In The Shadows ( Yoonmin Au ) | The Prologue

in the shadows ( yoonmin au ) | the prologue

when world-renowned pianist yoongi is hired to play a piece for the beautiful up-and-comer to the dance scene, jimin, he never thought that he’d fall in love so easily. the dancer was graceful as a swan, ever-flowing as a river and had a body that was sculpted by the gods themselves. had he believed in love at first sight? not in the slightest. but, would he change his mind for jimin? yes.

their time together was first spent in the dance studio, where they both practiced for hours to get timing and positioning right… but the moments he cherished most were whenever jimin took a seat beside him on his piano bench, his perfume so sweet and intoxicating as it surrounded yoongi, and played a few simple songs with him. the two of them were inseparable for the months of practice they had together. when the night of the performance arrived, yoongi was more nervous than he would ever let on but managed to keep his composure when he saw jimin completely in full dress - makeup and all.

when he was bare-faced, he was so beautiful. but, when he had the whole look… he was ethereal.

his calm and confident demeanor before the show probably helped too. once it was over and the roar of the crowd had faded into silence, the two of them finally shared their first kiss in the shadow of the large velvet curtain; a fitting end to their beautiful beginning.

but, was it smooth sailing to get to that point?

TRIGGER WARNINGS : nothing but cute stuff.

Yoongi was almost late to the studio. Again.

His morning was him just repeating the same process he had the morning before but amplified. He should've learned by now that drinking iced coffee closer to bedtime was bad since he was so affected by caffeine, but he couldn't give it up. Unfortunately, he had woken up a bit too late that morning and didn't have the time to go and get said coffee before he met up with Jimin at the dance studio.

This made the male even grumpier than he normally was.

When he walked into the room, he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Jimin standing there with a cup of iced coffee in his hand and a bright smile on his face. He had to admit that his smile was contagious because it was causing the corners of his lips to twitch and turn up slightly of their own volition.

"What is this?" Yoongi asked softly as if his eyes had suddenly failed him.

Jimin's smile slowly faded, but transformed into something a little more devious than before.

"This? Oh, well, I figured that you must have liked this drink since you were sucking it down yesterday like it was your lifeblood or something. So... I thought that I should buy it for you since you're helping me out."

Manager Sejin cleared his throat from behind Yoongi as if coercing him to take it and the sound made Yoongi's eyes roll, his head turning to look over his shoulder to him. "Thank you so much, eomma. I can handle it..."

With his head facing back to Jimin, he walked forward to stand in front of him and then gently took the cup from him; their fingers touching briefly as he did. His eyes widened a bit when he felt slight electricity from it and then let his gaze rest on the other's for a few moments. "... Thank you, Jimin-ssi."

The radiating smile returned and he nodded his head once, his dangly earrings bouncing in the process, and he hummed a bit. "Let's be casual with one another from now on, yeah? I think we'll be spending enough time together to fully get to know one another... I don't want to be all business."

Doesn't want to be all business? What does that mean? Yoongi's mind was reeling. He knew that Park Jimin was a professional and it showed whenever he danced and with how he composed himself, but this was new. Usually, those that pianist worked with didn't care too much to become casual with him since their time together was much more brief. He stared at the male with his mouth agape for a few moments, his brain seemingly having short-circuited and it made Jimin giggle a little. "Was that not a good idea?"

"O-oh... Um... Yeah, sure. I mean... Pff. Whatever." Yoongi mumbled and tried to brush it all off like it meant absolutely nothing to him when in reality, he was giggling like a little schoolgirl deep down inside.

He shoved the straw of his iced coffee cup into his mouth and drank its contents aggressively to get himself to calm down. Jimin had a feeling that he was putting up a front and it caused a satisfied grin to appear while his arms crossed over his chest.

Taking a seat on the bench of his piano, he set his coffee on the ground by his side and then cleared his throat while purposefully keeping his eyes off of the little hellion in the corner. Who knew that he could be a flirt?

"Okay, Jimin-ah. Get into position." He internally kicked his ass for thinking of the double entendre that entered his mind at that moment and honed in on his keyboard even more.

Jimin thought about making fun of the other, but he seemed to be suffering enough at his expense, so he decided that he would finally enter professional mode for the rest of their practice. He didn't think that it would be so difficult to keep his head on straight while working with Yoongi, who just so happened to be one of the most attractive men he had ever seen.

This could be a problem.

After hours of practice, Yoongi and Jimin decided that they would finally take a break. It was almost time for them to leave, anyway. Finishing off his coffee, Yoongi sighed deeply and ran his fingers through his hair while letting his eyes "casually" wander over to the other. It seemed like they kept stealing glances at one another after that moment and during the rest of their time in the room. It was almost distracting, but they managed to focus on the music for the majority of the time.

At the end of the night, Jimin decided that he wanted to sit with Yoongi on the bench in front of his keyboard while he plucked at the keys a little, so they could play it together. He may have picked up a little bit about the instrument from childhood lessons. They sat close to each other, and Jimin couldn't help but lean in a little closer. Yoongi could feel Jimin's warmth against his side and it made his heart race. He knew that he was testing the limits.

Jimin noticed Yoongi's gaze turn to him and smiled, feeling a flutter in his stomach... he wasn't sure if it was him enjoying himself or if maybe he was a little freaked out by the sudden closeness. As they played together - him on one end of the keyboard and Yoongi on the other - Yoongi's fingers brushed against Jimin's as they met in the middle. The small touch sent shivers down Jimin's spine. He couldn't help but blush, hoping Yoongi wouldn't notice.

