Warnings: Swearing, mentions of death by sickness,
Hey guys!! This probably confusing to you since the masterlist links to SVTMatokis tumblr for most of the stories. I’ve decided after a long period to move the blog so if you’re currently following SVTMatokis, please follow this one ^_^
SVT Matokis is a huge mess right now, I was looking through the blog and things are just everywhere because of my disorganization from going back and forth with the stories and even I was getting a headache working on it and I lost ALL inspiration for the WIP stories I had on it.
SVTMatokis was a big part of my writing career and it’s been with me longer than most writing blogs. As i continued to write, I got a better sense of what I wanted and how I wanted things to be which is why this blog will be a FRESH start. I won’t be posting multi-chapter fics until they’re complete and I’ll be editing things a lot better than I was before.
SVTMatokis will continue to exist but note that NEW CHAPTERS FOR ALL EXISTING FICS ON THE BLOG WILL BE POSTED HERE and once the story is eventually complete (if I complete them), I will delete them off SVTmatokis and move the whole fic to this blog.
I hope you can support Kuratokis the same way you did SVTmatokis and if you do have any questions, please drop into my asks :)

“Where are we going?” you asked looking out at the nice houses that lined the seaside.
Jihoon had disappeared early that morning to attend to some business with his father before returning with coffee and breakfast from your favorite cafe. He then told you to get ready and to put on something nice since he had a whole day planned but first, he had some business to settle on behalf of his father which was where you were currently headed.
“I just have to meet with one of my fathers business associates at his house for a while and then we’re going to have lunch at that cafe you’ve always wanted to try near here.” he said squeezing your hand that rested in your lap while the other held the steering wheel. “It won’t be long, I promise.”
Not too long later, he pulled up to a mansion which looked slightly familiar to you and you gasped when you saw the surname on the front.
“Ji…” you said turning to look at your boyfriend and he only gave you a reassuring smile.
“Trust me okay? I know what I’m doing” he said while grabbing a file from the backseat and you nodded slowly. “Do you want to stay in the car or come down with me?”
“I guess I can come down with you…” you said slowly, “It would only be polite after all…”
“Okay.” he said getting out of his car and going to your side to open the door before offering his hand for you to get out.
Hand in hand, the two of you approached the security booth and Jihoon gave his name before the two of you were lead to the front door where distinct yelling could be heard.
The two of you shared a look with each other but before either of you could knock, the door swung open and a man in his mid fifties stormed out before stopping half way once he noticed those present and you froze the moment you made eye contact.
“Ah, if it isn’t Y/N.” he said with a slight sneer, “My son did tell me you were back in town. It was hard to believe since you ran out on him all those years ago. I’m looking forward to having you as my daughter in-law in the next few months.” He then eyed Jihoon and instantly recognized him too. “And with the youngest son of Lee Financial I see...I can only assume that it’s all work and no pleasure.”
“Mr. Min.” you stated in your business voice but before you could continue, Jihoon cut you off.
“Mr. Min, it’s a pleasure seeing you again considering you couldn’t make our last meeting and sent your son in your stead.” he said with a slight smirk, “I hope your heart recovery is going better, Yoongi did tell me that it had taken a lot out of you, though I am surprised to see you out and about so soon after.”
The man obviously looked taken aback from Jihoon discreet but obvious call out but hid it just as quick as it showed.
“Yes, well my heart is doing better and I was just dropping by to see an old friend.” he answered quickly, “I must be going now but Y/N, I suppose I’ll see you at the wedding, your grandfather is most excited.”
“There will be no wedding if I can help it.” you said with your fakest smile and decided to dig further, “If your son had been able to keep it in his pants all those years ago then maybe we could’ve considered but just the sight of your family makes me sick. Now if you will excuse me.”
Turning around, you walked into the house and handed the maid your coat, being around your grandfather was much better than being around Yoongi’s father, that was for sure.
Watching you from behind, Jihoon gave Mr. Min his fakest business smile before shuffling the contents of the file he had in his hands around and proceeded to follow you into the house leaving the man to stare after the two of you with a slight glare.
As the two of you were lead into your grandfathers dining room, Jihoon pulled you back slightly to whisper in your ear.
“I’m not sure where that confidence came from, but it was extremely sexy.”
His comment lead you to blushing slightly and you smacked his arm.
