Synopsis ~ In order to get popular hot guy Jeon Jungkook to fall in love with her, Areum decides to befriend Jungkook's best friend and confidant, Park Jimin. Only there's a problem. He's the nerdiest guy in the whole school, a recluse, and he may or may not have a giant crush on her.
Warning(s)~ Maybe smut, angst, warnings will be specific to each chapter.
A/N ~ Hey guys this is the Masterlist for my first series Operation Love (name will be changed at some point. Send me ideas?). Just wanted to let you know I have no idea how many parts this story will have. This is my first time posting any of my writing so I’m working out a schedule still. I hope you like the story and please enjoy!
Someone with a jimin profile picture just tried to add me on insta and I thought nothing of it I just thought it was an ARMY. They DM’d me and said hi and I was like hey, and then they said thanks for supporting BTS and I probably should have noticed it then but I was a fucking dumbass and I was like oh I love BTS thanks for being Army… this bitch texted me back saying they were Jimin 😂😂😂😂. I am fucking screaming they were like I hope it’s okay that I text you on my private account 😭😭😭😭.
Do I look like easy prey??? They knew exactly how to get to me I love that Jimin photo.
I'm trying to prove a point to my brain: Reblog if you think fanfiction does not need sex to be good.
There is a trend I’ve noticed that smut fics tend to be much more popular than anything else and honestly I just want to have something to look at to remind myself and that writing doesn’t have to have sex to be worth putting out into the community.
Ch. synopsis ~ to scared to face jimin Areum decides to avoid him, until he shows up at her door.
Warnings ~ none
Post date ~ 04/25/24
It's been a couple days since I told Taehyung and I'm surprised I haven't heard any rumors. Jimin must not have said anything yet, which makes the hollow pit in my stomach worse. I've been avoiding him, which is hard considering he's in half my classes. I'm going to have to find another way to get close to jungkook because I can not spend another embarrassing moment around jimin. The next time I see jimin we are in the lunch hall. Tae and I head to our table passing by jimin, jungkook and all their friends.
"He's staring at you." I glance in Jimin's, direction we make eye contact and I see him try to get up before jungkook pulls him back down. He gives him a pointed look before shaking his head whispering in his ear. Jimins eyes widen before they get into what looks like an argument. Soon their whole table goes silent and they all turn to look at us. Taehyung looks up from his pizza and freezes.
"Why are they all staring at us?"
"I don't know do you think he told them?"
Taehyung shakes his head. "No Jimins not that kind of guy."
"You know nothing about him!"
"But everyone says he's nice!"
We hear a throat clearing and both go silent after realizing we were yelling. Smiling we slowly turn our heads to see jimin and his whole table staring at us.
"Do you think they heard us?" I ask through clenched teeth.
"I think it would be impossible for them not to hear us. We are literally three feet from them." Taehyung nods his head at Jimins table smiling.
We quickly gather our things and run out of the lunch hall leaving jimin and his table behind. When we exit the hall I glance back at Jimins table to see them all staring at him with questioning eyes.
Pulling out my phone I check the time. I have an hour before my next class and I'm exhausted. The hollow pit in my stomach has not alleviated and I think about skipping just so I can avoid looking at jimin again.
"I'm gonna go home and take a nap."
"What about your next class?"
"I might skip. I've got a headache and I just need some time to myself." He carefully looks over me and I can see his face soften. Taehyung and I have lived together since the start of our freshman year so he knows my anxiety indicators better than anyone. He nods his head and wraps his arms around my shoulders pulling me into his chest. Kissing the top of my head he murmurs, "this isn't like high-school alright. Rumors like this don't have any traction here."
Nodding my head I pull away thanking him before making my way back to our shared apartment. Taehyung's sentence pushing me back into a headspace I have not been in years. Thoughts of high school flood my mind and a take a deep breath trying to relax as I make my way through the lobby and into the elevator. Unlocking the door I hurriedly step inside, heaving a great breath I make my way to the kitchen. Pulling out my blender I grab some yeast and bread flour. Might as well take out my anxiety on some pastry dough, mixing the ingredients together I slowly start to drown out the rest of the world.
Two hours later I'm so consumed with kneading the pastry dough that I almost miss the kick at the door. I look at the door as if I have X-ray vision and could possibly see who is behind it. Slowly I walk to the door whipping my flour dusted hands on a washcloth. I look at myself in the mirror by the entry way. It was useless to clean my hands because I am covered in flower, I swipe my hands over my cheeks trying to remove the white powder before brushing my hair behind my ears.
Opening the door my eyes widen and I take a step back debating on slamming the door in his face. Jimin puts his hands up and as if anticipating my thoughts he says, "please don't close the door. I just want to talk."
I squint my eyes at him debating but the decision is made for me when Taehyungs dog comes running up to the door to sniff him out, forcing me to open the door wider. Slowly jimin takes in the dog at my feet and the state of my clothes.
"Uh oh, he said it was bad if you were baking." Jimins eyebrows pinch in what could be concern before asking if he can come in.
"What?"
