#so I'm staying assuming the place doesn't shut down within my four years
Text
My college has kicked everyone out of the main dining hall for the entire weekend so that somebody can host a banquet in there. This includes the kitchen staff, other than the ones setting up the banquet, which means all the specialized areas, including the allergy-free area, the pizza ovens, and the ice cream machine and freezers (less important but the most popular thing in the entire dining hall) are completely off-limits. This is our only functioning dining hall on campus. Technically we have two, but the second one is only called a dining hall because it has access to the main one, not because it can function on its own. It's used, fun fact, mainly as event space, like banquets, and is not designed to be the main dining hall for 1500 kids. It can't even physically fit the entirety of the crowds that come at the busy times of the day!
But nope. Why would a college halfway to the brink of failure due to, among other things, incredibly bad relations between the students and ground-level staff and the administration, consider doing something that won't anger the student body even more? That's just absurd!
#god#the administration of this place is a fucking nightmare#its main thing has been completely ignoring the entire regular populace's suggestions about how to run the school#then implementing the thing everyone told them not to and being shocked it went badly#and also not doing anything we do want them to do#I think the best point of this in miniature is the fact one of the student center doors came off its hinges in late september or so#and all that's gotten is a sign saying 'don't use'#while they moved the entire school store into that same building in under a month new sign mannequins and everything#my personal most hated thing though is that two of the outdoor ramp rails have rusted out their support poles to the point they don't#connect to the ground there anymore. one of their crosswalk signs did this too and luckily that got fixed by replacing the rusted out parts#and only those. partially rusty is fine#and one of the emergency phones— the farthest one from any others— has been broken for longer than I've been here with no expectation of#being replaced or repaired.#and all the crosswalks are so worn they're gone. not almost gone. most of these are lucky to have any paint left near the edges of the road#they're Gone#our current student president won with a campaign of 'us before the system' against the incumbent president#unfortunately this is one of the best schools in my country for my major and the only one half decent under $40000 a year#and the students and faculty are great. Administration is just such a shitshow#so I'm staying assuming the place doesn't shut down within my four years#umf#university of maine at farmington

༄ Swipe, baby! | Part 12 - Oh, a real gentleman, I see

Idol!Taehyung x Reader sm/au

Genre: Crack humor, Romance/Fluff
╰ You both swiped right on each others tinder profile with no pictures of yourselves.
You keep the details on the low; no names, no nothing, only your ages. To keep the interest until the meeting, you started talking casually, but little did you know that the guy that's trying to get into your pants is no one else than Kim Taehyung, Singer of BTS, and little does he know, that you are completely whipped for the man, an army by heart since day 1.
Start reading!
⇣ ⇣ ⇣ ⇣ ⇣ ⇣
Tumblr media
Taehyungs grip around your wrist is tight and his pace is fast, it's taking all you've got to keep up and not stumble over your own feet.
„Tae- Taehyung,“ you stutter. „Can we slow down it's really hard to walk if you- if you pull me like this.“
„You brought this over yourself y/n, you'll have to learn your lesson.“
Hearing your name falling from his lips nearly has you losing your breath. Your name? Said by the Kim Taehyung? The man you've been losing your mind over for around 6 years? This is more than you've ever dared to dream. It almost makes you lose all the confidence you've built up over the evening. It was fun to tease him and drive him crazy, but now that it's close to happening you're getting pretty nervous, and the fact that he pulled himself together and took the upper hand again is almost intimidating.
As soon as you reach the doors Taehyung agressively types in the door code and continues to drag you over to the elevator. He's repeatingly pressing the button impatiently while waiting for it to arrive.
As soon as it's there, the doors open agonizingly slow and Taehyung shoves you through them the second the doors give enough space to do so; unbothered by the fact they did not fully open yet.
With one swift pull he spins you around so your back is meeting the wall on the left side as he slams his hands onto it and traps you between his arms. Seconds later, all you recognize is how he's leaning in sharply, with his face so close to yours that it has your breath hitching in your throat.
„You shouldn't have played me like this, y/n.“ he says while one of his hands is leaving your side to push the button thats starting the elevator.
