Why I Love How The First Movie Dealt With Hiccstrid

Why I love how the first movie dealt with Hiccstrid

Early on in the first movie, it becomes clear that Hiccup has feelings for Astrid, although he never directly says so. His actions and the way he looks at her speaks for itself.

Hiccup also says that he hopes that by hunting dragons, he might find himself a girlfriend, but he never specifies that it is Astrid he’s interested in.

Still, Hiccup's crush on Astrid is not the main focus of the story, in fact, romance is brought up very little. While he attempts to impress her and the others during training and flirts with her once, he never becomes blinded by his feelings for her, not even after their romantic flight which leads to his feelings for her being requited.

He doesn’t do this

This

Or even this

To impress her.

Even though Hiccup initially had a crush on Astrid and later developed deep feelings for her, his motivation to become a hero was never driven by his feelings for her, and that’s not something you can say about all protagonist in movies.

SYNOPSIS: When Jungkook finally decided to take the leap and act on his idea that he has been contemplating for months now; getting a tattoo dedicated to you.

A/N: OMG, I can't even begin to express how absolutely cute and delightful it was to write this piece! It was like a breath of fresh air, a burst of sunshine on a cloudy day lmao idkk. I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear the entire time. It was just the perfect combination of fun and creativity, and I can't wait to read you guys' comments!

"I will walk towards you, step by step

Still with you"

Hearts.

Hearts are everywhere when Jungkook is around you. He loves the way you decorate your pillows with heart patterns and how you set your phone wallpaper to a heart-warming picture of the two of you. He even loves the little hearts on your underwear.

Jungkook simply adores your cute side, which is why he was always drawn to girls who had that adorable quality. While his hyungs were into women who exuded sexiness, Jungkook found himself more attracted to girls who had a sweet and innocent aura. That being said, you definitely have a sexy side as well, but it only showed in rare moments when the two of you were alone.

Jungkook loves you for who you are, and the different sides of you that he gets to see. But your cute side? Yeah he's definitely much for that one.

That's why when he enters your room one night with you lying on the bed—wearing his shirt and a cute pair of pink panties—His breath hitches as he takes in your beauty. Jungkoook can't help but feel a sense of warmth and love as he approaches you, laying down beside you, his head nestled between your neck and face, breathing in your scent.

He feels a sense of calm wash over him as he wraps his arms around you, holding you close. He exhales a deep sigh, feeling relieved to finally be home after a long day of work, cherishing the feeling of your body pressed against his. "Bun," he murmurs, "I missed you so much.”

As soon as you saw Jungkook's tired face, you knew that work had been tough on him today. "Missed you too," you pout, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before lying on your back and facing him. "How was work?". Despite knowing that Jungkook was exhausted, you wanted to hear more about his day.

Jungkook let out a sigh, and you could tell that he was overwhelmed. As he leaned back into your embrace on the bed, you couldn't help but feel a sense of protectiveness over him.

Covering each other with the sheets, even though he was still in his outside clothes—Which was usually a big no-no for you, but you were willing to let it slide this time since he seemed too tired to change—Jungkook kisses your cheek.

"I've had a shit day, tell me about yours" he practically begs, doe eyes staring into yours.

You shrug as you recount your day, "Spent most of it in the chem lab." You feel a sense of boredom wash over you just thinking about it. "Then, Jennie and I decided to grab a bite to eat at a cute little cafe," you say, letting out a small smile at the memory. "We had a late lunch, and I must say, the food was delicious." You pause for a moment, then sit up suddenly. "Oh! I almost forgot to tell you," You start but then interrupt yourself, knowing it's probably for the best if you didn't tell Jungkook that some guy hit on you. "No nevermind"

Laying back down, you close your eyes as you finish, "Anyway, that's about it. It was a pretty uneventful day overall.” playing with one of the hairties on his wrist.

But Jungkook stops smiling, his lips fading into a scowl as he's the one to sit up now, looking intently at you, "No, no, what did you want to say?"

He begins to fidget with his lipring, twisting it back and forth between his tongue. His eyebrows are furrowed in concentration, and a small crease forms on his forehead. "Y/n," He asks, his voice low and serious.

"Kook, it's nothing," you say, smiling reassuringly as you take his hand in yours and kiss it. "Some guys were hitting on me, but I turned them down immediately. There's really nothing to worry about."

Jungkook's expression softens a bit as he hears this, but he still cracks his knuckles nervously. "I just get so protective of you," he admits. "I can't help it."

You understand where he's coming from, but you still can't help feeling a bit frustrated. "I appreciate the sentiment, Kook, but I'm a grown woman. I can handle myself."

He nods, but you can tell he's still not entirely convinced. "Just promise me you'll tell me right away if anything like this happens again," he says.

You nod, "Of course, Kook. I'll always be honest with you."

"Good," he nods and sighs. "Okay,"

"Okay," you giggle. "Now let's get ready for bed. I have class tomorrow"

-

When you enter Jungkooks apartment, the smell of axe deodorant and his signature boss perfume fills your nose. A scent you can't help but love whenever you're near him.

Looking around, you notice a small notebook lying on Jungkook's bed and walking closer, you see that it's filled with small, differently-shaped hearts. The pages are filled with elaborate doodles and scribbles, funnily making it seem like Jungkook may secretly be living the life of a teenage girl in a romance movie.

You knew he had a creative side, coming that he's a photography major, but you've never seen him draw.

Maybe it's just a quirky hobby that he enjoys in his free time. Regardless, it's cute to see that even someone like him would indulge in such a cute pastime like art.

As you sit in the room, you notice that there is a piece of a page missing from the notebook. You wonder how it got lost but decide not to question it, waiting patiently for Jungkook to arrive with some takeout after feeding Bam.

When Jungkook walks in, he greets you with a sing-songy "Oh my oh my," causing you to audibly laugh and then doing the iconic NewJeans "omg" dance move, sending the two of you into a small fit of laughter.

"Okay, okay," you say, standing up, grabbing the food out of his hand. "Let's feast. I swear last time I ate was this morning, and I'm starving," you complain.

Jungkook sighed as he sat down beside you. "Eat, woman," he said, taking a big bite of pizza and making a mess. "I hate it when you don't." You looked at him and rolled your eyes. He always had to be so dramatic. "Can't you just grab something quick between lessons?" he asked, his voice stern. You thought about it for a moment and then responded, "I could, but the cafeteria is so far away. You know the chemistry lab is three stories below it. And besides, I don't want to get lost on the way back."

Jungkook shook his head, clearly frustrated. "You need to take better care of yourself," he said. "Skipping meals is not healthy." You knew he was right, but you couldn't help feeling annoyed. You were perfectly capable of deciding when and what to eat. But then again, it was nice to know that he cared. You smiled at him and took a bite of your own pizza, making sure to make eyecontact with him and then poking your tongue out.

“So what's this little notebook, huh?” You say, sitting back and nodding towards the small black book on his bed.

“Oh just” he shrugs “nothing.”

You want to ask more questions, but you notice the way he's avoiding your gaze. You decide to change the subject.

“Hey, how was the exam today? You never told me” you ask, hoping to get him talking.

He smiles widely, doe eyes lighting up. “It was tough, but I think I did well. There was a lot of material to cover. I'm just glad it's over now,” he says, rubbing his full tummy and groaning. "Man I love pizza"

You nod in agreement, happy to see him so pleased with himself. “You should be proud, Kook. You worked really hard for this,” you tell him, smiling.

He grins back at you, clearly enjoying the praise. “Thanks, it means a lot coming from you, Bun”. He sits up, happy face now looking disappointed. “Are you sure you have to go to that class trip tomorrow?” he asks, his voice hopeful.

You laugh, nodding your head. “Yeah, I'm afraid so. But it's only for a day baby, ill be back at around midnight”

Jungkook nods, his smile returning. “Okay, sleep here today, then?" He asks nervously, hoping to prolong the time he gets to spend with you. "You know cause... we won't see each other tomorrow and all that" he tries to remain cool but is blushing at his request internally.

"Of course," you smile, pinching his cheek. "You're so cute," you laugh, shaking your head.

Jungkook frowns as he protests, "I'm not cute, you know—underneath this shirt," he says lifting up his Calvin Klein shirt "I have some serious muscles that I've worked hard to build up." He flexes his biceps as he speaks, showing off the toned arms that he's proud of.

"Sure, Kook," you nod, hands brushing over his tattooed arm. "You're so so scary," you tease.

"But I am!" Jungkook argues, his tongue poking his cheek as he stares you down, the mood completely shifting into something more sensual. "You know I am," he smirks, pressing his body against yours on the bed.

You feel your heart start to race, can't deny the attraction you feel towards him at all times and the electricity that seems to be crackling between the two of you right now. You try to resist, but it's no use. You give in to the passion that you both share, and soon the two of you are lost in the moment, making out on his bed.

"Are you?" you chuckle as you look into his eyes, feeling the tension. You can't help but smile as he pulls you in for another kiss, your fingers tangled in his hair. "Don't be a brat," he groans out, his hand sneaking under your shirt and caressing your skin, sending shivers down your spine.

You feel his touch as he grabs your breast and gives it a gentle squeeze, making you moan softly in pleasure. You close your eyes and let yourself get lost in the moment, enjoying the feeling of his body against yours.

As he presses his lips against your neck, leaving a trail of love bites, he pauses to ask, "You're mine, aren't you?"

When you don't answer, he growls out the question again. At that moment, you feel both the intensity of his passion and the weight of his expectation. You know that your answer is 'yes' but you love to tease him.

"Bun-".

"Yes" You eagerly respond to his remark, removing your shirt in a hurry and tossing it aside. You want him so badly that you can hardly wait another moment.

Stripping off the rest of your clothes, feeling a sudden rush of heat as you lay down on his bed, face down, and ready for him to take you.

"Fuckin' love you" he mutters before removing his own clothes and positioning himself behind you.

You can feel his breath on your neck, warm and inviting as he prepares to enter you. You close your eyes, savoring the moment, and let out a soft sigh when he presses into you slowly, filling you with his warmth and tenderness.

“Oh my-” you moan, looking behind you and biting your lip. Your body tenses up as you feel him entering you, taking you to new heights of pleasure. You arch your back and give a soft sigh. “Kook-” you groan as he continues, slowly and deliberately, his hands traveling up and down your sides.

You let out a low, throaty sound as he parts your cheeks to give him a better view of you. You can feel the heat rising in your cheeks as he chuckles, enjoying the sight of you fully under his control. “You're so slutty when you're with me,” he murmurs, his breath hot against your ear, and you can't help but shiver with anticipation.

His palm makes contact with your ass a few times before you complain and he chuckles softly. “What's it baby? Huh? Too much?” He teases, hitting that same spot again and again before you manage to sit up and press your back against his chest so he had no way to touch your ass. “Stop” you laugh in pain, ass wiggling against his pelvis now.

As you settle into your new position, you can feel his breath on your neck as he leans in, his hands now resting on your hips. You can't help but feel a sense of comfort, of being held in his strong embrace. The room is quiet except for the occasional sound of a passing car outside or the slapping of skin, and the only thing you can focus on is the way he feels inside you.

