Black Thunder Squad (Jikook) [ON HOLD]

VI

Jimin's P.O.V.

Things remained the same even after debut and we started to call ourselves Bangtan Boys. It was hilarious, how we sometimes dressed up funny and our amateur status also affected the way we carried ourselves. We were given concept and we tried our best to achieve perfection.

The fanbase we got wasn't huge but it was still something and I had never been this proud of myself before.

The relationship between the members also became more affectionate and we got closer to each other. The year of 2014 being even better.

And with the release of our new album, Dark and Wild, we gained even more fans.

We called them ARMY.

I liked the name, the songs, the dance, it was starting to become my life, I did find myself too detached with my school friends and family but that was something I had no control over with our busy schedule.

Our dorm obviously also changed to a better location, and with wider spaces. Though we were rooming with partners, mine being Hobi hyung, but he rarely stayed in, Jungkook always exchanged their places with each other and even the manager didn't make any fuss about it. 

What got me was that mine and Jungkook's relationship was the weirdest, he ignored me on the camera, since he was shy, but I showered him with love, brotherly love obviously. Okay so maybe I showered him with too much consideration but it was fun every time, to see Jungkook squirm in his place.

But being smart enough, I only did that in front of camera, it did attract attention of the fans and also helped with what was known as fan service, which was a strange concept but still a real deal.

Well it would be fan service if Jungkook reciprocated like he did with others, but when it came to me on camera, he would rank me the ugliest, run away from my touch and ignore me.

And behold, he did the opposite of that behind the scenes. Like sticking by my side, giving me extra attention, buying me gifts. When I was sure he never bought gifts for anyone else.

I couldn't understand what was so wrong with him in front of camera but then same went for me. I also didn't know why I needed to be so persistent with him with my teasing.

The members though kept quiet about the oddness of us, they didn't judge even though it was peculiar. Even the managers let us be, though one of them did eye me strangely when I asked Jungkook for a kiss.

And today happened to be the day when Jungkook was being extra clingy.

Wrapped all around me, his head under the crook of my neck, and his arms rubbing over my waist unnecessarily.

I was quietly making some ramen, stirring the boiling pot occasionally, or raising the flames to make it boil faster. The thing was, I was too embarrassed to even look at the maknae, my mind in turmoil over the strong soapy scent he was giving off, like I was close to suffocating in him.

"Did you shower recently?" I asked him softly, not wanting the hyungs to overhear. I had gathered that they had better hearing than I gave them credit for and each of them was almost always aware of what was going on with me.

Like there was this one instance where I was dying for ice-cream, even though I was suffering from lack of sleep and depression over my body image. But I was still wanting ice-cream and Jungkook had been the only one whom I knew I could trust with my wishes.

So obviously I had whined to him, telling him how much I was craving the sweet stuff. And not even half an hour later, I was sitting in our shared dinning room, eating the vanilla softy with delicious hums of approval.
