In that case I think namjoon should admit that he’s wrong and instead they should try to prevent this from happening together instead of namjoon taking it upon himself. But I think breaking up was a very realistic thing for him to do bc he would immediately put her safety over everything else just like he did when they fought over her assault. It took him a while to realize he was being unfair to her bc he just couldn’t stand the thought of her getting hurt and that overshadowed everything else.
He might just, you never know 🤷🏻‍♀️ but yes, this should be a joint effort and the unilateral break-ups are what is pissing Kaya off the most.
Hard agree about his motivations and I’m so glad you brought up About You. A huge part of that fic was to introduce Namjoon’s fatal flaw: his extreme sense of protectiveness and how it overpowers all his other impulses. He keeps justifying his actions in the beginning, followed by trying to clear the air and part on better terms, and only months after the break-up starts questioning his actions - all because the incident would be so fresh in his mind.
The assault also definitely plays a part here, despite it happening years before they met. It’s not guilt exactly that he feels but a lot of helplessness because he can’t help her beyond a point.

Tuesday, October 11, 2022 ⥈ Fic Review #2
Tumblr media
Dearest Readers,
We are delighted to share BTS Dream Court’s Fic Review from the month of September! Each month, we highlight an Esteemed Member of our Ton and a piece from their personal library. This past month, we are proud to share that Viscountess Cath @magicshopaholic​ has received this honor.
Tumblr media
TITLE: Next Time
PAIRING: Namjoon x OC
SUMMARY: “It’s a quiet night in, and neither of you are in the mood for talking.”
Read Here
Tumblr media
What our Queens and Court Officials have to say about this fic:
❝ Normally, x OC fics are not my first choice, but I'm so glad that I came across Next Time. It was really well written, not to mention hot, and I quite enjoyed Kaya's point of view on everything. Her attitude and demeanor really came through in this fic and I adore her personality. My heart ached knowing that she and Joon were going to be apart again so soon and I could feel their dread. 10/10 fic, and I can't wait to catch up on the others! ❞ - Queen Valerie
�� Next Time was really good!! Even though I was in my feels I still enjoyed it. I love when characters are adorn with a big personality and Kaya had such a strong impact on me. The spice was just right and the ending... ‘Like I said: we have all night,’ my knees were weak!! Amazing story! Thank you for sharing. ❞ - Queen Dee Dee
Tumblr media
What was your inspiration for Fic Title Here?
So I have storylines for all members, and this was probably the sixth or seventh fic in Namjoon’s. He and his OC are in a long distance relationship and this particular fic is set on one of the nights before she has to go back home. I wanted to write specifically about that feeling of dread that you know is coming, that’s expected but isn’t made any easier with time, and the lengths people will go to to avoid feeling all of that, distracting themselves with other emotions.
Which of the characters do you relate to the most in Fic Title Here and why? Which was the most fun/difficult to write?
Kaya/the OC is probably the OC I relate to the most in my universe. She’s academically driven and hardworking and kind of scatterbrained, but she’s really good for Namjoon, in that he’s finally able to let his guard down around her. In particular, I relate to her because we both left home for college and stayed out, live alone, are borderline workaholics but don’t mind that either. She’s usually the most fun character to write that way, because I can explore choices and experiences vicariously through her - in some cases, not all - mostly because we’re the same age and have so many of the same values and experiences.
How long have you been writing? What made you decide to write?
I’ve been writing for approximately fifteen years, ever since my cousin sister introduced me to fanfiction back in middle school. I’ve written for tons of fandoms, but the one that’s stayed with me the longest has been Harry Potter, from cringe romance to more grown up war fics. I have an extremely vivid imagination and I can spend hours daydreaming so the best outlet for me is to pen it down, regardless of whether I choose to publish. I also love going back and re-reading it, if for no other reason than to catch glimpses of what I was doing back then or how my writing has improved.
What are your favorite tropes, genres, AUs, etc. to read and write?
Within the BTS fandom, I’ll honestly read anything as long as it’s written well. Darkfic/yandere/mafia/hybrid isn’t really my cup of tea, but I particularly love soulmate AUs, idol AUs and - this is a weird sub-genre - almost divorced couple AUs (delicious angst). I also love certain crack fics, because humour and banter is something I love to read and write.
When it comes to writing, I strictly stay within canon, no matter the fandom. If I’m writing about real people, then canon implies whatever we know publicly about them, along with minor changes maybe - which is why all my fics are idol fics. I also love writing movie/TV show AUs, where I get to flit between the characters’ canon and the show’s canon, which is fun.
How do you overcome writers block?
Power through. That’s literally it. I don’t like having unfinished WIPs, so if I’m working on a fic where I’m stuck, I have this need to finish it before moving on. If I’m stuck on a certain scene, I just close that scene as quickly as possible and start writing the one I really want, and work on the transition later. Sometimes I watch a movie or a show with a similar theme for inspiration too.
What is the most difficult part of your writing process? 
Given that I have set storylines for all members, I know where all their stories are headed. I also have certain key events outlined, but there are fics I need to insert to add context and stuff, so thinking about those situations and fleshing it out is a bit of a challenge.
Tumblr media
When Cath isn’t writing, you can often find her working, reading, or chasing her labrador around the house while he steals her stuff. Cath is a manager at an investment bank, working in process transformation and change management. When Cath is craving something good to eat, she chooses Chinese takeout or garlic bread. Cath is very thankful for the network of writers she's met.
BDC is proud to have Cath as a member of our Court and cannot wait to see what she shares next!

The Secret Princes Club [2] - Going Home
Pairing: Jungkook x OC, Namjoon x OC
Genre: royalty, angst, fluff
Word Count: 1.3k
Warnings: mentions of death and kidnapping
Summary: Seven crown princes disappear from their homes on the same night. None of the them can be found, but what is the true reason behind their disappearance?
—————
That weekend, Jin, Tae, and Jimin all packed their belongings. They all had long journeys ahead of them.
“Promise you guys will write?” Jungkook asked as the boys finished getting ready to leave.
“I will. For sure.” Tae nodded as he pulled his shoes on. “Are you sure you’re not going to at least go see your sister?”
Jungkook sighed, but before he could respond, Jin set a hand on his shoulder.
“Tae’s right. You need to at least go see her. She doesn’t even know you’re alive, Kook.”
Jungkook sighed. “All right. I’ll go. But I’m not staying.”
Jin shrugged. “Your choice.”
“I’ll pray they don’t make you cut your hair, Tae.” Jungkook tried to avoid Jin’s comment.
Tae offered him a small smile. “Thanks.”
◇◆◇◆◇
Hobi jumped as the door was slammed open that evening. In came a girl with wavy, strawberry-blonde hair that was knotted back in a braid.
“Where’s Jungkook?”
“He headed your way five minutes ago.”
She sighed. “I was afraid he skipped town with the rest of your brothers.”
Hobi shook his head. “He refused to go with them.”
“Why are you still here?”
“That’s a good question. I should’ve gone with the rest of them, honestly.”
“When will they be back? My friend has been throwing a fit that Tae left. She’s had the biggest crush on him for years and was about to confess.”
Hobi raised an eyebrow, wondering why she’d offered him that information. “I’m not sure they’ll be back.”
“What?”
“They’re moving back home.”
“Why did you guys move away from home in the first place?”
Hobi shrugged. “Wanted to get away, I guess. You should go after Jungkook.”
“Yeah. I was planning to talk to him about something tonight, anyways. See you, Hobi!”
Once Hobi was sure she was out the door, he sighed. Maybe he should just head back home too. Jungkook and Namjoon both had girls to be here for, but all Hobi had was his job. There was really no reason to stay.
◇◆◇◆◇
“We have to cut it,” Tae’s mom told him as he stared blankly down at his bed.
“Why? What’s wrong with me having long hair? Mae can have it, so why can’t I?”
“You know why.” She snapped at him. “You’re a boy. Boys don’t have long hair. Especially not princes, Taehyung.”
Tae scowled. He shouldn’t have come back. He hated being confined by his parents’ rules. Why had he let Jin talk him into it?
“I’ll send Kale in to cut your hair. Don’tfight him.” With those words, his mother left him alone in his room.
He looked down at his calloused hands. Why had he ever complained about working a job? At least he’d been free to be his own person. Now he was trapped again. He was about to be forced to be the ideal prince he’d been born to be.
“Your Highness, welcome back.” Kale smiled as he entered Tae’s room. Tae cringed when the man bowed to him. “Did you enjoy yourself?”
“I didn’t want to come back,” Tae admitted. “How have Mae and Kaya been?”
“They’ve missed you. I swore them to secrecy that you left willingly.”
“You told them?” Tae gasped.
“I was told I’d lose my job if I didn’t tell them what I knew, Your Highness. I apologize.”
Tae shook his head. “I wasn’t dragged back here, so it’s fine.”
“Your mother had told me I am to cut your hair short. Are you all right with that?”
“I have no choice.”
◇◆◇◆◇
Jin’s mother practically jumped on him the moment he entered the palace.
“You’re alive!” She cried as she threw herself at him. He smiled and patted her back.
“I heard you’re having trouble with another kingdom. I figured it was time to come home.”
“Your father is going to be so relieved! How have you been? Where-where did you go?”
“I went to Gyeongyu. I wanted to…live a life that I made for myself for a while. I’m sorry.”
She shook her head. “You’re here now, and that’s what matters. How was it?”
“It was good, Eomma. I loved it. I wish I could’ve stayed. I know I have a duty here, though.”
She smiled at him. “You’ll be all right staying this time, then?”
Jin laughed. “Yes, Eomma, I’ll be all right. I have a job to fulfill now. I can’t leave you.”
She sighed as she looked him up and down. “You’ve gotten so big! Wow, look at these wide shoulders.” She laughed. “Just like your father.”
“Can we do something about my hair? It’s gotten a bit long,” Jin laughed. He felt bad even asking, because he knew Tae was probably being forced to cut his hair while Jin had the choice. But he really couldn’t stand eating his hair.
“Of course! Let’s get you some fresh clothes, first.”
◇◆◇◆◇
“What on earth happened to your hair?” Jimin’s brother, Andre asked as he tugged on his hair. “It’s so short.”
“You try working in hundred-degree weather with a foot of hair on your head. You’d change your mind.”
“Your hair was that long?”
Jimin nodded. “A friend of mine cut it last week.”
“Dad’s gonna be so mad. I haven’t seen your hair this short since you got molasses in it.”
Jimin smirked. “If it gets too long, I’ll do it again.”
“Please, do not do that.”
Jimin laughed. “Did you miss me?”
“Of course! Don’t ever make me keep a secret like that again!”
