Wandavision Ep 4

I have no people in my house to scream about this with and thus I shall be liveblogging my watching experience. Spoilers ahead, please only read once you’ve watched the episode!

oh? are we finally acknowledging the fact that the snap would have drastically changed the world? looking at that trauma now are we?

I already miss the Wandavision intro. superior to the marvel one by FAR

SWORD HQ looks like a train station. Or the JLA hall from young Justice

they went thru the effort to remove the security clearance from everybody who was dusted haha

my girl Monica getting some recognition in the house! Yes appreciate her!

hmm so SWORD was around before the snap? Working before IW on a space program? It makes sense that their funding was slashed and the program stopped but this could have Implications for world tech

The more I see Monica the more I love her? “I was the only choice” “I wasn’t going to say it” QUEEN

LET HER GO TO SPACE COWARDS

she does not need more time! Like any proper Marvel character she does her grieving through fighting aliens!

THE MAGIC TRICK COP FROM ANT MAN AND THE WASP

this witness seems VERY protected if even their family has forgotten them

“No such place!” Wish I had the confidence of this guy standing in front of the Westview sign proclaiming it doesn’t exist

the helicopter! now we’re getting somewhere

“Careful Rambeau!” don’t worry she comes from a long line of experts in touching weird energy fields

DARCY MY GIRL

astrophysics? a step up from poly sci I congratulate you!

“Dr Lewis” you tell him girl wow I’m proud of her she’s done so well

as an actual astrophysics student I Will be judging the science

Interesting using microwaves. This probably indicates that she does most of her work with radiowaves. Astrophysics is very familiar with all EMR but as far as I’m aware more spectral analysis is done with radiowaves than microwaves, but they’re right next to each other so easy for her to recognize

Analog system of delivering a television signal over radio waves! It’s legit although a little weird they didn’t mention radio waves by name

hello mr beekeeper. methinks this mission will not go as planned

So sitcom laugh tracks sound pretty creepy in a military base

oh I know this show! This is a good episode

...technically all radiation dates back to the Big Bang that’s not important information

the universe knows that this sitcom is literally all we want from the world

so are the credit names all in universe characters who are important? Or is that a massive fourth wall break?

fandom levels of analysis happening here

Hey! It looks like they got more episodes than we did! release the tapes marvel. where’s the missing wandavision eps

unsure why they made Darcy an astrophysicist at this point. She appears to be tracking down people and doing stuff with wavelength emission which there are regular physicists who do that stuff too? astrophysics is more for stuff like, yknow STARS. of the non television sort

So they’re also getting the commercial breaks? I hope they’re analyzing the heck out of those with a therapist as well as scientists

how long has this poor man been crawling through the sewers?

They’re all as invested as I am in watching Wanda and Vision be cute, this makes me very happy

“you want any” HE THOUGHT SHE MEANT BABIES I’M DYING

wow they’re really not getting any of the same creepy stuff we get huh? dang that editing

full anti Mr Rogers moment here

so this is the first time we’ve seen Wanda using her powers in the form of red lightning again isn’t it?

Also like. Full sympathy for Monica but I cannot help but cheer for Wanda. You go girl, one woman neighborhood watch, evict that outsider

she just wants to be happy with her family guys! Just leave her alone!

OH GOSH OH NO THE IW FLASHBACKS ARE HERE

well it is final. This couple will kill me. Wanda’s literally keeping Vision alive through the power of sheer will and created an AU to keep him safe and give them a place where they can be happy

“It’s all Wanda.” Yeah that’s right, this is what happens when your most powerful Avenger is given literally the worst hand of cards ever and no therapy!

Also can’t believe it’s canon that Wanda’s a better writer than all of Marvel

Wanda and Vision and Billy and Tommy on the couch together! A happy perfect family!

Final thoughts: although I enjoyed getting to see Monica and Darcy and Jimmy I cannot help but be sad Wanda and Vision did not get as much screen time (heh)

I am torn between wanting SWORD to rescue the missing town and just. letting Wanda live her life geez people

Also is the beekeeper gone? what happened to him? Did he get shot back into the sewers? Is this why the time period keeps changing?

