Even though I always know the morning will come
I want to stay in your sky like a star

⊱•──────༺♡༻─────•⊰

Taehyung leaned against the sink, the quiet room echoing his ragged breaths from running. The anxiety began riling him up again after experiencing a near panic attack.

He felt lost, misplaced and the entire series of flashbacks and déjà vu wasn't leading him to an answer either.

"Tae?" A soft voice called from behind and Taehyung raised his head to see his bodyguard's reflection in the mirror.

Part of Taehyung was relieved that there was Jungkook, ready to give him any sort of comfort he wishes and a part of him also wants to desperately find answers.

Taehyung was tired of gobbling down pills and relaxing his mind over something cryptic and unknown. Heck, why is this even happening?

Jungkook looked so devastated, his eyes of worry focused fully on Taehyung who was still breathing heavily. Maybe he should leave his idol alone.

"I- I can wait outside-"

"No, stay."

"Tae..." Jungkook walked in after the confirmation and stood beside his idol. Taehyung hung his head low as Jungkook rubbed his back for comfort.

"It's happening all again... I... I can't help it." Taehyung whispered softly, clutching onto the sink tightly to stand but now a pair of arms protected him, wrapped tight around his torso. His magic pill.

Jungkook engulfed Taehyung in his arms, back hugging him. Taehyung was flustered as hell, the subtle moments leaving him breathless.

He rested his hands on top of Jungkook's arms, trying to return the same amount of affection, leaning slowly against Jungkook's shoulder.

"You are going to be fine Tae. I know how strong you are." Jungkook assured and Taehyung smiled at him through the reflection.

"Mhmm, but I'm not as strong as my bodyguard."

"Looks can kill, Sir."

Taehyung chuckled and just like that Jungkook's embrace and his voice blew all his anxiety away.

Jungkook slowly let go of him and Taehyung turned around to face him, hands fixing his coat.

"Did I tell you how handsome you look today Jeonie?" Taehyung complimented and Jungkook grinned timidly.

"Says the most handsome man in the world." Jungkook's eyes widened when he realized he said that too loud.

His face turned to a shade of red and he looked down instantly. Taehyung couldn't help but giggle at his cute bodyguard.

"Aww Jeonie." Taehyung cooed, teasing to see Jungkook's tomato red face.

"Is Jeonie blushing?"

Obviously, Jeonie Jungkook was a blushing mess and his eyes widened when Taehyung cupped his cheeks out of nowhere.

Fuck, I'm going to combust right now! This man is going to be the death of me.

"Seriously, stop being this cute." Taehyung said and giggled, making Jungkook fluster more than he already was.

God, he's so cute.

Their faces were on the same level and Taehyung's hands were still on Jungkook's cheeks.

Feeling risky, Taehyung leaned in and placed his lips onto Jungkook's cheek, leaving a cute peck on it.

Jungkook looked like his eyes would pop out of his socket and Taehyung tried to stifle up his laughter. He adjusted his hair and sassily walked to the door.

Then Jungkook went to heaven. His hands went to his cheek where Taehyung, Min Taehyung, his crush, his forever idol kissed. His idol kissed his cheek.

OH. MY. GOD. This is heaven isn't it? I'm dead, I am dead for real. OH MY GOD?

"C'mon Jeonie, we have a show to attend." Taehyung called, acting as if nothing had happened a few seconds back. Like he didn't just give Jeon Jungkook a soft kiss on his cheek.

~•༻✧༺•~

Taehyung sat nervously on his chair, waiting for the result of the very first award he was nominated- Style icon of the year.

The huge LED screens played the clips and pictures of celebrities who were nominated for this category.

"And the winner is..." The two announcers pulled up a small suspense and Jungkook shook both of his legs aggressively under the table.

"Taehyung, it's Taehyung. Fuck, have you not seen his style? It's definitely him."

Jungkook repeated in his head and the cameras zoomed into all the nominees. The crowds cheered loudly.

"MIN TAEHYUNG!"

"YES!!!"

Taehyung smirked as Jungkook stood up happily, clapping for him.

Taehyung walked on to the stage, his subtle cat walk ending the careers of models right there. He bowed in front of all once and received the award.

"To my fans, your idol is a style icon now!" Taehyung joked.

"Thank you so much for your constant love and support guys. I will try my best to set a new trend soon." With this, he winked and walked away, making his fans go wild, screaming for him.

The award show continued with performances and awards of different categories. Taehyung won all the awards in all the four sub- categories he was nominated for. From Top Social Artist to World-wide Icon, from fashion to endorsement, everything was ruled by him and him only.

