Puppy Love - Part 1

Puppy Love - Part 1

pairing: idol!Taehyung x female reader

warnings: none.

I had grown up in the same place my whole life, and over time it felt less like a small, humble country town, and more like being sealed inside a giant wall. As I grew older, I knew that if I didn’t leave that comfort and see the world, my life would stay exactly as it was.

It took me years, and even more courage, but the day finally came when I took that leap of faith (others might say ludicrous) and moved across the ocean to a new country where I knew nobody. Ensuring that I had a place to live, and a business to work in, I purchased a one-way ticket for myself South Korea, my best buddy(and dog), Kanna by my side. Thankfully, working for a large animal welfare company back home allowed me to apply for positions offered in other countries, South Korea included. 

I went to see if I could set up my own life there. Something for myself.

                                                          ***

A month had gone by before I started to feel that this could be home. I had made friends in my apartment building, and the feeling of longing for my old town had settled.

I tried to make the most of my days off by getting out of my apartment and appreciating my new city. I was sitting outside a cafe, sipping on a warm latte with my head in my phone, Kanna sitting nicely as always by my side.

Suddenly she started pinning and began furiously wagging her tail as a small black and brown dog appeared under our table. Neither dogs looked threatening towards each other, both seeming like they wanted to play.

“Hey there little guy, where did you come from” I asked, holding out my hand to the small dog.

I looked up as a young man appeared in front of me. I immediately noticed how well dressed he was in a grey turtle neck, hidden under a large brown coat. As if it were some form of disguise, he removed his sunglasses and black facemask, bowing his head and frantically speaking in Korean.

“Mianhajiman hangug-eoleul jal moshaeyo. Yeong-eo.” I smiled apologetically. (I’m sorry, but I don’t speak Korean well. English.)

The young man smiled in return “Oh! I also speak a little English” his accent immediately charming me. “I am so sorry about my dog! We were walking by and he must have been interested in your dog and he jumped out of my arms before I could even react! I hope we didn’t startle you..”

“Oh no no, it’s fine! Kanna is more than happy to make new friends, she is very good” I smiled, rubbing her back as she continued to sniff at the her new friend.

“Kanna, what a sweet name. What type of dog is she?”

“She’s a Japanese Akita”

“May I?” He asked, holding his hand towards her.

“Of course! She’s very friendly”

As the young man knelt down to say hello to my dog I came to notice just how handsome he really was. His dark, wavy hair, fell around his face and framed his soft, yet masculine features. The way his ears showed from under his hair, multiple earrings catching the sun’s rays (were they Chanel?) His lips curving into a boxy smile that spread across his face, and the way his eyes scrunched as Kanna licked his caramel skin.

I only realised I was staring when he looked up at me laughing, and I was met with his dark brown eyes. I couldn’t help but notice how kind they were.

I was snapped back into reality when his own dog yelped out playfully.

“Yeontan, don’t be rude!” They young man laughed, ruffling the fur of his small dog.

“Aw hello Yeontan” I cooed, allowing him to sniff my hand.

“He’s a bit of an attention seeker. Especially around pretty girls” he laughed, and I couldn’t help but notice he seemed more nervous.

I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks and immediately tried to change the subject. “He’s a pomeranian?”

He nodded, before raising his eyebrows “how rude of me, I haven’t even asked your name!”

“I’m Y/N” I smiled.

The young man held out his large hand, his wrist decorated with simple bracelets and two small rings on his fingers.

“I’m Taehyung”

His hand was instantly warm to touch, and completely enveloped my own.

“Your accent? Is that Y/Country?” He asked.

“It is!” I beamed “I actually just moved here about a month ago. New scenery, you know?”

Taehyung opened his mouth to answer, but something across the street had caught his eye, and I turned to see a group of people muttering among themselves in his direction, causing him to shift his weight uncomfortably. 

He looked at the silver watch on his left wrist “Ah! I’m sorry, but I have to get going.”

A wave of sadness washed over me and I mentally slapped myself out of it - I hadn’t known this guy for more than five minutes.

“That’s okay” I nodded “Um.. it was nice to meet you and Yeontan” I gave his small dog a scratch under the chin as Taehyung scooped him up in his arm.

“Maybe we could meet up again..?” He quietly asked, quickly to add “I’m sure the dogs would love to have a proper play!”

“That sounds really nice.”

I exchanged numbers with Taehyung, something I probably would never had done back home, and we said our goodbyes.

As I watched his tall figure walk away, I looked down to my dog and smiled, giving her a pat on the head and feeling very glad she was with me today. 

And I could have sworn I heard him say “good job, Tannie.”

You Just Can’t Help Yourself, Can You?

