now that we know that zb1 is getting a show, here are some variety content i want to see

one thing that i don’t really love about variety shows is sometimes they designate one member as the mc/judge because they have an odd number. which is fair! but also i like seeing everyone be able to participate, so i thought it’d be fun if they compete individually or in groups of 3 and then have an expert come in to moderate. so everyone can do it and it would be more educational for everyone too lmfao

also mnet if you’re reading this, feel free to steal these ideas. i want to see these happen so badly

art episode

yes this is because i want to see ricky kill it like????

but i’m also really curious to know how good the other members are at art

maybe like a the members draw each other?? and they can pair up the members who don’t know each other that well

or they can choose what medium they want to use and do like something that represents their upcoming debut like a collage or smth like that

i love mixed media can one of them pls do it

or!!!!! they can do a design contest for the fanclub mascot and we can all vote lmao

so like bts with bt21

would also be a really cute way to introduce the name like maybe the members find out at the beginning of the episode and then based on what they drew we can try to guess what our name is

the potential is endless i’m telling you

i could see them either inviting an actual artist in to help or just straight up letting them go wild

but ricky is their expert

so i just found out after writing this whole thing that jiwoong is also good at art?? ^^his art

so if he and ricky are the new experts now

i think it’d be cool to see them collaborate on a piece and it would be very chill

while in the bg you just hear the members losing it

cooking/baking episode

similar to the cake decorating they did during the finale

i’m also thinking like seventeen’s cooking segments?

we can do teams of 3

can be same format as when they were preparing for their performances on boys planet but instead of killing part, main vocalist, etc, it can be appetizer, entree, and dessert or something like that

to make it even more interesting, they can play a game to find out what ingredients they get or the secret ingredient that they have to work with

so either like the camping cooking segment or like the show mom vs chef where they get an unpopular ingredient and have to make it appetizing

OR no teams and everyone creates their own thing

and they invite a celebrity chef to come be their judge/mc

pls i need a gordon ramsay crossover

i want to see him and gyuvin interact like i cannot tell you why but yeah (also yes, gyuvin can speak english but idk how well)

halloween cosplay episode

i might be biased because i am a cosplayer

but imagine a halloween themed episode where they have to make their own costumes

maybe they’re given like different fabrics or random clothes to work with

and they can figure out their own hair, makeup, and props too

i want at least one member to try sewing like i need to see it

they could invite special guests to come and teach them how to work with stuff like worbla or a sewing machine

and then at the end they have to model all of the costumes and film a dance practice in them because ofc they do

AND THEY ALSO GO TRICK OR TREATING

dorm content

obviously we need some dorm vlogs!!

like if we could get an episode of the members balancing being idols and school for some of them

also a dorm moving in + bedroom decor episode

i’d love to see the members do challenges to win like a budget for their common space furniture

and then an ikea vlog of them trying to get furniture in a certain amount of time maybe??

or it’s a scavenger hunt for money inside of ikea while they’re simultaneously looking for furniture

also cooking vlogs or maybe the members try to host a housewarming party

i’d literally cry if they plan a housewarming and then invite their friends from boys planet to come

please i just need to see dog union and junrae reunite

and imagine if we can get wumuti, seo won, woongki, and hwan hee

this is purely wish fulfillment but i want it so badly

and i want to see their skincare + morning routines

closet tour?? the boys shared their clothes so often on the show that it was hard to tell who wears what normally

pc decorating episode

could be an album unboxing episode

and if the album itself has any sort of interactive element like how seventeen’s semicolon had the weaving kit then they could assemble that

they can also get toploaders to decorate

it can be based on the pcs they pull because i have a strange desire to know what their pc luck is like

also i know this is sort of blasphemy but it is their album so ig they get a pass

but imagine journaling but with the photobook and maybe stickers if they include any

in case you can’t tell, i want to see how artistic the boys are lmfao

amusement park episode

we all knew this was coming

why are we surprised

hear me out, it’s a combo of an escape room and an amusement park

so like to escape the amusement park they need to collect clues which are scattered all around the park

some of the clues require them to go on the ride first

they can also be split up into teams of 3 maybe?? to see who can get out first

and the team that gets out last has to go on a ride that the other two teams pick

school episode

i want yujin to be the teacher

and the rest of them are the students

and they all play some sort of character but like switched

watch sung hanbin and zhang hao switch

jiwoong and gyuvin

matthew and gunwook

this is purely because i need to see gunwook cringe while doing aegyo

gunwook our canadian oppa

tbh i think matthew can pull off the student president character

ooohhhh and he should debate too

and i saved the best for last

taerae and ricky switch, outfits and all

THINK ABOUT IT

LIKE RICH EXCHANGE STUDENT TAERAE

AND LOSER (AFFECTIONATE) FASHION TERRORIST RICKY

---

show and tell?? mini series

like i want each member to teach the other members a specialty of theirs

ig ricky’s was the art episode already so pretend that’s here

cafe episode

yes this was inspired by my idea of hanbin teaching all of the members how to tut and waack

but i feel like that’s too easy, so how about having hanbin bring the group to his family’s cafe and they run it for a day LMAO

or maybe help run it…

and hanbin’s mom can teach them (not hanbin bc cold injeolmi toast…)

i want gyuvin waiter like i cannot tell you why but

and taerae too bc the more i can see him smile the lighter my soul feels

and matthew waiter for the same reason ofc!!!

jiwoong making coffee, pls he has such barista vibes

hanbin on making hot desserts because i want him to redeem himself

and gunwook and yujin on decorating desserts because i also need them to redeem themselves for their cake

ricky on sodas and smoothies because his mocktail video was just too smooth like that’s what won me over

zhang hao on tea and tea lattes

idrk why but i feel like he’d be good on whisking matcha

like the violinist wrist yknow

strings ensemble episode

also zhang hao teaching them how to play violin

he can also play piano and gunwook said that one of his goals was to learn how to play

so what if they make their own little strings ensemble with gunwook piano solo

you cannot tell me that gyuvin doesn’t give off double bass and taerae doesn’t give off cello energy

as a cellist, i’m claiming taerae

ricky would probably play violin, like it has very expensive vibes

and hanbin too because haobin violin lessons…can you see the vision

i think yujin and matthew would play viola. i don’t have any reasoning but ik some violists and they all have that energy

jiwoong gives me saxophone vibes 💀 but since we can’t have that, i’ll also give him the cello

it has a really warm and deep sound?? idk i feel like it suits him but maybe i’m going insane

wouldn’t it be so cute if they played an arrangement of their debut title track

also not alone would be soooooo cute

learning english episode

with our canadian oppa matthew

i think it’d be so funny if ricky and gyuvin pretended like they didn’t know any english

ik vancouverites don’t really have a “canadian accent” but i want matthew to mess with them by doing like a newfoundland accent so badly

or he just starts speaking french but with like an english accent and we see how long it takes the other members to figure it out

i feel like ricky would know but not say anything

debate episode

so as we know, gunwook is a debate kid (i say that both lovingly and maliciously)

so essentially going seventeen’s debate night LMAO

i want the members to vote on something that they fundamentally believe to be true

like what way should toilet paper go

and then put them on the opposite team

BUT we follow actual debate rules so they have to do research and cite their sources

prepare objections, etc etc

all within like 15 minutes lmfao

---

musical episode pt 2

but i specifically want them to write the whole thing

one team can write the script, another can write the music and choreograph and another can build the sets and plan costumes

as the resident actor, i nominate jiwoong to write the script and help direct

maybe gunwook for writing too? he’s a nerd and a debate kid so i feel like his writing must be good

MUSIC TEACHER HAO WITJ DANCE TEACHER BIN AND SINGER SONGWRITER TAERAE

literally the dream team i’m sobbing

ricky on set design and costumes because he’s an art kid so i trust him

and matthew too because his cake in the final episode was actually really cute??

not sure where i’d put gyuvin and yujin? maybe gyuvin on script writing so he can be with gunwook because i will never get sick of watching them interact

and yujin on set design?? but also yujin and jiwoong (T ^ T) and i want to see the sheer chaos that is gyuvin trying to build a set

maybe they can play rock paper scissors to figure it out

actually just a whole school performance episode or mini series??

so each episode could be a different performance that they put on as a school recital

to perform for their parents LMAO (yes this is just the artist battle special star creator stage)

i need them to do a spoken word poem and or interpretive dance because i had to do that in elementary school and i need somebody else to share in my suffering

some ideas include: a poem about the importance of colours?? and a series of tableaus depicting the creation of the Canadian Pacific Railway

they could also do church plays but instead of stories from the bible they can be like korean folktales or disney ripoffs

and ofc they have to do the awkward singing and then doing hand movements that correlate to the lyrics of the song

could also be done with their debut track btw

i want fancams of all of this

sports day

you know i had to do it

isac also works!! but idk if they're doing that so um

so with the summer olympics coming up in 2024, i think it’d be so funny if they do some summer olympics sports

volleyball segment for gunwook our resident haikyuu nerd please

and they can wear the uniforms from the anime too

please please please wakeone think about it

also imagine a skateboarding episode?? idk why maybe it’s the north american but i feel like matthew would be surprisingly good at it?

also surfing?????

idk if the surfing scene in korea is good but if not they can always take a trip to hawaii or smth i certainly will not be complaining

esports + pc building episode

listen we have 3 whole gamers in the group, this is kind of perfect

the gamers can be the captains of each team

i want the lame ass esports poses and intros

and the stats too like imagine

ALSO if you guys have seen the trash taste pc building special but think about the potential

so it’s partly based on skill and also how well they can build a pc

so they build the pcs and then play using the pcs

there should be a separate prize or bonus for building it the fastest (but not necessarily the best)

also i want the editing thing where they have an expert build the pc properly and then every time that the boys fuck up, the clip of them messing up is played right after the expert does it the correct way

think about the chaos

mock trial episode

same sort of thing as the debate night but they have to represent their clients

i feel like sung hanbin would be the defendant like i have no evidence for this but i want someone to indict him

he just seems like he would be really good at pretending to have not committed a crime

and then 2 attorneys and 2 witnesses on each side

prosecutors: gunwook and zhang hao (imagine the haobin tension guys) (also gunwook just has major prosecution vibes idk what to tell you)

defence attorneys: matthew and gyuvin

prosecution’s witnesses: yujin and taerae

defence’s witnesses: jiwoong and ricky

i feel like gunwook and zhang hao would be really good and logical

but like how can you not want to trust matthew and gyuvin like they’re so sweet

also i need them for comedy

gyuvin would 100% object to random shit and i need that

i’m sorry but i can’t imagine yujin and taerae being very good witnesses so ig it balanced out gunwook and zhang hao?

and jiwoong and ricky would be AMAZING witnesses

like it took skill to not be evil edited so ricky would be able to keep his calm so well and jiwoong too like i would trust whatever they say

and the judge could be an actual lawyer they brought on as the expert for the episode

and the jury can be the staff lmfao

now what is hanbin’s crime you might be asking?

being too handsome tbh i have no idea maybe the fans can vote on it the week before or smth LMFAO

---

volunteering mini series!

it really warms my heart to see people give back to the community, especially idols because it inspires a lot of fans to do so too!

it’d be really nice if maybe as a holiday special? they went around to different places and volunteered to spread awareness for the causes

maybe it’d be better if they split up?

the members can choose what they’re passionate about too

my personal suggestions/ideas would be:

a retirement home (they can perform music for the elderly people there. i’m thinking zhang hao and taerae would be a good combo)

a hospital

a soup kitchen

a community centre (i’d love to see hanbin and gunwook teach after school dance lessons to children)

and the proceeds for the episode could go towards different charities or programs for these places (ie if they need more funding or renovations) as well as a link for fans to donate more to these places

[imaginationofacrazyfangirl]

Hey! Idk if your prompt requests are still open (if not ignore this lmao) but if yes, could you do a namjoon x reader and "im pregnant" Thank you!💕

Baby Shoes

Baby shoes littered the inside of your shared apartment. From the front door all the way to the bedroom, random pair of tiny shoes waited to be discovered. Their ‘discover’ currently far from home working hard on BTS’s next upcomming album unware of what awaited when he finally came home. Above you the clock ticked down the minutes for Namjoon’s arrival. Each tick of the hand grinded more and more on your nerves, tempting you to call Namjoon and tell him to arrive home quickly.

    However you forced yourself to remain patient. BTS’s latest comeback was only weeks away meaning your boyfriend and his bandmates were strapped for time as usual. Between perfecting song, dance moves, setting up interviews, and doing their usual commitments such as v-lives, you knew how stressed the boys felt. Namjoon, himself barely came home nowadays; choosing to sleep at the studio rather than coming home only to return in a mere hour or two. You felt lonely at times, but it couldn’t be helped.

  Namjoon was an idol after all. You knew where his commitments lied the moment you agreed to date him, and although occasionally you dreamt of dating someone with a less hectic job, you would never trade him. Beside it’s not like he didn’t apologize constantly for not being home or not being calling as much. Or spoiled you rotten the minutes things calmed down. All in all your guys relationship was a good one.

  That said though you felt surprised to find out you were pregnant a few days ago. With Namjoon so busy the two of you barely had time to see each other let alone be intimate. However you guessed those few quickies in the shower or on the couch of his studio finally caught up to you two. Your hand cradled your stomach noting the slight bump growing. This certainly wasn’t a planned pregnancy, but you held no doubt Namjoon would love the baby as much as you did already. Especially since he and you spoke often about having children together in the future.

    “Baby shoes?” Namjoon voice came from the front door. “There’s baby shoes in my front door hyung.”

   You covered your mouth trying to hold back your laughter at Namjoon’s amazed voice. You couldn’t blow your hiding spot just yet. Not when there were several pairs left for him to find. “No they are definitely not mine-they have Jungkook’s character on them, Kooky.” there was a pause before Namjoon said in a slightly annoyed voice. “Yeah, I’m sure their not his either.”

   Now you were practically dying on the floor attempting not to laugh. You could guess which one of the older boys it was on the phone with him. “She doesn’t have any nephews or nieces. Maybe a cousin?” Namjoon mumbled, before gasping loudly. “There’s more! They’re all over my house, hyung.”

    His footsteps continued further down the apartment. The sound of his shoes hitting the wooden floor telling you that Namjoon in his stupor forgotten to take them off. “Tata, Chimmy, Mang, nearly every  fourth one is a BT21 character. Where did these all come from? I don’t think we sell baby shoes for BT21.”

   Another pause, followed by. “I doubt she kidnapped a kid, hyung.”

You snorted at this. It must be Yoongi, he’s talking too.

     “But maybe she’s trying to tell me something. We have be discussing children lately. Maybe this is a clue that (Y/N) want to try?” Namjoon replied, his voice now right outside your guys’ bedroom door. 

  You listened quietly breath held as he came up to the finally pair of shoes. Unlike the rest, this pair placed in a pretty blue box with a note attached to them. Vaguely you wondered if he would recognize the significance of them. How they were the same shoes Namjoon bought all those years ago, before even meeting you. Finally the moment of truth came in a hoarse whisper, “I got to go hyung.”

