Chapter 1: where jungkook is an idiot

Summary:

the world is big until you realize that people can have almost identical snapchat names.

jeon jungkook stared back at the music teacher with a blank expression on his face when she had announced that they will be holding a showcase before the end of the first semester. 

"since this is an advanced group, i expect a lot from you. and as an incentive for better performances coming from you, the school has decided that the winner will receive the grand price of a two week trip to jeju islands. you may work with one other student within the classroom but be sure your solo part stands out."

oh. so this is no longer a school assignment. it's a competition. and jeon jungkook is going to fight to win. but he can't do this alone. you see, jungkook is the only freshman in a class of sophomores and juniors. he doesn't know how, it was probably just luck or they were really desperate for a fill in, because he got accepted on the same day as his auditions while the others had to wait for a callback. but he wasn't complaining, because his goal when he turned in the college application was to get into the advanced music group of the university. 

the students scattered themselves across the classroom, girls running to their best friends and screaming in excitement as they began planning for their performance. but there was one girl that stayed in her seat. she was calm, tucking in a piece of hair as she watched the excited faces in front of her.

park jimin, a junior, who was apparently also a freshman when she got accepted into the group. she's a good singer though, jungkook has heard in the early mornings when he goes to pick up his music.

the thought strikes him at once. what if she were to become his partner? that doesn't sound like a bad idea. but on second thought, she might have wanted to work alone. oh well, better get rejected than regret not asking in the first place, he thinks to himself before getting up from his seat to move across the room.

"jimin noona?" he asks in the smallest voice. the girl turns her head and looks at the boy with the same blank expression he's wearing. "do you know what you're going to do for your performance?"

jimin's face softened slightly. "not really, i haven't really thought about it all that much. these kids are too noisy, it's hard to put my ideas together. what about you?"

he gives her a small smile, hoping she'd return one back, which she didn't. "i don't know yet...i was thinking-"

he was interrupted. "you want to work together, jeon?"

well that was straightforward. and informal. at least she got to the point faster than he did. "if you don't mind!" he mentally slapped himself for sounding way too excited and desperate. "i would love to. you're a really great singer and i really look up to you."

jimin finally gives a smile. "didn't know i had a fan in the class. great, we'll discuss it later."

"noona, you should add me on snapchat!" jungkook blurts out. jimin gives him a weird look, but decides to shrug off the idea, kids these days.

"alright. it's parkjiminniie, don't miss the two n's and i's or you'll end up talking to some stranger," she laughs which made jungkook chuckled as well.

"nope, i've got it. thanks, i'll talk to you tonight!" he waves and hurriedly turned to his seat until the end of class.

 

 

it was approximately 7pm when jungkook finally crashed into bed, exhausted from all the running he had to do around school. oh the perks of being an assistant for the school's secretary. pulling out his phone, he remembered that he has to brainstorm with jimin, so he reached over to the yellow icon and opened the app. not bothering to check his friends' stories like he usually would, he switched the camera to the front and posed.

[txt: HELLO JIMIN NOOOONAAA]

and it took one 80 second story (hoseok hyung has a lot to share about his life) for a reply to come.

[txt: uh...who is this?]

oh fuck. what is happening? the last time jeon jungkook thought he fucked up this bad was when he forgot the lyrics during his eight grade choir audition. this can't be the event that tops it off. he's got to swallow his pride now - a real man would not just send an embarrassing snap and leave the other person on opened without answers.

[txt: Oh shit. Is this not Park Jimin?]

now he plays the waiting game. it took 15 seconds this time. and no, he didn't sit on his bed and counted the seconds under his breath, no that was totally not a nervous habit.

[txt: i am park jimin. just not the one you're looking for...]

welcome to the small ass world where there's apparently too many park jimin's. he had one simple job of adding a girl on snapchat and this is where he ended up.

[txt: well this is awkward...so sorry!! ]

if jeon jungkook were to give a life advice to anyone, it would be to use emoticons to hide his real emotions. and in this case, it's embarrassment that makes him when to crawl in a hole and die. and that was it, the stranger has left him on opened and he doesn't mind.

now he's just going to leave his bed, go take a hot shower and rethink his life before closing his eyes to sleep tonight.

and maybe he'll forget this in the morning when he goes to ask the park jimin from his music class for her actual snapchat. and he'll ask her to triple check to make sure he doesn't fuck up the name again.

Notes:

like jungkook, i also fucked up. i forgot to add the countdown on the top right corner, so i'll fix on for the next chapter. hope you enjoy. i know i have other wip but whatever ~~ ʕง•ᴥ•ʔง

Chapter 2: where jungkook makes a new friend-ish

Summary:

yoongi hyung knows jungkook way too well.

"hey jungkook, i don't think i got your friend request last night. i'm guessing you did miss up my username?" was the first thing jimin says when jungkook goes to his usual corner, where the crate of sheet music was waiting for him. 

he pouts. "yeah, i did. and i actually sent someone a picture, it was bad."

jimin lets out a laugh, surprising some of the students who were sight reading on the other side of the classroom. it makes jungkook frown this time.

"you know what, just take my phone and do it" he sighs in defeat, grabbing the device from his pocket and unlocks it to open the app. he then hands the phone over. jimin happily takes it.

"i'll give you my phone number too, just in case" she teased, typing in her contact. 

they spend the rest of the morning talking about different possible songs, why jungkook wakes up so early to go to the music room when he doesn't have the class until late afternoon (it's because he wasn't going to get any sleep with his roommate's loud snoring anyways), and their personal lives before jungkook had to leave for his biology lecture. 

 

"i forgot to ask this morning, how was your new little friend?" it was after warm up, when the professor had to take a phone call so they were on their own for the next half hour. jimin actually started the conversation between them this time. jungkook gives her a confused look. he doesn't remember meeting a new human being in the last twenty four hours. jimin rolls her eyes. (and jungkook concludes that it was just a habit, she wasn't really annoyed all the time. but on second thought, maybe she was, because man he'd be too.)

"the random person you added on snapchat." oh.

"uh.. he doesn't seem like a creep? that's one thing. he seems nice. he's got ginger hair, reminds me of Ron Weasley, but a lot better looking - in my opinion." he rambles, hoping that was enough information so jimin would stop mentioning the most embarrassing moment of his existence.

jimin paused for a moment before speaking again. "how'd you even mess up? i specific told you to remember the two n's and i's."

he shrugs, proceeding to pull out his phone to show her for the second time that day. jungkook's face falls into his palms as he glanced over the username, and handed her the phone, his face still shamefully hidden behind his left hand. this was all because he added one extra n. a letter that will be his next twenty years of drowning in embarrassment and self hatred. (quite an exaggeration, but he's really going to suffer because of that one dumb typo.)

"damn kid. you can get a gold star for trying," she laughs again, returning the phone and got up from her seat to go back to her section. the professor has returned, face still stiff just like before she left to speak on the phone. he wonders if she's ever messed up so bad too. 

 

jungkook did not have many friends around campus. but he knew his yoongi hyung could be relied on. the older boy's always busy composing, that or sometimes he just doesn't bother putting the effort into interacting with other humans. he usually hangs out around jungkook's dorm, discussing music with namjoon, or back at his dorm doing whatever he does during his free time. 

jungkook spots the older boy in the library this time, but he wasn't study. he had a stack of papers, but they were lyrics he and namjoon have been drafting for the past month. apparently their composing professor also assigned for them to write a song minus the performance part and the free trip.

"hi hyung" jungkook says, placing his books on the floor and kicking it under his chair as he takes a seat. yoongi only hums in reply, doesn't need to look up to know who was talking to him. "are you almost finished?"

"no" replied the boy, scratching more lines out and writing a couple of words in replace. "namjoon overslept this morning and missed half of class, even though i specific texted him the night before to get up early so we can finish the first draft." jungkook could feel the passive aggression in his voice and knowing him, he'd probably punch namjoon the next time he sees him. (okay but like in the arm, yoongi hyung isn't that mean of a person.) 

"oh, he probably worked late again. he wasn't there when i came home last night." jungkook tells him. namjoon's job was to hang around in the library after his final class and wait for kids to come and ask for tutoring. apparently the principal thought he was a good enough teacher to make it a paying job, minimum wage and he got unlimited printing at the library. 

yoongi shrugged, finally looking up. the two boys made eye contact and jungkook blinked at the older boy. "have you eaten?" jungkook shakes his head. "let's go get some food, i've lost track of how long i have been in this room and i'm kinda sick of reading over the same rap lines." 

 

"what's up with you?" yoongi finally questioned the moment they were hit with the cold november air. jungkook raised an eyebrow, wondering if he was acting strange tonight for the older boy to notice and ask. yoongi was usually the type to only watch, he doesn't like getting involved.

jungkook responds to the question by prompting another. "nothing, why would you think that?"

"you're fidgeting, picking the skin of your fingers - you only do that when you're nervous or lost somewhere in your thoughts."

"wow hyung, i didn't know you knew me that well," jungkook teased, playfully elbowing the boy walking on his left side, only to be pushed away. "i just did something stupid in my life and i'm slowly drowning in regrets. don't mind me, it'll go away in a couple of weeks."

yoongi rolled his eyes. they were finally at their usual ramen place, the older boy entered first and held out the door for jungkook. they headed to the same table in the back of the restaurant and yoongi gave a small smile to the waiter, jihoon, who immediately went to the kitchen to give their usual orders. 

they quickly settled down when yoongi picks up the conversation again. "what did you do this time?" 

"i tried to add a girl on snapchat, left out a letter in her name and ended up talking to some random guy."

yoongi let out a small chuckle. "you're an idiot."

"i know" he pouts. 

"maybe it's a sign from the gods that you need to make some new friends," yoongi teased and jungkook lets out an annoyed sigh. they gradually drifted from the topic and talked about other things, helping jungkook take his mind off his dumb mistake as the both waited for their food. 

 

Notes:

maybe some more snaps next chapter ?? i'm just winging these chapters bc i only planned out the snap storyline and not the text part lololol yikes rip me

Chapter 3: where jungkook makes a new friend for real this time

Summary:

he should stop getting excited about talking to strangers on the internet

to say jeon jungkook was surprised to find out that park jimin the 2nd (he woke up this morning and decided to call him that) had actually added him back as a friend on snapchat was an understatement. he was excited, ecstatic, and all the other words that meant holy shit why'd he add me back and maybe yoongi was right. (and yes, sue him for actually being curious and keeping park jimin the 2nd on his friends list.) but let's be real, he personally wouldn't have done that, because what if jungkook ends up being some random creep playing innocent until the right moment comes and he asked for nudes.

the disturbing scenario makes him want to slap himself for imagining those things in the first place. he wouldn't do that. and he certainly hopes park jimin the 2nd is not like that.

so the first thing he does, as park jimin the 2nd's friend on snapchat, is check out what he posts on his story. 48 seconds worth of pictures and videos, not as bad as hoseok hyung - thank goodness. the pictures just show park jimin the 2nd's daily life, he's with a couple of friends at campus, and then there's a video of him dancing and another short one of his friend who's got a deep voice, singing obnoxiously. they look like fun people to be around. the total opposite of how his friends who are quiet and only speak when it's really necessary. 

before jungkook could react, there is a notification saying that there's two snapchats from parkjiminnniie. what the actual fuck? jungkook was close to dropping his phone and running out of his dorm room. did park jimin the 2nd know he was stalking his story and now he's going to confront him about it? was he going to explain himself to jungkook, that he only added the younger boy to call him out on being a creep before permanently blocking him from his contact?

he swallows the sudden lump in his throat and slides over to the screen that showed the unopened snaps from park jimin the 2nd. biting his lips, he taps on the screen. it displays the boy's selcas under bright lighting.

[txt: hey! thought i could make a new friend out of this :) ]

[txt: but only if you don't mind... ]

of course. it's not park jimin the 2nd without the nervous emoji, just like last time. jungkook thought it was kind of cute. he stopped the thought before it would expand any further though, reminding himself that he still doesn't know park jimin the 2nd and what kind of person he is.

but that was not the main concern here. because park jimin the 2nd had just asked to be his friend. this doesn't happen on a daily basis for him - people usually find him intimidating and they're scared off by his cold expression.

jungkook decides this would be the time to throw away all his values for the past eighteen years and replied.

[txt: i'd love to! but are you sure?]

oh no, he asked if he was sure. now park jimin the 2nd is going to question himself and have second thoughts. maybe now he'll really think it was a bad idea and actually block jungkook without answering his question. and the second mistake was the fact that he told park jimin the 2nd that he'd love to be his friend, how desperate of him.

the reply comes a little faster than jungkook had expected and would have liked (because he's totally not prepared for the possible rejection!!).

[txt: of course!]

jungkook stares at the screen for the next eight seconds until jimin's face disappeared.

for some odd  reason, he's got warm fluffy feels in his stomach now. he needs to ask jimin noona or yoongi hyung about this. is that supposed to happen when he makes a new friend?

