IM ALIVE!! 😄

my grad program is awesome! I thankfully have a small class, and the profs plus my mentor are all cool and super passionate about their classes/areas of focus, which makes me excited for the class! :D (except for biopsych, biopsych is rough 💀)

I’m sorry to hear that the social aspect is stressful, I hope that eases soon and that you’ll have the opportunity to be able to create a comfortable positive social space for yourself 💜💜💜 high school really does breed...unpleasant social environments though so it can be frustrating and stressful to create a positive social space :/ I would like to say, though, that if you need an ear or support, I’ve got you! you’re not alone! 💜

lol, I think you’re allowed to have senioritis whenever you feel like it. I remember my peeps in high school started having senioritis the second month of junior year. I don’t think senioritis discriminates people’s grade level, it’ll come for you whenever 😅 and when it hits, it’ll knock you out cold, too

how was your trip to the local island? was it relaxing? great views? did you get to tap into your creativity? have any more fun trips you’re looking forward to?

sending you all my love, tor-mon 🖤

tor-mon!!!!! How are you? It's been so longgggggg imyyyyy :(((((

How is school?

Anyway-- Ily and have a great day!!!!!!!!!

mellilla!!!!!! it has been forever and a day, especially since this ask has been sitting here for a long while. I'm sorry I'm replying so late but I want to let you know I've (now) seen your message!

I'm well and excited that I've now started my grad program 🥳 I hope your summer has been fun-filled and the starting school season brings you just the right amount of challenge and fun learning!

ily and I hope you have a lovely day too!

sending you all my love, tor-mon 🖤

Hello my lovely little reading monster, how are you doing?

I’ve been so busy and it’s been a while since I’ve talked to you so I wanted to check in and see how you’re doing ☺️💜

I swear, once my workload lightens up I’m going to do so much writing! I hate how long it takes me to upload between fics but life gets in the way ya know?

Hope you’re well and taking care of yourself 💜💜💜

This ask has been sitting here for a long, long while. I'm sorry I'm replying super late, but I still want to acknowledge that I've (now) seen your message!

I'm well and excited to start classes again this semester! I also definitely understand the sentiment of life getting in the way. Although, you may not be satisfied with how long it is between your fic uploads, I'd like to acknowledge that you're basically writing a fic everyday with how many asks about your fics you answer! There's a lot of thought and creativity in your answers, so while they're not fics themselves, altogether I'd say the amount you answer is similar to the energy and brain power of creating a fic!

In other words, you're doing amazing work! Whether you're writing your next fic, answering asks, or creating beautiful aesthetic mood boards, I appreciate all the content you give us!

your lil monster delight, tor-mon 🖤

dear fellow reading monsters, merry meet, my lovelies! it’s been a while since I’ve logged onto tumblr and brewed some tea. I’m sorry I disappeared without a word for months. I miss you all, and I appreciate you being here, reading these words, and checking into this Reader’s Tea café and library (i.e. this blog). thank you! I 💜 you!!

I am back! I am certainly not done brewing tea and sharing my love for our lovely, amazing, talented writers! here are a few announcements so you know what to expect of me as I return:

these next couple of weeks may be random updates until I incorporate reading and brewing tea (i.e. writing reviews) back into my routine.

the next weekly special (personally, my favorite way to brew tea) will be the week of mabon, the autumn equinox (mabon is on thursday, sept. 22, so the weekly special will begin monday, sept. 19).

the usual schedule for serving tea (i.e. posting reviews) is mondays, thursdays, and sundays at noon ET. I’m aiming to get back into this schedule.

you’re welcome to send asks! although I’ve been away (and I’m rather slow to craft a response), I’m happy to talk about fics, books, and writing things; share fic recs; or answer questions.

