You manage to catch one of the double fire exit doors at the back of your new building with your foot and manoeuvre your back against it, enabling you to slip inside without having to put your heavy box down.

Moving into a new apartment is hard enough but you chose to do it at night, with only one friend to help you. It seemed like a good idea at the time, it would be quiet with hardly anyone using the elevator but you’d forgotten just how much stuff you had packed and the idea of just the two of you lugging everything up filled you with dread for the very long night ahead.

You hear the ding of the elevator, snapping you out of your thoughts, and rush round the corner to catch the back of someone going inside.

“Hold the doors, please!” you call out, struggling to get there before the doors close. A hand comes out at the last minute sending them opening again. “Thank you.” you say strained, as you step in and place the box down with a bump. Hopefully there’s nothing fragile in this one. Leaning over you press the same button that’s already alit and straighten up, trying to stretch your already aching back.

“Are you moving in?” a deep, rich voice echoes in the confines of the metal walls.

Wiping the sweat off your brow with the back of your hand and glancing up, you freeze for a moment. Now you understand what tall, dark and handsome really means and there he was in a suit tailored to perfection. Black hair styled flawlessly with not a single strand out of place, not to mention a face the gods themselves would make a picture of out of stars.

Suddenly you were wishing you weren’t standing here in your lounge suit, had some makeup on and weren’t a flushed sweaty mess while in such a confined space.

“Uh, yea.” you reply, feeling like an absolute idiot. That was the best you could come up with?

“Number 27 by any chance?” he asks, running a hand through his shiny hair and sending it bouncing back into place. The movement of his arm circulated his scent around you. Musky, sweet but clean and absolutely drawing you in.

You raise an eyebrow at his question. “Yea, how do you know? Was there a newsletter or something?” 

Laughing with a boxy smile that has your insides melting, “I happen to know who your new neighbour is.”

God, you hope its him.“And…what are they like? Wild parties? Loud music? Never ending stream of guests?”

A sideways smile that makes your heart hurt, he looks so damn good. “More like; quiet nights in with a book, a few friends over on the odd occasion and excessive photography. So if you can hear the click of the camera lens through the walls then it sucks for you.”

You laugh. That was a relief to say the least. “Oh, well that sounds bearable.”

“Does that mean you’re the party animal?” A touch of humour glinting in his ebony eyes.

“More of a late night movie watcher, friends over for gaming sessions and unless a paintbrush on a canvas can be heard, I'm as quiet as a mouse.”

A genuine heart warming smile stretches across his face.How someone so devastatingly handsome could be so adorable at the same time had you dizzy.

“Then in that case, welcome to the building, neighbour.” he puts a hand out and you shake it.

“You’re the bookworm?” you ask, unsure whether to feel excited at having his apartment so close or disappointed that you know can't date him for the very same reason. Like you'd have a shot anyway.

He grimaces slightly at the nickname. “Taehyung, nice to meet you.” you give him your name and he looks down at the singular box you have with you, “is this all you have?”

“I wish, there's a whole truck full downstairs and I've only just started.” you rub your face, tiredness of the day finally catching up.

“Where are your movers?” he frowns, seeming genuinely concerned.

“Miss cheap skate here didn’t wanna pay out for any. My friends offered but everyone, bar one person bailed last minute, so it’s just two of us.” you shrug attempting to ease the crease of worry on his forehead. 

“We can’t have that. I’ll go down with you and help.”

The elevator stops and the doors open with a loud ding. Bending to pick up the box it is taken from your grasp and lifted swiftly away. 

“No, no, honestly, you’ll ruin your suit.” you’re practically chasing him down the hallway to your door.

“I'll change.”

“I really couldn’t ask you to do that.” you fumble with your keys but manage to open the door to let him place the box inside. 

“Well it’s a good job you didn’t and I offered.” he says heading back out the door, removing his blazer and unlocking his door just a few metres from yours. “I’m just going to change quickly.”

You hesitate. “Well, if you insist on helping, that would be great."

He nods. "What are neighbours for? I'm just going to change," he says as he unlocks the door to his department. "I'll meet you back downstairs."

"Sure thing." You reply, pushing the button for the elevator and resisting the urge to look inside his apartment. When you hear his door click shut behind you, the excitement of having him help blooms inside you, holding back the squeal you feel bubbling in your throat and opting for a silent laugh instead.

The opening doors of the elevator invite you in and all you are met with is your cheshire cat grin looking back at you in the reflection of the mirrors inside. You shake your head at yourself. Get a grip. See a cute guy and you're ready to lose your mind. Yea sure he seems nice, friendly, helpful, not to mention dreamy but you cannot date your neighbour.

You push the thoughts aside ready to return to your task at hand.

Once outside, the autumn night air has a bite to it, very different to the warmth you felt next to Taehyung and it sends a shiver through you. The lights from the building illuminate the darkness, your boxes glowing like a broadway sign saying ‘new to the building’. 

Footsteps echo as you stroll down the quiet alley at the back of the building, the hushed sounds of the cars on the road of the busy city whisper in the distance. Your friend, Mark’s grunts interrupt the peace, the noise bouncing off of the walls around you, as he moves furniture into a pile at the end of the van.

“Is there anything you want taken up first?” he asks from inside the van. 

“Probably the parts of the bed, they can be taken straight into the bedroom and I'll put it together tomorrow.”

He turns to you over his shoulder, looking at you through his dark fringe and says, “and what are you going to sleep on tonight genius?”

“It’s called the sofa, dummy.” you poke your tongue out at him as the sound of light footsteps echo behind you. When Taehyung appears at your side, the same scent from the elevator envelopes you, even outside it's intoxicating. Glancing up at him you’re even more devastated by his casual outfit than you were in the suit.

The grey hoodie unzipped, showing a white t-shirt tight enough to accentuate his defined chest, with the matching grey jogging bottoms and a black baseball cap he wore backwards. This look made you want to bite your lip and let your eyes wander down but you dare not.

Snapping yourself out of your trance, you make introductions. “Mark, this is my new neighbour, Taehyung, who has so graciously offered to help us out.”

They nod to each other, before Mark returns to halling out bed parts.

“So, I made a call and a couple of my friends are coming over to help.” Taehyung informs you with your head snapping up in his direction. “What?”

Mark sighs, the sound full of relief. “Taehyung, I don't even know you but I like you already.”

