Still on you

OMIT

OMIT

Yoongi drop his things as he enters in the Genius Lab. He throws his bag to the nearest couch not actually noticing the younger one waiting for him biting his lower lip to the point it hurts.

He just went to his swivel chair mumbling something that Jungkook can't comprehend but he can decipher those consecutive curses pertaining to someone which is very familiar. Suddenly he throws his ball cap that made Jungkook squeak inside as it landed to his precious babies MIDI Keyboards.

"f**k, Kim Namjoon."

Jungkook sealed his lips tightly not making other noise. It's clear as sky that his Hyung is not in the mood and probably his problem won't help him calm either so he just sneakily went to the door for a secret escape when...

"Stay."

Okay. So his hyung already knows his presence. He just doesn’t know if Yoongi knew he's there from the beginning or he just notice him right afterwards. Probably because of his heavy breathing or what?

"Just give me a second or a minute f*****g Kim Namjoon and his f*****g principle made me nuts all day. I am so f*****g tired, shit."

So he complies. There's no one he can talk on his problem other than his Yoongi hyung. Sure, Hoseok might as well listen but he wants to hear a direct to the point decision. His Hoseok hyung is kinda... Soft? He mean-- a man with a great gratitude. Doesn't want to hurt anyone and by that he tends to sugar-coat his words.

That still hurts but in a creative way.

Unlike Yoongi. He's so direct. Direct to the point that he'll suggest You should die instead of soothing words to ease your anxiety. But sure, okay. Probably Jungkook might not want to hear that vulgar advice but he just want a honest advice on this real f*****g life situation.

And he knows only his Yoongi hyung can help him.

"Okay, what's up, kid?" Finally Yoongi muttered and he swing his chair to look at the direction of the younger.

"Uhh.."

What happened? Did Jeon Jungkook swallowed his tongue?

He should talk. That’s what he went here for. But what happened? He can’t even construct a proper sentence on his mind.

"Jungkook-ah.” Yoongi call his attention because he just stare him blankly. “I had this three hours meeting with the high official of BIGHIT with Namjoon and my head is on the way to c***k like s**t cause they are keep pressing me with all th--"

"I'm planning to resign, hyung." Yoongi breath hitch at the sudden words of Jungkook.

"You... What?" Jungkook nibble his lower lips. Fiddling the end of his sweatshirt and staring at the wooden style tile of Genius Lab. If there's one thing Jungkook was most afraid of that was that tone of his Yoongi hyung.

He just heard it one time. When Yoongi and Hoseok fought, and the reason why is Hoseok almost left their Music Company—Bighit. And it was a mess. He doesn't want to remember that thing-- yet he's here. Infront of Yoongi and with that tone. And right now his Yoongi hyung is using that to him.

"Jungkook-- i am asking you. What did you say?" But to his surprise when he looked up to check Yoongi's reaction-- it was a worried one. There is no fear nor madness and most likely it’s a worrying one.

"I'm-- I'm--"

"Stop stuttering!" Yoongi exclaimed and he bit his lower lips again. Yoongi is a calm man. Never raised his voice even when laughing but when the moment he raised his voice that's it. That's it. You don’t want Yoongi hyung to snap.

But he doesn't know how to explain. Because even himself, he doesn't want to believe it's happening. Yesterday they just celebrating a post-birthday of Yoongi maybe planning what should be the theme of TXT's next comeback and now he's here, telling Yoongi he's going to resign.

Being a music producer is no joke. It's unavoidable to have the rhythm blocks-- almost equivalent to author's block. But Jungkook is very much happy on this job. He loves this job and for sure his Hyungs saw that especially Yoongi. He's almost one of the big influencer on Jungkook's life after Namjoon.

"I-- I--- I just don't know how to explain, hyung." His voice almost became a whisper. He doesn't want to do this but he should. Eyes still fixed on the wooden floor tiles that shine as the light reflects.

"Then how are you going to explain it to the higher ups? Especially Bang PD-nim? He's the one who scouted you Jungkook. How are you going to explain that? Are you going to stutter infront of them like a pathetic 9 year old kid?"

