THEM (ON HOLD)

First Meeting

"Five minutes, Tae" The manager called. A loud chant from the fans outside can be heard from miles away. Sitting on the plush sofa of his backstage dressing room, Tae checked his phone.

The tweet he posted a couple of hours ago now has 8M likes. He sighs and puts the bottle of whiskey on the table. The AC is blasting but he still had beads of sweat on his forehead glistening like diamonds in the dimmed dressing room lights.

Trying to get up, he knocks down the almost empty bottle of whiskey and shatters it into a million pieces. He shrugs and walks over to the huge mirror.
"Now let's get this over with and find someone" he winks at himself and walks out of the room.

Kim Taehyung aka V, the latest pop music sensation. He has over 30M fans worldwide. Although he has an amazing career, he is drowning in bad reputation. From alcoholism to one night stands, he has done it all.

The concert was pretty amazing. Even though he was drunk, his fans didn't seems to care as long he was on his two feet and singing.

The three hours went by in a flash. All this time, his eyes were on one particular person at the very front of the crowd. A boy, a few years younger than Tae, probably in his early 20s, standing there, starstruck. An everlasting smile was plastered on his face while he stared at Tae with stars in his eyes. His face was the most perfect thing, Tae has ever seen. In just some quick seconds, Tae knew "He needs me tonight".

After the concert, Tae sneaked to his car and watched the guy leave. The guy walked into a nearby pub. After a couple of minutes, Tae got out of his car and walked to the pub entrance. 

Giving his bodyguards a 'wait here' sign, he pushes the door open and walks in.

The pub was pretty full, a few eyes look up and gasp at him. He winks at them and moves towards the bar where the boy was sitting.

"Hey J, what's up?" The bartender asks the boy while wiping beer foam off the counter.

"Hey Kai, just got out of V's concert. Believe me, that guy is sick. I mean his vocals...man....they are amazing. Just get me a soda today. Don't wanna get drunk tonight" The boy replies.

"One soda com-" The bartender gulps as he stares behind the boy.

"What's with the expression?" The boy laughs.

Tae sits down next to the boy who is taken aback by his idol's sudden appearance.

"The soda's on me" he tells the bartender.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" The boy asks Tae.

"Just came for a drink" Tae lies "One vodka on ice" He tells the bartender. Kai nods still, in shock, and disappears.

"I'm Taehyung but you can call me Tae or V" Tae said

"Like I don't know" Jungkook shrugged "I know a lot about you. You are my idol"

"Really?" Tae asks, voice dark and sexy "Okay, then let me quiz you"

Jungkook took a sip of his soda, lowered his voice and said "Bring it on"

"My favorite food?"

"Japchae" Jungkook replied, confidently

"Favorite color?"

"You don't have one, black white, green and purple but your most favorite one is purple"

"Why?" Tae asked, eyebrows raised a slight smirk on his lips

"Cuz quote- 'Do you know what purple means? It’s the last of the rainbow colors.
Purple means I will love and trust you for a long time" Jungkook says