Taehyung’s answering chuckle was endearing and you had to stop your eyes from growing puppy dog wide whilst you tried not to make your admiration obvious.

“You didn’t have to do that.” You say quietly, not wanting to seem ungrateful but not knowing how to deal with this stranger's kindness, as Mark starts to unload the bed parts, passing them down to you and Taehyung.

“I know but they aren’t doing anything, they’re happy to help.” 

You both head back inside, placing the bed parts against the wall next to the elevator to try to lessen your trips.

“It’s Friday night, how can they not have plans?” You can’t seem to let it drop, as kind as it is, you don’t like feeling in debt to someone.

“Hey, I don’t have plans.” Taehyung protests with a slight pout.

“You sure looked like you had plans?” raising an eyebrow at him quizzically.

He sighs, defeated, “Ok, I had a date.”

Surprisingly, disappointment blooms in your stomach and something akin to jealousy threatens under the surface but you push that away in an instant. “Oh?” you respond as you turn away and head back to the van.

“It was a blind date, I don’t usually agree to them,” he says quickly, as if ashamed. “And tonight just proved the reason why.”

You can’t fathom the delight that blooms inside your chest at hearing this and you mentally scold yourself for it. “That bad huh?”

He nods and you watch his face drop as you finish lugging all the parts of your bed back into the building. “I text a friend to "fake call" me with an emergency just so I had an excuse to leave.” 

You watch his forehead wrinkle in anguish as if wrestling with that decision he made and clearly feeling bad about it.

“We’ve all been there. Sometimes it’s gotta be done.”

He mulls that over and gives you a small smile. “Safe to say it’s the last blind date I'll be going on.”

You both journey up in the elevator again, holding the parts against the walls to stop them falling over.

“I’m struggling to understand why someone like you even needs to be set up on a blind date.” There you go thinking out loud again before you can stop the words escaping your lips.

His eyes look up at yours, gaze curious but you see something flicker in them you can't quite place. “Someone like me?”

Instantly your cheeks heat, wishing you could take that sentence back. Not having any idea what to say in response to save yourself some more embarrassment, you scramble for an answer until the panic makes you cave and you just decide to be honest.

“Yea…I mean, look at you. I’m surprised there’s not a line of women following you around as we speak.”

Now, it was his turn to blush. You watch the pink spread across his cheekbones as he tries to hide his bashful smile. “Definitely not.” clearing his throat and flicking the hair out of his eyes he changes the subject, something you’re grateful for. “Anyway, what about you? Moving in alone?”

“Yep, just me.” You were feeling awkward and not sure why.

“No boyfriend?” his eyebrow twitches and you just shake your head in response. 

“Now that surprises me.”

It was your turn again for that persistent blush having only just got rid of it. “Why’s that?” and yet, a part of you wanted him to continue.

“Well, you’re beautiful, funny, friendly…that's just what I've got from our brief encounter so far. Not to mention, creative and a gamer, all high ranking points in what a lot of guys look for in someone…”

You shrug, managing to hide the grin that threatens to portray itself. “It’s finding a nice guy that's not going to waste my time, that’s the problem.”

He nods, understanding. Maybe it’s the same with women too. “Relationships are not the difficult part to navigate. For me, it’s finding someone that’s actually interesting enough to want to spend so much time with, do you get that?” The same worry in his eyes you’ve felt in yourself countless times when attempting to open up to someone. He really gets it.

“Completely. Lately, it feels as if so much is focused on how someone looks and how much money they spend on dates, as opposed to the actual connection you have with someone and how they make you feel. After all, when you’re old and wrinkled that’s what’s really going to matter.” There’s a long pause and when Taehyung doesn’t respond you glance up at his face to see him staring at you, smiling.

When a few more moments pass, you awkwardly shift your feet and that seems to snap him out of his trance. He clears his throat again and nods. “Couldn’t have said it better myself.”

On your return trip back downstairs, his friends have arrived in the lobby and he introduces you to Jungkook and Jimin, both extremely friendly and extremely handsome. What are these guys eating?  Having this many good looking, friendly and helpful guys in a friendship group should be against basic human rights.

After some casual chit chat, their sleeves are rolled up and they are lugging box after box to your apartment. Even Mark seems to get along with all of them and he is one of the least social people you know, he barely even tolerates you.

Everything moves fast with the extra hands and before long there are only a few more boxes to take up. It's when you get the sofa into the building that you realise it will not fit in the elevator and all of you will have to try to take it up seven flights of stairs. 

The comical aspect of this proves too much at first as all of you at some point end up in fits of laughter as you all try angling it in different ways to get it past the corners and the bannisters. This was a living 'friend's' sketch for sure, the urge to call out "pivot" was almost overwhelming but in case they were not fans of the show you decided to keep it to yourself, smirking in your own amusement.

By the time the sofa reaches your new living area, the guys had a sheen of sweat across their brows and their heavy panting chorused together.

“Ok, you guys have done enough! Me and Mark can take it from here,” you touch Taehyung's shoulder, “Thank you, all, you’ve been such a great help.”

Jungkook jumped on the spot a little, “Nah we’re good, there’s like three more boxes, we’ll go and grab the last ones.” He flexes his muscles and wiggles his eyebrows at you before him and Jimin jog out down the hallway.

“Whatever these guys are on, I want some of it.” Mark says dryly before leaving with them.

Now you and Taehyung are alone again, awkwardness starts to rise up and you’re unsure why but before it can escalate you interject, “Well then, I’m getting pizza for everyone as a thank you. Where’s a good pizza place ‘round here?” You pull out your phone already googling places in the area.

“You don’t have to do that.” Taehyung protests and you give him a disapproving look.

“And you all didn’t have to help me, so let me repay the gesture.”

He gives in and nods, telling you about a pizza place they order from all the time. As you complete the order, the others return with the last of your stuff. 

You surveyed your apartment, it didn’t look like much right now but it was yours and all your stuff was here.

Mark’s arm winds around your shoulders, encasing you in a warm hug. “You ok?” he watches your face as you nod and lean into him.

You felt an immense swell of pride in your chest, and you had every reason to be proud of yourself. You had bought this apartment on your own, with only a little help from Mark of a small loan for your deposit but you had done it. A huge milestone you'd dreamed of reaching, fair enough you'd always imagine this step with a partner or husband but the fact that you managed by yourself made you feel even more successful. It showed you, you could be successful on your own without a man propping you up.

