You know, for someone so observant, you really had an awful habit of texting while walking.
As you made your way along the sidewalks of Queens, you kept your eyes fixated on the bright screen in your hand, the blue light hurting your eyes slightly as it contrasted against the fading afternoon light.
âWatch it!â An angry male voice huffs out as you accidentally run into him, your phone fumbling to the floor.
âAh, shit. Iâm sorry.â You blink, taking in the man that stood in front of you.
He looked disheveled and reeked of alcohol. You frowned. You should head back home, it was getting late; this part of town was slightly dodgy and you knew better than to dwell too long here at night.
Bending over, you grabbed your fallen phone that laid by the manâs feet.
Sighing, you brought it up to view, frowning at your now cracked screen.

pairing: jimin x reader / word count: 9.1k / genre: smut (NSFW, 18+)
summary: you wouldnât mind your cute neighbour being such a shameless fuckboy if a) the walls werenât so thin and b) he didnât seem intent on adding you as another notch in his bedpost.Â
but thereâs only so much you can resist park jimin, especially once he gets that peach involved.
warnings: sexually explicit content, Jimin being completely shameless/a lowkey ho, messy peach eating, mentions of masturbation, oral sex (m + f receiving), overstimulation, protected sex, multiple orgasms (f), dirty talk and some cursing, hmm I think thatâs it?
a/n: I was so close to calling this âjimin and the f*cking peachâ as some terrible homage to âjames and the giant peachâ đđ€§ as always I would like to thank @hobi-gif for beta reading this, putting up with me having a meltdown at her, and encouraging me to write smut at work rather than doing my job, ty queen xoxo
â
Itâs official. Park Jimin is the neighbour from hell.
Heâd tricked you, to start with. With those cherubic features, those doe eyes, and his cute little smile? He looks like an angel. A sweet, innocent angel, one whoâd knocked shyly on your door and presented you with a small selection of chocolates when heâd moved into the apartment next to yours. Your heart had gone boom boom at the sight of that cute smile, the slip of teeth, the way his lovely face had scrunched up.Â
Nowadays, whenever you see that face, you want to punch it.
Well. Not punch it. Maybe slap it a little. Because Park Jimin is a fiend.Â

a/n: what to do when the nation is in mourning? write jimin smut đ rest up queen elizabeth though, i remember when she came to my school and shook my hand after i gave her a bouquet of flowers đ
You just wrapped up what you could only call the worst blind date known to mankind. The guy was smug and cocky: you could tell he probably had a thing for being better than women, and that right there was an immediate red flag for you.
Now sitting behind the wheel of your car, pure irritation evident on your face, all you could think about was how the fuck you could face Jimin after another failed blind date. That and the fact that you slept with Jimin a couple times but neither of you had the guts to really put a label on yourselves.
It was agreed your relationship with Jimin was strictly âno strings attachedâ, merely using each other as an output to deal with the stress of work. The two of you mustâve been stressed everyday since it seemed that was how often you both went at it.
âIâve got a blind date tonight,â you tell him, entering his office to bother him as you usually did.
A blind date?
Jimin wasnât expecting you to start dating people whilst sleeping with him on the down low. Was that how these things worked?
âYouâre going on a date? Why?â He looks up from his desk, clearly confused about it since you always preached about how much you hated men and relationships.
You shrug, âI canât keep sleeping with you for the rest of my life, eventually youâll fall in love with someone else and want to get married and have kids.â
You werenât wrong, Jimin did have all this planned for his future, but he never really saw some other girl with him. All these plans were made with the intention of doing them with you.
âPlus, itâs not like weâre together or anything, so I donât see whatâs stopping me.â
âWellâŠâ he didnât really know what to say. Does he suddenly confess now or never? If this blind date of yours was a success, heâll never have the chance to tell you how he really felt, but you seemed really excited about it, he shouldnât ruin that for you.
âI mean, are you sure you wanna go on a blind date? Kind of a big step for someone who hates relationships,â he says, cocking a brow at you sat opposite his desk.
You didnât seem as concerned as he was, but then again, why did he care so much?
âDo you want me to give you hourly updates or something? Seems a bit much, Park,â you chuckle softly, failing to notice the inner conflict he was having. âAre you worried about me?â
âNo, Iâm just looking out for you,â he grumbles, rolling his eyes at your silly teasing. In all honesty, it felt like he was being replaced. âWhatever though, donât come crying to me late at night when the date doesnât go to plan.â
When you get home, you you contemplate on updating Jimin. A part of you wanted to send him a message but the other didnât wanna hear him say âI told you soâ as he did many times before.
But fuck it.
you: are you at home?
jimin: yeah, why? you coming over? or you wanna meet somewhere else?
you: no, just make sure youâre home
With that final message sent, you change out of your date night clothes, opting for something more comfortable, but once youâre out of your dress, you look down at your bare body in nothing but intricate black lace (yes, you wore a set with the intention of getting laid tonight) and figured youâd keep it on.
For Jimin.
You throw on a long trench coat to cover up, shivering a little once the material is wrapped securely around your naked body. It was a risky game going out like this, but for some reason, you felt obligated to do this.
If he wanted to make you feel bad, you may as well look good whilst he did it.
The very moment you had texted Jimin, he had just come out the shower, clean and fresh. He re-read your message a couple times, trying to figure out why you were coming over all of a sudden. Was the date so great you wanted to gush about it to him? Or did it go so terribly you were about to rant as soon as you stepped in? Or possibly, were you coming over to fuck?
He couldnât quite put his finger on it and continued about his night, dressing loosely with a pair of sweatpants and no shirt.
Why wear so much if it was gonna come off anyway?
With that thought, three knocks were had at his door, and he had no doubt that it was you.
You were left waiting for a couple seconds, tapping your foot against the carpeted floor continuously until you were met with a very bare Jimin, forcing your incessant tapping to come to a halt and your breath to catch in your throat.
You eyed every inch of him; his perfectly sculpted v-line, the crevices of his abs, the simple, yet impacting ânever mindâ tattoo adorning his ribs, and finally his face, which was slightly moist due to the droplets of water falling from the ends of his hair.
âHi..â you say breathlessly, âCan I come in?â
Jimin caught you eyeing him up, but chose not to comment on it. Instead, he moves aside to let you in, âBy all means.â
As you step inside, his eyes follow your form taking notice of the unusual outfit you were wearing. Heels with your legs bare, you mustâve been wearing a dress underneath the coat, but he couldnât be certain, the damn coat was shielding away his curiosity.
âIâm guessing your date didnât go well,â Jimin chuckles softly, closing the front door and turning to look at you, âWanna talk about it over a drink?â Though it sounded like an open ended question, he didnât wait for you to respond, already making his way into the kitchen to pull out two wine glasses.
âListenâŠâ you start, your voice low, yet loud enough for Jimin to hear. Youâre stuck standing by the door, watching, him set the two glasses down on the marble counter. âI.. am a good girl,â you begin, trying not to sound stupid. âIn school, I always followed the rules to the point where a lot of people actually hated me for it.â
The confusion on Jiminâs face was clear as day, and you knew he was about to interrupt you, but you continue to talk, raising your hand up towards him, âLet me finish,â you exhale, âI didnât have my first kiss until I was 17, probably because I hated the idea of it.â
What the hell were you talking about?
Jimin cocks a brow, leaving his position behind the counter to approach you, âDid I do something wrong?â
The man never hated you, nor did he think you were crazy to have such outlandish opinions on relationships (he understood where you were coming from) and sometimes it was annoying, but not annoying enough to push you away from him. At the end of the day, you were close friend to him.
âNo, you didnât do anything wrong,â you reassure him, stopping Jimin in his tracks. âI shouldnât have gone on that blind date. It went horribly.â
Thereâs a moment of silence between the two of you, and Jimin remained as he was in case you were still speaking.
âThis failed blind date, along with everything weâve done together, made me realise Iâm only ever genuinely happy when Iâm with you. Itâs pretty fun not having to fuck my pillow every night,â you say, your cheeks growing beet red at the confession. âAnd I think itâs safe to say that I donât not want be in a relationship..â
Your eyes meet his and for the first time tonight, Jimin was speechless. He hadnât said a word and at this moment, you were glad. âSoâŠâ your hands travel down to the belt tied around your waist, pulling on one end to loosen the knot and have the coat comfortably slip free down your shoulders, revealing the black strap of you bra draped over your shoulders.
Jimin knew what was coming. He was bracing himself for what you were about to do.
The trench coat finally hit the floor, pooling around your feet and his breath hitches. He raked his eyes up and down your body, drinking in the sight of you. Flawless skin, perfect curves and a face so radiant, you were the only thing glowing under the dim light of his apartment.
âWoah,â is all he says, having no shame displaying the grin on his face. âYou sure know how to flatter a man, Y/N,â Jimin shakes his head, as if disapproving your outfit, but really, the man was losing it inside.
Heâs quick on his feet, steadily approaching your form and stopping in front of you, his eyes solemnly kept on you, âIâm glad you finally came to your senses,â he says, reaching his hand up to cup your cheek, gently smoothing his thumb across your skin. âHow about we do something a little more fitting for your attire tonight?â
You didnât bother processing his words, wasting no time in crashing your lips against his in an aggressive kiss, Jimin undoubtedly reciprocating and automatically wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you closer to his chest.
His embrace wasnât long lasting, hands moving down the small of your back to briefly graze the curve of your ass before settling behind your upper thighs, hoisting you up, âJump,â Jimin mumbles against your lips, eliciting a short hum from you and you immediately oblige, wrapping your legs around your waist and he held onto you securely.
Not once did either of you break the kiss as he carried you towards his bedroom, but once in his bedroom, you pulled away to catch your breath. âI bet you do this with every girl you hook up with, huh?â
âJust you, sweetheart,â he smirks, responding with zero hesitation, gently laying you lie body on his mattress so he could cherish the sight of you.
A gorgeous, stunning, goddess.
âI bet your pillowâs gonna get bored now, huh?â
Your jaw drops, cheeks turning a slight hue of red from embarrassment. Maybe you shouldnât have told him about that, now heâd be able to use it against you at any given opportunity. You prop yourself up on your elbows, tilting your head at the partly-naked man before you, âI bet my pillow can make me feel a lot better than you can.â
âYou wanna test that theory out?â Jimin challenges, leaning over you to grab one of the many pillows on his bed, leaving it beside you. âCan your pillow make you cry? Can your pillow fuck you as good as I can?â He continues to list out all the things you both done together over the last few months, knowing full well the answer to all his questions were no.
He shifts his position to climb onto the bed, leaning back against the headboard with his legs spread far and wide to show you the tent straining against his sweatpants. âIf it can, then show me,â he gestures towards the pillow and your almost at a loss for words.
He was gonna watch you get off, and you felt so belittled liking the idea of it.
You grab ahold of the pillow, fluffing it up a bit for your own comfort. âFine, but youâre not allowed to touch me and you have to sit on the other side of your room,â you instruct him, pointing to the chair tucked under his desk.
Gosh, you were so bossy, but Jimin would do anything to make a princess happy.
âAnd youâre not allowed to come,â he warns you, pushing himself off the bed and towards his desk, pulling the chair out to face you before taking a seat, adjusting the boner in his pants before gesturing his chin towards you, encouraging you to make a start. âGo ahead, Iâll tell you when to stop.â
You take his previous position and lean back against the headboard, making yourself comfortable before spreading your legs before him, giving him the perfect view of your soaked panties firmly pressing against you. You took your time, hovering your fingers over the damp material and briskly brushing over your clothed clit, triggering your body to shudder.
Knowing that wasnât enough for you, you slipped your hand past the band of your panties, the pad of your fingers reaching to rub slow, drawn out circles over your sensitive clit. You didnât need to do much, the mere sight of Jimin turning you on beyond measures.
