pairings: kim taehyung and bestfriend!reader (platonic)
request: can you do a platonic friendship kim taehyung drabble where he and his best friend have a paint night?
genre: platonic!! drabble!! and i had a tricky time coming up with the title because i wanted it to be a spin on the name of a classic painting so here you go anon! :D
word count: 1.1k
taehyung had woken you up super early
like i’m talking 6:00 am early
“tae. it is SIX AM NO WAY AM I GOING OUT”
...
...
and now you’re at the paint store
you didnt even know there was a paint store near your apartment??
and somehow tae knew there was a sale today
its like he has a radar for this sort of thing
you snap out of your thoughts and look back at the endless shelves of canvasses
canvases....canvai??
“uhh, tae? what do we need all this for?” you’re not sure if your wallet can handle this
“c’mon y/n, it’s just a little paint! besides you know i like to have up to date supplies for my art~”
so he says but
twenty canvasses?
twenty??
“listen i love that you’re passionate about this sort of thing...but this is too much.” you reach into the cart and grab a random paint bottle
“i mean come on, ashy pink? who needs ashy pink when you’ve got...uh....sunset rose??”
he turns around and grabs the bottles from you
“i will have you know that ashy pink and sunset rose are two very different colors!”
you honestly couldn’t care less i mean as long as you have one shade of pink it cant be all that bad?
but are you still gonna sit there and complain until tae is done spending all his money on art supplies
yes because youre a good bestfriend
suCK IT UP Y/N
but the paint stuff is going to be sitting around the apartment for days
months
eighteen years
it’s just gonna be an eyesore
unless??
you draw your eyes to a poster on the wall
it reads paint night, this monday
but over it in red text is a notice saying that the event was cancelled, because of the pandemic
hmm
paint night
and if you make it last long enough
then all the paint can be gone in one go
“taehyungggg” you’re actually smiling now that you’ve got a way to win in this situation
“what if we had a paint night?” you ask
he stares at you for a few seconds
“you know..like a night....where we just paint....and nothing else?”
he continues to stare
“hey are you oka- !”
he had started rapidly shoving more bottles of paint into your cart
the cart! is getting manhandled by taehyung?
mr. cart did nothing wrong free him
“y/n that is the most amazing idea you have had all day let’s do it RIGHT NOW”
“taehyung its not even night yet-” “i dont care i want to PAINT NOW”
suddenly he’s speeding towards the checkout
jesus mr. cart must be having the worst day of his life
“taehyung- taehyung- slow down!” you run after him
“y/n paint night waits for no one. not even you” he whispers to you as you both stop at the checkout line
“paint night wouldn’t even be happening without me so watch your mouth young man” you reach into your bag to grab some hand sanitizer because...you can never be too careful!
taehyung is moving the bottles of paint towards the register when he suddenly turns around and smiles
“hey y/n-” “no. no we only came here because there was a sale and i am NOT going to pay for you!”
you ended up paying anyway and now theres a crap ton of paint supplies in the back of your car
“i hope you know that means the next sushi run is on you”
taehyung reclines back on the car seat, so RELAXED and at ease
“yeah yeah whatever you say”
you had to make him wait till the sun went down
otherwise he would’ve gone through all the supplies
and while thats what you wanted you wanted to paint too >:(
i mean you paid for the stuff you should at least get to use it
to hold him off you just put on harry potter
it distracted him for about an hour before he got up and turned the tv off
“heY we were getting to the good part! i wanna know what happens to cedric!”
taehyung then spoiled the movie for you
“tae how coULD you” “i mean its pretty obvious that he-” “sHUT UP LET ME MOURN”
then the sun went down and you FINALLY let tae take the paint stuff out
“so uh..do i just grab a canvas and start painting whatever i want?”
luckily tae was able to help you put your canvas on an easel and said “okay now paint whatever you want i am going to be over here in the zone™”
pinterest is always helpful so after 30 minutes of scrolling looking for something to paint you look up to see what tae’s doing
and this man has painted a whole ass sakura tree
how?? when?? he’s not even using a reference??
i mean....go off bestfriend i guess
so anyway you decided to paint your cat
because she was just sleeping and is there no better time to admire your cat then painting night?
well first off painting is kinda hard
you have to pick the right colors for every piece of your art
and you have to make it look good
like it doesnt matter if it looks realistic
and you know that making it good isnt important
but you consider yourself somewhat good at drawing so this shouldnt be too hard
...