 

Notes:

triple! update! when! will! i! find! my! chill!

i'm having so much fun writing this and making edits tho lolol pls don't mind me

Chapter 4: where jungkook (and others) are concerned for his wellbeing

Summary:

jungkook is questioning his life and his singing partner isn't the most helpful person

on the seventh day of jungkook's adventure of becoming park jimin the 2nd's friend, he and park jimin from his music class had settled on the final decision of what song they were going to perform.

they were going to sing 'some by junggigo featuring soyou' with their own twist, which was to turn it into a slow song rather than its original pop sound. the act would include jimin playing the guitar (because jungkook struggles with any musical instruments) while jungkook would revise the lyrics and the both would sing.

they were currently in the auditorium, using the opportunity of staying after school and the fact that the theater people won't start their stuff until the music kids were down with their showcase.

jungkook could barely believe that he and park jimin the 2nd have been talking for the past week. time does fly when he's having too much fun talking (more like teasing) a kid who's older than him - and apparently two years older, like honestly he looks like he's going to graduate high school this year.

 

"turn off the phone, jeon. you missed your cue again," jimin says into the microphone with a stern voice from the other end of the stage.

park jimin the 2nd had just sent a reply, great timing. but then again, he shouldn't have said hi to the older boy right before rehearsals began, knowing he wouldn't be able to touch his phone until the end of it.

his singing partner spoke again. "i know you're excited about making a new friend, but i'm excited to end rehearsals and maybe pass this class."

the younger boy let out a small sigh, cautious of jimin hearing it because she'll probably make another comment. "no worries, it'll go away soon."

 

fifteen minutes into rehearsals, jimin calls for a break. she wanted fresh air and jungkook to get rid of whatever that's distracting him. ("the next time it happens, i will not hesitate to walk across stage just to take out the batteries." "noona, it's an iPhone, you can't do that." "jeon.")

jungkook scrambles to open the snapchat when jimin finally walks out of the auditorium. his hands are shaking, he doesn't know why nor does he let it bother him at the moment. 

one week in and jungkook's got himself a nickname. the angel emojis stopped his heart. shouldn't jungkook be the one to greet him with angel emojis instead?

tattletale on people - jungkook's good at that. jimin replied within minutes.

jungkook told park jimin the 2nd about their project a couple of days ago. he just conveniently forgot to tell him that their rehearsal was today.

a closeup shot of park jimin the 2nd? he was not ready for that. jungkook mentally told him to back off. 

yeah, a little stressed about their performance. a lot more stressed about park jimin the 2nd making his phone go off way too often; and that was a concern for the both of them. park jimin the 2nd appeared in his notifications not too long after his reply. and then a second one came in.

jungkook laughed. the boy was probably trying to ease the tension with the second snapchat. and he definitely did. because when his noona walked back into the auditorium, he tells her that "park jimin the 2nd says hi" and that made her chuckle. and that was the first (probably last too) happy sound that came out of jimin's mouth that evening.

they went back to practice with a little less nerves than before.

 

"you want me to...diagnose you?" park jimin from music class looks up from the sheets of music in front of her, they were on another break before the final session of rehearsals for the day.

jungkook gulped down a mouthful of water, the liquid cooling down his throat. 

"yeah, i think i'm dying. my stomach feels like there's a hand down there, tickling it. then i can't swallow, my heart pounds in my chest like it wants to escape, and sometimes i'd forget how to breathe." he frowns, hand placed at the center of his chest, rubbing it as if he'd just been hit.

jimin stares back at the boy, not knowing how to respond. he continues telling her his symptoms. "my hands turn clammy too, it's gross. i really don't enjoy this friend-making business. how do i stop this?"

"oh my god, jeon. you're killing me with your delusional mind." jimin rolls her eyes, turning back to her music, but her attention remains on him. "if you're really concern, then i'll give you my best bet. you think your new friend is cute and you probably want to date them."

"what the fuck, noona? i barely know him" there is absolutely no real chance he wants to date park jimin the 2nd. sure, the guy is cute, he won't deny that he's wanted to squeeze his cheeks since the moment his eyes laid on them, but there's a fine line between wanting to squish someone's cheeks and dating them.

"but from the looks of it, you're getting to know him and soon enough, you're gonna run up to me and tell how about your first date." jimin is now grabbing the guitar she'd set down a couple of minutes ago and began picking at the strings. 

jungkook doesn't know how to respond. he really needs his yoongi hyung now. but on second thought, would yoongi hyung understand the crisis he's going through right now? the older boy was never into philosophy and deep shit people would tell each other for comfort. he was the most straightforward guy, speaking from his mind without filters.

but oh well, it's worth a try. maybe yoongi hyung will tell him that he's just nervous about making a new friend. and that his symptoms and thinking park jimin the 2nd is cute and squishable was just a totally normal phase he's going through.

Notes:

oh my lord. i spent my night editing pictures.

ok ok legit found a video of some guy doing jimin's hair (he dried his hair and then fluffed it up, 11/10 would recommend watching) and i paused every second to see if it was good enough to screenshot.

the things i do for fanfictions, man :'))

 

(also did i mention that while writing the four chapters today, i listened to the whole bts and red velvet discography? i'm such trash k bye)

Chapter 5: where jungkook is totally not overthinking (at all)

Summary:

jungkook realizes something for the first time in his life. and maybe yoongi is really right about this.

min yoongi teased him when he came to him for advice. the older boy never did this. he didn't come as close to cracking a joke with him ever since they've met. and now he's sitting across from him, sipping his iced tea with a pen in hand and crumbled paper in front of him.

"jeon jungkook makes a friend and seven days later.." yoongi makes a dramatic pause. "falls in love with the kid. damn, how'd he work his magic around your cold heart?"

jungkook mentally cried. "hyung, i'm dying and you're enjoying it way too much."

"you're not dying, your heart is because it's falling for this random kid you met on snapchat, over and over again. imagine the pain it's going through." 

"sounds like something you'd rap about"

"do i have your permission to use your life struggles as inspiration?"

"oh my god hyung, i came here for help." jungkook pouts. yoongi simply rolled his eyes. 

"jungkook, you should know how i would respond"

"oh yeah, waiting it out isn't going to help this situation." 

"what's the real probably here? are you really dying? no. are you developing feelings for someone for the first time and you don't know what to do? yes. there, jungkook, i solved all your life problems like you wanted. and now if you say otherwise, you're just in denial." that's the most yoongi has ever spoken today, and maybe any other times where jungkook comes with a problem for yoongi to shrug off. the younger boy is speechless now, staring back at yoongi who breaks the contact and returns to scribbling on the crumble paper.

 

it's strange. because after yoongi hyung had left him behind at the coffee shop, he remained seated in the same spot at the coffee shop and began fidgeting with anything that's in sight. he doesn't know why he's nervous. maybe because he's now left to his own thoughts and he's...scared. in the time span of his eighteen years, he's never questioned his own feelings. he's never anticipated for something to happen so much. but he doesn't know what. he doesn't know what he wants.

and what's even more strange is that he's grown a habit of glancing down at his phone every second, as if park jimin the 2nd was going to pop in his notifications and start a casual conversation, as if they weren't avoiding each other for a couple of days. their last talk was two days ago, when jimin wished him good luck during rehearsals. and then when he got home, he was expecting something to come, but got nothing in return.

so maybe he does want park jimin the 2nd to give him his attention. maybe he does want the friendship he's offered but seem to have forgotten. maybe he's being melodramatic because not talking for two days isn't that big of a deal, but he still doesn't know why he is so attached to this boy he barely knew.

 

jungkook leaves an hour later, after finishing his second cup of hazelnut macchiato and learning that yoongi hyung might have been right. his symptoms were probably just his heart beating itself up for not being able to admit that he does have some type of feelings towards park jimin the 2nd. maybe he's scared because his feelings are growing for park jimin the 2nd, and it's not even the friendly ones. maybe he's scared because he's never done this before, he was never interested in looking in people and feeling like he wants to date them. maybe he's scared because this was all new, but he'll still hang on to whatever kind of friendship they have right now.

park jimin the 2nd is probably busy with dance practice and his own life. he'll just wait a little longer for another sign.

 

it's 2am when jungkook accidentally stumble upon park jimin the 2nd's instagram. this day was not going well for him. now he's stuck on the page, looking through his feed and realizing that the past few days, park jimin the 2nd was stuck busy with his best friend. and no, he's totally not jealous. and no, he did not try to memorize his username because he's obviously not going to follow him in the middle of the night. it would be hard to explain how the hell he found park jimin the 2nd's account, anyways. (because he really doesn't know.)

is this what park jimin the 2nd's genuine smile looks like? he really should show it more often. jungkook sighs, he's lost count of how many times he's done that today. this whole 'having feelings for another person' thing has really gotten him messed up. and maybe he really does the sleep tonight.

he turns off his phone, but not after closing the instagram app, just in case he does something stupid when he's half asleep the next morning. 

 

!tiny bonus part! (this is a throwback)

jungkook and park jimin the 2nd have been talking every day now, and every other day included jungkook's random teasing and flirting, and sometimes jimin would retort back something sassy. 

they've been talking about something, he really can't keep up. park jimin the 2nd is at his dance practice when he decides to start a conversation. and they've kept it going for a while.

the picture is hot. jimin is hot. but jungkook won't cave in that easily nor will he ever admit it out loud to another human being. so he teases the older boy.

park jimin the 2nd did not reply until four hours later though. jungkook assumes he's too busy after dance or was caught up in another one of his night lectures.

the boy is...fluffy? jungkook doesn't know. all he knows is that it was very rude of park jimin the 2nd to suddenly send him something like that just when he's about to sleep.

the first time jungkook calls someone cute. the first time jungkook has an internet friend (is that what they're called these days?). the first time jungkook will admit that his values are out of the door and he'd say anything to park jimin the 2nd just to get him to send more fluffy photos.

Notes:

this chapter probably sucked bc i messed up and closed the tab in the middle of typing :-)))) (cause i was editing another chapter and i thought it was that instead lololol fml)

ALSO!!! thank you so much for over 800 hits in a day...and the 60+ kudos!!! be sure to leave comments, i'd love to hear what you all have to say!
see y'all in the next update ~ ⊂((・▽・))⊃

Chapter 6: where jungkook is flustered

Summary:

jungkook is brave for once in his life.

 

warning: a lot of dialogues. like i had WAY too much fun with this chapter.

the two days suddenly turned into a week. and then a couple of days past that. it's a week before jungkook and jimin noona's showcase. they've got everything down, so the both decided to just rest for the remaining days of the week and rehearse for the final time on friday morning.

it's monday night. jungkook has been lying around the for the past three hours with nothing to do. he was watching one of his animes, but got bored. he then got the idea of going to the studio, but realized that it was probably occupied; monday night was always the busiest.

in the times of showcase preparation and all that's in between, they haven't talked to each other. like at all. if opening each other's stories on snapchat counted as talking, then that was it. now if park jimin the 2nd was still interested, he was obviously not showing it.

so somewhere along the lines of jungkook being bored, he decided to announce it to his snapchat friends list. and of course, he then checked up on everyone else's lives. when the name parkminnniie came into view, he hesitated, but tapped on it anyways.

it was singing videos, one of his friends dancing this time, and then a streak of selcas.

jungkook might have stared at the picture a little too long. and he'll deny it by saying that it was the sudden change of hair color that made his eyes linger a little longer than it should have. 

and so he has come to conclusion with one thing. once again, he was going to throw away his pride in trade for park jimin the 2nd's friendship as he double taps on his name to send a reply.

well, it's now or never. especially considering how desperate jungkook has been to get a word or two from jimin, he's got nothing to lose. the reply didn't take too long to come. and the butterflies in his stomach decided to hang around just to annoy jungkook.

...well, at least he remembers that much. jungkook opens the chat option instead, he'd rather type out words than reply in pictures right now. it's 9pm, he's not about to spend the next hour or two fixing his hair and finding the right angle just to talk to park jimin the 2nd. just because he's desperate, doesn't mean his laziness is suddenly gone. 

parkjiminnniie

me

| it really has been a while

| how have you been?

jiminnniie

| for the past few days? i've pulled multiple all nighters and have suffered through caffeine rushes. they're not good combos. 

me

| haha, i can't imagine.

| so...i know this is weird of me to ask but...what haven't you talked to me for the past week? i know you're busy but wasn't there at least a time where you're free?

jiminnniie

| jungkook ah, it's hard to explain. and i don't think i'm ready to tell you that yet.

me

| why not?

jiminnniie

| we don't know anything about each other

me

| so that's your excuse to hold back? isn't this the stage in a friendship where you start getting to know each other and learn about the other person?

jiminnniie

| yeah, but i'm not fully ready to open up. sorry..

