the adrenaline sometimes makes him feel like his heart is going to explode, standing there with eyes wide just trying to let in every ounce of spotlight. it's hard to decipher whether his body wants to take off and run across the stage or just stay right where he is. the moment the music stops playing in his ear between sets, taehyung knew he had his break.

there were always moments of shows where he liked to talk to fans, to interact with the people that looked up to him. he didn't want to just show up and sing some words that they could have easily heard through a pair of headphones. he wanted to make it an experience for the both of them, himself and his fans that would have them remembering this night for a long time.

at this point taehyung took out his in-ear, wanting to hear his fans and even pause for a sip of water. they were maybe halfway through the night, the sun gone and liquor making an appearance in the crowd.

"how are we feeling tonight?" taehyung said into the mic, getting a loud cheer in response. his english was well, it had to be if he wanted to interact with international fans the way he wished to. "you guys have been amazing so far." it was met with another cheer, some cups raised and the rockstar just grinned.

"having a good time are we? got a couple beers down your throats, make tonight more fun." he grinned, seeing those faces in crowed do the same. taehyung spotted a couple, their small glasses standing out from the typical solo cups and beer bottles that most of others had in their hands. "what are those?" he pointed to them, seeing the realization on their faces as he man held up his glass. "yeah, what are those?"

only he knew who he was talking to, those around him couldn't pick out the face he was pointing to or staring at. not even jungkook, who stood on the side and peered out with woosung beside him. they came to watch for a second, it's not the same as staring at a monitor backstage. "oh, vodka!" taehyungs loud voice drew their attention back to the stage. "wow, straight?" he asked.

the man mouthed something, and taehyung just made a face at that answer. "no i meant straight vodka, not if you were straight." jungkook laughed at that, and so did most of everyone else in the crowd and stage listening to the playful banter that the rockstar had with these people in the seats.

that small break was nearly over, and the next set would behind in a few moments. taehyung could hear the countdown in one ear, knowing he'd have to wrap it up before beginning to sing. what stopped him was someone in the crowd, a younger person that seemed to be standing on the chair beside her mother. "do you have things in your ears? you're very small." taehyung asked the little girl, a sweet smile on his face as he spoke to her.

she couldn't have been more than seven years old, and the way she hid against her mother showed how shy she was. "i don't mean to embarrass you, are you having a good time?" taehyung waited for a nod and little grin from the girl. "good." he said. "now for this next song." he started to say.

as hard as it may be to see who the rockstar was talking to, that little girl seemed to stand out. she didn't fit in to the majority of fans hanging out, probably because the mother was single or couldn't find a babysitter for tonight. either way, jungkook felt himself swallowing hard, "i'm gonna get some more, uh batteries." he told woosung, "for the fans." he held up one of the small ones they gave the band members between breaks to cool down a bit before going back on.

they didn't actually need any, but jungkook still walked back to the dressing room and was met with a surprised face. "jungkook." onda said, tonight she was staying in here to fix up outfits for tomorrow's show.

"go cover for me." the head stylist said, not needing to explain further as she just nodded and left the room. jungkook decided to finish up what onda started on, setting up the stage outfits in order on the clothing rack for each member. he busied himself in the dressing room for the rest of the show, organizing and reorganizing things until he heard the doors open and the team to come back. "wow you were busy." hoseok said, seeing each rack separated by person and ordered based on what was worn in each song.

jungkook shrugged and checked his phone, he knew there were no notifications but it was just habit at this point. "yeah, how was it?" he asked, seeing how hoseok just grinned and started talking about the finishing set and the display of sparks that looked wicked every time.

he knew he'd hear about it again, taehyung always spent at least half an hour talking about the same thing after every show. it never got boring, but that was probably because of how passionate and excited he got over it. jungkook grabbed his phone and backpack, slinging it over his shoulder and heading for the doors. "i'll see you tomorrow." he told hoseok, who nodded and waved goodbye.

jungkook didn't make it far, no matter how quick he tried to walk with those long legs. taehyung happened to turn the corner of the corridor at that moment, his smile brightening just a tad at seeing the older. "kook!" that nickname making an appearance once again.

taehyung saw how he was in a hurry, backpack on and focused look in his dark eyes. "where are you going?" he asked.

"i'm heading back to the hotel." jungkook said, tightening his grip on the backpack strap and doing his best to avoid those brown eyes.

there it was. that small pout and drop in the boys shoulders. "but we were going to ride golf carts." he knew he sounded like a child, not getting what he wanted and being sad about it. taehyung can't lie though and say he wasn't looking forward to it. "not tonight tae." jungkook said, ruining that hope and making the younger frown some more.

jungkook only got a few more steps though, because there was that soft voice stealing his attention and making his chest tighten with this emotion he was still figuring out what to do with. "you don't have to go back alone." taehyung said, seeing the older glance over his shoulder, a look in his eyes that the boy couldn't figure out.

