for the Festa, Jahman?" JK follwed Jimin to the bathroom. He has been trying to convince Jimin to record their version of We Dont Talk Anymore. One of the producers suggested to JK that he rearranged the song for the yearly FESTA and convinced Jimin to do Selena's part. It's been days that he has been explaining to Jimin to do the collab about the cover but the latter has been saying no.

"I told you I can't. You can ask Jin hyung to do it."

Yoongi, who was heading to the kitchen, heard the two maknaes talking at the the bathroom. He headed towards the bathroom and saw Jimin washing his face while JK stood at the door looking a little exasperated.

"Are you two fighting?" Yoongi approached the two. He walked past JK then reached Jimin. He gave him a quick peck on the cheek. Water dripping from Jimin's face.

JK did not mind the display of affection. It became a normal routine of the couple inside their apartment. And the members didn't mind it anymore. At first they would throw jokes and make ugly vomiting faces every time Yoongi kisses Jimin. Tae was an exception. He would always giggle when the couple would do pda in front of them. But after the accident at the Lotte World, everything became a routine, a normal routine. And Yoongi has been more sweet, more caring towards Jimin.

"Hyung, he doesn't want to the duet? Would you like to convince him that it is only him who can justify Selena's part.

"Jin hyung can do it better. He has higher range than me." Jimin explained.

"It's not about the range. It's about the tone of your range." JK countered.

"I'm not good in English." Jimin added.

"So am I. That's why we are going to practice, Jiminie."

"It's final. I'm not going to do it, Guk. Sorry." Jimin finished washing his face and reached the towel to dry his face.

Yoongi remained silent while listening to the exchanged of words of the two. He knew Jimin adores JK so much, not just a vocalist but he treats JK like a younger brother. Their bond is different from Jimin's bond with Tae. At some point, before Jimin confessed to him, he was so jealous of JK.

"I can't believe you Jimin hyung. You know how much I want to do this song and I won't be able to do the cover without you. Your voice will definitely bring color to the song."

JK turned to Yoongi. He looked helpless.

"Can you at least help me, Suga hyung? I want to smack him right now and put in his thick head how beautiful his voice is. He is the only one who can help me justify this song."

Jimin looked at JK, who walked away exasperated and with a sad face. He felt Yoongi staring at him. He knew his boyfriend wanted to say something.

"Babe, you are staring."

Yoongi walked towards Jimin, lifted him up and had him sat at the sink. He stood in between Jimin's legs and held his gaze.

"JK is right." Yoongi gently said.

Jimin buried his face on the crook of Yoongi's neck. This is of his favourites thing to do. He likes to bury his face and smells Yoongi's neck. His scent always warm his senses.

"It's just that I'm not confident." He mumbled.

Yoongi distanced himself from Jimin causing the younger to lift his face and look at him. This younger snaked his arms around his boyfriend's neck.

"If you are not, then this is your chance to rebuild it. It's normal for us to have low confidence and doubts our selves sometimes. But it's never okay to think of yourself so low all the time. Have you forgotten all the hardest choreo and high notes you've carried so well for the past years? Have you forgotten that it is Jungkook, the best vocalist according to you, who is begging you to do this collab? Why do you think he is begging and upset that you said no? Because he knows you are the only one who can do it. I'm not saying this because you are my boyfriend, I'm saying it as a songwriter." Yoongi explained. "Believe in yourself, Love. You are a good singer."