 

 

jungkook is getting anxious, this doesn't happen a lot but it's been happening way too often ever since park jimin the 2nd steeped into his life. he didn't expect the conversation to turn into this.

"call me" he types then sends his number to the boy, not bothering to look back and shuts off his phone. he then sits and stares at the blank wall ahead, waiting for the phone to ring.

it did minutes later and when he picks up, there's soft breathing in the background. 

"hey, what's up?" jungkook tried his best not to stutter, in which there was a round of applause in the back of his head that went off as he successful did just that.

"well, you wanted me to call you, so what's up with you?" jimin talks back. his voice is small and it sounds sweet. he forgets that this is the first time they've ever spoken over the phone, the first time he's hearing jimin's voice. and he likes the sound of it (and honestly wouldn't mind it being the thing that puts him to sleep every night).

"i don't know, you're too frustrating to talk to over snapchat text," jungkook admits.

"how?" he can hear a sudden tone of self consciousness in jimin's voice.

"never mind that, i can hear your voice now...i like it" jungkook smiles. he's teasing again, and he knows. the time is not very appropriate too, but oh well.

he just didn't know it made park jimin the 2nd feel so insecure, until the older boy finally brings it up. "see, this is what i was talking about."

"what?"

"you. flirting. saying things that make me blush. we barely know each other. we've only talked for two weeks." jimin sounds upset now. jungkook is frowning at the change.

"one week. you skipped out on this week. that was rude" jungkook says. but now he's at a pause, finally realizing what park jimin the 2nd had just told him. he quickly picks up from where he's left off. "and i'm sorry for the confusion. i know we barely know each other. but hey, that's what dating is for right?" okay, that was bold. calm the fuck down, jungkook tells himself.

"what are you talking about?" there's panic in the air now. and in jimin's voice.

"what?"

"are you asking me out?" park jimin the 2nd sounded like he was going to fucking giggle.

"no, are you?" jungkook teased back. he gets the small laugh from jimin and he gladly pats himself in the back. "haha, kidding. i really do like you though."

this is the first and last time he's ever going to be that straightforward.

"whoa, jungkook." park jimin the 2nd sounded flustered, and jungkook likes that. "...but i do kind of like you too."

"okay, well now i'm asking you out." jungkook said, and park jimin the 2nd is giggling again on the other line.

"there's a quite large distance between us right now, so let's hold off on that first date. but i'm going to say yes." park jimin the 2nd answered back.

what the actual fuck just happened? park jimin the 2nd just said he'd go on a date with jeon jungkook.

jungkook surprisingly kept his composure well for the next hour where his phone conversation with park jimin the 2nd continued. but unfortunately, the older boy had to hang up early to go to dance practice with his friend. 

"i'll talk to you later, kookie" park jimin the 2nd said softly on the phone, using the same tone from when he first picked up.

"don't forget about me" jungkook teased back before the line was cut. 

he's sitting on his bed now, in the same position as he was before the conversation start. who knew, that breaking a week's worth of silence between him and park jimin the 2nd would end in him scoring a date with the older boy.

and he's not going to complain.

and he's going to run to park jimin from his music class tomorrow and tell her that she was right, and that he can't wait to tell her all about the details of their first date. 

Notes:

i tried out a new layout, rather than editing the snapchat text part. hope you enjoyed this.

i'm super duper excited for the rest of the story, hope you are too! :D

Chapter 7: where jungkook has to meet someone new

Summary:

adventures with jungkook and his friends.

with only one night before the showcase, jungkook decided to do something fun to ease up some nerves of the night before. plus, this would be the first time he's gone out with friends this week. 

thus jungkook created a splendid plan for thursday night on the day of it. he's invited his two hyungs to come explore downtown with him, and then maybe stop by the studio at night and just hang out, like they usually would when the seniors have a new song to show him. and apparently namjoon is bringing one of his other friends, and jungkook told him he doesn't mind because now he's on a spree of meeting people. 

and so when thursday finally rolls around, he's excited. jimin noona told him to not have too much fun because he might lose his voice, but he shrugged off the advice; he's not going to go downtown and scream his head off or something. 

yoongi hyung called him when his lecture has ended. "i'm at by the gates, come out when you're ready which you should be because i'm not going to wait any longer than 20 minutes."

jungkook laughs into the phone and he's pretty sure yoongi hyung is now scowling at him. "i'm all ready, running there now." 

"hurry, namjoon said he's on his way with his friend. he took the car to go pick him up, apparently he's spending the night there." 

 

yoongi is dressed in his usual clothes; a simple tshirt with a hoodie over to protect him from the cold, a beanie and some skinny jeans. jungkook gives him a small smile and waves, in which yoongi lazily returns. 

"they're about five minutes away," he tells the younger boy. now they're both leaning against the concrete post which waiting for the rest of the group. the wait felt longer than just five minutes, but the other two boys finally arrived.

"sorry, we got caught in traffic because seokjin hyung kept wanting me to drive at the exact speed limit." namjoon says as they both get out of the car. his hair was a mess, in which he quickly grabbed a black beanie from the car to fix it. the oldest boy finally came out of the car, he gives a friendly smile to yoongi and jungkook. 

"hey yoongi, i haven't seen you in a while," seokjin is now walking towards them, with namjoon close behind. "and you must be jungkook, i was told that i'd be seeing a new face today." and the older boy proceeds to take out his hand from his pocket and reached forward. jungkook shyly takes it and the both shook hands.

"hi. nice to meet you, seokjin hyung." 

"same." the older boy pats his head and finally turns to the rappers. "so, what's the plan today?" 

"i really want to go get bubble tea, there's a shop nearby..." jungkook blurts out. all eyes landed on him and yoongi shrugged.

"we can go there. it's cold, i can't stand here any longer." 

but then seokjin hyung pouted, and jungkook is curious of the reason. "i'm kind of in the mood for ice cream though."

namjoon frowns. "hyung, i told you. it's freezing, not a good idea for ice cream in this weather." 

"it's not that cold. your fault for just wearing a tshirt." seokjin rolled his eyes. 

the boy sighs in defeat. "how about we get boba for jungkook now, and then get ice cream on the way back?"

they all nodded, finally agreeing to something.

 

so they proceed to wander downtown for most part of the evening, stopping at random stores as seokjin pointed out random things and asking if jungkook wanted anything, which he shyly denied. 

before heading to the studio, the boys stopped at the nearby ice cream parlor as promised by namjoon earlier. jungkook was assigned to get the ice cream for his hyungs, but such task does not come without a price. he demanded seokjin hyung to dance for him because after all, he was the one who wanted ice cream.

"you brat, i didn't ask you to do anything when we went to get boba for you." seokjin playfully pushed him away.

jungkook wriggled his eyebrows. "yeah, because we barely knew each other an hour ago."

"so now you take advantage of my niceness?" seokjin asked, pretending to be shocked from the revelation. jungkook shrugged and crossed his arms, showing that he was waiting for seokjin hyung to dance. the older boy rolled his eyes, the other two were watching with too much amusement written on their faces. 

"what song?"

"uh..." jungkook thinks for a while. "how about red velvet? we're getting ice cream anyways, it makes sense."

oh the things kim seokjin would do for ice cream. so he danced for his three friends and the strangers that were walking past them. namjoon was dying of laughter and yoongi gave a small smile at his flimsy moves. 

after seokjin finished dancing the chorus, they all went inside the parlor. namjoon and yoongi got seated while jungkook went to get their ice cream, with seokjin hyung following behind him, claiming that he doesn't trust him with their orders.

jungkook smirked at the older boy, purposely handing him the wrong cone before laughing and giving him the correct one. seokjin pulls out his phone and took a quick photo.

"hey hyung!! that's mean," jungkook pouts when he leans over to read the caption of seokjin's snap. 

"says you." the older boy retorted before posting it to his story. jungkook noticed that park jimin the 2nd was one of his best friends, but doesn't mention it. the topic of park jimin the 2nd can wait to be discuss on another day.

 

the studio is warm, a little too warm actually. someone must have been really cold this morning and forgot to turn down the heater before they left. the boys are sitting on the floor, talking about random topics when jungkook sneaked a photo, but failed as he got caught by yoongi. 

"hey, put that away."

seokjin looked up. "wait, let's take a picture together!!" 

"i'll take a picture of you guys, i'm not very photogenic right now" was jungkook's excuse to not be in the photo. seokjin rolled his eyes, but grabbed the two boys beside him and pulled them closer.

and so the boys blasted their music, taking turns to pick songs and singing their lungs out. jungkook kept jimin noona's reminder at the back of his mind, and he really did try to not strain his voice. but he was also trying to take granted of this moment because his friends are graduating this year and he wants to spend as much time with them as possible. (as if seeing yoongi hyung almost every day and namjoon every weekend wasn't enough. (it wasn't.))

he was really glad to have met seokjin hyung today. they exchanged numbers and snapchats before seokjin and namjoon had to leave.

"hey, good luck tomorrow. we'll be there, but we won't see you until after your performance. just wanted to tell you before you get on stage tomorrow" namjoon says, patting jungkook on the back.

the younger grins. "thanks hyung, i'll see you tomorrow."

the group broke up, with namjoon and seokjin heading home which left yoongi and jungkook. they both walked back to the dorms. 

"how's your friendship with that random boy going?" yoongi asked out of the blue. this doesn't happen very often - the thing with yoongi poking into other people's business.

jungkook tried to bite back a smile but obviously failing. "it's good. i think you're right about what you told me last time."

yoongi chuckled, grabbing jungkook's shoulder and giving the younger a gentle push. "of course, i'm always right." 

 

jungkook's story:

 

 

!bonus!: kim seokjin the photobomb

 

 

Notes:

oh man holy shit how did i get 100+ kudos in one day??!?!?! !! (⊃ Д)⊃≡ﾟ ﾟ

hope you guys like this??
oh and side note: all the pictures with the text were also part of jungkook's snapchat story :-)
side note 2.0: the instagram likes... you can either pretend they're really popular or they're random numbers. i honestly don't even know myself.

...you know, sometimes i wonder what bts would do if they had a snapchat

Chapter 8: where jungkook didn't mess up his performance

he doesn't remember getting through his daily routine and nighttime arriving but here they are now, at the backstage of their auditorium and they are the fifth performers. jimin noona was early again with jungkook just running in as the show has started because he might have woken up from a nap with only 20 minutes to get ready. she doesn't look impressed with everything that's happened so far but then again, it's probably just nerves and she wants to get this over with as much as he does. 

"sorry, i didn't hear my alarm go off" jungkook says apologetically and jimin simply nods. 

"well, you missed the teacher reading off the names. we're after baekhyun and jongdae." she's getting her guitar out of its case now, checking to see if it's in tune. jungkook grabs his music folder and began flipping through to find the lyrics he's rewritten the week before. it wasn't a lot of changes, just a couple of words here and there so he can throw out the fact that he did participate in the assignment and show the teacher he's kind of a decent lyricist.

just then, his phone vibrated. now if this was any other time, like maybe during an intense session of rehearsals, jimin noona would have turned her head and glared at him until the phone was put away. but right now she was too immersed in tuning the guitar, jungkook assumed that was her way to cope with the anxiety in the air at the moment, and she probably wouldn't care what he's doing right now. so he proceeds to grab the phone out of his pocket, turn down the brightness to about half way, and reads to see that park jimin the 2nd had just sent him a message. 

oh here comes the butterflies and other things that are partying up in his stomach the moment he sees the boy's name. 

park jimin the second: hey jungkookie~ sorry i can't come to see you perform today, exam preparations is such a hassleㅠㅡㅠ. good luck though, i know you'll be amazing!! tell me how it goes later :)

he's so cute. how is jungkook supposed to reply? this is why he doesn't text people - thinking of a reply is way too much work. but the adrenaline is pumping through him right now, and he's just going to let his fingers do the work.

me:  ahh, thank you hyung. i'm nervous but we're going up soon, so i guess i'm relieved about that. good luck with your studies too~ i'll call you later.

okay, that wasn't part of the original plan but it's already too late to take back the text message. jungkook didn't have to wait too long to reply.

park jimin the 2nd: alright, i'll be waiting!!

this kid is too excited, but it calmed jungkook down a bit. now he's ready to get on stage and sing his heart out. jimin noona was now fixing her hat, guitar right by her side and the music stand not too far away from where she stood. they both make eye contact, nodding their heads and exchanged encouraging smiles. sure, jimin was a bit harsh during their practice time, but jungkook was glad she got him to pull his shit together. sometimes he'd forget that this was their final assignment, that they're being graded on. then he thinks of the trip, they both deserve it, so they're going to try their best for it.

the whole auditorium is dark, and jungkook is careful to not trip over the wires when they first step onto the stage. you can't see the audience very well because of the blinding spotlights. jungkook didn't mind though, it's just going to help him imagine that he's singing to an empty room. they both make eye contact for the last time before going to their prospective spots on stage. both sat down and jimin whispered a countdown. 3, 2, 1 and the picking of guitar strings filled the room and jungkook began singing.

