I Ship It | Jungkook Ft. Jimin And Taehyung

I Ship It | Jungkook ft. Jimin and Taehyung

Summary line: Different members of BTS are subtly matchmaking other members to you

Jimin had one arm, and Taehyung had another. Together, they attempted to pull their young Jungkookie out of bed. Unfortunately, all they got was a sliding slug from the couch to the floor.

Namjoon had fallen asleep before Jungkook again, which is never a surprise because Jungkook hardly sleeps early. Namjoon’s snoring has been getting worse and Jungkook was too irritated to try sleeping above the bed of a bulldozer last night.

“Come on! It’s fun! Our friends from high school are fun!” Jimin crouched down to Jungkook’s body on the floor and nudged his shoulder.

“I’m surprised you still keep in touch with them.” Jungkook mumbled and turned his head away from Jimin. Jimin “tsked” him and got up, letting Taehyung come in to give it a shot.

“We’re going for ice cream. I’ll treat you and Jimin.” That got a twitch from Jungkook’s eyebrows though his eyes stayed closed. Tae doesn’t really pay for people a lot. That’s interesting.

“Mmm…” Jungkook groaned and rolled over before sitting up with his eyes still closed. Taehyung patted his back with a smile and got up, telling him that he has 20 minutes before they leave.

“Your treat, huh?” Jimin put an arm on Taehyung’s shoulder as they waited for Jungkook to get ready, “You’re being pretty obvious.”

“Ah, he’s too tired to think about that right now anyway. Besides, one day, he’ll be treating us to a whole wedding feast.” Taehyung winked and Jimin laughed.

Jungkook had his head down at his phone playing games for a while now. The trio was already at the ice-cream parlor and sat down, waiting for Jimin and Taehyung’s old high school classmates. If he had noticed his surroundings, he would have recognized Taehyung’s nervous habit of bouncing his knees and Jimin who keeps glancing at the door.

There was a ring of a bell that signaled customer entry into the shop. Taehyung and Jimin shot up, which to Jungkook also did belatedly.

“Hi!” You threw your arms outward as you walked over to your two ex-classmates. You would have shouted their names, but you didn’t want to cause that much attention. Just by checking out their corner table, you knew they want to keep it on the down-low.

Jimin let go of you and then Taehyung came in next for your embrace. You looked at the corner of you eye to see a very familiar face through a screen, but never in person.

“Hi, Jungkook.” You said very friendly. He smiled and nodded at you.

“Have you guys picked your ice cream yet? Let me pay. I haven’t seen you guys in forever.” You pointed to yourself and led the boys to the line in front of the ice cream display.

“I promised that I would treat Jungkook and Jimiin if he came out because it’s so rare, so it’s okay.” Taehyung smiled at you.

“Well it’s even rarer that I get to see you guys, so I want to. I’ll treat Jungkook. It’s okay, right?” You looked at all three of them.

“Okay, I’ll treat you next time, Jungkook.” Taehyung patted Jungkook on the shoulder. You and Jimin were up ahead to chat while Jungkook and Taehyung stayed behind you two.

“Don’t you guys have more friends, I thought more people were coming.” Jungkook asked Taehyung.

“Y/N doesn’t have a normal schedule, so we’ll meet up with the others. We’re just meeting up with Y/N right now. She’s all we need anyway. She’s really cool. She’s majoring in Kinesiology to be an athletic trainer. She works at a gym and volunteers at that children’s foster home we went to a couple years ago, we introduced it to her and now she goes every other week.” Taehyung smiled gleefully, gushing about his wonderful friend as he watched his other wonderful friend staring at the back of your head as he listened about you.

“What do you guys want?” You turned back to them. Jungkook stared at you for just an extra two seconds to see your face with a relaxed smile. He mirrored yours.

“Are you eating? I feel like I should have told them to give you an extra scoop.” You nudged Jimin at your side.

“I eat!” Jimin promised.

“He just exercises twice as much to lose what he gained.” Taehyung also shared your disapproving look at Jimin.

“Look, I’m all about exercising, but please don’t exhaust yourself. Overdoing it will just give you a backlash.” You stuffed another spoonful of your ice cream.

“I don’t want people to worry about me. I won’t let it go too far.” Jimin said. You frowned because you felt like it wasn’t enough for you.

“Jimin, I really care about you, I know you. I really care about all of you.” You emphasized, looking around the table, “No one will love you any less for gaining an extra pound. No one will love you any more just because you have abs. You’re you and ARMY loves you. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be ARMY and you don’t have to worry about those people, okay.” You ducked your head to get better eye contact with Jimin.

Jimin nodded and leaned his head on top of yours, “Thanks.”

Jungkook watched the exchange and his eyes were locked in on your contact. He cleared his throat. What was he doing?

“So, y/n, where do you study?” At Jungkook’s interjection to have a direct conversation with you, Jimin and Taehyung exchanged looks.

“SNU. I’m starting my third year at the next term, so it will be more about my major’s core classes. I’m so excited to be done with the general ed.”

“You want to know how she got in? She was the lifeguard of the school swimming pool and saved the child of the dean. He personally reviewed her transcripts, application, and handpicked her to be one of the people to have an in-person interview. It was so cool!” Jimin jumped excitedly. Jungkook looked at you and you looked down to your ice cream as you scooped your last bit and smiled.

