Chapter Text
The staff were busy, the members were half-asleep, and everything was peaceful.
Until...
"HYUNG. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
Jimin’s SCREAM echoed through the room.
The staff turned their heads.
The members stopped what they were doing.
And there, sitting in the makeup chair like a smug princess, was Kim Seokjin.
With a giant, angry looking hickey on his neck!
The HMUA team sighed in unison.
One makeup artist muttered, "Not again."
Jungkook?
That little MENACE was across the room, whistling innocently while pretending to check his phone.
Jin, looking way too pleased with himself, adjusted his collar like he wasn’t covered in evidence.
"Oh? This?" Jin pointed at his neck. "It’s nothing."
Jimin: NOTHING?! HYUNG, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT ATTACKED!
Taehyung, trying to hold in his laughter, "Bro, did a vacuum cleaner do that?"
Yoongi, barely looking up, "I don't get paid enough for this."
The HMUA team?
Absolutely done.
"Jungkook, you’re giving us extra work." One of them sighed.
Jungkook, still acting innocent: "Me? I did nothing."
Hobi: Oh, SHUT UP, YOU LITTLE GREMLIN. WE ALL KNOW IT WAS YOU.
Jungkook finally smirked, eyes twinkling with mischief.
"Hyung is just too irresistible. What can I do?"
Jin GIGGLED. THIS TRAITOR.
"It's true. My Jungkookie loves me too much."
"SEOKJIN-SSI, PLEASE." THE STAFF BEGGED.
As the HMUA team frantically covered up the evidence, Jungkook sat on the couch, watching like a proud boyfriend.
Jimin: Do you have NO shame?
Jungkook: Nope. None.
Taehyung: You’re literally grinning like a highschooler who got away with skipping class.
Jungkook: Well, technically, I got away with something... but it wasn’t skipping class.
Jin, laughing way too hard, almost made the makeup artist drop the brush.
Hobi: STOP ENCOURAGING HIM!
Yoongi, scrolling on his phone: Next time, just put a sign on hyungie’s neck saying ‘Property of Jeon Jungkook.’
Jungkook: Oh, I should, shouldn’t I?
Jin, winking at Jungkook: Wouldn’t mind.
The members: GROSS. ENOUGH. STOP.
The HMUA team?
Praying for strength.
Later that night—
Jin was fixing his hair in the mirror when Jungkook suddenly wrapped his arms around him from behind.
"Hyuuuuung~" Jungkook whined, nuzzling into his shoulder.
Jin, already knowing where this was going, "Jungkook. No."
Jungkook: But whyyyyy?~
Jin: Because I refuse to let the makeup team suffer again tomorrow.
Jungkook, pouting like a kicked puppy: But hyung, I love youuuu.~
Jin, turning around: And I love you too, but if you don’t behave, I’ll sleep in the other room.
Jungkook: You wouldn’t dare.
Jin, smirking: Try me.
Jungkook, dramatic AF: HYUNG, YOU’RE SO MEAN!
Jin: I'm doing this for the makeup team.
Jungkook: I THOUGHT LOVE HAD NO LIMITS!
Jin, giggling: Go to sleep, you menace.
Jungkook, hugging him tighter: Fine. But no promises for tomorrow!
Jin: JEON JUNGKOOK!
Next day—
The members walked into the dressing room, expecting a peaceful morning.
But then...
"OH COME ON!"
Jimin’s scream echoed AGAIN.
The HMUA team looked up in fear.
And there was Jin...
With ANOTHER HICKEY.
Jungkook?
SMIRKING.
Jin?
LOOKING TOO SATISFIED.
The members?
DONE WITH THESE TWO.
The HMUA team?
ON THE VERGE OF QUITTING.
Namjoon, rubbing his temples: I give up.
Yoongi: Where's my coffee?
Jimin, shaking Jin: HYUNG. CONTROL YOUR BOYFRIEND!
Jin, giggling: He’s just affectionate.
Jungkook, grinning: What can I say? My hyung is too pretty.
The HMUA team: We are SO underpaid for this.
BTS was KILLING IT on stage. The lights, the energy, the screaming fans—everything was perfect.
Except for one little problem.
In the green room, the staff was watching the live performance on a big screen. Everyone was vibing, nodding along to the beat... until...
A collective gasp filled the room.
One of the makeup artists, who had spent an hour covering up the evidence, suddenly screamed.
"NOOOOOOO!"
Another staff member dropped their clipboard.
A manager facepalmed.
A stylist whispered in horror, "It’s back."
Because there, on the screen, under the hot stage lights...
KIM SEOKJIN’S HICKEY WAS SHINING IN HIGH DEFINITION.
THE MAKEUP WAS GONE.
The entire world could see it now!
After their first song ended, Taehyung walked up to Jin casually while pretending to fix his in-ear monitor.
Then he leaned in and whispered:
"Hyung… your little ‘love bite’ is showing."
Jin: ……………
Jin: MY WHAT?!
Taehyung: Your hickey. The one from your super clingy, obsessed, baby muscle bunny boyfriend.
Jin: OH MY GOSH.
Panic set in.
Not because he was shy.
Not because he was embarrassed.
BUT BECAUSE THE WORLD STILL DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP.
Jin immediately buttoned up his polo, trying to cover his neck.
Taehyung?
CACKLING.
"It’s too late, hyung. ARMYs already saw it."
