Jeon Jungkook

"Faster Kook we only need about fifteen minutes to change and get back to the stage to record for our next performance..." Jimin hyung said while he was being dragged by the others in the chaotic back stage.

"I know hyung, I'm on it... Don't worry, I will catch up." I responded as I get my pace faster trying to catch up with everyone else. My real name is Jeon Jeong Guk.

But I am often called Jungkook as it is my stage name. I'm eighteen years old turning nineteen this September and a member of a three year old idol group.

"Aish..." I commented to myself as I try to catch up with the running hyungs but I got blocked by staffs going around. The backstage is really one of the busiest place during shows like this, staffs are everywhere.

I was happy when I was able to pass the chaotic part of the backstage and entered the hallway to the waiting rooms. I have to catch up with the others, I am not usually this slow but I was blocked.

I was glad to see the hyungs ahead as I was about to run to them when I saw my shoelace was untangled. I stopped for a while to fix it then get back again to catch up with the others.

I was about to turn to the alley when I saw a blonde girl who was struggling of bringing cans of soda drinks with her. By the looks of it, she was really having trouble on how to bring all those together considering her small figure.

'Jungkook, keep that in mind that you are awkward with girls. You can't stand them, so better ignore her and continue running to you hyungs.' I said to myself and was about to step ahead when I saw her dropped off some cans of drinks.

She tried to pick them up and ended up dropping some of it again. I can see how clumsy she was. 'Just go ahead Kook and don't mind her' I told myself as I tried to take another step forward when I heard the can hitting the floor again.

I closed my eyes before stepping back and going to her direction instead. 'I should have turned around... But why can't I turn around earlier?' I said as I helped her picked up the soda cans that she dropped.

I really can't handle things with girls but there were a lot of rumors going around about me and a lot of girls any where gaining my scale name international playboy which I don't know where it came from.

Just like how people ship me with my friend Eunha and Yuju in Gfriend, or my family friend Tzuyu who is in Twice or IU sunbaenim whom I just idolize too much to the point that fans think that I like her and a lot more.

I picked up the last soda can before handing it to her and assisting her so that she will be able to carry them all confortably. It's not my nature but I think she must be needing a hand at this time and no one was around except for me.

"Thank you very much sunbae for helping me... I don't know what to do if not for you helping me in this deserted hallway." she said as I just nodded my head before leaving because I don't know what to say as I am shy.

I immediately run to our waiting room where the others were already waiting while retouching their make ups. Some of them had already changed into the new wardrobe that we need to wear.

"Yah Jungkookie, there you are! I thought you got lost on the way..." V hyung said as he saw me entering the room. V hyung is the member whom I am closest too, since our age gap is not that big and we are the youngest members.

Our stylist immediately handed me a new set of clothes as I quickly changed into them in a changing booth set up inside the waiting room. I already get looks of our stylist that I have to change immediately.

"Got stuck at the chaotic backstage hyung. Got blocked by a lot of staffs on the way." I said as I was changing my clothes to the new set of clothes that our stylist gave me. I did it quickly since we are running out of time already.

I went out of the changing booth as soon as I was done changing my pants without even bothering in putting the clothes on since I was still sweating a lot.

"Quickly get his make up done please, any moment from now we will be called in stage again." Rm hyung said as the make up artist quickly gather around me.

Some were drying all my sweats and the others were retouching my make up real quick. I closed my eyes as I rested for a while, it was tiring in running around all the way to the waiting room.

"Is everyone ready?" our manager asked as I opened my eyes and saw him standing in the doorway. "Almost..." Jin hyung responded as our manager went inside the waiting room.

"Prepare and get everything ready as you are invited to the green room for an interview... You will be needed there in ten." manager said as everyone nodded their heads just right after the staffs gad finished my makeup and I quickly put into my clothes.

"It's the third time that we are invited to the green room... Who do you think will be with us today? You know that it is always the candidates for number one weekly spot right..." Jhope hyung said as he joined the others who were done while I was still fixing my hair at bit.

"Probably Kook friend's group, Twice? As far as I remember their recent comeback is really a lit." Suga hyung commented as I looked at his direction. "You mean Tzuyu's group, Twice?" I asked as he nodded his head.

"Are you really sure that you guys are not in a relationship? Because you two seemed to be so close... She's been around with you since debut period." Rm hyung commented as I quickly shake my head no.

"We're just best friends, probably like a brother and sister. Our parents are somehow acquaintances that's why we know each other for a long time." I answered as the hyungs just laugh at my response.

"If you say so maknae... We won't say any words again..." Jimin hyung teased as I sit beside him afterwards. "Does anyone else knew your close relationship aside from some of our staffs?
.
.
I mean she did really treat you like an older brother and you treat her as a younger sibling. You are two are really close like siblings..." V hyung said as I just shake my head no to answer his question.

"No they don't... Well aside from our manager and Bamg Pdnim with JYP Pdnim and Twice's manager, no one else knew... Even the staffs of we are siblings happy together didn't know that it was the infamous Jeon Jungkook whom they were talking with as her older brother.
.
.
Good thing I had Rm hyung to translate words to english when I talked with them." I explained while remembering when she was invited to appear with a sibling in a show named we are siblings.

She asked me if I could pretend to be her brother and turned down the offer. She doesn't want anyone finding out that her family background that's why I had to pretend to be her brother and turned down the offer for the reason he doesn't want to outshine her.

Because if I were to attend that show with her I will really outshine her. I mean our group already started to earn recognition since and appearing there as Jungkook of BTS and Twice Tzuyu's brother will create commotion.

Tzuyu is the only girl whom I can be myself. We have known each other since we were kids sinceour families know each other. She has been facinated by idols when we were young whenever thay visit Korea so she enrolled on a dance class in Taiwan.

After being scouted by JYP, she moved to Korea under the promise that I have to look after her since I am from the place and besides Big Hit was a bit dependent to JYP that time because of our boy band 2am.

Since then, I would often look after her... Teach her our language even if it was difficult in our parts. Our parents liked the idea of us being close to each other and thought that we might even end up with each other resulting for an unexpected decision.

Our parents had arranged us to be wed off when she is eighteen but we both opposed the idea as siblings don't marry each other. Nonetheless, they are still business partners so we don't have any problems with it.

Both sides still benefits as long as we treat each other as siblings. They never questioned both our decisions and supported us instead, since they can do anything about it. Her mom intrusted her with me when she started training in Korea.

Since then Tzuyu had already spend time with me and my group often and she is already acquainted with them. But being shy in nature, she never did approached anyone of them aside from me. My group knows our close relationship and often tease me with it.

"Guys let's go to the green room, the staffs are waiting... You should be starting any minute from now." our manager said as we all get up and followed him to the green room he is talking about.
