BTS reaction: they tell the paparazzi they are dating you.

Request from anonymous: A BTS REACTION TO YOU BEING OUT ON A DATE AND THE PAPARAZZI SHOW UP SO YOU START TO DISTANCE YOURSELF BUT THEY DO SOMETHING LIKE HOLD YOUR HAND OR GET CLOSER OR ARM ON THE SHOULDER OR A KISS ON THE CHEEK AND THEYRE LIKE ITS TIME PEOPLE KNEW

Seokjin:

You two just really enjoyed each other’s company. There was no need to go on a fancy date since you could enjoy the most domestic things as if it was an amusement park. That said, you would usually do a lot of things together, but your personal favourite had always been grocery shopping. There was no particular reason behind it, it just made you happy. Seokjin wearing the most casual clothes he had at the back of his wardrobe, barefaced and with eyes just for you.

In the grocery store, you would always buy the essentials and then spend some time wandering around, joking, you trying to sneak some snacks inside the shopping cart and Seokjin finding out, followed by a playful scold from him.

You wouldn’t usually come across paparazzi since you made sure to go out really early in the morning and that made you feel safe from any non-wanted attention. 

Seokjin was in the middle of telling a bad pun about the vegetables when you noticed in the corner of your eye a dark figure moving rather quickly to hide behind some stall. It was a man with a camera. You turned around, your back now facing Seokjin and started walking away from him. He stopped laughing and followed you from a really short distance when he noticed you were trying to get away from him.

“Was my joke that bad?” He asked looking hurt. “’Cause it’s really early and my jokes start to get better by ten or eleven a.m.”

“Your puns are always cheesy, not bad,” you commented under your breath, “but there’s a paparazzi behind the stall and-”

Seokjin interrupted you mid-sentence and grabbed your shoulders softly. He leaned down so his face was at the same level of yours and kissed your forehead. His lips stayed there for more time than necessary and then he backed away. There was a soft smile on his face, which you returned.

“It was time for everyone to know how happy you make me. That also means goodbye to our early trips to the grocery store and hello to afternoon dates. How does that sound?”

Yoongi:

Something that you absolutely loved about Yoongi was how hardworking he was. The few times he had opened up about his feelings and past relationships, he mentioned how some people had felt neglected by the amount of time he spent in the studio. You weren’t one of them.

You made sure to show your support and to show you were always cheering for him, so you would visit him frequently and sometimes you would even drag him to get some food in his system. Yoongi would always say something like “my music is my food, but I could have something tasty now that you mention it...”

Today you convinced him to try the new smoothie shop right across the street. There was something about it. It looked bright and colourful, and the smoothies had sugar, Yoongi would need that if he planned on staying up until late as he did. 

The little twinkle of the bell greeted you as you walked into the store, dragging Yoongi inside by his hand. You were ready to leave with your drinks in hand when you noticed the big mass of people with cameras outside. You automatically turned around and acted as if you weren’t with Yoongi, looking for something inside your purse. He looked at you with knotted eyebrows while slurping his smoothie. He asked what was wrong.

“The paparazzi. Go back to the studio and I’ll meet you there in a few.”

Yoongi was having none of that. If you asked him, it was pretty annoying to be constantly hiding you. He was proud of the person he chose to be with and it made no sense to be covering that up.

“Let’s sit down,” he softly offered.

“What?”

He sneaked his finger under your chin and lifted your face a little. “Let’s sit down, right there on that table you told me it had a nice view and all that stuff.”

Your hand was wrapped by his in a second as he led you to said table. Once you two were in front of each other, he smiled and raised his eyebrows at your shocked face.

“This way, we have a nice view, and the paparazzi can take pictures of you; let the world know who makes me happy.”

Hoseok:

The mall wasn’t such a romantic date according to Hoseok. He insisted on taking you to a nice dinner and maybe a walk, but being honest? You just wanted to be with him. He always made everything enjoyable and special, so you didn’t really care about the place as long as he was there.