    The door swung open revealing Namjoon dressed in his usual black shirt, comfy hoodie and pair of blue jeans. He looked a mess between the dark circles under his eyes, the messy hair, and clear signs of having only done the bare minimum to care for himself over these past few days. However it was all forgettable in the awake of Namjoon tear filled eyes. He stared at you, one hand holding the pair of baby shoes, the other clutching the note tightly against his chest.

   “Is this? Are you? Are we?” Namjoon asked, desperate.

You nodded, smiling softly. “Surprise! I’m pregnant.” 

    Namjoon moved forward, nearly tumbling over his feet as he swooped you into his arms. A flurry of kisses pressed themselves into your hair as he held you tightly. “We’re going to be parents. I’m going to be a dad! This is wonderful, (Y/N)! This is...this is amazing. Thank you so much, my love.”

   You giggled, stroking his head. “I’m glad you like it. You have no idea how much I wanted to tell you, but couldn’t find the right words. I spent days scrolling through pinterest and tumblr trying to come up with the perfect way to tell you, but nothing felt right.”

   Namjoon kissed your forehead, before slowly slinking down to nuzzle your stomach “I loved it. I love you. And most of all I love our baby. I can’t wait until they come. I swear all do my best to take care of you and them for the rest of our lives.”

     You could only smile picturing the day when Namjoon would finally be able to put those shoes onto your guys’ baby.

[lust-for-imagines]

Reaction - You love their BT21 character

Seokjin

Seokjin opened the apartment door and was met with silence. He promised you he’d get home earlier today, but as always lately, he couldn’t make it. He kicked his shoes off and dragged his tired body to the bedroom, not even bothering to change or shower. He could barely see you from the bed: you were all cozied between a pile of pillows and blankets, hugging a small, white plushie. He got closer to see you were actually sleeping with his RJ. You opened your eyes when you felt the bed sinking under him. “Does RJ give better cuddles than me?” “No, but he doesn’t arrive home late. Plus, he smells like you.” “I’m sorry, Y/N. This was the last time. How can I make it up to you?” “Dress up as RJ and cuddle me.”

Yoongi

After dating for almost a year, you gave Yoongi the keys to your apartment, so he could make a copy for himself. You hadn’t given it much thought, just throwing it in his bag before leaving for the day. A few hours later, you got a text from your boyfriend, with a picture attached: “Which one is for the front door? btw nice Shooky keychain ;)” Your face got red instantly. How could you forget? You had hidden most of your Shooky merch before you guys got serious, so he wouldn’t think you’re crazy. Another text popped up, less than a minute after: “I know you’re probably stressing over this. Don’t – I think it’s adorable.” Needless to say, you got all your Shookys back up that same day.

Hoseok

Hoseok had never visited your apartment before, so you tried to hide anything too weird or embarrassing before he came. You seemed to forget, however, the most important one: a speaker shaped like Mang – where you mostly blasted Hope World - that you kept in the living room. As if trained, that was the first thing he set his eyes on: “Oh my God! What is Mang doing here?” You quickly rushed to get it, blushing as you did so. “I know we’re dating Y/N, but I never thought I’d be your bias.” He joked, taking the speaker from your hands and putting it back in its place. “It’s okay, Y/N. It’s cute to show how much you love me.”

Namjoon

You were ready for bed when you got a Facetime call from your boyfriend Namjoon. You tried your best to cover your pajamas with a blanket before answering. Everything went smoothly: you talked about your day and gushed about how much you missed each other. You were getting tired and let your body slouch on the bed, bringing the phone closer to your face. “Y/N?” “What’s wrong, Joonie?” “Are you wearing Koya pajamas?” “Hum… If I said ‘no’, would you believe me?” “Not at all baby… we both know you’re a bad liar. But it’s okay – I also sleep with Koya pajamas.” He leaned the camera down, to show you were both matching.

Jimin

You were in the practice room with Jimin, and the new song he was choreographing was so exciting you couldn’t help but dance as well. The day was really cold, so you were sure you wouldn’t need to take off your hoodie, but after a long dance session, you were dripping with sweat and it was starting to get uncomfortable. Without giving it much thought, you slipped it past your head, throwing it next to your bag afterwards. Before you could even look at yourself in the mirror, you heard your boyfriend yelling: “CHIMMY!” You looked down to realize you were wearing a yellow shirt with Chimmy’s face right in the middle. You rushed to get your hoodie, but Jimin was faster and hugged you by your waist. “I know we’re both sweaty, but I couldn’t resist how cute you look – even cuter than Chimmy.”

Taehyung

The rain was far too strong outside – Taehyung couldn’t leave in weather like this. You suggested him to sleep over; since you’d been dating for a while and had slept in the same bed before, it wouldn’t be an issue. You both got ready for bed and were ready to sleep, but your boyfriend seemed too fidgety. “Y/N?” “Yes, Tae? Is everything alright?” “Do you have another pillow? I sleep better if I cuddle one.” “Are you seriously ditching my cuddles for a pillow?” You laughed at him. “There’s another pillow under the bed, if you want.” He dipped his head, but what he brought up wasn’t a white pillow. Instead, it was a red cushion shaped like Tata’s face. “You’re so mean! What is Tata doing thrown under the bed?” He smiled, throwing the cushion at you.

Jungkook

Jungkook was washing his face in your bathroom, and by the sound of it, he was completely lost. “The moisturizer is in the first drawer! Make sure to use it.”, you said from the bedroom. Still, you could hear him open different doors and it was driving you crazy. You entered the bathroom to help him, and was met with him looking like a deer caught in the headlights. His fluffy, dark hair was pushed back, held by a hairband – more specifically, your pink Cooky hairband that you used for skincare, and really didn’t want your boyfriend to find out. “Y/N! I’m sorry!” “I’m the one who’s sorry! You weren’t supposed to see this” You hid your face in your hands. "You know, it's okay for you to have a Cooky for when you're missing your Kookie." He joked, before kissing you.

The Boundless Optimism of BTS

IT IS THE MORNING OF CHUSEOK, A KOREAN HARVEST FESTIVAL akin to Thanksgiving, and the members of BTS would normally be spending it with their families, eating tteokguk, a traditional rice-cake soup. Instead, Jin, 28; Suga, 27; J-Hope, 26; RM, 26; Jimin, 25; V, 24; and Jung Kook, 23, are working. Practicing. Honing their choreography. In a few days, the biggest musical act in the world will perform in the live-stream concert that, for now, will have to stand in for the massive tour they spent the first part of this year rehearsing. At this moment, they’re seated inside Big Hit Entertainment headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, the house they built, dressed mostly in black and white, ready to answer my questions. They’re gracious about it. And groggy.

Before I’m done speaking with them for this story, BTS will have the number-one and number-two songs on the BillboardHot 100, a feat that’s been achieved only a handful of times in the sixty-odd years the chart has existed. Their next album, Be, is weeks away from being released, and speculation about the record, the tracklist, the statement, is rampant across the Internet. BTS are, to put it mildly, huge.

There is something about complete world domination that can really cement a friendship. What jumps out at me as I connect with the members of BTS is their level of comfort with one another. Tension has a way of making itself evident—even over Zoom, even through a translator. There’s none to be found here. They are relaxed in the manner of family. Lounging with their arms around each other’s shoulders, tugging on each other’s sleeves, fixing each other’s collars. When they speak about one another, it is with kindness.

“Jimin has a particular passion for the stage and really thinks about performance, and in that sense, there are many things to learn from him,” J-Hope says. “Despite all the things he has accomplished, he still tries his best and brings something new to the table, and I really want to applaud him for that.”

“Thank you for saying all these things about me,” Jimin responds.

Jimin turns his attention to V, explaining that he is “loved by so many” and describing him as one of his best friends. Suga jumps in, sharing that Jimin and V fight the most among the group. V replies, “We haven’t fought in three years!” They tell me this distinction now belongs to Jin and Jung Kook, the oldest and youngest members. “It all starts as a joke, but then it gets serious,” Jimin says.

Jin agrees and recounts what their arguments sound like. “Why did you hit me so hard?” he says, before mimicking Jung Kook’s response: “I didn’t hit you that hard.” And then they start hitting each other. But not that hard.

Since the start of their careers, BTS have shown a certain confidence in their aesthetic, their performances, and their music videos. It’s right there in the name: BTS stands for “Bangtan Sonyeondan,” which translates to “Bulletproof Boy Scouts,” but as their popularity grew in English-speaking markets, the acronym was retrofitted to mean “Beyond the Scene,” which Big Hit has described as “symbolizing youth who don’t settle for their current reality and instead open the door and go forward to achieve growth.” And their affection with one another, their vulnerability and emotional openness in their lives and in their lyrics, strikes me as more grown-up and masculine than all the frantic and perpetual box-checking and tone-policing that American boys force themselves and their peers to do. It looks like the future.

“There is this culture where masculinity is defined by certain emotions, characteristics. I’m not fond of these expressions,” Suga tells me. “What does being masculine mean? People’s conditions vary day by day. Sometimes you’re in a good condition; sometimes you aren’t. Based on that, you get an idea of your physical health. And that same thing applies mentally. Some days you’re in a good state; sometimes you’re not. Many pretend to be okay, saying that they’re not ‘weak,’ as if that would make you a weak person. I don’t think that’s right. People won’t say you’re a weak person if your physical condition is not that good. It should be the same for the mental condition as well. Society should be more understanding.”

When I hear these words in October 2020, from my house in a country whose leader is actively trying to make the case that only the weak die of COVID-19, well, it sounds like the future, too.

IF YOU ARE JUST NOW CONSIDERING GETTING INTO BTS, IT IS natural to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff. It’s a bit like saying, right this second, “Let’s see what Marvel Comics is all about.” In the streaming age, BTS have sold more than twenty million physical units across fourteen albums. Their multi-album concept cycles, The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Love Yourself, and Map of the Soul, have unfolded over multiple records and EPs. There are collaborations with brands, including a BTS smartphone with Samsung. There is a series of short films and music videos, called BU, or BTS Universe, and an animated universe called BT21, in which they’re all represented by gender-neutral avatars. Their fan base, known as ARMY, is a global cultural movement unto itself.

“Dynamite,” their first English-language single and their first American number one, is pure, ecstatic pop. Shiny and joyful. What sets them apart from many of their peers, and many of the pop acts who achieved worldwide fame before them, is what came earlier. Beneath the sheen and the beats has always been an unflinching examination of human emotion. Their lyrics seek to challenge the conventions of society—to question and even denounce them. BTS’s first single, “No More Dream,” unveiled at their debut showcase in June 2013, concerns the intense pressure South Korean schoolchildren face to conform and to succeed. According to Suga, lyrics about the mental health of young people were mostly absent in Korean pop music. “The reason I started making music is because I grew up listening for lyrics that speak about dreams, hopes, and social issues,” he tells me. “It just came naturally to me when making music.”

Suga’s early ambition of making music didn’t involve him being in a group at all. About a decade ago, in his hometown of Daegu, the fourth-largest city in South Korea, he started recording underground rap tracks under the name Gloss, listening to and learning from the early works of songwriter and producer Bang Si-hyuk, known as Hitman Bang. Bang is the founder and CEO of Big Hit Entertainment. In 2010, Suga, a junior in high school, moved to Seoul to join Big Hit as a producer and rapper. Then Bang asked him to become part of a group, envisioning a hip-hop act with fellow new Big Hit recruits RM and J-Hope. The guys call this “season one” of their development.

“At that time, I don’t think our label exactly knew what to do with us,” RM says. “They just basically let us be and we had some lessons, but we also just chilled and made music sometimes.”

It got more intense. The family grew, occasionally by accident.

V accompanied a friend to a Big Hit casting call in Daegu for moral support and ended up being the person chosen from those sessions.

Jung Kook was signed in a feeding frenzy after being dropped from the talent show Superstar K, fielding offers from numerous entertainment companies before settling on Big Hit because he was impressed by RM’s rapping.

Jimin was a dance student and class president for nine years running at his school in Busan; he auditioned at the behest of his teacher.

And then, to hear him tell it, Jin got picked up off the street. “I was just going to school,” he says. “Someone from the company approached me, like, ‘Oh, this is my first time seeing anyone that looked like this.’ He suggested having a meeting with me.”

“Season two is when we officially underwent hard training,” J-Hope says. “We started dancing, and that’s how I would say our team building started.”

School in the daytime, training at night. “We slept during classes,” V says.

“I slept in the practice studio,” J-Hope counters.

Hitman Bang kept the pressure comparatively low. And he encouraged the guys to write and produce their own music, to be honest about their emotions in their lyrics. Suga is on record saying that no BTS album would be complete without a track that scrutinizes society.

And yet for their new album, Be, they’re putting that aside. Even this has a greater purpose that relates to mental wellness: RM, the group’s main rapper, says, “I don’t think this album will have any songs that criticize social issues. Everybody is going through very trying times right now. So I don’t think there will be any songs that will be that aggressive.”

Though the new rules of COVID-19 mean they can’t come here and promote Be, its first single might not have happened in the first place but for the pandemic. “ ‘Dynamite’ wouldn’t be here if there was no COVID-19,” says RM. “For this song, we wanted to go easy and simple and positive. Not some, like, deep vibes or shadows. We just wanted to go easy.”

Jin agrees. “We were trying to convey the message of healing and comfort to our fans.” He pauses. “World domination wasn’t actually our plan when we were releasing ‘Dynamite.’ ” World domination just happens sometimes. You get it.

MAP OF THE SOUL ONE AIRED VIA THEIR ONLINE FAN PLATFORM and attracted almost a million viewers across 191 countries. The guys say they tried not to think about the enormousness. J-Hope adds, “I felt a little bit more nervous knowing that this was being broadcast live. I actually feel less nervous performing live at a stadium.” Jin replies with a smile, “J-Hope, born to perform at a stadium.”

The graphic layout of the title throws a colon between the final N and E, which makes it look like Map of the Soul On: E, and as I watch it live, as I do in my office at 3:00 a.m. with noise-canceling headphones and a steaming pot of coffee, it feels a lot like I’m watching Map of the Soul on E. It is an explosion of color and fashion and passion, over four gigantic stages, from the boozy swagger of “Dionysus” to the emo-trap introspection of “Black Swan.” Not a step, not a gesture, not a hair is out of place. If there were nerves, they didn’t come through.

There is also, at the end of Map of the Soul One, an intimate version of their 2017 track “Spring Day,” which encapsulates what’s really made BTS stand out. On the surface, it’s about nonspecific love and loss, about yearning for the past. “I think that song really represents me,” says Jin. “I like to look to the past and be lost in it.”

Fair enough, but there is an undeniable allusion, in both the song’s video and its cover concept, to a specific incident in recent South Korean history. “Spring Day” was released just a few years after the sinking of the Sewol ferry, one of the country’s biggest maritime disasters, in which a poorly inspected, overloaded ferry toppled in a sharp right turn. Hundreds of high school students drowned, having obeyed orders to stay in their cabins as the boat was going down. According to some reports, the South Korean government actively tried to silence entertainers who spoke out against it, with the Korean Ministry of Education fully banning the tragedy’s commemorative yellow ribbons in schools. I ask whether it was about a specific sad event, and Jin tells me, “It is about a sad event, as you said, but it is also about longing.” The song kept the disaster front of mind for young Koreans and for the media, indirectly leading to the impeachment and removal of then president Park Geun-hye.