Scouted by Bang PD-nim. What a big honor. Big word. Big work. Big responsibility. And his Yoongi hyung is right. He can’t leave BIGHIT without telling the higher ups. He has this tasks already that the career of idols is at stake and that means Money. Bang PD don’t want to lose Money, Bighit don’t want to lose money.

He took a big deep sigh. Thinking a nice plan on how to tell Yoongi about his situation from the top. "My... My dad called me last night, hyung. Mad. Really mad. One of my cousin made it to a law school and he felt left out. Because his only son ditch his third year college instead he works as a pitiful music producer."

That last part came as a whisper. He didn’t even heard his voice saying that because he is ashamed for the fact he ditch his 4th year in a University to pursue his dream job.

"Bullshit. You made a debut track of TXT and it Top the whole charts. That's a great laugh, please tell your dad and he can kiss my ass too." Yoongi rolled his eyes completely more annoyed.

Jungkook didn't respond on that. "And he threatened me, hyung." He looked at Yoongi and as if he's waiting that he'll continue his sentences.

"He threatened me that he'll set Jihyun to a marriage next year to an old rich man--"

"Dumbshi--"

"Or I'll continue and finish my business course to my the same old uni." Jungkook felt the bile on his throat but he just swallows it and fighting not to let the tear fall down.

Don't cry.

“Fag don’t go to heaven, Jungkook. Straighten up. I don’t have a queer son. I don’t accept any homosexual on this household.”

"I just don't want to ruin Jihyun's life because i just want to live on my dream job."

"So you'll resign and follow what your father wants?"

"Or should I continue living what I want here in Seoul and I'll let him ruin Jihyun's life?"

His Yoongi hyung went silent. Jungkook is choking on his tears. He just don't want to let go of his current job. Despite of being under qualified the CEO of BIGHIT scouted him. Putting all of the trust and let him sign in. disregarded the fact that he barely reach the application.

Jungkook was the assistant head of the theater club on his uni before and he produced and composed a lot of tracks for the theater. A better OST of Macbeth that made the guests in awe because it is just beautiful. And one of the theater show during his second year that really hit and spike his career is when Bang PD watched the stage play of Tarzan and heard the unfamiliar song but still related to the theater play.

That made Jungkook not to enroll his last year in the uni. He packed up on his boarding school, went to Gangnam instead and worked as an unqualified assistant producer under BIGHIT for almost a year and half.

In a short span of time, he created various and different music. But his greatest achievement when he produced alone the title track of TXT; a newly debut group that received PAKs not leaving on charts up until now they are almost a one year old group.

So leaving the Bighit is his biggest nightmare. Almost like his dreams are starting to melt. His happiness turned to sadness.

But also, he doesn't want to trigger his Dad too. He knows the capability of him and he clearly knows that their father can settle his sister to a marriage even though she just went 18.

Money and Validation can make a man crazy.

"You're a big loss, Kid. Not just in BIGHIT but also in music industry." He know his hyung was telling a fact and not trying to console him. "But if that's your decision, I'm sure Bang PD can understand and he will understand."

Jungkook knows too. But there's a part of him hoping that his Hyungs and Bang PD will stop him and help him think other possible options but that seems impossible.

"Aren't you tired swiping all day long Jiminnie?" His bestfriend went to his bed with a dramatic fall causing the bed bounce.

"Tae, it's so boring but i can't even stop myself flirting. Some men just want someone to shove their d**k as soon as possible. Some old men literally bored out of me. There's no f*****g new."

Jimin is on his stomach so Taehyung crawled towards his direction to see how Tinder works. "It's just really amazing you survive the 3 days curse of Tinder. It's your 4th day."

"I almost uninstalled it when I saw the face of our History Professor."

"What the--?"

There's a loud knock came from their door so Jimin got from his bed and left his phone to Taehyung. Probably back reading some of the messages on Tinder but he don't mind tho. Keeping any secrets from his bestfriend seems like an impossible act, Taehyung is so smart and quick witted, even on small changes he can immediately notice it. A keen observer, one of their professor said. But also a b***h. He gets what he wants no matter what it will cost. b***h.

When Jimin opened the door he saw his Seokjin hyung with his few plastic bags. "Hyung! You're here!"

