bts! getting jealous of a male friend
pairing! bts x reader
genre! angst
synopsis! bts gets jealous of your male friend (requested)
wc! 800
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
jin! had his jaw clenched. you were talking to a friend that stopped you and jin during a outing. it’s like jin didn’t exist in that moment. he was green with jealousy. when you finally did return your attention to him, his mouth spoke before he could even think. “if he’s so much better than me then go be with him!” he snapped. your eyes went wide. “jin..” you started confused at his behavior. “no go.” he yelled. you wanted to protest but his face was full of anger. “call me when you’re ready to talk without yelling at me.” you left him to wallow in his jealousy and insecurities.
namjoon! stared at you with a stone face. he kept clenching and unclenching his fist. he watched carefully as you caught up with a guy friend during your weekly cafe date. joon rarely gets to see you and seeing you talking to your male friend set him over the edge. when you returned namjoon was quiet. his shoulders tense. “i think you should go join him, since he’s obviously more worthy of your time.” his voice was deep. “joon what?” you asked confused. “go.” he snapped. you scoffed grabbing your stuff. “call me when you decide to talk to me like an adult.” namjoon watched you go with regret.
yoongi! came back from the restroom to see your attention on some guy. he scoffed before standing there looming behind you. the guy stuttered over some words before leaving quickly. “yoongi what the hell?” he raised and eyebrow. “why’d you do that?” he scoffed. “if he’s so much better than run after him.” he didn’t yell but you sensed he wasn’t joking. “grow up yoongi seriously.” he scoffed but it killed him to watch you walk away.
hobi! had a look that could kill etched into his face. this guy just came up to you and took your attention off him so easily. hobi was practically seething. it’s like you forgot he was there. when the guy finally left hobi turned his pent up jealousy on you. “seriously y/n? it’s like i was just a wall standing there!” he stomped his foot. “what? it was like a two minute conversation.” he scoffed. “whatever i don’t want to see you right now, go.” he turned away from you. he heard you scoff and leave not sparing him a word. you’d listen when he wanted to talk and listen.
jimin! was quiet but screaming internally. who was this guy? you blew off plans with him to see this guy? jimin was furious. he called you but you ignored it talking to your friend. jimin had enough and stormed over. “y/n seriously!? you ignored my call for this guy?” jimin was angry. seeing red. jealousy over taking all reason. “jimin my phone was on do not disturb.” he scoffed. instead of realizing his mistake he dismissed you. “whatever y/n go be with him!” he didn’t let you talk before storming away.
taehyung! was jealous whenever you’d spend a little more time with another member. so when you were stopped by a male friend tae was already on edge. how dare he talk to his s/o? how dare is s/o ignore him for that guy? “seriously y/n? ignoring me for him? who even is this guy?” tae was being rude and your friend decided to just leave sensing he wasn’t wanted around. “tae what the hell?” you asked. he scoffed. “i should ask you that!” you rolled your eyes. “he’s a friend.” taehyung crossed his arms. “fine go spend the day with him then.” you didn’t bother fighting it, you’d speak to him later when he decided to be a grown up.
jungkook! didn’t understand what jealousy really felt like until he saw you giving the attention he get’s to another guy. anyone could see the steam coming from his ears. the guy glanced and jungkook and took in his looming presence before saying goodbye quickly. you turned and seen jungkook’s face and stance. “kook are you okay?” you asked. he scoffed. “obviously not y/n, just go spend time with him leave me be!” he snapped. your eyes went wide at his tone. “kook..” you started. “no just go.” he was serious. you sighed before leaving to be angry. he’d come around.

Tumblr media
“Jesus don’t open your mouth like that it stinks”. Wonyoung pretended to yawn but halfway a pillow hit her face.
“Rude..”. Rolling your eyes you got out of bed and went to your closest.
“Can’t just stand infront of someone’s bed and expect them to not be weirded the fuck out”. Just as you were about to pick a suit
Wonyoung slapped your hand.
“I got you”
“But-“
“Babe I’m sorry but your closest is.. it looks like you have a dog”. You tilted your head as Wonyoung looked down.
“Are you saying it looks like a dog played in my closest?!”. Wonyoung nodded and ran out of your room. You shook your head and then went to take a shower. When you got out you saw black dress, shoes and white socks.
“It’s great I know”. You held in your laugh and got dressed. Just ask you fixed your socks Wonyoung unlocked the door.
“So-“
“Wonyoung?!”
“Sorry I’ll be quick just let me do your make up!”. You sighed as Wonyoung say you down on the toilet and zapped some make up products in her hand.
“I’m like your angel..!”. Your laughed and looked at your phone.
“Shit! I’m going to be-“
“Ubers down stairs go go go!”. You nodded grabbed your stuff and ran to the Uber.
As you ran into the office a few eyes went to you. You heard a chuckle to your right. You looked over to see Minji.
“Ya got a little something..”. Minji brushed a stray hair from your lip as you stared up at her.
“You look like a lost puppy.. why are you so late?”. Your eyes went wide and then she laughed again.
“Joking your like three minutes early”. You shoved the girl and she giggled as you went to make some coffee.
“So Ms.Kim..”
“Did you kill someone?”. Your head snapped in the taller girls direction.
“What no! I just have a question”. Minji tilted her head as you finally dipped your coffee.
“So..”
“Y/n!”. You were engulfed in a hug and with the hug your mug hit the counter.
“Oh shit.. fuck I’m so sorry”. Yeji scrambled to clean the table as you tried to reassure her everything was fine.
“Do you have a reason to be here”. As you finally looked up from Yeji you were shocked. So swiftly Minji’s face was stone cold and she balled her hands into fists.
“Oh uh.. I just wanted to make sure your ok”. Yeji through the cup in the trash and then waited for your response.
“I am but.. can I uh talk to you alone..?”. You motioned for Minji to leave and you swear you saw her pout as she left.
“You and Jin are going on a date at the whole carnival thing right..?”. Yeji nodded and smirked as you went on. You left the room surpressing as you went to your cubicle.
“What was that about”. Minji slid her chair a little out of her cubicle as you turned on your computer.
“Oh.. I just asked her for a favor with some of my work.. since she owed me for something!”. Minji cracked a smile as you went on about your work. Unknowingly to you Minji bit her lip as you went on. Her eyes darting from your lips to your eyes multiple times.
“Everyone in my office NOW!”. You jumped up at your bosses voice and Minji laughed.
“I saw you jump too! Shhh!”. Minji followed behind you and the meeting flew by fast. You later went back to your work. Email Email Email.. and someone how it was already dark.
“Shit!”
“What”. Minji didn’t take her eyes off her computer as you packed up your stuff.
“I was gonna ask you to go to the cardinal down the block shit shit shit!”. Minji suddenly stopped typing. You turned of your computer and put your bag over your shoulder.
“Yes”
“What?”
“I’ll go with you to the carnival..!”
“I said that out loud..?”. Minji giggled again as you got all in your head. Just give me five minutes and I’ll meet you outside. You suppressed your smile and left the office, but as soon as you were out of sight you smiled so hard it hurt.
Just as you got outside your phone dinged. You smiled thinking it was Minji. Then your face dropped.
unknown number : did you do it yet
you : wonyoung?
unknown number : tf would it be?
you : idk some creepy person trying to kidnap me?
unknown number : answer the question?!
you : not yet she’s coming bye!
unknown number : This is your last chance! YOU BEYTER KISS HER DUDE!
“Ok let’s go!”. You nodded as you both started to walk with Minji. Just as you were about to open your mouth you tripped. Minji gasped as you fell on your knees.
“Fuck!”. You slowly tried to get up as Minji laughed.
“Are.. are you ok?”. You rolled your eyes as Minji helped you to a nearby bench. As she kneeled infront you stared at the sky.
“Your lucky I always carry band aids”
“You expect people to get hurt?”. Minji laughed and then looked up at you.
“Not people”. She poked your chest and then took a small pouch out of her work bag.
“You”. You winced as Minji cleaned the scratches on your legs.
“What are you an on the go nurse?!”. Minji giggle as she put on two band aids on your knees. She got up and sat next to you.
“Give me your hands”
“Put them it’s gonna hu- FUCK KIM MINJI!”. Minji cleaned the scratches on your hands and put a bandage on each hand.
“See easy”. You bit your cheek.
“Are you still mad at me.. I understand but now it’s over cheer up..”. Minji poked your cheek and then got up.
“I’ll get you anything you want at the carnival”. Your smirked as you grabbed the girls arm.
“Anything..?”
“I mean.. like under twenty bucks you know we’re I work!”. You burst out laughing as Minji continued to rant about the office. Sooner then later you entered the carnival. But as you tried to put your plan to attached you failed miserably.
If Yeji was playing a game with Ryujin, Minji got hungry. If Yeji went to get a snack, Minji wanted to play a game. So cotton candy in hand you sighed as Minji came back from the bathroom. She took a bite of some of your cotton candy and smiled.
“Hay I spent thirteen dollars on this!”
“The lady over there is selling it for three”. Your eyes went wide as Minji ate the rest of your cotton candy. After she finnished eating you felt her grab your hand. Off to another game you thought before you were in the line for the Ferris wheel. In shock you nodded to whatever Minji was going on about.
While you and Minji were close.. you also really weren’t. So she didn’t know of your terrible fear of heights. But to late you were already on the wheel and slowly going up. Minji started to notice something was wrong when your grip on your hand for tighter. Your leg was bouncing up and down and you were bitting your lip. Just like you did anytime the boss assigned more work to you and you desperately wanted to say no.
“Are you afraid of heights?”
“What no..?”. Mini let go of your hand and put it around you waist pulling you closer to her. She put her other hand on your leg, which stopped moving.
“You know you can actually see the stars up.. in this thing..”. You followed Minji’s eyes out the window and smiled. Until your head titled down. You felt a hand tip you head up.
“We’re almost going down it’s ok..”. Minji rubbed your thigh as you stared blankly at her. Your plan had gone to shit, you only had a few more hours till you lost your chance. So fuck it. You grabbed Minji by the jaw and kissed her.
“Ow fuck!”. Minji touched her lip as the apologies from you started to spill out.
“No no your fine”
“But your lip.. fuck is bleeding”. Minji giggled as your scrambled in your bag for tissue. Once you found it you dabbed at her lip. When you finished and slowly let your hand fall to your lap, Minji kissed you. One hand on your thigh while the other caressed your check. As Minji tilted her head you slowly leaned in. Putting one of your hands on her waist as she pushed you against the passenger car. As Minji got closer and closer the wheel stopped, and she did too.
“The stars are really pretty..”. Your eyes darted from the stars to Minji’s face. She burst out laughing and as she did her head hit the back of the passenger car. Then you both started to laugh.
“You I had a plan”. Minji smiled as you went on about your plan with Yeji and she covered her mouth.