Jungkook proudly held the awards as if they were his child while Taehyung simply slayed whenever he appeared on the screen. Smiling and waving to the crowd.

It was finally time for Taehyung to get to the backstage. He was performing his hit song, Singularity. Jungkook's favorite.

Jungkook followed behind closely and handed the awards to the staff members before helping Taehyung to pull out his coat.

Jeon Jungkook knew he won in his life again. What a privilege.

The staff had surrounded Taehyung, handing him his costume, arranging his accessories and makeup touch ups. Jungkook patiently waited outside Taehyung's dressing room.

But boom as soon as Taehyung walked out ready to perform, Jungkook's jaw legit dropped.

Taehyung looked like a sinful angel dressed in a blend of pink and glittering gold. His eyes had shimmering gold makeup, highlighting his eyes. Fingers and ears adorned in gems and his pink hair styled to reveal his forehead slightly.

This was the deluxe version of Singularity, set to kill.

The staff helped him set his mic, carefully tucked in behind his iconic long coat. He passed a teasing smile towards Jungkook who gulped.

Taehyung was now backstage, humming the lines of Singularity, ready to set the stage on fire.

The stage went pitch dark with the staff guiding the idol to his position. The music played loudly but the crowd was louder once Taehyung appeared under the light, sassily teasing himself with the coat holder.

Jungkook didn't know if he was breathing. He got to see Singularity live, that too this close. Jungkook was sure he was drooling, eyes hypnotized by Taehyung moving.

Taehyung danced oh so effortlessly, his melodious voice and flirty actions sending his fans frenzy. Towards the end of his song, he lifted the flower from the end of the shadow, intentionally throwing it to Jungkook's side, covering his face with the mask.

This was by far the loudest the crowds went. An absolute delight to watch Min Taehyung perform.

Taehyung walked away from the stage while Jungkook quickly picked up the flower and placed it in his front pocket.

Taehyung breathed heavily as he went backstage. The technical staff helped him remove the mic and Jungkook hurriedly opened water and placed the bottle on Taehyung's lips.

He then wiped Taehyung's face with tissue. His eyes and actions were full of care, no adulteration or any motive behind. It sends butterflies to Taehyung's belly.

"Did you like my performance?" Taehyung asked once they both were alone and Jungkook stopped in his actions.

"H-huh?"

"My performance, Jeonie. Did you enjoy it?"

"You were amazing as always Tae." Taehyung smiled satisfied and flicked Jungkook's chin with his fingers.

Jungkook was tested very well that day, his patience was on the edge of losing. Taehyung was teasing him very well, fluttering his already whipped heart more.

~•༻✧༺•~

The award show was in its last phase. The time for presenting the grand awards of the night.

Album, Song and Artist of the Year awards respectively.

The MC, Wooshik walked onto the stage again, presenting his speech about the importance of the upcoming awards and so on.

Taehyung was happy to win a lot of awards that night but like every artist, the grand awards were always special.

With the crowd tensed under the pressure and the building up suspense, the nominations began with the Album of the year.

The MC pulled up a dramatic suspense again with the crowd going silent. Taehyung had closed his eyes, his heart beating loud, adrenaline rushing in.

"The winner of the 18th Annual Disc Music Awards for Album of the Year. The award goes to... MIN TAEHYUNG!"

Taehyung couldn't believe it was really him. Jungkook stood up happily, the table already full of awards but he was delighted that Taehyung could win more.

Taehyung was very, very happy. He walked to the stage and Singularity played on cue. He walked so stylishly in his attire with a wide smile on his lips.

"Wow. I- This is the first time I'm receiving this grand award. I truly feel honored and to my fans out there-"

A loud cheer erupted in the arena and Taehyung smiled widely.

"I'm so grateful to have such loyal fans and please know that I love you all. At this moment, I would like to thank all the staff members of BigHit and of course, Producer Min- nim for this album. Hyung, it's because of you that I get to stand here today and receive this award. I know he'd be watching me right now too. Thank you very much."

The crowd cheered loudly for him in pure joy and Taehyung showed his infamous boxy smile and walked back to his seat. His bodyguard had heart eyes for him after listening to him talk.

After the grand performance by a famous boy band, it would be time for the next nomination for the night.

The next grand award for the night and the same suspense built up in the arena.

"The winner of the 18th Annual Disc Music Awards for Song of the Year goes to..."

"Ah! Well, it is the song that made our culture proud, the song that hit most number 1s-"

The crowd screamed loud, deafening the voice of the artist announcing.

"MIN TAEHYUNG for Idol!"

Taehyung seriously was shocked and looked at his Jeonie who stood up proud, clapping so loud.