Hoseok made sure to wear his mask and sunglasses so your date wouldn’t get interrupted by anything. That was the main reason why you usually wouldn’t go out. He didn’t like the idea of you in the middle of the paparazzi or fans. The whole scenario was always crazy and hectic, he didn’t want you to stress because of it. Nevertheless, he figured it out that if he was careful enough and wore the right attire, no one would recognize him in the middle of the crowd. 

You were enjoying talking with him about nothing in particular, the way he would sneak his phone out of his pocket and snap a picture of you and how you two just entered to random stores and looked for the ugliest outfits to try them on and laugh about how silly you looked.

But while you were sharing an ice cream, a hint of light called your attention. There was a man with his camera aiming to Hoseok. Quick enough, you hid behind a couple that was passing by, but Hoseok’s grip made you stop your tracks.

“Where are you going?” He asked with a worried face.

“There’s a paparazzi right there and I-”

His eyes temporarily travelled to the man standing just meters away from you, but then returned to yours. He then pulled up the ice cream cone to your nose, staining it, and kissed the dirty zone with a smug smile.

“Let’s enjoy our date, huh? With that photo, the man has what he needs and we don’t have to be hiding anymore.”

You were so surprised that Hoseok had to call your name a few times for you to follow him since he had already grabbed your bags and was walking away to continue the day.

Namjoon:

He had always wanted to take you on a traditional date. His life as an idol wouldn’t let him take you out to a nice dinner or to the movies and that’s something he yearned for since he debuted. 

An aquarium seemed like a good idea. It was dark, romantic and you certainly had a good time together. You took some photos with the tanks lighted up by the neon lights and enjoyed food while watching what the place had to offer.

At the end of the aquarium, there was a small gift shop that you were dying to visit, so he followed you. While checking the price of the sea turtle plushies, Namjoon heard a little snap behind the glass door of the shop. He didn’t really give it a lot of thought but then there was too much noise outside to ignore it. He turned around and observed the paparazzi practically compressed against the glass, trying to get photos of him. His eyes looked for you, because he knows how intense it can get if a lot of people notice him, but you weren’t by his side. He returned the plushie back on the shelf and turned around to find you trying to hide behind the postcards. 

“What are you doing there?” He asked, still from his spot.

“I- so they won’t see me. Let’s meet at the coffee shop that’s next to the dorms? You can go first, I’ll go in a minute.”

“Absolutely not,” he grumbled as he walked towards you.

Namjoon snaked his arm around your neck and pulled you by his side, completely displaying you in front of the paparazzi. You were paralysed as the people went wild behind the glass. Namjoon was just glad that pictures with flash weren’t permitted inside the aquarium because he was certain they would’ve temporarily blinded you if they were. 

“I’ve finally found someone worth this nightmare, and you want to hide behind some postcards? Yeah, not gonna happen,” Namjoon sighed and tenderly squeezed your shoulder. 

Taehyung:

Taehyung tried really hard to keep you entertained everywhere you went. He always provided his full enthusiasm and smiles to whatever you were doing. He wasn’t really interested in doing something fancy or over the top because he found the most casual locations, like a coffee shop or maybe walking in the park, the best way to actually be comfortable and have a great time with you.

And it was always a mess when you two got loose. Something regularly happened. May it be one of you falling and hurting your knee, or accidentally dropping food over your clothes because you were fooling around with each other. May it be anything, Taehyung would take a photo of it for his “happy accidents album.”

You decided to go for a walk in the park because it was beautiful in spring and the weather was too nice to waste the day inside. After walking for a while, you sat on the swings and talked for what it seemed hours. There was a point when Taehyung got up and started to gently push your back. After a few pushes, you had gained some height in the air and noticed some paparazzi not far away from the playground zone of the park. They were getting nearer and you panicked.

“Tae, stop!”

Immediately, he grabbed the chains of the swing and you almost fell with on your knees because of the sudden action. In your mind, and most likely in real life as well, Taehyung was pouting and confused. An uncomfortable feeling bloomed in your chest.