After the last apartment you attempted to buy with your ex, you weren't sure you wanted to even try again. But dwelling on the past doesn't do anyone any good. Here you are, finally at a place in life you were happy in most aspects.

You take a deep breath and turn back to the guys. “Ok, pizza’s on the way.”

They cheer and you are quickly enveloped in a warm hug with Jungkook and Jimin, dancing you around the room until you are laughing so much your belly hurts.

“Alright, I vote we eat in my apartment, as I have the luxury of seating.” Taehyung’s amused voice sounds.

“Excuse me sir, but what do you call that?” You point at your sofa with feign shock popping your mouth open.

“Let me rephrase, I have the luxury of ample seating.” 

You couldn't help the laugh that escapes. “Fair point.”

Taehyung leaves with Jungkook and Jimin talking excitedly but you feel eyes on you and turn to the only one left in the room.

“What?” you ask after noticing Mark's questioning gaze.

“What is that?”

You frown as you look around the room, not understanding. “What is what?”

“Oh come on, there’s something between you two.” he says as if stating a well known fact.

Your brain hustle’s for some semblance of understanding. “Between who now?”

He laughs and shakes his head. “Don’t give me that. You and Taehyung, it’s so obvious it’s practically visible.”

Your mouth pops open and you feel annoyance rise up inside you, at him creating something over nothing. “I’ve only just met him.”

Shrugging, he replies. “Since when does a spark have a time constraint?”

Your mouth opens for a response but you hesitate. Do you have a spark? Just because two people get along doesn’t mean there’s something behind it. “It’s called being friendly, doofus.”

“Hmm-mm,” raising an eyebrow at you. “You’re friendly with me, with Jungkook and Jimin too but Taehyung…god, it’s practically suffocating, the energy between you, and you know i’m right otherwise you wouldn’t be getting so defensive.” He smirks and the sight irritates your soul. 

“There. Is. Nothing.” your foot stamps slightly making your point final as you fold your arms across your chest, something Mark finds very amusing.

“Alright, little miss brush-off, whatever you say. Let’s go eat.” He hooks your arm and drags you out the door and to Taehyung's apartment with questions rapidly filling your head and overthinking now beginning. 

Was he right? Did Taehyung like you or is Mark simply reading into a new friendship too hard? Either way, you have to be careful now, the last thing you need is to fall out with your next door neighbour. Whether that be heartbreak or misunderstanding, especially when you’ve only been in the building for four hours.

[btsmosphere]

11

...is a WIP (kind of)! I had this idea right when I started writing for bts, near the start of covid lockdowns, when I was missing playing in bands. as a band kid myself, I present to you:

11. Band kids au!! a general au concept, but I picked instruments for everyone and came up with some scenarios too:

Jin: violin Suga: piano Rm: cello/bass J hope: clarinet/trumpet Jimin: violin V: saxophone(s)/other woodwind Jungkook: violin/viola/guitar

They have a neighbour that gets annoyed at their constant practicing

String quartet get booked for a wedding and watch the drama over their free cake

After parties!!

Haunted theatre...

Now, the reason I say this is only kind of a WIP is that I have not actually worked on it practically since I came up with it. I wrote two little scenarios in very quick succession but decided it would get no interest and never posted them. There's no pairing, it's just me having fun with this bunch of chaotic boys as musicians.

But now I'm thinking I may as well? In the spirit of this ask game I'll dust them off and post them very soon just for fun!

Thank you for playing my roulette💜

There were exactly three kind of people you would find in a club on a Tuesday night: University students whose rhythm of life didn’t match the expectations of the working population, middle-aged men that were going through a divorce and hoped to find some validation in the crowd of young 20-something women and finally, people like you.

Your eyes scanned the crowd of sweaty bodies while your hands were working on cleaning the tequila glass before putting it back in its place. One of your colleagues caught your eyes and subtly moved his head in the direction of the unconventional couple in the very back of the club. The bass of the music echoed in your bones while you observed how the quickly-balding man put his hand on the thigh of the girl and leaned forwards to whisper some sweet vanities in her ear, making the female giggle. If you weren’t wrong, and you never were, this girl was still a minor. Meaning your bouncer missed a fake ID. You nodded your head at your colleague, thereof he moved away from behind the bar and pushed his way through dancing bodies to seek out your club’s doorkeeper.

With your psychology degree came a mountain of debts and housing expenses, and while you had tried finding a part-time job for the hours you had no classes to attend, you had had no luck. So when your roommate from freshmen year had proposed on working behind the bar of her father’s club downtown, the promise of well-paid nightshifts had lured you in. And granted, you came to like it. While normally you would barely be able to keep your eyes open after a whole day of back to back classes, the loud music and the screaming colours of the lights had your head buzzing. Swaying from side to side to Dua Lipa’s new song, you saw how your bouncer approached the couple, radiating danger. Mino’s appearance was absolutely terrifying and you couldn’t help but chuckle at how the man covered behind his female companion. While your bouncer looked like he could kill men with bare hands, everyone who knew him outside of this club knew his vegan soul couldn’t even harm mosquitos. You saw Mino’s lips moving and you were pretty sure he was threatening the male with the police. Not only did he, most probably, provide the girl with a fake ID but he also obviously made sexual advances towards a minor. While not all of society’s daytime rules applied to the club, the security of minor’s was taken very seriously.

It was close to four when you stepped out into the chilly morning air, taking a deep breath and allowing your body to loosen up. You knew it would take your head the whole twenty-minute walk to your apartment for it to forget the strong bass of the music.

The autumn leaves crunched under your feet as you thought about how peaceful it felt being up while everyone was still asleep. Life was better when the moon was watching over you. People stopped acting like society constructed machines, working their nine to six jobs and coming home to loveless marriages.

When you approached the tall building, your small apartment was located in, you wondered whether Taehyung was up already. Kim Taehyung was your neighbour and more than often your source of life-saving milk. Due to your night-time job and your daytime student occupation, getting groceries was not your top priority. But you needed your bowl of cereal after you’ve woken up. It was mandatory. By now, you probably owed him a few litres.