Jimin was sat far across from you, his chin slightly raised as he watched you and his hand unknowingly palming the erection trapped between his legs and groaning. It hurt so bad he just pushed his sweatpants halfway down his thighs along with his boxers to free the painful erection. He couldnât bring himself to take his eyes off you as his fingers simultaneously wrapped around his hardening cock.
âDonât work yourself up too much, you still have that pillow to attend to,â Jiminâs voice echoed through the room, almost missing your attention. You were getting carried away with your own fingers, you completely forgot about the pillow.
You groan and reach out for the pillow, now sitting up on your knees, and spreading your legs apart to make room for the pillow. The pillow was thick enough for you to have a firm hold on it, and as soon as you sunk down on it, the knock on effect of the material brushing over your heat left you whimpering.
Your reactions had Jimin squeezing on the base of his cock, revelling over how sensitive you were.
He loved it.
All you had to do was imagine the pillow was Jimin and youâd be good to go. It seemed effective once you started rocking your hips back and forth against the pillow, failing to contain your short, but sweet whimpers. Your hips would slow down every now and again, taking long, deep strokes to delay your orgasm as much as possible but it didnât seem to work.
You looked up at Jimin whoâs position was now slouched on the chair, steadily pumping his cock between his fists as he watched you.
âDonât look at me..â you mumble shyly, shaking your head and looking down at the pillow that had already picked up your arousal, darkening the material slightly.
âWhy not?â he chuckles breathlessly, repeatedly swiping his thumb over the head of his cock and smearing any and all the precum down the base. His eyes came to a shut in pure bliss as he picked up the pace of his wrist, his groans becoming low moans. All he could think about were your perfect pouty lips wrapping around his cock and sucking him off just right.
âTake the bra off, lemmeâ see your tits.â
You donât hesitate to oblige, flipping your hair to the side and reaching your hands back to unclasp your bra and let the straps fall seamlessly down your shoulders. Your nipples had hardened within seconds being exposed but you couldnât bring yourself to care enough, too busy rutting against the pillow.
âI canât believe you let me go on a blind date,â you seethe, projecting your anger towards him and the pace of your hips, now struggling to keep yourself stable.
âWe werenât exactly together, I couldnât stop you,â Jimin tries to reason with you, aggravation evident in his tone as he mercilessly fucked his fist. He was close, and from the way your body was jerking, he knew you were close too.
It took the man everything and more to still his hand along his member and stand up from his chair, walking over to you with a sly smirk on his face.
âOn your stomach, raise your hips. And tell me, what do you think about when you fuck your pillow?â
You whine and force yourself to pull the pillow from between your legs, leaving it elsewhere as you positioned yourself like heâd asked.
âI think about you..â you whisper, âI think about your tongueâ your hands all over me.â You hesitate to say more, but you knew that if you really wanted that orgasm, you had to spill. âI think about milking your cock every night, even before we started fucking,â you cry, pushing yourself back against him. The lack of attention to your weeping cunt was playing up with you, âAnd I love when you tease meâ God, I fucking love it.â
Jimin grins, grabbing ahold of your hips and firmly rutting against you from behind, âMhm, Iâll give you all that and more,â he smiles contently, positioning the head of his cock at your slick hole, teasing you a little before finally pushing into you and eliciting a low âfuckâ from his end.
The air is knocked out of lungs much quicker than you expected, the stretch catching you off guard, even though it wasnât the first time youâd taken him like this; a clear indication you were yet to get used to his size.
âBeen thinking about keeping you all to myself,â he admits, short of breath as he looked down between where your bodyâs met, âJust had to take my time with you. huh?â
Jiminâs words were going through one ear and out the other. All you could hear was his low grunts and your strained moans. âOh my Godâ Jimin,â you force out, your half lidded eyes rolling to the back of your head as your poor cunt took him whole.
âNo other man can make you feel as good as I can,â he retorts cockily, digging his nails into your hips once he feels your walls greedily squeeze around him. The action makes the pace of his hips falter, but heâs quick to get back on top of it, âMake sure you fucking remember that.â
You nod diligently. You already knew that his words were the truth and the way he was putting it into practice was taking over your being, almost brainwashing you.
You do him the favour of arching your back a little more, giving Jimin all the more room to hold onto you, but it seemed like he had other plans, using this opportunity to pull out and forcing you turn around to lie on your back. You couldnât say anything, his arms hooking under your knees to push them up towards your chest before swiftly pushing into you again, thrusting at a pace so ungodly, you were sure you couldnât handle it.
âToo much, Jimin!â you gasp, turning your head away from him to shield your embarrassing state.
He was quick to notice and grabbed ahold of your cheeks, forcing you to look back at him and he continued to fuck you at his torturous pace, rolling his heels deeper into you, âLook at me when Iâm fucking you.â
You couldnât imagine what you looked like right now, but Jimin could safely say you looked like every manâs wet dream. Your fucked out state had his cock twitching between your soft walls, and you couldnât help but clench around him, giving him that final push to reach his high.
âIâm close..â you breathe out, shaking your head in a bid to ease yourself of your coming orgasm, but Jimin was adamant on having your full, undivided attention.
âDonât you dare look away from me,â he says, releasing your knees from its contraption only to have your legs dangle over his shoulders as he brought his thumb down to circle over your clit and using it as leverage to push you towards your orgasm.
And that seemed to do the job. A string of curses fell from your lips as you completely broke down on him, a sheen layer of white making an appearance between your legs which only became more prominent once Jimin slowed down. A visible mix of white had coated his cock as he continued to slowly fuck you in a bid to help you calm down.
Jiminâs jaw fell slack once he decided to pull out of you, leaving a trail of white behind him as he fell to lie beside you,
You both finally established this was more than just a mutual fuck; it was an open-ended gateway for the pair of you to become something more.

Genre: angst, fluff, smut, crack, Best Friend's Brother!AU, Dodgeball!AU
Rating: M (18+)
Warnings: swearing, drinking, mentions of feeling rejected and unlovable, a little angsty but you know me, pansexual!Taehyung in the house, side VMin, Wooga Squad alert, Himbo NamKook alert, dance leader Hobi is reimagined here as a dodgeball team captain, implied sex, the smut is to come (heh) in part two
Word Count: 7.3K for part one; total wc tbd
Disclaimers: NSFW, obviously I donât own BTS - they just inspire me
Summary: Â When your best friend Taehyung tells you he has the perfect thing to help you get over a broken heart, youâre surprised to learn he means dodgeball, the beloved game of sociopathic gym teachers everywhere. But even more surprising is the way you find comfort in the game, and so much more, as you fall into the rush with the help of another teammate - his brother, Seokjin.
A/N:Â Happy belated birthday, Jin! This was written as part of the Catch of the Century collab, hosted by MVPs @raplinesmoon @joheunsaram and @kithtaehyung!
Sooooo this underwent a few rewrites and then my life blew up as the December deadline got closer and then I decided to do Kinkmas because I'm just a gal who can't say no. I knew I could either rush to get this done, be upset at how shoddily written it is, and then hate myself for putting out something I wasn't proud of just to meet the deadline, orrrrr I could be kind to myself and recognize that I am a human and not a machine and sometimes despite my best efforts I fall short, and release it as a two-parter. Et voilĂ ! Here is part one.
Unbeta'd as usual.
Please don't be a silent reader đ„ș I'd love to know what you think! đ
Masterlist đ Find me on AO3 đ Part Two
âDodgeball. You want to play dodgeball?âÂ
You stare at your roommate incredulously. Taehyung nods.Â
âDodgeball. The kids game? The beloved sport of sociopathic PE teachers everywhere? That dodgeball?âÂ
He canât be serious. Neither you nor he are the athletic type. But from the solemn look on his face as you continue to sputter in surprise, you know heâs not joking. Taehyung is many things - an artist, a daydreamer, the kindest soul youâve ever met and your best friend of five years and counting - but heâs not a liar.Â
Still, when heâd walked into your room five minutes ago, yanked back the curtains to let the late-morning light in, and told you to get up because he had an idea, youâd assumed heâd wanted you to go with him down to the coffee shop on the corner so he could covertly admire his latest crush, the cute barista with the pink hair. Dodgeball was nowhere near the possibilities your mind conjured up.Â
Taehyung sighs. âYes. Dodgeball. Thereâs an adult league that plays at the rec center on Saturdays and I want to join. And I want you to join, too.â He flops down on your bed, nudging you over so he can lie next to you, ignoring your grumbles as you make room. âI think it would be good for you to get out a little. Get some fresh air.â
âI have plenty of fresh air,â you inform him, gesturing to your bedroom window, which is currently cracked about an inch. It might be spring, but the chill that clings in the air still feels like winter.Â
âUh-huh. Sure you do. But out of curiosity, whenâs the last time you actually left the apartment, besides for work?â
âUm.â Heâs got you there. Casting your mind back, you canât even remember the last time you left the safety of your home to do anything other than clock in at the bartending job where you both work. âDoes going to the mailbox count?â
It doesnât, and he doesnât even need to respond, just gives you his signature exasperated look, but the warmth in his brown eyes shimmers just beneath as always. âPumpkin,â he begins, using one of the many silly nicknames he loves to address you by, knowing how much you hate cutesy stuff like that, âyou canât hide in here forever.âÂ
An instant rebuttal floats through your mind. You absolutely can hide in your room for the rest of your life, if you so choose. The internet brings the world to your fingertips. Everything can be delivered these days. Okay, true, youâll still need to leave for work, but thatâs only until you finish your novel and net yourself a publishing deal. Then you can quit your crappy bartending job, build yourself the perfect blanket nest, and become the hermit you were always meant to be.Â
Joining a dodgeball team doesnât fit into that plan. Itâs going to require you to go outside. Outside is dangerous.Â
Outside is where he is.Â
At the sharp pang that stabs your gut, you turn to your roommate with a grimace. âI donât know. Iâm not really a⊠sportsâŠperson - and neither are you, frankly. And itâs a team sport, which means others will be relying on you. You really think this is something you can commit to? I mean, remember the gym?â
Last year, the two of you had joined a gym together at his suggestion, which you both had visited a grand total of one time. He later confessed heâd only signed up because a hot customer at the bar had convinced him to after a long evening of flirting. That short-lived commitment ended the moment Taehyung arrived at the gym and discovered that the hot patronâs promise to give Tae a full-body workout was not, to Taeâs disappointment, a euphemism, but only a sales pitch.
Again, Taehyung doesnât respond to your question. Instead, he uses the one weapon in his arsenal that destroys you every time the two of you argue over what to do.
With a tilt of his head, Taehyung flashes you his big sad puppy dog eyes.