You take a deep breath and close your eyes, savouring the sweet pleasure of the moment. Your body is tense with anticipation as you begin to move again, slowly at first, feeling the warm, firm presence of Jungkook behind you.

You can sense his gaze on you, watching your every move as you grind yourself against him. The pleasure builds slowly, steadily, until it's almost too much to bear. You can feel yourself getting closer and closer to the edge, your body trembling with desire.

But just as you think you can't take it any longer, Jungkook pulls you back down onto the mattress, his hands gripping your hips tightly, beginning to move with a fierce intensity, his every thrust sending waves of pleasure through your body. You can't help but moan and cry out as he takes you to new heights of ecstasy.

"Fuck"

And when you finally reach your peak, it's like nothing you've ever felt before. You scream his name out loud, your body writhing in ecstasy as you come undone.

"My pretty bunny" Jungkook moans when he feels you pulse around him, pulling out slowly, his eyes fixed on your pulsing heat as he makes himself cum.

When you feel his warm seed spurt onto your pussy—as he continues to stroke himself, bringing himself to a shuddering finish, you can't help but let out a moan as you feel the warmth of his cum on your skin, the sensation making you wetter than ever. Literally

Jungkook looks down at you, a satisfied smirk on his face, as he leans in to kiss you deeply. You wrap your arms around him, pulling him closer as the two of you bask in the afterglow.

"So what is that notebook all about?" You ask him, panting, as you play with his hair.

He chuckles and pinches your nipple playfully before responding, "Well, wouldn't you like to know."

You groan and ask, "Yes, I'd like to know." You giggle and continue teasingly, "What's got you painting hundreds of hearts in a notebook like a 14-year-old teen girl?" Jungkook looks up from his phone and smiles sheepishly. "You,"

You feel your cheeks flush with heat as you try to process his words. "Me?" you ask, incredulously. "Yes, you," he repeats, his voice growing more confident. "I know it's a bit silly," he says, "but... whatever you'll see"

Pookie🩶: my dick misses you :(

Pookie🩶: I***

Today 11:23 am

You: not funny :(

You: I miss you more

Today 12:02 pm

Pookie🩶: any guys bothering you?

You: not at all, just lots of chem stuff I don't understand

You: were learning about environmental pollution

Pookie🩶: what?

You: exactly.

Today 12:04 pm

Staring at the screen, playing with the idea of whether you should just ditch the trip and go back into the motel where you and your class were staying for the day to talk to Jungkook, you bite your lip.

It's not like anyone would notice, you were more than 50 students after all, but you just happened to be little Miss Lee's favorite student, so she would definitely notice if you were absent.

On one hand, you could stay in the motel, relax, and enjoy some much-needed alone time. On the other hand, you really needed this for your upcoming final.

You remember how excited you were when you first heard about the trip, and how much you were looking forward to it last week—but now? You just miss your boyfriend.

You decide to push the thought of staying back in the motel out of your mind, send Jungkook a quick bye text;

You: I'll talk to you when we have lunch

You: don't miss me too much 🤭

Pookie🩶: I see where your priorities lie 🤨

And with a chuckle, you join your classmates.

“Who's got you smiling like that?” Hanni, one of your classmates nudges your shoulder playfully. You roll your eyes with a smile and reply, “My boyfriend.”

Mrs. Lee continues her lecture on plants and air and whatever—you werent listening.

Rather, you take a moment to reflect on the beauty of nature and how it brings you peace. You remember a camping trip you took with Jungkook and your friends last summer, where you both marveled at the stars and the serenity of the wilderness.

“What's up L/n?” Felix said as he approached you. He was one of your classmates and someone you've gotten to know to be quite extroverted.

Placing his arm over your shoulder, he gives you a wink but feeling uncomfortable, you pushed him aside lightly.

“Hey Felix, I thought you were ditching?” You chuckled, making him smirk. “Well, I couldn't miss the opportunity to see my favourite girl,” he said, winking at you again and causing you to feel even more awkward. You were in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by other students who were chatting, laughing, and eating lunch.

Wondering why Felix had singled you out among all the other people there, you bite your lip nervously. Were you wearing something that caught his attention? Did you accidentally look into his direction, making him assume you wanted to chat?

"So this thing with Jungkook," Felix cleared his throat, trying to appear cool as he leaned against a bush, but then accidentally tripped, which made you have to hide a laugh. "Uhm yeah? What about Jungkook?" you asked once he regained his composure. "It's nothing serious, right?" he said, making. You frown, sensing that he was prying. "Well, actually, he's my boyfriend," you said, hoping to put an end to the conversation.

Did he like you? No way, he had a girlfriend just last week!

Or was he just curious? You decided to change the subject. "Anyway, did you-"

"Break is over!" Mrs Lee thankfully interrupted you, making you apologise and go back to your classmates.

-

Jungkook looks at his phone for the hundredth time, as he checks for any message from you. "She has not called yet even though she promised to call me when they were having lunch, hyung," he says as he sinks down on Taehyung's couch. "It's already 4 PM. What if something happened? She's not even responding to my texts!" Worried, he continues to check his phone.

Taehyung, who was busy playing some shooter game on his PlayStation, was getting annoyed with Jungkook's constant worrying. Finally, he throws a pillow at Jungkook and says, "You're being overdramatic. Y/n is on a field trip, and she's probably busy learning about bees or some shit. You know how these trips go, they are always packed with activities and lectures. Besides, she will call or text you as soon as she gets a chance."

Jungkook, still worried, decides to distract himself by making some snacks. He knows that he won't be able to relax until he hears from you, but he also trusts that you're safe and sound and that you'll be in calling him soon.

After a long day, you finally arrive back at the motel, exhausted and yearning for a good rest. You take a moment to appreciate the comfort of the bed you will soon be taking a nap in before you have to leave again.

You reach for your phone to plug it in and recharge, but realize that it had died somewhere along the way. Probably due to the immense heat. Frustrated, you attempt to charge it, but the connections seem to be broken. After several attempts, you feel a glimmer of hope as the phone begins to slowly turn on again.

A sudden influx of messages from Jungkook fills your screen, each one more surprising than the last.

Pookie🩶: is it lunch yet?

Pookie🩶: call me when you're free

Today 3 pm

Pookie🩶: bun?

Today 3:43 pm

Pookie🩶: baby?

Today 4 pm

Pookie🩶: babe I'm starting to worry

Today 5 pm

Pookie🩶: call me

Today 5:15 pm

Immediately clicking on the phone icon on the top right corner, you feel a rush of nervousness. You start biting your lip, wondering if Jungkook would be mad.

If only you had known that your phone was running low on battery, you would have asked someone for a charger!

You hear Jungkook's voice on the other side, and you let out a small sigh of relief. "Hey babe," he says, and you pout a bit, replying, "I'm sorry, my phone ran out of battery, and I didn't even notice." You start, Jungkook listening intently, nodding even if you couldn't see.

“Don't worry love, I was just really worried,” Jungkook said reassuringly, brushing back his hair. He gave Taehyung a quick nod when he asked if that was you on the phone.

“I'm really sorry,” you chuckled. “Honestly, I didn't know you could get worried about me that easily,” you teased.

Jungkook smiled softly, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Of course I worry about you. You mean everything to me," he replied warmly. "I just want to make sure you're safe."

You felt a warmth spread through your chest at his words, grateful for his concern. "I know, and I appreciate it. But you don't have to worry so much," you said, kicking your feet in bed, internally making heart eyes at him like in the Cartoons "I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself."

Jungkook nodded, but wasn't completely convinced. "I know you can, but I still want to be there for you," he said earnestly.

-

The tattoo studio was surprisingly calm this day, a stark contrast from its usual bustling atmosphere. The walls of the studio were adorned with vibrant tattoo designs, each one telling a unique story. As Jungkook and Taehyung waited, the thought of having a permanent piece of art just for you on his body was both exciting and nerve-wracking.

"Do you think it's gonna hurt?" Taehyung asked, looking over at Jungkook.

Tae had agreed to come along for emotional support.

Jungkook sighed and facepalmed himself. "Taehyung," he said, "Do you see my arm? I have about 40 tattoos on there. This small one is not going to be much worse."

"I'll be fine. Just relax and enjoy the experience. Who knows, you might even end up getting one after this." Jungkook teased his best friend who just chuckled nervously, but he felt a little better knowing that Jungkook had been through it many times before.

After what felt like an eternity, the tattoo artist finally called Jungkook's name. “Mr. Jeon Jungkook?”. Standing up slowly, Jungkook nods and walks towards the artist, with Taehyung following close behind.

The artist greets him with a smile "Well you look like it's not your first time here so no need to explain how all of this works"

Jungkook smiles and nods, sitting down on the chair, ready to go.

"What kind of tattoo would you like to get?" Jungkook takes a deep breath and tries to explain the idea he had in mind; "I want something that would represent my love for my girlfriend." The artist nods. "Something simple, maybe? I was thinking maybe a heart, but if that's too cheesy-"

"A heart is good, might sound crazy but we dont get that many simple requests like these," the artist laughs

"People usually want a butterfly or some sort of animal, i think a heart is cute for your girlfriend." He finishes and suggests a few designs. After a few minutes of discussion and sketching, they finally settled on a design that both Jungkook and the artist were happy with.

Turns out that a simple heart was actually the best way to describe your relationship. Easy, it just felt natural.

While they wait for the artist to prepare his tools, Taehyung looks around the shop and starts to contemplate getting a tattoo himself. He has always been intrigued by the idea of getting inked, but he never had the courage to do it. Jungkook notices his friend's curiosity and encourages him to go for it.

“Yeah? But before you do anything crazy like getting a 69 tattoo on your forehead, you better check with Jihyo first. You know her," Jungkook laughs. "She's not one to mess with when it comes to that kind of thing. In fact, inst, she's pretty strict about tattoos in general? Maybe you should talk to her about it and see what she thinks before making any decisions?” Taehyung nods and starts to browse midnlessly through the artist's portfolio.

Finally, the artist is ready, and Jungkook takes a seat. He braces himself for the needle, but he's also excited to see the idea he's had for months now come to life on his skin.

Once the needle touches the skin of his middle, he takes a deep breath and closes his eyes, letting his mind wander. He thinks about all the moments with you in his life that led him to this point and how this tattoo will be a constant reminder of his love and care for you. He watches in awe as the design takes shape, and before he knows it its done.

Jungkook holds his hand in front of his face, eyes wide not believing he actually went through with his silly idea, admiring the new addition to his body.

Jungkook's feels a sense of accomplishment and pride, knowing that this tattoo will be a part of him forever now.

You: I'm leaving now, I'll be at your place in like 10 minutes is that fine?

Jungkook smiles as he reads your message, internally already picturing how you'd react to his newest addition on his skin.

Pookie🩶: perfect

Pookie🩶: I'm home in about 5

-

"Helloo" You happily sing-song the word as you enter Jungkook's home using the spare key he gave you.