“That’s so cool!” Jungkook leaned in with a grin.

“Thank you. But Jimin, you’re not my mother, stop telling that story to everyone. It’s getting embarrassing.”

“What, I’ve only told Jungkook, and Yoongi-hyung, Hoseok-hyung, Seokjin-hyung, Namjoon-hyung, our makeup noona, coordi noona, teacher Son, Bang – “

“Jimin!” You laughed.

“How come the others heard about y/n first?” Jungkook asked, specifically his hyungs.

“They’ve actually met her before. Even Yoongi-hyung. You’re last on the list.” Taehyung licked his spoon and dropped it in the empty cup.

“If you want to meet other cool people, you should come out more. Even Yoongi-hyung beat you to y/n!” Jimin teased.

“One’s all I need.” Jungkook mumbled. You raised an eyebrow. He thought he was quiet, but even if the shops fans spun faster, you could have heard him. Not only you, Taehyung and Jimin also heard him. It amused them two because they know competitive Jungkook, but this is the first time anyone has ever seen him like this.

“I need to catch the bus. I’ll see you guys next time.” You collected everyone’s empty cups and dirty napkins and got up to throw it in the trash can. You came back to the table and the boys stood up. Jimin and Taehyung gave you a good bye hug. You looked at Jungkook.

“I know it’s the first time I met you, but can I give you a hug?” Jungkook gave a smile, suppressing the nervous expression, and nodded. You stepped forward and gave him a hug. Oh my God, you smell like fresh laundry.

You waved bye to them and they walked in the opposite direction of you. Jungkook was the last to turn away from your retreating figure.

“What gym does she work at?” Jungkook asked, super subtle.

“It’s the fourth closest gym near BigHit. We don’t go to that one because ours is still closer to between us and BigHit.” Taehyung informed. Jungkook only hummed and looked back down at his phone.

“It’s not that far. It would be a good run.” Jungkook mumbled to himself as he zoomed in the map on his phone.

Jimin and Taehyung exchanged winks. They’ll see you again very soon.

This is a short series I’m going to be doing. Not every member will be matched, but every member will appear in the series. If you wanna know who is going to be matched, I’ll give you a hint. During the “BTS, please choose” corner, there was one question where they were split 4-3 where Suga and Jin were not in the same group. That question has all the extroverts in the same group +1.

Also, thank you @bangtan-writing for helping me out with sorting out some throughts for this scenario series. Mwah!

A Confidence Game 1.2 | BTS Mafia and Con Artist AU

Plot: Hoseok and Minsuk’s parents have died 11 years ago and they have been con artists for 8 years now. The moment Hoseok wants Minsuk to have a chance to start a new life, the Bangtan mafia approaches them to pull one last con.

Character Profiles | Previous chapter

Part 1: Foundation Work: The preparations, which are made before the scheme is put in motion, including the elaboration of the plan, the employment of assistants, and so forth.

Over the weekend, Minsuk and Hoseok go to Seoul to get to know the university, the area, and go to the bank to make some bank-to-bank transfers. Minsuk already layered the last bit of the money through online banking in one account. This time she’s going to layer some in person from a different account. This con was the biggest one the two of them have ever pulled; kind of as the last hurrah before they leave the game for good and also for raising Minsuk’s college fund. 

Since it is first time they conned such a large amount, she and Hoseok have set up numerous accounts in different countries, aside from the ones they already have. Majority of the money are in off-shore accounts in those countries and they have accountants there on high authority of secrecy that help them launder those thoroughly. They basically help set up regular transfers in-and-out of those accounts to give the impression of income and investments. Each transfer in each account has varied amounts and they cover its origins to be from its own country. After this, the pair will go on a wonderful shopping spree, to launder a small amount through purchasing assets and also a way to celebrate.

“Gangnam prices are crazy.” Minsuk mumbles as Hoseok hands his card over to the waiter to pay for the lunch.

“It’s not that much more expensive, food-wise. Not like we don’t have the money for it. And it was well spent. Look at your plate! You practically licked it clean.” Hoseok laughs at her as he stuffs his wallet into his back pocket. She looks at her plate.

The restaurant has a dark atmosphere with one lamp over every table. The light is blinding through the reflection of her large white plate. Food residue is apparent, but Hoseok is right, she had taken her finger to wipe the last bit of sauce off the plate.

“If I don’t have you with me, I probably wouldn’t come to such an expensive place though.” she sighs, subtly reminding him how much of an impact it was for her that he wouldn’t be with her. He caught it, but he isn’t going to let her off like that.

“Well, you will be once a week. Remember? I will visit you all the time.” He grins. She returns a half smile. She’s normally more stubborn than he is, but this is one thing the two of them have argued time and time again. If he put his foot down so many times, she knows he will out-stubborn her on this one.

He isn’t just arguing with her though, he knows that if he wants her to see it through his way, she needs to see what is offered in his ideas. They have visited the university campus and to be honest, the both of them really had a blast. He got her excited about going back to school and learning everything in a more formal, but casual setting.