You sigh. âGoddamn it. Fine. Fine. Letâs play dodgeball.âÂ
Immediately, Taehyungâs countenance changes, a brilliant, boxy smile crossing his face as he grins at your caving. âGreat! Sign-ups are actually this afternoon, sooooo⊠up and at âem, cupcake! Letâs get moving.â He jumps up, holding out his hands, and you begrudgingly let him pull you out of bed. âYouâre definitely going to need a shower before we meet the other players.âÂ
âHave I ever told you how annoying you are?â you mutter as you follow him down the hallway towards your tiny kitchen to brew some coffee, knowing youâll need the caffeine if youâre going to be socializing with strangers this afternoon.Â
He beams again, tossing his dark bangs out of his eyes. âAll the time.â
The rec center is only a few blocks from your apartment, but youâd never stepped foot inside before Taehyung drags you down there to sign up for the league. Still, thereâs a familiar scent when you walk into the building, the smell of rubber mats and sweat mingling together, stirring up memories of PE classes from grade school. The flashbacks make you shudder.Â
Taehyung shakes you out of your memories as he steers you towards a folding table thatâs been set up in the lobby. âCome on, we check in here.â A friendly woman in a purple tracksuit sitting at the table waves you over.Â
âHiya! Are you team leaders or free agents?â She laughs at your blank stares. âOkay, Iâll take that to mean youâre not here to sign up an existing team, but youâre free agents in search of a team to join!âÂ
âOh, yeah, thatâs us,â Taehyung nods sagely, as if he knew that.Â
âGreat! If youâll just fill out these formsâŠâ she hands you both a sheet of paper, âI will process your fees, and then I can point you in the direction of some teams looking to add some new players!âÂ
Forms? Fees? This is more complicated than youâd expected. Youâd figured youâd just walk in and play, like joining a pick-up game of basketball or something similar that people who like sports might do. âSo, um, how does this work?âÂ
The smile never leaves her face as Ms. Purple Tracksuit explains that youâll be joining a team for the next ten weeks to play against other teams in a tournament ending in a championship match between the two best teams. âAnd the fee covers your uniform!âÂ
âA uniform?â
She leans forward, whispering conspiratorially. âDonât get too excited. Itâs just a t-shirt.âÂ
After you hand in your form and make Taehyung pay your fee, Ms. Purple Tracksuit tells you to head into the main gymnasium, where the team leaders looking for new recruits are waiting. Thereâs another dose of dĂ©jĂ vu as you enter the room to find several clusters of players standing around, sizing you up as you walk in. It reminds you of being a kid, waiting on the sidelines while the other kids whisper to one another about who to pick.
âUh, this is a little intense,â you whisper to Taehyung, clinging to his elbow as he blithely strolls between the groups. âI feel like Iâm being judged.âÂ
âNah, this is a numbers thing,â he says. According to Ms. Purple Tracksuit, teams consist of six to ten players, so thereâs a good chance youâll be able to find a team together. If youâre picked at all, that is. âWhatever team needs two players will take us, Iâm sure.âÂ
Your roommate just wanders through life with a natural confidence that youâve rarely seen in others. You suppose it makes sense, given how handsome and talented he is. Still irks you a bit.Â
âAnd what makes you say that?â You scan the room, taking in the other players. There are several others who wear similar expressions to your own, looking a little overwhelmed. It strangely gives you hope that you wonât be the only one here who doesnât know what sheâs doing.Â
And then there are those who look like they live, eat, and breathe dodgeball, like the two tall, muscle-bound gods to your left, both wearing a shirt that says âRock the Balls.â Team leaders, you assume.Â
âUh-huh, sure,â Taehyung replies distractedly, and you frown, following his gaze to see what caught his attention, since heâs clearly not listening, only to spy pink hair and a gorgeous smile that you recognize from your favorite coffee shop.
Grabbing his arm, you force your roommate to look at you as you hiss his name. âTaehyung. Tell me weâre not here because of that barista!âÂ
âHmm?â Taeâs starry-eyed expression is all the answer you need. Of course. Of course he dragged you here so he could flirt with his crush. How did you not see this coming? âWhat? Noooo, I told you, I want to play dodgeball! But isnât it a nice coincidence that Jimin is here?âÂ
âRight. Coincidence. Youâre unbelievable.â With an exasperated sigh, you give him a push. âWell, go talk to your man. See if his team needs two new players.âÂ
Taehyung doesnât need telling twice, happily bouncing towards the barista. And now youâre alone in a gymnasium full of strangers, feeling left out again. As you slowly revolve in place, looking for somewhere to hide and wait for Taehyung to return, one of the muscle-bound gods approaches.Â
âHey,â he says, giving you a little head nod. âYou looking for a team?âÂ
Technically, you suppose you are, but you should probably see if Taehyung will be dragging you on to Jiminâs team with him first. But as you glance at the god, with his wavy dark hair and silver lip ring nestled in the corner of a pair of rather pink lips, youâve the urge to say yes. He and his buddy are mind-meltingly hot.Â
âIâm not sure. Iâm here with a friend,â you finally respond. Super glad Taehyung forced you to shower today.
The god nods, eyes dragging over your frame. If you touched your cheeks right now, youâre pretty sure theyâd be blazing hot under his gaze. âThatâs cool. Iâm Jungkook, by the way, and this is Namjoon.â He nods to the other god, whose lips quirk in a cool half-smile.Â
âSup,â he rumbles, jerking his chin in your direction. He runs a hand through his short, dark hair, fingers scratching over the lines buzzed into the sides. âWe run Rock the Balls. And weâre looking for two new members.â
âActually, thatâs gonna be three new members,â a familiar voice declares behind you. Your eyes widen before you spin to find yet another handsome man behind you. But this one you know well.
âJin-ah!â Throwing your arms around his neck, you attack Seokjin with a hug, grinning as his squeaky laugh echoes through the gymnasium. Itâs been nearly a year since youâve seen Taehyungâs older brother, but he looks mostly the same - the same warm brown eyes surrounded by ever-deepening laugh lines, the same perfect cupidâs bow twitching as he smiles as you. The only difference is that his hair is a little shaggier now, a fluffy brown cloud that bounces when you finally release him.Â
âI could get used to a hello like that,â Seokjin grins.
âWhen did you get home?â you ask, vaguely aware that the gods have drifted away. âAnd what are you doing here?â
âGot in two days ago. I wouldâve stopped by to see you and Tae-yah, but I needed to get my land legs back first.â Seokjin probably means that pretty literally, since heâs spent the last year on a research station in the middle of the ocean. As a marine biologist, he works at a local lab run by a federal agency, studying the effects of ocean pollution on various species of fish. Occasionally, he has to do field work, but this last round was his longest stint yet, taking him away from home for nearly twelve full months. âWhen I texted him this morning, he mentioned that he was joining a dodgeball team, and I⊠well, I had to check that out for myself.â You both laugh. âSo I thought Iâd surprise you.â
âYou definitely did that!â you confirm. âI want to hear all about your research trip. Did you find anything interesting? Discover any new species?â You lean in excitedly. âDid you finally find some mermaids??â
Seokjin tuts. âAish, how many times do I have to tell you, Iâm not a deep sea diver, Iâm just a guy pulling water samples off a dock?âÂ
âYeah, whatever, Jin Cousteau.âÂ
He rolls his eyes. âI was really hoping that that nickname wouldâve died out in the last year.âÂ
âOh no, that oneâs for life. And listen, you can downplay your job all you want, but I know the deal. You just canât tell me anything because the government forces you to keep those secrets locked down. But Iâll get the truth out of you someday.âÂ
âOh?â Seokjin cocks an eyebrow. âAnd just how d-â
âHyung!!âÂ
âOof!â Seokjin grunts as your roommate launches himself at his brother, tackling him in a bear hug. When the affectionate embrace becomes a wrestling match in the middle of the gym, you feel a presence at your side, and turn to find Jimin and another man watching the melee with a surprised look on their faces.Â
âDonât worry,â you reassure them, âtheyâre always like this.âÂ
âUh, okay,â the barista chuckles. âUm, I wanted to introduce you to my friend, Hoseok. Hoseok-ah, this is YN, Taehyung-ahâs roommate.âÂ
âHey.â The other man grins a smile that can only be described as a beam of pure sunshine, and you wonder if this dodgeball league is for models only, because youâre basically surrounded by nothing but gorgeous people. Â
âHi. Um, and that is Seokjin, Tae-yahâs brother,â you gesture to the skirmish.Â
âMmmice to meet eww!â Seokjinâs response is a little muffled by Taehyungâs armpit, but he manages to wave.Â
âHyung, why didnât you tell me you were going to be here?â Taehyung whines.
âAnted oo urprise!â Seokjin finally untangles himself from his brotherâs headlock. âWanted to surprise you,â he says again, more clearly.Â
âWeâre starting a new team, and we could use three players, if youâd all like to join us?â Hoseok asks.Â
âAre you sure you want this on your team?â you reply, gesturing to Taehyung and Seokjin.
âI think we can handle them,â Jimin grins, and Taehyungâs smile turns blinding. âBesides, we could use that energy on the court!âÂ
âYeah,â Hoseok agrees. âAlso, weâre a brand new team, so weâre desperate!âÂ
âThatâs my favorite word.â Seokjinâs shoulders shake as he cracks himself up. âWeâre in!â
Hoseok smiles. âFantastic. Welcome to the Seven Slamurai!â
Once youâve finished signing up for Hoseokâs team, you, Taehyung, and Seokjin decide to grab some dinner together. Another thing about Seokjin that hasnât changed during his time away is his voracious appetite, so you take him to an all-you-can-eat bbq restaurant not far from the rec center.Â
As the soju starts flowing and the plates start piling up, Seokjin tells you about his year on the ocean. He starts out with a disclaimer, warning you that his research isnât interesting, and heâs not entirely wrong. Most of it goes over your head, since itâs been years since you last took a biology course. But itâs not really what heâs talking about that keeps you focused on him, itâs how he talks about it that holds your attention. Youâre fascinated by his passion for his work. His dedication to studying ocean life in order to preserve and protect it. It makes you wish you had a cause of your own to defend.
And then, of course, as the liquor catches up with him, he tells you all the gossip about the other crew members on his station - the hookups, the fights, all the little scandals that brought the drama to the high seas. Seokjinâs always been a good storyteller, knowing just what to say to keep you and Taehyung laughing.
âBut what about you?â you ask when Seokjin pauses to stuff some pork belly in his face. âDid you have any flings with any of the other scientists? Hmmm? Dip your fishing rod in company waters?âÂ
âGross,â Taehyung mumbles around a mouthful of beef bulgogi.
Seokjin shakes his head. âNah. I didnât click with anyone there like that. Honestly, we spent so much time together each day that by the end of it, I was dying to get away from most of them, which was really hard to do since we were basically stranded together in the middle of nowhere! So I spent a lot of my downtime hiding in my bunk, reading old research papers that I found in the stationâs library.âÂ
âYou read research papers for fun?â Taehyung looks horrified.Â
Downing another shot of soju, you lean towards Seokjin, licking the peach-flavored drops from your lips. âCome on. Youâre telling me you went an entire year without hooking up with anyone? Not even a little making out?âÂ
âNope.â Seokjin pops the âp.â At your incredulous look, he laughs, lifting his shoulders. âWhat? A yearâs not that long! I made it just fine.âÂ
âYeah,â Taehyung agrees, âitâs not that long. Besides, he was probably jerking off nonstop.âÂ
Soju flies out of Seokjinâs nose as you and Taehyung burst into raucous laughter. Seokjin scolds his brother, who argues back as he always does, telling the elder to loosen up, while you sit quietly, chin in hand, smiling to yourself as you watch the fireworks, realizing how nice it is to have Seokjin home again.Â
He and Taehyung are pretty much a package deal. Youâd met Taehyung first during your senior year of college. At the time, Seokjin was finishing up his graduate program at the same school, and his plans to move out of his and Taehyungâs apartment upon graduation and roll right into some field work had Taehyung feeling like he was being left high and dry. Youâd ended up becoming Taehyungâs new roommate that summer, and then it had turned out that Taehyungâs worries were all for naught, because Seokjin still spent most of his free time hanging out at his (now your) place, anyway.Â
You didnât mind then and you donât mind now. Seokjinâs a good balance to all of Taehyungâs extremes. Where Taehyung has his head in the clouds, Seokjinâs feet are firmly planted in the ground. Taehyung can be mercurial, even flaky sometimes, but Seokjinâs rock-steady. Theyâre not complete opposites in everything, though. Just like his brother, Seokjin has a big heart.Â
Once Seokjin runs out of steam, Taehyung shrugs. âIâm just saying, being with someone isnât the only way to be satisfied. Just look at me. Iâm single and Iâm happy.âÂ
He looks almost smug as he states this, and something inside you snaps. The last thing you want to hear from Taehyung is another speech about loving yourself. Youâve heard plenty of those over the last few weeks. You do love yourself.Â
You just wanted someone else to love you, too.
