231210 - namjoon on weverse:
"Hello, my dear friends, that day has finally come. I feel like I have so many things to say that have been floating around in my head, but now that I'm here, I can't get them out of my mouth. I was so happy to be able to live as a member of BTS for the past ten years. I've been saying this all along, but the end is just another beginning! I have no doubt that something good will be waiting for us once we pass. Seokjin and Hoseok, who had to endure this time first, must have had a much harder time than us who followed behind. Seeing them doing so bravely and so well, even though it is late, gives me greater courage. I believe that this 18 months, which may be long or short, will be a time of unfamiliar and new inspiration and learning for all of us. It can be scary and scary, but is there anything more comforting than knowing that you have something to look forward to and look forward to during that vague time? It may be my job, but it's probably your love. Being someone who can be remembered and waited for by others may be lonely and lonely at times, but I feel like I am already filled with that love. I hope I can be that kind of person to you. Our time, love, and sincerity tell us about our future more than countless words that linger in our ears. I always wanted to be the person who was by your side even when you were not by my side. I hoped that we would live each of our lives hard in our own places, and when we come back, we would be smiling brightly and being more informal, filled with heart and soul. Hello and hello for a while! When I return, I'll say hello again so that we can be ourselves wherever and whenever we are! See you in the future. I love you so much. Hoping to reach you even a little - Namjoon" (trans. cr. mhereonlyforbts)

BTS Dating Series #16: Nicknames
Members x Reader
Genre/Rate: 18+, fluff
Summary: Nicknames are an endearing sign of growing affection.
Warnings:n Some suggestive making out in Yoongi's part and just general suggestiveness in Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook's parts.
Kim Seokjin
Tumblr media
The two of you were at Jin's apartment, moving around each other in the kitchen as you worked on preparing dinner.
"Hey Jinnie?" You called out to him. "How much gochujang am I supposed to put in here?"
"Hmm," Jin muttered as he stepped over to you, wrapping his arms around your waist from behind and hooking his chin over your shoulder. "I'm not entirely sure, jagi. This is Yoongi-yah's recipe and I doubt he'll answer the phone if I call because he's had his head stuck so far up his girlfriend's ass these days."
"First off, don't make fun of him," you huffed. "He really likes her and you need to be a supportive hung."
"Of course," Jin nodded dutifully.
"And secondly," you murmured as you turned around in his arms to face him. "Jagi? Why'd you call me that?"
"Well, it just felt natural," he shrugged. "Besides, you are my sweetheart. Do you not like it?"
"No," you smiled as you felt your cheeks warm up a little. "It's fine." You turned around without another word then and Jin smiled knowingly to himself, tightening his arms around you before pressing a kiss to your head.
Min Yoongi
Tumblr media
"Fuck, I missed you so much," you murmured against Yoongi's lips as the two of you made out messily. After not being able to spend much time together over the last week, the two of you were eager to make up for lost time.
"I missed you more baby," Young replied huskily. "My pretty girl."
"Don't make me feel all lovey-dovey," you giggled. "It takes the lust away from this."
"Why not have both?" He suggested with a smirk, kissing you again before you even got a chance to respond. It didn't take long for your hands to start wondering and Yoongi's resolve broke when you reached down into his boxers.
"Fuck, come here Min," he huffed, quickly clutching your waist and changing your positions so that you were on your back on his bed, underneath him.
"Wait, what did you just call me?" You questioned breathlessly. "Min?"
"Shit, I didn't mean to say that aloud," Yoongi sighed.
"So you didn't mean it?"
"No, I did but I don't wanna freak you out."
"Why'd you call me that?" You pressed.
"It just...you feel like family to me already," he admitted with a sheepish shrug. "Like, like you're mines."
"Oh baby," you whispered, reaching up and cupping his cheek with your hand. "I am."
"Yeah?" Yoongi whispered as he lowered himself so that his face was near yours. "Say it again."
"I'm yours," you mumbled before kissing him firmly.
Kim Namjoon
Tumblr media
"Oh my gosh," you giggled loudly from your place sitting across from Namjoon, instantly covering up your mouth so that you didn't disturb the other people who were dining around you. "You're too much. Why would you tell me about Jin eating that hot Chile in front of all these people?"
"Because I knew it'd make you laugh and I love seeing your smile," Namjoon admitted, making your cheeks warm up. "I feel like I haven't seen much of your smile these days."
"We've both been working," you shrugged, reaching out and picking up your wine glass. "I've missed you but I kind of like that we each have our own things going on, you know?"
"Trust me, I get it," he nodded in agreement. "And I missed you too." Just as you went to respond, you heard a buzzing noise and you realized that it was Namjoon's phone once he reached into his pocket. After looking at the screen, Namjoon looked back up at you with a sorry expression.
"If it's work, go ahead and answer it if you have to," you gave him permission. "I don't mind."
"You sure?"
"Positive," you smiled as you took a sip of your red wine. Namjoon answered the phone then, speaking in hushed tones since the two of you were in the middle of a restaurant.
"I'll look over the song as soon as I'm able to, Hob-ah but I can't now because I'm out with my girl," Namjoon murmured. "I'll call you later, ok? Ok." He hung up the phone then, smiling at you. "You ok?"
"More than ok," you nodded, your mind repeating the words 'My Girl' over and over again.
Jung Hoseok
Tumblr media
"Hey baby, where are you?" You called out as you walked into Hobi's apartment, fresh from your workout and ready to see your boyfriend.
"In here!" He shouted from the living room and you walked that way, laughing when you saw Hobi's body strewn over the couch.
"And just how long have you been in this position?" You wondered as you walked over to him, sitting down next to his feet.
"About 10 hours and it's been amazing," he sighed dreamily. "How was work? And your workout?"
"Both good, productive," you shrugged.
"Enough to put you in a good mood?"
"I guess so," you shrugged.
"So much so that you called me baby," Hobi smirked, wiggling his eyebrows at you.
"Is that weird?"
"Yes, coming from you," Hobi nodded. "Anything that you wanna talk to me about?"
"No," you shook your head. "I just, you always call me cute nicknames so I wanted to do the same for you."
"Well, I appreciate the gesture baby but I don't need a nickname to know how much you love me," Hobi reassured you.
"Alright, regular old Hobi it is then," you joked, making Hobi roll his eyes as you leaned over to press a kiss to his lips.
Park Jimin
Tumblr media
"Jimin-ssi!" You shouted over the loud music that Jimin had blaring throughout your apartment, which was quickly becoming his as well these days. "What do you want for lunch?"
"What?!" He shouted back.
"Turn the music down and maybe you'll be able to hear!" You giggled and Jimin followed your suggestion, turning the Bangtan song down before walking into the kitchen and wrapping his arms around your waist.
"Sorry baby," he murmured. "Repeat yourself for me?"
"I said, Jimin-ssi, what do you want for lunch?"
"Anything you make is fine, I'm not picky as long as you're cooking it," he shrugged. "Let me ask you a question though."
"What's up?"
"Why do you still call me Jimin-ssi?" He wondered. "I mean, we're long past strangers now, right?"
"Right but it just became a habit and honestly, I kind of like it," you smiled, glancing at him over your shoulder. "It's like our own little thing, you know?"
"I do know," Jimin nodded. "I like having us having a little thing."
"Oh, no you don't," you shook your head when Jimin began leaving open mouthed kisses on your neck. "I'm hungry!"
"So am I," he shrugged, making you laugh out loud as he continued to kiss you.
Kim Taehyung
Tumblr media
"Mmm," Taehyung moaned deeply as he pressed a firm kiss to your lips. "I love you."
"I love you too," you murmured back against his lips, receiving two quick presses of his lips to yours before he pulled away and moved his body so that he was now laying next to you instead of on top of you the way he had been. Needless to say, the two of you had enjoyed a slow morning and Taehyung had decided to give you an amazing wake up call.
"My gorgeous girl," he whispered as he intertwined one of your hands with his, leaning over and continuing to press open mouthed kisses over any piece of your skin that he could reach. "My love, my joy."
"Your joy?" You echoed, looking up at him through your eyelashes.
"Yeah," he nodded. "You make me so happy, happier than I ever thought I could be with another person. Even if we're upset with each other, it still makes me happy to see you or talk to you. That's why it feels right to call you that."
"Tae," you huffed, closing your eyes once you felt the tears welling up in them.
"Aww baby," Taehyung chuckled fondly, opening his arms and allowing you to burrow into his side before he pressed a soft kiss to your head.
Jeon Jungkook
Tumblr media
You rushed over to your front door once you heard the knocking, a wide smile on your face as you unlocked it and yanked it open.
"Hi baby," Jungkook grinned.
"Kook!" You squealed, rushing forward and literally jumping onto him. He caught you with a huff, laughing afterwards as you hugged him tightly. "I missed you so much!"
"I've only been gone for a week," he pointed out and you looked down at him.
"If you didn't miss me, just say that," you rolled your eyes.
"Of course I did," he smirked, making you suck your teeth before you kissed him passionately. Once the two of you had properly greeted each other, he set you down and you pulled him into your apartment before you shut the door behind him. "Hey, did you call me Kook when you opened the door?"
"Uh, yeah?" You shrugged with a laugh. "Is that not a nickname of yours?"
"It is, you've just never used it before," Jungkook replied. "I like how it sounds coming from you."
"Yeah? Well, if you want, I'll say it over and over again," you purred. "That is, if you can make me."
"That week I was gone must've dulled your memory when it comes to what I can do to you," he smirked. "Go get on the bed."
"Yes Sir," you winked, yelping when Jungkook reached down and smacked your ass.

HIS PUP
Tumblr media
NAMJOON X READER HYBRID AU
CHAPTER 6 (3.6k words)
For more information about this story, find it here
Another update! It'd been so long since I last wrote for this story, but I'm enjoying it so much again 🥹
Another two weeks go by after my new life with Namjoon as a full-fledged hybrid truly begins, and I’ve noticed that he seems to have taken a liking to spending time with my human form more than with my animal one.
He never asks for one more than the other, leaving the decision to however it is that I feel at that moment, and he never makes me feel less loved when I’m one rather than the other, but the imperceptible change has slowly began to pierce through to the surface so that I can observe it.
Whenever I’m in my dog form, he treats me sweetly, he cuddles and kisses my head a lot, he tries to play with me as one would with an animal, but when I’m human, his attention feels different, his touches… lingering, warm, tender.
The way he stares at me is different too, and it’s confusing me a little.
He has gone into his secret room only once since he took a break from work, and he walked out looking rather satisfied with himself, only to then give me more cuddles on the couch with me tucked against his chest and between his arms, his lips pressed against my head with a pleased hum.
He would’ve moved a leg around mine if he’d dared, I’m almost a hundred percent sure of that. He wasn’t so good with cuddles when he first brought me here, but now he’s getting more confident in getting what he needs and it’s nice to see.
Bed cuddles are great, but for some reason, it’s the couch cuddles that have gained my heart with him.
There’s very little space on the leather furniture so we don’t have any choice but to be pressed tightly together to fit in at the same time, and I adore when he holds me like that. It makes me feel safe, loved, like I am his most precious possession.
Yeah, cuddles with Namjoon really are the best.
“You’re lost in thoughts, sweetie” Namjoon says, effectively pulling me out of my daydreaming about cuddles, and I drop my head backwards onto his lap from where I’m sat on the floor between his legs, my hair spread out all over him as I stare at him from upside down.
“What were you thinking about?” he asks softly, a hand caressing one of my ears and melting my heart with how gentle he is.
I have to say that he’s gotten very skillful with massaging them, and I could be left under the spell of his care all day long if I didn’t care for the state of his fingers.
“About you” I answer honestly, and to that he pauses momentarily, eyes round with surprise before he resumes the massage with a passive face that does not hide much from my animal senses, for I hear the way that his heart beats faster.
Hm. Interesting.
“Yeah? About me, sweetie?” he continues, but his voice has gained a slight shakiness to it, like he’s anxious to know more. He’s not discreet in his intentions at all, it makes my tail thump against his feet with a consistent sound.
“Always about you. I noticed that you treat me differently when I’m shifted” I tell him, and again, he pauses as a stutter attacks his heart, cheeks warming up but eyes looking more fearful than a second ago.
“In a bad way?”.
I shake my head. “No, I like it. I just wonder what this change means for you, is all”.
Can I allow my heart to hope that this can mean something more? That’s what I want to know. I want to know if I can openly love him, or if I need to swallow down my feelings.
I don’t want to scare or make him get distant with me by doing too much, I would do anything in my power to make sure he’s always comfortable in my presence, so that starts with knowing what he wants from me.
Namjoon swallows thickly, but doesn’t answer.
He runs his fingers through my hair, then back to my ears where he combs the red fur softly, more careful now after I told him to not leave any knots behind, that they can be hard to get rid of once they’re left alone for too long.
“It means that I like you a lot” he eventually murmurs, and I hum before closing my eyes.
He likes me… the way an owner likes their pet?
“I like you a lot too, Namjoon” I utter back with an achy heart, but he seems to catch on to the disappointment that hides in my tone because he shakes his head, hands cupping my cheeks before he leans down until his eyes are looming over my own and staring back at me.
“Not that way. Not because you’re a dog I adopted, but because you’re Y/N, my sweet girl. I like when you’re a pup, don’t get me wrong, but I like when I get to hold you in my arms like this. When I get to touch you, when I get to admire you as you just… exist. I like both sides of you, but in different ways”.
I stare at him with stars in my eyes, ears fluttering at his confession, and my tail bounces onto the floor with even more energy than earlier. He likes me?
“Then… does that mean I can love you? Can I show my feelings without being scared that you’ll hate me for it?” I ask him in a breathless hush, and his eyes crinkle at the sides before he nods softly, a kiss onto my forehead before he pulls back slightly.
“Anything you want to give, sweetie, I will take gladly. I shall too give what I can, if you would have me?”.
I slip my hands over his own to keep them on my face, and I lean into his touch with a relief that makes me crave more of his warmth, because he accepted my love, he gave me permission to love him.
“You don’t have to push yourself, Namjoon. Letting me love you is enough” I muse, nose rubbing against his wrist to lather more of my scent over his skin, not that he’s ever without vanilla since we spend so much time together nowadays.
I don’t want him to feel like he needs to love me just because I love him, and I’m fine with him never making it there too.
I know that Jin believes I’m too gullible and naive to differentiate friendship from romantic love, and maybe he’s right, but I don’t care. If his way of loving me is through friendship, then I’ll make sure to never expect more from him.
I’ll do all the loving on my own, until I die.
“I’m not pushing myself” I hear him defend his position as his brows furrow the slightest bit, and I meet his gaze again with a head tilt. What does he mean by that?
He sighs softly at the sight, eyes searching in his mind to find a way to help me understand what he meant in an efficient way.
“I… I want to learn to like you into love, and then love you into adoration, always stronger than yesterday. I can feel it happening already, so I’m not pushing myself. I just want to know that you’re alright with me reaching that point with you, because once I make it to love, I won’t ever be able to let go of you. I already can’t”.
I blink slowly, not having expected that at all. He wants to learn to love me… the same way that I love him?
Does he even know what it is that he’s telling me by saying those words? How hurtful they can be if taken too lightly? How many hybrids get to hear that from their owners? How many were lied to when told those very same words?
Part of me wants to believe that he doesn’t know, doesn’t realize, but the other knows that Namjoon doesn’t say things like this without thinking deeply about it first. He wouldn’t say that unless he’s given it a lot of thought already.
Still, I have to wonder if he knows the extent of that promise, because he’s a human, and humans don’t love like hybrids do.
He’s promising me the love of a mate, he’s promising me eternal love, something that can never die once it’s taken roots. If his love gets too strong, its tendrils will intertwine with my own to link us together not only in hearts but in souls.
Breaking that bond… would not only sever this link, but it would also rip me apart and most likely kill me. I don’t know if even Jin knows about that, or what he would do if he did know about the dangers of such a bond.
The world would be terrified if that were globally known.
“Talk to me, sweetie, am I being too much? Am I going over a boundary that I don’t know of?”.
I sit up straight and out of Namjoon’s gentle hold before turning around so I can stare at him face to face, and the obvious worry over his face shows me that he wants to do this right, and because of that, he deserves to know the truth.
It would be selfish of me to not let him know, and it would also be irresponsible.
“You don’t know a lot about hybrids, so it’s okay, Namjoon. I just… you need to know about the impacts of such a strong love before… and if we make it there” I speak softly, teeth biting on my lips as I do.
It feels so weird to say… it’s not something hybrids need to talk about between ourselves, and I don’t know if it’s ever been talked about with a human before. I doubt it.
“Oh god… I did do something bad, didn’t I? Is it something I said?” he says with a frown, heart rate going up in speed as he starts to think back to every words he told me, eyes frantic as he searches my own for an answer that could put an end to his growing nerves.
“No, no it’s not that. Not quite” I assure him, though it does nothing to ease him. He keeps his gaze locked on me and I sit on my knees formally, which makes him adjust his own posture for a reason that he ignores. This feels important.
“It’s not something humans are taught, so it’s not common knowledge. At least, not where I’m from” I start with a deep inhale, unsure of where to begin, or if I should just say it as it is and then try to answer any questions he might have next.
“Mates are not something we’re… born with. It’s a bond that’s made when both sides love each other with all of their heart, with all that they are. If it were just me loving you, as it usually works between hybrids and their owners, it would be fine, but if you intend to love me that strongly too… you have to know what that would do to you, to us”.
My tone is wary, and it helps Namjoon to fill in the blanks on his own. “We’d create a bond as mates” he says aloud, realization taking place on his face.
"Yes. But that's not bad in itself, it's what happens when love ends that's dangerous" I continue with a sigh. "A broken bond... it means death for me, that's why I want you to know before we start anything".
Namjoon's breath remains trapped in his lungs, a lump forming in his throat as he stares at me.
He didn't expect that, and yet he should've, for everything suddenly makes sense, everything that he’s heard about hybrids in the news so far.
It explains why so many of us end up sick or dead when their owners find a real partner, people who’d apparently held a lot of love for them and couldn’t understand what happened.
Namjoon remembers when fellow hybrids would be interviewed, and the faces they’d make as they’d give incomplete verdicts.
This isn’t something that the world can know about, else everything would go wrong. For me to tell him right now… he understands that I’m trying to protect the both of us, to avoid a disaster from occurring.
But if it’s with me… Namjoon doesn’t see why it would have to end as a disaster.
He doesn’t want anyone else but me, doesn’t need anyone else. He’s never gotten so close to falling head over heels in love until now, and he knows it’ll never happen again in this life if it’s not me.
At the stretched silence, I cast my eyes downwards as I let the information sink into his mind for as long as he needs.
He’s not going to want this anymore, of course. It’s a lot for a human to learn that loving a hybrid ties you to them for life, or death. It’s a lot for a hybrid too, to be loved so much by a being that can stop loving just as fast as they began.
Being loved by Namjoon could also be what kills me one day, if I thought he was capable of it.
“Does it scare you? To be mated to someone like me? Do you not like that?”.
I look up at that question to take in the determination in his eyes, and what I see there leaves me speechless. Did that not deter him from his desire to fall in love with me? Does he not think it’s too much of a responsibility?
I shake my head, because despite all that I know, deep down, in my heart, I have the unwavering belief that Namjoon could never put me in danger. I know as clear as the sun lights up the world that if he ends up as my mate, he would live up to that title by loving me right until the very end.
“I’m not scared of being mated to you. I’m just afraid that you’re going to be tired of me one day” I reply softly, but to that, he quickly makes a denying noise before crouching in front of me on the floor.
“Sweetie, no. All I need is you, I don’t need anyone else in this world. I know that’s easy to say, too easy a promise to break, but I mean it. If that bond ever takes place, I want you to know that I will cherish you always, that it would be an honor for me”.
He takes hold of my hands as he speaks, and I need to blink the tears away as he says words that someone like me should never have the opportunity to hear. This world isn’t made for hybrids to be happy, yet here he is changing that truth for me.
“You’re too good for me, Namjoon” I finally murmur with a small smile on my lips, and his face relaxes as his body loses of its tension like a river finally flowing after its path was unblocked.
“I’m not too good for you, sweetie, you are too good for me. You’re making it easier for me to breathe on this earth, you make being alive into something… fun, rather than challenging and exhausting. If only you could see how much brighter my life has gotten compared to before I met you, you wouldn’t look at me like this”.
I intertwine my fingers with his, truly at a loss for words.
I didn’t know that my being in his life had impacted him so much. It means a lot to me to know that I wasn’t a simple… whim of his, that he didn’t just get me because he was bored, but because he needed someone by his side.
He needed a new light to get rid of his darkness.
“Let’s take our time, then, let’s savor this experience as it grows into something beautiful” I murmur for his ears only to hear, and his fingers squeeze around mine before he leans down to kiss them, just like I kissed his hand the last time.
“I would very much like that”.
It’s a sweet moment that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world, but then Namjoon pauses as he reaches my pinkie, and he frowns before looking up at me, his brain having made another connection about what was said, which I’m entirely not ready to hear when he shares it aloud.
“What about you and Yoongi, Y/N? If a bond is created by loving each other strongly, doesn’t that mean you two are already mates?”.
Shocked by what sounds like a rather grounded statement, I can only gape at him as he stares back at me with concern in his dragon-shaped eyes.
“Why do you think Yoongi and I would be like that, Namjoon?” I ask him, suddenly feeling nervous as my tail curls around my backside.
He didn’t see through my affection for Yoongi, did he? How? I didn’t even mention him again after that day when I asked if we could invite him and Jin over, which he didn’t either.
He seemed rather pleased that the matter would be forgotten, and I was ready to go along with his wishes regardless of how it made me feel.
“You love him, don’t you? And he loves you too, that much was obvious to me when we went to the shelter” he answers like he knows that as the absolute truth, his eyes watching me and my reaction very closely, but my mind is reeling and burning with thoughts that all fight for my attention.
I think back to that day when Namjoon allowed me to see Yoongi at the shelter and how I’d melted in his embrace, how right it felt. Was that reciprocated? Did Yoongi feel the same?
When did I start feeling that way for him? When did I start falling for him?
It wasn’t like that when we met for the first time, not until much later as we spent more and more time together every day. Not until Yoongi’s behaviour towards me started to change just like Namjoon’s has this week-
I stop breathing as this reality of mine finally begins to solidify into truth, like a paper brought over a fire to reveal now obvious curves of dark ink once unseen. How could I not notice?
What have we done?
It happened so smoothly that it hadn’t at all crossed my mind as a possibility, but did Yoongi know? If so, why not say anything to me about it? Or did he lose the right timing when Namjoon suddenly adopted me and then gave up? Despite the risks?
My body starts to tremble at the thought that we might have bonded only to be separated, it’s putting a new fear into the very core of my soul, because what happens if we’re away from each other for too long? What happens then?
“I didn’t know, I didn’t- I don’t want to kill him, Namjoon, I can’t” I let out in a small whimper as tears begin to fall down my cheeks, and he immediately leans over to pull me to his chest with a small hush on his lips, brows knitted together as he tries to keep making sense of everything.
Would Yoongi risk dying because we’re far from one another? Or is it because I’m afraid that by loving him more, I’d eventually forget enough about the cat to break the bond? What would that do to me, then?
Namjoon first felt jealous of the love between Yoongi and I, but now there’s a certain urgency taking place in his heart as he keeps my trembling body in the safety of his arms.
He doesn’t hate Yoongi, not nearly enough to wish for such a terrible thing.
Despite his jealously, he found the black cat cute when they played together. Something about that moment felt right, though he couldn’t explain it back then. He still can’t.
Namjoon isn’t in love with Yoongi, he doesn’t even know if he could one day develop feelings for him, but he knows without a doubt that he can’t be stupid right now.
If he can keep receiving my love, then he’ll learn to accept that I can love someone else as well.
As long as it’s under his roof, he can tolerate it.
“We’ll take care of this, sweetie, don’t worry, everything will be fine” he murmurs before resting his forehead onto my shoulder, feeling both defeated by what’s to come and determined to make things right.
Had Seokjin known, he probably wouldn’t have separated us, so it now falls onto his shoulders to make sure nothing bad happens, considering that the man would agree to let him adopt Yoongi too.
Because he is the cat’s owner, right? Or is he not?
If so, doesn’t that mean anyone could come and adopt him if he’s not fast enough? That would only make things more complicated, and he doesn’t think there’s any need for that at this point.
Namjoon sighs, then rubs a hand over my back to help me calm down.
He’ll just have to hope that he won’t regret it, because the outcome seems to be already written for him.

