pairing

oc x park jimin

prompt

❛ oh, so now you care? ❜

❛ i didn’t know where else to go. ❜

p.s.

ily :3

summary: your former fuck boy/friends with benefits show up with a surprise in his arms.

✨ title: the fine art of bullsh*t | ✨ pairing: jimin x f!reader ✨ genre/au: former fwb, angst, a dash of fluff and humor ✨ word count: 1.7k | ✨ rating: m/18+, minors dni ✨ warnings: language, jimin is a cheater (sorry), jimin isn’t that great of a guy, dom!jimin, unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it folks), voyeurism?, spanking, creampie, cum stuffing, talks of nipples (not that kind) ✨ prompt: i didn’t know where else to go ✨ a/n: i love you arden. thanks for requesting this, and i'll stop torturing you when you admit jimin's your bias. xoxo.

Memories are the worst form of torture, is what you thought when you found the bracelet that Jimin gifted you for your birthday. Since you were only friends with benefits, the two of you agreed not to do couple-y type things but Jimin being Jimin, broke the rules, and it wasn't the first time he did it.

Like when you agreed to friends with benefits only if he didn't go fucking around, and you'd do the same. You could not keep up with more than one fuck buddy; one was good enough, and Jimin was more than enough, for you at least.

But apparently not for Jimin, he needed more.

You'd had a long day, and Jimin wasn't answering his calls or texts. You needed to let off steam from the excruciating day at work and get fucked so hard you'd forget about the shitty day you had.

When you let yourself into his apartment, the first thing you noticed were heels, red heels, a red dress, black pants, and a white button-down trailing towards the bedroom. Your jaw clenched so tightly that the crown sitting on your tooth would need to be replaced. You crouched down to pick up the red dress, clutching it in your hands as you walked towards the noisy couple. You could hear a woman obnoxiously screaming Jimin's name along with high-pitched nasal moans.

Good god Park Jimin. He'd fuck anything that moves.

You didn't make a peep, didn't want to cockblock their sexy time, and that'd be rude. So, you stood in the doorway, arms crossed, cocking your head to the side, thinking about how much Jimin loved that position - doggy, that is.

"Jiminie, I'm gonna come," the woman cried out, continuing to pant as Jimin thrust deeply inside her.

Jimin grunted, "You're always so fucking tight for me, baby."

Always? Huh…so this isn't their first time. He'd broken yet another rule. Park Jimin had learned the fine art of bullshitting you, and you fell for it.

"Fuck–fuck–don't stop," the woman squealed as Jimin slapped his thighs into her ass, the lewd noises echoing throughout the room. "Ah–you're so fucking big."

Geez, she's fucking loud but not a liar - had to give her that, at least.

The woman's high-pitched whines indicated that Jimin did his job like he always did, and he was pretty good at it. A mere minute later, Jimin groaned loudly, pulling himself out and stuffing his cum back into her cunt. He pushed her down so her peachy ass was displayed before a loud smack filled the room. He continued kneading and massaging the red mark he had made.

Sure, she has a nice ass, but that was about it.

"My, my, my…Jimin, what a fucking great performance you put on," you said, slowly clapping, making your way towards the couple. "Don't think you're so special, sweetheart. I'm pretty sure he says that shit to every woman he fucks."

The woman and Jimin both looked mortified at being caught by you. "You didn't tell me you had a girlfriend. What the fuck?!" She quickly pulled away from Jimin, cum dripping down her legs as she brushed past you.

You didn't correct her. Girlfriend or not, you and Jimin agreed not to fuck other people. "Forgetting something, skank?" You waved the red dress in your hand as the woman narrowed her eyes at you and Jimin, hastily running away from the situation. "You always have to break the rules, don't you?"

Holding the dainty gold bracelet in your hand, you looked at it one more time before putting your foot on the pedal of the trash can and tossing it away.

Good riddance, you thought to yourself. It felt amazing to throw it away, and you didn't want any part of him lying around in your home.