Pointing your chopsticks at him, you frown. âOh, please donât start! One, you were just dating a guy last month, so itâs not like youâve gone an entire year without being with someone, and two, you literally just dragged me onto a freaking dodgeball team so you could start dating another! So I donât want to hear any platitudes about embracing your singleness or anything like that.âÂ
Taehyung is silent for a moment after your outburst. âSorry,â he finally says, poking at the remains of the kimchi on his plate. âI wasnât thinking.â
Seokjinâs gaze bounces between the two of you. âI feel like Iâm missing something.âÂ
Taehyung sees you nibbling on your bottom lip and he turns to his brother. âI can explain. Buttercup here-â
âButtercup can speak for herself,â you interject, âand donât call me that.â With a sigh, you slug back another shot of soju and look at Seokjin. Heâs waiting patiently to hear what you have to say. âI was⊠kinda seeing someone a few months ago. And I thought that I had something with them, and it turned out that I was wrong. They didnât feel the same way I did, soâŠâ You trail off, not sure how to say âso I spent the last few months crying in my room over a broken heart.â
Luckily, Seokjin spares you this confession, nodding sympathetically. âI gotcha,â he says simply, and you nod back, stuffing some rice into your mouth so you donât cry at the warmth in his expression.Â
âI donât know why youâre being so cryptic about who it was,â Taehyung frowns. âSheâs talking about Yoongi.â
Something passes over Seokjinâs face quickly, so fast you almost miss it as you smack your roommate on his arm. He yelps in shock.
âWhat? He was going to find out eventually, theyâre best friends!âÂ
You know this, but it doesnât make you feel any better. Seokjin is actually the one who introduced the two of you, at the party he threw before he left for his research trip. You remember that night very clearly, can close your eyes and picture Yoongi standing there, with silver hair and silver hoops in his ears, dark cat eyes shimmering as Seokjin gave him your name, and you feel that same swoop in your stomach as you did then. Only now it comes with a painful twist of your heart as well.Â
Falling for Yoongi happened so quickly. Youâd immediately bonded over a shared love of hip-hop and whisky, spending the party huddled together on the couch, snarking over Seokjinâs music collection and liquor selection, talking until the sun came up and Seokjin started throwing everyone out. As you left, youâd asked Seokjin for Yoongiâs number. But before you even entered it into your phone, a text appeared from Yoongi himself. He confessed heâd asked Seokjin for your number as well.
âI havenât talked to Yoongi-yah in a while.â Seokjin glances at you. âYou know how hard it was for me to keep in touch. Thereâs no cell phone reception in the middle of the ocean, and the internet seemed to come and go at will. At least I heard from you two occasionally, but I didnât hear from Yoongs except on my birthday, and we didnât⊠you didnât come up.â He looks apologetic as he says those last words, and your heart pangs again.
âItâs okay, why would I have?â you snort. âLike I said, it turned out to be a big bunch of nothing between us.â Despite what you thought. What you felt.
A server appears at the table to drop off the bill, and you welcome the interruption, wanting to go home and crawl into the safety of your bed again, feeling like it was a mistake to leave in the first place. Taehyung and Seokjin fight over who is going to pay, with Taehyung winning, practically throwing his card at the server, but youâre too distracted by your thoughts to enjoy the scene.Â
Texting with Yoongi had turned into late night conversations. Going to concerts and bars to check out new musicians, doing whisky tastings and visiting distilleries. It felt like you were glued at the hip for a few months, and the more you got to know him, the harder you fell. Like the way you fell into his bed, over and over.
But nothing sticks out in your memory more than that last night, the last time you saw him, when you finally found the courage to tell him how you felt. Youâll never forget the sad look on his face. It told you everything you needed to know before he even spoke.
âButtercup?â Taehyungâs voice pulls you from your reverie. âYou ready to go?â He and Seokjin are staring at you, both on their feet already, waiting to leave.Â
With a nod, you rise, and follow them out into the night.Â
Despite the name, the Seven Slamurai consists of nine players. (When you asked why, Jimin rolled his eyes and said heâd tried to argue with Hoseok over the moniker, but Hoseok was insistent that the name stay true to his favorite movie.) In addition to Hoseok, Jimin, Seokjin, Taehyung, and yourself, there are four others at your first practice session on Monday night at the rec center - Wooshik, Sunghwan, Seojoon, and Hyungsik. You exchange a few quick greetings with your new teammates before Hoseok gestures for you all to sit on the bleachers.Â
âWelcome everyone to our first team practice!â Hoseok smiles, clapping, and you lightly clap along until you realize no one else is. âBefore we do some warm-ups, I thought Iâd take a minute to explain the rules of the game, for those of you who havenât played before.âÂ
He launches into an overview of the sport. Most of it is familiar from your school days, but there are a few things that are new, like something about a rush, and a neutral zone, and a burden ball? You glance around to see if anyone else looks confused. Most of the new guys wear bored expressions. Itâs safe to assume theyâre experienced players. To your left, Taehyung is whispering something to Jimin, completely ignoring Hoseokâs spiel.Â
At least Seokjin, on your right, seems slightly dazed by the long list of rules that Hoseokâs rattling off. Now that you think of it, youâve never seen Seokjin in any athletic context. As far as you know, he doesnât play any sports, just like you and Taehyung, and heâs not a gym rat. So you have no idea what to expect from him on the court. Maybe heâll be just as awkward as youâre expecting to be.Â
âAny questions?â Hoseok finishes up. Thereâs a moment of silence from the group, and then he claps his hands. âOkay! Then letâs warm up a little.â
You move from the bleachers to a mat on the floor and Hoseok leads everyone through a series of stretches. Itâs been a long time since youâve done any, so youâre not surprised when your toes remain fully out of your reach. Jimin, on the other hand, has folded himself in half, forehead practically touching the ground as he holds on to both feet. Turning to Seokjin to make a comment, youâre surprised to find him in a similar position.
He catches you looking. âYoga,â he explains with a wink.Â
âDamn. Maybe I should start,â you grunt, giving up.Â
âThe games are played with teams of five, which means weâll have four alternates for each match,â Hoseok explains once everyoneâs limbered up. âFor today, Iâd like us to run through a practice game, four on each side. Iâm going to stay out and watch, to help me get a feel for who might be a starter and who might be an alt.âÂ
The group splits in half, with you, Taehyung, Seokjin, and Jimin on one side, and the rest on the other. Hoseok stands at one end of the line in the middle of the court, where six balls lie waiting.Â
âOkay, ready, set!â And with a sharp blast of the whistle hanging from his neck, Hoseok brings the game to a start.Â
Immediately, Jimin and Taehyung run forward towards the center line, reaching for a ball each, while the other team mirrors their actions, rushing forward. But you? You freeze in the scramble, hands automatically coming up to shield your head. And as the first balls fly towards your side, you scream.Â
And so does Seokjin.
âShit!â you curse as one of the rubber balls bounces off your arm. Thatâs definitely going to leave a mark.Â
âFuck!â Seokjin yelps as heâs smacked in the shoulder by another ball.Â
Tweet!
The action stops as Hoseok blows his whistle. His sunny smile is gone, replaced by an intense look, eyebrows furrowed, mouth turned down. Itâs intimidating, especially since itâs aimed directly at you.
âThat was⊠not bad,â he says slowly through gritted teeth, speaking as though the words hurt him. âBut maybe this time, you two should try joining the opening rush? Remember, no one can throw a ball at you as long as youâre in the neutral zone, so youâll have time to grab and get back out of the line of fire.âÂ
He glances from you to Seokjin, who nods as you grin in embarrasment. Great, youâve already been identified as a weak player. You were hoping you could at least pretend to know what you were doing for a little while. Fly under the radar.
Taehyung wraps an arm around your waist. âCome on, ladybug, itâs not that scary. You just gotta jump in. Donât think, just go.âÂ
You shake him off with a scoff. Easy for him to say. You saw the way he was running around the court a minute ago, taking to the chaos like a duck to water. Shouldâve known heâd turn out to be a natural athlete on top of all his other annoyingly amazing traits.Â
The game restarts, and this time you make an attempt to run towards the center line, but still hesitate, flashbacks of being pelted with balls running through your brain. Why did you agree to this? You always hated dodgeball in school!Â
Seokjin, on the other hand, joins Jimin and Taehyung at the line, and scoops up a ball before dashing back to where youâre frozen. The balls start flying again, and once again youâre out before anyone else. After a few more minutes, Hoseok ends the play.Â
âThat was better!â he nods. âBut letâs try it again, and this time maybe you can make it all the way forward, huh, YN?â His tone is encouraging, but his smile seems strained.Â
As you shuffle back towards the end of the court, you nudge Jimin. âIs Hoseok okay? He looks a little stressed.âÂ
Jimin shoots you a lopsided smile. âHeâs trying not to be as⊠intense⊠as he usually gets. We got kicked off our last team because he went a little overboard with his, uh, enthusiasm during the practice matches.âÂ
The whistle blows before youâre ready, and you decide to take Taehyungâs advice, so you bolt forward without thinking, snatch up a ball, and then back away, not wanting to turn your back to the men behind you. In doing so, you catch Wooshikâs eye, and he grins coldly, winding up.Â
âShit!â you yell, jumping out of the way in time. Taehyung dives in to catch it, sending Wooshik out of the game. But youâre not safe, as Seojoon takes aim next. Seokjin is next to you, trying to decide where to throw the ball in his hand, so you duck behind him, mimicking his movements. Eventually, he realizes he has a shadow.
âAre you using me as a human shield?â He bobs to the left. You follow.
âItâs not my fault youâre so broad!â
Seokjin honks a noisy mix of delighted laughter and insulted exclamation. Seojoon tires of waiting for you to emerge from behind Seokjin, so he pitches the ball forward, a low toss heading for Seokjinâs legs. Seokjin bends gracefully to catch the difficult throw, taking Seojoon out of the game, and as Seokjin doubles over, you snap the ball in your hands towards Hyungsik, hitting him directly in the side. Another ball rolls towards your feet, so you scoop it up and nail Sunghwan dead center of his chest.
And with that triple play, your side wins, with all four players still in.
Thereâs no whistle to end the game, as Hoseokâs mouth falls open, gawking wide-eyed at you. âSheâs a sniper,â he whispers in an awed voice. Everyone turns to stare at you.Â
âWhat?â you ask, looking around. âWhat did I do now?âÂ
According to Jimin, itâs tradition for the dodgeball teams to go out for drinks after practices and matches, so after hitting the locker room, the nine of you meet up at the Pied Piper, a quiet bar around the corner from the rec center. Thank god Taehyung convinced you to bring a change of clothes. Youâd foolishly assumed you wouldnât break a sweat, but you sure as fuck had.
