RM | Kim Namjoon
Graygender: Outside the gender binary, with a strong natural ambivalence about gender identity or gender expression; a weak sense of gender identity.
Namjoon wasn't particularly nervous
More like he had questions about how exactly you would react
In his logical mind, he knew you wouldn't be upset, so he tried his best not to worry
One day, when you were cuddling on the sofa, he looked at you and smiled
He wanted to get it over with
He couldn't anticipate any reaction other than good or he would lose hope and back out of telling you
"M/N, I'm graygender." he stated
You looked at him in confusion, not knowing what that was
He noticed and started to explain it to you
"It basically means that I have a very weak sense of my own gender. I couldn't tell you if I was a boy or a girl or something in between. Honestly, my gender is little to none. It's- It's like a slightly more gendered form of agender."
You smiled at him and nodded
"Okay. That's fine with me."
He cuddled you tighter before posing his next question
"Do you think you could call me 'they' instead of 'he'? And stop calling me your boyfriend? I don't really like gendered terms."
"Of course, baby. Anything you want."
Namjoon kissed you all over your face, happy they didn't back out of telling you
"I love you so much." they spoke
"I love you too, baby. Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me."
"I'd trust you with my life, M/N."
Jin | Kim Seokjin
Genderfluid: A person who does not identify as having a single unchanging gender.
Seokjin had struggled with his identity for a long time
He loved pink, but it was girly, so he couldn't like it anymore
Armys called him 'princess' and the 'mother' of the group, and all he could do was insist he was a boy
He didn't want to face up to the idea he could be anything else
But he was getting older, and he didn't want to live in pain any longer
So he researched meticulously; any gender identity you could name, he had heard about it
Seokjin searched his innermost thoughts and feelings
Tried to read himself like a book
And he finally, finally landed on genderfluid
And then, all he wanted to do was tell the man he loved, but he was scared
So one day, when you were sitting on your living room sofa, he stared down at his hands and fiddled with his fingers
"M/N, I want you to know something."
Your mind searched the worst possibilities; was he cheating on you?
But that was far from the truth
He began to explain everything quietly
"I-I've fought with myself for a long time. I didn't want to admit that I was different. But I can't do it anymore. So, I'm genderfluid. Some days, I feel like a guy, and other days, I feel like a girl. Sometimes I don't really feel like either."
You were okay with it immediately
In your eyes, this could never change the way you felt about him
"I know you're gay, M/N. I would get it if you weren't happy about this. I just don't want to pretend anymore. I don't want to keep telling myself that it's not what I feel, because it is. I feel it all the time."
You took one of his hands in your own, lifting his chin up with the other
You just wanted him to look at you so you could tell him it was okay
That it didn't make you love him any less
He smiled a little, although still nervous
"I think, I want you to call me different pronouns based on how I feel. I don't know how exactly you'd figure it out, but I'm sure we could come up with something. I-Is that okay?"
You reassured him again that everything was alright
You just wanted him to be happy with himself
"What do you feel like right now?" you asked
"I guess neither. So maybe 'they'?"
"Alright. 'They' it is!"
Seokjin was almost overwhelmed with emotion
You, the man they were in love with, accepted them for who they were
They thanked you, and you quickly told them there was nothing to thank you for
You simply loved them for who they were, and that was it
Suga | Min Yoongi
Agender: Not having a gender; a lack of gender.
Yoongi wasn't too worried that you wouldn't accept him
Yet a part of him was still full of anxiety
Coming out to you was nerve-wracking, whether you would accept him or not
But he didn't want to hide himself from you anymore
One Sunday, you were sat at the kitchen table eating lunch
"I need you to know something about me." he spoke
You simply said 'okay' and waited for him to continue
"So, my identity is something that I've always wondered about. When I was younger, in school, I never felt that I fit in with the boys. But I didn't want to be a girl either." he started
"I was confused for a long time, so when I got older, I started looking into it online. I found this word, 'agender', meaning I don't have a gender. It felt like I finally had an identity."
He breathed out before continuing
"I know you started dating me under the impression that I'm a man, and this might change some things. But you're a big part of my life, perhaps even the biggest part, and I would like you to know who I really am."
"In most ways, this doesn't need to change how you refer to me. I'm not uncomfortable with being addressed as 'he'. But when it comes to my actual gender identity, I don't have a gender. I'm just me. So being called your partner, and you not calling me a man: I would like that."