They walked into one of the summer classes, and since it was college, no one really cares. She loves the feeling of anonymity but also being of something bigger, it was being in a con to her. He told her to have fun. She could even go in with different personalities. He played on her playful and creative spirit she indulges in whenever she has to pull a con; just as long as the teachers who actually takes attendance knows who she is. He made her laugh and get embarrassed when he winked at some college girls in passing. She’s going to have to keep him off campus, for college girls’ sake.

“Where to next?” she asks when the two of them step out of the restaurant.

“I think, we should go invest in some stocks.” He winks. They hop onto a train to make their way to the stock exchange.

Today is super packed and they have to squish themselves in the middle; but with Hoseok, Minsuk is still content.

Hoseok is her pillar of strength wherever she goes and she will comfortably admit her dependence on her brother. As much as he enjoys her dependence on him, he often feels the complete opposite. Minsuk gives him something to live for. He honestly feels dependent on her, for her dependence on him. He loves the fact that it has always the two of them against the world. But when two people are co-dependent on each other, they will spiral down into reclusive existence. He can’t allow that to happen to her. She has a lot to offer to this world and he needs others to see her. He needs her to see that. The cons had implanted darkness in her like a parasite. He’s so afraid that it will be all that she ever knows. She has to see what else she can do with her life.

The overhead voice in the train notifies them of their stop, but it is also for just about everyone else. At first, there is not much to think about, just to keep herself from tripping over, but Minsuk starts to notice some sort of pattern that has everyone moving her along, farther than Hoseok, him being forced back. She wants to turn her head, but with everyone forcing her body forward, she can’t orient herself properly. She feels like Batman in a stiff suit.

Hoseok notices the pattern too and senses intention to it. He starts to assert himself to shove through everyone. His heart rate and breath quickens as strangers’ heads disorient his vision of Minsuk getting farther and farther away. When he finally makes his way through, she’s gone. 

He has his hands up in his hair as he feels anxiety. When the two of them were still starting out as amateurs, not every paper trail was burned. Not every con from start to finish had been finished completely clean and they both had their fair share of repercussions. Since eight years ago, the two of them have been able to improve their act for clean executions but they can’t be sure if they are able to cover all their past tracks. For all he knows, this is another person who had finally tracked them down.

His phone rings and he knows it was Minsuk. He picks it up without looking and keeps looking around.

“Where did you go?”

“Calm down.” her voice is far too calm, it’s rigid. He looks at the phone and it’s Minsuk’s number. So at least she can communicate.

“Where are you?” He takes a deep breath and asks a little more calmly this time. Whoever has her, they want him to cooperate.

“The information of where they’re taking me is stored in my phone. Hack into it and you will figure out where I’m going. I’ll see you later.” And then the phone is cut off. Hoseok closes his eyes and sighs. This is a test. If it is a test, then this isn’t going to be the end of it. Either way, he needs to find Minsuk before anything else.

He quickly sets himself aside to a corner and opens his bag to take out his laptop. He hacks into Minsuk’s phone too many times for cyber security purposes; he basically created his own security system in her phone to keep her phone from being hacked. He keeps hacking into her phone in order to know how to improve its system; so at this point, only he knows how to get into her phone and all her history. Luckily she doesn’t have anything to hide from him, especially when they agreed for him to do so on her phone. 

It takes him 2 minutes to hack into Minsuk’s phone. She doesn’t have any files, no new contact information, where is he going to find the information? He searches her browsing history and finds two paired sets of three and four digits. He instantly clicks that they are phone numbers but the pairs are obviously scrambled. He fixes the numbers and gets two phone numbers. He hacks the two phone numbers and although they are obviously just disposable, they also have a security system from being hacked. But they are next to nothing compared to his hacking system. 

He quickly gets in and finds one latitude coordinate and one longitude coordinate on the two different numbers. The moment he gets the two coordinates, the phones disappear from his screen; they are destroyed. He plugs in the two coordinates on an online map and finds the address. He looks up and sees that the train that is about to leave is the one he needs to take. He jumps up with all his stuff and scrambles his way, luckily there are less people and he makes it in time.

When he settles himself, he looks at the address more closely. It is a hotel in Gangnam; they were just there in the restaurant of that hotel. It’s possible that the two of them had been followed since then. But if someone has worked their way into phones and kidnapping, obviously they’ve been watching them for a while. All of this is premeditated.

He rubs his face and puts away his computer; he knows where he needs to go now. He watches the train map above the door. The blinking light indicates that he has two more stops. That’s two stops too many.

The moment he steps into the hotel, he realizes he is still missing one more crucial piece of information. This hotel is big. He doesn’t know her exact location.

He hacks into her phone again, hoping to look for any new information. There is a new memo note on her phone with 7 symbols. He breaks the encryption to turn the symbols into numbers and hacks into the new number. Once again, there is another memo note on the new number: 1164-816.

He rushes to the elevator to the top floor, where the room numbers starts on 1100’s.

On the top floor, he finds the room which is the penthouse suite with a number keypad. He punches in 816 and enters.

His first instinct is to focus on Minsuk and he sees her sitting on a chair with her legs crossed and her hands resting in her lap. Her head whips to the sound of the door opening. Her nervousness turns into relief. He rushes his way towards you but is stopped by men.