Stay tuned for next Friday I guess as we receive more answers and questions! I love this show

EPISODE SEVEN

“I AM THRIVING. ABSOLUTELY THRIVING.” - joey

HOH: Nathan UPSIDE DOWN: Emma NOMINEES: Jev & Kiki POV: Joshua FINAL NOMINEES: Josh C & Kiki EVICTED: Josh C (6-0)

ARIA

So,,,i highkey fucked up but all good things come to an end, I couldn't play the middle forever but the way it ended was just a little earlier than i expected. Also i handled the backlash of the dpov HORRIBLY! I did so many things wrong this week its insane even though i was on all day calling people i still fucked up,,,but its fine nothing i can really do to change that. But from here i want to fix things and do better, which does start with addressing where I fucked up so lets start with that woot woot (also holy shit that double was so draining this is the first time ive felt legitimately tired in a while and its only 1 am) 

1. COMP FLOPS

-literally all my allies flopped on the comps when we REALLY needed to win and its even worse combined with the information I was told where people told me they were throwing just to do well instead- its clear they weren't being honest with me and I settled into their lies without an ounce of hesitation 

2. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

I just really settled certain things poorly leading up to this night, i think somewhere i majorly fucked up is with emma, if i was able to get her to vote out nick or get jacob to dpov someone she would vote out i would be in a much better position atm but i didn't and therefore ive exposed myself. And if i was able to receive knowledge of her rose gold dpov before hand i couldve worked out a new plan that way

3. DAMAGE CONTROL

This is where i **truly** fucked up and its gonna show in my jury management too, like theres NO way i could ever get nicks vote at this point in time. Also my gut instinct after the vote was to lie about the way i voted to kiki/joshua/nick/jev when i shouldve came clean and used a bullshit excuse about how i heard nick was after me or something. It's gonna damage my relationships with all of them

SO wabam here i am slightly fucked due to me being a mess but its okay!! I'm still in the game and while im not in as good as a position as I was last time im still certain i can get back into everyones good graces!! And i mean this vote did reveal that a lot of people consider me to be in a duo with them??? which um is kinda weird HBFSHDF Like joey and emma were both calling us duo of the season and i was like....k cute cool totally called that and knew we were a duo yup yup- FBHJDSBF LMAO but i mean in terms of my own position you have the two trios (jacob/bri/nathan and jev/kiki/joshua) who are going to go after each other with Josh C and Emma leaning toward jev/kiki/joshua while me and joey lean towards jacob/bri/nathan. Its crazy that its literally f10 and its five versus five with hardly any true middle player (for now wink wonk) 

But now that nick is out I need to think about whats next and whats my next big move. I think rn im involved with a lot of moves but im not the face of them (bri using pov on nathan, jacob dpoving bri) and such but if i want to win I have to make a move of my own and DEF need to work on jury management bc again nick is gonna hate my guts after reading my gbm,,,as yousef would say "oopsie whoopsie" so I think from here I need to get back in jev/kiki/joshua's good graces SOME how and im really tempted to come clean about my vote bc i think thats going to hurt me in the long run and theres literally already an alliance of all five of that side so like....whats the point of sewing mistrust but also, i do kinda want to try just being a dirty crime snake this game and seeing how much control I truly have on this game. Literally EVERYONE except those three knows my true vote and i've told them all to keep it to themselves so we'll see what happens,,,, im kinda tempted to pin the vote on emma just for funsies and tell them that "jacob told me hes close to emma" or some bs like that but also,,,thats kinda mean yknow? Its also a testament to test how much that trio trusts me which im GUESSING is less than emma but who knows maybe ill get lucky :DD 

Anyways in terms of moving on I really need someone who actually likes me to join jury so its not completely set against me the whole time but also im not sure how thats gonna go down ugh. I mean in terms of end game my options are starting to become limited because nathan/bri/jacob would all BODY me at the end bc at this point they've been the face of big moves and I hope my big move can be turning on one of them and getting them out at some point so when i really start to look at a realistic f2 I can win,,, im kinda leaning toward my new duos of emma or joey which is kinda a shocker to me too lemme tell u HFBSDF but joey's perception of the game seems,,,,messy and I think i can beat him while emma is def doing better but she hasnt snapped yet so i think i can maybe beat her. And then jev/joshua/kiki depends im not sure yet but the thing with them is none of them are gonna want to bring me to the end which is super frustrating (i mean i did just snake em so,,,maybe its deserved) 

The thing is that I like being honest about my vote so trying to have an honest game convo with any of those three is gonna be really hard,,,,esp considering they were all my targets for live night but here we are :') And i really dont know what to do at this point which is really annoyinggg (annoying @ myself theyre all lovely) I think im gonna have to wait a bit before i can try getting them all to fully trust me rn i dont know this has been such a mess but im doing my best!! Before i end this probably poorly aging paragraph its trust ranking time

1.myself (FUCK, and i cant stress this enough, EVERYONE)

HUGE GAP

2.Brianna (shes slowly becoming more stuck in jacob's trap but i do still think shes loyal to me, god IS a woman!!!)