If an overburdened, undermaintained, slow-moving vessel capsizing because of a reckless rightward turn strikes you as somehow symbolic of the country in which BTS are about to explode even further, you won’t hear it from them. “We’re outsiders—we can’t really express what we feel about the United States,” says V. But their actions speak volumes; in the wake of the George Floyd murder and subsequent protests in America, the group made a $1 million donation with Big Hit Entertainment to Black Lives Matter, one that was matched by BTS ARMY.

The fans offer a fascinating inversion of stan culture: Rather than bullying rivals like many other ardent online fan bases do, ARMY have put the positive message of the music into action. Their activism goes deep. Through micro-donations, they’ve regrown rain forests, adopted whales, funded hundreds of hours of dance classes for Rwandan youth, and raised money to feed LGBTQ refugees around the world. Where pop fans a generation ago might have sent teddy bears or cards to their idols for their birthdays, where five years ago they might have promoted a hashtag to get a video’s YouTube viewer count up, for RM’s twenty-sixth birthday in September, international fan collective One in an Army raised more than $20,000 for digital night schools to improve rural children’s access to education during the COVID-19 crisis. ARMY may have even entered the conversation around the 2020 presidential election when hundreds of thousands of Tulsa Trump rally tickets got snapped up online in June. The event’s actual attendance was pathetically low. No particular person or entity claimed credit for this top-notch trolling, but a video urging BTS fans to RSVP to that rally did get hundreds of thousands of views. We have no choice but to stan this fan base.

The relationship is intense. “We and our ARMY are always charging each other’s batteries,” RM says. “When we feel exhausted, when we hear the news all over the world, the tutoring programs, and donations, and every good thing, we feel responsible for all of this.” The music may have inspired the good works, but the good works inspire the music. “We’ve got to be greater; we’ve got to be better,” RM continues. “All those behaviors always influence us to be better people, before all this music and artist stuff.”

Yet for every devoted member of BTS ARMY, there is someone who’s looked right past BTS. Jimmy Fallon, whose Tonight Show hosted the group for a full week this past fall, was one of those people. “Usually if an artist is on the rise, I hear about them ahead of time. With BTS, I knew they had crazy momentum, and I’d never heard of them.”

Here’s a thought that used to be funny to me: There were members of the live audience of The Ed Sullivan Showon February 9, 1964, who weren’t there to see the Beatles. Elvis was in the Army, Buddy Holly was gone, and the three number-one albums in the months before Meet the Beatles! were an Allan Sherman comedy record, the West Side Story original cast recording, and Soeur Sourire: The Singing Nun. America had left rock ’n’ roll behind for the moment, and with the culture aimless and fragmented, it wasn’t quite sure what to pick up in its place. It is possible to imagine that a youngish, reasonably hip, and culturally aware human being might cop a ticket to that week’s show, settle into his seat, and say, “Bring on a medley of numbers from the Broadway musical Oliver! and banjo sensation Tessie O’Shea.”

The instinct is to laugh at that guy, and it’s a good instinct, because what a dope.

And then you become that guy.

Sometimes there is a whole universe alongside your own, bursting with color you’re too stubborn to see, bouncing with joy you think is for someone else, with a beat you thought you were finished dancing to. BTS are the biggest thing on the planet right now, yet the job of introducing them to someone new, particularly in America, seems like it’s never done. Maybe it’s because they are adored by screaming teenagers and we live in a society patriarchal enough to forget that screaming teenagers are nearly always right. Maybe it’s the cultural divide, in a moment when our country is unashamed enough of its own xenophobia to get openly bent out of shape when it has to press 1 for English. Maybe it’s the language barrier, as though we understood a single word Michael Stipe sang before 1989.

Whatever the reason, the result is that you might be missing out on a paradigm shift and a historic moment of pop greatness.

IF BTS SEEM A BIT CAUTIOUS WITH THEIR WORDS PUBLICLY, IT’S because—perhaps more than any other massive pop act in history—they have to be. Shortly after our second meeting, BTS were given the General James A. Van Fleet Award by the U. S.–based Korea Society for their outstanding contributions to advancing relations between the United States and Korea. In his acceptance speech, RM said, “We will always remember the history of pain that our two nations shared together, and the sacrifices of countless men and women,” as seemingly diplomatic and innocuous a statement as he could have made. But because he didn’t mention the Chinese soldiers who died in the Korean War, it didn’t go over well. The Samsung BTS smartphone disappeared from Chinese e-commerce platforms, Fila and Hyundai pulled ads in China that featured the group, the nationalistic newspaper Global Times accused them of hurting Chinese citizens’ feelings and negating history, and the hashtags “BTS humiliated China” and “there are no idols that come before my country” began trending on the social-media site Weibo. The pressure is not small.

Even as the number-one pop group in the world, even with their hard work day in and day out, even with tens of millions of adoring fans redefining the concept of “adoring fans” by literally healing the planet in their name, these guys still suffer from impostor syndrome. RM explains, “I’ve heard that there’s this mask complex. Seventy percent of so-called successful people have this, mentally. It’s basically this: There’s this mask on my face. And these people are afraid that someone is going to take off this mask. We have those fears as well. But I said 70 percent, so I think it’s very natural. Sometimes it’s a condition to be successful. Humans are imperfect, and we have these flaws and defects. And one way to deal with all this pressure and weight is to admit the shadows.”

The music helps. “When we write the songs and lyrics, we study these emotions, we are aware of that situation, and we relate to that emotionally,” J-Hope says. “And that’s why when the song is released, we listen to it and get consolation from those songs as well. I think our fans also feel those emotions, maybe even more than us. And I think we are a positive influence on each other.”

If there’s one thing they’re sacrificing, besides free time and the ability to speak freely without the Chinese foreign ministry releasing an official statement, it’s a love life. I ask about dating, broad questions like “Are you?” and “Is there time?” and “Can you?” and the answer to all of them is pretty clear: “No.” “The most important thing for us now is to sleep,” Jung Kook insists. Suga follows right up with “Can you see my dark circles?” I cannot, because there are none, because flawless skin translates even over Zoom when there’s an ocean between us.

So they’re not, at least publicly, having romantic relationships with anyone. If there is a strong relationship that’s guided their journey into adulthood, it’s with Big Hit. “Our company started with twenty to thirty people, but now we have a company with so many employees,” RM says. “We have our fans, and we have our music. So we have a lot of things that we have to be responsible for, to safeguard.” He considers it for a moment. “I think that’s what an adult is.”

“Our love life—twenty-four hours, seven days a week—is with all the ARMYs all over the world,” RM adds.

In a world that is determined to sand down anything that isn’t immediately recognizable to the average pop-music fan, when it comes to acquainting you with Korean culture, BTS very much do not wanna hold your hand. While the first song on night one of their Tonight Show week was a joyous but expected take on “Dynamite” with Fallon and the Roots, they took some chances during their second performance.

As a friend of mine, a thirty-three-year-old BTS fan in Los Angeles, told me, “The second song they performed was ‘IDOL,’ ” from 2018’s Love Yourself: Answer, “and it celebrated their Korean identity. They performed it in Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul. They wore clothes inspired by traditional dresses called hanboks;it was almost entirely in Korean, so it felt super subversive. As a fan, I read it as: ‘Dynamite’ was an invitation, and this is who we are and this is our home.”

“I was a little concerned that people might not understand,” Fallon says. “I was like, ‘There’s nothing in English here.’ But what you see is just pure star power. Pure talent. Immediately, I thought, Oh, this is everything. If you’re that powerful, it transcends language.”

American popular music in the twenty-first century is more fragmented than it has been since . . . well, since Allan Sherman, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, and the Singing Nun battled for that number-one spot. The monoculture that the Beatles helped bring on has breathed its last breath. Each of us is the program director for our own private radio station, letting our own past habits and streaming-service algorithms serve up something close to what we want. Which is great, except that huge moments can whiz right past our ears. Each of us, even if we’re more clued in than our parents were when they were our age, can miss some era-defining, excellent shit. Particularly if the radio is our Spotify Discover Weekly, or the Pandora channel based on the band whose T-shirts we wore in college. We can let a moment pass us by if prime time is a Netflix binge, and the Tonight Show hour is spent on one more episode before bed. But we shouldn’t. “Honestly, I think it’s history that we’re living through with BTS,” Fallon says. “It’s the biggest band I’ve seen since I’ve started late night, definitely.”

THERE IS ALSO THE SMALL DETAIL THAT, UNLIKE THE BEATLES AND literally every other worldwide sensation to break in America, BTS don’t particularly need to go to the trouble. They are massive all over the world. Thanks to the recent IPO of Big Hit Entertainment, of which each member is a partner, they are all now incredibly wealthy. (Hitman Bang is the first South Korean entertainment mogul to become a billionaire.) What good is a culture in decline to a pop act this much on the ascent? “When I dreamed of becoming an artist, I listened to pop and watched all the awards shows in the United States. Being successful and being a hit in the U. S. is, of course, such an honor as an artist,” says Suga. “I feel very proud of that.”

They’re breaking out in a country that either worships them or fails to notice them. So do they feel like they’re getting enough respect in America? “How can we win everyone’s respect?” Jin asks. “I think it’s enough to get respect from people who support us. It’s similar everywhere else in the world. You can’t like everyone, and I think it’s enough to be respected by people who really love you.”

Suga agrees. “You can’t always be comfortable, and I think it’s all part of life. Honestly, we are not used to getting a ton of respect from when we first started out. But I think that gradually changes, whether it be in the States or other parts of the world, as we do more and more.”

There is, without a doubt, one colossal, unmistakable sign of respect for a musician: a Grammy. They’ve been nominated only once, and even then it was for best recording package. But their sights are set on a big one next year. RM puts it out there: “We would like to be nominated and possibly get an award.” Dragging the hoary, backward-looking, and Western-focused Grammys into the gorgeous, global world of the present through sheer force of will, talent, and hard work? Stranger things have happened. “I think the Grammys are the last part, like the final part of the whole American journey,” he says with a smile. “So yeah, we’ll see.”

The Recording Academy’s seal of approval is one thing. But BTS have already conquered the world, clowned tyrants, inspired individual fans to perform the small and achievable acts of activism that have collectively begun to save the planet, challenged toxic masculinity by leading with vulnerability, and, along the way, become bajillionaires and international idols. Whether the Grammys are paying attention matters about as much as what an Ed Sullivan audience member expected to see that night in 1964. BTS have already won.

SUGAR HIGH, chapter viii. (w. JJK)

You're not entirely sure when it happened, though you'd come to terms with it. You'd counted the days, waiting for the inevitable. You'd truly thought you'd be okay, but by the broken, half-beating thing in your chest - you knew you'd never really been prepared.

chapter 8.  Boy With Luv

You find yourself stepping out of your shell, stopping to smell the roses again.  Has life always been this sweet?

“Who are you and what’ve you done with the Soomi I know?”

You know he’s only teasing but somehow, you’re blushing scarlet, apples of your cheeks turning as red as their namesake.

“‘You need to get out more,’” you answer verbatim, even adopting the low rasp of Yejin’s. You realize you sound more like Batman but run with it anyway, small hand shielding your mouth in some sort of makeshift voice changer. “‘You’re going to keep mopping around until you put yourself out there. And I don’t mean with the boys.’”

Hoseok is scandalized, his expression morphing into one that screams ‘how dare she!’ and ‘what the hell!’ in equal parts.

“Yah - you tell her to respect her elders!”

The way he says it makes you think Seokjin’s been parroting the same phrase around the apartment and it’s now drilled into the dancer’s brain.

“She’ll tell you off.” Spoken sagely and yet so very matter-of-fact. It didn’t matter that he was beloved by millions or her older - Yejin mocked him like he was her little brother. No one was spared.

Something about growing up in America, she’d say.

“Whatever,” he huffs before the sound is descending into a laugh, feet shifting until he’s knocking into your hip. “If it got you here, then I don’t mind.”

Here being a dance studio. A place he’d normally never catch you, unless dragged along by your over eager best friend or as a patient observer.

This time, you were here of your own accord. You’d even cracked a joke about inheriting Hoseok’s dance skills by osmosis, asking for a good luck sweatband.

(You’d tried not to cringe when he’d slipped it over your head, only marginally relieved when he insisted it was new.)

“You’ll have fun. I promise.” You don’t lock pinkies and you don’t press kisses to your thumbs, sealing it in forever, but you still believe him. He would never lead you astray, that much you knew. He’d maybe make you trip over your own two feet or blow a lung from exhaustion, but you’d be giggling the whole time.

You try to shake the nerves, will them away from the tips of your fingers. It’s hard when there’s a handful of people around you, all eagerly drawn by the chance to dance with Jung Hoseok.

Honestly, you probably owe him a flat of Sprite after this. And a jar of your dad’s kkakdugi.

"Okay, now that everyone is warmed up, let's get ready to begin."  You've never heard him like this, authoritative yet gentle, his words a warm reassurance as he settles beside you.  "We'll be going through the chorus of ON.  We'll be jumping right in on count eight and land on one." 

The way he moves should be illegal, the grace with how he runs through the motions a god-given gift.  Even the simple act of bracing arms over one another - right above left - and jumping, feet spread wide, is done with a practiced ease you could never manage.  The rotation of his arms is hypnotizing, a forelock of slate grey catching beneath the light as he readjusts in a single, fluid motion.  You're not quite sure if his eyes are even open or if this is as easy as breathing.

He'd been guiding your group so easily that you'd nearly forgotten he was speaking.  "Soomi-ya, you need to do it too,"  he chides sweetly, breaking the spell. 

"Oh, right.  Sorry."   

"It's fine, just relax.  Pretend it's just us."

So you do, doing your best to memorize the patterns he taps out and the direction of his arms.  It's harder than you remember, but maybe that's your nerves.  Still, you try, apologizing around laughter when you accidentally drag yourself in the opposite direction, swinging your arms into the crags of Hoseok's shoulders. 

You let the warmth radiate through your body and when your lungs are on fire, you push harder (and remind yourself to do some more goddamn cardio).

You're dying.  You have to be.  There's no other explanation for the way you're laying on the floor, what used to be your legs but you're sure are now just jelly sprawled out beneath you.  Your head is swimming and your chest is heaving but you feel oddly light, as if the air's filling you and lifting you above the immobile shape of your body.

"Stop being so dramatic."  God, he sounds like he hasn't even broken a sweat.  He doesn't even look bothered.  

You gulp once, twice, and try to speak but it comes out like a half-whine, half-groan.  "Can't.  Dying."

"Do you need water?"

If you'd been paying attention, you might've noticed the change in tone, the distinctly different voice.  

But instead, you're barely alive and reaching for the shadow of the water bottle.  Hands scramble across the surface, all but yanking the offering from a loose grip.  You manage a polite 'thank you!' before you're chugging the contents, all semblance of civility temporarily forgotten.

"Thank you, Wooram-ssi."

Your head snaps up.  Who was Hoseok speaking to?

"No problem.  I don't think a heart attack in class would go over well."  You'd laugh if you weren't so mortified.

You gape up at him for a second longer before you're throwing yourself up, ignoring the way your right knee begs to give out and steadying yourself with the help of your friend's arm.  You're certain you look like a complete mess - in fact, you can see it reflected back at you in the mirrors of the dance studio.