“Would you have let him touch me?” you asked innocently and he shook his head.
“Of course not, had he laid a hand on you, I would’ve laid my fist on him.” Jihoon responded cracking his knuckles, “He should know his place in this circle. If he doesn’t, I would love to teach him.”
“Wow, you are nothing like your older brother...are you sure he’s the actual heir?” you asked right as the maid announced your presence which you took as your que to enter the room.
At the head of the table sat a man who looked to be in his late fifties, looking through various paper work in front of him and with a cup of coffee to the side. The look of stress was evident on his face but when the maid announced the new guests, he quickly straightened his back. He looked towards the entrance and a look of surprise took over him.
“Y-Y/N.” he said as he stood up quickly as you entered the room with Jihoon.
The air was tense, the two of you never had the greatest relationship since he had been trying to marry you off for most of your life but it was as if having Jihoon next to you made you feel more confident. You were no longer that naive little girl who was a student anymore. Instead, you were an established business woman who was working for one of Asia’s biggest corporations and in a relationship with the youngest son of one of Korea’s most elite families.
“Grandfather.” you said with a nod before looking at Jihoon who was holding a straight face but the air of confidence surrounded him.
“What are you doing here?” he asked, “If I recall, you always tried your hardest to avoid this place in the past.”
“I’m actually here with Jihoon. He said he had some business to take care of and asked me to accompany him.” you responded nudging your head at said man.
As if he was just noticing him now, your grandfather cleared his throat, “Ah, thats right. Jihoon, it’s nice to see you again. Please have a seat.
“Likewise sir.” Jihoon said shaking the older mans hand, “I apologize that my father couldn’t make it today... He just thought that I would be best suited to settle this instead.” he took out the file he was holding, “I assure you that everything has been signed accordingly and the numbers have not been effected.”
Jihoon slid the folder over to your grandfather who began to look through it, “As well...there are a few other things I’d like to discuss…” he gave you a side glance and caught your eye, making you raise your eyebrows. “Regarding your granddaughter.”
This caught his attention quickly as well as yours and you could feel Jihoon squeeze your hand under the table as if telling you to trust him.
“What about her?” your grandfather asked automatically, as far as his sources had told him, you and Jihoon were simply co workers who worked for Choi Industries and had maintained a professional relationship. But little did he know, Jihoon was about to kill those assumptions.
“It has come to my attention that you have been trying to marry her off to the highest bidder with the promise of a fine dowry.” Jihoon started as your grandfathers eyes widened, “As you know, it’s really no secret in our circles that the Mins have been trying to merge your families for quite sometime now and there are other families who also have an eye on that dowry, am I correct?”
Your grandfather nodded as he shot you a look but you avoided his gaze, you had a hunch as to what Jihoon was getting at and you didn’t want to say anything. You had promised Jihoon before that you would stay with him no matter what and this must’ve been his way of getting a point across.
“As you recall, my brother is set to take over Lee Financial once my father decides to retire...on top of that, I will eventually take over the CFO position of Choi Industries at some point on so it’s safe to say that my family has established themselves quiet well over the years don’t you think?”
Your grandfather nodded wondering where Jihoon was going with this. That was until he saw the one piece of paper under all the financial reports that Jihoon’s father had taken care of for him and his eyes widened at the two signatures at the bottom.
“You want to marry Y/N?” he asked with a slight gasp as Jihoon simply nodded.
“I’ve discussed with my father and brother as a matter of fact and they both agree that Y/N would make a great asset to the family. She attended a prestigious university, graduated top of her class and has worked with a few of the biggest corporations in Europe. On top of that, she’s now a manager with Choi Industries.” Jihoon explained, “As you can see, both my brother and father have signed the contract with their blessing.”
Your grandfather skimmed the document silently as Jihoon kept his cool demeanor. He leaned forward to look between the two of you and eyed you specifically.
“And what makes you think that I would approve of you?” he asked, though his eyes remained on you. He wanted to see how you would react to this whole thing and he was slightly shocked to see that you were calm throughout this process though you really had Jihoon to thank for that. His presence alone assured that you were going to be alright and that you had nothing to worry about “For all I know, this could be another set up like with the Chois.”