When Bam notices your arrival, he greets you with a friendly bark, making you almost melt on the spot if it weren't for your boyfriends arms opening wide as he sees you, embracing you tightly and planting a gentle kiss on your head. "Missed you," he murmurs, his voice filled with affection.

You can't help but chuckle at his reaction. "I was only gone for a day, you know," you playfully tease him. "I know, but it felt like an eternity," he whines with a grin on his face, clearly happy to have you back in his arms.

You feel at ease in his company and take a moment to catch up on the boring stuff you did on the one day field trip.

You take a sip of water before continuing. "Oh, and there's Felix. You know, that weird guy from my class. He's always trying to flirt with me." You pause and chuckle, unaware of the way Jungkook's expression changes. "But I made it clear to him that I'm taken. I have a boyfriend, after all." You cross your arms and smile, feeling pretty proud of yourself for being so cool and collected in the face of unwanted advances.

“Who? Felix?” Jungkook asks to make sure he got the name right, standing up and grabbing his keys. He was visibly agitated and seemed ready to confront the person who had made his girlfriend uncomfortable.

“What's his dorm number? I swear to fucking-” he continued, his voice rising with each passing word. You quickly stepped in, hoping to prevent any unnecessary conflict.

“Jungkook, please,” you said, placing a hand on his arm. “Hey, it was a 2 minute interaction. Sure, I was uncomfortable, but it's fine. I told him I wasn't interested.”

Jungkook looked at you with concern, his anger slowly dissipating. “Are you sure you're okay?” he asked, lowering his voice. "Cause ill break his nose, you know tha-"

You nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for looking out for me, though.”

Jungkook smiled, still a bit tense but clearly relieved to hear that you were okay. “Of course,” he said, giving you a reassuring pat on the butt.

Sitting on his bed together, you rest your head on his chest.

“I feel like there's something different about you today,” you say, raising an eyebrow. “I can't quite put my finger on it, but I know that something is off.” You play with his sweater, trying to think it through. Suddenly, you notice the little plastic wrap around his middle finger.

You take a deep breath and look him in the eyes. "What's this?" you ask, trying to keep your voice steady. He hesitates for a moment, but then the words come tumbling out.

"I've been working on a thing," he says, his voice low. "A thing?" You feel a mix of emotions - fear, confusion - but mostly confusion.

“It's a tattoo,” he smiles, wiggling his finger around so you couldn't quite see the design.

Feeling curious about what he has gotten inked on his skin, you grab his wrist, but Jungkook seems hesitant to show it to you. You smile, holding his arm still so you could see it, but Jungkook protests. “No wait I wanted to make this all cute and special-” he says.

Did he get the tattoo for a special occasion? Or did he get it as a symbol of something important to him? As you ponder these questions, you feel a surge of affection for this man who always manages to keep you on your toes.

“Jungkook, just show me,” you whine, unable to contain your curiosity any longer.

“Fine,” he says with a bashful smile, “but don't laugh.” He slowly removes the plastic wrap from his finger and offers his hand towards you. “This wasn't really how I wanted you to see it, but I guess it will do for now.”

As you take in the tattoo, you notice the simplicity of it and the way it catches your eye immediately. You turn his hand over, admiring it alongside his other tattoos.

“Did you design this?” you ask, impressed. "Is this why you've been doodling in that sketchbook like an idiot?" You giggle, still in awe

He nods, a hint of pride in his eyes. “Yeah, I wanted to give you something special. Something that you would remember me by.”

"Wait," you tilt your head. "What do you mean by that?"

"It's for you, Bun" he says, his nose nuzzling against yours before he pecks your lips. You can feel his love radiating off of him as he pulls away slightly, gazing deeply into your eyes. "It's something I can look at whenever I miss you," he continues, his voice soft and tender. You can see the love in his eyes as he speaks and can't help but feel your heart fluttering in response.

As you take in the details of his tattoo, you can't help but feel a sense of pride and love for this man, knowing that you are forever a part of him and his life now.

"A heart for my heart"

For twenty straight minutes, you sat in stony silence with your gaze locked on the door ahead. As you did, you gripped the pen in your hand tighter, tighter, tighter. Your brain was steeped in bitterness, and you couldn’t focus on a single thing being discussed. Just the clock ticking above you, the empty chair beside you, and the unmoving cut of oak in front of you.

It was funny, really, in a fucked up sort of way. Your absence from the boardroom wouldn’t mean dick to anyone, but your presence was still expected. So, you sat.

Like always.

Second chair.

Everyone had said — correctly and for years — that you were the best suited to assume leadership when your father approached retirement. Though you were Choi Soojin’s second-born, you were the exceedingly competent and capable one. You were the least likely to take his empire and drive it straight into cold, dead earth. Everyone but you was able to accept the way shit like this worked.

Succession plans start and stop with the eldest.

That was the trump card, always. Even when the eldest waltzes into an eight o’clock meeting at half past, wearing yesterday’s suit, sweating out yesterday’s liquor, ready and able to tank tomorrow’s acquisitions by knowing fuck all about them. 

When your autonomous reaction to your brother’s appearance left you scowling, you felt the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. You were well acquainted with rage, so you knew immediately that this wasn’t that. Quickly, your narrowed eyes flicked over to your mother, whose sights were set on you. She never needed to bother with words; you understood precisely what that understated glare meant:

Excuse yourself to the restroom and wash that look off your face.

So, you did.

Halfway down the hall to your destination, you bristled for an entirely different reason. Leaning nonchalantly against the wall between two extremely rare, absolutely invaluable paintings stood one Kim Taehyung. You hated his proximity to those masterpieces not only because he could destroy either with a single wrong move, but also because he looked like he belonged there.

He belonged everywhere, even if he wasn’t welcome anywhere.

“Skipping out early?” He hummed, head lolling to the side as he flashed you a bright, white grin. “That’s not like you, sweets.”

You made the mistake of glancing at his casually crossed arms. The top two buttons of his ostentatious — silk — shirt were left out of the loop, and the weight of his forearms against the fabric left more of his obscene — sun-kissed — collarbones on display. Before he could catch you staring, you continued your downward glance until you reached the Gucci loafers pressing prints into the hand-knotted, antique rug.

“You’re wearing shoes for once,” You countered with a sharp tick of your eyebrow. With your tone as flat as your affect, your eyes flicked back up to his. “Guess we’re both acting out of character this morning.”

Taehyung snorted, more amused than anything else. To your dismay, the short list of things he was incapable of included taking a hint. He trailed along after you when you turned to walk in the opposite direction. Unable to help yourself, you continued taking potshots with every step.

“I’m surprised you showed up at all. Figured you would still be passed out in whatever bathtub Jaesang slept in last night. He was with you, wasn’t he?”

“Of course, he was.” Even without looking back, you knew Taehyung was rolling his eyes. Where else would he be?

You clenched your fists as you continued down the hall, now heading for the staircase at the opposite end. There would be crescent moons dug into your palms when you finally unfurled them, but for now, the pinch of your nails was enough to keep you from unzipping. 

You didn’t get to unzip. You had to ghostwrite your family’s legacy while the future figurehead was off snorting powder off some undergraduate’s ass. You could, however, make your resentment someone else’s problem.

So, you would.

“Anyone with eyes can see that Jaesang wasn’t this much of a fuck-up until he met you,” You mused. “So, if you’re trying to ruin us, Taehyung, you should have been more subtle about it.”

It was impossible to tell which was sharper, your heels stabbing into the hardwood steps or your tone. He took it all in stride, just like he did with everything else thrown his way. For the record, you hated that about him, too. He had nothing to get worked up over because he had nothing to lose.

“That fumbling, sheep-in-wolf’s-clothing bullshit won’t get you very far, not with an international conglomerate on the line.”

As soon as you said it, you realized just how like your mother you sounded. That thought made you want to vomit, so you clenched your jaw and continued your ascent up the steps.

Taehyung took advantage of the momentary silence, albeit not in the way you expected. Suddenly, his hand flew out from nowhere and enveloped yours in warmth.

You stopped. 

He started, “I’m not trying to ruin you.”

You turned, glare locked and loaded. It was gone the second you saw his expression. Under downturned eyebrows, his wide, umber eyes disarmed you immediately. Whatever was glowing behind them wasn’t the snark you were used to, and it was thawing that chunk of ice in the center of your chest.

It was funny, really, in a shitty sort of way. The person you were harshest to looked at you more softly than anyone else ever had, family included.

“I’m attempting to do the opposite.”

You swallowed, tried your best to look unaffected, and demanded, “Elaborate.”

“That thick skull won’t get you very far, not with an international conglomerate on the line.”

The corner of his mouth tugged upward as he mimicked you, and you could’ve sworn he looked almost — fond? Charming, even, like he did when you met him; long before he became the co-pilot of your brother’s tailspin.

Halfway between amused and incredulous, your instinct was to cross your arms and shift your weight impatiently from one foot to the other. You’d have to drop his hand to do it, though. Not bothering to unpack that hesitation, you simply stood still and waited.

Your inaction wasn’t lost on Taehyung, who once again tilted his head to the side. Cute, you caught yourself thinking. He looked conflicted, like he had to flip a coin in his mind before he could decide how to proceed. 

Eventually, he did.

“Your brother has a longer fuse than I expected. Seriously, I thought he’d have exploded by now.” Taehyung heaved a put-upon sigh as if his own deviousness was exhausting. “It’s been months of this playboy shit — and even though I’m dragging him down as quickly as I can, he still hasn’t hit rock bottom.”

Then, he shrugged. “Hopefully, I’ll claim the knight before the king checks himself.”

You blinked because you didn’t know what the fuck else to do with this admission.

“My money’s always been on the rook.” Taehyung winked, squeezing your half-frozen heart along with your hand. “Best piece for the end game, after all. Once the board’s been cleared out a bit, they’re damn near unstoppable.”

With a roll of your eyes, you scoffed, “What, is this you flirting? Actively sabotaging the incoming chairman? My own flesh and blood?”

With a wolfish grin, Taehyung leaned in and whispered, “Depends. Is it working?”

“Yes,” You stated matter-of-factly. “Yes, it is.”

There is something bittersweet about wanting something you probably shouldn’t. Something about the fact it was forbidden or at least felt that way. Maybe you were exaggerating, maybe you weren’t, but finding the guy in front of you attractive doesn’t feel alright.

Not that he isn’t absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous to the point that it should be illegal… no, never that. It’s just, well, now you understand why pretty much everyone around campus is whipped for this guy. It was a small campus but wow did he manage to have everyone wrapped around his finger. The best, or worst, part is that he doesn’t even know it. He could also be acting like he doesn’t realize his affects on people but that only makes him that much more attractive. You’ve never been into the mysterious type—you were too impatient to let them open up. This guy is an entire breed of mystery and coolness yet he had a warm look in his eyes. He didn’t even have any social media and that just made him more aloof and attractive.

Now you understand why one of your friend’s freaked out on you after finding out you’d be working with him. In her own words: “Oh you lucky bitch! You’re gonna work at the same store as Kim Taehyung?”