Baby hairs wild, ponytail no longer deserving of the name.  Pink sits on your cheeks, seemingly permanently burnt there. 

"I'm Kim Wooram."  The stranger is offering a hand and a grin.  You don't know him but you feel immediately at ease when he lays that smile on you.  He has kind eyes and a soft face, the angle of his jaw and the slope of his nose working to harden the otherwise baby-faced contours.  The piercings in his ear reflect the incandescent lights, gleaming as his head cocks to the side in curiosity.  You wonder how old he is to have been speaking to Hoseok so casually.

It takes you a moment to respond but when you do, you're quite proud of how level your voice is.  "Park Soomi."

Your hands meet and you swear you hear bells.

( 6:13pm )  paksom:  sorry i missed your call!

( 6:13pm )  paksom:  everything okay?

It hadn't been bells but the dinging of your phone, nestled into your bag and forgotten.  

( 6:15pm )  jeon jungkook:  come over?

( 6:15pm )  jeon jungkook:  we're cooking tonight

( 6:16pm )  jeon jungkook:  samgyupsal!!!!

You can practically hear his excitement through the little device, a sticker of his BT21 character popping across your screen.  

"Hobiiii."  The way you're singing his voice catches his attention and Hoseok's at your side in an instant, peering down at your phone expectantly.  "We're cooking tonight!  Let's go pick up some extra stuff on the way back."

You've definitely bought too much.  Between the two of you, you're carrying five bags or rather, he's struggling with four and you're happily trailing behind with one.  Not that you hadn't offered - you had, arguing in front of the store before you'd thrown your hands up in exasperation. 

"Can you open the door?"  He's sidestepping, allowing you access to the door handle.  The keys in your hands jingle, little acrylic KAWS figure swinging from the small set.  You turn the lock carefully before edging in, the welcome aromas of fat and spice wrapping you in a warm hug before you're consumed in real, physical heat, the smallest member somehow engulfing you.

"Hi, Jiminie."  The greeting is lost in the collar of his sweater as he squeezes you.  "You should help Hobi-oppa with the groceries."

All at once, you're able to breathe again, Jimin having released you in favour of taking two bags off his hyung's hands.  So eager to help, you think.  "What did you get?

Scratch that.  Just hungry.

"A bunch of random stuff we thought everyone might like.  I bought squid for osam-bulgogi, since you like seafood now, right?"  He'd mentioned it in a V Live recently but he's still surprised, the biggest smile stretching his perfect lips.  You can't help but return the expression of joy, proud in being able to bring such delight to one of your favourite people.  "I also brought a bunch of banchan I made earlier this week.  And soju and makgeolli!"

"And kkakdugi, but that's mine!"  It's a booming proclamation as the three of you shuffle into the kitchen, goodies dropped unceremoniously on the kitchen counter and everyone's attention now caught.

"You didn't have to bring so much stuff!"  Seokjin, flabbergasted as snacks spill out and a glossy green bottle nearly rolls off the edge of the island.

"Welcome back."  Namjoon, from his seat, headphones around his neck as he taps away at his laptop.

"Yes, I did!  A guest can't come empty-handed."  Both of you know you're right but neither you nor Seokjin relent, huffing adorably at each other.  He breaks first, turning his attention to the things he needs to immediately start preparing and instructing Jimin to put away anything else.  Watching them, it truly is like being among family.  It makes you feel fuzzy inside as you take a seat beside Bangtan's leader, dragging your attention from the now-bickering members - something about 'that's not the right place!'  - to survey the apartment.  "I saw you guys last week."

Namjoon doesn't even look up when he answers, "No, you saw us on Wednesday.  It's now Saturday of the following week."  

You almost snort, giving him a heavy dose of side-eye.  "Joonie-oppa, are you my abeoji?"  

It's clear he isn't expecting that when he nearly knocks his headphones off with the force in which he turns to you.  "Yah!  It's not me.  Jungkook--"

And then there are hands on his shoulders, long fingers tensing and pressing perhaps a little too hard.  The maknae has appeared out of nowhere, seemingly conjured by the sound of his name.  His hair's still wet, water droplets darkening the grey of his tee shirt and dripping down the curve of his ear.

"Yes, hyung?"

"You can't just sneak up on people like that."

"I heard you say my name so I thought you were calling for me."

"No, I was telling--"

There's that subtle flex of fingers again.  You're watching the two of them like some weird tennis game, attention bouncing from one face to the other's.

"You guys are being weird."

Even weirder is the way they're refusing to meet your eyes, instead boring holes into each other's like they're going to find gold buried somewhere.  

When Namjoon finally relents, he goes back to his computer like nothing's happened and Jungkook's transferring his weight to you, arms locked comfortably around your shoulders.  You can feel the moisture from his hair sliding down your cheek and you resist the urge to pull away once it's seeping into the cotton of your top.

"Hello to you, too."  You muse, twisting your neck to meet his stare. 

"How was dance class with Hobi-hyung?" 

The chance to answer is torn from you as the man in question appears across the island, flicking the faucet on to wash his hands and assist with dinner.  He's got a great big grin on his face, cheeks puffed out like the literal cat ate the canary. 

"She did really well, though I think I'm going to be bruised from where she stepped on my foot."  A tongue wagging at you.  Had you thought he was going to give a compliment without wrapping it in mockery?  "Wooram-ssi saved her from dying at the end."

He's wiping his hands before returning to his spot, taking up the easy task of chopping carrots.  He seems so focused that you think he's done speaking, about to resume your conversation with your best friend.

"He asked for your number, by the way." 

You're not sure whether it's you or Jungkook when you tense.  What?

notes.  hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaha.  that's all I can say.  

this was a super fun chapter to write so i hope you enjoyed it as much as i did.

Even though it seems sexy at the end don’t be fooled!

[Part 1]  [Part 3] [Part 5] [Tag Yourself Here]

It was late in the morning, you had slept for twelve hours and felt ready to take on anything. Cleaning and sorting the storage room you had made a makeshift coffee table out of the top of a desk and strongboxes full of shredded paper. The room had almost become a little home for you. Deeming it time to venture into the world you decided to get dressed. Starting with the basics you picked out Koya character underwear which after a small discussion with a nameless employee on the third floor. You had figured out whose characters were whose. You had found a box labelled GFriend full of clothes that might actually fit you, dresses and skirts all in bags named. 

Rifling through some bags you found one labelled ‘Summer Rain’. Opening it to find a bunch of beautiful white dresses. Slipping one of them -that looked about your size- over your head. It was adorable. Assuming that it was supposed to be an innocent flowing style. It seemed that your breasts were a little fuller than the person it had been intended for. At least that’s how it appeared in the small bathroom mirror. Not only was the bust fitted, but the skirt also raised slightly due to your hips and bottom, which must have been a little bigger as well. Meaning the dress only reached your mid-thigh. The fabric was made out of a stretchy material and all in all, it didn’t look small but rather perfectly cut for your body. 

Looking undeniably pretty, you found shoe boxes marked with the same name. Briefly hoping the owner didn’t get upset that you were borrowing their clothes. Inside the boxes were matching white heels. Slipping on a pair your first thought was how they were super comfy like standing on tiny pillows. Giving a spin for the mirror you thought something was definitely lacking. An outfit this cute deserved some makeup. Racing to grab the small BT21 makeup you had collected into a pile days previous. You began applying the BT21 makeup trying your best to style your hair with a few pins. At least half of you wanted to look good for the boys but the other half was doing this just for your own self-esteem.

Stepping back to get the full picture, your lips pulled up into a smile. Now you felt good. “You are pretty and you look cute and no one can make you think otherwise. You are special and one of a kind. I love you and that’s the only thing that matters, everything else is a bonus.” You will admit you had adopted this technique from Seokjin who complimented himself in the mirror after every shower. Taking a few Selfies or as the boys had taught you selca’s you got a text. From your brother.

[Are you dead?] [What if I say yes?] [Seriously how long are you going to stay down there?] [I have just finished getting dressed]

One last look in the mirror and you sighed, best not to keep b/n waiting. Running along the basement corridor, you took the elevator and headed up to the cafeteria hoping to catch a late breakfast or an early lunch. They said they would be serving lunch in an hour and handed you an apple apologetically. Thanking them genuinely, you enjoyed the crisp fruit whilst slowly strolling through the floors. That would hold you until then, you were never really big on breakfast anyway. Greeting some familiar faces. Familiar meaning: you had seen them in passing more than four times, yet you still didn’t know any of their names. Perhaps you should take some time for other people. You noticed most people were wearing weird tracksuits while their clothes were being washed. Considering yourself lucky to have a secret stash of clothes. 

Continuing on the journey to the dance practice room wanting to have some fun. The full night sleep gave you so much energy. No one was inside, looking at the schedule on the door. It would be empty for half an hour. Plenty of time. 

The floorboards made a familiar sound as you crossed and seeing yourself in full in the mirror on the walls made you smile throwing up a peace sign. This was all nostalgic and had you reliving long nights in the studio dancing routines over and over. Plugging your phone into the stereo you searched for an old dance playlist, once found you selected a warm-up song. It was one you always used. An old routine you performed your stretches to targeting your arms back and legs. The bridge hit and your body was warm and buzzing ready to start a dance. Quickly switching to something a little more upbeat, you began another familiar routine. Dancing hit after hit until your brother stepped into the room. Pausing you turned to him getting ready to pack up and leave. 

“Keep going, we don’t start for another five minutes” he gestured as he went over to your phone, his students stepped in. Filing in one after the other you stopped dancing feeling that it would be time for you to leave “Hey, you remember the routine to this one?”

B/n played you something that had your muscles moving before you could control it, “Yeah! There you go!” He paused the music “you kids want to see the masters at work?”

“Your old teacher, save it” The kids laughed. It must have been pretty hard being stuck in the building away from their families. “That sounds like a challenge, brother, let’s show these kids how it’s done!” the kids laughed oohing and causing a general commotion from the back of the room. Nodding to your brother who set up a camera hitting record. You did a couple of last-minute stretches as the music started. He joined you for the dance and you watched the kids’ mouths fall open. 

(I made this Gif from a 1million dance studio video the dance is ‘sorry, not sorry’)

The kids seemed to enjoy it. Each one looked more energized and ready to dance. Grabbing your things and heading out of the room with a wave. You checked the door for the next empty spot but decided to just take a picture of the schedule. Feeling like you were up in the clouds as you were skipping down the hallway. Giddy from your first real dance in a long time, in front of a crowd too. 

Spinning as you went, not noticing Hoseok step out of the elevator until the last minute. Trying to stop, digging your feet into the ground, torso flying forward. Toppling over him, you worried about Hoseok. Slipping your hand behind his head and tilting your knees out to avoid his crotch area seconds before you landed. You didn’t want to be the reason the guy couldn’t have children. But in doing this you were now chest to chest while straddling him. 

“Nice underwear,” Namjoon whistled. Squealing and rolling off of Hoseok you pulled the back of the dress down. Mortified beyond belief you flopped back onto the ground and covered your eyes, feeling someone stepping over you, voice calling from above. “Come on don’t be shy, it’s cute that you are wearing our underwear?”

“You know it’s not by choice” hands pried your arms away from your face. Revealing Namjoon who squatted over you one of his boots either side of your waist. Tilting his head to the side, looking down at your figure before actually helping you up. 

“Miss y/l/n” a soft voice spoke, Namjoon turned, stepping back so you could see around his towering form at a young teenage boy his English was broken but adorable “you left your headphones on the stereo, and um… your dance was amazing”

“Thank you” reaching out to grab the headphones, a hand grabbed them before you. Namjoon thanked the boy rather seriously, his face looked a little much. The boy ran off, turning to the guys curiously, “he must be nervous around big stars like you guys”

“Yeah that was definitely why he ran away” Jin rolled his eyes. Watching Namjoon hand you the headphones with a smile. The boys were so nice to their fans and strangers. It was nice to see celebrities who didn’t let the fame get to their heads.

“Y/n I am bored, can we play a game?” Taehyung wrapped his arms around you, his head resting on your shoulder. With anyone else, you would question what exactly this meant but you knew it didn’t mean anything romantically inclined. The boys were just super friendly and being quarantined in a building together, they didn’t have many people their age who don’t already work for them to make friends with. You had seen the way they were treated it was all business, every time they tried to approach someone their first words were, ‘what do you need?’ ‘how can I help?’ Not that they didn’t hang out with other employees. You were different from the others, a friend, at least you hoped they thought of you as a friend.

“There is a board game in the basement we can bring upstairs. If we look around there might be other games down there as well,” accompanied by Taehyung and Hoseok the two were excited to explore the basement some more. 

You were shuffling through the pile for the board game you had placed there a day or two ago when you heard Hoseok laughing, “Hey Tae look what I found” glancing over your shoulder thinking it might have been another board game, your blood ran cold however when he held up a small box. It was from the bag of things you had requested from the supply centre.

“Ah wait no, those are mine” launching across the room and snatching it from Hoseok.  “Yours, oh... I’m sorry” Hoseok stopped lost in thought, he felt a little upset that you hadn’t told them you were taken. Worried he might think you were someone you were not, you stammered out an explanation. He watched your mouth open and close for a few seconds and he chuckled. He liked when you were flustered, he didn’t know why but it was endearing.

“Well they aren’t all mine” You clarified and his eyebrows pulled together confused, “I asked the supply people to throw them in, in case anyone was getting a little intimate, but I forgot to hand them over” Taehyung snatched the box from behind your back, “it’s open, have you been using them?” He waved the box at you laughing. 

“No, I asked them to mix and match sizes and styles. So we opened some other packets and got a bunch of different sizes and styles and put them back inside that box. The green ones are latex-free, I don’t know what people prefer and it would suck getting intimate and then realizing that you don’t have your size”

“Hey, they have our size in here” Taehyung grinned held up a foil packet and you wished you hadn’t noticed the XL on the blue square because now it haunted you. You knew when night came and you were trying to sleep, all you will be able to think about is their sizes. “Jin, Namjoon and I are the same so that’s good” 

“Cool...” You mumbled confused on what an appropriate response to that statement would be. Had he not realised you were right there? He noticed your odd expression and lent down wiggling his eyebrows.  “You don’t believe me?” 

Clearing your throat and trying to snatch the box back. He was quick, taking a few from the box. Before reaching up to place it on top of the lockers against the wall. “When you need them just ask and we will get them down for you?” He winked. Hoseok was laughing at your expression and the two grinned, distributing condoms between them. 

“Or if you need them a little urgently you can always come to see us directly we will make sure to give the other boys some too,” Hoseok said feigning seriousness. What did this mean? This couldn’t be an invitation. They were celebrities and you were no one. It wasn’t like that, they were just friendly and playful. Reminding yourself once more that you wouldn’t even talk to each other if not for the quarantine and you knew they had been hanging out with a few other employees so you weren’t special. Hoseok smiled holding the board game and Taehyung had found a stack of regular playing cards and you followed the boys out of the room. 

