Kevin Day:// All For The Game

[xpeachesncream]

perfectly wrong | one

summary: there were rules that had to be followed: no one could know about you two, there was no ‘getting to know each other,’ and there was absolutely no emotional attachment allowed. if this could be done, there should be no complications. but somehow, the rules always get bended.

pairing: reader x fuckboy!kth

genre: college au | fluff, angst, smut

words: 2301

chapter warnings: cussing, mature language, very slight angst, some hints of jealousy, alcohol consumption

notes: pls remember that this is set a few months after you and tae have been going at it, so it will seem like things are happening a bit fast. i’m not trying to prolong this series. also most importantly, i tend to usually write shorter chapters > shorter, but more chapters published. enjoy!

> series masterlist <

Jungkook decided he was going to see if he could jump over your couch and land perfectly in a seated position.

"Wait, wait, wait. Absolute silence everybody." He says as he's stretched over, trying to estimate the timing and height of his jump. He had always been super athletic and competitive since you two were small, so there was really no changing his mind on this. He always had to prove something, even if that meant creating his own competition of jumping over the couch.

"It's just me and you." You watched him from the kitchen, making sure the pizza in the oven was baking properly.

"I have an audience, okay? Don't be rude, Y/N." He says as he points over to the fake audience clapping and laughing during a 'Friends' episode.

"Whatever, as long as you don't go breaking my shit, Jeon Jungkook." He was 22, but his mentality was 8. That was for damn sure.

"Siiiiiiilence." He says at a whisper, his eyes shut as he puts a finger to his mouth. He lets out a huff and a puff before he gets the courage to throw himself over the couch and land a perfect landing. "And once again, he sticks the landing!" He stands up with his hands up in the air.

"You're annoying." You laughed, getting paper plates ready for the pizza that was about to be done because you were in no mood to do any dishes tonight.

"Thank you! I'll be here again tomorrow, same time." He calls out to his fake audience.

"No the hell you're not."

"Ouch, nevermind. Someone apparently doesn't want me here." You laugh at how dramatic he is. At this point, you just let him be because that was something you always loved about your bestfriend. He embraced the kid in him and always brought good times. You had similarities, but you also had some major differences. You liked being in your comfort zone & you were labeled the innocent nerd amongst your friends. You just like to consider yourself simple, though. A 'take it day by day' kind of person. Kookie was fun, adventurous and childish at times. He was also shy, but loud at the same time? An introverted extrovert, you could say.

But you loved each other nonetheless, that's why you've clicked so well since you were young. You taught each other things & grew together.

"Here, fool." You placed the pizza in front of him with the paper plates.

"Set it up, I'll grab us the drinks. You want anything in particular?"

"That bottle of Stella Rosa, please." JK knew you loved that Stella Rosa, so he happily grabs the bottle and two wine glasses. He plops back next to you on the couch, pouring your glasses and grabbing a heaping serving of 4 slices of pizza.

You both decided you want a good laugh, so you throw on Kevin Hart's newest installment: Zero Fucks Given. It isn't long before you both are rolling on the floor, almost gasping for air at how much you're laughing at Kevin Hart's stand up. The pizza is gone, the wine is gone, and you're still feeling pretty tipsy. The whole thing sounds nice, until your head starts to wonder what Taehyung is doing and if he'll text you to come over tonight. You know he probably already has plans with another chick though, and that hits you.

Curse this fucking alcohol.

Let's get this straight - the only time you 'talk' is when he's trying to fuck.

And yes bitch, you let him do this to you. You're out that door before you can even fully slip your shoes on. Dick is just that good. It's something about Taehyung that makes you addicted. The way he gives you a stupid ass smirk when he opens his door, the way he touches your skin and gently lays his shit on you until you both become really invested in the moment. So invested that shit hits the roof. It gets messy. It gets rough. It becomes unspeakable.