Jin: NO NO NO NO—
MEANWHILE, ON TWITTER—
💥 #WHO_BITJIN (TRENDING #1 WORLDWIDE)
💥 #JinsHickeyMystery (TRENDING #3)
💥 #JungkookControlYourself (TRENDING #6)
ARMYs were LOSING THEIR MINDS!
🟣 @ARMY_Detectives: "GUYS. GUYS. LOOK AT JIN’S NECK. IS THAT... A HICKEY??? 👀👀👀👀"
🟣 @KookieSimp: "JEON JUNGKOOK WHAT DID YOU DO TO OUR WORLDWIDE HANDSOME?! 😭🔥"

🟣 @OT7_Crackheads:"The HMUA team is probably crying in the green room right now. 💀💀💀"
Jin RAN BACKSTAGE the moment the performance ended.
Jungkook, following behind him, was grinning like the little devil he was.
"Hyung, what’s wrong?" he asked innocently.
Jin turned around so fast he almost tripped.
"YOU! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"
Jungkook: What? What did I do?
Jin: LOOK AT MY NECK, YOU MENACE!
Jungkook leaned in, pretending to inspect it.
"Hmmm... yeah. That’s definitely my work."
Jin: I CAN’T STAND YOU.
Jungkook: You seemed to like it last night tho—
Jin: JEON JUNGKOOK, SHUT UP!
Jimin and Taehyung? CACKLING.
Namjoon? Rubbing his temples.
Hobi? Too entertained.
Yoongi? Drinking his iced coffee like he’s watching a K-drama.
A manager walked in, holding up a phone.
"Jin. Jungkook. We have a problem."
Jin: WHAT NOW?!
The manager sighed and showed them Twitter.
Jungkook squinted at the screen.
Then he bursted out laughing.
"HYUNG, LOOK! HASHTAG ‘WHO BIT JIN’ IS TRENDING NUMBER ONE WORLDWIDE."
Jin: I AM GOING TO PASS AWAY!
The next day, during their weverse live...
Jimin: So, hyung. Who bit you?
Jin: I— WHAT— WHO— HUH?!
Hobi: Yeah, hyung. We all saw it.
Yoongi: I don’t care, but I just wanna see you suffer.
Jungkook?
SITTING THERE LIKE A PROUD BOYFRIEND, WATCHING HIS HYUNG PANIC.
Jin: I—It was a mosquito.
Taehyung: A mosquito, huh? Must be a really strong one to leave a mark that big.
Jimin: And in the shape of someone’s lips?
ARMYs in the live chat:
🟣 "THEY’RE TEASING HIM! OMG!"
🟣 "JUNGKOOK SAY SOMETHING."
🟣 "Mosquito?? SURE JIN, WE BELIEVE YOU."
🟣 "Y’all, the staff is probably done with them at this point."
Jungkook, leaning into the camera:
"I think... he is delicious."
Jin, ENDED THE LIVE.
The members?
HOWLING WITH LAUGHTER.
ARMYs?
BREAKING THE INTERNET.
The HMUA team?
Applying for new jobs.
Twitter was still ON FIRE from the #WhoBitJin scandal.
But nobody could confirm who the culprit was.
ARMYs had theories. A LOT of theories.
🟣 @ARMY_Investigator: "OKAY, LISTEN. Jin had a hickey on his neck. But who gave it to him? Let’s break this down logically."
🟣 @JinKook_4Life: "IT’S JUNGKOOK. IT’S OBVIOUS. WHO ELSE?!"
🟣 @BTS_ConspiracyTheorist: "I’m not convinced yet. We need MORE EVIDENCE. 🤨"
And so... the digging began.
ARMYs pulled out receipts faster than an IRS audit.
💥 Clue #1: Jungkook and Jin were inseparable.
- Everytime they were in public, Jungkook was glued to Jin’s side.
- Jin stopped overreacting when Jungkook touched him. (SUSPICIOUS.)
- Jungkook always looked like a lovesick puppy around Jin.
💥 Clue #2: Jungkook’s suspicious reaction.
- When Jin’s hickey went viral, Jungkook SMIRKED in the wewerse live.
- ARMYs: "THAT'S THE SMIRK OF A GUILTY MAN."
💥 Clue #3: The other members were TOO entertained.
- Every time someone mentioned the hickey, they giggled.
- Yoongi? Too unbothered. (Which means he knows the truth.)
- Jimin? Looking like he’s about to explode from keeping secrets.
- Taehyung? DEAD FROM LAUGHING.
- Namjoon? Done with life.
ARMYs connected the dots.
Conclusion?
THEY WERE 99% SURE JUNGKOOK WAS THE CULPRIT.
But they needed more proof!
ARMYs took their investigation to the next level.
They went through old Bangtan Bombs.
They analyzed live streams.
They replayed interviews in slow motion.
AND THEN...
SOMEONE FOUND THE FINAL CLUE.
🟣 @JKsLostTshirt: "GUYS. REMEMBER THE WEVERSE LIVE FROM LAST WEEK?!"
A CLIP SURFACED.
Jin was sitting in the background.
Jungkook walked past him...
AND THEN—
Jin FLINCHED when Jungkook whispered something in his ear.
🟣 @DetectiveMochi: "WHAT DID HE SAY?? LOOK AT JIN’S FACE!!!"
ARMYs enhanced the audio.
They slowed it down.
They turned into CSI agents.
AND THEN THEY HEARD IT.
Jungkook’s low, teasing voice:
"Hyung, should I leave another one tonight?"
ARMYs: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Twitter BURNED TO THE GROUND.
💥 #JinKookConfirmed (TRENDING #1 WORLDWIDE)