 

"that was so amazing!! i never knew you could sing like that, good job" seokjin ran to scoop the boy into his arms and jungkook was caught between surprise and pleased that at least one person didn't totally hate his performance. okay, he was exaggerating because the audience quite enjoyed their duet and even the professor stood up to clap (she struggled with her clipboard and all, but it's okay). 

yoongi hyung grabs his shoulder and pulled him close. well this was a first.

"that was impressive, good job" the comment makes the younger boy smile and he mumbled a thank you. they returned to their seats after jungkook returns to greet jimin, they both high fived and jimin noona ruffled his hair, telling him that was she proud of how it went. 

"see you when they announce us as winners," jungkook jokes, sending her a playful wink. she laughs and exits the room. 

the rest of the night went by slow and jungkook was just really sleepy. he honestly did not expect it to go on for this long. he wanted to go home and cuddle into his bed and sleep for the rest of the weekend. but instead, he's here watching more duets and solos. why did they have to sing such sad, slow songs? he yawned for the 50th time that night.

finally, their professor stands up front, close to the edge of the stage. jungkook hopes she doesn't stand too close and fall off or something. she cleared her throat into the microphone before looking down at her clipboard and back at her students and the audience. 

"this night has been wonderful. i would like to thank each and every one of you for putting on a great show. i would like to say that i am quite impress with some of you tonight, bringing something that i couldn't imagine that you have spent a month doing yourself - the way you performed showed it would at least take the average person double the amount of time to do something you've done in such a limited amount of time. now, this was not only an assignment, but a competition so i know some of you might have been nervous, and not done your best. but i want to say that everything you have done tonight had exceeded my expectations. i could not have been more happier to see that in such a short semester, you've improved so much and have grown as performers. so thank you." she paused her speech, letting the applause quiet down. "now for the moment you all have been looking forward to since the beginning of the night. the winner of tonight's show..."

jungkook's heart is pounding. he tries to look for jimin but couldn't spot her in the crowd of darkness. namjoon hyung pats his hand lightly, calming down the boy.

"congratulations to jeon jungkook and park jimin with their duet 'some'!" applauds and cheers broke jungkook's search for his singing partner and yoongi hyung who was sitting on the other side of him, nudged his arm and pointed to the stage. 

"go on, she'll be there."

he waits for a few more seconds, for a sign for his noona standing up. but oh well, he'll just take his time up there. the younger boy stands up, his hands shaking out of nerves and excitement. they actually won? he was joking about what he'd said backstage, but honestly? this was something he wasn't even thinking about, the thought was just at the moment when the assignment was announced but after speaking to park jimin the 2nd, the competition was way behind him.

jimin steps onto stage just as he did and they grinned at one another. after shaking the professor's hand and receiving bouquets of flowers from their principal and vice principal, they stepped behind the microphone and improvised their 'thank you' speech.

"uh, this semester has been a rocky one. being a freshman in a group of upperclassmen, i was really nervous about how i should fit in. but i'm really glad that the group was friendly and we were all treated as family members. thank you, professor kim for this. and of course, principal jung for the grand prize. we will enjoy our vacation and come back safely." jungkook finished his speech and the crowd clapped once again. he was about to hand the mic to jimin noona when she shakes her head, indicating that she didn't want to speak. the both bowed and quickly got off stage. 

"your price will be handed during finals," professor kim whispers to the both. "wouldn't want you guys to lose the tickets or anything. not that i don't trust you, but just in case." she smiles and pat their backs.

 

"let's go out for a celebratory dinner, my treat" namjoon says as the group once again reunited after jungkook's tiny photo session.

"sorry" jimin frowns at the boys. "i already made plans with my friends. but i'll buy you lunch on monday, jeon." she gives the boy a small smile, which he returns and nod before she parted to be with her friends. 

"let's go then!" 

and they spent the night at the restaurant near their dorms. namjoon hyung took the car again to drive seokjin hyung home and the two left behind continued to tease him until he's disappeared out the door.

"well, it's just us two again. let's get going." yoongi says and jungkook grabbed the flowers with him and they both headed back to the dorms.

 

he's too exhausted to think now. and the thought of calling park jimin the 2nd is buried somewhere in the back of his mind. his bed looked way too comfortable and so he crashed there the moment he got to his room, not bothering to shower or at least change out of his clothes, that can be done tomorrow. 

Notes:

"i will sleep here with jimin hyung" - a beautiful quote said by jeon jungkook

I'M SO GLAD I SOLD MY SOUL TO THIS SHIP

(i'm so sleep and it's like 3pm lmao. sorry this chapter sucked. i was just typing random stuff. fillers suck. but look forward to future stuffs. okay byeeee (。-ω-)zzz )

Chapter 9: where jungkook doesn't know there's even more human beings to meet

Summary:

kim taehyung is scary. like super overprotective scary.

the ringtone of an incoming facetime call became his alarm the next morning. jungkook's hand scrambled around the bed to search for his phone - it ended up being in the front pocket of the jacket he set by his bed the night before. 

park jimin the 2nd is calling him.

because he totally did not do that last night. even though it was initially his idea. and it's on facetime. it's barely 8 in the morning and jungkook is already stressed out. should he give a fuck about his appearance and ignore the call while he goes to get ready, and then call park jimin the 2nd back? or should he answer now, because ignoring park jimin the 2nd again was just going to make him more guilty.

he decides to pick up.

apparently the older boy is in bed as well. but he looks a little more awake and cleaned up, unlike jungkook's current state.

"you didn't call me last night" his voice echoed through the phone's speakers. park jimin the 2nd is now pouting. and it's the cutest thing that's happened to him this morning.

"sorry, i got caught up with stuff" jungkook is rubbing his eyes, trying to get rid of the burning sensation of being exposed to the sudden brightness. 

"so, how'd it go?" his voice is excited, he's really curious. 

"we won?" it came out as more of a question. "so like, really good. namjoon treated the four of us to dinner, that's why i came home late and just crashed. sorry again."

"oh my god! no way!!" jimin is close to screaming now. the fact that he's more excited and happy for jungkook than himself, makes jungkook's heart melt. 

the door behind the boy suddenly opens and there's two other boys staring inside. "jimin are you okay? we just heard yelling" 

"oh, i'm just talking to jungkookie"

"the jungkookie?" one of the boys asked. his voice is deep and jungkook realized that he's the one that's in like 80 percent of jimin's snapchat story.

"yeah" uh.. was he known amongst jimin's friends? the two boys suddenly ran to the bed and joined jimin's side, their facetime call suddenly became jungkook meeting jimin's friends.

"hey, you're yoongi's freshman friend!" one of the boys pointed out. he stares back at the camera with a blank expression but nodded his head nonetheless. 

"uh yeah, i guess?" he questions.

"i'm hoseok, yoongi and i write songs and rap them together sometimes. maybe back in his sophomore year? i was a freshman at that time, i visited the university and we met." hoseok smiled. so he's older than jungkook, of course. 

"and then you ended up not going to the university" jimin laughed and hoseok rolled his eyes. 

"at least i made a new friend there, just in case" teased hoseok. "so back to jungkookie, this is the first time we've talked to each other."

jungkook nods with a small smile. "yeah, i watch your stories almost everyday. sorry, for some reason it took a while to recognize your face through this" 

"anyways, so you asked out my best friend and he didn't tell me until like last night when i saw him sulking by his phone." the boy on jimin's left side spoke. 

"taehyung, shut up, that's not why i called him." jimin's face is now buried in the blanket and his voice is muffled. 

"well you're calling him now because he didn't last night." taehyung says.

"and you're making him feel more guilty," jimin's face is still hidden.

jungkook frowns. "i already explained myself. and i don't even know you." the last part he mumbled to himself because taehyung looks like he's about to tell jungkook to 'square up' and jungkook doesn't want to fight anyone this early on a saturday morning, but apparently the boy heard him on the other line.

and taehyung was about to start a glaring contest when hoseok decided to break it up.

"so when's that date gonna happen?" he raised an eyebrow at the younger boy. jimin is peeking from the blanket, and he's staring at the camera now. 

jungkook is growing more nervous. he's scratches the back of his neck with one finger and shrugged. "i can't during winter break, not anymore."

jimin is finally speaking to him again as he lifts up his head after hearing what jungkook had said. "wait, is that when your trip is?" 

"yeah, during my two weeks of winter break." the mood is sad now, jungkook doesn't like it at all.

"ah, i was going to visit busan anyways, uh it's fine" park jimin the 2nd puts on a small smile for him and taehyung turns to his best friend with a questioning look.

"you were?" taehyung questioned and jimin nodded.

"sorry, we'll figure something out soon?"

taehyung lets out a dramatic sigh. "guess we'll need to have a very serious conversation later.." jungkook doesn't know who he was talking to, but he brushed it off.

 

the call ended after more rambling and hoseok stopping taehyung from calling jungkook out for random things. ten minutes later, he gets a friend request from taehyung. jungkook rolled his eyes, tapping on the plus sign by his username before getting out of his bed to do some productive on his saturday. (probably going to mentally prepare himself for whatever taehyung was going to attack him with. park jimin the 2nd has scary friends, jungkook concludes. and kim taehyung is the scariest of them all.)

Notes:

idk what i just wrote. i feel so hopeless rn ha ha ha wheres hoseok when u need him

i promise there will be snaps and stuff next chapter. fillers. fillers. fillers.
o(￣ー￣；)

oh and the thing with hoseok. so basically, he's friends with jk on snapchat but they don't go to the same school. so they kinda know each other but not that well, only through yoongi. the facetime call was basically their first time formally 'meeting' each other. okay cool, glad i established that bc the chapter would have been hella confusing lols

Chapter 10: where jungkook gets sent off to the airport by weirdos

Notes:

i can't believe i wrote over 10k words i can't believe i wrote over 10k words i can't believe i wrote over 10k words i can't believe i wrote over 10k words i can't believe i wrote over 10k words i can't believe i wrote over 10k words i can't believe i wrote over 10k words i can't believe i wrote over 10k words

jungkook was packing for his trip. at the last minute. he's supposed to be at the airport in approximately 4 hours and he's scrambling around the dorm to find everything he think he'll needs in the next two weeks that he's going to be away.

this is why he doesn't travel. it's too much thinking and the only thing he's packed so far are enough change of white t shirts, ripped blue jeans, and his camera. 

 

! the night before - yoonseok's small discussion about jeon's trip !

 

yoongi is not mean, he's just honest.

 

"still, maybe next time we can set up something for those two." yoongi turns to hoseok, who's posing for more snaps to post on his story.

the younger boy nods. "it's sad how jiminnie doesn't get to send jungkook to the airport. i'll make sure to spam him tomorrow morning" and that made yoongi laugh, shaking his head and mumbled an 'of course you will' under his breath. 

 

park jimin's phone went off when he was in the middle of his literature lecture. it's his first class and the professor was not in a good mood this morning. he turned and glared at the young boy before going back to reading the passage to the class. jimin cursed underneath his breath, he'd totally forgotten to turn off his ringtone this morning. 

pulling the device out of his pocket, he noticed a stream of notifications from no one other than hoseok hyung.

he taps on the boy's username. the first one was half an hour ago, he's surprised that they've just started flooding in now.

 

and the next few were scenic photos as they are on their way to the airport. and a video of jungkook(?) and hoseok obnoxiously singing along to song on the radio, and yoongi hyung in the front seat with his beanie pulled all the way down to his nose.

who allowed hoseok to take jungkook to the airport again?

once they've arrived, hoseok is running around and taking candid pictures of jungkook waiting for his singing partner before the both went to check in. yoongi is just patiently tapping his foot on the side, texting namjoon once in a while to catch him up on what they were currently doing.

and then there's a couple of snaps from yoongi hyung, which was rare because he doesn't really use snapchat as much as the rest of the group.

 

jimin laughed at this one, he didn't really expect that from someone like jungkook but he wasn't surprised.

 

jimin was finally able to reply when his professor stopped talking and set them free for the remainder of class time. he sends yoongi and hoseok the same picture in respond to their spam.

 

and it takes another twenty minutes for him to receive a reply from hoseok hyung.

 

whoops, can't wait to hear all about his adventure.

 

jimin decides to send jungkook something when he got home from his math lecture that evening. namjoon hyung was at his dorm to hang out today.

 

jimin didn't really sit around to wait for a reply, because he knows jungkook is probably off wandering the place. so he sits on the bed and put his phone on shuffle, singing along to whatever song the speakers were blasting. soon namjoon hyung puts down his phone and joined in as they began singing off tune. they danced around, took quick breaks in between as the older boy ran out of breath, and played video games until namjoon left at around midnight.

jimin doesn't receive a reply until he gets ready for bed half an hour later.

 

jungkook is being extra again, but he doesn't mind as he's going to sleep with a smile on his face.