“Hello, Mr. Jung. Let him go, boys.” Hoseok looks to the man who had given the orders. He is a young man, probably younger than Hoseok. He has orange hair that is parted in the middle and his hair waves out. He is shorter than him, but most definitely more built than him. He is obviously a fighting type. By strength, this man overpowers Hoseok, but Hoseok is an accurate speedster. He wonders how he would fair in a fight with this man. But something tells Hoseok that he won’t fight him unless Hoseok throws the first punch. Either that or he was given an order.

This man has the mark of the mafia. The man has many thick and heavy rings on his fingers, but there is a gold one that stands out. There is probably an insignia on it but Hoseok is too far away to see it clearly. If only he sees it, he’d know which mafia they are dealing with.

Hoseok walks slower this time to reach Minsuk. She holds her hands out and he connects with her as soon as he gets close enough. Her hands are still warm; that is a good sign.

“Get Mr. Jung a chair; he’s been running all over the place. How are you? Do you need some water?” Hoseok looks to Minsuk’s side to see her glass of water. She obviously drank some, so the water is safe. Even so.

“No, thank you.” One of the men sets a chair next to Minsuk and Hoseok slowly sits down. His hand never leaves hers. He looks to her and her eyes speak only confusion. If her eyes still holds confusion, that means that she hasn’t been able to obtain any information about why they took her and why the two of them are here. Either she is too cautious or they won’t budge. At least her eyes don’t hold any fear.

“Now that you two are here. Let me just say, it is incredible to see you work, Mr. Jung. And the swiftness when you rushed through those train doors. Talk about cutting it close. I was actually really nervous, I wasn’t sure if you’d notice that it was the train you had to take. It was like watching a movie.” This man was watching him?

“Oh, by the way. I’m Jimin.” The orange top finally introduces himself.

“Why are we here?” Hoseok asks directly.

“You’re not nearly as tactful as your sister.  She at least tried to have a regular conversation first.” Jimin shakes his head in disapproval. He grabs a chair and sits down in front of them two; very casually to keep the mood light.

“Anyway, it’s been an honor to see your work. I wanted to ask you, why do you think you’re here? I mean, you came so willingly. I know it was for your sister and she must be your everything, but there was absolutely no hesitation. All for your sister. I’ll admit, I find that very admirable of you.” Jimin goes on talking about the two of them until he realizes he isn’t getting any reaction out of either of them.

“So, I mean, back to our topic. Take a guess. Why are you here? I bet you noticed by now, I’m in the mafia, Bangtan to be exact.” Hoseok stiffens in his seat now that his speculation is confirmed. Bangtan mafia is quite big, as far as their influence goes. Even when they went over to the States to set up accounts, they heard whispers of Bangtan’s name. It’s a big deal that a big mafia group would spot out the two of them; unsuspecting con artists who works for themselves.

“Who was it?” Hoseok asks, “Who did we con that made you notice us? Was it an associate of yours? Another member? I’m sorry. But let my sister go. I’m the one that plans our cons, not her. She’s usually the one who executes it, that’s all.”

“But isn’t she the one who picks your mark first?” Jimin points out. He knows that she’s the picker. So that must mean that they’ve been followed for a while.

“It’s okay. It’s not the point. I mean, yes. A lot of your cons deal with the rich, and well, you’ve crossed us before. Do you know how much you took from us? We saw them first, but you two strike faster than a King Cobra. Once again though, I applaud your eye for the ignorant. It would seem that you two are very compatible with our vision, our targets.” It clicks into Hoseok that this isn’t about revenge. Something about Jimin’s demeanor that tells Hoseok that today is not about murder or revenge. He sees Minsuk shift in her seat. She’s caught on as well; probably a little earlier than Hoseok because she’s been here longer, just needed more evidence.

“You want us to do a job.” Minsuk finally speaks up, declaratively more than interrogatively. This whole time, they aren’t watching the two of them, per say, they are watching their work. The mafia is very business-like. Her guess is that they are looking for potential associates.

Jimin looks at her and throws his head back in laughter, “Very intuitive, Ms. Jung. Yes, we do. We need someone of your talents. You see, there’s a po – “

“No.” Hoseok declines, cutting off Jimin. Jimin looks at Hoseok in surprise. Hoseok’s not sure if it’s because Hoseok declines, or because he interrupted Jimin.

“We are not con artists for-hire. And we just did our last con.” Hoseok is going to put his foot down. He already doesn’t want Minsuk to mess around in this life anymore. And it’s even worse now. 

The mafia wants her to plunge her hands in filth again. They will want to control the con, not her. They will keep her in their books longer than she will live. All this time, the two of them have been doing all of this for survival, not for money; at least Hoseok wasn’t. Minsuk isn’t doing it for the money either, but she might have taken to the thrill of a con. He needs that to stop. There will be no turning back with the mafia.

“I know. Your sister is going off to college, you have a stable job. I get it. It sounds like a great time to start anew. We can help you. We can pay for your sister’s college.” Minsuk perks up at the mention of that. That would mean the money they saved up for her college could be used for something else. Say, an apartment in Seoul for Hoseok.