🦊: I honestly thought it would never happen.
Jungkook: Really?
🦊: Well, it's just... *trying not to laugh* You always go live whenever you want, so I thought you wouldn't do it because it would be obsolete.
Jungkook: Yeah, but my fans get more of me this way.
🦊: Oh my god!
*both laugh*
🦊: Very narcissistic.
Jungkook: We all are in a way.
🦊: Purr.
Jungkook: *snickers then laughs*
🦊: So, why did we do this?
Jungkook: Okay, so, I'm Korean an-
🦊: *chuckles*
Jungkook: *chuckles* *in between chuckles* I'm Korean, but Y/N is a foreigner in Korea.
🦊: Very "Emily in Paris"
Jungkook: *long pause* No, "XO, Kitty".
🦊: EW! *laughs*
🦊: Do I give koreaboo vibes!?
Jungkook: *deadpan/trying not to laugh* Yeah.
Jungkook: OKAY! Let me get back to it. As we talk more and more, we kind of noticed that there are some things that we tell each other that kind of shock us.
🦊: Right and it was very entertaining to other people to listen to us talk about these things, and honestly? I need to pay my college debt.
Jungkook: I- okay, we can talk about that off the podcast *laughs*
🦊: I will DECLINE ONCE AGAIN if you offer to pay for it.
🦊: *in between laughs* LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT MONEY!~
Jungkook: Yeah, we don't want a frenemies incident.
🦊: They were iconic though.
Jungkook: It was very culture shocking, we can talk about that in another episode.
🦊: For sure. Today's episode is about~
Jungkook: Musiiiiiic! *sighs smiling* I love it!
🦊: Okay, before that! I nee- Okay, WE need to-
Jungkook: Oh! I forgot about that!
🦊: I can tell. So, just because we started this podcast, it does NOT MEAN I WANNA DATE JUNGKOOK!
Jungkook: *laughs away from the mic* *gets close* I don't wanna date you either.
🦊: No! This is for real! People will-
Jungkook: Start to ship up and stuff.
🦊: Which, no. Please.
Jungkook: Yeah, and again, just because we have a podcast and they're with me, it does not mean that we're dating or fucking or-
🦊: EW!
Jungkook: *in between laughs* Stop!~ I have to be serious!~
🦊: *giggles*
Jungkook: *trying not to laugh* Or give you guys the opportunity or-*clears throat/gets serious* right to go to their socials and bully them. We're friends.
🦊: And even if we're dating.
Jungkook: Yeah, no. Please, just spread love and positivity.
🦊: yeah...
🦊: So, *claps hands* MU.SIC!
Jungkook: I wanna go first!
🦊: Go for it, dude.
Jungkook: *smiles* So, here's the thing.
🦊: *laughs* Oh my god, I know what you're gonna say!
Jungkook: Y/N likes a ton of different music and they are very knowledgeable in a lot of cultures.
🦊: *gets embarrassed* Stop.
Jungkook: So they have a lot of things to talk about.
🦊: Such a Pisces *laughs*
Jungkook: *in between laughs* Yeah!
Jungkook: So because of that, they showed me reggaeton music, and OH MY GOD.
🦊: *laughs away from the mic*
Jungkook: *gets closer to the mic* This music, makes "WAP" by Cardi B look like a baby.
🦊: For sure!~
Jungkook: I remember the first time you showed me the translation of it and I was like "뭐야!?! 이거 허용되나?!"
🦊: *laughs*
Jungkook: I remember the song too, it was "Delincuente" by Tokischa.
🦊: His Spanish is cute.
Jungkook: *long pause* Who?
🦊: YOU!
Jungkook: Oh *snickers* Stop. Okay! It too-
🦊: It was shocking for you.
Jungkook: For sure. The first lines were "Tokischa, you fuck or not?". I was-
🦊: *smiling* Clutching his pearls.
Jungkook: Like a church 아주마.
🦊: For sure.
Jungkook: And it got like worse over the course of it.
🦊: But like was it REALLY shocking?
Jungkook: *hums thinking* Well... It's not shocking but it was surprising.
🦊: Explain, sir.
Jungkook: Well, it was the openness of it. Like, her talking about how she wants to be filled with "milk".
Jungkook: I'm doing air quotes since I know you guys can't see. That they have to be quiet, that she's horny, that he should put it on her ass and coochie.
🦊: *laughs* NOT AT YOU SAYING COOCHIE!
Jungkook: *giggles*
Jungkook: My fans are gonna hate you
🦊: They'll think I'm corrupting you but in rea-
Jungkook: We're both pretty fucked.
🦊: Very in tune with our sexuality.
Jungkook: Yeah, that's why I wasn't SHOCKED, but I was surprised by the lyrics.
🦊: You know that's a trend?
Jungkook: What is?
🦊: People, Spanish speakers, show their parents the song to get their reaction.
Jungkook: That was lowkey me.
🦊: *giggles* It was, I should have recorded it!~
Jungkook: The first time you showed me the song, I didn't understand it because I didn't know what it said so I was like *singing* Ella quiere bicho!~ BELLACA!
🦊: *laughs loudly*
Jungkook: I was saying... VERBATIM "She wants dick! SHE'S HORNY!"
🦊: *in between laughs* 근데 귀여웠어! You have a cute accent in Spanish.
Jungkook: *gets close to the mic* *voice lowers* You flirting with me?
🦊: *sighs/groans* 아니야...
Jungkook: So, that was my~
Together: CULTURE SHOCK!
Jungkook: *laughs* That was so cringy! We're never doing that again!
🦊: Listen to us do it in a few minutes.
Jungkook: Yeah.
Jungkook: What about yours?
🦊: My culture shock in music?
Jungkook: Yeah, I'm curious.
🦊: *hums thinking* It wasn't the music, but it was the CULTURE around it.
Jungkook: Ooooooh!~ Controversial! Are we gonna get canceled?
🦊: *in between laughs* Our first aND last episode.
Jungkook: *in between laughs* Every Korean person will want to kill you after this.
Jungkook: I know what you're gonna say.
🦊: *smirks* Say it.
Jungkook: Out loud, say it.
🦊: *gasps* I thought you would sa- Forget it
Jungkook: The "House of Dragons" one?
🦊: Yeah.
Jungkook: But, twilight is more quotable and iconic internationally.
🦊: Oh! For sure!
Jungkook: Anyways! Yours is idol culture.
🦊: Yeah, but not like you being an idol.
Jungkook: Right.
🦊: It's like... Fans feeling entitled to you and your body and just everything about you.
Jungkook: 응응
🦊: Like even with your solo-
Jungkook: Oh god!~ *giggles*
🦊: Fans were like *whisper yells* "He's gonna kiss her! Who does she think she is?! There's gonna be sexual dances with women like with Jimin! ". It was... *long pause*
Jungkook: Yeah, it's a lot.
🦊: It's obsessive.
Jungkook: But, you were a fan like that too.
🦊: *gets close to the mic* Lower. Your. God. Damn. Voice.
Jungkook: She was obsessed with-
🦊: PLEASE DON'T EXPOSE ME!~
Jungkook: *laughs* Okay, I won't.
Jungkook: But you were like that.
🦊: Yeah, but I was 13. I've seen 20-year-olds act like that over idols and it-
Jungkook: It gives you the ick.
🦊: For sure.
Jungkook: But the way I see it. It's like they love you SO MUCH that it manifests itself like that.
🦊: Yeah but, there needs to be boundaries.
🦊: Like liking someone is okay, but they are their own person, and if there's no chance then just accept it.
Jungkook: Yeah, but you're manifesting-
🦊: Stop!~ He's gonna listen to this and I don't wanna say it out loud because then it doesn't happen~
Jungkook: Can I just say? He likes you too.
🦊:....
🦊:....
🦊:....
Jungkook: Like, in the way you like HIM.
🦊:....
🦊:....
🦊:...
Jungkook: *singing* CULTURE SHOCK!!
*both laugh*
Jungkook: Our producer is telling us to wrap it up.
Jungkook: 같이 먹어러 가자.
🦊: 콜!
Jungkook: Tell us in the comments if you want us to continue the podcast.
🦊: Yeah, I have the next topic already if they want us to continue.
🦊: You guys should tell us to continue since JK spend a lot of money on the equipment.
Jungkook: I'm taking 5%
🦊: *laughs*
Together: He takes that 5%~
🦊: JINX! You owe me a soda.
Jungkook: *sighs in defeat*
🦊: *laughs* Now he can't say bye until he gets me a soda
🦊: Anyways, support the podcast. Follow us!~ Stream "Seven" and... *long pause*

🦊: Purr
Jungkook: Watch us become a tea podcast
🦊: Iconic
Jungkook: Is it?
🦊: You like to gossip so...
Jungkook: Well! It's because you made me this way *laughs*
🦊: *in between laughs* For sure, he minded his business until we met. Now we just gossip about things happening in the industry.
Jungkook: The Jeongyeon and Jimin tea.
🦊: *gasps* ARE YOU CONFIRMING?!
Jungkook: I'm not confirming NOR denying.
🦊: *laughs*

Jungkook
𝓣𝓪𝓴𝓮 𝓒𝓪𝓻𝓮. [Teaser]
Tumblr media
Jungkook loves his job, his life, his coworkers. He loves the smell of rain, loves the coolness of his bedsheets when he comes home and falls into his bed after a long day, loves the sometimes angry drunk people he's got to deal with, and loves the quiet children he takes care of when they've got into trouble. But you? That's gonna be a whole different level of love.
Tags/Warnings: Hospital/Medical AU, Doctor!Jungkook, slightly aged up!Jungkook, Hybrid!Reader, Dog Hybrid!Reader, another slightly heavy one but the comfort is strong with this hurt, angst, fluff, romance, strangers to lovers, blood, medical stuff, mentions of domestic (physical and mental) abuse, corruption, more TBA
Length: story is currently split into 5 parts, but could end up longer if you guys want.
-> Masterlist
⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅
Jungkook has given an oath to protect life, and he's aware of that- but he hopes whoever's up there above makes an exception for him when he has to commit a murder in the next few minutes.
"You better have a real good reason to ping me out of my bed at 3 in the fucking morning.!" Jungkook growls under his breath, walking into the staff room where Namjoon seems to have already been waiting. "The ER is empty- so is my bed, when I should be in it! Why am I here?" He whines, changing out of his clothes and into his scrubs- his shift is gonna start at 5 anyways, so it won't really be smart to go back home after whatever is going on that needs his attention so badly is done.
"Trust me, I hate ringing you out of your sleep." Namjoon sighs, as he slides a clipboard towards the young doctor, who slips on his shoes before he takes it to read over it. "Take a good look at it, and tell me what's fishy about it." He asks, and Jungkook adjusts his glasses, reading through all the medical jargon written down in handwriting he used to be unable to read.
"Are you trying to test me here?" Jungkook asks annoyed, though he keeps his attention mostly on the clipboard, moving page after page to find what his friend and coworker seems to be hinting at.
"No, I'm serious." Namjoon questions, crossing his arms.
The seriousness in his voice makes Jungkook focus a bit more, looking through everything when he flips a page back and forth. "Wait, that doesn't make sense.." He mumbles to himself, and Namjoon seems relieved that his best friend has seemingly found the issue as well. "How the hell does one get stabbed three times 'on accident'?" Jungkook questions, shaking his head. "On the thigh, too?" He wonders, looking at Namjoon in front of him.
"Owner said the patient had 'moved around' while he tried to remove the butter knife, forcing it back in twice." Namjoon offers, and Jungkook scoffs.
"Come on, stabbing someone with something as dull as a butter knife is already pretty impossible to achieve." The young doctor questions. "But really? And anyone believed him?" He wonders, looking through the vitals once more.
"Read the name again. The owner's, not the patient's." He asks, and Jungkook's eyes widen.
"Jo Dongsun? So that's why they're just gonna shrug it off?" He asks. "Cause he's an actor?"
"Probably." Namjoon sighs, walking back to take a sip from his cold coffee on the table. "But that's not.. entirely why I pinged you." He says, peaking Jungkook's interest as he's finally awake and alert enough, fully back in work-mode. "The patient- poor thing is refusing any up-close treatment, has to be put on local anesthetics, and you know that's not ideal." The young doctor says, walking out the door with his friend at his side, walking back into the ER. "And you've got a hand for things like that. Maybe you can try and make her feel more comfortable so we won't have to medicate her this much?" He asks, and Jungkook nods.
Hybrids are pretty sensitive to most human medications- their bodies still being studied, many side effects still being explored and explained. But until they're understood to the degree that the world understands the human body, they have to work with that they have- and adjust everything else. It's why people like Jungkook are so vital to today's medical system- he's talented in creating solutions for problems no one else would think of, keeps his studies up to date, and is most of all compassionate and kind even to the wildest of patients.
He's also got a certified degree proving his top knowledge when it comes to hybrid care specifically. It's why Namjoon had even proposed the idea to everyone to move you into Jungkook's care instead, though some aren't really on board with it, considering his rather.. wild attitude so to speak. He won't back into whatever the man will try and tell him happened- he will try and get to the bottom of this, no matter how much impact that guy has.
If he has to ruin a career to save a life, he will.
"I'll do my best. If it's a domestic abuse case she's probably pretty terrified." Jungkook mumbles more or less to himself, before he seems to arrive at the corner you're hidden in, curtains giving you some privacy. He doesn't know what to expect, really- even though he's read all of your data, everything he needs to know about your physical and mental state- he still won't know what he's dealing with until he goes behind that curtain.
And nothing in the world could've prepared him for what's behind that said curtain, as he pulls it back and catches his first glimpse of you.

