Out With A Bang | JiKook

twenty four.

Though everyone around him was dancing and cheering along to the music being played to them, Jimin was finding it hard to breathe.

This song was about him.

It wasn't just a conceited assumption either, he knew for a fact that the words being sung to him were written with only him in mind. He knew it for certain, because he had read them in Jungkook's scrawled handwriting just a couple of days prior.

It was honestly surreal, to be surrounded with lyrics that were an ode to him. Goosebumps rose on his arms and the hairs stood up on the back of neck, completely entranced as he stood in a crowd of people who were none the wiser.

'But I know
That you're wondering just how
far I'd go
If I'd even chase you
down at all

But I will until you
see me fall
to my knees at your feet, my darling.'

That chorus. Jimin remembered reading those words, huddling the paper close to his chest as he sat on the floor of the back room at his work - leaving all of his customers unattended. It had made his heart speed up then, but now? He felt close to cardiac arrest as the sweet smitten words rang through his ears, accompanied by a melody that he knew would be stuck in his mind for months.

Jungkook looked over at him, sweat beading up on his brow as his drumsticks crashed into the instrument below him. He mouthed along to the lyrics as Seokjin sang them, taking in every drop of Jimin's reaction as he listened to his personal serenade.

Jimin knew that he must've looked like he wasn't enjoying the set, but in reality he was just so awestruck he could barely move a muscle. He was completely captivated, stars in his eyes as fixated on Jungkook - the drummer never looking more passionate in a performance than he did right then.

'It's a late night, and I'm freezing
but you find me as I'm wheezing
from my third smoke this hour
and you shoot me with a face so sour

And just maybe, I'd quit for you
but I'd never admit that,
even if you asked me to
It's just my pride
Though you've already shifted the tide.'

Even if had never read the lyrics, Jungkook had made it abundantly clear that this song couldn't have been about anyone else. It was for him and him only, as he stood in the crowd with shaky breaths leaving his lips.

Jungkook leaned into the microphone attached to his drum set as the chorus kicked in once more, providing accompanying vocals that had a shive running down Jimin's spine. He had never heard Jungkook sing before, in all of the times he had ever heard them play. Though it was mostly overwhelmed but Seokjin's leading vocals, it was still there and Jimin still heard it.

He had never really provided background vocals before, but he chose to now on his song for Jimin. It was if he was trying to make it clear that this was his letter to raven haired male.

Jimin could barely even believe that this was a real thing that was happening, not just some dream or a scene from out of a movie.

He used to watch Jungkook from afar, hoping that by chance the drummer might give him a passing glance. Now though, he stood just a few feet away from him as he performed a song made specifically for him. It was absolutely surreal.

Taehyung and Namjoon swayed to the music beside him, completely oblivious to the dreamlike moment Jimin was experiencing beside them. He never wanted the moment to end, he wished he could stay there forever just surrounded by Jungkook's affection converted into song.
