War of Hormone | BTS

MAMA

[requested]

It was a huge crowd as usual. To Aerum, it was amazing how many fans showed up for their favorite groups. She could even see ARMY in the audience from the backstage.

She never got used to performing live. It still made her nervous, but it was never bad enough to make her puke or breakdown. Usually, she would always have a necklace she would hold when she was nervous or just for the sake of it, but the stylist often took it off when it didn't match with her outfit.

Jimin gave her that necklace. It was the day they debuted, and while he did not have the best taste at the time, she still treasured what he picked out. It wasn't the most expensive necklace, so it wasn't too stable, but even if it broke, Aerum would always find a way to fix it.

"You okay, Aerum?"

She turned around and she swore her heart skipped a beat. "Hi, G."

Kwon Jiyong, also known as G-Dragon, was behind her in a wonderful button-up shirt. He smiled and patted her head. He wasn't the most attractive man out there, but he was enough to make her faint.

"Are you okay?" he repeated. "You look a little down."

"Oh! I'm fine - totally fine! Thank you for checking up on me, I guess," Aerum responded.

"Well, I couldn't leave a beautiful woman to be moping around to herself," he said.

Aerum's eyes widened. "Beau-Beautiful? What?"

Jiyong laughed, gaining the attention of the people around the pair. "Yeah, beautiful. What, you don't believe me?"

"Yes - no - I mean - I don't know. I don't think I'm... Yeah."

Aerum shut her eyes and prayed that he wouldn't be there anymore when she opened her eyes. He was still there when she opened her eyes.

"You're beautiful, Aerum. You should be proud of the body you have. You aren't like the other female idols. You went on strike when the manager tried to put you on a diet, remember?"

Aerum chuckled. "Because women - especially idols - shouldn't care that much about their bodies. I'm glad I have a little fat roll."

He chuckled and put his hand underneath her chin, tilting her head up. "See what I mean?"

"Hello, G-Dragon!" Jimin exclaimed.

Jiyong let go of Aerum.

Jimin stood next to her and put his arm around her waist. Aerum stared at Jimin in confusion as he smiled up to Jiyong.

"Hi, Jimin," he replied with the same smile Jimin had on his face.

Aerum stared between the two and noticed that Jimin's grip got tighter as if he were saying to not say anything.

Jimin turned his attention away from Jiyong to look down at Aerum. "I have to talk to you about Jin-hyung."

Jiyong noticed that it was his cue to leave. He waved goodbye to them. "I'll see you later!"

Aerum and Jimin waved goodbye to him with a smile on their faces.

"What was that about?" Aerum asked, twisting her body around in Jimin's body.

He still wouldn't let go of her waist. "Couldn't you see he was flirting with you?"

"Couldn't you see I was having a nice conversation with him?" she retorted.

Jimin gave her a hard stare, then his eyes traveled down. "The stylist took off the necklace again?"

Aerum nodded. "Guess you didn't pick one that would match with everything."

He smiled and pressed a tight kiss to the side of her head. "It's okay. I'll buy you a better one soon."
