BTS Velvet Oneshots

Candy (Jungri) *republished*

Before I start with the story..

This was my first BangtanVelvet oneshot, i did it probably...... two years ago around Yerim's birthday. I unpublished because of some reasons I'm gonna tell you at the end. Please enjoy. I didn't change one word, only the left-right justify for the text.

"Hey, Yerim!"

Jungkook's eyes widen in realization that his voice is louder than intended. The called one coldly glares to him and walks by without second glance.

Stupid, my voice might be recorded, he thinks. He continues walking behind the couch to watch BTS' performance on screen. They are recording their reaction video. Secretly he sighs. When will she stop ignoring me? He shakes his head, trying to focus on the monitor.

Meanwhile 10 metres away from where Jungkook stands,

"Yem, that was rude. He's our sunbae. At least smile, will you?" Seulgi nags the maknae.

"I bowed to Bangtan, unnie. Is that not enough?"

"He specifically called your name. Why were you ignoring him?"

"Because he's stupid. If his fans heard that, they would soon attack me saying I was the one who seduced him. Unnie, you experienced this when your dating scandal with Jimin oppa rose. You know how bad that feels." Yeri walks faster, almost running to Irene.

Seulgi falls into silence. She glances back to BTS, only to see a smiling Jimin and a sad Jungkook.

Jungkook has been sulky all day. It's his birthday. Everyone wishes him a happy birthday, except the one he expects the most.

Kim Yerim.

He called her on her birthday, but rejected. The message he sent, was left on read. How did he get her number? It was long time ago, in ICC/INU era, when Yeri just debuted. They met backstage, and Jungkook asked her to lend her phone because his phone was dead and he needed to make an urgent call. Actually, he was just calling Jimin, telling him that he was going to go outside for awhile. He came back giggling knowing that he successfully got his crush's number.

But now she ignores him. And that frustrates him.

"Did I ever say something offensive about Red Velvet, hyung?"

"No, Jungkook, I don't think you ever did that."

"Then why does Yeri hate me that much?"

He's on Namjoon's bed, staring at the ceiling, hugging his pillow, almost crying.

"Who says she hates you?"

"She literally dodged me in Music Bank Singapore. I didn't even get to say hi. She has my number but she doesn't call or text me today. Hyung, she ignores me. When a woman ignores a man, she doesn't like him, she doesn't care about him, she most probably hates him."

Namjoon sighs. "Kook, we're idols, we're surrounded by fans. A tiny part of those fans are immature. They verbally harrass female idols who get close with us. Yeri-ssi might get scared of those fans, because look, she's close with many male idols. She likes our songs. She might want to be friends with us, but those dating rumors.." he fakes cough and slightly whispers the next word, "..Jungri. She needs to be cautious. Well, you, young man, if you are really interested and want to know her more, I suggest you to never stop trying, caring, and having hopes."

Now it's Jungkook who sighs. "I'm not only interested." He smiles. In his mind, her smiling face appears. "I think I'm in love and I want to protect her with all I have."