“There's paparazzi. I have to go now,” you explained already getting up, but Taehyung’s hand on your shoulder taped you in place. “Tae-”

He walked around the swing and stood in front of you. The men with cameras were already there with their devices ready.

“Let them know,” he simply said as he leaned down and kissed your cheek. 

As if nothing had happened, Taehyung returned to his former place and pushed you again. You could only imagine how your face looked in those photos the men were taking.

(this gif gives me major boyfriend vibes. It’s so cute)

Jimin:

Jimin wasn’t really a fan of scary movies. He was truly scared of them if he was honest. Nevertheless, since the day you mentioned your devotion to that genre, he couldn’t get the thought of taking you to the cinema out of his head. Yes, he could easily pick a romantic comedy or something you both might enjoy, but he wanted you to enjoy your date with him. That way you would think about him more than any other thing and he really fancied that idea.

On your way to the movies, you asked a million times, if not more, if he was absolutely sure about watching it. And of course, he said yes, even if he was unsure. You decided not to push it and let him regret it later and learn from it.

While you were buying the snacks for the movie, you couldn’t help but hear the commotion outside the cinema. You easily recognized the cameras and flashes that were coming from behind the glass doors. Jimin’s back was facing the entrance because he was busy retiring the tickets but when he saw them, he walked to your side and smiled reassuringly.

“So, what did you buy for us?” He asked with bright eyes.

Confused about why he was talking to you so bluntly with the paparazzi right outside, you looked the other way, ignoring him.

“Is something wrong?”

And he sounded so hurt, that you couldn’t allow yourself to keep looking the other way.

“I’ll go inside and we’ll meet there, okay? I don’t want the paparazzi to take my picture. Nothing’s wrong, baby.”

Jimin frowned and took a peek at the men crowded outside the door. The constant flashes of their cameras and the people inside who were looking for the source of all the disturbance was starting to make you a little nervous.

“No, let’s go together,” he replied.

With that said, he took your hand with his and maintained your hold noticeable for the paparazzi. There was a remarkable reaction from them. They were more adamant about taking pictures of Jimin and, now, you.

“Shall we go? They have what they needed, don’t they?” He smiled and pulled from your hand, getting you to move and snap out of your trance.

Jungkook:

His first suggestion? “Let’s stay here and play video games. It will be fun!” And yes, you were sure you were going to have fun. It was near impossible not to with his constant tantrums over losing against you. But you suggested something even greater than home and video games: an arcade. Jungkook wasn’t really keen on the idea, stating that it was going to be boring because the games were old and all that. It was easy to convince him. Just a few pouts and a “please, Jungkook” and he was on board.

He would never admit it, but he was actually enjoying the aesthetic of the place and the “old” games that were everywhere he turned. An hour passed, and you were convinced he was more excited than you were, which made you smile smugly with an “I told you so” expression on your face.

You were ready to go back home when your eyes found the DDR at the very back of the arcade. There were no people around it! You were so eager to grab Jungkook’s hand and drag him all the way there but a flash stopped you. Just behind the glass door of the arcade, there were easily ten men with cameras, taking pictures of Jungkook playing Pac-Man. They hadn’t noticed you, so you slowly walked away from there, already pulling out your phone to send a text to Jungkook, indicating where to meet you and why you disappeared.

You turned around and eyed the back exit. Not wanting to look back, you tried to speed up your pace but someone grabbed your wrist and stopped your tracks.

“Where are you going?” Jungkook asked. You didn’t dare to turn around.

“There were paparazzi outside I thought that it wouldn’t be smart to let them photograph me with you.”

You received a sigh as a response. His hand dropped your wrist and, for a moment, you thought he was letting you continue your route, but he walked around you and pulled you against his body, resting his chin on your head.

“I don’t mind,” he hummed.

It was such a tender action and his arms were so delicate around you, you almost forgot about where you stood. 

“Now, I saw a game you might like somewhere around here... Care to let me kick your ass in the DDR?”

He broke the embrace and raised one of his eyebrows. You scoffed and started walking away from him.

“In your dreams, Jeon!”
