❝The moon looks lonely
Like it's crying in the bright night sky❞

⊱•──────༺♡༻─────•⊰

Taking his soul mate's suggestion, Taehyung decided to seek help with the doctor because taking a risk for an upcoming comeback was far too much.

It is not worth taking that risk, not when he worked so hard and did everything in his might to make sure things went perfect. This comeback was meant to have an impact and Min Taehyung made sure of it.

The doctor suggested a few mind relaxation exercises. He was also put on another dose of heavy pills, his body falling into peace for a little bit. But what really comforted him more than anything was Jeon Jungkook's presence around him.

Yoongi on the other side couldn't risk his brother's health so he cancelled the shoot the next day and instead suggested an indoor studio shoot. The outdoor captures were enough for entrancing his fans who have no clue about this comeback's visuals.

This time, with careful guidance and ideas, Taehyung was focused on his work and fortunately the shoot ended in a single day. The MV was finally ready and in a matter of days to be released to the world.

The comeback date drew in closer and closer and Taehyung too awaited for the release. His fans had always been insanely supportive towards him and helped him to walk this path of glory.

Jeon Jungkook, his bodyguard, didn't forget to preorder the album secretly. Even though the whole comeback was spoiled for him, he felt lucky to witness Taehyung's whole work and inputs closely.

~•༻✧༺•~

It was Friday, the day Taehyung's album would be released. Yes, the day had finally come.

Taehyung was in the mansion, sitting in the living room with his brother Yoongi, director-producer Namjoon and his best friends, Jimin and Hoseok.

"Aaaahh~ Can't wait!" Jimin hopped on the couch with hands tightly fisted. He was more excited than Taehyung himself. Obviously soul mate culture.

Everyone giggled at him as they joined each other in the living room with Jungkook standing by the door, his heart eyes focused on Taehyung.

Jungkook chuckled at Jimin and then averted his gaze to Yoongi who glared, deep into his soul and Jungkook gulped, acting to adjust his earpiece.

Yoongi had been staring at the bodyguard constantly, noticed how he smiled and glanced at his little brother obviously.

"WOW! A MINUTE TO GO!!!" Hoseok yelled as he checked his watch, all of them huddling near Taehyung.

Taehyung cutely flinched, his finger between his lips and Jimin refreshed the official YouTube channel, seconds before it would drop.

Jimin screamed and clicked on the video, the sound of the classic BigHit logo resonated on the large TV screen. 

"LET’S GO!!" Hoseok howled when Taehyung appeared in his pearl hanbok in the old set up. This was truly completely different than what he thought, more amazing than Taehyung expected.

"Y’all I don’t go spitting facts, but lemme tell you, this. This is the bop of the year. Period." Jimin stated and whatever Jimin states is a fact.

~•༻✧༺•~

Taehyung's comeback was, of course, epic. His music video and album began breaking records as soon as they dropped. It was the most viewed MV in 24 hours by a soloist, #1 in iTunes charts grossing in more than 115 countries, the sales and graphs charting up higher and higher, breaking his old records.

That was too good.

Taehyung's comeback made his schedule busy too, all the time passed by swiftly performing or attending interviews, exhaustive and tiring but new achievements day by day- a small perk of being an idol.

Jeon Jungkook had always been beside Taehyung, learning and taking care of minors and major things for the betterment of his idol.

Though this comeback led Taehyung to success and glory with the hard work and dedication of fans but the haters work harder.

With their unbearable jealousy and joblessness, they began spreading hate against Taehyung, making social media accounts only to drag him and make fun of his music.

Not that Taehyung had ever gave a fuck about it but this shit hurts when he is alone. All that hate comments replay in his head to a point where he can't fall asleep.

It was a busy day like usual. The night arrived and Taehyung was in his bedroom, scrolling through the feeds, a smile erupting on his face every time he read posts and comments from his fans. The timing was so shitty that an anti ruined his mood midway.

Though he would normally just scroll down, this time he clicked on the profile, finding how it was a complete troll page for Taehyung. Not just one or two but many haters, all gathered shamelessly to mock him and make fun of his talent.

"Yoongi is like my favorite producer but shit his brother looks like a pig. I just can’t listen to that shit."

"Fuck man, Bighit has tons of money but they chose Taehyung? A disaster?"

"Tbh, he is so overrated. Like bitch, what’s with your taste stooping so low?" 

Taehyung tightened his jaws, throwing his phone to the bed, biting back a curse.

What the fuck do they even want?

Taehyung didn't want to but he couldn't hold back his tears. The salty droplets streamed down his face and soon he turned into a sobbing mess. He felt weak and unimportant.

