Upon hearing the loud cheers of the crowd- Taehyung started to doubt their confession. He didn't want to ruin the experiences of Jungkook's fans, they are too clueless about his presence backstage.

"Deep breaths Tae." Yoongi sat down beside him, patting his shoulder to give him comfort. "Try not to overwhelm yourself."

"I'm just.. Nervous hyung." Taehyung bit his lower lip, his hands beginning to fidget. "What of everything gets out of hand? What if they change those cheers into yells of hate?" He began to fire questions, the ones that would most likely happen- as to what he thinks for sure.

"It wouldn't be as bad Taehyung ah. It's normal for fans to overreact. Sometimes, people doesn't think straight into surprising situations. It's either they accept Jungkook's decision and continue to support him-- or be selfish enough to hate." Yoongi smiles. "Why do I know this? Trust me, love is about letting go- accepting. Infatuation is about lust and childishness, where they loved someone because of their physical structure and reputation."

The advice somehow calms Taehyung down. He shouldn't be weak if he wanted to prove everyone that he deserves Jungkook. If he was Jungkook's mate, he should show his supporters that.

"Thank you so much, hyung. Really." Yoongi nods at this, his smile never leaving his face despite how exhausted he was from a long week of planning and settling articles to release.

"Anything for you, Taehyung." The omega then averts his gaze to the small television at the holding area, watching Jungkook's concert with a proud smile- he was really trying his best, now he just felt bad of bringing him down before.

Maybe he should stand up for him just to pay back his immaturity before. Taehyung caresses his baby bump, even his own outfit couldn't cover the fact he had been carrying Jungkook's pup. This proves that no one couldn't seperate them anymore, perhaps because he's marked and pregnant.

Jungkook really made sure.

Before Taehyung could process- another VCR plays, with Jungkook being assisted to his dressing room for a quick retouch and outfit change.

"Jungkookie." The omega decides to check on his mate, giving him a water bottle to drink on. "Hey babe." He smiles, though he was exhausted it changes after seeing his mate. "You really boost my energy, have you seen my performance?"

"You did very good Jungkook ah." Taehyung doesn't forget to compliment, watching how quick the staffs moved, wiping Jungkook's sweat and retouching his make up- one of them was shouting the amount of time left, adjusting his mic and making sure he had no flaws on his outfit.

"Thank you." The alpha stood up after his makeup, pecking Taehyung's lips. "Just a few more songs, I'll see you then." Before Taehyung could even respond, he was told to get back up the stage.

"See you." Was the only thing Taehyung could say, sitting back down to calm himself down. "Damn, we can do this little one." He whispers to his baby bump- feeling a light kick that made him smile.

His hand pats his own thigh in a rhythmic way, humming along with Jungkook's song number as he tries to shake off the amount of nervousness he was feeling. Taehyung cheers silently, feeling tingly whenever Jungkook would stare to the camera and do expressions that never fails to make everyone shout with determination and enthusiasm.

He just hopes it remains the same after their big revelation. Even if it gets out of hand, Taehyung wouldn't change his mind at all. He wouldn't feel bad- Jungkook is his fated mate and none can change it to their own way.

"Are you ready Tae?" Yoongi approaches him again after a few songs. "You'll be going in a few minutes." Taehyung takes a deep breath, getting the mic from Yoongi's hold as he watches Jungkook have his speech to the crowd before his last song.

"You can do this." Yoongi encouraged, seeing how tensed the omega was. "It may be tough, but you and Jungkook will get through this. You have us to love you no matter what and I want you to remember that."

"Thank you hyung." Taehyung smiles wide, standing up before hugging Yoongi- carefully of course. "You have been by my side eversince this started. I appreciate that."

"Quit thanking me, it's not a big deal to love a caring wolf like you are." Yoongi chuckles. "You have been through alot of hardships but you chose to be strong. So continue to be like that."

"I will." He swore, looking at the TV again to see Jungkook looking a little tensed, as he was now hinting his fans about their confession.

"Your cue Tae. Be careful up there." Yoongi leads him to the back stage, making sure his mic was working and that he looked presentable to the crowd.

He could hear the cheers, in a more clear manner as his heart began to beat fast. He could feel the adrenaline rush through his veins, giving him mixed emotions as he waits for Jungkook to finish his speech of gratitude.

