Jungkook's heart stopped, his body frozen as he watched his boyfriend stumble towards the edge of the stage with his hand on his forehead, seeming in a lot of pain.

"JIMIN LOOK OUT!"

And all he could do was watch....watch his boyfriend fall off a twelve meter stage.

3 hours earlier

"A concert? In the middle of fucking nowhere?" Taehyung complained as the group walked into the large open venue where thousands of people would be filling up in less than a few hours.

"BangPD thought it would be a good idea to distract the fans by doing a surprise concert, that way they'll hopefully forget about....y'know and everything will die down." Namjoon explained, leading the group backstage but looking emotionless.

Taehyung and Jimin walked behind him hand in hand, followed by Yoongi and Hoseok and lastly Jin trying to strike up a conversation with a depressed Jungkook who had literally hid half his face inside his hoodie.

"BTS! So glad you could make it, we're honored to have you preform here today." An elderly lady greeted the boys, smiling as they bowed in respect. "Thank you for having us." Jin grinned back, doing his best to act like the group was okay.

The lady seemed convinced, giving them a small wave as she walked away, letting them do their own thing and get ready.

"Cameras will be on us like the plague, I expect you all to pretend to be happier than the fucking sunshine." Namjoon whispered bitterly, before getting pulled away by one of the stylists.

Everyone gulped and nodded, not daring to make eye contact with eachother.

"We'll be performing four songs. First someone will open up with their solo song, followed by Save Me, Cypher Part 3, and at the end we'll all do a walk around performance for Bulletproof: The Eternal." Hoseok cleared his throat, addressing the group after making sure Namjoon was out of sight.

Jimin and Jungkook visibly cringed at their song 'Save Me', as it was one of the many songs that they both had a duo verse in and not just any duo verse, one with a lot of meaning behind it.

"Those songs are a bit random don't you think?" Yoongi pointed out after catching the youngests reactions. "Sejin hyung was the one who chose them, probably had good reason too." Hoseok replied, knowing their manager wasnt stupid and had purposely chose the most meaningful songs to the group, especially to the ones who were currently in an argument.

"We don't need to practice right, we basically know the choreo off by heart." Jin gazed at Hoseok. The younger was about to disagree when Namjoons words from last night flooded his thoughts.

"WHAT DO YOU EVEN FUCKING DO FOR THIS GROUP BESIDES BOSS US AROUND DURING THE CHOREOGRAPHY!"

"Um yeah I'm sure we'll be fine, just focus on memorizing the lyrics and getting ready." Hoseok mumbled, eyes slightly watering as he rushed towards the dressing rooms.

Taehyung and Yoongi followed after their boyfriend worriedly, leaving Jin alone with the maknaes.

"Soooooooo for the opening solo song, I was thinking you should do Serendipity, Chim." Jin's hopeful voice was a little obvious but he didn't care.

Jimin's eyes widened, as did Jungkook's as he shook his head quickly. "S-Sorry hyung I've forgotten most of the lyrics and anyways I think you performing Epiphany will really get the crowd into that calm and peaceful vibe." Jimin said, screaming internally at the flashbacks of that one word.

"Forgotten the lyrics to your favourite song? I doubt it Jimin." Jin knew he was pushing it now, but what else could he do to bring the couple back together?

"Just drop it hyung, he clearly doesn't want to sing the song he wrote about his boyfriend, whom he currently hates." The two turned to Jungkook as his eyes stayed glued to the ground.

Jimin's eyes softened but he still held onto the pain from the party, anyone could see that. "I don't hate you." Was the last thing he said before sighing and leaving without another word.

Jin patted Jungkook's back sympathetically. "See? I told you he doesn't hate you, all Jimin needs is a little space and when hes ready he'll allow you to make amends." Jungkook nodded hesitating, missing the way his boyfriend smiled, the kisses they shared, heck, he fucking missed everything.

"C'mon Kook-ah, let's go touch up those bags under your eyes." Jin joked sadly, taking the youngers hand and leading him to the stylists waiting patiently for them.

Jungkook's Pov

My hyungs and I sat together for the first time in a very long time, but we all knew it was just for the large camera in front of us.

Jin hyung sang  his heart out during Epiphany, making some of the Armys in the crowd silently cry. The camera was focused on Namjoon, of course since that was his boyfriend but also because the only time we ever would see him cry was when Jin hyung sang that song.

I think even the camera crew were surprised when he just watched without a single emotion on his face.

Hoseok hyung could be seen with his head down sitting next to him, Taehyung and Yoongi shooting the two worried looks from time to time. Then there was me and Jimin sitting together at the end of the couch, both of us pretending to be focused on the TV rather than eachother.

We had a separate camera on us, probably to see if there was still any tension between us.

Fun fact, there was.

"Boys you're performing 'Save Me' as soon as Jin is done, please take your places near the stage." Sejin hyung ordered nicely, except the usual smile on his face was replaced by a hopeful one.

"Thank you hyung, we'll get going." Namjoon forced himself to reply, bowing to the cameras with us mimicking his actions, as we all walked off to the back of the curtains.

"Don't worry guys, we got this! Let's make Army happy okay?" Taehyung clapped, taking over his boyfriends usual speech before we ever did a performance. Hoseok seemed grateful, not looking in the mood to even try and be cheerful anymore.

"Tae's right, just forget about everything that happened for one night. Our job is to make sure our Army enjoys the concert and stops worrying about us for once." Yoongi added. Jimin quietly scoffed next to me, making me sigh.