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 40- I Need U
Tumblr media
Chapter Summary: Yoongi and Jen get into a heated argument. BTS shoot for I Need U as Jen impresses with her acting skills portraying a naive girl in an abusive relationship. Gaining confidence, Jungkook decides to tease Jen when he asks her for a massage.
Words: 13,000+
Author's Note: Yoongi fluff and Jungkook fluff! Ashanti's Rain on Me music video is the inspiration for Jennie's role in I Need U. And I hope your JenKook thirst is quenched for now since the last scene was thought of last minute when I wrote this :)
--------
“I’m fine, mom. Really.” Jennie reassured.
“I’m glad that you are, but I hope you know that you’re stronger than this. Don’t do that to us again, you hear? I was this close to getting a plane ticket.”
“Heh, heh, Vienna and Alani told me. They want me to rest for a week and then see how I do then. I should be refreshed and back to it after that.”
“Good. Now get some rest. I’ll check up on you tomorrow. I love you.”
“Love you too, mom.”
After getting off the phone, Jen set her phone on the bed and laid back down in her bed. Not even five minutes later, her phone rang and she checked the caller ID.
Angelina...Facetime.
Answering it, she saw Angelina smiling brightly. But then the rapper widened her eyes when she noticed Jennie was in bed.
“Whoops, did I call at a bad time?” She asked.
“Nah-are you high?” Jennie stared at her.
“Me? No. Not yet.” She waved her comment away. "My blunt didn't hit yet,"
“Wow. Well enjoy the trip when it happens,"
“Oh, I will. How you holdin’ up?”
“I’m getting better.”
“Good, good, that’s what I like to hear. You need to get better so I can come to Korea and see you.”
“Is that so? I think you want to be here so you can see Namjoon.” Jen teased.
“What? No~”
“Uh huh. I’m happy you two are still talking though. It’s cute. I hope you two can collab one day.”
“Oh yeah. I wish I could be there to do a song on his upcoming mixtape though. But my schedule...so hopefully next time. Soon I’ll come down your way, get to see you and you can introduce me to the boys. Especially Jungkook.”
“You're so eager to meet my best friend," Jennie giggled
"I gotta meet the man who has my girl glowing," 
Angelina's statement caught her by surprise as she asked, "What? Me? Glowing?"
"When you talk about him, you light up. You do it for all the members but with Jungkook it's a different light. You may not notice it but I do. So, I gotta meet this man and see for myself. It's adorable,"
"Ah..." 
For some reason, Jennie couldn't help but feel her face heat up from her response. 
Did she really glow differently with Jungkook?
"Oh? Are you getting flustered?" Angelina teased
"No! Shut up!"
Angelina laughed softly. "She is!"
"Anyway! It'll be worth the wait when you and Namjoon collab. And I am looking forward to you meeting the boys. They're the best. You'll love them. They are truly amazing and passionate about what they do. I'm grateful to know them,"
"Aw...I can't wait. Okay, I hate to change the topic to a negative one but girl...let me tell you the bullcrap I've seen. So, Hailey and the girls threw shade at you.”
“Oh wow. Not surprised. What did they say?”
The rapper rolled her eyes. “They claimed you passing out was a publicity stunt.”
“Heard that one before...” Jen murmured with a pang of sadness.
----
“Another water break? We barely even started practice. How are we supposed to be top notch with deadbeat over here wanting breaks every two minutes?” Hailey complained.
Ignoring her, Angelina looked at Jen with worry. “You okay, Jen? You don’t look so good...”
And once she fell from exhaustion, Hailey sighed and rolled her eyes. “Oh, get up. Stop trying to make a publicity stunt for relevance.”
-----
Shaking the negative thought away, Jen asked, “So when are they coming to Korea for their World Tour?”
“Looks like around late 2015.”
“I have a little more time to keep my sanity then.”
A week later, Jen felt good as new and refreshed after resting and keeping hydrated. She found herself at the set of Amber’s Shake That Brass music video shooting.
When she arrived, she greeted everyone on the set and placed mini cupcakes on the table for everyone to help themselves to. She wanted to show her gratitude for being invited to Amber’s music video. People were astonished at her kind gesture and there were already media reports of her act of kindness on K-Pop news sites. Jen didn’t think it was a big deal to have an article about her bringing in cupcakes of all things but everyone else thought it was a benevolent act. Seems like new articles will write about the smallest things these days.
“I’m so happy she’s here! I love her so much!” Amber held onto Jen from behind, hugging her tightly with a big smile on her face. 
They were being filmed for Amber’s video of Pops in Seoul and Jen laughed at her enthusiasm.
“I love you too!” She happily responded as she was released.
“I’m really happy you were able to come and support me. It means a lot to me, having friends be a part of this.”
“You know I wouldn’t miss it.”
“I asked Jennie because I love her charisma and her fun attitude. I feel like she and I will have a great time being filmed together with this concept.”
“Her album is going to be great. The fact that she made everything herself, the music and lyrics, so amazing.”
Jen headed over to the Orchestra section, happily greeting those around her. She even had the courage to approach Girl’s Generation’s Taeyeon. 
“I’m a huge fan of your work! I’m so looking forward to the next comeback of Girl’s Generation.” She told her as she cheerily thanked her. 
She was way more beautiful in person. Taeyeon had told her that she didn’t have to be nervous and she could speak to her anytime. Jen planned to take advantage of that.
“Jennie!” She heard a voice and turned to see Jackson happily waving at her.
“Aye! Jackson, nice to see you here.” She beamed, pulling him in for a hug.
“How you feeling? You okay?” He asked with concern.
He must’ve been talking about her passing out. “Yes, I’m good as new. Well rested. I got your messages."
“Uh huh, you left me on read.” He playfully teased.
“Look, I had a ton of people blowing up my phone. I’m sorry! When BTS can have some free time after our upcoming comeback, we’ll hang out, sound cool?”
“Hm...how do I know that you won’t forget?”
She rolled her eyes and walked away as he laughed. “I was joking! Namjoon never answers my messages, don’t be like him!” He walked after her. When he finally caught up to her, they shared a laugh. “Oh, before I forget, I have a small gift basket for you.”
He gestured for her to follow him and he took the basket out of his bag. “It’s a get well gift from one of my friends. He hopes you’re doing well. He was freaking out when he found out what happened to you. It was supposed to be from all of us in GOT7, but he grew a fit.” He sighed and shook his head.
“Aw, really? This is sweet of him. Oh shit, there’s smarties in here, oh my gosh! Jackson, you gotta tell me who he is! I’d love to thank him in person!”
Jackson smiled at her freaking out over the smarties. “Ah, he wanted to remain anonymous.”
“Well, when you see him, tell him thank you so much and kiss him on the cheek for me. And thank the other members of GOT7. I’d like to meet them one day.”
“I’m sure we can make that happen.”
Tumblr media
For the orchestra scene, Jen wore a black vest with a white shirt and black pants with a drum set. She stood up, as they began to film. 
Amber attempted to try to conduct everyone. She went to a couple of people to show them exactly what she wanted them to do with their instrument, then she came to Jennie.
“You gotta bang. Like this.” Amber demonstrated.
“I did that!” Jen responded but Amber took her sticks and banged on the drums. 
Once she gave them back to her, Jen banged on the drums to the beat of the song and Amber nodded in approval. They filmed scenes of her banging on the drums in sync with Amber’s song while everyone played their instruments around her.
Afterward, everyone sat their instruments down and freestyled, dancing with Amber in front of the camera, doing the Nae Nae and various other dance moves. They even had Jackson and Jen do a dance battle. Jackson’s dancing brought a grin to her face as she hyped him up with the others around her.
When it was her turn to dance, she snatched his hat, placed it on her head and began to dance.
“OHHHHHH!”
She heard everyone say, laughing at how shocked Jackson was.
“I thought we were friends.” Jackson playfully whined
As the filming began to end, Jen felt her phone buzz and opened it to reveal the group chat with the Maknae Line.
Jungkook: Jimin’s going crazy. Help us.
Jungkook: [Image.jpg]
Tumblr media
She examined the photo to see Jimin having her guitar in his hands, planning on throwing it. 
“Oh hell no.” She immediately began to text back
Jen: IS THAT MY GUITAR!? JIMIN YOU BOUT TO DIE TODAY!
Jimin: Jungkook!! Why did you show her!?
Jungkook: Kekekekekekeke
Jimin: SNITCH!
Jen: How TF did he get my guitar!?
Jimin: Jungkookie gave it to me!
Jungkook: LIE!
Jen: Oh...okay...so y’all went in my room?
Tae: Uh...
Jen: Watch yourselves when you go to sleep tonight...We may have five BTS members now.
Jimin: Oh no, what have we done??
Tae: WE!?
Jungkook: WE??? YOU!
Back at the dorm, Hobi and Jen finally decided to initiate the prank war, seeing their targets, Yoongi and Jimin sitting on the couch in the living room. Yoongi, had his headphones on, working on something while Jimin played on his phone.
“We gotta be quick. And run like the wind, got it?” Hobi reminded.
“Got it.” She responded as they both had whipped cream in their right palms, stalking up to them from behind.
“SMACK CAM!” They shouted as Hobi smacked Jimin, and Jen aimed for Yoongi’s side of his face.
The glimpse of them smacking their targets caused the rest of the members to burst out in laughter, screaming and shouting with amusement.
“Do you wanna die!?” Jimin shouted and began chasing after Hobi, who screamed.
“JENNIE! WHAT THE FUCK!?” Yoongi bellowed, turning around to stare at her with rage. 
All the rest of the members were laughing, but Jen noticed Yoongi was the only one who wasn’t as she looked confused at his outburst.
Now what?
“That wasn’t fuckin’ funny! What the fuck?” He shouted, throwing his headphones across the room.
The sound of his headphones hitting the wall, caused everyone to stop laughing and the mood of the room shifted drastically.
Jen looked at Yoongi as irritation began to boil through her veins. 
Frowning at him, she shook her head. “The heck was that? That was unnecessary, Yoongi! It was just a joke-”
“I don’t give a shit! This isn’t fuckin’ funny! And this isn’t the time to be playing around like a bunch of fuckin’ kids!” He slammed his hand on the couch, roughly running his other hand across his face to remove whatever whipped cream he could.
A bitter chuckle came out of her as she poked her cheek with her tongue. 
“Okay, first of all, I’m gonna need you to chill the fuck out.” She snapped.
Hearing what came out of her mouth caused the other members but Yoongi to stare at her in surprise. It staggered them to see her demeanor change into an aggravated one. It was an unusual sight to see her be angry like this.
When Yoongi heard her snap at him, he stood up in fury, causing the Maknae Line’s stomachs to drop with anxiousness.
“This is as chill as I’m gonna fuckin’ get.” He bluntly snapped back.
“I’m not liking this...” Jin looked on with worry.
The members began to feel the atmosphere change for the worse as they felt the tension between the two of them. They weren’t expecting Yoongi and Jennie to clash. Hobi, Jimin, Jungkook and Taehyung began to feel uneasy as they heard their voices getting louder by the second. Jin and Namjoon were alarmed as they tried to figure out how to stop it before it blew up even more.
“It was just a prank! We’re starting a prank war!” She exclaimed.
“I don’t fuckin’ care!” He yelled at her.
Tumblr media
Looking around the room, she looked confused. “Excuse me, who are you yelling at?!”
The Hyung Line glanced at each other in alarm and decided to intervene in the situation. 
Jin shook his head and got in between them. “Okay, this was taken out of hand, let’s not do this.” He calmly spoke up, attempting to back her away from Yoongi. “Stop it. No more of this, stop arguing. I’m not having this.”
“Cause I know damn well you aren’t yelling at me, like that!” Jen continued in fury, ignoring Jin.
“Yah! Yah! Yah! Stop.” Hobi tried to back Yoongi away from her with Namjoon as the Maknae Line watched helplessly at the chaos.
“Get the fuck outta here!” She shouted.
“That’s enough. Come on, now. Let’s not do this.” Namjoon’s voice was filled with authority, trying to reason. “Let’s speak calmly, not yell.”
“I didn’t think this would end up like this...” Taehyung murmured to Jungkook and Jimin. 
The two were now in each other’s faces, yelling back and forth and it didn’t look like they were stopping anytime soon.
“Yeah, okay...okay...” Jen responded sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
“I don’t want this shit on me!” Yoongi shouted as a vein popped out of his neck.
“It’s whipped fucking cream!” She clapped her hands three times.
“I don’t care if it was water, I don’t want that shit on me!”
“It’s nothin’ serious! What’s your issue!? It was a joke! Completely harmless!”
“G-guys. Please stop arguing.” A whipped creamed covered Jimin pleaded. 
This whole situation was making him sad, he didn’t want to see anyone fighting. When Jin finally managed to back Jen away from Yoongi, Taehyung took over, wrapping his arms around her from behind, in a tight embrace. 
Taehyung desperately tried to calm her down but to no avail, as he told her, “Ennie, please relax. Please calm down.” 
“Get off of me, Tae.” She attempted to wiggle out of his grip.
“Not until you calm down. I don’t want to see you like this. Please, Ennie. Please calm down.”
Yoongi was trying to get away from Namjoon and Hobi’s grips as he shouted, “I don’t have time for this bullshit!” His voice filled with aggression. “You see me fuckin’ working on something, why the fuck would you do stupid shit like this!?”
“You can’t take a break and relax!? Have fun for just a moment!?”
“We have an album coming out soon!”
“I get that!” She got out of Tae’s arms.
“Enough Jennie-“ Jin stopped mid-sentence.
“No. I’m gonna say what I have to say.” She responded to him and turned back to Yoongi. ”You are not gonna yell at me like that. We are all friggin’ stressed out from this album. The least we can do is loosen up with a couple of laughs and take our minds off work for just a moment. You need to lighten up!”
“Everyone calm down!” Jimin shouted. “Please, let’s just cool down. This was blown out of proportion.”
“FUCK!” Yoongi shouted and roughly shoved Namjoon and Hobi off him, storming into his bedroom. He slammed the door, causing everyone but Jennie to flinch.
She exhaled with her eyes closed, trying to compose herself. Opening her eyes, she muttered out a curse. “Un-fucking-believable...”
Taehyung turned to her, with a sad expression. “E-Ennie-“
“Don’t.” She raised her hand up, gesturing for him to stop. “I’m taking a walk.”
“I-I’ll come with you,” Jungkook spoke up.
“I just want to be alone,” she said with irritation as she left the dorm.
The dorm felt empty without the energetic vibe as the rest of the members were bummed at how things turned out. A scary pissed off Yoongi and an unhappy Miss Bangtan were not something they prepared for. 
Namjoon sighed and rubbed his temples on the couch. “I wished we handled that better...”
-----
Yoongi and Jen haven’t spoken a word to each other in the past few days as Jen stood backstage with Amber for Music Bank, in support of her in Shake That Brass.
“Ouch, and you still haven’t talked to him?” Amber asked with a concerned look, sitting on the couch.
“Nope,” Jen replied, sitting next to her, and looking at the TV on the wall.
“Aw, he needs to lighten up. But I can understand how frustrated he was about it. I hope you two can rekindle soon.”
After getting ready for the show, Jen began to get filmed for a Bangtan Bomb as she stood with Amber and 4Minute backstage. To be able to meet these fierce ladies was an honor, as Jen happily told them how much she adored their song, Crazy.
“Crazy is lit, oh my gosh. I’ve been practicing ever since your song came out. Can I show you?” She eagerly asked.
“Yeah! Let’s see!” Hyuna beamed.
“Let’s see!” Sohyun clapped her hands.
“Amber you should do it too!” Jiyoon pointed to her.
“Me? Me really? You wanna?” Amber turned to Jennie.
“Oh yeah, come on.” She answered. 
Amber had pulled out her phone, putting the song on, skipping just a few seconds before the chorus.
“Okay, five...six...seven...eight.”
nal bogo michyeo
(C.R.A.Z.Y) ttara hae
Jen and Amber began the choreography, Amber did a laid-back version of it while Jen went full out.
The 4Minute members cheered them on with bright smiles on their faces. 
“Wow!” They applauded
Later, Amber and Jen waited to go on stage as Jen turned to the Bangtan Bomb camera with a smile.
“Today I met 4Minute. They’re super nice. Crazy is lit. I can’t get enough of that song. And now I’m here to perform Shake That Brass with Amber.” She wrapped her arm around her.
Amber pulled her close, cheek to cheek. “We’re gonna have a lot of fun today!” she shot up a peace sign.
Jen watched Amber perform from backstage, as she waited for her cue, with a mic in hand. “I’m a little nervous.” She glanced at the Bangtan Bomb camera, still filming her. “But this is a fun song, so I’m sure once I get on that stage, I’ll feel more carefree, y’know?” She started bouncing around as she continued watching.
When it was her cue, she made her way to the stage, standing behind the dancers.
Yeah I want you to
(Shake shake that brass)
Yeah I want you to
“Shake that brass.” Her smooth voice was heard as Amber’s backup dancers revealed her. 
She got a big pop from the crowd as she smiled and strutted forward. She had some big shoes to fill because Taeyeon was the original singer of the verse, but she performed it in her own style, singing out strong with soul. From the cheers of the crowd, she seemed to have done well. 
“oneul bam bam gomindeureun naeil more saenggakhae. meorireul biwobeoryeo amu saenggak an nage. son meori wiro.”
Amber stands next to her with a smile, dancing with her.
(Uhuh)
“sinnage ttwieo”
(Yeah yeah)
“da gachi michyeo, get it started. Come and shake that brass~!” Her high note was filled with soul and energy and earned some more cheers. “Woo!” 
She cheered, moving her hips around with Amber.
Hey ho (Yeah) Hey Ho (Uh Huh)
Hey Ho (Yeah) Hey Ho (Uh Huh)
Hey Ho (Yeah) Hey Ho (Uh Huh)
“Shake that brass~! Oh, baby!” She sang out, holding hands with Amber as Amber spun her around.
Hey Ho Shake That Brass
“Wooooooooooo~!”
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA-
“Won’t you shake that brass...Ooooohhhhh won’t you shake that brass!” She ended the song with a huge smile on her face. Amber had stuck her tongue out, standing next to her for their final pose.
Soon they embraced in a big hug, causing the crowd to cheer for them.
After the show, fans tweeted their love for the duo with the hashtags, #Jamber and #Jenber eager for the next time to watch the duo together.
-----
As soon as she went back to the dorm, Jimin and Namjoon asked to speak with her in her room. They sat on her bed and tried to talk to her about Yoongi. Jen however, wasn’t having it, being the stubborn teenager, she was.
“Nope.” She bluntly replied, still feeling some type of way at how he yelled at her.
Who did he think he was, to raise his voice at her like that? She wasn’t going to stand there and let him scream at her in any type of way. She stood up for her opinion on the situation, not backing down and felt as though he overreacted.
“Jennie, you two should talk it out,” Jimin suggested.
“I don’t want to talk to him, he pissed me off.” She stubbornly responded.
“Ennie, come on...”
“No.”
“Please?”
“No.” She replied louder.
“I think you should apologize.” Namjoon calmly spoke up.
“But why do I need to say sorry? I feel like I’ve done nothing wrong. Everything I did was harmless. It wasn’t that bad. I just wanted to share some laughs.”
“I understand that, Jennifer.” He said with seriousness in his voice. “But try to put yourself in Yoongi’s shoes. Get where he’s coming from. You know what a workaholic he is and how serious he is about his work. The whipped cream got on his notebook. Almost smeared what he was working on.”
Jen exhaled. She didn’t know that part. She knew how he was with his work and it made her feel guilty. Deep down, she was sad that they weren’t talking. She missed him. She missed being around him. Maybe she did go too far, unaware that he was working on something important. 
As much as she hated to admit.
“Where is he?” She finally asked with another sigh.
“His studio.”
Meanwhile, with Yoongi, he drowned himself in work, with his headphones on his ears. Earlier today, Namjoon and Hobi had talked to him about the argument and he couldn’t help but think about the conversation.
“I don’t want to fucking talk to her. I don’t want to see her, I don’t want anything to do with her. I don’t even want you to say her damn name. So, drop it. This conversation is over.” He had growled at them in frustration.
“She really cares about us. She just wanted us to loosen up. We’re all on edge for this album. You know that. She just wanted us to laugh and forget about work for just an hour or so. Get where she’s coming from.” Namjoon had told him.
He’d be lying if he said he didn’t think about her since the fight. He missed her presence. He didn’t mean to say that he didn’t want anything to do with her. She held a special place in his heart. He was emotional at the time. Frustrated. They both said things in the heat of the moment.
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard knocking in the room.
“Hey.” Jen greeted softly. He acknowledged her at the door by glancing at her and continued to work. “You free to talk?”
He grunted, responding as a yes, pushing a seat out for her to sit. He placed his headphones on his neck, stopping what he was doing as he turned to her. He didn’t look angry, he looked upset that they went that far while arguing.
He could tell she was feeling the same.
“I’ve...been thinking about our blowout.” She spoke again after a moment of silence. “I just came here to say that I’m sorry.” He could hear the sadness in her voice. “I should’ve been more mindful of you and your work. I know how you get with your work. I know how passionate you are about music. Sorry for doing that to you. I hope I didn’t ruin anything.”
Yoongi let out a sigh. “Although we pissed each other off and yelled some crazy things...I can’t stay mad at you.” He shrugged and shook his head. “I forgive you...and I’m sorry for lashing out at you like that, Smartie. Forgive me.”
A smile came across her face. “It’s okay.”
He was happy to see her smile as he placed a hand on top of her head affectionately and turned back to his work.
“Oh geez...” He sighed when she wrapped her arms around him, pressing multiple kisses on his cheek. Though he secretly enjoyed the affection. “Okay, okay. That’s enough.”
“Nope! Not done, yet.” She laughed and gave him a couple more of her sweet kisses.
“Gross...” He faked a gagging sound, wiping his cheek when she released him.
“Don’t lie to me. You love my hugs and kisses.”
“Whatever helps you sleep at night.”
“Wow. Really?” She asked, offended as he smirked in response.
When they got back to the dorm, Jen took a nap on the couch, and Yoongi decided to get her back for what she did to him. Just like he did after filming an episode of Rookie King, he got a Sharpie and wrote all over her face. Writing various words like swag, and Suga. Jen remained asleep, unaware, as the members around her struggled not to laugh.
“She’s going to kill you, hyung.” Tae giggled.
“I like to see her try.” Yoongi responded, and took a photo of her makeover, tweeting, ‘Prank War is now on. #SUGA’
Jen woke up a minute later from the laughing and looked around.
“Why are you guys laughing so much?” She asked.
“We’re just admiring your new makeover.” The Daegu rapper smirked, revealing the Sharpie in his hands.
Her stomach dropped when she realized what he had done. “No friggin, you didn’t-“ She cut herself off as she grabbed her phone and turned the camera on herself. “YOONGI! What the hell!?”
“I know, you finally look beautiful.”
She tried to hit him but he backed away, as he laughed with the members. 
“Asshole!” She laughed and went to clean her face in the bathroom.
“Prank war is now on. No teams. Every person for themselves. Got it?” Yoongi announced.
“AAAWWWWEEEE Yeah! Let’s go!” The members got hyped
----
The next day, in the afternoon, Jen decided to practice her freestyle dancing in one of the dance studios at Big Hit. After doing her stretches, she plugged her phone into the speaker and put on Come on Over by Sevyn Streeter.
Jen admired the artist and loved how sexy and confident she was with her music. Sometimes she would think about what it would be like to collab with her. She hoped so one day if it was possible. Standing in the middle of the dance floor, she begam to dance on beat when she heard Sevyn sing.
On my mind just one thing
You and me doing some things
No particular one place, oh no O-pen
Open to changes, positions, and angles
Tonight I ain’t no angel, oh no
She wanted to focus on storytelling with her dancing, and listening to the lyrics. But she couldn’t help but feel like she was missing something as she danced. After dancing for 30 minutes, Hobi walked in, with a big smile.
“I hope you don’t mind a dance partner!” He greeted.
“Hey! No, of course not! Join me! I could use some help. You mind?”
“Not at all.” He stretched first and then went over to see what she needed help with. 
She wanted him to help her with body rolling and popping her body more. Make her movements more fluid. He showed her a couple of basic moves as she watched in awe at how in sync he was and how smooth he moved. His style of dancing was unique in her eyes. No doubt he was the best representative of BTS’ Dance Line.
Tumblr media
“You got it?” He asked with a smile.
“Well...I think so.” She replied, unsure of herself
“I’m not liking that attitude, munchkin. Come on, you can do it.”
She tried out his movements. She was doing them but it looked like she was missing something. It was almost like she was hesitating in his eyes.
“You’re holding back. Don’t do that to yourself. Elevate.” he spoke up.
“Really? I feel like I’m not holding back. This is how I dance.” She explained.
He crossed his arms. “Can I be blunt?”
“Knock yourself out.”
“I feel like your true dancing potential is still locked away because of what you told me about Amity. You said they wanted you to tone it down. Well, you won’t tone it down anymore, not here. I’m not having it. I can’t keep standing here when I know you can do better than this.”
Jen was taken aback at his sudden statement. But he had a point as much as she hated to admit it.
“I...”
“No excuses. I know you can do better, Jennie. Now, show me. Dance, munchkin...Dance.” He smiled and pressed shuffle on her phone as Numb by Rihanna came on.
Jen stood and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
'Dance, huh?' she thought as Rihanna began to sing.
Ecstasy in the air
I don’t care
‘But...I don’t think I can do this...’ She thought nervously.
Can’t tell me nothing
I’m impaired
No worse for wear
‘Cause I’m going numb
‘Move.’ She thought as her body suddenly began to move, side to side, on beat, getting into it. Hobi nodded to the beat, watching her attentively.
I’m going numb
I’m going numb, I’m going numb
I’m going numb, I’m going numb (Let the champagne splash)
I’m going numb, I’m going numb (Let that man get cash)
I’m going numb,
Hobi smiled brightly when he watched her let loose. How her face changed into an expression of seriousness. Her movements were fluid with the beat, her body popping powerfully with the beat. It was like the dancer in her broke the chain that locked her true potential. 
It felt good.
She felt free.
The way she danced, it was like she told a story as she listened to the lyrics. The way she went harder when the beat dropped on the second set of Rihanna’s ‘I’m going Numb’s.
Can’t you see
Ain’t it clear
Hobi was elated to see her dance harder and decided to record her on his phone as she body rolled powerfully during the second verse. She even added some of the moves he had shown her earlier, remaining in sync with the beat.
I don’t care
Get closer to me
If you dare
I double dare
'Cause I’m going numb,
This time, she swayed side to side with more energy, running a hand through her hair, pretending that she was going numb. 
‘Atta girl.’ Hobi thought to himself, seeing a whole different person.
This is Jennie.
This is who Miss Bangtan is.
As soon as the beat dropped, she popped her chest and the rest of her body, robotically and rigid. 
But odds are I'mma end up in the back of a squad car 
Hobi widened his eyes, impressed as he watched her dance faster during Eminem’s rap. It caused him to squeal happily. 
“Woo! Wooooooo! Go munchkin!” He shouted
“Stop making me laugh!” She broke out into a smile as she continued to dance.
After the song ended, she let out a breath. 
‘Was that actually me?’ She looked at her reflection.
“That felt good. So, how’d I do?” She turned to him with a nervous smile.
Hobi screamed and jumped around, applauding her loudly. She laughed when he picked her up and spun her around. 
“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Where have you been!?” 
The room filled with their loud laughter as he set her down. 
He grabbed his phone to show her the video he recorded. “Now this, this is Miss Bangtan. This is Jennie.” He smiled. “Your dancing has gotten so much better. I’m so proud of you.”
She turned to him, touched by his words. “Thank you, Hobi. Thank you so much. This means a lot coming from you.”
Hobi tweeted a small video of Jen dancing, ‘I think she’s going numb, kekekeke. Well done, munchkin! Sometimes all you need is that extra push. Proud of you. #JHOPE’