••••

"It has been a great day for me, did you guys enjoy it too?" Jungkook stood in the middle of the stage, the spotlights pointed to his direction aswell as the cameras that connected to the large scree  behind him for the fans at the back to see.

The audience answers him with enthusiasm, followed by loud shouts as they waved their lightsticks- others slipping sentences of how much they loved Jungkook or how handsome he was.

"I enjoyed myself here too, thank you so much for having me." Jungkook bows, showing them his famous bunny smile as he looks around the ocean of lights-- feeling the support and love with the cries and smiles on their faces.

It made him not fear the confession anymore. Maybe he could at least give it a try. It was now or never- it was better than the media attacking them with rumors first.

"The dance rehearsals were pretty challenging, but seeing your smiles are worth it." This made the whole crowd cheer in awe again-- oh how sweet his words were.

So he tries for it. "Will you still support me even if I were to tell you guys my secret?" He tries to sound like it was a playful manner, with the fans instantly agreeing to his question like it was just an easy thing for them to stand up on.

Jungkook paused, signalling the staff from below the chair to bring the two tall stool chairs- with him then occupying the other one.

He takes a deep breath. "Tonight, is a very special one for me." He began, feeling a lump on his throat- a weight on his heart as it was never easy to confess his love for someone that everyone thought was his rival. "I have.. Invited someone for my concert to make an announcement."

The audience cheers still, chanting possible idol names that could be the special guest-- some were already catching up while some were just confused as majority of people were.

"I hope you guys would respect me still and for what's to come." Jungkook says, in cue for the spotlight to be divided into two.

Taehyung steps out of the backstage, finally exposing himself to Jungkook's fans who had different reactions. The spotlight then finds its way to the omega, following him as he sped walk to where Jungkook was.

It was now quiet. Too quiet.

"Alright." Jungkook spoke as his voice echoed to the loud speakers of the arena. "This.. Is my special guest- the one who made this night out of the ordinary." He looks at Taehyung who gulped, and with trembling hand he raises the mic just in level with his mouth.

"Hello, everyone. I am Kim Taehyung." He introduced, bowing his head as he was having a hard time to create a formal bow. "You may have known me as the idol from the other company and Jungkook's rival." He adds, being assisted by the alpha to sit down.

The crowd didn't cheer. The arena was filled with mumbles and gasps, though their voices were too mixed up for the two idols to understand.

"Before this concert ends, I would love to finally get the heavy weight off my heart.. Our hearts." Jungkook spares Taehyung a glance again, to check if he was okay. The omega nods at him, already tensed when everyone noticed his baby bump.

"I couldn't wait for anything worse to happen for Taehyung, so we are formally here to announce our bond." This made the whole audience gasp loud, some starting to yell in protest through the majority of fans talking aloud. "We know this is too surprising to process, but we would want you guys to respect us. Taehyung here, is my mate and is now.. Carrying our first born."

It seems like the crowd couldn't handle it much longer. The couple soon sees an area turn off their lightsticks, followed by others-- though some were still on they can clearly hear the message.

Black ocean.

Taehyung could feel intense tears well up his eyes, biting his lower lip as he sighs out in disbelief. "I'm sorry Jungkook." He says off mic, not liking the reactions of the audience. Of course they wouldn't have a choice but to accept the fact they are true mates, and it's not like Taehyung would leave if anything happens.

But he couldn't help himself to feel bad about Jungkook's fans decreasing because he fought for his own decisions. It was one of the critical impacts of being in a relationship.

"It's okay." Jungkook assures, though he looked disappointed and hurt about the sudden black ocean that welcomed them. Sure, the alpha predicted about the protests- but he never thought of them actually giving him a black ocean.

After a moment of silence, Taehyung finally collects the courage to speak for himself. "We actually didn't know where we would open this topic up.. And we are nervous of what's to come." He says, trying to explain his side. "It may be too much to handle- especially because Jungkook alone became a special part in your lives. I am not asking for you all to accept and love me as much you did to him, but I would want respect for the fact we are fated for each other."