each time seemed to be better, no longer being turned away or hidden from. taehyung wanted more, he wanted the ravenette to trust him enough to not go running whenever came up, whatever that may be. this time he didn't, jungkook just stayed quiet, but he held his hand out like a silent invitation for taehyung to follow him — which he did.

taehyung grabbed his hand, ignoring the swirl in his stomach and holding on tight as jungkook started to hurry out of the backstage area, long legs bringing them both along.

it was silent the whole way back, only taehyung talked to call his driver and bring them back, and then him speaking again to the lady in the lobby who greeted them. jungkook was there, but he also didn't seem to be there. he sat in the car and fiddled with his phone, and taehyung pretended like he didn't know that he was staring at the voicemail app. now taehyung knew why the older always had his phone up to his ear, what he was listening to whenever he did that. he knew jungkook wanted to listen to it now, but he wasn't letting himself, not when he wasn't alone.

"are you okay jungkook?" taehyung finally asked once the hotel room door shut and they were alone in the olders room.

he still didn't speak, not as he tugged off his jacket and kicked off his boots. taehyung stayed by the door, not sure if he should move or not. jungkook must have noticed, because he looked over and rose an eyebrow. "you look so uncomfortable." he said.

"i don't know what to do." taehyung admitted. this was not his forte, he didn't comfort people and he didn't ask the right things at the right time. taehyung was really good at messing things up, and that's exactly what he didn't want to do here.

jungkook just chuckled and walked over to the small fridge in the corner of the small kitchen into. he took out a champagne bottle and then reached for one of the untouched glasses on the counter. "is that for you?" taehyung asked, walking over as the drink was being poured. alcohol made things easier.

jungkook however shook his head and set the bottle down, just to pick up the glass and hold it out to the other boy. "it's for you, to calm down." he said, "i don't know why you feel weird."

"you make me nervous." taehyung was quick to say, and he took the glass and sipped it quick. the ravenette chuckled again at his response and leaned his hip against the counter, "do i?" he asked. taehyung continued to sip and just settled with a simple nod.

"why do i make you nervous?" he asked, that accent coming through. jungkook reaches forward and loosely slipped his fingers through the belt loop on the rockstars pants, not tugging enough to make him move closer but enough to show he had a slight hold on him. taehyung looked down at the mans hand and narrowed his eye. "because you do shit like this." he set the empty glass down now and looked back up at the smirking ravenette.

"what about the shit we do." jungkook asked, emphasizing the fact that they do things together and taehyung knew exactly what he was referring to. he even tugged him closer now by the belt loop, until taehyung stumbled forward and had to put his hands on the mans chest to stop himself. "that shit i don't mind." taehyung said, not moving his hands off of jungkook or looking away from those eyes.

"good to know." jungkook whispered, just before closing that space again and kissing the rockstars mouth.

taehyungs arms went around his stylists neck, lips parting immediately to taste the mans tongue and savor it. they continued to kiss, mouths only parting for a moment to catch their breath before colliding again. jungkooks hands found the boys thighs, lifting him up so swiftly and setting him on the counter. the champagne glass got knocked over, but neither cared, not as jungkook abandoned his mouth just to kiss down taehyungs neck.

his hands didn't stop moving up and down the youngers thighs, feeling the flesh under his palms and gripping it until taehyung squirmed and little pants left his lips. "j-jungkook." he choked out, grabbing the sides of his face and bringing it back up to his so their mouths could meet again.

it's like that was enough, neither even pushed for more and just fell further in this moment as their lips moved together and tongues tasted the other. jungkook finally pulled away for more than just air, now leaning back to see the way taehyungs eyes stayed closer and his lips seemed more full than normal. he reached up to tuck some of that hair behind the boys ear, now see those eyelashes flutter open and his eyes met soft brown ones.

"we should head to bed." jungkook was still whispering, that sound sending goosebumps down the youngers arms.

taehyung didn't trust his voice, so he just nodded and played with the hair at the back of the ravenettes head. "you got a big day tomorrow." jungkook said, patting the boys thighs before lifting him off the counter.

he didn't want to go just yet, evident by the frown on his swollen lips. jungkook chuckled and leaned down to tilt his chin up, pecking them quick. "wake up early and we can get breakfast." jungkook suggested.

taehyung nodded, whispering a quiet goodbye before they walked to the door. he knew he should leave, but he still didn't want to. this was still work, he wasn't on vacation in a new country in a fancy hotel. taehyung was starting to forget that.

they said their goodnights and the hotel door separated them, taehyung having to walk down a few doors to get to his own room. all he could think about now was those pretty lips on his own, and how he wouldn't spend another mornings wishing more would have happened the night before.

also there will be some time skips essentially summed up in some chapters or else everything is just going to be the same, like rehearsals and shows and there's only so many ways i can change it up before it becomes too repetitive. it's a whole tour so i'll just "time skip" by moving on to a new city or when something will happen, if i skip any time then just assume the boys did their jobs and nothing extra happened between them.

okay thank you that's it !! i really hate authors notes because is disrupts the flow but i just wanted to explain that super quick ♡

song in this chapter: kiwi by harry styles ♡