Notes:

i swear every fanfic turns yoongi into a grumpy human bean so I turned him soft again when he sends jungkook off to the airport with hoseok lmao

Chapter 11: where jungkook is in jeju (and where he finally leaves)

Summary:

park jimin the 2nd is the prize he must fight kim taehyung to win. and jung hoseok is a blessing in jungkook's life.

Notes:

prepare for a shit ton of sns edits. you're welcome for doing this at 2am last night.

jejudo is nice, maybe not quite as nice as it would be during the summer, but it's probably a tad better than being in seoul during the month of december. 

they hang out at the beach a lot. the first night, they had a bonfire and almost camped at the beach but the tides went up and jimin said she doesn't want to drown in her sleep. jungkook joked that they still have thirteen nights to sleep on the sand and she rolled her eyes. 

 

park jimin the 2nd's snapchat story on the second night showed that he was also enjoying himself. (jungkook's night was actually way more boring as jimin noona and himself actually stayed in that night, ordered some room service, and did research on what they will be doing and where they'll be going for the next few days. there was plenty of planning throughout the night.)

he's spending the night with taehyung, which jungkook assumes was a normal occurrence between the two boys.

 

he was joking. sort of.

 

jungkook doesn't know if he should be offended by this.

 

ouch.

he was about to send a respond when jimin noona interrupts him. "hey, we gotta get up early tomorrow, so sleep soon." she leaves shortly after grabbing her things. he sighs, realizing that it was past midnight.

 

 

on the fifth day, they go to the beach again. jungkook brought out his camera and decided they should have a photoshoot. jimin tells him that she doesn't like posing for pictures, and so of course jungkook replied that obviously he was going to model. she pretends to drop the camera in the water just to scare jungkook, who totally did not run to catch it, but ended up dropping the lens cap. jungkook still freaked out but it was all good.

the photoshoot ended with some shots that he's proud to share with the instagram world.

 

 

it's wednesday night, on the same week where jungkook has to return home, where jungkook gets a notification that he was tagged in a photo on instagram. and it's park jimin the 2nd? they started following each other after the facetime call, but it's not like he's got any pictures with jungkook to post, nonetheless tag him in it? furrowing his eyebrows, he tapped on the notification and the app opened to the tagged post.

 

that was a snapchat screenshot of a picture he'd sent to jimin. but that wasn't what caught his breath. park jimin the 2nd announced that he missed him and that he was his baby.

at some point after jungkook confessed and when he packed his bags for jeju, their messages became a long record of them flirting back and forth. now, he's not complaining - he just needs to get used to it. quick. because it seems as if park jimin the 2nd has always been comfortable with the whole idea, because he's acting as if nothing has changed.

he's also kind of offended that park jimin the 2nd picked that picture out of all the other ones that he could have screenshot. like, who knows, maybe something like this?

 

but nope, he picks the one jungkook sent at 1am when he was kind of half asleep and kind of in a really good mood for some unknown reason.

and now he's reading the comments, eyeing the one taehyung had left behind, and he's getting ready to reply back.

 

okay, the second one took a lot of courage and mental pep talk to sent, but he did it anyways.

and ten minutes later, park jimin the 2nd sent him a text. a simple smiley face. and somehow that made his whole night a lot better than it already was.

 

fate was really testing them. because it's his last night at the island when jimin texts him, telling the boy that he won't be able to come to the airport to pick up him because his train from busan has been delayed, so he'll be on his way home when jungkook is as well.

no, jungkook did not complain to jimin noona about it for the rest of the night until he was kicked out of her room. and he did not sulk in the morning when they were packing to check out of the hotel and began heading to the airport.

the flight back to seoul didn't take long, but he still managed to fall asleep at the opening of some random foreign movie.

 

the first thing he sees when he walks out of the gate was jung hoseok's bright smile. it was late at night when their flight landed, but hoseok's smile was like the sun had suddenly risen again.

and then there's someone else.

someone who he sees through the screen of his phone a lot. someone who was no longer a tangerine (no, he's totally over it, promise.) but now a brunette. someone who told him that his train was delayed but now he's standing just right by jung hoseok's side. and jung hoseok is pointing right at him, smile couldn't have gotten any wider.

and park jimin noona was by his side to witness it all. she'd pulled him back for a bit, whispering in his ear, "hey, i see my family. good luck with your thing. see you next semester, jeon." and then pats his head, messing up his hair before leaving his side.

and now he's alone. about to face park fucking jimin who he was not supposed to see until who knows when their first date will be.

he's still speechless when he's pulling his luggage behind him, getting closer to the two boys ahead.

"JUNGKOOKIE! LOOK AT YOU, ALL TANNED AND DIFFERENT-LOOKING!!" hoseok quickly runs up and grabbed the handle out of his hand, helping his young friend. jungkook gives him a small smile before his eyes returned to the stranger in front of him.

their eyes meet. 

and now jungkook is trying not to scream in joy as they blinked at each other, neither with any idea of what to say. hoseok seemed to have notice, and bless his soul because he suddenly pushed them closer to each other.

"introduce yourselves, gosh i can't believe you had the balls to ask him out over the phone, but not enough to at least say hi in person." 

"hobi hyung, shut up" jimin rolled his eyes before suddenly stepping forward and fucking circling his arm around jungkook's side. "jungkookie's probably shy, it's okay."

"after all those pet names and flirting displayed over all social medias, you'd think his shells would have cracked." hoseok teased. "anyways, since the first meeting part didn't get as emotional as i thought it would be, we should get going. everyone's waiting for you at home"

"uh, home?" jungkook finally broke his own silence.

"seokjin hyung's house," jimin smiles, jungkook stole a glance and quickly returned it back to his hyung struggling with his two suitcases. 

he gives his hyung a dramatic, slow round of applause as he watched him struggle to put his two suitcases into the trunk. but hey, it's the effort that counts?

"did you bring rocks you found back home or something?" complained hoseok, pretending to have trouble breathing after all that work.

rolling his eyes, jungkook replied back, "yes all of them."

"hey jungkook, look!" jimin shouts just when they were about to get into the car, jungkook turned his head with his hands still clasped together and park jimin the 2nd's camera snaps a freaking picture of them.

"hey, i wasn't ready!"

"that was the point" jimin laughs, now typing a caption. jungkook heaves out a sigh, deciding not to care about what the older boy was going to do next and takes a seat in the back.

! park jimin the 2nd's recent story !

 

"you're a liar" jungkook says with a mouthful of crackers. hoseok took a glance at him from the driver's seat through the rear view mirror with a disgusted look on his face. jungkook ignored him. jimin lets out a laugh from the passenger seat. (yes, they left jungkook to sit in the back all by himself, how rude.) 

"what?"

"you said your train got delayed. freaking liar." jungkook mumbles, stuffing a couple more animal crackers into his mouth. it's a lion(?), zebra and some other shapes that are not very animal-looking.

"uh, they fixed the problem and i got back on time?" jimin is teasing him, so he just hums in respond. "does that mean you're not going to watch me dance this saturday since i'm a liar?"

jungkook tries to look at him through the side view mirror - it didn't work. he leans forward, almost spilling crumbs over all hoseok hyung's car, and tugged jimin's brunette locks (very gently). "thanks for the invite, i'll be there."

the car is once again filled with park jimin the 2nd's giggles.

 

!bonus! taegi's response at jimin's recent posts.

he receives a snap from yoongi hyung during his break at dance practice. the boy leans back into his chair and open it.

 

this is probably about the instagram post from the other night. and jimin is not flustered. oh no, he keeps his cool as he sends a picture back to them.

 

...and then kim taehyung might have responded a little too well when jimin posted his latest story after picking up jungkook from the airport with hoseok hyung?

 

!what, another bonus! random shit jungkook sends jimin during his trip

 

Notes:

i meant to end this differently...but i was in a good mood last night sooooo here you go?

(lowkey gonna struggle for the next update bc i know what i want to write but idk how to write it lololol rip)

ALSO PARK JIMIN IS FUCKING BLONDE, I GOTTA GO

Chapter 12: where jungkook is a sweet boy-friend

Summary:

he finally grows a pair.

saturday night comes a little faster than expected. jungkook rushed to get ready to leave with yoongi hyung that evening. no, he didn't fall asleep and lost track of time. he just spent way too long looking for an outfit and gave up midway. and then spent the next hour laying on the couch before receiving a reminder from yoongi that they were leaving in twenty.

that's where he grabbed the closest clothing items to him and just put them on. he doesn't look bad, to be honest.

 

park jimin saved jungkook a seat to his left since taehyung was already sitting on his right side.

when the younger boy arrived with yoongi hyung, jimin was happily waving from where their seats were. taehyung gives him a small smile as he took his seat, and jungkook was caught in surprise but returned it. to his left was seokjin and namjoon, in their own world, so he doesn't want to interrupt their conversation just to say a quick hi. he tries to focus on whatever jimin was talking about, but he was nervous for some odd reason. probably because it reminded him of his showcase not too long ago.

"hobi hyung and i are not up until almost the end. we got to pick and hobi wanted to go first, but i didn't want to. we picked our turn at the last minute so the last couple of spots were the only ones left." jimin was picking at the hem of his blouse.

he was wearing a light blue one, with a tiny bow tied loosely at the center of his collarbone, while hoseok hyung was wearing a similar shirt in white. they wore black jeans and black shoes.

"you'll do well" jungkook says, gently patting jimin's shoulder. the boy gives him a small smile just before the lights dimmed.

 

hoseok and jimin's names are called and the cheers erupted from the audience. jungkook was kind of confused as of what was going on (the whole stage is still dark, what is happening), but seeing his friends clap and the audience seeming to be excited for whatever that was coming, he decided to clap along as well. 

then the lights started to shine, coming from one side of the auditorium and they slowly began to merge together, meeting in the middle. and there they were; jung hoseok and park jimin. he seemed to have forgotten how to breathe during their whole performance. 

it was a contemporary dance to a foreign song.

i've been upside down, i don't wanna be the right way round, can't find paradise on the ground...

each movement is fragile. they are bent to their limits, but they are refusing to break.

watching park jimin perform on stage, watching him glow under the spotlight, was when jungkook realized how he's melted into a puddle every time he looks over at the older boy.

all i did was fail today, all i wanna be is whites in waves, all i did was fail today, all we do, all we do...

oh, but that was the opposite of what they did, because the moment their names were called at the end of the show, jungkook grabs park jimin who was by his side and pulled him into his arms.

he ignores the fact that his heart is pounding and his excuse was the adrenaline and happiness for the fact that they won. 

 

the boys changed their clothes before returning to their friends, who were waiting outside. the show was finally over, they'd received their trophy and it was being held tightly in the small hands of park jimin.

and the first thing seokjin hyung does when he spotted the winners outside is to snap a picture of them. taehyung did the same thing shortly afterwards.

 

 

namjoon stood beside the boys, looking like a proud father. "nice job, you totally deserved that."

"i almost tripped on the way up" hoseok hyung admits and yoongi let out a laugh.

his hand reached up to pet hoseok's hair. "you still did good though."

they hung out for the rest of the night, parting ways only when it was getting too late and eyes could barely keep themselves opened.

 

he receives a text message from yoongi hyung when he got back to the dorms. jungkook doesn't know why yoongi would text him when they just saw each other fifteen minutes ago.

curious, he turned his phone on and checked.

 

honestly, when will their friends stop?

 

min yoongi is on his back about the whole situation again. and the last time he listened to the older boy, nothing bad happened so he assumes it was safe to do so again.

maybe this was the sign he's been waiting for. and now that he's got his push, he's going to have to do the rest on his own.

 

jungkook is calling park jimin the 2nd at 10pm that night, right after his text conversation ended. yoongi is basically dragging him out of the water right now, and he thinks it's about time. he prays jimin is not asleep yet, but he would understand if he was. he'd feel bad if he was waking up the boy though. jungkook was about to make up his mind and just hang up, the call could wait until tomorrow, but jimin finally picks up.

"hello?" he sounds really tired, and jungkook is boiling in guilt. 

"oh hey, so uh" he's stuttering. goddamn it. "this weekend, uh are you free?"

it seems as if jimin knew what was going to come after that, because he's suddenly chuckling softly now. "yeah of course, what's up?"

"so about that first date we've been hold off" and now they're both smiling idiots, or at least jungkook is on his end, he's curious of whether jimin is too.

"i'll pick you up at 4pm? on sunday?" jungkook asks and he's picturing jimin nodding his head on the other line, as the boy is humming along as an answer. and as much as jungkook would like to spend the night talking to park jimin, he knows the older boy is tired, so he quickly comes up with the excuse that he's got to go do stuff and that he's going to hang up. 

"sorry if i woke you up, good night and i'll see you on sunday." 

and he doesn't deny the way jimin's voice is melting his ears when he softly whispers back, "good night jungkookie. thanks for coming tonight"

 

!tiny bonus! hobi's story:

Chapter 13: where jungkook gives an answer

Summary:

where art meets art.