3.Jacob (hate having this man so high bc hes bodying this game but he tells me a lot ig :/ )

ANOTHER GAP

4. Nathan (we need to call and discuss live night but he isnt going to like nominate me or anything)

5.Joey (apparently we're a f2?? not sure where that happened but also hes cagey idk)

-smol gap-

6.Josh C (told me his alliance!! shame he doesnt know im gonna rat him out to my side teehee)

7.Emma (we're also a duo?? almost forgot about that but i fucked her over here a bit but i can build the trust back up i THINK)

anothe gap

8.Jev (he talked to me after live night and didnt ask about my vote so thats cute....not sure where we stand...help)

9.Kiki (we talked briefly after the vote but idk if they realized im a snake yet)

10.Joshua (the silence is deafening) 

Not happy w/ my position yet and im likely to just come clean to joshua in a call tmrow because hes honestly really sweet and his friendship means a lot to me but i need to figure out how I leave me connection with jacob/bri out of it.. ill think of something

praying im not the most hated here but if i am it wouldnt be the first time ig, and thats on pewiod <3

JOEY

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I AM THRIVING. ABSOLUTELY THRIVING. Not a damn soul is coming after me, and more importantly, I have numbers on my side, and no one’s gonna be pissed off at me on BOTH sides of the house. People say Josh C is playing both sides? Nah, it’s me. I need him out because I’m trying to ride that middle man status. My ideal plan is to see Emma go home next week, so that way I ain’t responsible. I want to get rid of Jacob at Final 7, and I will damn sure make that happen. Aria and I have a Final 2 that I plan on sticking to. Seeing Nick go was sad, but good lord it was I-C-O-N-I-C.

EMMA

Everything in this game lately has honestly pissed me off first it was me getting blindsided during live night even though i didnt really want to vote nathan if i was being honest i wanted brianna out over nathan because i thought nathan would be more easier to work with them boom Dpov and boom nick going i am like a little unsure if i regret using the dpov or not i do regret it well because nathan won hoh and sent me to the upside down and nick probably wouldnt try super hard for hoh but then again it seemed my so called allies were probably more closer to nick but i am not even sure my so called low confidence is my weakness in my games but i dont know how to be more confident pretty sure everyone beats me in the end at this point unless if i win an hoh if i do at this point Jacob/Brianna/even nathan getting nominated i didnt want nathan out before like if i won hoh i would of put him to the upside straight up nominate brianna and jacob if one of them goes off the block joey gets put up as a pawn after the upside down week im gonna do whatever to make it to the end idc if i go to the end with somebody i cant beat i just want to make this game enjoyable for me as i can i dont want to float for awhile then bring a goat to the end NNN 

EMMA

my shit list  in order to who i target to who isnt on my rader

Jacob > Nathan > Brianna > Joshua = Aria > Jev > Kiki/Josh C > Joey

who i like most to who is most annoying to play on a game level (i dont really hate or dislike anyone on a personal level)

Aria > Jev > Joshua *tiny gap*  Nathan > Kiki/Josh C >>>>>>>>>>> Jacob > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Joey = brianna also joey would be higher but he lied to me for no reason even tho i didnt mind putting alot of trust in me and i love brianna on a personal level but girl i am not good socially with her which is my fault and her fault also jacob kinda assumed stuff about me like not big stuff like meta  but he still told other people except me (people who are out who i love)  Gina/Jakey > Saira=Nick=Monty=Mo *small gap* Nash >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dog shit > Taylers dinner (dylan and the og homies know it) >>>>>>>>>>>> DEM

but yeah this game has made me happy because everyone is nice except dem but its been hard to play it because if i felt better i think i would of been playing a 100x times better game

JEV

So I'm safe but it comes at the cost of one of my two favourite people in this game. I've arguably grown closest to Josh C throughout this game, but I promised Joshua that if he saved me with veto I'd vote however he wanted and he wants Josh C to leave over Kiki. This week is me and Nash as final noms levels of ugly.

