Noona

Outro: Solution

JUNGSOON

"Uhhhhhhh, Kookie," Jimin chuckles nervously, "that's uh... I know we're close, and you and Jungsoon are very, very similar—"

"—exactly." Jungkook stops him mid-sentence. "That's why, even though the thought of kissing you makes me want to throw up, you're going to kiss me in front of ARMY so no one thinks that you're dating Noona."

I can't manage to pick my jaw up off the floor right now, whereas Namjoon seems rather unfazed by the idea. "Jungkook that's insane."

"This is what happens when the girl responsible for protecting our public image is hormonal," Namjoon chuckles. "Charlotte has been trying to find a solution for you guys for weeks, and this is what she came up with."

"If ARMY thinks you and Jungkook are dating, they'll never figure out that it's actually me." I can't help but fight back my laughter, but then the image of Jimin and Jungkook kissing comes to mind and I recoil in horror. "Ew, I don't want to watch you kiss my little brother."

"It's not so fun on this side of the creepy incest triangle, is it Noona?" Jungkook smirks at me as if he's making a point.

"I really don't want to," Jimin whines. He aims his puppy dog eyes at Namjoon, who throws his hands up in innocence.

"Don't look at me. I'm just here to facilitate."

"You want to date Noona? This is the price." Jungkook states firmly. "She got attacked because people think you have a girlfriend, and now they're out for blood. The only person they won't try to murder for dating you is one of the members, and since Noona and I look alike, I'm the best option. Trust me, if there were another way around this, I would do it, but I'm not letting her be put in danger anymore."

Jimin looks at me and sighs. "If this doesn't prove that I love you, I don't know what will."

"I pretended to be Jungkook, now just pretend he's me." I try to not giggle, but Jimin's look of disgust is just too funny.

"That is not helping," he groans.

I stand from his lap and offer him my hand. "Come on, silly."

"I can't believe I have to do this," Jimin grumbles but takes my hand anyways. "I think it's best I wait in here for a little bit while you guys... you know..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Jungkook bats his hand at me. "Who's the best brother in the world?"

I smile and kiss his cheek. "You are, Kookie."

"And who's the best boyfriend?" Jimin feigns insult by clutching his chest.

"So dramatic," I huff before kissing his cheek as well. "You are, baby."

"He's my baby until we get on that plane," Jungkook jokes, but once he hears what he's just said, he fights the urge to throw up. "We're going to pretend that I did not just say that."

"Yeah, because we both know I would top," Jimin chuckles, and both my brother and I grimace.

"Alright lovebirds, you go do... whatever, and make it look convincing. Hobi hyung is going to send a video to Charlotte so she can leak it." Namjoon ushers my boys out of the bathroom with Jimin pushing Jungkook's wheelchair.

"That ought to be interesting," I chuckle as the boys vanish, leaving me and Namjoon to ourselves.

"Are you alright?" Namjoon studies my face carefully, and I debate whether or not to lie so he won't worry.

"No offense, but your fans scare the living shit out of me," I confess, and Namjoon let's out a warm laugh.

"Don't worry, they scare Charlotte too. She pretends that they don't intimidate her anymore, but why do you think we're staging this fake breakup? They hardly tolerate me having a girlfriend. How would ARMY treat my baby?" He shakes his head and looks toward the door. "I swear they mean well, they just get a little too invested at times. When everyone found out about Charlotte, it was still a big deal but honestly, I'm not a fan favorite. ARMY sees Jimin as their baby boy, so him having a girlfriend is particularly concerning to them."
