The morning of the first performance, Jimin was feeling well enough to practice for a few hours beforehand. He met his members in the lobby, early in the morning, before they traveled to the large stadium.
"Woah, it's so big!" Hoseok looked out of the van's window as they drove through the back side of the stadium, to avoid being seen by the fans already gathering early. "Yeah, it is...wow." Jin smiled as he too looked outside. Jimin rested his head on Yoongi's shoulder, and to his surprise, Yoongi tilted his head so his was on top of his. He couldn't help but smile, he was still getting used to Yoongi responding to affection, now that his depression was getting better- even a little progress is still progress.
"Alright, we're going to start off with microphone checks first." Their manager announced as they started to get out of the black van. The large stadium was empty but about one hundred staff in all black wandering around, doing whatever it is they were doing.
Lights were moving around and there were cords along the floors, empty seats and fences weren't set up quite yet along the bottom of stage. They had six hours before the main gate was supposed to open.
As they approached the stage, Jungkook nearly slipped and he grabbed frantically on to Taehyung. "Sorry, we just greased it, be careful." One of the staff told them, then continued on rushing back stage. Jungkook giggled and they continued walking with caution.
Two hours later, they were through sound check and were going through the songs. Jimin was hit with nausea and was sitting back stage with his manager.
"Jimin-ah, I think you've done too much. You've been resting for a while-" "I'll be fine, I just need to sit for a bit." Jimin thanked a staff for handing him a bottle of water, and he started drinking. "Okay..." Bang-PD nodded, looking around. Jimin took deep breaths, his stomach cramping as his leg started to bounce.
Minutes before the show, with everyone dressed in shiney diamond jackets and tight denim jeans, Bang-PD pulled Jimin aside carefully.
"If at any point during the show you need a break, just let us know through your earpiece, okay?" He told him, placing his hand on his shoulder. Jimin nodded his head. "I will." He smiled at him, as the other members walked out on to the stage. Bang-PD patted his shoulder and Jimin followed them.
While they were performing, Jimin slipped on the wet stage and Jin was quick to help him back up since he was dancing next to him. Since then, even ARMY had noticed how Jimin was slower in choreography and wasn't in exact sync with his members.
Between songs while the members were getting drinks of water and interacting with their fans, Jimin crouched down near the eastern side of the stage and hid his face in his hands, crying a little because of how nauseous he felt.
"Jimin, are you okay?" Namjoon asked through their earpiece, so only the members could hear. Out of instinct, Jungkook turned and saw his state. Jimin moved his hand-held microphone away from his face, so it was next to his knees.
"Mhm," Jimin took a deep breath, hardly able to even hear himself think with the fans screaming at him in the front row, from him being so close to them. "I just need a minute, stomach hurts." He added on, feeling a tear leaving his eye. He put his head down so no one would be able to see him crying, and he moved his hands to his stomach but it didn't seem abnormal.
He felt someone hold his shoulder, and he perked up, covering his mouth because he realized tears were streaming down his face, but he couldn't turn around to see who it was. They awkwardly bent down behind him and buried their face into his neck.
Jimin gasped as they kissed his neck, and moved to his ear. His mind blanked, and he realized it was Jungkook who was behind him, when he took his earlobe between his teeth gently and tugged a little. Jimin shivered, still crying, but he heard Jungkook giggle shyly before he gave another kiss to his neck while his free hand moved to his back, so the fans couldn't see it. He drew on his back: I Love You.
Jungkook left, after winking to the crowd and shifting the attention for the moment. Through Jimin's earpiece, he heard his manager's voice.
"Jimin-ah, come back stage for a moment, would you? I don't want you pushing yourself." He requested. Jimin wiped his tears and gave a smile to his fans, his stomach pain now missing, suddenly. "I'm fine, manager-nim." Jimin ignored it, and drank some more of his water before returning to his members.
"You sure you're fine?" Hoseok asked him under his breath. Jimin pulled Hoseok's microphone away, and glanced down before smirking. 'I'm fine because I'm horny now,' He mouthed to him, before rushing off. Hoseok smirked too, but everyone else was a little confused, and army wasn't close enough to see.
Jimin saw Jungkook looking at him, and he groaned internally. 'Why did you do this to me...' He whined in his head.
The rest of the concert was easy, Jimin didn't have any more problems and no others arrived. After the concert, the members were quick to be escorted safely back to their hotel, and Jimin realized their fans hadn't missed the intimate moment between Jungkook and him, earlier. Of course, now dating rumors had started, and he couldn't help but show Namjoon.
"Hyung, look, they've found out already." He giggled, showing Namjoon a tweet of an army freaking out over Jungkook kissing Jimin's neck. Namjoon laughed. "You know they see everything. Congrats on your first dating rumor-" "Jimin's in a dating rumor?!" Jin and Hoseok interrupted the conversation, turning around in the van quickly. "With who?" Taehyung asked, out of surprise. Jimin giggled and hid his phone.
"Jungkookie."
The maknae turned his head towards Jimin, utter exhaustion in his eyes but he was still curious on what was being said about him. There was even a slight pout on his lips. "That's a little ironic that your first dating rumor with the public, is your actual boyfriend." Jin chuckled, leaning over on to Hoseok, who gave a kiss to his forehead. "Yeah, it is. I have an urge to reply and confirm it." Jimin giggled and got his phone back out. "No, let's not." Namjoon turned his phone screen down, so he couldn't see. "I know, it's just an impulsive thought~"
The rest of the ride was quiet, as everyone was tired and wanting nothing more than to sleep. Jimin slept with Namjoon and Jin, and Jungkook snuck in to Taehyung's room to sleep with him. Yoongi and Hoseok slept together for a few hours, before they joined Taehyung and Jungkook in their room in the middle of the night.
