Trouble

Monster

Namjoon checks his Twitter notifications a lot more than he normally does in the hours after uploading Trouble to the internet. And he also refreshes his SoundCloud page basically every other minute. He is always excited about reactions when he puts a new track or something out there for his followers to listen, hoping that maybe it will be spread beyond just the few hundred followers on Twitter. But Trouble literally has him checking and reading his Twitter notifications like his life depends on it. And every time the number of likes or retweets climbs a little higher he feels ecstatic. But the best thing is the comments. Even if it's just some short sentence like wow that's hot or even just a dafuq is this shit. Some people are even posting reaction memes in the comments. The song is really doing well. A lot better than the last track Namjoon put out on the internet. Yet another proof that sadly the sexual lyrics always seem to do better with the masses than his personal struggles put into words. Well, who wants to hear him rap about his performance anxiety when they can have meaningless sex to get them through the day?

Actually, the track does so well that not even a whole hour after it being uploaded Yoongi texts Namjoon to ask him literally what the fuck he thought when he did that. And to be honest, Namjoon still doesn't really have a good explanation for that. And he tells Yoongi exactly that. That he was a little drunk and that it seemed like a fun idea and that the end result turned out kind of good so he decided to post it. Yoongi's response to that is quite short. Actually, it's just one single emoji. The one that is rolling its eyes in the most annoyed and pissed of way possible. Just that emoji and nothing else. But Yoongi has the ability to give you a whole lecture about how stupid you are without actually having to type it out. That emoji alone feels like reading an entire paragraph about how much of an idiot Namjoon is. But he decides to ignore it and instead just sends another emoji back. A person shrugging his shoulders.

Yoongi will have enough time to actually lecture Namjoon when he sees him in person tomorrow. Maybe when their small gig at the club is over and they are sitting in the backstage area of that fancy club and getting drunk out of their mind. Then again, they will probably have other stuff to talk about then.

Despite saying that he would probably be five minutes late to the performance Yoongi is already there when Namjoon gets to the address Hoseok had sent him this morning. He is sitting on a small wall next to the stairs that lead up to the entrance and smokes a cigarette, not minding the annoyed glares that the people walking into and out of the building are giving him as they pass by. Out here Yoongi must stick out like a sore thumb. Probably he already got dressed up for the show later tonight before going here, knowing very well that his outfit would be repulsing. He's probably doing it on purpose. Completely in black as usual, hair slicked back and hidden away under a pierced cap, black nail polish on his fingers, black eyeliner around his eyes. Maybe he is even wearing a bit of lipstick, his lips seem a little darker and fuller as he wraps them around his cigarette to take another drag. The only thing missing from his outfit is the signature leather jacket. Instead, his arms are revealed. Milky white skin decorated with black lines that disappear under the sleaves of the T-Shirt he is wearing. Namjoon raises his hand as soon as he sees him and Yoongi acknowledges his presence with a nod. He moves over a little to the side and pats the wall next to him to signal Namjoon to sit down.

"Want one as well?", Yoongi asks after taking out his cigarette and blowing the smoke straight into Namjoon's face. He doesn't even flinch, at this point, he is used to Yoongi's teasing. Yoongi is never going to let Namjoon forget the first cigarette that he took from him and how he had a coughing fit for almost five whole minutes after taking his first drag with a how bad can it be. Namjoon is still not really fond of smoking, he only really smokes when he is drinking and it's never his own cigarettes, even though he usually carries a pack with him. But those are more an emergency pack in case that Yoongi is running out than in case of Namjoon wanting to smoke one himself. Just like how Namjoon only carries around a lighter in case of cute girls asking him for fire. Or cute boys.