25 Days of Christmas Challenge 

Prompt:  Day 18 - Singing Christmas Songs     Day 21 - Prepping food for Christmas Day

Masterlist

It was late morning, a few days before Christmas, and I was in the kitchen baking a handful of small desserts to take to Taehyung’s family for Christmas Day. Also planning on cooking a dish, Taehyung was currently at the shops picking up some ingredients.

I always needed something playing in the background while I baked, so while I had the house to myself, I decided to blast some Christmas music and sing along. 

“Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree.. for me. I’ve been an awful good girl. Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight..”

I swayed my hips along to the alluring tune, doing a solo performance in the kitchen as the kitchen aid mixed the cake batter. The room was so loud that I failed to hear Taehyung walk through the front door.

“Think of all the fun I've missed.. think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed. Next year I could be just as good, if you'll check off my Christmas list..”

I jumped when an unexpected pair of hands grabbed a hold of my rocking hips, immediately registering the familiar scent of my boyfriend.

Taehyung pressed his body against my back, his fingers gently pressing into my hips, his warm breath against my neck. “Why would you tease me like that jagi..”

His hips were pressed against my own, as he rocked them in time to the suggestive carol. “Oh, I’m the tease am I?” I smirked, a wave of heat and nervousness racing through my body as I felt how turned on he really was.

“Don’t you have some cooking to do?” I questioned, knowing very well I had to get this baking done.

“Mmm. Just dance with me a bit. Please.” I could hear the pout on Taehyung’s face, even when I wasn’t looking at him.

I spun around to face him, as my playlist switched to the next song. Taehyung’s face lit up as a slow version of a All I Want For Christmas Is You came on, he immediately began to sing along.

“I don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need.. I don’t care about the presents I underneath the Christmas tree.”

Taehyung’s solid brown eyes bore into my own, a soft smile etched onto his face as he swayed us back and forth around the kitchen. His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me close, as my own were held around his neck. It wasn’t long before I joined in with his singing.

“Cause I just want you here tonight, holding on to me so tight.. what more can I do. Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you”

I rested my head against his chest, resulting in him pressing his chin a top my head as he continued to sing. 

“I wish we could just stay like this, forget about the rest of the world” I hummed, as the song came to a finish.

Taehyung pressed a kiss to my hair before tilting my chin up to face him. “Me too, jagi” he smiled, before softly slapping my behind, his smile growing wider.

“You just can’t help yourself, can you?” I chucked.

“I don’t hear any complaints” he teased. 

“You’re family will complain if we don’t bring any food for Christmas!”

“Ah, good point!” Taehyung turned to grab the grocery bag he left on the table and I slapped his behind, resulting in him to jump forward as he ran into the other room. 

“You just can’t help yourself, can you?” he winked.

I shrugged, giggling, as I turned back to my baking. Taehyung soon joined me, the two of us spending the rest of the morning cooking, loudly singing along to Christmas carols, and continuing to flirt with each other. 

Our own separate, little Christmas

25 Days of Christmas Challenge 

Prompt: Day 13 - Writing Christmas Cards Together Day 16 - Wrapping Presents Day 22 - Exchanging Presents with the Boys

Authors note - this ended up being more about writing cards than exchanging gifts, I think my inspiration has been running a bit on the last couple of drabbles. I have one more to write for this series, which might take a while to be out as I’m hoping it’s the longest (and one of the more detailed drabbles)

Masterlist

We’ve got these presents to wrap for the boys, plus four for your family” I announced to Taehyung as I sat crossed-legged on the floor surrounded by wrapping paper, decorations, cards and a stack of presents. “Plus a card for everyone on this list.”

“I’ll get started on writing the cards, if you want to wrap?” Taehyung suggested, grabbing the Christmas card list I passed him.

I nodded, passing Taehyung the pile of cards as he sat in front of the coffee table.

The Grinch played on the TV as I wrapped and decorated the gifts we had bought for our family and friends. Taehyung occasionally asked for my input on a card, and read each one aloud to ensure it said everything we wanted it to. Once each gift was wrapped, I tied it with ribbon and added a small decoration of a mini bauble or fake holly. Then finally finishing with a large, festive tag, with love from Y/N and Taehyung written neatly.

I shuffled on my knees over to where he was sitting when it came to writing cards to both our parents. Family was a huge thing for both Taehyung and I, so each of us took the time to write how thankful we were to them, and how much we cared for them. As I finished writing my message to Taehyung’s parents, I turned to catch him reading over my shoulder, smiling.

“Hey!”

“Can’t I read it?” he smiled, innocently.

“Well, yeah I guess. It’s just kinda embarrassing..”

Taehyung squeezed my knee, before picking the card up.