On March 9th, after giving out handmade gifts for ARMY on his birthday, Yoongi went to the studio to work, only to find a birthday card and two black boxes in his workspace. The bigger black box was on the bottom while the smaller one was on the top, wrapped up as a tag was attached to it.
‘To the guy I’ll beat in the next basketball game :P’
“Smartie.” He confirmed with a smirk as he sat down and opened the card first.
‘Dear Grandpa!’
He read and stopped. “This girl...” He shook his head in amusement and kept reading.
‘I don’t think you have any idea how much you’re valued or how much you mean to me. I look up to you. A lot. Not just for rapping but also for your passion in your work. How relatable your lyrics are and your ability to create such moving music. How humble you are about what you do. How raw you are with your rapping, I inspire to be on that level, to show that much emotion in music like you do. Just you being yourself in general, and how I enjoy being around you, even if you’re feeling a little lazy or in one of your work modes. Not to mention your blunt, yet savage remarks these days. Yeah, we may piss each other off at times but no matter what, we work on our problems and learn about ourselves so we can move forward through anything. I’ll always be there. No matter what. Even if you need me to be your napping buddy, I’m there. (Just don’t drool on me like last time, mkay? Mkay.) Thank you for being straightforward with me since the day we met. You’re very giving and hard working. And I thank you for always taking the time to teach me about rapping. I thank you for taking me under your wing, being patient, and encouraging me. You may not act like it but I see how much you care. You love us, members, more quietly, but I dare say you have the biggest heart.’
Yoongi stopped reading as he looked down, feeling something in his heart. That last sentence moved him. He took a moment to pull himself together before continuing to read.
‘And FYI, I do catch your small smiles when I accomplish your rap assignments. :) That is always motivating me to work harder so I can see that gummy smile of yours. Though we’re not related by blood, you are a brother I prayed for and I thank you for being in my life. I love you, Yoongi and I’m happy to be a part of BTS as we grow together musically, mentally and physically.
P.S.- When’s our next one on one basketball game? Too scared to get trashed? ;)
“This girl...” He smiled. 
Sometimes she could be a pain in the ass. With her smacking him with whipped cream, especially, but at the end of the day, she would always be special to him. He never knew how much her words could move him as he reread her letter.
He opened the smallest gift first, opening the small box to reveal a personalized charm bracelet with a basketball and his name on it. He read the note that was on the box.
‘You better be wearing this. I have my own. We’re matching. No ifs, ands, or buts. Deal with it.’
“This girl is something else.” He put the bracelet on. It was a perfect fit for him. He turned to the big box, taking off the cover and inside looked like a haul of Kumamon merch. “This girl...” He repeated yet again in disbelief.
‘You still like him, right? Hope you like this haul! I better see you have that phone case on. I’m not joking. And you better eat the damn cake!’ Her note said.
“Cake?” He asked and saw a small box inside the big box with the merch. 
He took it out and opened it to reveal a small Kumamon cake. His smile got wider as he read the note she wrote on top of the lid of the cake.
Tumblr media
‘You BETTER eat this...I made it with love! Love I tell you! Don’t tell the guys, they’ve been begging me to bake again since those Valentine’s Day cupcakes, lol. I baked it, and Hayoon helped me decorate it. She has more of an artistic touch with baking. I may want to do this trend for the others’ birthdays too. It all depends on how much you like it.’
Yoongi felt something in his eyes as he shook his head, clearing his throat. He felt his tears dry up thanks to his dry eyes but overall, he was moved. He made a mental note to do this trend for her on her birthday, for sure.
“Hello Kitty is what she likes...” He thought out loud.
All of this was so...generous and kind of her. It made him feel so appreciated and loved. He checked out the merch in the box, which consisted of a black Kumamon shirt, a Kumamon phone case, a small plush and much more merch that he’d be pleased to have in his room.
Pulling out his phone, he gave her a quick text.
Yoongi: Swing by the studio when you can
While he waited for her, he took a photo of his haul and tweets, ‘Smartie is something else...I’m very thankful and overwhelmed with joy. #SUGA’
ARMY would immediately tweet, wishing him a happy birthday and talking about Jen giving him the haul of gifts.
‘YoonJen is so precious.’
‘I wish my friends would do something like that for me. I’m jealous’
‘She really made him a Kumamon cake tho! I can’t! This is making me cry’
‘Why are there tears in my eyes?’
‘Wishing him another year of success and happiness!’
‘She has got to be one of the kindest souls ever. She went out her way for him on his birthday.’
‘Wait she actually baked that for him!? OMG I ship it!’
‘AWWWWWW!’
‘KUMAMON!! Of course!’
Soon after, the members would tweet about it, instantly once they saw the photo of the cake.
‘WAIT SHE MADE THAT FOR YOU!? Where’s my cake!? #JIMIN’
‘I’m feeling some type of way... #JK’
'I want some!! #JHOPE'
‘Too cute! #V’
‘Wait she BAKED!? AGAIN!? Where were we!? #JIN’
Yoongi chuckled at their responses and tweets ‘Be jealous #SUGA’
‘So...you aren’t going to share?? #RM’
10 minutes later she arrived. “Yo! I see you got the stuff! Happy birthday!” She beamed.
As soon as he saw her walk in, he immediately got out of his seat and pulled her into his arms. As he wrapped his arms around her for a firm hug, she was taken by surprise and stood there, shocked.
“Thank you, Jennifer.” He murmured against her.
The sound of her name caught her by surprise. He only called her smartie these days, and to hear him say her full name, made her believe that this was something that he was extremely happy about.
She let out a chuckle and wrapped her arms around him, squeezing him tight. 
“Of course.” She released him. “Oh, and another thing, I wanted to tell you that I’m ready to show you my skills on the launchpad.” She pointed it out.
He responded with a proud smile and gestured for her to sit with him. 
“But it could wait, I mean, you sure you wanna work on your birthday? Don’t you want to chill?” she added.
“My work is never done and besides, I’m in a working mood. How about you consider this as your other gift to me? Show me.”
“All righty.” She set everything up. 
Yoongi listened and watched intently as her fingers moved skillfully on the launchpad. She decided to perform BTS’ Tomorrow since she’s been playing around with it, and he wasn’t disappointed. There was something there and he just stared at her even after she finished. He wasn’t even aware she finished until she spoke. 
“Well...what do you think?”
“I’m gonna have a talk with Namjoon, Hobi and Slow Rabbit.”
“Why?”
“I think you should consider working behind the scenes with us for our albums. There’s something there.”
“I kind of low-key wanted to.”
“We’ll take it one day at a time. For now, your homework is to practice Cypher PT 3. And without Tae. Good God, I don’t wanna hear him rap it.” He sighed and rubbed his temples.
She laughed. “I’ll try my best not to practice around him. I do think you should consider-“
“No.”
“But Tae would be so enthusiastic-“
“No.”
“He’s so eager-“
“No.”
“He has passi-“
“No.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Boo!”
“Yeah, yeah...By the way, after we have some free time during our upcoming I Need U promotions, we’re gonna have a date.” He announced.
“What’s the dress code?”
“A-game, don’t forget the sneakers. We have a date on the court.” He smirked competitively
“I’m down. Keep me posted.”
“And smartie?”
“Yeah?”
“Thank you for everything.”
“Always.”
---
During Namjoon’s Do You MV filming, the members decided to surprise him when he was on break. They walked in with bags of chicken, while Namjoon sat on the couch on his phone.
“Hello!” Jimin shouted.
“YO! YO! YO! YO! YOOOOOOOO! We have arrived!” Jen happily yelled, walking in with the rest of the members like a hurricane. The rest of the members shout randomly as Namjoon, covered his ears, whining. Jen let out a laugh. 
Looks like the room won’t be quiet anymore.
“Hey leader, oppa’s here!” Tae beamed.
“The chicken has arrived!” Yoongi announced.
“You look good, that outfit is on point,” Jen told him as she greeted him with a hug. As they all sat down, getting situated, they discussed how nice Namjoon looked on video while they munched on the chicken. “Is it weird shooting alone?”
“Very. But now that you guys are here, maybe I spoke too soon, it’s so loud now.” He joked with a laugh.
“Well, you look cool. I think I can speak for everyone that we can’t wait to see what you have been working on.”
After the break, the members watch with Namjoon, clips of the filmed MV. Jen began dancing to the song with the other members.
“He’s so cool,” Jimin said proudly.
“He is going to do really well, I believe in him. He’s going to be great.” Yoongi guaranteed.
“I’m so proud of this guy, he’s worked so hard. I’m a proud baby sister.” She placed a hand over her heart as she looked at the Bangtan Bomb camera.
----
Finally, on April 5th, BTS began their jacket shooting in Gyeongju, for their upcoming album. Jen still hadn’t had her hair dyed yet, but her hair was styled straight with bangs this time.
Recently, her hair began to get damaged because sometimes the stylists wouldn’t know what to do with her African American hair, putting way too much heat. The last straw was when she noticed her hair breaking off, so she talked with Big Hit, asking if she could use one of Angelina’s stylists, who would come to Korea at times to do her hair more protectively, or even do her own hair when she could. She had to speak up on her hair, she kept quiet for too long.
She was happy they accepted her request and even went a step further to make the stylists learn about taking care of her hair so this wouldn't happen again. Jennie was grateful they were mindful of her hair. She did not want to go bald anytime soon.
Tumblr media
For the jacket shooting, she wore a white blouse with blue jeans, along with a black hat on her head. They greeted the director and began shooting at the beach for Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa pt.1. 
She sat in between Rapmon and Jin as photos were snapped away, bringing off a more mature vibe this time with their new concept.
“Jesus...for April, it sure is cold. But when you’re near the water, it’s always colder. I should’ve worn a heavier jacket.” She mentioned.
“I’ll keep you warm!” Tae wrapped his arms around her from behind, having the blanket he had on his back, wrap around her too.
“Why are you so warm!?” She exclaimed as they walked near the ocean.
When everyone gathered around, Jennie shivered violently. 
“Wh-why.” She shivered while Tae placed a big jacket on her, holding her close. “I don’t do cold!”
He grabbed her hands and began to blow his hot breath on them, in hopes to soothe her. He took great care of her to make sure she was warm. She was grateful for his kind gestures.
After waiting as each member took their concept photos, Jennie and Jin met up for their photos together as they stood back to back. Jin looked ahead while Jen turned her head to the side as if looking back at him. She then wrapped her arms around herself, as the photos were snapped away, looking serious.
As they took more photos, Jimin and Jungkook watched them from a distance. 
“Wah...so pretty.” Jimin admired Jennie’s visuals.
“Very,” Jungkook murmured.
“So...Jungkookie...I wanted to tell you about Ennie’s massage skills.” Jimin decided to tease him, smiling mischievously. “She gave me the most amazing massage a few days ago. It was great!”
“Is that so?” Jungkook poked his cheek with his tongue, trying to ignore him.
“Yeah, her hands do wonders. I didn’t know she was that talented. It was so relaxing.”
“Uh huh...”
“Have you ever gotten a massage from her? You’re missing out. I was the first one to get a massage from her too, I feel so special.”
“Shut up, Hyung...”
“Hehehehe. Someone’s mad~.”
“I’m not mad!” He grumbled.
“We were in her room, too-“ Jimin groaned in pain when he was suddenly punched in the arm.
Jungkook stormed off. “I want a massage...” He grumbled to himself, while Jimin walked after him, laughing hysterically.
He really fell for it.
After Jen was done with her photos with Jin, she cheered. 
“Woo!” She opened her palms, raising them high as Jin high fived her. He places his palms down as she mer his hands for a low five, and then they jump up, bumping chests. 
“SeokJen in the house!” She performed his traffic dance with him.
“Hey, this is a great warm up! I’m feeling warm!” He laughed.
She continued shooting photos alone, walking around, with the ocean in the background, looking angelic, yet mature. Losing the baby fat in her face, gained her more of a mature look with this concept.
After the shooting, she walked past Taehyung and Jungkook goofing around, as Kookie attempted to juggle with heat packs. Acting mischievous, she slapped the heat packs that were tossed in the air by him and continued to innocently walk away.
“Now you’re going to pay.” He dropped the other heat packs and ran after her.
“Wait! Wait!” She yelled in panic, trying to run for her life. Instantly he grabbed her from behind, lifting her up over his shoulder. “Tae! Help!”
“Why did she even bother to run?” Taehyung laughed.
When they go inside, they continue their shooting in a room. Jen was filmed in the bathroom with the bathroom mirror fogged up as she wrote ‘He’ll change’ on it. Then she shot photos with Namjoon as he sat on the toilet and her in the tub without any water in it.
When she finished up, she watched Tae and Jungkook shoot photos on the bed and ended up giggling at Jungkook dozing off. “He’s so out of it. It’s so cute.”
On April 11th, BTS began their I Need U filming. For the music video, Jen kept on a white butterfly necklace throughout the entire filming, as she first wore a black pajama shirt with pants.
She stood in a bedroom with a Korean actor near her age, portraying her abusive boyfriend. She faced the camera, questioning what her concept was. “My concept is an abusive relationship. I play a naïve teenage girl who is infatuated with this boy but he’s not all who he seems to be. She left her family just to be with him, too. It’s very sad. Her boyfriend will begin to get more aggressive when things don’t go his way. She’ll even be in denial of what he’s been doing, too.”
“She unexpectedly gets hit by him and he’ll say sorry and say it won’t happen again," she added. "A lot of abusive couples go through that. She’ll foolishly forgive him, believing that he’ll change. And then he’ll end up cheating on her with her best friend. Ah...so, grimy. I thought it was cliché when I was told what I’ll be doing but honestly, you’d be surprised how much this stuff happens. This stuff happens in real life. A guy can be abusive but also a woman can be abusive too and I feel as though there isn’t enough recognition for men out there getting abused by women. It could be emotional, not just physical. They may think it’s funny to see a guy get abused by a chick but freak out when a chick is abused by a guy. I feel as though both parties should be treated as serious matters.”
Jen stood with the actor, hearing the director’s instructions. 
“You’ll barge in. Yell at him for forgetting your birthday. We just need shots of you arguing, so improvise, say whatever works.” The director instructed. “Then he’s going to grab you.”
The male actor grabbed Jen’s arms and shook her softly, getting the feel of what he was supposed to do. The two of them end up laughing.
“The actor is such a nice guy, so it’s going to be interesting working with him because he’s so nice.” She said on camera. “I think it’ll be difficult for me to think of what to say in this situation since I’ve never experienced it.”
“And...action!”
Jen stormed into the bedroom, watching her boyfriend playing video games. 
Disgust was shown on her features as she sternly asked, “Where were you!?”
Her boyfriend sighed and shot her a dirty look. “What are you screaming about?”
“I said where were you?” She snatched the controller out of his hands and tossed it to the side. “I was waiting for you, how the heck could you forget my birthday!?”
He stood up and got in her face. “What the hell was that for!?”
“One special day and you weren’t there, it’s like you don’t even care at all! I’m always there for you, why can’t you give more to me like I do for you?! This happens all the time!” She exclaimed.
“Cut!” The director announced. “Jennie, this time say that you’re done. And we’ll get into the grabbing sequence.”
Jennie nodded as the actor smiled at her. “I’m sorry if I hurt you.” He told her.
“I’m sure I can take it.” She reassured him.
“Action!”
“You know what? I can’t do this anymore. I’m done.” She turned around but he roughly grabbed her wrist, forcefully turning her back to face him. Suddenly his large arms grabbed a hold of her, shaking her as she flinched.
“You are NOT going to leave me! You’re nothing without, do you hear me!?” He shouted as she started to whimper in fear.
“Stop it!” She shouted, trying to push him off. “Get off of me!” She finally shoved him off and hastily backed up. “What is wrong with you!?”
He grabbed a beer bottle and threw it near her, on the ground, making her yelp as she started running away. 
“Get back here!” He shouted and ran after her.
The cameras quickly followed them. Jen managed to run into the bathroom and lock the door as a camera was filming her from inside the bathroom. A frightened facial expression was shown on her face as she watched the door shake violently from him banging his fists.
“OPEN THE DOOR!” His scream caused Jennie to flinch involuntarily.
His acting was off the charts. She was genuinely scared as her chest rose up and down at a quick pace. She let out a shriek when he finally kicked open the door.
“Please no...” She whimpered, backing up in fear. He slammed the door shut in front of the camera, as the scene only had the door shown.
“Cut! Good.” The director praised.
“You all right?” He smiled apologetically.
“Your acting is no joke. I was actually scared.” She praised.
After those shots, Jen sat down to get her makeup done, as the rest of the members began their shooting. The stylists had made sure Jen’s eyeliner and mascara weren’t waterproof so when she cried, it could run and be messy. Her cheek looked like she had been backslapped in the face.
Once she was done, the director let her sit in the shower with her knees up to her chest, with water running down on her. She had to cry for this one, so it took her a few moments before the tears began to flow. After they got enough shots of that, they led her to stare at her reflection in the mirror, examining the bruise on her face. She frowned, looking hurt that he would put his hands on her.
“I have never been heartbroken in my life, yet, so I hope my acting is believable for the cheating scene,” Jennie said on camera. “I’m glad I’m doing this cheating scenario, coming up. I feel like in your youth, you will get heartbroken and it’s a part of life. Whether it’s dating, one sided love, death, or any struggle. But overcoming it...I think that’s a beautiful thing.”
Jen had changed into a grey sweater and jeans, her face not bruised anymore. She pondered how she would act if a guy cheated on her in real life. 
“I honestly have no idea what I might do if someone cheats on me. If I had my bat from Danger, I could beat him with it...but I’d like not to get a record.” She grinned innocently.
“I need you two to improvise.” The director said. He decided to let them have more freedom in this scene. “Bang on his chest, yell, scream at him.”
“Can I slap you?” She asked straightforwardly, earning a laugh from the actor and those in the background.
“I don’t mind.”
Getting in position, she stood outside the hallway of the bedroom. Exhaling, she thought of her sister, Vienna. She was cheated on back in high school. It made her never want to date again and just hook up with guys instead of a commitment. She’ll never forget that day of her yelling and screaming at him on the phone, as Alani tried to calm her down.
Jungkook and Jimin were watching her film behind the cameras. They were impressed at how well she was doing, despite her beginning nervousness with the concept. Jungkook had clenched his fists when he saw the actor grab her, previously, feeling protective.
“Go Jennie!” Taehyung cheered her on. Her sad expression changed into a bright smile as she shot him a finger heart.
“Action!”
Jen barged into the bedroom to find a girl in her boyfriend’s lap, making out. She stood there, frozen, as she watched them with disappointment and hurt in her face.
“My heart...” Jimin murmured as he watched her broken facial expression. 
Jungkook felt something in his chest when he saw the hurt in her eyes. It was something he never wanted to see.
Jennie scoffed at the sight, shaking her head as she made her way out of the room. Storming down the hallway, her boyfriend quickly followed her, trying to catch her.
“W-wait!” He shouted. “It’s not what it looks like-“ He’s cut off by a strong slap in the face. 
The slap was heard throughout the room as all the attention was on the two lovers. The sound of the slap even made Jungkook and Jimin flinch as they watched with interest. 
Jennie began to violently bang on his chest, trying to hit him as he attempted to stop her. “Why!? Why would you do this to me!?” She screamed as tears began to appear in her eyes. He attempted to hug her but she fought out of his arms. 
“Get off of me!” She screamed and shoved him away. She stared at him with disbelief as he ran a hand through his hair. 
“Jennie...look-“
“My best friend though!? My best friend!? I knew this would happen!”
“If you knew this was going to happen why did you come back to me!? Why didn’t you just leave!?”
“Because I love you! And I’m so damn foolish to love you but I can’t help it! You’re supposed to be my everything, my heart, my soul!” Her voice began to sound raspy from the anger. “I’ve been loyal to you since day one! Day one! Your ride or die! Your support! Your love and you gonna do me like this!?” Her voice cracked.
Jungkook stared at her as she acted, wanting to walk in the shot right then and there to pull her in for a hug. Jimin glanced at him and placed a hand on his shoulder. 
“It’s just acting, Jungkookie. She’s okay.” He reassured.
“Y-yeah. I know...But I would never do that to her...”
Jimin smiled at his statement. “Oh really? Tell me more.”
“I-ignore what I said, hyung.”
“Sounds to me like you-“
“I think it’s your turn to film, hyung!”
Meanwhile, with Jennie, she wasn’t expecting to tear up so soon, but she got so into the acting, that it worked as the tears streamed down her cheeks. 
“Why? Why would you do this to me? I have never done you wrong! I forgave you for hitting me, I forgave you for missing my birthday but this? My best friend?! I’ve had enough!”
“Wow.” Yoongi looked on with Namjoon.
“I sincerely thought this was real, the way she was screaming at him.” Namjoon glanced at the camera filming their reactions.
After her shots were done, she checked out how it looked from the screen. 
“Ah, I feel like I could’ve done better but as I’m watching myself since they only want the video, not the sound of us arguing, it looks passionate. I’m proud of the results.” She mentioned.
Filming continued late at night. In Hongdae, shooting a scene playing around while eating burritos. The members laugh hysterically as they toss food at each other. Jen stole a bite out of Jin’s burrito, and he shoved her burrito in her face.
“Hey!”
“HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!” His trademark laugh filled her ears. “I didn’t think it would be that bad, I’m sorry.”
The next day, at night, Jin is filmed driving a car with Suga in the passenger seat. 
“I’m trusting you with my life.” Jennie teased as she sat in the back with Jimin, Hobi and Jungkook. 
Tae and Rapmon were watching while Jin drove in circles. Everyone decided to go home while Jungkook prepared to film his individual scene in an alley in Itaewon. Jennie decided to stay with him, instead of going back to the dorm like the others.
“I think Jungkook has the saddest story in I Need U. First, he gets beaten up and then ran over by a car. What has he done to the world?” She questioned on camera. “I’m a little worried to see him get beat up.”
“You needn’t.” He said behind her with a smile. “I’m very happy that she decided to stay with me. The hyungs decided to leave. They abandoned me. But not her.”
Jen watched in the background as Jungkook was filmed bumping into some bad guys, played by their managers. When she watched the first scene with him from the camera, she nodded in approval. “Nice job, Kookie.”
She watched Jungkook stroll down the alleyway until he was shoved harshly against the security gate, making a loud sound. 
She cringed at the sight. “Oh dear...”
After filming that scene, Jungkook had his makeup done to look like he had gotten beaten up as they filmed him getting tossed against the gate once more.
“This is intense,” Jennie murmured. 
She was impressed at his acting, he made it believable with his facial expressions. But she had the urge to hug him as she watched him get tossed around. 
When was this over? She didn’t want to see him like that.
After his filming was done, she rushed up to him, pulling him in for a hug. 
“Why do you gotta make things so realistic? That was intense.” She exclaimed as he smiled at her concern.
“Did I worry you?” He teased, feeling happy that she cared so much about him.
Before heading back to the dorm, the two of them decided to go get something to eat because Jen was craving French fries and chose to get a big plate of them so they could share.
“You have salt on your lips.” She pointed out, taking a napkin to gently wipe his lips. Jungkook stared at her with lingering eyes at the closeness.
“There. It was bothering me.” She looked up, meeting his intense gaze. He looked away, feeling his face warm up after being caught staring. “Do I have something on my face?”
“Nah, it’s just that you have pretty eyes.”
“That’s a first.” She smiled.
“No one has never said that before?”
“Not really. They’re just brown. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.”
“Well, I think it’s a big deal.” He countered. “Let’s go on a compliment spree, back and forth.”
“All right. Your bunny smile is really cute, I’ll admit.”
He flashed her a grin. “You have a nice voice.”
“Your singing voice is very sweet.”
“I saw the video Hobi filmed on Twitter. You dance well. Way different from before.”
“Better than you?” She teased.
“Let’s not get that far, I’m the Golden Maknae, after all.”
“Blah, blah...” She grabbed a handful of fries and shoved them in his mouth. “Eat and shut your face.”
He laughed at her. “Do you think I’ve become manlier?”
“Hm...” She examined him. “Nope!”
“Y-yah!” He exclaimed while she giggled at his shocked expression.
After more chatting, they were down to the end of their meal. "Last piece. Who gets it?” She asked.
“Staring contest?” He offered.
“You’re on.” She leaned in, taking him off guard as he gulped. “Nervous? All you gotta do is blink and I’ll back away~.”
“Never. I’m not losing.” He kept his eyes open, widening them as he stared at her.
Out of nowhere, he grabbed the last fry, shoving it in his mouth before she could comprehend what he had done.
“Wow, Kookie...really?”
“Hehehehe.”

