"Because she isn't supposed to be your girlfriend, genius! If you're the only one ever seen holding her hand, don't you think that's going to start looking suspicious?" Jimin widened his eyes at Tae, who finally looked like he understood, his features relaxing, and he sighed, reluctantly letting go of your hand, allowing Jimin to take it once again.

"Thanks Jiminie." Tae said quietly, looking apologetic.
"I can't believe you didn't realize what I was doing. Do you think I would try to steal y/n from you? You're my best friend Tae. You're happiness is important to me."
The elevator came to a stop, the doors opening to the rest of the guys waiting for the four of you. You all hurried, exiting out what appeared to be a back door, and there were two cars waiting right outside the door, two others a bit behind them that the rest of the people, staff you assumed, headed for.
You all climbed into your cars, and before you knew it, you were off, heading towards wherever they were to perform later. You were a bit overwhelmed. This is what their lives were like all the time, fast paced, and you guessed exciting, if you liked this sort of thing. You had a new-found respect for these guys, because they seemed to have it together, everything under control even in what seemed to you to be chaos.
Once in the car, Tae had sat next to you, Jungkook and Jimin across from you. Jimin pushed a button, and a window closed, separating the driver from the four of you, so that he couldn't hear your conversation.
"Tae, I hope you know that you don't have anything to worry about." Jimin leaned forward, his elbows on his knees. "Even if one of us were interested in y/n, we've all seen how she looks at you, and none of us stand a chance."
Your gaze lifted to Jimin's, and he smiled at you. You smiled back, and looked at your lap, which held your hand that was intertwined with Tae's. He squeezed your hand, and you side-glanced at him, to see a smile on his face.
You heard Jungkook laugh. "Tae, are you blushing?"
"Shut up Kookie..." he grumbled.
That only caused both Jungkook and Jimin to laugh, and Tae scowled at them, but seconds later he was fighting a smile.
A short time later, you felt the car coming to a stop, the doors opening so everyone could get out. Tae had let go of your hand, and this time, Jungkook had grabbed it, pulling you along so you didn't get lost in the mad shuffle. Before you knew it, you were all in a room with two couches. Jungkook plopped down on one, pulling you down next to him, and Tae quickly sat on the other side of you.
You listened to Namjoon as he talked to the guys, and there finally came a point where you had to go to your seat. Tae gave you the ticket Jimin had so graciously given him, and watched you go as a nice lady led you out of the room, and down a long hallway which exited into a very large auditorium. She gestured for your ticket, looking at it, and taking you to the correct seat, which happened to be one of the best seats you could have hoped for. It was front row, pretty close to the center of the stage. You couldn't have been more excited.
You were left alone, and you looked around, not even sure what time the show started. Your phone dinged, and you opened it.
Taehyung: 'We'll be out to do rehearsal and mic check soon. Tae'
You smiled, but were suddenly startled as people started moving around the stage, checking things. You saw cameras, and heard people yelling, but you couldn't understand a thing. The rest of the evening passed quicker then you expected. Groups came out that you didn't know, obviously, and did rehearsals. The last ones to do so were BTS, and you watched them rehearse with a smile so big your cheeks hurt.
Soon after, people started filling the seats, and finally, it was time for the show to start. You had never had so much fun. You didn't understand anything that was being said, but everyone that performed was so great, and you made a mental note to ask Tae who they all were, so you could look up their music.
Finally, BTS came out. They were not wearing what they had been wearing earlier, and holy fuck. Tae was wearing black leather pants and a black shirt, with a harness of some sort in white, and you couldn't take your eyes off of him. The screaming from the crowd was deafening. You sat there, pretty much in shock at the level of noise coming from everyone. They started to sing and dance, and the screaming quieted, but you noticed everyone singing loudly to certain parts of the song. It was an experience of a lifetime, that was the only way to describe it.
The reality of everything suddenly seemed to hit you as you sat there, watching them. Being in the middle of all these screaming people, you realized just how big these guys were. You watched them, proud, but suddenly terrified. Everything Taehyung had told you about possessive fans, was coming back to you. You were his girlfriend. You glanced around, and saw that there were girls holding up pickets with pictures of their faces on them, and banners with what you assumed to be their names. Someone had a big purple "V" that was actually lit up. There were a lot of girls holding pickets with his face on it.
You swallowed. If they knew you were his girlfriend, they could very well decide they hated you. They could threaten to cause you physical harm. Could you blame them? He was a dream come true.
He smiled at you, but quickly looked elsewhere, smiling at everyone. He was yours, and you wanted more than anything to shout it out loud, to let everyone know. But you couldn't. You wanted to tell the girl next to you holding his picket, screaming his name, that he belonged to you.
You smiled to yourself. It didn't matter that no one could know. In fact, maybe you liked the fact that it was a secret. You got to sit here, with all these screaming girls who could only look at him, and dream. But you, you got to leave with him, you got to feel his lips on yours, and his hands touching you. You got to hear him tell you he loved you, and see the raw emotion in his eyes. And they were none the wiser.
The song ended, and the screaming got louder again. You looked up, smiling widely at him. He was right in front of you. Each of them had grabbed a water bottle, and taken a drink from it, and to your surprise, they each came to the edge of the stage, handing their bottles to a random fan of their choice. Tae had walked a few steps from where you were sitting, looking into the crowd, but after taking a swig of his water, he turned and came right back to where you were, squatting down in front of you, and handing you his water bottle. He held your gaze for a few seconds before standing up and walking towards the center of the stage with the others.
The girl next to you was screaming and jumping up and down, and had said something in broken English that sounded like "you so lucky get V water bottle"...You smiled at her. If only she knew.
They had lined up center stage, and taken a bow, waving to the crowd, and thanking them, telling them they loved them, before heading off stage. They were the last act to perform, and people were starting to leave. You waited, for what seemed like forever, until everyone was gone. You sat there, unsure of what to do. You didn't know where to go, and you didn't want to get lost. Your phone dinged, and you opened it eagerly.
Taehyung: 'Don't move, I'll be out to get you in a few minutes. Tae'
You breathed a sigh of relief, and relaxed in your seat. A few minutes later, you saw him jogging toward you, and you stood up, watching him. He was still wearing the outfit he'd performed in, and you swallowed, your throat suddenly feeling dry.
"Come on y/n, the guys are all ready to leave, especially Yoongi. He said it's past his bedtime, and he needs his beauty sleep." He smiled at you, but you were still staring at his outfit, trying to moisten your dry mouth. "Are you okay?" He raised his eyebrows at you.
You shook your head. "Are y...you wearing that all the way b...back to the dorm? Cause if you are, I think I should ride in the other c...car."
He chuckled. "Ya like this, huh? I am wearing it back, and why would you want to ride in the other car? You know the others all still have their stage outfits on too, right?"
You closed your eyes, mentally groaning. "I'm not worried about anyone else. You're the only one making it difficult to breath."
"Oh...well if you like it that much, maybe I'll leave it on all night." He smirked at you, and you rolled your eyes at him.
"Come on, lets go." He grabbed your hand, and led you back the way he'd come. A few minutes later you were back in the car, heading back to the agency. Once there, everyone got out, and made their way back inside, eventually ending up back in the room they'd started in.
