Just Bandmates? || A Jikook Story

~Chapter 66~

Jimin's POV

"Jimin, Jungkook. Get up. We have practice," Someone said, waking me up. I opened my eyes and there was Hobi, fully dressed, and a smile on his face. "We're leaving in 20," he said and walked out of the room.

"Jungkook why did you want to practice?" I asked him. "I don't know," he said. I laughed and grabbed my phone. I turned it on and it's only 7 in the morning. Wonderful. I sat up and looked at Jungkook. He's definitely not a morning person.

I got up and walked to Jungkook's closet. I grabbed a shirt and a pair of pants and proceeded to the bathroom. Once I got to the bathroom, I changed, brushed my teeth, and fixed my hair. When I walked out of the bathroom, Jungkook was just walking out of his room. I laughed as he wasn't able to keep his eyes open.

I grabbed my phone from his room and went to the kitchen. Hoseok was talking with Jin, while Namjoon and Tae were eating something. Yoongi was not here. "Where's Yoongi-Hyung?" I asked. "Getting ready," Tae told me. "Wait, you're telling me I finished getting ready before him?" I was surprised.

"No Jimin, I just had to get my phone," Yoongi said walking in the kitchen. "You think you would beat me, never in a million years." "Sure, we'll see about that," I said. I grabbed an apple and started to eat it.

"Where's Kook?" Namjoon asked. "Getting ready," I said. "I bet he regrets saying he wanted to start practice today," Hobi said. "I don't regret anything. I'm just not a morning person," Jungkook said. "Morning Kook," Jin said.

"Let's go," Hobi said. "I didn't even get breakfast," Jungkook said. "Should have woken up sooner then," Hobi said. "Here," I said, handing him an apple. He rolled his eyes and took the apple from me. "Just take it easy," I whispered, before following everyone out to the cars.

~At The Studio~

We walked into the Bighit building and started heading towards our practice room. "What are you guys doing here?" Sejin asked as we passed by him. "Practicing," Namjoon said. "Don't worry Jungkook was the one who wanted to come," Hobi said. "Take it easy then," Sejin said. "Thanks," Jin said.

When we got to the studio, we all set our things down and took off our coats. "Okay, you guys can stretch for a few minutes then we'll get started," Hobi said. We all nodded, still tired since it wasn't even eight in the morning.

"If we start with Fake Love you guys can keep yourselves together, right? Hobi asked. "Yes," I said, not in the mood to talk about this again. We'll try our best," Yoongi said. "Okay well, if you can't, how about you do 20 push-ups?" Hobi suggested. "We'll keep it together," Tae said.

"Let's start with the chorus," Hobi said. We all got in position and Hobi started counting. It looked okay, but it definitely wasn't what it used to be. "Alright, you guys it needs to be sharper. Try and focus on making the moves look sharp, but they have to connect. Don't worry about one or else you'll mess up the other. Just be natural and have fun," Hobi said.

We got back in position and ran through the chorus again. This time it looked much better. "Alright that looks better, now let's see if you remember the rest of the choreography. Start from the beginning," he said. The problem is I can't remember what I do when Yoongi raps his verse.

We start the dance and I cannot remember what I am supposed to do during Yoongi's part for the life of me. Once we got to his part I froze, but I wasn't the only one. Jin, Tae, and Jungkook did too. We all looked at each other just standing there not knowing what to do.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Hoseok yelled. "Sorry Hyung," I said. "It's fine, it's been a while," he said. "Okay so, you get into the straight line right?" Hoseok said. We all went into the line and waited for Hoseok to say the next part. "So Yoongi walks past as you guys do the movement behind him. Remember?" he asked.

Jin and Jungkook seemed to remember, but Tae and I were having a few problems. "Okay, Tae," he said. "You do this." He showed Tae his part and for some reason, it reminded me of what mine was. "Jimin you got it?" Hobi asked me. "Ya," I said.

"Okay let's run it again. Start with Namjoon's rap," he said. We got into positions and started going through it again.

~A Few Hours Later~

"Alright everyone take 5," Hobi said. I walked and grabbed a water bottle, trying to catch my breath. I got onto my phone and it was about noon. "Guys actually, why don't we call it for today and go have lunch?" Hobi suggested.

Everyone nodded, well except Jungkook. "You guys go ahead, I'm going to stay," he said. "Jungkook, not this again," Namjoon said breathlessly. "Jungkook, we don't want you to overwork yourself, just come with us," Jin said.

"I'm staying here," he argued. "Why?" I asked. "To practice," he answered. That can't be the whole reason he wants to stay. "Jungkook," I said. He looked down and didn't say anything. Alright, it's time to play the game," I said.

"Hobi-Hyung," I said. "Not satisfied," he said. Why does he think so lowly of himself? It hurts me that he does. "Person?" I asked. "Him, I guess," he said. "You guess?" I asked. "Ya," he said. "Come on Kook," Hobi said, walking towards the door.

Jungkook's POV

I followed Hobi to the end of the hallway. I didn't want to do this right now. I just want to practice. "Alright Jungkook, I'm not going to force you but why do you want to keep practicing. If you tell me now, Jimin won't have to say any more topics," he told me.

"When we start concerts again these routines need to be perfect. And for that to happen I need to be perfect when doing my parts," I said. "Jungkook, I don't want to say anything other than, please just don't overwork yourself. Jimin worries so much about you and so do the rest of us," he said.

"Sorry," I mumbled. "Can you come to lunch with us. I know Jimin and all of us want you to," he said. "Okay," I agreed. "Thanks and Jungkook, we don't expect you to be perfect, army doesn't expect you to be perfect and most importantly you should expect yourself to be perfect."

He walked off back to the practice room and I just stood there. His words went through my head. I guess I shouldn't have to be perfect, but how does he know army doesn't expect it? I walked back to get my things, but his words never left my head.

I walked in and there they all were. Standing waiting for me. Jin and Namjoon looked worried. Yoongi looked tired, as always. Tae and Hobi had blank expressions. And Jimin. He looked ready to cry.

I walked over to him and pulled him into a tight hug. "I'm sorry," I whispered in his ear. "I got caught up in being perfect for army that I didn't realize I didn't need to be and nobody expected me to." Jimin just hugged me back and didn't say anything.

After a few more seconds I pulled away and looked at him. He had a smile on his face and so did the rest of the members. I'm guessing they heard what I told Jimin or Hobi told them. "Can we just stay here and talk?" I asked Jimin. "Yes," he said.

"We'll go have lunch. We can get you something to bring home, okay?" Namjoon asked. "Okay," Jimin said. They all left and Jimin and I were alone. "Okay, Jungkookie what is it?" Jimin asked me.

"I'm ready to talk about everything to you from the beginning," I said. "Okay, but come sit down with me," he said. Jimin sat against the wall and I sat between his legs. I sighed and started to put my thoughts together.

"Take your time," he said. I smiled lightly, while he ran his fingers through his hair. "Okay," I said.