Goldilocks || 05

SURPRISE, SURPRISE TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY, HAPPY 600~

Rated T (language and suggestive themes)

Summary: After getting evicted, your two best friends Jimin and Taehyung offer you a place to stay until you get back on your feet. Needless to say, with a part time job and a mountain of student debt, that’s not happening any time soon. Eventually, they DO become really fond of having you around, helping with chores and even splitting rent. So when you come home one day to find someone has been sleeping in your couch-bed, well… it’s something you won’t take lightly.

Word Count: 3.4k

Out of context Goldilocks quote: “What the hell do you want now? Need me to wash your underwear for you too?”

✩✩✩♔✩✩✩

With your manager giving you hardly any hours at work, it was no mystery why you were eventually evicted from your old apartment. How could you keep up with the ridiculous rent prices? It was a question your landlord apparently had the answer to while you… didn’t.

Still, even if you were chronically late you always paid. That was one of the few things you could take pride in. Because of this, even after she kicked you out four months ago, you were determined to not owe that nasty lady anything.

You stare at the envelope in your hand, stained slightly at the corner with what’s hopefully coffee. This is it, the last one. You’d gotten paid earlier in the morning via a direct deposit and as soon as you stick this in the mailbox, you won’t have any more ghosts from your old life chasing you. At least, that’s what you hope.

Shoving the envelope in the slot, you step away quickly and don’t look back.

Now all you have to do is worry about your student debt… yeah, okay, that specter will hang around for a while, but not in the same way the old apartment would.

You hop back into the car and buckle your seatbelt with a long exhale.

“How do you feel?” Jimin asks from the driver’s side, giving you an encouraging smile.

“Great,” you admit, letting out a laugh to relieve the last of the tension that had been slowly settling in your bones for the past few months, but had mostly evaporated instantaneously when the payment left your hand. “Thanks for driving.”

“No problem, ____,” Jimin gives your thigh a pat before pulling back into traffic. “But I did it for kind of… selfish reasons. I’m taking you to get smoothies.”

“Man, if smoothies are selfish I can’t wait to find out what ‘generous’ means to you.”

His smile falters for only a second, “Yeah…”

Twenty minutes later, you find yourself sitting next to Jimin on a park bench. Thankfully, the rain had stopped sometime in the night, but it had left everything a little damp.

Including the bench.

“Maybe smoothies weren’t the best idea,” Jimin shivers, but the humor is clear in his voice.

“Too late,” you take a long sip, enjoying the cold. “You paid and I’ve already drank half. Wait. Drank or drunk?”

“Drank. Wait…”

“I know right?”

You share a laugh, though his seems more forced. Clearly, Jimin had something to tell you. He didn’t drag you out of the apartment on your one day off this week so you could shiver and drink smoothies, but you weren’t about to force it out of him. Instead, you’d simply talk until he was comfortable which, knowing Jimin, might take a while.

He hums thoughtfully, then says, “Yeah, drank.”

“Okay, I’ve already drank half. So unless you want me vomit it back into this cup-”

“____, I’m gay.”

That was fast.

You purse your lips as you let out a small, “Ah.”

Silence.

Jimin slides forward to sit on the edge of the bench, raking his fingers through his hair, gaze darting rapidly between his shoes and you. His voice goes up a few notes in pitch, “I tell you the biggest secret of my life- something I’ve been keeping to myself for ten years… You’re the first person I say this to and all I get is an ‘ah?’”

You can’t tell if he’s upset, frustrated, or still nervous. Maybe a mix of the three. He probably thinks you’re too busy judging him to form a coherent response.

But in reality, you’re just deciding whether or not to tell him that you’ve suspected it for a while. But ever since discovering the dildo and gay porn magazines in his underwear drawer, you’ve pretty much known. It wasn’t the “gay” thing that subsequently made it difficult to make eye contact for the next week- but the fact that every time you saw Jimin’s face, all you could think about was what he might look like while shoving that monster of a dildo repeatedly into his clenching entrance, lube dripping down his toned thighs while his free hand- yeah that’s enough of that train of thought.

The only thing you want to ask him is why magazines? Wouldn’t it just be easier to clear internet history? Sadly, even you know that’s a little inappropriate right now. So you opt for the first thing that will come out of your mouth.

“Look, Chim, I’m glad you feel safe telling me.”

Seems like a good start.

“But…?” he prompts, wincing.