Pressing the button for the escalator, you hummed while waiting for it to arrive. When the doors opened you entered the small space that reeked of pee and thing you didn’t want to know about. This building was as sleazy as the whole neighbourhood but rent was low and you couldn’t afford to be fussy. And at the end of the day you fit in. With your clothes and hair smelling of smoke and alcohol, your eyes lined with dark eyeliner and lips dark red. Like many residents of this apartment complex you came home in the wee hours of the morning. You really fit in. Unlike the boy that appeared on the other side as the escalator doors opened on your level.

Kim Taehyung was everything this neighbourhood wasn’t: Warm, playful, kind and artsy. As soon as he saw you, his boxy smile lit up his pretty and slightly sleepy face and both your arms moved forward to keep the doors open.

“Morning.”, both of you breathed out at the same time and his low laugh made you smile. Taehyung really was a stark contrast to his surroundings, you realized, as you took in his appearance. Face framed by light, tussled hair he was spotting round glasses today. He had a colourful button-down tucked into his lightly wrinkly dress pants while the loafer on his feet looked worn out. Kim Taehyung was a contradiction and he knew it. He looked like he belonged to the part of town full of artists and not in the neighbourhood of night owls. And he definitely wasn’t dressed for his job at the bakery, but both of you knew that this is where he was heading to.

“Good night?”, he asked while still spotting his smile, eyes taking in your make-up.

“I like the purple.”

He pointed at your eyeshadow and you grinned because it had literally taken you an hour to make your eyes look like the dawn.

“Thanks. I like the glasses. Are you off to work?”

“Yep. And you’re off to bed?”

“Yeah.”

He lowered his head slightly and smiled at you through his thick eyelashes. Taehyung was ridiculously beautiful and you couldn’t help the light blush coating your cheeks.

“So…will you ask me for milk again tonight?”

His undertone was teasing but you still pouted at him before you nodded shyly.

“Probably?”

Taehyung grinned widely and moved into the space of the escalator while you stepped outside.

“I’ll make sure to get some after my shift then.”, he winked before the doors closed on you.

You probably should feel bad for constantly asking him for milk…oh no you definitely should. But it also meant that you got to see him often, and you might just have to sacrifice your pride for this minor detail.

And that’s how it was for several months. You coming home from work and Taehyung leaving for work. Asking him for milk when you woke up and him making sure he always had some in the fridge.

You had never asked him but the paint on his pants from time to time made you assume he was an art student. It wouldn’t surprise you, if you were honest. Taehyung radiated art. The way he looked, talked, walked and smiled. Taehyung was art.

Chuckling about your thoughts, you swirled your hair up into a ponytail before splashing cold water onto your puffy face. It was only noon but since today was your free day you decided to binge on Netflix instead of sleeping in. Honestly, you deserved bombarding yourself with brain cell rotting content.

Gulping down some orange juice you noticed you were out of milk once again. With a guilty sigh you nibble at your lip while the fridge hummed in the background. Did the number of times you appeared at Taehyung’s door asking for milk already border on disrespect? Should you just head down and buy your own pack? But that would mean you wouldn’t have an excuse to talk to him. And he never signalised he was annoyed, did he? He would have surely said something if he wanted you to stop asking him for milk.

Quickly changing into something else than your PJ’s, you stepped out of your door and walked down the hallway towards apartment 35. You knew that Taehyung had to be back from his job at the bakery at this time and his Thursday class wouldn’t start until 4. The wooden door looked like it was about to fall apart any second, so your knuckles against it kept the knocking soft. The jazz tunes coming from within and the low grunting confirmed your assumption of the boy being home. And a few moments later, Taehyung appeared in your view, spotting tousled hair and light sweat running down his neck.

Seeing you, a huge grin took over his face before he mentioned for you to come in.

“Fridge.”, is all he said while you stood frozen on your spot.

His whole apartment was filled with moving boxes, books spilt all over the floor and pictures in the process of being wrapped.

“You’re lucky I haven’t cut the fridge off yet.”, he hummed while stepping over a pile of books, not noticing how you weren’t following him.

Slowly you closed the door behind you while your thoughts were racing.

Was he moving away? Why? Why did he not tell you? Or did you forget it? Where was he moving?

“You…you are moving?”

Even to your own ears your voice sounded empty and you tried to mask it with an awkward chuckle.

“Hmm.”, he nodded while he stood on his tiptoes to take down a drawing from the wall.

“But why?”

You sounded like you couldn’t fathom why anyone would consider moving away from this horrendous place and it made Taehyung love.

“I moved here with the hopes of finding inspiration. For this year’s art project.”

“And you didn’t?”

His shoulders visibly tensed before Taehyung turned around and smiled at you.

“Oh no I have. But I have submitted it already. And no offence but this place is terrible, it really kills my usual muse.”

His usual muse?

“I-I have no idea what you are talking about.”

Taehyung smiled and pointed towards a wall of drawings, each one of them radiating life. Sunrises, puppies, abstract drawings with bright colours and a one portraying a group of boys.

“That’s what I like. Do you understand now?”

You nodded slowly before hesitatingly smiling up at him.

“I always thought you were out of place here.”

“Geez, thanks!”, he laughed while you counted the moles on his face. Ever since he had grabbed your hand he hadn’t let it go and you didn’t mind at all. Instead, you tightened your hold on his fingers slightly and acted like you didn’t see his surprised expression when he felt your fingers move.

“Where are you moving to?”

“A little down south. I’m staying here, just changing the neighbourhood.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah.”

Even though something inside you didn’t want him to move away and would have rather stopped him packing up, you volunteered to help him. For all the packs of milk, that is. While you were working alongside him you found out that his parents had a farm down in Daegu and that he was missing them dearly. The boys in the picture you had seen earlier were his closest friends and the reason he had moved to your neighbourhood was his project portraying life after the dark.

“You could have told me earlier, you know. I could have taken you with me to work, we have many people fit for your project.”

Taehyung only giggled and passed you the scissors with which you cut the paper that was wrapped around a pretty picture.

“You still can.”

His words filled you with a little hope. Hope of seeing him again, even though he was moving away.

When you laid in bed the day after Taehyung had officially moved out, you couldn’t help but feel sad. Somehow, the boy had become a bright star in your usual dark nights and with him gone, everything felt more…lifeless. As if his presence had given the building warmth. Coming home from work, you didn’t look forward stepping into the escalator anymore. You started buying your own packs of milk and every time you poured it over your cereal you had to think of Taehyung. You both had been so caught up in each other’s life stories that you had forgotten to ask for his number. Granted, you could seek him out at his job but you didn’t want to intrude. After all, Kim Taehyung had only been a neighbour. He didn’t have any obligations towards you and with a sigh you decided to forget about him. Many other boys had cute little moles on their skin.