You aren't friends. No one knows about you two, or that you even know the other exists. You don't know shit about each other. The only thing you know is that he's fucking other girls. He has a whole roster, you'd imagine - a starting five, at least.

He doesn't care about you, and for the most part, you don't either. At least, that's what you like to portray because it's been some months now since this whole thing started and you can't help but feel some kind of emotional tie to him. You're leaving your house between 12-2am in the morning and sleeping in his bed until 6-7am. It's a routine; a routine you've become used to. You skip out on some late night kick-its with your friends cause you anticipate a text to come through from him.

But, he doesn't care. You aren't the only female slipping into those sheets, and boy does it fucking make it hard to swallow. Reality hits hard when you think about it and you feel this huge pit in your stomach. You try to be different, you try to stand out one way or another. But it doesn't work that way. You knew what this entailed going into it, so it makes zero sense as to why you're hurting and getting jealous from time to time.

You know it still doesn't matter to him.

He's only fucking you over cause you let him. You know damn well you're not gonna change and let this go, though. You love thrill of it too much. It's the most thrill your life has had. You're not perfect and you're only human. You make mistakes, but this one definitely puts the cherry on top. Because not only do you refuse to learn, but you let it repeat itself over and over again.

"Aishhhh, my stomach hurts from laughing too much." Jungkook laid his head back and patted his belly. "But that was good though. I needed that."

"Yeah it was. Thanks for coming by to watch that with me, Kook." He tilts his head over to look at you and smiles.

"Sure thing." He checks his phone and sits up. "Yoongi is blowing up the group chat." You check your phone to see multiple unread messages from none other than Min Yoongi himself.

[yoongi] 10:37pm: aye

[yoongi] 10:45pm: all of a sudden, everyone is ghost in this group chat?! you all had a lot to say not too long ago.

[yoongi] 10:52pm: even though you guys are fake as fuck, does anyone wanna come with me to the bars tonight? meet at my place so we can head out.

You and Jungkook laughed at how butthurt Yoongi was in the groupchat. Yoongi definitely was the most serious and blunt one in your group, but he still liked to party and have a good time. It was just how he was. Hoseok was always full of energy and probably the most extroverted one out of all 4 of you. He was never shy. You and Jungkook met Yoongi and Hoseok your first year in college and became inseparable ever since. You all just click with your different attributes.

[jungkook] 10:53pm: lmaoooooooo

[yoongi] 10:53pm: fuck you dude lol

[jungkook] 10:54pm: i'll come through in a sec, i'm at y/n's right now. not sure if she's gonna come though?

[y/n] 10:55pm: i'll pass, i'm tired and wined out.

[hoseok] 10:55pm: ahahahah yoongi shut up, blowing up my phone for no reason. i'm passing on tonight too. im tired from working that overtime *cries*

[yoongi] 10:56pm: you both are boring. i'm especially offended at how i didn't get an invite to your little powwow, y/n. and now you don't wanna hang out?

[hoseok] 10:57pm: she mentioned she was going to watch kevin hart's thing yesterday and offered us to swing by if we wanted to though....... selective hearing, maybe?

[y/n] 10:58pm: ^ okayyyyy and that's on period! thank you hobi <3

[hoseok] 10:59pm: anything for the baby

[yoongi] 10:59pm: lmao you're a brat, y/n. whatever, i'm still hurt by you both! kook, hurry on over so we can drink

"Fuck I regret this, I'm gonna die." Jungkook laughed as he stood up and stretched. He quickly helped you clean up before he figured it was time to go or else Yoongi would have a fit.

"I feel like it has to do with that one girl he's been talking to on and off."

"Perhaps." Jungkook shrugged before putting on his shoes. "We shall see." he sighs before giving you a tight hug. "You sure you don't wanna come out?"

"Nope."

"You don't even have plans tonight."

"Yes I do."

"Doing what?"

"Laying in bed." Jungkook snorted as you shook your head and shrugged. What else did he think you were trying to do? He should know you by now, at the very least.

