What never should've happened.

Smokes and popcorn

The alarm blasted at 5:55 and you woke up with a groan, spread out over Yoongi's naked chest and his arms around you.

“Yah…why did you set the alarm so early? Do you have a meeting or something?” He asked as he reached for your phone with one arm and silenced the alarm.

“Mmm…no,” you stretched and rolled to your side of the bed. Yoongi complained but you were already sitting against the bedframe, the sheets pooling on your waist. “But I'd be a fool to waste insider information and not be ready for the mv drop.”

Yoongi laughed and went to hug your midsection, resting his head on your tummy. With one hand you were holding your phone where you both could see it and with the other, you were playing with his hair.

“Having a girlfriend who is also Army is the best.” He gave you a squeeze. “Remind me to kick Jungkookie's ass for timing this so early.”

“Well, international Army are going to love you. It's usually us who have to get up at 3 or 4 in the morning to catch lives or mv drops. I think he made the right choice.”

“Don't tell him that. His ego is big enough as it is.” He groaned and kissed your tummy, “alright,” he pushed up and went to sit beside you, pulling you into him. “Might as well watch it properly.”

He turned on the tv, went on YouTube and waited.

At one minute to six the Weverse notification dropped and the countdown video popped on YouTube. The view count began moving up and up at an extremely fast pace.

“I told you, jagi, we're a starved fandom. We'll take anything and everything you give us. We never left.”

You noticed he was focused on the screen and was chewing on his bottom lip. Grabbing his hand you also noticed that it was sweaty.

“Hey,” you gently turned his face to yours, “gwenchana. Everything will be perfect, you'll see.” He nodded.

The countdown reached ten seconds. You giggled, you truly were excited. And then it began…

It was completely unexpected and different to what they had done before. You were confused for a second but you understood: they were not the same. Their time in the military and away from Army had changed them. They were no longer young boys or even young men, they were men. They evolved and they grew.

The song was amazing, the mv was amazing and you were sure, even without having heard it yet, that the whole album would be amazing.

When the video ended you immediately went to hit replay but Yoongi stopped you.

“So…what do you think?”

“My love…it's amazing. It's a fresh, new sound. It shows your growth and your evolution. If the rest of the album is like this, you have nothing to worry about. Army will love. I love it.”

“You mean that? Because you looked a bit…lost there at the beginning.” He was frowning.

“Okay, yes, I was lost and confused. I was waiting for something more…bubbly, maybe? But it took thirty seconds for it to hit me. You guys are not the same you were three years ago. Your music was bound to change and that's a good thing. The world is not the same place it was when you guys stopped and neither are your fans. It will be a hit. I know it.”

“Cause you're always right?” He asked with a shy smile.

“Exactly. I'm glad you finally got it.” He tickled you.

“Hands off! I need to watch this at least five more times so I can dissect the choreo, appreciate the outfits and thirst over my boyfriend and his hot band mates.” You hit play again.