“No buts,” you assure with a smile and a playful nudge to his arm. “You’re twenty three, not living with your parents, and can do whatever the hell you want. I’m here for you. One hundred percent. Unless you start smoking. That crap stinks and I’d rather be a hobo than smell it all the time.”

Jimin laughs, clearly relieved, and wraps you in a tight hug, “Thanks for being so cool about it.”

Instead of returning the embrace, you ruffle his hair and shove him away, “None of this sappy shit either.”

“C’mon, you’re a girl. You’re supposed to love this kind of stuff.”

“Park Jimin, are you generalizing my preferences based on my gender?”

“Yes.”

You press your hand to your chest, feigning shock, “Scandalous.”

A wicked smile spreads across his lips as he sings, “You wanna give me a hug.”

“You’re putting words in my mouth,” you sing right back.

“____ wants to give her little Chiminnie a hug,” he slowly shimmies closer.

“Yeah, okay. Fine.”

He wraps you in his arms, hair tickling your cheek, a happy hum in his throat. It takes a few seconds, but you eventually give in completely, returning the embrace. You’d never tell him, but you love hugging Jimin. Not only does he look like someone who’s pleasant to cuddle with in general, but he always manages to faintly smell like freshly ground coffee.

“You kind of scared me for a second,” you say, giving his back a soft rub even if he’d barely be able to feel it through the multiple layers of jackets. “I thought you were going to tell me that stupid kid is staying for longer than this weekend.”

Jimin’s grip suddenly gets tighter, causing you to instinctively try to pull away. He doesn’t let you. A low, guilty laugh leaves his throat as he replies, “Ha, right. I… wouldn’t do that.”

“Chim.”

“What?”

All feelings of companionship and bonding bleed away at the thought of Jungkook staying in the apartment. A weekend? You could pretend to be nice. For anything longer? There would obviously be more problems than a spilled bucket of water.

And then something dawns on you.

“Do you like him?”

Jimin stiffens and this time he tries to move away. You quickly rewrap your arms around his neck, making him drag your body sideways.

“Chim, answer the question,” you assert through your teeth as he desperately begins pulling at your elbows.

“I honestly think it’s best I don’t…”

You make sure your lips are directly next to his ear before you threaten, “I will lick ten of the pencils in your desk.”

His voice adopts a genuine tone of dread, “But how will I know which ones?”

“Exactly.”

Jimin sags in defeat, “Yes, okay? I kind of… maybe… like-”

“Don’t you dare say his name,” the words leave your lips before you even know you want to speak them. Is he Voldemort?

“Well what do you want me to call him? Jinglekook?” Jimin’s response is obviously meant to be funny, but you must admit… at least the new name doesn’t make you want to rip someone’s head off.

You finally release your death grip on Jimin’s neck, “I think it suits him nicely.”

Your friend rolls his eyes, “Fine. I like Jinglekook.”

Trying not to throw up on reflex, you grimace, “Why? He’s awful.”

“Because Jung… Jinglekook is thoughtful, strong, helpful,” as Jimin speaks, his eyes shine with the telltale sparkle of rose-tint. “And you have to admit he’s hot.”

You would admit nothing of the sort.

“He’s also arrogant, stubborn, and stealing my couch.”

Jimin giggles, a sound that takes you by surprise because it’s usually only something Taehyung does. He jabs a finger softly into your shoulder, “Yknow, I’ve never seen you get this passionate about anything.”

“Don’t get used to it,” you pull away, taking a purposefully long sip of your smoothie which you somehow managed to not spill. He looks like he wants to say something else, but you decide you’ve talked about the little shit enough for now. You swallow quickly and ask, “So have you told Tae yet?”

“Told him what?”

“That you have a thing for burritos and not tacos.”

“What does Mexican food have to do with…? Oh… no not yet.”

“So that means you and Tae haven’t…?” you trail off. Jimin’s eyebrows knit in confusion until you clear your throat suggestively and add, “I mean, you guys are housemates and spend a lot of time together.”

His cheeks dust a vibrant pink, “No! No, he’s not my type.”

“Huh? But he’s everyone’s type,” the comment is only half serious.

“Not mine,” Jimin scratches the back of his neck with an embarrassed smile. “I mean, sure. Tae and I have jerked off together a few times-”

“That’s way too much information.”

He continues talking right over you, “But we haven’t touched each other.”

And there it is, the next image that’ll be stuck in your head for a week.