This was unbelievable and very emotional too, winning the second grand award for the night.

"This- I, I honestly have no words for this. This award-" Taehyung's eyes were full of tears and Jungkook turned away to hide his tears too.

"This award is for my fans. It's for you guys. For each- each and everyone one of you who voted. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!"

The crowd cheered for him and supported him by chanting his name loudly and Taehyung couldn't be more grateful.

~•༻✧༺•~

The award night was coming to an end, finishing the evening with the greatest award of the night- The Artist of the year award.

Everyone present there believed it was Taehyung, the crowd cheering for Taehyung the loudest as the nominees played on the huge screen.

Taehyung too prayed to win the award as well because that category mattered the most to him.

He closed his eyes as the MC pulled up the suspense before announcing.

"LEE HYUN!"

Huh? What?

The crowd went silent at the result but fans still cheered for the winner.

Taehyung stood up too, so did the other artists there. He was a little disappointed but not even a bit envious.There was one person that was salty, Jungkook.

"The fuck is wrong with you all? Taehyung is the only artist who deserves it. Whatever, fuck you all."

Taehyung showed his widened eyes to his bodyguard who had zero enthusiasm. Jungkook fake clapped for the winner.

~•༻✧༺•~

The award night had finally ended for the fans and the viewers but for the celebrities the real fun was yet to begin- the after-party.

The party was organized in the famous hotel nearby. Taehyung walked into the luxurious hotel through the wide hallway.

Jungkook followed behind, closing, a hand fixed on his ear piece, while Taehyung greeted everyone around.

"Here comes my man! Young Min Taehyung." The old lady, the veteran artist that had always been Taehyung's inspiration and role model exclaimed and Taehyung squealed in joy before running to her side, bowing in respect.

"Ah Yeonji sunbaenim." She squeezed Taehyung's cheeks and Taehyung giggled at his senior artist.

They soon took a picture together and Taehyung walked inside. To say the venue looked alluring would be an understatement. From drinks to food, the quality was top notch.

The place was definitely the ideal choice for inviting all the celebrities, a stunning space full of lavishness and extravaganzas.

The venue had a gorgeous wide hall that was ideal to host any party. It offered a luxurious setting to carry out the party smoothly with tight security and protection.

"Why don't we sit Jeonie?" Taehyung asked and Jungkook nodded, making the way to lead Taehyung to his destination.

Taehyung couldn't even breathe because other celebrities joined him quickly, huddling over the poor boy who had to fake laugh all the damn time.

Jungkook was instructed to stay silent because Taehyung didn't want to come off rude to them.

After what felt like half an hour, Taehyung huffed annoyingly. A clingy female finally left his table. Jungkook quickly passed him the glass of water which Taehyung gulped down quickly.

"I'm already exhausted Jeonie."

"Do you wish to leave now Sir?" Jungkook asked with concern and Taehyung just shook his head. He had to keep up the formal talk when they were outside.

"It's too early Jeonie. An hour or more then we leave."

Taehyung sat peacefully while the waiter came in with plates full of delicious food but Jungkook's eyes were wandering around, realising that almost all of the celebrities were here.

"What? W-wait, is that IU?" Jungkook asked unintentionally, pointing to the idol and Taehyung turned around to look.

"Huh? Yeah, that is her. Do you want to meet her?" Taehyung asked simply but Jungkook panicked and shook his head.

"Ji-eunssi!" Taehyung called even after Jungkook's attempts of stopping.

The said beautiful singer was talking to someone when Taehyung called her.

"Taehyung- ssi!" She greeted as she sat beside Taehyung on his table and Jungkook couldn't believe that IU was actually sitting besides him. She was his favorite before Taehyung debuted.

Looking at her brought him back to his childhood times.

"Ji-eun-ssi, meet my good friend and bodyguard, Jeon Jungkook. He seems to be a fan." Taehyung introduced him to her and Jungkook panicked.

"How sweet. Nice to meet you, Jungkook." They shook hands and Jungkook remained quiet.

"Jeonie is too shy." Taehyung whispered to IU who chuckled at her fan.

"Taehyung- ssi, today was amazing. I can't believe you bagged so many awards!" She exclaimed and Taehyung just shook his head with a wide smile.

"I can't believe it either." A voice interrupted them from behind. It was Choi Taejoon, an idol who sat at the adjacent table.

Taehyung, Jungkook and IU turned to face him who took a sip from his champagne and stood to walk to Taehyung's side.

"Album of the year, Song of the year.... Funny that you don't even deserve those but then there is Min Yoongi. Don't be too proud of yourself Taehyung- ssi." He scoffed and Jungkook stood up quickly in defense.