"You're here your ass. I kept bombing your phone, you and Taehyung, i kept asking if you can help me take this out--"

"Ahhh hyung. Stop it." Jimin giggled as he got the plastic bags to help his Hyung. Without their Seokjin Hyung probably he and Taehyung lived in all day noodles and even starve themselves.

“you unhealthy piece of shits!” that was the first thing Seokjin said the first day of him in the apartment.

Seokjin is a senior and graduating this year. He just don't know what will happen the moment the older one move out leaving them two alone. Yes they can cook. The basics. Cup noodles, Canned goods and process foods but not as much as Jin hyung talent in cooking. And as a business student and a nursing one, they procrastinate alot and they'll even forgot to eat once the pressure starts.

Nice.

When Seokjin said he'll going to take a nap because he have a class later, he assigned Jimin to take care of the groceries, arranging it to the shelves and fridge. While he's busy arranging the various condiments and vegetables, Taehyung was giggling going to his direction and holding Jimin’s phone infront of him as if he is reading something funny.

"Jiminnieeee. You're such a slut." He beckons and he just giggled.

Because he is. A slut.

"I wonder what will happen if I like the profile of our professor."

"You're not going to do that Kim Taehyung!" He warned. He bit his lips; completely forgotten his Seokjin hyung is taking a nap. "And shut up-- Seokjin hyung is sleeping-- you dumbass!"

Taehyung giggled and sat to the kitchen counter. "Fine. Here." Taehyung handed him his phone and he muttered a small thank you while arranging the groceries.

Later that night he found out that his bestfriend, Kim f*****g Taehyung liked the profile of their professor.

Once a b***h, always a b***h.

Installing...

Installed

Welcome to Tinder!

Jungkook sneakered on his breath. He don't even understand what the f**k his doing. He's just so bored on his rest day and decided to install the app.

He tap the sign up. He created the account, he really think twice what should he name his account. Should he name it on his real name?

Kookie

He set his preference too.

He likes... Men.

Because f**k genders.

He even snapped a picture under the dim lights of his room. Not too revealing his face but not too vague. It's seven in the evening yet he doesn't have energy to do something like grab dinner or what. He just can't accept that after this week he'll go back to Busan and start living on a man-made hell again.

Finally after he made his account completely he stare dumbly the screen. What should I do next? Should i uninstall this instead?

He swipe right and it popped a heart. When he swipe left it popped an 'X' on screen.

And it's a plain thing to do. Scan the profile if it's a good looking he'll swipe right. If not and too old he'll swipe left. His phone buzzed and he went to the message icon.

Tteoki67:

Hi there baby Kookie

Before Jungkook reply he clicks the profile button. He's good looking. Not too old also. So he went back to his message.

Me:

Hello Tteoki-hyung.

Tteoki67:

Cute baby

My d**k is hard

Because of your picture

You look so soft

Bet my c**k will pound your ass

He rapidly tap the home button of his iPhone. Almost crushing the screen. He was so shock, he just don't expect he'll encounter it much earlier.

He battles on himself if he should uninstall it but instead he wake up his phone and neglected the first person who message him and continue swiping left and right.

--

Jungkook yawns and as he checked the clock on his computer it says it's 23:38. It's almost midnight yet he didn't eat anything today. He just wants to finish the last song he'll produce before leaving the industry for good. Well-- at least that's what he taught.

His phone vibrated and he took glanced on it. Sure, it's from the Tinder. He's not in the mood for flirting. It's been two days-- almost three days when the clock hits all zero-- and he's thinking if he'll uninstall it because clearly he doesn't know how to flirt. And it's seems just useless to let it stuck on his phone. Sucks to be an introvert.

So he decided to uninstall it but suddenly there's a ting on his notification that made him smile for a while. Clearly unexpected to see it from the app. Or was it a ploy to please him?

Jimin:

Can I be your milk?

And you'll be the Kookie?

We'll be a perfect match

Hmm. It's the first decent one to chat him. Not asking him some nudes or telling him that their d***s are hard.

Me:

That's cute

Kekekeke

Sucks not to have flirt cells on your body.

