Sweet dreams? What in tarnation was that? He's not developing some form of Stockholm Syndrome, was he? Taehyung couldn't afford to fall in love, certainly not with a faceless image in his head.

Soon, he hoped to change that.

Taehyung woke up the next day and eagerly headed to the mailbox after eating breakfast. He did this for almost the entire week, expecting the organizers of the GDA to send him the information he requested. When Taehyung called them for a favour, they did not guarantee they could provide him with that data, but they also did not deny him either. So Taehyung hoped they would make concessions for a member of arguably the biggest boy band in the world right now.

By the fifth day, Taehyung opened his lockbox containing a sealed brown envelope. He dashed to his room and almost tore off the top in his excitement. Inside were a few sheets of paper listing the 132 performers and awardees of the 32nd Golden Disc Awards. Among them, forty were female, ninety-two were male, including BTS, but only fourteen guys had first names starting with J.

Out of the dozen or so men, eight were close to or almost the same age as Taehyung. Two were Virgos: Park Jin-Young from GOT and Jeon Jung-kook from STB. And only one of them was younger than Taehyung.

Jeon Jung-kook. Could it be? Was it possible that the man who kept insisting he wanted nothing to do with Taehyung, was the one tormenting the popstar? Since when? Because as far as he remembered, Jung-kook could not even stand the sight of him. And as recent as last year's MMAs when they met backstage, Jung-kook didn't let on that they knew each other beyond their rivalry.

What were the chances that Jung-kook was the one whose cock he sucked, whose dick he craved, whose voice sent shivers down his spine?

The wheels started spinning in Taehyung's head. Maybe Jung-kook's misplaced hatred led him down this game of cat-and-mouse, master-and-servant, world popstar vs. local idol.

Whatever the case, Taehyung now realized why Jung-kook hesitated to divulge his identity. At least, he was not an over-zealous fan who could turn around and blackmail him. Jung-kook also had a reputation to uphold. Both of them did.

Taehyung smiled at this newfound revelation. Perhaps it's time to dangle a carrot in front of a rabbit.