"Taehyung." He answers.
"Can you knead some dough while you talk?" You raise your eyebrow at him.
"Um sure" he shrugs and you notice the backpack hanging from his shoulders he must have come strait from school.
"Then come on in." Stepping aside I hold the door open for him. letting him pass he takes his shoes off and carefully arranges them next to mine.
"You can set your bag by the couch." Walking past him into the kitchen you point to the couch before pulling out a sauce pan to make the filling for the tarts. Jimin follows behind me, going to the sink he washes his hands before silently starting to knead the dough. We both work in silence for a few minutes before jimin clears his throat.
"Taehyung told me about the pregnancy test."
I stop stirring the filing as I turn to him waiting for him to explain. "After lunch he caught up to me and explained how the test wasn't yours. I just want you to know I never would have sad anything. It was none of my business anyway."
Jimin works as he talks and I watch as the muscles in his arms work to knead the dough. He's strong and I only just realized how toned his body is dancing definitely keeps him in shape.
"Thank you." Jimin stops kneading to look at me I slowly turn back to my filling so I don't have to look at him as I say. "Most people would not be so kind."
Jimin smiles slightly tilting his head, "I mean your an adult dose it really matter if you buy a pregnancy test on not?" I tense and I have to remind myself that jimin has no idea of my past, of who I was before I came to University. Laughing I shrug my shoulders trying to play it off.
"I guess not." We both get back to work finishing our tasks in relative silence. I watch as jimin expertly starts to roll out the dough, slicing it into thin squares to prepare for the filling. Soon we are popping the pastry squares in the oven and we both head to living room to wait while they bake.
Settling into place I tuck my feet under me, turning to face jimin I put my arm across the back of the couch, "Where did you learn to bake?"
Jimin smiles slightly, leaning into the couch, "my mother owns a bakery I've grown up helping her in the kitchen with all kinds of recipe's. What about you?"
Glancing down at my hands I bite my lip in thought wondering how much I should tell him." I didn't get out of the house much my junior year of high school and I needed something to occupy my time. My mother had just bought a huge bag of bread flour for this one recipe that she never even used and I decided to try it out. Helped me get my mind off things, still does." Not wanting to delve further into the story I quickly change the subject. Soon we are talking about all kinds of things, both of us swapping story's of when we were young and jimin talks a lot about his mothers bakery promising to bring you something back the next time he visits. The conversation switches to school and we talk about all the classes we hate, I mention calculus and he again suggests to tutor me. I accept his offer and soon enough I am sending him away with a Tupperware full of pastry squares.
He holds up the cheap Tupperware, "I promise to wash this and return it to you tomorrow."
"Don't worry about it." Waving I lean against the door jam, "see you tomorrow!"
Walking backwards he smiles before turning around and heading to the elevator he sees Taehyung on his way in and nods his hello as he walks out Taehyung waits for the elevator doors to close before he's grabbing my arm pulling me inside and insisting I tell him everything.
AN: again this has not been edited I'm kind of just getting everything out and then I will edit later cause I know if I don't post now I'm gonna hate it and never post lmao. If anyone is reading this story I hope you enjoy and have a good day, afternoon or night!
I don't think fic writers know how much they matter
Do you know how many times you distracted me when I was hurt or lonely? Do you know how many times a line or a scene from fanfic marked me so much that I remembered years later, even though I can’t recall my own phone number?
Even if the fic isn’t perfect or popular or multi-chaptered… Sometimes there’s just one sentence that changed me.
Genre(s) ~ fluff, humor, angst, possible smut haven’t decided.
Au ~ collage au, stf, ftl.
Pairing(s) ~ Nerdjimin x popularoc.
Word Count ~ 1.3k
Ch. Synopsis ~ Areum try’s to befriend Jimin in hopes of getting closer to Jungkook only to embarrass herself in the process.
Warning(s) ~ Not much honestly mentions of pregnancy/ a pregnancy test. Nerd jimin try’s to be cool (yes that’s a warning).

“Tell me what happened.”
"The most embarrassing thing in my life happened!" Sitting up on the bed, I face Taehyung and pull my legs up to my chest. I rest my face between my knees and pout at him. "Tae I can not describe to you how bad it was."
Tae scoffs at me from the end of the bed, raising his eyebrow, he asks. "Well how did it even happen? Tell me from the beginning."
"Well it all started when I tried phase one of Operation Love," Tae's face drops as he gapes at me; his face suddenly turns down in a frown, "You started without me?"
"Shut up, I'm explaining! So I walked into class.." Thinking back on everything that happened earlier today, I relayed the information to Taehyung.
"Hey, Jimin what's up?" Sitting down next to Jimin, I gave him the widest, cheesiest smile possible before taking my supplies out for class.
Jimin slowly tears his eyes away from his meticulous notes, looking at you behind his round wire glasses. Jimin sits up a little straighter, glancing around the classroom before he turns slightly to give me his full attention. Resting his elbow on the table, Jimin brings his hand up to play with the strands of his hair. He thinks better of it and just rests his face on his hand. "Did you uh.. need something?"