You smiled at him fondly, him smiling back sheepishly
"Yoongi, your gender doesn't make a difference to me. I'm happy you feel comfortable enough to tell me who you are, and I can assure you that I'll only call you the things that you like being called."
"I understand you might've been worried, since I'm gay and all, but when it comes to you, that doesn't matter. I love you for who you are, not because I thought you were a man. Alright?"
"Okay." Yoongi replied
His anxiety subsided immediately and you continued eating lunch, only now you knew who he was
And you loved him for exactly that
J-Hope | Jung Hoseok
Demiboy: Someone who identifies at least partially as a boy or with aspects of masculinity, but whose gender identity is not fully male.
Hoseok decided that the right time to tell you was in bed, just after you'd slept together
Why? Who knows, but this was it
Once he had caught his breath, he turned onto his side to face you
"M/N, I want you to know that... I'm a demiboy. Basically, it means that I'm only partially a man."
"Well you look fully male to me..." you replied, tracing your hand over his stomach, thinking he was talking about his body
He furrowed his brows before realizing what you thought
"No, I don't mean my body. I mean my gender. My identity."
You panicked for a moment, worried you had upset him with what you said
"Oh, I'm sorry, Hobi. I didn't mean-" you started, but he cut you off
"Don't worry, I know you weren't trying to invalidate me. It's not a well-known word, so I understand."
You nodded, still a little concerned
"In terms of my gender identity, it means I don't feel like I'm entirely a man. Part of me is, but there's other parts of me that don't feel so masculine. I don't know what they are, so all I can tell you is that I'm at least partially a man."
"That's where the term 'demiboy' comes in. The other parts of me... they're just ambiguous. I can't tell you what they are, because I don't know."
You gave him a look of understanding and nodded again
Wondering if he had more to say
"I know you're gay. Which means that maybe you won't like the fact that I'm not just a man. But I want you to know."
You waited another moment before replying
"Hobi, first off: this is a really weird time to bring up gender." you chuckled
He laughed back, appreciating your normalcy
"Secondly, there is nothing you could say that would change how I feel about you. Yes, ordinarily, I'm attracted to men. But you know who I'm most attracted to? You. Man, woman, part man and part whatever the fuck else, you are the one I love. I did not fall in love with your gender. I fell in love with you."
Hoseok smiled and leaned over to kiss you
"I love you too, M/N."
Jimin | Park Jimin
Bigender: A person whose gender identity encompasses two genders.
Jimin had a whole lot of fear
He knew you were okay with transgender people, that you would be more than willing to date one and see them as the gender they identify with
But you didn't like girls, and part of him was a girl
He also didn't know if you'd understand the idea that someone could be both man and woman at the same time
So you sat there on your date night, watching the way his eyes looked like he was battling something
"Jiji, is everything okay?"
"No. No, it's not." he replied
You asked what was going on, and he reached for your hands across the table
You were 99% convinced at that point that a breakup was coming
"Jimin, you're scaring me..."
"No, please don't be scared! I just need to tell you something."
"Go on..."
Jimin squeezed your hands gently, kissing each of them once
"Whatever I say to you, promise you won't leave me."
"Jimin-" your eyes widened in fear before you were cut off
"Just promise me."
"I promise."
He sighed and buried his head in your intertwined hands before looking back up at you
He had no reason to be scared, yet he was petrified
"Okay. Okay. I feel like both a man and a woman. I don't know if you've heard of bigender. But that's who I am."
Your expression softened as you looked in his eyes
"Jimin, that's what you're so scared about?" you questioned, a hint of disbelief in your tone
He only nodded his head meekly, trying to hide away from your gaze
"Sweetheart... whether you're a man, a woman, both, or neither is the least of my concerns."
"But you're gay. And I'm a girl too. You don't like girls."
"Not usually, no. But I love you. I love you so much, so you being a girl as well as a guy has no effect on me, Jiji."
"But what if- what if I wanted you to call me a girl too, M/N? What if I wanted you to start using 'she' as well as 'he'?"
"Then I will absolutely do those things. You were my baby boy, and now you can be my baby girl too." you smiled
Jimin smiled back brightly, kissing your hands again
"I love you, M/N." she spoke, "So, so much."
"I love you too, Jiji. Please don't ever be afraid to tell me things."
"I won't anymore. I promise."
V | Kim Taehyung
Non-Binary: Not fully male or female; a gender that falls outside the gender binary.