“We only need one job from you guys. This is a make-it-or-break-it on our end so after this, there’s no point in asking for more help from you two. Not that we will cut you out after helping us, no, no. We never forget the help, we don’t hurt those who help us. We simply want your help on one job. Afterwards, your life is still yours to live. Not ours. We will not hold anything against you. We will burn every paper trail of your existence that will connect to us in anyway. If we ever get caught and give names, not that we ever will in general, but your name goes to the grave with us. We can promise on that.” Jimin looks at the pair seriously.

The funny thing about the underbelly of every society, there is like some sort of code for the evil.  The rest of the society always gets hurt because they don’t retaliate; no eye for eye. But every criminal has their individual abilities to hurt another, and they’re not afraid to do so if anyone ever crosses them. It’s the reason why there are no secrets. One will never hurt anyone who has the ability to hurt one back, and possibly twice as hard. But criminals are still skeptical in every corner, believing it’s the way to stay alive. If one wants cooperation, it’s best to keep one-self open and loyal, put honesty in every word.

Still, the two of them are con artists. Hoseok is right, they never did a job for anyone else, so why start now, when they want to end this career? Jimin personally thinks that they contacted them a little too late, but it isn’t his job to speak up about that. He looks back and forth between them too. Minsuk obviously shows interest, but still wants to know more. Hoseok just looks stern.

Jimin sighs; the administration really should have asked Tae to do this. He gets up to go to the next room and speed-dials.

“Yoongi, it seems that the brother is a little more hesitant right now. Minsuk looks interested but she’s not going to move if her brother won’t. I really think Tae should take over at this point. I –“

“Don’t worry about it, you’re doing just fine. We expected this to happen.” The underboss reassures Jimin, but that just makes him more confused.

“If you didn’t think I was going to get them at the first try, then why’d you –“

“You are step one.” A few more words from Yoongi and he hangs up. Jimin scrunches his lips to one side. Okay; whatever Yoongi says, goes.

Jimin goes back to the room where Hoseok and Minsuk are quietly talking to each other.

“So, how goes it? What do you think?” Jimin asks with a smile.

“If you really wanted cooperation, first of all, you’re not giving us enough information to agree to anything. Secondly, you started on the wrong foot. How is taking my sister going to make me want to cooperate with you?”

“Fair enough,” Jimin shrugs, “So let’s start all over. How about dinner?”

I Ship It | Suga ft. Jin

Summary lines: Different members of BTS are subtly matchmaking other members to you

“I swear, he’s not scary. A little serious…okay, a lot serious. But when he hears you’re ARMY, he’ll be very nice, I promise you.” Jin smiled as he led you through the hallways of BigHit.

You’re Jin’s classmate and you got to work with him through two projects in the past two semesters, lucky you! He had such a brotherly feel to him, with a dash of motherly care, of course.

You knew that he wouldn’t be showing up on school grounds for a while now, since BTS had quite a bit of work to prepare for the next album. So you were going to be a good friend, and ARMY, by supporting him through school work; helping him catch up, reminding him of any upcoming quizzes or homework he can actually turn in online, etc. As his gratitude, he invited you for coffee in the local coffee shop while you share class notes with him, but first, stop by to say hi to all the BTS members!

The dance line was in the dance studio, stretching out before practicing some new moves. You actually got to see a glimpse of the legendary serious J-Hope as he was making small moves to track his choreo. When he saw an unfamiliar face, he immediately stopped to know who you were. Jin had introduced you and J-hope automatically turned into his sunshine state and shook your hand vigorously. Luckily you haven’t seen anything concrete so the choreo was safe to continue to work on. Jimin was a smiling angel and Jungkook was polite.

V and Rap Monster were in Rap Monster’s studio. Apparently V was sharing some new lyric ideas with Rap Monster one-on-one. You could probably guess that V was going to be able to participate in one of the songs in the next album and that was always exciting. You’ve never been to their fan meets or got to see them up close and personal before. V had such a deep voice and looked beautiful. Rap Monster was a dimpled mess in his studio. Oh, and his studio!!! You felt like there was a rush of a thousand philosophical gurus rushing into your body, inspiring you to work hard.

Now Suga, you knew he was just as sweet as his name, even if he didn’t show it as readily as everyone else, but you knew what you saw majority is probably what you’re going to get. Also he’s only mostly sweet for the people he is closer to. He was so straightforward, you don’t expect him to be anything else but what you saw through a camera lens. Even so, he made you nervous. It didn’t help that he was your favorite.

You’re pretty quiet and subtle. Every performance and interview, there was a essence to him that kind of threw you off. A little unpredictable when he would be serious and straightforward, or when he would let loose and goof off with the rest of Bangtan. You really liked relaxed people because they made you feel at ease and you tend to enjoy peaceful friends. What if you were accidentally clumsy and he scolded you at first meet? You are so timid and you’re scared that his presence makes it difficult for you to breathe.

Jin knocked on Suga’s studio door and you subtly cowered behind his broad shoulders. Jin turned his head to look at you and gave you a smile like, “Why are you so cute?” He took you by the elbow and pulled you forward to stand next to him rather than behind him.