“Yeji has a girlfriend?”
“Ya of three years”
“Well shit..”. You giggled as Minji put her head on her knees and put her arms around them too.
“So you like..like me?”
“I thought the lip biting made that obvious..?”. You smiled as Minji rolled her eyes.
“I thought to constant doing work that wasn’t ever mine showed that I liked you”. You sighed.
“I’m just a little dense”
“A little?”. You threw your bag at the girl as she laughed. You got closer to her and smiled.
“So do you wanna..?”
“Go on a date..?”
“Be my girlfriend”. Minji’s cheeks went red.
“I mean I guess.. you did leave me with a busted li-“. You pecked her lips as she laughed. Then you heard a knock.
“Hope you had a swell time.. come again..”. The teenage boy barely blinked as you both jumped and got your stuff. As you walked out of the carnival you both laughed.
“By this time Yeji, Ryujin and us would go on a double date..”
“So you really planned this out”. You gently nudged Minji as a cat pulled up.
“No Yeji just want to revel in the fact you would finally not hate her..”. Yeji rolled down her window and waved you to the car. As Minji got in you pulled out your phone. ‘Look right :)’. As you did. Pink park uniform Wonyoung winked and closed the gates to the park. Oh thank cupid.

Before I Leave You (Pt.58)
Tumblr media
(SneakPeek) (Omegaverse au, Mafia au, Bts x Reader)
Summary: Your nightmares are a troubling development but the pack won't let you drown. They have different ideas on how to help you. Some more damaging than others.
Tags:  Angst, Hurt/comfort, Fluff, cuddling, Nightmares, graphic depiction of fake character death, Discussions of past rape, No explicit depictions of past rape/sexual assault, past domestic-abuse, flashbacks, safe-wording during sex (Sorta), unpleasant sexual encounters, under-negotiated kink, mentioned sex toys, crying during sex, Sad blow jobs, small dick jungkook, allusions to past eating disorders, anxiety, implied self-hate, self-esteem issues, non-verbal main character.
W/c:  10.3k
A/N: this chapter was originally supposed to be a lot longer- but i got too in depth with it and had to split it up. This is easily one of the more heavy chapters of bily (and that's saying something), so please be mindful of the tags! I will say- this section given as a sneak peek is actually at the beginning.
Previous Chapter - Masterlist
Chapter 58: Don't let this darkness fool you
Your unraveling starts with the Nightmare.
It’s a dark tangle of half-forgotten moments. A movie with all of the scariest scenes copied and pasted. Bright punctures of feelings like blood dripping down your chin and the tang of it in your mouth. Geumjae’s scent in your nose as he shoves your mouth against his skin. All of it. Every unhappy memory that your psyche has locked away for later dragging you down and down like the tide would drag a stone to a watery grave.
Until the moments condense like a figure rising through fog and you’re sitting in that house again. The one with the yellow brocade curtains pulled closed across the windows so that no one sees what happens inside.
You're sitting with Geumjae at the dining room table. The elaborate meal in Infront of you rises with steam and smells divine. The cutlery is polished so clean that you can see your reflection in it. A million dancing tiny versions of you staring back with vacant doll-like eyes.
You remember this meal; you remember what happened to you on this morning. The soreness between your legs reminds you of that horror. You remember how hard you worked after he left in the morning leaving you in a bloody heap in the bathroom. You remember hoping that if you did everything you absolutely could to prepare this meal, He’d be satisfied and he wouldn’t hurt you again.
But avoiding rape is never quite so easy.
It was foolish to hope back then. Geumjae was a man of routine and he required your body every morning and evening without fail. But hoping is so hard to avoid, like an itch under your skin that demands biting nails, a furious sort of wanting. Hope is nothing more than a chain that drags you through the sludge when you think it might be your buoy.
For this nightmare, the other chairs at the table aren’t empty like they usually are. It’s not just you here.
He must have taken a needle and stitched your mouth shut (like he always threatened) because you feel powerless to scream at Namjoon to get away to stay back. You can do nothing more than watch as he leans over and says something to Geumjae that makes him smile.
His smile makes him look like Yoongi; who himself is sitting at the head of the table nursing a glass of wine and scowling. Jin is on Namjoon's other side, hair combed back from his face in a way that makes Seokjin look absurdly pretty. On his left is Jimin and then Tae. Each of them eats like they haven't in days, shoveling food into their mouths like it’s their last meal.
Jungkook is by your side and asks if you’re going to eat your dinner roll. Puffy and crusty bread that he never would be able to eat in real life. You watch powerlessly as he scarfs it down like he hasn’t ever eaten anything more delicious. licking his fingers from the crumbs when he finishes.
Tae is dressed in your jewels this time, not Jimin's. The necklace Geumjae gave you for your second anniversary digs into her collar bones as if it was pinned there, like a butterfly on a piece of cardboard. Glittering with more diamonds than seem possible. Like one of those Instagram filters, every reflection mark turned glittery. Jimin’s suit is like something out of vogue.
One moment you’re looking at the perfectly edible food and the next you’re watching it rot before your very eyes. The meat greying and melting, the salad wilts gooey and spoiled. The fancy porcelain plates writhing with worms and maggots and creepy crawlies that slither out of nowhere. No one notices. No one realizes that the bites they bring to their lips are poison.
Jin licks his lips, the skin already greying and cracking.
Geumjae looks up at you from his plate, grinning all the while. Collar starched white. You haven’t heard his voice in so long but your mind remembers the exact cadence of it in perfect detail.
“What’s wrong princess? Aren’t you going to eat up?
When you look back at them, Namjoon’s slumped in his chair, chest not rising and falling, staring blankly forward with bloody eyes. When you look Jin’s got his head half gone. Cut away. Wriggly things curl behind what's left of his eye. Tae’s collar bones are bleeding where the diamond collar sits. Ribbons drip down her bodice. Jimin’s white shirt is slowly blooming red too. Bullet wounds pepper his chest. One on his shoulder and a cluster of them over his heart.
Jungkook slumps over his plate seizing until he’s still. Still the way that dolls are. Dead. Looking at you with wide vacant eyes that go grey with congealing blood.
Yoongi's hands are burning, fire licking up his clothes and he does nothing to put it out. Burning and bubbling and boiling. Skin pealing up like paint beneath the flames.
Hoseok is the only one not at the table.
Geumjae smiles again. Baring his teeth in that animal way of his. “What’s wrong princess? I thought you said you loved them- aren’t you going to try and stop it?”

Chapter warnings: Jack in The Box listening party is here! <3 
WC: 3.7k
← Previous | Series Masterlist | Next →
Tumblr media
You were very thankful for the fact your HYBE keycard allowed you to use the building’s facilities, which included the gym. You weren’t particularly inclined on working out in your current condition, when you felt really tired most of the time, and especially not after a long day of lectures and assignments at the HYBE Summer Program.
But you did make use of their showers, so you didn’t need to go home to get ready for the Jack in The Box listening party. You were also lucky enough that the event meant to celebrate the launch of Hobi’s first solo album was happening in the building, with tight security, and you knew practically everyone on the guest list. The last thing you needed was to have an anxiety attack for being in a crowded room, or to worry your boyfriends about it. 
After washing your hair and finishing your shower, you put on your dress; one you bought especially for tonight and you knew your boyfriends would like. It was a dark blue, v-neck, backless piece, with teeny tiny stones sewn into the fabric that made it sparkle when it hit the light. You put your sneakers back on, leaving your heels inside your backpack to change into once the party was starting. 
Most, if not all, of the boys should be in the building already, getting hair and makeup done before going up to the roof where the launch was happening. You met them at the hair and makeup floor, hearing their voices despite the closed door of the room they were in. 
“Baby, tell your boyfriend he has to stay for the party.” Hoseok was telling you as soon as you walked into the room. 
Jungkook and Jin were sitting at the makeup chairs, getting touched up by a couple of staff members, and somehow you knew it wasn’t the maknae who was already planning his swift escape. You dropped your backpack on the couch that was holding the rest of the boys’ stuff and walked deeper into the room, bowing to the staff and camera directors filming for the Bangtan TV YouTube channel. 
“Oppa!” you grinned, standing behind his chair, hands resting on his wide shoulders as you looked each other over in the mirror. “The party didn’t even start and you’re already trying to run away?” 
“I feel uncomfortable meeting new people.” he told you with a pained smile that made Hobi laugh. 
“You are literally an idol.” you giggled, leaning down to kiss his forehead. 
“And you look gorgeous.” Seokjin turned around as soon as the staff set him free, dabbing the last bit of powder on the side of his nose. 
“Give us a twirl, tokki.” Jungkook asked from his side, a little smirk playing on his lip balm covered lips, watching you through the reflection as he got his hair touched up. 
You were about to deny them when Hoseok held you by the wrist, making you turn and give them the perfect view of all angles of your dress. The boys whistled and cat-called, making you roll your eyes despite your red cheeks. 
“All of you look great.” you told them with a smile as Hoseok’s arms wrapped you from the back, chin resting on your shoulder. Your face turned a little to the side so you could see him. “Are you nervous, my love?” 
“No, I'm alright.” 
It was a lie. You could feel his buzzing as he was stuck to you, could feel his chest breathing heavily and the way his hands were clinging to your arms. 
“Alright, Yn, I’m sorry to break this lovely scene, but you’re up.” Heejin was calling you next to the chair Seokjin was occupying before. “Come on, and get the kisses out of the way, I’m not going to be fixing your lipstick.” 
“Yes, unnie.” 
You were well aware of the cameras still filming the boys and, by default, you, but it was a special night, and you were sure the editors would blur and edit you out, so you turned around in Hoseok’s arms and hugged him by the neck. 
He looked so handsome tonight –he always did– but his hair was styled, his clothes were cool, and the little bit of black eyeshadow just made him look so good. He was staring down at you, gaze slipping to your lips, until they closed completely when you leaned in. 
The kiss didn’t go much further, just enough to let him know you were proud of him and excited for tonight. You parted from him with a little nibble to his bottom lip and moved to sit at the chair Heejin was standing next to. 
“I should go upstairs to greet the guests.” Hobi told the rest of you, trying to grab Jin to go with him. He turned to you when he said: “Don’t be too long, I need my good luck charm.” 
“Don’t rush the artist!” Heejin answered him, shooing the man with a makeup brush. 
As Hoseok was getting ready to leave the dressing room, Jimin was coming in to get his makeup done. He managed to steal a kiss from you as Jungkook complained he didn’t get to and Heejin scolded him. 
To make things move a little faster, a blonde girl came to help your friend, doing your hair as Heejin got your makeup done. The only reason you were being pampered like this was the good friendship you had with the head of the makeup department, since being Bangtan’s girlfriend shouldn’t really grant you free hair and makeup. 
But you were thankful nonetheless. 