The timing earlier was shitty not now because Jungkook walked into the room, spoon stirring the honey in the milk. His secret savior.

"Here you go, Tae-" Jungkook stopped.

"Tae?" He called, trying to look at the beautiful face, now red and drenched in tears. Taehyung quickly covered them with his hands.

Jungkook's heart broke to see him crying like this. He had never seen him crying like that before either. The idol let his guards down for the first time in a while, his patience being fully tested.

Jungkook walked towards him and set the milk by the nightstand. He then knelt down in front of his idol.

"Hey~" Jungkook called out, trying to remove his hands from his face.

Taehyung let him, he let Jungkook see this vulnerable side of him. Jungkook's gaze softened as he saw the teary face up-close, without thinking, he quickly pulled Taehyung in for a warm hug.

My beautiful Tae. Please don’t cry, I will end up crying too.

"W-What happened? Why are you crying?" He asked and Taehyung remained silent, arms slowly wrapping around Jungkook.

"Tae, please? Tell me, what is it?" Jungkook asked again as he broke off from the hug, sitting beside his idol. He took out a cloth to wipe the tears from Taehyung’s face.

Taehyung sniffed up while Jungkook pressed the cloth to his eyes and to his cheek while his other hand softly caressed Taehyung's back.

Jungkook quickly poured a glass of water, making Taehyung drink it and the said boy finally calmed down.

Jungkook felt a pang of pain in his chest when Taehyung's bottom lip quivered from the hiccups. The bodyguard couldn't help but pull his idol’s head against his shoulder, rubbing his back up and down.

His eyes then landed on Taehyung's phone on the bed, only to find a bunch of shitty comments. Jungkook gritted his teeth out of anger but sighed remembering what was more important to him.

Jungkook had seen such comments before too. During his fanboy days, he had ended many hating accounts by mass reporting them but haters will always hate.

Jungkook took a mental note of all the accounts and wrapped his arms around Taehyung who felt comfort in his embrace, his hiccups and sniffles started to disappear finally.

"Tae…. They are just a bunch of kids who have absolutely no other job to do." Jungkook spoke and Taehyung looked at him instantly.

"They say this because they are jealous of the magic in your voice. Imagine how unfortunate it is?"

"What is?" Taehyung asked, eyebrows knit in confusion.

"Well, living and still being dumb enough to NOT listen to your voice? I mean, I get to listen to this glory close by. People would kill for my place, yet there are people missing out on such entrancing talent." Jungkook’s eyes shined when he spoke and Taehyung stared deep down into them.

Jungkook put his hands on Taehyung's clasped hands, bringing them in his hold so gently.

"Tae, you- you are a work of God. Not everyone here is an artist to understand the art you are. You are graceful, you are elegant, Tae." Jungkook whispered, lips tugging up for a reassuring smile.

"And you? What do you think of me?" Taehyung asked, despite knowing how he is the world to the other.

Jungkook smiled widely, bringing his hand closer to stroke Taehyung's cheek.

"You are beyond my imagination. You are everything and beyond."

The fastening of Taehyung's heart, the fluttering of warmth all over himself, the idol knew he fell head over heels for his bodyguard. 

"It's a very important day tomorrow, for you, and for all of us. The day the haters get their slaps. Min Taehyung-ssi is gonna ace tomorrow." Jungkook said encouragingly.

"Don’t forget to drink that warm milk Tae!"

Taehyung smiled and nodded.

~•༻✧༺•~

The grand night of the awards has finally arrived. After the comeback, it was the most awaited night for both Taehyung and his brother.

The idol was perfectly ready for the night, his red hair faded to shade of pink, matching his pink suit.

With Gucci perfume sprayed all over and the pink Chanel earring hanging poised. 

Oh, must we mention the face?

Breath-taking and glowing as always, Taehyung looked ethereal and beyond.

As soon as his car stopped, Jungkook walked out, opening the door for Taehyung who stepped out, brushing his hair out sassily from his sight.

The crowd went insane as soon as they found their superstar in front of their eyes, stunning on the red carpet. The heavy screams filled the surrounding and a smile homed Taehyung's lips who turned to check Jungkook who was behind him all the time.

The photographers gestured and called out to the idol to stand and pose for the pictures and Taehyung did as he was asked to.

Meanwhile, Jungkook was busy looking around making sure his idol faced no threat. He quickly noticed how reporters behind the cameramen were slowly beginning to shoot questions. Taehyung smiled politely and listened to them attentively but all they asked were mere rubbish.

