Cryptic: Biggest Concern

Hi!!!

I haven't done a real post in so long TT I miss writing!! I vowed to do some properly this week but forces of the universe are at work to stop me (fever...forgot my hard disk...broke my laptop :')) But I finally got a few days of vacation! YAY! What better to do when sick and free, than to write about Jinkook eh?

So I'm doing a shorter (?) post on something I don't think I've seen many people commenting on. Of course, I could be chronically overthinking if I'm the only one that picked it up? haha. 🙂

JinJunMin~ Making Salad (3.13.2021)

Anyways, this instance is rather loosely connected to Jungkook 🧚🏼‍♀️

For context and relevancy: BTS were frequently doing unit Vlives after they were grounded since the start of 2020. They had less public activities so 'prescheduled' Vlives were an avenue for them to see fans, and for fans to see them. Sometimes the Vlives were fun because the members were absorbed into doing the activity of the day, other times it's fun when they find camaraderie in their shared reluctance to be there.

This salad making session demonstrated the latter - Jin already ate before the live, Minimoni were not salad fans so this trio by all means were just attending as part of their jobs. Happy to be there? That's asking too much lol.

For more specific context, the trio had been on the verge of an argument fallen into silence several times and were giving each other a hard time randomly jumping from topic to topic throughout the live.

When Jin was sarcastically hyping up the plate of chicken breast to the camera, RM abruptly decided to ask him how he had been doing.

The question seemed to stump Jin for a few moments,

Jin was stuttering, stalling, and racking his brain for something to say, then eventually landed on a work schedule as his answer. Then Jimin and Namjoon both chimed in about how they've been practicing for Grammys and actually saw each other the day before.

An assumption on my part, but Jin likely first thought about the section of his life that Namjoon didn't know about - off-work hours - and was filtering through for what he could talk about. I think gaming could have been a great answer. But Jin was caught off-guard, so I don't know if that affected his fibbing skills.

It could be something or could be nothing.

But the following in the middle of the live was quite the interesting convo:

The conversation had stopped and started a few times by now and Jin was filling in by talking about something salad related.

He brought up how some of the other members had salad recently.

Namjoon was paying close attention to what Jin was saying because he parroted him when he listed "Yoongi" and "Jungkookie"

RM: (nodding and repeating) "...Jungkookie."

And after a brief second of contemplation, Namjoon went ahead and asked, "Hyung, don't you have any concerns lately?"

Jin seemed to immediately know what he was referring to and answered, "For concerns, there's just the one thing."

Jimin seemed in the know about this as well.

Humming in agreement, nodding and suppressing a grin.

By now Jin had laid down his chopsticks. I think he knew what Joon was referring to. It was a pretty vague question, but it seemed like it had a pointed answer.

However since Jin didn't elaborate, Namjoon probed further.

If you've watched enough BTS interviews, you'd know the signs instantly whenever they all simultaneously think of something they can't say on camera and start smiling like weirdos.

Jin was still chewing but he was gearing up. He's about to say it.

As he went, "Of course," ...

that was met with instant censorship from Jimin ("Let's just stop, hyung").

I also noticed Namjoon's knowing expressions while he was waiting and listening:

Annnnnd of course, we don't get the real answer from Jin who said,

"I don't have Army in front of me during concerts."

Joon was laughing after hearing the line. Jimin also hadn't looked at the camera once since this conversation started.

And we know Jin just lied improvised a new answer because he retorted back at Joon,

There is another answer. There is another 'concern'.

He almost said it 🤌🏼 Just let it all go and say it Seokjin.. what's there to hide 😩

After Jin gave his answer, RM decided not to probe further since he knew the nature of that other answer. It can't be said anyway. So they agreed on 'armys not being there in person as a very important concern'.

And Jin of course turned the tables on Joon when he could

Ok, whatever this 'concern' was, it's very specific and I guess RM also had a similar ongoing issue that Jin knew about?

So to recap:

Jin mentioned Yoongi and Jungkook's names, Namjoon heard, repeated Jungkook's name and suddenly posed the question 'any recent concerns'.

Jin did have a major one which apparently everyone (but us) knew about. And it can't be said on camera. And the thought of it makes them giggle.

Lastly, RM seemed to have a similar concern.

So 🙂 I don't have an answer for what the mystery concern is, but I do have ideas. They are probably similar to your ideas right now. Or maybe we all have no idea.

But wouldn't it be funny if one of us was right ;)

Ultimately, if you want any take aways from this cryptic conversation, is that they tend to giggle a lot whenever they touch on topics related to ermhmm, taboo topics. It's not sad, dark or serious, but taboo. What else could it be.

Strawberries

Pairing: Post-Endgame!Nebula x Reader

Warning: A lot of flufffffffffffffffffff. I love Nebula ohmygoodness

Summary: It's post-Endgame, Nat and Tony are alive (The world of fanfiction, it's amazing, right?) everyone is exhausted so you, an early-bird is up all alone eating strawberries. But what you don't know is... Nebula happens to be awake too.

