BTS Reaction|| You’re an idol and you have a past together [Request] [Part Two]

Part One: Here

Seokjin:

You got back into the car with your manager and she glanced you up and down taking in your look to see if she could determine what had happened between you and Jin but you kept your mouth shut and stared out of the window, not wanting to go into details with her or anyone else about the breakup you had with Jin seven years ago, it was ancient history but still hurt as though it was a fresh wound.

"Let's just go home, I'm tired." You lied, your mind was racing at the thoughts of Jin, you wanted nothing more than to stay there with him, his arms wrapped around you tightly as he kissed you like he used to, you shook your head as if that would get rid of the thoughts and stared out of the car window as you began you slow drive home back to your apartment.

(X)

As soon as your manager left the apartment you went up to your bedroom, changing into some sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt, making yourself a cup of hot tea and going out onto the balcony to try and clear your head, you did this a lot whenever something was bothering you and it was usually where a lot of your new songs came from. 3 am sitting on your balcony and writing to get all the thoughts out of your head that wouldn't let you sleep, it was a great insomnia killer. You stared down at the streets below as drunken people began their stumbled walks home, and how some people began to get up for work, watching as your neighbour came out of his apartment across the road and went for his 4 am morning jog sending you a small wave before he went on his way.

"Y/n?!" You heard someone whisper yell, you looked behind you but no one was in the apartment, you frowned looking over the bars of your balcony to see Jin standing at your front door.

"Jin?!" You yelled at him, he stepped backwards and looked up to see where you were calling him from and he smiled, you used to do this before you both debuted. You would crawl out onto the balcony or the roof whenever you needed to clear your head,

"What are you doing here?" You questioned as he stood under your balcony and stared up at you, he nodded over at the front door.

"Let me in before dispatch sees this." You rushed down the staircase and swung open the front door, as soon as he walked inside and the door was shut behind him he wrapped his arms around your waist, you inhaled sharply as he pushed you up against the wall behind you pulling you close to him and kissing you, your hands tangled into his hair as you pulled his face as close to you as possible, his breathing quickened and so did yours and he smirked against your lips, pulling away to catch his breath, you were in shock that you just kissed him like that but you couldn't deny the chemistry that came from it.

"Jin-" He shook his head to stop you from talking and ruining the moment but what you wanted to say had to be said, you pulled your hands from his hair and unwrapped his arms from around your waist, pushing him to step back and he stared at you.

"We should just stay friends for now...It's the easiest way for us." His fingers traced along the hemline of your shorts, sending a shiver up your spine and a tingle throughout your entire body,

"No, I cannot just be your friend. It's not enough for me." You didn't want to voice out that you agreed with him if you did you would have to agree to date again but was it for the best.

"Jin I-"

"Don't say anything okay, just kiss me again and not think about it." He whispered stepping closer to you again, you wrapped your arms around his neck and brought your faces close to one another again.

"Jump." He whispered to you, you jumped and wrapped your legs around his waist, kissing him as he walked you up the stairs towards your bedroom neither of you thinking about the consequences afterwards and neither of you caring, it just felt good to be back with him. Someone that knew you well and someone who cared for you a lot,

"Be mine, and I'll make sure myself or anyone else will never hurt you again." He promised as he laid you down on the bed, kissing along your jawline and stopping when he got to your neck.

"All mine." He whispered to you, kissing and sucking along your jawline and pulling away and staring down into your eyes, your hands tangled into his hair as you stared back into his eyes,

"All yours." You repeated leaning up and kissing him on the nose,

"All yours." You whispered again to him, pulling his lips down to you and smiling against his lips as you did.

"I missed you." He whispered as he kissed down from your lips to your neck, stopping and looking up at you as if silently questioning if it was okay for him to be doing this, you nodded at him and he smirked.

"I missed you too Jinnie." You whimpered as you felt his lips connect with your neck, sure to leave purple marks you were going to have to bullshit your way out of when you saw your manager next, he chuckled glad he could still have that effect on you.

Yoongi:

You figured you would stay in the studio and wait for Yoongi to come back, you had nowhere to go and no one was expecting you home for hours yet so you waited. Waited for hours, reading through your phone, reading through magazines that were scattered around Yoongi's office and finally picking up a music composition book and reading through it. It was getting late though and your stomach was starting to growl, you didn't want to leave the studio in case he came back so you just ignored your stomach and waited.

(X)

When Yoongi came back into his studio he wasn't expecting to find you laying there on the leather sofa, he was shocked at first. It was 2 am, he'd expected you to have left and gone home by now, he slipped off his jacket and walked over to his shelves, taking off a blanket and laying it over your sleeping figure, he didn't want to disturb you so he sat down on his desk chair watching you as your chest slowly raised and fell as you slept away on his sofa, he groaned rolling the chair over to you and running his hand over your cheek, you were freezing. He turned up the heating and moved closer to you, taking your hands in his and trying to warm them up as you slept soundly next to him.

"You're so cute when you're sleeping." He whispered moving a strand of hair from your face and smiling as your lips started twitching in your sleep, you'd woken up when he took hold of your hands again but you didn't want to move anywhere, you liked the feeling of having Yoongi close to you again.

"I promised I would never hurt you and that's exactly what I did." He whispered to you, running his fingers over your knuckles, your stomach was doing flips at the small action but you stayed still, not wanting him to know you were awake just yet.

"I did what I had to do, they said no dating. I knew if I had to keep you as just a friend I wouldn't be able to control myself...I'd want to be with you every minute of every day...Seeing you today made me weak." He sniffled and you knew he was crying, you hummed in your 'sleep' rolling over onto your side so you could sneak a look at him, he was staring down at the floor so he hadn't noticed that you were awake just yet.

"Seeing you standing there with our boss it made me realise that everything I did was wrong but seeing you...Seeing you in front of me it brought back everything to me. Like nothing had changed. My love for you was still strong, though I will never admit it to the boys, I'd never hear the end of it." He let out a breathy chuckle and you smiled, eyes fully open now as you watched him talking to you, his fingers intertwining with your own and shaking a little.

"I want you to know I would never do anything to hurt you but I know there is nothing I can say to you to make you believe me." You closed your eyes as he shifted in his chair, turning to look at you he smiled sadly, moving the hair from your forehead and leaving a kiss on it.

"I love you Y/n," You couldn't hold it back anymore, you didn't want to go on pretending like you hadn't heard this so you grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him down for a real kiss, as soon as your lips met his it was as if the seven-year break never happened, he was shocked at first but eventually his hands travelled around your neck and he sat you up on the sofa, sitting in front of you and bringing him onto his lap.

"Fuck I missed you." You panted as you pulled away from him, looking him in the eyes and smiling.

"You're not lying? About everything you just said?" You wanted to make sure he was telling the truth to you, he nodded to you and held your face in his hands and he stared at you,

"The truth, I didn't want to do that to you but I had to." You nodded in agreement before kissing him again, almost knocking him back onto the sofa, the door opened with a chime and you both moved apart, turning to see Jungkook standing there with two coffees,

"I knew you'd be working late tonight...Didn't realise you had company, I'll leave you alone." The door shut again and you moved over to Yoongi again, snuggling your head on his shoulder and smiling as he wrapped his arm around you, his free hand taking hold of yours and rubbing it gently.

"So does this mean we're back together then?" He quizzed looking up at you, you pretended to think about it for a moment.

"If I can bring you late-night snacks and coffee." You whined to him, leaning over and kissing his cheek

Hoseok:

You spotted your manager talking to Namjoon and Yoongi, you were about to go and insert yourself into the conversation when you felt yourself being pulled out of the venue hall and down a string of hallways.

"Hobi! What are you doing?! Let go!" You yelled as he pushed you into an empty hotel room, shutting the door behind him, you placed your hands on your hips ready to demand answers but all you were met with was his lips. It wasn't an innocent kiss like before this one was hot, fiery and full of passion, one of his hands tucked round the back of your neck and the other around your waist pulling you closer to him, every inch in your body was telling you to push him away but your heart was crying out for you to kiss him back.

"Y/n." He whispered slowly, lingering out each letter of your name, you smiled your heart fluttering as he whispered your name like that.

"Hobi." You whispered doing the same with his name as he had done to yours and clasping your hands around his neck, kissing him and letting the world melt away, not caring about anyone but him. His hands rested below your ear and his thumb caressed your cheek as you pulled away from one another,

"Tell me you don't want this and I will leave." He whispered to you, walking you back towards a wall behind you, you looked up into his eyes and kicked off the heels you were wearing and wrapping your arms around his neck,

"Don't stop Hobi." You whispered to him trying to pull him down to kiss him again but he stopped you, placing both of his hands above you on the wall as if caging you in the room which you didn't mind at all.

"I don't want to be a fling Y/n. I want you back. I need you back." He whispered to you, his lips hovering above yours teasing you, you tried to kiss him but he pulled away and you whined out, yearning for his touch.

"Let's date, me and you. In secret, no one but us have to know, we can make it work Hobi." You promised, meaning every single word of it if it meant you never had to leave him or make him sad again.

"You're sure about this?" He questioned his hands wandering up to your face and cupping it in his hand.

"Nope, but...We'll make it work." You promised, leaning up and finally kissing him again, you wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him down to your level,

"I've missed you so, so much." You whispered as you kissed down his neck and heard a knocking at the door, you knew it was going to be security or one of your managers but right now you didn't care, all you cared about was Hobi being there with you, no one could get in without a key anyway.

"Leave it Hobi." You whispered as he pulled away and walked over to the door, you straightened up your dress and looked over at the door, your manager was pushing her way into the room and staring at you, her eyes glancing from you to Hoseok, his shirt was unbuttoned and your lipstick was all over his face

"What's going on here then?" You slipped back into the heels that were laid in front of you, you stared at Hobi.

"We're dating, if you have a problem with that you can fire me." You said taking a stand for yourself and not caring anymore. If being an idol meant you couldn't be with Hoseok then you didn't want to be an idol anymore, simple as that.

"You can't just date anyone you want to Y/n, we've been through this." You scoffed looking at Hoseok who was standing with his hands in his pockets, he didn't know where he stood in the situation, you walked over to him and took his hand from his pocket and linking your fingers together.

"Then I won't work for you, simple." You said to her, looking at Hoseok and deciding he was worth more than any kind of contact with a company that wouldn't let you be happy.

"I'll talk to this big boss." Your manager said, leaving the room without another word. Hoseok and you stood in silence for a couple of seconds before he finally spoke up.

"You're willing to give up everything for me?" He questioned looking down at you with loving eyes.

"Yes." You whispered back to him, standing up on your tiptoes and kissing his lips,

"But I do have a party to attend to, so I will go back to that...Call me when you're free." You said to him, going over to the hotel room door and going to find your manager again.

Namjoon:

Neither you or Namjoon spoke to one another after that night, you went back to not seeing each other and working separately, a part of you wanted him to reach out and see you again but another part of you wanted nothing to do with him and was glad he'd gone back to ignoring you.

"You're working on set next week." Your manager said coming into your room and interrupting your thoughts, you looked up from the table and she threw a script down in front of you, it was some advertisement for a car company which you'd agreed to months ago but there was another person in the advert.

"They haven't cast the second person yet, but I've been told the company have worked with someone they're trying to bring back." You nodded and flicked over the script, seemed like a normal script for an advert, you would be 'driving' the car and then doing something to show off the speciality of the vehicle that you were advertising.

"Sounds good." You said throwing the script down and going back to staring out of the window in your room, she sighed staring at you.

"You have to leave your house at some point, is he still on your mind?" You ignored her and stared out of the window, not wanting to answer a million questions to her right now.

(X)

"Look I didn't know it was going to be him and before you storm out of the building and kick-off, you signed a contract stating you would stay no matter one." Your manager said in a rush as she rushed to your side, you frowned looking up from the script to see what she was talking about when you saw Namjoon walking through the building, he was wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a leather jacket, your heart almost stopped as soon as your eyes locked on each other from across the room.

"It's fine." You said, getting up from the chair and going to find the director to ask if he wanted anything doing in a specific manner.

"You look breathtaking," Namjoon said as he came up behind you, you hummed and stared at the car that you were about to get inside of.

"Not talking to me?" He questioned you, you turned to look at him.

"I have nothing to say." You whispered, trying not to feel hurt as he acted as though the kiss never happened, you got into the car and waited for the director, Namjoon joined you.

"Why did you do it though? Was it just to make a joke out of me?" You questioned him, looking over at him he frowned and shook his head, not following along with what you were trying to talk to him about.

"You kissed me...I thought you wanted to get back together again, and then you just never called...You never got in touch." He went to say something but the director yelled action and you had to start acting.

(X)

You were almost finished shooting, you were filming a scene where you had to sit in the boot of the car and look up at the fake stars that would be edited in later, Namjoon was staring up at them and you were staring at him, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Kiss me again." You whispered to him without thinking, his eyes shot down to you and you nodded.

"Kiss me. Again." You repeated yourself but Namjoon didn't need to be told three times, his arms wrapped around your waist as he pulled you closer, your breathing becoming fast together, you smiled against his lips and put your hands in his hair, not wanting the kiss to ever stop. His hand drifted to your hip and settled there, shifting you closer to him in the boot of the car.

"Cut!" You pulled away from each other and the director walked over, clapping his hands together and cheering, luckily everyone in the room thought it was part of the acting and you got up and smiled at them all.

"Amazing! Better than we could have ever written!" You were excused away from everyone and Namjoon followed you into your dressing room.

"Kiss me." You giggled pulling him further into the room and shutting the door, he smirked pulling you closer to him and pinning you to the door so no one could barge right in.

"Namjoon, we have to be careful." You whimpered as he sucked on your neck, sure to leave a big purple mark for everyone to see.

"Says the one who just kissed me on camera." He chuckled moving your hair from your neck and kissing it again.

"I mean it," You whispered slapping his chest playfully and moving to stand away from him.

"I want us to be careful, dates like normal couples..." He nodded in agreement,

"Anything you want is yours, as long as your mine again."

Jimin:

You stood alone at the side of the stage while you and Yoongi waited for your cue to go on, you were going to say a few words about the song before the premiered the first episode for everyone in the cast and their guests.

"I'm sorry about Jimin," Yoongi said to you, you sent him a fake smile, you'd been through this after Jimin left your apartment that night. You went to see Yoongi and he said sorry for everything, but you told him it was fine and not to blame himself, you looked over at where Jimin was sitting and then looked back at Yoongi.

"Where's your date?" Yoongi quizzed looking over to where your date should be sitting but the seat was empty, you'd found someone to bring but it looked like they ditched you to be somewhere else, you did text the date but you got no response from him.

"Not coming apparently." You said to him, walking onto the stage and getting ready to talk into the microphone with him.

(X)

The night was going amazingly for Yoongi and everyone else, you, on the other hand, was doing everything in your power to get out of any situation that involved being near or around Jimin. Whenever he would worm his way into conversations you would make an excuse to leave and go to be with someone else, but it was getting harder as the night went on. There were fewer people to be around and you were trying to wait for you Uber in peace.

'Not coming, your manager's payment didn't come through, I don't do free dates' That was just perfect, you couldn't even get a fake date for the night, you let a few of the tears that had been welling up all night roll down your cheeks until you heard someone coming over to you, you wiped your face and looked over your shoulder wishing you hadn't.

"You okay?" You ignored Jimin going to walk back into the main area but he stopped you by taking hold of your hand.

"Leave me alone Jimin please." You pleaded with him, not wanting to fight him tonight or any night for that matter.

"Why are you crying?"

"Why do you care?!" You snapped back at him, a car pulled up and you knew it was your car, you stormed over to it and he got inside with you.

"Drive to the address she's given you." Before you could protest the driver had set off and you were in the back, crying into your hands at how pathetic you felt.

"So are you going to tell me why you were crying?" Jimin asked as he walked you into your apartment, you shook your head pointing at the door.

"You should leave." You sat down on the sofa and closed your eyes letting your head rest against the back of the sofa but Jimin sat down next to you.

"Not until I know you're okay." You sniffled and looked up at him, your mascara was running down your face and your makeup was ruined.

"I was...I was okay for seven years and then you walked back in as if nothing happened and that you can just pretend that everything is fine Jimin." You whispered finally letting the tears go, he gripped onto your face and sighed, he never wanted to make you cry like this, he never wanted you to hurt like this.

"Just leave, please. It'll be like before and I'll go back to pretending not to be in love with you still." You pleaded but he shook his head, bringing you into his chest and rubbing your back as you cried into his shirt, ruining the white and staining it with black stains.

"I'm never leaving you again, I promise." He whispered, not letting go of you even though you tried to push him away, but his grip tightened. You finally gave up and relaxed against him, listening to his heartbeat.

"I'm not leaving you." He promised, starting to sing Promise softly as he rocked you side to side, you closed your eyes as he sang to you.

"You promise?" He nodded and you looked up at him, it was going to take time to trust him again but you knew you needed him in your life, having him in your life made it feel completed and you knew being without him after this wouldn't feel the same anymore.

Taehyung:

You were standing on the stage looking out at your fans as you smiled and greeted them all, glancing around the arena and making small talk before your next song.

"Are we all having fun?!" You yelled to them earning some screens, you smiled and glanced over to the backstage area, spotting your family talking with someone but they were blocking whoever it was with their backs, you frowned and faced the front again.

"Good! I have a couple more songs left and then you all get to go home to bed or to study! I'm not being a bad influence on you all!" You joked turning back and nodding to the stage manager who was in charge of the music, the music started and you glanced over to your mum who was smiling at you and that's when you saw him. Taehyung was standing there watching you while he stood with your family, all of them smiling together at you. Your eyes met Taehyung's and you instantly started to feel nervous, there was a pit in the bottom of your stomach, you never got stage fright but seeing him watching you was sending you through the roof, you cleared your throat and began to sing along to the music.

(X)

"You did amazing sweetie!" Your mother said as you came off the stage, she wrapped her arms around you and you stared at Taehyung who was watching you carefully, you thanked your mum and hugged every family member, telling them to go and meet you at their favourite local restaurant and that the meal was on you tonight.

"See you soon baby." Your dad said, kissing your temple and giving Taehyung a handshake and saying goodbye, as soon as they were gone your smile faded and you turned to face him.

"What is it Tae?" You questioned, he looked at you and then over at your family making sure they were out of earshot before he started speaking to you.

"I wanted to see you again, is that such a crime?" You shook your head agreeing with him and then looking over your shoulder to try and think of a way out of this.

"You nailed the choreography, Sowon did well." You nodded smiling at the memory of the endless times in the practise room.

"She's a good teacher." You mumbled walking further into the venue and going to look for your dressing room. You needed to get changed if you were going to see your family, you got to the door and opened it,

"I have to go Tae." You whispered looking at him but he shook his head, taking hold of your hand that was on the door handle and looking into your eyes.

"Please don't, let's go back to the way things used to be." He said with a sad smile, trying to convince you to stay by his side.

"I'm not losing you again. Even if I have to show up at every concert and every practice to prove I'm not going to leave you again, I will." You sighed looking at him and then over at the stage managers who were all staring over at you, you pulled him into the dressing room not wanting to drawer more attention to you both than you needed.

"Do I need to call the police?" You teased trying to make light of the situation but he shook his head.

"No, but listen to me...You and I...We belong together Y/n, you know it, I know it, even your family knows it."

"I do but Tae it doesn't change the past, you just walked out." He shook his head, he was going to do whatever it took to prove that he loved you and was going to stay this time.

"Just...Just come to dinner with me and my family okay...We'll talk more after that." You said to him, going over to your changing screen to get changed out of the stage clothes and into your regular ones.

"Does that mean it's a date?" You groaned closing your eyes and stripping from the clothes you were in, dropping them into a nearby laundry basket.

"It's the start of a friendship that could lead to a date." You promised you couldn't deny that you wanted to get back together with him.

Jungkook:

You stared over at your phone, it had been ringing like crazy for the last hour but you'd been ignoring it. All different messages coming from Jungkook and Changbin. You groaned rolling over to check it and seeing another missed call from Changbin, taking his total to thirty and Jungkook's to sixty-seven, you slid the call button and rang Changbin back, wanting to know what was so important that he was calling you at 2 am for.

"I was asleep." You lied when he answered the phone, he laughed at you knowing full well that you weren't asleep but then his tone turned to a more serious one.

"You need to go and see Jungkook." You sighed laying down in your bed and staring up at the ceiling, you didn't want to go and see him.

"He's bad Y/n, really bad. Namjoon called Minho and you have to see him, he's refusing to see anyone but you." You rolled over and sat up in the bed.

"It's 2 in the morning." Your phone beeped signalling another call was trying to come through.

"Fine. I'll go." You mumbled hanging up the phone and going to find some pants and a set of car keys. You weren't getting changed out of the oversized shirt you always wore to bed, there was no point.

(X)

"Where is he?" You questioned Namjoon as he opened the front door to the dorms, you walked through the dorms and Namjoon showed you to Jungkook's room where you found him laying on the bed crying, you looked around and there were empty bottles of Soju everywhere, you kicked them over to get to him and he sat up looking at you and smiling as soon as he saw it was you.

"You came?!" He pulled you down next to him on the bed and then took in your appearance.

"You're wearing my shirt?" Shit. You forgot it was his after all of these years, but you couldn't sleep without it anymore, it was like a security blanket to you.

"I didn't know it was yours." You said to him but he didn't care, he wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you closer to him, you couldn't deny the butterflies that were fluttering around in your stomach from the sudden movement from him.

"You can't stay like this Jungkook, you have to pull yourself together." You said to him, looking at the Soju bottles again and then to him, he was half asleep on your shoulder.

"Promise me you'll get yourself together, you can't act like this over me." You whispered to him, running your hand through his hair and he smiled softly he was slowly starting to fall asleep in your arms and you sighed staring down at him. As soon as you thought it was safe to leave you got up from the bed, laying his head down on the pillow and covering him with a blanket but he gripped onto your wrist.

"Please, Y/n, don't go. Stay with me?" He looked up at you with puppy dog eyes, the ones he knew you couldn't say no to.

"Jungkook-"

"Please." You nodded, asking him to budge over and laying down in front of him, he wrapped his arm over your waist and laid the blanket over you both, you relaxed back against him.

"You're not allowed to leave me again." He whispered to you kissing the back of your neck in a comforting way and smiling as you shivered.

"We'll talk about it more in the morning Kookie...But things have to change. I'm not going to have you acting like that again...I can have friends." He nodded in agreement and slowly began to fall asleep again, feeling relaxed since you were back in his arms.

The One with their Baby Ducklings

pairing: namjin x maknae line (ft. uncles sope)

summary: after the disaster, nobi realizes that they are all namjin’s baby ducklings that have been following them since the very beginning

Yelling.

That was the first thing jungkook heard when he woke up. judging by the sound of the voice, it must’ve been jin and he was angry. this time, he was very pissed off and jungkook wanted to stay inside his room to avoid the wrath of jin, even though he doesn’t even know what caused it. the words sounded muffled and he was confused with what happened but something inside told him it was something he wouldn’t want to hear.

“SERIOUSLY! YOU SHOULDN’T DO SOMETHING YOU DON’T KNOW WITHOUT SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE THE SITUATION IF TURNED FOR THE WORST!”

“YOU COULD’VE GOTTEN HURT! THANK GOD THE CABINETS ARE NOT WOODEN OR OUR HOUSE WOULD’VE BURNED DOWN!”

“YOU SHOULD’VE CALLED ME TO TELL ME WHAT YOU WERE WANTING TO DO SO I COULD TELL YOU HOW TO DO IT PROPERLY AND SAFELY!”

“DO YOU KNOW HOW MY HEART STOPPED WHEN JIMIN CALLED ME ALL FRANTIC AND SCARED?!”

“I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU!”

a knock from his door made him jump and he burrowed under the covers to hide from his oldest hyung but peeked his head out when he heard the second oldest’s voice.

“Kook?” Yoongi’s voice came through from the other side of the door. “you awake?”

“ah hyung, i think he’s still sleeping.” That was the voice he recognized to be hobi’s.

“are you serious? after all that, he’s still sleeping.”

jungkook stood up to go to the door and he slowly opened it to peek out and see the faces of yoongi and hoseok.

“oh, jungkook!” hobi whisper-yelled and jungkook smiled. “can we come in? we’re not exactly comfortable being out there right now.”

the youngest made way for the older two to enter and they sat on nobi’s bed while jungkook laid on his.

“what happened?” jungkook asked.

hobi laughed while yoongi let out a small chuckle. “it appears while hyung and i were out, the other 3 caught the kitchen on fire.”

with the mention of ‘fire’, jungkook turned around and wildly looked at them. “fire? is nobi okay?”

“seriously, we tell him the kitchen bursted into flames and the first thing he cares about is nobi.” yoongi’s quiet complains made jungkook quietly growl causing yoongi to wave him off quietly. “yes, she’s okay. but right now, i think she most prefers the flames over her yelling mother out there.”

“apparently, to what we heard jimin say, they wanted to make chicken but they left the oil for too long and caused a grease fire,” hoseok explained.

“ah, seriously. asami sakura,” jungkook groaned and slapped his hand against his forehead.

“you know, when we passed by, nobi was close to crying.” yoongi hit the back of hoseok’s head for the careless confession.

“yah, don’t say that to him,” he quietly scolded causing the younger to mumble an apology. they nervously looked at jungkook, expecting a glare due to how territorial he was to the girl.

“what he meant to say was that nobi’s feeling sorry and i think she was just shaken up.”

“i’m going out there,” jungkook stood up but the other two held him down.