Taehyung was 100% convinced you were gonna leave him
After all, you fell in love with a man, and he simply wasn't one
When you got home from work one day, you found him sitting on the couch in silence
You walked over and sat next to him
"Are you okay, baby?" you questioned
"N-No... I need to talk to you about something."
"Alright, go ahead, sweetie."
Taehyung immediately burst into tears
You pulled him into your lap and wrapped your arms around him
"Baby boy," you said without thinking, "tell me what's wrong."
Taehyung only cried harder at your words, although he knew it wasn't your fault
"Please don't call me that." he spoke
You furrowed your brows in confusion
Taehyung never seemed to mind that nickname before
"I'm sorry, sweetie. Why don't you just tell me what's wrong?"
"I-I'm not a boy. 'M not."
"What do you mean, baby? Like, you're transgender? You're a girl?" you questioned
"No, no. 'M not a girl either. 'M just- 'M just a person. I don't wanna be called a boy or a girl. 'M non-binary. I'm so sorry, M/N." he sobbed out
You ran your hands through Taehyung's hair gently
"Sweetheart, there's nothing to be sorry about. You are who you are. I love you no matter what."
"B-But you're gay. You only fell in love with me because you thought I was a man. But 'm not. 'M not a man."
"Taehyung, listen to me very carefully. I may be gay, and I may have started dating you as a man, but nothing could change the way I feel about you. You could be a girl, the literal opposite of the gender I like, and I would still be so in love with you. Gender doesn't matter to me anymore. I just want you."
Taehyung sniffled and looked at you, hoping you were being sincere
"You're not gonna leave me?" he asked
"No, baby, of course not. I would never leave you. I just wanna know how you'd like me to refer to you." you explained
"O-Okay. Um... I don't mind my name, but- but I don't wanna be called a boy or a girl. You can call me your partner if you want. And I don't like being called 'he'. I-I like the sound of 'they'. But y-you don't have to- to do that if you don't want to."
You looked at them with a sad expression
All you wished was that they could see how much you loved them
"Taehyung, my sweet baby, what I want is for you to be happy. If what makes you happy is being my partner, and being referred to as 'they', I don't have any problem with that. I just want to do what makes you comfortable, okay?"
Taehyung leaned further into you, clutching onto you like they were falling
And they were falling; even more in love with you than they thought possible
"I love you so much, M/N. So, so much."
"I love you too. More than anything in the world, Taehyung."
Jung Kook | Jeon Jungkook
Genderqueer: A gender identity that does not correspond to conventional binary gender distinctions.
You and Jungkook were out on a date at a restaurant when he decided it was time to tell you who he was
You sat across from him on a table, waiting for dessert to arrive
"M/N, there's something we need to talk about."
"Is everything okay? What is it?"
He looked down and chuckled nervously
"Okay, here it goes: I've been thinking about my gender for a while. I never really thought that just being a boy fit me. So I started looking into different gender identities online, and experimenting with certain things."
You listened patiently as Jungkook continued, doing your best to take in all the things he was saying
"I felt that the term 'genderqueer' fit who I was the best. It basically means that my gender doesn't really correlate to any traditional binary gender traits. So I'm not really a guy, at least I don't feel all that much like one, nor do I feel too much like a girl. My gender is just... unconventional. I don't think I really fit into one box. And I hope that you'll accept me for who I am."
You stayed quiet for a moment, still processing all the information
Jungkook looked up at you nervously; you looked like you were thinking deeply about it
Eventually, you looked back at him with furrowed brows
"Jungkook, I'm not sure what you expected me to say. I may be gay, but that couldn't matter less to me at this point. I love you for who you are, man or not, and I'm happy to call you whatever you want to be called." you explained
He seemed unsure for a moment, asking if you really meant it
Of course, you did
"So have you thought about what you like being called?"
"Well, I've been experimenting with different things lately; seeing what I like to call myself first. And I think I'm okay with most things. Boyfriend, girlfriend, partner. I like my name as it is. For pronouns, I don't really mind. He, she, they; I like all of them, so you can call me all of them. I guess I don't really have much preference, but I'd like it if you didn't stick to one."
"Of course, baby. I'll use all of them." you agreed
Jungkook smiled up at you, both relieved and excited about your reaction
"You really don't mind?" they asked
"I don't mind at all. If it's who you are, then I want to make you comfortable, Jungkookie. I love you more than anything I've ever seen and anyone I've ever known. All I want is for you to be who you are around me."
She appreciated that more than you could ever know
