"Yah...wake up you two."
Jungkook opened his eyes, he was groggy and ached, he looked up at the person who roused him, and gasped. He jumped up, immediately regretting it as a wave of nausea overcame him, he grabbed on to the persons arms and pulled him into a bone crushing hug.
"Yah...what's going on?" The other person gasped, shocked.
"How...you're alive?"
Jin looked at the youngest member of his band confused....alive? Of course he was alive, what was Jungkook saying.
"Yah...are you on something?" Jin pushed him back, and studied him curiously.
Jungkook tried to hug him again, but Jin held him back, shaking his head.
"Wake your boyfriend up and let's go, the show's about to start." He said, backing away from Jungkook, looking at him strangely. He left.
It was Jungkook's turn to look at him confused...boyfriend? Show? He turned around and gasped, there in the flesh was a sleeping Taehyung, lying flat out on the sofa he just left. Jungkook just stared at him, what had happened? Last thing he remembered was that dream and seeing Tae' materialise in front of him, he took his hand then everything went dark, and he woke up here, now.
He dropped down on the sofa and just stared at him, he was in front of him, but was he an illusion, was Jin an illusion? Was he dreaming?
He reached out his hand and placed it over Tae's heart, gasping he shot his hand back, he had felt it...a heartbeat...Tae' was alive again, in front of him.
Tae' began to wake, and he opened his eyes, as soon as he saw Jungkook staring at him, he shot up, a wave of dizziness hitting him, but he disregarded it as his Kookie looked shocked. He grabbed his hands.
"What's wrong babe? Why do you look so shocked?"
"You...you're here."
Tae looked at him, his head tilted, Jungkook was scaring him. His head hurt but he wasn't sure why, he hadn't fallen asleep with a headache...had he?
"Of course I'm here...where else would I be?"
"But...I don't understand, don't you remember?"
"Remember what?"
"Being in my dream, then...your hand...I...we..." Jungkook was too shocked to speak.
Tae' placed a hand on Jungkook's forehead and felt for fever. He didn't miss the fact that Jungkook physically jumped when he did so, he was confused, he hadn't jumped when he touched him before. He was worried.
"Babe, you're scaring me, what's wrong? Are you sick?"
"You don't remember?"
"What? What don't I remember?"
"It worked..." Jungkook gave a small laugh.
He grabbed Tae's face and kissed him deeply, Tae sat there shocked at the sudden contact, but soon melted into the kiss.
"What has gotten into you?" Tae' asked when they broke apart.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you. I don't understand how I remember everything but you don't." Jungkook said more to himself than to Tae'
"Yah...what are you two doing, kiss later, perform now." Jin's voice ranted from the door.
Jungkook looked at him and smiled, he really had gone back in time, he had his husband back...although at this stage in their life they weren't married yet, but he was happier than he had ever been. Jungkook looked over at a calendar hanging on the wall, 2019, he gasped inwardly he had gone back 40 years, to when BTS were at the top of their game. It was the year before the drug had been invented, Jungkook smiled and formed a plan, as soon as it was released they both would take it, even though he hadn't developed it, he would still protect himself and his man.
He grabbed Tae's hand and helped him stand, then they followed Jin to the stage to perform. Throughout the performance Jungkook couldn't stop smiling, he had missed every aspect of performing with his band mates, and he never dreamed he would get to do it again.
After the show the boys were resting in their assigned room behind the stage. They were all out of breath but happy. Jungkook looked over at the three men he had really missed, while he cuddled up to Tae'. He was so happy right now. He thought back on all the clues he had been given when sat on his veranda, sighing he wished he had picked up on them sooner, then he could have saved himself the heartache he had gone through.
Namjoon was joking around with Jin and Jungkook smiled, if only they knew how their life would end up, married and happy with kids of their own, just like him and Tae' He watched as Joonie practised his rapping, and he disguised his voice with his hand, up to his mouth. Jungkook sat up, he recognised that sound...Namjoon looked at him as he stared.
"Star man?"
"What?"
"It was you..."
Tae' looked at him, concerned an 'oh no, he's being weird again' look on his face.
Jungkook looked around at the six guys staring at him. How would he explain it? He grinned, laughed and shook his head.
"It's nothing, just a weird dream I had."
He couldn't tell them, especially Tae' they would think he had gone nuts. The guys watched him, shook their heads then went back to what they were doing. Tae stood and grabbed his hand, saying 'come on' with his eyes, Jungkook stood and followed him to wolf whistles from the others. He looked back and grinned at them as He left the room with Tae.
Tae pulled him along and Jungkook allowed him too, he had missed being this close with his man. He pulled him into an empty room and there he let go of him. He turned to face him and took hold of his shoulders, then looked into his eyes...and Jungkook thought...his soul.
"What is going on with you? You're really worrying me today?"
This was not what Jungkook had expected. What should he say, he looked into the eyes he had missed for a year.
"I'm fine babe...I...um...think I'm just a little tired, and I've been having strange dreams...ha"
Tae continued to look into his soul, Jungkook got lost in his eyes.
"Are you sure that's all it is?"
"Positive. Don't worry about me."
"That's not going to happen and you know it." Tae' pulled him into his body and held him tight, Jungkook soaked up his musky scent."
"I love you Tae', so much"
Tae pushed him back and looked into his eyes again, they were full of concern.
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yes, I'm fine as long as I'm with you." Jungkook said leaning forward and kissing him deeply on the lips, his heart bursting with supressed longing.
Half an hour later, the boys emerged from the room, both flustered and smiling widely, they returned to their band mates who were waiting for their managers to give them the go ahead to leave the stadium where they had performed. They took a seat on the empty sofa, their hands intertwined.
Jin looked at them, he smiled, he knew exactly what they had been up too, he looked over at Namjoon who was staring at him, but looked away when he looked. Would he ever have what Taekook had with the person he loved?