“no. you’ll be roped into a situation you have no business in being in so just stay in here until everything is re-solved,” hoseok reasoned. it didn’t go well with the youngest.

“if the 3 of them almost burned the dorm to the ground, don’t you think it’s an issue we should re-solve by talking it out as a group?”

yoongi and hoseok looked at each other in defeat, knowing that there was nothing else they could say without jungkook arguing with them.

...

nobi sat on the beige couch, fingers fidgeting slightly and hair fanning the sides of her face as if it was an attempt to hide in shame. taehyung and jimin were both looking at the floor, head hanging in shame.

“what were you all thinking just cooking something like that out of the blue?” jin asked angrily, draped over the loveseat with his leg on top of his knee. his voice was hoarse from all the yelling and scolding. “you could’ve gotten badly hurt! burned!”

“it wasn’t their fault, hyung.” nobi looked up to meet his eyes. “i asked them and it’s all my fault. i couldn’t wait for you to come home and i really wanted to try something new.”

“what do you mean ‘something new’? you help me cook all the time!” jin said.

“i wanted to cook something for you and showcase what i’ve learned from you,” nobi mumbled. “i’m sorry, hyung.”

namjoon looked at jin and he nodded. “listen, you three. sure, we’re angry and we’re mad. but we were just worried because you didn’t know how to put it out and we don’t know what we would do if you got hurt. you’re more than our members and co-workers. you’re our family, you guys. do you understand?”

tears gathered in her eyes at her leader’s words as there was no one else she wanted to impress. he’s her idol and him telling her that was enough to get the waterfall to spill down her face.

“i understand that it was an accident and you were just trying to eat something. but, dear god, i will never forgive myself for leaving you here and being hurt because i wasn’t here,” jin sighed.

“your lives are our top priority and we will do anything to keep you from hurting yourselves anymore than you have.”

the appearance of the last 3 members from the hallway made everyone look at them and jungkook immediately stuck himself beside nobi on the space that taehyung made by scooting to the edge of the couch and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

“sorry i wasn’t awake to help,” he mumbled to which she just smiled softly.

“you would’ve probably made it worse.”

“i’ll just ask this: are you guys okay?” yoongi asked, the slightest tone of worry in his voice.

“yea,” the maknae line, minus jungkook, replied quietly.

“a fire. thank god for the fire extinguisher,” jin kept muttering.

“that must’ve been the feeling that we felt!” hoseok giggled at the unfamiliar dread in the pit of his stomach earlier. “yoongi-hyung and i had this weird sense of dread and we thought we were going crazy!”

“i think something was trying to tell us it was a fire since the song played in my speakers,” yoongi added.

“maybe fate was trying to tell us you were in trouble?” hoseok wondered. “sorry your uncles weren’t there to help, kids.”

“you’re not our uncles, hyung.” jimin’s comment made the self-proclaimed uncles look at him wildly causing him to stutter out, “more like,,, cousins?”

“either way, we apologize for not being there to help you.”

“shouldn’t you have called me first though, asami sakura?” yoongi pointed, fake hurt plastered on his face.

namjoon and jin shared a look that meant they were done with this whole thing. but they appreciated the others’ attempt of lightening up the mood.

“you should be punished for this whole thing,” jin said causing the three to deflate. “but since it was an accident and you didn’t meant to, i won’t make it very harsh. just cleaning up this mess and dish duty for 3 months, one for each of you. and you 3 aren’t allowed to be at home without one of us to stay behind.”

surprise was evident on their faces as they were expecting something harsh like cleaning the whole dorm but hey, they’ll take just dish duty. they were grateful for jin’s understanding as the situation wasn’t in their control and they couldn’t help the fire from happening.

“namjoon, you stay here while i go take a bath. good lord, i need a nice bath to calm myself,” jin stood up and walked to the hallway. “my heart is still beating.”

“i woke up to him. but at least he got it out of his system by screaming and yelling,” jungkook explained.

nobi was still quiet but she moved closer to his side and he tightened his hold around her.

“i think i’m spiderman,” hoseok massaged his chest, on top of where his heart was supposed to be. “like i got his instictual feeling!”

“no, you are anpanman.”

jimin’s quiet retort made the others chuckle and namjoon observed his little family.

the mood has turned from dark to light in a matter of minutes and jin returned with his signature pink hoodie and grey sweats while running his hands through his hair.

“since you’re hungry and you weren’t able to eat, we’ll just order chicken. no cooking from now on! you’re not allowed to be near the stove! 6 feet apart between you and the stove!” jin warned and the three nodded.

“accidents happen, you guys. but we just have to continue moving forward while making changes to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” namjoon smiled which soothed the remaining fear in her stomach.

jimin, taehyung, and nobi thought the same thing as they looked at their mother and father simultaneously.

something flashed in their eyes and it was the same exact memory from when they were still trainees and suffered at the mere thought of debut.

when the 6 of them, including yoongi, were crying and having a mental breakdown, namjoon and jin were the only ones who kept their cool and offered their hands to pull them out of that hole. when their doubts and worries overtook their minds and caused the biggest arguments in their group, namjoon and jin were the ones who stayed up many nights, figuring out ways for broadcasts to give them a chance to debut and keeping the group together.

despite their ages, they were still just children and people who were naive that got angry at the simple thought and acknowledgement of disappointment. but namjoon and jin were the ones who forced themselves to mature so they could help the others and make their dreams come true.

in a way, they dragged the others from their slump and dark thoughts and made them trail behind jin with his words of encouragement while namjoon stayed behind to make sure no one strayed away and succumbed to the temptation of sadness and giving up.

they were namjoon and jin’s little ducklings, following behind but refusing to leave the line even though they were more than capable of being their own ducks and spreading their wings to fly.

they were a family and they will continue to stay on that line until they die.

they will always be the baby ducklings since their trainee days.

a/n: maybe this wasn’t what you guys wanted :(. but i personally thought this was cute and if i did that, i think my parents would actually kill me

too young || one

summary: you meet jungkook, a single parent who keeps forgetting to pick up his daughter from school

word count: 2,387

genre: parent!au, single dad!jungkook fluff/slow burn

It was an hour after school ended when the most precious and cutest little girl knocked on your office door. She was tiny, shorter than your office desk. Her light brown hair was styled into low pigtail braids, and there was a big red flower in her hair that matched the red dress she had on. Her navy blue light up shoes were just as bright as her shining hazel eyes. “Hi, my name is Jules. Can you call Jungkook to pick me up?”

The smile on your face disappeared when she tells has been waiting outside for an hour to go home. You gave her some water and let her play with a Rubik's cube as you try to contact her parent, Jungkook. He wasn’t picking up, so you decide to look at her emergency contacts. You were surprised to see six other people listed on her file as family friends and were even more amazed that none of them were girls. It looked like she only had male figures in her life. You had never seen a support system as large as well.

When you dialed Jin, he picked up on the first ring. As soon as you mentioned Jules not being picked up from school, he quickly mumbled that he’ll be on his way as fast as he could and thanked you. He hung up, and you looked at Jules who put the toy down on your desk. “Jin will be coming.”

“Uncle Jin?” You nodded with a small smile on your face, and she smiled back. “He bought me these shoes for Christmas last year! They light up when I move.”

After you called Jin, you and Jules went outside to sit on the school bench in front of the curb. She was quietly humming to herself and could not sit still. She constantly swung her feet and moved her head side to side. "Sweetie, do you know where your dad is?”

“Jungkook? He works a lot, but he loves me a lot too.”

“Does this happen a lot?”

“Does what happen a lot?” She scrunched her nose in confusion.

“Has he ever left you here before?”

Before she could answer, a black SUV pulled up. The car came to a stop, and a tall male with dark brown hair and broad shoulders came out of the driver seat. “Uncle Jin!”

Jules ran towards Jin where he bent down quickly to give her a big hug. He asked her about her day and complimented her shoes while fixing some strands of her hair. “Do they still light up?”

He stood up to stomp both his feet, acting as if his brown leather shoes were the ones that could light up. Jules laughed and jumped to show Jin her shoes, and to you, that was like hearing and seeing the most pure thing ever.

“Hi, I am so sorry! I hope I didn’t make you stay here for her,” he apologized to you as he held Jules’s hand and opened the backdoor to put Jules in the car seat. “If I had known Jungkook couldn’t pick her up, I would have done it as soon school was over.”

“I couldn’t get a hold of him, so I apologized if I bothered you.” He buckled her seat belt and closed the door. “Is there something I have to worry about? Like will this happen again? I would just hate for her to wait again all alone.”

“I will make sure that Jungkook picks her up the next time.” Again, he apologized. “I think he’s just stuck at traffic or work. He’s still new to all of this.”

You raised your eyebrows. “New at what? Being a parent? For being responsible for his daughter? To remember she needs to go home after school?”

Jin opened his mouth to say something, but instead, he released a tired sigh. “If it happens again, please do call me or Jimin. He should also be in the emergency contacts. The rest of the contacts live out of town.”

“Thank you, but I really hope we do not have to call three different people to make sure Jules is able to go home.”

___

The next week, Jules knocked on your door again but this time, her hair was styled into two dutch braids. Her baby pink hair ties matched her pink skirt while her blue shirt matched with her shoes. She sat down and pulled the game, connect four out of her light purple backpack that had small white unicorns all over it. “I’ll be red.”

Her file was still on your desk, so you opened it and dialed Jungkook’s number on your cellphone. You put your phone up to your ear, and as it rang, you got up and placed the yellow piece in the center. Jules stared at the one piece for a while before placing her red piece on top of yours.

When it went straight to voicemail, you immediately called Jin’s number and then placed another yellow piece to the left. It automatically went straight to voicemail as well, and you looked down at Jimin’s number.

“Is Uncle Jin coming?” She asked as she put a red piece on top of yours again. “He always beats me at this game.”

“I think Jimin is picking you up today,” you said with the slight annoyance in your tone of voice. “Does he play this game as well?”

“Not good.” She smiled. “I beat Jimin at this game a lot.”

“I love that energy. Remember to keep that,” you said right before Jimin picked up. You placed a yellow piece to the right this time, making three in a row; it doesn’t matter where the next game piece goes because you won either way. “Hello? I am calling about Jules. She hasn’t gotten picked up from school yet, and I was wondering if you would be able to since I cannot contact Jungkook or Jin at this time.”

Just like Jin, Jimin said he’ll be here as quickly as he could, thanked you and hung up.

“How old are you?”

Jules put the red piece on the left side before realizing she lost. She took out all the pieces and prepared to set up for another game. “Six! How old are you?”

“Not six.” You smiled and let her go first. She copied your strategy and placed her red piece in the middle. You follow her lead and let her win to see the excitement on her face. “Nice job.”

“I like to win.”

“I do too.”

After two games, you held Jules’s hand and walked her to towards the blond man that was walking towards the building. He was shorter than Jin, but still tall compared to you. “Jules!”

“Uncle Jimin!” It was literally déjà vu. The same thing happened last week except with a different person. She ran towards him, and the man bent down to give her a hug. He rubbed her back, and he pulled back to look at her face. “Do you want to play connect four later?”

“Sure thing! I made your favorite soup today too, so you can eat that later.” She clapped and jumped up and down excitedly, showing off her light up shoes. “Hey! Those aren’t the shoes I bought you!”

“Yeah because Uncle Jin gave me shoes that light up! See!” She kept jumping up and down. “Do you see?”

“Yes I do!” He put his hand on her shoulders to make her stop. “Are you dizzy? Are you okay?” She nodded. “Go to the car, kiddo. I’ll meet you there.”

“Bye teacher!” She shouted as she started running towards the blue SUV in the parking lot. “I’ll come back to school tomorrow!”

“Thanks for letting me know that she was here.” He had a soft voice, and you can tell that he felt bad that this had to happened. “It really means a lot.”

“That is my job as principal,” you remarked. “Teaching and taking care of all the students.”

“Right,” he agreed. “Look, before you make any assumptions, Jungkook does take care of Jules. I mean, she’s happy, is fed, goes to school and everything. It’s just that he’s struggling with his job right now that’s not letting him out to pick Jules up.”

“And they don’t let him contact any of her six emergency contacts to pick her up?” You crossed your arms. You were always a happy and soft-hearted person, and you hated making someone feel bad. “I know it’s not your fault, but the thing is school ends the same time like it always does. He should know that by now.”

“He really does try to find someone to take her home.”

“I suppose I trust your word.”

____

A few days later, Jules was back in your office again, but this time, she brought a deck of playing cards. Her hair was put into a single french braid, and she was wearing white dress with a blue denim jacket that matches her white converse. “Do you have any fives?”

“Go fish.” She picked a card from the deck and sat up straight to try to peek over your cards. “Are you cheating?”

“No!” She laughed and looked down at her cards. “Can you at least give me a hint of what you have?”

“Do you have any twos?” You used the same playful tone as she did, and she laughed while handing you a card. “What about fours?”

“Goldfish,” she replied. You thought that it was cute, that she always insisted to say goldfish instead of go fish. “Who’s coming today? Should I guess? Should I be scared?”

“Jin is coming.” You put the cards faced down on the table. “Are you close to Uncle Jin?”

“Well, I see him a lot because he picks me up, you know?” You nodded. “I also see Uncle Jimin and Uncle Hobi a lot because of my cousins, Hye and Lia. They’re six years old like me.”

“Do you have any more cousins?”

“Does this mean I win if you quit?” You laughed and nodded as she happily picked up the cards. She put a rubber band around the deck and put them in smallest pocket of her backpack. “I have Suzy and Min, but they’re babies. And Alex is too old.”

“Do you know what your dad does to not pick you up?” Your conversation was interrupted when you see Jin by your door, ready to knock. “You ready to go, Jules?”

“Yes!” She got out of her chair and waved goodbye to you as she went towards Jin.

He slightly covered her ears. “I can promise you that Jungkook isn’t a drug dealer or anything. He’s a good parent, and good parents do make mistakes here and there.”

“Another time, I will have to meet with him myself,” you warned him before he went out the door.

“I will make sure he gets that message.”

___

He did not get the message.

Although you liked spending time and playing games with Jules, you still had to call Jin and Jimin four more times to pick her up. Finally, you personally called Jungkook’s work place and asked the secretary to give him the message that he will have to meet you right before school ended.

A young man with a black fancy suit knocked on your office door. His dark chocolate hair was all fluffy and wavy; you couldn’t tell if he styled it like that or if it was naturally that messy. He had the most alluring brown eyes you had ever seen. “Hi.”

“You must be Jeon Jungkook. Please sit down.” You pointed to the chair right in front of your desk. “How are you? You seem tired.”

“I am,” he replied softly as he took a seat and put his hand out to shake yours. “But I don’t think we’re here to talk about how tired I am. We’re here to talk about Jules.”

“Yes, well, do you know what day it is?” You asked.

“Yes?” He blatantly said. “It’s the first day of October.”

“That means last month I had to call you and your family more than six times to pick up Jules just so she can go home.” He released a disappointed sigh. “That number should be zero, not ten. She should have transportation ready for her whether it is you who is picking her up or family friends.”

“I know,” he said formally and looked down at his hands in his lap. “I will do better this time and make sure it does not happen again. I’m sorry to inconvenience you.”

“Do you understand the responsibility of making sure she is safe and picked up from school? Because from your track record right now, it doesn’t seem like it.”

“Do you work the same hours everyday?” He asked. “Because I actually don’t. I work at a company thirty minutes away from here. Sometimes I work from three in the afternoon to seven in the evening, and other days, I work eighteen hours,” he explained. Just by the sound of his voice, you could tell he was overworked, tired and hurt. “There were days I didn’t even see Jules. I stepped down from my position two months ago, and yesterday was my last day.”

“I didn’t know that.” You struggled to speak. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be. You didn’t know,” he replied with a small smile on his face, but you could tell he forced it. “Knowing that would not work with Jules’s schedule, I gave up what I loved because parents have to sacrifice for their kids. I’ll be working more flexible hours and from now on, you don’t have to worry if she gets home, because she will be getting picked up by me.”

You gave him a small smile and nodded. “I’m glad to hear that.”

“I appreciate you for spending time with her instead of turning her away. She’s real thankful for it, for everything.” You chuckled at his comment. “Is there anything else that you wanted to talk about?”

“That is all, thank you.” You thought that was the last time you would see him, but the next thing you knew, you saw Jules in your office the next day, waiting to go home.

She's my destiny (2/2)

Countdown to Christmas pairing Writer Jimin and female baker.

Feat. OT7 and NamJin as the loving fathers of a little boy.

Ok guys, here it is.

First of all, I want to say an immense, a huge, a big thank you to my lovely princess @aspaceformyself. She made that mood board for me. She named Kookie «baby Koo» and I stole that nick name from her (with her permission of course) and she is the one who asked me an AU with writer Jimin and baker reader. I transformed the idea into a countdown to Christmas.

Princess, you know how much I love you already. There is not a day that ended without me telling you how much I love you (and you too… you love me too :) )

Also, fuck Elsa :)

So, in this very long story, we’ll have all interactions between Jimin and his girl, from the very first meeting to the final explosion at Christmas. It’s a long one that takes time to set, action is slow. It’s perfect for this holiday season.

Read the warnings but know that it’s a very comforting reading. There is no big drama, no real angst. But… there are some sensitive topics in it.

W.C the total of the whole thing is more than 18 000 words… I worked like crazy on it. Won’t be perfect tho, English is not my first language.

Warning: just because there will be question of it: abortion, child mistreatment, child malnutrition, a smutty part (nothing graphic). If you are homophobe and against gay people to adopt, you can suck my toes don’t read. Basically, my main warning would be: this fic is so long…

Read the warnings but know that it’s a very comforting reading. There is no big drama, no real angst. But… there are some sensitive topics in it.

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_

December 12

Jimin was really sad this morning when he woke up. The first thing he had in mind was the note that was on your fridge when he took some milk for the cat yesterday. «I love you so much, I will always do no matter how badly we fight, we always find a way to each other’s heart. Oppa set the standards high, right?»

What does that even meant? Is Yoongi hyung right? Can it be a note left by a brother? Well, it could be.

He decided that today, he will continue to write but from home. He’s too sad to get out. The loud and fast winds are discouraging him from going outside too. But at the same time, he would like to know how the kitten is doing. And he would like to see your face and hear your voice.

No, no, no. Today he’ll stay home. He doesn’t want to seem pathetic or insistant in your eyes.

December 13

Today, you took the day off. You never do that but it was a well needed rest. Yesterday, you have worked twice hard, ovens working at full capacity. You decided that after christmas, you’ll hire a new baker. Your business has prospered and your brother was right, you need to rest more. Thinking of him, you decided to surprise him at school with a latté and his favorite cake.

Yesterday, you haven’t seen Jimin, it made you a little sad to be honest. You are used to his presence in the corner of the eatery now. Sometimes, when you extended your neck from your workstation in a certain angle and you would see him writing on his laptop. You have learned from Namjoon that he’s a well known writer. You’ll have to ask your brother more about him. Maybe it was the real intention behind your surprised visit after all.

You knocked on his door and entered as soon as he invited you in.

«Oppaaaaaaa» you exclaimed joyfully. «I baked you some choux a la crème. I decided not to work today. See, I listen to you sometimes” You haven’t look in his direction yet, struggling between the bags and travellers mugs in your hands.

«Oh! Dongseng. Wait little love, I am with students» When you lifted your gaze, you saw he was surrounded by 2 students about your age. You remember that man, you met before. You don’t remember where or when but you saw his face once, for sure.

«Oh! Sorry Hobi! I will wait outside» the 2 students both said at the same time «no, no, no! It’s alright. We’re almost done». Your brother smiled at you and gestured you to sit on the chair next to him. He grabbed the coffee mug, took a sip of his favorite and continued his passionate explanation. The second the students closed the door, he told you, holding on to your sleeve, over excited «You’ll never guess who is my student’s brother...»

«Well, not a chance since I don’t know who your student is...» he interrupted you, not able to contain his joy.

«His name is Jungkook. His brother is the writer Park Jimin. Can you believe it?»

You looked at him with a quizzical look on your face. «THE Park Jimin? The writer? Man. I knew I saw your student once. He was the one walking with Jimin”

«What? How? Where? You know Park Jimin?»

«Oh! My! God! Calm down Hoseok oppa. Calm down! You’re drooling» You teased.

«I need to know...»

«Well, Jimin is one of my regular customer. He comes in for hours to write...»

«NO WAY» He boomed.

«Yes way»

«Jungkook was telling me that Park Jimin is writing a book about a beautiful baker… No… that cannot be you, right?» he looked at you, skeptical. Then, his face lit up.

«Of course it’s you! Omg! My favorite writer is in love with my sister. I can't believe it. It’s the most wonderful day of my life!

«Calm down oppa. There is no way in hell I...» He didn’t listen to you at all.

«He seemed to be such a kind man too. You’ll be in good hands. You have my blessing»

You were unable to place a word. He was babbling about his love for Jimin. The way Jimin writes, his impact on modern literature. His kindness every time he could see him on national television. His modesty. You started to listen carefully when you heard the word ‘’United states’’ and “wife”.

«Wait oppa, repeat this please».

«You don’t know?»

«I know nothing about him but I think I have a little crush… so please tell me everything»

«Ooooooooh! I see!» He teased, chuckling. «Let me tell you everything I know then. I never verified the rumors but… apparently, 2 years ago he lived in the united states for a short period»

«This is true, he told me he lived there»

«You two are really close then… He is kind of private about his life. People knows nothing but rumors spread here and there”.

«I am not exactly someone who will put in in the papers you know. Continue...»

«So, he went in the united states and married someone over there. Apparently, she got pregnant and they didn’t…»

«NO NO NO! Stop please» you shouted, placing your hands on your ears. He froze.

«Hobi, I don’t like that. I don’t want to know this. Please don’t tell me. I feel like I am invading his privacy»

«You asked»

«And now I regret. I don’t want to know anything that he wouldn't tell me himself. We became some kind of… friends? I don’t know what we are exactly. We are not actually friends but he gave me a cat the other day and came to my apartment to help me out. We definitely are a little tiny bit of something. I feel bad now. But tell me, if he’s so private, how in hell do you know all of this?».

«He’s a private person but his ex-girlfriend is the contrary. She is all over the social medias and she gave her version of the story back then. She is a well known youtuber.”

«Ok. Tell me no more.».

«Fair enough. Tell me, cute baker. No BEAUTIFUL baker. I will be the maid of honor, right?»

«Oh! man! You are too much for me to handle today. I will let you work». You stood up and gave a big kiss on his cheek.

«Gotta go. I love you oppa»

«I love you too my tiny, little baby that is not so little anymore». Giggling, you let him work and went home. You missed your little kitten, he reminded you of Jimin and Jimin’s hands..

December 14

You were pulling walnut pies out of the oven, listening the Christmas carols that you could hear over the customers voices. Jimin entered the bakery with his little brother Jungkook.

«I’m telling you Baby Koo, those are the best baba au rhum that you will ever taste in your whole entire life».

Jungkook and your eyes met and a big smile appeared on his face. The kind of smile that meant ‘’I know something’’

«Oh! Hi! It’s you, right? It’s you that brought Professor Jung a coffee yesterday? I think he’s your brother and that you call him oppa right?»

What a strange question, you thought. Of course you will call him oppa.

«Yes, I saw you yesterday in his office. Tell me Jungkook, my brother is not too rough on you? I am certain that he’s really strict» you asked while you spread maple syrup on the pies in front of you.

«To be strict, he is strict. But he’s also my favorite professor so far. He’s really passionate and he teaches in a simple and easy way to understand. He’s clever too and knows literally everything. I mean, he’s a human encyclopedy». You laughed.

«I am glad then. He loves his job so much, I’m glad if he’s loved and respected by his students».

«This is something I can’t deny, he loves to teach. It shoes.» Changing subject, he asked «I think you know my brother. This is such a coincidence, right?» he said with a wide grin on his face as he looked at Jimin.

«Baby Koo… please stop...» You heard Jimin murmured, blushing.

«We know each other a little, yes»

Jungkook was looking at you and Jimin, one after another, his smile growing bigger.

«JIMIN SSI, KOOKIE SSI» you heard a little voice screamed. Saved by the bell you thought.

«Sangie» The brothers exclaimed at the same time.

«Hello Yoo Yoo» You told him. «How are you doing today?» Joon answered faster than his son.

«He’s over excited today. But hey, when is he not?» he stated, smiling at his son and caressing his back tenderly.

«We will take out today, Jin is sick. We’ll eat at home with him»

«I shall give him something special today, right? Unless he asked for something specific»

«No, as always. Give us your favorites of the day»

Smiling you told your employee what she should wrap for the cute family while Jimin and Jungkook were already paying for their consommation. As soon as they were ready to go in the eatery, the younger brother said «if you have time, come talk with us»

«I’ll see what I can do» you smiled.

The second they crossed the swinging doors and went out of your view, Jimin lifted his 2 fists to the sky as a sign of victory.

«He’s her brother! I can’t believe it. I still have a chance for happiness» he told his young brother «She’s my destiny Kook, she is»

«We’ll have to work on your flirting skills though… cause, you know. You’re barely talking to her».

«Oh! man! Let me live. I didn’t know what to say!»

«For example you could have ask how her kitten was doing. Or the name she gave him. Just saying… Snap, she’s coming over here».

You were walking between the tables looking for them. The second you spot them, you walked faster.

«Boys, you forgot your tray on the counter» you said laughing as you placed their coffee and plates in front of them. You also put a bag with a fresh bake bread that Tae just made and 2 glasses of iced water. «I brought a fresh cranberries and orange bread, my friend Tae’s specialty. Bring it home and eat it toasted with a lot of butter. It’s delicious».

