TAEHYUNG'S POV

"Taehyung! Wake up!"

I blinked my eyes several times before being able to see clearly.

"What happened?" I asked, rubbing the back of my head.

"You fainted and fell back on your chair." Jungkook said.

They explained how I was out for at least a minute. I stood up and apologized to the fans. I quickly made an excuse that I've been deprived of sleep since I was so excited about today.

The fans dismissed the incident and I returned to my seat.

"Oppa! Are you okay?" The same fan from before questioned.

I gave her a reassuring smile and nodded. "I'm fine. Thank you..." As I looked up at her, I gave her a flirtatious winked. "Hope."

Her eyes widened, as did her smile. "Taehyung oppa! You really do remember me!"

I laughed and signed her CD. At the bottom of the album I wrote a special message and asked her to read it.

"I'm glad that I met you." She read out loud.

She smiled brightly at me. The manager asked her to move along and I waved goodbye to her and greeted another fan.

Jungkook leaned towards me. "You remember her?" He whispered.

I shrugged. "A little. I remember having breakfast with her. She talked about how she survived cancer."

"I know. I was there."

I looked at him in surprise. "You were?"

He nodded. "We all were. You don't remember us?"

The image in my head was blurry. I just remember talking to that girl. Everything else was a fuzzy image.

"No..." I frowned. "Kookie, can I ask you something?"

"Anything."

"Do I have brain cancer?"

He looked at me in shock, but then relaxed into his seat. "We are in Hawaii because the doctor told you that you have brain cancer. After you lost your memory, we actually found out that it was a mistake. It wasn't you, but another person."

I sighed in relief. "Thank god."

He looked at me. "What happened when you blacked out?"

"I was surrounded by darkness and felt pain." I looked at him worried. "The doctor warned me that I could be hurt trying to remember the past. I'm scared to remember. What if something happens to me?"

I could see pain in Jungkook's eyes, but he forced a smile. "I'll protect you." He reassured.

Jungkook, why are you being so nice to me?

After 2 hours or so, the fan meet was finally over. The members performed War of Hormones and Boy in Luv. I sat with the fans and cheered for them. Jungkook made up for me since I didn't remember the words or the dance.

We returned to our rooms and Jungkook came back with me.

I plopped onto the bed and exhaled a deep breath of exhaustion.

"Today was tiring."

Jungkook laughed and stood over me. "You didn't even do anything! The members and I are the ones who performed while you sat on the side."

I sat up, glaring at him. "And? Just watching you guys exhausts me. How can you guys dance so... So... Amazingly? Like in sync and stuff."

He rolled his eyes. "Same old lazy Taehyung."

"Ya!" I yelled and grabbed him, pulling him into my arms. "I'm not lazy!"

We fell back onto my bed.

"Yes you are! Even breathing exhausts you." He teased.

I poked his stomach, causing him to laugh hysterically. Oh, someone's ticklish.

I poked it several times. "Breathing doesn't exhaust me! I'm just an alien and this earth isn't my homeland. That's why I'm always exhausted." I argued back.

"No! You're just lazy!" Jungkook managed to say between his laughs.

He rolled over me and tickled my neck.

"Ya!!!!" I yelled trying to resist. "How- hahaha- that's my tickle--hahahah-spot!" Now I was the one laughing hysterically.

"I know!" He yelled over me. "I'm getting revenge."

"How did you know I'm ticklish?!" I managed to say.

"I use to always tickle you! I know where all your tickle spots are.." He smirked at me and went under my arms. "Like HERE!"

I made a loud screeching sound. I felt vulnerable. I couldn't stop laughing and wiggling. "Yaaaaa!!!! Stooooppp!!!" I cried out while laughing.

I was choking on my saliva from laughing so hard. When he finally let me go, I panted and gasped for air.

I rolled over, glaring at him. He was smiling at the ceiling, trying to hold in his chuckle.

"You really are an evil maknae." I growled.

He faced towards me, smiling with his cute bunny-like teeth. Cute? What am I saying?

"You started it." He giggled.

Our faces were inches apart. I felt my face heat up as his eyes looked into mine. I quickly looked away, clearing my throat.

"Well, then I guess I should be the one to end it."

I pounced onto him, tickling his neck.

"Hyuuung!" He cried out. "Stop!"

"What's the magic words Kookie?" I teased over him.

"I give up.." He mumbled the words as he laughed his head off.

"What's that? I can't here you." I continued to tickle his neck with one hand and poke his stomach with the other.

"I GIVE UP! I GIVE UP!" He finally cried out.

I released him and collapsed beside him. He was gasping for air while whipping his tears from laughing so hard.

"I hate you." He mumbled.

I turned to him, smirking. "You don't mean that."