Since the rec center isnât that big, the practice schedules are staggered out, with only two other teams meeting on Wednesday nights - the Dodging Divas and Rock the Balls. By the time your team arrives at the bar, the others have already claimed most of the tables. As Taehyung and the others push the remaining tables together, Hoseok, Seokjin, and you sidle up to the bar to start ordering drinks.Â
Once the bartender drifts away to start pulling drafts, Hoseok turns to you with a bright smile. âCongrats, the two of you are definitely going to be starters.âÂ
To say youâre surprised would be an understatement.Â
âMe? Really?â you squeak, glancing at Seokjin, who also appears dumbfounded. âWhy?âÂ
Hoseok leans against the bartop. âLook, Iâve been playing this game for long enough to know a strong arm when I see it,â he declares solemnly, tapping your bicep with two fingers. âI think with my help, you could be one of the best snipers out there. As for you,â he nods at Seokjin, âI think your flexibility is going to come in handy, like it does for Jimin. Also, I saw the way you two were working together on the court. If we can hone your skills, youâll be an unstoppable duo for sure.â He grins. âThe rest of the league wonât know what hit them, when the Seven Slamurai come through.âÂ
The bartender returns with the first three beers of your order, and Hoseok carries them away with another nod, leaving you and Seokjin staring at each other in silence.Â
Then you both burst into laughter.Â
âIs he for real?â Seokjin asks, eyebrows raised. The bartender sets more glasses in front of you, and he grabs one, taking a long sip.Â
âI think so. I got the idea from Jimin that dodgeball means a lot to him, but wow. What he said is absolutely ridiculous, and yet⊠I do feel oddly inspired.â
âI know what you mean.â Seokjin grins. âShould we correct him, though?â
âAbout what?â
âUs working as a team. We werenât working together so much as you were hiding behind me.âÂ
His grin turns teasing, and a retort builds itself on your tongue. But before you can fire it off, a figure at the other end of the bar catches your eye. One of the Rock the Balls gods. Namjoon, maybe? He nods at you, dimple popping as his lips curl into a slight smirk. You blink, then raise one of the glasses of beer in his direction.
Seokjin follows your gaze. âFriend of yours?âÂ
âNot really. One of the other teamsâ leaders. We met at the sign up.âÂ
Seokjin hums, giving Namjoon a second look. He taps the bartop while you help yourself to one of the pints. âHey, so what you were talking about at dinner the other night⊠about Yoongi? I just wanted to say Iâm sorry.â
You shouldâve known the subject would come back up. With a little shrug, you attempt a grin, but only succeed in a grimace. âYou donât have anything to apologize for.â
âI know. But Iâve also been where you are, having feelings for someone that go unreciprocated, so⊠Iâm sorry. I know it hurts.â He pauses, gaze locked on the glass in his hand. âFor what itâs worth, I think heâs a total idiot.âÂ
âIâm not going to argue there,â you quip, letting out an airy laugh. "But I'm the one who imagined the whole thing, so really, I'm not any smarter."
He looks at you then, a sober expression on his face. âI mean it. Heâs the idiot. Not you. So just - just donât let his stupidity have any bearing on how you might think about yourself, okay?â
You blink, wondering if youâve suddenly gone completely transparent, because heâs seeing right through you. How are you not supposed to take Yoongiâs rejection as proof that youâre unlovable? If you were lovable, then wouldnât he love you?
âI⊠okay.â Nodding, you reach for the glasses that have been sitting in front of you for a few minutes. âUm. We should probably get these to the rest of the team before they get antsy.âÂ
Taehyung pats the seat next to him when you return to the group, and Seokjin takes the empty seat on your other side. âHoseok just told us the good news,â he informs you, happily grabbing one of the beers in your hand.Â
âWhat, that Jinnie and I are gonna be starters?âÂ
âThat we are gonna be starters! You, me, hyung, Jimin-ah, and Hoseok-ssi.â Taehyung beams brightly as Jimin leans across him at the mention of his name. âHe said weâll work on our teamwork next practice, so weâre ready for our first match next weekend!â Â
âOh! Well, damn, look at us go!â You lift your glass and everyone else does the same. âCheers!âÂ
âTo teamwork!â Seokjin adds, eyes crinkling as he clinks his glass against yours. You grin back before taking a big sip. Maybe youâll survive this season after all.
Youâre not going to survive this season.Â
âCome on! Faster!â
A shrill whistle blast sounds as you hit the wall, spinning around before running back towards the center line. Itâs Thursday night, so youâre at practice again. Your team has been running drills for only ten minutes now, but youâre pretty sure youâre going to die, panting terribly as your toe hits the crosses the line.
âPick it up!â Hoseok yells as you spin again, heading back for the end of the court. As your fingertips reach the wall, he blows the whistle again, and you flatten your palms, pressing your forehead against the cold cement.Â
âI did not sign up for this,â Seokjin huffs next to you. âI signed up to dodge balls. This is not dodging balls!âÂ
âAre you two okay?â Taehyung is neither panting nor huffing as he eyes you both with concern.
âHow are you not dying like us?! You donât work out!â Yelling takes up too much of your oxygen, and you sink to the ground, legs folding underneath you.Â
Taehyung shrugs. âIt was only a few running drills. Nothing to get worked up over.âÂ
Unable to respond, you settle for giving him the evil eye. You jump as Hoseokâs whistle sounds again.
âIf he doesnât stop it with that thing, Iâm gonna make him eat it,â you mutter under your breath. Seokjinâs shoulders shake with silent laughter as he reaches out a hand to pull you to your feet.Â
Hoseokâs inner drill instructor doesnât take a break when the practice game starts, alternates on one side, starters on the other. Somehow, he manages to run, catch, throw, and yell instructions the entire time, like a demented multihyphenate. It would be impressive if it werenât irritating.Â
You play a total of three rounds against the alternates. The first round is awkward, filled mostly with Hoseokâs manic shouting. At one point, he tells you to cover the right and Taehyung to flank the left, and as the two of you run to switch sides, you run smack into each other. The alternates win.
In the second round, things go better. There are no collisions, but thereâs also not much cohesion, either. You try to repeat last practiceâs winning move, ducking behind Seokjin, but heâs too unpredictable, jumping all over the place to try to catch throws, and youâre not able to keep from getting hit. Your team loses again.
When the whistle signals the end of the round, you head for the bleachers, where youâve stashed a bottle of water and a towel, having realized last practice that both items were desperately needed. The rest of your team follows.Â
âWell, this isnât working,â Hoseok sighs, fanning himself with his shirt. âTheyâre kicking our asses.â
âMaybe - and just hear me out - yelling isnât the way to motivate us?â Jimin suggests, tossing his sweat-soaked hair out of his face. You can practically see little hearts dancing in Taehyungâs eyes as he watches the motion.
Hoseokâs head twists towards his friend, but instead of swearing at him like you expect, he just stares. âIâm. Iâm doing it again, arenât I?â
Jimin claps him lightly on the shoulder. âYep.âÂ
Hoseok stares for a few more seconds, and youâre on the verge of asking if heâs okay when he finally speaks. âOkay, new plan. Letâs just go out there and, ugh, have fun, okay?â His smile doesnât quite reach his eyes as he leads Jimin and Taehyung back out onto the court.
Seokjin leans over. âIf we lose, ten bucks says he snaps and eats that whistle himself.âÂ
You laugh, gently pushing Seokjin back onto the court.Â
âHey. Should we try that shield thing again?â
âYeah,â you nod. âI mean, I was trying last round, but you were kinda all over the place.âÂ
âIâll try to be more obvious with my moves. Or I guess you can guide me? Just tell me which way to go.âÂ
You nod, and then youâre off, running for the center line as the round starts. Without Hoseok barking orders at the group, thereâs a definite shift in the atmosphere. As you stoop to sweep up a ball, quickly diving behind Seokjinâs tall frame, scoping out your next target, it hits you - not a ball, but a thought.
Youâre having fun.
Grinning wildly, you hiss âLeft!â Seokjin immediately darts left, and you line up behind him, ready and waiting. A throw from the other team goes high, and Seokjin leaps towards it, snagging the ball out of the air. As soon as you peek out from around his side, you hit Wooshik, ball bouncing off his thigh with a satisfyingly loud âthock!â
âYes!â Seokjin throws his hand out for a high five. You slap it quickly, ducking another toss. On your other side, Hoseok and Jimin make tandem catches, and the match ends with your team victorious.
âThat was so much better! I really feel like weâre an actual team now,â Hoseok beams, looking genuinely happy again. âOne more week of practice and then itâs match time!â
The others drift towards the locker rooms as Seokjin nudges you with his hip. âDid that work better for you this time?âÂ
âYeah, it did. I guess thatâs how it should always work, huh - me giving you orders and you following them blindly?â You wrap your towel around your neck, flashing him a cheeky grin.
Seokjin laughs, running his hand through his fluffy hair, which has gotten curly in the humidity from the game. Rather than spout off a snarky retort, he tugs on the ends of your towel, pulling you towards him. His deep brown eyes trail over your face, landing on your mouth, before his gaze snaps back to yours.
âThat works for me,â he murmurs, soft smile playing on his plush lips. âJust say the word and Iâll follow.âÂ
And then he walks away.Â
You stare at the locker room doorway that he disappears into for a good minute after heâs gone, mind racing. Thatâs not the first time the two of you have been that close - both Seokjin and his brother are very cuddly people, and youâve always been comfortable with showing them affection in the form of warm hugs or snuggles on the couch. Â
But whatever just happened was not that. The moment between you felt charged. Full of something like⊠possibility.Â
With a sigh, you shake off the confusing thoughts and gather your things to head for the locker room, desperately needing a shower. And a drink.

Masterlist coming soon (around 5 estimated chapters)
Everybody loved him. His face was plastered on everything space related you could imagine. Hats, tshirts, cups, dining sets, plushies, buildings, a space station for fucks sake, they even made underwear with his charming smile all over it.Â
No one complained about it though, because it was his face. Kim Seokjin. A beloved astronaut of the solar system.Â
One of the first things that caught everyoneâs attention was the charming face underneath that helmet. Dark brown hair, kissable lips, eyes that just made you fall in love. He was a walking dreamboat. He was a part of a new class of astronauts and the handsome Kim Seokjin was already loved by the world even before he ever set foot outside the solar system.Â
But nope, if a handsome face wasnât enough, the minute he was approved to head into space, it was hard to believe he was one person.Â
Scientific discovery after scientific discovery, improvements, theories, the whole shebang. In truth, from that alone you wanted to hate him. Mr. Perfect. It was annoying. Seokjin this, seokjin that, at some point you should get tired of it right? But nope, no matter how much you tried, as an astronaut yourself, you couldnât help but admire him.Â
Not even just that, but you guys were close. No⊠not like that, he was just a good friend of yours. Yep, a friend, a great friend. Dare you say one of your best friends?Â
He probably never thought about you as such, constantly being surrounded by some of the greatest minds mankind has ever seen, you were sure that there were plenty of people he got along with better. You even saw it once.Â
A gala for all astronauts happened one day, you had been there, and of course, he had to as well. Surprisingly, for a good part of the night Seokjin was right by your side, you smiled, laughed, and drank together.Â
It was weird, before this night the two of you mostly hung outside of your work environment, he's been to your house, youâve been to his⊠this was the first time you had made your friendship known to the public. Part of you worried about the press, the headlines **KIM SEOKJINâS GIRLFRIEND??** But no, by the end of the night a group of other highly renowned astronauts, astronomers, and many other scientists were his company by the time you were leaving. No headlines.
As you were walking out you saw how happy they looked and you could only imagine the intellectual conversations they had that night. Honestly, you were just happy he spent time with you at all being the big shot that he was.
Part of you still always found yourself hoping for more.Â
Well, at least you did before it happened.Â
Seokjin remembered that day with painstaking detail, it was the worst day of his life after all.Â
You had made a discovery that made you so excited, you had bounced on the balls of your feet when you came up to tell him about your findings. Â
L/n Y/n⊠fuck even saying your name made his heart hurt.Â
You were on the cusp of one of the greatest discoveries science has ever seen. As an astrobiologist, traveling to different planets and studying its life was your job. Society had so far not found much besides a few plant-like species on a couple of distant planets, but intelligent life still remained undiscovered. You were about to change that, at least thatâs all you told him before you were making your request to head up into space and check it out.Â
Seokjin hardly had time to say goodbye to you before you were in the rocket ready to prove if your theory was correct.Â
It happened so fast, so fucking fast. Seokjin was there⊠he watched the launch happen right there in mission control. He could never forget your voice on the intercom, you were so excited.Â
The entire solar system had seen the tragedy. Media coverage was expected with the claims you had madeâ details were mostly kept under heavy security. He was proud of you, you were about to truly change the world, he was already picturing the headlines as he was about to leave mission control.Â
L/N Y/NÂ found proof that we are truly not alone.Â
He had a big smile on his face, right up till it happened. Launch was routine, you made it to the atmosphere and were all clear to jump. At this point, the most concerning part was over and he was about to leaveâŠ
Thatâs when the sirens went off. They were ultimately useless. What the world expected to see was your ship jumping through the wormhole, sailing off on an expedition that was about to change humanity. Instead they saw you enter the portal but space seemingly bending and twisting before an explosion. It wasnât big, loud, or anything spectacular as one would expect, but it was as if the entire portal itself disintegrated and collapsed in on itself.Â
Seokjin remembers how quiet it was that day in mission control. He remembered the desperate attempts to reach you, hoping a miracle had happened and you made it to the other side. He remembered the panic, that heart sinking feeling knowing that the worst had happened.Â
It happened so fast tooâŠÂ
For a few days he just didnât want to believe it, holding out hope just like mission control was. Maybe somehow you made it?