Like that's gonna happen.

"Thank you for coming Army! I hope you're having a good time so far!" We heard Jin hyung yell to the crowd. Army screamed back excitedly, but it was obvious we weren't the only ones pretending tonight.

They must be so scared, we hadn't even addressed anything that happened. I hope they don't think the band is splitting up...or that Jimin and I are.

I blinked, processing that thought over again.

Jimin and I...splitting up? Is that what's gonna happen? If he doesn't forgive me, eventually we'd have to break up right? We can't avoid one another forever.

"Jungkook? Hey snap out of it, we have a show to do." A voice next to me whispered. My teary eyes locked with Namjoon as the others made their way onto the dark stage, already taking their positions.

"H-Hyung am I gonna lose him?" I croaked. Namjoon's eyes softened and he brought me into a comforting embrace, almost making me cry for the third time today. "Kook-ah, I understand you're going through a lot right now and so is the whole group but trust me when I say you're not gonna lose Jimin. I've never seen two people more in love than you both, and I know someday soon this will all blow over and the Jikook couple will be back to how they always were. You trust your hyung right?"

I looked up and nodded, wiping my eyes. "I trust you hyung, more than anyone." I admitted. Our leader looked a little surprised before smiling gently, kissing the top of my forhead and almost making me laugh because this was the first time he has ever done something like that. It was usually Jin being the hella affectionate one.

"Now get out there golden maknae, I'm counting on you to make Army proud." Namjoon grinned.

I saluted playfully as we ran onto the stage, just as the lights started turning back on again.

I saw Jin give Namjoon a curious look, to which he just winked and that made me smile. The group all stood in a line at the back of the stage whilst Jimin was right up front, doing his solo for the song.

I want to breathe, I hate this night
I want to wake up, I hate this dream
I'm trapped inside of myself and I'm dead
Don't wanna be lonely
Just wanna be yours.

It felt like the whole world was staring at me as Jimin sang his part so beautifully, the pain perfectly heard in his tone. I swallowed thickly, taking slow steps towards him and grabbing onto his hand, which wasnt part of the choreo.

Why is it so dark when you're not here
It's dangerous how wrecked I am
Save me because I can't get a grip on myself.

Jimin shot me a broken look, shaking his head and pulling his hand out of my grasp weakly and continuing to do the performance. I bit my lip, nodding to Yoongi that I was okay when he raised his eyebrow at me from the sidelines.

This song was filled with every single inner thought we were all experiencing at the moment, and I think it was the last of Hoseok's facade when Namjoon began rapping his part.

Thank you for letting me be me
For helping me fly
For giving me wings
For straightening me out
For waking me from being suffocated
For waking me from a dream which was all I was living in
When I think of you the sun comes out
So I gave my sadness to the dog
Thank you, for being "us"

I know his heart broke when Namjoon directed his words straight at him, not even bothering to hide the pure hurt in his dull eyes, causing Hoseok to trip over Taehyung and the two to mess up the moves. It was the first time I had seen the lead dancer make a mistake.

We tried to keep our smiles up, we really did but oh was it hard.

Army didn't do the fanchant, they barely cheered, the silence was deafening even though the music was louder than my own voice. I was petrified, hoping to god that we wouldn't be receiving a Black Ocean for this.

That was the last thing any of us needed.

But when my eyes gazed to the crowd, Army bombs were raised higher than I had ever seen as if it was some sort of symbol that they still loved us and were supporting the group, even when they knew what was happening.

The song ended quickly, thankfully and we rushed backstage to cool off.

"Namjoon, I'm so sorry. I can't begin to express how sorry I am, please I'm begging you...don't let this ruin our friendship. I love you, I hate seeing you so upset because of something I did." Hoseok's pleading made us turn around and watch the exchange.

Namjoon appeared forgiving and gave him a small smile. "It's okay hyung, I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have been so harsh on the group. I'm a leader, not a dictator and even though you said it in a bad way, you were right." He explained. We gasped as Hoseok walked him on the back of the head, making him wince.

"Firstly go back to calling me Hobi, hyung is way too formal for us. And what I said about you being a bad leader was fucking bullshit, it was just my anger talking so don't let that stay in your IQ 147 brain okay?" Hoseok said firmly.

Namjoon laughed and they hugged, with Jin and Yoongi collapsing on the couch with equal relieved sighs. "And Taebear, I'm sorry you had to see me raise my voice like that. I promise next time I'll be more considerate."

Taehyung smiled happily, pecking Hoseok's lips and telling him not to worry about it.

It almost seemed like the group was back to normal, well if only Jimin would allow me to make amends.

Cypher Part 3 went by pretty fast and it was so nice to see my hyungs having fun on the stage, rapping their hearts out and finally getting the crowd to scream and cheer just like they always did. When it got to the last song of the night, the lights turned into a soft Lavender colour.

We all wore pastel clothing too since this song was the most meaningful one to the entire group. The lyrics, the movements, the energy, you could feel everything.

Just as we were nearing the end, all of us in tears when Army sang along with us, I could see Jimin acting weird and that instantly caused my worry to spike. My part for the Outro was coming up but I couldn't avert my eyes from the scene in front of me.

My heart stopped, my body frozen as I watched my boyfriend stumble towards the edge of the stage with his hand on his forehead, seeming in a lot of pain.

"JIMIN LOOK OUT!"

And all I could do was watch....watch my boyfriend fall off a twelve meter stage.

Yeah we are not seven, with you
