"Hey! Stop tickling me you a$$h0le!" Jungkook laughed out, squirming and trying to escape.

"Not until you apologise," Taehyung said, with a ridiculous smirk on his face, still tickling him.

"Fine! Fine! I'm sorry!" Jungkook finally surrendered, a giggling mess.

Taehyung finally let Jungkook go, still smirking like an idiot.

"Stop smirking dude you look like an alien." Jungkook accidentally blurted out.

"What did you say, Jeon Jungkook?" Taehyung asked, his voice as sweet as metal.

"Uh....I mean stop smirking you look like something out of this world!" Jungkook tried to save himself from being tickled out of his mind again.

"Well....makes sense." Taehyung let's him go, but only after giving him a warning glare.

Since Jungkook was the maknae of the famous k-pop group BTS, he always got the baby treatment. He was just 16 now, not even an adult yet.

Being an idol early, he never got a pure childhood. He understood big things from a small age.

That doesn't mean he was alone. He had his hyungs, who always had his back. He was really close to a member though.

Kim Taehyung. 2 years older than him. He has the brightest smile infront of everyone, but smiles always hide the pain and exhaustion.

No one knows that. He has mastered the art of smiling. Always hiding his true feelings behind a mask of happiness.

But who'll understand that he's not okay? He's never okay.

After the break, everyone starts practicing again. One tiny mistake, start all over again.

It always has to be flawless. Imperfectness doesn't exist in this world.

This was the 10th take. 5 minute breaks didn't make them less tired.

Finally, everyone got it right. They immediately flew off to their dorms. But Jungkook wasn't in the right mood.

He laughed a few minutes ago didn't mean he was good. Everyone laughs.

His head was aching hard. He wanted to close his eyes and pass out right there, but not in front of the cameras. Not in front of the millions of eyes watching.

JUNGKOOK'S POV

I walked into my room quietly, closing the door behind me. My neutral expression melted to a one of tiredness and pain.

I popped on my bed, burying my face into the pillow. It felt better than anything.

I immediately fell asleep. Not like I wasn't tired as fuck. I didn't even change out of my clothes.

But I woke up again when I felt a sharp pain in my head. I've been having head aches since the last concert, and I can't lie, they hurt like a bitch.

I groan quietly, cursing under my breath. I suddenly remember that Taehyung is sleeping next to me. I peek at him, sighing in relief when I see he's still sleeping.

I silently get out of bed, walking to the bathroom to splash water on my face. Didn't do anything. Just made it worse.

I felt like fainting when I felt an arm wrap around my waist.

"What are you doing up so late?" A deep, raspy voice asked. Taehyung woke up.

"I was just having a head ache again. Sorry for waking you up." I murmured softly. Not like I wanted to slap my head off.

"Headache again?" He asked again.

"Yeah... Don't worry. They come because I get tired alot." I say. Because of tiredness. Probably. I don't know myself.

"We should go see a doctor tomorrow." He declared suddenly, his tone leaving no place for argument.

I hesitate for a moment before muttering a quiet 'fine'. 

"You've already fainted three times back stage this week. I don't want you fainting more."

I indeed fainted three times this week. Maybe I'm pushing myself too hard? Or is it because of something else? I don't want it to be something else.

"Let's go to bed now." He murmured, pulling me along with him.

I  forgot about the headache for a moment, following him to the bed.

I climbed to my side, he climbed to his. I tried to sleep. I even tried. But no. Couldn't even shut an eye.

I accidentally sighed heavily, making Taehyung turn to me.

"Can't sleep?" He asked, his eyes dark with sleepiness. I slowly nodded.

"We're going to stop after sometime anyway. Try to bear it a little more."

"I can't. If it was bearable, I wouldn't be groaning and stuff right now." I finally admitted.

He stared at me for a moment before speaking, "Come here."

"Where?"

"Here." He opened his arms a little.

"..."

"..."

I slowly got into his embrace.

___

Morning came fast. I ended up sleeping in his arms.

I stirred a little, looking up at him. Dude's grip was tighter than an iron band.

He didn't wake up when I tried to wake him up, so I lightly pinched his cheek.

Atleast that worked.

Chapter 2 - SHOOTING

I flinched awake when he pinched my cheek. I blink up at him with sleepy eyes, confused on why he woke me up.

"Wake up. We have shooting at 10, remember?" He said, his voice husky as he woke up now.

"Can't we just skip shooting?" I murmur groggily, my eyes half-closed.

"I wish we could..."

"..."

"..."

"I'll sleep on the couch today." I said.

"Deal." He said.

We both got ready and prepared ourselves. Things are always scripted. Nothing is unscripted over here.

___

After fliming the video, all the members got back to their original personalities.

Namjoon and Jin started fussing over eachother as usual, Yoongi and Jimin acting like a couple married for 20 years, Hoseok spreading sunshine all over.

I went to the kitchen to get water while Jungkook went to the bathroom for painkillers.

Everything was going as usual. Nothing unusual happening.

I was peacefully drinking the water when I heard a loud crash, like something fell over.
