Key (BTS fanfiction)

Fighting For What?

"Can I do your make up? Noona? Key? Noo-"

"What?"

I say, glancing up confusedly from the agendas and list of numbers I'm working through, someone's spectacles placed on my nose because I think there's something going funny with my vision.

"Noona you have dark circles..."

I focus in on Jungkook's face, seeing a few brushes in his hand and make up supplies spread out on the table at the couch. I would much rather spend time getting ready for our promotions, reading the comments on videos and coaching everyone on what not to do in the next live radio show. Instead with much pleading from big eyed Jungkook I relent, setting down the agenda planner and following him to the couch. I know he's doing this to cover up the bruising on my face, something that's been bothering him since I came home two nights ago. Instead of lessening it's progressively gotten worse, purple bruising covering one side of my face like spattered paint. He turns on the desk lamp and ties my actually brushed hair back, my mind whirring with tasks. He sits on the table in front of me, legs zig zagged with mine and peppermint breath in my face. I'm thankful he's taken to brushing his teeth daily, something I tend to forget when it's busy. I remembered today though! I wonder who's toothbrush I've been using...

"Noona I'm sorry."

He says, hand loosely holding my chin.

"Sorry for what Jungkook?"

I reply, eyes closed as he brushes powder on my nose and eye lids.

"Why did you take on the extra fight? Why, why would you let yourself get hurt like this?"

I sigh, wishing I knew why I did so myself.

"I took on the extra fights after because I knew I could, it was the third fight that knocked me up. Jungkook, it's not about fighting to earn money or to get stronger, it's something I need to do. Without it I don't know how strong I am, how strong I can be for everyone else."

"That, that doesn't make sense Key."

He says, smearing more concealer on my face in a desperate attempt to cover up shades of deep purple.

"I fight because it makes me feel less weak. Jungkook I've been weak my whole life and I won't let myself be that way ever again, and if getting beat up in a ring makes me feel strong then I'm not going to stop. Jungkook, this isn't the last time I'll come home from a fight looking half dead because I always go against someone stronger than me, and if it bothers you then-"

And he presses his lips against mine, soft and sweet and innocent. His hand rests on the back of my neck, pulling me closer to the edge of the couch with his other hand on my leg. His kisses are fluttery and light, barely there as he cushions his lips against mine and I find myself kissing back and desperately trying to be as gentle as he is. It's like a first kiss, compelling and eager but scared at the same time as he pulls away with a blush and his hand still on my neck. He leans in again as if he's making sure he did it right the first time, a double check of his lips on mine that makes my mind slow right down.

"Noona-"

"Noona is right Jungkook I'm sure I'm a few years older than you."

"Key I don't want us to lose you to an underground fight for a few yen! If you want to fight for the sake of it then no one can stop you, but please don't go do something that'll kill you."

"Jungkook the ring has rules, you can't beat someone dead."

I ignore that I learned that rule the hard way, Jungkook's eyes now trained on his converse and hand sliding off of my neck. His concern is, it's foreign to me, and I don't really know how to take it other than brushing it off.

"Jungkook no one cares how badly I get banged up in the cage why do you? You know I'll make it out alive so what's the worry?"

I ask, honestly confused. He's done an impressive job with the make up, my sleepless and battered expression now much more normal in the hand mirror. He smiles sadly at me, my question going unanswered as he packs away the brushes and compacts. Another quick kiss is pressed to my lips that I decide to take advantage of because I have not gotten this kind of attention in a while. I take his chin in my hand and hold him there, deepening the kiss slightly, enjoying how miraculously soft his lips are against my dry ones. He pulls away with a boyish blush and I let the entire matter slide, wanting to just enjoy the feeling of being cared for without worrying about it. Senses humming I return to the agenda, feeling sort of spoiled by his tenderness as I phone SM and tell them that Big Hit Bangtan is going to kick their ass one day.

Jungkook's P.O.V.

I cannot deal with how sweet Key's lips tasted, powdered sugar from the doughnut she was eating linking up two of my favorite things, Key and sweets. I honestly can't think of anyone else I've met that I'd want to be my first kiss, my first real kiss because schoolyard dares don't count. I slide Key's phone off the table, pulling up the contacts and copying a number down onto my own phone. Upon calling a gruff voice answers, music thrumming loudly in the background.

"Hello? I, I need to book a fight tonight."

When I reach the ring I got directions for I'm almost too scared to go in, but I think I need to do this, there's something bigger that needs to happen. I repeat Key's words in my head as a tattooed guy starts sizing me up, fist banging together as he waits for the bell to ring.

"You can't beat someone dead."

Oh how I hope that's true when he swings a fist at me, leaving me a helpless bloodied mess in no time.

HOLY SHIT JUNGKOOK WHAT YOU DO????? Okay Fam I've got a job for all of you. Last chapter had sixteen views, so I'm calling on EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU to answer these questions because I am way too lazy to do my own research for this and I KNOW the stuff I need to know is already stored in someone's Kpop riddled brain. Comment the answers on this chapter and I will

*give you a chapter dedication
*shout out your work if you have one
*read your work and comment/vote
*be your friend

Okay! So! Here's the questions in dire need of answering, I'm testing your Bangtan knowledge guys, shine like diamonds.

1.) How old are the members? What year were they each born?

2.) Can I get a list of their earliest songs written?

3.) What the HECK is Korean currency guys if you don't explain me this one they will be using looneys and toonies and nickels and dimes for the rest of this book.

4.) this one is hard but I'm 99.99999% sure one of you know this. When did each member get their ears pierced? Like when did Tae get the three piercings in his one ear? I need like a time line for this...all I know is Hobi is too manly for piercings PFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT

I will be eternally grateful to whomever answers even one of these! And if you ever have an idea for a bonus chapter just let me know and I will consider it.

Update: y'all should be thankful a certain ginaWolf_kiwi answered all of these and did a hella good job because you are all off the hook for the next while.