I currently serve tea for bts fics (and have served a couple of novel teas), but I’m seeking to expand the menu! I’d like to serve more tea for novels and will start to do so over the next few months in addition to the bts fics.

you’re lovely, and I hope you’re having a lovely day! may the stars shine fondly on you,

your fellow reading monster, tor-mon 🖤

#i 💜 you all!!!#the reader's post

I’ve missed you too, mellilla! 🖤

25 pages!? holy heck! that’s amazing and a lot of words! I’m excited to see the world you’ve created! 😄 a ski trip to a local island sounds like the perfect writing getaway! beautiful views, new adventures, fun skiing activities with a group, and (most importantly!) being away from school will certainly get the creative juices flowing. I hope you have a lot of fun on your trip, and it allows you to destress!

All is well here! I’ve been crazy busy with grad app deadlines while maintaining my current research projects and work, but I like the busyness; it’s been good, satisfying work ☺️

lots of love, tor-mon 🖤

mellilla! merry meet! ☺️ thank you for tagging me in your latest chapter of mare altius quam (beautiful name btw!)! I can't believe I missed this series, but I'm excited to binge read it this weekend 😄 (yoonmin and alien?? 👀 count me in!). I hope school and the wintry season are treating you well! sending you all my love ~tor-mon 🖤

hi Tor-mon!!!! I've missed you!!!!

No rush! Take your time!!

I have like a 25 page world building and story planning doc which is like....I have a problem???? School is great! I'm going into ski week for my school next week so lots of fun writing and stuff! I'm traveling to a local island which will be a nice getaway to write and be at peace.

How are you doing?? I hope all is well!!

The Devil Skates on Thin Ice by vankoya

Yoongi feels his soul pitfall into the depths of his stomach. He wonders what kind of farfetched notion of hope led him to believe that the gods would ever be on his side.

Because there she is: the devil reincarnated. Twirling in a flawless camel spin upon the ice; left leg arabesque, arms arched with the elegance of a swan.

This fic reads like a movie: I could clearly see the scene unfold in my mind’s eye, envision the movie-like transitions be it a fade, cut, or continuity, and I could see where the camera would pan, zoom in, or zoom out. The two scenes that most encapsulated this feeling were the opening scene when Yoongi screams his heart out (which I gleefully laughed at) and the transition from Yoongi’s final game to the red and blue colors. Particularly, the latter transition made me salivate with literary satisfaction—the continuity transition was smooth and swept me up into the climax, the dramatic, heart-stopping moment, and the heartbreaking emotions; in short, a flawless execution!

I am in love with the narrative: when the characters take a moment to think or feel, the narrative blooms and draws me into the character’s head until I feel and think what Yoongi or the mc feels and thinks; I am immersed. The descriptions, quirks, and flaws make the characters feel solid and alive. I think my favorite random tidbit is that Jimin is graceful on the ice but a herd of elephants on the ground. Also, shoutout to Minah for being a wonderful and supportive friend to the mc. Minah served a lot of comical bits that I couldn't stop laughing at (namely, the "shark week in southern waters" bit—poor Hobi 😂), but best of all I love her support for and psychoanalysis of the mc—especially when she explained that she wasn't ignoring the mc because she was mad but that she was giving the mc space until she was ready to talk to her; she's a good friend.

“You’re ruining me,” Yoongi whispers, skimming his fingertip against the heat pressed beneath the soft skin of her cheeks.

I absolutely love the yellow scrunchie, it doesn't even have much focus in the story as a whole, but the way that silly, cute, yellow scrunchie's appearance reveals a small lovely bit of Yoongi and the mc's relationship before they became enemies while also upheaving Yoongi's perception and changing the way he approaches the mc's forgiveness is powerful. Not to mention it's yellow and provokes a hopeful change in their relationship—the color symbolic harmony is immensely satisfying.