...
wrong
who knew your cat could be so rebellious
she has like 7 different shades of orange in her fur
and out of all the paints you had the right shade for her nose was not there
who knew ashy pink would come back to bite you
tae, somehow is almost done with his painting
“hey y/n could you pass me the sky blue”
you get up to reach for it when suddenly your cat decides to wAKE UP
and coincidentally knock over the paint can.
you are now covered in paint
and behind you is the sound of laughing
you turn around slowly
to see your traitorous BEST FRIEND LAUGHING AT YOU????
well this is just terrible
so in response, you grab aSHy piNK and dump it on his head
(luckily he was done with his painting so it was somewhere else to dry)
no paintings were destroyed in the process of paint night
after about ten minutes of paint throwing and laughing
and accidentally getting some green on his phone but shhh shh he doesnt need to know
you both finally fall to the floor in exhaustion
“remind me to never let you touch paint again”
“no next time just donT buy all this stuff”
“my passion needs adequate supplies you dont get to-”
there you go again

so ive been gone for a really long time and in all honesty i am SO sorry for that. i still like kpop and stuff, but with school and work i have been super busy. i think i am going to revamp this blog into writing about other things, so if you decide that those other things aren’t interesting to you, you can feel free to unfollow or stop checking on the blog that is completely understandable. as for my unfinished aus they are going to remain unfinished, and my masterlist is going to be unpinned in my bio. im going to make a new masterlist and a new theme. maybe a username change, maybe not. i don’t know exactly what i’m going to write about but it may be multiple things. like before i specifically wrote bts x reader, now i might write bts, genshin impact, my hero academia, stuff like that. so if you’re interested in that then stick around :]
ok so i kNOW i went on like the longest hiatus ever - but ive been really busy so im going to try to start working on that b.a.m.m chapter asap!! so get ready !!

a/n: so this is a small lil drabble I decided to put out in honor of 100 followers! wooT! but yes y/n is going to be thirsting over jimin in this one lol, but enjoy :D
You were really never a party type of person. Why party when you can stay at home reading a nice book? That was your go-to pastime anyways. You wouldn’t call yourself a shut-in, but you weren’t outside a lot, no.
Your best friend, Jin? He was the complete opposite, to say the least. For one, he was extremely good-looking. So he got invited to a lot of parties. And yeah, sometimes he made you go with him. But the moment you seemed uncomfortable, he took you home. You were honestly really grateful to have a friend like him who understood you.
This time was a bit different. Jin had begged you to go with him, because he was graduating this year, and he wanted to have one last turn as the so called “life of the party.” You went, even though you didn’t want to. Jin shouldn’t have to suffer because of your natural awkwardness.
So here you were, surrounded by wasted college students, and you were probably the only sober one. Jin had run off a while ago, most likely to do karaoke with Jungkook and Hoseok. Not to mention it was a really big party.
As in you were in someone’s mansion. This party was big. Heck, even Namjoon and Yoongi were here. Not that they didn’t get invited to things, no. They were certainly handsome. They were just a little introverted, kind of like you.
But seeing all your drunk classmates, having the time of their lives, made you wonder. Like previously stated, you weren’t exactly the best at the whole partying thing. But you had come all the way here, and Jin had told you to live a little more.
In fact, he was almost worried about you, because you had no other close friends besides him and the guys. Jin, Hoseok, Yoongi and Namjoon were all graduating. And Jungkook and Taehyung? You weren’t as close with them as you were with Jin. Not that you weren’t close, but that wasn’t Jin’s point, either.
He just didn’t want you to be alone. He even went as far as suggesting you get a boyfriend. And that’s just something you’ve never really done, to be honest. You’ve always had crushes on characters in books, and you were kind of...intimidated...by boys other than Jin.
But here you were. Alone at a party. And not drunk. After a couple hours of wandering, you guessed that this was Tae’s mansion. He was kind of rich. Well, not kind of. He was loaded, to put it plainly. Anyway, you decided you would give it the old college try, (while laughing to yourself about your own joke) and go to the bar and get a drink.
Yes. Taehyung’s mansion had its own bar. Jin had shown it to you before he went off...where, again? You don’t really know where he went, but you suppose you should probably look for him, as you two are going home in his car. Right now, however, you’re walking to Tae’s in-house bar.
You pull out your phone and quickly google ‘Drinks to order at a party’. Okay, maybe your knowledge in the variety of drinks usually available at parties is small, but how were you supposed to know what to drink? You’ve been to like three parties over the course of 2 years, and they were all serving punch.
You can vaguely see the barista mixing some drinks on the counter. You weren’t really paying attention, just sitting down looking at your phone. “Hmmm...” you said to yourself. Maybe just something simple, like a martini?
This would’ve been easier if Jin was here. He’d just give you a suggestion, and because you couldn’t think of any other option, you’d just go with it. You tried to think back to that one day Taehyung had been talking about bars.
You didn’t really pay attention, but you think he said something about his friend being a barista? Makes sense that he’d hire him for a party. Anyway, you look back down at your phone.