Pouting the whole way down the corridor and following them into the elevator. The journey to the cafeteria felt like it took forever. Over lunch, you started a game of monopoly. People came to watch the game each finding the ordeal very amusing as this was the only source of entertainment lately. Jungkook won causing the other boys to groan. The group started packing up ready to head upstairs. You went to escape, thinking of stealing a ladder from the maintenance room and getting the box down when Jungkook placed his arm around you. Saying you were his trophy and leading you away.

Jungkook walked you straight into their meeting room “what should we play now?” “Poker,” Slipping out from under Jungkook’s arm and racing behind Taehyung. You reached into his back pockets. His eyes went wide, “and we are playing with these” you pulled the foil packets from Taehyung's back pocket and threw them on the coffee table they all stared at them “Hoseok you too?”

He raised his hands in surrender pulling out the rest from his pocket, after sorting them and giving each coloured packet a price the game began. Being good at bluffing the only person who was a challenge was Yoongi who gave nothing away. The game was lengthy and you watched the boys nervously eyeing the packets as they each lost. Everyone was out except Namjoon and yourself. Currently playing all-in, you had a straight and was feeling pretty good though you bit your lip in feigned nervousness trying to bluff Namjoon who was playing numbers and odds in his head.

“Okay, I’m all in,” Namjoon said looking up with a smile. You hated that smile it meant he knew he won the round. The others looked nervous at their leader huddled around his shoulders.  “come on you got to win them back,” Jimin said with a look of desperation that had you curious, who were they planning to sleep with that they needed condoms anyway.

Showing your cards, Namjoon grinned revealing his much better hand taking the collection. They cheered and you hummed “alright you are making me desperate, I will play my secret stash” you reached down the neck of the dress into your bra and between the fabric were the soft cup sat you pulled out a ‘for her’ studded and ribbed condom. Hesitating you stared at the pretty pink foil packaging it was the only one of its kind in this building. “And if you take this from me I am going to be pissed”

You threw it onto the table and Namjoon’s mouth split as they examined the packet, Hoseok read it out loud and they deliberated and nodded placing it on the table. “Alright, love one last game” Namjoon grinned running his thumb under his bottom lip gazing at you amused as Yoongi dealt the cards.

Title: BT21 or Bust

KIM SEOKJIN

“Daddy!” You looked up, pausing in reading the bedtime story, as your daughter yelled out excitedly at the sight of her father walking into the bedroom. 

Jin had obviously just gotten back, his black mask still looped over his ears, draped beneath his chin, his clothes rumpled and worn from being on the plane for so long, his suitcase still in his hand. Dropping the bag at his feet, he offered you a tired smile, before crossing the room to your daughter, who was bouncing excitedly on her knees in the bed, hands outstretched toward him. 

He kissed the top of her head, and even though his tone was fatigued, he hid it well for his daughter, his voice just as normal, excited to see her as he exclaimed, “There’s my girl. How are you, princess?” 

Scooping your daughter into his arms, Jin nuzzled his nose into her neck, making her giggle as she squirmed to get away from the tickles, peppering kisses all over her cheeks and nose and face as she asked in excitement, “Daddy, daddy! You’re back! Did you bring me a present?!” 

You rolled your eyes slightly, and he grinned at you over the top of her dark head of hair, as you shook your head slightly at him and returned the gesture. He was putty in her hands. Of course he had brought her a present from his trip. 

“Of course I did, princess.” He said, settling her back down onto the bed, and as she scurried to dive back under her covers, he pointed at her, sternly saying, “But cover your eyes. And hold out your hands. No peaking!” 

When she had done as he said, giggling slightly behind her fingers that were clenched haphazardly over her eyes, he crossed the room back to his suitcase and pulled out something, holding it behind his back as he came back over to your daughter, breath held in anticipation, as she held out her hands. 

“Okay. Ready?” Jin asked, a slight smile crossing his full lips, as your daughter nodded enthusiastically. Reaching out, he placed the present in her hands, and as soon as it touched her fingers, she squealed, opening her eyes. 

“Daddy! AN RJ! How did you know he’s my favorite??” Your daughter hugged the large stuffed alpaca to her chest and pressed kisses all over his furry head, as Jin glanced over at you, shooting you a slight grin and wink. 

“I don’t know. Just a hunch.” He said, his tone filled with amusement, as he looked at first the RJ bedding covering his daughter’s bed, and then to the posters and knick knacks on every other empty surface of the room, all representing a certain alpaca. 

Standing, you stretched, leaning over to give your daughter a kiss on the head as you said warningly, “Now, promise me, no playing with RJ tonight. Just go to sleep and you can play tomorrow, okay?” 

Nodding, you followed Jin out of the room, shutting the door softly behind you. Turning to face him, he rubbed a hand across his face, the tiredness coming back across his face as you put your arms around his neck and leaned up to press a gentle kiss to his lips, as you said softly, “Hi.” 

“Hi.” He smiled down at you, leaning down to kiss you again, a soft sigh escaping his lips at the contact. 

“Did you bring me something too?” You asked cheekily, grinning up at him. 

“What? Why?” He asked, slightly offended, as he teased you. “You live with the actual human representation of RJ. You have me. Kim Seokjin. The man himself. What else could you possibly need?!” 

You laughed, and pulled him toward the bedroom, glad he was finally back home. 

MIN YOONGI

Your husband came into the living room, throwing himself down on the couch, slouching into the thick cushions with a long sigh and a groan, as he leaned his head back, closing his eyes. 

You glanced over at him from where you were playing with your toddler daughter on the floor, and smiled to yourself. He was so cute when he was tired. “Long day, baby?” 

“Ugh. The longest.” He rolled his head to look at you, cracking his eyes open beneath his damp, newly showered hair, as he frowned slightly, his full lips pulling down, and whined out, “Hoseok had us practicing that new routine nonstop. He’s like a drill sergeant when he gets going. He never stops.” 

Leaning forward, you kissed your daughter’s soft forehead, inhaling her scent for a moment, as she looked up at you, a smile so much like her father’s gracing her miniature features. Reaching for the remote, you turned the TV on, changing the channel until you found the cartoons, and pushed yourself up from the floor, crossing the room to sit beside Yoongi’s prostrate form lounging on the couch. 

“Sorry, baby.” You sympathized, pushing his wet hair back off his forehead, as his dark eyes flickered over to you. You smiled at him, leaning over to press a kiss to his forehead, just like you had done moments before with your daughter. 

“Ugh.” He groaned again, and you looked up to see him looking at the cartoon that was playing on the TV, as he said in disgust, “Baby. Why do you let her watch this? Its embarrassing.” 

You watched the BT21 characters dance across the screen, complete with jaunty music, and then grinned at him, reaching out to stroke your fingers down the side of his face as you teased, “Ah, come on, baby. It’s cute. And she likes it. Look.” 

You both looked over at your daughter, who was dancing along with the characters on the TV screen. 

Sighing heavily, Yoongi pushed himself up from the couch and crossed the room to her, sitting down beside her cross legged. You leaned back on the couch, watching as he pulled his daughter into his lap, and as she laughed at her father, he looked down at her, affection clear in his eyes as he pointed at the TV screen and then asked her, “Which one is your favorite, mini? Hmmm? Which character?” 

You grinned to yourself, as she looked between her father and the TV screen several times, and although her father looked relatively relaxed waiting for her answer, you knew he was tense, hoping she would pick the character that he had designed. 

Finally, your daughter pointed a chubby finger at the TV and yelled out, grinning, her tiny teeth on display, “Cooky!” 

The pink rabbit, who was indeed on the screen at that point, made her giggle, and you saw Yoongi glance over his shoulder at you, slight displeasure on his face. You shrugged, and he turned back to the program, guiding his daughter’s finger toward the other character as he said innocently, “Oh, I think you mean Shooky, mini. Don’t you like Shooky?” 

You stifled a laugh behind your hand, when your daughter, shaking her head, stood up and pressed a hand against the TV, right over the pink, slightly tough looking bunny, and once again called out, “Cooky!” 

Giving up, Yoongi retreated back to the couch and, burying his face in your chest in defeat, his arms going around your waist, grumbled out, “Betrayed by my own kid. Remind me to kill Jungkook next time I see him.” 

“Okay.” You laughed out, a hand going up to stroke through his still damp locks, as he cuddled against you further, and your daughter continued to dance happily to the BT21 characters in the background. 

JUNG HOSEOK

“Okay.” You sat down next to the twins on the floor, using your husband’s legs as a back rest as you leaned against his shins, reaching for the box next to you as you said, “Wanna see what mommy bought?” 

The boys, practically humming with excitement, nodded enthusiastically at you, and you smiled at them fondly, as you made a show of pulling the large box out of the bag, turning it around so they could see what was inside. 

“BT21!” One of your sons screamed, grabbing for the box, as the other twin tried to wrestle it from his hands. There was a brief scuffle, and then they figured out how to open it, dumping the group of toys into the floor at their feet in a jumbled pile. 

“Whoa, whoa. Take it easy. Don’t break them right out of the box.” You cautioned, holding out a hand to stop the boys from ripping into the figures immediately. 

“I’ll admit, those are pretty cool. I hadn’t seen the new stuff.” Hobi leaned forward, his arms going around your neck, as he rested his chin on the top of your head, looking down at the characters on the floor. 

“Okay.” You pointed to one of the twins. “You go first. Pick one. And then we can talk about it.” 

Your son reached forward, his brother waiting impatiently for his turn, and picked out a figure, holding it up for you and Hobi to see. You felt Hobi grin his customary smile, his lips moving lightly against your hair, and then he asked, “You know this one! Who is it?” 

“Koya!” The twin called out excitedly, holding the koala figurine aloft proudly.  “He’s a koala. And he’s Uncle Namjoon’s friend!” 

“Good.”  You clapped your hands, letting your other son pick next. 

He held up the smaller figure of Shooky, and looked at the cookie for a moment, biting his lip, his features so much like his father’s, before he said, “This is Shooky. He’s a cookie. And he’s Uncle Yoongi’s cookie.” 

“What about this one?” Your other son couldn’t wait for his brother to be finished, holding up the action figure designed by his father, waving it excitedly in the air as he jumped to his feet. 

You laughed, reaching up to cover one of Hobi’s hands with your own, as you said, a twinkle in your eye, “Oh. That’s a special one. It’s also mommy’s favorite!” 

Hobi squeezed the arms that still lay around your shoulders in a gesture of hidden affection at your words, pressing a kiss to your temple, before he motioned to your son. He handed his father the figurine, and he twirled it around in his fingers, before he gave it back, saying calmly, but excitement bubbling behind his words, “Okay. Who’s that?” 

“Mang.” Your son didn’t even hesitate, looking down at the horse figurine held in his small hand. “He’s a horse. And he’s daddy’s friend!” 

“That’s right!” You clapped your hands again, laughing as you tilted your head back to look up at Hobi, who was grinning at his son proudly from over your head. 

“But.” Your son spoke up again, looking up at the two of your quizzically, as he continued to palm the figure of Mang. “Why is daddy’s character a horse? Is it because Uncle Tae says he looks like one?” 

Your mouth dropped open, and you reached up, stifling a laugh behind your hand as you heard Hobi huff in irritation and throw himself back against the couch behind you, as your son obliviously went back to playing with the other figurines on the floor with his brother. 

“Baby.” You laughed, trying to control your amusement as you crawled up on the couch next to him, trying to get him to look at you, his arms folded crossly across his chest. “He didn’t mean it.” 

“I know, I know.” He grumbled out, finally looking at you, his mouth drawn down in a dramatic frown, that spoke to the fact that he wasn’t actually upset, just being dramatic. “But my own son. Aiii. It’s too much.” 

You laughed, now that you realized he wasn’t being serious and wasn’t actually hurt, and leaning forward to kiss him, said seriously, “Well. You know I think you’re hot. And about Taehyung.” You shot him a wicked grin, running a finger across his lips as you did so, lowering your voice slightly so the boys wouldn’t hear. “He doesn’t have sex with you on a daily basis, so his opinion is moot, and mine is law in this situation.” 

He laughed his eyes growing bright again, and pulled you down on the couch beside him, kissing your head as he said softly, “You are so right. Thanks for the perspective, baby.” 

KIM NAMJOON

You heard a horrified shriek echo down the hallway, and then the sound of your daughters screaming at one another. Sighing heavily, you paused in folding laundry and pushed yourself up from the living room floor, making your way down the long hallway and to their shared bedroom at the end of it. 

“Girls!” You yelled out over the din of their shrieking, standing in the doorway, hands on your hips, as you surveyed the fighting sisters. “Stop that this instant!” 

“But mom!” Your older daughter yelled, still tugging at the doll held tightly in her younger sister’s unyielding hands. “She’s not allowed to play with the Koya doll! She’s going to ruin it!” 

“Will not!” Your younger daughter yelled back at her sister, pulling the doll from her grasp once again, before sticking her tongue out at the other girl. 

“That’s enough. I’ve had it with this argument.” You waved your hands at them, stomping into the room, finally out of patience. This fight had been going on all day, and you were done with it. “Give me the doll.” 

You held out your hand toward your younger daughter, who with one last glare at her sister, put the BT21 action figure into your outstretched hand. Closing your fingers around the koala, you sighed, and pushed some hair back off your forehead, looking between the two girls sternly as you said seriously, “Now, you can have this back when you can learn to play nicely. Until then, play with the other dolls. And share. Or else those will be taken away too.” 

Sighing, the sisters still slightly bristled at each other, the eldest nodded and then huffed out, “Okay, fine, mom.” 

You left the room, the Koya doll still held in your hand, and upon reaching the kitchen, sighed once again, before placing the coveted action figure on top of the fridge where neither daughter could reach it. 

Pulling out your phone, you listened for a moment, and satisfied that things were back to normal and they were playing happily again, you started to type out a quick text to your husband, who was still at the studio for the day. 

“That damn koala of yours started another fight between the girls today. Please bring home another one before I lose my mind. I might actually have to call 119 if this keeps up.” 

A rueful grin slipped across your lips at the words, and as you pressed send, you slipped your phone back into your pocket and returned to folding the laundry, the sounds of the now content girls echoing down the hallway. 

PARK JIMIN

“Jagi.” 

You looked up from the book you were reading, sitting cross legged on the couch, at your husband’s call. 

He was sitting on the floor, leaning over the baby, who was cooing and happily kicking on her back, lying on a blanket on the floor, as she waved her chubby fists at her father. He grinned down at her, seeming to have forgotten for a moment that he had called to you, and then glanced over, saying, “How much do you think babies actually understand?” 

You shrugged slightly, and then said back nonchalantly, “I dunno, babe. Why?” 

“Because with our genes, our daughter’s gotta be smarter than the average baby.” Jimin gushed, reaching out and letting your infant daughter cling to his finger as she babbled up at him. He smirked at you, and you laughed, as he said seriously, “But no. Seriously. Watch this.” 

Setting your book aside, you watched as he reached behind him, pulling out one of the stuffed BT21 characters from behind his back, and holding it, dangling, in front of the wide eyes of the baby. She squealed happily and kicked her legs, reaching up for the toy, but he kept it slightly out of her grasp as he looked over at you and said, “Okay. Now watch.” 

You nodded, telling him that you were still watching his ridiculous demonstration, your lips pulled back into the hints of a self serving smile, as you watched him cutely reach behind his back again and pull out another stuffy, his own character, Chimmy, this time around. 