As it was getting close to Christmas, the air was freezing cold as you hurried inside your apartment seeking shelter. You put the grocery bags on the kitchen counter before you lit the few candles in your living space. Somehow you had gotten into the Christmas spirit and you were really craving cookies. So you had looked up a few recipes and printed the ones you liked best, which were know pinned to your wall as instruction.

With soft music playing in the background you got to work. You were just hand-deep in cookie dough when your door rang.

With a frown you quickly whipped your hands before you approached the door and asking “Who is this?”

“It’s me. Taehyung.”, came the deep sound of his voice and you had to stop yourself from squealing. Taehyung was standing in front of your door?

You forced your huge grin off your face as you opened the door to be mad by his boxy smile.

“Did you smell the cookies?”, you teased, revelling in how good he looked.

“From miles away, yes. Can I come in? I have something to dip those cookies in!”

Your eyes caught the milk in his bag and you couldn’t help but blush.

“Is that enough bribe for you to let me in?”, he asked, voice wavering of unsureness but you grabbed his arm and pulled him into your apartment.

“You don’t need to bribe me.”

I CHOOSE YOU - 1

Minho / Seungmin x Reader Female

Genre:🌶️

Word count: 1.5k

Summary: You have just split up with your cheating EX-Boyfriend, how could you possible every fall in love again 

Trigger warning: please remember this is a fiction and the characters are just that fictional. If you are sensitive to swearing or sexual content please do not read my stories…… some of my story’s do hold scenes from kdarams Sorry in advance if you don’t like it but I though they were cute, other than that please enjoy.

You and Your best friend are producers and produce music for the kpop industry. Since high school, Alex, your best friend, has been with her boyfriend, Jake. On the other hand, you met Taehyung at an audition when you were 18 for bts. You happened to be filling in for an assistant, taehyung, and you hit it off right away. 

You met many people through taehyung like Jamie park and Lisa from black pink. You became close friends with Jamie. She was just like your soulmate. You and Alex had worked all day on a song for Got7. You were so tired that Jake dropped you home, Taehyung would usually be out, but his car was in the driveway for some reason. You got excited because that meant you got to eat dinner with your boyfriend for once.

So you walk in, WHO THE FUCK DO YOU SEE WITH HER SHIRT OFF ON TOP OF YOUR BOYFRIEND. 

You guessed it, MADDISON, the word that came out of your mouth.

Side note, Maddison was an old friend you had from high school. Maddison was, how should I put this, annoying, manipulative, and now a homewrecker.

Back to the story 

You look at him and go, "THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU…. WHY COULDNT YOU CHEAT ON ME WITH ONE OF YOUR BACKUP DANCERS… WHY MADDISON" you shook your head. It was more disgusted than angry, like really disappointed he chose her.

She was telling you how in love they were. You grabbed all her hair, twisted it, pulled her to the door, threw her out. "CUNT IF I HEAR ONE MORE WORD" you shut the door in her face.

You stormed into your shared room and just packed what you could before you started to cry. Taehyung was trying to put the stuff back

"Please, Y/N, it meant nothing." 

You fucken gave him the devil stare and said, "out of all the things you could have done… you cheated on me… I told you when we were young.. fuck me over once, and I'm done with you" you pushed past him and opened the door. Madison was still there "have him… he's a dick, and he just told me you mean nothing to him" you pushed past her and called Alex as You walked down the street. 

"Alex, how far are you?"

"Like 5minutes away." 

"Good, come back and get me." 

"Why"

 "you'll see when you get here."

"Okay, be there in 5, I guess" she hung up.

Taehyung had slammed the door in Madison's face, so she was upset. You just sat in the next-door neighbour's yard, watching her cry and screaming for Taehyung to open the door. You could see him sitting on the couch through the window with his shirt off and his hands over his face. 

Alex and Jake pulled up. You got in the car. 

"Uhhh, why is Madison topless on your lawn" Jake said 

"Oh, I court her fucking V," You said, putting on your seat belt. Alex turned around and looked at you, so confused.

"Why is she still on the lawn then," she said, trying to undo her seatbelt to lung at her. Jake held his hand over the belt. 

"I don't know fucken bitch thinks he loves her… he was begging me to stay with him 5 minutes ago," You said, shoving my bag over.

"Sheesh," Alex said, sitting forward. 

"It's sad when you think about it," Jake said, looking at her.

"Kinda funny also…..he just slammed that door in her face… god she is crazy" You laughed "okay can we go." 

"Are we taking you anywhere… to ours, or is there someone you want to stay with?" Jake said 

Alex slapped him "she's staying with us, you idiot… where else would she go?" 

"I don't know Jamie's," he said

……

You were texting Jamie on the way to Alex's, telling her what happened. 

"Are you kidding me!!! Who does this guy think he is, honestly… I never liked him. He's a dick….Did you need to stay with me" 

"I might… thank you," you replied 

"Jake can you drop us off at Jamie's," You said

"Uh, sure," he said, turning left into her suburb. 

We got out of the car and knocked on Jamie's door. She answered, "oh my god….. what the hell did you kill her," she said as you and Alex walked in. 

"Nothing I did fucking nothing" suddenly, this shirtless guy comes out of Jamie's toilet. 

"Jamie? Why is there a shirtless man in your house?" You said, confused.

"Oh, that's chan…ignore him honestly" she smiled.

"Anyway… V just stood there. I grabbed what I could, but I'm scared to go back alone," You said. 

"Don't worry about that… CHANNN!!!….. come here," she screams.

"Hey, what's up…. When did you get guest" he said, pointing at us. 

"Chan, at some point, can you help Y/N get her stuff out of her ex's house." 

"Uh, who's her ex? And can he kill me" he laughed 

"Uh, Kim Taehyung" You looked at him as his eyes widened.

"Like BTS V?" He said louder

"Yeah…. That's him" You nod.

"Uhhhh," he said. Then Jamie got her flirt on and convinced him to help you later in the week. 

"Okay…. But you have to promise he's not going to kick my ass," he said, pointing at you.  

"Promise…. He's like a teddy bear," You said, waving it off. You turned to Alex and whispered, "a possessive teddy bear… he's so little…. he's fucked” he looked over at you, whispering, and you all smiled. 