Taehyung stopped his bodyguard from spitting insults back.

"What is that you want to tell Choi?" Taehyung asked boringly.

"Honestly, if you were talented enough, you would have won the Artist of the year too, but you didn't. Just a puppet of your brother's, aren't you?" He laughed and mocked at Taehyung.

The insecurities from last night resumed but Taehyung knew better. What more of a behavior can he expect from a man facing continuous rejections.

Choi Taejoon was still sour that he was a rejected case by BigHit entertainment.

"Talk to him when you at least get a nomination. Sir." Jungkook spat, forcing the last word out. He would not hold himself back this time.

Nobody insults his idol in front of him. Nobody.

"Jeonie, don't. He's drunk and not worth the time." Taehyung said and was about to turn around but the guy spoke again.

"Leaving like a coward? You are simply proving how weak you are Taehyung-ssi."

Jungkook gritted his teeth and tightened his fists, eyes burning with anger furiously.

Taehyung froze in his place, the similar sound resonating in his head but no one was actually talking.

"Look, Pathetic Prince is leaving the garden in the middle. How much of a coward."

"I won't be surprised if he leaves the war zone in the middle too. What more do we expect from a weak creature?"

Taehyung's head spun and the echoes of those words were too loud in his head. Jungkook would have landed his fist on Choi's face but his attention was drifted immediately towards Taehyung.

Jungkook panicked as soon as Taehyung became all dizzy, falling onto Jungkook's shoulder.

His bodyguard quickly carried him out of the party venue, not giving a care about anything else because Taehyung was all that mattered to him. His sole focus will always only be on Taehyung.

The idol groaned as pain shot up his head and his vision blurred out. He was taken to his car, safe with Jungkook beside him.

"Taehyung? A-Are you okay?" Jungkook asked worriedly.

"Tae?" He shook him slightly and Taehyung finally came back to reality. The cold breeze of the air conditioner of the car helped him relax.

Despite his vision being hazy, all he could see was the distant outline of Jungkook's face.

Taehyung blinked his eyes open, his vision clearing, focusing on his Master Jeon's face.

"J-Jeonie..." He whispered with teary eyes and Jungkook's worries grew.

"What happened? Why are you crying Tae?" He asked, cupping Taehyung's face. The tears streamed down more.

Taehyung finally let go of his feelings and jumped onto Jungkook and hugged him tightly. He held onto Jungkook's embrace, he needed it the most, he needed assurance.

Jungkook stumbled but still managed to wrap his arms around, trying to soothe him by rubbing his back and Taehyung finally pulled away.

"A-am I really weak? Do I not deserve all of that?" Taehyung asked and Jungkook's gaze softened quickly, hands reaching out to wipe his tears away.

"Taehyung ah, why would you even say that? No! Of course, not, if you are anything, it's beautiful. You are beautifully kind and the strongest of hearts I have ever met. Please don't say things that are hurtful for me to even think of."

Jungkook assured him but then they both froze. Their expressions turned blank as the feeling of déjà vu took over them.

Why did it seem as if it happened before? As if Jungkook had said those words before.

All that Jungkook could think of was how his Prince Min was crying in front of him.

Taehyung narrowed his eyes at Jungkook's expression. Jungkook leaned closer and whispered.

"P-Prince Min?"

Jungkook didn't know what came over him or what he had uttered but Taehyung gasped.

"Fuck Jeonie, you knew?" He asked, voice full of shock.

Suddenly all of his emotions, his feelings, it all washed over him like a tsunami. Taehyung's eyes wandered all over Jungkook's face to find the answer he had been asking himself all this while.

Who was that man in his dreams?

It was him, Jungkook was the man in his dreams and nightmares. He was the face Taehyung saw. Jungkook was the man he had been searching for.

"J-Jungkook..." Taehyung cried as he held Jungkook's face in his hands, connecting their heads together.

"God Tae... I... Why is this happening to me? I, I really don't know Tae but... All I want to do is to stay beside you, so badly. I don't want to let you go again." Jungkook cried and tears fell off his face too.

Taehyung couldn't help himself anymore, the unknown feeling of relief washed over him. There was so much relief in Jeonie's words.

It felt like they finally met each other. Their eyes locked, holding so much unspoken words, so much to express.

Their eyes travelled from their eyes to their lips. Taehyung and Jungkook wanted it so badly, their lips were dying to touch each other's.

"Tae.." Jungkook's voice sent soft shivers all over Taehyung. There was so much love, so much faith in his words.

Jungkook did not hesitate this time, he placed his lips on top of Taehyung's and the idol's eyes widened as soon as he felt them against him.

Was this really happening?