Well a few days after the accident a crew aboard a ship found a piece of your space craft. Hope died almost instanteously.Â
For a few years after that, space travel to that scale halted completely, everyone confused and terrified after the accident. Space used to be like a second home to Seokjin, but after the accident it became just as scary as it was to most people. A vacuum that wouldnât hesitate to let you know who ruled.Â
It took awhile but after a thorough investigation they found out what happened. The details still were fuzzy, teams and teams of scientists tried their hand at uncovering the details, he did as well, but the mystery of the accident remained vastly in the dark.Â
The wormhole that was opened was unstable, the dark energy that was used to keep it open long enough to make it to the other side had dropped to low levels and collapsed in on itself. What they didnât know was why that happened, why that wasnât detected beforehand, and why hadnât the incident resulted in a black hole if that was truly what occured?Â
None of it made sense. There was an internal investigation on everyone at mission control that day to see if there could have been malicious intent on clearing that Y/n was good to go through despite the unstable conditions, but it didnât take long to see that that wasnât the case. The records show that data matched ideal conditions. No one could really figure out what went wrong.Â
It took a while for far away missions to resume and it took even longer for Seokjin to eventually join back in on the missions. Your death hit everyone hard, the entire solar system grieved your loss, but for reasons that became too obvious after you were gone made it harder for Seokjin to just âmove on.â
Everytime he walked into headquarters he would remember seeing your face, whenever heâd walk to the astrophysicist department, heâd think about the way youâd cheer for him anytime heâd leave for launch. You were always there in Mission Control watching, you were always there for him. Going back was too hard without you there.Â
The first time he went back to headquarters he had a mental breakdown when he didnât see you in the lab. A bunch of new faces he didnât recognize and none of them were you.Â
But eventually, his work on earth was not enough and he needed to go back out for field research. They were small missions at first, a trip to the far out planetsâ moons, then to the neighboring solar systems, his furthest for a while was at the far out base nearly on the other side of the galaxy.Â
He didnât like traveling too far, as much as headquarters proved whatever happened to you was a freak accident, each time he left home he feared he would suffer the same fate. Years passed, but you were always on his mind, sometimes he even swore to see you in mirrors and windows, he even swore he saw you walk into your old department, the door swung open and everything but as he rushed inside all he got was concerning glances from all the nameless scientists inside.Â
He had long been diagnosed with PTSD, it only coming months after the accident and was another reason he had been grounded for so longâ he couldnât pass the readmission screening. Lots of therapy made him realize these apparitions were likely just his mind still processing the trauma, as much as he wanted to hope you were out there still.
It was mission control that sort of âinsistedâ him to get back on the job and he knew that they eventually forcefully passed his rescreening. He was better than before, but not near where an Astronaut of his nature should be at. He would sometimes see you in empty seats reflected off the windows of the spacecraft whenever heâd launch. He wasnât fine but he pretended to be.
Despite his instability on October 16th, 4122 all over the news they blasted the most basic details of his upcoming mission. A team of seven, him included, would be tasked with studying a black hole up close for the first time ever, Sagittarius A, the supermassive one at the center of the galaxy.Â
On launch day he was so nervous, too nervous really. The last time the news was this big, he never saw you again. It was a strange experience, he smiled and tried to be optimistic in front of the cameras and any interviews he had about the mission, but there was this sense of dread that wouldnât leave him as he prepared.Â
Seokjin had tried to back out of the mission multiple timesâ he tried to tell mission control he was not cut out for a mission like this, but they insisted he go. He was one of the heads in charge of conducting the study and he was also one of the most experienced astronauts on the teamâ he really had no choice but to go.
Before he could even realize he was on the ship, âThe Beyond,â and they were staring into the wormhole that was to take them straight to the center of the galaxy.Â
He had mission control in his ear telling him to calm down, they were monitoring his heart rate, but as they prepared to enter, his anxiety had gotten so bad and he started to shake so much that he had to get one of the junior astronauts on the mission to take over.Â
âUhâ this is mission controlâ Seokjin weâre picking up on an elevated heart rateâ please confirm youâre alrightâ over.â He heard over the intercom as he tried to do the breathing exercises he talked about with his therapist.Â
âCopy, This is Seokjin, just nervous.â He faintly laughed and the rest of the crew joined in.Â
âHow many times have you been out here, whatâs making you so nervous?â Jungkook, the junior astronaut who took over for him asked.Â
Part of him wondered if he should lie or make light of the situation but as he stared at the wormhole he couldnât joke about this.Â
âI keep thinking about her.â It was a simple answer, cut throat, but he was honest, painfully so. His heart ached so much and facing the very thing that killed you was almost too much to bear.Â
The only reason he hadnât broken down was he had an image to upkeep and he couldnât be one of the senior astronauts acting that way. He couldnât drag the rest of his team down.Â
The mood immediately turned sour at the mention of you. Most of the crew onboard had been there when the accident happenedâ they all knew how close you both were.Â
No one said anything, there really wasnât anything to say. Instead, Jimin, another astronaut on the team, floated over and lightly rubbed his arm.Â
âAlright mission control, we should be prepared for launch on our end.â Jungkook said happily and everyone started to head back to their seats.
âBeyond, take off will begin in t-2 minutes, over.âÂ
That dread was horrible. It was so bad that even after they launched and were staring for the first time ever with human eyes, the black hole that weâve been circling around for eons he still didnât feel anymore at ease.
The whole thing had been broadcasted, mission control lightheartedly told them the emotional reactions from people all over the solar system and that those living on the moon base had taken pictures and videos of the whole launch process.Â
Everyone was in good spirits but Seokjin as they began to step up all the equipment. They were at a good distance away from the black hole, far enough away they wouldnât be at risk of getting pulled into its gravitational field, but they got as close as they could in order to conduct their research.Â
That feeling, that sense of dread that he tried his best to ignore for the sake of the mission would not go away. It was only 4 days after their study started that he found out why.Â
EMERGENCY
EMERGENCY
EMERGENCY
The sirens continued by blare, mission control had started to break up, and the crew was frantic. The impossible had happened.Â
Only Seokjin had been awake at the time monitoring some numbers. That dread heâd been experiencing had made it hard to sleep so instead he occupied himself with the work he enjoyed, it kept him awake and his mind busy.Â
It was so sudden that Star, the A.I. program on the ship, had alerted him of an anomaly.Â
âSeokjin, there seems to have been a shift in the gravitational field.â She pointed out. At first he didnât believe her, thinking at first maybe one of the instruments had malfunctioned or something had damaged the equipment, but as he looked out the window a horrible reality began setting in.Â
Seokjin had stared at the black hole for a while, trying to see if he had gone crazy or not. Heâd been staring at the black hole for 4 days straight and he knew it wasnât that close the last time he checked.Â
Heâd gone ahead and got everyone up after that.Â
âItâs not just me right.â He asked everyone as they all sleepily rubbed their eyes and looked out the window.Â
âThatâs strangeâ but we can easily set ourselves back in course. Hobi, Yoongi, try to see if you can move us back.â Namjoonâ the official head of the mission ordered the pilots.Â
They both nodded before getting into position. Mission control had picked up on the strange occurrence as well and had agreed with Namjoonâs plan.Â
Everyone thought this would be a simple fix, even Seokjin had calmed down slightly thinking this was just one of those weird stories heâd have to tell later, but the minute heâd relaxed slightly was when everything went from strange toâŠ
As they both switched to manual piloting and turned the ship around to try and pull themselves from the pull of the black hole, it seemed like it had different plans for them as the thrusters boosted the black holeâs hold on them only seemed to get stronger.Â
It was quickly concluded by the team, mission control, and their instruments that they were getting pulled inside at a rate that was increasing by the second. In that short time that it took for them to come up with a plan and act on it, the rate had exceeded what their boosters were capable of.Â
It didnât make sense and while Namjoon, Hoseok, and Yoongi were trying to figure out a new plan everyone elseâs attention turned toward the black hole out the window.Â
âHyung, what are you doing!â Namjoon exclaimed, trying to get his attention.
They sat there for a while trying to figure out a plan as the black hole got closer and closer. The plans they came up with just continued to fail, and the more fearful or frantic everyone became.Â
The relatively lighthearted mood in the ship turned somber and desperate.Â
âHyung, weâll be alright⊠right?â Jungkook questioned. He and Seokjin had been sitting together on the floor, right below where the window was. Heâd been relatively quiet this whole time, everyone not wanting to disturb anyone in case they got an idea.Â
âIâm sure weâll be fine, someone will come up with something. Iâve been in a couple situations like this where the end seemed so close before someone got an idea at the last minute and we were saved.â Seokjin tried to reassure him.Â
He wasnât lying either. Before your accident Seokjin used to travel so many times, he used to go on so many missions that there had been a couple times heâd been in tricky situations. He probably would have never flown again if that happened now, he already was strongly considering quitting his job when he got back to the home planet.Â
It was this thought that he focused on to keep him calm enough to assist the team.Â
âGood because I havenât been on many missions yet. Thereâs so much I want to accomplish, I canât die yet.â Jungkook tried to laugh, but he saw the tears that had started streaming down his face.Â
Seokjin hurriedly went over and pulled the younger one into an embrace. This, this hurt more than the impending doom they were facing, seeing their suffering hurt more.Â
Jungkook was so young too, he was only 25, way younger than someone on a mission like this should be. He was top of his class and graduated ahead of the original class he was put into. He was doing missions pretty much as soon as he became an astronaut and quickly worked himself up to be invited to a mission like this.Â
âMy mom said a mission like this was too dangerous for meâ I wanted to prove her wrong butââ Every word was even more painful to hear. Seokjin tried to stop the pain, fear of a fate that seemed more and more likely but he couldnât.Â
Eventually Seokjin and Jungkook joined the rest of the crew to contact mission control again, but their growing proximity to the black hole was intercepting their connection and they were only vaguely able to hear the sounds of panicked voices on the other end before they would get too fuzzy to understand.Â
No one had any ideasâ no one could have prepared for a situation like this as everyone here knew what was happening was impossible. There was nothing anyone could figure out under these conditions.
As the team became more frantic Seokjin just turned to stare out the window once more.Â
Something that had seemed so intriguing a few hours before had begun to show its true colors. The glowing accretion disk that circled the sphere that looked into entirety. So many strange thoughts came to him at once.Â
He wondered what mission control might be seeing back at that moment.Â
Had the predictions been true? Had they managed to get close enough that they had started to slow down to those that were watching? Likely not, they werenât that close yet.Â
What were the headlines going to say? Would the headquarters be the same after this? Would this be the final blow that shuts down the astronaut program? Were people going to grieve in the way he hoped? Would his family miss him? What was his legacy? Was everyone going to forget about him? Everyone is forgotten.