Tumblr media
For the next day of filming, Jennie put on a white dress, black heels and red lipstick. “I look old...” She checked out her outfit. “I own this dress, it was in my closet for some time. Colors play a key role for me in HYYH. As you can see, I’m wearing white. What does white stand for? Purity. Red, well, it’s more of an intense color than white. It can mean aggression, anger and violence. Keep that in mind for the future.”
She was briefly filmed sitting at the dining room table alone, with a knife on the table, contemplating in irritation. She wanted to hurt him. Hurt him for treating her so wrong. For betraying her. For hitting her, everything that he had done wrong to her, she wanted to hurt him for.
She stood up, walking around the table until she heard the door open and close to reveal her boyfriend. With her back to him, she glanced at the knife as the camera panned down to her hand grabbing a hold of it, ending the shot as a cliffhanger.
After she finished the individual shot, she bowed. “I am a hot mess in this music video.” She declared with a laugh. “Like they say, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!”
----
A few days later, the members decided to take care of some business, doing their respective activities for the day which left the 97 Liners in the dorm to chill. 
Jennie happily chose this time to watch a show that Angelina wanted her to check out, while Jungkook played video games in the living room. As Jungkook gamed, he overheard her talking on the phone as she left her room to walk to the kitchen.
“GIRL! I just finished the eighth episode.” He heard her say and paused as she listened to Angelina speak to her on the other line.
She went through the cabinets as she began to speak again. “This show is crazy, Angie! So many plot twists, I dunno who to trust, hahah!” She grabbed a bag of chips and poured them into a bowl. “Uh huh, yeah that part messed me up...she’s such a bitch, I hope she gets what’s coming to her...But oh my God, you warned me but I wasn’t expecting him to look that good. He’s so sexy, though! His muscles? That grin? Lord Jesus, I’m deceased!”
Jungkook let out a chuckle at her fangirling in her Native tongue. When she was back in her room, he continued to game for another hour until he decided to approach her door.
“Who?” She questioned at the sudden knocking.
“Jeon Cena.”
“Will I be Attitude Adjusted if I let you in?”
He smirked at her statement. “No, Milady. I come in peace.”
“Enter my realm.”
He grinned and walked into her room, shutting the door behind him as he saw her watching some American show with her laptop connected to an HDMI cord on her TV. Her hair was in a messy bun and she wore her Hello Kitty pajama shirt and shorts. He thought she looked cute.
Jen smiled brightly and paused her show to give him her full attention. “Hey!”
“Hey. You free to talk?”
“Yeah. What’s up?”
He crossed his arms, deciding to ask her something that’s been on his mind all day. The sound of annoyance in his voice was heard as he asked, “So, you gave Jimin a massage?”
“Huh? Oh, yeah. He complained about his shoulder. I offered.” She shrugged.
‘And not me?’ He wanted to ask, clenching his jaw.
“One of my cousins is a massage therapist and taught me some things when I was younger.” He heard her continue her statement. “It helped me loosen up my muscles when I first began to dance professionally. Now I’m used to the soreness. I told Jimin about the fun fact, and he asked.”
“That’s...actually what I wanted to talk to you about.” He looked down at his feet, trying to figure out how to ask her. “C-can I...get a massage from you?”
She let out a soft laugh. “It’ll cost you.”
Looking up at her, he nodded as his face began to heat up. “Ah, okay. I need to get my wallet.” He turned around.
She laughed at his actions. He didn’t catch her sarcasm. “Get on the bed. I’m messing with you.”
Her statement caused him to reveal his bunny smile on his features as he eagerly sat on her bed.
‘That was easier than I thought. I should stop overthinking.’ He happily thought as she turned her show back on.
He watched her get off the bed, to walk over to her dresser. He couldn’t help but stare at her bare legs in her shorts. Her working out with him has been paying off because he could see the definition in her legs. It was safe to say that she had one of the nicest legs that he had ever seen and wondered why she didn’t show them off more.
‘I should stop looking.’ He turned away, to look at the show on her TV instead. 
After a few moments, the temptation got to him as he couldn’t help but slowly drift his eyes back to her legs, inching higher this time.
“Where?” She had asked him while searching for her massage stuff in the drawer as he kept staring at the back of her legs.
‘A lot of places, actually...’ He thought to himself, averting his eyes from going higher than her thick thighs. ‘Don’t stare...don’t creep her out. Don’t stare at her ass, Jungkook, what are you doing?’
“Hello? Earth to Kook?” Jen had turned around to face him, catching his attention.
“Y-yeah?”
“I asked where did you need a massage?”
“Oh. Right. My back.”
“Got it.” She turned back around to gather up what she needed.
Jungkook stood up from the bed, with his back to her, reaching behind his neck to grab the collar of his shirt. Pulling his shirt up, he took it off and tossed it on her bed. All that was left on his upper body was the short bunny necklace around his neck that she had gotten him for Christmas.
Jennie turned around with bottles of massage oils in her hands. When she caught a glimpse of his muscular back she widened her eyes and accidentally dropped her supplies. The sudden clutter of noise caught Jungkook's attention as he turned around abruptly, giving her a full view of his muscular torso.
“You all right?” He asked, walking up to her.
“Ye-ah, y-yeah, just fine.” She kneeled to quickly pick up her belongings, placing them on the bed.
Jungkook watched her as he replayed her statement in his head.
‘Did she...stutter?’ He pondered as he watched her avert her eyes from his chest, trying not to look anywhere near his way. 
He fought the urge to smile as he appreciated the gesture. The fact that she tried not to stare filled him with pride. He’s worked hard for them, after all. And only getting muscular as the months go by.
‘I’m making her nervous...’ He confirmed.
Normally it would be her that made him nervous. But now that the tables have turned, he wanted to enjoy it while it lasted. 
“You need help with anything?” He decided to get closer to her again to see her reaction. 
She instantly shook her head and took a step back, desperately trying not to look down his chest, keeping her eyes on his face.
“Nope, nope. I gotta get something from the kitchen real quick. Just hang tight for a moment.”
“Okay.”
Once she left, he smirked, feeling good about himself. ‘She’s cute when she’s nervous like that.’ He thought as he waited for her.
When she came back, she had found Smarties in the kitchen and placed them on her nightstand. 
Facing him, she looked up into his eyes, still trying her best not to let her eyes wander. “I’m no pro, I only know a few basics, but it’s more than enough to help me with the aches and pains. I highly suggest a hot bath or shower to loosen up the muscles.”
“Got it.” He nodded curtly, walking over to the bed.
Before laying down, he decided to stretch deeply, raising his arms up in the air. He let out a soft moan as he stretched and discreetly peeked over to see if she was staring. He was not disappointed at the result.
When she accidentally glanced at him stretching, watching his muscles tighten, she quickly looked away.
‘Oh, oh no. No, no, no. Jen no. You shouldn’t be looking.’ She thought nervously.
She’d never seen him shirtless like this before and it was making her feel on edge. It caught her off guard since she wasn’t used to seeing him like that. They were comfortable around each other but something about him today made her nervous. But not in a bad way as she felt like her face was on fire. 
Was she beginning to blush? Thankfully her dark skin didn’t give it away so easily.
“Everything okay, baby girl?”
He didn’t know where he got his confidence from, but somehow he ended up asking her, as she didn’t hear the teasing in his voice. He felt no nervousness at all and seemed to run on his confidence because the sight of her being nervous around him for the first time boosted his ego. Maybe she thought he was manly now, after asking her so many times in the past. 
It felt satisfying.
“Huh? Y-yeah, everything’s fine.” She decided to fix her messy bun, turning her back to him. 
Any way to get away from the sight. They were getting older, so it should be natural that things like this would happen, right?
“Actually, can you check something before you do my back? I think I’m feeling a little sore on my arm.” He made up a white lie, to see her reaction.
She closed her eyes for a moment, attempting to contain her composure.
‘Oh, Lord have mercy.’ She thought as she turned to him. “Your arm?”
“Uh huh. If that’s okay.” He flashed her a smile and took a seat on the edge of the bed.
‘Say no. Say no, right now. Don’t do it, don’t you do it, do NOT do it.’ She tried to warn herself. 
“A-all right, show me.” She took a seat next to him, having no choice but to reluctantly turn her eyes to his bare torso. 
He flexed his arm for her, in a slow manner, revealing the definition of his arm muscles.
‘Oh no, I should not be in this position, right now. I shouldn’t be staring but his muscles are really...’ She ended her thought when he gently grabbed her wrist, feeling the warmth of his hand.
She watched him place her palm on his bare shoulder and he slowly ran it down his bicep, making sure she could feel his strength.
“Riiiiiiiight here.” He declared. “Maybe I stretched it out too much? What do you think?”
“Um...” She trailed off, running her hand on his strong arm. “You really feel tense here.” She stated as he watched her intently.
“Am I? Well, could you...also, massage that as well? I would really appreciate it.”
“Yeah, um, let’s begin with your back first. Lay down. On your stomach.” 
She got off the bed. He fulfilled her request and she sat next to his body. Thanks to him lying on his stomach, she felt less nervous but still felt some type of way about his muscular back.
“Never thought I’d be doing this to you. Jimin runs his mouth. But I like taking care of you, so I can’t complain. You’ve been my dance partner and personal trainer in the gym. I’ve been your nurse, best friend and massage therapist. What’s next on the agenda?”
“I have a couple of titles in mind...” He murmured to himself as he heard her open a bottle of the massage oil.
“I’m gonna need you to communicate with me while I do this, okay? Tell me what feels good and what doesn’t. And the areas you want me to focus on.”
“Got it.”
“And you can ignore me if I end up making random comments, I’m still fixated on Empire.”
“What’s that?”
“The show I’ve been watching. That’s why I was on the phone with Angelina. I blame her.” She poured the oil on her hands. “This’ll be a little cold, but you’ll warm up once your blood starts circulating.”
She ran her hands over his back, straight up and back down as he sighed in content. She smiled at his reaction. At least he was relaxed.
“Did you...do this to Jimin?” He suddenly asked.
“Nah, he wasn’t on my bed or anything. Nothing like this.”
‘Did this pabo lie to me to get me jealous so I could ask her?’ He pondered in annoyance. ‘I’m going to kill him.’
Jen multitasked while glancing at her show and listening to his reactions as she began to rub in circular motions. Jungkook thought her hands felt like heaven. His back was sore from all the dance practices and was grateful she was there to help him out.
“You’re tense, Kookie. Like all over. What’s on your mind?”
“A lot of things.”
“Care to share?”
“Ah, just making sure this comeback is a good one.” He let out another contented sigh.
“I swear, your muscles weren’t this big.” She thought out loud. “I’m not used to seeing you shirtless, so it caught me by surprise.”
“Do you like them?”
“They’re nice. Impressive. Hard work is paying off. I think I’m toning up too, what do you think?”
“Your legs are really nice. I think you should show them off more.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Maybe.”
Suddenly, he let out a soft groan and she stopped.
“Are you okay? Did I hurt you?” She asked in alarm when she pressed into his muscle tissue with more pressure.
“Nah. Keep doing that. It feels nice.”
“Lemme know if it hurts.” She continued what she was doing and made sure to massage his arm like he wanted as well.
After 30 minutes, she noticed that he had fallen asleep and his breathing had gotten slower. She let him rest on her bed, placing a blanket on him. Later, she heard a cute bark and saw their dog Tony trying to jump on the bed. 
Jungkook and Jennie finally agreed to name their dog Tony. It was cute and suited him well. Iron Man won this round but the next thing they got that required a name was going to be Captain America related.
Letting out a giggle, she picked Tony up and placed him on the bed. He went right to Jungkook, walking on his back, curling up into a ball to rest.
Jennie smiled at the cute sight and decided to take a photo for the adorable memory. For a moment, she watched as Jungkook slept and started to run a hand through his soft hair, feeling elated. She then turned her attention back to her show, making sure the volume wasn't too loud to disturb his rest. 
She went through two more episodes while he continued to sleep. 
“No way!” She whispered in a hushed yell, watching another plot twist in the show. 
She glanced over at Jungkook who moved in his sleep. With Tony not on the bed anymore, Jungkook was sleeping on his back now with the cover still on him. She let out a soft chuckle at how cute he looked as he slept. The way his mouth was open, and how he looked like a baby. She was happy that he was resting. He and Jimin had been going to the dance studio more often as the comeback neared. She didn’t want him to work himself too hard.
She affectionately ran her hand through his soft hair again, checking up on him to make sure he was still fine. Then, her phone vibrated and rang at a low volume, interrupting her thoughts as she checked the Caller ID.
Jin.
“What’s up?” She answered.
“Hey, Jennie. The boys are on their way back, and should be back at the dorm in less than five minutes.” He said, causing her to almost drop her phone, hastily getting off the bed.
“Oh, really? Okay!” She managed to say as she looked back at Jungkook. 
She needed to get him out of her room.
ASAP.
She did not want to see what would happen if the guys found him, in her bed, shirtless, asleep. And it didn’t look any better with her hair disheveled. It would give the wrong impression, and they wouldn’t be able to hear the end of it. And the way the guys’ minds like to be dirty, she would like to avoid their teasing at all costs, and she knew Jungkook would want that too.
“I’ll be home soon, at the store. I wanted to ask if you needed anything?”
“Um, yeah, actually, could I get some more pads?” She requested. 
Ever since he caught her when she had her period accident, Jin had been looking out for her, ever since, buying her anything she needed to make her time of the month as painless as possible.
“Of course. I’ll buy two packs. See you when I get home.”
“Thank you!” She said her goodbyes and hung up, tossing her phone on the bed. “Okay.” She turned to the sleeping bunny.
How was she going to wake him up?
“Kook, wake up.” She called out.
No answer.
Sitting on her bed, she started to shake him but got no response. Of all times, he wanted to be a heavy sleeper he chose now. But she was the one who put him to sleep anyway, so she should be praising her hand skills.
It made her happy to get him to relax. The way he trusted her to massage him even though she wasn't a professional. She enjoyed these moments with him.
She shook him more roughly. “Kook, wake up. You gotta get out of my room, they’re coming back soon!”
She sighed at his lack of response. “You mean to tell me I need to pinch him like Jin?” She pondered as she tried to look for an alternative method. Looking around her bed, she grabbed one of her pillows.
“Wake up!” She started hitting his face with the pillow. 
Waking up and realizing that he was getting hit with the pillow, he grabbed a hold of her wrists and pinned her down on the bed, making her shriek in surprise. 
“Oh, hey, you’re awake.” She looked up at him. 
“What was that for?” He asked, sleepily.
“Well, I’ve been trying to wake you up for a while. The guys are coming back. You are in my room. You are shirtless in my room. And right now, you are on top of me, shirtless, in my room. If they see us like this...we’re done for. Let’s not give them something to tease us about for months. And if Jin sees us...” She cringed at the thought
“Yeah, we’re dead.” He let out a chuckle and got off of her. 
He helped her up and grabbed his shirt, putting it on. Both getting off the bed, they try to straighten up, so it can look like she did not give him a massage.
“Wait! Your shirt!” She called out in panic.
“What about it?”
“It’s inside out!” She hastily took it off him, since it was inside out, and turned it back and placed it back on him. “Wait, we need to fix your hair!” She started messing around with it, trying her best to make it look neat as he laughed at her attempts. “This isn’t funny!”
“It kind of is.”
“Okay, now go. Play video games, act normal.” She pushed him out of her room 
"All right, all right. But one more thing,"
"What's up?"
"Thank you for the massage. It felt great,"
She smiled, "Of course. Whenever you need one just ask. I'm here,"
"I'll keep that in mind," he was happy about the offer as he shut her door and went back to playing his game.
A minute later, the members made their way back to the dorm, while Jen continued to watch her show. 
“Jennie! Here are your things.” Jin came into her room, handing her the bag.
“Much appreciated.”
“So, anything interesting happened while we were gone?”
“Nah, I’m catching up on some American shows while Kook is gaming like usual. Same ol’ same ol’.” She smiled.