Jamie kissed him and was like, "oh, thanks, baby" Alex stood there and just tilted her head like a dog. 

"Cunts whipped," Alex whispered to you. 

…..

So it was Thursday, and You needed to get more clothes and my work stuff from Taehyung's house. So Chan was coming over, and you were nervous. Alex came over to help you as well in case Taehyung was there.

We heard a knock at the door and opened it. Chan was standing there with two other guys.

"Hi" You looked at chan walking through the door with two other guys.

"Hi, so this is changbin and Minho," he said, pointing and smiling.

"Wait, wait…. Minho?…… omg Minho is that you… you used to dance for the BTS, right" You were shocked if this were Minho had been this whole time.

"Holy shit Y/N…. It's you who we are helping?" He gave you a massive hug. 

"Wait, who's your ex?….is it V?" He said, pulling away. 

 "Uhhhhhh…. Yeah, it's um V" you looked down. 

"That's too bad you guys were super funny and cute….. do you guys remember those girls I used to talk about back in the day?" He said, laughing. 

"Uhhh yeah, I think so," chan and changbin said in sync.

"This is the" he laughed. 

I was a bit considered because if I brought Minho home, V might flip his shit. He was super possessive over me and my relationships with people associated with the band. 

"Minho, are you sure you want to help?…. You know how V gets…..I don't want him to flip out on you," I said.

"FUCK HIM….. he's a cheater…. If I was with you…" he said passionately. 

"Ummm, okay, so are we are going then," changbin said.

…..

So we get to V's house, and he's home. I open the door, and he gets up off the couch. He wrapped his arms around me and shoved his head into my neck started crying. "I am so sorry …. I am so sorry…. I love only you…..please don't leave me," he repeats it. I use my hand to shoo you guys into the bedroom to pack my stuff. 

"V…. I told you…. It's over…you can't cheat on me and think I'm going to come back" he slid down my body and started to hold my legs so I couldn't move.

"Please, I love you… we can get married as you wanted….. I'll even have kids with you…. I can change," he cried.

"You shouldn't have to do anything for me, V….you should have to change for someone to be with you," I said, unhooking his hands. When I did that, chan came out of the room with my bag. 

"Is that him?" he stood up. I stood in between them." IS THIS YOUR NEW BOYFRIEND" he got in chans face. Chan dropped the suitcase, out came minho. 

"Wow wow wow….. don't talk to him like that. He's not the cheater," Minho pushed V.

"IT THAT FUCKING MINHO…. YOU CALLED MINHO WOW," he said in shock.

"No, I didn't call Minho….. get over yourself, V…. I'm sick of your Sense of entitlement is pissing me off." 

"What!…. You're my girlfriend… I'm entitled to know who you are hanging out with" 

"Ex-girlfriend actually," chan corrected him. 

He went to charge at chan, but Minho and changbin got in front of him. I pushed V back, "are you kidding me….you were going to hit him." 

"Well yeah…. Smartass" 

I keep pushing, punching his chest, and screaming at him, calling him a cheater and a liar. 

Minho grabbed my waist and started to pull me out of the house. "Stop….Renae stop…. It's over. Your okay" 

Then you and the rest of the boys came out with my stuff. "Sorry, chan, I didn't think he would react like that," he smiled at me "it's okay… I should be worried if he's okay. You were hitting him pretty hard."

~summary: The story of how Taehyung’s fridge filled up with fruitcake. Taehyung x reader ~word count: 2.8k ~neighbour au, strangers to lovers, fluff Rating: pg ~warnings: I don’t think there are any :) ~a/n: Happy birthday Taehyung!! Here is my offering for the bingo square ‘fruitcake’! Wasn’t sure I was even going to write for this square since I don’t personally like fruitcake, but that itself inspired this one hehe.. I have so enjoyed all my xmas projects (and I managed to do 8 bingo squares!) but I am also excited to start posting different things in the new year! I have some new series in the making so stay tuned...

In the quiet corridor, your tentative knock rang out clearly.

Shifting between your feet, you stared at the unbudging door, on the verge of dashing straight back home.

But before you could give the idea any more thought, the click of the handle turning from the other side made you freeze. Glancing down, you reassured yourself with the sight of the plate in your hands.

And then you were face to face with your most gorgeous neighbour, a fruitcake the only barrier between you two.

“Hello!” the guy greeted, surprising you with a smile. You would have expected him to be at least a little annoyed at being interrupted by a neighbour at the door. Relaxing a little, you offered a smile too.

“Hi, I’m Y/N. I, er, made some fruitcake, but I have way too much so I, er, thought you might like some?”

The man’s eyes dropped to the plate you extended to him after getting through your little speech. Meeting your eyes again, his smile returned.

“Wow, thanks!”

He plucked it from your hands, leaving them with nothing to do.

Awkwardly fiddling with the hem of your shirt, you nodded.

“Okay, well, er, I hope you enjoy, and I should probably-“

“Wait, Y/N!”

As bidden, you stopped, waiting for his next words.

“Tell me,” he grinned, taking a step out of his apartment, “how come you have too much fruitcake? Of all things?”

“Oh,” you chuckled lightly, “well, every year my mum picks a load of fruit from a local farm, and she makes fruitcake for all the family at Christmas, and she sent me some of the fruit this year now I’m living alone, but she hasn’t really got the memo that I don’t have a family to feed, so now I have all this fruit and- sorry, I’m rambling,” you cut yourself off, one hand tangling in your hair.

Nonetheless, your neighbour’s smile had stayed in place.

“No, no,” he assured you, “don’t worry. You should come by again if you have more to get rid of!”

“Oh,” you said, taken by surprise, “okay, great!”

“Thanks,” he smiled, “oh, and I’m Taehyung, by the way.”

“Good to meet you, Taehyung.”

When you closed the door behind you, safely back home, you let out a heavy breath, smile taking its place on your face.

You definitely had more to get rid of. After your brief interaction with Taehyung, you had to restrain yourself from making another batch of cake right away. The man needed some time to eat it!

About a week later, you had deemed it time.

So here you stood, two cooked and two uncooked fruitcakes spread in front of you, one more in the oven, all before noon had even come. Unfortunately, you knew you would have to give some to your other neighbours too: Taehyung couldn’t possibly eat five fruitcakes even if they were his favourite food on earth. Well, perhaps he could, but it would take him a while, and you would like to have the excuse to go back and deliver another in another week’s time.

