Pairing: Kim Taehyung x Reader
Request: “Hello! Can you do a Taehyung scenario in which y/n is a total badass and catch a thief who wanted to steal his Gucci watch before he even realizes that he’s being robbed and before a thief could run away? Make him fall in love with this girl but she would refuse everything because she thinks he can’t handle someone with such bad memories as her. Angsty with fluffy ending 💜💜💜”
A/N: Omg this turned out to be so long??? I thought it would be like 2.5k at most but as I kept writing I realised there was no way I was fitting the whole plot in that “small” amount of words. It’s just, this story needed a good development, ya feel? Okay, bye. And enjoy, hopefully.
“Oh my God, Y/N, it’s BTS” Haeun whisper-shouted, your gaze instantly going where she was looking at and tilting your head as you checked out the two guys she pointed out walking down the street. “I mean, it’s not all of them but holy shit, I need a picture with them” she didn’t hesitate to grab your hand, crossing the street as she practically ran towards where they were, dragging you with her.
She suddenly slowed down a few meters away as a guy approached them first and initiated a conversation with them out of nowhere, mumbling to herself something about having to wait until that man went away. So you just stood there, both of you resting your backs on the wall to one of the buildings – you hugging yourself since the night had turned out to be a little bit colder than you had expected and your thin sweater wasn’t doing much for you.
You sighed as you looked to the guys from the group your best friend would not shut up about and wondered how could they be so famous and yet look so normal – although one of them did seem rich; his classy clothes and the watch wrapped around his wrist which looked expensive as hell giving away his social status. His friend, on the other hand, was simply in a black Puma sportswear.
Your eyes travelled from the two idols to the man in front of them – your heart skipping a beat the second you realised you had most definitely seen that face before. “Shit, Haeun, he’s the guy from last week” you took a step further.
Her alarmed face snapped towards you. “What guy?” she inquired, deep down knowing the answer but not really wanting to believe it. She knew what was coming.
“The one who stole my phone” your reply was straight to the point, not taking your eyes away from him. “Stay here”.
“Y/N, no” she pleaded grabbing your hand; feeling the anxiety build up in her whole body, scared of any of you getting hurt if you got any closer. “Let’s go home, call the police, anything”.
But it was as if her words were not even heard by you. She just stood there, watching you go towards that guy. What else could she do? It wasn’t the first time something like this happened and she knew better than to get in your way.
As you got closer to the three of them, it looked like they were having a really nice chat, all of them were smiling and from an outsider’s view the guy would look friendly and even inoffensive, but you knew better. Seeing the guy gaze down to the watch you had also noticed moments ago, your hands turned into a fist. It had been the same for you: he had asked you for directions, nice little chat, and then boom, your phone had been taken away from you before you could even react; being too taken aback to do anything.
There was no way in hell you were letting him get away with yet another rob.
“Okay, buddy, I think you need to keep walking” you barged in with a blank expression. As you positioned yourself in front of the two boys, you could feel their confused stares on you.
The delinquent, though, scoffed – his friendly façade immediately being dropped. “And who are you?”
“The girl you stole her phone from last week” the cynical smile you gave him was enough for his expression to harden. A small gasp was heard from behind you. “Now go” you took a step forward.
He glared down at you, taking a step closer as well to frighten you, but you were not moving. “Look, bitch, why don’t you mind your own–“
“Hey, don’t call her that!” you heard a deep voice being raised.
That made the man’s stare move from you to the voice’s owner. “You better go handing me that watch, kid” he threatened, no longer minding you as he began walking to the idols.
Only you didn’t let him get anywhere near them.
Moving to the side so you could block his path, you hit his nose with your lower palm, his hand instantly covering it and a loud groan leaving his mouth. He did not give up, though, going back at you with the intention of punching you back – but you were faster. Your knee went up, hitting his balls with all your strength. As he went to the ground groaning in pain, you turned around to face the two very shocked guys.