“Hey, Heejin-ah.” you called for her, with eyes closed as she worked on your eyeshadow. “Are you doing anything this weekend?” 
“Why? Wanna hit a pub?” she replied. “Just say when and I’m yours.” 
“I mean, we can go to one after, but I need your help with a shoot.” 
“Oh?” 
You told your friend about the idea you, Sumni and Woojin had for the project you had to hand in at the second week of the Summer Program, and how you wanted to shoot the fictitious pilot episode of the webseries you had envisioned. She got really excited about it, accepting to help you with it. If she’d accept your payment, that was something else entirely. 
“I asked Doyun to help with the set up–” 
A snort to your left made you stop and look at Jimin, eyes meeting through the reflection in the mirror. It was a reaction you expected, so you played dumb as you asked:
“Can I help you?” 
“No, it’s fine. Just sounded like you said you asked Doyun to help you with the project.” he said in that sassy manner of his; too bad he looked too cute. 
“That’s because it’s exactly what I did.” you said, getting comfortable on your chair and letting Heejin continue her work. “Problem?”
Jimin scoffed this time, satoori thick on his tongue and a pout on his lips as he said: “Why would there be a problem? It’s not like he flirts with you every chance he gets, even if he knows you have a boyfriend. No, no. That you have seven boyfriends.” 
You did understand why your boyfriends weren’t Doyun’s biggest fans, the man did try to ask you out dozens of times; even before you and the boys first hooked up. But with BTS being on a semi break, with only one concert lined up a few months away, you knew the stage set up and producer was a little low on work. The same could be said about Heejin and her makeup and hair team, since their workload was a lot smaller now that Bangtan wasn’t constantly being filmed or performing. 
And you had the opportunity of hiring your friends, even if you couldn’t pay them the same amount HYBE did, plus it would give you all a chance to work together again. 
“Do the others know about this?” Jimin asked and your eyes squinted. 
“Not that I need permission from any of you, but yes. Yoongi knows.” you told him pointedly. 
“Sure, blame it on the guy who’s home with a fever.” 
“Would it make you feel better if one of you were present during the shooting?” you offered, and Jimin was already nodding. 
“I guess I can spare some time to–”
“Bun, would you like to help too?” you turned to Jungkook on your right, who was silently watching his hyung bicker. “I could use your Golden Closet Films skills.” 
“Of course, noona.” 
Tumblr media
By the time you made it to the rooftop and into the party, most of the guests had already arrived. It didn’t take you that long to get dolled up, but Taehyung and Namjoon arrived at hair & makeup just as you were leaving and Taehyung insisted you ate the snacks he brought to you before going up. Which of course resulted in you having to brush your teeth again and Heejin touched up your lipstick. 
Hoseok was already on the little stage, next to the DJ booth, giving his intro speech about the album, while everyone was sitting on the bleacher style steps, with champagne flutes in hand. The colorful lights were blinking, giving the space a nightclub vibe, with smoke machines, loud music, claps and cheers as your boyfriend talked. 
You passed by Bang PD-nim, receiving a hug from the man on your way to a spot at the front, where Jungkook was sitting. You sat down next to him, butterflies erupting in your stomach and pride filling your heart as you watched Hoseok do his thing. 
“I wanted to show you that this is the vibe this guy has, so I invited you all here today.” the man of the night was saying to the mic, with sunglasses and his overall cool persona. “I hope you all enjoy this event. Let’s open the box now. Open the box, let’s go!”
The whole room, including you, clapped and yelled as the big projection screen lit up with fun and colorful graphics for Jack in The Box and the DJ started to play the first song of the album. 
Everyone was vibing to the songs, listening to a small snippet of each one of them. Only when the listening part of the night was over, Hoseok seemed to relax, opening up the dance floor and receiving his friends and peers coming up to him to congratulate him for the cool album he was putting out. 
There were so many familiar faces you hadn’t seen in a really long time and you wanted to catch up with all of them, but an arm around your waist stopped you from going anywhere. 
“You look really gorgeous, jagiya.” Taehyung slipped to your front, hugging you and swaying his body to the tune of the song playing. 
“Why thank you, you’re very handsome yourself.” you told him, letting your body move with his as you hugged him back. With your heels, you were only slightly shorter than him. 
Taehyung was wearing a simple shirt and pants, nothing too fancy, but he was still one of the most gorgeous men in the room. He put a glass of dark liquid in your hand and you felt a bit awkward, not knowing how you could tell him you weren’t planning on drinking tonight. And then he surprised you as he said: 
“Don’t take drinks from anybody but me, alright?” he spoke to your ear and you couldn’t help the small shiver that ran up your spine. “There’s no alcohol in that.” 
“Tae, do you know something?” you asked him with furrowed brows, seeing the small glint in his eyes that told you that he did. “We should talk about this.”
“Yes, but not here.” he agreed with a gentle kiss on your forehead. “Come dance with me.” 
You took a sip of the grape juice, a little relieved that at least someone else besides you and Hana knew of your current situation, and Taehyung was willing to cover for you. He pulled you to the middle of the dance floor, a protective and gentle hand spread on your naked back as you danced to the beat of the pop song. 
The vibes of the party were so nice, positive and exciting, that it was easy to let your body –or Taehyung’s– command your movements so your brain could relax. You had already promised yourself to keep your feelings in check, to remind yourself that you were safe, no one here was interested in you, no strangers or outsiders were allowed in the building. 
As you finished your glass of juice, a nice staff came over to pick up your empty glass and Tae’s, leaving the two of you with more freedom to move. 
A slow R&B song started playing and you turned your back to the man, who circled your waist and pressed you against his chest as his hands rested on your stomach. When Tae kissed your shoulder, making his way to your neck, you giggled.
“What’s so funny?” he asked with a chuckle of his own. 
“Remember the first time we danced like this?” you turned your head to side so you could stare at his profile and be heard over the music. “At Jimin’s birthday party.” 
Taehyung gave you his boxy smile, hugging you harder as he said: “I like dancing just the three of us.” 
“Me too.” 
The man leaned down to kiss your lips, not really caring as your lipstick stained his lips. You assumed he remembered when you, Hoseok and him danced together last october. It felt like such a long time ago and you couldn’t believe you knew the seven of them for almost a year at this point. 
“Of course I would find you tangled up with one of your men.” at the familiar voice of your best friend, you untangled yourself from Tae to hug Hana. “Hi, boo!” 
“Hello yourself!” you squeezed her a little tighter, turning to her boyfriend to offer Eunwoo a hug too. “Hi, Eunwoo-ssi. You know Tae, right?” 
The two men hugged each other in a bro way which made you and Hana laugh. Your boyfriend excused himself to get drinks for the two of them with a promise to let Jimin know the man had arrived. Apparently Eunwoo and Jimin were close friends and your third youngest boyfriend was excited to catch up. 
Speaking of catching up. 
You pulled Hana a little closer, hoping her boyfriend wouldn’t hear you as you said: “Tae knows.” 
“Knows what– Oh, shit, really?” her eyes widened as you nodded. “How?!”
“I don’t know, maybe his angels told him.” you shrugged with a giggle, since you had no idea how the man learned about your condition. 
“Huh. And I always thought your oppa would be the first to sense something is up.” 
You had to agree with her. While all of the boys tended and cared for you, Seokjin was the most nurturing and worried about your wellbeing. You had a different kind of connection to all of the seven, all equally strong and special, but it was to Seokjin that you turned to when you were feeling bad, tired, or even sick. He was the one to take care of you when you drank too much or overworked yourself. 
“Here you go!” Taehyung still had his happy smile as he came back with two glasses of alcohol for your friends. “Sorry to steal baby away again, but the boys are waiting to take pictures.” 
“Just take her!” Hana shooed you away with an exaggerated roll of her eyes. “It’s not like I miss my best friend or anything.” 
“Oh, don’t be dramatic.” you poked Hana’s sides and linked your arm with Taehyung’s so he could lead you away. 
You found the other five men already taking silly pictures at the Jack in The Box themed photobooth. As soon as you approached the rowdy lot, you were made to stand in the middle so the seven of you could take silly and cute pictures together. As much as you were having fun, and you were really happy to celebrate Hoseok’s big night, there was still something missing. 
Which made you pout.  
“What’s wrong, doll?” Jimin asked you as you stood to the side to let each of the men take individual pictures with the man of the hour. 
“Yoongi should be here.” you pouted harder, crossing your arms like a scolded child. “I’m worried about him.” 
“Hyung is fine, I promise.” Jimin assured you. “I visited him as soon as he texted us about not feeling well this morning.”
“Oh?” 
When Yoongi texted the group chat to let you know he wouldn't make it to Hoseok’s party –even if he had already picked out what clothes to wear– you were in the middle of a lecture, so you couldn’t call him to make sure he was okay. You had texted during your lunch break and he assured you his fever was controlled, but he didn’t know what he had, so it was better to stay home and avoid the risk of the other members catching whatever it was. 
But knowing Jimin had paid him a visit made you feel a lot better. Jimin wore his heart on his sleeve, and as mischievous as he was, he couldn’t lie to you. If Yoongi was in bad shape, he wouldn’t even be at the party right now, let alone having fun the way he was. 
“Whatever he has, it’s going to go away soon.” Jimin assured you. “Unless he’s sick because you told him you’re working with Doyun again, and in this case you should–”
“Oh shush!” you waved the air to stop yet another complaint about that subject. “If you must know, Doyun-ssi is dating someone already.”
Jimin snorted and you rolled your eyes. “You have been dating us for eight months–”
“No I haven’t–”
“–and that never stopped him before!”
You had been officially their girlfriend for two months now, but apparently Jimin counted from your first kiss until now as dating. The subject was dropped when Jungkook finished taking his pictures with Hoseok and it was now your turn. 
Hobi had the remote control in his hand and he pressed it each time he wanted to capture a pose. You pulled funny faces, made cool poses and even kissed in a picture or two. All of the photos were being printed by staff and at the end of the party you could pick them up to take them home. 
When you finally let the photobooth be used by the other guests, Hoseok was stuck to you, leading you back to the dance floor and near the DJ stage. As you moved around, a lot of peers stopped the two of you to say praise words to your boyfriend and introduce themselves to you or say hello.
“Are you a little more relaxed now?” you checked in with the man once it was just the two of you again. 
“Yeah, I think everything is going well.” he nodded with a blinding smile, pushing his glasses to rest on top of his head so you could see his eyes. 
“It’s going more than well, everyone went crazy for the bits of the songs you played.” 
“As long as you like them, I don’t care about the rest.” 
You knew he was exaggerating, but it still made you smile. 
“I like them most of all.” you nodded. “Let me show you how much.” 