“No promises.”
◇◆◇◆◇
“Jane, I do want to marry you. But we have to keep it a secret.”
“A secret? Are you kidding? I have to tell my parents!”
Jungkook shook his head. “If you tell them, I can’t marry you.”
“Why not?” she asked, outraged.
Jungkook sighed. “If I tell you why, you can’t tell anyone. You hear me? Absolutely no word to anyone.”
She nodded slowly, not entirely sure she even wanted to know what he was about to tell her.
“I’m the crown prince of Johyuk.” Jungkook whispered.
“What? But…your brothers?” she asked, thoroughly confused.
“That’s a long story. But I have to go home. If we get married and my father finds out, he’ll just nullify the marriage. I haven’t decided if I’m going to stay there yet, but I have to go see my sister.”
Jane nodded. “So…how long will you be gone for? When should we get married? Will I come with you if you go back later?”
“I don’t know yet…. We should marry as soon as possible. If I decide to stay, I’ll come get you. How’s that?”
“But…my parents. Jungkook…I can’t just leave them.”
“Not even for me?”
“I want to. I just don’t know what I’ll tell them. They always thought we’d stay here, in the village.”
“Johyuk isn’t that far away. They could visit. Honestly, they could move there with us.”
“I don’t know, Jungkook….”
“You have a week to think about it. I’m leaving in two to go back.”
“That soon?”
He nodded.
“Ok…I’ll think about it.”
◇◆◇◆◇
“You quit your job? Hobi, are you nuts?” Namjoon asked.
“No. I’m going home. You need to, too. Figure something out with Hannah. Even Jungkook’s going.”
Namjoon shook his head. “I can’t. I’ll be stuck there forever the second I step in the gates. My father hates me, and I’m sure he hates me even more after this.”
“He’s dying, Namjoon. You won’t be stuck there for long.”
“I’ll think about it.”
“Good. Think long and hard. Yoongi and Jungkook are both leaving in two weeks.”
“And you’re leaving…tonight?”
“Yeah. Figured I’d give myself a head start.”
“Well, good luck. Will I see you again?”
“Who knows. If fate wills it, yes.”
Namjoon laughed. “See you soon then, hopefully.”
“Yeah. Hopefully.”

Hiwaga (Vampire! Jeongguk x Reader)
Part 2
Words: 11,2k
Genre: Soulmate AU, Reincarnation AU, Enemies to Lovers, Action, Romance, Smut, Flufffffff
Pairing: Vampire! Jeongguk x Reader
Warnings: More cursing, Nightmares
Summary: Life was good, playing out better than it has been ever before. My future was bright and full of promises and wishes coming to realization. All up until she showed up. She stormed though the front doors ruining everything along the way by her mere presence derailing my goals and purpose in life. A puny mortal, a child, a complete nuisance, and yet…The key to an unimaginable life, to the truth all along.
Author's note: Hiwaga – mystery; full of wonder Words in italics are dialogues or thoughts that Jeongguk reads from others. So I’ve done research with this fic, and used certain words that need explanation…given that there can be A LOT I’ve put a dictionary just below the fic if anyone is interested :3
Tumblr media
Jeongguk’s POV:
‘’YOONGIIIIII-YAAAHHH!!!’’ comes the call not really disrupting others, but it does pull the gained momentum to a full stop, everyone now straightening up, eyes and heads turned towards the entrance. We all observe as the owner of that annoying voice comes in sight, dressed in none other than Yoongi hyungs favourite red hoodie that he mostly lounges around in.
‘’I’ve figure it out!’’ she continues on oblivious to the others stopping because of her. Our elder simply smiles and turns his attention completely onto her, as she offers up a thick book that at first glance leaves me wondering how she was able to pick it up. Frankly if you look at her you wouldn’t assume that she’d be able to lift much.
He simply hums in acknowledgement, eyes scanning the page his smile gradually fading. Namjoon appears at the doorframe a moment later, the girl not jumping or flinching at his sudden presence like most humans would normally react to. Wordlessly she accepts a notebook from him, her own eyes darting left and right a frown drawing itself across her features. Hmmm she’s kind of cute…
‘’What’s going on?’’ Taehyung asks frowning as he shifts the spear he’s using to train, between his hands. We’re all dressed the same, in black tank tops and grey sweatpants most of us barefoot too. We came to the fully equipped gym which we’ve transformed into an arena its purpose clear – practice martial arts and combat between another. Hyung had just started teaching us new techniques honestly surprising us all as he joined in from the beginning.
We don’t necessarily need the fitness or practice – nobody even broke a sweat in the last hour we’ve been training – but the impending tension that has settled after the ball two nights ago, doesn’t seem to loosen up so this is the best next thing to relieve some form of built up frustration. Even though neither Yoongi nor Jin hyung revealed anything yet, both of them are hiding their emotions back but everyone just knows that something is happening. Fighting is a temporary distraction.
Most vampires don’t actually need to fight or simply never learn how to because they rely solemnly on their powers or abilities. And half of us could lean onto using our powers, but Yoongi made sure we had a good solid base of self-defence before he had us train our abilities. For example, his power is scary and rare and doesn’t require of him to ever lift a finger whilst fighting. Others had to learn the hard way how to control their powers. That includes myself – mentality and people’s minds are tricky.
‘’Research.’’ Its Namjoon that replies handing over a regular pencil that he usually sticks behind his ear whenever he’s working on something in the library where he has been spending a lot of time lately again at. The human accepts it, and is quick to start and scribble something over a page. Being the only one left out of this round I approach them first, eyeing Yoongi for a moment further his eyes darting over to Namjoon.
‘’This is bothersome.’’ He comments offering the book to Namjoon who accepts it nodding silently. The girl curses out of the blue, the swear words that spill from her mouth unfamiliar to my ear, and judging by other hyung’s faces they are stumped too. Some curses don’t even sound like words, but once she shuts up and looks at the platinum blonde elder, she looks beyond annoyed while he burst into chuckles shaking his head ‘’Yah, Y/N-ah there are kids here.’’ He teases back the occurrence and light-heartedness that he shows to her still unfamiliar. He must be the only one who understood whatever came from her mouth.
I spare a glance at Seokjin who is shaking his head, two fingers pressed against the inner of his eyes. Okay he understood her to, but to what degree I’m not sure.
‘’Aish.’’ She intakes a breath ready to smack Yoongi with the notebook but refrains from doing so, her eyes darting over to us. Maybe it’s just my imagination but I get a feeling as if they linger on me for a moment longer ‘’Not funny. They called me a child.’’ She ends up pouting and showing her notebook over to Yoongi. Glancing at Namjoon he’s awkwardly smiling, eyes averted down onto the thick book ‘’And other things I don’t need to translate.’’ Grumbling she adds looking upset as she glares at him unamused. Everyone offers soft chuckles in return finally relaxing more as they step closer.
Hyung’s arm rises wrapping around her shoulders reassuringly ‘’Well that was the plan was it not?’’
My eyes dart over to Tae and Jimin, exchanging looks between both of them in question and sort of answer at the revelation ‘’Yeh.’’ Her reply is curt arms crossed over while she turns her eyes towards Namjoon ‘’We’re close to figuring it out. Its trickier than I thought. Haven’t practiced Gaya in so long…Kaya…aish even my pronunciation is completely off.’’ She signs looking exasperated.
‘’Wait…’’ Hoseok starts tensing up taking barely half a step towards her in the uneven circle we’ve created ‘’Kaya as in the language? Karak? Like 5th century, dead long and forgotten language?!’’ he looks at them in complete disbelief mouth hanging ajar. He’s almost on his toes. I immediately look at the human, that nods fingers tapping against the page of her notebook impatiently or out of nerves.
‘’That one yes. Why? Do you know it???’’ her eyes sparkle for a moment, but hyung is quick to turn his head away and raise his hands in defeat.
‘’That’s way before my time.’’ he mumbles pouting. I watch as Y/N enthusiasm diminishes instantly. She sighs heavily looking at Yoongi who’s already staring back at her.
‘’Aigo.’’ She complains pouting ‘’It’s all on us then buddy.’’ She adds on offering Namjoon a soft smile. I can see her disappointment clearly in the way her shoulders lower sag. I narrow my eyes as I watch her, not really comprehending that there’s a chance that she actually knows a dead language. The name of it or the know how about it. She barely speaks proper Korean!!!!! And to know of a pre-Korean language makes zero logic!!!
‘’Uh huh. I’m sure we can handle it. Easy.’’ Namjoon replies trying to sound positive but, we all know he’s putting up a front for her sake ‘’I’ll head into the city right away. Go to my usual places to snoop around for any fragments. There should be at least something somewhere.’’ And with that, and a silent confirmation from Jin and Yoongi, he bids us goodbye’s and heads out disappearing quickly as he appeared before.
‘’What are you even translating? Did that douche-ling make another cryptic speech?’’ Jimin asks looking annoyed, tapping both fingers against the handles of his dual swords which are resting against the ground. Y/N instead of quickly replying looks over at Yoongi, who takes her notebook and closes it. Is she waiting for permission or is she actually being respectful for once?!?
‘’In the beginning yeah, he bounced with Karak but then switched to Latin mid-way.’’ Yoongi snorts smirking but there’s no amusement to his words ‘’Y/N-ah already translated his official scripts and the other speech, and the propositions he gave us.’’
‘’Lots of politics involved.’’ Jin confirms looking lost in thought, holding his head propped up with one hand, the other remaining crossed across his chest.
‘’There’s something else isn’t there.’’ I pick up on the lack of explanation staring straight at the human. Her lips go into a tight line eyes averting looking anywhere else, while she shifts her feet in line with her shoulders, stance defensive with her centre balanced. That much I can read out once her shoulders square up, and her leg muscles clench and unclench. Why is she wearing a hoodie and shorts again?!? Her bare legs look very nicely defined, I never noticed it.
‘’I wrote down notes of the conversation that Wangseja had with his advisor.’’ Everyone takes a double take at her disclosure clearly none of us expecting something like this of her. Maybe she isn’t a clueless bimbo after all.
‘’That still wouldn’t fully explain the usage of Karak.’’ Hoseok speaks up thoughtful ‘’Do you think them speaking out loud was deliberate or simply a foolish error?’’
He has a point there. It could be a trap, but Yoongi is quick to shake his head in denial arm now having shifted around Y/N, his hand placed on her hip ‘’I don’t think it’s either of those. It’s safe to assume for certain than none of you assumed that Y/N-ah here spoke more than 3 languages, let alone Karak in the mix right?’’ the other hyungs nod along eyeing her suspiciously, except for Jin that offers a smirk and Taehyung that seems to be revaluating his stance over her again ‘’Point made then.’’