Notes:

hope you like long updates lol

jungkook arrives 15 minutes early, but is surprised to receive a text from jimin when he puts his car in parked, telling him to message him back whenever he gets there because the boy is ready.

it doesn't take long for jungkook to send him a quick reply and for jimin to come out through the gates.

"welcome to namjoon hyung's car because i don't have my own" jungkook grins, causing jimin to throw his head back as he laughs. 

"fancy" he says, entering the passenger side. "where are we headed?"

"one of my favorite places" jungkook tells him as he starts the car. "it's downtown, and then we can wander around afterwards. there's a lot of walking so be prepared."

jungkook is attempting to change lanes now, and it's not the best he's done but they made it over safely. jimin looks kind of, just a little, terrified at the younger's driving skills.

"did you just get your license or something?" he teased.

"no, i got it like last year." jungkook defends himself. "i just, uh, haven't driven in a while since i don't really need to go to places that's far enough to where a car is necessary. and namjoon hyung is very protective of this thing, i'm surprised he even let me borrow this." 

 

they arrived at the seoul museum of art after a twenty minute drive. jimin seems relieved to be able to stand on the ground and breathe again. but he's also surprised of where they were.

"i didn't know you were into art"

jungkook shrugs, stuffing the keys into the pocket of his black winter coat. "that's why we're here, on a date, to get to know each other." jimin is starting to blush, brushing off the comment as they are now entering the building.

 

the main exhibit is showing contemporary and modern art at the moment, which is new because it was usually displayed in the spring seasons. they enter each room and seem to separate from each other as they go to look at different paintings displayed on the walls, and minutes later one would walk to the other and they head off somewhere else together.

one of the last corners on the floor was where the modern arts were being shown. jungkook stands back for a moment, watching jimin admire the art pieces. he seems to enjoy hanging around the sculpture placed in the center of the room. he decided to frame the moment, because this was better than admiring any other work from famous artists displayed around the room.

because park jimin is still the best masterpiece in a room full of art. and jungkook could stare at him all day, trying to decipher and understand each details of the boy.

his admiration hour ended early when jimin calls for him.

"hey kookie, come take a picture for me" jungkook is immediately diverted to where jimin was standing. right next to his apparent new best friend.

and that began their mini photoshoot. (and in which jungkook sneakily takes a picture of jimin in the middle of posing and posted it on his feed. no, his caption did not indicate jealousy, why would he be jealous of that thing? pfft.)

and apparently jimin did the same thing.

jungkook reads the comment and felt proud at the praises he was getting from namjoon hyung.

 

"hi, would you guys like a free photo? today is the last day for the offer!" a random lady dressed in all black asked when the both walked into the next exhibit. 

"uh what?" jungkook wonders out loud but it goes unnoticed when jimin excited grabs his arm, dragging him to where the set was after yelling out an 'of course!'. he's confused, but he followed the boy.

"this is a famous painting back in the 20th century, which is not too long ago," the lady tells them as she is fixing the settings of her camera. jungkook nods in despite the fact that he was very uninterested in the historical facts. he just wants to leave as soon as she takes the picture.

"oh look jungkook, we're going to remake that!" 

it's a painting of an old couple standing in front of a floral background. the woman is wearing a black hat with details of orange flowers; which is basically the equivalent to flower crowns these days, jungkook thinks. she is looking away from her lover. the old man is standing facing the woman, staring lovingly as she is pinning a purple boutonniere on the left lapel of his black suit. 

"you're the old woman" jungkook teased.

jimin lightly elbowed his chest. "shut up, it's only because you're taller."

jungkook chuckles. "it's cute" he says quickly before the lady tells them that she was ready to take the picture. it takes fifteen minutes for they to get the pose and angle and whatever the tiny detail was that photographers want to get perfect when you're taking a simple picture. they got the copy almost immediately, and jimin was too excited to see the final result.

"this is so cool!" he squeaks. they were now walking away from the exhibit, off to more wandering. 

 

there is a small coffee shop nearby and that was the next stop after exiting the museum.

"i've heard of this place actually. apparently they have really good pastries there" smiles jimin. "and drinks, i need a drink right now."

"it's like 6pm on a sunday, why would you drink right now?" jungkook asks as they are crossing the street.

jimin looks at him, as if disappointed in what jungkook was thinking. "i'm talking about a hot drink, not alcohol, you weirdo."

 

when jungkook left to order the drinks, jimin checked his phone to see that taehyung had sent him a text almost an hour ago, asking how the date was going. jimin quickly replied with a picture of jungkook.

he gets winking emojis from kim taehyung minutes later.

 

jungkook takes a seat at their table, lets out a dramatic sigh and laid his head down on the table. jimin assumed his job was done and now they're waiting for the order to be brought to them.

the younger boy then reaches his hand out and waved it around as if searching for something. jimin smiles softly and places his hand into the boy's. jungkook catches the hand and closed his fingers around it. the other hand is lightly in contact with jimin's forearm.

it's the first time they are holding hands, but it felt as if this has been a normal occurrence.

jimin pulls out his phone, capturing the moment with his camera. he saves the photo because it's cute and jungkook is cute. 

"i heard that, what are you doing?" jungkook mumbled.

"what are you doing?" jimin ask back. this has become a habit between the two.

"your hands are soft, can i hold them forever?" jungkook says, voice muffled with his head still down.

jimin laughs. "uh no? i actually like the use of my hand, thanks."

 

their drinks arrive after about ten minutes. the caramel latte jungkook ordered is pretty, but doesn't taste like it.

jungkook is frowning at the bitterness that seemingly doesn't want to leave his mouth. he looks back at jimin, who was enjoying the view of jungkook's suffering. 

"try it" jungkook offers, carefully pushing the cup towards the boy sitting across from him.

jimin shakes his head with a smile still planted on his face. "no thank you. your face shows you clearly did not like it so i'm just going to be smart and save myself from having to go through that."

"i only made the face because it was hot" he lied. "i promise it's not bad. if i'm lying then you can punch my arm." 

the older boy is staring holes into his face, still doubt written across the expression. he sighs, slowly reaching for the cup. jungkook is laughing to himself, yes he's evil, but it's fun to see people falling for your tricks. jimin brings the drink to his lips and carefully takes a sip. he looked petrified the moment the liquid settles on his tastebuds and immediately set the cup down. jungkook now allows himself to laugh out loud as the older boy quickly grabs his own drink and take a quick gulp. he looks up and glared at his date, who was having way too fun watching go through the pain he'd survived minutes ago.

"can i punch your face instead?"

"hey, that's rude to say on the first date" the young boy frowns.

"it's more rude to feed your date poison" 

jungkook sighs in defeat. "sorry...sort of."

he really got his punch in the arm after those three words.

 

"you like me a latte?" jimin questions as he reads the caption of the post he's been tagged in, as well as the other comments. "that means you don't like me at all?" he reasons.

jungkook rolled his eyes and mumbled "was just trying to be romantic, gosh." and it doesn't take long to see a smile reach park jimin's eyes.

 

the second time they are holding hands that night is when jungkook decided to park the car a block away from jimin's house, because his excuse was that he wanted to walk jimin home (it's actually his dorm because jimin's real house is kind of in busan, and the both are kind of in seoul. jungkook thinks they can do it another time.) after the first date like in those typical dramas. the older boy does nothing but nods his head and smiles. 

park jimin's hands are soft. like really soft. it reminds him of the pictures he'd send to jungkook past midnight, where he's laying in bed, look cuddly and fluffy as fuck and jungkook just wants to keep him for himself.

they are stopped before the gates of jimin's dorms. 

the silence is broken after a couple of seconds. "i know we've been labeling each other with pet names and all, but nothing has been official..." jimin took a pause, his eyes are now anywhere but meeting jungkook's. the younger boy seem to have caught on to what was happening and what was going to come next. "so would you like to be my boyfriend?"

well...there it is. and now jungkook is speechless.

he begins to smile. like really wide. maybe brighter than hoseok hyung's when he came to the airport to pick him up. 

"i was beginning to wonder when that question would come," he begins. "and i honestly thought i would soon be the one who would have to step up and ask. but you obviously got there before me." 

park jimin is now looking up at him, who's beginning to smile too. and then, jeon jungkook finally whispers a yes. there's silence before it's followed up with laughter, relief is breathed in and happiness is exhaled.

so now they're standing underneath the night sky, their fingers are turning cold but it's okay because jungkook grabs jimin's hands and rubbed them together, trying to return warmth into them.

"hey, wanna reenact ed sheeran lyrics?"

jimin looks up at him, almost wearing a confused expression on his face. 

"which one?" he asks curiously.

"kiss me under the light of a thousand stars" jungkook sings. the older boy laughs.

"jungkook ah, there's barely any stars tonight."

"you can always imagine them." 

"you're just desperate to kiss me" jimin is smirking now.

"well if you know, then why don't you do it?" 

"you've become bold" jimin says and the rest of his speech was muffled as jungkook presses his lips against jimin's. it tastes like sweet mint. (there's also a faint hint of green tea latte from the hours spent at the cafe earlier.) the flavor of jimin's favorite lip balm and jungkook's favorite taste because holy shit he's actually kissing park jimin's, his boyfriend, lips right now.

it doesn't matter now if they're kissing under a thousand stars or none at all. the one thing that matters is their equally swollen lips, the arms that are circling jungkook's neck and ones around jimin's waist, and how happy they are right now.

 

jimin was close to falling asleep when his phone went off.

why the hell is jeon still awake at this hour? isn't he exhausted after this evening?

another one of jungkook's (failing) pick up lines that he probably thought of when he got home or something, jimin thinks to himself.

he really hasn't done that since jeju though.

was he really counting the time since he'd accepted jimin's request to be his boyfriend? really? jimin smiles to himself.

jungkook makes his phone go off again, but he's really tired. so he decides that the boy can wait until morning for a reply. park jimin falls asleep with a smile on his face as he pulls the comforter closer to his body, pretending as if a certain boy was next to him to share the warmth.

Notes:

inspired by the downtown trip™ i took with two friends last spring(?)

 

*i'm scared this might get too long so i'm think about ending this early idkidkidk
**if u don't get why everyone commented 'ok', look behind jimin lol

Chapter 14: where jungkook beats his own record of ways to fuck up

Summary:

he's being immature. but what did they say about 'boys will be boys' again?

Notes:

hey! if you didn't know, i wrote a small oneshot for this fic, so go check it out! :-)

it takes two months for the first fight to unravel between the two lovers.

they were free of school and the stress of assignments on the saturday night that was spent talking to each other. through the big screen of jungkook’s laptop to be specific, where skype was opened and jimin was staring back through the screen.

there was a normal conversation happening before everything unfolded; the casual topics being brought up and it just lead to the daily routine of telling each other how their days were.

that’s when there was an awkward silence between the two, only the fan of jungkook’s laptop and his breathing could be heard. jimin is shuffling through papers, pretending to look through them when he’s just trying to distract himself away from the uncomfortable atmosphere between them.

and then he stops, suddenly looking up like he’s remembered something. he looks nervous now, unconsciously biting his lips as a nervous habit.

“do you want to talk about something?” jungkook asks suspiciously.

he gets an answer from jimin in the form of a question. “do you sometimes think we’re too dependent upon each other?”

“what do you mean?” his eyebrows furrow, forehead wrinkled in concern. he didn’t expect jimin to break their silence with that kind of question. “is something bothering you?”

jimin sighs, slumping his shoulders. “i don’t know.”

jungkook gives him a frown. “you said that when we first talked on the phone, before i finally got a confession out of you. just tell me what’s wrong”

“everything” jimin answers. “everything seems wrong at the moment and i’m scared, i don’t know what to do. and sometimes i feel like i can’t confront to you, jungkook ah, because i’d think to myself, we’ve probably talked too much today and i don’t need to burden your life even more with my problems and insecurities.”

jungkook doesn’t understand. he doesn’t know why, out of all the days and times before this, jimin is suddenly bringing it up now. “what? i really don’t understand what’s going on here, hyung”

“i knew you wouldn’t. that’s why i talked to taehyung about it” jimin bringing up kim taehyung’s name did not make the situation any better. maybe even a little worse than how it already is. and it makes him feel uncomfortable at the fact that kim taehyung was the first person he'd approach for advice about his relationship, rather than jungkook, his boyfriend, who's kind of the person he's in the relationship with. “he told me to be honest with you.”

“so will you?”

he seems hesitant, but gives a small nod. “i don’t know where to start. even though it’s been two months, i feel like i’ve been rushing into this relationship, we both have . and i don’t know if it’s healthy for neither of us. and it’s unfair, to have the feeling of throwing away your life for something that you don’t know worth holding on. and i don’t mean that in a bad way, i promise. but just imagine, if we were to go separate ways, what would we do without each other? we have been so dependent on the other person, is this really what you want?” there’s a small sigh. and jungkook seem to have forgotten how to breath during jimin’s speech. he sucks in a lungful of air.

and jeon jungkook suddenly realize one thing. this was a relapse of what has happened in the span of two weeks before they were officially dating. where jimin seems to be left to his own devices and his thoughts and insecurities seem to have found their way to take over.