“Considering the fact that I saved your granddaughter from the Min’s attack upon her return to Korea, she has also been under my protection since then and as you know, outside of financials, our family also has a high influence within the securities sector worldwide. Truth be told, it is because of our family and not that Choi’s, that your daughter and son-in law have yet to be found my the Mins.” Jihoon answered and you gasped, turning to look at him with wide eyes. Jihoons family was actually the ones who were looking after your parents and not Seungcheols? Is this why the Min’s have yet to catch up to your parents, wherever they were?
The statement seemed to catch your grandfather off guard as well since his eyes widened at the mention of his daughter whom he hadn’t seen in years.
“Min Yoongi is currently in the States looking for them himself since your little contract stated that as long as Y/N’s parents sign the contract, she maybe wed to whomever.” Jihoon grinned as he leaned forward, letting go of your hand so he could fold his hands in front of him, “Unfortunately for him, I have no intentions of letting your daughter do such thing. I know about the relationship that Y/N had with Yoongi once upon a time and I know that he has proof to make them believe that he and Y/N are together. Unfortunately, I can’t let that happen. To make it simple, I have every intention of keeping Y/N to myself.”
“And how do you plan on doing that?” he asked suddenly, though you were here with Jihoon today, it did not look like anything more than a business gathering and he was interested to see how Jihoon would respond.
“I’ve been courting Y/N since her return to Korea without anyones knowledge” Jihoon stated bluntly and you felt the blush creep up your cheeks and it got worse when Jihoon continued on, “And as of two weeks ago, she and I have been in an established relationship. I also have every intention of making her my wife.”
“How can I believe that?” your grandfather asked with a slight chuckle, “I’ve had my men follow Y/N throughout her time here and no one has brought up the fact that she is in a relationship.”
“You are aware sir, that the men you have employed belong to my family. Of course they wouldn’t report about their bosses son.” Jihoon smirked, “Since Y/N was attacked, she’s been living with me.”
If they could, your grandfathers eyes widened even more. “Is this true Y/N?” he asked wondering how his men could let something like this slip.
“What he says is true Grandfather.” you confirmed, “Jihoon has been the perfect gentleman upon my return and if it weren’t for him, I may not be in this state I’m in right now.”
“And do you love him?” he asked skeptically as you shrugged your shoulders.
“It’s only been two weeks since we’ve established our relationship. I could very well love him and not know it yet.” you let out a sigh, “I’m not that unconfident child you think I am anymore, Grandfather. With all due respect...I’d like to choose the man I marry and not base it off on an inheritance that almost every upper class family is after.”
Looking at you carefully, your Grandfather leaned back in his chair with crossed arms and let out a small huff. Your posture didn’t falter after your statement and he could see that Jihoon was completely unaffected by your statement so it was obvious he wasn’t after the dowry, if anything he seemed to give off a more confident energy.
“Very well.” he said after a small silence, “When Jihoon purposes to you, then I will sign the contract and make the official announcement.”
“I would rather have the contract between our family’s done now.” Jihoon stated pushing the document forward before giving you a small smile, “Afterall, it’s not a matter of when I propose...its a matter of how.”
“It will also get the Min’s off your back.” you said finally understanding Jihoons purpose in all this once you got to skim the contract since you had to sign it as well.
There were a few amendments to it done by the Lee’s lawyer and you could see the signature marks where they were acknowledged and they were mainly under the financials and security sections.
“Once the contract is signed, everything will be able to take effect. The Min’s have been trying to up their name in our society for years and using untasteful tactics including blackmailing your family.” Jihoon stated making your Grandfather gasp.
“You know about that?” he asked, sitting up straighter.
Jihoon nodded, “Of course, we do help you with your financials and we can see why your numbers have been in slight decline as of late, so we asked our team to dig further. Those reports have been included in the file that I’ve brought with me today. If you’d like, you can take the time to reread the reports today and you can sign the contracts when you’re ready, I’m sure Y/N would be okay with signing them today.”
“Hand me the pen.” you said with a small grin as Jihoon did just that and within seconds, your name was on the contract. Pushing it forward towards your grandfather, you gave him a small smile. “You can sign it whenever you want...take as much time as you need..”
“Jihoon, do you mind if I have a word with my Granddaughter in private? It won’t take long.” he promised as Jihoon nodded.
“Of course.” Jihoon answered standing up and leaned down to kiss the crown of your head before whispering, “I’ll be right outside if you need me.”
