"Take the jacket off! I'll deal with the repercussions, if you over heat again you'll pass out! Take it off and give it to me, your shirt alone will be fine it still matches" you step back and hold your hand out waiting for him to pass you his jacket once he's removed it.

The minute he hands it even close to you, you basically rip it out of his hands and clutch it tight; "thank you, is that better?"

He nods but stays silent and barely looks at you.

"Jungkook?" You step ever closer giving a careful glance around to see if anyone else is in the corridor, there's no one else so it's safe, you take a breath and move another step forward and then pull him into a hug, all sense gone to the wind, "you're gunna do great Kook, you always do, and I'll be right here backstage for if anything happens, which it won't, but if it did, I promise I'll be here" you say quietly and you feel him hug you back, it makes your heart skip a beat the way he clings to you.

He's going to be okay.

"You promise?" He whispers close to your ear and it makes you want to melt.

"I promise, now do what Jungkook does best and go kick ass on that stage because it's the last performance and I want you to enjoy it not worry all the way through it, if you feel faint at any point calm down take a deep breath and just don't go as hard with the dancing yeah? And if you have to, stuff the crowd and the cameras, your health is more important to us all, so use the signal for the medic if you need to, you hear me?"

"Yeah"

"GUYS!..." Beom comes bounding round the corner just as you've pulled away from Jungkook and the hug, thankfully no evidence of a hug anywhere in sight, "... are you ready Jungkook?"

"Yes Beom"

You look at Jungkook, "go.."

You watch as Jungkook and Beom start to walk away and then look down at Jungkook's jacket in your arms, it smells of him, you can smell him everywhere, he was so warm the jacket has a warmth of its own.

You trudge back down the corridor and find yourself backstage as Sung Jin is flapping about something, you stay away not wanting to get involved until he looks over at you and then to the jacket draped over your arm; "you have it?"

You panic, "have what sir?"

"Why the fuck isn't Jungkook wearing his jacket? Why the fuck is it over your arm and not on that stage on his body!"

"Sir, if you'd have just seen Jungkook before, he was panicking, sir he isn't one hundred percent, I can assure you he's okay but he's not right and he's not himself, I just had to calm him down and in the process I noticed that like last night he was boiling hot, he told me yesterday that he was too hot and maybe that's one of the causes as to why he fainted last night so I thought better to have him a cooler temperature than sweat to death in his jacket and faint live on air, because sir he is rather exhausted and very disappointed in himself." You know your voice was strong to get the point across but your face was full of fear.

"Thank you for telling me the truth Y/N! But honestly it should've been discussed with me first, though, if it made him feel better about the performance... did it? How was he once he removed the jacket?"

"He seemed a little better, I guess, I mean... he started to cool off so.." you trail your voice away and Sung Jin just nods at you.

You both take a moment to look at the screen playing the performance from stage, then he glances back at you.

"I'll see you later at the hotel perhaps or before the trip home Y/N, I am very grateful for your assistance with the guys, I know they're grateful too. I'm glad you wanted this job, I am excited for the future with you!" He nods again and leaves you alone backstage as he goes to finalise business and paperwork with the tv company.

You sigh but then turn your head back to the small screen showing the guy's performance on stage, they look amazing, their effort is unbelievable, when the camera pans onto Jungkook you instinctively give his jacket in your arms a squeeze as if to hug him from backstage, you smell him again and want nothing more than to nuzzle into the jacket and give it a warm hug, but your thoughts are interrupted with Beom.

"Y/N?"

"Hey Beom"

"So, what's going on?" He quizzes and you're confused.

"Going on?"

"You and Jungkook? What happened before?"

Your heart sinks and your grip on Jungkook's jacket loosens; "he was panicking Beom, I think maybe a doctor should've given him a once over last night but, he insisted otherwise, he was over heating like last night, I just had to calm him down somehow, so I just talked to him, told him he'll be okay..." you shrug your shoulders not really knowing what else he wants you to tell him.

You've told him the truth, well, nearly, you did just erase the section where you hugged Jungkook but still.

"So why do you have his jacket? Sung Jin was going ballistic you know..."

"I know I just spoke to him but now he understands, it was for the best; would you want Jungkook collapsing again just because he's too hot in a jacket? Beom, Jungkook would be so heartbroken if he passes out again, he took it hard you know"

"Yeah he does, always has done, I guess you're right, hey, maybe you were what the guys needed all along.. Sung Jin might have been right too..."

You glance at Beom, "what do you mean?"

"He said after he hired you that maybe a gentle female touch might work miracles because the last one well, she was a bit of a bitch, total opposite to you" he giggles.

"Thanks."

You both stand in silence as the band finish up their performance and you're both glad to see Jungkook still standing and looking some what okay.