«Thank you noona» Kookie said switching to informal language. Not that you care, you just noticed.

«My pleasure» As you were turning your back to leave, Jimin asked you with his melodious voice.

«Hey, how is the kitten doing by the way? I didn’t had the chance to ask» At the mention of your baby, your heart melted and you smiled brightly.

«Aaaaw, my babyyyyyy. He’s doing fine. He’s so cuddly, I love him. I can’t believe that someone abandoned their own child like that. I mean, he’s a family member now, isn’t he?»

«Yeah, you are officially 2 members in your own family now»

«Absolutely» you smiled «I have to go back. You can come and meet him again if you want Jimin. I’m curious to see his reaction if he meets his savior again».

«Yeah, maybe one day».

«Ok. Enjoy the snack boys».

Jungkook waited for you to be away before he told his hyung.

«Fuck it Jimin… You had an opportunity here, she opened the door for you and you closed it back on her face».

«I knoooooow I’m a lost case» Jimin whined.

«Man, I’m not proud of you on that one»

The brothers started to laughed.

December 15

You haven’t seen any of your regular clients today and it made you kind of sad. Normally, Jin, Joon and some other regular would have come by and chit chat with you. You loved that proximity you have with them. You loved to bake in front of them and get to have their immediate reactions or questions.

Recently, you surprised yourself hoping for Jimin to come. He was so charming with his cute and shy smile. With time, you noticed a few details here and there. Like the way he tilts his head when he thinks, the way he eats and drinks distractingly while he writes. There were times when you brought him a new hot beverage without him realizing your presence at his side or noticing that you were switching his mugs. You always made sure not to interrupt him, he was so precious when concentrated.

«Thinking about someone?» Tae asked while he placed his cheek on your shoulder from behind. You couldn’t resist the temptation to put flour on his nose.

«Stop teasing me with this. You never know who could hear».

«He’s so beautiful, right. Is it true that he’s writing a story about a beautiful baker?»

«Shhhhhhhh! Don’t say it. Gosh, I will kill my brother. He’s the worst».

«Nope! He was just very happy to have such a talented brother in law”.

«Yeah, Yeah! You are all overreacting!»

«For your information, he looks at you too, when you are not looking at him. You both are really good at playing hide and seek».

«Stop it Tae… please» you blushed.

At the end of your shift, you and Tae went to share grilled meat. You had a very good night with your friend even if he didn’t stop teasing you about a beautiful writer.

December 16

When you woke up this morning, you didn’t know that your live was going to take such a beautiful turn. It started normally. There was more and more customers in the pastry and they were loud. You even had to stop the music from playing, it was too noisy. By the end of the afternoon, Jin and Jimin entered the pastry together with Yoo Sang. It appeared that they have met on their way here. Jimin had his computer in a crossed bag leaned over his shoulder, black glasses and a beanie. He was so beautiful, you could cry.

They were the last clients and you were about to put the key in the door when you saw Joon running towards you while waving his hands up in the air. You opened the door to him and a cold and penetrating wind sneaked in and froze you on the spot.

«Y/n! I need Jin. Where is he?» You noticed the emergency in his voice.

«He’s eating inside. Come» You locked the door and followed him in the eatery. His loud voice could be heard in all the pastry, that’s a good thing you were alone with the boys. If something bad happened, at least he will feel safe and free to talk.

«Jin, baby! They called» Strangely, even though he said nothing more than that, Jin knew exactly what it was about.

«Really? FOR REAL?» Jin and Namjoon fell into each other’s arms, hugging and holding lovingly on each other. You looked at Jimin with a quizzical face and he shrugged.

«A boy or a girl? What age?» Jin asked his husband. Namjoon dimples appeared and a tear rolled on his cheek. They sat down close to Yoo and Joon started to explain.

«So, remember Sangie? Appa Jin and I wanted to adopt another baby»

Now you and Jimin caught what it was all about. You both let escape a whoop of joy at the same time.

«It’s finally happening. She is a 1 month old baby girl and her father forced her to fast because he put her mom’s death on her behalf. She apparently died during the labors. Social services discovered she was mistreated since she was born. Anyway, we have to go get her as soon as possible. The only problem is no child is welcome in this orphaned. Yoo, I am sorry my love but you will have to go sleep with Grandma for 3 nights»

«No, I want to come. Please Appa. I want to meet my little sister too”

“I am sorry Yoo, you can’t come with us”

“But you told me you would never abandon me like the other families did. You said you would ALWAYS be there» he started to cry and it broke everyone’s heart. You knew nothing about Yoo’s past before he was adopted.

«I know Yoo and I am really sorry baby. We are absolutely not abandoning you, you have to understand that we will be back. You are our son and we will always, ALWAYS be back for you. But I couldn’t say no to them. We have no choice honey. The plane is tonight at 11h00. We have to bring you right now at grandmas. We’ll be on time for Christmas and we’ll have a beautiful little girl with us».

«Nooooo»

Yoo Sang was not happy at all but you could say, he felt really sad. He was not throwing a spoiled kid tantrum. He was scared that his dads would abandoned him. He was crying, saying he don’t want to go to see his grandparents, that they didn’t love him anyway. That he wanted to meet his little sister too. He didn’t want to leave his house. You had an idea and you told them without thinking of all the implications. You were just incapable of seeing him so sad.

«Sangie. You know I love you, right?» He said his grandparents doesn’t love him. At least, you wanted him to feel loved if it meant anything to him.

«Yes» he pouted

«Would you like to stay with me? Maybe you can bake with me during the day, I could reduce my hours at the bakery and close earlier. Tae will be there too and at night we would go to your house and you could sleep in your bed. If they can, we could facetime them very often so you will see your little sister too.»

Jimin added «Hey, I am here too. I can take care of him during the day while you work and bring him after your shift. That way you will be able to bake without interruption. Oh! I have the best idea ever». He leaned over Yoo and murmured something into his ear. You could hear the words ‘’crib’’, ‘’baby clothes’’, ‘’shopping’’.

«YEAH! YEAH! I want that!» Yoo Sang shouted. «I want to stay with Y/n and Jimin, please appa. Please I will behave and I will listen to them».

«But, I don’t want to give you that responsibility» Joon said. «It’s a lot of work and he’s not always easy. He needs a lot of patience and he is very energetic. He’s still a little stressed from his abusive childhood and might keep you awake till late and...» You cut Namjoon off.

«Joonie, I need you to know that Yoo Sang would be totally safe and loved with me. I would take care of him the same way I would take care of my own baby. I love your son, I love every children actually and I would be glad to do that for your family. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have offered. Also, if Jimin is really willing to take the ‘’day shift’’ it would be amazing but either way, I will manage to take good care of him. I can even close for 3 days, there is a baby to save and if it’s my part to play then I will do it”.

«No need to close your shop y/n, I absolutely want to help too” jimin told you. Then looking at Jin and Namjoon “Go get your little girl. Yoo will be in good hands. He won’t have the same routine with us, for sure. But he will be under loving hands».

«Please appa. Please» Yoo begged. His fathers looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

«YES» He jumped, danced and screamed.

All of you walked to the family’s place. They prepared their own bag while you and Jimin prepared Yoo’s little one. It was decided during the walk that you will sleep in your apartment tonight finally.

«I’ll let you the keys of the house. You can sleep wherever you want». Jin said.

«Very good. Yoo! You will meet my little boy»

«Your cat?»

«Yes, my cat»

«What’s his name?» Jimin asked.

«Watch out! I was very inspired».

«Okay...» Jimin smiled while preparing Sangie’s toothbrush, he was really thoughtful.

«His name is ‘’little boy’’ and sometimes when I feel really, like REALLY extravagant, I call him ‘’little dude’’ or ‘little guy’’.

«Oh girl, you really know how to name a kitten» Jimin giggled.

«Y/n? Can Jimin sleep with us tonight?» Yoo Sang asked, pulling at your sleeve.

Your eyes met Jimins, both of your nervously smiling. He answered for you, lightening the atmosphere.

«Yoosangie, a gentleman never invites himself over like that, it would very rude. How about I bring you back to y/n place, we grab some take out on the way. I could see Little boy again, I’ll tell you how I am involved in is adoption. Then, I will come back home. Tomorrow morning, Y/n will call me when you are guys ready and I will come and get you for the day. Let’s go ice skating tomorrow shall we?»

Yoo was really happy. He run towards the door, ready to go. He completely forgot about his fathers.

«Hey little monster, come kiss your dad before you go» Jin mentioned, fist on his hips, pretending to be mad but a loving smile on his face.

«Yes, I forgot» Yoo said not even sorry. He kissed and hugged them very tightly and ran back towards you and Jimin again. He grabbed you both by the hand and said «Come on, we have plenty of things to do» he was serious all of sudden.

That night as you leaned over your bed to look at Yoo in his tiny bed on the floor, you thought of how beautiful that little man is and how lucky he is now that he has 2 wonderful fathers. Jimin would have been a perfect father too, you can tell by the way he is with Yoo. Always smiling, positive, patient and playful. He seems to care about his comfort and security as much as you do. You hope that what your brother tried to tell you wasn’t true.

December 17

You woke up abruptly, an over excited Yoo Sang pulling at your pajama sleeve.

«Wake up y/n ssi. It’s time to shine and rise. I bet you make the best pancakes ever»

You looked at the time on your phone. 4h45 am. Nooooo! How can it be even possible? It’s way too early, even for the baker you are. Seeing that he’s so happy to be awake, you didn’t dare ask him to go back to sleep.

He jumped on your bed, sat heavily on your laps, wrapped his little arms around your neck and snuggled his nose against your cheek. He was so precious, lovingly wrapped around you like that.

«Let’s call Jimin»

«Woah woah woah! It’s the middle of the night» you chuckled.

«He said we can call him anytime. He said it last night when we were eating sushi”.

Deep inside of you, you are really tempted to do as Yoo asked. But, you can’t do it to Jimin. Can you?

«He said it, remember?»

«Ok! Let’s call him. Might be funny»

He answered after the first ring tone.

«Hey guys, already awake?» you heard Jimin’s voice in the speaker of your cell.

«JIMIN! COME TO Y/N’S PLACE WE WILL EAT PANCAKES»

«That is a very nice invitation. Let me shower, I’m coming» He didn’t even hesitate. You never thought he would come for real. After all, it was still the middle of the night. When you think about it now, the first time you met, it was the middle of the night too. Is he a late owl or an early bird?

You ate pancakes with Jimin and Yoo Sang. Jin and Joon called a little later, saying they will soon meet their new baby. Yoo was excited to talk to his fathers and to tell him all the projects he has for the day. Jimin and Yoo leaved at 8:00, the boys had a very packed schedule for the day. They called you from time to time, telling you where they were and what they were doing. It was decided that tonight, as Yoo asked, there will be a sleepover in his house. Jimin asked you if you were ok with that and when you accepted he smiled at you foundly. He was at the pastry, the boys have decided to come and take a snack and some tea before lunch. Jimin has changed clothes during the day because apparently, it was exhausting to skate with such an energetic little man. He was wearing a loose plaid shirt on a skinny black jeans and a reverse cap on his head. He was the real definition of beauty and masculinity but also softness and kindness. Most of all, his smile was pure and genuine and that for you meant a lot. This man was absolutely perfect. As soon as the kid get up to go to the bathroom, you asked Jimin

«Now tell me, aren’t you tired?»

«Tired is not strong enough to express how I feel. I am drained” He giggled «But I feel alive! He’s an amazing kid. Exactly the kind of child I wish to have one day»

«You’re really good with him»

«And so are you. He told me for last night. That he peed on the sofa and that you were not even mad. He said his first mom hit him because he peed on the bed once»

«OH! NO! But he must have been so young. He’s with Jin and Joon for at least a year now. He was what? 1,2 years old? Poor baby»

«He said he don’t remember but he had to go to the hospital and that’s where he met his fathers. His leg was apparently broken».

«No… poor love. Who does that to a child. I can’t even believe this” You were emotional when you talked about child mistreatments. Who isn’t?

«He told me he was petrified to tell you when he peed on the couch. That he thought he would have to go to the hospital again and have new parents».

«Damn childhoods trauma. Poor love, I would never hurt a kid. Never»

«Now, he knows… careful, he’s coming back»

Yoo sat on the chair between you and Jimin ant at the same time you both asked him «you washed your hands»?

The evening with Yoo went really well. You watched a pixar movie snuggled up on the couch with the little one between you. You facetime with Joon and Jin, they were coming from the orphaned and were enchanted about their little girl. They showed you pictures they took on their phone and it was the cutest thing you ever seen in your life. Yoo wanted Jimin to read him his bedtime story, which he accepted with a radiantly blissful smile.

It took at least 2 hours for the kid to finally fall asleep which was already a better chrono than yesterday. Yoo was scared to sleep. He was petrified that while he sleeps, his family would disappear, tonight he transposed his family with you and Jimin. You used all your love and patience to tell him that only bad people does that. That his new family is nothing like that. That you and Jimin were going nowhere. He needed to be reassured again and again and again. When he finally passed out from exhaustion, you and Jimin slouched in the couch. As soon as you looked at each other, you started to laugh.

«This is crazy! Omg! Jin and Namjoon does that every day and they still want a newborn baby. They deserve a medal!»

«Indeed» you added.

«Seriously though, he is really anxious. Some people are heartless to impact a child like that”.

You turned your whole body to be on your side, your cheek against the back cushion of the couch. Jimin had closed his eyes, he was massaging his temples. He looked tired but beautiful nevertheless. «I’ll take a shower and will be back» you told him. «Perfect. I will prepare the beds while you’re there. You prefer the couch or the air mat?» He asked, turning his head to look at you in the eyes.

«I prefer the couch but I don’t really care».

«The lady will have what the lady asked for» he said.

You grabbed your bag and went to the bathroom.

Before you entered the shower, you made sure to brush your hair carefully and removed your makeup.Then you stepped into it, your toes curling as they touched the cold ceramic floor. You took a long and hot shower, you were exhausted from your day. You let the water cascade on your back, gently massaging your sore muscles. It was delightful and relaxing. When you felt satisfied, you finished your night routine and made sure to button up your pajama before you went out of the bathroom. Your hair were still damp but you didn’t want to make any noise so you didn’t use the hairdryer.

«I’m done, you can go if you want» you told Jimin as soon as you came out. You realised he already had his jogging and a shirt on, he took his shower in his house next door earlier. He didn’t respond and when you looked at him, he was asleep with his lips partly parted. He was lying on the mat next to the couch. Both beds were made with tons of freshly cleaned blankets, you could smell the fabric softener from where you were. You closed the lights, keeping only the night-light lit and came closer to Jimin. He seemed to be in a heavy sleep phase. You smiled when you realised he still had his glasses on his nose. You came closer to him, tiptoeing to make as little noise as possible. You leaned towards him and with the gentlest touch you can manage, you removed his glasses and placed them on low table next to the couch. Suddenly, he moved on his sleep and opened his eyes for half a second. He smiled brightly and closed his eyes again, a sleeping and angelic smile on his face. He reached his hand out and without even looking at you, he tried to grab your hand in the dark. You helped him and place your hand in his, overwhelmed by so much tenderness. He pulled on your hand and brushed his nose lightly against your palm, humming in content in his sleep. You stayed like that, admiring his adorable face for a moment. You took the chance to remove a lock of hair from his eyes with the back of your free hand, admiring his forehead, the perfection of his features for a little longer. The more you knew Park Jimin, the more you were in love with him. Almost as if he had felt your emotional state, he kissed your hand gently and whispered to you "go to sleep, love, tomorrow we have more work to do".

Was he asleep as you thought?

December 18

Your day at the pastry went really fast. You were so busy with work that it was already 5:00 p.m. when you looked up at the clock for the first time. You looked at your cell phone and noticed 4 unanswered calls from Jimin. Scrolling down the text messages, you were flooded with selfies of them and pictures they took during the day. Pictures of them ice skating. Pictures of a snow man. Pictures of you baking… WHAT? They came here and you haven’t notice them? Apparently yes cause they took pictures of them with you in the background, facing the other way around while you were pounding flour. Oh man, it was an hectic day. A picture melted your heart. It was them with a baby crib, both thumbs up proud of the good work. Under this picture there was a message «we’ll need your help to wash the tiny tiny baby girl blankets that Yoo chose. They are really ugly but I couldn’t say no to him. Please wash it, I am scared to do it wrong. it’s so delicate».

When you arrived at Jin and Namjoon place at 18h00, the boys had cooked you dinner. A good smell of kimchi stew was diffused in the air and they were finishing to set the table.

«Why do I have the feeling of coming home to my husband and kid?» You laughed. You shouldn’t have said this but it slipped your lips… Jimin shyly smiled and his cheeks went crimson red. Fortunately there was a little 3 years old boy that came to grab your hands and save you from the situation.

«Y/n! Come in my dads bedroom. We assembled a little crib for her and also we bought her clothes and you will have to wash the blankets because Jimin was scared they wouldn’t be pink anymore after he washed it and we also visited you but you didn’t even noticed us Tae either oh I met Tae’s girlfriend she is really nice and oh yes she told me that Tae sleeps at your place to take care of Little Boy and….»

You started to laugh before you lifted him up in the airs. He was so happy and excited tonight.

«Oh! Yoo! You have no idea how happy I am to see your beautiful smile tonight. I missed you. I missed you so much» you said before you took a big smell in his neck, tickling him.

«Are you gonna cry?» he asked, gaging your expression.

«I might cry from happiness» you started to laugh instead and held him against your heart. You kissed the top of his head and looked at everything he wanted to show you with him sitting on your hip. He was so proud of everything he did with Jimin today. It seemed that he had a wonderful time.

You thought that tonight, since he was so happy, it would be easier to put him to bed but you were wrong. After 2 hours of hugs, promises that you and Jimin will still be here in the morning and that his dads will be here tomorrow, he fell asleep like a rock.

After yours and Jimin’s shower, you both sat on the couch, exhausted from your days.

«I miss writing» is the first thing he told you.

«I am so sorry Jimin, I was suppose to take care of him and here you are, spending the day with him. I am sorry».

«Hey hey… no! It’s perfect. It gave me so many ideas for the rest of the novel. And I told you I was taking the day shift. It’s the busiest month for you. Everything is absolutely fine.»

«But I was suppose to take the night shift and...»

Jimin, who remembered his brother’s mockery about him not able to flirt with you, gathered his courage as he saw this moment as an opportunity to push things further. He took your hand in his, made sure to lock eyes with yours and said, very proud of himself.

«Hey, please stop y/n. I am glad I stayed mostly because I get to spend some time with you»

The corner of his eyes crinkled, he was looking at you with adoration all over his face.

«Aaw, that was really cute» is the most clever thing you thought to say at the moment. But you cannot let him talk like that and add nothing, can you? With a shy but pleased smile you said «I’m glad to spend time with you too» but you cannot bear his intense gaze any longer. Hiding your face in your hands you smiled at the situation. If he really was flirting with you, your childish attitude screwed it up. He took your hands away from your face and said, on a complete flirting mode, you can tell even though you are not a flirt expert

«Hey, don’t hide that smile from me. I love to be the reason of your happy face». He was about to kiss you, you swear. You felt it. Unfortunately, 3 light knocks on the door interrupted the moment. Jimin pressed his hand on your knee and said in a funny way "don't go anywhere, I haven't finished with you". Your heart made 3 complete turns in your chest and you nodded, a silly smile being all that you could offer him right now. You were beyond happy and whoever was on the other side of that door, you hope they will leave fast.

«Jimin… Jimin… You have to come home fast. You have a visitor» you heard a nervous voice that you didn’t recognised.

«What??? It’s 23h00! Who’s there?»

You stood up and went by the door to see who was talking. A delicate man, not much taller than Jimin but really thin stood there, concern all over his face. The second he saw you, he bowed politely.

«Hi Y/n, I am Jimin’s brother Yoongi. We briefly met once. I’m sorry to interrupt whatever you guys were doing» and looking at Jimin he added, smirking «You were right, she is really beautiful». Jimin froze on the spot and pushed his brother out. Yoongi chuckled but remained serious all of sudden when a feminine voice, a seductive voice is heard

«Jimiiin! Where are you my love?»

Holy shit!!!

December 19

You feel a small hand pulled on the pillow that you had over your head. It’s probably the morning but you didn’t want to open your eyes. You felt sick, your whole body was aching like if a truck ran over it. The pillow was finally removed and you felt your sore throat the second you tried to talk. Oh no! You caught some virus, just before christmas. What a wonderful timing.

«Do you think she’s dead» Yoo asked.

«Yaaa, of course she is not dead. She is emerging from dreamland but at her own slow pace». It’s Jimin’s voice. As soon as you remembered what happened last night, you opened your eyes to see if he was really here. Indeed, he was with dark circles under his eyes. He seemed to be in bad shape just like you are. Or maybe he didn’t sleep for some other nocturn activities. Why is life so cruel to you, dangling happiness in front of your eyes and tearing it away the second or you succumb to it.

«You ok Jimin?» you didn’t want to say in front of Yoo Sang that he left last night.

«Yes, everything is absolutely fine but I cannot say the same for you… You look so sick» His face shown concern. You started to cough and Jimin’s hands covered your forehead immediately.

«You are burning. Sit down love, I will bring you some meds» He helped you sit as soon as he noticed your dizziness, offering you his arms in support. You would have enjoy those muscles under your touch if you wouldn’t have been so sick. Yoo started to cry and he followed Jimin in the bathroom.

«Is she going to die? I don’t want her to die»

«Hey, Yoo! Stop it. Of course she won’t die. She only has a little fever. Nothing to die for. Let her a few days and she will be on her feet again». Jimin handed you the medication and said:

«I might have a replacement solution for you today. You remember Yoongi?»

«Your brother?»

«Yes. His girlfriend is a baker. She is younger than us tho, she just graduated from the school 2 or 3 months ago. She’s looking for a place to work. Maybe she can give you a hand».

«She don’t know my recipes, she won’t work fast enough. She...»

«Love, I don’t want to be rude but I don’t think you’ll be effective today. Also Taehyung will be there to guide her. For what I know, she is a good baker and she learns fast. She seemed passionate about it.».

«Ok then, you’re right, I won’t be able to work»

You texted Tae and gave him the details while Jimin went to his apartment and prevent his sister in law that she will work at your pastry today. Immediately, she followed Jimin and came to introduce herself. It was love at first sight for you. You have no idea how that girl works but you loved her immediately.

«Thanks for giving me a chance. I will bake with care. I hope I won’t disappoint you».

She left with a big smile on her face while you cought to the point you almost choke. Damn it!

«Ok, I will call a cab, you have to go to your place and rest. It will be better for you to have a quiet environment. Also, the baby arrives today, she can’t be near your germs» he teased.

«You’re right. I am so so so sorry Jimin. Please forgive me» you almost cried and he came closer to you, hesitating only for a second before wrapping his arms around you.

«Sorry for what?» he asked softly, rubbing your back.

«I cannot help you properly. Sorry about that». You felt so good in his arms. It was the first time he was that close. Why is he even doing it, after being with his «girlfriend» last night.

He took a step back and locked your hands in his.

«You have to stop with that guilt. Really. I am sad that you are sick but not mad at all about helping my neighbors. Me and Yoo gets along pretty well actually. It’s tiring but it’s going well».

He helped you add some layers over your shoulders. You hugged Yoo with a mask on, making sure you wouldn't contaminate him and you went home. Alone and scared that whatever you had with Jimin was now over because of that feminine voice you heard.

December 20

Jimin, Tae and Hoseok texted you at least 20 times each yesterday. They kept track of the evolution of your virus.

If Jimin really wanted to have something with you, he would have explained himself, right? He would have say a word about why he left last night to meet a woman that called him «my love». Well, he didn’t. Maybe he was just a gigolo after all. No… he’s not like that at all.

You were still really sick, your fever didn't want to drop and you were coughing non stop. Every muscle in your body was sore, your head was threatening to explode and all you could do between coughing was sleep or taking care of your kitten.

Yesterday, Jin and Joon arrived with their little girl that they have named Hyeon. They took pictures of her in Yoo Sang’s arms and send it to you. Your favorite was the picture of Jimin with Hyeon in his arms. It was really cute cause Yoo was on the picture too, concern all over his face. He didn’t want Jimin to hold his little sister and it shown. Probably because he didn’t want Jimin to love her more than him, he didn’t want to lose his place in his heart. You will have to ask Jimin if you are right about it.

At the end of the day, you took a long shower, dressed warmly and put a mask on. You went downstairs in the pastry. You wanted to see how things were doing although Tae was texting you non stop.

Your regular customers were glad to see you, not being used to your absence. You went on the kitchen part but didn’t touch anything. Chae Li was working effectively. She had made your recipes and the displayers were full of cakes, viennoiseries and sweets.

«People are crazy this year. As soon as something is on the displayers, it disappears. You have no idea how much we worked» Tae said after a warm hug from behind, his hands not touching you. He didn’t want to catch your bad virus. That’s when you saw him, coming from the eatery with his empty mug and plate. Jimin! The beautiful man that almost kissed you was wearing a blue jeans, leather jacket, white button shirt and a big scarf around his neck. He was mesmerising. You were about to go and talk to him when you saw her, holding onto his arm. A beautiful woman, dressed in clothes that you will never have the money to wear even if you put all your money into it. She was a natural beauty, the actual definition of class and elegance.

When he saw you, Jimin suddenly seemed very uncomfortable. He didn't seem to want you to come near them. This is what you can read from his non verbal attitude. Why did he invited her in your pastry then?