You threw your arms around Hoseok’s neck, finding his lips with yours. He was smiling as you kissed him, pushing his tongue past your slightly parted lips and letting you taste the whiskey on his mouth. His hands were warm against your naked back, one of them sliding to your ass, uncaring of all the cameras and people around. 
And if he didn’t care, neither did you. 
Your hands slipped into his hair, the longest it's ever been, and you knew he was letting it grow for his concert in Chicago; both things that excited you greatly. When you pulled, Hobi groaned into your mouth, the sound muffled by the loud music, and bit your bottom lip hard enough to make you whimper. 
“Are you coming home with me tonight?” he asked with a new squeeze to your ass cheek. 
“Mhm, sorry.” you shook your head, wiping your lipstick off his lips with your thumb. “Gonna go over to see Yoongi.” 
“That’s a better idea.” Hobi agreed with a nod, kissing the corner of your lips. “I’ll bring Jack over tomorrow, is that okay?” 
“Of course. I’m actually really excited to meet him.”
“You’re going to fall in love with him.” 
You chuckled, hands rubbing Hoseok’s chest after untangling them from his hair. “For Jimin’s sake, I hope I don’t.” 
Hobi’s laugh was so pretty and happy you wished you could put it in a box and keep it in your pocket. As much as you wanted to be stuck with him the whole night, repeat over and over again how proud you were of him and how sure of how far he would go, it was still his party, so he had to network and mingle with his other friends and guests. 
With one last quick to his lips, you sent him on his way, promising you’d have more kisses saved for tomorrow; and for the rest of his life. 
Looking around to look for your best friend so you could hang out, you found her by the bar area. But Hana seemed so absorbed in her new boyfriend that you didn’t want to get in the way. Jungkook and Taehyung were dancing like two crazy kids on the dance floor and Seokjin was at a high table talking to Bang PD-nim. 
It was when you met a pair of dragon eyes that you walked ahead and climbed the bleacher style steps to join Namjoon at the top. 
“There you are!” you spoke over the music, sitting in between his legs as he parted them for you. “Why aren’t you dancing?” 
“I need a couple more of these to dance voluntarily at a party.” he chuckled behind you, deep and raspy, a big hand rubbing up and down your arm. “Wanna try some?” 
You knew he was talking about his drink, and it would be weird if you said no. Turning around until your knees knocked with his, you held Namjoon by the neck and kissed his lips, sucking the bottom one into your mouth. You still tasted his alcohol, and he probably tasted Hoseok’s too. 
“It’s good.” you offered him a cheeky smile, getting back to your original position. 
Namjoon seemed satisfied with that, resting his glass next to him and pushing your hair out of your neck so he could rub it lovingly. The man squeezed the back of your neck with his cold fingers, which was much appreciated. Then you felt his lips on your shoulder and nose on your throat. 
“You smell like us.” he told you and you laughed. 
“Spoken like a true pack alpha.” 
“Hm. You’d have a mate mark by now if I was one.” 
“How do you know that term?!” you squealed, turning around once more to see his sheepish look. 
“We used to browse the internet to see what people were saying about us, just after we debuted.” he shrugged and your smile only grew. “We read fanfics sometimes.”
“Oh my god.”
“Yoongi used to write them too.” 
“You’re fucking with me?!” 
Namjoon sent you an amused look for your curse word and maybe kissing them was getting you slightly drunk by default, making the curses spill more easily. 
“Wait, did he write member x member fanfics?” you chirped, really wishing he was around so you could ask him.

Getting Back Into the Swing of Things (extra!)
Or, You've fallen back in love with your ex (and his boyfriends, too!)
Ot7 x reader (fluff, a few years later, mentions of pregnancy and babies)
A/N: until I finish the next chapter of Ride With You, I'm gonna upload other stuff I had been working on <333
"Ah, honey, you're home!" Jin smiled widely at you from the kitchen, a bowl propped up on his hip. "I've made the most delicious foods for you, come sit at the counter." He said, gesturing to the shiny marble countertop. You smiled, taking a step towards him.
"But she can't eat without washing her hands!" Taehyung responded, beckoning you towards the bathroom. "Come wash your hands before you eat, dove." He called your attention towards him instead and you turned towards him, raising an eyebrow in amusement.
Before you could even say a word, your attention was pulled into another direction, Hoseok taking your hand and spinning you towards soft chairs, making you giggle. "No, angel, come sit with me on the patio."
Namjoon heaved a big sigh, standing in the middle of all their childishness and rubbing the brow of his nose. His feet tapped against the stone flooring of the department store as he scolded them. "Boys, please, we're here to get lighting fixtures for the nursery, not to play house."
"But Joonie, you can't tell me this kitchen unit doesn't look incredible." Jin said, stepping out of the model kitchen display. "This color countertop would be perfect for our house, wouldn't it?" He stepped up to Namjoon, placing a hand on his shoulder, begging with his eyes for him to agree.
Namjoon leveled him with an unimpressed look. "You try to buy a new kitchen everytime we come to IKEA. We're here for one thing and one thing only."
"I don't know, I'm with Hoseok hyung on this one," Jungkook piped up, feet propped up on the low table as he reclined on the model patio set, getting comfy on the cushions like it was his own. "I think the baby would like a comfy patio couch."
"The baby won't even be able to sit for like, four months." Jimin scoffed. "Anyways, if we're taking anything, I think it should be this rocking chair. Look at how comfy it is!" He practically melted into the chair, sinking into the soft pillows.
"We already have a rocking chair. You picked it out yourself. We don't need another rocking chair." Namjoon stated, trying his best to keep from going home with twenty more things the house didn't need.
"I think we definitely need more paint." Taehyung said, finally done messing around with the fake bathroom. "The mural we're painting is bigger than we thought, and we're low on forest green."
"Alright, you guys go get more paint, and only paint, and me, Jin, and Yoongi..." Namjoon spun in a circle. "Where's Yoongi?"
"I can go look for him," you piped up. Immediately, the boys were shaking their heads, Jungkook motioning for you join him on the patio couch.
"You shouldn't be doing too much walking, bunny, you'll put too much stress on your ankles." He chided, taking your hands and pressing kisses to your knuckles.
You stayed standing, however, rolling your eyes. "I'll be fine. I've barely done any walking in the last couple months. The store isn't that big, and I'll sit once we get home."
"Still, you shouldn't go on your own." Jimin frowned in concern, hands raising to hold your hips, one moving up to rub your belly. It hadn't been long since you started showing but it was quickly becoming obvious. You'd been holding back on buying too many maternity clothes so early, though the boys seemed bent on buying you a whole wardrobe's worth. The sundress you were wearing mostly concealed your bump, but your loves seemed to focus on it no matter what you wore.
"Once I find Yoongi, I won't be alone." You argued back playfully. You pecked him on the lips and pulled away from him while he was stunned. That was something you loved, that even after dating all these years, you could still kiss them and they would react like it was the first time. "Good luck finding light fixtures!" You chirped, practically skipping away down the aisles before they could chase after you.
You strolled down the halls, idly humming and rubbing your belly, looking at all the things being sold. It was crazy how there were so many items in each unit, it was like everything someone could ever want in a room was here. Wall mounted decorations, various rugs, you even saw small garden fountains in their outdoor section. You had to keep yourself from going and just watching the water drip, the serenity would keep you trapped for hours.
Where was Yoongi? You wondered, walking around and turning corner after corner, no sign of him. He had been very hands on in the construction of the baby's room, so you figured the hardware or electrical sections would be his most likely location. But he wasn't there, and considering the other boys weren't in the lighting aisle either, you guessed they had gotten distracted again on the way there.
Giggling to yourself, you continued on. Maybe Yoongi was by the baby furniture, where the cribs and mobiles were, he had gotten pretty hands on with the crib, insisting on making one himself, but you didn't find him there either, just more things you added to your mental wishlist.
You were quickly becoming unsure of where he was and you considered going to find the other guys and giving up, or even just calling Yoongi, but you kept going, checking one more aisle.
And there he was, by the IKEA stuffed sharks. You sighed in relief upon seeing him, shaking your head with a smile. "And I thought you were staying on task." You teased, walking up to him.
He didn't turn around to look at you as you walked towards him, just wrapping an arm around your waist when you stood next to him. His eyes were fixed on the plastic ones of the IKEA shark's, as if it was telling him something telepathically.
"Do you think she would like a shark?" He said, quietly.
You smiled widely, thinking of your baby in her crib with a stuffed shark's three times her size. "I think she would love it." You responded just as softly, leaning your head onto his shoulder. "But then again, she'll probably love anything until she's about two or three. Then she'll develop her own personality and likes and interests."
He let out a small puff of air, a sound you had come to recognize as his way of chuckling. "When you say like that, it feels like it'll go by so fast." He murmured.
"It might," You shrugged. "Or maybe it'll be a crawl. Or a combination of both. Either way we'll be doing it together." You turned your face up towards him, and he turned to look at you finally, mirroring the same soft look in your eyes.
He pressed a kiss to your forehead, his hand moving to cup your stomach. "Do you think we could have one?"
"A baby? We are having one."
"No, I know, but I mean like..." he stopped, choosing his words carefully. "One thats ours. One that looks like you and me."
"You have a long line," you chuckled, thinking of how the others had wanted the same thing. "Taehyung keeps saying, 'when we have a baby' this and 'our baby' that. And Jin is already planning to add more rooms to the house."
"I can wait." He smiled, his cheeks and eyes soft.
"Then yes, I think we can have one." You nodded, picking up a shark. "Eventually." You tucked the shark under your arm, taking your phone to call the guys and see if they were ready to leave. Yoongi took the shark from you and held your free hand, walking you towards the front. You looked up at him and smiled, phone to your ear as you listened to the dial tone. You had been surrounded with nothing but love for so long and were soon going to share it with another loving being, one growing in your belly. Sometimes you worried you would mess up somehow.
Hoseok picked up the phone, loud laughter coming through the line as they messed around wherever in the store they were. "Everything okay, angel?" He said, immediately worring over you. Even the sound of his voice coming through the phone reassured something deep in your soul along with the laughter of your loves. You knew that no matter what you'd be fine.
Because you were with them.

my house of stone, your ivy grows - yoongi x reader
chapter fifteen table of contents masterlist join the taglist discord
Tumblr media
summary: yoongi carried himself with a sense of pride within himself and his belongings. he worked hard to get to where he was- ethically or not, it made him the man he is today. his latest toy, a young college girl from america, will become his magnum opus. he just needs to work out the kinks.

taglist: @allamericanuniverse @llallaaa, @frieschan
The villa was extravagant under the dark, early morning sky. It was a very modern design- sleek with plenty of windows overlooking the sea. The outdoor lights made it seem like a mansion surrounded by trees and nature. It looked absolutely marvelous. 