Getting yourself all cozied up and ready for bed, you were about to break out into some self-care time before you heard your doorbell buzz. Looking at the clock, it was nearly ten o'clock at night, and god knows you swore off all men, so there's no way it could be a guy.

Approaching the small peephole at your front door, you rolled your eyes, mumbling curses under your breath as you unlatched the door. "What the fuck are you doing here, Park–" you didn't get to finish your sentence because what he was holding in his arm caused you to gasp.

"Hi…" Jimin said with a soft smile, but the dark circles under his eyes told a different story.

Shaking your head, you pointed to the sleeping baby. "That's not mine." Well, no shit, it's not yours, you have to be pregnant to have a baby, but you thought you should just put it out there in case he had any ideas.

"He's mine," Jimin explained. "Can I come in?"

You couldn't say no to someone holding a baby, even if it was your former fuck buddy, Park Jimin. "Yeah? I guess?" You opened the door wider, so he could fit the car seat through the threshold.

Quickly, you glanced down at the sweet baby cherub. Of course, Jimin would have a chunky monkey. You wanted to squeeze those cheeks, but you told your ovaries to shut it down.

Jimin carefully set the car seat down next to him while sitting on your couch, a spot he was familiar with. His mind floods with memories of the things the two of you did, but that was a year ago. This was the first time you'd seen one another in so long, so you suppose the snoring baby is why you never heard from him.

Taking a seat across from him, you were curious why he showed up now of all times. "Why are you here, Jimin?"

He looked at the sleeping baby before glancing in your direction. "I didn't know where else to go," he sighed in defeat, hands covering his face.

You could tell he hadn't been sleeping. The baby didn't look more than a month or two old. "And? You come to me? For what?" You didn't want to be an ass, but you didn't understand how this was your problem.

"Because you're a nurse," he stated like you should have known the reason why he was here. "Ji-ho isn't eating, and I haven't been able to take him to the doctor."

Ah, fuck. Stupid nursing code of ethics.

You sighed, leaving the brand new dad and his baby, to head to your bedroom to grab a stethoscope, and returned ready for nurse duties. You folded down the car seat's shell to get a better look at the baby boy. He looked healthy, still chubby, even though he wasn't taking a bottle.

"Is it okay if I take him out?"

"Yeah, of course."

As you unbuckle Ji-ho, he began to stir, using his little mittens to rub his face. His back arched when he stretched out his limbs. Ji-ho had a full head of hair, a button nose, and cheeks that looked like they were stuffed with golf balls. Though Jimin had fucked you over, he did make a cute baby.

You quietly shushed Ji-ho while holding him in your arms, wanting him to be calm before handing him over to Jimin. When he finally settled, you passed him off, keeping your hand steady on Ji-ho so his startle reflex wouldn't wake him.

"You're so good at this," Jimin whispered.

"It's kind of my job," you grinned, grabbing your stethoscope and placing it on Ji-ho's small frame - on his lungs, heart, and stomach. Everything seemed normal, and he wasn't running a fever when you put your hand on his head. Kneeling down in front of Jimin, you asked, "Have you tried using other kinds of nipples?"

Jimin cleared his throat, "Huh? Nipples? Like other women's nipples?"

Oh god… he's clueless.

"No, stupid–" you whispered yelled. You swear to god if he wasn't holding a baby in his arms, you'd smack him. "Bottle nipples! Sometimes you have to try different nipples and bottles to see if they like it better."

"Oh…" Jimin nodded. "I just–I have no idea what I'm doing. Ji-ho was left on my doorstep a week ago, and I'm scrambling, trying to figure everything out."

Ah geez. You couldn't help but feel bad for the guy, but he did bring this on himself. You squeezed his arm as you stood up and walked into the kitchen, opening the pantry and scouring for something.

"Here, try these," you said, holding out a brand new package of baby bottles. Jimin knitted his eyebrows together in confusion. "Don't—ask me why I have these. I just do."

Ji-ho was starting to stir again, waking up from his sleep. Soft little 'nyeh, nyeh' sounds were leaving his little lips.