“This is when we run” you informed them, starting to walk backwards to make sure they followed. When it seemed like they finally came out of their trance, they did as you told them. “Haeun!” you called your friend, who was hiding behind one of the street lights.
The four of you ran a few blocks away from there, stopping only when you felt safe enough to do so.
“Holy shit” the one in the sportswear let out, placing his hands on his thighs as he tried to catch his breath. “That was awesome!”
“Yeah!” said the one with the watch, allowing you to see a very pretty boxy smile. “Thank you so much” his words earned a smile from you, shrugging to let him know it was no big deal.
“You’re so badass!” his friend spoke again, not quite over it yet. It was Haeun’s turn to smile, finding his reaction kind of adorable.
“You get used to if after seeing her do that a few times” the girl beside you amusedly informed them before focusing her eyes on you. “But I still get worried you will get hurt, you idiot! Stop putting yourself in danger!” she slapped your arm, making you feign an offended expression.
“It’s done, no need to worry” you stated the obvious, at which she rolled her eyes – yours went back to the boys in front of you. “Be more careful when you speak to strangers, not everyone is as nice as they seem” they nodded at your motherlike advice. “Shall we go?” you spoke now to your friend, turning around so you could finally head home.
“Wait!” the one with the deep voice stopped you, not being able to hide the sudden shyness he got the moment you locked eyes with him once again. “Um… I’m Taehyung, this is Jungkook” he pointed to his friend, who shyly nodded.
“I know!” Haeun jumped up in excitement, the three of you looking at her with an amused smile. “This is Y/N, I’m Haeun” she was the one to introduce both of you.
“Y/N” Taehyung repeated your name, gazing at you with a smile. “Is there a way I can repay you?”
You were taken aback by his words; that thought not once having crossed your mind. “No, it’s okay”.
“But, I mean, you did risk your life for us” Jungkook spoke his mind; his friend effusively nodding by his side. “Well, for Tae, more like. It was his beloved Gucci watch the guy wanted to steal anyway” he added in a mocking way, still not understanding his hyung’s obsession with that brand.
“Exactly” Tae agreed. “Let me take you out to dinner, or for coffee, whatever you like”.
You stood still, trying to process what was happening. Was he asking you out?
The mere “are you kidding me?” look Haeun gave you after you remained quiet for longer than it was considered normal made you snap out of it.
“It’s okay, really. It was also kind of personal; take it as my revenge towards that guy”.
You looked at Haeun and tilted your head, implicitly telling her the two of you should go home.
“Can I at least get your number in case you change your mind then?” Tae stopped you once more.
You tried to hold your laugh back at the little squeal that left your friend’s mouth – one of the idols she loved so much was desperate to keep in touch with her best friend, how could she not freak out?!
“I don’t have a phone” you reminded him, which made his hopes of ever getting to know you instantly dissipate. “See you around, I guess” you pressed your lips together, forming a small smile before you turned around to walk away for once and for all.
It was after you had already taken a fair amount of steps away from there that you noticed Haeun had not followed you. Looking around for her, you saw her from afar, still talking to the boys – the phone in her hand telling you she had asked them for pictures. A sigh left your mouth as you crossed your arms; with the adrenaline of the moment you had completely forgotten it had all started because she wanted to meet them.
After that eventful night, you carried on with your life like it didn’t even happen. Of course, you did not forget about it because your best friend would not shut up about those two guys for the love of God. You swore she was so whipped for them. You had to give it to her though, they were indeed pretty handsome – especially the Gucci guy. His nicely shaped dark eyes and his bright boxy smile remained stuck in the back of your mind, and a part of you regretted not having given him at least one of your social accounts’ username so the two of you could’ve kept in touch. The reasonable part of you, however, told you it had been for the best; a guy like him wouldn’t be able to put up with a girl like you.
It was a week later, when you got home and saw a package placed in front of your door along with a note that signed “Kim Taehyung”, that you knew the boy wouldn’t give up on you that easily. Picking the box up and entering your house, you rushed to get your scissors so you could open it. And when you finally did, you almost dropped it out of surprise.