You were in fact lucky to be in the presence of someone so attractive but that’s the part that felt forbidden. He was almost too attractive. If he’s even the slightest nice to you you’ll crush on him like it’s nobody’s business and that’s a big no no. Why is it a humongous no no? Because your best friend, So Hyun, has the world’s biggest crush on him. Borderline obsessive but honestly that was anyone who has ever seen him in person. You couldn’t possibly tell her he really was attractive because she’d have your head on a stick.

You learned your lesson after stanning the same member in some kpop group, she does not share. If she finds Taehyung even remotely attractive she’s got a crush and boy oh boy is she territorial. At twenty two years old she’s gotta be pretty damn grown to still act that way but hey, she’s your friend. It didn’t bother you that much, you just learned to keep things to yourself. So the fact that you could agree and say Taehyung is as attractive as everyone says, you’re gonna keep it to yourself.

“Tae Tae, don’t be so mean all the time, it really hurts my feelings,” one of your coworkers said suddenly. You were snapped out of your subconscious focusing again on what you’d been doing. You just started a part time job at a cafe bookshop near the University you attended. Most of the employees were college students but that didn’t mean you all attended the same place. You knew Taehyung was a year or two ahead of you and that the girl talking to him went to an entirely different college. It was a fairly decent sized shop that pulled a good flow of people in so it was a fun job. Three of you worked the late shifts but only two would stay to actually close the shop. Today, unfortunately lucky you got to close with Taehyung who seemed to ignore the other girl.

“Don’t you agree Y/n? Isn’t he kinda mean?” The girl, Sia, asked you making you freeze up.

You couldn’t help the clueless expression on your face as you said, “What?” Oh God why was she trying to drag you into this. You’ve barely been working here two weeks and it’s part time so it’s not every evening. This is barely your third shift with Taehyung and you’ve had extremely short conversations.

“Weren’t you supposed to be off five minutes ago?” He asked her suddenly as he read the time on the computer screen. She looked down at it cursing as she hurried to clock out completely forgetting her flirting with Taehyung. Neither one of you said anything as she blabbered on quick goodbyes running out the door leaving you two alone in the empty shop. It was a Thursday so it was pretty slow.

When it was finally you two alone not a word was said on your end. It took him about five minutes of only hearing the music for him to speak up, “You always get quiet when Sia’s here.”

You didn’t respond right away only looking up at him cluelessly again, “What do you mean?”

“Well the last couple of times we’ve worked together we talked but tonight with Sia you weren’t really talking,” he shrugged in response thinking back to the last two times you’ve worked together. Despite still being fairly new you picked up on the store rules quickly and you didn’t pester him nonstop like some of the other female baristas. Not that he needs you to pester him but he just noticed it.

“I can’t keep up with everything she says,” you admitted going back to your filling the machine with fresh espresso beans, “And to be honest I just sort of mind my business and try and get through work so I could go home.”

That last statement made him chuckle in surprise nodding his head in agreement, “Oh. You know that tall girl you’re friends with? The one who came in on your first day?”

“So Hyun?” You asked with peaked curiosity. He nodded crossing his arms in front of his chest as he leaned against the back counter, “She came in the other day looking for you but you weren’t working.”

Yeah you know. She called you after telling you how gorgeous Taehyung looked making a French press with the sleeves of his button up rolled to his elbows. Still, you acted like you didn’t know, “Really? I didn’t know that.”

“Yeah she was in here for a while but she didn’t buy anything,” Taehyung went on taking the large bag of beans from you so he could put it away, “I didn’t know you were in Journalism but she said you were.”

You nodded in response climbing down the step ladder and putting it away. Despite this being the third time working with him you still didn’t really know him. All you knew about this guy is what So Hyun has told you. Her crush on him started last year when he was one of the spokespersons for the art club. He’s also pretty well known for his oil paintings that were shown in last year’s Fine Art’s seminar where he won first place for the second time in a row. You’ve definitely heard whispers about him in passing with a group of strangers but you never thought much of them. He seemed to keep to himself and his close circle of friends despite his reputation.

“I’m gonna make myself a macchiato, do you want any?” You asked as you started to take out what you would need. His face scrunched in disgust as he shook his head, “No thanks, isn’t it a little too late for coffee?”

“It’s never too late,” you told him even if the shop was only open until 8:00pm and it was already 7:30. He snickered, “I feel like that’s not true.”

“It’s never too late for me, I need caffeine to survive,” you explained, “Trust me I’m not nice if I don’t have coffee in my system.”

“That doesn’t sound healthy,” he said teasingly as he turned to the drawer filled with tea containers, “I rather drink tea or hot cocoa.”

“Why? Not a fan of coffee?“ you asked taking a cup to pour your drink into. The bell above the door rang as a couple girls came in going straight to the music section. The two of you stopped to greet them before continuing your talk. He shook his head, “No it’s too bitter.”

“But you’re around coffee all the time” you stopped, what were you saying? “Doesn’t the smell bother you?”

He smiled as he finished making his drink letting it sit on the counter, “Not really the smell, I just can’t do strong tasting drinks.”

“Let me guess, you get drunk easily too,” you meant it jokingly but the awkward side eye let you know you were right. You laughed lightly as he nodded, “One beer and I’m drunk.”

Before you could respond the door dinged again and the two of you looked toward it. Your face contorted in a mixture of confusion yet joy as two people walked straight to the counter, “What are you doing here?”

“So Hyun wanted to come,” Hobi said with a shrug of his shoulders as you left the kiosk letting him wrap an arm around you in greeting, “And you’re off soon right? Let’s get drunk.”

“I’m not off till like 8:20,” you told him thinking about all the closing you still had to do after the shop is closed. He made a face, “Give me your key then, we’ll wait at your place.”

With that you went back to the kiosk going straight for your small locker tucked into the side where you grabbed your keys. Taehyung just stood behind quietly staring ahead in no particular direction. His face has turned to stone again, borderline uninterested but you barely paid it any mind. So Hyun glanced to him a couple times before finally speaking up, “What about you? Any plans for the weekend?”

He lifted his shoulders in a shrug, “Just gonna stay home.”

“Well that’s no fun, you should go out,” she said batting her eyelashes. You were too busy talking to Hoseok to notice the way his eyes glanced your way for a brief moment. He didn’t give her a verbal response, simply nodded in agreement and turned away to get busy with something else. Once they had the keys to your apartment they left together leaving you alone with Taehyung again and the two girls still looking at albums.

“Is that your boyfriend?” He asked now that it was just you two. You turned to him, “He’s just a friend. I’ve known both of them for a couple years now.”

There wasn’t much talking anymore as you helped the girls with their things at register and Taehyung left to recover the floor and flip the sign to ‘closed’ after they left. You worked quickly to finish your closing duties and by the end of the night you were standing outside the shop while he locked it up.

“Which way are you headed?” He asked you staring around the empty street. It was dark and there weren’t many people out. The only light came from lit up store fronts. You pointed in the direction you’d be leaving to making him nod, “I’ll walk with you.”

“Oh you don’t have to, is it out of your way?” You asked as you two began walking in that direction anyway. You definitely didn’t expect him to offer something like that.

“The bus stop is on the way but it’ll still be a while so I don’t have a problem,” he told you shoving his hands in his coat pockets, “Plus it’s late and dark out so I wouldn’t want you walking home alone anyway.”

He walked you all the way to your apartment stopping across the street. He waited for you to pass the safe zone before turning around and heading back to the bus stop. He didn’t know that your friend was waiting on the other side ready to bombard you with questions about what the two of you talked about.

So Hyun let out an overly dramatic sigh, “If he just gave me one chance, I swear…”

Hoseok sat up from his spot on the grass, “If he gave you a chance he’d go running the second he finds out you stalk him.”

“I don’t stalk him—“

“You do,” you and Hoseok said at the same time laughing. He pushed the textbook off his lap, “Besides if anyone’s got a chance with Prince Charming it’s Y/n.”

You rolled your eyes, “He’s so far out of my league I can’t even think of him as anything other than a coworker.” You typed away on your laptop, you were currently doing an Op-Ed on recent movies just out in theaters for the student board page.

“Eh, you’re always talking when we come in and you work together, don’t think I haven’t noticed the heart eyes,” Hoseok smirked kicking at your leg as if that’d make you admit it. So Hyun looked to the both of you before a smile stretched across her face, “Is he working tonight?”

“I don’t know, I just agreed to cover the shift for Jimin but I don’t know everyone working,” you told her truthfully. You picked up the shirt after one of your coworkers asked if you could cover his shift. You still had some time for a few assignments so you weren’t in any rush to do the work. Since you wanted extra cash you agreed to cover the shift. Thankfully you weren’t stuck closing tonight so you’d get off earlier than usual.

“Well if he’s working you should see if he’s got any plans this weekend, Hobi’s having a bunch of people over so it’d be a perfect excuse to see him,” So Hyun said wishfully, “And then you can talk about me and make him see that I’m the one for him.”

“I thought he didn’t party,” Hoseok asked staring off in the distance across the courtyard on the East side of campus.

“He does if his friends are there, so make sure you invite them too.”

“And how am I supposed to do that?” You asked with a sigh. She glared down at you for a second, “I don’t know but you have to. Please? For me? You know I like him a lot and you’re my best friend who’s so lucky to be working with him.”

“So why don’t you just apply to work there instead of trying to get Y/n to set you two up,” Hoseok cut in, “Stop trying to make Y/n do the impossible.”

“Ugh you’re so mean to me Hobi, just say Y/n is your favorite.”

“Alright, Y/n’s my favorite,” you smacked him lightly to get him to stop but he just laughed in response. All three of you were pretty close but it’s true that sometimes you and Hoseok are closer. Nothing against So Hyun or anything but sometimes your personalities collide a little too much and you can only hang with her for so long before your social battery runs out.

“I’ve gotta get to my last class,” you said packing your things up, “If he works tonight I’ll try and tell him about it but I’m not making any promises.”

“I love you, you’re the best!” So Hyun said as you walked away from them. Before heading to your next lecture on photography you went looking for a vending machine.

You know how sometimes, when you hear of something for the first time [or see something up close that you’ve never seen before] and suddenly it’s popping up everywhere? Like when you hear of a random thing and now it’s all you can see or think about. That’s what’s happening right now.

Before you started working at the bookshop cafe you rarely saw Taehyung. Sure, a couple times you saw him around on campus but he was never close. Now that you started working with him and actually talk to him it’s like he’s everywhere. Like at the vending machines for example. You didn’t try and talk to him or anything but that didn’t stop him from turning at the feeling of someone behind him in line. He had to do a double take to make sure it was you, “Oh hey.”

“Hey,” you mumbled looking around as if talking to him alone was already pushing your luck. One of his fangirls might jump out at you and you wouldn’t be surprised if it was So Hyun. He got his drink and stood to the side stalling his departure as you went to get your own drink. Sensing his hovering you turned to him punching in the number for your drink, “Do you work tonight?”

“Er no, I think it’s Jimin, Jin, and Sia,” he told you as your drink was dispensed. You reached down for it pulling back with it in hand as you said, “Oh, I’m actually covering for Jimin today, we switched shifts.”