Looking into the backseat, Yoongi saw Kiwo laid out across the various packed bags and blankets fast asleep. It had been a long drive, nearly 4 hours, and thankfully Kiwo slept through most of it. They all had to stop multiple times throughout the trip because Jimin had to pee or Taehyung wanted snacks. In order to keep up with each other, every car in the caravan had to stop. Yoongi easily could’ve shaved an hour and a half off the drive time if he was allowed to just make a break for it. 
The sound of the driver’s door slamming shut rose Kiwo out of her sleep. She let out a slight moan before sitting back in her seat. Yoongi eventually opened her door and picked her up bridal style, carrying her into the house. 
The inside looked more homey and cozy than the outside. The first floor had an open living room and kitchen, with two bedrooms and a bathroom. Upstairs was two more bedrooms and a bathroom, alongside a small library and a game room. Yoongi took a random bedroom that the others hadn’t picked yet- a pretty, light blue bedroom with a lovely view of the ocean. He quickly laid Kiwo down in the bed, covering her up and tucking her in as she cuddled into the softness of the pillows.  
“Jeez, Jin hyung! This place is awesome!” Jungkook exclaimed, his voice from the game room echoing down the stairs. Multiple shushes were then heard. 
“Kookie, the baby’s sleeping!” Hoseok said jokingly, referring to Kiwo passed out in the bed. 
Jimin frowned upon realizing Hoseok didn’t mean him. He was the baby, not Kiwo. Kiwo was just an idiot. 
Once everyone settled in for the night, Yoongi heard a faint knock on the door before it cracked open. He squinted in the darkness trying to make out who it was. 
“Hyungie?” Ah, it was Jimin. “Are you sleeping?”
”Yes,” Yoongi said, getting up out of bed to go talk to Jimin. He didn’t want to wake up Kiwo, and also hoped in the time the conversation took that she would at least give him some room on the bed.
The two stood in front of the bedroom door, Yoongi carefully closing it behind him. He could tell Jimin was nervous- the young man had his head down and was fiddling with his fingers. From the faint light in the hallway, Yoongi could slightly make out a very thoughtful expression on Jimin’s face. 
“Do you- do- ah,” Jimin chuckled and cleared his throat. “I was just… I was wondering where you got Kiwo’s pacifiers.”
Yoongi blinked, not exactly understanding what Jimin wanted. 
“The store.”
”No, like-” Jimin threw his hands up slightly. “That type. I want one.”
Jimin had used pacifiers in the past. Typically they were the plastic ones with cute dinosaurs or rainbows on them designed for babies. Kiwo’s, on the other hand, had a softer silicone shield and were plain solid colors. They were very subtle, and Kiwo quite enjoyed them. 
“I have a green one that Kiwo never uses, would that help? We can’t exactly go to the store right now.” Yoongi suggested. Jimin hesitated before nodding his head yes. 
Kiwo woke up early in the morning, waking Yoongi up soon after. He rolled over and hugged Kiwo, mumbling something about going back to sleep in his half asleep haze. Squirming out of his grip, Kiwo sat up and reached for Yoongi’s phone on the table. She looked back at Yoongi, waiting for him to say something about her being naughty, but he remained lifeless in the bed. 
“I’ll call the cops.”
”Go ‘head, hun.”
Kiwo just stared blankly at Yoongi- she wasn’t exactly sure what to do now that her threat didn’t work. 
“I want juice,” she complained. While she was thirsty, Kiwo mostly didn’t want to be awake and alone in the strange room. 
Yoongi groaned before rolling over. 
“You’re a big girl, you can get it yourself.”
”But I’m not. I’m a baby.” She began to yank the covers off of Yoongi. Yoongi, in return, wrapped his arms around her again and held her close to him. 
“And right now babies sleep. It’s too early for baby time.” Closing her eyes, Kiwo let out a sigh. 
She stared up at Yoongi’s peaceful face. How smooth and soft his face was, the way his eyelashes fluttered ever so often…
He still looked intimidating even in his most relaxed state. 
Kiwo stared at his lips. They were pouted slightly, with small breaths escaping through his lips. They looked so soft and plump. 
She could just kiss them right now. 
Bringing her face closer to his, Kiwo could feel his soft breaths on her own lips. She continued to study his face before closing her eyes and-
“YOONGI HYUNG! IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP!” Taehyung burst through the door, playing some pop song on his phone as he danced at the foot of the bed. The covers were soon pulled off of them, leaving them cold from the chill of the fall air. 
“I’m going to kill him,” Yoongi mumbled. He reluctantly rolled out of bed before pushing Taehyung back out the door. The music could still be heard from the other side of the door. 
A rose-tinted blush bloomed across Kiwo’s face as it dawned on her what she almost done- and what she was almost caught doing. She could only stare at Yoongi from across the room, mouth agape and eyes wide. 
Yoongi stared at her with a soft smile. He slowly approached the bed before sitting down. He had a glimmer of mischief in his eyes. 
“Wanna continue what you were trying to do?” Yoongi asked with a shit eating grin. Eyes growing larger and blush darkening, Kiwo threw a pillow at Yoongi’s face before rushing out of the room. 
The sounds of thuds broke Kiwo out of her trance. She spent the past 10 minutes taking each piece of cereal out of her bowl and sorting them on the table by color. She then made them into individual stacks based on their size. Yoongi just stared on from the other side of the table, making a mental note to not give Kiwo dry cereal next time. 
Kiwo turned around in her chair to see Hoseok and Jimin coming down the stairs. Jimin didn’t have the happiest look on his face and had his arms crossed. The thuds had to have been from him stomping down the stairs, Kiwo thought. She was about to return to her cereal when she noticed something green on Jimin’s face. Doing a double take, Kiwo could now see that Jimin had a pacifier in his mouth. 
Her pacifier, to be exact. 
It was sage green, one of Kiwo’s favorite colors. She never used it; she was saving it so it would match her outfit. The pink, blue, and white ones were used much more often as those were the colors Yoongi usually dressed her in. 
Still, it hurt to see him using something of hers. What made it worse in her mind was that it was Jimin. He did nothing for him to deserve something of Kiwo’s. She casted a glare in Yoongi’s direction. 
“Taehyung wake you guys up, too?” Hoseok asked. 
“I did no such thing!” Taehyung shouted from the couch. He did, in fact, try to wake everyone up that morning. 
Ignoring the conversation at hand, all Kiwo could focus on was Jimin and that stupid pacifier. She glared daggers at him, trying to explode him with her mind. Jimin must have caught on to what Kiwo was thinking, as he gave a smug smirk behind the pacifier shield. 
Bastard knew what he was doing, Kiwo thought. 
“Eat.” Yoongi interrupted Kiwo’s internal thoughts by grabbing her chin. He pointed to the stacks and piles of cereal in front of her before stealing one piece himself to eat. Kiwo gave one last look towards Jimin, who only snickered before walking towards the stairs again. 
The morning passed slowly, with everyone occasionally coming into the common areas to socialize before heading back to their respective bedrooms to relax. Everyone really just considered this time their vacation and time to catch up on sleep. 
Or, at least, almost everyone. 
Jungkook finally left his bedroom only to walk out in a suit. Everyone stared at the young man confused, thinking they were all in agreement that this was a vacation. While the rest of them were in comfy pajamas, Jungkook was dressed to the nines. 
“What? You people act like we don’t have jobs.” Jungkook took a seat next to Hoseok on the couch. 
“Because we’re on vacation,” Seokjin said, “And you are too.”
”Not this week. As much as I’d love to relax, we’ve got a huge shipment coming in today that I should help with.”
”I should, too. But I’m not.” Taehyung tagged on. Currently he was spread across the floor, staring up at the ceiling. Everyone was beyond trying to figure out what went on in his head at this point. 
“And I have classes, so I can’t stay here forever.” 
“Since when do you go to your classes?” Hoseok teased, giggling while lightly hitting Jungkook in the arm. 
“I wanna go to school,” Kiwo said sadly, staring down at her feet. Next to her, Yoongi could only roll his eyes. 
As Jungkook left the house, Kiwo could only focus on what of her old life she missed. Everything was looking up until she met Jungkook and Yoongi. Now, she was locked up with nothing to really do besides be with Yoongi. 
It was a love-hate life she currently had. On one hand, she loved the attention she was getting. Kiwo never really got much attention from her family, friends, or romantically. It was a nice change of pace, being wanted and all. Everyone was nice to her, or almost everyone. No one felt like they were being fake- all the guys seemed to genuinely like her. 
Meanwhile, everything changed, and Kiwo hates change. She was taken against her will to be here. Kiwo was becoming more social while in college and independent, two things that she was proud of. Now, she was shut in and forced to depend on Yoongi. Not to mention that she was in a foreign country and surrounded by a language she didn’t know. 
“Kiwo!” Hoseok said, waving his hand in front of Kiwo’s face. Blinking, Kiwo came back to reality after being lost in thought for too long. She looked over at Hoseok wide-eyes to see what he wanted. 
“Do you want to color with Jimin and Taehyung?” 
Kiwo looked down at Jimin and Taehyung spread out on the floor, multiple crayons and coloring books surrounding them. Really, she didn’t want to do anything that involved Jimin. She just observed the mess before her until Taehyung pulled out a coloring book for her. 
Hello Kitty. Her weakness. 
The three colored while the others went about with the rest of the unpacking. It was a lot of in and out of the house while occasionally making sure no one killed each other with a crayon. 
Kiwo reached over to grab a purple crayon by Jimin so she could finish her flower. It was a pretty lily that Kiwo was coloring as a mix of pink and purple. She could barely mark up the paper before it was roughly ripped out of her hand by Jimin. Furrowing her eyebrows, she looked in Jimin’s direction to see him coloring away with her crayon. 
“I’m going to go to the bathroom, I’ll be right back!” Taehyung said, getting up off the floor and leaving Kiwo and Jimin to their crayon affair. 
“I was using that.” Kiwo said, pointing to the crayon in Jimin’s hand. 
“I had it first before you took it.” Jimin stuck his tongue out at Kiwo, causing Kiwo to let out a huff of annoyance. 
“It was on the floor!”
”Kiwo! Do not raise your voice.” Yoongi said as he re-entered the living room. Eyes wide, Kiwo could not understand why she was being yelled at for Jimin being mean. 
Kiwo snarled and reached over to grab the crayon from Jimin’s hand. Jimin only held on tighter before pushing Kiwo away. 
“Yoongi hyung! Kiwo’s trying to take my crayon!”
”He took it from me first!”
Yoongi looked over at the sight of Kiwo pulling at the crayon in Jimin’s hand while Jimin tried pushing her away. He could only sigh as he approached to try and fix the situation. 
Just then, the crayon snapped in half. Jimin looked in disbelief while Kiwo was just happy to have some of the purple crayon in her own hand to finish the flower. 
Only to realize she had the butt end. She couldn’t possibly color with that. Angry, she chucked the crayon at Jimin’s stupid face with a huff. Kiwo crossed her arms in annoyance. 