Dear Mr and Mrs. Kim,

Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas, and wonderful new year. Thank you for inviting me to spend Christmas in your home, and for welcoming me into your family - I have always felt as at home as I do with my own family. I want to thank you for raising such a kind, caring and loving son. Taehyung is nothing but a gentleman, and always goes out of his way to make me feel loved. I know you’re just as proud of him as I am.

Looking forward to spending a Korean Christmas with you!

All my love, Y/N xxx

Taehyung finished reading the card, and looked up at me, fondness in his eyes. “Do you know how much they love you” he smiled.

I smiled back shyly, “okay, it’s only fair if I read what you wrote to my parents now.”

“Fair” he agreed, passing me the Christmas card.

Dear Mr and Mrs. Y/L/N,

메리 크리스마스  - Merry Christmas! Thank you for welcoming me so easily into your family. Y/N and I had a wonderful time visiting you earlier in the month, and getting to celebrate an additional Christmas! I know I do not need to tell you how amazing your daughter is. I love her with my whole heart, and would do anything for her. She is my entire world, and I want to thank you for allowing me to meet the love of my life.

새해 복 많이 받으세요 - Happy New Year!

Kim Tae-Hyung.

It wasn’t until I stopped that I realised tears had begun to form in my eyes. I looked up at my boyfriend as he spoke.

“Is it too personal?” he asked.

I shook my head quickly. “You’re going to make them cry, you know that?” I laughed.

“I just spoke what I felt” he smiled.

“I love you too” I said, pulling him in for a kiss.

Our moment was then interrupted by the ring of our apartment doorbell, indicating the boys had arrived for our gift exchange.                                        

I placed a quick peck to Taehyung’s lips, as I stood up to answer the door, Taehyung packing up and quickly placing the boys gifts under the tree.

“Y/N!” Hoseok shouted as I opened the door to the six boys and Jimin, Jin and Namjoon’s girlfriends.

“Hobi!” I smiled, as he pulled me in for a hug.

I greeted the others one by one, letting them through our front door and hearing the yelling from the lounge room as Taehyung greeted his friends. The girls and I rolling our eyes at each other, laughing at how child-like our grown boyfriends behave when they’re in the same room.

While everyone made themselves comfortable in the lounge, placing their own gifts under the tree, Taehyung helped me carry out drinks and snacks to share, placing them on the coffee table and joining the rest of the group. Taehyung took the empty arm chair, immediately pulling me onto his lap and wrapping his arms around me. His friends still cooed and whistled at their younger brother, even after the two years we had been together. While it still caused my cheeks to heat up, Taehyung had come to ignore it.

“Shall we start handing out presents?” Jin asked excitedly, receiving a joyful agreement from Hoseok.

I could’t wipe the smile off my face, watching the boys open their gifts from Taehyung and I, with Tae always giving me a slight squeeze in excitement when someone would start unwrapping one of our gifts. It made me even happier seeing Taehyung’s reaction to opening a gift for us (which he couldn’t help but assist me with the unwrapping!) His eyes would always widen in wonder, as he initially tried to work out what the gift was, to which he would then turn to me and discuss where we could put it, or what we would do with it, his face scrunched up into a smile.  

Afternoon turned into evening, the group of us having a wonderful time exchanging Christmas gifts, laughing, drinking and stuffing our faces - our own separate, little Christmas.

I said in a recent post that I had a list of prompt ideas, and I would try to write some one shots when I can. However I thought lately that I would like to use them in an a fic, as I prefer the idea of an ongoing story :) If you hadn’t already guessed, my bias is Taehyung, so my first fic is going to be a Taehyung x reader!

Here’s a little preview from part 1, I hope you’re interested in reading and I can’t wait to read your comments xx

Author’s note - I don’t speak Korean (I’m trying to learn though!) so the boys will speak English in the story, but I will try and acknowledge any possible language barriers that would come up in this situation.

Also, I probably won’t delve too much into a backstory for Y/N, as the character is meant to fit the reader’s imagination, but of course they need to have a personality and story, so will add a little bit where I need to :)

Puppy Love (Taehyung x Reader) - Preview 

I was sitting outside a cafe, sipping on a warm latte with my head in my phone, Kanna sitting nicely as always by my side.

Suddenly she started pinning and began furiously wagging her tail as a small black and brown dog appeared under our table. Neither dogs looked threatening towards each other, both seeming like they wanted to play.

“Hey there little guy, where did you come from” I asked, holding out my hand to the small dog.

Any questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks so much to everyone who has followed this blog so far! 💜 Your likes, reblogs and comments mean so much! I made this blog at the end of last year as lover of BTS and writing, and wanted it to be my creative outlet, and I already love the community it has opened me up to.

I have a list of prompts, and will try and write as much as a can. However, I am doing my Honours at uni this year, so I don’t know how frequent I’ll be able to update. Lack of motivation to write and perfectionism is also a downfall for me 😅
