I am very disappointed to discover that my 69th story part is just an author's note.

Jungkook tics in his sleep.
It had never happened before, but of course Jungkook was unaware of it happening anyway so he never brought it up. Seokjin had carried on cuddling him that day and watched him slowly fall asleep due to the exhaustion. Yes, it was the middle of the day, but the America tour started tomorrow, so he had time. Plus, his body was so achy that he needed the rest.
Seokjin didn't fall asleep with him, rather just sat beside him on his phone, looking over occasionally. Then the first tic happened. Jungkook's head jerked right, but because he was laying on his side, his head just went further into the pillows. This was accompanied by a small, muffled ah! sound. Seokjin jumped a little, but then realised it was a tic. He whispered, thinking Jungkook was awake,
"Kookie? Are you okay?" When there was no reply, he looked over and saw Jungkook's relaxed expression, the maknae's eyes still shut.He was still asleep. Seokjin smiled to himself, heart fluttering with how cute he was. There was something so endearing about him doing it in his sleep, the way he couldn't control it and made the already cute noises into the pillow, hand coming up to beside his head and patting the pillow softly a few times. Seokjin tried not to film the boy because that would have been cruel, but he thought to himself, at least it's in a good way. He knows some people who would criticise the hell out of someone with tourettes, constantly harassing them and asking him to stop because it's 'annoying'.
How can someone be annoyed at something so cute?

The concert day was hectic. They woke up at 7am and had 10 minutes to get dressed and get out of the hotel. They were sharing rooms this time around since it was summertime and the hotels were all quite full. Namjoon had his own room, naturally, since he could handle things on his own, being fluent in English. The 95s were together, Hoseok and Jin, and Yoongi was with Jungkook.
"Jungkook get up! We're leaving in ten!" Yoongi said urgently to him, shaking the maknae. Jungkook stirred quickly, eyes still closed as he sat up, rubbing at his eyes frantically. He got out of his bed, not bothering to make it as they will be staying there for two more days. Changing into jeans and a hoodie, he worried absent-mindedly about if he would tic at the concert, as he had been doing it more frequently since the attack he had yesterday. Just having it on his mind caused him to make a squeaky ee! sound and drop the shirt he was holding to clap.
Yoongi said in a fond manner,
"Never heard that one before Kookie." And Jungkook laughed awkwardly,
"I'm kinda worried about that, hyung. I keep develop- tck! -developing new ones. I think it's normal though?" Yoongi frowned and hummed in agreement. It was silent whilst they took turns in the bathroom, besides Jungkook's tics obviously. He kept thinking about the concert. Since his tics were getting more frequent and varied, he worried that he might not be able to hold them back during his speech tonight. Before he had held them all in with great effort, and then once backstage he had fulfilled the urges so quickly and close together that it looked like he had experienced a mini tic attack.Yoongi and Jungkook left the hotel room with 2 minutes to spare, both carrying a duffel bag full of essentials for the concert. They met the others who were waiting for the elevator. The seven of them entered together, and Jimin pressed the button. It was silent as the doors closed and the elevator started to go down. Jungkook felt another spontaneous urge, and to his surprise he knocked on the wall and his head jerked,
"excuse me- hoo!"Jimin turned around, asking curiously,
"Is that one new? You have a lot of new ones, Kookie, should we be worried?" Jungkook shook his head,
"I think- ah! -it's normal to develop new ones. It might be because I was put on medication so quickly as a kid, so I didn't know about a lot of- excuse me-" his hand reached out and knocked on Jimin's shoulder. Jimin was a little shocked at first but started giggling when he saw how quickly Jungkook retracted his hand, stumbling over an apology. He embraced Jungkook, muttering into the younger's chest,
"No no, it's okay! There's no need to apologise."
