Jungkook had a migraine.

It was the kind of searing pain that tore into the left side of his brain. It started as a small blur in his vision, and he watched the blur widen continuously, leaving behind one of the worst headaches he's possibly ever had.

He blamed it on BTS.

Not exactly BTS, he blamed it on the photoshoot they were doing. It was for their new comeback Loveyourself Her, one they had been developing and working on for a while. Even Jungkook could see the amount of work put into this. 

Still, the lights of their location had Jungkooks head reeling, and that and his other recent development.  The old-looking pizza restaurant they were shooting at had the kinda light bulbs you could hear buzzing from another room. The kind that made your eyes ache if you looked at them for too long.

He watched silently, as he always did, eyes squinting as he tried to adjust to the biting pain in the side of his head. He wanted to be anywhere else right now. He tried to steady himself on the wall he had his back to, silently behind the cameras, watching as the members were adjusted. Hair neatly put back into place, a brush of blush on their already rosy cheeks, Jungkook chewed at the inside of his mouth as he watched.

Maybe he could ignore the headache, or even the buzzing, or the sound of people rustling, but what he couldn't ignore was the staring. 

Namjoon was staring at him.

It felt like every time he turned around, holes were getting burned into the back of his head. He assumed it was for one of two reasons. He thought it could just be because he hated him and was glaring, but the one that made more sense to Jungkooks muddled brain was that he was staring because of last night. 

Jungkook didn't necessarily blame him. The rush of last night had his mind buzzing more than it had ever before. For all the time Jungkook spent hating vampires, he had never actually had one get so close to him before. 

It was the best rush he's ever had.

The kind that caused you to spend your whole life searching for the same thrill again.

He wanted to believe he never truly understood the allure of vampires, but even he could admit to being curious sometimes. Namjoon did a great job of making that sometimes, all the time. It was the only thing Jungkook could think about, and it bothered him endlessly.

Namjoon was visibly making it worse by staring, and he wasn't shy about it either. If Jungkook happened to look Namjoons way, he'd eye lock with the older. It made Jungkook shift nervously, fingers twitching at every flash of the camera. They had been there for over ten hours by this point, and yet the photographer still wasn't satisfied.

"Okay, everybody, we are going to have a break. Please come back within ten minutes." The photographer yelled, earning everyone's attention.

Jungkook watched the members separate. Namjoon and Jin stayed where they were, but everyone else had scrambled off to do whatever. Not that Jungkook cared as long as they were back within the ten-minute window. 

The outfits they had on were just as bright as the setting, Jungkook knowing he'd need to invest in a heavy supply of migraine medication if it was going to be like that the whole comeback. He had been given a brief layout of what the next few months were going to look like, but the specifics were left unknown. 

Even Jungkook knew this album would be big. He had the opportunity to actually listen, and if he didn't dislike the members, he may actually be willing to listen to the music. It was all really good, a perfect album, even down to the solo Jimin was given to sing. They all did an amazing job, but it wasn't like he was going to acknowledge it, though; he did still hate them.