That hope, however, quickly morphed into a haunting sense of foreboding—just when we see the Truth and we're uplifted in the sweep of Minah's 'forgive Yoongi operation,' vankoya starts driving us to the edge with the line "Bad things come in threes, Yoongi knows this all too well,” and I most certainly was on the edge of my seat (a nervous mess, as well). While reading the ending, the angsty parallel of the uplifting and comical beginning feels like a season finale and we're approaching a devastating end where everything we love is at stake. However, rereading the uplifting and comical parallel of the angsty ending feels like a haunting and foreboding rock in my stomach (it also doesn't help that I immediately reread this after I finished it, so the pain was fresh). Worse still (read: I'm in literary heaven and my feels), vankoya hits with a devastating flashback parallel to their current situation and the contrast between the two left me breathless and a sobbing mess. The placement of that particular flashback makes both scenes ten times more heartbreaking, and I don't think I've ever loved the use of flashbacks more than I have in vankoya's story.

“Only because you destroyed me first,” she murmurs, leaning into his hand as it gingerly lays against her throat.

This e2l is one where I feel for both characters, even when I don’t yet know the entire reason for their feud: the mc’s position feels painful and betrayed, while Yoongi’s position feels unfair and frustrating. What stood out to me the most regarding the e2l trope was why Yoongi and the mc became passionate enemies; I haven’t seen an e2l with a history and a reason for their conflict quite like theirs, so this has stuck memorably with me—also, that the reason is tied up in the mc’s flaws gives me great satisfaction because I love her character, her passion, her elegance, her stubbornness, and her vulnerability, and I love a character build where the character’s admirable traits are amped until they become their flaws and downfall.

Yoongi and the mc clash with such vigor that, while I laugh at the scenes they make, I can feel the energy and emotion in every one of their interactions strike me down to the bone. The best example is the climax—the showdown at Yoongi’s front door, the Glacier Argument. Their (rather amusing) quibbles and squabbling don’t exactly reveal the source of their animosity—they fight but they don’t fight about the heart of the problem between them—so when the argument finally landed, I was flying over the words, eagerly eating up every word, every action, every emotion that vankoya so beautifully painted into this heart-gripping scene. Their pain, their journey, and all their asides, insults, and fights build, then settle, then twist until the tension is thick as ice until they explode into this emotionally charged, vulnerable and raw scene; I may not have been the one fighting, but I felt like my soul was stripped open and bleeding during their argument. The scene had me clenching my hands from the sparking tension. The sheer intensity of Yoongi and the mc’s emotions left me breathless and buzzing from my hands to my chest.

His hands hold earthquakes, shaking as he hushes her with his fingertips against her skin. He brushes away the sticky strands of hair that have tangled with her eyelashes, and are slick against her parted, gasping lips. Softly, she whimpers, hardly audible over the nearing wail of sirens that flash red and blue—the only colour that paints the black swathes of midnight.

THE DEVIL SKATES ON THIN ICE ∙ MIN YOONGI

↪︎ Series Master List ∙ Winter Sports AU ∙ Complete ✓

The number one rule of Korea National Sport University is to never allow their elite figure skater and the captain of the ice hockey team be in the same room. Or, in their case, on the same ice rink. They are infamously known for riling each other up in any way possible, and for having a mysterious history that even their closest friends know nothing about.

But when their coaches decide it is finally time to put an end to their five-year rivalry, the pair of them have very conflicting views about it.

↪︎ Winter Sports & Rivalry AU ∙ Fluff & Angst & Humour

Pairing: barista!Jungkook x figure skater!Jimin Chapters: 1/1 Word Count: 2.3k Genre: pure fluff and cuteness || figure skating au (+ a smau) Rating: Teens and Up Audiences Warnings/tags: first dates, misunderstanding, they’re whipped for each other, your face might hurt from smiling so much, flirting, teasing, fluff and cuteness overload, gentleman!Jungkook

Summary: In which the cute barista Jimin has been crushing on has no idea Jimin is an Olympic figure skater and asks him out on an ice skating date.

Misunderstandings on Ice by NaHe [ao3]

Maybe if Jimin was a stronger man, he would have come clean right then, but he was feeling pretty weak.