The woman also noticed Jimin’s face and when she looked at you, her face illuminated like she knew something you didn’t. Like she was almost happy.

«Is she the owner of the place?» She asked him.

«Yes, now let’s go!» After a little bow to you and a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, he dragged her out.

«You saw this too, Tae?»

«I’m sorry cherry pie».

Tears running down your eyes, wetting the mask you wore, you go back to your apartment and cried all the tears you had for that romance that didn’t really had a chance to start.

December 21

«You sure Chae? She was crying? But why?»

«Jimin, you are really stupid or what?» she asked him, smiling tenderly.

It was the end of the day. You had came back to work today, not feeling good at all but determined to work nonetheless. You managed to work only 3 hours, still recovering but it was enough to say that this girl was a treasure. You hired her full time right away. Tonight, she was celebrating her new job with her boyfriend, her 2 brothers in law and their parents.

«He is stupid» Yoongi said.

«When it comes to love affair, I have to admit, he’s not really clever» Jungkook added.

«Where is my baby Koo? My little brother that is always by my side?»

Everybody were mocking Jimin.

«But Chae, tell me. Why were she crying?»

«Ok, ok! Let me tell you Jimin but please, be careful not to betray me, she is my new boss. The ambiance in this pastry shop is so joyful and cozy. I don’t want her to fired me. I love her and Tae. They are amazing».

«Promise»

«I am telling you just because I see there is a misunderstanding between you. But clearly, both of you are into the other and...»

«Chae… spit it» Jimin cuts her justifications.

«Ok, ok! So, there was a french christmas song playing. French pastry shop, french christmas song, see the link here?» She asked Jimin, teasing him by taking her sweet time. «Chae...» he said threateningly before she burst out of laughter.

«Tae and her were speaking in some type of code language and when y/n realized that I understood what they were talking about secretly, she threatened me with a whip so you better not say that I told you anything. I really love her and I don’t want to talk on her back I just want the situat...»

«Chae...» the 3 brothers cut her endless explanations.

«She was sad. She said you almost kissed»

«JUST ALMOST?» Yoongi cuts his girlfriend «you had 2 entire nights with her and you didn’t shared any fluids?»

«Shut up Yoongi, let her talk»

«So apparently the moment was interrupted by my man here» she pointed Yoongi «and a woman languidly calling you».

«ok, and...»

«And then you left. The day after, as if nothing ever happened between you and y/n, you brought that woman to eat something and she was beautiful and you were uncomfortable because you didn’t want to introduce her to y/n»

«But I never brought Jamie there… I brought my agent! She wanted to see what my novel was about»

«y/n didn’t know that. She thought she was the girl who called you ‘’my love’’ with a sensual voice the other night. That’s why she is sad. She thought that she and you had a little something growing and then BAM» she clapped in her hands dramatically, startling people around the table «it was taken away from her by that beauty queen in heels».

«But Jamie and I, it’ over. She’s casually visiting South Korea but I made sure she understood I wouldn’t be her personal guide».

«y/n doesn't know it»

«Oh my! Oh! my!» Jimin murmured «I am not good with woman. I must be cursed or something».

«Jimin, you only need to make things better. Explain to her… she’s waiting for it».

«Ok, I’m going» he said, standing up.

«Wait until tomorrow. She is with Taehyung, his girlfriend and Hoseok tonight. She was sick to death but they went for Soju shots I think. I was invited too but I had to come here».

«Text her, at least» Koo suggested.

«I did. She didn’t answer any of my messages since she saw me with my editor».

«You lost your only chance to get married» Yoongi lovingly teased his little brother.

«Shut up Hyung» the younger boys said at the same time.

December 22

You were eating dinner with Hoseok, Little Boy on your lap when someone rang the doorbell. You discovered a beautiful Jimin, a woolen hat sunk on his head.

«Jimin? What are you doing here?» You asked, intrigued.

«There are things I need to tell you» he said before you both jolt.

«Jimin as in PARK JIMIN?» Hoseok shouted, running towards you as Jimin was taking his hat off. You turned towards your brother and made ‘’the face’’ that meant it all.

«But this is Park Jimin… oh! my! god!» he went in front of Jimin «I am a big fan of your writing style. I even teach your brother Jungkook and I think you are the most talented writer in Asia right now. You are revolutionizing literature and well your brother is talented too I didn’t meant»

«Oppa… Oppa… OPPA» you finally cut him «I don’t want to be rude but Jimin came here because he wanted to talk to me?»

«Sorry. I am glad to meet you Jimin ssi» he leaved without taking the keys to his car. You prepared it for when he would realise it. When he knock on the door, you just handed it without a words but he gave you a big kiss on the cheek. «Call me if you need anything». You closed the door and turned towards your guest. He already had Little Boy in his arms. You needed a moment to collect your thoughts before the big talk so you said «Come in the kitchen, I just need to put the food in the fridge». You did but you didn’t stop there. You were removing the dishes from the table and putting it in the dishwasher when he interrupted you, grabbing your hand and dragging you into the living room.

«Y/n, there is no need to be nervous. I need to talk to you now. Ok?» You nodded.

«Hey, I want to hear your sweet voice, talk to me. Why are you nervous?» he smiled at you.

«How are Yoo and Hyeon?» you asked timidly, you were not ready for whatever he had to say.

«Really? That’s what you have to say?» He laughed.

«Y/n, there is a misunderstanding between us. We need to talk».

«I have nothing to say Jimin. But go ahead, talk to me. I am telling you, I have a good flair for bullshit»

«Oooh! I thought you were an unarmed sweet girl. I’m glad to see that you know how to stand for yourself. But then, it means you won’t need me to take your defense» He said, pretending to be sad. You frown and patiently waited for him to speak again.

«Let’s start with the easier part. The woman I was with in your shop, remember? Tall, in a jumpsuit? Heels?» When you nodded, he continued «she’s my editor. We work together for at least 5 years now.»

«Oooooh...»

«You might have felt a tension because I didn’t want her to spit the tea. She is unstoppable when she started and I didn’t want her to talk in front of you»

«Talk about what?»

«My new novel. One of my character is based on you. The main character actually...»

Your eyes widen under the surprise. Your brother was right after all, there will be a pretty baker in his next book.

«I knew she wanted to tell you about it and I wanted to do it myself. She is the best editor in korea but she can’t keep her mouth shut».

You smiled at him, relieved.

«Now Jamie» he sight, the subject seemed more difficult to approach for him. «How many time do I have?» he asked you looking pitiful.

«You have all night Jimin. I ain’t going nowhere»

«Good… Jamie is my ex-fiancé. We were not together for very long but it was interse. Intense relation in all aspects»

«Please, spare me the sexual details»

He laughed.

«I was not talking about sex, I’m a gentleman for god sake» He took a deep breath in and continued.

«It was intense, I don’t know how to explain it... She was intense. Her personality and mine are totally different. She was flirty, possessive, she wanted the attention on her all the time. You know what I mean?» You nodded, looking at him in the eyes. «She was a beautiful woman and at the moment, I thought I was the luckiest man in the world to have her»

You knew he was about to tell you something that is still hurtful for him, it shows in his expression. You were sit cross legged, face to face on the couch. You took his hands in yours and caressed his palm with your thumbs, by reflex. With that simple gesture, he gained some courage and continued.

«I will tell you the truth here. I won’t lie»

«I certainly hope so»

«I was captivated by her beauty. I was not able to discern her true personality. My brothers, who met her only twice because we lived in the states, immediately warned me against her. They saw clearly in her. Not me. To be honest, she was holding me by the you know what ”

You pointed his crotch with your chin and added, to lighten the atmosphere «Isn’t every man's weakness?»

«Well, I don’t know for the others… but it was mine. Anyway. We were together for 8 months I think when it happened» You squeezed his hands in yours, you felt he needed strength.

«One day she came home with a stomach ache and she had trouble walking. I prepared a hot bath for her, applied warm cushions on her tummy. It was not taking the pain away. I told her that we should go to the hospital, that pain was not normal. That’s when she spit it… she just had an abortion».

«She was pregnant?» you asked in disbelief.

«Yes. And I didn’t even knew it»

«THE BITCH! She had an abortion on your back?» you were shocked.

«she announced this to me as if she just had a plantar wart removed. I swear to god, in the same tone she would have taken»

«She is a monster! It was your baby too. She should have warn you, minimally».

«I left her alone with her stomach pain. I went away from her bullshit. I left everything behind, all my belongings and came home the same day. I cried all the tears that I had inside of me for that baby that I almost had but never knew when it existed, isn’t crazy? I was devastated. I was sad because this baby whom I never knew but who was mine will never have felt loved in its short existence. This woman is not capable of true love, of empathy. She got rid of a baby the same way she would get rid of a mosquito. And that baby, my poor baby, was never told it was not his fault. That he was loved nevertheless».

«Oh my god Jimin… it was not your fault»

«I know it was not my fault. And I also know that none of us were ready to have a kid. At some point I’m even lucky that I never had to have a child with her. I am not against abortion at all, I want you to understand that. I am not making any sense, sorry y/n»

«Oh Jimin, you make so much more sense than you think. I understand completely. You would have liked to know, you would have liked to be consulted. In fact, you should have been. You would have liked it to be a more significant act. She never told you she was pregnant and got an abortion. She should have warn you... What kind of heartless woman does that?»

Becoming emotional but lighter because you understood him and didn’t judge him, he leaned towards you and leaned his head on your shoulder. Your arms wrapped around him and you hugged him tightly.

«I am sorry for you Jimin. Really»

«I know, I feel you» he said «You can’t lie and you are connected to your emotions. You’re like me. Raw and sensitive»

«It seems that you know me well...» you smiled, caressing his back. You felt his body relaxed under your touch and you didn’t want to let go of him. Despite being comfortable, he stepped back and looked you straight in the eye.

«Jamie… it’s her that you heard the other night. I didn’t split with her in person, I texted her. I figured she wouldn’t mind the lack of manners». He smiled but his face remained sad and tense. «She came to my place, I never got rid of my apartment, even when I lived overseas. She knew the address and came to try to win me back»

«Did it succeed?» you teased «she used a very seductive voice from what I heard. It might have awaken certain parts of your anatomy» you made fun of him, pointing at his crotch again.

«Yaaaaa! Of course it didn't. My head is filled someone else. Someone that is even more beautiful».

«Oh! Really?» you timidly asked.

«Hum hum! Her eyes are an open book, I can read her soul in her eyes. And most of all, her heart is pure and she is the kindest person I met. She is really the most beautiful person I ever met, for real this time. Her voice is angelic and her smile illuminates everything around when she is in a room with you. The first time i saw her, her tongue was sticking out like a young child, she was trying to catch snowflakes instead of shoveling her balcony. I knew she was the one»

«She is that beautiful, hum?»

«She is… Let me tell you more about her. She has the most beautiful neckline, all in delicatesse… Her face is perfectly shaped and her body is made out of god’s material. She is perfect. Oh! girl… Her lips… They are full and pinky red. She...»

«She must taste delicious, don’t you think»? You blinked, teasing him.

«Oh, she probably does. And the more I get to know her, the more I discover her hidden side. She is not that shy, she’s even a little sassy»

You laughed loudly.

«Jimin...»

«Wait Y/n. There is something I want to do before I go. I wanted to do it for so long»

«You go already?»

«I have to… I have to pick some family members at the airport. I might even be late already» He started to laugh, not a tiny bit feeling guilty about them waiting for him.

«Then what the hell are you doing here?»

«It’s called priorities. I had to make things better with you. Chae told me that you were sad and»

You jumped down from the couch before you pointed at him with your index.

«Noooo she didn’t… I will… I will...»

He went in front of you, ran his hand behind your neck and kissed you without further ado. It was a soft kiss at the beginning, gentle and tender. As the kiss deepened, his tongue became more greedy. It was unthinkable that your mouths would separate soon. You never wanted to get away from him again, you had him under your skin as they sing in love songs. Even though you were leaned against him, you still felt too far from him. His mouth moves away from yours but he leaned his forehead against yours.

«I don't think I could have stopped kissing you anytime soon Jimin. You have a lot of self-control».

He smiled and kissed your forehead, his lips brushing against your skin tenderly.

«I had a thought for my family member that I have to pick up at the airport. She won't be touched by my love exploits and let me tell you, I'm no better than dead if I don't arrive quickly».

«Go then. I don’t want you to die the day I finally kissed you».

«Can we go on a proper date tomorrow»

«I wished I could, believe me. But tomorrow it’s the 23. After work, my parents come and get me for a diner at my aunt. Each year it’s the same, it’s our family Christmas party. I’m sorry».

«It’s alright. It’s christmas season after all. We’ll talk about it tomorrow, shall we?»

«Yes» you timidly answered. You don’t know why you were so timid all of sudden.

«May I kiss you again before I go?»

«You didn't ask earlier» you mocked him.

«I didn’t had to ask, you were begging me with your eyes» he teased. You kicked his shoulder playfully «Hey! I didn’t, take those words back»

«You did. I had to sacrifice myself»

«Oh the nerves! Because you said that, I declare that there will be no more kiss exchanged tonight. Nada»

«Nooooo, the punishment is too severe for the petty crime committed»

You took your chin between your thumb and forefinger, pretending to think

«Who’s begging for a kiss now, I wonder»

He grabbed your waist and dragged you against him. He was eager to kiss, to taste you and you seemed to share the same impulse. He wanted to taste every centimeter of your body right here, right now letting no spot unloved. But he couldn’t. Maybe it was for the best after all. He loved that he took his time with you. He loved that he get to know you better before he would share that kind of intimacy. He burned himself once, this time, he wants to make things perfect.

«I knew you were the one»

With a small peck on his lips, you said «Next time, I will tell you how I fell for you, should I? Now, go. Someone is waiting for you.

December 23

You were at your family party, all dolled up in a short black dress when you received a text message from Jimin. You have talked with him all day long. You have realised that it won’t be easy to plan a date with him. For the next few days, if you don’t have a party, he does. The only party that you have in common is december 24. Jin and Joon always threw a party for their friends on christmas eve and this year, you were invited for the first time. You auto declared Hyeon official babysitter for the night since you didn’t met her yet. Your relation with Jin and Joon as deepens during the year and you were happy to call them your friends now.

Jimin: I hope you have fun. Did you received nice christmas presents?

You: My favorite present, I received it last night. It was a kiss from a mind blowing man. So beautiful, I could have think he was a model.

Jimin: He’s way too small to be a model :)

You: true

Jimin: Hey! You were supposed to deny politely :)

You: Will it make it better if I tell you I can’t wait to unwrap my favorite present?

Jimin: …

You: …

Jimin: You mean, THAT???

You: oh, do I? ;)

Jimin: You’re telling me this and we can’t meet before what? 3 days?

You: Well, I am bored. Santa is gone and we've already eaten the buffet ... but I'm too lazy to walk. Wanna come get me, bring me home and spend the rest of the night?

Jimin: address?

You: ah ah ah! Just so you know, I’ll be the pretty girl waiting for you outside. Hurry up

Jimin: I am not taking the time to pack a pajama. Sorry not sorry.

You: Hurry up! I want to take you in my arms to make sure that this is all real.

Jimin: Let’s make it real real love.

You knew that you and Jimin would fit together well. You guessed it when you fell for him and you had a hint of it last night when you shared a couple of kisses. You were not prepared for that night of love making though. None of your previous boyfriend prepared you for that passionate sex you shared with Jimin. It was a torrid night, spent discovering each other’s body without any complex. No area remained without being kissed, observed, licked, smelled or bitten. All this passion was burning but consumed slowly, painfully slowly until one or the other lost control and took the lead to reach his ultimate pleasure. Exploding under the loving caresses of the other.

Jimin knew exactly how to satisfy a woman but when you pointed out to him he surprised you with his response «It has nothing to do about me or my supposed skills. It has everything to do with our connection. I am giving you what your body is asking for and you are doing the same for me». Damn, he was right!

When the alarm went off that morning, you were still kissing, well seated on his thighs with him deep inside of you. You were in your umpteenth love making session and you didn’t want your hands to get away from him anytime soon. Leaning on your side, you stop the alarm and came back to work on him. He sat under you and you crossed your legs behind his butts as you slowly continued to rock your hips with languid movement, both of your bodies exhausted but still thirsty for more.

«Jimin...» you said as you hide your face in the crook of his neck, humming his smell.

«Hum...»

«I think I am falling for you» he took his hands off your hips and gently framed your face. He guided you so that you looked him in the eyes when he whispered to you

«That’s good love because I know I have”

Words were no longer necessary, your bodies and your eyes could speak without them and the «I love you» message was clear even though none of you said it out loud, too early in the relationship.

Nonetheless, love was the only thing between you during this languorous night and you both felt it.

December 24

«Are you sure you don’t want to tell them»? Jimin asked you over the phone while looking at you from his window.

«No, let’s see how long it will take for them to realise it»

«Ok, go first, I will come in 5 minutes. You look stunning by the way»

You blushed at his compliment.

«You haven’t seen my dress yet, you silly»

«It's not your dress that I compliment, it's your face»

«Tell me again, how I got so lucky?»

«I am the lucky one here, don’t fight me. Now, go inside before you get sick again» You started to walk towards your friends apartment, still talking on the phone with your now called lover «I can’t wait to take you in my arms, I think I am addicted to you».

«Already?»

«How can it be otherwise?»

«Gonna hang on now, see you in a few minutes».

«Can’t wait»

It wasn’t a smaller party that the previous years, you learned. Jin and Namjoon having a newborn baby girl at home now, you could have thought that it was going to be intimate. But since they prepared this party with Yoo and that he was waiting for it for quite long, they didn’t changed anything and did as planned.

You have brought gifts for the 4 family members and you placed it under their Christmas tree as soon as you arrived, telling them to unwrap it later when they are alone. You made sure to give all your attention to Yoo Sang before you even pronounced the name of his little sister. When you have hugged and talked a few minutes with him, you asked him if he could present you his little Hyeon. He brought you in his father’s room and when you saw Namjoon in a big rocking chair, you realised that you haven’t seen him yet. He was humming her a melody, caressing the little hair on her head softly. Your heart melted from so much softness.

«Sangie, Jimin and his brothers has arrived» you heard Jin shout.

He ran out of the room without further ado.

“Since you and Jimin babysat him the other day, he can’t stop talking about you”. Joon told you after you kissed his cheeks and kiss the little baby’s head.

“Oooh, really?”

“Yes! Of course. I don’t know how to thank you”.

“There is no need to thank me”.

“Y/n, please. I am truly grateful for your help. You have no idea what a feminine presence means for Yoo. As you know now, he was beaten by both his mom and grandma to the point he had broken bones. You are the first feminine figure he trusts and for us, it means that he will be resilient. So thank you”.

You couldn’t help the tears from running over your cheeks.

“Hey, cry baby! Wanna hold the little princess?”

“Yes, please but she is so small, she looks like a premature baby. Are you sure she is a month old?

He stood up and invited you to take the seat. When you were comfortably installed, he placed her in your arms gently. She was the most beautiful baby girl you’ve ever seen even tho she seemed so fragile and skinny. You realised that something was missing. She had absolutely no baby fat anywhere you looked. Namjoon who observed you and knew what you were thinking said

“Yes, she was deprived from milk. She lacked vitamins and minerals. Out biggest hope is she will be able to grow old healthy from now on. It might have caused her brain damages. We have to wait and see”

“Jesus Christ! Namjoon, this is so fucking sad. I could cut both of my arms and give it to her. Cut my brain and give it to her. She never deserved this”.

“I heard someone said she was ugly earlier… that’s why we are hiding”.

“Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me? Who said that? Give me a name and I will make sure that person eats his own genital for dinner served cold in a silver plate”.

Namjoon laughed.

“She is beautiful Joonie. Absolutely beautiful, there is no reason to hide her”.

“Actually, I was not hiding her, I was protecting my weak heart. I can’t hear a bad comment on my child, it’s killing me”.

When the baby wriggle in your arms and started to cry, Namjoon’s voice calmed her down. Noticing it, you gave her back to him. She had a content smile on her face as soon as she was in her father’s arms.

“Let’s go, people are waiting for us” he said.

“We’ll come back together if anything happens again. We’ll let Jin play the hostess and we’ll come back here. You don’t have to be alone with this pain”

“You are my guardian angel Y/n. I love you”.

“Love you too pretty dimple boy. Now, let’s go”.

The party was an absolute success. It didn’t take long for people to notice that you and Jimin were now together. The second you were in the same room, you immediately ended up side by side, his hands on you somewhere. Only places that were publicly acceptable of course, but on you nevertheless. He was an absolute sweetheart, not being glued on you but having a tender gesture when you were together.

It was the end of the evening when you realised that on the room where you were, only the people you love the most in this world were present.

On the couch Tae and his girlfriend who were in a deep conversation with Yoongi and Chae Li. Jungkook who was rocking little Yoo on the rocking chair of the living room a big blanket on both of them. You’re not sure who will fall asleep first between them. Jin was feeding his daughter, smiling fondly at her. Namjoon was talking with his sister and Hoseok. He wanted to introduce them for so long now, saying that they would fit perfectly. Turned out he might have been right if you still know how to read your brother’s eyes.

Most of all, there was Jimin that dragged you onto his laps. You fell heavily on him, the side of your body leaning against his chest, your arms snaking around his neck. When your head founded its home in the crook of his neck, you hummed in content.

“You smell good Jimin”.

“Oh, really?”

“Yes, your skin, it smells good”

“Ooooh… “

You were so tired from intensively working, from the recent virus, from not sleeping at all last night. You could have fell asleep on his laps.

“Want to come and sleep at my place”

“Will I be allowed to take a shower?”

“Only if I can take it with you” you lifted up your head and looked at him, trying to see what his intentions were.

“What?” He wondered.

“I’m just trying to see if your intentions are pure”.

He burst out of laughter.

“You are so tired, my intentions are pure. You need to sleep and so do I”

“I don’t know if I am deceived by that answer or not”.

He laughed and said “me neither”.

When you entered his house that was literally next door, you both fell on the bed. Hugging each other tight, you fell asleep with the feeling of being loved, of being home.

December 25

«Jimin...you awake?» You asked, knowing well that he was still asleep, you could hear him snoring softly. He dragged you closer to him and hummed your hair.

«Jimin open your eyes!»

«No, I’m scared that you would have been a dream if I do»

«Why are you so cute? Of course it’s not a dream, look» You kissed his naked shoulder and brushed your lips and nose along his clavicle. He probably got rid of his shirt while sleeping.

«Please baby, open your eyes»

«What’s there for me if I do?»

«That’s the whole point. You will see» He did as you requested and discovered mistletoe hanging from the ceiling. He automatically smiled.

«Who did that? I am pretty sure it was not there when we fell asleep last night?»

«It was not. You know what it means, right?»

«Let me tell you something pretty girl. I plan on kissing you first thing in the morning every day till the end of time. And I also plan on kissing you every night before we fall asleep. I am planning it ever since I saw you catching snowflakes with your tongue».

«Aaaaaw! Jimin… I come I deserve you»

«Wanna kiss me, now? The mistletoe is waiting»

«I’m pretty sure that the mistletoe doesn’t care at all»

«Sshhhh woman. Kiss me»

«I will, every morning from now on» You said right after you kissed his nose playfully.

«Promise?» he asked

«Well unless...» You burst out of laughter when you saw his expression. You wanted to tease him a little but in fact, there is nothing you want more than to wake up in his arms and start the day like that.

«Jimin. I want it too. I promise» He kissed you for real this time as to show you what awaits you in the future. No, you couldn't have asked for better.