"You hear that 'nyeh' sound he's making?" Jimin nodded. "That means he's hungry–just a little tip from a pediatric nurse," you winked at him. "Here, I can hold him off while you make his bottle. Wash them quickly and then make his bottle."

Ji-ho was a bit fussy in your arms, but nothing a pacifier couldn't do to hold him off while Jimin prepared his bottle. You paced around the living room, softly singing a lullaby you sang to all the babies in your ward. Jimin couldn't help but feel so endeared seeing you hold Ji-ho.

"'Kay, the bottle's ready," he said, walking towards you. Jimin gestured for you to hand Ji-ho over, but you told him it's okay, that you got it. You were sure that Jimin hadn't slept in days.

When you brought the bottle to Ji-ho's lips, he stuck out his tongue, trying to figure out if he liked it or not. He fought it for a moment before finally taking it. Whew. You knew how fickle babies could sometimes be, so you hoped these bottles would work for him.

As you were going to inform Jimin that Ji-ho liked these bottles, you looked over to see Jimin passed out on the couch, mouth agape, chest heaving rhythmically. You shook your head and peered down at the sweet cherub baby, "Looks like daddy's knocked out. Let's give him some time to sleep, hmm?"

lmao i saw this on my dash and was wondering if you felt this way

https://www.tumblr.com/16woodsequ/727490027584667648?source=share

cause you rarely write drabbles, everything you write is like full fic length and takes longer and i see you posting little progress updates and little notes about each fic without spoiling. as someone who likes to talk (may or may not be the adhd idk) i cant imagine being in your position like WEREWOLF SUNGCHAN! EXISTS! IN MY MIND! AND ON THIS DOCUMENT THAT YOU CANT SEE! BUT HE'S REAL!! HE'S REAL TO ME!! like how do you do it? having no one to scream to about your fics when you're writing? and having to wait until its completed and uploaded to have people to talk about it with? like especially with all the crack fics you're writing atm, i would be BURNING with the need to show people how funny your writing is

p.s. medication update: im going to switch from methylphenidate to dexamphetamine tmr because apparently im intolerant to ritalin and i think you're on dexamphetamine rn? im hoping that i see some benefits from it. btw your success is keeping some of my spirit and motivation up despite how abysmal ritalin was for me so thank you for posting about how Adderall was for you i really appreciate having someone experiencing meds alongside me 🫶🏻

LMAO sometimes that's me and sometimes i'm writing and i'm like "im never letting another living human see this abomination im writing rn this is the worst thing i've ever written and the only penance for what i've done is to throw myself off a cliffside" like there is no in between im either SO EXCITED FOR IT AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT AND AM SO AKSEGKJHKJGKTR or i think it's awful and consider deleting it almost immediately after like this scene for changer2 im writing rn like literally as i got this ask (im not gonna delete it but she is gonna b HEAVILY EDITED)

it's fr so hard having werewolf sungchan AND hockey player sungchan BOTH IN MY MIND RN LIKE 🤪 screams everyday i put on my uniform to go fight in the idgaf war on the side of gaf 🫡🫡🤪🤪🫡🤪🫡🤪🤪🤣🤣🫡🤪🤪🫡 lest we also not forget that single dad kun is in here too and some other fellas that yall dont know abt like its soooooo bad in here for me

sometimes i contemplate posting random one-liners or snippets when i write things that make me teehee extra hard or r like rlly 🔥🔥🚨🚨🚨 but i always get worried about spoilers versus teasers soooo i keep it locked away all to myself and maybe go a lil crazy idk who's to say so i do more vague type stuff like talking about how there's a 2.6k makeout scene without posting any actual lines from it, or saying that one of my favorite character bits that i think is genuinely super funny is in dr. magic but not saying what it is, etc., etc., OR also doing ask games like word in a wip where y'all can try to get some lil snippets from me (which i feel i am always very generous with lol)