I am also feeling pretty weak for Jikook’s cute and fluffy first date. I couldn't stop smiling and squealing at their sweet and slightly awkward but all-too-endearing interactions—please every time Jimin "wobbled" and Jungkook swooped in, I swooned. I love the idea of Jimin, an Olympic figure skater, tossing aside his years and years of training on the ice because the cute barista said he wouldn't let Jimin slip on the ice (I mean, I can’t blame him, tho).

Also, the ending had me in fits of giggles (Jungkook's wheeze!), and while Jungkook reassured Jimin and kept him from falling on the ice during their date, I can imagine Jungkook tripping over himself in awe watching Jimin figure skate.

So [Jimin] took [Jungkook’s] hand, walking into the ice like a newborn calf. If any of his trainers saw him now they might just burst a vein.

last christmas | ksj x reader

summary: it was bound to happen, eventually. after months of near misses at barbecues and birthdays, there’s no avoiding your ex-husband at hoseok’s annual christmas bash. but it’s fine, totally fine, because you’re both adults – and you’ve both brought dates and booze. what could go wrong?

pairing: seokjin x reader

word count: 9.0K

rating: 18+

genre: exes to lovers, smut, snark, snarky smut, extra snark

warnings: SNARK, neurotic!hoseok, instigator!yoongi, angelic!namjoon, one super sexy baby lady, emotional constipation, sexual repression, one ill-timed waxing, bickering during banging, sniping during smutting, fighting during f – let me not beat a dead horse here – unprotected sex, bad manners, inconsiderate behavior, terrible accounting jokes, no actual sweaters were harmed in the making of this fic

a/n: hey, you! wanna read something super silly and smutty? FANTASTIC. this is my contribution to the “rockin’ around the christmas tropes” collab. my trope is EXES TO LOVERS and this is my take on the madness. i really love and admire the authors in this collab so much @untaemedqueen @ladyartemesia @ppersonna @underthejoon @yeojaa @snackhobi and the boo who is not an author but still every bit as vital to our stories, @hobi-gif 💕

“We’re one week out and you still haven’t told me what I can bring, Hobi.”

You drop a bag of tomatoes into the basket hooked into the crook of your arm as you balance your phone between your chin and shoulder.

“Bring booze,” Hoseok mutters. He sighs deeply before adding, “Bring a lot of booze, actually.”

The little old lady trailing behind you is unprepared for the abrupt stop you make in front of the bananas. She scowls as she’s forced to sidestep and you shoot her an apologetic look.

“Hoseok,” you drag his full name out slowly, carefully. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Your knuckles go white around the onion in your hand as you wait through his uneasy silence.

“It means… that Seokjin is going to be there.”

The tantrum you have right in the produce section of Dongdaemun Market is quick and soundless – just a few frantic seconds in which you rip the phone away from your ear and shake it violently mid-air. Beside you, the old lady goes from scowling to smirking as she grabs her bananas.

You shoot her another look – this time dirty – as you press the phone back to your ear and do your best to sound casual.

“Oh?”

You melt, “Oh my God! Don’t—just—I’m literally going to die!” You whine, shoving your face into his puffer as you scream at his suaveness.

Same, mc, that was my reaction as well 😂

Dense/oblivious characters are sometimes as equally endearing as they are frustrating, and they’re made even more hilarious by the surrounding character’s obvious annoyance and multiple attempts to get the oblivious character to understand (e.g. “You see Taehyung, Jimin and Jin’s face fall as they all share a look of disbelief. ‘I’m sorry but I have no way to defend you.’ Jimin blinks.”). And in this instance, an oblivious and clumsy mc paired with a tsundere!yoongi creates fluffy and soft (and hilarious) fic.

I was in fits of giggles when Taehyung quite literally slid (or rather stumbled and nearly fell) into the conversation, and then he served the mc. It’s something about the way he’s a klutz on the ice and enters the conversation with no skills nor finesse but proceeds to (in the mc’s words) “slander” the mc and try to claim some brain cells back that has me in stitches:

Taehyung stumbles into the conversation, quite literally almost smashing his body against the divider but he manages to balance himself by gripping the hell out of Jin’s shoulders.