That boulder in my stomach reappears again, as with prideful eyes Yoongi turns to look at her with a wider smile, while she shakes her head instead twirling the pen, he hasn’t confiscated from her. She’s shifting from one foot to another lulling side to side impatiently making him retreat his arm away.
This girl never seems to be able to stand still even for a second ‘’Yeah, yeah I’m more than meets the eye, bla, bla.’’ She shows her tongue at her supposedly life-term friend ‘’Never heard that one before.’’ she mocks, and slides the pen smoothly behind Hyung’s ear who doesn’t blink twice at her antics. Even more so as she reaches for his Geom that is sheathed on his left hip ‘’So instead of wracking our brains uselessly with the lack of information that we are stuck with, I would like to lay of some steam as well.’’ she draws out the double-edged sword, with poise, letting the handle go while she maintains the balance of it, flipping the sword around a single digit, capturing it successfully once it does a 360 turn.
She looks pleased upon capturing it, perking up and giving of an almost goofy smile. Oh no. Don’t tell me this is something else that she isn’t going to take seriously?
‘’You wanna play with us little mortal?’’ Jimin pips up looking enthusiastic and livelier all of the sudden. But he doesn’t slide forward and move closer to her like I know he would prefer to. It brings a smile to my face, the thought of him being so afraid of hyung that he doesn’t dare approach her in his presence all that much.
Looking at the girl, she’s preoccupied with hyung’s sword, trying to find the balance of it as she holds it by the handle horizontally keeping it steady. At his comment, she lets the sword fall but catches it before the tip can hit the ground.
‘’Jagi?’’ the nickname has everyone in the room freeze on spot. There are two reaction that she grants herself. Chuckles of amusement, that aren’t as quiet as the hyungs wants them to be – nobody in their sane mind would want to experience Yoongi’s wrath. Tae ends up ducking behind Hoseok as he’s the loudest, hence why the elders glare is instantaneous as he turns to glare at both giggling men.
Jin hyung straight up turns around hand covering his mouth, but his shoulders are shaking badly. Hoseok ends up grinning wider and starts too coo instead, teasing in between but mostly telling Y/N how adorable she is for some reason. Jimin settles for kneeling on the ground hands still holding into his own dual swords grin present over his features, eyes having disappeared from how much he finds this whole situation amusing.
I on the other hand hold back the bile that gathers in my stomach. Ew. Just no. Why? Seriously why. I cringe and listen to the way Yoongi is quick to defend her and not himself! He’s advocating for her, coming up with excuses as to why he is allowing her to use this nickname on him. Looking at her, she’s grinning widely clearly amused by the situation she has created.
I seriously feel sick to my stomach. It’s wrong it’s all just wrong. I seriously don’t like her. Just as I was starting to, I don’t anymore I really don’t. She’s way to cocky right now, acting as if she has hyung wrapped around her finger. He storms after our so called ‘dance line’ with the exception of me, as they start teasing the two louder and bolder. Unbothered she remains put just watching blurs go around, her eyes not able to pick up much on what’s going on as the chase begins.
If she wasn’t here – hyung would be chasing me too with the others. I let a few good comebacks die on my tongue knowing first-hand what it’s like to get silly punishment from Yoongi after badmouthing him or anyone else. Her mere presence right now is to put it in simple words; extinguishes my will to live. And yeah, I’ve been a vampire for almost 200 years but fuck does she weight me down. Is it because I can’t read her thoughts? I shift on my feet, dropping my arms from the crossed-up position I’ve had them. While my left hand reasts against my hip, I let my right rest over the handle of my own Geom. I’ve decided to build upon my skills with it, even though it’s not commonly used anymore, it’s still gives the thrill like no other.
That familiar itch raises in my throat slowly, prickling at it mostly. I think this type I haven’t felt since I’ve been freshly turned. But that was another story as my hunger for blood then was insatiable. When all I could think about was blood, and the constant pain that held me in its clutches. It’s starting to appear somewhat, but not necessarily for blood alone which is puzzling as to what’s happening to me.
‘’You look like you’re having fun.’’ I raise an eyebrow as I look down at her in surprise ‘’The whole brooding thing you’ve got going on right now, is a good strategy. I commend you on that dude.’’
‘’Strategy?’’ I ask bemused eyeing her carefully as she steps right next to me and turns to watch the chaos that’s still unfolding across us. Her approach is like – if you were sitting on the very edge of a couch, she’s the person that would sit right next to you. Can she get even more annoying than this?!
‘’Well yeah.’’ She starts and looks at me slightly losing the edge of confidence she has ‘’To avoid this mess that’s happening. Wasn’t that…’’ she trails off clearly doubting herself ‘’Never mind then.’’ she’s quick to look away, left hand reaching up to scratch at her cheek, but she keeps it there avoiding to look at me.
I can’t help but to smile at her behaviour. Is she blushing?!
Odd. Humans are weird. Narrowing my eyes as I continue watching her, I can’t help but to relax a bit. Her hair is a mess as always, falling over her shoulders, clearly uncombed or unattended. Not that she’s dirty, she smells fresh and like she bathed fairly recently that strawberry hint present underneath the artificial flavour of honey scented shampoo.
The hoodie is too big on her body as it’s too big for hyung himself but on her it easily reaches her mid tights. Having said that the branded shorts with white stripes at the side of her legs peek just from beneath the red hoodie. Otherwise her legs are exposed, and following the curves from her meaty thighs, down to her calves I can see she’s back at being restless her left foot tapping against the ground the rubber of her sneakers making faint noise against the wood of the ground.
Shouts raising has me turning up, ready to defend myself from blatantly staring at her or crudely said ogling her. To my rare luck Yoongi has both Jimin and Taehyung pinned down, clearly having fun as he fake scolds them. Hoseok has given up and is sitting on the ground, hands propping himself up as he’s leant backwards. Jin hasn’t even participated in whatever they have going on, and is sitting in the corner of the room, kneeling against the wall with his new pink coloured Samsung Z in his hands, typing furiously on it with a small smirk on his face.
‘’Hey do you know why did the scarecrow win an award?’’ Jin starts getting everyone’s attention eyes rising after he asks the question. He even glances towards us. And we all know what’s coming it’s clear as a single cloud on a clear sunny day ‘’Because he was outstanding in his field.’’
I roll my eyes instantly, biting onto my lower lip because it’s ridiculous. Jimin burst into laughter first, Hoseok and Tae groaning but ending up laughing more so because of Jimin that rolls away from Yoongi who has let go of both vampires and is staring at hyung with a scrunched-up expression.
‘’Seriously hyung?’’ he breathes shaking his head. But a smile is present.
I’m genuinely startled when Y/N places her hand on my shoulder, body trembling as she tries to keep her own giggles down, but is not having much success with it. I stare at her confused but slightly fascinated by the rosiness that covers her cheeks, and face. Her eyes crinkle as they shut, mouth twisted into a grin. Her hold on my shoulder is surprisingly firm, again in the back of my mind making me revaluate the estimate I put on her about her strength.
‘’You’re laughing at that?’’ I ask trying to sound unimpressed but fail at it completely as I smile all due to her own amusement, the joke not being that drop-dead-funny.
She shakes her head instead and let’s go of me taking a step to the side hand readjusting the hold on hyung’s Geom once more ‘’The delivery was A+.’’ she points out as she starts to calm down.
‘’Thank you, Y/N-ah! You see brats? Someone appreciates my jokes! It’s why from now on Y/N-ah is my favourite creature ever!!!’’ he shouts out acting bratty himself. Jimin and Tae are both on their feet making their way over to Jin, probably with the intention of convincing him that they are his favourite whatever.
‘’Gee thanks.’’ Y/N chuckles bringing my attention back to her ‘’Never been called someone’s favourite ‘creature’ but I’ll take it.’’ she ends up grinning happily as she turns to me, warmth still lingering on her cheeks. As well as over my shoulder where her hand was ‘’Anyways you wanna practice Sour boy?’’ I immediately frown at that nickname as does she scrunching up her nose adorably for a moment ‘’Sour creature?’’ she tries ending up chuckling to herself as she shift left and right, the calmness leaving her while her jumpiness coming back ‘’Can’t use Sour wolf those right are reserved obviously…’’ I tilt my head not having a clue what’s she’s referring to ‘’…sour…ah never mind.’’ Again, she’s shaking her head but isn’t hiding away. She twists the sword again putting her left foot forward balancing her centre first, hands and sword following suit ‘’So you wanna try going against me?’’
It’s a dare.
I want to burst into laughter already imagining 3 moves alone to disarm her in a blink of her eye. But hyung’s words in my head stop me from over reacting at the preposterous challenge that’s right in front of me.
Humour her Jeongguk-ah. It will do good for your patience.
Taking a hold of my own blade, I spare a glance over towards Yoongi first noticing that everyone is watching us. They are going to be entertained I’ll make sure I will…
In a blink of an eye and my own, as my reflexes are enhanced mind you – I find myself dumbfounded, as her sword flashes due to the light and clashes against my own, knocking it sideways proving that my hold on it wasn’t as tight as it should have been.
As I look down at her burning but non-glowing human eyes, she’s glaring at me with some sort of fire in her irises. Her hand is back on me, firmly holding onto the inside of my forearm, while her blade is angled in a seemingly awkward position right arm positioned over her left body twisted to the side. But the most important part is; the tip of her sword is located right under my chin. The body of the Geom is strategically positioned in a way that would block any stronger and direct attack from myself.
The cheers burst out of the blue interrupting the silence that happened due to her unexpected actions.
My tongue darts to my cheek as I snort and tilt my head narrowing my eyes at her, as she ends up smiling but look serious doing so. She ends up pulling her hand and sword back, rising it up in triumph.
‘’Lesson number one; always be ready for the unexpected.’’ Jin speaks up oddly enough giving me a more serious look.
I don’t even bother looking towards others, and focus on the girl before me that’s literally skipping on her spot 2 steps away from me. She wiggles her eyebrows at me, sword getting placed to rest against her shoulder angled at an around 80 degree ‘’Lesson 1000-something-something never lose focus.’’ She imitates Yoongi’s pattern of speech clearly making fun of him making me know that he trained her as well. Her head turns to the right to give him a look.
I twirl my Geom keeping in mind that even though I’m about to surprise her as she surprised me, I a voice screaming at me to keep my movements slow. It would be an easy defeat – like taking candy from a baby – if I use my regular speed and agility on her. She wouldn’t stand a chance.
As I raise my blade, she instantly blocks it spinning with elegance at the perfect time. While I’m holding the leather wrapped handle with both hands, she only uses one and efficiently blocks me, her blade only briefly losing a hold twitching backwards and then coming to a still.