p.s. to ur p.s.: very happy to hear that you're getting switched off the meds that weren't working for you! i'm on "amphetamine salts" (generic adderall) which is a combo of dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine, but pretty much yeah it's the big one in the amphetamine class of adhd meds. it has a sightly different effect than dextroamphetamine alone since it has levoamphetamine as well, which lasts longer and can produce better results in some people (pls go w ur dr on this im not giving medical advice omg just what i learned in my psych classes and the information i've been given). i actually just saw my dr today to check in on how i was doing on the adderall (reg check-up appt). i was rlly worried bc the initial good results i saw in the first days were practically gone after like the first week and i was practically back to normal (i.e., bad. my kitchen is a fucking mess again) and when i told him that he was like "lol that's fine! that was just the trial dose! so we can up you to a normal dose now since you saw good results at first" so hopefully i'll be functioning again 👍 so i love this for us 🫶 rooting for us 🫶🫶

#and in some GREAT news for the chronically ill girlies: i haven't had a migraine in FORTY-EIGHT DAYS #ALMOST 50 DAYS MIGRAINE FREE #THATS THE LONGEST IVE GONE MIGRAINE FREE IN LIKE OVER A YR AT LEAST MAYBE SINCE I WAS DIAGNOSED???#LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME???????#WOWOWOWOWWO #answered #✨ anon #talk #text #mine #writing tag #ALSO ALSO thinking abt doing word in a wip soon? for dr magic baby fangs changer 2 phantasma1/2 and the bite?#ANYWAY I HOPE U HAD A GOOD DAY <33 #entirely unrelated but i wish a happy bang chan day to everyone who celebrates btw #i will continue to celebrate chris day tmrrw bc itll b 10/03 where i am and we r soulmates who share a birthday #so i will b celebrating OUR birthday tmrrw <33

Hello Zieksy! ✨💖 How are you doing? I hope your day/night is doing well!

If I may, could I please ask this question? I have high hopes for Barok becoming a husband and father after he heals from the wounds caused by the past (because let’s face it, he’ll be a great one! I know he will!) What do you think are Barok’s love language? My take is that his love language consists of acts of service and quality time but more actively on the ‘acts of service’. What do you think? I love listening to what opinion you have on this, and thank you for your time! 💕💖

Hello my Angel!

I am doing pretty well. Thank you for asking. I hope all is well with you. I am always so happy to hear from you because you are such a wonderfully positive person. It’s a joy to see your name pop up on my dash.

A very interesting question! So, let’s see. The five love languages are (in no particular order):

- Words of affirmation

- Receiving gifts

- Physical touch

- Quality time

- Acts of service

I definitely do agree with your assessment. Barok is an „acts of service“ person first and foremost, with „quality time“ coming second. I think „acts of service“ and „quality time“ can also sometimes overlap, depending on what someone is doing for another person as an act of service. Further, I also wholeheartedly agree that he’d be a great father and husband (I’ve been meaning to share my thoughts with regards to this in a post, so I will do that eventually).

Overall, I think it’s a little bit of everything.

Words of affirmation: Barok does have a way with words. He puts lots of thought into his words. While the way he expresses himself in court is sometimes overly dramatic and flowery for effect, there’s no doubt in my mind that a man as educated and well-read as he is just loves playing with words, even in his private life. As a young noble he was introduced to a variety of literature and has learnt to write his own works (poetry etc.). While his words can come across as harsh/annoyed at times, this is more a reflection of his frustration with the court system and people who he thinks are not as committed/dedicated/knowledgeable as he is. It’s also that once he assumes the identity of the well-known prosecutor, everyone automatically refers to him as the Reaper and approaches him as such. After a while, that just gets on your nerves and you really don’t want to have anything to do with people anymore. Why waste your breath on niceties when everyone just sees you as a cursed murderer anyway? It’s draining. So his public persona is not necessarily an indication of how he is as a private person.