“Come in.” Jin opened the door and nodded his head for you to follow him in. You took in the atmosphere of his room. You’ve seen the pictures and it didn’t do it justice. If Rap Monster had the presence of a thousand philosophical gurus in his room, Suga had a thousand musical prodigies in his. You felt sensitive to all his musical instruments and tech in the room; all of this to create music, his music. The speakers would overflow with his sound and his taste. The screens can reveal his secret notes. Rap Monster had his tech off as he spoke with V earlier, so it didn’t hit you as strong. Rather, Rap Monster’s presence was wise and caring, even if he was slightly younger than you. He was the leader type indeed. But as second-in-command, Suga’s presence was strong as well.

“Hey, Suga. I brought a friend from school, y/n. We’re going to the coffee shop down the street but I wanted her to meet everyone first.” Suga finished his last application to his current song and minimized his work before you could see clearly, which you couldn’t anyway since you stayed far away and couldn’t see anything on the screen behind your view of his head.

He swiveled on his chair and finally saw you. He saw you. Not as ARMY, but as y/n, whoever you are as a person. Timid person, for sure. You weren’t sure why, but this didn’t hit you the same way as when you met the others. He had a piercing gaze, but it wasn’t to judge you or anything. Just to recognize the stranger in his sanctuary. Was this intruding to him?

“Hi.” He gave a small smile and wave like you’ve seen him so many times when taking pictures.

“Nice to meet you.” You knew he wasn’t supposed to be an intimidating person at all, so you did your best to calm down and not make him feel like you were intimidated. You gave a polite smile in return.

“What class are you in with Jin?”

“Body Expressions.”

“That sounds fun. So it’s like reading body language.”

“More of how to express it, but yes, if you can read it, you can probably express it just as well.” Bringing up the class reminded you that you could practice the theories right now. Read Suga and express confidence and calmness.

You recalled when he minimized his windows, his shoulders slightly raised. He wasn’t expecting you and he felt the need to be aware of the stranger. But after your greeting, his shoulders relaxed again. Below his piercing gaze, his lips were not tight and subtly curved upward more than straight or curved downward. He was relaxed so you weren’t intruding his personal space. His feet were straight forward, directed at your direction, so you were actually the center of his attention. He wasn’t griping on his arm rests but his hands hovered over him as his arms were rested.

“So we’re going to get coffee, do you want me to bring you back anything?” Jin grabbed Suga’s attention. Suga swiveled the chair slightly at Jin, but his feet stayed where they were.

“Black coffee please.” Jin nodded and looked between the two of you. Suga just stared at you, with no indication on his part that he felt uncomfortable at all. You on the other hand, are not used to his roommate’s piercing gaze. Whether or not Jin made it worse is up to perspective.

“Y/N tells me you’re her favorite. So she’s a little nervous.” Jin told Suga and you looked at him horrified.

The corners of Suga’s lips twitched upwards and he looked back at you.

“Oh yeah? What do you like about me?” Countless fans have expressed their affection to Suga, this was nothing new.

“U-um…I’m not too good with words.” You looked down, guilty. This is practically a once in a lifetime opportunity and you didn’t prepare yourself to express yourself as thoroughly and as sincerely as you wanted to.

“It’s okay then. You can tell me next time.” Suga smiled at you. You smiled back and quickly excused yourself and Jin. You left the room fanning yourself as your mind repeated his last two words over and over.

Out of your hearing range, Jin quickly turned back to Suga and asked, “What do you think about her?”

“She’s quiet.” Suga said and quickly spun back to his work.

As Jin and you left the building, Jin couldn’t wipe the grin off his face, he was so excited. He vowed to himself to take you back here another time to tell Suga what you think of him because he already knew what Suga thought.

His roommate loves quiet.

This is a short series I’m going to be doing. Not every member will be matched, but every member will appear in the series. If you wanna know who is going to be matched, I’ll give you a hint. During the “BTS, please choose” corner, there was one question where they were split 4-3 where Suga and Jin were not in the same group. That question has all the extroverts in the same group + 1.

I’ve got A Confidence Game to work on and finish off Jungkook’s First Impression Scenario, but I’m kind of deciding to change career paths after I’ve just walked my commencement and finishing up my credits this summer (and that’s still an issue to address)...it sucks and anxiety is filled to the brim, but it must be done. Have patience please. So until then, here’s another short series for you to anticipate.

Also, thank you @bangtan-writing for helping me out with sorting out some thoughts for this scenario series.

2 (Guess who!) | 3 (Guess who!)

Of course you surround yourself with music, my friend. You are music. So be a little more fluid like it. Let the music flow out of you naturally. You will find treasures because it comes from you and it’s raw. I personally like things raw because it’s when you can see everything clearly exactly as it truly is. I can’t wait to hear it. There’s so much music out there, and so much more waiting to be created. It’s okay that there’s so much that you are coming up with. You’ve lived, breathed, and applied music. It will be beautiful.

I know that it always feels like there’s so much to do but so little time, it’s very frustrating. But I’m grateful that the world and time does not run on my watch. A lot of the times, I can become very stagnant. It’s only time and the rest of the world that reminds me that I need to keep going. The world doesn’t stop for me, and if it did, there would be chaos. Yes, there is a lot of things that we feel like we should do, but when you are stressed and frustrated, it really, really, really helps to lean back, close your eyes, and breathe. Despite needing to continue, there are moments where we must bring ourselves back down into peace. Don’t ever regret the moments you need to take to feel peace.

