"I'm here!" You called out as you pushed open the door to their dance practice room. HoSeok and TaeHyung were both dancing but quickly stopped to greet you, bright smiles on their faces. "You're here!" HoSeok smiled as he gave you a tight hug, backing up to let TaeHyung say hi. "Noona," TaeHyung grinned as he hopped excitedly into your arms. "Did you bring any food today?" "Ani," you replied before he pouted cutely. "Next time." "Arasso," he smiled before joining HoSeok again. Two of the four practice rooms then opened, Jin and JiMin piling out of one and NamJoon and YoonGi out of the other. They immediately greeted you, also giving you hugs before dispersing throughout the dance room. As YoonGi escaped to the couch, throwing himself on, you quickly pulled Jin before he could leave, sitting him down on the ground with you. "What's up?" He asked before taking a gulp from his bottle of water. "Oppa," you started before whispering, "where's JungKook?" He cracked a smile before chuckling, "Is that all you needed to ask?" "Aniyo," you replied with a pout before glancing around the room again and then to the entrance. "I'm just kidding," he smiled while twisting the cap on his bottle, "he's in the corner room working on his singing." You responded with a nod before continuing with a cheeky smile, "His singing is so perfect already, but oppa, you know what's happening in a week right?" "Of course I do, it's our maknae's birthday. How could I forget," he replied before the speaker next to the both of you exploded with hip hop music. "Yah! Don't play it so loud! We're trying to talk here!" Jin shouted loudly while covering his ear as he glared at HoSeok, TaeHyung, and JiMin. "Mianheyo Noona!" JiMin shouted before turning the music down, smiling at you sheepishly. "Tch, apologize to her but not me," Jin scoffed before turning back to you, chuckling. "Anyway, I want to throw a surprise party for JungKook. I know you guys already threw a surprise party for him during your N.O shooting but then… I wasn't with him yet," you blushed before smiling at the thought of being in a secret relationship with JungKook. Being in a secret relationship with Jeon JungKook was the very last thing you would've thought of, of all the things in the world. The fact that you were his Noona too was even more unbelievable. Sure it made you a feel a bit older but then you could coo over how adorable he was and only you saw his aegyo that others couldn't. Everyone said that he couldn't do aegyo but around you, it seemed as if he wasn't the cutest fluff ball ever. "Oh, let's gather everyone before he comes out. We need to ask hyung first," Jin said before calling everyone over. "Leave the music on though." "So JungKook doesn't get suspicious," he whispered to you before grinning. Everyone quickly gathered into a circle before turning to look at you and Jin. You exhaled before smiling excitedly, "I want to throw a surprise party for JungKook." "Again?" TaeHyung asked before JiMin lightly smacked him on the arm. "Yah, Noona wasn't here before, of course she's going to want to give JungKook a surprise," JiMin replied. "How's our schedule like next week?" HoSeok asked turning to NamJoon. "I think we're going to be recording on Kook's birthday," NamJoon replied before YoonGi cut in. "We could do a backstage special though." He silently scratched his head in deep thought. "That sounds like a good idea," Jin pitched in. "And the fans would really like it." "But then Noona wouldn't be able to take part in it," TaeHyung said thoughtfully. You met his eyes before you silently mouthed a thanks to him. He nodded with a small smile, eyes upturned in crescents before you turned to look at NamJoon for a response. "We could do a surprise here at the company then," Jin replied, giving NamJoon a look. "It'd be easier for her to take part in and celebrate with all us. JungKook would like it too, he'd probably prefer that over filming for fans." "Bang PD-nim will want this to be part of the BTS episode though," HoSeok added in before sighing loudly. "We can still do it though," NamJoon replied calmly, everyone turning to look at him for an explanation. "How?" JiMin asked curiously. "We're just going to have to be careful with filming. They can't keep you from coming but they'll keep you out of all the cuts and photos," NamJoon explained before looking at you for an answer. "You'll have to wait until they're done filming from the very beginning to the end." "I'm fine with that, as long as I can be there. And besides, it's not like I won't be able to spend some time with him after the filming," you smiled while everyone nodded in agreement. The entrance door suddenly opened and the managers walked in, looking at the seven of you in confusion. "What's going on here?" You quickly