With impeccable aim, the crayon managed to hit Jimin right in his eye. The older bursted into tears while he held his watering eye in pain. Yoongi grabbed Kiwo by the underarms, lifting her up and off the floor. She flailed about in protest until she ended up over Yoongi’s shoulder. A swift swat was placed on her bottom, followed by another, and another until Kiwo lost count. 
Yoongi carried her over to the staircase, placing her on the landing three steps from the bottom floor. She pouted as her butt touched the carpet. Kiwo couldn’t even focus on what Yoongi was saying as she looked across the room at Jimin, who was now being soothed by Taehyung and her sage green pacifier. 
Bastard.

Tumblr media
in business, in life (silvio ricci x oc [hyacinth])
Event: Ikemen Prince gift exchange hosted by @ikemenlibrary and @sunnyikemen || Hugehugehuge thank you to these two for being such amazing organizers and guiding me through my first-ever gift exchange <3
This was written for the lovely @tacogawa ! This is something I wouldn’t normally write, so I hope I did your OC and Silvio justice- i had so much fun and inspiration writing this, plz enjoy!!
Summary: Silvio claims he’s the best businessman in all of Rhodiolite and Benitoite combined. After finalizing an investment plan with his fiance in her bookstore, she challenges that claim in a series of business competitions!
Notes/Warnings/Tags: Established relationship (Silvio and Hyacinth are engaged) + Found family with Leon, Clavis, Jin, and Nokto aka some of the other princes that were requested + my attempts at humor + fluff at the end; EXTREMEEELLYY minor spoilers for Silvio’s backstory, it’s only there if you squint!
Word Count: ~2.7k
Tumblr media
“There’s one last thing I need to show you,” Hyacinth declared, close to finishing up the tour of her bookshop. She stopped right in front of an unassuming door that said STAFF ONLY.
“I don’t need to see your supply closet, Hyacinth,” Silvio said brashly.
“But-”
“I trust that you know how to spend your money on cleaning expenses and your facilities.”
“Oh,” she blinked. “Why can’t you ever give a straightforward compliment?”
“It’s like you always say: I’m hopeless.” A ghost of a smile could be seen upon Silvio’s lips.
Hyacinth playfully rolled her eyes at him, “At least you’re self-aware.” She gestured to the door, “This is not my supply closet, though. It’s, well, let me just-” Slowly opening the door, she walked inside the room and turned on the light switch. Silvio followed closely behind.
His eyes scanned the room which was filled with rows of display cases containing gems of all colors and sizes, reflecting light from the chandeliers dangling overhead. Some were unrefined, but many of them were polished, placed within jewelry as the center stones of rings or hanging onto necklaces and bracelets. “Not bad,” he said. He held some unrefined sapphire in his hand and squinted. “These are…Obsidianite, aren’t they? All of them are.”
Hyacinth nodded.
“How did you manage to obtain these?”
“Remember how my parents were Benitoitian pirates? I still have some connections, some old friends who provide me with a…variety of goods, some would say.”
“That’s one hell of a way to stimulate the economy.” Silvio ran his hands along the display cases, “Always full of surprises, ain’t ya?”
“I just thought you should know now since you’re actually planning on moving forward with investing,” Hyacinth explained. “If, somehow, I get caught, I don’t want you to be in hot water too. Not as a prince of Benitoite.”
He snorted. “Is that really why you haven’t told me about this? If I’m investing, there’s no way you’d get caught, and even if you did, I’d bribe them into silence.”
Hyacinth let out a breath of relief. “So, really, this is okay?”
“Business is business. Though, this ain’t the way I’d do it.”
“Oh yeah?” Hyacinth crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame as she watched her partner walk through the room. “How would the great Prince Silvio do it?”
“First of all,” he picked up a necklace with a sparkling light pink diamond, laying it on his palm to see how it would reflect the light. “I would store these better. The light and humidity here can degrade some of them over time.”
Hyacinth sighed. “I know that. You think I have enough money to get full-scale climate control here?”
“Second of all, the reason you’re not making enough money for that is because this is a bookshop,” he continued, ignoring his fiance. “I would auction these off instead of running this store underground. You’re not gonna reach the right audience by selling these here.”
“I’m not trying to sell to rich strangers. I like forging personal relationships with my buyers. I want these gems and jewelry to go to the people who will take care of them.”
“You’re not making any money like that.” Silvio put the diamond necklace around Hyacinth’s neck and whispered into her ear. “This is why I’m the better business person out of the two of us.”
Hyacinth stepped forward and turned around to face Silvio. “No way!”
Silvio smirked, ignoring Hyacinth’s words while admiring how beautiful she looked with a diamond necklace that matched the engagement ring he gave her.
“Silvio, you are not checking me out right now!”
He merely shrugged.
“Okay,” she paused as the gears turned in her head. “I challenge you to a barter battle,” she said, pointing her index finger at him. Hyacinth’s eyes flitted around the room. “Whoever can trade up to the most valuable item-“ her eyes landed on a pencil next to Silvio. She grabbed the pencil from the table and shoved it towards Silvio “-from this pencil, is the better businessperson.”
He took the pencil from her, unimpressed. “Y’know you’re talking to the number one negotiator in all of Benitoite and Rhodiolite, right?”
“Do you accept my challenge or not?”
He sighed. “You know you’re gonna lose, right?”
“We’ll see about that,” Hyacinth replied. “Okay. If we’re doing this, though, we need to do it properly. We need a third party to determine the value of our final goods.” She tapped her chin thoughtfully, “Ah, yes! Jin and Leon should be in town later in the evening. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind.”
“Those two aren’t qualified to judge-”
“You’re scared to lose, aren’t you?” Hyacinth asked, taunting him.
“As if, woman. Even with their biased judgment, I’ll still win,” he smirked, flashing a cocky smile.
“May the best businessperson win!” Hyacinth exclaimed triumphantly.
+++
“After our long deliberation,” Jin started, “we are now ready to declare a winner.”
Hyacinth couldn’t stand still, the air around her was charged with anticipation. Meanwhile, Silvio stood still next to her, his arms crossed with a cocky smile on his face.
“Before we do that though, we just wanna say that we thought both of you did a great job and that the final monetary value was very high from each final item, much more than we expected,” Leon stated cordially. “The winner of this barter battle is Hyacinth!”
Silvio’s jaw dropped momentarily, stunned into silence.
Hyacinth grinned, “Aw, thank you so much, guys. Not for choosing me as the winner, but for taking the time out of your busy schedules to do this.”
“Of course, Hyacinth! You’re family, we’re glad to do anything we can. Plus, we haven’t been able to see you as much ever since Silvio took you away,” Leon teased.
“Yeah, it’s not fair that he gets to have you all to himself now,” Jin frowned. “He better be treating you right.”
“Absolutely. He treats me like I’m royalty.”
“How did Hyacinth win? What was her item?” Silvio asked in disbelief.
“Given that his brothers are also royalty, then I don’t think that’s a good thing,” Leon laughed, ignoring Silvio.
“Um, he treats me like a queen?” Hyacinth tried correcting herself.
“His mother was a queen, remember? That didn’t pan out well,” Jin added.
“I’m right here, dammit!” Silvio exclaimed. “Hyacinth, what the hell was your item?”
A soft smile painted her lips, “Let me show you.” With everyone following her, she opened the door to her bookshop. They walked past shelves and shelves and arrived at the back corner. Silvio was met with a deep purple rolled-arm sofa, one that was definitely not here before. Its arms were gilded in gold and the velvet was fit for royalty. “I managed to get some seating for the space. I’ve gotten so much customer feedback about having a more comfortable space to read, so I managed to trade for this.”
Trying to hide his pride in Hyacinth, Silvio opened his mouth to speak but then closed it.
“Yeah, we ultimately decided Hyacinth as the winner even though your item had a larger estimated value. It’s because she keeps her customers in mind. We thought that was the most important aspect of business,” Leon clarified.
“I knew I traded to the highest value,” Silvio retorted. He turned to Hyacinth, clicking his tongue, “I could’ve just bought you a sofa. As many as you wanted. As many as your customers wanted.”
She shook her head. “These sofas are actually from a customer’s family. They’re priceless.”
Silvio only sighed as Hyacinth stared at the furniture fondly.
Jin let out a hearty chuckle, “Your business strengths complement each other well. You make up for each other’s weaknesses. The two of you are great business partners and life partners.”
Hearing Jin’s words, Hyacinth grinned widely at Silvio. He couldn’t help but smile back at her.
“Thank you for being our entertainment for the day, we were able to kill two birds with one stone! While we followed the two of you around, we were also observing all the townspeople and places today. Rhodolite feels like a major trading hub whenever Silvio’s in town,” Leon said. “Thanks for that.”
“Money follows me wherever I go,” Silvio said smugly.
“The results of our competition tell me otherwise,” Hyacinth mumbled under her breath.
Silvio’s eye twitched in irritation and laughter erupted from Jin and Leon. “Take care, you two. We gotta head back to the castle. We’ll see you soon,” Leon said, bidding the pair farewell.
Silvio and Hyacinth watched as the two princes of Rhodolite walked away. “The only reason you won is because they’re softies! Jin and Leon don’t know business,” Silvio complained.
Hyacinth hummed dismissively. “You said you’d still win despite that though.”
“I traded up to the highest value item. Is that not winning?
“Not to Jin and Leon. And to me,” Hyacinth snickered. “We could have a rematch if you’d like, say, with Clavis and Nokto as the judges. A new challenge, perhaps.”
“Those judges know commerce a little better. What would this new challenge be?”
“Whoever has the most sales in a day wins. I’m sure you’re an investor in some other nearby bookstore. Be an employee for the day.”
He scoffed, “My days of working for someone else are behind me.”
“Well, do you have any better ideas? You’re not scared again, are you?”
“Again? Since when was I afraid of any business challenge? I never was and I sure as hell am not now. I accept.”
“Great! Clavis and Nokto could monitor us to see our customer interactions as well. They can determine the winner holistically,” Hyacinth said cheerfully.
+++
Silvio approached the sign that said ROSE PETAL PAGES. The urge to kick the door down was raging through him, but he thought about what Hyacinth had always told him: “What if you break the door? It’s gonna be other people that pay for it…not everyone has money to throw away like you.” He sighed and glared at the door. Begrudgingly reaching for the doorknob, Silvio shuddered at the rare feeling of having to open a door.
The disgust on his face stayed. “Prince Silvio?” the merchant at the sales desk greeted him. “H-How are you doing? We have a new shipment of the finest books from-“
“I’m here to sell, not buy. You can take the day off, I’ll do your job for ya today. I’ll pay ya too.”
“W-What?”
“I’m here on important business. Take the day off or risk losing your top investor.”