You're meeting his hand halfway as he's about to bring it back and take it into yours, locking eyes with him. He's in control right now and you don't like it; you have to do something about this.
After stopping his hand with yours and holding it in place for a second, you're guiding it to rest on your cheek, not losing the intense eye contact even for the smallest of moments.
You watch as his bottom lip trembles and his adams apple bobs in his throat before he exhales shakingly.
Within the blink of an eye, what follows next is his lips crashing onto yours and his fingers diving into your hair. His lips are warm and soft and the kiss is greedy and filled with passion and in this moment its taking you everything to not rip his shirt off of him. His teeth are pulling eagerly at your lower lip and as he lets go of it his tongue is softly grazing your mouth, begging for entrance.
As much as you wanted to have a taste of is tongue, you don't get to let him in; the elevator opens its doors and Taehyung pulls away.
„Let's get out of here so we can continue somewhere more comfortable,“ he growls under his breath while he takes your hand, fingers intertwined.
As you walk towards the door, you can't help but feel overwhelmed by the impressive and gigantic building the boys are living in- not to mention how overwhelming the fact, that you're about to enter their dorm and spend a night with your bias, already is.
Taehyung is quick to type in the door code and he doesn't hesitate to push you through the door immediately.
With the sound of the door closing, he's already finding his way back to your body; his hands are gripping tightly around your waist as he's pulling you closer.
Sadly, just as he's about to lean back in to kiss you, nature is suddenly calling. This might not be the best timing, but on the other hand, it's pretty much just fitting into your plan of gaining back the upper hand. It won't hurt to leave him hanging high and dry for once more.
„Not so fast, big boy,“ you say while bringing up one finger, placing it on his lips, stopping him midway.
„What is it?“ he's asking under his breath as he's planting a kiss onto your finger.
„I kinda have to use your bathroom... can I?“
He's pulling away sharply, confusion visible on his face. „Uhm, of course you can... uhh, it's right over there,“ he responds with raised eyebrows as he's pointing into a direction.
You free yourself out of Taehyungs grip and start making your way towards the bathroom as you hear him calling out to you.
„I'll be waiting for you in my room, just walk down the hall on the right side.“
You turn on the spot, sending a nod his way. „Sure, I'll be right there,“ you assure him, making him smile.
But you wouldn't let go of a perfect opportunity to put one on top, not in this fight over dominance. So what you're doing, is forming a silent ,daddy‘ with your mouth, watching as Taehyungs eyes are widening while you turn back around to continue walking.
As soon as you reached the door Taehyung has pointed towards, you're quick to push down the handle- you wanna make him wait, but you don't want to make him wait for long.
Surprisingly the door won't open, though. Instead, you hear a voice calling out to you.
„Uhm, hyung?? I'm still in here so... would you mind??“
Being an Army for so many years, you know exactly to whom that voice belongs to. It's no one else than Jeon Jungkook, and it has you shocked. You would have thought that no one would be in the dorm when Taehyung brings you over, but certainly you've been proven wrong. Too bad that you have to keep the act of not knowing them up.
„E-... excuse me?“ you say nervously.
It doesn't help that now there's a big awkward silence, caused by probably both of you being equally surprised.
„I... uh... I-I'm sorry but-... uh yeah... occupied,“ Jungkook stutters out, being obviously just as nervous as you are.
„Uhh, okay, that's fine. Do you think it'll take long? I really have to... you know... pee.“
„Sadly, I think so... I'm sorry but I have been here for a while already and I don't think that'll change anytime soon...“ he says with the tiniest of voices. He sure sounds embarrassed.
„Oh dear, how long have you been in there?“
„... four hours...“
„Fo-four hours? You poor boy, what happened to you?!“
„I might have eaten 21 buckets of KFC... it's kinda taking its toll right now...“
„What- twenty-one buckets? That's... well, yeah. I can see that might take a while,“ you laugh. „But that doesn't change anything... do you happen to have a second bathroom?“
„Yes, it's actually two doors to the left, it should be free!“ he responds, now a bit more excited.
„Thank you! And... good luck in there!“ you cheer, as you turn away to find the other bathroom.
„Thanks.“
Tumblr media
As you are about to pass the first of the two doors, it suddenly shoots open and Hoseok is sliding out of what seems to be his room.