Undoubtedly, it was silly, but you couldn’t help but be drawn to your handsome neighbour. Prior to last week, you had only ever seen him in passing on the staircase, but now you were dying to talk to him again, if only for a minute.

This time around, your rap at the door was a little more confident.

“Hi again!” you smiled when his head poked around the door.

“Y/N! Hi,” he beamed, letting his door fall open and leaning against the door frame, revealing he was still dressed in his pyjamas, though he still seemed perfectly at ease, “you brought more!”

“Presuming you’re still hungry,” you chuckled.

“Ah, always,” he affirmed, leaning forward to take your latest offering, “the last one… it was really great. Can’t wait for this one!”

“I’m glad,” you said, “you’ll have to let me know when you get sick of them.”

“If,” he corrected, laughing, “and why’s that? Still got your fruit problem?”

Grimacing, you nodded.

“There is just so. much!” you let out an exasperated laugh, “I’m not even sure if I can use it up by Christmas.”

“Well, I’m always here for that,” Taehyung sent you a winning grin. “So, this is a Christmas tradition for your family?”

Nodding, you explained, “definitely, and the recipe I use has been passed down from my great grandmother. And there’s always one on the table on Christmas day. My mum taught me to bake it ever since I was four.”

“Wow,” Taehyung raised his eyebrows, “that’s impressive. No wonder they taste so good!”

“Thank you,” you smiled, looking down at your feet.

“Listen, I should go and get ready, but I’ll pop round and bring back your plates at some point, yeah?”

“Sounds great, thanks,” you smiled before bidding him farewell and returning to your other fruitcakes.

Another week, another fruitcake plated up and waiting on your counter as you dashed around the apartment like a mad woman. You had completely forgotten your promise to meet with some old friends in town, having remembered mid-shower, and now you were doing your hair, brushing your teeth and picking an outfit that might make you look like a functioning person, all at once.

So a knock on the door was not what you needed.

With every intention of not answering, you poked your head around the curtain just to see who it was.

And just like that, you were dashing down the stairs to let in Kim Taehyung.

“Hi!” you greeted breathlessly.

“Oh, hi,” he smiled, “am I… interrupting?”

“Don’t worry, it’s fine!” you stepped back, one hand holding onto the hair you were plaiting, “I was going to come round later anyway.”

“Nice,” he held up the two plates you had given him, now spotlessly clean, “I was just bringing these back.”

Though you made to take them from him, you soon thought better of it.

“Sorry, if you could just-“

“Through there-?”

“Yeah.”

“Yeah.”

“Thanks,” you laughed nervously, following him through to your kitchen. Of course, it wasn’t as clean as you would have liked him to see, but he didn’t take any notice.

“Since you’re here, you could just take it now,” you nodded towards the latest fruitcake as he set down the plates.

“Ah, yes, great, thank you,” he shot you a smile, “I look forward to it.”

“No problem!” you grinned, finally finishing up your plait and freed your hand.

“I should probably get going,” he said, then grimaced. “Christmas shopping awaits.”

“Good luck to you then,” you laughed, “I’m just about to head into town too.”

“Oh! Walk with me?” he asked, “I’ll just go and put this inside…”

“See you in a moment!” you called as he headed back out the door with your cake.

Walking into town was a lot nicer with Taehyung at your side, you noticed. You two chatted more about your Christmas traditions and families, and how much of a nightmare they were to buy presents for. It seemed your mothers were very similar, always asking for things only to never use them, or worse, send them back.

“Why ask for it then?” you threw your hands out in exasperation, both of you laughing little clouds into the air.

Not long later, Taehyung pointed out that you had reached the café you were heading to. You were definitely late for your friends, but that didn’t matter at all when he gave you a quick parting hug.

Waving at him, you wished him luck with the shopping, ignoring the way your heart fluttered more after that one hug than it had during the entire walk here.

Inside, you were pleasantly surprised as your friends didn’t care at all about you being late, instead inundating you with questions about who you were with. You did your best to wave them off with just a friend, just my neighbour, but you couldn’t help the pang in your heart.

If only you could call him more than that…

Fortunately, he really seemed to like your baking.

“I’ve never known anyone who eats so much fruitcake,” you laughed one day, the second time he had turned up that week.

“Oh, you know me,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck, “can’t have too much fruitcake…”

“Coffee?” you asked.

“Go on then,” he smiled, following you inside, “but it’s definitely my turn next time.”

Rolling your eyes, you placed his fruitcake on the table and started on the coffee. It had been a week after your walk into town that you had turned up with the next cake and he had invited you in for tea. Incredibly excited about this development, you returned the favour the next time he came around.

Now it was approaching Christmas and he was eating your cakes quicker than ever.

Just two days before the big day, or Christmas eve eve as you liked to call it, a knock at the door.

Smiling to yourself, you abandoned the suitcase you were packing and rushed to open it.

“Happy Christmas eve eve!” you greeted Taehyung.

Instead of returning the enthusiastic greeting, he looked stumped.

“Happy what?”

“Christmas eve eve,” you repeated.

He burst out laughing.

“Um, sure, I guess.”

“I promise it’s a thing!” you insisted, “well, with me anyway… sorry, would you like a drink?”

“Actually, I was coming to invite you for a drink at mine,” he said, “I told you it was my turn next, right?”

Considering you could use a break (and not at all because you would never turn down an offer to spend time with Tae), you hurriedly agreed. Slipping on your shoes only to take them back off a few seconds later across the threshold of Tae’s house, you followed him through.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got it!” he smiled brightly, “you can wait in here.”

As he disappeared into the kitchen, you made yourself at home in his sitting room, noting, as you did every time you had been here, his immaculate taste in decor. Soft sounds of mugs and teaspoons clinking came from the kitchen, and soon you found yourself with a hot drink between your hands.

“Oh no!” you exclaimed as he set down a slice of cake too, “can we share it? You didn’t bring one for yourself.”

“Uh, sure,” he sat heavily, “thanks.”

Taking your first forkful, you sat back.

“I never said it before, but your house is really nice.”

“Thanks, I’m glad you think so,” he blushed, hiding his face with a sip of his drink.

“Especially the artwork… will you tell me about that one?”

“Oh, that’s actually one of mine.”