"Alright, I'm not even going to argue. I'm off."

"Be safe, have fun, text me if you both need anything, okay?" He nods as he shuts the door, leaving you to your lonesome. You swirled the teeny tiny drop of wine leftover in your glass around before picking up your phone.

No new texts. Well, let's be specific: no new texts from taehyung.

You did forget to respond to your oldest cousin though, when he was just trying to check up on you.

[seokjin] 8:35pm: pssst y/n

[seokjin] 8:35pm: psssssssssst

[seokjin] 8:35pm: oyyyyyyyyyy

He was damn near 30 years old and hated talking on the phone so much that he decides to blow up your phone this way. But, he was the cousin you loved dearly and you had a very tight, sibling-like relationship with him. He was like the older brother you've always wanted. He watched you grow, protected you, kept you safe, supported you and cheered you on - especially when your family talked so much shit about how you and him weren't gonna get anywhere with your goals. You know, the fucking stupid ol' saying of 'chasing your passion isn't going to bring you money & wealth.' Your family was all about the titles and money, but Jin was passionate about cooking and wanted to open his own cafe. You, on the other hand, wanted to pursue your art. Jin was the biggest role model for you because he was the first to defy your family's wants and wishes. He was the black sheep of the family with a huge 'I don't give a fuck' mentality and he taught you that along the way.

Don't ever be afraid to do what you're passionate about. Fuck 'em.

[y/n] 11:13pm: hi sorry, jungkook was over and we were watching kevin hart's new thing on netflix over some wine and pizza.

[seokjin] 11:15pm: that sounds fun! sorry, i just wanted to check on you but i see you're doing okay lol

[y/n] 11:16pm: i am. :) i'll hang out with you tomorrow

[seokjin] 11:16pm: how sweet, my freeloading baby cousin is coming by

[y/n] 11:17pm: hahahah shut up! although you're not wrong, i am going to steal some food. but most importantly, i do want to hang out and see my bestest oppa <3

[seokjin] 11:18pm: awww y/n, you're so full of shit <3

[seokjin] 11:18pm: go to bed

[y/n] 11:19pm: haha love you tooooo

And so, that's what you did. You got yourself all ready for bed, believing you wouldn't be leaving your house tonight. You pampered yourself, put on a face mask and got yourself all lathered up in lotion just to lay down. You're in Jungkook's shirt that he left behind (and never looked for, so technically it's yours now) when the guys had stayed the night and some Vicky Secret panties.

You're scrolling through your Instagram feed, seeing Jungkook's newly posted story with him and Yoongi already at the bars, acting a damn fool. You laughed at the video he took of Yoongi trying to dance in a tight, awkward space on the crowded dance floor even though he was never the best at dancing. It lowkey made you wish you went out with them so you wouldn't be stuck here thinking about your feelings and how lonely these hours get.

And then you see Jimin's story from an hour ago. He knew you were friends with Yoongi, and although Yoongi wasn't fond of their group too much, he was still an avid party-goer and mingled with people there. You've only spoken to Jimin once because you had to work with him in the same group on a class assignment. You tried to keep it that way though because he was Taehyung's bestfriend. They went everywhere together, did everything together. He, too, was very popular among the ladies and across campus. I guess it was just their thing.

You assume they were at a party cause Jimin quickly flashes the camera at Taehyung, who's in front of him getting a lapdance from some chick. Jimin quickly turns the camera back to his face as he's laughing uncontrollably then abruptly cuts it off.

Great.

She's forsure going home with him tonight.

You set your phone down on the night stand and put on a show on your laptop to help you fall asleep.

Just as you're about to get some shut eye, your phone vibrates. You let it slip at first because you thought it could be one of the guys playing around, but it vibrates again, signaling another text coming through. You pick up your phone just to make sure Yoongi and Jungkook aren't in any trouble and need you to bail their asses out.

[taehyung] 12:17am: hey

[taehyung] 12:20am: come over.