What does this mean for his loved ones? While Barok is more on the quiet side and prefers to only talk when absolutely necessary, because – to him - actions speak louder than words, he knows that his partner and children are deserving of words of affirmation. He set himself the goal of saying at least one nice thing about his loved ones every day. This can be „I love you“, „I am so grateful for you“, „Thank you for being so wonderful“, or really anything else. He likes getting creative in that regard. Sometimes his words take on the form of written notes or poems, as he loves expressing himself in writing. Every now and then he uses his free time at work to draft small love letters, which he then puts on his partner’s pillows or places them next to their cup of morning tea. Because he is also a talented singer, he enjoys surprising his loved ones with self-written songs dedicated to them. On days when our prosecutor has to spend more time at work than he would like to, he sends telegrams to his loved ones at home to let them know how much he misses them and how much he is looking forward to holding them in his arms later. There are many avenues Barok likes to explore.

Receiving gifts: As an aristocrat with too much money to spend, he has grown up with gifts. While it was never as important to him as the other love languages, he is well aware that in certain situations, a gift can express more or be more appropriate than other forms of expressing love. All of his gifts are carefully selected and bear an important meaning. Instead of gifting often, he prefers to gift in special situations, so as to not make his loved ones believe that their love can be bought. Too much of anything can be a bad thing. Barok pays close attention to what his loved ones desire. He picks up on little hints in their everyday life, such as when one of his children is shyly glancing at a particular toy in a toy store, or he notices how his partner seems to be sitting uncomfortably in their current lounge chair. It's within his nature to address such matters and surprise his loved ones with the gift they secretly long for. He himself doesn’t care much about receiving gifts. Not only because he can buy anything he wants himself, but also because physical possessions do not mean much to him. He has a few things he cares about, which are mainly his wine-related possessions and objects that hold a sentimental value. Now, if a loved one gifts him something very special, that is different. It’s the thought that counts.

Physical touch: This is definitely something he struggled with initially. Having your loved ones taken away from you and having spent over a decade as the Reaper, he couldn’t help but feel as though everyone is just trying to stab him in the back. He was also scared that he was cursed and his touch could mean death, so he thought it would be best to not get intimately involved with people. Luckily, he slowly got over this after the second game and now has a close circle of people he trusts and treasures.

Barok is a giver, not a receiver. He enjoys making his partner feel good physically in the way they desire. He has studied them long enough to know what brings them joy. The first thing he does every morning is to lean over to his partner for a morning kiss. They spend a few minutes in bed just embracing each other’s company, because being married to a prosecutor who takes on high-profile cases, you just never know if something may not happen to him, so every moment counts. He approaches them from behind randomly to place a kiss on their neck. He caresses their hair as they rest their head in his lap. Some nights he has to spend in his study to prepare for an upcoming trial, whether he likes it or not, but even then he makes it a point to get up from his desk every once in a while to spend a few minutes enjoying his partner’s warmth. Every morning before he leaves for work, he places a gentle kiss on his children’s foreheads. Every evening when he gets home, they jump into his arms as they greet him. It’s a good thing he’s built the way he’s built, because that allows him to carry all three little rascals at the same time.

On the other hand, our man also enjoys being on the receiving end of phyiscal intimacy. It’s just been too long since someone actually showed him how much he is appreciated, loved, respected even. Sometimes it still feels like a fever dream to him, but he gets used to it more and more with each day that passes.

Barok missed those displays of physical affection during his time as the Reaper. While he wasn’t all alone during those years, sadly most relationships quickly fell apart due to the stress involved. Getting to share physical intimacy now with the most important people in his life means so much more to him. Selfless love is a beautiful thing.

Quality time: Like you’ve already said, this is very important to him. He feels as though he has previously lost a whole decade, so all the time he is now able to spend with the people he cherishes, is the most valuable thing in the world to him. While his job keeps him busy, he knows that he could stop working at any point if it would interfere with his private life too much. It’s not as though he needs the money, but he enjoys helping to make London a safer place to live, an aspect his family can also benefit from, so he’s not ready to retire just yet.