Where / Ever

Hobi is a warrior training to become a paladin: a warrior who wields a sword in one hand and the texts of a god in the other. However, he finds himself victim to a strange set of nightmares that change his course in life forever. [BTS fantasy AU fic set in a D&D/RPG-like (so medieval fantasy) world. 4.5k words, stand-alone. Doesn’t go on and on about any religion, real or fake, a great deal. No pairings, just J-Hope being J-Hope in a way. This is gonna be a trip, so settle down for a ride.] Enjoy your freaky Friday the 13th, y’all! _____________________________________________________ Hobi woke up that morning drenched in sweat. The sun shone in from his window, illuminating his room. He groaned and lifted his blanket over his head. With each passing day, the day of his great final exam was drawing closer. The fighting test that would ensure that he’d become a paladin. Despite it being a childhood dream, now that he was closer to achieving it, the more he longed to just stay in bed until there were no more gods. A knock at his door made him sit up in bed. “Hobi, come on! You’re late! The Grandmaster is going to have you by the ears for this!” Hobi recognized that voice as one of his fellow paladins-in-training. Hobi groaned before rubbing his eyes and getting out of bed. “Okay, okay, I’m workin’ on it!” Hobi said as he clumsily got dressed. His hair was a wild, untamed mess. It clashed with the simple elegance of his light plate armor. Hobi, like all good paladins, spent an inordinate amount of time ensuring that his armor shined. Over the years, he had grown convinced that this wasn’t just to ensure the armor’s upkeep but to also attempt to blind any opponents with the awesome nature of a paladin’s armor. Hobi stumbled out of his room. He went towards the direction of the main eating hall only for one of his fellow trainees to grab him by the arm. “Come on, sleepyhead. You slept in too late. Again. Grandmaster said no breakfast for late sleepers.” Hobi grumbled as he walked side by side with his fellow student. As they walked outdoors towards the training ring, Hobi covered his eyes to keep the sun from blinding him. The lush green fields and the bright sun made for a beautiful day. Hobi only frowned when he saw the rest of his fellow trainees standing in a circle with the Grandmaster in the center. Hobi calmly walked over. Two trainees moved to make space for him. “Late again, are we?” The Grandmaster stopped in the middle of his previous speech to ask that. “Yes, Grandmaster,” Hobi said with as little enthusiasm as possible. The Grandmaster sighed before continuing his speech about how the circle of life worked. Or that’s what Hobi assumed. He began to tune out the speeches on right and wrong long ago. Deep down he knew their version of right and wrong was wrong. “He has to be the worst paladin I’ve ever seen.” Hobi tuned in just in time to hear someone across from him whispering that. “I know! I’m surprised Grandmaster hasn’t fussed at him about his hair…” Another person whispered. Hobi sighed. He knew they were talking about him. He was the butt of jokes for his training group. Ever since he had first arrived as a snot-nosed teenager, they had ridiculed him. So Hobi threw himself into training to be a great paladin. Now that he was among the top students of his class, despite his manners and appearance, it drove his fellow students mad. Lately, however, Hobi felt himself starting to slip... “Hobi!” The Grandmaster snapped. Hobi looked up and towards the Grandmaster. “Yes, Grandmaster?” Hobi asked. “You see a burning house. You go to investigate it. You see a mother and child inside, both still alive but struggling to get out. You also see an altar of evil in the home. What do you do?” The Grandmaster asked. Hobi stood there. I hate these stupid tests, it’s all about morals. It’s not about what techniques you’d actually use. Hobi scratched the back of his neck before answering. “I’d rush in and save them,” Hobi said with a degree of confidence that made his comrades’ stomach churn. “No, you wouldn’t. A good paladin would leave them be.” The Grandmaster said with a frown. “You’re telling me that just because you see possible proof of wrong-doing, you’d leave two people to die?” Hobi exclaimed. The group gasped as he spoke out of turn. “There is right and there is wrong, Hobi. Evil in any form cannot be condoned.” “Yes, but maybe they weren’t evil! Many times, a tribe of barbarians take over and replace the local population’s gods with evil ones. On the pain of death, they have to get rid of their old gods or get killed!” Hobi said. His attempt to restrain himself in a more subdued way of speaking failed as he grew more enraged.The other trainees in the circle whispered among each other. Hobi sighed, knowing they were insulting him and his words. “You can’t punish people for what is out of their control. Maybe the mother and child had no choice but to put the altar-” Hobi started. “That’s how the degeneracy begins, students. You let one person slip through the cracks and into evil. Then before you know it, the entire countryside is engulfed in darkness.” The Grandmaster said. The tone in his voice let Hobi know all he needed to know. Hobi frowned. I’ve done nothing but disappoint people since I got here... He thought. “Do you even know the procedure for saving people?” The Grandmaster asked after a moment of nothing but the other trainees whispering among themselves. “I… um…” Hobi said as he scratched the back of his neck. “… you save people?” The Grandmaster sighed. “Hobi. What do you do after that?” “Wish them well?” The Grandmaster shook his head at Hobi’s response. “No. You’re supposed to teach them about the gods. Haven’t you been paying any attention?” Hobi knew replying either way would result in harsh words. So he decided not to reply at all. The Grandmaster rolled his eyes and waved his hand dismissively. “Just… go back to your room. Go get some sleep, you clearly are lacking that.” The Grandmaster tried to say that in as caring a tone as he could. Hobi, however, only heard the excuse he was given to leave. Hobi sighed and walked off towards his room. Hobi stared at the austerity of his room. I hate it here. Was the only pressing thought on his mind. I’m not allowed to be myself here. I used to be so different. I’d laugh, I’d shout… now I can’t do any of that. I have to be this shell that spouts out whatever propaganda the Grandmaster feels is appropriate. Hobi closed his door, changed into more comfortable clothes, and sat on his bed. He had not pulled his curtains closed to block out the sunlight. He happened to look out the window when he heard a songbird warbling in the distance. The world isn’t a scary place. Yes, there may be scary parts of it. But there’s so much beauty. I don’t think people can be straight good or straight evil. Hobi sighed as he turned away from the window. He began to try and lay down when a sharp caw snapped him out of his thoughts and into reality. Hobi looked back towards his windowsill to see a crow sitting there. He sat up. For a split second he eyed the sword he kept near his door. The crow tilted its head and cawed again. Something about the way the crow stared at him caused Hobi to feel uneasy. I know that crow. I swear I do… He thought as he stood up. Just as he reached out to touch the crow, the crow flew off. Hobi stared out the window wondering if it would come back before he sat back down on the bed. Eventually, he laid back down on the bed. When Hobi awoke again, it was dark. The full moon was the only thing illuminating his room. What awoke him was the sound of the crow again, cawing on his windowsill. Hobi got out of bed again, and like earlier, tried to touch the crow. This time, instead of flying away, it vanished in thin air. Hobi gasped before letting out a groan. Not another dream, please… He thought as he heard a knock at his door. Hobi opened his door, ready to tell off whoever was bothering him. Instead of seeing the normal hallways of his training grounds, but a white room with a wooden table in the center. Hobi hesitated at the doorframe for a moment. Two men were sitting at the table. Hobi didn’t recognize one of them. He looked to be a bit older than Hobi was and wore glasses. The other man, however, Hobi felt like he recognized. His short, shorter than Hobi’s hair at that moment, seemed to be a dirty blond. When the blond man looked up, he smiled, revealing his dimples. Hobi stood there, staring at the man, trying to remember who he was. I know his face, but I don’t… I don’t know his name. But I should know his name! But I don’t… Hobi thought. “J-Hope hyung! You look like you didn’t know we were meeting today. Which is funny because you are late…” The blond man said in a jovial tone. Hobi looked over his shoulder, trying to find who this J-Hope person was. The older man laughed and shook his head. “You know he’s always a joker.” That statement made the two men chuckle a bit before the blond man invited Hobi into the room and to have a seat. Hobi sighed. Great. Another weird dream. What is it going to be this time, me getting eaten by herd of a giant sheep? Hobi shrugged and sat down in a chair close to the man. “So! I know we’ve already discussed making this album a series of solo songs for each member of the group, yes?” The older man asked. “Yes.” The blond man said. “But we still have to do that comeback trailer. I know we discussed themes for the album, but I… I don’t think that temptation is a good idea for a theme. Especially for a comeback trailer, people may think our album is just… I don’t know.” Hobi looked at the older man before looking at the blond man. I shouldn’t add anything, should I? He asked himself. When the older man turned towards him, Hobi knew that staying quiet wasn’t an option. Okay, it’ s only a dream. It’s not like whatever I do is going to affect anyone’s future, right? “I mean… Temptation is a great theme, I think. Doesn’t everyone deal with temptation? I mean, don’t we all want things we’re not supposed to?” Hobi asked. The grin on his face disappeared once he realized that both the older man and the blond man were staring at him. “That is true, you know, Rap Monster.” The older man said. The blond man nodded. “You were having a hard time writing the lyrics for the comeback trailer, I know. Why not let J-Hope help? After all, we were talking about making it his comeback trailer…” Hobi felt his jaw slack as shock took over him. “L-lyrics?” RM chuckled and shook his head. Hobi nearly started to frown when RM’s smile faded. RM sighed. “J-Hope hyung, I wasn’t making fun of you. I thought you were kidding! You make a lot of jokes. There’s a reason people call you the sunshine of the group, you know. Look. How about you, Pdogg and I work on the lyrics for this? Then you can rap it or sing it, you can make your own dance routine too! That’d be cool, don’t you think?” RM said with such enthusiasm that Hobi found it impossible to say no. Until he remembered something. “But… But I can’t sing or dance. And I don’t know what rapping is.” Hobi said in a serious tone. Instead of chuckling, RM just shot a wary glance over towards Pdogg. “Don’t tell me you’ve been listening to those netizens again. Don’t listen to them, they don’t have any idea what they’re talking about. You are one of the best dancers I’ve ever met. And your rapping? Without you, our rap line wouldn’t be so great!” RM said to diffuse the situation. It worked as Hobi smiled at his words. “But we’ll focus on the lyrics for now and we’ll worry about the singing, dancing and all of that later.” “And you can’t forget the MV,” Pdogg said in a voice barely above a whisper. A ringing noise made Pdogg sigh before taking a strange object out of his pocket and looking at it. “I’m sorry boys, but I have to go. We’ve already gone over what lyrical offerings I have to offer. Bye!” Pdogg got up and began to leave the room. Hobi watched him as he left. “What? I… What’s an M-” Hobi began before just shaking his head. They haven’t answered any of my questions so far, why are they gonna start now? They clearly think I’m someone else. Pdogg closed the door behind him, further making sure that Hobi’s questions would be unanswered. Hobi looked back at RM and cleared this throat before speaking up. “Let’s get started.” “Good, now I have some lines I thought of for the song. I have the hook, I believe, but I can’t think of the first verse.” RM said as he opened up a notebook. Inside were a bunch of notes and scribbles, with one page titled ‘comeback trailer’. He pushed the notebook towards Hobi. “See, I only have bits and pieces for the first verse.” Words like ‘this love is another name for the devil’, ‘but because of my uncontrollable greed’, and ‘because of my childish love’ all jumped out at Hobi. He poured over what RM had written so far. Hobi felt like the lyrics that RM had written so far were capturing what Hobi himself truly had been feeling lately. Despite never having met the man before… “What about, for this line ‘because of my childish love’, it ends with ‘I lost my way’ or something. Something about a dream you had but you abandoned it for something better?” Hobi suggested. RM nodded. “How about ‘I lost my way on a path of a dream’?” RM asked as he began to write those words down. “Sounds good!” Hobi said, watching RM write. “Any ideas for the first line?” RM asked. “I was thinking something about light…” It took a moment for Hobi to realize that RM was still talking. It was just that Hobi couldn’t hear him. Hobi reached out to touch RM when he heard another knock at the door. It was louder, more insistent than the previous one. Hobi stood up and slowly went to the door. Hobi pressed his ear against the door to ear someone on the other side, muffled, telling him to hurry up. Hobi opened the door to find a man about his age with yellowish blond hair. He had bangs that covered his eyebrows but somehow his face was able to carry a great deal of expression without visible eyebrows. The stranger smiled a little once Hobi came out of the room. A very toothy but somehow attractive smile. “I thought you were dead or something.” The man said in a slightly teasing tone. “I… I was um… I was just writing lyrics.” Hobi said, trying to remember whatever words this dream wanted him to use. “Really?” The man’s voice dripped with interest. “I didn’t know you were planning on a follow-up for your mixtape so soon, Hoseok-hyung. That explains a lot. Usually, I’m the one who stays in my hotel room all day while the rest of you decide to go do whatever.” Hobi smiled. He’s my friend. He thought as he watched the man shrug. I don’t know how I know that, but he’s my friend. “I just wanted to tell you that…” The man cut off his words as he turned towards the wall behind him. An odd portal seemed attached to the wall behind them out in the hallway. There was a little chime playing, one that Hobi felt he had heard before as he watched the white screen faded into a black one. Hobi was confused as to what he was seeing. Flashing images of a bunch of things that Hobi felt he recognized began whatever it was he was watching. Hobi’s eyes widened as he realized that in one of the brief clips he saw himself with a group of other men. When he saw what looked like was his profile standing there in the shadows, his mind began to race. That can’t be me. There’s no way that can be- His jaw dropped when the shot lit up and revealed it was indeed him. Hobi was still in denial right up until he heard himself singing. For about the next three minutes, Hobi stood there, his eyes transfixed on that odd portal as he watched himself. He found himself chuckling as the copy of him in that portal proclaimed ‘wherever my way’. The way the portal him said that reminded real-life Hobi of how he used to be before the paladin training set in. Perhaps that reminder was what made Hobi grin ear to ear as he video on the portal came to a close. Hobi swore he felt tears forming in his eyes as he watched the portal version of him sitting on top of a building, lit up by the bright lights of the city. The video ended and the man chuckled. Hobi snapped his head over towards him. He had forgotten where he was and who he was with. The man was smiling, which relieved Hobi in some way. “That turned out really well!” The man said. “I think it perfectly captures who you are based on the beats alone. I’m glad they used some samples from the intro from our debut album... We’ve come a long way since we debuted, haven’t we?” Unsure of what to say, Hobi only nodded in response. “I still wish we could go to just one hotel without people knowing who we are, though. It was kind of cool that they decided to play your comeback trailer.” The man said in a whisper. Hobi wanted to ask him why that was when the man spoke again. “Look, I’m going to go rest up. That was a very good MV though, everything about it was great! Maybe you should write more songs.” The man said as he patted Hobi’s shoulder. Before Hobi could even mutter thanks, the man walked off, leaving Hobi to look around the hallway. Just as Hobi thought of walking further down the hallway, there was a knock on the door behind him. Hobi turned and placed a hand on the doorknob. He waited to hear some noise from behind the door. Only silence. Hobi opened the door to find himself standing in front of a dark forest at night. The trees looked gnarled and blackened by the light of the full moon. Crickets were the only noise he could hear. Hobi braced himself for the worst. This is only a dream. He reminded himself over and over. He walked out into the forest. As he took a few steps in, he heard the door behind him close. He turned around to see that the door was gone. There was the only forest both behind and in front of him. A cawing noise made Hobi look up at one of the tall trees in front of him. A crow was perched upon a high branch, eyeing the young man. Hobi swallowed hard. The crow tilted its head to the other side to stare at him through its other eye. An eye that was unnaturally blue. Hobi took a deep breath. This is only a dream. He reminded himself again. The crow flew down from the branch. It swooped down near Hobi, who cowered when it flew past him. Hobi stood back up once he was sure the crow was gone. The crow cawed again from behind him, where it sat on a tree stump. Hobi sighed. “What do you want, huh?” Hobi asked the crow. “I know this is just a dream, okay? Can’t you just… go away so I can wake up?” The crow cawed again. This time, the caw transformed into laughter. A cloud of black feathers surrounded the crow. Once the cloud disappeared, a human man was sitting there on the tree stump. His hair was pitch black, as if Hobi was staring at a void instead of hair, as were his clothes and eyes. His eyes seemed to lack a human glow to them. Hobi closed his eyes for a moment to remind himself once again that this was not reality. “Why would you want to wake up? Don’t you like your dreams?” The strange man asked. His voice sounded both mysterious and ordinary. Hobi opened his eyes to see the man sitting there still. “I… I do, but… they’re just dreams.” Hobi said. The man sighed as he stood up. “Then you aren’t ready.” The man began to walk away. “Wait! Not ready for what?” Hobi asked. The man laughed before turning back around to face him with his arms crossed. “Ready for the truth.” Hobi felt himself squint at the man, much to the man’s delight. “You’re the only one who has the dreams, you know. The rest of them don’t.” The man said. “I know that I know that the rest of the trainees don’t have these dreams,” Hobi said. “No, no. That’s not what I meant.” The man sighed a heavy sigh. “There’s seven of you, you’re one of them.” “Seven?” “Yes, seven. Seven of you who were taken from one reality and placed into another.” “And how am I one of them?” The man rolled his eyes.“You were brought here by someone who doesn’t want you messing with that reality anymore. In the other reality… Your dreams are the reality, Hobi. Your nightmares? They aren’t nightmares. Your life in this reality is the nightmare.” Hobi began to shake his head. The words ‘that is impossible’ were about to cross his lips when the man continued. “There are six others. All of you have to defeat the darkness in this reality to get back to your real reality. In the real world, you are famous beyond anyone’s wildest dreams, Jung Hoseok. Your restlessness, your dreams are all a result of the real world, the real you wanting to exist and be real again. To do that, you must defeat the one person who wants to keep you here. The one person whose goal is to keep the people across all realities unhappy.” “Where will I find that person?” Hobi’s words spurted out before he got a chance to contain them. “You can’t defeat that person alone.” The man said. He snapped his fingers and a wooden box appeared in front of Hobi. “Go on, pick it up.” Hobi hesitated for a moment. The man’s glance urged him to do as he demanded. Hobi lifted the box, expecting it to be heavy. It was lightweight. Hobi opened the lid of it. Seven ribbons, each one a unique color, were laid out. He managed to pick out the one that caught his eye. A silver ribbon, which glowed gently in the moonlight. The man chuckled. Hobi looked up at him as he felt the box disappear from his hand. “You will get your calling soon enough. You and the six others will bring peace to the land and then you may return to your own reality.” “But… how do I know you’re not lying? Or that this isn’t just some weird dream? How will I know those six others? How will we-” Hobi’s voice grew frantic as the information finally set in. “You only need to know that you will know those things and the answers to them in time.” The man said. Before Hobi could ask another question, the man dissipated into a cloud of black feathers. The man’s last statement rang in Hobi’s ears as he began to wake. Hobi sat up in his own bed at the knocking at his door. At first, he ignored it. I could still be asleep. Hobi reminded himself. The knocking grew more frenzied the longer Hobi waited. He made sure he was at least dressed decently before opening the door. An elf stood outside the door. Hobi knew he was gawking at her for he had never seen an elf before. He had heard the countless rumors that elves were pretty, but he never thought they could be that pretty. If he was more awake, he would have thought of something interesting to say to her. Something about her pretty black hair or the faint freckles that ran across her nose and cheeks. Maybe even something about her green eyes. “Are you Hobi?” She asked curtly. “Yeah, that’s me,” Hobi said as he leaned in the doorway. He laughed nervously at realizing she was a bit taller than he was. That and the fact he nearly lost his footing trying to look relaxed by leaning against the door’s frame. His confident tone seemed to outshine his slip up as she did not seem to notice. She nodded her head in acknowledgment of his answer. “Message for you. From the king.” She said as she handed him an envelope. Hobi took it, expecting he would be able to finally interject some kind of one-liner when she just walked off. He sighed as he looked down at his envelope. There was nothing on the front, but a red seal with Elvish writing on it on the back. I can’t read that. I hope I can read the letter… Hobi thought as he ripped open the envelope. He pulled out the single piece of parchment paper. The paper only had a few sentences on it, written in clear cursive. The time is now. Be at The Crested Dragon at dark tonight. Your quest begins now, Hobi. It was unsigned. Hobi shook his head at the letter. His name was right and he knew where that inn was, it was right in town. This can’t be right. This isn’t for me, I don’t know any elves, let alone an Elvish king- His thumb brushed over an unfamiliar texture. He moved his thumb to see a silver ribbon identical to the one from his dream. He closed his eyes for a moment as the man’s last sentence rang in his head. You only need to know that you will know those things and the answers to them in time… Hobi packed all of his things. He showed the letter to the Grand Master, who gave him permission to leave his training as long as he called himself a ‘probationary paladin’, do good by the order, and came back to training as soon as he was done. The Grand Master seemed more concerned with the seal rather than the letter’s contents. As Hobi walked away from the training compound where he had spent the last few years of his life in misery, he hummed to himself. He was grinning with the knowledge that he would never, ever come back. He accidentally bumped into another trainee coming back inside. “Hey!” The trainee cried. “Where do you think you’re going?” Hobi thought for a moment. The look on the trainee’s face let Hobi knew the man was looking for a fight. Instead of apologizing, Hobi only shrugged. “Wherever my way is,” Hobi said lightly as he walked off.

Gyve (4.5)

| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Chapter 4.5 | 5 |

Member - Hoseok x reader

Genre - Angst, Drama,

Word count - 8.5K

Summary - On the occasion of your best friends’ wedding and high school reunion, you happened to meet once again, one of the richest heirs of the country, famous fuckboy Jung Hoseok.

While the world saw him as a cocky arrogant person and you, as a confident, strong woman, only the two of you knew the scars that were hidden, and things you both were unable to fix.

Only the two of you could see right through each others facade.

But could you and Hoseok finally break the gyves holding you back? Or were you the ones who shackled each other in the first place?

TAGS - @melodylikemusic @madhatterxd @ficcanasope @gwynethjodie - Thank you all these lovely people for being together with me in this crazy series and I hope you stick with me till the end! Here’s chapter 4.5 for you sweethearts, let me know what you think about it!

{a/n} Okay this is only half of what I originally planned for chapter 5 and so it’s not very happening but it’s building action for Chapter 6 which is tbh the most important to the entire series :)

Warnings - mentions of criminal activity

Hoseok stared at the picture before him, and gulped a little before nodding. “Yes, yes I know her.”

You looked at the up side down picture of the woman the police officer was holding out before you. You had definitely seen her before too, but where?

“Where were you yesterday afternoon Mr.Jung?” The officer stared hard at the man standing a little far away from you, but not far enough for you to not see his hesitation before answering.

“I was out...um...I went for a drive to the beach.”

“At what time did you leave the hotel? And when did you come back?”

“Officer.” Namjoon stepped up, raising the questions everyone present there had. “What is this about? You’ve been-”

“Mr. Kim, please, allow me to do my job and -”

“I’m not asking you to not ask questions but for God’s sake at least tell us why you are doing all this.”

“The woman in this picture.” The officer held it up for you all to see.

Her.

You knew her. You had seen her here before. She was the call girl who came to the hotel that night...for Hoseok. You looked at him to see him looking down. What had he done?

“This woman has been missing.” The officer continued. “A complaint has been filed to look for her and that’s why we are here.”

“What has Hoseok got to do with all this?” Namjoon frowned. “Hobi, who is she?”

Hoseok swallowed silently taking a deep breath. “She’s...she’s a-”

“A call girl.” Emma interrupted. He was taking far too long. Why was he taking so long? “She came over to the hotel a couple of days ago. Us girls, we all saw her.”

The women next to you nod as all of you recollect the barely dressed woman who had appeared asking for Hoseok by the poolside on the day of the photoshoot.

“But what has Hoseok gotten to do with her being missing?”

“He was her last customer.” The officer clarified. “She hadn’t returned to the agency since the night she had left for Mr. Jung. Yesterday afternoon, the agency got a ransom video call for her but the culprits face could not be seen. The agency also claims that she knows nobody in the city and nobody knows her, so the one who did must be one of their clients. Since Mr. Jung was their last client we have come to question him as he is a suspect.”

“That’s ridiculous.” Jin stepped up. “You cannot merely arrest someone without enough evidence. There is no evidence that Hoseok did anything-”

“Yet Mr.Kim. There is no evidence yet. That’s why Mr. Jung is still a suspect not the culprit and the reason why I haven’t arrested him yet.” The officer turned back to Hoseok. “So Mr. Jung, where were you yesterday afternoon?.”

“I told you, I went out on a drive to the beach.”

“At what time?”

“I don’t remember exactly, I think around 12.”

“I need answers that have certainty Mr. Jung. Please try to give me accurate answers. Now, did anyone accompany you? Is there someone who can confirm your presence at the beach?”

“No...I didn’t go with anyone.”

“Anyone who saw you there who can confirm your alibi?”

“....I don’t think so.” Hoseok shook his head slowly.

The officer let out a sigh and shut his notebook. “Listen Mr. Jung, There is a reason why I am here in your hotel lobby and not the station firing questions at you. You are from a reputed family and I’m trying to save you the dishonor of being dragged to and from police stations.. I need you to give me answers where I cannot ask anymore questions. You need to give me solid answers which I can record. Do you understand me?” The officer raised his eyebrows questioningly. “Now I will require some some sort of proof you were not making that ransom call at that time. Did you at least tell anyone before leaving?”

Hoseok nearly shook his head. He would have if you hadn’t stepped forward.

“I saw him there.” All heads turned to look at you. Everyone there knew you were in hotel the whole afternoon. They all knew it that was a lie. They all could see you were trying to save him. “I saw him at the beach.”

The officer frowned. “But he says he went alone.”

Hoseok looked at you shaking his head. He was asking you, pleading you with his eyes to not do this. But you didn’t listen.

“He didn’t know I was there. I was following him.”

“You were following him? Why?”

Jungkook stepped up in front of you. Any more questions and you were bound to mess up. He had to save you before that. “She might have had her own personal reasons officer and it’s not appropriate to discuss here and now-”

“Something happened between us the night before.” Everyone fell silent again turning to you in shock. If you were doing this you had to do it right. “It didn’t exactly end well. I needed to make sure he was okay so when I saw him leaving alone I went after him.”

“And what happened the night before?”

“Okay now you’re really crossing the line.” You could hear the anger dripping from Jungkook’s voice. You knew this was where you had to stop. You knew who that anger was directed to, and it was not at the officer for sure.

“I’m sorry Mr. Jeon I was merely trying to understand the situation.”

“She followed him. She saw him there. He is not you culprit.” Jungkook grabbed you around the wrist tightly. “Period.”

As the officer nodded taking notes, Jungkook walked away with you, taking you back to where the rest of the girls are standing. “If you say one more word.” He hissed below his breath, eyes flashing signs of a warning. “I swear to god Y/n, you will see the worst of me.”

Kate grabbed you by the arm looking serious as you stood not replying to Jungkook. “Y/n, what are you doing?” She whispered looking around tensed. “This is a police investigation Y/n, you can’t lie, if they find out then do you have any idea how much trouble you are in.”

“What am I supposed to do stand here and watch him being questioned like he’s the culprit and not do anything about it? Why are you all silent, why aren’t any of you saying this? You know Hoseok hasn’t done any of this right?”

Kate hesitated looking uncertain. “If he hasn’t done anything he will be able to defend himself without our help Y/n. There’s no need to risk your-”

“There is no risk here.” You looked at her ridiculously. “Wait a minute” You looked at the faces around you..”.....you don’t think Hoseok has done this do you?”

She didn’t answer that, simply lowering her eyes. Mia and Emma behind her didn’t say anything as well. Jungkook turned his face away.