But Yoongi did notice.

He felt a tingling sensation at the touch and couldn't help but smile to himself. He wanted to touch Jimin again, to feel that spark between them, but he planned on holding back. These feelings couldn't be wise. It may have been a subtle game, but they both knew what was happening. When they finished practicing, they sat back and looked at each other. Jimin's eyes were shining, and Yoongi's heart was racing. They both knew there was something between them, something they couldn't ignore but had to. For now.

"Thanks for choosing me to do this with you, Jimin-ah," Yoongi said, his voice a little hoarse.

Jimin smiled, "Anytime, Yoongi-hyung."

After they packed up and went their separate ways, Yoongi got back into his car with Manager Sejin and had him drive to the KBBQ shop that had become a weekly hangout spot with him and his closest friends. He didn't know what to do with all of these feelings so he thought it best to just drink, eat, and have fun with his friends to unwind for the night. Luckily, they were all there by the time he arrived.

"Yoongi-ah! Finally! We're starving, hurry up!" His Jin hyung whined and it caused Yoongi to roll his eyes fondly as he neared the table, sitting down beside him now and nodding his head to the other two that were across from him.

"Aish, then eat! I didn't tell you to wait for me!"

The table laughed together and started passing out the meat to each other, Yoongi focusing on pouring soju into all of their shot glasses. It was such a relief that he had these friends who still wanted to see him every week and hadn't gotten sick of him yet, making a small smile appear on his lips as he sat in thought. This action evoked a response in Hoseok as he noticed the smile, raising an eyebrow at the sight of it.

"Uh... Yoongi-hyung, are you alright? Something about you seems different."

"Yeah, come to think of it, you like kinda happy?" Namjoon chimed in with his mouth full of Samgyeopsal, hissing at how hot it was on his tongue.

Yoongi glanced up at the two and straightened up a bit in his spot, making a face when he realized that they noticed so quickly. He should've known better than to think that they wouldn't see it on his face. It wasn't often when he showed his emotions, but whenever he did, he had a very hard time hiding it lately. The older he got, the more difficult it was to upkeep his poker face.

"Do you guys know who Park Jimin is?"

you get in a fight with a bts member ( maknae line ) / REACTIONS!

* ( park jimin )

today was supposed to be a really fun one, having planned on going to a bts concert to see your boyfriend ( and the rest of the boys ) jimin’s performance with your best friend.

it wasn’t as if you had never seen them live before... that was actually how you met jimin initially.

but you always loved cheering him on and swooning over him along with the rest of army. they still didn’t know he was a taken man.

that also meant that people didn’t know you were taken either.

a male army had been seated next to you and had decided to strike up a conversation and you, being the sweet person you are, went along with it.

along with being sweet, you were also a bit naive and didn’t realize that he was actually flirting with you.

jimin noticed and was not happy about it.

after the concert and being escorted backstage by security before anything more could happen between you and the random guy, you were brought before your mochi who happened to be seething.

after a long and very heated argument, you finally convince him that he’s the only one you want / need in your life.

he responds by, very dominantly, marking your neck to show everyone that you’re his.

* ( kim taehyung )

you and tae had been talking about starting a family for quite a while now, once the both of you got married.

his desire to have plenty of kids was something that scared you, not knowing if you’d be a good mom or not since you could barely take care of yourself.

your taetae always made sure to console you and make you feel good again.

so deciding on joking around with tae suddenly gave you a sense that maybe you were making a big mistake.

“i don’t think that i want kids anymore.”

the whiplash your boyfriend could’ve received from how quickly he turned his head to face you was startling, his face looking like you had just stabbed him in the back.

“what do you mean, jagiya?”

you expected a much bigger reaction from him since it was something so personal, but he just jutted out his lower lip and gave you the saddest puppy dog eyes he could muster.

how could you have ever said something so cruel to him????

cooing instantly, you instantly wrap your arms around him and shake your head; filling him in on the joke.

that was another big mistake.

he throws you over his shoulder and takes you to your shared bedroom, where he teaches you a lesson that you would never forget.

* ( jeon jungkook )

kookie is naturally a jealous person and you’ve always found it so adorable whenever he would give dirty looks to guys that acted a little “too” friendly toward you.

but when you had a study group that went late into the night and had forgotten to notify him that you wouldn’t be home at your normal time, he confronted you about it once your stepped through the door.

you would’ve had no problems with explaining yourself, if he hadn’t of thrown a cheating accusation toward you.

both of you were stubborn, so you weren’t going to put up with that kind of crap from him.

after all, who the hell would cheat on jeon jungkook????

a yelling match began, loud voices shooting back and forth between the both of you. it got so bad at one point, that you had even managed to call up your best friend namjoon to get him over so he could mediate.

once he came, the situation was already so heavy that you had locked yourself in the bathroom to get away from the angry look in jungkook’s eyes.

knocking some sense into the both of you and hearing both sides of the story, he manages to get you both to speak calmly toward one another and got your boyfriend to ask for forgiveness for jumping to conclusions.

once namjoon left, you and jk decided to end the night with cuddling on the couch and playing some games together where he let you win multiple times just to see you smile.
