Jeongguk was standing in front of the mirror, tugging at his belt lightly to tighten it once more.

He looked up and down at his figure, the formal pants and shirt really enhancing the features he's most proud of -- his waist and butt.

He flinced when he suddenly saw Taehyung appear behind him, slinging his arms around Gguk's middrift and placing a peck to his rosy cheek.

"Are you nervous, baby?" Gguk watched his boyfriend in the mirror pouting adorably, freshly bright blue dyed hair hanging in his face and resting his chin on his shoulder while still clinging around his belly.

"Me? Shouldn't i ask you that, hyung?" He turned his head to face Taehyung only to be greeted with their lips connecting in a short kiss.

They were about to leave for Taehyung's comeback show which was gonna be his first comeback after a 6 month hiatus -- the first comeback after his outing.

The feedback had been mixed as it was expected. Some praised him for his brave action and also his words on supporting the love between any gender, others ran their mouths, called Taehyung and Jeongguk disgusting and that what they are feeling is wrong.

But they got through it. Always encouraging eachother and never keeping their hands to themselves, being more in love than ever. Nothing could split them apart.

"I'm not nervous." Taehyung slowly pulled away, a grin on his face. "I'm happy to see my fans again and also-" He placed another peck on Jeongguk's cute pouty lips. "offically show off my boyfriend to everyone."

Gguk felt butterflies bubble up in his stomach at Tae's flirtiness, which was one of his many loving actions he could never completely get used to.

"And i can't wait for our little after show party, so i can finally get to know your friends better." He cooed at Tae's cute words, to him there was nothing more adorable than his boyfriend wanting to get to know him even better than he already did.

They grabbed their jackets and exited their now shared apartment, sprinting to the driver as they were running slightly late, as seen by Jin already texting Tae about his whereabouts.

The drive wasn't too long in the first place but the driver rushed it purposefully as he was already informed of their tardiness.

Once arrived at the venue, Taehyung exited the car first, pulling up his face mask, Jeongguk quickly grabbing his hand, also going out and immediately being blinded by the flashes of cameras.

Taehyung left all of his unfazed as he kept walking, smiling and waving at the cameras once, still holding Jeongguk's hands and pulling him behind himself until they entered the venue.

Immediately having to split as Taehyung had to go to styling very quickly, Jeongguk was left sitting in the waiting room, eyes on the big screen infront of him waiting for the show to start.

After what seemed like eternity, Tae finally went on stage, fans cheering loudly, leaving Jeongguk so proud -- they all seemed so cutely excited, making him look back at his past self as well.

The show was starting off with the title track of Taehyung's new album 'I am who i am' called 'Myself', making Jeongguk just wait for that one line, that makes his heart do a flip.

'From the first time i saw you i knew i could be myself.'

It held so much meaning for him because he knew it was dedicated to him.

Tae was writing it while they were on the couch together, drinking tea with honey and watching old disney movies but Gguk cant really recall any of the movies running as Tae kept asking him to hear out the melody and read the lyrics.

The show went by in a blink of an eye for Jeongguk, just completely entranced in watching Taehyung diving in his passion, singing, dancing -- of course he also looked stunning with his blue hair and matching Gucci jacket.

After bidding a slightly sad goodbye to his fans, Gguk saw Taehyung getting off stage but not before grabbing some stuff of the floor, probably little fan presents they threw on the sides of the stage carefully, obviously not where Tae was standing to not hit him.

Jeongguk got up and went to the hallway, patiently waiting for his boyfriend to arrive so they could drive to their little celebration for Taehyung's comeback, only to see him come towards him a couple minutes later, big bags in his hands piled up with little stuffed bunnies, heart plushies and letters.

"Looks like they are happy to have you back." Jeongguk giggled -- purples are very cute after all, so excited to see their idol again.

"I guess they are but babe-" Taehyung handed the bags over to Gguk, leaving him utterly confused. "these are all for you."

Jeongguk's eyes widened in surprise, snatching the bags quickly, heart clenching at the cuteness and thoughtfulness of the presents, most having a little note attached to it saying 'for your boyfriend' or 'give this to Jeongguk'.

It's so heartwarming from him to see that they accepted and adore him, a tiny tear of happiness escaping his eye but getting wiped off by Tae's hand which was softly caressing his cheek.

"I'll definitely read all of the notes later." Jeongguk looked up from the bags in his hands, meeting Taehyung's caring eyes.

And that's what he did in the car on the way to the club already where their little get together for Taehyung's new album would be, reading all the cute messages Tae's fans left him, very fond of all of them and even occasionally reading out the best ones to Taehyung.

"Look, hyung! This one says, 'you encouraged me to come out to my best friend and now we are a couple. I'm very happy with her.' That's so cute." He read out the note excitedly, which was attached to a little pink bear holding a plush heart with a stitch saying 'tae ♡ gguk'.

"Wow i'm so happy for them!" Taehyung held onto Gguk's hand also reading the note.

A lot of the letters actually contained confessions like those, which only showed the importance of speaking out in favor of LGBTQ+ to them once more.

Soon after they arrived at the club which Tae's agency rented out for them and friends, seeing a red carpet layed out infront of the venue, multiple cameras already pointing towards it.

After a wave of flashing lights they made their way inside, the club already packed with invited employees of Tae's team and generally friends of him.

Jeongguk quickly spotted Jimin entering the venue, rushing to him and giving him a tight hug, also spotting Namjoon and Yoongi entering at the corner of his eye.