“Y-yes, Prince Silvio.” Hurriedly picking up his bags, he rushed out of the door.
“Are all your investees this scared of you?” A voice asked from behind a shelf.
“Clavis,” Silvio greeted the purple-haired prince dryly.
“A little birdie told me you’d be at a bookstore in town.”
“Yeah, and that same birdie told me you and Nokto would be better judges than those other brothers of yours.”
“Indeed, business expertise does fall more under the domain of the foreign affairs faction. Hyacinth did mention that you felt last week’s challenge wasn’t being assessed objectively.”
“It wasn’t,” Silvio replied curtly as he walked behind the sales counter to evaluate the money box.
“Did you try to bribe Jin and Leon into naming you the winner? Prince Silvio of Benitoite begging at the feet of Rhodiolitian princes — what a headline!”
“Hyacinth bribed them with attention before I could get to them with money,” Silvio grumbled.
“Well, I can’t blame them. She seems busier than us these days. Luke always complains about her lack of presence these days.”
Silvio was always aware of Hyacinth’s relationship with the princes, all of them acting like her older brothers. He sighed, “How’d you know I’d be at this bookstore?”
“Just because you’re investing in private businesses doesn’t mean that information is private,” Clavis smiled slyly.
“Fair,” Silvio replied as he opened the money box and dropped in some money for the worker he just told to leave.
“It seems you’re paying that man more than three times his daily wage,” Clavis observed.
Silvio scoffed as he shut the money box, “What sort of patron do you take me for?”
+++
“Good morning, Hyacinth. What lovely books are you selling today?”
“Nokto, it’s been so long! Thank you for indulging me and judging these silly business games.”
“I’d indulge you anytime,” he said with a wink.
“Uh huh,” Hyacinth deadpanned. “I have a book just for you.” She grabbed a tattered book from under the desk, some of its pages falling out. “It’s been gathering dust, waiting for you.”
Nokto’s face instantly turned sour as he looked at the cover. The almanac’s title was Growing Bellpeppers: From Planting to Harvest. “Ugh, I think I’m gonna throw up.”
Hyacinth laughed, “Go throw up outside then!”
“Please, you’re not getting rid of me that easily.”
“But you’re gonna drive away all of the female customers,” Hyacinth whined.
“Or I’ll bring them in.”
Hyacinth stared at Nokto in mock disgust as he grinned back. The two of them almost immediately erupted in laughter.
“Don’t mind me, I’ll just watch you work as I lounge on your new, luxurious couch. Jin and Leon told me about the look on Silvio’s face when they said you were the winner. I’d love to see it myself.”
“Silvio and I expect you to judge us fairly,” you said, giving him a pointed look.
“Sure, sure,” Nokto replied as he put his arms behind his head, sinking comfortably into the sofa. “Anything for the future princess of Benitoite.”
+++
“For his shrewd marketing and patronage of his businesses, Nokto and I have declared Silvio as the sole winner of this…little game of yours,” Clavis announced.
“As expected,” Silvio acknowledged.
“No! Don’t tell me it’s because I showed Nokto that book,” Hyacinth feigned offense.
“Unfortunately, no. It was actually because you hurt my feelings, saying I would drive all the ladies away. Oh, how you scorn me,” Nokto replied sarcastically.
Hyacinth just shook her head with a smile. “As much as Hyacinth is a great communicator, Silvio just had more sales. He was very clever, using his princely status to draw in a larger crowd.”
“Ah, nothing beats the prince privilege,” Hyacinth noted in defeat. “If only I had that.”
Nokto shrugged, “Maybe, but you could’ve used your future princess privilege to draw in a crowd. I’m so sad that you couldn’t take my hint.”
She sighed, “I guess you’re right. Silvio actually won this one fair and square.”
“Damn right I did,” Silvio replied.
“At least I lose with grace!”
“The two of you complement each other well. Silvio is savvy with negotiations and the handling of money, while Hyacinth is incredibly attuned to her customers’ needs and efficient in organization,” Clavis concluded.
“Leon and Jin mentioned something like that too,” Silvio mumbled.
+++
“Thank you, my love, for entertaining these games of mine,” Hyacinth said as she leaned into Silvio’s shoulder, wrapping an arm around his torso where they sat next to each other in the moving carriage.
“It was my pleasure,” Silvio said quietly as he ruffled Hyacinth’s auburn hair. “You held your own against me, I’m impressed.”
“We’re tied, one to one, I think I did more than just ‘holding my own.’”
“Headstrong and savvy,” Silvio observed, “This is why I’m gonna marry you.”
“Ah, so you’re just marrying me because I’m a good business partner?” Hyacinth teased.
“I’m marrying you because you’re my life partner. You make up for everything I can’t even imagine doing or being- not just when it comes to business,” Silvio said sincerely. “Sure, you push me to be a better businessman, but you push me to be a better person too.”
“I love you,” Hyacinth muttered into Silvio’s chest, inhaling his salty, metallic scent that always reminded her of her childhood — the sandy ports of Benitoite, filled with barter and brine.
“I love you too,” Silvio replied as he ran his forefinger across the engagement ring that found its home on Hyacinth’s finger. It wasn’t made with the finest Obsidianite minerals, despite how easily Silvio could’ve obtained them. Instead, its band was filled with the sand of Benitoite’s beaches, and the center stone was a modest light pink diamond, exquisitely carved into a Rhodiolitian rose. It symbolized not just a union of allied nations or trading partners that helped each other, but that of a Rhodiolitian citizen and a Benitoitan prince. A union of two people — two lovers — who vow to cherish and support each other in business and in life.

~ The Doors that Connect & Divide, Door#3: Gilbert; Gilbert von Obsidian x Reader
☔Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it? If so, what is it?
Sometimes I worry this may be every fic I get an idea for. There are just so many it's hard to choose.
There was this crack fic drabble idea about the great-great-great-great-great-several-times-more-great-granfather of Gilbert, the first Obsidianite to start beef with the kingdom of Rhodolite. (The origin of roses becoming the staple of Rhodolite).
Bloodstained Rose Day Jin fic. (This one is haunting me now that I'm reading his route).
Some OC concepts? I always overthink those, so it's all too easy to start feeling intimidated. I had one in mind for Clavis in particular, ahh. It'd have a bit to do with Benitoite, but I'm still letting that idea ferment.
...And then" there's that tooth-rotting fluff with Kanetsugu and his silly caterpillar, but this one is very unlikely to ever escape my head. (Sleepy MC? Day off? I'm not even sure how it'd roll out, but it'd surely involve his signature comparisons to animals.)

autumn with: jin
Tumblr media
~pairing: jin x reader ~word count: 2.5k (bullet fic) ~genre: more angst than I had planned on, still mostly fluff, childhood friends to lovers ~rating: pg, no warnings
Jin wants to do something spooky, and... it works out. but the scariest thing to you is these feelings that won’t go away
autumn with: masterlist
Tumblr media
Sometimes autumn is gorgeous
Warm afternoons, golden leaves and frost glittering with the low sun
Other times, it’s like this
“All the spookier,” Jin says, unphased as he pushes open the graveyard gate
The metallic creak wails through the dismal space, and you smile because otherwise you would tremble with fear
The sun hasn’t gone down yet, but it’s firmly hidden behind a bleak, grey cover of clouds
Though not quite raining, or even drizzling, the air is moist and clings to your flimsy jacket as you step on the flattened carpet of dying leaves
It’s a fitting place for them to come to rest, at least
“Why couldn’t we just go trick or treating again?” you whine
You hold back from clinging to the back of his coat, though
That would just be embarrassing
His lips quirk into a low smirk as he eyes the place, and you follow, desperately ignoring the faint dread in your stomach
Skeletons of trees loom between the graves, standing sentinel along the grey path that snakes between dark lawns
“We’re not kids anymore,” he chuckles, and he’s right. It’s been years since you actually went trick or treating, something you always used to do since you were big enough to walk around the block clinging to each other
“I regret letting you plan the Halloween festivities,” you mutter, lacking in bite
He does what you had wanted to all along and tucks your arms securely together, sending you a grin
A smile already tugs your own mouth, and you remember that you did agree to this
“Let’s go that way”
Pressing closer to Jin, you follow the way his arm points – not straight ahead onto the main path but a smaller, less-trodden one around the edge that’s crowded with trees, a jumble of low branches and overgrown bushes
The already dim light diminishes as you venture further
You have to give it to Jin, he must have picked the spookiest part of the graveyard
Each headstone is at least partially covered, moss and spider’s webs creeping over them where they jut from the earth
Some are clearly very old, crumbling and lopsided, the stone having lost any sharp angles, the words faded shadows among pockmarked grey
Somehow, even on the rough undulating ground, you fall into step, weaving through protruding tree roots without breaking your arms
Then Jin stops dead
“Oh my god…”
His fingers are curling around yours when you spot where his eyes rest
In the corner, a tree hunches over a thin grave, only a few brown leaves clinging to its branches
One of the leaves is draped over the stone, however, blocking out the middle of the name
But the script you can see clearly states
KIM SEO…N
Eyes widening comically, you throw Jin’s arm off you and back away
He looks even more alarmed, and you’re forced to bite down your smile
“I knew it!” you cry, raising a shaking arm to point at him “I did kill you that time I demolished you so hard in mario kart!”
His face morphs into indignance quicker than you thought humanly possible
“Yah! How can you joke at a time like this?! And it wasn’t my fault there were so many blue shells!”
“Aww, poor thing,” you coo unapologetically
He turns his pout away from you, marching over to the grave
Your smile does slip slightly as he reaches for the leaf, nervous of what it might say. It would be a weird coincidence…
Air leaves your lungs in a puff as he lifts it aside
KIM SEOHYUN, it says
“Princess Peach lives to die another day!” he cries, victorious
Already rolling your eyes, you turn back to the path, but wait for him to catch up with you
“And die she will,” you promise with a beaming grin
A yelp escapes you as he shoves your shoulder
Your path diverted, you tiptoe to avoid stepping on the graves only to retaliate, leaping across one to latch around Jin, tackling him from behind
Stumbling forwards, he complains rather too loudly in the usual silence of the graveyard, but you only drag your feet with breathless laughter
He stops dead and sighs down at you, twisting his head to see where you hug his middle
Putting on your best innocent expression, you bat your eyes up at him
He merely scoffs
When he pushes at your clasped hands again, you relent, straightening up and allowing him to walk freely
The trees thin out as you circle away from the very edges of the cemetery
“I bet I am somewhere in this place,” Jin pipes up
You shoot him a concerned look
“What? I bet I can find a Kim Seokjin on a gravestone before you can find y/n”
You can’t believe this guy… what kind of challenge…?