Balancing the Scales
Author’s Note: To the Anon that requested this, I am SO SORRY it took me this long, but I hope you like it!!
Summary: A misunderstanding between you and your boyfriend of 10 months threatens to destroy what has been so carefully constructed. Is a patch possible or will the castle crumble?
Pairing:  idol!Jimin x animalshelterworker!reader
Rating: 18+
Genre:  light smut, fluff, established relationship, oneshot, angst, idol au
Word Count: 1,877
Warnings: 18+ MINORS DNI light biting, passionate grabbing, mentions of sex,
It's just a typical day at the animal rescue shelter that you work at when your life changes forever. You are determined that your eyes are playing tricks on you, but you know that smile anywhere!
Your bias from BTS, Jimin, is at the front desk asking where to sign in so he can look at the dogs. Once you shake off your freak-out fog, you practically push your coworker out of the way. She's Namjoon biased anyway; she can deal, right?
Once he fills out the sign-in form, you volunteer to show him around the facility while he tells you his pet preferences. The whole time, you feel like you are vibrating with excitement, but you keep your cool the entire time despite your ARMY heart threatening to give out any moment.
As you head up to the front, he tells you that there's such a good selection that he needs to think it over before he says, "Thanks for all of your help, y/n. Will you be here tomorrow? I don't really feel like re-explaining everything to someone else you know?".
This time, you aren’t able to prevent the flush that appears on your cheeks. Because even though it's work-related, Jimin CHOSE YOU; it's a step towards your dream so yay! You fervently nod your head, ignoring your coworker side-eyeing you.
You know you’re supposed to be off tomorrow, but you will be there no matter what; you have been in love with this man for years, so you will show up unpaid in uniform if it means you can be his little helper.
As soon as he leaves, your coworker agrees to let you pose as though you are on shift, and if he needs access you can't do since you aren't on the clock, she will help you out. You rush home after your shift to ensure everything is ready and clean at a good time so you can be well rested.
For the first time in your life, you wake up a half hour before your alarm from anticipation! You get ready and go in after getting some coffee and a breakfast sandwich at the café nearby.
After waiting for what felt like forever (maybe 2 hours), Jimin shows up with two coffees, which your nerves didn't need but you will accept of course. He insists on walking the whole facility again despite barely looking around, focusing on your words more intently than yesterday.
He says he wants your help figuring out which dog to go with but respects that the shelter closes soon. Naturally, he asks you, "Hey, I'm indecisive, but I know y'all close soon. So would you like to grab some boba with me and help me decide?".
At this, your coworker's jaw is on the floor while yours is trying to maintain normalcy. You grin and, with a shaky voice, say, "I…I'd be honored if you would prefer that over returning tomorrow. I mean, since you can't adopt once we close. Aish, what am I saying…you're a busy man, so let's go get this decided then!".
He can't help but giggle at your flustered state and logic. He knows he will need to return anyway, but if this gets him on a date with you, it's worth the extra trip.
Even though he decides on the brown and white cocker spaniel named Mandu in about 30 minutes, y’all spend hours at the boba shop talking about everything and anything.
This leads to many more meetings starting off as you helping him learn how to take care of and train Mandu, morphing into chill hangouts, and eventually, y'all making your relationship official.
Life is bliss and everything you could dream of until he starts acting strange. It begins with your dates becoming less frequent and Jimin seeming agitated more often than not when he is around you.
A week after your 10-month anniversary, you question your boyfriend, "Chim Chim, what's wrong? You can talk to me…If I did something, please tell me, yell, anything…”
He rolls his eyes, "Y/n, you didn't do anything, okay? Just had a lot on my mind lately. You wouldn't understand; you live a simple life." At this, tears well up in your eyes. "Ouch… I'm just trying to be supportive. Plus, just because I'm not an idol doesn't mean my life is a cakewalk.
You know how much I've struggled before and during being with you. Just because you're great doesn't mean our relationship hasn't also given me side effects. Do you realize how much hate and death threats I've gotten since I started going out with you???
Now, yes, your company is good at shutting them down and ensuring I'm safe, but it isn't fun to encounter. Not to mention you being around all those beautiful idols all of the time…
I know you care about me, but I look nothing like those people, and I am just worried that eventually you will see me the way I do and…don't look at me like that, I'm just saying.".
He just clenches his fists and pokes inside of his cheek with his tongue and responds with, "That's not fucking fair y/n. It's not like I caused those things or given you a reason to be insecure.
I thought I was helping you with anxiety and self-esteem, but I guess I was wrong. I knew this was too good to be true…" With that, he walks out of your apartment and starts the detachment.
It’s the longest month of your life. Feeling like a bother, you stop texting and hanging out with Jimin, partly to teach him a lesson and somewhat because he hurt your feelings. Despite his frequent attempts to meet up and talk things out, you shut him down or give one-word responses.
Feeling desperate, Jimin goes to your work to talk things out only to learn from Alice, your coworker from before, that you purposely changed your schedule so he couldn't just pop up. She also gives him the cold shoulder in solidarity, as she knows what happened.
As it happens, you pull in right as he departs down the road, and for a moment, you consider following him. You miss him but aren't sure you are ready to see him yet.
Fast forward a week, and Alice hits you up because she is tired of you being a homebody. You agree to meet up with her at a local café since you know that alcohol is not a good idea right now.
After waiting an hour and no sign of her or anyone else besides a couple of workers, you are about to leave when you look up from your phone only to see Jimin standing before you.
Gently resting his hand on yours, he pleads for you to give him 10 minutes, and if after that, you aren't convinced, he will never bother you again. He admits that he rented out the café and prepaid for your drink since he knows this is your favorite spot. In addition to the centerpieces being your favorite flower, he just wanted privacy with you in one of your safest places.
For the first 3 minutes, he is profusely apologizing, saying that there had been so many rumors about him and Nayeon recently that you bringing up other women just set him off because he thought you knew that you were the embodiment of beauty to him and never looked at anyone else.
Then he leans forward and rubs your arm for comfort as he sees tears about to fall down your cheek and continues, "Jagiya, I'm so sorry again. When I said, I had a lot on my mind that you wouldn't understand… I don’t mean that you've never had struggles. It was something that I was worried about but didn't know if you were too, but.. now it's time to find out, I guess."
You cock an eyebrow and wipe the tears from your face, "Just tell me, Mochi, I swear it's fine. Just be honest. It can’t be worse than what I’ve been imagining for the past month.”.
He leans back and lets a deep sigh escape his mouth, "Alright, here goes, I love you. I have been for months now. I realized it 2 months before the day I went off and hurt you, but I was worried about saying it too soon. So, I tried to shove the desire down, but it only made me angry because why has society dictated milestones?
If I love you, I should be able to say so whenever I feel it, right? Aish…anyway, when you said you knew I cared about you, it made me pissed again because I wanted to shout to the heavens how in love I was and am with you but didn't know if I should, so yeah….".
The timer goes off, and he sits up straight, staring at you with pleading eyes to say something. You are looking down, fidgeting with your fingers, and processing everything he just said. He goes to leave, taking your silence as a goodbye.
As he arises, you grab the sleeve of his sweater and stand up, saying, "I feel the same way, which is why everything hurt so bad, and I detached so abruptly. I wanted to tell you how I felt, too, but I was too scared of rejection, so I took that day as a sign to back off. “
His eyes go wide, "Oh…I…cool…I mean.. you know what I mean? I just feel like such a pabo (fool) and hope one day you can forgive me, but I get if no—" He is cut off by your lips crashing into his and smiling as he has wanted this for so long.
Once you detach for the sake of breathing, you hurry hand in hand to the public transportation stop, giving little pecks as you wait. Once you get on, you can't help but be stereotypical and sit in his lap. Y'all seem all tiny and cutesy to the others on the train.
Until you get home, and the second that the front door locks, he has you pushed up against the wall, leaving sloppy kisses along your neck and jawline before passionately devouring your lips in his until you are both gasping and trying desperately to hold on to anything to stay grounded.
As soon as y'all head into the bedroom, it's a race of who can get their clothes off faster. Honestly, you can't recall because the millisecond it happens, he has you trapped under him for who knows how long. He shows you with his body how much love he has for you, how sorry he is, and most of all, how much he missed you.
Once both of your bodies are spent, y'all indulge in a sweet bath. He carries you to bed, and you both fall asleep in each other's arms, drifting off to the best sleep of your lives, knowing that there is no more gray area in your relationship, nor will there ever be, because you both agree to communicate everything from now on; there's no way either of you can be apart that long again or would ever want to be.

Smoke Sprite
Tumblr media
Pairing: Namjoon x un-named fem!OC
Genre: Crime AU, Enemies-and-lovers trope
Summary: Two worlds apart but they still kept dancing around each other
Words: 800 (prettty short)
Author’s Notes: Wrote this while listening to Smoke Sprite- aka the song that changed me as a person and is a permanent part of my bone structure- you can ask me in my sleep and I’ll be able to tell you definition of diffusion, osmosis, active transport and the entire lyrics of Smoke Sprite
-------------------------------------------------------- She woke up in soft linens sheets, slightly disoriented, but not enough to not realise that this was not her bed. Her eyes move around the room and she realises where she was- the plants by the window and the stack of books near the bed all too familiar. Namjoon had saved her. Again. The realization brought a mix of emotions—gratitude, relief, and a touch of vulnerability. This wasn't the first time he had extended his hand to rescue her from the depths of her own struggles, and it filled her with a profound sense of both comfort and bitterness. She looked towards the door, hoping to see him there, his eyes reflecting the affection and care he had always given her, even after how things had ended between them- even after how they continued dancing around each other. In some twisted ways, Namjoon was her rock, offering guidance and protection when she couldn't give him the same in return. 
As she sat up, her thoughts wandered in a thousand different directions- how exactly had they been ambushed? Where was her team? What was Namjoon doing there? All these questions ran rampant in her brain till Namjoon walked, holding a bottle of water. 
"Oh good, you are awake". 
"What am I doing here Namjoon?"
"Oh honey, don't pretend this is the first time you have found yourself in my bed", he smirked slightly as her stomach did knots- no. 
No it wasn't the first time she had ended up here. 
Despite both of them at each other's necks constantly. Even after she knew who her, now-ex, boyfriend really was.
"Why do you keep saving me Namjoon? Even when you know I will wake up the next day to actively hunt you down?"
"Pathetic isn't it?" he let out a laugh, "Even when your gun is pointed at my heart, I can't bear the thought of you dying".
She paused- he still loved her? 
Even after all this time? 
Even after what had happened?
Even when they were doomed?
He came closer to her and brushed her hair from her face, "Even when you work towards my demise, I'm on my knees for you". Her eyes welled up with tears as the memories of their life of ignorant bliss, more like her ignorant bliss, came to haunt her once again. She couldn't even say she loved him- because the feeling was still there.
Even after everything, he was the only one stuck in her dreams. "Please come back Namjoon", she gasped out, taking a shot at somehow getting them reunite again, "Come back and surrender-" "Come back? So they can put me in chains and crumble me, then parade me around as an example? So that you can have the satisfaction to say that you love a 'good' man just because you can't accept the darkness in me?" "Namjoon I would never-" "Never what? Hurt me? I know you wouldn't, but you are also a coward dear- you cannot stop your superiors-" he spat with venom, "from punishing me. And you do not have the courage to leave all you know for me."The room fell silent, the weight of his words hanging heavy in the air. Each syllable pierced her heart, unravelling the fragile hope that had been building within her. She searched for words, her lips parting as she desperately tried to find a way to bridge the chasm that had formed between them. Namjoon's eyes flickered with a myriad of emotions—pain, doubt, and a glimmer of longing. His voice, when it finally emerged, was laced with a bitter resignation. "You speak of courage, of me leaving all that I know, but can you truly comprehend the magnitude of the sacrifices we both would have to make? The world is a cruel place, my love, and it won't easily grant us solace." 
"Please," she implored softly, not sure what she was pleading for, and he remained silent, his gaze fixed on her. His face contorted with a mixture of anguish and resentment, as if torn between longing and self-preservation. Tears welled up in her eyes as he leaned in to plant a soft kiss on her cheek- etched with bitter longing for a love that they had once shared. The one that continued to spark when their eyes met but they both knew that it would never revive till one of them forfeited their ambitions. Their moment of intimacy was fleeting, a testament to the complex web of emotions that entangled them. She knew she had reached the limits of her influence, unable to change the course of Namjoon's life.
With a final look at his retreating back, she slowly rose from the bed and silently gathered her belongings, steeling herself for the inevitable separation that awaited them- but they both knew their paths destined to intersect once more.
Would they ever find a way to reconcile their hopes and shadows?
Or was their love destined to be forever lost?