Jimin held the stuffies up in front of his daughter, her eyes darting back and forth between the characters, and then without hesitation, she reached up and grabbed the Chimmy stuffed animal from her father’s hands, the toy instantly going in her mouth as she began to chew on one of the stuffed dog’s ears. 

He turned to you, his mouth forming his expression of surprise and wonder that you loved, his full lips pursed in the shape of an “o” as he pointed at your daughter, happily chewing on her prize, as he exclaimed excitedly, “See? She did it again! She always picks the Chimmy, no matter who else I hold up!” 

You grinned at his excitment, offering him a polite smattering of applause as you said in amusement, “Good job, babe. She really is a genius.” 

“Of course she is.” Jimin said, leaning back over the baby, as she looked up at him with sparkling eyes, causing him to smile down fondly at her. “She’s ours.” 

KIM TAEHYUNG

Hearing giggling coming once again from your daughter, who sat at the kitchen table with her father, supposedly doing homework, you glanced up from your cooking, and asked in a good humored tone, raising an eyebrow at the duo, “I’m hearing an awful lot of giggling over there. Are you actually working on homework?” 

“We are, mama!” Your daughter exclaimed, holding up her worksheet for you to see the neat rows of arithmetic scrawled across the page, as Tae shot you a grin from over her head. 

“Okay.” You said, still not convinced, as you smiled to yourself, turning back to the stove, warmth in your chest as you listened to your husband try to explain a problem to your young daughter. 

“All right. Let’s move on from math for a second, my brain needs a break.” Tae said, as he shuffled through your daughter’s worksheets, looking for something different to work on. “Ah ha!” He exclaimed triumphantly, holding up an art and shapes project. “Let’s do this.” 

You glanced over your shoulder, pausing, once again in cooking, to watch them secretly, quietly for a moment. Your daughter’s dark head of hair, bent over the paper, her father next to her, the same look of intense concentration on his features as they read the instructions aloud. 

“Read the description of each shape and draw it. That doesn’t seem too bad.” Tae said, as he sat back, and your daughter began to draw something on the paper in front of them. 

It was silent for several moments, the scritching of the pencil the only sound in the room, and then you heard your husband ask, “Wait. What’s this?” 

You left the stove and came to stand behind them, wiping your hands on your apron, before placing them on Tae’s shoulders and bending over to see what he was looking at. 

“It’s a heart.” Your daughter said proudly, pointing to the shape she had drawn on the page. 

“Honey, hearts don’t have all these extra things.” You said, slightly confused, as you pointed out the extras she had added around the traditional heart shape. 

She looked up at you, clearly offended, and then to her father, before she said in annoyance, “Yes they do, mama. That’s Tata’s hands, and his eyes, and....” 

You glanced down at Tae as she continued to point out the characteristics of her father’s character, and you watched as a boxy grin slid across his face the longer he listened, before he said proudly, “That makes sense to me. Tata is a heart.” 

“Yes.” Your daughter nodded, sitting back in her chair, happy that someone finally understood. “And they asked me to draw a heart. So I did.” 

JEON JUNGKOOK

Coming in through the door of your apartment, you laid your bag down on the kitchen table and kicked out of your tall heels, letting out a long sigh as you released your hair from its bun and unbuttoned the tight suit jacket you had been wearing all day. 

Walking down the hallway, you saw light coming from the cracked door of your son’s room, and you smiled softly to yourself as you approached, the sounds of Jungkook’s muted voicing drifting down the hallway to your ears. 

“Hey you two.” You said, as you pushed open the door open to the nursery. 

“Oh, hey jagi!” Your husband looked up from where he was playing with your son on the floor, the baby lying on his stomach, lifting his head on a wobbly and still unsure neck. 

“What’s our son wearing, Kook?” You asked, hiding your smile behind your hand, as you stepped into the room and glanced down at your son, who was dressed head to toe in a pink bunny suit, complete with hood and floppy ears. 

“It’s a Cooky costume. Cute, huh?” Kook picked up the baby, standing, the infant held in his arms, careful to support his head, as he offered you his bunny smile, his eyes sparkling. 

“It is pretty cute.” You laughed, reaching out to brush your fingers across your son’s tiny hand, before reaching up to push the hood, which had fallen over his eyes, away from his face. “It’s soft too.” 

“Right?” Kook agreed proudly, bouncing the baby slightly in his arms, before he said, “He’s gonna be a great boxer someday. Just like his dad and just like Cooky. Just watch, huh little man?”

The baby stared up at his father with large dark eyes, and after several moments, gave him a large, toothless smile as he cooed up at him. “Yeah, that’s right.” Kook thumbed the baby’s chin, and you grinned, as he began to bounce gently around the room on the balls of his feet, his son securely in his arms, as he mimicked the cheer of a crowd, “Cooky, Cooky, Cooky.” 

You watched them for another moment, love warm in your chest, and then you said in amusement, “Okay, you two champions. Who wants to spend some time with mommy before bed?” 

“We do!” Kook crossed the room to you, pressing a kiss to your lips, before he left the room, bouncing down the hallway, once again cheering quietly to himself, “Cooky, Cooky, Cooky!” as you followed, laughing, behind them.

Jin Scenario| Watching the ball drop on NYE together

“Y/n do you have any plans for your birthday?”

“Nothing in particular why?”

“Okay good keep it that way.” 

“Again, why? What are you planning?” You narrow your eyes at him suspiciously. 

“It’s a surprise! I wanna make sure everything works out before I tell you. Just trust me you’ll love it.” 

“Alright, Jin.” 

That was a few months ago. Your birthday is just a few days away now when Jin throws open the bedroom door. 

“Pack your shit y/n we’re leaving.”

“Wait what?”

“We’re going to New York City!”

“Are you serious?!”

“Yes! I had to make sure I could get the hotel room and everything arranged. We’ll have a perfect view of Time Square and the ball drop without being in the mix of all the chaos.” 

“Jin I don’t know what to say. I’ve always wanted to go to Time Square for New Years Eve. This is the best birthday present anyone could have given me.” You smile sweetly at him and kiss him deeply, to try and show your appreciation for what he’s done for you. Jin smiles into the kiss and wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you close to him. 

“When are we leaving?”

“Tomorrow! That’ll give us an extra day to just relax in the city.” 

“That sounds perfect! I can’t wait.”

You arrive at the hotel and it’s absolutely perfect. It has a balcony and everything and there is a perfect view of Time Square. 

“Well we’re in the city now baby what do you want to do?” You give him a mischievous smirk and he looks at you questioningly...

“I can’t believe out of all the things you wanted to do you wanted to come to the Line Store. You realize I can get you any BT21 merch you want right?” Jin laughs a little too loudly and some of the other army in the store look at the two of you. 

“Jin shush! You’re going to be recognized.” You whisper at him. He slaps a hand over his mouth even though it’s covered by a face mask. 

“Sorry! But seriously why?”

“Because it’s not the same if you get everything for me! I’ve always wanted to come here and see the statues of the characters and all the cute drawings you guys did. This is awesome!” You glance around the store and come across a really adorable Chimmy pillow. 

“This is adorable! I have to get this.” Jin looks at you offended. 

“Chimmy? Why not RJ?!”

“Because Chimmy is adorable look at his little tongue!” Jin grabs the RJ pillow and practically shoves it into your face.

“But look at RJ. He’s blushing. He's fluffy and adorable how could you betray my child like that?” He hugs the RJ pillow to his chest and glares at you. You can’t help but burst into laughter. 

“Jin I’m just messing with you. Of course I’ll get the RJ one.” You grab it from him and he can’t hold his laughter back. You see it coming and quickly grab the pillow and shove it into his face to muffle the sound of it. People are staring at you now and you look away nervously. 

“We should probably pay and get out of here.” 

“Good idea.”  You pay for the items, by some miracle not being approached or noticed by anyone. You go back to the hotel and just relax the rest of the night. The next day you decide not to leave the hotel and order room service. You glance out the balcony window and see that hordes of people are already crowded into the square to get a good view of the ball drop. 

“Wow. Okay I am so glad we got a hotel that looks insane.” 

“Me too. I couldn’t imagine being crammed in with all those people. It would be so claustro- OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED I NEVER TOLD YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY I AM A TERRIBLE BOYFRIEND!” He pulls you into a hug and attacks your face with kisses. You fall backwards onto the bed, laughing loudly as he  continues to pepper your face and neck with kisses.

“Jin! That tickles I can’t breathe stop it!” He pulls away and smiles down at you. “It’s okay! I knew you’d remember eventually. And besides you brought me here to spend my birthday that was enough. It’s okay you didn’t remember until now we’ve just woke up not that long ago.

“I should have woken you up at midnight though and sang you happy birthday.” He pouts and you poke his bottom lip and lean up to kiss it. 

“It’s okay. I promise I’m not upset.” Just then there is a  knock on your door and he moves off of you to answer it. You eat your breakfast together and spend the day watching movies and TV in your room, cuddling and just enjoying each other’s company.

When it gets closer to time for the musicians to start playing you open the balcony door and leave it open, huddled under the covers to stay warm and getting up to dance together to your favorite songs. You cracked open a bottle of wine and had been sipping on it the entire night. You were a little tipsy and your dancing became a little more sloppy as the night went on. You were a fit of giggles just before the stroke of midnight. Jin sat you down in the bed, sitting next to you with an arm around your shoulder as you rested your head on his. 

“It’s only one more minute till midnight sweetheart.” “Yeah it is. I’m so happy I get to ring in the new year with you. I can’t think of anyone I would rather spend this day with. This has been absolutely the best birthday I have ever had and it’s all because of you.” You smile and kiss his cheek. 

“10 more seconds”

“9, 8, 7..” You count down together, looking out the window at the ball and listening to all the people happily counting down to the new year. When the countdown reaches one Jin cups your face and presses his lips to yours gently. 

“Happy new year y/n.”

“Happy new year, Jin.”

BT21 Merchandise

You wear BT21 merch and he finds it adorable/ he gets you BT21 merch

Warning: gifs might not fit, I tried my best. This is my first ever posted reaction.

Seokjin

Jin loves RJ.

Jin loves you.

So when you saw you snuggled on the couch with an RJ onesie and plushie he was over the moon. Practically jumping up and down as he fanboyed over you in the onesie. Before you noticed he had arrived back from dance practice, he went into his room. Less than a minute later, he stood next to the couch, wearing the same RJ onesie. Holding an RJ plushie. Waiting for you to notice him

“If I’m RJ’s dad then you can be his mom. We can be one big alpaca family.”

Yoongi

You were having a shortage of pyjamas. You ordered some online and waited for their arrival. The day they finally arrived, you were eager to put them on. Yoongi was still at the studio, working on a project. You decided to change into your new pyjamas. You layed in bed until Yoongi walked through the door to your shared bedroom. He paused as soon as he saw what you were wearing. He’ll smile and hold you close as the two of you sleep together.

“Since when do you have that?” “Since today.”

Hoseok

You without a doubt loved Mang. The thing was, you didn’t have any BT21 merch. You were looking through the BT21 merch online. But everything looked so cute, you couldn’t decide. “Hoseok!” you called your boyfriend. When he saw you looking at the BT21 merch he asked what you were doing. You explained to him that you wanted Mang merch and you didn’t have any. Every week after that, you have something Mang related on your bed just for you.

“You don’t need to get me something every week Hobi.” “But jagi, you’d look so in this Mang sweater.”

*Him calling you over to try another Mang thing he got you.*

Namjoon

Sleeping was your favourite hobby. That said, Namjoon wanted to so eagerly get you a Koya onesie. He got one for you on the day of your birthday along with a Koya pillow. You were laying in bed, ready to sleep when he walked in with the wrapped up presents. Your face lit up at the sight inside the wrapper. The only other things you loved more than sleeping were Koya, Rapmon and then Namjoon. You put it on as soon as you open it.

“Oh MY GoD! Thank you thank you thank you!” *dimple smile* “Now let’s do as Koya would and go to sleep.”

Jimin

You had accidentally cut your finger while cooking. You had recently bought some Chimmy band-aids and decided to put them to good use. As you and Jimin were having dinner that night, he noticed the band-aid around your finger. When he noticed that there were Chimmy patterns on the plastic. He smiled at you from across the table.

“Is that a Chimmy band-aid?” “When did you buy that?” “It looks cute.”

Taehyung

You had been waiting in the living room with Yeontan for Taehyung. The two of you in Tata outfits. Tata plushies were scattered everywhere. There was one more Tata onesie laying on the couch. As soon as you heard the door unlock, Yeontan started barking and in walked Taehyung. At first, he was confused as to why Yeontan was wearing a Tata outfit. Until he saw you lounging on the couch, surrounded by Tata plushies. He knew this was going to be one of your binge-watching sessions. Tae is WEIRD and so are you.

“You look ridiculous Y/n.” “Just put the onesie on.”

Jungkook

You always loved to look like Cookie. Wearing pink hoodies and using bunny filters in pictures. But you didn’t have any official merch. Your birthday was coming up and Jungkook wanted you to have something officially BT21 for you to wear. He bought you a hoodie. Ever since that day he gave you the hoodie, he doesn’t believe you ever take it off. Most of the selcas you take from then on are all with bunny filters and that bright pink hoodie. He gets very confused about anything you do with that hoodie.

“Do you ever take that off jagi?” “Leave me, my hoodie, and my selcas be, natural-born bunny.”

Which Hogwarts house BTS belongs to

This post is where I explain my opinions and reasons on why these BTS members belongs to this house and etc. As a Harry Potter and a BTS fan, I just thought it’ll be nice to express my reasons of choosing these BTS members to be in this house. Now before I explain my reasons of why these BTS members are in this house, I just want to point out that being in a Hogwarts house doesn't reflect WHO YOU ARE, but WHAT YOU CHOSE TO BE OR WHAT YOU VALUED THE MOST. We have Hermoine Granger, who is very intelligent and bright that she could’ve been a Ravenclaw. But in the end she CHOSE to be in Gryffindor because she valued friendship and bravery than books and cleverness(Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’ Stone). Even Harry Potter was about to be in Slytherin but he chose to be in Gryffindor instead(Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone). Even the Sorting Hat gives consideration of what house you want to be in. So now that’s out of the way, I’ll explain which house the BTS members belong to.

