Chapter 5-

*1 week later*

It had officially been a week since meeting the guys, I knew them all like the back of my hand by now. The first concert of the tour would kick off in Seoul, tonight. I couldn't even express in words how nervous yet excited I was. My job was to perform a few songs of my own and get the audience excited for BTS to perform, not that they wouldn't be already.

Jungkook had really helped me prepare for my performances over the short period of time we'd been with each other, he was so encouraging and he really pushed me to be the best version of myself, plus he was a literal dork sometimes so when I got down on myself for not being able to hit some high notes he always knew exactly how to cheer me up again. I wasn't gonna sit here and say I didn't care deeply for him, I really did, but, I had to keep our relationship strictly professional, my dream was more important than a spur of the moment short lived romance right? Yeah, right. Well, enough about that, I had a concert to prepare for.

time:7.18pm
location: Olympic Stadium, Seoul, Korea.

It was exactly 12 minutes until I had to go on stage, my nerves were taking over and I was beginning to hyperventilate, so I took a seat on one of the spare speakers side of stage and leant on both my knees, inhaling through my nose and exhaling through my mouth repeatedly, trying to calm myself down.

The guys had already wished me luck before I came up here because they were still down in hair and makeup and couldn't come up with me so I literally had no one except a member of staff who was too busy on her headset to help me out. I felt like I was gonna faint so I closed my eyes to try and regain my composure, i then feel a pair of hands clasp both my arms and I look up to see a worried Jungkook crouched down to my level and looking into my eyes with a concerned expression "y/n is everything okay?! I came to see you perform but then I see you like this, what's up?!" I talk through my breathless pants "I-I couldn't breathe..I-I'm scared Jungkook...so scared.." he pulls me into a warm embrace and lovingly traces little circles with the tips of his fingers on my back, immediately taking whatever stress I had and casting it aside, I just focused on Jungkook, his eyes, his smile, his touch, and somehow, I just seemed to be fine again, myself again.

"You can do this y/n, you're fearless, I know you have it in you, now it's time to show the world what you got okay?" I swallow the dryness in my throat and I nod my head in response "yeah, yeah..you're right. I can totally do this! Right?" He smiles at me, still holding onto my arms tight, then, he stands up and extends his hand out for me to take and, of course, I happily oblige. As we stand side of stage a staff member approaches and says "Kim Y/N? It's time.." I look up to Jungkook and flash him a smile, he looks intensely at me and says for a final time "you got this." I gave him a look of reassurance and followed the staff member underneath the stage and onto the stage lift, ready to enter through the trap door centre stage.

As soon as I heard my name being announced it suddenly hit me that this was actually happening, my dream was becoming a reality right in front of my eyes. This was my time to shine, and I had never been more ready for anything in my entire life. All my songs went down so much better than I could ever have expected, everyone cheered and it was an amazing feeling being up there and having more than 10,000 people applaud you, I felt exhilarated, but most of all, I felt loved. I done my bows and thank yous and quickly exited the stage, then I seen it, that smile, he waited for me.

After all the adrenaline kicked in my body surged with electricity and I couldn't deny how utterly content I was in that moment. I jumped onto him with a tender hug as I wrap my legs around his waist, I stay there for a minute and didn't say a word, I was just really happy that he was the first one I got to see, got to hold. I pulled back and looked deeply into his eyes with a wide grin, our smiles suddenly fade as we realise how intimate the moment had become, my breathing hitches a little and neither of us dare to break our lengthy gaze, then I hear footsteps coming from backstage and I quickly place my feet back on the ground and look down awkwardly as all the members come in side of stage, ready to perform.

"Wow, you guys look amazing! Best of luck!" I exclaim, all the guys smiled and Taehyung said to me "I saw you on the TV down there, you did great y/n! Not one melody was out of tune, I'm so proud of you!" I laugh a little and nudge him on the shoulder "Thanks Tae.." he nods and they all make their way underneath the stage to enter the same way I did. I then went down to the changing rooms and watched the performance on the TV down there, just like the guys had with me.

After the show everyone was so hype and excited to perform again, the first show would always hold special memories for me, i just knew it would. The energy levels didn't disappoint and the audience was so much more supportive than I could have ever imagined, maybe this wasn't such a bad idea after all.

To celebrate, everyone decided to go out for something to eat and maybe even a little to drink if we really felt like it. We came to this cute little restaurant the guys frequented regularly, so regularly in fact that they had their own private room, we were all having such a great time, but then I had to go to the bathroom so I left for a few minutes to freshen up..

Once I came back all the guys had had a little too much to drink and the only sober ones were probably me, Jimin and Jungkook. Jimin volunteered to take the rest of the guys back to the dorm and Jungkook offered to walk me home again, so I accepted his kind offer for a second time. The walk back home was actually pretty silent, it was like we were both thinking about things but not actually saying them out loud.

Once I got to my door I turned around to face him and said "Well, tomorrow I'm going on a plane for the first time so that should be fun! I packed literally all of my stuff, my room looks so empty! You'll pick me up tomorrow right?" He looked at me and his eyes had a tinge of sadness in them, like he wanted to say something but just didn't know how. "Kookie? Are you okay?" He closes his eyes and take a deep breath "I've been trying to tell you this for a while now, but I've realised that there's never gonna be a right time to do it, so, I guess I'm just gonna have to do it now. I like you y/n, okay? And not just like you I LIKE like you, I just- I need to you if you feel the same way too or if I'm completely out of my league here."

I take a step back in shock at what he just said to me, he likes me? He wants to, be with me? I'm completely speechless, I try to speak but it's as if my mouth had been sewed shut, "Jungkook I-I..."
