Like Brother, Like Lover

Chapter Twelve

Between the choreography, costume changes, singing, rapping, and interacting with the crowd, Jimin had no time to talk to Yoongi. The few times they had even been near each other was in between songs when they took a quick break to maybe drink some water or talk. The energy that was radiating off of the thousands of ARMYs in the audience was an incredible feeling, and Jimin felt as if he was on top of the world.

He quickly disrobed and put on the now infamous Love Yourself t-shirt on with his skinny black jeans. In the same fashion he touched up his makeup by himself (one of his secret talents was in the makeup field) and fixed a few stray strands of hair. He looked in the mirror one last time and started to head out.

But then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a bit of glistening pale skin.

His heart stopped, and he froze mid step. His small hands began to sweat, and his breathing became irregular. He took a small step backwards, and turned his head ever so slightly to catch a better look at what was behind him. Min Yoongi's bare back shown back at him, the light perfectly illuminating the angel's defined and well-proportioned muscles. He had to stop himself. They weren't the only two in the room. There were staff running this way and that, making sure that the members looked perfect for their encore songs, but Jimin couldn't stop himself from staring. The way the sweat glistened on the elder's back, creating an ethereal glow. The younger could stare at that man forever.

"Jimin-ssi, let's go please," called one of the staff members, half dragging Jimin out of the changing rooms.

The younger just responded with a slight nod as he continued to stare at Yoongi as he was dragged out. He bit his bottom lip as Yoongi slid on his own Love Yourself t-shirt. Fuck the man was so sexy.

As he left the doorway, putting all thoughts Yoongi related behind him, Jimin stared forward, ready for the last few songs before the end of the night. He turned at the sound of Jin's windshield wiper laugh and Jungkook's giggling. This made Jimin smile. The other members' happiness was his happiness. As the seconds passed, the other members came from various areas backstage. Finally, with one minute left, all seven were present in a small circle, ready to end the final show of their tour.

"Remember, -" Namjoon started before being cut off by Jungkook.

"Let's make this the best one everrrrr!" Finished the maknae, his huge bunny smile illuminating everything within a 100 mile radius.

Namjoon gave a defeated shrug.

"Yes, the best one ever. Remember I love you all."

At this point Jimin looked up at Yoongi who was staring at the floor with a big smile. Jimin knew that the final songs were always Yoongi's favorites, because it was when they could the most themselves. God Jimin loved him so much.

"Show time!" They heard the stage managed yell as the seven headed out, patting each other on the back and doing last minute touch ups to their hair and clothing.

As fate would have it, Jimin and Yoongi were the last two members to head out. It's now or never Jimin thought. So, without thinking, he grabbed the elder's left hand with his left. The shock on Yoongi's face was almost comical, but just as fast as Jimin had grabbed Yoongi's hand, Yoongi gave it a big squeeze before dropping it with a hint of sadness in his eyes. With the drop of his hand, Jimin felt his heart drop to. Was this him getting rejected for a second time? Jimin stood frozen as he watched Yoongi's back become illuminated by the stage lights, and the roars of the fans erupted once again at the sight of the angel that was Min Yoongi. Tears welled up once more in the younger's eyes. Maybe this whole love thing wasn't going to work.

With that, Jimin walked out onto stage, his delicate eye smile a meer façade. Just make it through this concert, after today, you can cry all day everyday if you want to. Surprisingly, the younger had been clenching and unclenching his fists, something that ARMY had probably already noticed at this point and were trying to figure out what it meant. To set things right, Jimin made a point of looking into the GA audience and blowing a big kiss. He laughed as the screams of hundreds of girls came from the area as a result. With the power of ARMY, Jimin thought, I might be able to make it through. Then again, he continued, I might not.