You fight the urge to clamp your thighs together while simultaneously wanting to vomit. Couldn’t your body at least pick a reaction and stick to it? You distract yourself by asking, “Okay but are you planning on telling him? Or do I have to keep this a secret?”

“I was going to tell him tonight actually. But back up to that ‘Tae is everyone’s type.’ Were you projecting?” Jimin’s question has this odd sort of suggestive tone that you don’t quite understand.

“Projecting?”

He nods, wiping a small drop of water off of his cheek, “Yknow, asking if me and Tae… because you and Tae…”

“What?”

As the pavement around you slowly begins growing darker with the next round of rain, you can’t help but gape at your friend. The dream. He couldn’t know. You hadn’t told anyone.

Jimin shrugs, “Never mind. I thought I heard you moan his name last night. But maybe I’m just going crazy.”

Then you remember. You did moan his name. But out loud? What’s worse is, if Jimin heard next door, it’s highly likely Jungkook heard too. And you don’t even want to think about Taehyung, who had been in the room with you.

“Totally just you going crazy, Chim,” you say, laughing a little too loud.

With the storm rolling in, both of you decide to head back to the apartment, suddenly, silently agreeing to dodge all serious topics. You complain about the crack in the ceiling and Jimin grumbles about his newest coworker. The casual conversation does a great job at keeping away thoughts of Jimin and Taehyung sitting on the couch, laptop open, both flies undone, legs spread as they-

“I need to study,” you announce as soon as you’re in the apartment, trying to dispel the naughty images from your mind. It’s not a lie though. You have an essay to bullshit your way through.

Despite having closed the window that Jimin left open, the chill bites at the tip of your nose and cheeks. You would’ve thought he’d be afraid of the rain getting in, but there are some things he just doesn’t think about. So now you’re bundled under his blankets, using his laptop to write your essay because you aren’t fortunate enough to be able to replace your old one after accidentally dropping it.

You might have used Tae’s, but after last night, you’re kind of avoiding his room. That, and you’re a little afraid of what you’ll find on it. The last thing you need is to think about what kind of kinky shit he’ll have sitting casually on his desktop.

“This message also reflects in the aforementioned plays, but in a way that ultimately may cause the reader to question the integrity of Socrates’s claim.”

Integrity? Is that the right word? You drag the cursor over it, searching for a definition. Honesty? That’s not what you want. But it also mentions “quality,” which is good. You guess.

A knock on the door pulls your concentration away from Jimin’s laptop and the document that barely has a single paragraph written.

“What?” you ask, not looking away from the troublesome word.

“Noona, what setting should I use on the dryer for the towels?” Jungkook’s voice permeates through the door, a sound that turns your stare into a hard glare.

“How am I supposed to know?”

“You’ve used it more than me?” there’s a tinge of exasperation in his voice.

You want to tell him to shove the towels up his ass- because if he hadn’t made you spill the bucket of water last night, this wouldn’t be a problem in the first place. But of course with the new information that this is the douchebag Jimin is crushing on, you feel obligated to at least keep up the premise of civility.

“For anything without fabric softener, I always use medium heat. Air dry makes them feel crusty.”

“Wait… I wasn’t supposed to use fabric softener?”

You want to slam your face against the computer screen, but instead you set the laptop aside, get off of the bed, and walk to the door, opening it.

“Every other wash to keep the towels absorbent,” you keep your voice steady despite the hot flash of anger that floods through your veins as soon as you see his wide eyes, pursed lips, and stupid golden hair that’s now sticking up in ridiculous, sleep induced directions.

Kid can’t even comb his bedhead? It’s two o-freaking-clock in the afternoon.

“Ah, I didn’t know that,” he gives you a small smile that settles unpleasantly in the pit of your stomach for reasons you can’t understand.

It was an honest mistake. You shouldn’t be mad.

Key would: shouldn’t.

“Well now you do,” you somehow muster a smile to shoot back at him, even if it’s a tad derisive.

“Alright thanks,” he nods awkwardly, then spins on his heel and walks back down the hall.

Taking in a calming breath, you close the door and plop back on Jimin’s bed.

Integrity. Right…

Another knock.

“What?” it’s harder to keep the blatant annoyance out of your tone this time.

“I forgot to ask what we’re planning on doing for dinner.”

You glare at the door like he can see your expression through it, “How am I supposed to know?”

“You’re the responsible one, aren’t you?”

Yes and no.