He only hoped the research they sent back to mission control would do some good.Â
What would kill them first? The heat, the radiation, maybe they would survive long enough to get the experience of being spaghettified? Probably not though, they werenât making it past the event horizon. The last thing they would all see might be the blinding light of the accretion disk before being burned.Â
None of them could probably come out of this situation anyway. He wouldnât be surprised if by this point they had all suffered a poisonous dose of radiation positioning. They probably wouldnât survive long enough to feel the effects.Â
They were not making this, were they?
It was on cue that the sirens on the ship began to go off.Â
EMERGENCY
EMERGENCY
EMERGENCY
Mission control had tried to reach them but all they were getting at this point was static.Â
The ship was starting to creak because of the speed and the force of gravity pulling them in. It was obvious very quickly that it was going to happen soon.Â
Everyone was scared to move, scared one step would be the final blow.Â
Seokjin didnât know what to think. He wanted to cry, scream, beg for mercy but at this point he knew no one would hear him. There was nothing, absolutely nothing anyone could do at this point. Not even a miracle could save them.
He took a second to look around at all the crew.Â
Kim Namjoonâ a friend heâd met a few missions ago. A good leader that would be missed.
Min Yoongiâ One of the best engineers heâs ever met. Theyâd been friends long before your accident. He was happy he was here.
Jung Hoseokâ A pilot who could get you out of anything. The fact that he wasnât able to get them out of this was truly telling. He was really a light on the ship.Â
Park Jiminâ A lead researcher on the team along with him. Another long time friend that had been there for him when he lost you all those years ago. Heâd never met a guy as smart and caring before.
Kim Taehyungâ A long time friend of Jimin that he had recruited for this mission and had only met recently. An interesting guy who always had such unique perspectives on their findings. Seokjin only wondered what they could have found if this mission hadn't failed.
Jeon Jungkookâ A kid who really shouldnât be on a mission like this. They had only met recently, but someone he felt he needed to look after. That kid was really going to go places if the universe wasnât so cruel.Â
These were the people he was to die with. While not everyone he had known for long, he hoped for a split second they might be able to see each other again.Â
The ship started to get so hot so quickly.Â
He wished he could have thought of something, something that would have saved everyone here from this horrible fate.Â
It was so strange how they got here. It was as if a hand had plucked them out of the void and was pulling them to the center. Nothing made sense, a death even his worried brain had not forecasted.Â
Seokjin looked at everyone again. It was almost too bright to see anything anymore, but for a second longer he saw them. He saw Jungkook, an expression that matched his age, a fear so genuine it hurt to look into his big eyes that sparkled more than the stars ever did.Â
He hardly remembered what happened next, or rather, he wished he couldnât remember anything that happened next.Â
He heard a big cracking sound before everyone was being violently pulled out into space through a hole possibly.Â
He didnât know why he was able to see it, maybe he died in that moment as well, but he saw as all of his friends were pulled into space, their bodies practically vaporized instantaneously. He hoped they didnât suffer.
Space was strange in the fact that there was no sound, there was absolutely nothing. No scary noises, no dramatic soundtrack as they all met their end, nothing as grandiose as some would expect for a moment like this.Â
He couldnât scream, he couldnât cry for them, he was just subjected to the forces of nature as for some reason he was still aware and still being pulled further inside.Â
He zoomed past the event horizon, he saw space and time bend around him, he was sure he could see himself everywhere he turned. The darkness got bigger and the blinding lights around him grew fainter and fainter.Â
When would it end? When would he finally be put out of his misery?
He wished it was sooner, he felt it, his atoms all string into a single line as he was pulled even closer to the singularity.Â
Things were dark after that for a while.Â
The next thing he knew he was staring into the endless void, yet it wasnât as endless as it should be.Â
Edges, borders? What?Â
Then a glow, a glow so similar to that of which one would turn on a computerâ a very old computer at that. Â
Faces, there were faces staring at him.
Yes, heâs definitely died long before this. Was this the beyond?
âSeokjin⊠weâve been expecting you.â One of the faces said to him.Â
âWe have a mission for you.âÂ
Congratulations once again on the milestone Jen! You are amazing and deserve every big milestone coming your way! For the request can I please get prompt 19-âiâve never seen anyone look so cute and ridiculous at the same time.â with Jin? Thank you in advance and I hope you have fun writing it!

Kim Namjoon, youâre going to kill him.
Kim fucking Namjoon.
Forty five minutes ago, you were getting ready to walk to your best friend's dorm so you two could go get dinner together somewhere nearby. Now, you're sitting on his bed, Namjoon nowhere in sight, just a few feet from his roommate Seokjin.
The guy that you have the biggest, fattest crush on.
You swear Namjoon did this on purpose. That motherfucker.
You watch Seokjin as he practically screams into the mic attached to his headset, his fingers skillfully bouncing on the keyboard of the laptop in front of him, playing a game you know nothing about.
"Jungkook ah! Where the fuck were you?! I almost got killed!"
This has been going on for almost twenty minutes now - you awkwardly perched on Namjoon's bed while Seokjin either screeches in excitement when he wins, or wails in agony when he loses the game. This is the fucking worst way to spend a Saturday evening.
You glance at your phone, praying to every god to make Namjoon reply to your hundredth text message cursing him out and asking where he is. You never should've told him about your crush on his roommate. He even had the audacity to laugh when you finally revealed who the object of your affection was. That fucking guy.
Objectively speaking, Seokjin is pretty lame. From what you can tell, he basically has no social life. He doesn't party, doesn't go out, doesn't take an interest in anything that doesn't have the words "Maple Story", "Super Mario", or "League of Legends" in it. All he does is play video games all day with his friends, whom you assume are the same people he's yelling at now. Namjoon told you that once, Seokjin forgot to eat anything for two days straight because he was on his computer the entire time.
That begs the question: If Seokjin was so lame, why are you so enamored with him? The answer is very simple. Seokjin is as cute as he is lame, which is to say that he is very fucking cute. When you met him earlier in the semester when Namjoon got assigned a new roommate, it was love at first sight.
However, you don't think you've ever held a one-on-one conversation with him before. Tonight might be the first time, when he opened the door for you and said you could wait for Namjoon here. You had squeaked out a shy Yes and followed him into the room where he offered you a glass of water before he returned to his computer, leaving you to wait around for a person you knew had left you to fend for yourself in the wilderness. This is exactly why Namjoon is doing this, you think. He's been telling you for a couple weeks now to just talk to Seokjin like a normal person instead of tripping over your words like a lovestruck idiot.
Occassionally, he looks over his shoulder at you, and you have to whip your head to the other side of the room so quickly you're surprised you didn't pull a muscle, just to not make it obvious that you've been staring at him like a weirdo.
After a while, Seokjin takes off his headset only to replace it with a hat. A... cap? You don't even know what it is. It's got a face of something pink with big round eyes and purple horns, and looks like it should be a plushie instead of something to wear on one's head. His friends have probably gone elsewhere, because he turns off the shooter game he was previously engaged in to play something else by himself.
"Sorry," he says. "I was pretty loud, wasn't I?"
"No, it's fine. I didn't mind," you tell him sheepishly. "Did Joon, uh, tell you when he'd be back?"
Seokjin shrugs. "No. He just said he was going for a quick walk. Went out right before you got here, actually."
Someone give you strength.
He turns back to his screen when you give a hum in acknowledgement. You go back to sitting in silence again, only this time, you notice that when he curses at the game, he makes an effort to lower his volume. Seokjin has a really nice voice, you think. Even when he's cussing, you just want to put it on a tape and listen to it for hours on end.
Okay, that is one thought that you should probably never say aloud. Especially not to Kim fucking Namjoon.
Another 15 minutes pass until Seokjin pauses the game to down the glass of water on the table in front of you - the one between his and Namjoon's bed. You pretend to look around the room even though you've got it memorized at this point. It's pretty small, and the guys don't really have a lot of decorations. Aside from a couple of Namjoon's art prints on the wall and a few of Seokjin's stuffed animals - how fucking cute is that? Jesus Christ, you are so whipped - the room doesn't have that much personality.
You can feel him looking at you as he gulps down his water, clearly not knowing what to say either. You could pass out from the sheer awkwardness that's suffocating the space.
You clear your throat. "Can I, uhm, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"What is that on your head?"
Seokjin puts down the glass and takes off his cap, holding it out so you can see it better. "Pink Bean!" he says with a grin. Goddamn, he is beautiful.
"Is that a character?"
He gasps, running a hand through his hair - which looks so, so soft that you want nothing more than to just run your fingers through it. His eyes widen until they're almost as big as the ones on the strange Bean creature. "You don't know what Pink Bean is?!"
"Should I?" you ask, unconsciously making yourself smaller as he stares at you. Seokjin looks equally as excited as he looks offended, shooting up from his chair to bounce onto Namjoon's bed, right next to you.
Your chest almost explodes. In your head, there's a series of question marks floating around; in your heart, there's a bunch of exclamation points detonating like fireworks. Oh god, what is happening?
"Uhm, yes! It's just one of my favorite characters of all time, duh! Okay, okay, so-"
Seokjin launches straight into a whole TED talk on Pink Bean, giving you its extensive backstory and just about everything in the universe that's related to Pink Bean - the quests, its powers, something called a Chaos Pink Bean? Every word he's saying is going into one ear and out the other. To you, he might as well be speaking a different language because you understand none of it and frankly, you don't even care.
But holy moly, he is so passionate about it. He talks about this stuff like Pink Bean is the love of his life and he's gonna marry it one day. Even though you're retaining about zero percent of all this information, watching him ramble is so endearing. His eyes are so bright, and throughout this impromptu presentation of his, he has to pause for a few seconds to catch his breath from all the talking.
You stifle a laugh, and he stops. Seokjin scratches his neck, putting the cap on his head again and looking at you with a sheepish smile. "Sorry, I didn't mean to talk your ears off."
"No, no, it's just-" You shake your head with a chuckle. "I've never seen anyone look so cute and ridiculous at the same time."
As soon as the words leave your mouth, you freeze. He freezes. You want the ground to open up so you could fall into that chasm and never be seen again. Life does not have any meaning anymore. Fuck Namjoon, you're not staying here anymore.
"I mean- Not that I think you're cute, it's just- Well, wait, no, I do think you're cute, but it's not-"
You could see a deep blush painting Seokjin's face, from his cheeks to the tips of his ears. You tear your eyes away from him like the idiot that you are. Your lips part, but no words come out because your brain is just blank at this point. You knew you would say something dumb and now you're knee-deep in embarrassment in front of your crush. Stupid, stupid, stupid-
Seokjin clears his throat. "Do you and Namjoon have plans tonight?"
You purse your lips and nod, though you're not sure if he's still looking at you because you're suddenly so keen on not looking at him. "We're just getting dinner," you say with faux nonchalance, as if you hadn't just called him cute two seconds ago and both of you seemed to have absolutely no idea what to do about it. "Joon said there's a new ramen place or something near campus."
"Is it the place where they have ramen sliders? I told him about that place. I've been meaning to go too but, uhm, I don't have anyone to go with."
Oh, hell no. You are not going to invite him to join you and Namjoon after that comment. In fact, you're not going to see Seokjin ever again. You're going to make Namjoon apply for a room reassignment just so you don't have to cross paths with Seokjin. Welp, this silly crush has been fun and miserable. Goodbye forever-
"If Namjoon ditches you, we can probably go together. Or something. Maybe. I don't know."
Your body stiffens, and you know he can probably tell since he's still sitting so close to you and you're not exactly being subtle. Heat creeps up your neck and splatters color onto your cheeks. You're thankful that your hair can cover some of it to preserve what little dignity you have left.
"It's okay. You don't have to. I'll probably- I should, no-" you stammer, "I'll just go home."
"Y/N," Seokjin says, "it's dinner. I'm pretty sure we'll survive a meal together."