“I can’t believe this. He’s Hoseok. He’s the Hobi who grew up with you all, with us. You don’t think he could do something like this?”

“He is also the same man none of us have seen for the past six years Y/n.” Jungkook emphasized. “Nobody knows what happened in these six years. What he’s done, how he’s changed or even who he is anymore.”

You turned to Emma. “He’s your brother Emma, you don’t think he....”

“I don’t.” She shook her head. “I don’t think he can. But...what am I supposed to do if he himself is unable to say something solid in his defense.”

You stood there, watching everyone in shock. What were they all saying? Hoseok wasn’t a man like that. You knew it. You don’t know why you are so sure but you knew it.

Jimin looked at then tense situation around him and walked up. “If you have gotten you answers then please-”

“Oh no Mr. Park.” The officer turned to Jimin, cutting him off. “It has only been established that he did not make the call. Not that he did not kidnap the victim.”

“Officer, it’s ridiculous. You know who he is.” Jimin rolled his eyes stating the obvious. “He is the heir of Jung and sons. Why would he even need to do such a petty thing?”

“I heard he was on the run for six years Mr. Park. And that he got his name taken away from the family inheritance.”

“That is none of you business.” Yoongi stepped up clearly furious. Everyone watched with their mouths slightly parted. Everyone knew Yoongi’s anger. They knew it meant no good. “You keep talking about irrelevant-”

“I’m giving you the reasons there are to suspect. You talk to me like I’m against you Mr. Min. If you can see I’m trying to help you here. Give me satisfactory answers, close all the loopholes and he won’t be touched again.”

Yoongi took a step back, standing next to Hoseok again who was silent the whole time, simply looking down. Why wasn’t he saying anything? When people were stepping up to save him why was he keeping quiet?

“On the night the victim approached you, where were you Mr. Jung?”

“In my room.” He answered.

“And when did she leave?”

Hoseok shook his head. “I don’t know.”

“Were you not with her the whole time?”

He shook his head again. “I left minutes after she came to the room. When I got back she wasn’t there.”

“When did you leave?”

“Around 11.”

You recollected Hoseok and you bantering by the poolside when he came looking for his wallet. It was around the same time, everything added up properly.

“How long were you away Mr. Jung?”

Hoseok hesitated. “Uh...nearly the whole night.”

Everyone looked confused. The officer stopped writing and looked up.

“You left the victim in your room the whole night? Where were you?”

Hoseok kept quiet. Why wasn’t the idiot answering? You turned to Emma. “Didn’t you say you met her when she was leaving? That she asked you to tell Hoseok never to call her or something like that?” Emma’s eyes widen as she remembered.

“She wasn’t in his room the whole night officer.” You spoke again ignoring the death stare Jungkook was giving you. “Emma saw her leave.”

“She left around midnight.” Emma nodded in remembrance. “I was going back to my room when I saw her.”

“You saw her leave the room, good. Did you also see her leave the hotel?”

Emma slowly shook her head as you rolled your eyes. This officer was asking too many questions. You opened your mouth to talk again but Jungkook held you back, hissing softly again. “I said, Keep. Quiet.”

“But I saw him that night too Jungkook! I’m not making up stuff this time.”

“He was with you the whole night?” Jungkook’s voice is almost a scary growl at the back of his throat that made even Yoongi who was next to him feel startled. “What were you-”

“No! No, I was working by the pool side and I saw him there for a few minutes-”

“Then that hardly matters.” He sounded more relaxed. “It still doesn’t tell us where he was till the rest of the night.”

He had a point. Where was Hoseok the rest of the night?

“Where were you the whole night Mr. Jung?” The officer voiced your thoughts as Hoseok fidgeted with his fingers.

“I wasn’t feeling up to it that night. I didn’t know how to tell her so I just left and....wandered about in the hotel.”

“You were wandering? There was no specific location you were at?”

By now everyone was groaning at the questions the officer had. He was being unreasonable and exhausting. But he had a point. This was the only way to keep him out of trouble.

“Alright that’s it.” Yoongi stood up and walked towards a bunch of girls at the corner of the lobby whom you hadn’t even noticed till now. The moment they saw Yoongi approaching they scrambled in fear, tucking their phones into their pockets. Yoongi stopped his tracks at their dispersal turning back around, a snarl on his face. “Goddamn teenagers. The moment they see us, first thing out, is their stupid cameras.”

You knew that. The famous Bangtan squad had to undergo the annoying act of being photographed where ever they went. They were never hidden from the cameras.....

“Camera!” You did it. You finally figured out a way to shut this stupid officer up. “Check the cctv footage of the hotel. You should find out whether or not Hoseok was wandering as he said.”

“Of course!” Mia stepped up looking relieved. “Of course, Y/n you genius. Officer that shouldn’t-”

“What, do you think I haven’t thought of that?” The officer wore an exasperated expression on his face. “To check the footage I need to provide the hotel with the official case sheet, I can’t just walk in and demand, I need to show reason. To create a case sheet means I am acknowledging Mr. Jung as a suspect. I will have to put his name down in police records and I came here in the first place to prevent exactly that - To refuse to even suspect him and take him over to the station because I already have evidence of his alibi. I’m trying to help you Mr. Jung. Getting your name in police records for whatever reason is a black mark against your reputation.”

“No.” Jin shook his head. “We will figure out some other way there’s no need to check-”

“Check it.” Hoseok interjected, gaining everyone’s attention. “It doesn’t matter if my name gets into records-”

“Hobi no.” Namjoon held his arm as Emma walked up to him. “We will find some way.”

“Don’t do this Hobi.” Yoongi stood before him. “We are trying to save you here-”

“How many times?” The Hoseok who was silent and lost all this while suddenly raised his voice like some realization had risen in him. “How many times will you do this? How many times will you all try to do this?” Yoongi let out a tired sigh but Hoseok didn’t let him speak. “I don’t care about police records Yoongi. It hardly makes a difference to me. Because I know I’m not at fault. I didn’t do anything wrong this time Yoongi. I didn’t do it this time.”

Yoongi put his hand on Hoseok’s shoulder “You didn’t do it last time as well Hobi-”

“This time.” He emphasized strongly, lips drawn in a hard line. “We are talking about now. and I didn’t do it. If the only way to prove it is to see the cctv footage then Ok. I have nothing to hide.”

“Are you sure Mr. Jung? I-”

“Just do it.” Hoseok turned to the officer, straightening up. “You will have all the evidence you need in that to tell you I’m innocent.”

The officer nodded turning to the hotel staff behind him. “I need to meet your manager. Tell him I need access to the surveillance room, this is a police case.”

With that the man clad in a blue uniform left the lobby and Mia immediately rushed to Hoseok. You would have too if Jungkook wasn’t holding your wrist so painfully tightly.

“Oh god what is going on? Why won’t you answer properly the moment he started asking questions Hobi? What were you hesitating for?” She took out a tissue from Jin’s pocket and began to hurriedly wipe all his sweat in a motherly way.

“I...I don’t know.” Hoseok looked so defeated. You had only seen him look like that once but you never wanted to see it again. But back then it was different, he looked mad, he was looking to blow off his steam. Now he just looked lost, he looked like he needed to be loved and cared and you were glad Mia was doing just that. “I just panicked Mia. I just wasn’t able to talk or to say anything...It seemed just like last time....all of you here and....”

“Shh shh okay okay.” Mia hugged him, rubbing his back gently. “Don’t think about that. It’s okay, whatever this is, it’s over now.”

Yoongi also patted Hoseok’s back slowly, everyone looking solemn, though shoulders relaxing a little with such a storm being averted. As Hoseok raised his head a little over Mia’s shoulder he met your eyes across the room, gratitude filled in his as he mouthed a small thank you.

You nodded, smiling a little uncertainly though, because there was only one tensed thought going on in your head despite everyone’s relief.

What did they all mean by ‘last time’?

It was nearly evening when they all returned.

All the five boys had accompanied Hoseok to the police station to complete the formalities despite him insisting that they needn’t. Even Emma and Mia followed, not listening to a word he had to say. Only Y/n didn’t. Rather, the look on Jungkook’s face didn’t allow her to. Hoseok was rather grateful to Jungkook for that. He didn’t need her to see him at his worst, at his weakest.

Yoongi put his arm around Hoseok’s shoulder when they stood inside lift. “I’ll follow him to his room. We pals have six years to catch up. You guys go ahead.” A light shiver went coursing through Hoseok’s body at the sound of that. But he trusted Yoongi enough not to bring up the past after all the traumatizing things that happened today. He trusted that Yoongi was just doing this to make sure everyone left him alone.

Everyone nodded, patting Hoseok’s back muttering ‘It’s okay’ and ‘everything’s fine now.’ and ‘don’t think about it too much.’, as they left whenever the life stopped on their floor. Mia latched onto Hoseok with a hug for so long that Jin had to pull her back slowly when they had to get out. At the last floor finally, Hoseok and Yoongi got off, only Namjoon and Emma following but they didn’t turn and walk away towards their room like Hoseok was hoping. Instead Emma turned to him.

“You should have talked to mom and dad once before putting your name in police records Hobi. You forget its not your name you are maligning your name in all this but the family’s-”

“Emma give him a break.” Namjoon held her wrist softly stopping her. “He’s just been through-”

“But you don’t understand Joonie.” Emma argued looking fierce. “For six years he refused to come home, he didn’t let us know where he was, he made my parents go mad looking for. Mom pined for you day and night for six years Hobi. You didn’t care one bit about any of us. But one fine morning you turn up and when you fall in trouble you think its okay to ruin the reputation we have been upholding so carefully in the society for so long?”

Her words cut his heart straight in half. He never thought about that. He never ever meant to hurt anyone like that. He only ever meant to hurt himself. Namjoon literally walked up before Emma looking at the hurt all over Hoseok’s face. “Enough Em, let’s-”

“She’s not wrong Joon.” Hoseok shook his head. “But you’re not right either Emma. There is no harm to your family name in all this. I walked away-”

“Its still our family name despite the fact that you refused to be in the inheritance. Whether or not you disowned us is irrelevant. The world shall always see you as a Jung.”

“Is six years not enough to change that Emma?”

“No, its not Hobi. A whole lifetime isn’t enough to change that. Because no matter how fast and how far you run you cannot run away from who you are....Or what you’ve done.”

“Namjoon.” Yoongi stepped up in front of Hoseok shielding him, causing Emma to disappear from his sight. “Take her away. Bring her back when she wants to talk to her brother as a sister and not as a business woman who can’t see her brother’s misery before her so called family reputation.”

Emma softened at his words instantly. Hoseok could hear the defeat in his sister. “I’m trying all possible ways to get to his head Yoongi, I don’t care if I do it as a sister or a businesswoman or a third party. I just want him for once to understand that he has a family he should think about. Even if he is ruining our reputation or whatever, I want him to acknowledge the name as his, I want him to talk to our parents once.” She pushed Yoongi aside, grabbing Hoseok by the shoulders gently, forcing him to look at her. “Mom and dad are coming Hoseok. In a few days they’ll be here. Mom could bear you staying away from home and not talking to us and everything you’ve done so far. But if you stand before her and behave like she’s a stranger, it will break her on the inside. She will shatter Hobi and she’s my mother too, and I just want to ask you not to let that happen.”

She looked like she was nearly tearing up which made Hoseok jab himself with guilt. His sister was one of the strongest people he knew. He knew she looked after their father’s empire ever since he left. He knew she did everything she could for the family that he was supposed. He hated seeing her like that. Pulling her into a hug he gently stroked her head as she tightly held him around the waist.

“I’m sorry Emma. I’m so so sorry. I won’t make promises for things I can’t do. I can’t talk to her. I can’t let her believe she has her son again. It will only break her further.” With that he pulled away and turned, not even looking at his sister’s face because if he did, he might just have gotten weak and given in to what she asked of him.

But he should have turned. For if he did, he would have seen the fifth inhabitant of the floor who was pressed against the wall, hidden from them and had heard every word that transpired between the four others.

You leaned against the mirror of the lift as it slowly descended down.

Too many things happened today. Some which you knew, some which you didn’t. And whatever you didn’t, you were going to find out from Jungkook today no matter what. When you heard everyone was back from the station, you had urgently left to meet Jungkook by the poolside as he messaged, but just as you turned into the corridor towards the lift, you saw Hoseok along with Yoongi, Namjoon and Emma step out. You knew you had to see him sooner or later but you didn’t expect yourself to him so soon after everything happened. You didn’t know what to say to him or what to expect him to say. You were too unprepared for this.

Thinking fast you hid behind the wall at the side, blocking yourself from their view, hoping they would just walk past without noticing you and then you would leave like you initially planned to. But to your surprise, they all stood right outside the lift, talking.

Or pleading. You had no idea which. It was only when you were grudgingly over hearing their conversation that you realized how little you knew about Hoseok. You had no idea he left behind his family like that when he left. You didn’t know he walked away from his inheritance. You always thought that the simplicity in Hoseok’s dressing was his style, you never knew it was probably because he didn’t have money enough to dress like the rest of you did.

And more importantly you didn’t know what Hoseok had done in the past which led him to be in a situation similar to today. But you were done being in the dark. Whatever it was, you were going to find out today.

Stepping out as the lift doors opened you walked out of the glass doors into the open towards the pool. Jungkook was already waiting there, standing by the railing, tapping away on his phone. Hearing the sound of you footsteps he looked up and sighed like he was preparing himself for a long conversation. Even he knew what you were here for.

“Why did you say poolside?” You stood next to him, leaning against the tables. “I was going to come to your room.”

“Namjoon messed up under the weight of too many things on him.” Jungkook tucked the phone in his pocket. “He accidentally booked the same room for me and Yoongi and there are no other free rooms, so we share it for now.”

“Oh.” You knew Jungkook really well. He was a little shy and wasn’t always comfortable with company of people he wasn’t so close to. Of course he was good friends with Yoongi but perhaps not close enough to share the same space with him. “Are you okay with it? or do you want to move to mine? It’s too big anyways I-”

“Its okay.” Jungkook brushed off your concern simply. “ I don’t mind him. Besides, I don’t want people talking.” He pointed at the both of you. “You and I. We are not a thing. I don’t want anyone to think that either.”

You frowned at him because you had no idea where this was coming from. People always talked about you two, there were always rumors that went around, but neither you nor Jungkook ever bothered about them. You loved him yes and you knew he loved you too, enough to take a bullet for you and kill the one shooting it as well, but you both never thought about how others saw the love between you two.

Something was happening with Jungkook, not just you, and like you, he was hiding it too. “Yeah” You nodded too fast. “You..uh...you have a point.”

Jungkook stared at you before nodding, coming back to his senses, looking away. “And uh Yoongi would go back to the room too so I said let’s meet at the pool.”

“He won’t come soon anyways.” You recollect him rushing behind Hoseok as the latter walked away. “He’s with Hoseok. Probably in his room.”

“You saw them.” With him looking away from you you didn’t know if it was a statement or a question. But you answered nevertheless.

“Briefly yeah..”

“And?”

“And what?”

“What did he say?” Jungkook turned to you as you stammered for no reason.

“Nothing. I...I kind of hid..”

“You hid?”

“I just didn’t want to bother him with a conversation...I mean he must’ve been tired so I didn’t want to burden him.”

“Are you sure that’s it? That there’s nothing you’re not telling me.” But there are things you are not telling me as well Jungkook. You shook your head full of certainty.

“No. No there’s nothing else.” Two were playing the hiding game now. Both of you were hiding things from each other but for what reasons you weren’t sure. You knew one thing for sure though. Jungkook was hiding way more things that he knew than you were. And you wanted to strike a balance.

“Though I’ve been thinking about something I heard.”

“What?” Jungkook frowned.

“I never knew...Hoseok....he walked away from his inheritance.”

Jungkook nodded slowly, thoughtfully. “When he ran away he literally left everything behind. Even his name, his money, every relation, everything. I heard about it from Jin briefly after we all reunited. I wasn't so shocked though, I knew someone else who wanted to do the same.” Jungkook looked at you pointedly. “At a mere age of 14 that too.”

“You know why.” You looked away eyes unable to meet his. “You know why I wanted to....”

Jungkook watched you thinking hard about something. “You don’t....You don’t feel like you are similar to him to him, do you?”

“We...” You searched for the right words. “We seem to share the same things. A similar kind of pain, a similar past-”

"Yours is nothing close to his.” Jungkook’s voice was curt.

“What was his?” This was why you were here. You really wanted to know this. You really badly did. “What was his past Jungkook? Why did he run away? Why does he still do that? What could he have done because of which you keep pulling me away from even knowing-”

“What about you?”

You frowned confused. “What about me?”

“You talk about someone else running while you’re doing the same. You’re here, in Sydney. You have a house up for sale here Y/n for the last 10 years. Aren’t you going to do anything about it? So many buyers have left, tired of waiting for you to come seal the deal and finish it. You don’t seem to want to go there-”

You turned away in denial “It’s not like that.”

“But it is like that Y/n. Ever since your parents died, you haven’t stepped into that house.”

“I have too many memories in that place Jungkook. Too many things I’m afraid to face there. You know this-”

“I know. I know but you won’t go there and all these years you didn’t let me go there to oversee the selling either.”

“I know I didn’t. But you know what - I wanted to.” You remembered every thought that went through your head when you landed in the city. “Before I came to Sydney I tried to convince myself a lot to become brave enough to go there but the moment I landed......I felt too weak for it Jungkook. I was going to tell you to do it instead of me but-”

“Then why didn’t you?” Jungkook held your hand softly. “Look Y/n I’m not asking you to walk in there. I’m not asking you to do something that difficult. But this house has been at the back of your mind for the last 10 years. I’m just asking you to let me help you let it go-”

“Run away from it.” You corrected him.

“What?”

“You want to help me run away from it.” You take your hand away from Jungkook’s hold and cross your arms. “Tell me why Jungkook. Why do you always step up before me to face things I am supposed to? Why do you always consider me to be not strong enough to handle my own issues?”

“I don’t think that Y/n. I don’t think you are weak-”

“Yes you do. You always think that protecting me is your responsibility Jungkook. You’re always willing to stand before me to take the bullets meant for me and you never let me shield myself.” Jungkook tried to interrupt you. “No, don’t deny it. Don’t say anything. You selling that house will give me five minutes of peace Jungkook. Five minutes of relief that there’s no burden of my parents on me anymore. But it will leave me with a lifelong regret. Regret that I could never face what they did to me and what I did to them and so like a coward I ran. I won’t run Jungkook. I won’t be that much of a coward.”

“Then why haven’t you done it so far? Why have you still not gone there Y/n?”

“I need time. I just need time to get myself together and do it. It’s years of wounds Jungkook. It’s not going to heal so fast or so easily.”

“That’s why asked you to let me help Y/n, because I know it’s not easy-”

“You know what’s harder?” Jungkook frowned as you began to blurt things you weren’t supposed to. “What’s harder is watching the wounds you have caused because of me every time you try to help me heal.”

Jungkook shook his head. “I don’t understand.”

“But that’s exactly the problem Jungkook. You don’t understand. You never understand and you never even try to. You’re so adamant about making my life better you don’t see how you have ruined yours.”

“There’s nothing like that-”

“When I came to middle school in Seoul after my parents death who protected me and distanced himself from everyone else just because he needed to be with an antisocial person such as myself?”

“I didn’t distance myself Y/n, you know I never really preferred the company of the Bangtan squad anyway.”

“Oh really? Then why didn’t you change schools after middle school was over? Why did you stay with the same people whose company you didn’t prefer through high school as well?” Jungkook looks away as you stand before him. “You know the answer. You know it’s just because I stayed in the same school.”

“I....it’s not-”

“When my grandmother died, and I moved from Seoul to London to live with Mia’s family, why did you follow me? When I applied to an architecture course, despite wanting to be an artist, why did you apply for architecture too? When I got a job in Oakland and decided to shift from London, why did you follow?”

Jungkook kept utterly silent.

“I’ll tell you why Jeon Jungkook. It’s because you think you are responsible for protecting me because of a simple promise you made to my grandmother. You threw your whole life aside for me and you still tell me that you haven’t ruined your life because of it?”

“I didn’t. I didn’t ruin my life. Art and architecture are not very different Y/n and you know I always wanted to study in London. And I -”

“So you won’t agree, will you?”

“No.” Jungkook crossed his arms adamantly, just like he always did. “Because I don’t think what you’re saying is right.”

“Fine.” You were done trying to imply things to him. He needed to see the facts. Hard and straight. “Then try to remember. Along with you, there was another person who did the same. Another person who had no other friends, another person who followed us to London, another person who threw aside her dreams. Do you even remember her Jungkook?” Jungkook uncrossed his arms, letting them defeatedly fall to his sides. “Do you ever think about Kate Jungkook?”

“What....what about her?”

“About why she followed us where ever we went and did whatever we did? Yes she was my best friend and she cared for me but do you know what the real reason was Jungkook?”

Jungkook shook his head, blur as ever.

“Of course you don’t. Of course you don’t because you think there’s no one else on the planet other than me. She followed because of you Jungkook. Because she cared about you.”

“Me? Why?”

“Why?” You repeat his words finding them ridiculous. “Ask yourself why? Have you not seen the way she looks at you? Have you never felt what she feels for you? Have you never thought about her Jungkook?”

“I didn’t know...I didn’t think-”

“Exactly. You don’t think about anyone but me and Jungkook as blessed as a feel for having someone like you, I also feel burdened. Because I don’t know if you can see Jungkook but in the attempt to heal me you have made me wound two people - You and Kate.”

Jungkook looked so miserable at all you were saying that it hurt your heart. You walked up to him hugging him tight with your arms around his neck as you spoke into his ear. “I’ve tried telling you this so many times Jungkook. I’ve yelled, I’ve begged, I’ve pleaded but now I’m telling you the truth. If not for me at least for Kate’s sake, think about yourself before me. Stop trying to save me all the time and let me fight my own battles. Go out there and live your life the way you want and the way you should. I am and I always will be a part of your life Jungkook but I won’t be the only thing in your life. Make room for others, for your dreams, for anything else but me. If you really, truly want to see me heal, tend to these wounds first and half my worries will be gone.”

You pulled back to take one last look at Jungkook, before patting him gently across the arm and walking away. Jungkook watched you as you left, eyes following you though he was lost in thought.

You got into the lift letting out a huge sigh. What had you done? What in the world had you done? You betrayed your best friend for this. You betrayed your best friend Kate by letting out her deepest secret to the one man you wasn’t supposed to know it. You wanted Jungkook to let you go, to stop protecting you, to stop hiding things about Hoseok from you just because he thought he was too dangerous for you. You revealed the one thing you had hidden from Jungkook all these years in an attempt to dig into Hoseok’s past. You betrayed your best friend for an unknown man. You were the worst person on the planet for this.

Winter 2010

You watched as Kate walked away from the group huddled around the open campfire into the lodge and followed her. When you slowly opened the door she was sitting down on the soft rugs with her legs crossed, taking her small palm sized diary out of her dress pocket, getting ready to write something. She hadn’t noticed you tailing her or standing by the door, so you just silently stood at the entrance looking at her.

The soft light of the fireplace was illuminating her face as she tucked her hair behind her ear, clicking the pen pressing it against her chin. You always envied Kate for how beautiful she looked. Whenever you stood next to her in the washroom in school and saw your reflections in those large mirrors, you could see how different the two of you were - there was you with your silly braces and glasses and not-so-maintained skin and there was her with her perfect teeth and lovely hazel eyes and skin as fresh as dew. You always, always envied her for it.

But Kate never looked like she cared. She never cared about the looks boys gave her when she walked down the corridors. She never cared about the many anonymous roses in her locker. She never cared about the many love letters that were randomly left on her table every other morning. She only ever cared about one person and it was that night that you found out who.

“Mind if I come in?”

Kate looked up startled by your voice but smiled realizing it was you. “Oh Y/n, you scared me. Yeah come in.”

“What are you doing here?” You sat down across her, folding your legs, hugging them as you rested your chin on your knees. “They were just starting to play ‘would you rather’.”

“I was starting to get bored.” Kate smiled as she continued to write. “Besides the game isn’t interesting when the bottle points at me anymore. I always have to end up choosing between you and Jungkook and I don’t really like to.”

“Honestly, that is so true. Him and I are asked the same too.”

“I don’t know why they even bother asking him” Kate didn’t look up at you as she tore out a small piece of paper from her book before shutting it, tucking it in her pocket again. “He always chooses you anyways.”

You were too naive, too young then to understand the jealous undertones in her voice. “No, that’s not true. Not all the time.”

“Yes, all the time.” She continued to scribble something on the torn paper. “I’m not complaining. I merely just observed. He seems to have no place for anybody else.”

“He does for you.” You nodded earnestly. “You know he cares for you.”

It was only then that she looked up at you and smiled. And for the first time you noticed that even though she smiled it didn’t reach those pretty eyes. “I wish he did Y/n. I really wish he did.”

As the sound of the laughter of boys grew louder and closer outside, she hurriedly tore the paper in her hands into a neat half and threw them aside unbothered before standing up, ready to leave. As a half fluttered to you, you picked it up and looked at it, finally realizing what you should have seen years ago.

The syllable ‘Kook’.

“Kate.” You stood up as Kate turned her back to you ready to leave. “You...do you like him?”

She kept quiet so you walked around the table and stood before her, forcing her to look at you. “Kate, do you like him?”

“I think...I think I’m in love with him Y/n.” She looked at you through her glassy eyes. “So much that it....it hurts.”