 

“it’s scary, how i feel like my life has stopped when this thing started. i don’t think it’s healthy” jimin says.

"are you..." jungkook begins, not having a clue of where he was going with this. "implying that i'm holding you back?"

jimin doesn't speak for a moment.

“i think we both deserve a break”

but his mind wasn't taking any of it tonight as it transform both of their insecurities into anger. stirring the inside of his stomach and turning it into an emotion he's never felt before. almost like betrayal, but not. shock, but it hits him as if he's been anticipating the impact to happen any time soon.

and he allows his mouth to open and speak words that he doesn't mean before it can stop itself. it's too late to turn back now.

“you talk like this is a job” jungkook scoffs. the feeling of anger crawling up his throat but he brushes it off.  “like you’re obligated to do these things. like you can just quit and call it off anytime you want.”

“that’s not what i mean” jimin’s sad face goes unnoticed by the younger boy.

“well that’s what i am getting here” he snaps. “you know what, since you feel so obligated to talk to me, i’ll give you permission to end the conversation and hang up. since you know, i wouldn’t want to stop you from living your life and making your own decision.” it seems like he’s mocking jimin, but he’s just hurt. and jungkook doesn’t know how to express his thoughts, so here he is, pushing away the only person that seemed the closest to him for the past months.

"don't be like this"

"then how do you want me to be? should i keep my distance now? maybe the next time we go on a date i won't grab your hand to hold, because you know, we're our own persons and we shouldn't be too happy to see each other since that shows our dependence upon the other person." jungkook's temper is visibly now. and he could feel jimin's tearful eyes are staring back at him through the screen. he doesn't look up though.

the younger boy speaks up again. "you know what, it's been a long night. i think i need some time to think."

jimin clears his throat softly and he takes a deep breath, jungkook could hear the trembling in it. "alright. call me when you're ready to talk?"

jungkook doesn't give an answer, instead reaching to tap on the red button on the screen.

he gets up from his bed, closing the laptop and setting it down a little too harshly on his desk. he's glad namjoon hyung is out tonight, because he needs the space to himself tonight.

to drown in his guilt and to rethink about the past two months.

Chapter 15: where jungkook learns the hard way

Summary:

it takes namjoon and a secret group chat to solve jungkook's life crisis.

Notes:

(i know you're tired of reading thousands of words and want to see edits, and i promise more will come your way soon.)

almost a week later, jungkook finds himself at a coffee shop. this time it is with namjoon, who doesn't tease him unlike the last time he was here with someone else, trying to seek some life advice.

“both of you were just scared” says the older boy after they were seated.

jungkook shrugs off the jacket he’s been wearing and places it on his lap. “yeah but it was obviously not a good conversation”

“then don’t let this turn into something that is toxic” frowns namjoon. jungkook doesn’t speak, only fidgeting with his own hand. their order was delivered to them shortly after.

jungkook stares back, stirring the americano that doesn’t seem to ever turn sweet.

there’s already a bitter taste lingering in his mouth without him needing to take a sip of the coffee. he finally decides to speak up. “what if it does?”

“then you will need to let go. both of you. but i don’t think it will get to that point. you just let words slip without meaning them, and you allowed your temper take over your life for a split second. everyone fucks up once or twice, it’s alright.” namjoon takes a sip of his own drink.

“how are you so philosophical? you’re a math major” jungkook smiles.

“hey, i was at the top of my psychology class freshman year and i was a teacher's assistant”

“show off” the comment makes the both of them laugh.

“not really,” namjoon says. “plus, the more relationships you get into, the more you will learn about them and yourself”

“relationships? like you and seokjin hyung?” jungkook teased.

“something like that” namjoon smiles. jungkook didn’t expect the response but he’ll take it. the two have never really officially admit the relationship between them, but there was enough to hint that there was something going on between the two boys. well, at least he’s the first to hear it from one of them.

“i texted yoongi hyung about it” jungkook suddenly remembers. “the morning after, i told him. and i’m pretty sure he thought i was an idiot but didn’t say.”

namjoon let out a small chuckle. “of course he would, but you know him, he’s always honest about things rather than sugarcoating his opinions.”

“i should have been like that. instead of, you know, losing temper and hurting him even more. goddamn, i didn’t even know how he was feeling like that until he told me. imagine if he didn't!”

“it’s hard, the first stages of a relationship where you’re still surrounded by your own insecurities and being unsure of whether your feelings are actually mutual. maybe your conscience tells you to stop worry, but you can't help the way your mind is twisting and questioning every little thing, and whether that person is genuine or not. and once your mind lingers around a topic for too long, it begins to create its own facts and fantasies." namjoon explained. "i think jimin was too caught up in his own mind and was ashamed to admit it to you, or maybe he doesn’t know how, so he approached taehyung whom he’s been comfortable with for a longer time.”

“and that’s where i let my childish jealousy come in” jungkook lets out a dramatic sigh. “i really hate this feelings business.”

namjoon laughs. “don’t. you’re just new to it. but call him tonight. you haven’t spoken in what, four or five days?” he receives a curious look from namjoon. jungkook shamefully nods.

it’s true that they haven’t exchanged a single word since jungkook abruptly hung up on the older boy. and it seems like jimin was really going to let him take his time without any bother. he wonders whom the boy has seeked advice from in the meanwhile.

“i don’t know what to say though”

“you will once you start talking. just tell him what you’ve just told me, but more honest and in depth.”

“i owe you, alot. thanks hyung” smiled the younger boy. namjoon nods.

“you can start repaying me by buying me lunch”

 

apparently there has been a secret group chat going on behind jungkook's back. and maybe jimin's, but he hasn't spoken to him to know if he knew about it. jungkook assumes seokjin would be the one who could have done something like that. maybe namjoon let the status of their relationship slip in the middle of a casual conversation, and now it seems like their whole group of mutual friends knew about jungkook's relationship crisis.

he found out thanks to yoongi hyung, who carelessly said something along the lines of 'well i think that you just need to talk it out, it's not that hard. adults do it, and you're almost turning 19 so you should really grow up soon. everyone in the chat is getting anxious and becoming really annoying about it. so you've basically got everyone on the edge of their seats, waiting for you just to dial jimin's number. so do it soon, please. for the sake of your relationship and my sanity.' 

jungkook felt like sulking again, but he doesn't allow himself to do that as he's been doing it all day today. he's just drowning in the sea of remorse and he can't get out because he's too scared to make the first step. and it doesn't matter how many nets or life jackets his friends are going to throw out, because he's still going to flail his arms around the waters until someone comes to pull him out.

an incoming text message interrupts jungkook's staring contest against the blank white walls of his dorm room.

'i hope you know how to fight, jeon jungkook, because if my best friend doesn't remember how to smile by the end of the week; you better believe i'm going to be squared up outside of your dorm, ready to punch you.' read the text message from taehyung. another one comes before jungkook could even blink 'i know where to hit so that it'll hurt.' 

he swallows a gasp of air, almost choking. 

if he was looking for a sigh or push to talk to his boyfriend, then this was definitely it. a series of threats from kim taehyung, the best friend of park jimin the 2nd and his kind-of-enemy, was all it took for jungkook to search for jimin's contact before hitting the call button.

 

"uh, hello?" he could hear jimin's heavy breathing into the speakers. maybe he's at dance practice or in a hurry, jungkook should have checked the time before he called. 

"hey, how are you?" he really wanted to know how the older boy has been coping. 

"did you enjoy your break?" jungkook's tone returned to his usual teasing, before he realized that they haven't talked in a while, for reasons that weren't the best and that was wrong to ask. "sorry, too soon?"

jimin giggles, and jungkook felt a small sense relief for a strange reason. "well, my five days break was very stressful, as much as i'd like to relax, there were lots of things going on."

jungkook doesn't want to imagine jimin frowning, but he can't help it. "i'm sorry." he doesn't know if he's apologizing for jimin's answer, or the whole situation they got themselves into. he waits for an answer, it doesn't come instantly. jungkook stares holes into the walls, counting to about twenty four mississippi's before he heard a long sigh and sound of shoes against the waxed floor. he can picture jimin getting up from the floor, so maybe he was at dance practice.

"it's not your fault. i should have been more clear about my feelings. i should have approached you before everyone else, but i didn't because i let my insecurities to control my life." jungkook didn't expect this response. but he doesn't speak, letting jimin continue his thoughts. "during the time we didn't speak, i had a talk with yoongi hyung. he told me about how you lose your temper really easy sometimes, especially towards the things you know you're growing attached to."

jungkook makes a mental note to whine to yoongi for the next two weeks about exposing him. he allowed himself to respond this time. "well, he isn't wrong." he doesn't really know what to say after that, but he allowed his thoughts to flow out. "but that doesn't change the fact that i lost my temper and lashed out at you. that shouldn't have happened. i should have been patient with you and let you explain yourself instead of being childish and hanging up."

"hm, then i guess we're both at fault here" jimin concludes, in which jungkook nods to show that he agreed until he realized the other boy wouldn't be able to see that.

"so now i'm going to say that i'm really really sorry and we are both going to have a long talk the next time i see you." 

"are you going to be happy about seeing me though?" the question hits him during the moment where he least expected. he didn't think jimin would take that to heart and it makes him feel even more guilty about everything.

"of course" jungkook begins slowly. "i'm always happy to see you. whether it's in person or through the screen of my phone."

jimin gives a small giggle, catching a breath of reassurance. "me too."

there was silence in the next few seconds before jungkook's voice broke through.

"i wish i could kiss you right now. hug you. apologize in person."

"you can do all of that soon, i promise" jimin whispers, jungkook could feel a grin on his face. he then hears jimin exhaling dramatically.

"anyways, can you facetime me? i'm leaving practice and it's really dark outside, and there's creepy alleys i have to walk by." 

jungkook laughs, rolling his eyes at the older boy even though he couldn't see him. oh he's missed this feeling. the feeling of love and security. he hangs up the phone after mumbling a 'sure' to his boyfriend.

tonight's call ended with ease at the fact that they were once again back to being civilized and honest towards each other, unlike their last phone conversation.

(and tomorrow he's going to expose seokjin for starting the group chat about their relationship.)

 

Notes:

so i realized that it's been 10 days since this story was published, and i still can't believe that every time i look at the numbers. like over 200 kudos and 3000 hits? how?!?!??
but thank you so much, even to those who glanced through and decided to click out, you still took the time to look at my work lol. we're so close to the end, but it's only this story, there's a lot more to come ;;;;)))))

i don't think i will be able to write next week and the first half of the week afterwards bc i've got driver's ed stuff and my driving test coming. but i'm pretty sure i'll be able to publish the end by this weekend. if i don't, then i'll try to get it in the first few days of next week.

but thank you so much, for those who are still here and the new readers. i still can't believe i've achieved so much in such a short span of time, it honestly feels like i've been writing this story all summer.

now gooood night, my loves. i shall see your pretty faces in the next update (°◡°♡).:｡

Chapter 16: where jungkook is glad he added the wrong park jimin

Summary:

they celebrate a milestone, small but still something special.

Notes:

this is it. oh my god, it's the end.

but no worries, this story is complete while the series is still ongoing. so watch out for more (protip: subscribe to the series or bookmark it)

but have fun, because i definitely did after overcoming the two days where i was drained of ideas.

jungkook is scrambling around the guestroom.

he’s gathered his stuff for the weekend and moved them to yoongi’s house. and since yoongi’s housemate was going to be gone for the rest of the semester, he didn’t mind that jungkook was spending his time there.

today was a special day. it was his six months anniversary with park jimin the 2nd.

his bowtie was nowhere to be found. did he even pack it? okay. stay calm, everything is going to be fine, jungkook thinks, this is supposed to be a good day. he wants to scream though, but decide against it as yoongi hyung was probably in the living room taking a nap or writing again.

he’s gotten a text the night before from his boyfriend, stating that he and taehyung would be coming over and they would hang out until the two has to leave. and apparently taehyung was interested in hanging out with yoongi, so he’s going to spend the night with them. (well at least yoongi hyung can thank him for not making him a third wheel.)

jungkook doesn’t know when the other boys were coming, but he’d rather just get ready before they arrive and get over the stress of deciding on what to wear.

 

the doorbell rings several of times when yoongi and jungkook were sprawled out on the sofa, each person at their own side of the living room. jungkook assumes it’s taehyung who is behind the door, pressing the small button until it’s close to breaking.