Before they could bother him anymore, Jungkook lightly patted Taehyung's back, gesturing to him to walk further who quickly obliged.

And that night, the fans found a whole new distraction for them. 

Jeon Jungkook finally was in the limelight and the fans swooned over him, instantly circulating his pictures all over the internet which Jungkook was completely unaware about.

Taehyung walked in safe, the securities finally scattering around and he was left with his personal bodyguard.

Jungkook would be lying if he wouldn’t agree to how every time his eyes would land on Taehyung, he totally forgot the reason behind his whole goddamn existence. 

Min Taehyung can send him straight to heaven by a glance.

Jungkook tried his best not to stay distracted by his looks because he needed to make sure his idol was happy and safe.

Taehyung met other idols in the back stage, all of them pulling him for a hug and clicking goofy pictures 

Jungkook watched how some artists tried to play it cool, getting over-friendly with him, making him poke his inner cheeks. With passing time, Jungkook reminded his beautiful idol that they had to walk further, excusing him from the small talk.

"You seriously can't see me with others Jeonie, can you?" Taehyung said and laughed it off as he walked inside and Jungkook looked down shyly, one hand on his earpiece all this time, receiving information about the event.

Jungkook had spread his arms around Taehyung, protecting him as he took him carefully to his formerly informed seat. 

The arena soon filled up with the famous celebrities and veteran artists. Jungkook stood beside Taehyung throughout until a staff member told him to move to the very end of the arena where other bodyguards were posted before the recording began.

Taehyung was annoyed and didn’t like the way the staff addressed his Jeonie. He wasn’t just a bodyguard to Taehyung.

"Jeonie?" He called before Jungkook could leave.

"Yes sir?" Jungkook leaned over to hear closely but Taehyung rolled his eyes and pulled his hand to make him sit beside him.

"You're sitting here."

"B-but I-"

"If I tell you that you’re sitting here, then you will sit here."

Boy, who was Jungkook to disobey?

He sat beside Taehyung and anyone could possibly misunderstand him with any other celebrity. He looked extremely handsome in his well fitting suit, parted hair and the infamous frown of concentration.

Taehyung sat properly on his place meanwhile idols passed by and bowed continuously, which he responded with slight bows and a huge smile.

Everyone greeted him before taking their seats, of course it was Min Taehyung's impact on the whole damn industry.

When this meet and greet was over, the MC walked on the stage with dramatic music playing in the background. All the lights dimmed down and were focused onto the stage.

The crowds cheered for the MC of the day, none other than Choi Wooshik, the very handsome and talented actor.

Taehyung's eyes sparkled with joy as he saw him from afar, waving hand for him who smiled widely.

Jungkook was aware of their friendship from his fan-boy days and he didn't like the other one, not even a bit because of how much Taehyung liked him.

Jungkook couldn't help but frown, not just that MC but everyone walking by, greeted Taehyung and pulled him for a hug.

Taehyung being the social butterfly did it gladly but Jungkook couldn't help but burn inside. He poked his tongue to his inner cheeks, shaking his leg under the table.

"Welcome to the 18th Annual Disc Music Awards! Wow, I’m truly very grateful to welcome all the stars here tonight. Without further ado, let’s begin the show with the medley of all the hit songs of this year. Presenting to you, the first act of the night, the wonderfully talented, charismatic and beautiful- Hwasa." Wooshik announced and loud cheers erupted immediately.

As soon as Hwasa came up on the stage, the crowd went wild. She began performing with the early hit songs one by one. The familiar intro beat played and the spotlights zoomed to him who hid his face behind his hands. Hwasa passed by him and began her next song.

Taehyung threw himself on Jungkook's shoulder, giggling shyly after getting all of this attention but now Jungkook was in the limelight, 'who's that hot guy?'

The camera shifted to the pitch black stage, a rumble of thunder. The set and background changed to the ancient streetscape and a kingdom throne.

Hwasa performed gracefully and then sat on the throne, her voice paying due respect to the original track.

Taehyung straightened his back now, adjusting him on the chair as the surrounding suddenly became suffocating. He blinked his eyes, mind zoning out, muffling his surroundings.

The music was no longer captivating, it turned into a sickening dreadful sound of particular pitch night, repeating in his head over and over again.

The said song ended long ago yet Taehyung couldn't bring himself to reality, nor could he focus on anything.

“Master Jeon.”

Taehyung immediately stood up when he heard the voice, running to the restroom and Jungkook knew something was definitely wrong.

Something was definitely wrong because he too felt the same urge to run away from this uneasiness.