‘’To rough?’’ I tease, as she grabs for the long handle with her left hand the pressure against my blade turning prominent. Fuck. I didn’t expect in the slightest that she would be even able to push against me. But that’s maybe because I didn’t focus on taking a hold of my Geom in a proper way like I should have. I underestimated her.
She doesn’t reply initially, but offers a smirk jaw locked tight. To my astonishment she unpredictably steps back, and raises her Geom ready to strike down, which I block successfully intercepting her attacks from the get go. The fact remains that tips the balance contradictory to my own belief and those of my hyungs as with my brief lack of concentration, everything changes – words fill my mind – because she has managed from the get go to legitimately push me backwards. She has me moving, whole body getting in tune and reflexes to work as two close calls of the metal coming in contact with me have me focusing solemnly on her.
It isn’t until she’s out of breath that she jumps back like in the beginning, and simply breathes harshly through her nose. That’s the weakness of being a human. Getting tired. I know it’s not fair but I take my chance and charge forward, confident that I’ve got an easy win under my belt.
But as I move forward faster than I should I’ll admit her left hand reaches and gets in line with where my sword is pointed at. She’s reaching forward as if she is about to pick an apple, the action itself insane. That has me stopping right before the blade can touch, forcing my whole body to a halt. That’s when she strikes, finger wrapping onto the top of my blade against the blunt part of it.
It all happens so fast even for me, as she holds onto my weapon and just like the first time, she’s finds herself right up in my personal space, her blade finding a home under my chin it seems.
Her face is almost feral – that’s how I’d describe it the easiest. She’s showing her blunt teeth as she breathes fast heart absolutely pounding in her chest, as she glares at me the fire I saw before has turned into some sort of a blizzard, and hunger. The cheers that erupt of disbelief and glee get all muted - her blood is calling out to me. I can feel it vibrating in her veins, pumping steadily though her heart. It sounds like a forgotten lullaby her speeding but regulating steady heartbeat. It brings a taste of nostalgia forward.
The smile that stretches across her lips seems newly unique, only for my eyes – there’s of course that prominent sense of victory, happiness that’s prominent in her whole being still only inches away from me.
I’m left blinking in confusion, the hold of my blade being let go as someone pulls her backwards the cold blade that was located under my chin retreating as well as her warmth and now prominent smell of fruitiness, and something else that I can almost taste in the air – something that kind of remind me of the smell I remember that came from my own clothes when I was still a human.
‘’Ah our sweet Golden Maknae, it seems you have meet you’re match in at least one category!’’ Jin cheers throwing his arm over my shoulders, looking extremely gleeful as he starts poking my sides. I twist at his ministration but keep watching as Hoseok lifts Y/N up onto his shoulders, her hands free from weapons and desperate to hold onto something as she dangerously shifts and tries to balance herself on his shoulders. His oblivious jumping spree continues despite her cries of protests with Jimin standing behind the two ready to catch her as Taehyung dances along with the vampire that’s carrying her.
I can’t shake off the tingles that seem to entrap me in a sense, running over my skin prickling at my long stopped beating heart. I stare almost dumbly listening to the shouts and cheers from the human girl, that decided to act along with the boys’ antics easily following and mimicking them having the time of her life judging by the giant smile she has on, and adorable chuckles that raise. But the smile she gave me doesn’t resemble this one, one bit. The one I got was more – her.
‘’Good effort, Jeongguk-ah.’’ Yoongi speaks up appearing finally on my right, hand holding onto his Geom once more. Meeting his eyes, they seem soft the smirk he has not too promising for my dignity ‘’Of course you’ve managed to accomplish all the don’ts than do’s in what I’ve taught you, but it was a good lesson nonetheless.’’
Jin stars laughing immediately agreeing with Yoongi, the jokes and mockery following after.
I hate losing, I despise it with my whole being given that I’m not sure if I still have a soul. And even though irritation is brewing under my skin, I can’t find myself to feel real anger of any sorts. She threw me off too much to completely understand the feeling I’m experiencing, in regards of her.
Of course, I still don’t like her, why would I pfffff. This is only a reason more that I need to start and upstage her frankly speaking. I’m not jealous of her being in hyung’s good graces or anything childish like that but…I’m the golden maknae. I need to knock her down a peg or two.
I find myself watching her like a hawk, awaiting the anger and frustration to hit me…it doesn’t. And that’s concerning me slightly.
*A few days later*
I squint automatically at the spill and change of contrasting light that floods into the room. My eyes are quick to adapt but my brain forces me to react humanly. Rounding the corner, I’m met with a wide and open door that leads to the side of the mansion, into the gardens and towards the pathway that leads towards the garage. I sigh annoyed that someone is trying to start a prank war again. It’s a poor prank just leaving the doors open, but the sun that’s shinning inside is frankly bothersome enough to diminish my mood.
I was having a good match going on the whole night, winning every time of course setting new records. The peckish-ness appeared out of nowhere – I fed 2 days ago, there’s no reason why I’m feeling hungry again. I should be fine and yet, my throat itches uncomfortably enough so that I need to take plan B; Take a blood bag from the fridge to calm myself down.
I rarely do this, hating the cold and very artificial taste that the bag leaves on the blood. But the blood bags are there for this exact reason.
I stand at the entrance of the lavish kitchen and dining area on my right and place my hands onto my hips just contemplating my life choices as one does in the middle of the day – or night for some. Why does it have to be so sunny, why can’t it just keep raining. Of course, it has been a while since I’ve seen sunlight, but I sure as hell didn’t miss it that much. It’s absolutely glowing against the polished marble flooring, and reflecting all over the clean white kitchen.
There are bowls on the kitchen island, the presence of them making me listen in a focus for a moment if someone is close and trying to scare me. Silence. Strange. Approaching the kitchen island and avoiding the stray odd ray of sunlight that stretches across the room, thanks to a curtain being moved, I see pastry has been laid out on a wooden desk. Two banana’s lies on another chopping board still intact, while a gooey brown substance resides in a pot next to the pastry.
I’m so confused. What is this supposed to be?
Looking around for Jin hyung I’m left wondering if he’s back at experimenting with human food and trying to impress our annoying temporary human resident. Last time he baked 10 cakes, of different flavours, which the human did thank him over hundreds of times for, but barely made a dent in them. We had to throw them out after 4 days, with Jin hyung reasoning that it’s logical as they were going to go bad. Sounds like bullshit to me as in my time cakes were a delicacy to get often, but I feel as if they are more compact and longer lasting than 4 days but what do I know about human food. Eh.
Glancing towards outside keeping my eyes trained on the marble flooring I pick up on someone talking fast and thoughts of How lovely and kind, she is flooding my mind That girl has a knack for flowers, and it helps that she’s extra nice unlike most of Mr. Min’s friends I block out the gardeners thoughts as they continue wandering about Yoongi…yet again. Shaking my head to clear my mind, I take the chance squinting and frowning at the brightness even more prominent, my eyes trained to the outside watching as Y/N stumbles over her feet but recollects herself. She’s carrying a small bouquet of what seem like lavender coloured roses. I didn’t even know we grow those. The flowers don’t look that nice during the night I’ll admit that. But I know Jin hyung wanted multi coloured flowers, and I know there was a Boquete of blue roses placed on this very kitchen island some time ago.
I watch as the girl jumps exaggeratingly childish and cheerful onto the concrete ground of the mansions floor and short patio. Her bare feet make barely any noise, as she approaches.
‘’Oh, hey what are you doing up still?’’ she asks squinting but due to the contrast she must be experiencing. I’m surprise she spotted me outside. She kinda looks that sort of an adorable-ugly.
‘’You do know that we don’t sleep right?’’ I ask hesitant not sure if she knows this fact. I stare at her, ready to bolt to her aid as she stumbles again once she steps inside closing her eyes and taking 2 steps blindly ahead.
‘’I know that, I meant as in up now. Everyone is usually closed off at this time.’’ she’s quick to explain opening her eyes carefully, looking around still squinting the ugliness still there.
‘’I should be asking you why are you up instead. Aren’t you usually dead asleep by this time?’’ I turn the conversation around, watching as she reaches the counter and places the roses on it, turning back to the doors. I snort to myself at her choice of clothing being a white shirt with jean overalls that hang slightly lose on her.
‘’To be honest I drank one energy drink or two too much, so I’m wide awake.’’ She replies turning to look at me, expression relaxing into a normal one, eyes still blinking quickly a few more times glossiness present in them ‘’Do you mind the doors?’’ the question has my brows rising in question ‘’Is the light bothering you? I can close them, if it is.’’
Surprised I contemplate for a moment, preferring that she does close the door off but there’s something more to her unusual question ‘’I’m fine with them as they are.’’ I lie and sit myself on the second bar stool from the right corner of the kitchen island, making sure I’m keeping a safe distance from the pesky sun.
‘’Oh good.’’ she sighs in relief perking up ‘’To be honest I didn’t even know how much I’ve missed the sun.’’ the short explanation is happy as she practically skips over to the doors anyways.
‘’Hm I bet you do.’’ I mumble reaching out for one rose, seeing with the corner of my eye as she slips into a pair of slippers that she has left near the wall which I didn’t even notice were there.
‘’Do you?’’ looking up she doesn’t seem like she means anything ill with the question. I think she’s naïve enough to be genuinely curious.
I take a moment to think about it looking out at the brightness, while she goes to rummage around the cabinets ‘’I’m not sure.’’ I admit ‘’I miss sightseeing certain places in day-light. It’s just easier going at night, instead of putting a ton of cream to my skin, and having an umbrella along.’’ I ramble remembering the time when I visited Paris alone. I put a ton of sun cream on, and picked out a designer umbrella, but the curious looks and people randomly asking me to take pictures with them as they thought I was a model or something got tiresome really fast.
‘’Hmm, that would guarantee unwanted attention I’m sure.’’ Her comment has me turning to her again curious as it’s like she read right through my thoughts. She’s filling out a vase or just a tall ornate glass up with water, face portraying her concentration with the matter.
‘’So, whenever you aren’t hanging out with vampires are you usually acting as a regular human being then?’’ I ask interested in her answer and maybe to learn more about her. Even though hyungs have quickly grown to thrust her, I still have my reservations. She talks a lot like A LOT but she never really reveals to much exclusively about herself.