His whole weekend is dedicated to quality family time. They do a variety of things: go on trips, visit the family vineyards, travel out into the countryside, attend performances, explore exhibitions and museums (much to his dismay, his children are obsessed with the infamous wax museum because they want to go see wax figure daddy as often as they can), enjoy ice cream during the short London summers, go horseback riding, and so forth. Even during the week, Barok spends as much time with his family as possible. He is happy to support his children’s hobbies and teach them new things, as he wants for them to expand their own horizons. Thanks to Klint’s positive influence when he was younger, he is a well-rounded person, which is something he wants to pass on to his own children. Every night he sets aside some time that is dedicated to his partner alone. They read together, discuss philosophy or literature, sing, dance, play the harpsichord (a family heirloom that has been passed down from generation to generation) or the piano, take strolls through their very own garden, and Barok’s partner happily agrees to some blind-tasting of his new wine creations. Despite having his own staff usually cooking for them, sometimes Barok escapes into the kitchen with his partner and children to conjure up recipes that align well with his wine creations. With his sleeves rolled up and hair secured under a hair net, his creativity knows no boundaries. The fact that he spends time with his children, even displays physical affection, sets him apart form many other Victorian era parents.

If Barok knows one thing in life, it’s how precious time is. He has experienced firsthand what it means to have your life slip away from underneath you. You can’t make up for lost time. You can only make the most out of the time you have. He also wants other people to be able to enjoy their life and treasure their loved ones, so he has granted each member of his staff four weeks off during the year that they can spend doing anything and with whom they desire. During the Christmas Holidays he doesn’t expect them to be present so that they can spend those days with their own families. Cooking, decorating, planning the whole festivities, it all falls on him. Everyone only has so much time in their life, which is why he believes that everyone deserves to allocate at least some of their time to the things that they hold dear.

Acts of service: Barok’s specialty. This is what matters most to him. He has always believed that actions speak louder than words. Words are meaningless if not supported by evidence, which may very well be the attorney in him that’s speaking here. But because he’s always been more on the quiet side, he always found it easier to display his feelings rather than talk about them. Barok is not your typical aristocrat, father and husband. While absolutely a stickler for etiquette – he just can’t help it -, he also likes being unconventional. He is very involved in household chores and dedicates much of his time to his family, much more than some of his friends dedicate to their families.

Let’s start with his staff. He knows that they are only doing their job, but because he’s compensating them well and treating them much better than some other nobles he’s familiar with, they often go out of their way to show him that they appreciate their Lord for who he is. Whether it’s baking his favourite biscuits or scones after a hard day at the Old Bailey, or fixing something around the mansion before he even had the chance to address the issue, it’s little acts of service that fill Barok with joy, as he knows that people are doing them out of an intrinsic desire. As for his children, it makes him so proud when they offer to help their daddy or his staff with chores. He sometimes has to chuckle when he sees the end result of their „work“, but it’s more out of adoration than anything else. Barok is very well aware that his partner isn’t required to do anything around the house. They could fully focus on themselves and their interests, which is exactly why it makes him so happy when he gets home to a meal they prepared, or when they have developed a new system for arranging his wine barrels, which happens a lot because he changes his mind so often (it's his decision in the end, yet he wholeheartedly appreciates the schematics his partner has drawn for him).

In turn, it is also of the utmost importance to Barok to be the one who provides these acts of service. Yes, he does have his own staff to take care of everything. They’d do really anything for him, which is a little scary to him as well. While he trusts them, in the end you just never know. Not to mention how particular he is, so he’d rather let in his own bathwater, clean his own bedroom and whatnot. But it’s also that he simply doesn’t expect his staff to do everything. They really do appreciate that their Lord is so involved. You often see him tend to the flower and vegetable gardens, dust off books in the library, clean his chalice collection, help with the dishes, get the children ready for bed, help his partner get dressed in the mornings, fix a leaking tub, things like that. He doesn’t feel like he is above any everyday tasks, no matter how mundane they may seem. It’s his way of showing affection, and he certainly doesn’t expect anything in return.

In a nutshell, yes, I do see him as someone who embraces any love language to varying degrees. Acts of service and quality time are at the top. Thanks again!

(Happy Barok is best Barok, so I really appreciate that you allowed me to think about a future, happier Barok.)