Jin(Kim Seokjin)- Gryffindor

Since Jin is my bias, I’ll start off with him first. I seen a lot of fans put Jin in Hufflepuff because of how kind, patient and hardworking he is. While this is true, let’s not forget that your house reflects on WHAT YOU CHOSE TO BE OR WHAT YOU VALUED THE MOST rather than WHO YOU ARE. Sure Jin may share some Hufflepuff traits, being kind and patient towards the younger members. Even while he does come off as a coward since he get’s scared very easily, I would definitely say he’s the most COURAGEOUS out of all the members. When BTS performed their first debut, Jin’s pants fall off during the performance. He was so embarrassed about it that he started to cry after that. But despite that, he continued to be part of BTS even though he embarrassed himself in front of a lot of people. Doesn’t help the fact that this is his BTS first debut so he probably felt bad for screwing up BTS’s first impression on the world. Honestly, if that happened to me I would quit immediately because of embarrassment but Jin decided to continue and move on despite that. Not only that, despite being publicly told he was the worst dancer out of all the members, he took that in heart and practiced for more than three hours so he can prove them wrong. It takes a lot of COURAGE to not give up immediately after these negative comments. If you watch a lot of RUN BTS videos, you would notice that Jin has been frowned upon so many times by the other BTS members(I’m not saying they don't like him. They sometimes like to tease him). But despite those negative comebacks, he still continues to work with BTS and has GREATLY on his dancing and singing skills. Courage doesn’t literally mean facing your fears like overcoming your fears of spiders and etc, it means that you have a strong MENTALITY to continue despite your failures and hiccups. Not only that, he has shown to care about his younger members a lot. Heck, he even stated himself that he raised Jungkook when he was a young teenager. While that might be associated with a PATIENCE trait, I would say that this is associated with a CHIVALRY trait than a PATIENCE one. Having a chivalrous trait means that a person is very courtesy, kind and humble towards other people. Sometimes that'll mean that person is willing to defend other people from harm. He treats every member with understanding and love. Honestly, I can imagine that if something happened to the other members I’LL BET YA that he’s gonna be the first one to BEAT UP THAT PERSON THAT HURTS THE OTHER MEMBERS. In an old video of their first videos as BTS, when a girl in the elevator cried, Jin was the only member that asked her what’s wrong. All of the members either was too scared to say anything because of the tension or they just don't care(AKA Suga). While Jin’s personality traits does reflect as a Hufflepuff, I would definitely say that his CHARACTER TRAITS are more like Gryffindor’s traits, Chivalry, Courage, Nerve, Daring and etc.

Suga(Min Young)- Slytherin(Obviously)

A lot of fans put him Slytherin and I couldn’t agree with it more. At first glance, he looks like a calm and lax person who’s extremely kind towards everyone. While those traits does indeed reflect him, if you known Suga long enough you would definitely know that Suga has an inner flame inside him. He’s VERY passionate about music that he’s willing to sacrifice a lot of pursue a career in music. He has to defy his parents rejection of him being a musical artist, has to literally starve to ride a bus back home and LITERALLY didn't tell his manager that he hurts his shoulder after getting hit by a car cuz he was afraid that his musical career was going to end if he told his manager that his shoulder broke. He takes his career as a musical artist so seriously that he writes one song every day, sometimes even more than that. That takes a lot AMBITION and SELF PERSEVERANCE  for Suga to be so passionate about being a musical artist. SELF PRESERVATION means that despite the hardships and struggles that person is facing, that person has the determination to continue face it to reach their goal. Most of his songs about life, depression and etc reflects how CUNNING he is. Cunning isn’t like booksmart were you learn by just books or information, cunning is basically when someone has EXPERIENCE and can use that experience to either get out of a situation or create something that is extremely UNIQUE. While his personality trait reflects him as a calm and lax person, I would say that his CHARACTER traits are definitely Cunning, Self Perseverance, Determination and etc.

V(Kim Taehyung)- Ravenclaw

I’ve seen a lot of fans put V as a Hufflepuff because of how kind he is. While I do agree that he’s indeed a kind person, I would say that's more of a personality trait than a character trait. If you known V long enough you would know that V is the oddball of the group(not in a bad way). He always does his own thing, not caring too much how people look or see him because he’s happy of who he is. Back then, the members didn’t like him at first but after a while they’ve grown to like him. A lot of people think Ravenclaw are a bunch of intelligent booksmarts. While it is sometimes true, a lot of people don’t realize that Ravenclaw also values people that are CREATIVE, ORIGINAL, ACCEPTING TOWARDS OTHERS and ONE SELF and are WISE. It takes a lot of SELF ACCEPTING to be happy of who you are without caring how people see you. We can all agree that V is very CREATIVE. He was the first person to invent the “I purple you” quote, meaning that since purple is the last color of the rainbow, it means that the color purple carries all the other color, meaning trust snd love. And instead of creating a BT21 character that is an animal, he created an alien character with tentacles(Tata), not wanting to create a cute character and instead wants to create a character that is unique. In the recent BT21 episode, Tata quotes that instead of using magic to create love, love should be created with patience and time. Since Tata is V’s character, I would say this is definitely what V would’ve said, which reflects how WISE he is. While his personality traits consists ofHufflepuff’s kindness and hardworking, I would definitely say that his CHARACTER traits are more of a Ravenclaw’s traits of wisdom, originality, creativity and acceptance.

Jimin(Park Jimin)- Hufflepuff(Obviously)

A lot of fans put Jimin in Hufflepuff and I couldn’t agree with it more that I would definitely say his personality traits also reflects his character traits. Just like a Hufflepuff, Jimin is KIND, PATIENT, HARDWORKING, and MODEST. But we can all agree that Jimin’s strongest character trait is WORKING HARD. Jimin is serious about dancing that he works hard to the bone to perfect his dancing. He works so hard that he became the top student at the Modern Dance Apartment. His reason of working hard is his desire to reach perfection. Most of his songs reflect on his realization that perfection is a lie and that he should relax once in a while.(Lie, Promise, Serendipity and etc). This goes to show how much of a HARD WORKER he is and that he takes his role as a dancer seriously. In the BT21 meeting where the members have to decide what trait their character will be, Min Yoongi stated that Chimmy’s power is WORKING HARD. Chimmy is Jimin’s character so Min Young was probably trying to say that JIMIN’S superpower is WORKING HARD and I couldn’t agree with it more. He is shown multiple times to be so MODEST, in the Love Yourself Tour, he cried when ARMY decided to sing along with him at the song Love Yourself. He’s always KIND to the other members, when he refused Taehyung to sleep with him after a nightmare, he felt bad that he decided to give him a dream catcher to make him sleep. I could go on more on Jimin sharing more of the Hufflepuff’s traits but I think you guys get the point by now.

J-Hope(Jung Hoesek)- Hufflepuff(Obviously)

Once again, it’s quite obvious that J-Hope is a Hufflepuff as he shares the kindness, fairness and the tolerance of a Hufflepuff. But I would definitely say his character traits of a Hufflepuff are DEDICATION, MODESTY and LOYALTY. He’s extremely DEDICATED and LOYAL to ARMY, that he thinks about ARMY all the time when he’s in a scary situation. Tbh, I forgot what video it’s from but he thought about Army after jumping off of a high place. Even in his recent vlog video of the making of Chicken Noodle Soup that he shows how much he thinks about army all the time. Since he’s so dedicated to ARMY that he states that his reason of working hard is because of ARMY’s support. DEDICATION doesn’t always mean dedicating on oneself, it can also mean being dedicated to another person or somebody else. Tbh, I would say J-Hope is the most dedicated when it comes with ARMY. In every video I watch about him when he’s alone, he’s always willing to talk to and about ARMY. He’s also shown to be MODEST to not only to his fans, but to the other members. He’s willing to help Jin and RM improve on their dancing instead of just leaving them to do it alone. With that being said, J-Hope is truly a Hufflepuff character and personality wise.

Rap Monster or RM(Kim Namjoon)- Slytherin

Tbh, in a Harry Potter universe, I would say he could be a hatstall between Slytherin and Ravenclaw. While he does share Ravenclaw’s traits like intelligence, wisdom, originally and creativity, I would say that’s more of a personality trait than a character trait. A character trait is a person’s TRUE INWARD PERSONALITY rather than their OUTWARD PERSONALITY. I would say RM’s strongest character traits are AMBITION, CUNNING, LEADERSHIP and DETERMINATION. Even though he isn’t the oldest of BTS, he does have good LEADERSHIP qualities. He’s willing to take over as the leader of BTS and makes sure that BTS is content and happy. When V and Jin had a fight, he stepped in and asked V what’s wrong. In his UN speech, he talked about how teenagers and young adults struggle with self love and how his goal is to spread self love and appreciation to help those people struggling with self love. Namjoon is the perfect leader with not only his English skills, but his DETERMINATION to continue despite the hardships. BTS made him the leader because he convince everyone pull through the struggles and hardships they were going through during their first debut. His DETERMINATION is what makes him a good LEADER, a good leader is when someone continues to go through hardships and will not be fazed by those hardships. Just like Suga, he has a huge passion of music. He loves music so much that he’s willing to defy his parent’s rejection of him being a musical artist that he lied to them that he was studying at the computer room and instead was secretly rapping at an underground rap place. Even though he accomplish so much like making a speech at the UN, performing at western places and etc, he feels like he hasn’t sone enough. This shows how AMBITIOUS he is, and like I said, a character trait is the deeper and true personality of a person than their outward personality. Just like Suga, his songs are CUNNINGLY well made, talking about depression and hardships. Like I said before, CUNNING is when someone uses that experience of theirs to create something unique. While some fans put him in Ravenclaw, I think Slytherin suits him better.

Jungkook(Jeon Jungkook)- Slytherin

Jungkook is a little bit hard to pin down since he’s not that very expressive. He could either be the most lax person or the most energetic person you’ll ever met. While some fans made him a Hufflepuff like him having kindness, loyalty and dedication, I would say that’s more of his personality trait than a character trait. Sure, he does indeed have those traits but his true personality lies in Slytherin, having the traits of AMBITION and FRATERNITY. If you known BTS for a while you would know that Jungkook isn’t the most expressive type, nor he’s the first one to initiate a conversation. Like I said, if you known him for a while you would know that he only reveals his true self when he’s around BTS or people he knows a lot. Someone that is only expressive on to the people they truly trust is someone that has a FRATERNITY relationship. Being in a FRATERNITY is when you feel you have a sense of belonging with a group or organization. As someone like me who is in Slytherin, I can relate to Jungkook not expressing myself to other people except to my family and friends that I trust a lot. For me, I feel more safe when I’m around my family and friends that I trust dearly. So knowing him, he’s very shy towards strangers, especially to his fans. Even though he may not look like it, he has a competitive side. If you watch a lot of some BTS videos, you would definitely see he overreacts when he loses at games. While he does share in some Hufflepuff traits, in the end, his true personality is in Slytherin.

Ok, I can't believe I spent 6 hours writing all of this down. I hope you guys enjoyed it :).

A groan sounded from the side of the bed as an arm pulled away to blindly swat at the alarm. The hand finally made contact, stopping the shrill sound. (Y/n) smiled to herself as the three men surrounding her began to let out sounds of disappointment at their early wake-up time. Jimin was the first to detangle himself and sit up. He rubbed his eyes before leaning over to give some morning kisses to (Y/n) and his barely awake younger members. With a yawn, he rose, stretching before beginning his morning routine. Both Taehyung and Jungkook were still half asleep. (Y/n) could hear Jungkook mumble something about it still being dark outside before rolling himself off the side of the bed, landing with a  loud thud on the floor. At the sound, Jimin poked his head out of the bathroom before laughing loudly, seeing Jungkook on the floor. Now mostly free, (Y/n) reached up to brush hair out of Taehyung's face. "Wake up Tae, you're going to be late." Taehyung groaned, leaning into her touch. (Y/n) smiled, gently stroking his cheek before pulling herself out of his grasp. Taehyung whined, reaching out to try and prevent her from leaving. Finding nothing, his eyes fluttered open. He watched as she knelt down beside Jungkook. She shook him awake, helping him sit up, speaking to him softly. Pulling him up off the floor, he leaned down, pressing a kiss to her lips. As he attempted to deepen the kiss, (Y/n) gently pushed him away, muttering something about morning breath before giving him a gentle push toward the bathroom. She turned back to Taehyung, who was staring at her lovingly. (Y/n) pulled the blankets off of his form, taking his hand tugging gently. She pulled him to the edge of the med. He swung his legs off the side of the bed, sitting up. After standing up, he wrapped his arms around (Y/n), kissing the top of her head before releasing her to get ready. By the time Taehyung had gotten up, Jimin was practically finished getting ready. While Taehyung, Jungkook, and (Y/n) were in the bathroom getting ready, he made a small meal for the four of them to eat before they left. They all ate quickly, leaving to mee the rest of the group for a music video filming. As Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook's soul mate, (Y/n) was granted exclusive access to join the boys at filming locations. She had even been featured in some of the BTS Run episodes and in several V-Lives. Big Hit had been hesitant but then supportive of the relationship, and the fans had been surprisingly accepting of her, only wanting the best for the boys and wanting them to be happy. The ride to the filming site was full of laughter. When they arrived, the boys were filled with energy and ready to start filming. The first shoot was going to be with the sunrise, so getting everything done perfectly was essential if they didn't want to have to come back another day to try again. Filming went smoothly at the first couple locations, but when the group reached the last filming site they were all exhausted, with dancing and their pre-dawn wake-up, they could barely move. They tried their best to wrap up shooting quickly so they could all go home, but it was past midnight when they were able to finally return home. (Y/n) was the first one into the bedroom, quickly taking a shower and conducting her nightly routine. The boys trailed behind her, taking turns showering and preparing to sleep. By the time the three of them filed out of the bathroom, (Y/n) had fallen asleep in the middle of the large bed cuddling three familiar BT21 plushies. The three smiled, taking their plushies place, cuddling close to (Y/n) holding her and each other tight as they all drifted off to sleep.

for the BTS ask: 5 11 14 43 52! I know it's a lot but I'm curious! 😅

sending many questions is more that apreciated omg I am so excited about answering all of these!!

5: How did you “discover bts”?

OKAY SO. I discovered bts in 2016. I stumbled upon the dope mv and I was soooo impressed. I thought they looked so cool!! I found myself coming back to it more and more but I honestly didn’t think I would really ever be a fan of the band, I didn’t see myself as the type of person who likes kpop (spoiler alert: I am EXACTLY the type of person who likes kpop). I absolutely fell in love with jungkook on the spot. His charisma and just the way he would smirk at the camera had me laying on the floor. I started watching more and more mv’s. I loved the run mv and the war of hormone mv so much back then!! I was also obsessed with jimin’s outfit in danger hfsfhkjft. Dance practices where next, and omg I really really couldn’t stop watching those. After that I started watching bangtan bombs and I fell in love with the guys as people. Watching them just gave me so much joy! I started listening to their b-sides and I found a lyrics video for born singer. I read along with the lyrics and I got goosebumps. I never thought these guys would have so much to SAY. I fell in love with their passion for music and their lyrics and their story. after that I just kinda embraced the fact that I was absolutely obsessed with these guys and within no time I knew everything about them. 4 years later and I’m still so happy I have them in my life.

11: Favorite MV and Why?

this is hard but I’m gonna go with the run mv. It’s PERFECT. years later I still watch it all the time. I love the vibe it has, the way it makes you feel, the story it tells. I love love LOVE yoongi in mint hair. I low key wanna live in this mv tbh. There is something about Run that is just so special and I can never really pinpoint what it is and that is why I love it so much. 

14: Funny moments that always make you laugh?

SOPE DOING ANYTHING. I watched the bangtan bomb with behind the scenes from their “I ate well” an ungodly amount of times. But honestly, how do you choose one moment when bts is literally ALWAYS FUNNY???? Entire run episodes flash before my eyes when I read this question. They are 100% the kings of comedy okay I have 100% laughed more in the years that I’ve known them than in any of the years before.

43: Favorite BT21 character?

maybe I am biased, but I love shooky. I have this little shooky plushy that I take with me everywhere and I love it SO MUCH!! I have a special place in my heart for RJ as well.