“Ah so he got you to do it? That’s nice of you,” he said. You acted like you didn’t notice the way he joined you now on a walk toward a direction neither one of you were sure of, “So does that mean we aren’t working together tomorrow?”

“No, I know it’ll be hard without me but I’m sure you’ll manage,” you teased. Your boss Jin, typically made the schedules and he liked consistency so usually, you were scheduled in shifts with either Taehyung or Sia. Very rarely did you work with some of the other baristas despite being there for a month already. It made it easier to create routine though since you mostly closed with Taehyung and you two split the work load in a way that made it easier for you both.

“I guess I’ll have to,” he let out a dramatic sigh stopping at a corner to look at you, “Got any plans this weekend?”

Oh right, quit your attempts at flirting you had an objective. You nodded your head, “Yeah actually, well kinda. You know my friend Hoseok? He’s gone to the shop a few times?” Taehyung nodded waiting for you to keep going.

“Well he’s throwing a party on Saturday and I was gonna ask a few people from work if they wanted to come.”

“Ah, so I’m one of the chosen few invited?” He asked with a playful smirk that you’re still trying to get used to. At a glance Taehyung always looks cold and expressionless. He dresses pretty mature in academic styled clothing and he’s just known for being serious all the time. Lately he’s been giving you glimpses at his 4D personality that sends you on a whirlpool of mixed emotions. You can definitely see why girls fall for his charms. On top of being physically attractive he’s also charming even if it is only toward a selective few. You definitely don’t see him smile that way to Sia or any of the other girls he talks to but you try not to let that thought get to your head.

“You can say that,” you said turning around to face him now that you really had to cut the conversation short to get to class, “I can text you the details if you’re interested.”

“Yeah alright, I’ll let you know.”

He let you go off as he stood there for a moment. Not even an entire minute later was a hand smacking down on his shoulder pulling him to one side as his friend, Jimin, stood there next to him. He had a cheesy grin, “Damn, I just missed Y/n. I was gonna thank her for switching shifts with me today.”

Should Taehyung mention what you’d told him? Or should he keep the party invite to himself so he has an excuse to see you outside of work? He’s seen you around campus a few times but he’s never sure if he should go out of his way to talk to you. He’s a pretty private person and you seem to be like that too so maybe you don’t like mixing your work life with everything else. Right now that you ran into each other had purely coincidental yet he was pretty pleased about it.

He’s not sure what it is about you but he enjoys seeing you. You’re really pretty but that wasn’t why he liked talking to you. A lot of girls around him were pretty but that never interested him in getting to know any of them better. He’s not really interested in relationships right now but that doesn’t stop people from trying to get closer to him. It’s tiring, honestly, or at least he thinks it is. He rather spend his time on his paintings and school that way he can graduate and start looking for a stable job as an art curator.

None of the girls who’ve tried to get closer to him have been his type either. Maybe he’s picky or unrealistic but when he’s thinking about someone he thinks about their future together. He doesn’t want to waste his time with meaningless hook ups or relationships if he doesn’t think it’ll ever work out. Take his coworker Sia for example, she’s extremely pretty but she drives him insane. She’s so forward and honest about her interest in him that it sort of pushes him away. If he falls for someone he doesn’t want it to be forced. He wants it to happen naturally because there’s genuine chemistry.

That’s why he likes talking to you at work. He likes to think there’s some chemistry there even if it’s just platonically. Conversation flows between you two so easily that working with you just makes his shift go faster. It doesn’t seem like you have ulterior motives when you talk and it feels like you’re actually interested in what he has to stay instead of just pretending like you are because you find him attractive. Do you find him attractive?

“Earth to Taehyung! I asked if you’re doing anything this weekend?” Jimin asked snapping him out of him out of his thoughts. He looked down at his friend, “Uh no? Just planning on staying home all weekend.” Lie.

“Alright so Saturday I’m meeting up with this chick and apparently her friend is crazy into you so what do you say? A group date or something?” Jimin asked hopefully as he followed Taehyung to his next class, “They’re pretty hot, dance majors, flexible…”

“I’m busy Saturday.”

“Okay well that’s a lie since you just told me you’re not doing anything,” Jimin rolled his eyes, “Come on do me one solid. You never wanna come out.”

“Sorry, I’m not interested,” Taehyung sighed turning to Jimin ready to leave, “Go ask Yoongi, I’ve gotta get to class.”

By the time the weekend rolled around you shared a couple quick texts with Taehyung. Nothing major or anything but he did ask for the address to the party and little things like telling you a certain regular came into the shop asking for you. It’s kinda bad how a text from him made you smile a little. Once again, you weren’t doing anything wrong but knowing your best friend had a huge crush on him while he texted you didn’t feel right.

He caught you completely by surprise Saturday night when he called you in the middle of you taking a shot at Hoseok’s party. You had to step away from the group as they loudly talked over the music finding a corner to answer the phone, “Hello?”

“Hey, so I think I found the place but how do I get up there?” He asked staring up at the apartment building in front of him. It took you a second to process what he was saying before you were rushing toward the door, “I’ll come down, see you in a minute.”

Taehyung couldn’t help the tiny smile from spreading across his face as you came down carrying a drink in hand. You waved him over to the door and he let a hand touch your side in a quick hug, “Are we getting you drunk tonight?”

“Let’s see how the night goes first,” he told you smiling following you to the elevator. He came alone even if you told him you’d be inviting people from work. He could’ve asked Jimin to come but he wanted to go on that group date and Taehyung was worried he’d ask those girls to come. When he first got the party there were a lot more people than he expected. Some were familiar faces from school and some weren’t. The ones who did recognize him approached him surprised to see he was at a party knowing damn well he was a homebody.

“What do you want to drink then?” You asked him leading him to the kitchen where the counter was filled with liquor bottles people brought and a few chasers. You tried not to think about his proximity when he came up next to you, a hand flat on the counter next to yours as you could feel the aura of his presence directly behind you peaking over your shoulder to inspect the inventory. He looked down at your cup, “What are you drinking?”

“It’s for alcohol but you can barely taste it,” you told him, “But if you’re a lightweight I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing.”

“Bad thing for sure, let me taste,” he said taking the cup from you. You studied his face to see if he’d like it, his eyes locked on yours as he tipped the cup back letting the drink pour down his throat.

“Well?” You asked as he passed the drink back to you licking his lips. You couldn’t hear his response over the music so he leaned down close to your ear, his breath tickling your lobe as he spoke, “I like it.”

You ignored the shiver that went down your spine, “I’ll make you one then.” He nodded his head, lip being tugged between his teeth as he stared down at you. You looked prettier than usual but he thought you normally looked pretty anyway. Maybe it was the atmosphere that made him feel relaxed around you and since you weren’t running around making coffee drinks you looked more at ease too. He’s not sure if parties were your element but if he were to be asked to go on a night out he’s sure to say yes if you were the one asking. Now that he’s getting a chance to look around he noticed he’s the only one from work. That could mean the others you invited didn’t come, or he was the only one invited. He was going to go with that latter since Jimin didn’t mention an invite and that meant you specifically wanted him here.

Your brows furrowed in concentration looking at him leaning a little closer. It caught him of guard, his eyes shifting down to your lips for a moment before you pulled back. He blinked nervously as you smiled, “I just noticed… your eye lids are different. One’s a monolid and the other isn’t.”

Immediately his hand flew to block one of his eyes in embarrassment, “Yeah, it’s kinda weird.”

“I like it,” you whispered back to him still looking at his eyes as his hand slowly dropped to his side again. You both looked away from each other awkwardly as he raised his cup to his lips in order to hide the upward curl of his smile line.

“Y/n!” The call of your name pulled you both away from the stump and your hand was leaving the counter, barely noticing how the tips of your fingers had been touching his this entire time. You turned around looking for the one who called for you, So Hyun came up with a smile, “Jungkook just got here and he’s looking for you.”

Taehyung looked down to you as So Hyun motioned for you to take the excuse and leave. If you just let her work her charm on Taehyung she’s have him falling for her in no time—or so she says. You blushed looking back to Taehyung, “Oh, um, do you mind giving me a moment? I’m just gonna see what he wants.”

“Um…—“ “Don’t worry I’ll keep Taehyung busy,” she told you nudging you forward, “Why don’t you go find Jungkook?”

Taehyung watched you leave, the effects of being at a social gathering finally weighing on him and suddenly he wasn’t so at ease anymore. So Hyun flashed him a flirtatious smile, “Wow, I never see you at these sort of things. It’s good to see you let loose.”

“Yeah…” Taehyung nodded awkwardly. He didn’t really know So Hyun. The only times he’s talked to her is when she’s visited you at work and to be honest, he finds her kind of annoying. Honestly he couldn’t even understand how you two were friends but hey, they wasn’t for him to question. Don’t get him wrong, So Hyun seems nice but it’s almost forced. Like she’s not being genuine and he hates people like that. He was way more interested in knowing who Jungkook was rather than what she had to say.

“What are you drinking? Can I try it?” She asked him to which he shook his head no. “I don’t like sharing drinks,” he muttered scanning the groups of people to find you. Maybe this Jungkook guy wouldn’t mind if Taehyung included himself in the conversation. He found you across the living room chatting it up with a guy who had a full tattoo sleeve. It made his lucky number seven tattoo seem like a joke. Did you like guys with tattoos and piercings?

You put your arm on the guy’s shoulder laughing at something he said and Taehyung swears his eye twitched. The eyes you just recently complimented that left him feeling a little too happy over it. Has he made you laugh like that? You haven’t known each other for long but he likes to think he makes you smile at work. Maybe you’re the type who needs to be comfortable around someone before initiating skinship and it just means you two can still get closer. He wouldn’t mind that, possible texting you more or hanging out outside of work and school. Actually, he’s currently work on a new art piece and he needs a model for body proportion reference, maybe he could ask you?

The more he looked the more irritated he felt. This is why he can’t do crushes at his grown age, he’s way too possessive and intense. He doesn’t want anyone else making you laugh. Uh oh. Wait, does he like you?

Ah shit, he does.

“So let me get this straight,” Jungkook cleared his throat, “So Hyun has a thing for the campus crush, Kim Taehyung, and he’s your coworker. She asked you to get her with him and you’re helping her like a dumbass even though he clearly has a thing for you?”

You nearly choked on your drink, “Oh my god Kook, he definitely does not have a thing for me. We’re just friends.”

“Yeah okay, so why is he looking at me like he’ll hurt me if I get too close to you?” Jungkook asked raising a brow as if the answer were so obvious. You brushed him and his ideas off, “You know he’s a private person. He probably just feels weird that I left him with So Hyun when he doesn’t really know her.”

“I mean sure but he could also be thinking about murdering me because you left him with So Hyun to come talk to me. Are you even thinking about the danger you’re putting me in?” Jungkook asked holding a hand to his chest, “I know people say I’m intimidating but just look at his T-bone. One glare from him is good enough to K.O someone.”

