Im Jaebeom: Collection

Sometime: Jaebeom Songfic

Jaebeom had been best friends with you for years. The two of you met since you both worked under JYPE - him as an idol (a trainee when you met him) and you as a producer and songwriter. The two of you clicked because of your love for music and you've been inseparable since.You had gotten to know each other when Jaebeom first approached you, wanting to learn how to write songs. You had been more than happy to help him and your friendship had blossomed from there.

A lot of people don't know this about Jaebeom because he hides his feelings very well, but like any other human, he has his dark days too. He understands his position as a leader and ensures that he always comes across as strong and dependable. You're the only one outside of his members that know that this isn't always the case.

You can always tell when a storm is brewing deep inside Jaebeom's heart - especially because he avoids you when the moment arises. He spends most of his time in the studio, writing his thoughts his away. Sometimes, he doesn't come to see you for days. His communication with you is minimal, whether it be physical or verbal and it always breaks your heart a little.

"I can't do this." Jaebeom cries to your shoulder. "I don't know how. I worked so hard on this album for them and I couldn't even get them a win. You gave me inspiration and I couldn't convey them properly. I am failing as their leader and as your friend. I'm not good enough."

"Don't you ever say such things again." You gently scold him as you cup his face in your hands and level it with yours. "These things are not in your control. The others are very proud of the album and have been thankful for your hard work. I am very proud of what you had written with the ideas I had helped you with. You haven't failed anybody. The others love you and I love you, Im Jaebeom. You are more than enough."

Jaebeom reasons that he pulls away from you when this happens because he doesn't want to drag you down with him. Luckily for him, you have a stubborn streak so you never listen. You're always there to dive in after him, pulling him back to the surface.

Jaebeom was always thankful to have you as a constant in his life. You had always been there for him - for the big things and the little things. There would be times he would find himself staring at the ceiling of his bedroom, loneliness starting to envelop him.

Weirdly enough, he almost smiles when the feeling approaches, knowing that he could always go over to your apartment, walk into your room and you would be there welcoming him to join you. You would lift your doona and scoot over as he climbs in, nestling into him as he encases you in his arms.

It came as a surprise to nobody, that the two of you would develop feelings for each other. Over the years, both of your feelings had become more obvious and while neither of you had planned to do anything about it, Jackson had other ideas.

You find yourself trapped in the small walk-in closet with Jaebeom during an alcohol filled game of seven minutes in heaven. What are the chances of the bottle pointing towards you when it was his turn to spin? You stand there awkwardly unsure about doing anything, especially since Jaebeom was your best friend. You may have feelings for each other, but you have never acted on it.

"I don't hear any kissing!" Jackson yells from the other side of the door and you both roll your eyes. Jaebeom then starts to make his way closer to you, until he is right in front of you.

"Aren't you the least bit curious?" Jaebeom asks as he leans in, so close you can feel his breath fan your face.

"Jaebeom, are you sure about this?" You ask in return, hands rising from your sides to clutch his shirt.

"More than anything."

It was a lot easier to give in after you hear those three words escape from his lips. You bring him closer and connect your lips. Warmth fills the both of you at the contact, making you both want more. He moves to deepen the kiss and you let him. He moves towards your neck after a few minutes but Jackson interrupts as your time was up.