I get a snort in reply eyes meeting my own briefly with a slight glare and edge before she turns to the vase and flowers ‘’It differentiates.’’ She starts ‘’I used to have a job high up somewhat, so yeah, I’ve spent the last couple of years just working. Working, sleeping and eating.’’ I’m taken a back at the new information not having expected her to reply seriously ‘’Had to be on point and available 24/7. You know how greedy humans can get.’’ She sighs tiredly. I can’t argue with that statement so I simply offer a faint nod, watching as her fingers work delicately over the flower petals, rearranging them around neatly. She accepts the flower I was toying with, with a small smile ‘’So one day when I was going to a library to do some research for a project I was doing, I stumbled upon a revelation and just decided to quit.’’
Taking a step back she cheers up instantly ‘’Ta-da.’’ I observe her mirthfulness observing her as she steps over to the sink, letting the water on as she runs her hands under it ‘’So with that done, and wanting to avoid confrontation as any normal human being…’’ I roll my eyes at that knowing what lengths humans are willing to take to avoid confrontations ‘’…I hoped on a plane and, after 5 hours from landing I walked right through your front door.’’ She ends her explanation, whipping her hands with a kitchen cloth.
‘’Just like that huh? No attachments nothing?’’ she nods immediately as I tilt my head shifting after to rest it over my bent left arm ‘’Aren’t you humans known for unnecessarily attachments to people and objects?’’
She chuckles at my statement nodding and smirking amused, hands set in motion as she stirs the gooey substance in the small pot. Smells like chocolate but the melted kind ‘’You’re right about that for the most part and people. But I’ve been sort of a nomad my whole life. Never stayed in one place for too long.’’ She shrugs spreading the substance all over the pastry working meticulously and evening it all out ‘’Didn’t find a reason to settle down.’’
‘’Why thought? Did your parents move a lot so that’s why you can’t find a place you genuinely like?’’ having studied a bit of psychology I pick up on her not fully revealed and rounded answer. She’s generalizing herself a lot. Her movements don’t stop or pause in hesitation at my question.
‘’The second part is more correct in a sense. My parents eh they were what they were.’’ Again, she shrugs, placing the two bananas on the edge of the pastry ‘’I moved a lot with my partner actually. We went on adventures and whatnot, ready to marry and all that jazz.’’ I raise both eyebrows feeling perplexed not having expecting that from the likes of her. That sounds a lot harsher than I intended it to but…I would have never expected her to want to marry, or well be serious about it.
For some reason I can’t imagine her being paired up with any regular man or woman, specially not human for some reason. It feels wrong, feels like nobody ordinary like that can handle her.
‘’Tragedy?’’ I ask assuming the progression of her story.
‘’Yep!’’ she replies too cheerfully for the theme of the conversation, popping the ‘p’ childishly ‘’Wasn’t meant to be.’’ She offers a smile as she looks at me, not looking that particular sad. It must have taken her a long time to get over it thought, because her eyes aren’t matching the mask that she has put on. I can heart the almost pitter patter of her slightly speed up heart. And the shakiness to her hands isn’t missed.
‘’Most things aren’t.’’ I agree remembering my own human experience. I was meant to marry a girl from my village. Being a fisherman, third generation I was meant to uphold the family tradition, and have managed to snob the prettiest girl. But yeah. Not everything is destined to happen as you expect them to. Although looking back I know Na-yeon was wrong for me in all aspect. Even back then with my human set mind and precepting I was mostly doing it as it was expected of me, and not because I genuinely wanted it ‘’Also what are you even doing?’’ I find myself frowning as she starts to roll the whole thing together, bananas disappearing inside the roll.
She doesn’t even respond for a moment, and has stopped breathing. I’m about to stand up and help her out force her to breathe when she straightens up grinning widely again that triumphant expression I’ve seen before present.
‘’A HA!!!!’’ she cheers removing her hands away carefully looking extremely proud at the brown coloured roll that’s left on the tray ‘’I present to you, a perfectly made chocolate banana pudding roll!!’’ she presents’ hands pointing at it dramatically.
I glance at the severely unimpressed desert ‘’Judging by that crack right there, it isn’t as perfect as you claim it to be actually.’’
‘’What no!’’ she rushes leaning over it, bumping her hips into the stone counter. Curses raise, sounding way to rough for the image of a soft girl that she’s unintentionally portraying as of today. She preoccupies herself with inspecting the roll ending up frowning as she straightens up hands placed on the counter while she glares at the desert as if it has offended her.
‘’If it’s any consolation if I were still human, I’d eat it.’’ my words have her shoulders softening up as she shifts and eyes it some more. Her lower lips juts out slightly mouth forming into this sort of adorable hurt puppy pout.
But it only lasts a few seconds, lips quick to turn upwards onto a thankful smile ‘’Thanks.’’ Once her eyes meet my own, I get this odd warm sensation in my chest, seeing her brighten up thanks to my words and encouragement.
‘’Your welcome.’’
*A few days later, later*
‘’I don’t understand why I have to be the one to check on her.’’
A pause ‘’Probably because you’re the only one to dislike her the most. And the most probable to not make any advances.’’ At this I immediately fake throwing up, Taehyung chuckles following as on que ‘’See?’’ he points out smirking ‘’Namjoon hyung got almost punched when he accidentally told a pick-up line yesterday. She didn’t even register it, but Yoongi hyung just went off on him. Poor Namjoonie.’’ He tuts shaking his head finding hyungs predicament funny judging by the smirk he has on.
‘’As perceptive as she is, she can be so annoyingly dull.’’ I half snarl exasperated groaning to myself.
‘’That’s mean Jeonggukie.’’ He raises a complaint ‘’Don’t be so cocky. There’s always more than meets the eye. Even in regards of humans.’’
‘’Yeah, we’ve all seen that but…’’ looking at Taehyung that’s still walking besides me, arm brushing against my own mischievously now and then – he’s giving me this fond look as his eyes take me in. We start to slow our steps down, as we’ve reached the doors that led to the library.
‘’But?’’ he insists as I shrug stuffing my hands into the front pockets of the oversize black hoodie I have on.
‘’I just don’t like her.’’ I mumble, glancing towards the door lowering my tone.
‘’Yeah why is that?’’ glancing up I’m surprised at the way he narrows his eyes, and gets sort of serious, licking his lips quickly.
It’s easy to let the frustration rise up again, get a hold of me around my throat choking me up for a moment as I have to think what to tell him exactly. He’s smarter than he looks, always two steps in front of you, catching Yoongi and Jin hyung of guard even though the two of them have practically seen it all in all the years they’ve been alive. This isn’t said in vain when others warn against Taehyung. He’s as cunning as he is stunning.
‘’It’s the way she is! She just gets on my nerves you know.’’ I try lamely frowning gaze going to the doors ‘’The way she breathes is exaggerated, the way she talks, her voice is way to scratchy and of pitched, the lack of manners towards hyungs ugh…’’ If I was human, I’d shudder from anger but I simply close my eyes in frustration that part of her still irking me greatly ‘’…and the way she keeps on wearing hyungs clothes, and not sleeping enough. Does she even eat enough? What is that all about.’’
I end up glaring at Taehyung who nods once holding his serious demander but soon after ends up smirking widely eyes sparkling almost. He arches an eyebrow clearly having thought of something ‘’There’s also the fact that she almost beat your score in Overwatch.’’
‘’THAT TOO!!’’ I half exclaim throwing my hands in the air, then proceed to step up and don for a moment ‘’With my reflexes how is that possible?!’’ Taehyung just keeps nodding in understanding ‘’She’s a child that’s what she is! Doesn’t reach any level where we are, mentally and maturely.’’
‘’Pfff says the late bloomer himself.’’ I stop moving around and give hyung a challenging glare.
‘’I wasn’t that late. Just had extra on my plate in regards of my abilities.’’ I pout going into a similar pose as the beginning just standing closer to the doors.
‘’Aigo, Aigo, Golden maknae.’’ He tuts affectionately walking closer hand coming up to place it over my shoulder as he leans close to me ‘’You’ve got a fair point there yes, but don’t you think that we’ve had to accept you too in the beginning? That there weren’t any let’s say fractions of hesitance’s from our parts?’’
At this my nose scrunches up as I know it’s true, about their reservations when it came to me. My telepathy came at a disadvantage in the beginning, strength easily frightening even Hoseok hyung who is considered to be the best fighter in our clan.
‘’That’s it Jeonggukie. I see how your clogs are starting to turn. Do you see my point?’’
‘’She’s human hyung. There’s a difference.’’ At this he waves his hand straightening up.
‘’Meaning it’s in your favour if you really despise her that much. She’ll die judging by her bad lifestyle choices in a decade or two. Maybe three.’’ He shrugs attitude way to uncaring unlike our conversation a few days ago where he praised her and defended her loudly against Jimin who was upset at her yet another refusal. So, the switch has me second guessing him, and myself as…I didn’t even think about her dying.
It causes that boulder that hasn’t left my stomach to churn and twist, burning even at the thought of imagining seeing her lifeless body.
I don’t even notice that we’ve fallen silent until hyung speaks up again ‘’Anyways I’m gonna go find Jin hyung and maybe convince him to go to the city with me. I need new pair of shoes and a new collection is rumoured to be just on the verge of launching.’’ He wiggles his eyebrows patting my shoulder for a moment in consolation before he’s backing away, right hand stuck in the pocket of his pants whilst he gives me a finger gun with his left-hand winking a cold breeze of air whooshing past me, his eyes for a brief second turning icy blue ‘’Good luck, Bunny. And be nice to our human. They are fragile creatures after all.’’
I tilt my head in confusion staring at him ready to ask what he means by that but he disappears in a blink of an eye taking off leaving me alone. Even though I don’t exactly need air to breathe I do take it in and sigh, recollecting the confusion that are my emotions and have been for the past few days. Spinning on my heel I glance towards the double doors which are decorated with golden motifs, having been painted into white the wood barely peeking through unlike the inner side that displaying the many years the tree had before it was chopped down.
Pressing onto the handle of the left door I silently without making any sounds enter the big room from another perspective, the other entrance being in the ballroom whilst this one leads inside from a corridor that connects to the music room in the back of this huge house.
Nothing seems out of the usual as I take a look at the ground floor. Nothing moves either. I can hear her speed up heart and breathing, murmurs now and then cutting of the serenity. I walk over to the table that has been left since the “party” we’ve had. The name plates have been removed from its surface but it has been filled up by different books, and scrolls even. I glance over the few notebooks and stray papers here and there easily recognising Namjoon’s handwriting as well as Yoongi hyungs. The cracked screen of the iPad is mocking me as it lays unsafely on one corner of the table.
What has my immediate attention is a different looking notebook. I smirk in amusement as this handwriting is as of a child, words scribbled down in a fast pace, letters somewhere half formed or just distorted, even smudged. There’s an ink stain from a hand near the edge of the page, which I brush my own fingers over it. I can’t read through the text as it’s written in another language, and the choice of letters themselves are unusual. I don’t think I can even pronounce any word.