“i’m coming!” he grunts, pushing himself off from the seat and attempting to fix his hair as he makes his way towards the door.

upon opening, the first person he spots was kim taehyung. and he isn’t surprised to see the boy slowly retreating his eyes from the poor doorbell. he gives a smile that hides his eyes. jimin gives a small wave from behind, making jungkook smile in an instant.

taehyung watched the scene unfold, rolled his eyes and giving jungkook a playful shove  out of the way to enter the house. he lets out an excited cheer when yoongi was noticed on the loveseat across from where jungkook laid moments ago.

“hyung, i missed you!” taehyung falls into the seat, landing by yoongi’s knees. yoongi’s eyes were now removed from the pages of the book and scanned around until they met taehyung’s. he looked slightly uncomfortable at how comfortable taehyung was to himself, but did not speak about it.

“why do you act close to everyone but seem to want to kill every time you see my face?” jungkook frowns as he closed the door after jimin had walked in.

taehyung turns his head to the said boy. “let me have my moment, jeon. go help jimin get ready for your date night”

jimin chuckles from behind him. “but tae, you said you were going to help me”

his best friend allows a dramatic sigh escape from his lips, before removing his body from the seat. “fine. we’ll catch up when they leave. i have to go assist my helpless best friend now”

yoongi breathes out, probably in relief, and opens his mouth to tell taehyung the bathroom was just upstairs. the two makes their way upstairs and jungkook goes back to his original spot.

 

“you look amazing” jungkook says, almost breathless after spotting jimin coming out from the bathroom. he could hear taehyung laugh from inside.

jimin gives a smile that reaches his eyes. “says you” he then reaches out his hand, waiting for jungkook to take it, which he didn’t have to wait too long for.

“can you believe it’s been six months?”

“feels like a year” jimin hums. jungkook turns to him.

“is that a bad thing?” he steps a little closer.

“i don’t know. some people make it out to be. i mean, isn’t it a good thing that it feels like longer than that?”

“as long as it’s not longer because you’re dreading for it to be over” jungkook teases making jimin giggle.

“let’s get downstairs to leave soon” he tells him softly. but it doesn't happen until jungkook had successfully steal a kiss from his small boyfriend.

 

apparently the two boys were watching some drama airing on the television. yoongi looked as if he was going to fall asleep soon if taehyung doesn’t switch the channels soon.

“yoongi hyung! please take pictures for us!” jungkook skips down the steps, leaving jimin trailing behind. he makes it to the living room, where their friends were, to witness the scene.

yoongi opened his eyes and lazily replied “ask taehyung”

jungkook pretends to think for a second before shrugging. “nah, he’s bad”

he immediately earns a glare from taehyung. “HEY! YOU’RE MEAN!”

“are you going on your anniversary date or your high school prom? goodness” yoongi groans, but he doesn’t seem to mind as he gets up from the couch and takes the phone out of jungkook’s hand.

the couple did their poses with taehyung watching and yoongi’s eye rolls from the pda. the soundtrack of the drama was now singing in the background. taehyung had his phone out and he could hear the shutter sounds every five seconds but he doesn’t point it out. he’s probably updating his own story about the couple.

“taehyung, stop laughing to yourself it’s creepy” jimin says, finally pointing out the boy who’s grinning behind his phone.

“shut up, i’ll show you after you’re done” which leads to jungkook making a face. "yoongi hyung's place has nice lighting though, we should come over here more often."

the mini photoshoot ended after another couple of shots.

they were waiting for yoongi to get his car keys from his room when jimin scrolled through his snapchat app with jungkook looking over his shoulder.

there is one message from hobi hyung…

and another one from namjoon, who was apparently with seokjin. what a surprise.

after the little show from taehyung and replying to messages from their hyungs, the two were finally well on their way to their planned destination. jimin had made reservations for a fancy restaurant, hence why the two had made an effort to dress up nicely, and they would have dinner together before going to the place that jungkook had suggested. 

"this was totally worth the effort to dress up" jungkook whispers into jimin's ears as they are lined up inside the place, waiting to be seated. jimin wraps an arm around his waist and pulls him closer.

the waiter comes shortly after, asking for the name of their reservation before leading the two to their table. 

"hello, my name is hong jisoo and i'll be serving you tonight" he greets with a friendly smile, setting the menu down onto the table. 

the orders were placed and they quietly chatted while waiting for the food to arrive.

"thank you for this" jungkook smiles, his hand waving across the table until they've reached jimin's. 

"you're most welcome, baby" the older boy places a kiss on the back of his hand. jungkook's pale cheeks turned a crimson color. 

dinner was filled with laughter between the two lovers, jungkook being his silly self and reaching all the way across the table to feed jimin, and their attention only engaged towards each other, not giving a care of who was around them.

 

the idea of a scroll down along the han river seemed simple, but it was calming and romantic with park jimin the 2nd by his side. jungkook's fingers was tightly intertwined with jimin's as the younger playfully swung their hands back and forth until jimin complained about his arm hurting.

they don't talk much, the comfortable silence surrounding the boys spoke enough for them. it's nice, reaching a point in their relationship where they don't have to constantly speak. 

jungkook's curiosity breaks it though. the path where they have been walking connects to the bridge, where they've stopped to watch the waving waters and lights displayed along the way.

“so, why did you even add me that day? i feel like we’ve never discussed this.” jungkook's cold fingers were being warmed up by the embrace of jimin's.

jimin shrugged. “really? i thought we did.”

"remember when you told me to stop stalling and making excuses to not sing? now you're doing that and not telling me your reason" jungkook playfully nudged jimin's arm. his boyfriend blushed, biting his lips to hid the smile but failing at the end.

“you were cute. that’s really the only reason.”

“what if i was some fuckboy?” he questions, remembering the silly scenarios he's created himself when they first talked.

“well you’re not, so let’s not play the what ifs game right now.” jimin quickly retorts, rushing to end the current conversation. the couple chuckled before returning to a comfortable silence.

“thanks for letting me drown in regrets for the first couple of days, i will never forget that.” jungkook says after a couple of moments without the two saying anything.

“adding you on snapchat due to a typo was a dumb mistake, but falling in love with you was definitely not” jungkook speaks softly into jimin’s ear, using the teasing tone to cover up his shyness and the part where he’s a sap. but jimin sees through it all and laughs, his fragile body leaning its weight onto jungkook's side.

"god, i didn't know you could be so cheesy. definitely out of character" the boy was still laughing. 

jungkook unraveled their hands, seized jimin's shoulders to spin the boy around, allowing both boys to face each other now. he takes a tiny step closer. jimin is still smiling when he grabs a hold onto jimin's waist by softly circling both arms around.

"i love you" jungkook declares. another step towards the boy. jimin has stopped smiling now, instead biting his bottom lip. 

"and i love you just as much" jimin whispers. he decides to take the chance and tease jungkook back, after the many times his boyfriend has done before "maybe even a little more"

there's a small distance between them now. jimin's hands slowly make their way to jungkook's neck, wrapping around it loosely. jimin's eyes are pretty, he thinks, and he wouldn't mind staring at them for the rest of his life. jimin's features are delicate and he's scared if that he blinks, the fragile pieces will break so he doesn't break their eye contact. this time, the shorter boy takes a step closer. 

there is no distance now when jungkook finally lean forward until their lips met. this was definitely not their first kiss, but it sure feels like it since jungkook's heart is now pounding loudly as if it wanted to escape his chest. their eyes are closed but he can feel a smile forming on his own lips as they move in sync with jimin's. the boy's lips taste like the ice cream they had shared before arriving at the river. it also tastes like home, the one jungkook dearly miss and yearn for, but now he's in the arms of it. it's soft and jungkook could only wish to feel them against his own all the time. 

park jimin the 2nd deepens the kiss as he pulls jungkook even closer, hands now softly playing with the taller boy's hair.

and moments later, he was the first to pull away, leaning their foreheads together now and their noses touched. jimin is now whispering sweet nothings to him, and jungkook grins as he feels his breath tickling his bottom lip.

the two could not stop the smiles from their faces for the rest of the night.

 

their six months anniversary was definitely a happy one.

!bonus: taehyung's story during the couple photoshoot!

 

 

Notes:

where this is the end and here's my author's note:

i was honestly going to end the story two chapters ago, but i'm glad i waited it out.

and here we are now, at the ending of boy(s) online.

thank you for over 200 kudos, i still can't believe my eyes even after the hundreds of times coming back to this story to update or simply glance over each chapters to edit.

thank you for your generous comments and criticisms. as a writer, those things are very dear to my heart and it's always good to hear from your readers. to me, each time i am writing a story, it becomes a whole learning experience, and i am glad to have gone on this journey.

one of my goals this year was to start and complete a project and i guess this is it.

again, thank you for reading the words i mindlessly type out way past midnight, and telling me how much you love the story and my attempts at editing.

i will see you in my next story, which is a continuation of this, and i hope you will be looking forward to it just as i am about writing. (again protip: subscribe to the series to be notified right away!!)

love you all and good night (´▽`ʃƪ)♡

(yes, i did publish the chapter earlier, you weren't seeing things. i wasn't satisfied with it, that's why i deleted it and rewrote this)
((there's a tiny special thing i've got planned, so pls anticipate lol ok bye. and pls forgive the fact that the kiss scene SUCKED bc i'm a fetus at writing those soz akjfhkasd i'll fix it tmr morning lmao))

Chapter 17: [UPDATE: these pics couldn't be restore im sorry :( ] where there's unreleased edits

Summary:

this is just a 'blog' post. some important stuffs at the bottom though, so scroll down there :-)

i just wanted to do some show and tell haha.

let's start with the origin of this story. it started from a lame idea thought of way past midnight. (honestly, that's how many of my fanfictions start lmao.) a few days before this, i was doing some thinking like okay, what if bts had their own individual accounts on instagram? or whilst watching taeyeon and tiffany's snapchat stories, i would think okay what would bts do? because you know, when you're so trash that you could relate everything to them. (i promise i'm not one of those annoying commenters on youtube tho lmao.)

so i was laying in bed, waiting for my sister to get out of the bathroom and i just started saving photos and writing potential captions on top of them. i ended up staying in the same position for at least an hour, tapping on my phone nonstop and just creating this storyline in my head. 

here's some examples of the website i found online to make snapchat edits before i realized that they suck bc their captions only allow like five words.

you couldn't even move the caption to your liking haha.

(because i was thinking of a video similar to this lol)

(i honestly don't think that's even taehyung sitting next to jeon)

(made this on the same wbsite with my phone at like 3am lol)

honestly, if you think the first chapter is good enough to make you hit that kudos button, then shout out to you because i improvised my way through that whole chapter lol. i really just typed up anything i could think of and then i spent the next three days figuring out a way to efficiently make those snapchat edits. the instagram pictures were actually easier than i had expected, it was just really time consuming. and the worst part was honestly looking up pictures. of course it's nice to scroll through google images and stare at their beautiful faces, but it was a pain to find pictures that kind of match up, especially when it shows outfits. like you would see one picture and be like, oh that's really nice, but then you need like three more pictures where they're in a similar pose or wearing a top that looks kind of like it, but there tons out to be negative results.

 

next segment. these edits were one of my favorites, i just never found the right context to add them into the story. and since i don't think i'm add them into my new story, i'm just gonna share them. lol.

my first instagram edit...tears are rolling.

tag yourself, i'm taehyung in the comments.

okay, conclusion!! the next installment of the series is up, go check it out. CLICK THIS LINK, i promise u won't regret it ok bye

Chapter 18: a little announcement

i can't believe i'm writing this instead of my essay but anyhow!!

so i've been doing a lot of thinking these days. i wrote multiple chapters for (snapchat) stories of their lives but realized that it felt like something was missing. and i realized i was just missing the fact that i used to have this foundation set out for a storyline and that i wasn't used to just writing multiple short stories. so i've decided to connect all the oneshots together and make a whole new story, which will be the sequel to boy(s) online. so the other story is just going to get a title change and some edits here and there and then we'll be continuing the online adventure of jikook.

hope that was informative for some of you guys. i'm going to go now. it's 11pm and i should really work on my school assignments.

see you in the next update on the now SEQUEL! and of course, check out my tumblr (bluejikook.tumblr.com) bc there's going to be a lot that's going down in the next couple of weeks. i'm so ready for wings like i didn't preorder all four versions for nothing, am i right?

Chapter 19: i need your help

hey guys!

so, as we all know, the images have become a reoccurring problem with both of my works in this series and i need your help. where should i upload the pictures so that they don't disappear after a couple of weeks of me posting them? i've been posting them on a private facebook page and then copying the url onto here, but apparently that's not very efficient.

i should've thought about asking my readers about this sooner but i just thought of this, haha. i'm sorry for those who are trying to read this story and cannot go very far due to this technical difficulty. and school's been killing me so i have no time to go back and figure things out.

it would be a great help if i can get some feedback and suggestions to fix this problem. thanks so much in advance. i hope you guys are having a great day or night :-)