52: What did BTS inspired you to do ? and did you achieved it?

I could honestly write an entire book about this question omg they inspired me so much? They helped me be kinder to myself, they helped me be more confident, they helped me stand up for myself. They inspired me to face my anxiety and travel to see them in concert. They inspired me to do things that make me happy no matter what other people think. They inspired me to make friends and be more open! More than anything they always inspired me to make music and write songs and just….not give up on being creative?? there is something about seeing them live their  dreams that always makes me to want to do the same. They just keep reminding me how awesome music is!! thank you so much for asking!!

Song Recs: Still New York by MAX + Secret Love Song by Little Mix

Summary: Johnny and Ten already have a hard enough time in their relationship with not being able to see each other much and having to keep their love a secret. When the boys accidentally run into one of their back-up dancers on a late-night practicing and develop unexpected feelings for her, their relationship might just become even more complicated.

When Lailah stepped off the plane and into the humid, New York air, she found herself struggling to breathe. The thick air filled her lungs, choking her as she attempted another breath. It took a few terrifying seconds for Lailah’s lungs to begin adjusting to the humidity, but once they had, she inhaled greedily, trying to refill them with air.

They definitely weren’t in L.A. anymore.

“Yeah, this is a concrete jungle alright,” Eunji coughed, also struggling with the humidity as she joined Lailah in waiting for the others at the bottom of the staircase. “You’d think we’re in a rainforest ‘cause of the trouble we’re having just breathing.”

“I feel that.” Lailah agreed, digging through her purse in search of her phone.

“You lose something again?” Eunji asked, rolling her eyes in annoyance.

“No, just making sure I have everything.” Lailah pulled the phone from the zipper compartment, opening Instagram to add to her story.

“Oh no you don’t!” the raven-haired girl exclaimed, swiping the phone from Lailah’s hands. “Phone down, eyes up. We’re in the city of lights sweetheart, and I’m not letting you spend it on your phone like the rest of the city! Live in the moment, not through your screen.”

“Ok, first of all, Paris is the city of lights,” Lailah corrected. “Second of all, we’re in New York and we may never get the chance to come back here! I’m just documenting our experience so I can go back and relive it all later.”

“Right, that is Paris. Paname then, and I’m confiscating your precious device ‘til further notice.”

“Pretty sure that’s still Paris, but ok, go off I guess.”

“The city of stars?”

“That’s from a movie.”

Eunji’s questioning continued as their traveling group of twelve gathered off the plane and began heading towards the airport terminal.

“City of angels?”

“L.A., we live there.”

“The windy city?”

“Literally Chicago!”

“Ugh, whatever!” Eunji groaned, exasperated.

“Why can’t you just call it the big apple like everyone else?” Lailah laughed.

“Because I’m extra, everyone knows that.” Her friend teased back. “It’s elementary my dear Lei-Lei.”

Shrugging, the girls followed the rest of the group past all the terminals, gift shops, and fast food joints towards baggage claim to collect their things.

Eunji had been her best friend since college when the two became roommates. Lailah had just moved to L.A. after being accepted into her dream college turned nightmare, and Eunji was looking for a roommate in her apartment to help pay rent. 

After seeing the roommate ad and checking that it was in the same area as her college, Lailah messaged the Asian beauty about it. Three weeks later, she was moving in and adding her name to the lease.

Getting to know each other better, and helping Eunji get over her ex, turned boyfriend, turned ex again (heavily blamed on Eunji’s tattoo kink,) the girls learned that they had a shared passion for dance, Lailah wanting to switch to a studio in L.A. after she was all moved in. 

Eunji quickly introduced Lailah to the other dancers and choreographers at her dance studio, and Lailah joined, already in love with all the welcoming, friendly people. The two girls had been inseparable ever since, one almost never without the other.

So when a big entertainment company in Korea needed background dancers from their studio to be in New York for a couple of weeks in June, of course, Lailah was dragged into auditioning with her flashy, confident best friend.

About a week after they auditioned, the list of people the studio had chosen was posted, and, just like Eunji said, the two girls had been picked among the number of lucky, talented dancers.

“I told you!” Eunji had boasted, dark eyes shining brightly. “I knew they’d pick us, I just knew it! I mean, why wouldn’t they? I actually speak Korean, and you’re the most beautiful dancer Lei, they’d be crazy to not pick us.”

Now here they are, standing in New York City with the other dancers picked to represent their studio, waiting for their bags and listening for what to do next.

“Ok everyone,” Julie, their appointed group leader, began. “Meet back here once you have all your things, the company should be sending someone to pick us up and bring us to our hotel.” 

“Yeah, let’s go get our shit!” Jay cheered, causing the group to chuckle and follow him to their flight’s baggage area.

“I think that’s our ride,” Willow spoke as Lailah waited for Eunji to return with her luggage. Following her gaze, the brunette took note of the sharp-looking man dressed in a dark suit, shades covering his eyes, and holding a sign with their studio’s logo.

“Well doesn’t he look important.” Eunji scoffed, returning with her duffle bag over her shoulder and her roller bag trailing behind her. “Hey, Julie, that our guy?”

“Oh!” the girl nodded, approaching him and bringing him back to the group. 

As everyone came back together with their things, the man introduced himself as a bodyguard of NCT and their temporary chauffeur. Bowing in greeting, he led the group out of the airport and to a travel bus parked next to the airport exit.

“Classy,” Eunji hummed appreciatively, allowing the chauffeur to take her bags. “But why does that name sound so familiar?”

“What NCT?” Lailah asked.

“Yeah, I swear I’ve heard of them before.”

“Don’t know, don’t care!” Jay groaned, boarding the large bus.

“Damn, someone’s grumpy. Jet-lagged much?” Eunji called after him, Lailah chuckling as Jay flipped her best friend the bird through the window.

“They must be pretty important to be sending us a bus this big,” Willow observed, joining the two girls as they handed their bags to the chauffeur.

“True, true.” Lailah nodded.

“Ugh, it’s on the tip of my tongue, I swear!” Eunji sighed, “Whatever, I’m sure it’ll come to me later.”

Patting her friend on the back comfortingly, the Lailah followed the other ten members of the studio onto the bus, Eunji right on her heels as she snagged a window seat around the bus’s middle section. 

“Woah, Lei-Lei check it,” Eunji said, tapping the brunette’s shoulder and pointing out the window.

“Ooh, road rage.” she snickered teasingly.

“Funny,” the raven-haired girl replied, rolling her eyes. “But seriously, this city is gorgeous. I can’t wait to explore it all.”

“Agreed.” Lailah nodded, “Isn’t this one of the only places in the world with a Nintendo store? I wanna get a Snorlax plushie for my niece.”

“I mean, I think there’s one in China too, but I could be wrong. I heard the one here is epic though, and the Line store!”

“I know you’re really excited for that in particular, but if you honestly think for a second that I’m letting you spend all your money on BT21 merch, ma’am you are sorely mistaken.”

“Party pooper.” Eunji huffed exaggeratedly, her pout breaking into a smile that mirrored Lailah’s as the bus began to take off.

Lailah let out a shaky breath, mind buzzing with anticipation and nerves for what’s to come.

“Hey,” Eunji said softly, shaking the brunette from her thoughts. “No matter what happens, we’re gonna have a great here, ok? We’re gonna dance, explore, work hard, and have all kinds of fun. Then we’re gonna go home with crazy stories of our adventures and some amazing memories. I’m not gonna anything ruin this trip for us, so you don’t have to worry Lei.”

“Promise?”

“Promise.”

Filled with determination, Lailah stared out the window, taking in New York City and waiting for their adventure to begin.

“Alright Chittaphon, you’re done for today.” Ten had never been more ecstatic to hear those words as the sleepy dongsaeng stumbled off set and into his loving boyfriend, waiting patiently for Ten with open arms.

“All good?” Johnny asked, his long arms encasing Ten’s lithe frame. Light vibrations spread through Johnny as the younger groaned into his neck, igniting butterflies in Johnny’s stomach. “Go get changed babe, I think we’re heading back to the hotel soon.”

“Can’t, I’m dead.” Johnny let out a chuckle at his boyfriend’s childish antics.

“‘S that so?”

“Yep, I guess you have no choice but to carry me.”

“Nice try, crazy. Let’s go.” Johnny smiled, turning Ten around and sending him towards the dressing room with a light pat on his ass and a quick peck to his cheek.

Ten returned from the dressing room minutes later in the streetwear and headband he’d arrived in, honey skin practically glowing without whitewash, and all traces of makeup removed from his face.

“Tired.” He mumbled, leaning his head on Johnny’s shoulder.

“I know baby, I know. We just have to wait a little longer while Jaehyun and Yukhei finish their sets, then we can go.” The brunette replied, pressing a straw against Ten’s lips. “Here, don’t want you falling asleep just yet.”

“Thank you.” He muttered, sipping the americano and lazily pressing a kiss into Johnny’s neck.

“Mhm.” Passing the cup into Ten’s hands, he let the younger have the rest of the coffee. Johnny knew Ten would need it to stay awake after the long night he’d spent yesterday, running the choreography they’d learned for their new music video.

“Mm, bless New York and their Starbucks.” Ten moaned blissfully, leaning even further into Johnny, the older slipping his arm around Ten’s waist. He watched the dancer in amusement as he happily sipped the americano.

“If alcohol is liquid confidence, then coffee is liquid energy.” Ten announced, his lack of filter even more apparent from his sleep-deprived mind. “Jae and Lucas done yet?”

“I think Jaehyun just finished and Lucas is taking his place,” Johnny observed, watching the blonde scurry over to set as Jaehyun headed to the dressing room.

“He shouldn’t take long, that idiot probably came out of the womb modeling for his baby pictures.” Ten teased, smoothing out wrinkles in Johnny’s crisp, white button-up.

“True.” Johnny laughed, pulling out his phone to scroll through Twitter .“Ugh, really?”

Ten looked up at his boyfriend, concerned by the tired sigh Johnny released. “Everything ok?”

“Sorry babe, but it looks like I won’t be joining you until later.”

“Seriously? What are they having you do now?”

“Manager just texted me, Mark, Haechan, Jaehyun, Doyoung, and I are filming an episode for JCC.”

“You guys can’t go film it tomorrow or something?”

“We’ve all got dance practice tomorrow Tiny Dancer.”

“Can I come with you guys? JohnTen shippers haven’t been fed in ages.”

“You know management won’t let you, we’re too obvious.”

“Yeah,” Ten sighed. “Not my fault though, I’ve got the hottest boyfriend around. Who wouldn’t wanna show that off?”

“Hey, that’s my line.” Johnny beamed, tickling Ten’s sides causing the poor dancer to double over laughing.

“Ahhaha, jerk.” Ten panted, breaking from his boyfriend’s hold and shoving Johnny lightly.

“Sorry,” Johnny grinned.

“No, you’re not.”

“No, I’m not.” the taller confirmed. 

“You still mad?”

“A little,” Ten sighed. “It’s just not fair, we barely get to see each other.”

“We knew it wouldn’t be easy, didn’t we?” Johnny soothed, wrapping his arms around the dancer’s waist and pulling Ten closer to touch his forehead against his own.

“Yeah, but-” Ten paused, inhaling Johnny’s calming scent as he tried to find the right words. “I just wanna spend more time with you, see you more.”

“I know babe, believe me, I know. I feel the same, but you know what, it’ll be easier someday when people are more accepting and we won’t have to hide us anymore.”

“That day should hurry up and get here.” Johnny chuckled, running his hands up and down Ten’s sides.

“Yeah, I’ll let it know you said so Ten.”

“You do that.” the shorter replied, shifting to his tip-toes to press a kiss to Johnny’s soft, warm lips. 

As the shooting wrapped, everyone began heading towards their respective cars, Ten leading Johnny to their SUV when a staff member stopped them.

“Johnny, you’re taking a different car with the others that are going to film with you.”

“They’re leaving directly from set?” Ten asked, to which the staff member nodded, disappearing to presumably fetch Mark, Jaehyun, Hachan, and Doyoung.

“Hey,” Johnny called softly, getting Ten’s attention with a kiss to the younger’s forehead. “It’s alright, I’ll be back at the hotel with you before you know it.”

“Promise?” Ten sighed.

“Promise.” Johnny agreed, kissing Ten’s frown away. The two were rushed to separate cars after the short exchange, but not before Johnny noticed the small heart that the younger sent his way, one that the taller returned by mouthing a quick “I love you” while he still had his lover’s attention.

This was going to be the longest Johnny’s Communication Center they’d ever filmed.

[deunggol-reactions]

BTS reaction: finding their s/o asleep

Anonymous asked: Hiiiiii, I'd like to request a reaction to the members finding their s/o asleep in their room/studio (wherever really) and hugging their bt21 character

Kim Seokjin

You had been working hard recently. That was no secret. When Jin had returned home after a long day of rehearsal, it wasn’t a surprise to him when he found you asleep in his bed. What was even more adorable was that you were hugging an RJ plushie close to your chest. Jin gave a soft smile, kissing you on the forehead before joining you in getting some well-deserved rest.

Min Yoongi

There wasn’t much in life that Suga loves more than 1) his work and 2) a good nap. So when he came home to find you asleep while holding a Shooky plushie, a small smile appeared on his face. A nap would be good right now, he decided, and laid down next to you.

Jung Hoseok

Dance practice was especially exhausting that day. The new choreo was taking its toll on everyone, J-Hope included. It had been a busy week for both of you, so he wasn’t so surprised when he saw you curled up with the Mang plushie you loved so much. He smiled as he saw your peaceful face. Things would be tiring for a while, but soon he would be the one in your position.

Kim Namjoon

Namjoon let out a light chuckle when he saw you asleep in his studio, hugging his Koya plushie. He knew you had been working hard recently, so he didn’t want to disturb you. He left to get a blanket, returning a minute later, and draped the blanket over your shoulders. Namjoon gave you a kiss on the forehead before leaving his studio. He didn’t notice the small smile that appeared on your face.

Park Jimin

“Hey (Y/N), I’m home!” Jimin called, closing the door behind him when he noticed you fell asleep on the couch, holding his Chimmy plushie. Jimin couldn’t help the smile that appeared on his face as he saw the cute sight. You looked so peaceful there, and Jimin didn’t want to wake you up just yet; you deserved the rest after working so hard. He would wake you up later, he decided.

Kim Taehyung

“(Y/N)?” Taehyung asked, looking for you the second he got home. “Are you home yet?” He went to his room, thinking you might be there. Sure enough, there you were, tucked comfortably under the blankets of his bed, cuddling a Tata plushie. Taehyung smiled. You were so cute. Did you even know how cute you were? Come to think of it, Taehyung was pretty tired himself. Maybe he would join you for a nap.

Jeon Jeongguk

Jungkook sometimes wondered how he survived dance practice everyday, especially when the choreography had gotten so much harder. He wanted nothing more than a long nap when he got home. As it turned out, it seemed like you wanted the same thing, since you were in his bed cuddled up with a Cooky plushie. Jungkook joined you, ready to take a nap with you, but not before snapping a quick picture of your cute, sleepy face. Yup, that was definitely going to become his lockscreen later.
