As discussed, the seven boys came together at the Kim household, Seokjin's suite to be exact, the following day to work on their last two group songs. They sat in the oldest Kim's livingroom, food still infront of them. But the impatient people they are, they couldn't wait and started right away.

"We need the first song to be really powerful." Jimin began, the others agreeing instantly.

"Good, does maybe anyone have an idea what the the track should basically convey?" Hoseok asked, eyes lingering on Namjoon and Yoongi.

But much to his dismay, they shook their heads and he sighed. Thinking of a song's message was the hardest thing. Up until now, Jungkook hadn't really participated in coming up with the lyrics for the past two songs, the names were »ON« and »Blood Sweat & Tears« by the way.

They wanted to show the audience that they had it in them, so a powerful song at the very beginning sounded perfect to them. The younger pondered about it quickly and it didn't take him long until an idea popped into his head.

"How about loving oneself?" he threw out and the others turned around, looking at him in surprise.

"I mean, I get tons of messages every day of people telling me that they don't get treated right, they get bullied, etc. So maybe we should write a song about that to tell those people to stop caring about what others say. That no one can't stop them from loving themself."

Silence entered the room as everyone gaped at their youngest. Jungkook looked around unsurely and gulped, gaze dropping soon after.

"That's... that's brilliant!!" Namjoon grinned brightly, showing his dimples.

Immediately, a wave of energy spread through them and they worked and worked, brains not stopping thinking for a second. That went on until 3am as they finally finished the lyrics for their brand new song called »Idol«.

They went straight to bed afterwards and even though everyone could've had their own bed, they insisted on sleeping on mattresses in the grand livingroom like they did at Yoongi's despite the maid's and butler's suggestions.

The big clock on the wall showed Taehyung that it was 4:18am already. The blonde wondered if he had sleep problems but as far as he can remember he had this since he was a child. Thank god actually, or else his condition would've been a lot worse as he once stayed up for four days.

Sighing quietly, he tossed and turned for about 10 minutes more until he gave up to try to fall sleep. Taehyung just couldn't when there was a lot on his mind. No matter how hard he tried, his thoughts always wandered back to Jungkook and his utterly confusing behaviour.

He's mostly cold and mean whenever they talk and if not, he was always just straight forward ignoring Taehyung. The blonde huffed, wanting to know what he had done to deserve this kind of treatment. Sure, he rejected him but he apologised to and the other even forgave him after they—

Taehyung frowned. The only time Jungkook was complying and quiet was when they made out. Suddenly a thought crossed his mind. It was basically the same situation before the confession, just vice versa. Maybe the younger only got carried away during their makeout sessions, just like him.

Or perhaps Jungkook pitied him because he was so desperate, hell he even had a raging boner after the younger left. But, Taehyung thought and rolled over to look at the sleeping Jungkook, he was also hard so I guess he enjoyed it? Or.. maybe the younger was planning something that was entirely different? Like making Taehyung fall for him, get him to confess his feelings and reject him?

The blonde swallowed thickly and his heart stinged because of the thought but Taehyung found himself believing in that option. Every sign Jungkook gave off showed that he already moved on and was just messing with him. But the same time he couldn't picture the bunny-like boy to try to hurt someone like this. Even though he had deserved it.

A rustle brought him back to reality and he found Jungkook staring at him blankly. Taehyung jolted in shock, then looking around if anyone else was awake.

"Why are you awake?" Taehyung then whisper-yelled.

"Sorry that I couldn't sleep when someone was constantly moving and sighing for almost 2 hours." the younger spat back quietly.

"Y-you couldn't sleep because of me?"

"No, Jimin-hyung kicks my back all the time. Of course it's you." Jungkook scoffed.

"S-sorry... I'll stop." Taehyung whispered, wanting to turn around but an arm on his biceps brought him back.

"Got any problems with falling asleep?" Jungkook questioned silently, propping himself onto his elbows to move the slightest bit closer.

"N-no, uh— I mean y-yeah?"

"What's your exact problem?" he pressed further.

"I... I just won't get tired, my thoughts distract me." Taehyung confessed, confused why he was even telling Jungkook this.

"Alright I can help." the other replied nonchalantly and the next thing the blonde witnessed was how Jungkook pinned him down to connect their lips.