Maybe you should text Jin. Just to ask, what you should order. But then you look over your shoulder at the dance floor behind you. He’s dancing over by the indoor pool. You don’t want to bother him at what might be his last party as a student here.
Suck it up, Y/N. You take a deep breath. Honestly, you don’t know why you’re making such a big deal about ordering a drink. Just pick something and go with it. But it wouldn’t hurt to look at Google some more...
So it’s now an hour later, and you still haven’t ordered anything. Curse your social anxiety! You see the boys (as in Jin, Jungkook, and Hoseok) passed out on a couch. It is getting late...maybe you should just go home. You already know you’ll be the one driving.
But it wouldn’t hurt to have one drink, right? All your procrastination has made you quite thirsty, which is a bit ironic. There isn’t really anybody at the bar now. The barista is at the back, cleaning some cups. You look down at your phone one more time. Just one more quick look-
“Can I help you with anything, darling?” Your head snaps up, and the barista is in front of you. And dear god. You almost drop your phone. This boy in front of you...is absolutely gorgeous.
His skin was perfect, and it looked so soft. His hair was tousled perfectly, and his dark eyes stared into your soul. Haha, what? He smiled at you, and you almost died, because he was just sO pREttY!
“Oh, um, I was, uh...still thinking about my order?” You wince internally. Not the best sentence starter. But it’s not your fault! It’s just that you are trying to impress this hot barista so he will possibly, just maybe, bear your children??
Oh my god, Y/N do not phrase it like that! “You’ve been thinking for an awful long time now. One would think...you’re doing something else?” For god’s sake, even his voice is attractive. It’s sweet, and kind of high pitched, yet not?? Like it’s pretty, but also seductive with a capital S, and you’re really losing your mind over how beautiful this boy is.
“No, I wasn’t really...I just can’t think of what to order.” He’s going to think you’re lame. I mean, if he’s a barista, then the topics of drinks would be like, important to him, right? Right. Just keep talking to yourself and everything will be okay and-! Your own thoughts cut off as he leaned over the counter. He leaned towards you and you almost screamed your head off.
And then he turned to your phone, which was displaying a picture of different drinks. “If you’re googling what to order, I’m guessing you don’t drink a lot?” You smile, but inside you just want the world to swallow you whole.
“Haha, you could say that? I mean I go to parties, it’s just they don’t usually have...” “A fully stocked bar? Yeah. Taehyung likes to go all out for his parties.”
Okay, this is good, this is casual conversation, come on Y/N, don’t mess this up. He leans back and crosses his arms, and sweet Jesus, he has muscles.
You’re sure everyone can hear your heartbeat going a million miles an hour, and you’re surprised no one has been able to tell you’re practically drooling over this man.
“Anyway,” he goes on, “I’m Park Jimin. I work as a bartender part-time, and I’m a third-year here.” Hey! You’re a third year too! And you’re really hyperventilating in your own head right now! “Oh, well I’m Y/N Y/L/N, also third-year, and....I like to read.”
“A reader, huh? That’s cool. So, what did you want to drink, Miss Y/N?” He flexes his fingers. And somehow you find that hot too. “Uh...I’ll just take a margarita.” He grins. “Alright. Anything specific?” Your blank face must be obvious, because he laughs. “Then one normal margarita coming right up.”
He walks to the other side of the bar and begins to make your drink. So now you have a few minutes to scream. And that’s when Jin pops right up next to you and decides to say, “HeY! Y/N!”
You yelp out of surprise. “Jin! Uh....I thought you were out cold??” He grins, except it’s a drunken grin. Because he’s extremely drunk right now. “oH! I was! But nOW I’m nOT!”
“Yeah, maybe you should go lay down for a few more minutes. I’m just going to have a drink and then we’ll leave, okay?” He frowns. “You?? Getting a dRinK?” You scowl. “Hey, I’m not that much of an introvert!” His eyes scan the room. “No...there’s got to be an uLteriOR motiVE here..ah!” Jin smiles again. “You like JiminNN!”
“What?! nO!” It seems he knows you better than you thought. “...maybe...” He laughs. “I knew it! You never do anything impulsive unless there’s a boy involved!” Ouch. But he’s right. You don’t really know why Jimin is any different from all the boys you already hang out with.
You’re talking with Jin about Jimin. And you’re so enthusiastic, that you don’t notice Jimin is taking...a while with your margarita.
Jimin really thought he was just going to be a bartender for another one of Taehyung’s parties. Pretty normal, and Tae pays him quite a bit. A pretty decent amount, so that’s what he does. He serves some drinks, cleans some counters, and that’s about it.
But this time, a girl he’d never seen before sat down. You. And all while he was serving drinks that night, he kept staring at you. You were...how to put it...well, pretty cute, in his opinion.