I’m not really here to offer my academic assistance as I barely speak any English myself, but it’s kind of nice to see that her character is clearly portrayed in the way she writes, and how she fills the page up irregularly. She’s as chaotic in real life and on paper.
Musing for a moment further spotting glasses and bottles of water on the other end of the lengthy table, I do glance upwards towards the second floor, hearing as a pen or something small as a pen clatters hitting the ground. By the lack of movement, I already figured she was asleep.
Silly human. Her life style is really un-well and extremely badly planned. Stepping around the table my intention on getting the girl and carrying her to her bedroom, gets postponed as my eyes shift onto a book, that for whatever reason has my feet stopping.
The gold of the cover is unusual between the rest of the books with used and dried up leather and yellowed pages. I pick it up, buried in between a stack of smaller scrolls and encyclopaedias actually. I frown at the title; it’s about mythology. Every kind actually.
What’s the most puzzling is that it’s written by hand. And the handwritings differentiate. Multiple people worked on this, and judging by the smell of the ink and paper things have been added or pulled out. Pictures are drawn here and there, and languages vary from all around the world from what I can judge by some symbols and added explanations in English.
There’s a myth about Thor, expanding at least 20 pages. Another myth about Pele a Hawaiian goddess covers well over 30 pages with many illustrations, and instructions from what I can assume for tattoos.
Shifting around I do recognize myths from the hand drawn images instead of their native titles. Nearing almost the end of the book, as I sniff at the pages and feeling like a complete idiot for a moment, I have to sit down as these are completely new pages added to this. Taking a look across the table, I find the A4 format pages placed near the corner just ahead of me, along with an old type-y looking pen with ink next to it.
Turning a page, I recognise the writing as being Jin hyungs which completely catches me of guard. Is this what they have been working on? Writing about myths?!
Don’t we have a coven war brewing?
Shuffling through the many written pages coming to the last one, I stare blankly for a moment the myth about Dangun which I know as it’s of Korean mythology. And as appropriate it is written in Korean.
What am I missing here? Why have they been working on this?! Why did other people work on this?! I pull the pages going slowly backwards, seeing stories actually unfolding. It’s not hard to connect the dots after a few pages, that these are from Yoongi hyung. But these are dating WAYYYY back in the millennia it feels like when hyung was as young as we are now it seems. But he was more mature definitely.
I frown at a half empty page where a sketch has been drawn into a half finished only the golden frame being finished. The sketch though - I can tell that linear lines are spears and, some even arrows that are sticking from what seems to be a pile of bodies on the floor? Only one figure is standing in the centre of the picture, with their back towards us armour robust and yet slim in a sense. I narrow my eyes at the handle of the soldier – the pommel is shaped like a pouncing lion.
Battle of Hwangsanbeol
That’s the title. I know about it from what hyung told me, but this is written much more in detail. The main explanation is from what humans are being told in schools, I remember it from college when I studied mechanics years ago. But the new ink underneath and Yoongi hyungs writing, is an indicator that this is where his story begins.
He didn’t take sides in particular, changing armours as he shifted from a Silla’s soldier into a soldier of the Tang army. The similarity is there with added commentary to make you know more about how life was then. What gets my attention is the comradery between hyung and another fellow that name is very generalized. They’ve struck a friendship and have covered for one another in battle, which had him switching sides and to remain with the Silla side out of curiosity and maybe even naivety he describes it. He didn’t have as much experience then as he does now to have judged everything smartly enough, even though the odds were clearly in Silla’s favour.
The praise towards the human soldier is tremendous, giving him full credit of saving his life more than once. And even though he was a turned by that point into an immortal, the praise has even me feeling grateful towards the man.
He did raise up in ranks, but he never left Yoongi behind. During the main battle after the slaughter, he describes his fellow soldier as being remorseful, as they stared across the field of many fallen soldiers and warriors and manslaughter that stretched miles away it had seemed at the time. It was brutal but necessary – I forget that hyung is from a completely different timeline sometimes. It’s easy to mistake him, and others for younger vampires.
The solider…tilting my head I spot a few notes written lightly over hyungs hand-writing. My frown deepens as the anger I felt before towards her starts to simmer - it’s not hard to see that this is Y/N’s handwriting. Her comments are absolutely ridiculous, playing hyung’s praise off – she’s dismissing it. How dare she? What does she know about wars, she was born in peaceful times, I bet to a good family! She hasn’t never experienced the horrors of wars, the stench, the travesty the fear the…
‘’No!’’ a shout has me glancing up stiffly. I notice how my fingers have curled into fists and how tight my jaw has locked together from anger ‘’…don’t…’’ she breathes out her heart beat now hammering. Confused I glance upwards thinking that she’s playing a joke on me. I’m ready to fucking snap at her – if she really is pulling a joke on me right now, I’m going to kick her out of the house myself.
‘’Ah no…’’ her words shift a cry following. What? Standing up I wait for amount further listening to her speed up breathing that’s sounds like hysteria ‘’NOOOO DON’T TAKE HIM NOOO!!!!!!’’ her cry is of terror and panic. It absolutely shocks me to my core but has me moving upwards, reaching the second floor and top of stairs in a second ‘’NO HE’S MY SOU…’’ she continues to shout switching to another language panic rising.
I’m completely disoriented by the mess that I find on the upper floor, books pulled and settled in piles on the ground, as posters of maps hang up over the book’s shelves. The 2 floor is sort of a balcony going half around the room above both entrances. After legit 2 spins around myself, I pick up on a mattress actually located in the very corner of the library. There’s a sheet stuck to the bent down ceiling, and a ton of blankets are thrown around the mattress.
I can see her finally, leg sticking up shoulder peeking over as she shifts onto her side ‘’Agápi mou, agápi mouuuuu…’’
‘’Shhhhh Y/N-ah.’’ I whisper as I run to her side, kneeling right next to her, my hands coming in contact with her overheated skin. She’s drenched in sweat, and twitching like crazy as if she’s fighting someone ‘’Wake up Y/N-ah it’s just a dream it’s not real, it’s not real!’’
‘’No…don’t go…’’ I pull her body into my lap without a second thought. As I brush her hair away from her face she flinches away probably because of my cooler hand. She’s overheating. What catches me of guard and has me whining is the tears that are running down her cheeks.
‘’Y/N-ah wake up, please wake up! It’s not real okay, it’s just a nightmare! You’re here with me in the library safe and sound! Come on you silly human wake up.’’ I urge her on rambling shaking her gently. She startles awake, eyes flying open hands in fists ready to fight. I half expect her to punch me but once her eyes find mine, she ends up smiling tiredly body immediately going lax in my hold.
‘’My love.’’ She says in Korean right hand reaching up, left palm pressed flat against my chest where my heart is.
‘’Don’t fall back asleep.’’ I try as her eyes fall close back again, her breathing having stabilized somewhat ‘’The one time I legit want to hang out with you, you suddenly want to sleep ah? The disrespect.’’ I laugh worried as I take her in. The bags under her eyes are prominent, and her cheeks which looks sort of more sunken aren’t reassuring me with her wellbeing at all.
I stare as her eyes blink open, taking me in clearly her hand that’s resting over my chest raises up shakily to cup my other cheek.
The blissful expression that settled before turns into a frown and a pout, as her eyes take my features in the change in mood confusing me with what to do. I readjust my hold gently, holding her steadily in my arms, making sure I’m not pressing to much of my skin against hers. I’ve heard from others that humans don’t like our colder skin in particular.
‘’Jeongguk-ah.’’ She states to which I offer a smile immediately as she seems to be coming back from wherever her mind took her.
‘’Yep. That’s my name.’’ I reply feeling her body tense up but not prominently. She’s waking up slowly at her own pace. She hums suddenly and pulls her hands back. I have to stop myself from wanting to tell her that it’s fine if she wants to touch me. That only conflicts my emotions all the more.
‘’Sorry am…was I making too much noise?’’ she asks gathering her thoughts, eyes darting around getting clearer as she notices the odd position we’ve fallen into.
‘’No, not at all.’’ I says wanting to immediately start reassuring her that everything is fine and she didn’t do anything wrong, but I have a hunch she’s not going to believe me either way ‘’Hyung wanted to see where you were exactly, and I was bored so. Two birds in one stone.’’
I help her up, as she starts to shift wanting to sit on her own. Silence begins after my brief explanation and after I’ve helped her sit back down onto the mattress. Without her permission I grab for a warm looking blanket and pull it over her shoulders, sitting down properly right next to her having this need to be as close as possible. Maybe I should offer a hug? Please say yes.
‘’What time is it even?’’ comes her question before I can ask her my own. She starts sifting more towards me, in the beginning of her sudden restlessness keeping the blanket around herself as she reaches with both hands upwards to rub her fingers across her eyes.
‘’Around 10AM.’’ I reply glancing towards the curtains, that are letting through sunlight from outside across the polished wooden floors only ‘’I think Jin hyung missed you at breakfast today.’’ I offer a smile while she pulls her hands away, running one through her messy hair quickly. She’s hunched forward into what seems like an awkward position – her gaze still seems far off like she’s not fully present yet.
‘’Oh yeah breakfast.’’ She mumbles glancing to the end of the mattress, to which I notice more pages and a silver notebook that has slid from the edge of the makeshift bed the papers all sprawled on the ground clearly by accident ‘’I didn’t mean to sleep.’’ She starts clearly her brain slowly starting up as she looks at me finally absently scratching the back of her head ‘’My back started to hurt, so I figured I should lay down or lean against the wall.’’ Ah so that’s why there are so many blankets piled up against the wall behind us.
‘’You should think more about getting proper sleep.’’ I comment ‘’I’m sure as great as this place is and cosy, I bet a proper bed would feel a lot nicer.’’
My heart and stomach flutter as she breaks into a small smile looking back to me amused ‘’Heard that before.’’
I shake my head immediately ‘’Uh huh. And if you’d listen, I think that would magically stop too.’’
She chuckles at my words, the gesture filling me with sort of pride that I actually made her smile and laugh. Oddly I want to comfort her properly. I want to make sure that she’s alright. Seeing her so distressed it…I can’t help but to still feel a bit freaked out myself. Her state is worrisome. Traces of her tears are still present over her puffy cheeks.
‘’So...’’ I start awkwardly ‘’Are you okay?’’
At this she looks away smile disappearing slowly ‘’I’m fine.’’ Another smile raises over her slightly dry lips this one clearly forced. She’s putting up a front – I just want to help her.