The hickey is trending on twt (once again)
The moment is really loud and there is absolutely no heterosexual explanation, but the highlight for me is seokjin's reaction.
His poker face before it breaks into a huge "istg these gAys" lmaooooo
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He was like "what in the world...???" the whole time. His reaction is PRICELESS.
I think sometimes the member's reactions to jikookery tell more about the two than jikook themselves.
Seokjin either ignores them or put the biggest "aww" smile on his face. Yoongi and Tae either ignores them or get DISGUSTED lmao. Hoseok and Namjoon are either with a really worried look on their faces or with a big ass smile.
I am completely here for it! HAIAHSIAHSIAJSOAJA
Please make a compilation of their reactions!
Lol. Idk about all of that, but here is my post over the whole hickey deal
And other posts that I think are what you are looking for. Jikook and Big Hit:
Jikook & Their Staff:
Members Teasing Jikook:
Members reactions to jikook:
Yoongi Supporting Jikook (this one needs some updating though I think):
Jin Supporting Jikook:
Hobi Supporting Jikook:
Namjoon Keeping an eye on Jikook. I've said it before, but I'll say it again though. I need to do another post more about how namjoon supports them, indivually and together. Because the way jkkrs portray him as their police force and never talks about any other aspect of their trio dynamics or any other thing about it. Drives me insane. Because it's not as dramatic as jkkrs make it sound, nor is it nearly as often, nor is it even the most prominent way he interacts with the two of them. Same with Hobi too. His relationship with jikook is WAY more than just their biggest cheerleader. Conversations for another post though. Adding it to my list of posts to make for sure.
But that's on me as well for not talking about that more here. I will. I also don't have one specifically about Tae supporting Jikook yet either or solely his reactions, but I touch on it a little bit in my vminkook dynamics post. So I should do a post at some point too. And I dont think any of them ever really have reactions of disgust. But I'm pretty sure that this mostly covers what you were looking for. Hope these posts help a bit!

hello there! before i start with my ramblings, may i know what to call you? your username is sopebubbles and i love sope and bubbles!! but what do i call you ? i’m sorry if i missed any ask that have mentioned your name, but i really don’t know what to call you other than author-nim 😭 so im so sorry!
— btw i just finished my final papers. my days were hectic with studies and revisioned with these killer subjects that literally killing me, but i managed to pull it off and end it well sighhhhhh. i’m 22 yet im still taking exams. (never quit learning btw, it’s good to stimulate your brain-) anywayyyy, that’s why now i have some times to come back to tumblr and have my precious time delulu-ing away with my favourite fics updates!!
imagine my surprise that i saw two chapter updated 😭😭 omg it was heavenly surprised!!!
actually it took me few weeks to collect myself, my thoughts, my spirits, to talk (sending ask) to you here. now i’m good to discuss this eheks :3 i hope that you don’t mind with me being so handful and asks lots of questions sometimes 😔 ㅋㅋㅋ
emm,to start, i wonder if yn ever will ever share her sad background story with the pack as now she’s one of the pack and yoongi’s mate. with how privileged life that most members in the pack grew up with, unlike yoongi and jimin and maybe taehyung too. so i wonder if she will ever tell them and maybe in future it might be a solid reasons to the pack to protect her. as in in chapter 12 where namjoon feels threatened by yn that she might stole the spot or something. i feel like they need to know how horrible she was treated before, you know my little heart sometimes cannot handle this injustice feeling - however i understand why namjoon felt that too. yet still — shhshshs
for taehyung and jungkook, what is their position in the pack? i mean jimin close with yoongi obviously. seokjin and hobi are married, namjoon being seokjin right hand man. so where does these left jungkook and taehyung? are they like just there in the pack like a family or they are lovers too with others? sorry if this sounds stupid but i am stupid so it’s not surprising. shshshs
anyway anyhow by the way, i cheer for your upcoming stories! rest well and don’t get hurt!!
-🫧
🙋🏻‍♀️hiiiii! Nice to hear from you again! I'm glad to hear you got through your exams. I absolutely do not miss those days! Learning is fun but taking tests is not! I'm grateful you made time to read my little story.
As for what to call me, i guess you can call me maddie! Although author-nim gives me a nice warm feeling 🥰
She will definitely tell them, although it probably won't be all at once. She will reveal some to just Yoongi in the next chapter though! They will all come to understand her and love her better eventually.
They are lovers too!! Jungkook was the third to join. For a year or two or was just Jin, Hobi and Jungkook. Then Jungkook and Jin kept bringing home strays 🤭 Jin brought Namjoon and Jungkook brought Taehyung not too long after. Jungkook has a very central role in the pack, though they all do in their own way. He's kind of close with everyone. Taehyung is closest with Hobi, Jimin and Jungkook, although Yoongi and Jin give him a lot of respect and trust, leaving him to protect their omega(s) all day long. When it comes to Jimin, they're very silly but very close and really understand each other. Low key if the pack had split, Tae might have asked to go with Jimin.
You're not stupid at all!! You've done so well with school and i hope you have some time to relax! Thank you for your questions, they're never a bother 💜

𝐵𝒶𝒸𝓀 𝐹𝓇𝑜𝓂 𝒟𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒽 - 𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓅𝓉𝑒𝓇 𝒳𝐼𝐼
Taehyung's POV
I can't afford her loving Namjoon. I will kill him. But first I need her to like me. I took her to her brother. We were in front of her house waiting for someone to answer the door.
Her brother opened the door and she launched at him, "Brother!"
"OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?" Yoongi screamed.
I scrambled into the house to check if my dear was hurt. She was on the floor, on top of Yoongi hugging him. The amount of rage coursing through my veins was inexplainable. I quickly peel her off of Yoongi and inspect her for any injuries. She wasn't hurt. Yoongi stood up and dusted his clothes.
"Yuna," he cups her face, "I missed you."
"I missed you too," she says with tears in her eyes.
I cough to catch their attention.
"Oh," Yoongi says, "he let you come here?"
"Yes," she said and Yoongi smiled but it fell into a frown, "but it took a lot of convincing and fighting."
"You fought with my sister?" Yoongi glares at me.
"No," I say coldly, "I was trying to keep her safe."
"You think keeping her with you is safe," Yoongi almost lunges at me.
"What's the commotion all abou-" Namjoon came.
"Namjoon?" My dear asks.
"Yuna?" Namjoon calls.
"Namjoon I missed you," she went towards him but he walked back.
"Don't come near me," he said and I smirked. He's a fast learner.
"Why?" She asks.
"I don't want your boyfriend to get angry and enslave me again." He replies.
"What are y-you saying? You are my boyfriend," she stutters, "enslave? What do you mean?"
I pull her back into my embrace, "Dear, what did I tell you? He's not your boyfriend. I am."
"So," Yoongi smirks, "You haven't told her about what you did to Namjoon. Have you?"
"No-" I couldn't complete.
"A lie by omission is still a lie," Yoongi whistles.
"What?" Yuna asks squirming from my grip.
"Nothing," I state, "let's go. Come."
"Wait, I just met my brother, let me spend some time with him," she pulls back.
"You said you wanted to meet him. And you did. Now don't make me do things you wouldn't want," I threaten her. 
"You can kill me, I don't care," she says. Oh, so she thinks I'll kill her? Funny.
"I won't kill you or hurt you, my dear. The one I'll be killing is your brother or your ex-boyfriend," I say.
"N-no," she stutters, "you wouldn't do that."
"I will if required, my dear. Now come with me so that it doesn't happen." I cup her face.
"O-okay," she looks down, "can I say goodbye to my brother? Please?"
"Okay,  you have five minutes." I let her go.
"Brother!" she ran back into the house, "Goodbye." 
She kisses his cheek and hugs him while he kisses her forehead, "I love you, Yuna. Stay safe."
And then he whispers something which I couldn't catch. She came outside waving at him.
"What did he whisper to you?" I ask.
"None of your business. You wanted to go, let's go," she snaps.
"I asked. What. Did. He. Whisper. To. You," I grip her hands pulling her closer to me.
"And I said. None. Of. Your. Business," she says back.
I clench my fists in anger and cup the sides of her gently, "Just tell me, my dear."
"He just told me not to let you touch me, like how you're doing right now," she states.
I drop my hands and she backs away from me. 
"I-," I stutter, "I'm sorry."
"I don't care," she says monotonously, "I can't do anything about it either way."
She slides down the fence outside her house and sits down smiling at a locket in her hand. 
"I just want you to know," she looks up at me, "I hate you and will continue to hate you even if I fall out of love with Namjoon. So there's no point in harming him. Or anyone."
"That's enough," I slide my hands around her waist and under her knees and pick her up, "I'm taking you home and giving your memories back. Close your eyes."
She shuts her eyes tightly and peeks at me once. I smile at her small action. At least she trusts me a little. I will make her fall in love with me. I won't give up. Once I give her memories, she will love me. But first, I need to get out of that stupid pyramid. I'll bring back my city and crown her the queen. She will be above everyone, above me. She will have everything she wants.
"Open your eyes," I say and she opens one of her eyes.
"W-where are we?" She asks.
"Welcome to the city of Luxon," I say.
"Uh," her face falls, "it's just miles and miles of sand..." 
"It's under these sands, my dear. You'll see," I crouch and place her down slowly. 
Yuna's POV
He placed me down on the sand and stands up towering over me. He smiles at me warmly and turns around to face the blazing sun. He starts chanting something and shows his palms to the sun. After a while of chanting, he opens his eyes. He looks aside at me. His eyes were glowing. 
"What the hell? What are you doing?" I was scared enough and now he looked like he was going to kill me.
"Shush, my dear," he says in his deep voice, "just enjoy the show."
He looks at the sun and his chanting becomes louder and louder with each passing second. Suddenly, I felt a tremor on the ground. The ground started shaking and the sand started moving away. I scramble back and away from the falling sand.
"T-Taehyung," I pull on his coat, "what's going on? We should go the sand it's-"
"Hush," he says with his eyes closed, "calm down, my dear. Nothing will happen to you.
He raised his hands and his chanting was louder than before. It was vibrating and I could feel it to my bones. The sand started rising above us and quickly turned into a storm.

Hidden Behind a Smile (JIN) CH4 - The Fan Meet
Tumblr media
Y/N POV:
"TA DA!! I got you a ticket to the fan meet!" He beams.
"WAIT WHAT?" I grab on to the ticket and examine it closely. Yep, this is definitely official. I gasp, "How did you even get one of these?? They only announced it just last night!"
"You know how the Armys are. You have to buy them quick before they sell out. But don't worry about that! You get to meet Jin!" He mentioned.
"You're right!" I exclaimed, "wait.. what will I say to him? How should I dress? Should I wear makeup, or no? What if he doesn't like me? What id I trip and-"
"Shh, shh," He breathed, "It'll be fine. I'm sure he'll love you. Why would he hate his fans? Just be yourself."
At his words, I calmed down, "You're right, just have to be myself."
"But when you get back you are telling me every detail, got it?" He held out his pinkie.
"Promise!"
———————————
Eventually the day of the fan meet came. I lightly curled my hair and put on some makeup. I wore a blush pink dress with gold detailing. Grabbing my bag, I got on the bus to drive to the venue.
Once I got there, long lines were crowding around the building. I got in line where I was supposed to and waited. Some people were talking and making friends, but I focused on what I was going to say once I got there.
JIN POV:
"Just 5 more minutes guys!" One of the staff called out to us.
"I'm so excited!!" Jimin cheered, "It's always so much fun to meet our fans. They're so sweet!"
"I heard you invited someone this time, Hyung." Jungkook turned to me.
"Yeah. A friend."
"Oooh who is it?" Hoseok teased.
"Are they a girl?" Taehyung asked.
"Yes, she's a girl. She's just a friend I've made recently and she happens to like our music." I replied.
"Are you her bias? Do you like her?" Taehyung continued to pester.
"It doesn't matter!" I yelled, "...but maybe"
"Maybe you're her bias or maybe she likes you??" Jungkook joined in.
"Guys! It's time to get out there!" The same staff member called.
I smoothed out my shirt as we walked onto the small stage. Looking out at the crowd, I tried to find her face. I didn't see her. Right as I was beginning to worry, I noticed her huddled in the corner, an overwhelmed look on her face. Cute, I thought.
After some short announcements from the other members, we began the signing. One by one fans came to the table and talked with us. Eventually it was Y/N's turn. She lingered towards the table.
The first member at the table was Namjoon. They talked for a bit and he must've made a joke, because she broke out into snickers. He signed her album and passed it on to Hoseok.
Inside I was burning with jealousy, but I tried to hide it from the fan in front of me. They're all excited to be here, I have to give them all a good show. Still, she's MY friend. I invited her here, but now all the other members are getting to talk to her.
Hoseok finishes signing her album and passes it on to me. She nervously walks over, but on the way she trips over her shoelaces. Luckily she was able to catch herself, but I know that must have really hurt her pride. I remember her saying she was worried about that...
"Ah.., I'm so sorry," She mumbled, her face as red as my shirt.
"Woah, you're so pretty. Is this my fan meet or yours?" I joked.
She laughed at that, "gosh, I seem to embarrass myself every time I meet you, don't I?"
"Please, don't worry about it. It's adorable." I said. The words left my mouth before I even realized. Shoot! Don't be so obvious about it, Seokjin! What are you saying!
If she wasn't blushing before, she was now. The other fans are starting to wrap up their conversations. She rushed to a page in the photo book for me to sign.
"Er- what is your name?" I ask.
"Y/N." She smiles.
Uncapping the marker, I began writing:
Dear Y/N,
Thank you so much for listening to our music and coming to the signing today! Your support means the word to us. I'd like to see you again. Wanna meet at Lotte World this Saturday at 10:00 am?
I'll be waiting for you,
Your Jinnie
I close the book and pass it back to her. She smiles, and I notice the glitter present both in her eyeshadow and her outfit. She looks so sparkly, but she does even when she's wearing worn out jeans and a sweatshirt at the store. No matter where she is or what she's doing, she never fails to make my heart flutter. It's been three months since I first met her, I need to tell her at some point.
Y/N, I really like you.

Ari the Jin fic was so so so so good, I had already told you but wow, it had me at the edge of my seat, the way you included the smut was genius. It felt so genuine, I could feel every emotion in each one of the characters, and that Namjoon cameo just wow, I loved the ending Minho had. I know you were worried about the story being too sad or too depressing but believe me it was perfect. I swear to god you are like a magician crafting these beautiful stories for us, placing every ingredient in the right amount. I tell you all the time you are my favorite writer in here and you are one of the most talented I've ever came across on Tumblr, your writing is poetic, the way you write each line is perfect. Once again thank u so much for sharing your art and talent with us mere mortals. Love you❤️❤️

I said this before but I am the mere mortal here and you're all my little angels, whom I love so much <3
thank you for sharing a piece of your beautiful mind with me and letting me know your thoughts, then and now, it truly means a lot to me 🫂❤️