His eyes scans the whole arena once again, seeing the looks of confusion and disappointment in every eyes he met. "I know you probably think that.. I am too selfish to act this way, but I know not all secrets can be pleasing to everyone's ears." Taehyung fought his tears away, not wanting to cry infront of Jungkook's fans. He didn't want to be pitied again.

Here goes everything. "I am an omega. I am capable of getting pregnant and what you see right now is the proof of it. I am terribly sorry for choosing to keep it a secret for a long time." Taehyung finally admits the heaviest secret he had carried eversince he was a kid-- a secret he had kept for his own safety.

Right after his confession, he looks down, not wanting to meet the eyes of Jungkook's audience. The alpha notices this and he knew that it was his turn to speak.

"You may not love me the same way right after you head out of this arena," Jungkook says- all gloomy and sad about the black ocean he had recieved. It was his first time, but he hoped that this wouldn't happen anymore. "Please remember that I am still Jungkook. The idol you admired, and even if I will have my own family- that doesn't mean you guys aren't special to me. To us." His voice cracks by the time he was in the end of his sentence, tears welling up his eyes as he couldn't contain the aching inside of his heart.

"We are not asking for anything more but respect and a little bit of support." Jungkook reached and interwined his hand to Taehyung's, squeezing it assuringly tight as he sighs. "I am so sorry if this announcement wasn't expected, but we know it is best for everyone here to know."

Even if the alpha did this, they could still hear complaints and protests from different areas of the arena. Taehyung could feel shame inside of him, for being too selfish-- he began to cry.

His sobs can be heard through the sensitive mic, allowing everyone to hear his sadness. Some fans were giving him noises of awe, and some were too immature to care.

"Taehyung, it's okay.." Jungkook says, turning the chair so that he could face him well. He shushed him, wiping his tears away. "You're gonna be okay. Don't cry." He says, trying to stop his mate from crying.

That was when the two of them noticed the fans turning on their lightsticks. Though some preferred to be stubborn, majority of the fans have lit their lights back again, waving them forward as hey slowly cheer.

"It's okay oppa!"

"We love you still!"

"Don't mind the protests oppas, we are still here for you!"

"Taekook!"

The arena was filled with cheers again, some cheered for support while some shouted their unit name; Taekook. Taehyung sobs even more, his heart melting from the fact that there were still some people who appreciated them still even if this issue would be a huge change to their image as rivals.

Jungkook paused, listening to the sudden cheers as the arena was filled with lights again- the lights from each fans that still showed their genuine support to the fated couple. "Ah, oh my.." He spoke loud and clear to the mic, somewhat feeling thankful about them changing their minds as he felt his face flush.

The crowd sighs in awe the moment they see Jungkook break down into tears, just like Taehyung. Though he tried his best to bow his head low so it wouldn't be obvious, the cameras directed to him wasn't helping.

"Jungkook ah.." Taehyung smiles through his tears. "Look, they are cheering again.."

"I know Tae." Jungkook smiles back, wiping his own tears away as he turns to his audience. "Thank you, everyone. Thank you so much for standing up for me and Taehyung. We have been through alot just to plan this out, and to see some of you cheering for me still makes my heart melt." He sniffles, using the sleeve of his clothe to carefull dry his eyes.

"Thank you." Both Taehyung and Jungkook spoke, with the fans cheering a little louder again. "Please continue to love and support us no matter what." Jungkook finishes off their speech.

"This means alot to me." Taehyung smiles, slipping a few additions to close their announcement. "We hope to get through this with your positive cheers and respect. Remember we are still the same boys you have idolized.." He spares his alpha a glance, stnading up from his seat with the other meal following.

"But this time, we just fell for each other." Jungkook grins, with the omega leaning closer as they close the gap-- sharing a short yet sweet kiss infront of the audience who cheered aloud, which had payed off the nervousness and doubts Taehyung had.

In the ocean of supporters, there will be always a storm that would try to wash one off bay- to test one's loyalty to stay strong with whatever comes for them.

And Taehyung couldn't be more thankful to see Jungkook's ocean to be full of strong and loyal fans.

Did I write okayy? ^^ I hope it was!

To some of you who don't know, BLACK OCEAN is when lighsticks are turned off during an idol's performance or announcement. This shows disrespect for them and that they don't support that idol. (Which is sad :<)

Luvluv-A/n