‘’You…’’
‘’I’m fine!’’ she’s quick to add not even looking at me swiftly pushing herself away, crawling over to the fallen notes, hands prompt with gathering her things ‘’Its fine. Totally fine.’’ She repeats it like a mantra, almost doubling over when she attempts to stand up ‘’I got it!’’ after the exclamation she’s up on her feet, proudly smiling goofiness making an appearance ‘’Totally A okay!!!’’
Frowning I’m quick to stand up following as she starts walking forward, feet slipping into her slippers before descending down the steps.
‘’You sure are saying that a lot for someone that just woke up screaming.’’ I don’t hold myself back this time. Even though I can’t see her face as she’s slowly descending down, the spring in her step isn’t present as much. She always walks with a bounce to her.
‘’This is the first time, it happened.’’ She huffs walking straight over to the table once her feet reach the ground. I grimace at her blatant lie, having heard her before in similar states that make much more sense now. But it’s always Yoongi that’s was at her side, specially whenever she went to sleep. It is different completely different to hear her from across the house, than from seeing her up close. It gives new meaning to her as a person.
‘’Yes, but it’s the first time that I’ve seen you sleep and wake up like that.’’ I point out as she places her notes on the desk, probably noticing the opened book I’ve left behind in my haste. Her head remains turned towards it, eyes going over the opened page ‘’You have nightmares every time you sleep, don’t you?’’
Taking the last two steps my feet touch the ground floor. I wait for her response as I make my way over to her left side, standing near her but putting enough distance to give her personal space. She flips the golden book to a close, placing a random one atop of it, shoulders shrugging in the meantime. Is she trying to hide it away from me? Or herself?
‘’A lot of people have nightmares, Jeongguk-ssi.’’ The serious look she gives me, irks me in a bad way. And not as in before where I felt agitated selfishly thinking of myself, but in a way that she’s treating me distantly - like I’ve been treating her more or less. The honorific is just the cheery on top. I think the phrase ‘give him some of his own medicine’ is appropriate to point out right now.
‘’Not like that.’’
She keeps staring at me upholding the glare she settles on. It’s so different from what I’ve seen her be and act around others. For the first time, I feel like I see another side of her which she clearly doesn’t like to reveal to anyone. Or anyone that’s not hyung. It’s starting to really bother me. Of course, I don’t really want her hurting or in pain, what just had occurred is something I’m ever going forget, but I’m sort of glad that I was here to snap her out of whatever nightmare she was in. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone. She looked completely heartbroken, and lost.
Seeing that she has taken up a stubborn approach, it’s hard to miss the way her body trembles. Wearing a pair of grey sweatpants, and a simple t-shirt the difference in temperature has her obviously chilly maybe even cold.
Given that she doesn’t intend to lose whatever staring contest we have going on, I end up breaking it and reach for the end of my hoodie, tugging it over my head smoothly ‘’Here.’’ I say offering. She doesn’t reveal how surprised she is on the outside – only her heart jumping slightly does – but she does raise an eyebrow in question ‘’You look cold and neither of us need hyung to scold us if you’ll catch the flue.’’ If I was a human, I know my cheeks would be bright red as my reasoning is clearly lame.
She accepts the hoodie with a quiet ‘thank you’ and tugs in on quickly ‘’Okay so, where was I? You can help me move some stuff and get books I need…’’ I’m pleasantly surprised that she’s quick to fall into her work after what just happened. I do keep myself quiet as this is clearly a distraction. But the smile that raises over my lips I cannot stop. Even with her back turned towards me, she looks good in my clothes. My hoodie suits her. And I’m sure my scent will mix better with hers than hyung’s.

Aeviternal Pt.06
Aeviternal: eternal, endless, never-ending
Pairing: Jungkook x Reader
Warnings: LOTS OF SWEARING, SEXUAL CONTENT
youtube
Inspired by this amazing video.
Pt.01  Pt.02  Pt.03  Pt.04  Pt.05
No one’s POV
Jungkook enjoyed watching the suffering of his enemies, he was satisfied when they lost themselves and begged on their knees in their vulnerable state.
“Please. Please, I’m begging you.” The tied man shouted as Yoongi cut deeper in his arm. Yoongi besides being an amazing hacker, he was one of the most skilled torturer among the boys. He was cold-blooded which was one of, if not the best trait in the ganghood. But he wasn’t the only one who tried to gain information from that hostage- Jimin had already beat him up badly, he coughed and spit  blood on Jimin’s face so Jungkook decided to break him with Yoongi. That was a smart decision.
Jungkook was sitting on his leather armchair, his right leg on his lap, holding a cup of wine. He smirked at Yoongi who just nodded and continued.
“STOP! I HAVE A FAMILY MY DAUGHTER IS WAITING FOR ME!” 
“We know you, Song Daeyun. You are a real bachelor, you don’t have any wife or kid.” Jungkook laughed bitterly and took another sip of the wine.
Yoongi chuckled. “You are really pathetic.”
“I will tell you everything, just… aghhhh… STOP!” Daeyun shouted as Yoongi reached into his deep cut with his hand.
“We are curious, so please tell us something interesting.” Jungkook told the man whose hands were tied behind his back. His eyes searched for Jungkook’s. Jungkook’s eyes were cold, they didn’t hold any emotion. Of couse, he didn’t feel sorry for anyone except for the 6 boys and…he thought of his childhood friend, Y/N for a seconds. He had to cast her out of his head - now he was face to face with the man who was possibly behind the assault of Namjoon.
“Fine. Fine. My boss ordered me to do it.” He said breathlessly.
“Who is your boss?” Yoongi asked irritatedly.
“Jaebum.”
Jungkook was in rage and smashed the unique porcelain vases he ordered from Hungary for his mother years back which were quite expensive.
“Jungkook.” Hoseok called his brother’s name. He was frowning, he didn’t like when his baby brother let out all his anger. He was worried about Jungkook getting injured. Despite of telling him everytime to control his temper, he had never stopped doing those.
“That fucker must die.” Jungkook growled. “He thinks he can fuck with us. He should  have learned his place by now.
“Jungkook, you won’t solve anything with destroying every precious memory of our mom.”
His hyung’s word affected him, and he buried his head in his hands.
“I’m afraid I will lose someone around me.” Jungkook admitted.”I would feel even more guilty than I do now.” 
“You won’t…”
“How do you know that? Are you a goddamn fortuneteller?” He snapped unfairly at his older brother. Hoseok knew he Jungkook there was no use to argue with him.
“No, I’m not but pessimism harms your health seriously.” He said and left his baby brother alone, collecting the broken pieces of the porcelaine vases.
Y/N was extremely tired lately. She almost fell asleep multiple times during the classes lectures, she had to borrow her friends’ notes because she could hardly concentrate. Her mind was occupied with the one and only Jungkook and his life. She felt sorry for him, she couldn’t have expressed how much she wanted to comfort him by words. She knew - it would have been the smartest choice if she had rejected that offer. However, deep inside she was more than happy to see that boy who once invaded her house everyday after school, who saved her from the bullies and who taught her that she was a precious one.
After Jungkook left Busan with his brother and his mom, Y/N realized she had had a huge crush on the boy next door. She had spent days crying her heart out, she just hoped she would see him again. But Jungkook didn’t have any relative to visit in Busan. He never came back to her disappointment.
When she saw him again, she once again felt a swarm of butterflies in her stomach. As much as she tried to ignore it, she couldn’t.
“Y/N!” Her roommate and friend Seol shook her shoulder gently.
“Uhm… sorry.” Y/N smiled in her embarassment.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I’m just tired.”
“Don’t tell me…”
“Don’t tell you what?”
“YOU ARE IN LOVE, AREN’T YOU?” Seol asked loudly. Seol had always wanted Y/N to pick someone up. Y/N didn’t really do anything in her free time besides studying and being alone  in her room in their shared flat.
“No, I’m not. I would have told you.” Y/N rolled her eyes.
“I don’t why are you so interested but my love life is still a big zero at the moment.”
“Oh come on, Y/N.” Seol elbowed her. “I heard a guy’s voice when you were talking on phone.”
“He’s a good friend of mine.” 
“Friends with benefits?”
“Nope.”
Seol laughed and seeing her friend’s angry facial expression she put her hand on hers.
“I was kidding. But is he hot?”
“Yes, he is.”
“See? You blushed, well he must be realy important to you then.”
“He’s my childhood best friend, former neighbour and classmate.”
“So, he’s Jungkook, right?”Seol winked at Y/N, who almost choked on the water she was drinking.
“How do you know that?”
“Well I haven’t told you yet, yesterday when you went to have a coffee with Kaya, that guy asked if you were at home, I had to make him sad.”
That surprised you completely.
“Was he here?”
“Yes, he was sitting in front of the flat, I asked you if I could help him and then he told what he wanted. He wanted to give you money, I didn’t understand it though.”
‘Oh really, the payment.’ 
“I don’t understand it, either.” Y/N lied effortlessly. She did not remember she was working for him a bit.
“He seemed like a nice guy. If you don’t want him, maybe you can set up a date with him.”
Y/N unconciously scoffed causing Seol’s grin bigger. Seol read people’s emotions very well, Y/N couldn’t hide her feelings.
“Now, Juliet, I hope you and Romeo get together.” Seol laughed and before she could answer, Y/N’s telephone started to ring. Who called her? Jungkook. “Wow, it reminds me of saying Bloody Mary to the mirror. I bet if you say ‘Jungkook Jungkook Jungkook’ he will appear behind you and kiss you passionately. Now all I had to do is chanting kpop star’s names.”
Seol ran to the bathroom and Y/N could hear her saying ‘G-Dragon’ three times. She really loved her adorably stupid friend. Jungkook kept calling her, so she answered the call.
“Y/N.” Jungkook said softly and her heart started beating too fast.
“Hello, how can I help you?”
“I want to give your well deserved money. Are you home alone?”
“No, Seol is here.”
“I will pick you up in a minute, actually I’m on my way.”
“WHAT? YOU JUST THINK YOU CAN …”
“I don’t think, I know I can borrow you for a little time.”
A week had passed since their reunion and surprisingly Jungkook texted and called her often. It was still strange to Y/N to meet him like they used to do.
“You are unbelievable, Jeon.”
“Tell me something knew.”
“IS THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND, Y/N?” Seol yelled on purpose behind her.
“SEOL SHUT UP AND NO, HE’S NOT MY BOYFRIEND.”
Jungkook just laughed.
“Your roomate seems quite friendly.” 
“If she’s not a crazy chick like now, indeed, she’s friendly.”
“I’m here.” Jungkook said ending the call and you saw from the window that a black car parked in the parking lot.