Would you like help from feeling overwhelmed? You keep coming up with different melodies and keywords, you say? I personally bask in those moments where I come up with so much inspiration and possibilities. Creativity is not something that should be contained. But I understand the need to stay on track. 

Keep your mind on task of what you are currently working on. Record your simple idea of the melodies you keep coming up with and title it as one of the keywords. It’s how I keep track of all the ideas I get. You don’t ignore the creative sparks, but you won’t derail from your task either. 

I’m so excited to hear how much you prepare for ARMY, we are really spoiled by Bangtan. But keep in mind, ARMY are people too, and people care about loved ones mental, emotional, and physical health. We really wish for you all to take care of yourselves. I never want my loved ones to feel lonely. I wish I could quietly be by your side as you work. I wouldn’t want to stop or bother you, but I would hope that just by being there, you wouldn’t feel lonely. I wish to do that for all of Bangtan, especially when you feel troubled.

I’m always inspired by Bangtan. I listen to you every day. I love hearing what Bangtan comes up with because I feel like I get to know you. Bangtan is so unique and I love it.

For me personally, perfect understanding comes from the Bible. I don’t really think you would, but if you ever read it, I recommend the four books, known as the Gospel: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and/or John. Proverbs is a whole book on wisdom, I would also recommend that.

Love, Smiles

【160405】 BTS RAP MONSTER FANCAFE Trans

When the day is completely filled, I usually can fall asleep easily but today, for some reason I can’t fall asleep so I’m wide awake writing this.

Lately, I’m still surrounding myself with music. And I’m also rearranging my studio. I have so much inspirations but I don’t have much time, my skills also lack, the mental and physical aspects cannot coincide, so I feel frustrated. I’m also preparing some things that I will show in May(‘s concert), but I always feel anxious about everything. And I feel confident at the same time. I can’t always feel at ease. As always, my heart/mind goes up and down. It seems that I can’t do anything about it.

From the moment I pay attention to myself and others, there are so many melodies and keywords that comes up in my mind lately. And I wish there were 48 hours in a day, there are things that I have to do and want to do, and I also want to close my eyes for a moment. And I feel like I’m in the midst of different emotions, I feel like I’m wandering with no direction/ aims. But I still feel 23 years old. I get headaches but it feels like I’m wearing clothes that suits me, so I like it. Like how it’s always said, people want to be alone but they don’t like being lonely, this is what humans are like.

Lately, as I’ve started to arrange songs, I feel thankful that I can clearly show my own colors through my spectrum and I can do something at this age in this environment. I just hope the inspirations and energies that I feel will reach your ears through nice music notes.

+) And if I suddenly think of something, the air will immediately change. And even the smell of my breath becomes different. Does perfect understanding really exist? I still don’t know about myself.

As expected, I can’t make up my mind just like the weather. The weather is always cold and then gets hot. 

Please be careful not to catch a cold. Soon, we will meet in a better state/ appearance. Good night and thank you.

Trans: KIMMYYANG

I know the exact feeling you describe about trying to not cry, and when you want to, it doesn't come easy, or it doesn't come at all. I'm so happy for you to be able to relieve your emotions. It's an honor that you do that in front of ARMY. We love you and of course we will always protect you, walk with you, run with you, sing with you. Hell, many of us attempt to rap and dance with you. I know you have a lot to share with us. I also know it's going to be wonderful. I can be patient. I trust you and that you will do your best! Same with the rest of Bangtan!

*side note, rest well, Jungkookie!!!!! Don't feel guilty for being sick, DO YOU HEAR ME?! I will not stand for another one of Bangtan feeling guilty about being human. Limits is what makes us human. But how we overcome our own guilt, shame, and shortcomings is what makes us inspiring, admirable, and radiant. So just rest well and come back. Once again, ARMY will be patient and will trust you. You are doing just fine, just rest. You and all of Bangtan are most loved, okay? Don't think about anything else and feel better! 

I know you can return to the events and activities now, but still dude, seriously, I stand by what I said. Don’t over exert yourself. Don’t blame yourself for scaring us. Just get better and be you. Let me see your bunny smile.

Love, Smiles

BTS RAP MONSTER’S FANCAFE POST 160510

© btsfc (ig)

Fifth Year of Hogwarts | BTS Hogwarts AU

Last Year

Namjoon was appointed as the male prefect in Gryffindor

Hoseok was appointed as the male prefect in Hufflepuff

Yoongi was appointed as the male prefect in Slytherin

In order to be fair to these three, the group decided to not stay in the Room of Requirement every night and return to their dormitories.

Namjoon obviously was the perfect prefect. He diligently taking care of the first years, making sure that everyone do their best, etc. People are already making bets that he will be Head Boy in his seventh year.

As a prefect, he’s a little more rebellious than he should be. That’s basically too much since a prefect is to not be rebellious at all, but no one ever believes that mischievous side so he gets away with it. Although he’s the rules and guidelines man, he really doesn’t care to break a few of them himself. He constantly explores the castle more than he cares about catching students out of bed.