He tried to calm himself down. A girl who looked like that probably had a boyfriend or girlfriend. But he couldn’t keep himself from staring. You were just sitting there on your phone. He eventually told himself to stop acting like a creep and went back to serving drinks.
And another hour passed. He was cleaning up when he noticed you were still sitting there, on your phone. Hey! She’s still here! He thought you looked pretty with your hair all fancy and your aqua mini dress. He had seen you around campus a couple times, but he never really looked at you until tonight.
And he usually wasn’t one to fall victim to a pretty face, but just talking to you made him feel like you were more than that. You liked reading. You were kind of awkward. And that was all he knew about you.
But he had a huge crush on you. Why? Well hE didn’t kNOw! And that was the weird part! He wasn’t oblivious to these kinds of things. That was one huge difference between you two. If some magical being descended from the sky and told you that you had a crush on Park Jimin, you would suddenly have selective hearing.
So eventually, he manages to make you what he’s sure is the best margarita in the world. (Only the best for Miss Y/N!) And he manages to carry it to you without it slipping out of his hands. And he notices someone sitting next to you.
You’re talking excitedly, and you giggle at something the guy says. Jimin places your drink in front of you and you almost don’t notice. Who is this guy? And why is he so close to you?
Oh, crap, is this your boyfriend? Has he gotten hung up on a taken girl? “Jin! Stop it!” he hears you say with a laugh. The guy, Jin, is obviously drunk. “Honestly, I have no idea why I’m friends with you when you will boldy iNSULT my outfit!”
They’re friends. He sighs in relief, although he doesn’t know why. He walks over to where you’re sitting and leans on the counter again. “How’s that margarita?” he asks.
Your face is practically a tomato when Jimin comes back over to ask you how your drink is. “Oh, it’s um...good! It’s really good, actually!” You should have drinks more often, if all the baristas are this hot. Wait, whAt?
Alright, so remember how you said just one more drink and you would leave? Well, that did certainly nOT happen. You are on your eiGHTh margarita. And you are showing no signs of slowing down.
Even Jin is sober now, and he’s worried/terrified. He’s never known you to be a drinking person. sO wHAT the hell actually hAPPENED heRE? You are extremely drunk right now. And you’re practically slumped over your chair, fLiRtiNG wiTH JiMiN!!
Well, you wouldn’t call it flirting. More like you telling him in a drunken voice that he’s very pretty. “okAY duDE, liKE, you are sERIOUSLY the hoTTEST guY i’VE ever SeeN.”
Jimin is trying not to explode. Because here you are, outwardly calling him hot. Not to mention because of your drunken state, your hair is a bit disheveled. Which he thinks is kind of hot. Which is nOT HeLPING!
Plus, Jin now has a master plan. To get you and Jimin together over the course of one party. >:))
He fakes a yawn as he walks over to Jimin. “Hey, man, I have a huge essay I’ve gotta finish.” And Jimin is like....oKay? “Anyways, thanks for agreeing to take Y/N home.” He tosses Jimin the keys to your apartment and he catches them.
WAIT WAIT WAIT- and Jin is gone. He- HE JUST- and then Jimin starts to panic. What will she think if she wakes up in my car? She’ll think I’m some sort of pervert, or a kidnapper!
At this point you fall asleep on your chair. And you are snoring. So you’re overall making a great impression! You yawn and let out a sleepy whimper as you shuffle in your chair.
You really should’ve brought a pillow or something, because sleeping in a counter is pretty uncomfortable. Jimin thinks you’re incredibly cute, but he kind of has to wake you up to take you home.
“Y/N...” you roll over. “Five more minutes, Jin..” “Y/N...” Wait. That’s not Jin. You immediately face the source of the voice and find Jimin the hot barista looking into your eyes.
“Ah! Uh...JiMin!! What a nice surprise!!” You are glad to see him...you just don’t know how you got into his car. Or how he has the keys to your apartment.
“Oh, yeah, Jin forced me to take you home, so here’s your keys.” He plops your keys back in your hand. Your hands almost touch, which makes you blush a bit.
The truth is he had to carry you to his car. And he thinks you’re really pretty. And he kind of wants to ask you for your number.
“Uh...Y/N?” You look back at him. “Yes, Jimin?” It’s now or never. He either gets your number or dies of embarrassment. “Do you think I could have your number?”
Not gonna lie, you were kinda surprised by his question. You’re totally going to give him your number though. He’s really hot. You fumble for your phone in your pocket and awkwardly read out your number for him.
“So, um...I guess I’ll see you around campus?” You smile and tuck a piece of hair behind your ear. A cliche tactic, but you’re trying your best here, okay?
“Yeah! I’ll see you around campus!” You practically giggle into your pillow that night.
You are, to stay the least, extremely happy.