“Wow, here is your Prince Charming.”
“Shut up.”
“Is it enough, Y/N?” Jungkook asked her as she started to count the amount.
“Of course. It’s actually more than we agreed on.” Y/N replied and looked at him  with curiosity in her eyes.
“I wanted to make sure you have everything.” Jungkook scratched his neck nervously.
“Is Namjoon doing okay, now?”
“Yes, he got back to work, I told him not to but he was persistent, and we found out who wanted us dead. I am afraid we are under watch, you should be more careful from now on. Understood?”
“Yes, I understood.”
“That’s why the guys will keep an eye on you more often.”
“More often than before? God…”
Jungkook chuckled and ruffled Y/N’s hair, he was fond of her long, naturally curly dark hair. 
“Y/N. You know you are important to me. I am glad we meet after years and I don’t want to lose you. You and Hoseok are the only one who know the real me, the ordinary boy Jungkook. Believe it or not, it means a lot. I don’t have to act tough with you.”
Y/N’s cheeks were tinted in deep shade of red and her heart again was beating in her stomach.
“Good to hear it.” Y/N cleared her throat. She felt herself falling into Jungkook’s web she wanted to avoid it at all cost. Clearly, Jungkook was fucking around, he didn’t need anyone of the opposite gender to hold him back. 
The two of them were sitting quietly in a bench near the warehouse, Jungkook was staring quietly the sky which was full of stars, luckily once the perfect view wasn’t blocked by the clouds. He wanted to speak up and tell her all the things he felt but it would have been too fast and he was confused. He didn’t know what was Y/N to him exactly. Right, she was important to him but to be more exact he couldn’t answer to it. Only a best friend or… possibly a lover? Since she had saved his life, Namjoon was talking about how cute she was causing Jungkook’s blood to boil. Sometimes he growled at Namjoon who couldn’t understand Jungkook’s odd behaviour. 
“Look, a shooting star!” Y/N broke the silence and pointed to the falling shiny ball.
“Let’s wish for something.” Jungkook smiled at her softly.
She nodded, to her surprise he grabbed her hand, holding in his big sweaty one. 
“Let’s do it.” Y/N said like this didn’t affect her at all. Jungkook nodded and both of them close their eyes.
‘I wish he was always safe and sound.’
‘I wish I can protect her in my whole life.’

My rankings is that Namjoon and Kaya definitely work out and so do Tae and Dilara. My heart says Nari and Seokjin are also a definite yes. And Sooah and Jimin probably too.
Trickier is the other three. I can see Hoseok coming around finally and admitting he likes Chaeyoung but their storyline spanning for decades because maybe she moves on and he has to watch her be with someone else before it's their time.
I love Jungkookah and Lia but I can also see theres being more complicated.
For me the biggest question mark is Yoongi and Miso but they also became my favorite couple that I root for the most since we got more of them recently. Just like how Tae and Dilara had a big problem to get through to emerge on the other side, I can see all the potential for big emotions and heartbreak and time that it would take to bring these two together, and those kinds of journeys feel the most earned, the kind you want to root for forever. Maybe thats why I feel Namjoon and Kaya, and Tae and DIlara and also Seokjin and Nari feel so certain to me.
Thanks for letting me think about it author ^.^~
I loveee this ♥️♥️♥️ Please feel free to think about it as much as you want, haha.
Super valid points, all of them. JKxLia and YoongixMiso are definitely unknowns now but I’m hoping that will become clearer soon. It’s so nice that you have faith in Yoongi and Miso though! I’m not a huge believer of having to put my characters through crap for the sake of it, but at the end of the day it’s a story 🤷🏻‍♀️ so some drama is expected. I get what you’re saying about relationships feeling earned though and that’s one of my favourite things about Tae and Dilara as well (and the others but that will come soon) :D
Thank you for this! Always love listening to readers’ musings - makes me feel a little less crazy for caring this much about fictional characters 🥰

Hot take but I think Namjoon is starting to regret breaking up with Kaya because he’s realizing that it wasn’t the right move but now it’s too late and if he admits it to her then he’s basically admitting he broke them up for no reason and she will hate him even more so now he just has to deal with what he’s done (but I really hope he does admit it though because I think Kaya will appreciate that more)
👀
We can see flickers of introspection in A Day and him sort of hitting rock bottom in the aftermath of their break-up. You’re definitely right in that he will be afraid to admit it, not because he’s afraid of being wrong, but because he’s afraid of being helpless. As for Kaya’s reaction, she’s not the vindictive type so I think she would recognise growth but she’s also massively hurt so her appreciation might be a bit tainted by that.

omg even the possibility of joon falling for someone else other than kaya MADE ME MISERABLE. he's already stupid enough for breaking up with her please YOROBUN dont even think about it im gnna k!ll jooN first and then myself (is it showing that i am a kaya girl through and through)
You and me both. It’s hard for me to read other fanfiction because I imagine Namjoon or Taehyung cheating with Y/Ns so I get you, I really do 🥲 Love that you’re a Kaya fan ♥️♥️♥️ I really do love her so much and so does Namjoon

Re the joon and kaya fic - I’m heartbroken but I also can’t help but remember a certain accidental pregnancy that’s supposed to occur soon 👀👀👀 I know she specifically said she’s on birth control and he finished outside and all but… maybe she missed a day? Maybe he “slipped up” and that’s why he was so awkward before he left? My mind is going a thousand different directions and I’m losing it 😬😬
Anon, I think you’re missing the biggest red flag here which is that even if she is pregnant, Namjoon may not be the father 🤷🏻‍♀️

No. 27? For all the couples 🦋
Hahaha, this is a good one.
27. Who is the light weight that needs to be taken care of after a party?
Namjoon x Kaya - They’d both handle their alcohol pretty well, but on occasion would need to take care of the other. Kaya is more likely to get drunker while hanging out with friends or girlfriends, while Namjoon is more likely to get wasted at a party.
Seokjin x Nari - Nari
Yoongi x Miso - Neither, but if at all, then Yoongi
Hoseok x Chaeyoung - Both; Hoseok would pace himself automatically if Chaeyoung was drinking to make sure he’d be able to keep track of her
Jimin x Sooah - Mostly neither, but once in a blue moon, Sooah
Taehyung x Dilara - Taehyung
Jungkook x Lia - Lia, once in a while Jungkook
Asks for OTPs

Hey!
I wanted to message you since I absolutely loved what you've come up with with the idol series. I particularly relate to Nari, Kaya and am absolutely rooting for Miso.
Kinda feel sorry for Seulgi.
If you have a taglist, would you mind adding me on it, particularly for the yoongi x oc story?
Thank you!!
Welcome and thank you so much! Idk if you've read everything but even three stories is a lot so that's amazing :') Interesting your relate to those two - there's a new Kaya fic coming out soon that I'm super excited about :D Seulgi has received mixed opinions so far but sorry is a new one, haha.
I can definitely add you to the taglist :D

Continuing the angst, no. 15 for Joon and Kaya and Jin and Nari (can I ask for two couples?)
I love this question!!! And of course, you can ask for as many couples as you want mwah
15. What songs remind you of their relationship? A lot of my playlist for pairings have been mentioned in various fics but I'll jot some of them down anyway
For Namjoon and Kaya -
Wake Up With You by Emerson Leif (soundtrack to Aphrodite): Initial attraction and testing the waters; lingering touches, learning things about the other, morning sex and exploring each other's bodies
Meet Me In Amsterdam by RINI: A stronger attraction than expected, longing and hope of a reunion
Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby by Cigarettes After Sex (soundtrack to About You): Promise of being there no matter what, complete trust and love, unconditional protection
Very Few Friends by Saint Levant: Can't talk about this song without blushing but if you listen to it and picture Namjoon you'll get it
Crying Over You by HONNE, RM, BEKA: No context
For Seokjin and Nari -
You're My Best Friend by Queen (soundtrack to You Make Me Live): A best friend being so much more than just a friend
If It Kills Me by Jason Mraz: Feelings you don't realise are building until it's too late
Lucky by Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz: Self-explanatory :)
Don't Know Why by Norah Jones: Doing something you think is right but not knowing why it feels so shitty anyway
Head Over Feet by Alanis Morisette: No context
Ship Ask Game - The Basics

Hi I just followed you!! I love Joon and I came across Aphrodite and amazed dazed and whatnot 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 I cannot express how giddy I was while going through your works. 💕💕💕💕
Also I have a question is there an actual written work of Joon And Kaya meeting for the first time, or it just an idea (about oc giving book to Joon,,) because I cannot seem to find it. AND I AM CURIOUS ABOUT IT!! 🥹 THANK YOU
Ahh, thank you and welcome! Namjoon and Kaya’s series seem to have that general effect :’)
To your question - no, there is no fic with that exact moment. It’s referred to here and there just like many moments from all the storylines. The series would be wayyy too large if I wrote every single moment of every story 🙈
But the short of it is that I see them bumping into each other in the tiny English section of a bookstore in Seoul a few days before Voice of an Angel, Kaya not knowing who the hell he is and just thinking he’s cute. They both want the last copy of Kafka on the Shore, Namjoon chivalrously offers it to her, but when she’s at the checkout counter she pays for it and leaves it there for the handsome stranger. She finds out later through her cousin Jae-Lin who he really is, they land up the next day at the same museum and go to lunch and et cetera ♥️

51 for all the couples! gosh i love them so much ♥️♥️
51. Who is more likely to be flirty with the other when they are drunk?
Namjoon x Kaya - Kaya (Namjoon would get more philosophical and wax poetic about how much he loves her. Kaya would fully try to pick him up as if she doesn't already own his ass)
Seokjin x Nari - Nari (Seokjin would get pretty quiet and a little tactile, but Nari would be slurring mess of pick-up lines, most of which she learnt from Seokjin himself)
Yoongi x Miso - this is quite far out of the realm of possibility right now so I'm going to skip them
Hoseok x Chaeyoung - Chaeyoung (She would revert to a preteen version that can't quite believe Chanyeol's best friend got this hot. Hoseok would do everything in his power to not do anything that could be construed as inappropriate with his best friend's little sister)
Jimin x Sooah - both, but Jimin a bit more (they're literally flirting 24x7 while sober)
Taehyung x Dilara - Taehyung (He would get a bit ruffled and smooth and sexy. Dilara would straight up push him into a room and unbutton his trousers)
Jungkook x Lia - Jungkook, but not in the way that you think (He'd probably get a little stutter-y and red-faced at first, followed by really smiley and giddy. Lia would be similar to Seokjin - a little quiet, but super touchy and handsy with Jungkook)