Jimin tilts his head back slightly and raises his eyebrows. I know he's trying to look cool, but it's making him look rather uncomfortable. I look around the classroom to see if anyone else is noticing this, but everyone is too engrossed in their own lives to wonder why Park Jimin looks like he's about to burst at the seams. Looking back at him, my smile dims slightly before I plaster it back into place.
"Uh just saying hi." Jimin turns back to his notes, grabbing his pen he fiddles with it while nodding his head.
"That's cool." Still nodding his head, Jimin leans back in his chair. I glance around the room again seriously is no one seeing this!
"Well uh hi, I'm Jimin." I furrow my eyebrows and tilt my head, trying to hold back my laugh.
"I know."
Jimin freezes, glancing around the room. He nods his head shyly before turning back to his notes, "right."
I giggle, tugging my hair behind my ear. I can't help but wonder how Jimin became Jungkook's best friend. He's just so... weird, but he's the best shot I have at getting close to him, so I will have to deal with it.
"You probably have no idea who I am huh?"
"I know who you are! You're Lee Areum. You're majoring in biology and you're here on a cheer scholarship," he smiles, bouncing excitedly in his chair, blushing ",we had a couple classes together last semester."
I furrow my brows, "Really?"
"Yeah, like all of them except one." I flush in embarrassment. How did I not notice him? From what I've learned about Jimin so far, he's always been pretty quiet and keeps to himself. Unless, of course, he's around Jungkook.
According to Jungkook's friends on the football team, Jungkook moved in across the street from Jimin in the 5th grade and they've been friends ever since. Many of the boys on the team also seem to think Jimin has a crush on Jungkook.
However, I talked to a couple girls on Jimin's dance team and they said Jimin's been crushing on a girl from the cheer team.
So far all I've heard about Jimin has been rumors and speculation. All I truly know about him is his friendship with Jungkook. I don't know how he can be in the circle yet so out of the loop.
"So your majoring in biology too than, right?"
"Yeah I'm here on a dance scholarship." I nod my head, pretending like I don't already know about Jimin being on the dance team.
Jimin has been single-handedly leading our dance team to victory since he got here. A lot of people don't pay attention to the dance team, but those who do are obsessed with him. It surprises me that he doesn't already have a girlfriend considering he dances with women all day and he's relatively cute. Weird guys have girlfriends too, right? I mean, just look at Taehyung.
Taehyung and his girlfriend have been going strong since their senior year of high school, despite his slightly weird characteristics. They are doing so good, in fact that Taehyung made me pick him up a pregnancy test at the pharmacy this morning.
The test is now safely tucked inside my school bag, and if that's not the most embarrassing thing I've done in my life, I don't know what is.
Soon class starts and we turn our attention to our calculus professor. The professor starts by explaining limits, derivatives, and integrals. As he explains, I follow along trying to take notes.
Soon I'm falling behind, unable to follow along with today's lesson. My notes are jumbled and I try my best to write down all the practice questions so I can go back and study them later.
" um that answer is wrong." I look at Jimin with wide eyes, confused.
"The slopes are different at every point along the curve. That means that the derivative usually has a variable." Jimin drags his finger along the page, pointing out my mistake.
"For example the derivative of f(x)= x2 is 2x therefore to find the derivative at a certain point such as x=3 you have to determine the value of the derivative 2x when x=3. The answer is 2x= (2) (3) =6."
I quickly wrote down Jimin's correction before asking if he could explain again. Jimin goes through the problem explaining it to me as I ask questions.
"You know if you need a study buddy or anything I'm free! This is my second time taking this class so I'm a little bit ahead of everyone."
"You already took this class?" Jimin explains as we pack up our notes as the class just ended.
"Just the beginning of it, I had to swap out half way through the semester cause of some issues." I remembered hearing a rumor last semester about a guy dropping his calc class because some dude kept bothering him. I wonder if that was Jimin?
If so, I would feel horrible because everyone made fun of them for weeks because they dropped the class instead of standing up for themself.
"I would love the help. For some reason I'm really struggling with the concepts." This was my chance to get closer to him! If he became my tutor, not only would I get closer to Jungkook, but I could also use him to pass calc.
"Here let me give you my number real quick!" Rifling through my bag, I struggle to get my notebook out of its confines. My notebook snags on the sipper and my bag, along with its contents, falls to the floor.
Apologizing, I crouch down to pick up all my things Jimin following suit.
I finally stuff everything into the bag when Jimin hands me a pink pox. Freezing, I followed the curve of Jimin's wrist up to his face.
"That's not mine."
"It fell out of your bag." He insists, lifting the box in my direction, trying to persuade me to grab it.
"I know, but it's not mine!" He nods his head slightly his eyes wide like he's trying to console a child, scared to speak in case I spontaneously burst into tears.
Grabbing the test, I quickly shove it into my bag before rushing out of class. Jimin's calls to wait, not reaching my ears over the sound of my own heartbeat.
New, most embarrassing moment in my life unlocked!