“You’re so stupid—“ “No you’re stupid because now he’s leaving,” Jungkook shrugged making you whip around to find Taehyung. Sure enough he wasn’t next to So Hyun anymore and instead making his way to the door. You pushed your drink into Jungkook’s hand as he smirked yelling after you as you took off wishing you luck.

“Hey! Where you going?” You barely made it out the door catching him waiting for the elevator turning to look at you.

“Well, y’know I don’t really know that many people and you looked busy so…” he bit his lip in thought hearing the elevator doors open but making no move to get in as you walked over to him. Your brows furrowed, “Did So Hyun ditch you?”

“Uh no, you did,” he answered truthfully catching you by surprise. You brushed your hair out of your face nervously. Kim Taehyung does not have a thing for you. It’s literally not possible. Look at him then look at you.

“Right sorry, one of my friends wanted to talk and I sort of got dragged into conversa—“ “Yeah you looked pretty busy,” Taehyung shrugged as if it was no big deal even if it felt like it was to him, “No worries, it was fun though I think I’m just ready to call it a night.”

“Taehyung,” you whined thinking back to So Hyun and how she’ll blame you later for him leaving because he didn’t want to talk to her, “Can’t you stay a little longer? I won’t leave you alone anymore, I feel bad now.”

“Don’t,” he sighed hearing the doors close again. You were standing so close that he could practically smell the shampoo in your hair. He didn’t think it through when he moved a piece of stray hair behind your ear, “Don’t feel bad, I mean. I had fun, seriously but I don’t want you to feel like you’ve gotta stay with me all night.”

Even though he’d like it if you did but maybe that’s just the jealousy speaking. His touch sent goosebumps along your skin as you took an unconscious step toward him, “But I do feel bad since I invited you.”

Okay sure, you invited him because So Hyun asked you to but you found yourself just as excited as her to see him tonight. Obviously you tried not to think about it too much but it was hard not to when he was looking at you so sweetly. You never knew you liked guys with a twist. Someone who looks cold and mysterious but is an actual sweetheart to those he’s friends with. If you heard the little interest he had in what So Hyun or any other girl had to say compared to how attentive he was to you, you’d know he’s into you. But you don’t know that or you refused to even think about that possibility.

He smirked, “Well then you can make it up to me over lunch next week. Whenever you’re free between classes let’s eat in the cafeteria.”

“Okay!” You said excitedly, face lighting up. He nodded stepping closer pulling you into a goodbye and a promise to text before finally getting into the elevators. You got back to the party blushing and slightly confused on if you should tell So Hyun about lunch.

Part of you would like to have lunch just between you two but he’s already been way too nice to you. Jungkook already thinks he’s into you and soon you’re gonna start believing it too if you keep going at this rate. You’ve definitely confused a guy’s niceness for interest in you and you’re way too embarrassed when they choose So Hyun over you.

That’s why you agreed to help her. She’s drop dead gorgeous and had the height and body of a model. You definitely did not compare and knowing she was so stuck on Taehyung you didn’t even have a chance. You’ll just live vicariously through her if they ever do get together. He’s the total package and you can agree to that even if he wasn’t your type originally. Too bad you’re not as attractive or interesting as your best friend and all the other girls into him. Even Sia is so pretty it makes you want to cry. And she has such a soft and feminine voice unlike yours.

Ugh, maybe you’ve been single for too long and need to do something about it so you stop thinking about your best friend’s crush.

It was mid next week when your schedule aligned with Taehyung's and unfortunately for him so did your friends. He waited in line behind you and So Hyun as you got your trays of food pretending like everything was cool even if it was supposed to be just you and him.

"You're paying right? I forgot my wallet," So Hyun asked looping her arms with yours giving you a smile. Your brows furrowed, "Don't you have Apple Pay?"

"But you're paying for Taehyung's it's not fair." You rolled your eyes. You really hadn't planned on letting So Hyun tag along but after overhearing you tell Hobi you weren't going to have lunch with him today she asked why. You had to come clean and then she threw a fit for not inviting her. You tried telling her that you weren't sure if Taehyung would be okay with it but she assured you that on the night of the party they got along really well. She also thinks he might be a little into her and well, who were you to ruin her chances when she actually might have a shot with him?

Okay, to be fair you don't think he's that into her but hey, you're just going along with the flow and doing as told. Once you all got your food you turned quickly to reach for your wallet not noticing Taehyung sneak past you and paying with his phone for all three meals. You turned with your wallet in hand looking at him in disbelief, "I was going to pay for it all."

He lifted a brow biting his lip looking down at you for a moment, "You can treat me next time."

Next time? What does he mean next time. Like did he mean he wanted you two to go out for a meal again? Or was he just saying that to say it but with no intention of it? So Hyun tried not to overthink what he said either instead moving too match his pace to an empty table, "Thank you Taehyung, that was so sweet of you. Maybe I should treat you to a meal too."

He simply nodded in acknowledgment as the three of you took your seats at an empty table. You sat next to So Hyun as she moved to the spot in front of Taehyung and it made you feel slightly awkward. You're not sure if you're reading it right but Taehyung seems disappointed. The three of you are in an uncomfortable silence that made your leg bounce anxiously. You stood up awkwardly, "I'm gonna go dump this, I'll be back."

So Hyun looked after you with an unreadable expression as she tried to think of something to say to him. "I'm still surprised to see you at that party since I know you don't really go to many. You're not really into going out, are you?"

"You could say that," Taehyung huffed leaning into the table, his tone a little bitter as he looked after waiting for you to walk back already. He was being rude, he knows it but he just doesn't get it. He was hoping it was just you two so he could try and understand what he feels for you and if there was any possibility there but now he couldn't.

His gaze shifted to So Hyun speaking clearly now, "But I went so I could see Y/n."

He had a feeling he knew what So Hyun was trying to do. She might not have had the worst intentions but Taehyung didn't like it. If she were to approach him naturally instead of trying to force her way close to him through you, he might've looked at her different. But he just didn't like her way of doing things. It didn't feel genuine and sure she was pretty but he didn't feel any sort of connection between them. So it sort of upset him that you seemed to be playing along in her charades. It had him raising from his seat holding his tray and backpack.

Your slow walk back to the table was rushed at the sight of him leaving making sure to glare at you in the process. Your brows furrowed in worry as you quickly went to So Hyun who was gathering her things too, "What happened?"

She rolled her eyes holding her things, "Well he's definitely not into me at all. Good fucking job."

"Alright we'll now I'm extra confused, are you trying to say this is my fault?" You asked, some pent up frustration leaking out. This is why you should always mind your business and ignore people's wishes. You try and help them then get blamed when shit goes wrong. So Hyun sighed, "Of course it's your fault I told you I liked him and you flirt with him anyway! He literally hates me, what did you say to him?"

"Look, I have no idea what you're talking about," you raised a hand in surrender getting your backpack, "And I don't understand why you're suddenly mad at me when I've literally done everything you've asked me to."

"Ugh, don't you get it? It didn't work Y/n, he hates me and I think you told him something," So Hyun accused you pretty dramatically in your opinion, "You know I'm into him so why would you do that?"

"I'm sorry but you sound so dumb, why would I say something to make him hate you?"

"Because you like him! You knew I liked him first and you didn't like that so you were talking shit about me," she added making you scoff. Alright that's enough, you held your book bag on your shoulder.

"Okay well clearly you're delusional and need to grow up," you said with a small sigh as you looked up at her, "It's not my fault you're unlikeable."

The argument didn't even seem like a big deal unfortunately. You've had a fair share amount of petty arguments with So Hyun through the course of your friendship and yet you never stopped hanging out. Give it a couple days for Hoseok to force you two to make up and everything would be fine. Now would everything be fine with Taehyung? You're not sure honestly.

Luckily for you, you caught him outside a couple minutes later. He didn't even try and avoid you when you came up to him you cleared your throat awkwardly having no clue what to say now that you were in front of him, "You left earlier without saying bye. I'm starting to think you're not good at goodbyes."

You tried joking in hips of easing the tension by bringing up when he tried leaving the party the other night. He licked his lips with a sigh looking away from you, "Right... bye."

"Tae, I'm sorry if you're mad at me or an—"

"Why would I be mad?" Taehyung asked leaning against the wall of some class building. You struggled to find a response though you're not sure if he was actually looking for one from you. "Because you keep letting your friend try and include herself in time that I'm trying to spend with you?"

Your silence was irritating him so at this point he was rambling, "Look if you're not into me, I get it but I definitely don't need you trying to get me with one of your friends."

"No... that's not—Tae—" you couldn't form the right words. Great. This is why you should really mind your business. In trying to help So Hyun you only managed to get both of them mad at you in the end. Your mind was so jumbled you almost missed the single 'if you're not into me, I get it' which was broad but at the same time a hidden meaning was behind it. Or at least you thought there was, like maybe an implication of what he was currently thinking? Maybe even implying he was into you and it's not reciprocated? Why was it an if? What was going to happen if you admitted to being attracted to him? You just had to know.

"What do you mean?" Was all that you could ask and it made him roll his eyes. He thought he was being obvious with how he felt about you since the beginning. Even before he realized he was into you he always paid more attention to you than anyone else. He always talked to you and went out of his way to find you at work. He went to that stupid party because you invited him. He paid for lunch today because he wanted an excuse to meet with you again and yet you still don't get it. He took a step closer to you, looking down at you making you have to crane your neck to look up.

"I mean that I'm not attracted to your friend, I'm attracted to you and only you," Taehyung said lowly, "Do you know what I mean now?"

You couldn't stop the flutter of your lashes being completely surprise. He's into you? Like, is that what he's saying right now? You said something you probably shouldn't have, "We're friends though."

It made him scoff. You really could not get it even if you were being hit in the face with it. He took a step back with a small huff, "Yeah well I don't really want to be just friends Y/n. But if that's all we'll be then whatever I guess, just friends."

"That's not—oh god I don't know what to say." You really didn't. Obviously you had growing feelings for him but the timing seemed off. Not to mention he was so out of your leave him having a liking toward you just made no sense. Was he playing you? Taehyung didn't seem the type but after everyone has told you that he doesn't really date or give people the chance you just can't understand why he's willing to with you.

He adjusted the strap on his backpack, "It's fine Y/n, you don't see me that way so I guess I got to get over it. It was my bad for thinking there was something between us. I've gotta get to my next class, I'll see you at work."

"Alright but that's not your fault that he's not into So Hyun, right?" Jungkook asked a week later at a party. So Hyun has yet to speak with you and you've been switching shifts with Jimin again until he gets his new schedule figure out. You haven't really had the chance to with Taehyung either but one problem at a time.

"I don't know," you sighed drinking from your red cup as the two of you talked in the corner trying to block out the rest of the party. You only came out with Jungkook tonight since So Hyun wasn't talking to you and Hobi didn't want to pick sides. "He kinda told me... he's into me or something."

"I mean yeah you're hot and easy to be around," Jungkook chuckled as if it were obvious making your eyes roll, "But I mean, I get she liked him but you did what you could. How is it your fault that you two fell for each other instead? It's not like they were dating or anything."

"We didn't fall for ea—" "Shut up because yes you did," he cut you off before a smirk appeared on his face as he teased, "You like him."