“You deserve it,” He sticks his tongue out as you gape at him.

“What?! Why?” You hiss, “You literally just entered the conversation!”

Taehyung rolls his eyes, “And I’ve had to see you and hyung doddle around each other for ages so spare me the fucking brain cells because clearly, you need it more than I do.”

~*~

and that’s the Tea brewed by tor-mon

Omg requests are open AAAHHH

may i request an oblivious oc and tsundere yoongi who likes holding oc's hands and idk like maybe oc thinks it's bc his hands are cold and his friends make fun of him and oc only realizes yoongi likes her when they spill his secret

as a yoongi stan, this is my guilty pleasure and this absolutely KILLED ME ily for asking this 🤣and double update today???? who am I?????

hope you enjoy this v fluffy and v yoongi piece

pairing: tsundere!yoongi x oblivious&clumsy!oc

genre: FLUFFFFFFFFFFFFF

warnings: lots of squealing into ur pillow moments. taehyung, jimin & jin being the saviours tbh

words: 3, 136

Yoongi is staring at you like you spilt milk over his favourite pair of sneakers and you have no idea what to make of it.

“Uh …” You drag, blinking up at him with wide eyes when all he does is level you with a blank stare.

You can hear the distinct chatter of your friends in the background, likely already having their go skating around the rink. They always left you and Yoongi alone, for whatever reason it may be. But you weren’t complaining, you wanted to give him your gift in private!

But when Yoongi only stares at the mass of knit in your palms as you hold it out to him, you can only feel your ears flush an embarrassing shade of red at the subtle gesture of rejection.

Sweets of the devil

Pairing: Kim Namjoon (BTS) x Reader

Genre: Slice of life, Established Relationship AU, Fluff, Romance, Crack

Rating: sfw, 12

Warnings: Namjoon has a very strong opinion about peppermint candies, lots of bickering?

Wordcount: 734

Event: Winter Hearts from kdiarynet

Prompt: Number 18 - “Peppermint candy canes”

A/N: I have no idea what his current opinion on peppermint candies is.. but I just remember the run bts scenes with their debate… and yeah… it inspired this.. please enjoy this one shot (and maybe tell me what you think)

When Namjoon walked into the living room, he saw you sitting on the couch, munching on a candy cane, while your eyes were trained on the screen of the tv.

A crime thriller played on it and the charming detective currently explained the case, drawing the whole attention of everyone around him. Even yours.

You hadn’t even noticed him entering the room, completely absorded into the movie and what was happening in there.

Namjoon smiled adoringly and walked over to you, observing your side profile intently. Your head rested on your knees, which you had pulled up to your chest, arms wrapped around your legs. Your eyes shined slightly while the candy cane hung losely out of the corner of your mouth.

SWEET BIRD

DISCLAIMER : This does not represent the personality of the real life counterparts of the characters used. I do not intend to glorify toxic behavior. I do not own BTS ( :((((( )

PAIRING : Jungkook x Reader

Warnings : Yandere themes, mentions of hunting animals (kindly mention any others that I might’ve missed in the comments.)

Summary : As the arrival of a new stranger brings prosperity into the village for many, it brings with it dread and misery for one - you.

A/N : I don’t know how this came out to be honest. Hope you like it!

-Aani

———————————————————————————————————–

Gold thread weaving over the white cloth, meandering throughout the sleeves of it’s pale canvas. The fabric laid over a wide wooden table, two ends of which were broken, creating a hazard for the young woman hunched over it, holding a needle in her nimble fingers.

Tired hands smoothed away pieces of unruly hair that escaped from her poorly secured bun. These rebellious strands fell into the girl’s eyes. This was a recipe for disaster since the woman in question required absolute focus in her as a seamstress. One wrong turn of a finger and she would not only ruin weeks worth of hardwork but also break the heart of the poor woman who looked forward to wearing the piece in the upcoming village festival.

sprinkles & kisses | knj

"The café Jimin picked out was the perfect place to celebrate the holidays; however, it was also the perfect place for Namjoon to embrace his clumsy side."