On the other hand, you couldn’t possibly let him win
“I’ve died inside enough times from your terrible jokes, Kim Seokjin, my grave must be here somewhere”
And you dash away before he can retaliate
Despite the slightly morbid task at hand, you’re laughing to yourself as you hurry out of the trees towards the middle of the graveyard
Your eyes scan the names on the stones, but your mind is full of Jin and it makes you giddy
He’s racing behind you, you feel it just as much as you can hear his steps
It’s always been like this, the two of you
Simple, childish and inescapable joy that always manages to fill you up when you’re together
The cold air and silly Halloween dare just help to brew the nostalgic feeling of mischief you and Jin cause without fail
The other half to your very chaotic whole
Jin stops, and it catches your eyes, determined not lost the game
He had paused to read something but shakes his head, continues the hunt
Victorious even though you’re no closer to winning, you turn to forge your own path
Only a couple have the same surname as you, not even a trace of your same initials yet
You wind away down another path where the graves are packed in and jumbled together
Between the oppressive clouds converging overhead and the thickening tangle of trees, it’s difficult to read all of them
Forced to slow down, you crouch a little and step onto the overgrown grass to peer at the stones
Right in the corner, you finally spot your initials
Jin hasn’t made a peep yet, so you creep closer, ready to run back triumphant
The surname shifts into the light, and it matches
Before you can see more, a crack cuts through the air
Jolting, you spin around
But the echoing remnants of the sound are rumbling away through the clouds
Thunder
As if you needed any more reminders this was Halloween
You’re yet to take another step when another sound sparks to life, rain splattering against the trees
Only a second later, the cool moisture of raindrops catches up, light but constant as they spray over your face
With a gasp, you abandon all thoughts of your game and start to hurry back the way you came
Even under the trees, you aren’t granted shelter, the rain slipping unerring between the bare branches
As a result it’s not much worse out in the open
But Jin is nowhere to be seen, just grey stone rows behind the murkiness of rain in the air
Only taking a moment to stop and turn, you make another run for it though you aren’t really sure where you’re going
It’s as you dash along a curving path that you find a glow coming towards you just as fast
Staggering to a stop, you come practically chest to chest with Jin
A scream dies in your throat, an unflattering sound coming from your mouth instead
Jin’s smirk makes your face burn, the fear that had begun to creep in morphing quickly into a surge of annoyance at his nonchalance
He’s holding up the lantern you remember from the graveyard entrance, probably smart as the clouds have imposed darkness upon you so early
Water drips from his hair but he doesn’t seem to notice
His smirk fades a little as he leans closer, eyeing you
He leans closer, and you dumbly blink back, the constant assault of rain dissolving to the background
It’s erased by his warm breath on your face anyway
His lips part and you’re holding your breath
“Here I was hoping you had fallen into one of the graves. At least I don’t have to dig you up”
You gape through the swirling emotions, some new wave of defensiveness summoned at the unexpected cheek
Except that’s always what you should expect from Jin, right?
Why had you been waiting for something else?
“I hate you,” you huff
His smirk grows again
“I love you too. Now let’s get out of here”
Taking your arm, he falls into step with you as you suffer through the storm
The arm he slings over your shoulder only presses your sodden clothes against your skin, but you walk closer to him anyway
Piling into the car, you pay no mind to the water you’re no doubt getting on the seats
It feels like so many times before, all the trips home from the movies, or late night snack runs with Jin at the wheel
But in such a familiar place, the roar of his engine thrumming to life below the sudden storm, it’s harder to ignore the way it feels different
But… this is Jin
With so much history between you, the way you know every in and out of him, how could you jeopardise that? Were you just latching on to him because he was familiar?
Recently, you had only been circling back to him
He was safe
Your friend
But isn’t it meant to be electric?
The car stops
Blinking, you find Jin staring over at you with a gentle crease in his brow
“Are you okay? Let’s get inside, yeah?”
Nodding, you follow him back into the rain, scampering right behind him to the door where you huddle together under the small overhang as he pushes the keys into the lock
He gets his shoes off first, shedding his coat to reveal his clothes largely spared from the damage of the storm
Then he’s kicking off his trousers (you’ve seen him in his boxers enough times, it shouldn’t phase you) and disappearing into the apartment
By the time he returns in new pyjama trousers and clutching towels, you’ve peeled off your jacket, which was significantly less waterproof, and the jumper that was equally saturated
At least he can attribute your quiet in the car to the shivers starting to shake you
Clutching your arm, he stares back at you with a comical look of shock
“You’re soaked through!”
He draws back his hand and stares at the water on his palm from your shirt, as if it personally offended him
Which, maybe it did
Then he’s pushing you towards the warmth of his living room, tugging at the freezing fabric and throwing his fluffiest towel over your bare shoulders
“That jacket really is crap,” he’s ranting but you can’t focus over the feel of him chasing the cold away, “you should have borrowed one of mine”
He’s circled around you, finally stopping in front
“Was this all just a ploy to get into my clothes?” he jokes
“You’re literally wearing my jumper right now,” you retort, eyeing the sweater paws that fall over his hands
But you don’t muster the same laugh as usual and he picks up on it
Because of course he does
And just like that, he’s serious again, frowning over you as if trying to find the cause glaring at him
“Hey, everything alright?” he asks
And it’s so gentle, and you’re not sure you can take much more when he steps forward, just enough to be in your space, lifting a hand to stroke your cheek
What should you say now??
Your mind is short-circuiting, and you only manage to stutter out an uncertain noise before it dies in your throat
Seokjin catches the movement, eyes dropping down to your lips which had parted, and you wet them with your tongue, nervous
When he looks up your struck with something
You thought you had done everything with Jin, knew him inside out
But he’s never done that before
Never looked down at your lips, never dragged his gaze up again…
Never looked at you like that before
(or he had, just not when you were staring right back)
There’s a second where you both stop
A moment you could take to backpedal faster than you’ve ever done, to ignore this building feeling and pretend nothing ever would have happened
But you must be looking back at him in the exact same way
You know he can read you as well as you can him, and it makes it impossible to step away from this, knowing he may not want to either
It’s gone in a breath as his voice meets your ears
“Can I kiss you?”
The enormity of this collapses
All you can see is your Seokjin, his puffy lips and his wide eyes, voice quiet but so so earnest
You sigh, and it melts into a smile
And you nod
He leans in, and the moment skin touches you realise
It is electric, and how could it not be?
You feel that spark you had feared after, except it’s always been there, hasn’t it? More than a sudden shock, Jin’s electricity was more the constant hum of a cosy heater, you safe place that always welcomed you back
You’ve been falling into each other for so long now it’s all-encompassing
His lips on your are thrilling, but they aren’t the beginning, not by a long shot
Pressing closer, his hands run over your back, his sweater paws falling away so his hands can run electrifying trails along your back
Just like everything else about him, his lips fit perfectly with yours, teasing and giving and making your head spin
That night finds you nestled together between kisses, the spooky night turning out better than you could have dared imagine
Goes without saying the autumn chills have long been chased away too

Thoughts on Layover
Kim Taehyung has given us a really replete album in my opinion. The best music - even if far from our everyday experience - makes us feel something - even if we haven’t had the same experience as what the artist is singing about. I feel the yearning and longing in Layover and all of the influences that V wanted to capture.
It is no secret that V has been considering his first album for a long time. Just look back at his vlog from last year to see his thinking (see below). I truly believe he meant to give us something considered and long lasting. It isn’t meant to be the ���song of the summer” (no shade). It is just a first taste of his talent and expression as an artist. I’m glad that working with Min Hee-Jin seems to have created a safe, collaborative space for him. He’s mentioned that his tastes are directly reflected in the album.
The last time V was on You Quiz on the Block, he mentioned thinking of himself as a chameleon. All of the concept photos he created for this album underscore this point - not to mention all of the Celine, Cartier and magazine content he’s put out there in the last six months. Isn’t it amazing that even with 10 years of BTS content, interviews, etc., that we are just really learning more about V now? And that he has many more sides to show to us? He is so fascinating. He’s spoken a little over the years about his style and on-stage persona, but wouldn’t you just love to know how he cultivated this talent? I’d love to hear more about the overall concept of the album, the decisions made about the music videos, including themes and styling. I watched the K-pop Spotify interview earlier today and I wish we just got the interview and less of the silly games to be honest.
This Rolling Stone piece just scratches the surface of all of the questions I have about V’s creative vision and process:
From a music perspective, Layover sounds really fresh compared to everything else I’ve been listening to/have listened to. I love the mix of R&B, jazz and hints of folk that I’m hearing. V’s voice sounds so good in an R&B setting. My one criticism is the minor nasal tone in his voice on Rainy Days, but I can’t speak Korean so he’s doing fantastic (and clearly he also speaks other languages like Japanese and French so good on him - way ahead of me). As far as what I think of the individual tracks on Layover….first, Love Me Again is my current favorite. “Lost without you, baby” is intoxicating and the space-y interlude on the track is relaxing and intriguing at the same time. I can feel the yearning there. I’ve only started listening to Blue, Slow Dancing and For Us….so far, For Us is the most interesting and to my taste. I actually want to get in the car and listen to the album from beginning to end to really experience it.
In terms of music videos, I’m going to delay judgment until all of them are out. I really hope there is some sort of resolution in the For Us MV. It didn’t escape my notice that there is no real love interest in any of the video content we’ve gotten … except for Rocky/Tannie, of course. The garment he smells in Rainy Days could be anything - it looks genderless to me. My Taekook mind, of course, wants to make it a man’s shirt. I also noticed the male dancer with the tattoo sleeve he dances with in Slow Dancing. I mean, we all know where our minds went there because what are the odds? There is also the little Tiger Lily flower that turns into a butterfly. All of V’s friends in the MV - even the women - seem androgynous. I’m sort of surprised by the soft masculinity throughout the MVs given the very sexy V we see on stage with BTS. I guess the Bear and Tiger toss-up is real.
Here are some other thoughts from people on X:
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
As for casting who was in the Slow Dancing MV, I’ll leave this here:
And also (I am against slurs FYI), the banana also caught my eye in the MV…
Tumblr media
Finally, as someone who’s career has been in the entertainment industry and marcomm, I feel his roll-out has been spot on. I know there are those that are saying that his label isn’t doing enough … not enough posters, no marketing, this, that, whatever … but I can assure you that for an artist with this much potential, the marketing team created a plan based on his audience and the audience they wanted to reach. Any artist with 60+ million followers on Instagram is an untapped viral opportunity—and they took advantage of that. Don’t for a minute, either, think that Taehyung himself didn’t think about what he wanted to give all of us and how authenticity was important to him. I’ve seen some moaning about no U.S. appearances, etc., but here I am in the U.S. and I didn’t even listen to BTS eight months ago. The Rolling Stone interview - has anyone else gotten that? The Associated Press review? Anyone else? No. Stop making him a victim.
Keeping streaming and make him happy.