He's leaning onto the door frame, arms crossed and a smirk on his face.
„Hey sexy, how are we doing tonight? Who's your daddy, huh?“
„Someone that's not you,“ you reply as you keep walking, unfazed.
„Fair enough,“ is all he says as he quickly disappears, shutting his door.
That sure was not what you'd have imagined what Hoseok would be like, but who are you to judge, you are not better.
Tumblr media
As you push down the handle of the door next to Hoseoks, you are relieved to see that it in fact is the bathroom. You step inside and quickly do what nature is calling for.
Taking two, three glances in the mirror after washing your hands, you straighten your dress, fix a couple strands of hair and are ready to go find Taehyung.
‚Just walk down the hall on the right side,‘ you recall. ‚Shouldn't be too hard.‘
The right side of the hall is pretty much in front of you now, there is only one problem- it hasn't exactly only one door.
„Of course he didn't tell me which one,“ you mumble to yourself. You could try and call out his name, but you aren't very fond of the idea of making a fool out of yourself.
This damn guy. You immediately understood why you had to give your phone away as soon as you saw him and you didn't mind, but right now it wouldn't have been too bad to have it back.
Taking a deep breath you place your bet on the first door there is. Every rational thinking person would mention which door it is if it wouldn't be the first one, so that must be it, right?
Slowly you open the door and dare to peek inside. The lights are out, yet the space is dimly lit by a monitor that's left turned on. The whole room is a mess made out of empty bottles of banana milk, ramyeon bowls and a giant load of KFC buckets.
‚Jesus christ, Jungkook...,‘ is all you think as you close the door again. Not the room you were looking for.
Now you're getting nervous. As it seems, you'll have to go through all the doors, as much as you'd wish that wouldn't be the case.
Gathering some courage, you're knocking on the door next to Jungkooks before you open it carefully.
This time, the lights are on and the room isn't empty either; someone's sitting in their chair working on something on the computer. You immediately figure that you've barged into the wrong room again, but when he's starting to turn around in his chair, you'd feel rude if you would just leave now.
„You must be the girl that's Taehyungs guest for the night?“ Yoongi says with a monotone voice.
„Yes, I am and... you are?“
„That's not important right now. It's just good that I met you before, because...,“ he says while turning back around, opening a drawer, looking for something. When he found what he's been looking for, he reaches for his pocket, pulling his wallet out and turns back around as he continues his sentence. „You're going to stay over night, I assume? So, let me ask you, how exactly are you going to pay for this? I can accept cash,“ he says while lifting the wallet a bit, „....or credit cards,“ he says as he lifts a pocket card reader with his other hand, smirking.
You chuckle. This is probably the most hilarious thing you've ever witnessed. These guys are rich, and yet he asks you for money?
„Excuse me, but... this house doesn't exactly look like you'd need this, are you for real?“
Yoongi lets out a breathy laughter while putting down both of the items in his hands.
„We might seem rich, but I like to be on the safe side, you never know when you run out of money, you know?“ he explains with a smile, his expression kind of thoughtful.
You assume that this mindset probably has its roots in the fact that he grew up very poor, so he'd try to do everything to keep that from happening.
„I think I can understand that,“ you start. „and who would I be if I wouldn't support that? Also I kinda liked the way you asked. It was funny.“
You're laughing as you finish your sentence. Reaching into your bag, you drag out your wallet and pull out a dollar.
„I'm so sorry, but I can't just give you everything I have, since you never know when you run ouf money. But I can give you this as a thanks for the hospitality.“ you mock, and his eyes widen in surprise as you offer him the money.
„Are you for real?“
„Yes, just take it,“ you respond with a laughter.
„Holy shit, this is the first time someone actually does that. Geez, girl, you might not be as bad as I thought!“
„Excuse me?“ You're cocking an eyebrow.
„Nothing, forget it!“ he quickly says.
„Alright... listen, I should probably get going. Keep doing what you do, it's amazing!“
Shit. You didn't think that sentence through.
„What?“
„Uhh, the... the money thingy, you know. It's amazing how you, uh yeah, how you're managing that! I'll leave now, enjoy your night!“ you stutter out.
