Work Text:
it's not unusual to find yoongi hidden away in the studio at 1:37 am on a thursday, and today is no different. jeongguk easily locates him working on some tracks for their next album and takes a seat, patiently waiting for yoongi to finish up.
"hey, jeongguk," yoongi turns around and rubs at his eyes tiredly, "what are you doing up so late?"
"not much. i, uh.. was wondering if i could get some feedback on my singing. it's this english song that's been stuck in my head. i don't know if, like, my voice is right for it or-"
"go for it, kid," yoongi interrupts jeongguk from rambling any further with a smirk on his lips, pulling his headphones off completely and giving his full attention.
"okay, cool. uh, here goes!
i'm hurting, baby, i'm broken down
i need your loving, loving
i need it now
when i'm without you
i'm something weak
you got me begging, begging
i'm on my knees
i don't wanna be needing your love
i just wanna be deep in your love
and it's killing me when you're away
'cause i really don't care where you are
i just wanna be there where you are
and i gotta get one little taste
sugar
yes, please
won't you come and put it down on me?
i'm right here, 'cause I need
little love and little sympathy"
yoongi vaguely recognizes the song, has definitely heard it a couple of times on an american radio station. he doesn't quite understand all of the lyrics, but is so caught up listening to jeongguk that he doesn't really give it a second thought. he gives jeongguk a small smile and claps, genuinely impressed with the vocal range.
"that was really good, man. i swear your voice gets better and better every day."
jeongguk blushes slightly and looks at his feet, "thank you. anyways, i think i'm gonna head back to the dorm and sleep. maybe soon we could.. record a cover of that song, add in a rap part for you somewhere?"
"yeah, i'd really like that. now go to bed, brat!"
they laugh for a moment before jeongguk takes his leave and lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding. he's glad that had gone well, hoping that his message eventually makes it to yoongi.
it's a week later when yoongi finds jeongguk laying in bed, immersed in one of his phone games, and promptly slams a pillow onto the younger's face.
"what the fuck!" jeongguk scrambles to gather his bearings and looks up to see yoongi, arms crossed and an indecipherable look on his face, "what was that about?"
"as if you fucking serenaded me, you dweeb," yoongi throws his head back and laughs, "so, one little taste, huh?"
jeongguk swears it gets at least 20 degrees hotter in his room when yoongi leans down and stares directly into his eyes for what seems like hours. he gulps audibly and is about to close his eyes for what he assumes is going to be the steamiest kiss of his life, when yoongi pecks his cheek and pulls back.
"you're unbelievably adorable," is all yoongi says before leaving.
and if jeongguk's jaw drops before he runs to get a little more sugar, he doesn't tell anyone.