Running your fingers through your hair, you take another deep breath, “I can’t cook for shit and Tae only hoards snacks so Jimin does the food related stuff, but he won’t be home for another few hours. You want something? You make it.”

“Alright,” is Jungkook’s muffled reply.

You roll your eyes, settling back down to scrutinize your thesis.

Integrity will just have to work for now. After all, it’s a first draft. But “may cause the reader?” Is that too passive-?

Another knock.

You slam the laptop shut, jumping to your feet and throwing open the door again. This time, you make no effort to hide the irritation in your voice, “What the hell do you want now? Need me to wash your underwear for you too?”

Jungkook’s eyebrows knit, upper lip pulling back, “No? I was going to make jajangmyeon and I came over here to ask if you wanted any, but never mind.”

Shame runs like ice water down your spine and for a second, you think he’s mad enough to leave but for some reason, even after his dismissive comment, the golden haired boy doesn’t move. His gaze continues to steadily hold yours. He’s expecting something. An apology?

Jungkook has done nothing to deserve this. After spilling beer all over you, he’s literally done nothing. And yet here you are, yelling at him. For what? Interrupting an essay for a class you’ve resigned to passing by a hair’s width anyway?

Besides that, he’s made inappropriate comments and been as pliable as a diamond (i.e. not flexible), but Taehyung says rude things all the time and Jimin is stubborn as well. Why is it only annoying when Jungkook does it?

Maybe Jimin was right. Maybe it’s time you actually stop being so petty. And jajangmyeon sounds pretty good…

“Okay,” you take a deep breath, leaning against the doorframe as you cross your arms. “I’m sorry I snapped. I’m just a little stressed out because-”

“Oh how cute. You think I want an apology,” he scoffs, cutting you off, head tilting.

His words slice straight through your gut. Derisive, arrogant little shit.

“Listen, I’m trying to be a good person. If we’re going to be living in the same-”

“Good person?” Jungkook cuts you off again, this time with a humorless laugh. “You’re the one who’s been an asshole to me. Ever since I got here. Glaring, threatening, pushing me around. Even when I’m trying to help you.”

Embarrassment floods through your veins, but by now you’re a master at denial and converting it to anger.

He continues, “One little apology isn’t going to fix this.”

You’re tempted to slap him. “What do you want? For me to suck your fucking dick?”

Jungkook lets out a belittling laugh, “Like you’d know how.”

And then you realize why you’re always mad at him, why he is so “unexplainably” irritating. He’s baiting you, provoking you, probing for a reaction.

Why? You’re not sure, but like hell you’ll give him what he wants.

“I guess that’s something you’ll never find out,” with a deep breath, you manage to gather your composure and give him a faux sympathetic smile. “Now, I’ve got an essay to do, so run along, little boy.”

Seeing that the argument had lost its heat, Jungkook looks like he’s about to do exactly that- leave, but then those words come out of your mouth. Little boy. And he freezes.

Coming home straight from the park, Jimin had left the house a few minutes after dropping you off. Apparently, his boss called him in last minute for a shift. Meanwhile, Taehyung had been out all day, “running errands,” but because Jimin did most of the grocery shopping and you bought the other household essentials, you have no idea what he’s doing.

Whatever the case, you’re alone with Jungkook and no one would know for a good few hours if he murdered you.

A small smirk tugs at the corners of his lips as the wall of muscle suddenly takes a step forward, emphasizing the height he has over you.

“Little boy, noona?” he asks slowly, carefully, tongue darting out to wet his bottom lip, a lock of golden hair falling in front of his left eye. Jungkook’s dark gaze seems to send needles straight to your retinas. You feel naked in front of him, despite several layers of clothes. Not vulnerable so much as helpless. Hot wrath floods straight to the bottom of your stomach.

Unable to trust the stability of your legs, you have no choice but to stand your ground lest your knees buckle. You want to shout at him, but you also know that if you do, Jinglekook will know he’s getting under your skin.

“Yes. Little boy, Kookie,” you retort and close the door on his face. The “thump” is proof enough.

You’re not sure whether that could be classified as a “win.” Sure, you’d gotten the last word, but what the hell is going on inside your stomach? The image of Jungkook’s smirk burns into your memory, the flash of his tongue against his lips. Heat, tightness, frustration. You must have eaten something bad.

The smoothie.

It’s raining, you’re wet, you drank an icy beverage, the window was left open, and maybe your body had enough. Yes, that has to be it. Jimin’s room?

Too cold.