Yoongis face is decorated with a huge smile.
„No, you better enjoy your night.“
Closing his door behind you, you're taking a deep breath. That was close. You have to be more careful with what you're saying.
Tumblr media
Giving the next room a try, you definitely did not expect what just happened, and neither did the person inside expect someone to walk in.
You are peeking your head into Kim Namjoon's room, which isn't a bad thing at all, but his eyes are fixed on you as his mouth hangs open in embarrassment.
He was listening to a song you know all too well, no, he wasn't just listening, he was enjoying it. He enjoyed ‚Expensive girl‘. He danced to it.
„That never happened.“ he says emotionless.
„Deal.“
You know exactly why he's embarrassed, but since he doesn't know that, you decide to take a different route.
„That was a nice song, though. What's it called?“ you say with a soft smile.
Namjoons eyes widen even more when you said that.
„Are you- are you serious?“
„Yes, I am.“
„Fuck yeah it is right?! I knew someone will think so. You know what? I'm sick and tired of hiding that song. I'm sick and tired of pretending I don't like it. It's a good song, and thats the facts, ain't it like that?“ he says with way too much exitement and somehow a hint of aggression.
‚Who hurt this poor boy? Jesus christ, why does he feel so angry?‘
„The song is actually a cover, someone named Rap Monster made it. He changed his name though, but he's really sick!! You should give him a try,“ Namjoon says with a smirk.
You're having a hard time not to laugh. If only they'd know.
„I'm sure he is.“
„You're not in here for me, though, huh? You're looking for Taehyungs room. It's the last door at the end of the hall. After mine there's a couple other rooms following. You probably stumbled into some other rooms before mine, I guess I'm just... yeah, I guess I'm just trying to be nice so you won't waste your time.“
„Trying to be nice, huh?“ you laugh.
„Yeah, I mean, how could I not? You promised not to tell anyone about what just happened, so I'm just giving back the favor.“
„Oh, a real gentleman, I see.“
You both laugh out loud and remain smiling at each other quietly for a few more seconds afterwards. The guy that just seemed like an angry one now doesn't seem angry anymore at all; he suddenly feels warm.
„You're pretty cool, do you know that?“ you compliment him, your voice sincere.
Namjoons smile fades away, and he's staring at you with big eyes.
„I'll go now. Keep your nice taste in music up, alright?“
He doesn't say anything. Instead, he just nods a couple times.
Poor guy. You must have flustered him, although you have to say that this expression looks pretty cute on his face.
With a smile on your face, you wave him goodbye as you close the door behind you.
Tumblr media
Namjoon's a decent man. At least he's told you where Taehyungs room is.
So here you are, walking towards the end of the hall, and as you reach it you realize that you're facing another problem. Just as you thought you might finally be able to get this night started, you are standing in the middle of two doors.
‚At least its a 50:50 chance now... instead of tons of possible doors that could be the right one.‘
Namjoon really could have mentioned if it was the left or the right door. But well, you're thankful that you didn't have to open the other 5 doors thanks to his hint, so you're not complaining.
‚Fuck it, let's just go with the left door.‘
Knocking first, you open the door ever so slowly before you step inside a bit. You can't see anyone to your left, but as your head turns over to the right, you find Jimin sitting on his bed in a cute pajama set.
This is probably the purest thing you've ever seen. He was reading a book, and as he faces you, your eyes lock. He looks as if he's absolutely mesmerized; his eyes wide and lips slightly parted, and you'd be lying if you'd say that this moment doesn't make your heart skip a beat.
„....I- uh.... I'm sorry.... wrong room,“ is all you can bring out, your eyes still locked.
He slowly nods at your words.
There's a short moment of silence before you cut the tension that lays thick in the air.
„I should... uhm... yeah,“ you stutter as you point over your shoulder with your thumb. Again, he only nods in response.
Just the second before you close the door, you can hear Jimin whispering a quiet ‚wow‘ under his breath.
Tumblr media
As soon as it's closed, you're leaning onto his door. What the fuck was that?
While you're leaning there, though, your eyes fall onto the door in front of you.
Taehyungs door.
‚Alright, y/n. Game on.‘