You scoff at how he assumes you're still up and that you'd be coming over. You hated that. He knew he just had your ass.

[gaspdl-blog]

ok hi im late to the partay mostly bc my shit wasnt together but now it is!!! so hi im kenny, im 21, in the cst & i prefer she/her pronouns. this is my tragic texas baby boy jamie!!! he’s basically the product of me stress watching breaking bad and becoming v interested in fall from grace tropes lol. but there’s a bunch of details about him under the cut if you want to learn more about the vipers’ mechanic, otherwise tldr;; like this and i’ll hit you up to plot !!

﹄MIN YOONGI, CISMALE, HE/HIM, TWENTY-FOUR ﹃  a new car has been dispatched in search of JAMIE KIM. he is known for being a MECHANIC for the VIPERS, for about six months now. he has proven to be resourceful and quick-witted, but also reclusive and arrogant, please proceed with caution.

more in-depth bio of me rambling here, please for the love of g*d dont read it

the gist ---- tiny bi chaos gay got a lucky shot out of the deadend future of running his family’s auto shop in texas via a full ride to ucla. mechanical engineering was the route he was set up on, + a stable friend group + a boyfriend, but he got hit with a big wave of depression and things spiraled downward from there. he walked in on his boyfriend cheating on him with his best friend a week before finals, failed all his exams, failed out of college, the ex kicked him out and he ended up on the street for a long while.

eventually, bc irony is so, so cruel, he ended up working in an auto-shop wondering how the fuck, after all that, he was going to end up just like his father. jamie was sleeping in the backseats of cars saving up that tiny min wage paycheck to eventually get his own place. he lucked out, though. jamie had done work for the right person, and got a cryptic phone call offering him a job that he took without a second thought - he’s been the vipers’ mechanic ever since.

he’s quiet, southern, a smart ass. jamie thinks he knows more than anyone about cars, which sometimes he does. he’s mostly motivated by the fear that he’ll end up on the streets again, and fullass refuses to put trust in people or spend any of his money until he feels sure that he won’t end up cold again.

random hcs;;

has a tiny bit of a texas accent but it only comes out when he’s angry or really happy.

part time JOBS - he used to work as a night guard at a museum (mostly as insurance to have somewhere to stay if things fall apart again, he’s really scared of being on the streets a second time and it feels inevitable when hes mega anxious) he wont give up the job bc hes scared he’ll need it in a pinch so he volunteers two nights a month to guard for them for free

hasn’t talked to his family in a really long time

spends a lot of his day alone // if you cant find him he’s probably asleep on his skateboard under a car

old hands

gross and sweaty and covered in grease

cap sun cancer moon taurus rising

has a couple weird quirks he picked up when he was experiencing homelessness - wears a lot of layers, eats fast, scared of cold weather

definitely an asshole at times , if he feels like ur bein a meanie to him and making fun of him he’ll def go into arrogant piece of shit mode where he’ll try to make you feel stupid ,, mega yikes

he’s the kid asleep in the back of class that the teacher calls on to be like GOTCHAbut jamie says the right answer even though he was snoring 10 seconds ago

can’t flirt so if he likes you he’ll fix all your shit & try to take care of you

skeeeeny repair man smart boy typa shit

hes a human cigarette when he’s stressed which is most of the time

GRUMPY TIRED NERDY

he’s a lil bit of a pacifist, so he doesn’t attend any of the fights. he knows speaking out against them would be stupid, so jamie keeps his mouth shut, but the violence sort of makes his skin crawl

he’s gotten meaner as the vipers have gotten more successful, he doesn’t let people fuck with him so he knows how to defend himself - he tries to inspire the intimidation and fear that would come with his reputation, but he thinks saying less is better and more effective (ie less scary).