🎄 Pairing: Namjoon x reader(f)

🎄 Rating/Genres: PG-13; Fluff!!!, established relationship

🎄 Word Count: 1.4k

🎄 Warnings: Minimal kissing, one? curse word, clumsy Namjoon

🎄 Project: Part of the 12 Days of BTS event

Prompt: Cozy café with Christmas Songs

🎄 Beta: Thank you to my friend, Panda, who helped me when I was too lazy to edit. I loved your feedback! Truly! 💜

🎄 Author's Note: I thought I'd have more time to write, but I'm still running around getting ready for Christmas. I hope you enjoy this small fic. This is my first fic for the event, so there's more to come!

12 Days of BTS masterpost | main masterlist

Cinnamon, chocolate, and nutmeg invaded your senses. The potent aroma was overbearing at first, but the longer you sat sandwiched between your boyfriend, Namjoon, and his friend, Seokjin, the more you grew accustomed to the scent. Your cheeks felt warm as you continued to sip your hot chocolate… Or maybe it was because Namjoon’s hand was resting upon your thigh. Either way, it was much nicer than the nose-nipping cold outside. Though, you were beginning to wish you weren’t dressed in a long-sleeve due to the warmth.

“Where did you find this place?” Hoseok questioned Jimin from the other side of the table, speaking louder than usual to be heard over the holiday music playing.

The café Jimin invited everyone to was a big hit among locals. People of all ages were seated at their own tables—smiles and laughter all around you. The waiters were dressed in their best ugly Christmas sweaters with their name badges; some wore Santa hats and others wore Christmas-related headbands. They had handed every patron one of the headwears as they seated them. You were handed a headband with two trees attached by springs while Namjoon was given a headband with reindeer antlers with hanging bells.

“From the Internet,” Jimin answered with a shrug as he adjusted his snowman headband, a smile on his lips. “I was searching for something fun we could all do.”

“This is definitely a repeat for next year,” Taehyung chimed in as he watched a waiter walk past with finger food and a bag filled with mini canvases and paint supplies. You could see the excitement in his eyes.

The café was unlike any other. It was hosting its annual crafting week that allowed customers to dine while doing a selected craft. The crafts ranged from building miniature gingerbread houses to papercrafts. You imagined this was what Santa’s workshop looked like. Give or take a few scurrying elves.

The hand on your thigh tightened, making you turn to face Namjoon.

“Are you doing okay?” He asked, gently rubbing your leg as he waited for your reply. You leaned in closer, not quite being able to hear him over the loudness of the other customers. Namjoon followed your lead, coming closer to talk near your ear. However, he was stopped suddenly when one of his antlers hit the side of your head.

“Shit sorry!” He exclaimed and jerked back, swatting at his headband as if to punish it for hitting you. You laughed at his reaction and fixed your headband that had become crooked.

“It’s fine, Joonie,” you reassured. “What did you say?”

Namjoon got closer slowly; his eyes flickering to his headband constantly to make sure he wouldn’t hit you this time. When he was close enough, he asked his question again.

“Are you okay? I just wanted to make sure you’re not feeling uncomfortable.”

Your shoulders relaxed, not that you knew they were tense in the first place, and nodded. You had been around his friends before, but it was rare to be all together since everyone’s schedule rarely aligned. Plus, they were closer to Namjoon than to you. You were grateful he was thinking of your comfort.

“I’m fine. Are you okay?” You wondered back, but he ignored your question.

“Are you sure, baby? We can g-”

“I’m having fun,” you said. “Really,” you added with a smile when you saw the hesitancy in his eyes. He stared at you a few seconds longer before he pulled back, leaving his hand on your thigh.

Three minutes later and the waiters were setting down everyone’s selected craft. You and Namjoon had decided to decorate cookies while the others did painting, paper crafts, or jewelry making.

It was easy to fall into a rhythm with Namjoon. Despite only being together for five months, you were quickly learning his habits. For instance, you knew if you didn’t move the bag of frosting to his right, it would fall to the floor soon. Namjoon smiled sheepishly at you when you moved it and shifted his supplies farther from the edge.