A/N: I finally wrote a Nebula x Reader fic!!! Oh gosh, I've loved her since seeing her first in the gotg series. I have a thing for cute villains gone good. 

———————————————————————

Your day started with an apple cider vinegar drink and a bowl of strawberries, sitting on one of Stark Industry's leather couches just basking in the warm sunlight that entered the Avengers common room.

Natasha had come back with Steve after he returned the soul stone, Tony miraculously survived the snap, you couldn't ask for anything else.

Everyone was passed out in their own beds from the exhaustion that was the final battle, that ended only the day before. 

You figured that everyone was going to be asleep for a while, so you took out the hidden stash of your favorite fruit, munching on them while reading a good book. As a superhero, you don't get to do this often. 

You took no notice when Nebula entered the room so quietly, that the sound of her walking seemed to be getting absorbed by the wooden flooring.

She couldn't sleep from all the horrible visions she kept seeing, even after telling herself again and again that her horrendous father was never coming back. She immediately found you on the couch eating a mysterious fruit she has never seen before. 

She took some time to drink in your appearance, taking advantage of the fact that you hadn't noticed her come in. Strands of your recently washed hair softly framed your face, the rest falling on your shoulder like a silk cape. She watched as your eyes moved sideways as you read further, your iris widening at parts you liked. The way the warm sunlight shone down on your bare legs, bent and placed together as you leaned on the couch armrest. 

She quickly recomposed herself when you shifted in your seat, snapping her out of her trance. She's never behaved like this, possibly because she never let herself feel until now. She felt a strong attraction to you, even though she assumed that you did not reciprocate her feelings. 

"Good morning, Y/N." 

You jumped in surprise, shocked that anyone would be awake at this hour. And because you didn't hear her come in. 

"Nebula. Hey." You chuckled, looking up at her. 

She stood behind the couch awkwardly, scanning the book you were reading. "I know this book." She stated simply, her facial expression still tense.

"But I do not know this fruit." You wanted to sigh in pleasure as she kept talking in her deep voice, but refrained from doing so. You were sure she didn't feel anything towards you. I mean, you did only meet her a few days ago. 

"They're called strawberries. They're my favorite. I keep them away from the others, but... come 'ere." You said cheekily, patting the seat next to yours. Nebula immediately complied, sitting down beside you in a flash.

You let out a quiet giggle at her behavior, Nebula admiring it like music to her ears. "I like your laugh." Without thinking, she blurted out. Her cheeks heated up in embarrassment, while yours did in flattery.

"Thanks.... I... want to hear yours too." Your eyebrows softened as you looked beside you, taking in her facial features. From her structured cheekbones and plump lips, all the way to the gold metallic plates she asked Tony to replace from the rusty parts Thanos gave her.  

She smiled in response, still feeling a little odd from it. You might have been the only person in the galaxy to succeed at making her smile.

"Oh yeah, the strawberries. You've got to try it." You suddenly perked up, picking up the white bowl from its place on the armrest onto your lap. 

She picked one up and tried to eat them from the stem part, making you go "Wait! No no, this side." You took the strawberry and held it in front of her mouth, while she took a bite. Her round eyes widened as she carefully munched on them, her smile growing bigger by the second. 

"Is it good?" You asked excitedly, and her response was a big nod with a gesture to give her more. Her smile shone brightly in your eyes, making your heartbeat stop for a second. The book you were reading was thrown somewhere in the room carelessly at this point.

"It's good. It's so good." The two's laughs filled the silent Avengers common room at 6:13 in the morning, and would make anyone listening swoon from the adorable romance growing between the two of you.

The trauma from all the fighting in your life seemed to fade away when she was around. All the tortures Nebula endured at the hands of Thanos became the past she couldn't care less about when she was with you. She could see herself building a future together with you. She had no idea what this sudden burst of emotion was but she guessed that it was because she stored them away for so long. 

Once it got quiet again, you couldn't really hold back now. Your hands went up to the blue skin of her cheek absentmindedly, your thumbs caressing her lower cheek. 

Her eyes instinctively closed as you leaned in, the tip of your nose coming in contact with hers. Her skin was warm and welcoming, and you used as much confidence you have to crash your lips on hers. She responded quickly, feeling how your lips molded into hers perfectly as if you and she were meant to be.

Bonus: 

"It might be a shock, but I am now with a Terran girl. She is amazing, Gamora. I apologize for saying you and Peter were disgusting and revolting." Nebula beamed at her, making Gamora's heart swell in happiness for her sister.

"All in the past. By the way, I've always known you preferred girls." Gamora smirked at her sister, reflecting on how much she has grown from that girl who couldn't get enough praise from her father to a person she was meant to be all along.