Seokjin took over the role of mediator in the Gryffindor common room, even though it was more of a prefect job while Namjoon takes care of the bigger things such as overseeing the whole house.

Hoseok is a soft prefect. Only giving warnings. Everyone looks to him because he’s the sweetest and lets everyone get away with things.

But at the same time, he’s a wild card. You have to catch him on a really good day for that to happen. If not, he will make an embarrassing example of you before sending you to your dorm so you never do it again.

Yoongi likes to threaten people with his authority, but he never takes action. Even so, no one dares to test him on his limit of tolerance. He personally doesn’t take his own authority or others’ very seriously. He’s been reprimanded a few times but his badge was never revoked.

He loves the prefect’s bathroom. He takes baths twice a day, relaxing alone. Many speculate that it’s the reason he makes sure he stays on the good side of the Head boy and Head girl, enough to not have his badge revoked.

Knowing that Taehyung and Jimin still sneak out every now and then, regardless of not going to the Room of Requirement, Namjoon warns them that if he ever caught them sneaking about, he would not hesitate to take action. This ended up creating a game/challenge between Seokjin, Taehyung, Jimin, and Jungkook and their prefect friends. Not allowed to use the Marauder’s Map.

In the challenge, each of the four non-prefect boys would always find different locations in the castle that he would mark as the checkpoint. The trio has to make their rounds without knowing when or where the boys would go. If he could get there and back to the dormitories without getting caught, their friend will bring him a treat from the kitchen at the end of his rounds.

Seokjin respected his prefect friends, but the challenge to not get caught was too thrilling. His first time, he successfully dodged Namjoon on his way down to the tickling pear for a celebratory dessert but his trail of crumbs was noted by Yoongi. Lucky for him, the rule was if he was ever caught in the act. Since then, he’s been very careful about his evidence. His favorite location was the boathouse.

Jimin saw the challenge as a bonding opportunity. He liked the teamwork the four of them did and had the prefects create their own little trio team. He enjoyed doing that more than being on his own. When they all worked together, one would be a lookout, one would be a decoy, and two would map out the strategy they would take to achieve their goal. Every time they get to the checkpoint, they would leave some sort of sign only their friends could recognize as their mark that they’ve succeeded. His favorite locations were to actually invade each dormitory entrance, kind of being extremely boastful about it when they’ve reached them and didn’t get caught.

Taehyung saw this challenge as a knowledge-seeking opportunity with his friends. His personal favorite location was the prefect’s bathroom. If he could take a bath there without getting caught, they would reward him by teaching him any secrets they learn about the different places all around the castle, since the prefects gets to explore the castle without consequence.

Jungkook saw the challenge as a way to perfect his skills of stealth. Every single time he sneaked out, he used different ways to reach his location. He would fly, charm himself to into stealth mode, travel through portraits, or even transformed into his zebra to trot his way. He will use any way he comes up with. His favorite place was actually outside of the Hogwarts grounds, to the Shrieking Shack.

Unlike his other two mischievous friends, he told them that not only did they have to catch him in the act, they have to actually catch him before he reaches his dormitories. If he doesn’t get caught in the act at all, no one ever knows, he just lets the secret slide, staying smug for reasons unknown to everyone else (Hoseok knows but since he doesn’t bring it up and he wasn’t caught, he lets it slide too). If he gets caught in the act but doesn’t get physically caught, he still takes it hard on himself and looks for ways to improve that specific tactic until it is perfect.

Seokjin, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook decided to figure a way to create a secret passage in Hogwarts. Since secret passages were previously made, they didn’t see why they couldn’t make one.

On the first try, magic rebounded to them and enlarged some part of their face, namely Jungkook’s teeth, Taehyung’s nose, and Jimin’s mouth. 

Luckily, Seokjin deflected the magic away from his face and body.

They freaked out and ran to the Room of Requirement, signaling for their friends to come help them.

Namjoon, Seokjin, Yoongi, and Hoseok helped them return their features back to normal. But not before laughing at them and toppling over one another and yelling at them for being stupid, Seokjin not included in the yelling, but he did laugh.

Namjoon did a little research and figured out that the previous secret passages were made by the founders when the school was actually built, leaving no probability to create new ones.

The three younger ones didn’t give up, a little fired up from their friends.

The three of them went to the portrait room and created eight indistinctive portraits, seven of them which had a random man (turns out were their fathers but main features were slightly altered) with an animal companion: penguin, stag, porcupine, prairie dog, lion, fox, and a zebra.

When the seven animals come together into the eight portrait, then it becomes a secret passage to each main floor. The exit of that passage on each floor was a portrait that corresponded to the one in the portrait room.

Unfortunately, the corresponding portraits was never the same place, they could have ended up on a higher portrait and would fall if not careful. It didn’t matter, because they succeeded.

They told their friends about it, but didn’t tell them about the catch on the other side of the passage as a prank. Luckily the four of them knew how to keep themselves from falling, much to the three’s dismay.

Despite the “harmless” prank, the four of them were pretty proud of their three friends leaving a mark in the school. They taught the younger three how to keep themselves from falling, should they ever walk out of a high portrait.