You watched as Namjoon began to frost his tree-shaped cookie. He moved slowly as he tried to get the details perfect. It was endearing to see him bent over, face close to the cookie with his eyebrows furrowed in concentration. For someone who was built largely, he sure knew how to look so small at times.

“It looks good,” you said when he paused to examine his work. He glanced at you before peering at his cookie.

“You’re just saying that,” he sighed and set down his piping bag. You shook your head.

“No, I’m not. I like the way you used a dotting technique to make the shape of the tree,” you gestured at his cookie.

“Yeah?” He asked, sounding more confident. You smiled and moved closer to him; your gaze was glued to the way his eyes softened as he criticized his decorations less.

“Yes.”

Namjoon turned to you, heart jumping when he caught you staring at him rather than his cookie.

“Are you going to add anything else to it?” You questioned as you felt one of Namjoon’s hands rest on your lower back.

“Maybe,” he said, not bothering to divert his focus from you. “What should I add?”

“I think some sprinkles would look nice on it,” you replied. Namjoon smiled, dimples competing for your attention.

“I’ll only do that on one condition,” he hummed and leaned closer to your face. You raised your eyebrows, eyes glancing down at his lips when he came near.

“And that is?”

Namjoon opened his mouth to answer but was interrupted by Jungkook.

“This is a family-friendly event, you lovebirds!”

Namjoon pulled away from you, face slightly flustered at being called out.

“We weren’t doing anything,” he argued. “We were discussing what else to add to my tree.”

Jimin snickered at his answer but kept working on stringing beads to his makeshift bracelet.

Jungkook didn’t seem convinced. “You could’ve gotten our opinions, too.”

Namjoon shook his head. “I would’ve gotten silly responses from you guys. My girlfriend gave a good suggestion.”

“Which was?” Yoongi pondered.

“Sprinkles,” Namjoon answered shyly, feeling a little nervous for some reason.

“I think some of these would look better,” Seokjin suggested and held up a pack of mini ornaments, which were not edible.

Everyone laughed at his reply, but you knew he was being serious. Namjoon huffed and shook his head.

“See! Sprinkles are more reasonable,” Namjoon said.

“They are,” Jungkook agreed. “But the ornaments are more fun.”

Seokjin turned to Jungkook, gave him a wink with a finger gun, then turned back to Namjoon. Namjoon smiled at his antics and turned to you when everyone got back to their own tasks.

“You're still coming back with me, right?” Namjoon asked quietly so the others couldn’t hear, but loud enough for you. You nodded with a smile, causing Namjoon to return his own grin.

“Okay, good,” he said. He leaned in, giving you a quick kiss on the lips before any of his friends could complain again. You chased after his lips, whining silently when he pulled away too soon for your liking. Namjoon chuckled, granting you another kiss. He lingered a second longer before picking up the bottle of sprinkles.

“Later,” he promised when he saw the subtle dip in your lips. He gave your back a reassuring rub then moved to open the bottle. You picked up one of your piping bags and were starting to decorate your bell-shaped cookie when the sound of something—a lot of somethings—clattered to the floor. Everyone turned their heads to the sound. Namjoon sat frozen in his seat with his mouth ajar. One hand held the now half-empty sprinkles bottle while the other held the lid of said bottle. Looking down, you saw sprinkles rolling around the floor. Some of the sprinkles were still falling as many had also landed on Namjoon’s pants and were sliding off.

“You could say he sprinkled his pants,” Seokjin said as he watched, not surprised, at Namjoon’s mess. Following Seokjin’s joke was a chorus of chuckles and sighs from everyone at the table. Namjoon’s shoulders slouched as he peered at you bashfully. Unbothered, you simply smiled at him and gave him a soft kiss. You grabbed the bottle and cap from his grip, assembled it back together, then started helping him pick up the fallen sprinkles.

Thank you for reading!