“Why? Why should it-”

“Because can’t you see the way he is Y/n. I fear he won’t love me back. I fear he won’t ever love me back. And more than anything, I’m scared because I don’t think I can ever fall in love with anyone but him.”

“Kate no....no don’t say that.” You wiped her tears, holding her by the shoulders. “That crazy guy is so incredibly lucky to have someone like you in love with him. You should tell him Kate. He needs to know-”

“You won’t say a word to him Y/n!” Kate shook her head vigorously. “He can’t know.”

“But why? If he knows then he will show you the attention you deserve and-”

“That’s exactly what I don’t want Y/n.” Kate explained as you frowned at her confused. “I love him for who he is Y/n. I love him as he is. He has his own weird way of caring for people and being admirable. I see him in a way others or maybe even you don’t. I have my own reasons for being in love Y/n. Telling him now when I’m sure he feels nothing for me, I don’t want to force him into thinking about me and changing himself for it because I know he will. That’s why Y/n. You won’t tell him anything. Please.”

You nodded as Kate held your hands giving it a tight squeeze before letting it go and walking away into her room. As the rest of the class began to pour into the cabin you looked at the crumbled half of Jungkook’s name in your hand and tucked it safely in your pocket, promising yourself to safeguard your best friend’s secret all your life if that’s what she wanted.

But little did you know that in a little over six years after that day, you would break that very promise. All for one stranger, for one man.

All this for Jung Hoseok.

Yoongi followed Hoseok at a two feet distance as Hoseok made his way to the room. When Hoseok stopped walking in the middle of the corridor, tracks coming to a complete halt, so did Yoongi.

“What do you want Yoongi?” Hoseok didn’t even turn knowing very well despite Yoongi’s silent trail that his best friend was walking right behind him.

“I want to make sure you are okay.”

“I am okay Yoongi, thanks. You can go back now.”

Hoseok took a step forward and continued walking but Yoongi didn’t stop walking. He didn’t even stop walking when Hoseok suddenly turned to face him, exasperation written all over his face. “I said I’m okay.”

“You don’t look like it.”

Hoseok threw his arms in the air annoyed. “How am I supposed to look ‘okay’?”

“I don’t know.” Yoongi shurgged stupidly. “I just know you’re not.”

“You’re being unreasonable Yoongs.” Hoseok turned and started walking away again but Yoongi smiled. Yoongs. Hoseok just called him Yoongs. It had been years since he had heard Hoseok say that. He had missed this guy over the last six years so much.

“Hobi.” Yoongi ran a little, blocking Hoseoks path by spreading out his arms before the other man. “Say that again?”

“What?” Hoseok frowned feeling awkward.

“Yoongs...... I haven’t heard that in really long.”

Hoseok rolled his eyes, not annoyed but slightly fondly. “Now you’re just behaving like a clingy girl friend.”

“I wouldn’t know what that feels like because I haven’t had one.”

Hoseok crossed his arms. “What, have none of your girlfriends ever been clingy?”

“I haven’t had a girlfriend. Not since high school at least.”

Hoseok’s jaw dropped a little. Yoongi chuckled on the inside at how cute he looked. “You haven’t had a girl friend? Min Yoongi hasn’t had a girl friend in six years? What happened to your game man? How did you get so lame?”

Yoongi laughed putting his arm around Hoseok’s shoulder, walking towards the latter’s room along with him. “Let’s just say my game wasn’t so great after my best wing-man left.” A look of guilt flashed across Hoseok’s face which Yoongi caught on immediately. Laughing it out, he changed the topic. “Relax, I’m just kidding. I just....never had time I guess. Such a huge business empire all just on my scrawny shoulders. It took too much of my time and energy to handle it all, I never had time to date.”

Hoseok nodded. “You did well though Yoongi. Your scrawny shoulders did manage to carry that burden. I kept seeing you in all those magazines and websites all these years. You’ve done wonders to the business you took over.”

“I never knew you kept track.” Yoongi felt a warm feeling rush into his heart.

“Occasionally.” Hoseok brushed off Yoongi’s words and his arm from his shoulder but Yoongi knew his best friend. Hoseok had distanced himself from everyone but hadn’t distanced everyone from him. He still watched over them even though it was from really really far.

The two men continued to walk down the corridor in silence when Yoongi suddenly stopped causing Hoseok to turn back and look puzzled.

“Y/n and Jungkook are down there.” Yoongi pointed looking out of the corridor as Hoseok slowly, uncertainly walked back a little to look out along with him. Yoongi watched as Hoseok’s expression changed at the two people standing by the poolside argued or conversed he didn’t know which. Hoseok’s eyes followed the woman wherever she went, whatever she did. When Jungkook reached out to hold her hand though, Yoongi noticed Hoseok’s fist tightening, veins stark against his pale skin.

All this while Yoongi had only doubted something was on between the two of them but Hoseok’s change in expression confirmed it. When he met Hoseok in the lift for the first time after coming to Sydney, he had already noticed the tension and awkwardness between the two of them. When he saw the way Y/n defended Hoseok in front of the officer he knew it was not a normal reaction.

Even when they went to the police station earlier and reviewed the footage, Hoseok wasn’t really wandering around the hotel like he said, in fact he apparently spent the whole night at the floor’s large balcony which happened to have no cameras. What Hoseok did there was unclear but him walking to the balcony at around half past 11 at night and leaving only around 5 in the morning was recorded by the cctv’s in the corridor. Unless someone were suggesting something as ridiculous as him jumping off the balcony to leave the hotel, it was clear that Hoseok had nothing to do with the disappearance of that call girl.

When Namjoon asked Hoseok what he was doing there, the latter claimed he went for some fresh air and ended up sleeping in the chairs there. Though Yoongi knew that was a lie he kept quiet. He knew so because he had spent a large part of the morning after he landed at that very balcony waiting for Namjoon to wake up and sort out the mess regarding his room and he knew there were no chairs there. That meant Hoseok was there awake the whole night but doing what? Just looking out? It couldn’t have been a coincidence that the view from that balcony was the poolside and Y/n happened to be working by that very poolside that night as he had overheard her telling Jungkook while Hoseok was being questioned. The idea of Hoseok watching over a girl the whole night was way too romantic in Yoongi’s head and he disregarded the thought as soon as it came because he knew Hoseok wasn’t that kind of man.

But when he saw Hoseok immediately turn and walk away looking at Y/n hug Jungkook, it made him think that maybe. Just maybe Hoseok was watching her the whole night after all.

That maybe, he was a man capable of love.

Moon: Oh god...

So, as you might know, we have written some comeback theories in the past, mainly about HYYH pt.2 and the Peter Pan theory.

But most importantly, we wrote something called the Timeline Theory/ Multiple Universes Theory. (Some of the points we made in that post are still valid, so check it out!)

In these theories we talked about how the MVs can’t exist in the same universe and how ‘Run’ especially doesn’t really fit anywhere.

You could see this as the start of our theory. But after that we stopped talking about it much and even though we theorized about ‘Blood, Sweat & Tears’, we didn’t bother writing anything down.

But then BigHit dropped the MV for the Japanese version of ‘Blood, Sweat & Tears’ and I, for my part, got sucked in again.

Back then I formulated a theory and talked to Moon about it, but sadly we never wrote it down. We only talked about it via voice mail (which I am currently trying to find, unfortunately we text quite a lot.).

My theory was that Jin is traveling through time and different dimensions, trying to avoid a mistake he made. But because he keeps switching dimensions, reality starts to crumble. And it seems like that got confirmed in the last highlight reel.

(I am aware that others have already made the connection, and I’m not trying to sell this as my idea, but rather show evidence that further supports this theory)

So, first to the visual clues in the MV of the japanese version of ‘B,S&T’:

The MV is full of elements suggesting multiple dimensions and time travel.

We have members meeting with different versions of themselves

(Good that Yoongi covered his eyes, because as we know, you simply cannot meet yourself when you time travel)

Jimin getting sucked into the void

You can see Jin walking backwards from a crumbling ground and in the last second before the screen changes to Namjoon and his bruised hands, you can see two other Jins. (This is actually the scene that gave me the idea for the theory in the first place)

You can also see Jin in front of something that looks like some kind of wormhole (when I Iooked up the relevance of wormholes in science fiction I came across Donnie Darko and I think the two have a lot in common)

You also have a lot of instances of reality crumbling

The last one being the most important one. Jin is helplessly watching as reality shatters.

So in conclusion, this is the theory I formulated from this:

Jin is trying to save the boys by going through time and changing what he did, but can’t quite find the one mistake that set the events in motion. And rather than helping, he is unable to change the future in a way that everyone gets a happy ending. Furthermore, his interference with time and space leads to the multiple universes crumbling.

And one last thing I noticed in B,S & T:

The usual pairs throughout HYYH and following are Jimin and JHope, Namjoon and V, Jungkook and Suga, and Jin is alone,

but in B,S&T it’s Yoongi and Jimin, Namjoon and Kookie and less noticeably but still there, Hobi and V (and Jin is alone again of course)

But what’s interesting about that is that each member has his own circle, representing their struggles in the wings shorts, and two always come together to make the four circles on the cover. The circles that come together are Jimin’s and Yoongi’s, Namjoon’s and Jungkook’s and Hobi’s and Tae’s.

Jin’s symbol is a net interestingly enough (or crocodile leather, who knows). But in the logo his circle is empty.

A possible conclusion could be that ‘Blood, Sweat & Tears is a parallel dimension where some things about the boys are altered (aka the pairs they appear in), but other things stay the same (for example their struggles, Hobi and his mother, V feeling isolated, etc.).

Now onto why we feel this theory is supported/confirmed by the new Love Yourself Highlight Reel.

In the second reel we can see Jin getting ready for his date. He looks at the fallen flowers, decides to put on a suit and starts driving.

Then of course his date gets run over by a car and we get this really interesting shot of Jin’s face, that looks like he’s about to wake up from a dream.

Then he goes on to talk about how he wonders if you could be happy if you could turn back time and correct that one mistake and we get a montage of scenes from BS&T, HYYH, the Butterfly prologue, etc. all playing backwards.

And here’s where it gets interesting - we are in the same scene as before, before Jin goes on his date that would ultimately result in the girl getting killed.

But instead of letting the flowers fall he catches them.

Look how defeated Jin looks. Like he failed again (there are actually a lot of instances of Jin looking defeated at the camera/us throughout the MVs. More to that later.)

He puts on his cap that says “different but same”. Which he would be if he travelled back in time. And instead of going on his date, we can assume that he goes back to the sea.

We can also conclude from this, that his change of clothes represents him swapping timelines, “putting on” another Jin and trying to erase his mistake again.

And talking about the sea and this very iconic look, where have we seen that again?...Hmmmmm (I am aware that this shot looks more like the ones in the Butterfly Prologue/HYYH, but you know. Just an idea)

And maybe this is all coincidence but.... really now?

They even chose this as “Jin’s look”. But who knows.

The important thing is that it seems like Jin actually has the power to travel through time and it seems like he is trying to find that one mistake he made that caused everything to go to shit.

What we noticed in the other MVs that supports this theory further:

There is a huge play with perception and time in both HYYH and Wings era.

With time, there’s of course the disconnection of the order of the MVs and the story line.

The order they got released in was I NEED U, Butterfly Prologue, Run, The Wings Shortfilms and the Love Yourself Highlight Reels. But from what we can conclude from the note, the order should be Run, Butterfly, I NEED U/ Wings Shortfilms, and then the Love Yourself Highlight Reels.

(Although there are several scenes in the MVs that don’t fit with that timeline)

We know that they were really good friends (Run) and then went on that trip together (Butterfly). After the trip they didn’t have any contact and Kookie’s accident happened (I NEED U/Wings) and then they are trying to solve their problems on their own (Love Yourself).

Then we also have the graffiti in the background of one MV that says “The Butterfly is the Key” which would fit in nicely with the whole butterfly effect/ time travel theory. (I saw the picture back then and on some posts on tumblr, but I really can’t find it anymore. We will add it later if we can find it. I’m pretty sure it’s somewhere in the Japanese version of the Run MV)

Then there’s this weird disconnection between scenes (especially in Butterfly), where the MV starts with Tae washing away the blood of his father and calling Namjoon (which must have happened after the trip according to the note) and then the MV goes straight into the trip, which doesn’t make sense, since the trip is supposed to have happened before that.

And of course, there’s the weird coincidence that you can hear someone (Jimin?) ‘say help us, help’ when you play ‘Love is not over’ backwards. (Which we linked to time travel in our previous theory)

Now, for their play with reality.

There are many instances where the MVs play with our perception of things and reality.

We already talked about the Japanese version of BS&T and how we can see reality shatter a lot but there is more throughout the MVs.

There are actually a lot of scenes where we can see Jin looking really defeated into the distance/camera.

The ‘Run’ MV especially stood out for me in that regard. There are a lot of jumpy and weird transitions in scenes that left us questioning the connection between the scenes. For example in this scene, where Jin looks at Kookie, we see Kookie looking back and then we are suddenly in the tunnel.

Another example would be Jin’s pictures, where people suddenly vanish, like in Butterfly.

Another big motive is water. We can see a lot of scenes where the boys are submerged in water and are looking directly at us, there’s the scene of V jumping into the water and Jin is also often depicted being close to water (for example Wings).

Water is one of the most common motives in literature and it usually stands for purity, the passage of time, reflection or clarity/reality.

And mirrors

And the last thing we noticed is the house of cards Jin builds in ‘Run’ which I got reminded of when I listened to Jin’s narration in Love Yourself (where he talked about his glittering world collapsing, revealing his deception. His deception being that he can’t save everyone).

So, summarizing all that, all the MV’s show a certain degree of chaos/ dysphoria, supporting our theory that the dimensions are reacting negatively to Jin jumping in time.

And now something we haven’t talked about yet.

We have talked about how Jin has an omnipresent role in the storyline of the MVs and that explains why he is often isolated from the boys, be it in pictures or in the MVs.

But there are also a lot of instances of the other boys becoming aware of what is happening around them and reacting out of character.

There’s the scene in Butterfly where Namjoon writes in the mirror that they all need to survive.

Or there are a lot of scenes where the boys make eye contact with us, the viewers.

Other weird behaviors include Tae destroying Jin’s house of cards, Suga covering Jimin’s eyes so he can’t look at himself, like he knows what’s going on, and others. We won’t elaborate more on this, because this post is already long as fuck, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

EDIT - this is an addition to the theory. Someone asked us about the girls in the highlight reels, so here is what Krümmel thinks:

I have seen a lot of theories, for example that the girls represent the other half of the pairs (so Kookie’s girl represents Yoongi and vice versa), or that they represent parts of themselves.

I personally think the latter one is the most plausible. I think that the girls represent the boys’ wishes, needs and also fears. Mainly their wish for companionship and their fear of being alone with their problems. And that they have to let them go to learn how to love themselves.

Tae’s girl represents his wish of being rescued and having someone by his side who takes care of him and who can see through his tough facade, since he saved the girl from possibly being caught by the shop owner, even though she looked like she didn’t want to be saved. He’s afraid of confronting his past and only starts to heal when he leaves the girl and faces the police on his own.

Joon’s girl would symbolize his need of looking over others and his wish to forget what he did to Tae. I think he feels like he failed Tae and is now trying to redeem himself by looking over the girl. He’s afraid of facing the damage he’s done, but he can only help Tae once he faced his guilt on his own, that’s why he didn’t pursue the girl anymore and left without talking to her.

Kookie’s girl represents his want for someone to stay by his side and help him forget about the trauma of the accident and his past, since Yoongi shut him out and the others weren’t there when he was in the hospital. There are theories that he lost his memories of the boys and I think that’s quite plausible. Maybe he wants to start a new life with the girl to avoid having to remember his past. But he can’t be happy without remembering, so he has to be alone first.

Yoongi’s girl represents his wish of someone sticking by his side, even though he tries to push them away. I think she also stands for his wish to be able to compose again. Yoongi has to overcome the feeling that he is the cause of his friend’s misery and allow himself to be with the people that mean a lot to him for him to be able to play the piano again.

Now, Jimin and Hobi are a little more difficult. Both of them are looking for someone to save them. Jimin thinks Hobi will save him and Hobi wishes for a motherly figure to rescue him. I think that’s the reason Jimin has no girl. Hobi is “his girl” and that’s also why he is envious of Hobi’s girl.

Hobi still wants to believe that his mother cared for him, even though she left him, but he has to let go of that to be able to heal. He has to face his trauma to realize that there are other people that really care for him.

With Jimin it’s similar. Even though we don’t actually know a whole lot about him. We know that he was in the same clinic as Hobi, so we can deduce that he is also mentally ill. But other than that, we only know that he is fixated on Hobi and that he is lying to himself about something.

My theory is that he cares a lot about Hobi and is envious/resentful of Hobi’s girl (which represents Hobi’s wish to be cared for) because Hobi doesn’t see how much Jimin cares for him already. There are also indicators that Jimin is in love with Hobi and lies about his feelings because of society and negative stigmas, but I’m not sure how much we can read into those signs.

But anyway, Jimin has to stop lying to himself before he can be with Hobi and the others.

And now onto Jin. I feel like Jin’s girl represents his wish for a peaceful and happy life. If our theory is correct and he has watched his friends suffer for a long time, this idea would become even more plausible. He thinks he can just become better and have a good life but he sees that that can’t just happen when the girl gets run over. His dream of just fixing everything by just becoming a better person, quite literally, gets run over.

He has to learn that he can’t change fate or people and that the best way to a happy ending is caring for his friends. And that he can’t blame himself for what happens to the boys.

So yeah, that’s what I think of the girls.

This got a lot longer than I thought it would, I hope you don’t mind that. Also, keep in mind that this theory also has weak spots. For example the scene where both Jimin and Hobi’s girl have an accident. That wouldn’t really make sense if the girls are just a representation of the boys’ feeling or wishes.

I’d like to hear what you guys think about all this, so feel free to message us!

Final Words

I hope you enjoyed our little theory! We might elaborate on some points in the future, but I hope this is enough for now. Like I said, feel free to ask us if you have any ideas!

COMPLICATED {part 6 of EXPIRED}

After the second part, your father left with work to do and you sighed, looking at the guys.

How come you didn’t tell us that your dad was the president?! Tae asked enthusiastically and Jin shook his head.

Let’s go back to your room. Jin said and nudged Tae. She didn’t know. He whispered to the younger guy and Tae rolled his eyes.

You stood up and wandered back to your room. Opening the door, it looked like a tornado had gone through it.

They were not kidding when they said they were going to wake you up. Hobi tsked as he looked at all of the blankets on the floor. You laughed and shook your head.

I almost had a heart attack! You exclaimed and began making your bed. Tae walked up to you.

So you had no idea that your dad was the president?! He asked again and you let out a small chuckle.

No! I had no fucking idea. You told him. I thought he was dead. You what I remembered of my dad’s time limit. I thought he was extinct, expired. Sighing you sat down. It was such a strange feeling to be able to see him again, but there was uneasiness as you looked around. What about my mom? You asked and Namjoon stepped forward.

Do you know her time limit? He asked and you nodded.

I believe May 4th but it’s also about 10 years from now. You told him and he stood for a moment.

Well we usually wait until the day of the time limit. He responded and you shook your head.

But you heard my dad. There is a world order that claims I’m a criminal and so is my father. They are probably looking at my mom for answers. I remember the police scouting out our house for WEEKS. What if they bump up her time limit because they think she has information or that she helped us?! You asked, your mind was in a frenzy and Namjoon came over, rubbing your back like he had yesterday in the car.

Shhh, it’s going to be okay. Yoongi hyung, can you make a note of that? He asked over his shoulder as he continued to rub circles into your back. Yoongi nodded and pulled out his cell phone.

You have phones? You asked. You hadn’t seen any of them using any form of electronics, except for the video games that were horribly outdated, since you had gotten here and just thought that due to privacy purposes they couldn’t use technology.

Of course we do. Jungkook spoke up, he pulled out his own phone and waved it a little.

We formulated our own grid, it’s almost impenetrable to hack into from an outside source. You won’t be able to get your own device until you are either fully initiated or shown that you can become a finder. Yoongi explained, which just caused you to scrunch your face.

Fully initiated? I’m not already? And what the hell is a finder? Your mind was full of so many questions but those were the ones that popped into your head first.

To become fully initiated you had to go through a 10 step process, you’re only through step 2. Namjoon started. And a finder, they are sent out to retrieve newly expired people. We are trained to get your things, obviously get you, and have you get into the Society with the least amount of questions asked and slip ups. He continued.

So you’re trained extensively, yet you forgot to pick up my underwear? You asked with a laugh and Jungkook turned red.

I’M SORRY! I just … it was your panties. He said quietly and Jimin giggled.

Paaaantiiiies? Jimin mocked Jungkook, who went to punch Jimin, but instead hit Jin. The look of horror on Jungkook’s face as Jin glared at him, made you giggle. Namjoon looked at you and smiled.

Watch this. YA! Hyung, I heard Jungkook was the one that hid your chopsticks! Namjoon said and Jin’s mouth fell into a scowl.

You ungrateful little … Jin trailed off and began chasing Jungkook out of the room and you couldn’t contain your laughter.

Eh, it’s good to see you laughing. Namjoon said as you sat next to him.

Well weirdly enough, I feel comfortable with you guys. You murmured. Namjoon nodded and stopped rubbing your back, but didn’t take his hand away. Usually you would shrug someone’s hand off of you, but with him, it just seemed comforting. The two of you sat there as Jimin and Tae fought over a video game, Yoongi was typing something with a scowl on his phone, and Hobi was opening the door to the balcony.

What’s going on over there? Hobi asked and you stood up, Namjoon following close behind as the two of you made your way to the balcony. You hadn’t gone out there often, but it looked like people were congregating on the grounds.

They are looking over here. Namjoon said as he looked down at the crowd.

Rumor is out that President’s daughter has been rescued. Yoongi said in an unenthusiastic voice as he continued to scroll through his phone. We are going to need to move Y/N before Matthew starts popping his head in here. He sighed. Namjoon scoffed.

That prick needs to get a life. He muttered under his breath and you looked at Namjoon.

Okay, you need to explain. You said and Namjoon looked at you with uncertainty.

It’s not something you need to bother yourself with. He responded and you crossed your arms.

Then I’m not moving rooms. You replied and Namjoon glared.

You will do as I say. He commanded and you rolled your eyes.

I could just go back home. You retorted and Namjoon’s eyes went wide.

You cannot go back home! They’ll kill you! He exclaimed and Yoongi looked at Namjoon.

When have you ever given a fuck if someone wants to get killed? He asked and Namjoon looked at Yoongi, opening and closing his mouth.

Well what if she says something about the Society? He asked to Yoongi and Hobi rolled his eyes.

Remember the last girl that was here? She was through part 7 of initiation and when she left the compound you were happy. You even offered to drive her to the government camps! Hobi scoffed and Namjoon threw his hands up in the air.

She’s the president’s daughter! He exclaimed and Yoongi laughed.

President has even said she is not to be treated any differently. Yoongi replied and Namjoon continued to stammer.

FINE! I’ll tell you about Matthew, but really it’s not a big deal. Namjoon said and you squinted your eyes.

Why does he care so much if I leave? You thought to yourself, before pulling Namjoon over to the table. Alright, tell me everything! You told the tall man, who begrudgingly sat down in front of you.

Matthew is a finder as well, he leads group 2. Namjoon started and you held up your hand.

What group are you guys? You asked and Namjoon sighed.

Really? He asked. Do you even have to ask? He continued and you laughed.

I’m going to say group 3 because you left my underwear. You said and Hobi laughed.

We are technically the top of the class. Group 1 for the WIN! Hobi exclaimed and you laughed.

So Matthew is jealous? You asked as you shrugged. Pretty easy, he’s going to try and schmooze me to piss you off. You said flatly and Namjoon rolled his eyes.

It’s more than just that. He murmured. Matthew and I are both under your dad’s wing. So he will try to schmooze you, but he will also try to woo you. Namjoon raised his eyebrows.

Why? You asked with a bit of disgust.

Because Matthew is an asshole! Tae screamed as he continued to play video games.

Well that, and also President wants to retire soon. I’m sure Matthew is looking at you thinking that if he can woo you … Namjoon started and you sighed.

If he can woo me than he can become the president. You mumbled. Is that why you’re being so nice to me? You asked and Namjoon looked around.

I’m not allowed to be nice?! He asked and Yoongi chuckled.

Although I would love to watch you two bicker all day, Namjoon, we have to make arrangements for Y/N to move. People can’t be bothering her when she should be prepping for initiation. Yoongi said and Namjoon nodded.

Alright. Y/N, I’ll be back in a couple hours. The guys will stay with you. He gestured to Tae, Jimin, and Hobi as he and Yoongi left. You watched him leave and shook your head.

What’s going on in that pretty little head of yours? Jimin asked as he sat down next to you at the table.

My father is alive. He is also the president of the Society. My mother is still out in the world and probably has the government blaming her for my disappearance. I’m tired and haven’t had any food. Matthew sounds like an asshole. And I don’t understand Namjoon. You spouted off as Jimin sat there with a wide eyed look on his face.

Okay, well I can’t help with a lot of that, but I can tell you that Namjoon isn’t trying to schmooze you to get to your father. He’s being nice to you because you’re a lot alike. Jimin said simply and you laughed.

I’m like HIM?! You asked as you started to laugh at the outlandishness of the statement, you saw the look of seriousness on Jimin’s face.

I don’t want to tell you his background story, you’ll have to ask him about that. Jimin murmured and stood back up leaving you to sit with your thoughts.