“What?” you gaped, “No way! That’s incredible!”

To your dismay, a phone call soon interrupted your… thing. Whatever it was you were having. Tea, you supposed. Certainly not a date.

Quickly apologising, Tae peeked at the screen before excusing himself.

“My mother,” he said, “probably panicking about Christmas plans. I’ll be right back.”

With a laugh, you nodded to show you understood. The moment he left, you let out a sigh. Your mothers should meet each other, it sounded like they would really get along. But perhaps meeting family was going a bit far.

You had to control yourself. Nothing had ever happened, nor would ever happen with Tae. This whole perfect boy-next-door thing was reserved for movies. Not for someone like you.

A few minutes of you twirling your fork around a now empty plate, and Tae was still talking in the hallway. Deciding to make yourself useful, you heaved yourself up from his sofa with your empty dishes in hand.

Leaving what must be the softest, squishiest sofa in the land was a tragedy you didn’t enjoy, but you were only going to pop into the kitchen and ditch the plate.

Right?

But when you did step into the kitchen, you stopped in the doorway.

“What the…” you breathed, venturing one more step in.

Spread across half the counter were your fruitcakes. All of them were still wrapped up, except one that you presumed he had just served to you. Still staring at the stack, you set your things down as softly as possible.

Spinning, slowly, silently, on your heels, you cast your eyes over the rest of the kitchen. Though the counter had a tower of cake on it, you were sure it wasn’t every one you had given to Tae. Then a crack of light caught your attention.

The fridge was open, just a crack, but you walked towards it, eyebrows creasing together. Reaching your hand forwards, you pulled.

A loud thud sounded as a fruitcake launched from the fridge, landing with a slight splat at your feet. And what’s more, the fridge itself was equally stuffed with your fruitcakes.

An instant hush fell outside. Tae had heard.

Spinning around, eyes wide like a child caught breaking into the cookie jar, you were just in time to see Taehyung come to the doorway. When his eyes met yours, you found much the same expression there as you wore yourself.

“I’ll call you back,” he mumbled into the phone, lowering it slowly without taking his eyes off you.

“…sorry,” was the first word to fall from your mouth, “I was just putting back the mug and-“

“Let me explain?” he cut in, “I- I do want them, I swear, and thank you- “

“You clearly don’t want them,” you spoke, confusion lacing your voice, “What are you going to do with all these?”

Following your gesture, he cringed as he took in all the fruitcakes he had amassed.

“I was hoping my friends might like some,” he muttered sheepishly, now looking resolutely at his shoes, “and- and my mum really wants to try some…”

“You don’t like fruitcake?” you whispered.

Finally, Tae looked up.

“No…”

“But- why did you keep asking for more?”

“I… I…”

Watching him closely, you waited. He was so endearing, all flustered like this, but you were honestly perplexed.

“How else was I meant to keep seeing you without seeming weird?”

Your eyebrows raised.

“No offense… but this also seems pretty weird.”

“Yeah, point taken,” he sighed, rubbing at the back of his neck, “but it was a good excuse. And look how much fruit you used up!”

In the face of his hopeful grin, you could only laugh.

“You… you wanted to see me?”

“Yes! I did try the first cake, I promise, I tried so hard to like it, but I just-“

“Taehyung!”

Snapping his mouth shut, he looked up at you with big eyes.

“You could have just said so! Do you not know why I kept coming here with those cakes?”

The expression that met you was blank, only a blink coming in answer.

“Taehyung, I wanted to see you too. I like you.”

For a moment, you were afraid he wouldn’t respond. That perhaps you had got the wrong idea, that this silence was his way of rejection. But then he sighed, a laugh hidden within it, and finally spoke.

“Well that makes things simple,” a small smile spread onto his face, “because I like you too. And I would eat every fruitcake in this room if you let me take you out on a date.”

“That won’t be necessary,” you returned the smile, “I would love to go out with you.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

The boxy smile that lit up his face found its way quickly to your own as well when he stepped towards you. Reaching out his hand, he gently took your own and tugged you closer. Before you knew it, his lips were on yours, his other hand at your jaw, barely grazing the skin as if he would wake up and find it all to be a dream if he held you too tightly.

Eyes closed in bliss, you covered the hand with your own, assuring you both. Yes, this was real.

Pulling back, all either of you could do was stare into each other’s eyes as they creased with the smiles you wore.

“I guess all those fruitcakes were a good thing after all?” Taehyung whispered.

Looking over your shoulder at your baking, piled up around his kitchen, a laugh bubbled slowly from your throat. Head falling onto his shoulder, you closed your eyes as his own laughter rumbled through you.

“What are we going to do with them?”

There was more than one fruitcake on your Christmas table that year. But an extra seat at the table was definitely worth it.

Thank you for reading and reblogging!!

As someone who never realised that my holding hands with my female friends hand was weird until someone pointed it out abt this habit koreans have.

Most sm idols now dont do the kind of fanservice smaller companies do. Haechan and mark are very touchy feely this is why their ships are so popular. Chenle and jisung are close this is why they're shipped, in 127 dotae is is the most alive ship and that's co they're both close friends. Yamark or markwoo works also cos they're closer than rest.

/watch?v=ykC4bwvMxKA&ab_channel=OfficialSTELLAR

/watch?v=WdI0uAnTe9M&ab_channel=OnlyOneOfofficial sometimes fans forget how much smaller companies push their idols to do alot more. As for the issue with dotae and 2dong I loved the way their dynamics work, ive a feeling taeyong was irritating both jaedo the random dancing and touch their thighs wasn’t taeyong being tae but him trying to annoy them. With 2dong u can see doyoung telling donghyuck off and him stopping after I slipup. i agree with u that jaehyun doesnt like not being the puppy he is with doyoung on camera, when he is allowed he goes soft and fluffy but most times jaehyun is asked to keep to himself either by the manager or doyoung himself (ive also started suspecting that its more doyoung then the management)

Video, Video2

Tbh, I don't like when NCTzens start the pity narrative. Neos are super lucky in comparison to other idol-wannabees or idols from other companies. No debt, sick leaves, no pressure for extra fanservice, business class airplane seats and 5 star hotels. Their dorm condition looks bad at first, but once you compare it with what idols have provided by smaller companies... Yes, they work extra hard, but so are all young Koreans. Just read about work related suicide rates. It's the country's problem more so than the occupation.