playlist;; just his vibe kinda

001. I THINK – tyler the creator 002. baby boy – kevin abstract 003. this life – vampire weekend 004. the louvre – lorde 005. sunflower seeds – bryce vine 006. love$ick – a$ap rocky 007. waiting on the warmth – mormor 008. hold on – alabama shakes 009. cringe - stripped – matt maeson 010. empty – kevin abstract 011. o-o-h child – the five stairsteps 012. feel good inc – gorillaz 013. WEIGHT – brockhampton

wanted connections;;

a friend, pls give the kid a friend

someone outside the vipers who pays him to do work on their car

someone who rlly exposed him to something violent, ie jamie avoids them and prob freaks n thinks they’re the antichrist

the ex bf?? 

i’m open to anything!! it’s a lil tricky bc he’s a mcisolato but pls plot w me <3

[leaveharmony]

So we had ourselves a nice little house show. 

Sadly I couldn't find Asuka's figure at Toys Toys Toys beforehand & Hot Topic had no new rasslin' shirts in since last time; we did however end up buying New Day funko pops.  Kinda.  In that mum & I both wanted a Kofi so we went up w/ two of them, and then it was cheaper to buy three so I went back and grabbed a Xavier and I still feel terrible about leaving E behind lol

The INCREDIBLY IRRITATING emergency alert system actually went off at the Eaton's Centre while we were there, I guess they thought there was a fire or something but they didn't evacuate the place, just kept pulsing this ungodly loud BEEEEEEP every 3 seconds or so.  We took an accidental wrong turn into another tax bracket trying to get to the Bay to check for Betsy Johnson stuff, I guess they've sandwiched Saks 5th Avenue between the Bay and the rest of the mall.  I've never actually seen “Alexander McQueen” written anywhere in meatspace before.  We walked by a $3000 handbag, and I was afraid to breathe too hard.

They've fixed whatever it was needed fixing down by Exhibition Place, so the streetcar delivered us right outside the doors of Ricoh instead of like three blocks away, which was unimaginable luxury after last time.

Ricoh is a great venue, the only tricky thing about it is there's way less space for merch booths, so, there are really only 2 for the whole building & it's like a really patient mobscene trying to get near 'em.  We only succeeded at the end of the night.

- we kicked off w/ the Golden Truth & Sin Cara facing the rather motley assortment of the Shining Stars, Jinder Mahal and Bo Dallas, of all people.  I think it was Jinder who got on the mic offering to graciously let the other team take a forfeit, R-Truth explained they had a partner but they were “stuck in traffic,” (Eva?) so you knew how this was gonna go from the off.  lol.  Of course the faces got kicked around until Big Show arrived near the end of the match.  Or rather, Big Show arrived and caused the end of the match.  

- I was hoping for a Cruiserweight match & got my wish with Rich Swann and Neville; this is actually the third time I've seen Rich in the span of like 5 months lol.  From a technical standpoint this was probably match of the night, but, the crowd let it down a bit.  Surprising amount of support for Neville...I guess we are a Commonwealth country, after all.  He won by faking a leg injury and wolluping Rich when he turned his back.  Then he hopped sarcastically on the supposedly injured leg - I've never seen a man hop sarcastically before, but he managed it, by god.

- Next up, Sasha and Alicia took on Nia and Dana.  Nia got a very warm reception, for a heel lol.  Ppl were actually cheering for Alicia which is odd, because they booed her at Survivor Series, and that was BEFORE the dumbass angle w/ Cedric and Noam.  The Boss was of course received rapturously, as befitting her station.  Her & Foxy picked up the win.

- I think Roman and Braun were supposed to be the main event originally, but they got demoted to the pre-intermission spot.  I was laughing at a dueling pair of little boys in the audience, as one would yell LET'S GO ROMAN and the other from a few rows behind him would counter w/ ROMAN SUCKS!  Ro got thrown around like a ragdoll but picked up a DQ victory when Braun used the ringsteps.  Repeatedly.  Still not as terrible a sound as when Shinsuke hit them. :)  He & Sami were prolly tied for glad-hander of the night b/c it took him a very long time to get back up the ramp, taking selfies w/ kids and signing autographs and stuff lol.  I should have run down to the merch stands while he was taking his sweet-ass time leaving, but I wasn’t 100% sure it was the last one before the break...ah well.