He looked at me sternly. "I mean it."

I frowned. "Why?"

He moved closer, slightly closing the distance between us. I tried to look away but he used his hand to force me too look at him.

"I hate you because I desperately want to believe my Taehyung is back."

"Jungko-"

"I hate you because I desperately want to kiss those plush lips of yours."

My eyes widened. I shifted my body to move away, but he grabbed onto my waist and pulled me against his body.

"I hate you because I desperately want to hold you against me and never let you go."

My heart was racing a thousand beats per second.

"But most of all... I hate that I love you."

We heard someone clear their throat and faced the person.

"Why do I always walk into awkward situations?" Jin questioned.

Jungkook released his grip on me and I immediately sat up. He sighed and sat up as well.

"Is there something you need hyung?" Jungkook questioned. He seemed frustrated that Jin walked in on us but I couldn't be anymore relieved.

"Tomorrow we have a break, since that's a Sunday. After that, we have a full week of concerts and fan meets." Jin hyung explained.

I sighed. "What am I going to do? I don't remember any of the songs or dances."

"I can help you." Jhope barged in.

"Hopie!" I smiled widely. Jungkook seemed to notice and looked down.

"Taehyung-ah! We can meet in the ballroom and I can't help reteach you everything." Jhope smiled.

"You really think you can learn everything tomorrow?" Jin asked.

"Why don't we get started now?" I questioned.

Jhope nodded and Jin gave the approval.

"Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to teach you your lyrics and your parts. I'm a rapper.. Not a singer." Hope hyung admitted.

"I can teach him." Jungkook volunteered.

"Sounds good to me." I smiled. Jungkook looked shocked that I accepted his offer.

I looked at him, putting my hand on his shoulder. "

"You better not ignore me this time Kookie. Or I'll tickle you." I warned.

He chuckled and smiled brightly at me. That smile just kills me.

Jhope and I walked down to the ballroom area. We asked our manager if he can practice in here for the concerts.

He gave the okay, just as long as we didn't bother the staff members while they clean up.

Jhope plugged his iPhone into a stereo and we began our dance lesson. I got the hang of it since it sounded familiar to me.

After learning most of the songs, he called in the members to practice all together. I felt great-full for the members because anytime I would forget or mess up, they would makeup for it and cover the mistakes.

When we finished practicing, I thanked them for their hardwork. Jungkook offered to take me out for lunch.

I hesitated but accepted it.

"Great. It's a date." He smiled.

"Date?"

He shook his head. "No- uh.. What I mean is- like a hangout. So we can get to know each other more. Or you can get to know me more. Not a d-date or anything, but like a hangout." He stuttered.

I shrugged at the idea. "Okay."

We walked back to our hotel room and cleaned ourselves up. We quickly got dressed and wore outfits that made it easier for us to blend into a crowd.

I wore a plain white shirt with black board shorts, a black Hurley hat, and sunglasses.

Jungkook wore a black shirt with blue board shorts and an Oakley hat with Oakley shades.

I closed the door behind me and walked into the hallway, my arm wrapped around Jungkook's shoulder.

"Do you know where we're going Kookie?" I questioned, pressing the elevator button down.

"No clue. But isn't that part of the adventure?"

I smirked at his comment. Before the elevator arrived, we heard someone call out to us.

I turned and saw Jimin. Great.

"Hey! Where are you guys headed?" He questioned.

"We're just go-"

"We're going on a date." I cut off, pulling Jungkook closer to me. "Aren't we Kookie?" I asked looking at his blushing face.

He nodded shyly. I grinned as I looked back up.

"Oh." Jimin looked blankly at us.

The elevator door opened and i dragged Jungkook inside.

"Well it was nice talking to you, but we're leaving now." I said while repeatedly pushed the elevator "close door" button.

Jimin smiled at us and waved goodbye. "Have fun you two love birds!" He called out.

I released Jungkook and stared ahead, internally smiling at my accomplishment.

He turned and looked at me confused. "Hyung. What did you tell Jimin?"

"We're going on a date. Isn't that right?" I asked casually.

He slapped my arm, causing me to jump in surprise.

"Ya! Why would you tell him that?" He scolded.

I looked at him shocked. "Why? You don't want to? We can go back."

"No!" He yelled then covered his mouth, afraid that he may have answered that question quicker than he meant to.

"Hyung. Why are you acting this way?"

I continued to look straight ahead, staring at my reflection in the elevator door. Actually, I'm sneakily looking at him in the door's reflection.

"I think I like you Jungkook." I confessed.

His eyes widened.

I chuckled, and grabbed his hand. He looked at our hands and then back at me.

The elevator door finally opened. Before stepping out, I winked at him.

"So stay by my side, got it?"