Jimin:

But ur cuter

Jungkook bit his lower lip to suppress a smile. He clicks the profile of the other one and he can't deny the fact the man is attractive. Add on his cute cheeks, the kind that Jungkook wants to pinch.

Jimin, 24

Me:

ur much cuter

Hyung

Jimin:

So I'll take that I'm older

Me:

yes

Probably u won't expect my age

So yeah

Hyung

Jimin:

OH MY GOD

ARE U A MINOR?

I'll click the report button

Kid

This isn't the place for u

Go play plants vs. zombi instead

Zombie*

Me:

Stop being dramatic hyung

I'm not minor

I'll play overwatch instead

Jimin:

Oh

Rich

then what are u doing here on tinder?

Go play overwatch instead

Me:

I'm not rich

I'm bored

Boredom brings a lot of dangerousness

Jimin:

"Dangerousness"

That's a big word

Kid

There's a small knock from his door that made him almost to jump from his seat.

"Come in!" He shouted and he locked his phone and put it on his pants. Suddenly his Namjoon hyung went inside with a venti cup of frappe and he smile... Banana milk.

Namjoon offered to him the drink and he gladly accepted it. Namjoon seated on the other chair and he smile to the younger one.

"So next week will be your last?" Namjoon mumbled and started the conversation. There's a light ping from his phone and he disregarded it.

"Hmm. Yeah." Jungkook lightly scratch at the back of his nape. When Jungkook told his hyung about his resignation Namjoon kept silent and unexpectedly his Hoseok hyung too. Some other staff are in shock also the new group TXT and some of the trainees too. When he talk about it to Bang PD he cried. Yes. He did cried. Not that a weeping one but a small tears escape. It's just; you can't stop the tears from falling down.

"You're a great music genius, Jungkook. But I'll respect whatever your decision is." Bang PD said.

"But I'm going to finish the song I'm currently making, hyung. I'll just give it to you and you can take care of it."

Namjoon nod unconsciously lower his gaze. "Just..." He can see how the older clenches his jaw. "Take care, Jungkook."

"Yeah. Yeah. You too hyung."

--

Jungkook hit the bed upon heading back his dorm. He immediately got his phone out seeing few notifications from tinder and Twitter which is an update from TXT. His phone tells him it's 02:23 and his mind kept telling him he should go to sleep but his guts wants him to open the app instead.

Jimin:

You didn't take that as an umbrage, right?

Kookie

Kooooookieeee

Okay

:'((((((

Me:

Sorry

I fell asleep

For awhile

What's umbrage?

What?

He lied. But at least it's a reasonable one. He just didn't expect Jimin will reply. He's expecting the man is asleep right now-- but no. He received almost an immediate reply.

Jimin:

Thought u we're offended

Sorry babe

There's a light bubble from his inside upon seeing the call name. Okay, so take Jungkook as a sweet hopeless romantic one. Aren't we all are?

Jimin:

Umbrage like Offended

Literally I made it sound fancier

Go check thesaurus

Me:

Oh

You played word

Nice

Word for today

Umbrage

And

thesaurus

Jimin:

lol

Nice

Now

Tell me why you are still awake

It's 2AM

Me:

Same goes to you

Why you are still awake?

It’s 2 AM

Unconsciously Jungkook giggled. This Jimin guy seems nice. But Jungkook wonder what if he'll talk dirty to him. Jimin's face is clear on his account picture. A very cute one and he won't lie if he said he's not thinking how this guy talk bluntly and dirty to him.

Oh yeah, please keep in mind, he and his Namjoon hyung drank few bottles of soju and he's kinda tipsy right now.

Jimin:

Well

Kookie-ssi

I am a master procrastinator

And

I am suffering author's block few hours before my research's deadliest deadline

Me:

Yet

You're here in tinder instead

Nice

Jimin:

Same goes for you

Why you still up?

Jungkook bit his lip when suddenly his mind played a short scenarios. Alcohol bubble his nasty horny animal. Thinking if he'll make move first or what. This guy seems nice. Probably just bored. But next week will be his last week in Seoul. Base on his profile account he seems Jungkook's type and it might be for good if he'll do the honor to be Jungkook's last hurrah?

Me:

Hmm?

Take a wild guess

Daddy