The whole issue with Namjoon still wasn't solved even after more than 6 months. They just couldn't really get together the past half year to talk about their problems, both too stubborn this time to approach the other again.

As for Yoongi and himself, they actually managed to finally leave the past behind completely and became better friends than they ever were in the first place, not feeling awkward around eachother anymore and now being able to laugh about their silly, childish behaviour around a simple drunken kiss.

"I missed my best friend!" He felt Jimin grip him tighter -- there sure was a lot of strength in his tiny body. "Now go and offically introduce me to your boyfriend." He wiggled his eyes brows, Gguk rolling his eyes while laughing, quickly pulling over Taehyung.

"Hyungie, this is Jimin, my best friend." Jeongguk watched Taehyung slightly nod his head and stretch out his hand.

"Nice to finally meet you. Ggukie did talk a lot about you." He saw Jimin look at Tae's stretched out hand in confusion, simply pulling at the hand to give him a hug as well.

"Why so formal? I'm happy to finally meet the boy that makes my best friend so happy!" Jimin hugged Taehyung like he was family already, Tae looking slightly taken off guard.

As the two were having a little conversation, Jeongguk looked around for Namjoon and Yoongi, waving the two over so they could meet Tae as well -- and maybe also to finally get Namjoon and Jimin to have a honest talk.

The two walked over also giving Jeongguk a soft hug, Gguk seeing Namjoon's slightly nervous expression after seeing Jimin.

"Tae! These are my friends, Namjoon and Yoongi." Gguk said, individually pointing at the two, also seeing Jimin tense slightly.

Just as Taehyung was about to introduce himself, Jeongguk got pulled away to the side, seeing Jimin looking at him worried.

"You invited him too?" He sighed, probably knowing Gguk's intention already.

"Yes, i did. First, he's one of my best friends and second, you guys gotta talk." He knew this was gonna be uncomfortable for the both of them, but it needed to be done or that weight was gonna last on their shoulders for forever. "You can do it, Chim. If you need me i'm not going too far away from this area, alright?"

Jimin sighed, head falling down. "Alright. I can do it." He gave him one last encouraging pat on the shoulder before slightly pushing him in Namjoon's direction who seemingly was done introducing himself to Taehyung.

Jimin and Namjoon both went off to a more quiet side of the club while Jeongguk and Taehyung decided to follow Yoongi to the bar, drinking a couple of shots with him before going over to a slightly more closed off area.

"Your friends are adorable like you, baby." Jeongguk felt Taehyung whisper against his ear sweetly, already feeling the alcohol hit him, making him a little intoxicated.

"They are." As he was about to connect his lips with Taehyung's , a seemingly already tipsy Jin pulled them apart.

"Aye Gguk, is that one of your friends?" Jin slightly slurred his words, obviously a lot more shots in than them, gripping with one hand on Gguk's shoulder with the other on Tae's, looking exactly in the direction Yoongi was standing. "He single?"

"That's Yoongi and yes i believe he is single." Jeongguk was utterly confused, looking around Jin and directly at Tae who seemed to feel the same.

"Nice, he's hot. I'm gonna hit that." And with that Jin walked off into the distance in Yoongi's direction, leaving Jeongguk visibly confused but somehow excited for Yoongi since he was lately complaining to him about 'not getting any good dick anymore'.

"I didn't even know Seokjin is into boys?" He heard Tae utter out, obviously shocked as well. "Anyways-" Tae gathered himself again, turning back to Jeongguk and placing a little innocent kiss on his cheek. "I'm so happy i met your friends, it feels like i get to know you better and better each day. But i do have one question, babe."

"Go ahead." He slung his arms around Taehyung's neck possessively, in the back of his head he wanted to show everyone that that was his boyfriend, not like they all already knew since ages now.

"Yoongi told me something about your guys' backstory and now i'm curious." Taehyung giggled adorably, alcohol showing a tiny bit, eyes glimmering slightly purple because of the lights in the area they were standing at.

"Oo yes, well at a party we somehow ended up kissing once and making out but now we can both laugh about it." Jeongguk giggled, not really seeing anything wrong behind this funny, old story between them but watched as Taehyung's eyes went darker and pupils dilated more.

"He made out with you before, huh baby?" Jeongguk felt Taehyung's hands wander to his waist giving a tight squeeze and he didn't know if it was the alcohol but somehow a tiny whimper forced itself out. "Did you like it? Was it better than me?" His hands wanding to Gguk's butt, just letting them rest there as a sign of possesiveness.

"I-it was fine b-but not b-better than you, hyung." Jeongguk didn't even know what was going on if he was being honest, didnt know why Taehyung was suddenly so -- jealous and possessive?

"Fine, huh? Hyung is gonna show you how much better he is." And with that he felt his boyfriend's hand squeezing at his butt, smashing his lips to his neck and immediately starting to suck a hickey.

"Hyung! N-not here." Jeongguk watched as everyone around them backed off slowly, not even that weirded out actually.

Without another word he got pulled to the nearest restroom, Tae locking the door behind them and going to attack Gguk's neck again, rubbing his knee against his hardening crotch.

"hyung-" Jeongguk whimpered from the sudden stimulation, more riled up than he usually was when they have sex, not knowing if it was because he was a little past the point of tipsy or because a jealous Taehyung was so hot.

Either way he knew his boyfriend would give him a hard time tonight.