- Post-intermission, we had a fatal 4 way for the tag titles.  The start was heralded by the gradual appearance of a giant inflatable box of Booty-O's; Xavier and Big E took the ramp while Kofi drove in the ice-cream cart from beside it.  Enzo & Cass were out next...the dorks were dancing to their theme along w/ Enzo.  Sheamus and Cesaro completed the challengers...at one point when Sheamus was mugging for the crowd Cesaro stood behind him w. his hand up on his head like a shark fin, mocking the mohawk.  XD  'Course then the party was over as Anderson & Gallows hit the ring.  A guy behind me loudly confessed as they did that he couldn't tell them apart & also didn't know which one was named Karl and which was namd Luke.  “Does it honestly matter?” I thought. Once everybody was assembled, Kofi briefly attempted whirling two unicorn horns like nunchucks as an intimidation tactic.  He was more coordinated with them than Shinsuke was with the bone-chucks, but, I think in fairness Shinsuke was trying to look as ridiculous as possible.  <3  Anderson ended up getting a quick roll-up-feet-on-ropes victory after E assisted in tossing Kofi out of the ring onto everybody else. AFTERWARDS, all the faces surrounded Anderson, and Cesaro swung him. Like 20 rotations, at least lol.   Then there was a brief dance party.  Enzo & Cass participated willingly but Sheamus had to be physically restrained and coerced into a brief hip-wiggling before fleeing the ring in shame (shame!  shame!).

- Bayley & Charlotte were up next.  I wish I could say it was as good as the masterpiece Charlotte and Natalya put on, but sadly not so much.  There was a tiny contingent of side-pigtailed little girls somewhere to our left, who maintained a LET'S GO BAYLEY chant for the entire match lol.  She won w/ the Bayley to Belly.  I took more pictures of them, to make up for the celebration picture Charlotte ruined with her heel ways at Survivor Series XD

- I think they saved all the canadians for the main event lol.  Team heels came out first, Kevin followed by Joe followed by Triple H.  KO is still beloved...we don't care he's a heel, he's our heel.  I gotta say, I'm much happier watching Joe when Shinsuke's literal neck isn't at stake lol.  Trips was...certainly there.  I've been casually indifferent to him for like 18 years at this point, so....  I thought they might save Finn's entry for last, but, he came out after Sami, leaving the last word to Jericho, god-emperor of Canada.  It occured to me at this point that with the exception of Trips, everybody in the ring had had at least one match with Shinsuke. :)    I just.  They're all super.  lol.  Jericho got the pin on Kev, following a vicious codebreaker.  Then he put us all on the list, which has now I believe become a list of the Friends of Jericho.  Words cannot express how much I love that guy <3

Having a bit more of a time-cusion than last time, we stayed to watch everybody leave.  They actually played Sami out twice because Finn left before he did, but Sami had wandered off to one side of the ramp hugging ppl and taking selfies lol.  I will confess to waving to all three of them as they left, though there wasn't a prayer they woulda seen.  <3

As people left en masse there was a slightly less ridiculous line at the smaller merch stand, so, mum picked up one of the tour shirts and I ended up w/ one of Finn's - I was hoping for a Sami shirt, honestly, but at least at that booth they didn't have one and I couldn't get anywhere near close enough to the big one to even see if there was.   Even though we made it back to the bus terminal well ahead of time we actually ended up having to literally chase the bus, because mum took a bit longer in the downstairs bathroom...thankfully the driver stopped after making us run alongside the fucking thing right up to the stop sign...if there hadn't been a sign there it's entirely possible he would have just left us there, at Midnight, even though our names were on his list of passengers.  It's funny now but it wasn't funny at the time.  :/