Taking a deep breath, you tried to calm your throbbing head. You felt as though you were plopped into the middle of a story without any context, there were so many things that needed explanation, but you didn’t have time. Placing your head in your hands, the only thing that seemed to ring true was: Life is fucking complicated.

Gyve (2)

| 1 | Chapter 2 | 3 | 4 | 4.5 | 5 |

Member - Hoseok x reader

Genre - Drama, Angst, Sexual references?

Word count - 5.5K

Summary - On the occasion of your best friends wedding and high school reunion, you happened to meet once again, one of the richest heirs of the country, famous fuckboy Jung Hoseok.

While the world saw him as a cocky arrogant person and you, as a confident, strong woman, only the two of you knew the scars that were hidden, and things you both were unable to fix.

Only the two of you could see right through each others facade.

But could you and Hoseok finally break the gyves holding you back? Or were you the ones who shackled each other in the first place?

[A/N] - forgive me for the errors oops. I shall edit it in about a weeks time.

Winter 2010

The teenagers scrambled about dragging their luggage from the carriages giving one another a hand, as the train let out a whistle, white smoke filling the air. The sun had just risen, peaking between the tiny gaps of the ceiling structures.

Hoseok jumped onto the platform swinging his backpack onto one of his shoulders, feeling the cold air around him. His friends had gotten off the moment the train stopped at their destination and were running around the platform excitedly. Hoseok simply laughed watching them, much more relaxed, just taking in his surroundings. Switzerland had been one of the few places he had been dying to see. Looking at the sign ‘Gimmelwald’ carved like an arc over the exit sign he mentally ticked this task off his bucket list.

But standing here could only made him recollect all the instances his family made plans for vacations, promising a good time only for his parents bail out because work was more important than family. Though he was here on a school trip with all of his classmates and most importantly his closest friends, he couldn’t help but wish Mia was here too. She was in a different school and a different country all together so obviously she couldn’t join him, but if only she was here, he could have pulled her leg around a little bit to distract his mind. Her presence was important for him not just because he had fun teasing her but because she was also the only person who understood him the way no one else could, the only one he shared all his dreams with. Hoseok couldn’t imagine opening up the way he did to his best friend to anyone else.

But he knew she would have barely survived here because the silly girl cannot stand the cold and he chuckled imagining her shivering furiously. She absolutely detested the idea of the skiing trip he was here for when he told her about it a few days back. He didn’t let her disinterest deter him and was determined to enjoy this trip to the fullest. A trip he didn’t know would change his life.

He was just about to walk towards the voices calling out to him, when he heard an “Oh!”, watching from the corner of his eye a somebody tripping on the gap between the train and the platform. Impulsively, he turned towards her, grabbing her by the waist a little too late and a little too clumsily as she knocked him over, sending the both of them to meet the platform with a thud. He groaned, as her weight shifted uncomfortably on top of him, making him grab her the wrist of her hand that had held onto his shoulders as they fell, with the arm that was not wrapped around her to stop her from moving and crushing him further. She looked at him wide eyed, blinking rapidly behind her glasses, her straight hair draped over her neck, as she opened her mouth to say something, the sunlight reflecting on the metal of her braces. Hoseok felt his eyes dart over features, taking in every detail he had only seen from far away all these years. Her sharp nose, those thin lips, the way her tongue licked them softly, her-

Two strong hands had grabbed her by her sides hoisting her up, breaking the little-too-long eye contact they shared, as she stood upright with the help of the brown haired boy.

“Hobi.” Jungkook offered his hand pulling him up as he gripped it and brushed the dust off his pants.

“Are you okay?” Jungkook turned to her as she nodded softly, pulling her jacket closer to her in the cold. “Thanks Bro”

Hoseok bumped the fist the other boy held out casually after which he led her away, his hand softly placed on her back. But just before they disappeared into the crowd, she turned looking over her shoulder at Hoseok, who did nothing but watch.

Winter 2016

Hoseok couldn’t believe he hadn’t recognized her.

Sure it had been 6 years and yes he had talked to her hardly a handful of times but how bad did his memory have to be to not recognize a girl who had been in his class for nearly all of middle school and high school. He couldn’t be blamed though. How was he to know that the woman he just met was the same shy girl who used to sit all the way in the front of the class, who never attended any parties or clubs, never tried to make conversations with anyone and was one of the only girls Hoseok had never tried his charms on. Of course she was pretty and of course he had noticed her. All a Hoseok needed to notice someone was for her to be a girl and she, was a specially interesting one. There were times as he saw her walk across the canteen when he couldn’t help but think how fun it would be to spoil someone as innocent as her. The kind of things he could introduce her to and teach her were countless and the mere thought used to excite him.

But every time he looked at her he looked away because of that muscle pig Jeon Jungkook, who never left her alone. Thank god boys and girls had different washrooms. It was the one place perhaps she could get rid of him. But she never seemed to mind his company and in fact, it almost looked like she felt safer with his overprotective nature. Hoseok could understand why Jungkook was so careful about her, literally glaring at anyone who as much as looked at her for more than a minute accidentally. He felt responsible for protecting her. As far as Hoseok had heard, she had shifted from overseas after grade 8 and as childhood friends, the only people she had ever known were Kate and Jungkook. Being thrown into such the foreign environment of a new country overnight must have been hard on her.

So Hoseok had maintained his distance because one, he didn’t want to get beaten up by her best friend and two, there was something beautiful about her simplicity that Hoseok liked watching from time to time, ignoring everything about his messed up world. He had often just stared at her as she scribbled away also those exhaustive literature notes, adjusting her glasses on the bridge of her nose, tucking her hair behind her ear. It was so hard to believe that that meek girl was the one who had just played along with him so confidently.

Hoseok walked up to Jin who called out for him for the group photo as he looked at her talking to Mia who seemed much happier with her presence. The relationship Hoseok had shared with Mia was much like Jungkook and Y/N’s but he had been so incredibly unfair to her last few years when he left, depriving her of one her best friends when she needed him the most. He felt happy to see that she found solace in Y/N in his absence but it only increased his guilt. Even though he left unannounced 6 years back and turned up unannounced few months ago, she forgave him so simply, hugging him for eternity just rubbing his back. “It’s okay you are back and you are fine and that’s all that matters.”

Jin threw an arm around Hoseok whose eyes were trained on the Y/N and the way she laughed, the strands leaving her updo falling down to her spotless neck that Hoseok so badly wanted to mark.

“Do you want me to guess what you are thinking about?”

“No thanks.”

“How nice.”

“You probably won’t have something nice to say.”

“Is this how poorly you think about me Hobi?” Jin sighed sadly making Hoseok roll his eyes. There were other things he wanted to talk about.

“You know I didn’t realize till 5 minutes ago that she was the Y/n of our class She seems so…”

“Different?” Hoseok nodded. “I know. I was equally shocked when I met her 3 years ago.”

“At least you recognized her.”

Jin looked at Hoseok sheepishly. “No. Mia introduced me to her a few weeks after we started..uh…dating. I only knew her as Mia’s cousin till one day while we were hanging out Jungkook came along and then I realized who she was. She knew who I was all along but she kept quiet thinking I wouldn’t remember her anyway.”

“Well she was right.”

“I barely even remember half the people here today Hobi, most of whom I have had conversations with countless number of times. And I don’t remember even talking to y/n ever. Besides she changed way too much to realize who she was. Not just by looks, her personality. She really is a great person to have a conversation with you know.”

“I know.” Hoseok smiled

“Namjoon remembered her though can you believe it?”

“With the sort of intelligence he has? Yeah.”

“And so did Jimin and Yoongi for some reason. I kind of felt guilty that I was the only one who didn’t. I would have had your company in this guilt had you not left us all.”

Hoseok stiffened. He hated this conversation. Jin knew it yet he kept bringing it up, trying to get him to talk about it. Hoseok looked at him. Please not today Jin. He understood.

“Point is, we became really close to her over the last 3 years and we did hang out a lot with her till she shifted to Oakland with Jungkook.”

“She still hangs out with him?” Hoseok felt a bitter taste in his mouth for some reason.

“Of course she does. But I don’t think it’s the, childhood-best-friend-who-deny-being-in-love type of relationship. They just……get each other well. In fact I think Kate is the one going after Jungkook. Like seriously I get the three of them are thick friends since they wore diapers but she just won’t stop talking about him. It’s kind of cute actually.”

“Ew.” Hoseok scrunched his nose. “Look at you. You haven’t even gotten married yet and you have already started to become so fluffy.”

Jin laughed making his famous window wiping sounds. “Can’t help it Hoseok. You’ll know when you will fall in love.”

“You know I won’t.”

“You will if you let yourself.”

Hoseok shut his eyes and let out a long breath. “I don’t want to talk about this Jin. Haven’t I made myself clear enough the last few months?”

“Yes you have but you need to talk it out Hobi. 6 years is not a short amount of time for someone to be so imprisoned by things that they-”

“Enough.” Hoseok’s voice went threateningly low as he removed Jin’s arm from around him and turned, walking away.

“Excuse me, sorry to disturb you but have you seen Hobi?”

Kate turned around to see an unknown girl. dressed in the kind of clothes whose presence or absence on her body would hardly make a difference, twirling her hair, blowing a pink bubblegum. She exchanged looks with the other three woman around her before replying,

“and why are you looking for him?”

The other woman scoffed, “do you know where he is or not?”

Emma narrowed her eyes, her mouth twisting in an unpleasant way, “No. We don’t.”

“never mind ill find him myself.” she tossed her hair and left rolling her eyes. Kate couldn’t help but feel a little disgust rise in her.

“I’m sure Hobi can manage to get better friends that that stuff.”

“Oh she isn’t a friend.” Mia took a sip of her drink. “Hobi knows better than to associate himself with such people.”

“She’s his arrangement for the night I see.” Emma shook her head. “I hoped he would at least control himself during these few weeks. Calling someone from outside, really?”

“Something upset him.” Mia clicked her glass with her nails, deep in thought. “The fact that he chose to call someone and not manage with the huge crowd of extremely good looking women we are entertaining here means he needs doesn’t want to spend time flattering someone, which of course means something is bothering him.”

Kate looked at her blinking. “i don’t know whether to be impressed that you know such details about him or creeped out that you know such intimate details about him.”

Emma and Mia laughed. “Hoseok is pretty easy to understand. You just need time and patience and you will know him better on your own. Problem is, he rarely sticks with a person till they get to know him better and so people tend to judge him too soon. He isn’t what he seems like.” Emma said watching Y/n’s face as she seemed lost in her thoughts.

“what are you thinking about y/n?”

“Her voice didn’t sound like the one on the phone call. That means two girls in less than 4 hours? If he is upset like you said, whatever happened must have been serious.”

The other three women looked at her confused as she shook her head. “It doesn’t matter guys. Point is just let him be, let him do what he wants. Everyone has their own way dealing with things that upset them, their own way of dealing with pain. If this is what makes Hoseok feel better then we are no one to judge him.”

Emma smiled at that. Women generally had two reactions to Hoseok’s nature. Either they avoided him because they were the true-love types, waiting for their married happily ever after, or they slept with him because they were the sleeping around types, looking at him as no more than a quick fuck like he looked at them. Never had she come across someone who didn’t arrive at any conclusions and tried to see beyond her brothers actions and into his intentions. She was liking y/n more and more as time passed.

Jin walked up to the DJ, borrowing a mike and tapped it, the loud noise resounding in the night.

“Testing..testing. Can you hear me? Okay good.” He took a deep breath and looked at everyone gathered around the pool.

“Hey everyone. I see you guys are done with dinner without drinks so I would like to first apologize that there is no alcohol today. I know a celebration means drinking for you guys but come on, no one wants to look wasted in my wedding album right?” A couple of people snickered around. “So as compensation, there is a cocktail party tomorrow with some of the craziest drinks and entertainment waiting for you, thanks to Namjoon, who I owe my life to.” He raised his glass at the purple haired man who smiled as the crowd cheered.

“And thank you all as well for coming for this reunion and most importantly our wedding. A wedding is more than just the union of two people. It’s a celebration that brings any and all relationships together and what better relationships can be revived than the ones in our childhood. I hope as we all grow and look back on this one month we have the happiest memories of our lives yeah?” The crowd screamed, raising their glasses and drowning the liquids down their throats.

“There was also something else I have been wanting to say. I know my wedding is the first of the 143 of us here and so I think it’s my responsibility to say this. We all are young, with a lot of life ahead of us. So many of you came to me and asked why I was getting married at such a young age. To be honest guys, its because I am not afraid. Someone told me this few years ago, we are not afraid of loving someone, we are afraid of not being loved back. Most of us grew up in a society where relationships are very superficial and toxic. But that shouldn’t make you afraid of relationships or commitments. Marriage is less about the vows you make and more about keeping them. I am lucky enough to find someone who I trust to keep them and the day you all do too, don’t hesitate to choose that person as the one you want to spend your life with with the fear that the relationship may not work. It will. Trust each other and it will. And just so you know I am saying this only so you all invite me to your weddings, I didn’t empty my wallet on all of you for no reason okay. I’m expecting good food and a seven star hotel from each one of you!” He joked sending everyone into loud laughters. Only Kate, Emma and Y/n could see that the only one not smiling was Mia.

As much as you enjoyed the party, you were glad to be away from all that noise. Over the years you had habituated yourself to such social gatherings but it still made you uncomfortable after a while. You stripped out of your dress and sat in the bath tub letting the warm water wash over you. The lavender’s smell from the bath bomb over took the smell of the air freshener in your room as you slid further in the water, closing your eyes letting your head rest back.

It was nearly half past 10 and sleep was so foreign to you. Sydney. Your once favorite city. The place you lived the first many years of your life till you escaped this hell to Seoul to live with your grandmother. The city was still fine but that house, that house in which you lived nearly like a prisoner only ever going out when your parents needed to show off their obedient daughter to their large social circles, you couldn’t bear to go back to that jail again. Mia knew you had a house here and even asked if you wanted to stay there which you flat out refused. Only Jungkook and Kate knew about your hatred for that place. You would have sold it if only you had the courage to go there and do all the formalities. Despite how much more braver you had become the last 6 years, this was a fear you could never conquer. Once Jungkook comes tomorrow you made up your mind to talk to him so he could over see the selling.

About 15 minutes later before your whole body became a prune you got out of the bathroom and covered yourself in a silky nightgown. As you put it on you couldn’t help but remember Hoseok asking you to find him if you didn’t get sleep. It was only now that you realised how stupid you were to even let yourself be flustered by that. All talk. That’s what he was. A man who would talk to get things done for him, a man for whom a relationship was confined to a bed, a man you should stay away from. You didn’t find his lifestyle triggering you in any way, neither did you find it displeasing. It just wasn’t your cup of tea and you were going to make it clear to him first thing you saw him next that as much as you respected his choices, you wanted him to keep his distance from you and respect your boundaries. Having flirty conversations was one thing and letting it affect you was another. You always had a weirdly soft spot for Hoseok, your childhood crush, and you couldn’t let that mingle with the way he was talking to you into thinking he meant something more. Today’s incidents made you understand one thing clearly. One could only ever get into Hoseok’s bed not into his head.

Standing by the balcony you looked down at the pool, the still light blue water inviting you. You gave into it, anyway not getting any sleep as you grabbed your room card, your laptop and your drawing book, walking out into the lift and went 5 stories down. If only you hadn’t taken a bath, it would have been nice to take a late night swim in the cold waters. You walked to the pool, carefully gripping the things in your hand and ran your foot lightly against the still surface, creating ripples, enjoying the sensation. It was funny how one touch could disturb the entire surface of water. People were like that too. People could affect you in ways you can never imagine.

You sat by the poolside on the table looking at the sky as you opened your laptop. Countless stars are always better than city lights - If only you could see them. Checking your mail, you cursed your boss for the extra work he dumped on you during vacation. The new building designs had to be changed again, after all that was the never ending work of an architect. You flipped open your drawing book in irritation nearly knocking over the vase of forget-me-not flowers on the table, revealing an object that it was placed among the flowers..

A wallet.

Reaching for it, you pulled it towards yourself when something else that seemed almost silvery fell out of it. A square foil packet that was nothing you hadn’t seen before, yet made you flushed a little bit. The sound of the trashcan tumbling caused you to turn suddenly to see about 100 meters away from you, Hoseok who had just gotten off the lift walked right into the dustbin in his urgency. Why was he out so late at night? Could this…? You quickly opened the wallet and the first thing your eyes fell on was the driving license and the name Jung Hoseok.

You looked at the packet in your hand, remembering all the times he caused you to be embarrassed and quickly pushed the packet under your laptop, before placing the wallet where it was and looked through your building designs like nothing happened. Hardly few seconds passed when you heard his footsteps as Hoseok walked up to the tables next to you, checking each of the vases for his wallet. You stifled a laugh trying to imagine his reaction as he walked up to your table and finally found it. Grabbing his wallet, he shot you an embarrassed smile and said something that sounded like a hello and began walking away.

3…..2….1...and the sound of his footsteps suddenly stopped. He must’ve noticed.

And suddenly he was next to you again, his eyes wandering all over the table and below it intensely searching for what was missing from his wallet. It must have been what he came here for and you just couldn’t waste the opportunity.

“Are you looking for something?” neutral expression? check. Slightly concerned voice? check. Acting? on point.

“Yeah um a friend.” he wouldn’t even make eye contact.

“Under the table?” it took a lot to stop yourself from laughing at his embarrassed face.

“Yeah i mean, he is small…” his voice slowly trailing off. “I’m going to go look the other side.” You nodded as he left walking from behind you trying to hide the obvious tent in this pant making you lift your book to your face level to cover your laughter at his desperation. He walked back to you squinting in your direction. Shit did he see you laugh?

“What are you doing?” He asked cocking his head to the side.

“reading….” you said slowly looking everywhere but his face.

“Upside down?” The inner you smacked her head on the inside.

“I was looking at the design um from different angles.” His suspicion didn’t go. “I could help you look for this friend if you can tell me more about him or her or it or whatever.”

He shook his head grimly. “I’ll manage its okay.” And he turned to walk away. What a stubborn guy. Can’t he just ask? It wasn’t like you had no idea.

“Out of curiosity, Is this friend of yours, um super protective and by chance, believes in the idea of small families?” You looked at him with your eyebrows up and little bit of a playful expression on your face, as he turned back to you . Hoseok caught your eye and then bit his lip to suppress the smile that lied between flustered and desperate from forming on his face. He knew you figured out who or rather what this ‘friend’ of his was.

“Can I have it back?” He spoke through his gritted teeth not too rudely.

“What? Oh your friend? What’s his name again? Oh yeah! I think you said it started with C or something?”

Hoseok ran his hands through his hair and was now looking around, smiling too wide in his embarrassment.

“Charlie? Or was it Chang? Oh no I think it was Charmander~.” Hoseok burst out laughing now. He had clearly not been expecting this.

“Come on Y/n. I can’t believe you made me laugh in this situation. Don’t kill my mood anymore. Give it.” He held out his hand, the embarrassed smile not leaving his face. .

You clicked your tongue “Someone is forgetting to say please”

“Can I have it back? Please~?” You pitied him and the tightness in his pants that he was losing because of you and reached out for the foil under your laptop.

“Oh look I found your friend.”

Hoseok smoothly whisked it from your hands, muttered something you didn’t understand and began to walk away.

“Have fun!” You called out to him as he walked faster and faster away, and laughed getting a light feeling inside you that you hadn’t felt in this city for years.

Jungkook stood in the lobby of the hotel with Hoseok chatting away as he waited for his room key. He was talking to the other man but his eyes were scanning the hotel crowd looking for her. He had sent her a message when he landed and she had seen it. Was she okay? Being in Sydney after so many years after all that happened was she fine? Where was she? These were the only things going through his head. He felt bad for changing plans in the last minute, hence being unable to come with her. He could only imagine the thoughts in her head during the long flight. it must have been hard on her.

“Kookie!” A voice called out from far away as she walked towards him quickly, allowing him to breath a sigh of relief before she flung her arms around him and he held on to her tight. She seemed fine. It had only been two days since he hadn’t seen her yet he kept worrying so much. She only had him and Kate in this large world to call family. He couldn’t let her down in anyway. Hoseok cleared his throat obviously.

The two of them left each other as Hoseok handed Jungkook the keys. “you should freshen up. The cocktail party is at 7 so be there as early as you can because I don’t think Jin ordered enough drinks for the whole batch. That stuff is going to be over in a blink of an eye..” He smiled shaking his head. “Ill see you in the evening.”

Y/n suddenly held onto Jungkook’s arm her eyes glimmering with excitement as she looked at Hoseok who was walking away. “Come on! there are so~ many things I need to tell you.” And she dragged him away as Kate walked towards them with a wide smile wrapping Jungkook in her embrace.

You walked into the party that evening with Jungkook and Kate and couldn’t help but think how different the setup was compared to yesterday. The lights were more disco types and the clothes had gone from floor length to several indecent inches above the knee and everyone was dancing together ignoring the respectable distance they were maintaining yesterday.

Jungkook and Kate immediately hit the dance floor as you stood by the cocktail tables which replaced the round ones that you sat and worked on yesterday. Grabbing a drink from the waiter you took a sip letting the alcohol burn your throat pleasantly. Emma and Namjoon walked up to you to strike a conversation about the music and Emma whispered when Namjoon turned to talk to his other friends.

“Have you seen Hobi?”

“Nope why?”

“I need to pass on a message to him from his female companion last night.”

“What does she have to say?”

“She stormed out of his room today last night when I was going to mine, screaming something about not coming.”

You shook your head sadly. “Really? Is he that bad?”

“No idiot.” She smacked your arm laughing. “He didn’t come to the room it seems. She said he left halfway through and then didn’t return, making her wait for an hour. She asked me to tell him never to call her again”

You frowned deep in thought. He was hurrying away yesterday after you both talked. Where did he go if he didn’t go back to his room? You scanned the crowd finally spotting him standing alone one of the cocktail tables gulping his drink, his eyes scanning the crowd perhaps for his next target. You excused yourself from Emma and walked towards him, grabbing a drink on the way to replace his empty one.

“I must tell you, if your wallet is under this forget me not plant right now it will be a better option to keep it in your pocket. For future use” You said handing over the glass to him which he took chuckling softly as you looking at the vase to see his wallet there once more.

“No pockets” he gestured at his pant making you run your eyes along this legs thankful for the dim lighting that he couldn’t see you turn red.

“Then don’t bring your wallet down genius. Why would you keep it among these flowers anyway?”

“Logic.” He turned to face you. “Think of it this way. I’m in my room after the party, changing my clothes and the first thing I would think of or say out loud would be ‘oh I forgot my wallet’. Forgot my wallet.” He pointed at the plant. “Forget me not. Helps me relate that way especially when I’m drunk. That’s why Jin had these plants put all over in the first place.”

You laughed your shoulders shaking. “You are kidding”

“No I’m serious.” he nodded but smiling.

“That’s the silliest thing I have ever heard Hoseok.”

He looked at you, his tongue darting over his lips. “I like it.”

“But its silly, say there were like 50 forget me not plants how will you remember which of these it is-”

“No I meant I like you saying that.” You frowned not understanding. “My name.” He explained. “Most people call me Hobi all the time. It sounds nice when you say Hoseok. Do call me that more often.”

You stared at him not knowing what to say your mouth opening and closing like a fish. “I’m sorry.” is what you blurt out. “for yesterday.”

“Never mind that. I was starting to get bored anyway.” He took a sip looking away. “It’s good she left on her own.”

“So I guess you really were left hanging huh.” You smirked gulping down your own drink.

“You seem happy about it. Were you perhaps looking for the opportunity to hold onto something?” the glint in his eyes you saw yesterday was back.

“If I really were, I would look nowhere close to you, Hoseok.”

“You should then. I might have a lot to offer. I don’t know what you have heard about me Y/n but I might not be who you think I am.”

“So then who are you Jung Hoseok?” you leaned close to him, keeping your eyes on him, playing the very game you had decided against just yesterday.

“Who do you think i am?”

“As far as I have seen a casanova? or would you prefer playboy or fuckboy?”

Hoseok leaned back amused “I prefer ‘incredibly passionate man’.”

“And you are passionate about?”

“You name it” he crossed his arms confidentially.

“Making women want to walk straight into your bed?” You knew he wasn’t expecting you to be straightforward. So that’s exactly what you gave him.

“Well Y/n, the last time i checked, you are unmistakably a woman too. Do I make you want to walk into my bed?”

Shit. This wasn’t what you was going for. The usual smirk, how close he had leaned to you right now, everything was telling you that you were was losing this. You gave him a look of absolute indifference.

“If you noticed Hoseok, it seems the situation yesterday was the exact opposite. I think I made you” you jabbed him with your finger. “ walk right out of your very bed out here to me.”

“Point well made Y/n” he added “and you are someone who can pull that off again”

“Why”

“Because you make me curious about how long it will take.”

“How long what will take?”

Hoseok licked his lips, looking hard at you.“How long it will take for you to become one of those women”

You couldn’t tell if he was playing around anymore. Whatever was in his eyes was raw. He was either a really good actor or he really…..

He pulled out a tissue and scribbled a couple of digits on it, replacing it with his wallet in forget-me-not flower vase.

“For future use so you can let me know before hand. I have to go pokemon hunting to prepare myself.”

You leaned back confused. Well that was a sudden change of things. “Excuse me?”

“ I need to find a” he leaned in too close to whisper. “ charmander you see.”

And the two of you burst out laughing, letting the good mood and alcohol take over your bodies in the night that you knew promised so much more.