turned towards everyone before tapping Jin's arm, "We'll explain." Everyone quickly dispersed to practice again just as the room JungKook was in opened. "Oh, Noona, when did you get here?" He immediately smiled happily, your heart skipping a beat. "She got here a while ago pabo," JiMin knocked his head before joining HoSeok and TaeHyung in the middle of the dance room. Instead of going and hugging JungKook like you normally did, you smiled back at him before pulling Jin with you to their manager. You missed JungKook's slightly confused expression as you began explaining the idea with Jin excitedly. "We could try doing it next week. You two take charge for this though, we'll have to look over the schedule again," he replied sternly. "Deh, we will, kamsahamnida," you bowed before pulling Jin back to sit in the corner to discuss more. You were sitting faced the boys dancing, along with JungKook but you were so into the conversation with Jin that you didn't notice any of the looks JungKook was shooting you through his reflection in the mirror. "We should get an ice cream cake, a treat for everyone. It's only once in a while," you smiled. "I…" "I'll buy it," you bribed, "And I know a great place where I can get it." "Ara, ara," he ruffled your hair playfully as you smiled cheerfully at him. You quickly pulled him to sit with you against the wall as you pulled out your phone, showing him cake designs and asking for his opinions on gifts for JungKook. The two of you hadn't been in a relationship long so you didn't know what he already had and what he didn't, so you wanted to get him something special. The door suddenly shut, grabbing your attention. You looked up from your phone, seeing HoSeok slightly tilt his head towards the door. "JungKook," Jin replied at your confused expression. Your eyes widened when you realized you had been ignoring him without realizing, "I'm gonna go check on him. Gomawo oppa." You quickly left the room, seeing JungKook's back disappear into one of the separate practice rooms down the hall. Silently, you rushed to the room, taking a deep breath as you stood outside. Gently, you knocked on the door before opening it, seeing JungKook sitting at the computer.You watched as he let out a big sigh before turning off the camera in the corner. "Mian, did I interrupt your log?" You asked as you walked in, leaning against the door as you shut it. He continued to stay silent, leaning on his arm with his back to you. With a frown, you quickly filled the seat next to him, trying to look him in the eyes. "JungKook, look at me," you softly asked, lightly placing your hands on his. He quickly pulled his hand away while looking the other way. "Is it because of me?" You were sure that it was because you ignored him, but you wanted to make sure that it was because of that and not anything else. You waited until a minute of silence passed before you stood in defeat, heart sunken as you headed towards the door. "Am I not good enough?" His voice sliced the air. "Deh?" You turned around to look at his back in confusion. He let out a long sigh before you quickly returned to his side, this time kneeling on the ground to look up at him. "JungKook look at me," you pleaded gently. He slowly looked at you, before looking elsewhere, trying to avoid your eyes. "You know that I feel insecure about being younger than you, I've told you before," he quietly said. "I don't like that you can't call me oppa, like you do to Jin hyung and JHope hyung and Suga hyung and Rapmon hyung. I feel like I can't protect you, I…" "JungKook-ah.." "No." He cut you off. "I'm jealous. I'm jealous that I can't make you feel the same way they do, I'm jealous that…" "JungKook, they don't make me feel anyway," you automatically said, watching as his expression faltered. He slowly turned to look at you, his innocent face looking at you with a sort of anticipation. "You're the only one who makes me feel the way I do." "Really?" "You might not be a man just yet," you teased as you tapped his nose before you leaned up and pecked his lips. "But I still love you nonetheless." He pouted before asking, a slight blush covering his cheeks, "But what were you talking about so intently with Jin hyung." "You, silly," you smiled before intertwining your fingers. "Oh! I have to go! I just remembered that I have to meet up with my sister." You kissed his cheek before letting go of his hand, rushing towards the door when his hand suddenly wrapped around your wrist, pulling you back. You spun around and crashed into his chest, his arms immediately wrapping around your waist as he placed his lips against yours. Your eyes widened as you felt your cheeks heat up before he broke the kiss and smiled down at you. "I might not be your definition of a man, but I can still be manly."