"Don't start with that please," you sighed. Frankly you didn't understand why she was so pissed off at you and you doubt telling her your problems with Taehyung would make it better. If anything she'll just be more mad at you for managing to peak Taehyung's interest when she couldn't.

"Y/n, I know what you're thinking, y'know?" Jungkook said, "You like him but you think you shouldn't because of So Hyun but news flash, she doesn't always have to get what she wants. He likes you, try it out. He's here, did you know that?"

"No he's not," you tried to say but he pointed across the room and sure enough Taehyung was here.

He'd been here for a while and it surprised everyone. He really wasn't the party type but a friend of his was here with Jimin. Jimin texted him that you were here with some guy, and like the hopeless jealous fool he is, he had to see who. It was your tatted friend again. He couldn't even approach you because he thinks you've been avoiding him even though Jimin has told him that you're just helping him out because of his schedule.

Before you could say anything Jungkook was already attempting to fix your hair and pull your shirt down to show more cleavage. You swatted at his hand as he said, "Look, he came for a reason and that reason could be you. So stop acting like this is a hard decision and just go talk to him. You haven't been laid in a while and even I'll admit he's hot."

"He's also been staring over here all night and it's kind of creeping me out so get away from me," he said the last part with a good shove leaving you to stumble forward. You turned to glare at him but Jungkook ducked out of view and left you there in a crowd of people confused. Maybe he's right. You know Taehyung is interested in you because he said so. You also know that So Hyun will be mad at you even if you didn't pursue him so why try and act like you didn't like him too? You're just gonna say fuck it and go for it with Taehyung because you're unbelievably attracted to him and not just for his looks.

"Oh she's coming over here, she finally saw you," Jimin says playfully as Taehyung stares at him worried now, "Who?"

"Y/n," Jimin smirked, "I know that's why you came tonight. You had no plans on coming until I told you Y/n was here with a guy. I'm not stupid."

Taehyung opened his mouth to protest when Jimin was patting his shoulder for good luck and leaving him alone in the kitchen where he'd been hiding this entire time. You blocked his path from leaving now, "Hey... I didn't know you were here."

"Yeah you were busy," he said in a harsher tone than he meant. He knows he didn't have a right to be upset over you talking to some other guy who you were friends with but he couldn't help it. Each time he thought about you he liked you a little more. Considering you haven't been talking as much it gives him anxiety almost when he sees you looking perfectly fine not talking to him. This is why he can't do short relationships, he gets way too attached and he overthinks everything possible outcome of the relationship. He doesn’t like games. He’s forward with how he feels and he’ll let it be known once he realizes it.

"What are you drinking? Can I have some?" You asked hoping to lighten the mood sensing he might be upset with you. He didn't say anything offering you the drink and in an attempt to be forward instead of taking it you pressed your lips to the rim. He tilted the cup up for you watching the slight drop of alcohol on your lip once he took it back. He visibly gulped looking down at you waiting to see what you'd do next.

"Um I wanted to apologize and let you know that it was wrong of me to try and force So Hyun on you," you told him honestly, "I thought that you were just being nice to me to be nice and I never considered you being into me at all. I know that's not an excuse so I just wanted to say sorry.”

Taehyung didn't say anything for a minute, he simply nodded in understanding even if he felt confused still. A small amount of irritation too, was he not being as forward about his interest in you as he thought? Why would you not consider his feelings for you? Did you think you were unlikeable? Did you not realize he thought you looked pretty doing absolutely anything?

"And," you bit your lip nervously. Listen to Jungkook's advise and try it out. See what happens if you're honest because yeah, you definitely wanted Taehyung all along even if you never admitted it. Would that make you a bad friend to So Hyun? Shaking the thought away you leaned on your tip toes finally ripping the bandaid off as you whispered in his ear, "I'm actually crazy about you."

He nearly choked on his drink looking down at you. He's always had slightly sensitive ears so feeling you whisper against his ear sent a shiver down his spine—especially because of what you said. You blushed lightly at your admission, "And if you don't completely hate me I'd like to talk things out privately. Like maybe at my place?"

"Right now?" He asked looking at all the party goers and the dark sky through the window. You nodded making him clear his throat nervously clenching his jaw at the thought, "Okay, what about that guy with tattoos?"

"Jungkook?" You asked him looking around the people for Jungkook. He was off already flirting with someone not paying any money to you. You'll just send him a text telling him you're leaving and it'll be fine, "He won't care."

He looked down at you absentmindedly letting the side of his leg brush against yours due to your proximity. With a final nod he spoke, "Alright let's go."

You ended up riding the bus as close to your apartment as possible and walked the short distance to the building. Your conversations were light barely brushing over the main topic and finding any little thing to talk about instead. You directed him to the living room while you went to your room for a moment to freshen up.

"Want anything to drink?" You asked Taehyung as he sat on your couch, unintentionally man spreading as he followed your figure to the kitchen. Now that he's got the confirmation that you were interested in him he wanted to move things along. He wanted to drag you to him and talk things out, maybe even kiss your way into a relationship.

"Water's fine," he muttered in response not bothering to hide the way he checked you out through the opening of the kitchen. It was pretty dark in your apartment, the only light coming from the kitchen and he sat in shadows. When you set his glass down you bent forward a little reaching for the control and he'd be lying if he said he didn't look at the skirt you wore in the process.

He sniffled a little fidgeting in his seat when you sat back next to him. You turned the tv on pulling up YouTube and playing some background music lowly before turning to him catching him already staring. You bit your lip nervously tucking some hair behind your ear as you just looked at each other for a moment.

"So, uh, do you wanna talk about... y'know," you used your hand to motion at the space between you hoping he got the hint of what you were trying to say. He nodded, "I mean, like I said, I don't really have an interest in being just friends but I also can't make you feel something for me if you don't."

"But I do," you told him honestly and it made him smile, eyes slightly glazed over. It went quiet between you two again and your confidence was starting to fade. Now that you've admitted to not only him but yourself too that you like him, there's definitely other things on your mind than just talking. You're just not sure what he wants to do.

You tried not to think about how his thigh was against yours and his arm was thrown behind you on the couch. The music was chilled out but definitely a little sensual and you're not sure if it was a little too forward already. He isn't making a move or anything so you couldn't read him at all. But at the same time, you can't keep being the one to not make any effort. You liked him since the beginning but you pushed the thought away because you didn't think he'd ever think of you that way. You let So Hyun include herself in time that was just supposed be you two and he was clearly upset every time. He has been more forward than you in expressing himself so maybe it's your turn.

You turned to face him now, knee digging into his thigh making his eyes widen in curiosity. With a deep breath you looked down at his lips tempted to just go for it but still slightly hesitant. It wasn't until the hand behind you began playing with the strap of your tank did you say fuck it. You barely moved an inch forward before his hand was flying to your jaw pulling you into him.

Your lips had barely touched before you were caving into each other's, mouths sloppily working in a frenzied kiss. It was super short too, both of you pulling away almost worried at the intensity of that little touch. Your eyes locked on each other once more before he was dragging you back to him. His head tilted to the right while yours went left, his hand still under your jaw keeping you in a position that worked for both of you.

There was nothing slow about the kiss, tongues meeting in the middle before exploring each other's mouth eliciting w deep groan from his chest as his fingers touched your hair letting his hand slide from your side to near your ear. With the sudden force of making out you found yourself moving before you could process what you were doing. You swung a leg over his lap until you were straddling him and his free hand went straight to your skirt.

Your heads bobbed in a messy make out session as his hand gripped the fabric of your skirt making you press closer to him until your chest was on his. Your arms wrapped around his neck and fingers in his hair when you found the palm of his hand flat on your butt sneaking under your skirt. You pushed at his shoulders lightly trying to pull away and catch your breath. A thin line of spit connected your lips together as you both panted unevenly. His eyes searched yours for any sign of regret, the hand on your panties now massaging into the flesh of your ass but not roughly. It was a soft and soothing caress as you began to pepper gentle kisses at the corners of his mouth. His mouth was slightly agape as he fought to catch his breath and not buck up into the warmth between your legs that was currently over his member. He couldn't even remember the last time he made out with someone like this. It had to be months at least, probably since the last girl he was in a relationship with. Taehyung's breath hitched as you got to the angle of his jaw sucking lightly making your way toward the space under his ear.

You didn't miss the way his hands tightened around you fidgeting a little when you got close to his ear. Deciding to take it further you pulled the end of his lobe into your mouth nipping at it softly with your teeth.

"Ngh," he bit back a moan at the feel, his eyes crossing for a moment when your breath fanned his ears. Why the hell were they so damn sensitive. You moved your hips over him feeling his grip on your butt tighten in the process. He was slumped back on the couch essentially letting you take the reigns for a moment as he tried to clear his mind of the dirty thoughts that were coming way too soon. Instead, he let your hips move over him back and forth, the rough denim of his jeans rubbing against your arousing heat.

You were practically dry humping like a pair of horny teens but it clearly wasn't enough. You both only had one thing on his mind and he needed it. Your fingers were in his hair scratching blissfully at his scalp as you whispered into his ear, "Wanna move things to my room?"

The tingling sensation traveled from his ear down his throat to his spine making him react far quicker than you expect. Both hands tightened at your bottom as he jolted off the couch keeping you on him. "Where?" He asked, lips brushing against yours as you clung to him. You pointed in the direction and he was taking you that way.

The door swung open with a bang before his leg was kicking it back shut. He walked until his knees hit the edge of a bed and just like that he was trapping you under him in another heated kiss. Your hands cupped his face as he pressed himself further into you, eyes squeeze shut in pleasure.

Just how you did on the couch, he was pushing his groin against yours, knees digging into the mattress with your body in between before he started a slow grind into you. The material of his jeans was doing magic hitting against your pleasure nub above your entrance and you could feel the growing bulge adding more pressure. His elbows were near your shoulders keeping himself from crushing you as your heads moved in every direction that could deepen the kiss more and more. Your lips felt numb, rubbed raw almost but neither of you pulled away. His tongue was winning against yours in exploration drawing a light sigh from your lips when he cradled your head between his arms to keep you in place.

Your hands were playing with the collar of his shirt before running down the front of his chest to feel what was underneath. It was soft and lean muscle, the kind that someone had when they were fit even without intense exercise.

He put most of his weight on his legs as he sat back further with his calves tucked under his thighs letting his hands move down your sides bunching up your shirt. Your mouths only separated for one quick moment only enough time for him to tug your shirt off and his too. They fell somewhere on the floor as he let himself looked down at you. Your legs were still thrown over his spread thighs, his erect ion only an inch away from the space between your legs. Large hands gripped at the bend of your knees yanking your body down and closer to him until you were flush against him again. He guided your hips up searching for some friction despite both of you still being dressed below the waist. His hands were at your sides letting your hips grind back on him and it was enough for him to be draping over you again to capture your lips with his.

"You're so pretty," he mumbled against your lips as he pulled away, nose and mouth brushing over the curve of your chin down your neck, "And nice."