"No, I know. It's-"
"Okay. Then let's go."
Before you can say anything, he's standing up. Your panicked eyes follow him as he moves to his side of the room to grab his jacket and ditch the Pink Bean hat. You rush to your feet, spluttering out every polite variation of No, please don't make me do this. I'm practically in love with you and this will only kill me dead that you could think off, but Seokjin is already ushering you out the door.
When he stops by the entryway to grab his keys on bowl next to the door, you could feel his chest pressed against your back. You're going insane with nerves and butterflies and mortification and anticipation and infatuation with this man and this is not fucking helping.
Behind you, Seokjin's low voice sends shivers down your spine with what he tells you next.
"For the record, I think you're cute too."

âWhatâs got your panties in a twist?â
The sound of your voice pulls Jungkook from his thoughts as he brings the car to a stop. He turns to look at you and deepens the frown thatâs been present your entire journey home from work. âWhat?â
You gesture to his face, where irritation contorts his usually soft features; eyebrows furrowed and lips pursed together tightly. Thereâs a tongue poking the inside of a cheek once in a while.
Jungkook runs a hand through his hair in frustration, sighing heavily as he glares at the red light in front of him in a silent prayer because he can not wait to get out of this stuffy car and away from you.

Turn Back Time (KSJ x F!Reader)
pairing: baseball player!Seokjin x doctor!reader (based on the movie 13 Going On 30) genres/au/rating: fluff, humour, angst, smut, time travel au, 18+ summary: After total humiliation at his middle school baseball try outs, Kim Seokjin wants nothing more than for his awkward years to fade away until heâs thirty. Cue a magic baseball glove, and his wish is finally granted. Seokjin suddenly wakes up seventeen years later, now the star pitcher of the team heâd always dreamed of playing for. Confused and overwhelmed at the prospect of the new life waiting for him, he turns to the only person who seems to understand him â you. Will Seokjin learn what it truly means to be thirty, flirty, and thriving? Or will he find himself wishing he could turn back time?
warnings: bodyswap au (kind of), alternating pov, teenage insecurities, bullying, Seokjin is confused, mention of sports injury, thirst, mentions of hangover, sassy thirteen year olds, mentioned infidelity (not between main characters), cheating (like in sports), swearing, angsty confessions, smut warnings: nudity, Seokjin pops a semi at the wrong time, soft!dom Jin, making out, heavy petting, dry humping, nipple play, unprotected s*x (wrap it before you tap it)
word count: 13.3k a/n: a very happy early 30th bday to our WWH! This is my submission for the Catch of The Century collab hosted by myself, @joheunsaram, and @kithtaehyung! I was super excited writing the role reversal with Seokjin, and 13 Going On 30 is only one of my favorite movies ever (seriously, it never misses on every single rewatch). I also just miss Jin so much T_T I hope you all enjoy đ also ty to Mars for beta-reading this as well!
listen to the playlist here!
The envelope crinkles as itâs handed to Seokjin, and his heart drops before he can even pause his iPod and yank his earbuds out, the Black Eyed Peas providing the soundtrack to his humiliation.Â
Sighing, he looks at his face twisted mid-expression, half-smile and half-grimace, the metal of his braces glinting against the camera flash, and wonders why the photographer had even bothered counting down if he wasnât going to wait for him to smile for the photo anyway. Not to mention the packet had been inappropriately labeled âSuckjinâ. His eomma would be so disappointed. Looking around, he pushes his glasses up onto his nose before shoving the damn thing into his backpack, where it hopefully wouldnât see the light of day for a few more hours.
âKim!â
Seokjin bites back a groan at the voice bellowing in the hallway, turning to see Jackson Wang and his posse of baseball boys strolling up to him. He and Jackson werenât friends, at least not in the traditional sense of the word, but it wasnât like they hated each other either. They had a mutual agreement - Seokjin would offer to do Jacksonâs algebra homework for the semester, and Jackson promised him a try-out spot for the schoolâs baseball team.
To Seokjin, it was worth it. The baseball team was at the height of status in their janky middle school - everyone knew the players on the team were the coolest, sporting the finest threads walking through the hallways, and tipping their caps to make the girls scream. But it was more than that - for as long as he could remember, Seokjin had always been the lame kid. The one that faded into the background, hiding his acne-laden face under his mop of dark hair, constantly fiddling with his glasses. He hated that.
For once, he wanted to be the special one. The one who hit the winning home run at the game, the one who made all his fellow students and teachers scream with joy, who brought the school to victory. Then no one would ever forget him again. And now, with a try-out spot on the horizon, he finally got his chance.

a/n: I wrote this drabble for a request that got deleted a while back, but here it is edited and revamped and ready to be released into the world.
"Fuck Jungkook, you fucking jerk!"
Images of his stupid, pretty face flash behind your eyes as your head falls against the shower wall. Hot water hits your skin, dripping down your body, the curves of your chest and waist, and trails off your wrist. Your fingers aren't very big or long -- not like his -- but you'll be damned before you verbally admit how desperate you are to have his fingers inside you.
It's shameful to fantasize about your worst enemy while pleasuring yourself in the shower. Maybe you're sick or maybe he's just that fucking hot. Either way, if anyone found out just how often you think about him in this way, your entire life would be over. No one does this, but the opportunity of Jungkook kneeling between your legs and responsibly sopping up the mess he's caused makes you shudder with anticipation.
Softly closing your eyes, you can picture how he might feel against you, where he might kiss, how he might touch you. Are you insane to want that? After everything he's done to you? Maybe. Probably. Fuck you don't know.
Spreading your fingers, you attempt to stretch your already sore cunt until you feel a sharp sting. Is he this big? Bigger? You place your thumb over your clit to numb the pain, sighing his name as you feel yourself nearing a beautiful high.
It's no use. You've never been able to cum on your own. Not once. It's painfully upsetting that the only person who could possibly make you cum is the only person you would drop dead before asking for help.
You've turned it into a little game though, for loss of a better alternative. Jungkook is so the type to edge you on, you just know it. He'd tease you relentlessly with his body just like he teases you with his words. And hell, you love that headcannon.
He'd be leaning over you, your body writhing with pleasure after hours and hours of being trapped beneath him, clenching around his massive cock as it pulses inside you. His teeth would be on your neck, biting like he's trying to eat you and leaving behind bruises that spell his name on your skin. With a cocky smirk and a snap of his hips, he'd always hit that perfect spot, always. Because he knows you, he knows your body, he knows what you like and how you like it. And after you've begged enough to please him, he might just give you what you want.
"...please," you beg absolutely no one in particular, "let me cum, damn it."
"You promise to be a good girl?"
Shit you can actually hear him now, his smooth voice like acid in your ears sending waves through your body as it mixes with the faint patter of the shower. Poisonous but you like it.
"Yes! I promise, I'll be a good girl for you, Jungkook, so let me, ahhh, let me cum all over your dick."
He hisses, "I don't know, this seems kinda fast. Don't you think we should at least go on a date or something first?"
Wait a second.
You pick up your head and widen your eyes to see him leaning against the foggy, full body mirror across from your shower with a ridiculously cocky tongue poking the inside of his cheek.
You're petrified. He straight up laughs.
"What are you doing here?!"
His expression falls. "I live here, remember? Or did your dumbass brain forget I pay half the rent."
You roll your eyes and cut the water, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around yourself. "Go away, Jungkook."
"But you were calling for me," he bites his lip, following you around the apartment as you collect clothes from the dyer and lotion from the closet.
"I wasn't calling for you."
"Then what were you doing?" he asks with a sly smile. "Sounded like begging to me. Sounded nice."
Your cheeks heat up, the painful throbbing between your legs hasn't stopped since you left the bathroom and this is not helping either. Stopping in front of your vanity, you attempt not to let your head explode.
"You were thinking about me in the shower."
"I was not."
"Liar."
He doesn't touch you but he does get as close as possible, leaning over your shoulder like a damn serial killer or something, hot breath fanning your ear and hands hovering over your towel, just waiting for you to give him the go to rip it off.
"I think about you too. At night, when I'm alone in my bed and I can't fall asleep. I think about you, what you sound like, what you taste like. Fuck I wanna know what you taste like so bad."
He's mere inches from touching your skin, arm coming around your frame to the front of your body, hovering just in front your legs, fingers lightly tracing the edge of your towel. You can feel your resolve breaking.
"I hate you," you sigh, closing your eyes to highten the feeling of his presence.
He chuckles, "The feeling is mutual. But does that mean we can't make each other feel good? You seemed awfully close in the shower, I'm sure it wouldn't take much. Let me help you." His lips ghost the shell of your ear and even though he still isn't directly touching you, your body feels sparks everywhere he hovers.
"Just one time?"
"Just one time," he promises.
"Just your fingers."
"Just my fingers."
His hand disappears inside your towel, soft digits poking at the crease between your clenched thighs until you separate them willingly. It only takes one touch and you gasp, every nerve ending in your body lighting up like fireworks. It's so much better than you even imagined, his middle finger sliding over your slit before flicking your clit with expertise, as if he's always known you. When he thrusts two fingers inside, you bend at the will of his touch, falling into his chest and reaching behind your head to hold onto him.
He doesn't mind. Dipping his lips into your neck, it's the perfect placement for you to grip his hair and pull each time the hilt of his palm rubs against your clit and his fingers thrust deep inside your soaking hole. He reaches deeper than you ever could, stretching you perfectly. Even though he promised just his fingers, you imagine this is how he would prep you to take his dick.
Oh, and he would have to prep you. You can tell that much just from the feel of him pressing into your ass. He's swollen inside his sweats, painful and obviously in need. But he doesn't grind, doesn't roll his hips. He just holds you flush against him, a solid support for your weakening knees that threaten to collapse beneath you. He stays focused on getting you off because you begged for his fingers so nicely. It's the least he should do for such a good girl.
Just like he said, it doesn't take much. Your pussy clenches around his fingers as your orgasm rips through your body, subtle waves pulsing from your stomach to the tips of your toes. You let out a strangled moan of his name, causing a wicked smile to grace his lips. His fingers fuck you through it all, coated in your juices and sliding over your clit easily until your trembling from overstimulation.
"Too much," you whimper, breathless when he continues to abuse your poor bundle of nerves.
"You couldn't cum, could you?"
"What?"
"In the shower. You touched yourself for so long but you couldn't do it on your own. I touched you for five minutes and you cream like that? You need me, admit it."
His words crush you but he's right. Even now, as he suddenly pulls his hand away, you can feel your walls still spasming in earnest begging for his fingers to return, or even better, for his cock to fill you up.
He watches you twist around to face him. Slowly, you look at him with deep eyes sinking into his gaze and a voiceless question on your lips.
"Say it," he commands. "Say you need me to make you cum."
It's pointless. You caved. He touched you. You let him. You liked it. But still. There's something in his eyes that has you pausing. A hunger. Restrains that aren't doing much as this point, they're bound to snap any second as he leans closer, eyes fanning over your face and bouncing between your lips and your nose.
Your towel drops to the ground. "I need you."
He scans your body up and down, swallowing hard when he see the absolute mess between your legs dripping down your thigh. He wants to touch you again, but stops.
"Just my fingers?"
He needs you to say it, give him permission to use more, do more. When his tongue pokes out and wets his lips, you get an idea of what he's thinking.
"No." You place his hands on your ass and urge him to give a tight squeeze. "Said you wanna know how I taste. Wanna know what your name sounds like when I'm filled with your cock, don't you?"
There's a physically obvious effect your words have on him. With his fingers digging into your ass and pulling you roughly against his body now, his dick straining against his sweats and poking between your thighs. He sighs, deep like gravel and then inhales a sharp hiss as his hips grind against you and his teeth nibble at the sensitive skin of your bottom lip.
"Just one time?"
"Just one time."