HIS POCKET FAIRY
Tumblr media
TAEHYUNG X READER FAIRY AU
CHAPTER 1 (3.3k words)
For more information about this story, find it here
This was really fun to write 🫡
His POV
I sip my coffee from my seat in the small and lively coffee shop, my gaze on the woman currently smiling behind the counter.
I don't know why I always come here of all places, and I especially ignore why I always spend that time staring at her, the dark liquid in my cup taking its time to lower, the heat never lasting for quite as long as I would need it to.
I don't know why she has my attention, she just does.
She exists to live, and I exist to be her victim, my soul a soft clay that she can shape to her heart's desires.
Or that might be my reality if I was the one actually interacting with her.
Jin, my bodyguard, walks over happily with a large blueberry muffin in hand and sits in front of me with a soft hum, our weekly visits here not bothering him in the slightest, which shouldn't come as a surprise, not when there's so much food to his disposal.
"Y/N's so sweet, she gave me a nice little discount since I'm always kind with her, but if you want my opinion, I think my blinding smile simply finally charmed her. Maybe she'll declare her love for me the next time we come here?" he muses before taking a bite of his food while I clench my fingers around the coffee cup.
"Y/N?".
He nods his head, uncaring that bits of food spill onto his black suit when he wipes his mouth. "We shared our names just now, she said that she likes knowing the names of the people she sees regularly, so I told her mine and then she told me hers. I think I made a new friend, today feels like a good day-"
"Did you tell her my name?".
Jin laughs and points at me like I just said the joke of the year, a sight that makes me frown, the worsening narrowing of my eyes not bothering him in the slightest when he exhales in amusement while I keep glaring at him.
"No, don't worry, I wouldn't dare. I told her that it would be better for her to not interact with you when she can avoid it, I know you don't like it when strangers talk to you- hey, where are you going?".
"Out, we're leaving" I state before walking past the counter, eyes straight on the door that I push open while the annoying man hurries in stuffing himself with the muffin before running after me, a quick wave of the hand to Y/N before he's out and by my side.
"That was a short break" the man pouts but I ignore him and get inside the limousine that awaits in front of the building while he runs to take the wheel with a disappointed sigh. "Really short. I couldn't even enjoy the taste of the muffin".
I turn my gaze to the window that allows me a sight of her as she stares in our direction from the large storefront, confusion on her face at how quickly we came and left before she shrugs it off to instead focus on wiping the counter.
"It's because you talk too much. Let's go".
"Yes, yes. If I didn't know you that well, Taehyung, I'd almost believe you jealous, isn't that funny? You, jealous? Pah, now I'd love to see that in person".
"Shut up and drive" I utter lowly, and he listens in silence, the rumbling motor coming alive while I take in as much of her grace as I can, and when we drive away from the coffee shop, my heart stings like it's prickled by hundreds of needles, all of that, just from being unable to see her anymore.
Who is she to captivate me as such?
Y/N, who are you?
"Jin, call Yoongi and let him know that I want the incoming meeting to happen sooner. I'm not in a mood to be working until the evening today. If the clients can't make it, cancel everything" I ask him after a few seconds and his gaze briefly meets mine in the rear-view mirror to see if I'm serious.
I am serious.
"Awww, again? Namjoon spent many hours working on this project for you, you know?" he comments lightly as he searches for my personal assistant's number on his phone from the window support once at a red light.
"Then tell Yoongi to do a good job to convince them. I want them in the meeting room in one hour at most".
A sigh. "Yes, of course. I'm sure Yoongi will manage, they were already desperate when they came to us last month so they should accommodate to you without making a big fuss, but please don't make a habit out of this, it's such a waste when you have your sudden whims".
I tsk my tongue and look the other way. This wouldn't be happening if he'd told her my name, why did he tell her to avoid talking to me? Because I hate everyone?
Now, because of him, I'm going to have to go back later to fix that problem, because the simple thought of her sleeping tonight with the knowledge that she can't talk to me makes my blood boil.
"You know what? Make it thirty minutes. And tell Yoongi to put some whiskey in my coffee, I'm pissed".
At these words, Jin gulps and decides to simply focus on his current tasks, which are to drive and tell Yoongi absolutely everything that I said, but with more tact.
'Oof, what'd you do to piss him off this time, Jin? Whiskey at one in the afternoon? You've done bad this time, buddy. I'll see what I can do on my side, but do try to avoid making him blow up before I'm off work, yeah?'.
"Shut up, you are not helping" Jin answers through gritted teeth, and when I huff a tiny smile, he squeezes the steering wheel tighter between his fingers. What the fuck did he do wrong?
This is the kind of situation that makes him hate his job.
For just a tiny little second.
My being one of the most successful and wealthy bachelors this country has ever seen has its advantages, and him being one of my closest friends is one of those. He can hate working for me from time to time, because at the end of the day, his affection will never run out of fuel.
And he does get to see interesting things when he follows me around.
"Oh look Taehyung, a fat squirrel, it reminds me of- oh. It died. Never mind".
I roll my eyes before closing them for a short nap that only serves to bring her face back to the surface, and when my heartbeat slows to a comfortable and peaceful pace, I inhale deeply in face of these strange feelings.
I will definitely have to go back to her before she ends her shift. I cannot accept that she does not know my name but knows Jin's.
He should not take more space than I do in her life, I have remained on the sidelines for long enough.
That changes now.
Your POV
When we close the shop for the day, I heave a sigh of relief, glad that the last rush of customers is finally behind us and over with because I'm really tired, today felt like it would never end.
My three coworkers exit the work area to instead sit at a table to talk between themselves and I start gathering the dirty dishes in the sink to fill the dishwasher before getting started with cleaning the few workstations, something that we should be doing together under normal circumstances.
But sadly, their lounging in the seating area to relax after talking all day with the customers is nothing new and I don't think it will change anytime soon. Their laziness is unlike anything I've ever seen before and the shop's owner is never here anyway, so who's to make them stop?
"You know that very handsome man who always comes here once a week with that chatty model? Well I heard that he's actually the CEO of Gold Label, you know, that company that's at the head of most of the prestigious bars, hotels and cruises available around the world?".
"Whaaaat? No way! Why would such a man come to our stupid coffee shop? The coffee isn't even that good, but he is handsome though! I wouldn't mind having him in my bed at the end of the day...".
"Geez, you already have a different guy every single day, leave us some of the good bits too".
"No way, it's not my fault if they all want a taste of me, find your own toys!".
"Speaking of toys, I got this new one and-"
I tune out of their conversation and sigh as I scrub the coffee machines properly, water boiling before pouring into empty cups to clean the filters as well, something that depends entirely on me because the girls never do this step when they find it in them to help a little.
Sometimes it really feels like I'm running this shop on my own, but at least they do the minimum required of them so I'm not really doing everything on my own, it just feels like it.
I think back to the two men the girls were talking about with a tired exhale, my body at its limit.
I only really know Jin since he's always the one standing by the counter to talk to me while I work on their orders, but even with our weekly chats, I can't say that I know much about either of them.
The mysterious silent one whose name I will probably never learn because he apparently doesn't like being bothered by strangers does have something to him that always makes me curious, a sort of pull that I can't explain, but with what his friend told me today, I don't expect much out of this.
I'm sure Jin warned me for a reason so I don't want to risk it, even if only to be polite. It's safer to interact through the friendly man while he takes care of the silent one, that way, everyone's happy and I get to keep my job.
I hum as I begin wiping the countertop with a wet towel to remove the coffee stains and bread crumbs hiding in the corners. If what Rina said is true, that they are indeed from such a grand company, it does make me wonder why they come here of all places.
While I try my best to offer the best drinks I can manage to the customers who come here, I really don't feel like I'm doing that good of a job because no one's shown me how to do my job ever since I started working here.
Most of what I learned had to come from YouTube videos and even then, there is only so much they can teach when the coffee machines aren't from the same company, something that hadn't crossed my mind at the time when I began hunting for more information after a terrible first day of endless apologizing.
Honestly, that man, Jin, has been an angel ever since they began coming here. He's patient and even guided me a few times when he saw me confused about some complicated requests, something that my boss would scream at me for if he ever saw that happening live.
Hana has tried to show me how to do the more complex recipes once or twice but... she goes so fast that I can't even try to learn by copying her moves so the teaching was in the end a failure and none of the girls appear interested to help me, so I really had to pick up details left and right to make it to where I am now.
I sometimes find myself wishing I could complain to my boss and ask him to do something about them, but if I'm being sincere about this whole thing... my working here is enough of a miracle as it is and I can't afford being kicked out for speaking up.
Fairies are not allowed to be independent without an owner to back them up after all and my boss is the only one who didn't request that I show him a proof of ownership before hiring me, so while the pay isn't all that great, it does allow me to pay the rent for the one room I could find downtown, another place that didn't seem to care much before giving me the door key.
It's not ideal, sure, I hear many stories that give me goosebumps, some of them even taking place near where I live but I don't have much of a choice, it's either that or living in the streets and that sounds less than safe for someone like me.
Anything is better than that wretched place where I used to be locked in cage without ever being allowed a glance at the outside, and I will do everything in my power to avoid getting caught by them again, because for once in my life, I am finally able to enjoy the freedom that this world has to offer even if it's limited and I don't want to lose that.
I'll do anything to keep my freedom, I don't want to go back to that hell.
As I grab the mop and the bucket to fill with warm water and soap, the shop's front door opens and when the girls quiet down, something unusual, I look up, wondering if maybe the owner finally decided to come have a look at his shop for once, which wouldn't be such a bad thing.
That's what I hope for anyway, but when I instead see the familiar silent man who always lets a friendly Jin order for him standing alone in front of the counter and staring at me, I freeze, mop falling right out of my hand in surprise.
The loud clattering of the plastic handle hitting the floor startles me out of my shock and I quickly set the bucket down and turn off the faucet before straightening up, gaze falling on my coworkers who hurry up to their feet for a chance to flirt with him before he turns around and leaves.
Mitzi makes her way behind the counter and subtly pushes me to the side with her hips before leaning over the counter to show her unauthorized cleavage to him, the modifications she applied to the work uniform not the kind that any business owners would like to see on their employees, that speaks about how often he comes around.
"What can I do for you, handsome? We're currently closed but just for you, we'll make an exception and make you whatever you want" she chirps with what she considers a sexy wink, and I look up just in time to find the man's eyes twitch in disgust before I begin planning my exit to avoid interacting with him.
I have no idea why he's here when it's obvious that we're closed, the usually lighted open sign by the door now turned off the first hint to stop them from entering the shop, but I'm not ready to stay around long enough to find out when Jin's warning comes back to mind.
These three girls look more than willing to take care of this matter and I make it a point to ignore the stinging to my heart when I pick up the bucket and mop.
"Uh... hello? Are you not here for coffee? Or did you perhaps come back because one of us caught your attention? We can definitely help with that too~".
Taehyung ignores her and turns his gaze in my direction, but as he does so, it's to find me already on my way to the kitchen to flee this awkward atmosphere, so all he really gets to see is the back of my head before I disappear in the other room.
He tsks his tongue in annoyance, this has got to be the result of Jin's warning, right?
His bodyguard/worst best friend recently asked for a bonus to thank him for all his hard work enduring his mood swings without ever losing his cool, which he granted because he knows he's a piece of work, but Taehyung is starting to think that he doesn't deserve it anymore, why would he when I ran away from him because of what I was told?
"You better make it up to me, you piece of shit" I hear the man mumble under his breath and my eyes widen just as I begin washing the floor by the oven, whoa there!
Why is he so aggressive towards Mitzi?! Do they know each other? Is he one of her many victims?! But she didn't talk to him as if she already knew him so maybe he's a friend of one of her victims? Oh gosh, I don't want to witness that!
"Excuse me? What did you just say to- hey, you're not allowed in the kitchen- hey! Is he seriously ignoring me right now? Wow, what an asshole... whatever, he's not my type anyway, I like my toys cute and obedient, not this... angry".
"Right? He looked so scary too... I still have the shivers".
I turn around at the sound of feet rushing into the isolated room and when I find the very same man scowling at me as he walks over with large strides, I remain still and terrified as my heart attempts to tear down a hole in my back to leave me behind, why is he here?!
He stops a few inches away from me and I hold onto the mop tighter, was what he said to Mitzi actually about me?
Did I do something bad? Did I mess up one of his orders even though Jin's scrutinizing gaze made sure that everything was perfect? Has he had enough of my mistakes? Is that it?!
"It's Taehyung" he blurts out all of a sudden after breathing in deeply to calm himself and I stare at him in confusion as silence takes over in the air, the usually noisy air conditioner turning quiet for once, an awful timing, really!
"P-pardon?" I stutter out in response, completely taken aback by the suddenness of this name he has thrown at me, what am I supposed to do with it?
"My name. It's Taehyung. Don't listen to what Jin said earlier, you're allowed to talk to me. Only you" is what he says, and when I nod my head once, he hums, turns around and leaves the shop without saying one more word, his goal now achieved.
Mitzi, Hana and Rina all peek into the kitchen with a questioning glance once he's gone and I can only shrug at their silent wondering, because I have no idea what just happened here, or even why.
Did he really come here because of what Jin said to me earlier?
"What a weirdo. Oh well. We're leaving so make sure you finish every tasks before locking the door. We'll see you tomorrow, kiddo" the oldest of the three says before turning around to leave the shop as well and I wave them goodbye slowly until the door closes behind them.
... what the heck?
I stare at the mop in my hands, then resume washing the floor, the only thing I'd rather focus on right now if I want to leave this place before night falls.
Taehyung, huh?

RYEN u really wanted to break my heart huh,, u wanted me to feel soul crushing sadness from this interlude didn't u. it's a double edged sword getting into yoongi's head bc i know i def wanted to see what he was thinking and how he feels about/around reader and what went down at basketball but poor baby :(
it's so upsetting that he thinks so poorly of himself and that he feels like he isn't enough ,, he puts so much thought into how reader must have been treated badly in the past and recognizes when she starts feeling off because of it but then turns it on himself saying he should do better :( like BABE ?? who hurt him in the past i'm so ready to fight for him he's doing his absolute best like GOD when he's thinking about his GUITAR. no. i'm stopping that right here. it doesn't exist in my brain i just erased it i can't take it. someone give him head scratches rn lay him down and treat him gently for a minute he's so. GOD RYEN i'm actually going to cry thinking about it i'm moving on LMAO
i'm really excited to go back and reread this side by side with all the other pars because getting to see both perspectives and compare how reader and yoongi were feeling/thinkng,,, they're so similar fr. i wish they could see that they're both MORE than good enough for each other and that they're both feeling the same way </3 me telepathically communicating that to them rn it'll get through eventually don't worry i got this !!
but seriously, from what i can remember from my (v recent hehe) reread,, everything ties in so well and adding that extra Flavor and Depth to the scenes UGH i love it here, seriously. i don't think i've ever felt such a strong emotional connection to a published book, let alone a fanfic?? and i'm a bitch who ANNOTATES books, ryen. highlighters, sticky tabs, notes in margins. there's just something about your writing and the way you weave everything together and build on top of the past things you've written that hits just right. it all feels so relatable and real it's DELICIOUS.
i loved seeing the friendship between jimin and yoongi !! i wish yoongi would LISTEN TO HIM tho fr,, reader is so into you AND YOU'RE SO HAPPY WITH HER LIKE ?? i get that bro (did i officially announce myself as team namjoon is bro bc yes) finding out is something that he's worried about, and i get that fr. bro has been there to watch all of yoongi's mistakes, it makes sense that bro would be concerned and maybe even upset, especially about them keeping it a secret for so long but like,, bro even dom admitted that yoongi was different with her. i rlly think he would come around after he saw them together bc god they just,, they both are just so good to each other and they care so much for each other </3 heart hurty
anyways here take the lines that i would highlight tf out of if this was anywhere that i could do that lol
"Just this once. Let him be the only one that worries." OUCHIES
“I did what I thought you would do.” yes yoongi would in fact go to the ends of the earth to make sure she was safe thank you for pointing that out and hurting me jimin .
“What are you gonna do once you stop?” um hahaha who said there had to be an end ahahahahahaha nooooo ahaha stop jimin ahaha dw i'll distract bro for the rest of forever he will simply not find out !!!
"What the fuck are you doing to him?  If you came up to him right now? He’d give you anything you wanted. All you’d have to do is say it." i am punching a wall right now btw :-) "Once a space that saw many destructive arguments and silent, unfinished meals, your appearance started giving it new life. New energy. Energy that he can physically feel as he passes it on the way to his room." i can't take this one actually "Lips at your temple, he vows, “That won’t happen again, love.” okay so this was a personal attack and i can't accept this i want to get you back for this so bad i am crying i can't take this this is kind of like embarrassingly long and if i tell u i've reread this 2.5 times already you WILL pretend it's been longer than a day. ig i could copy paste this into the feedback form but <3 it's already here so i will apologize for the wall of text . i did indeed get carried away but such is life -loona anon (should have a character limit fr)
LOONA ISTG THIS REVIEW IS DAMN DELICIOUS. apologies for not getting to it sooner! i needed the right amount of energy to respond bc holy hell you typed so much and i appreciate it sm :')) did i wanna break hearts? yes and no. i didn't wanna write yoongi's inner thoughts like that, but that's what they were. so i didn't wanna disrespect his character by writing it lightly. rest under the cut bc i have an essay lol
you're right. it's completely upsetting to know this is how he thinks of himself. whatever happened before seemed to really stick with him, to the point where he doesn't even give himself credit for anything good - only the bad (like being the reason the threat was made, etc.) when he's thinking about the guitar? i wanted to cry and i did tear up a lot. so. yeah. i understand if you cry while thinking about that bc i know i did. especially considering the song he played for reader in dalo.
OOOH yes!! they were actually meant to be read side by side if you have the time/resources to try it. i had to make sure they lined up well, despite their thought flows being different. i hope your telepathy works! the flavor worked? i'm glad.
oh my gosh.. a strong emotional connection to something i've created? that is one of the highest compliments i could ever receive, truly. maybe it can be printed someday so you can annotate it and keep it forever! i would love to hear commentary like that. i'm glad it's all woven together in a coherent way. i'm having so much fun and i hope you continue to enjoy the rest!
JIMIN AND YOONGI MY BOYSSSSSS UGH. i love them so fcking much it is absurd. (putting you on team joonie!) i know we all see that reader and yoongi have huge chemistry and care between each other, and the people that are around them enough can see it. but the thing with bro is that he's not actively looking for that. all he sees is his best friend and his sister, and they've had banter between each other ever since the old days. coupled with the fact that he's been gone and is thinking about so many other things. i just think it would be one of the last things on his mind, whereas people like dom and jimin can see the slipping bc yoongi and reader act different without bro around.
now for your annotation worthy lines:
"Just this once. Let him be the only one that worries." YEAH THIS ONE BROKE ME.
“I did what I thought you would do.” oh god... yeah. you picked the hard hitters, didn't you.
“What are you gonna do once you stop?” REALITY IS A BIIIIICH
"What the fuck are you doing to him?  If you came up to him right now? He’d give you anything you wanted. All you’d have to do is say it." i am punching a wall right now btw :-)
"Once a space that saw many destructive arguments and silent, unfinished meals, your appearance started giving it new life. New energy. Energy that he can physically feel as he passes it on the way to his room." you know what they say about unfinished meals in literature...
"Lips at your temple, he vows, “That won’t happen again, love.” HE SAID IT AGAIN. HE DID. THE SECOND TIME AND ITS WHEN READER IS ASLEEP dklfjdkvj
thank you so much for all of this, love. i thoroughly enjoyed it all and read it a shameful amount of times before finally putting this hopefully coherent response together. seriously, thank you!

Hi there, how are you doing?
I hope you've been having a good week so far. I just wanted to say hi and leave my thoughts on a scenario of yours. I read your "The Taming of the Tsundere" fic some time ago this summer and to put it simply, I enjoyed it so much; an incredible amount. I graduated high school mid-June of this year so it was such a lovely fic to read as I have now only began to let go of the fact that high school is over for me and I will be starting college in just a few days. Slowly but surely I am letting go. Thinking about it now, I am feeling pretty sad, hahaha. But it's okay and I am excited for the future.
Back to your fic, I absolutely loved the humor in between it all and how every bit humor, fluff, angst, etc. was balanced perfectly. You write with complexity yet your sentences were put simple and with clarity that I imagined every scene easily and that is probably the number one reason why I enjoyed this fic so much. I like the sort of "cold-open" in the second scene where we're introduced to Yoongi, Hobi, and Nam of course, but mostly the kind of relationship they have with each other and I enjoy this between every character as you wrote these relationships where it isn't perfect; it's casual and there's care and fondess between the characters despite times where they can upset each other and it's realistic b/c I can imagine it between me and someone else. Great job on that.
Another thing I want to point out is the dialogue and just how it fits so well with everyone and once again, is realistic b/c even my family members and I have used the same language and it's even more enjoyable to me as a reader.
One of my favorite parts that makes laugh is when Hoseok tells Yoongi to help the reader (in such a straightforward way: "Yoongi, go help her out," and that made me laugh already) and Hobi's reasoning is, "B/c she might need a big strong man to help her carry the supplies." LOL, I love it.
I'm sorry if this is getting a bit too long so I will leave it here (I can go on but I think I would just send message after message, hahaha). Other than that though, it was just such an amazing 33k slow burn fic and I am a fan of slow burns. I love the change of scenes so much and the detail you put into it and the use of imagery and figurative language was amazing and I thank you for making such a wonderful, comforting, and satisfying piece of writing. Satisfying b/c the angst was just at the perfect level and the following scenes where everything is slowly becoming good again was just as exceptional. I am so scared at this point of my message becoming too long but I just have to say: THE DANCING SCENE? W/ Namjoon tossing that imaginary lasso over Yoongi and Yoongi slowly hopping his way over to Nam to dance? Phenomenal. I also liked how you added the song "YMCA." It was just such a tiny and perfect addition and made me chuckle and play the song in the background as it's a favorite of mine to Yoongi making his way to fix things, lol.
But anyway, outstanding work you created and I'm still thrilled to have read it when I did; to have even found it at all. I'm going to miss high school greatly and while I didn't participate in many things or have even gone to a high school dance, it was just so nice to imagine myself in school that way one last time. Your fic was my spark of hope and excitement for the future that where I will continue to hope and work for good things to come during my time at college. Thank you very much once again and as I have read your pinned post, I will hold this fic close and I hope that every day brings you large amounts of happiness, comfort, and peace. This fic is on my list of absolute favorites for BTS.
Good luck to you as you move foward!
Have a great rest of your week. :)
Oh my gosh! 🥺🥺🥺 This message is so heartfelt and kind, I teared up a little reading it! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed 'The Taming of the Tsundere! 💖
The story was definitely inspired by my own nostalgia for high school, so I'm glad that it resonated with you. I've been out of school for a while now (time flies!), but I have so many fond memories of that time in my life (and college as well, you have that to look forward to! 😊) In a way, this fic was my love letter to my past self, past crushes, and old friends. We move on from those times, but we still treasure the memories in our hearts. I wish you all the best with moving on to college! The work load can be tough, but it's such a fun experience, and I'm sure you'll do well 💖😊
That being said, thank you so much for saying such kind things about my writing, oh my gosh!!! I'm glad you found my style clear, and enjoyable to read. I had a lot of fun writing the interactions between the cast - some characterisations were definitely inspired by my own friend group and the way we carry on together. I strive to write realistic dialog and believable characters, so I'm glad I was able to achieve that! 🤧
Oh man, that dance scene 😂 I'm so happy you liked it. It was so much fun to write. Somehow, 'YMCA' always seemed to play at parties in school, so I just associate it with that now. It brings up a lot of happy memories.
This was such a sweet message. Sorry if I'm just repeating myself at this point, but I really am so happy to hear you enjoyed it! I wish you all the best at college. I hope you're able to make lots of new happy memories on your journey into the future. You've blessed my day with tremendous happiness, just from reading this message, so I hope your days will be blessed with happiness too! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to share your thoughts with me 💖💖💖 Stay healthy, happy, and hydrated!