He was moving away now, legs still widened as he crawled down your body, kissing along your collarbone, "And you smell so good."

His face was getting closer to your chest, hands now running over your bra, "And I think about you all the time."

His hands cupped the your boobs over your bra giving them a light squeeze as his lips licked over the rounded flesh, "I think about how you'll react when I touch you."

They snaked under the bra, thumbs running over your nipples causing an immediate reaction from you, "And how soft you'll feel in my hands."

"Taehyung..." you licked your lips breathlessly arching your back up to slide your hands under and unclip the material. You yanked the straps down managing to take it off with his hands still groping at your tits. With the bra out of the way he took the chance to take your nipple into his mouth, tongue swirling around the bud until it hardened while his thumb worked the other. He gave your chest special treatment with a massage and wet kisses along your skin practically covering you in drool while your hips searched for something to rut against but his body was hovering over you yet not touching.

Once he had enough of your chest he kissed down the center of your stomach, hands sliding down to your skirt but he never took it off you. Instead, his fingers grazed over to your panties, touching the hem before sliding them down, "I wonder about how you'll taste on my tongue."

"Will you let me have a taste?" He asked, skirt covering half his face watching as you gave an impatient nod. He slid the material down your legs letting them fall to the bed. You wiggled nervously feeling his stare on your definite wet core but before you could hurry him along your mouth drew open in a sudden gasp. A blob of spit landed on your cunt from his mouth and the thick liquid felt strange against your clit due to its unexpectedness. He just spit directly on your pussy...

One of his arms was holding your thigh on his shoulder while the other let his hand swipe over his spit. His middle finger touched your clit as he rubbed the spit with your dripping arousal to make it wetter and messier too. Then, once he made sure you were coated in liquid, he flattened his tongue against your opening curving it upward to collect and decent size of wetness. His tongue rolled back into his mouth and he swallowed heavily, not even thinking about your impatient fidgeting as he got the taste he was looking for.

"Mm," he hummed in appreciation, eyes shut in bliss for a moment before letting your clit fit between his index and middle fingers as he rubbed upwards, palm on your entrance applying pressure there too. Then, he pulled away, hand doing a 180 so his fingers were facing down and he leaned forward to kiss your lips, all while your clit was still stimulated between his fingers.

"I like it," he muttered against your lips, "I think I'm gonna have more."

You weren't much of a talker during foreplay but Taehyung's deep voice had your thighs wanting to shut to stop the pool of arousal. His voice was so sensual and raspy that you didn't mind the light dirty talk. Maybe you'd whisper into his ear more since you know he likes it now. Maybe you'll even do it to him at work sometimes just to see him get riled up.

He went back down between your legs, not bothering to tease anymore as he did just that. Tongue lapping up more and more speeding up his flicking while his fingers slipped over your clit thanks to the wetness of it.

Immediately your hand went to his soft dark hair again for leverage as his ministrations picked up pace, face practically digging at your heat. It was messy, nasty almost, with the slurping sounds he made. He was lost in it too, your little sounds and the way you ground into his face was enough to egg him on to take it further. He could've been like this all night if you would have let him. Your hand tugged him back by his hair. He didn't mind the sting though ready to take your mouth back on his if that's what you wanted.

You didn't say anything sitting up watching his face contort in confusion and worry. With a hand on his chest you guided him to lie down and he submitted to your actions easily, hand over yours as you applied pressure to get him down. Once he was lying down you tugged at his zipper watching the way his stomach sunk in under your touch and the black band of his briefs was slowly exposed. He didn't bother fighting it when you tugged his jeans down along with his briefs.

Taehyung released a grunt in relief as the right denim was finally off and briefs no longer confining his erecrion. He felt heavy on his navel, thick member stiff against his happy trail. Your eyes caught the way his cock twitched at the sudden exposure. You threw his clothes to the floor moving too unzip your skirt and slide it down when he stopped your hand.

"Leave it, I want it on when you're on top," he said, thumb running over your wrist bone soothingly. The corner of your mouth turned upward in a smirk as you nodded. He wants you wearing it when you're on top? Alright.

He didn't know how to react when you turned away from him, straddling his midsection facing away from him and his hands immediately raised to try and touch you. You got on your knees, pussy in his face that he finally got what you wanted to do. He couldn't stop the animalistic growl he let out as his hands gripped your thighs pulling you back into position. Once he had you over him his mouth was on your cunt again, his chin rutting against your clit as his fingers spread you open for him to eat you out.

The only thing to make his movements slow was the softest kitten lick down the length of his cock. It caught him by surprise, balls tightening at the feeling especially when you kissed the vein underneath. With one hand you picked up his member so it was pointed to the ceiling and continued to lather him in your drool letting your mouth and tongue lick around his length. His hips began to move seeking more than just the teasing, fingernails digging into your butt as you slobbered all over him.

Once his length was wet enough you moved to his tip, tongue poking at his slit where a clear drop of precum dribbled out. You licked at it, forcing spit down his head before wrapping your around it fully. Once your mouth adjusted to his girth you began to bob your head up and down, tongue licking along his slit everything you came up before coiling around him when you went down.

Whatever you did felt good to him, his hips began moving to fit more into your mouth slowly. His arms went to your back pulling you flush against him so your butt was sticking out more and right in his face. He kept you locked in around him with one arm while the other went to your hair.

You had a bad gag reflex so it took more effort to not choke and he was bigger than any guy you've ever been with. You took as much of him as possible but your hands did most of the work. When it became too much you lifted your mouth off with a pop, drool lining the way before you moved lower.

Taehyung nearly choked in your essence at the warm and wet tightness trying to suck his testicles. Your mouth licked at the soft flesh despite how full they felt and it had him shaking.

"Aish," he hissed, eyes scrunched as his head fell against your pillows, no longer eating you out like a mad man. He needed a second to enjoy this new feeling, when your tongue licked down to his perineum, the thing like down his balls. Your hand was also jerking him off in just the right way that he was extremely close. As much as he'd like to release just like this he wanted more.  No, needed more and when your actions got bolder he couldn't take it anymore. He liked that it wasn’t a fight for control. It was equal parts in trying to pleasure each other. He wasn’t trying to be the dominant one at the moment. He was just trying to take the pleasure and go along with whatever happened. It felt so much more natural that way than him trying to force you into positions or foreplay you didn’t want to do. You were just as eager to pleasure him too and he had no problem letting you do it.

"Y/n,” he licked his dry lips, “I need you on my cock, now.”

It took you a second to think about what he was asking but he was already guiding you up trying to turn you. You crawled off him feeling his arm trying to hold you by your legs as you stretched over to your nightstand. You didn’t usually buy condoms since you didn’t have a lot of hook ups but Jungkook thought it’d be funny to gift you some after making fun of your dry spell. A true friend, really.

Taehyung took it from you puckering his lips while tearing into the packaging. You leaned over him pressing your lips against his in a quick kiss as he rolled the condom on. Once it was one he was teaching for your hand leading you back over him. He held his member up as you straddled him trying to line your entrance with his tip, skirt hiding the view but draped over his hand. You pulled his lip between your teeth in a gentle nip as you tried moving back to sit over him more.

He smacked his lips disappointedly pouting a little when you pulled away from the kiss. But he hummed in pleasure as you began to lower yourself, his tip sinking into your heat slowly. His hands on your thighs letting you adjust to his size, he had to bite into his bottom lip when your walls kept him snug.

You began to slowly move up and down to speed the stretching process despite the slight discomfort. You could see the struggle he was facing at the wait and honestly you couldn’t wait either. Your hands were on his chest using him for leverage before you gained more rhythm.

Your movement began to include some grinding letting your folds get stimulated with the added movement. His hands were under your skirt groping the rounds of your ass, nails digging into the plump flesh letting his hips buck to match your pace.

“Oh fuck,” he grunted, low deep gasps escaping his lips, “… so tight.”

“Tae,” you whined letting the shortened name slip as your head fell forward, “You feel so good.”

You were breathless, putting more weight on your hands and knees so you could bounce your hips repeatedly, rotating them as best as you could to reach new angles. With the change of rhythm his arm wrapped around your lower back again, pressing you against him making you collapse over him. Your head fell by his neck feeling the tightness of his arms around your waist as he dug his heels into the mattress so he could fuck up into you. He matched your rhythm and the new angle stimulated your clit making you whine softly into his ear.

Your cute little sounds we’re making his hips stutter, “Big—you’re so big,” you moaned into his ear.

He reacted immediately, mouth drawn open trying to find your mouth to kiss but instead for your shoulder, “Gonna cum soon pretty girl?”

“Mhm,” you silently mewled, the soft sounds tickling the sweet spot in his ear to the pointer where his hand was pressing into your tailbone and before you knew it you were flipped onto your back. In this new position he reached a deeper level with your legs wrapped around him.

With a few more deep thrusts you were falling apart. Your orgasm hit you in a frenzy, hips twitching over his length feeling your ring of nerves tighten around him.

He ease his cock into you riding out your high but with the way your walls seemed to puffed around him it became too much. It took one more roll of your hips for him to release. He groaned into your ear cumming into the condom, both of you riding the wave for a moment.

After letting you relax around him again Taehyung pulled out gently. You were both covered in a thin layer of sweat but he left tender touches on your shaking thighs moving to lay down next to you. You looked at each other lovingly taking your hand in his kissing your knuckles, “Was that too much?”

You shook your head no in response before turning on your side, “Come here.”

He scooted closer lifting an arm for you to crawl under and wrapped around you holding you to his chest. Taehyung felt like he could think properly again, more clearly and not as lust filled. He stayed quiet for a moment trying to unravel all the details of what you’d told him earlier.

“We did things backwards,” he sighed, his tone was light almost teasing, “I was supposed to take you out to dinner first.”

“What about breakfast?” You asked. He made a face in thought before smiling, squeezing you a little, “Breakfast works.”

You snuggled into him some more as he held you closely. He played with the hand he still held, the one he kissed, intertwining your fingers then separating them only to do it all over again. You couldn’t help but smile at a certain thought, “I thought you were supposed to be mean and hard to approach but you weren’t ever like that with me.”

“Maybe I just liked you since the beginning,” he shrugged not bothering to confirm nor deny the rumors. He was just a private person and he felt comfortable around you enough to open it. He’d been attracted to you all along even when you tried getting him with So Hyun.

And it really was you all along. He still kept his guard up around everyone else and he doesn’t see that changing. If anything he’ll probably distance himself further from people interested him. He wants to respect you and the future of your relationship.

“Just so we’re clear too, no more trying to set me up with your friends,” he said teasingly but serious at the same time, “Because I’m yours, nobody else’s.”

“Am I yours too?” You looked up at him with rounded sparkly eyes. He kissed the tip of your nose, “And nobody else’s.”

You completely missed the ringing of your phone that was left in the living. The text from So Hyun that went unnoticed.

sohyun: I’m sorry for being mean

sohyun: I don’t want us arguing and if y’all like each other I can’t be mad

sohyun: ur my best friend and I luv u

sohyun: ps Jungkook told me u were with taehyung

sohyun: I’m jealous but also :’) happy for u