You looked up at him with a smile as he nuzzled his nose against yours, “Okay.”
Once Jihoon was out of the room, your Grandfather couldn’t help but see the happiness radiating off of you and he couldn’t believe it.
“You’ve really changed throughout the years Y/N.” he said with a soft smile, “I was surprised to see that you decided to return to Korea so suddenly.”
“Yoongi runs most of his family State side corporations and it was only a matter of time till he tried to reach out. I figured it would be easier to face my demons head on instead of hiding.” you explained, “I didn’t even reach out to Seungcheol till I returned and settled in.”
“Ah yes...your ex-fiance. How is he?” he asked and you shrugged your shoulders.
“Same old, same old. He’s set to take over his father once he retires in about five years. After that, he will find himself a suitable bride.” you responded, “But this obviously isn’t about him now is it?”
“No, it’s about you…” your grandfather said with a small nod, “Are you happy with Mr. Lee?”
“I wouldn’t be with him if I wasn’t. Fortunately, I am capable of finding my own happiness.” you responded with a soft smile, “I wouldn’t want to be betrothed to anyone else.”
“And what if I were to say no and agree to marry you off to the Mins?” he questioned and you were completely expecting this question.
“I would rebel and if Jihoon loves me the way I think he does, he would use all his power to fight against it as well.” you responded automatically, “Nothing you say will leave Jihoon. Your condition was that I be married to an established family by the time I turn twenty-five and I think the Lees fit that criteria. Another one of your conditions is that whomever signs the contract first has priority. It’s obvious that the Mins are old fashioned and won’t sign the contract till Yoongi proposes to me which I will reject over and over again.”
“And what if this turn’s out to be a farce?” your grandfather challenged and you resisted the urge to roll your eyes.
“All these what if’s.” you said in an almost frustrated voice, “Listen, I will marry Jihoon whether you sign the contract or not. The amendments in the contract state that no one can mess with the family once Jihoon and I are betrothed and that includes the Mins and it will take effect once it’s filed with our lawyers. But if you don’t sign it, I will marry Jihoon and the Min’s will continuously harass YOUR family because of what they lost.”
You got up and picked up your bag, “I feel like I don’t have to explain this further so if you need me, feel free to contact me through the Choi office but Jihoon and I do have plans today so I must get going.”
With your last statement, you quickly left the dining room in a frustrated manner, right past Jihoon and out the front door leaving both him and your grandfather to stare after you in shock.
With an awkward bow through the crack of the door to your grandfather, Jihoon got your coats from the maid and made his way out the front door where he saw you leaning against the passenger side of his car with a frustrated look on your face.

Warnings: A lot of chapters have a bit of swearing
The stress was getting to you. There was no denying that the stress was getting to you but you kept it hidden well. The dance competition was only a week and a half away and you and Hoseok were spending a lot of time in the practice room perfecting your routine and you were in the process of finalizing one of your pieces for the showcase that Joshua was going to perform for you since you were no singer and often hid behind the curtains. To everyone around you, it seemed like things were going well.
Jihoon, Jin and Yoongi could tell you were stressed though. It was obvious to them as they saw you almost everyday and picked up on little things you did that were slightly out of character. You had a tendency to skip meals and spend a lot of time in your studio, at the same time Jihoon was busy with his music too and despite wanting to spend a lot of time with you, he still had to work on his projects as well in his own room studio. This meant that the two of you were communicating more through text and phone calls as opposed to seeing each other which was in a sense okay, but you also missed hanging out with him just as much.
Yoongi saw the significant change in you during your practices with Hoseok. The dance routine consisted of many flips and were times where you’d stumble on your landing and more often then not, Hoseok would have to catch you as you tripped. This was a big concern because the dance competition wasn’t far off and he knew you had to be in top shape but it was obvious you weren’t. Fortunately, your meetings with him didn’t take much energy and he was still satisfied with the work you were doing and rarely had anything to comment about outside of your exhaustion he could see but you always brushed him off saying that you were fine and just needed to get a bit of sleep. He knew you weren’t sleeping.
Jin was now home full time as Yoongi had warned him of what you were going through and the rest of the boys in the house were wary. You never ate with them and constantly locked yourself in your room working for long periods at a time, only to come out and get a snack. It got to a point where Jin started making meals and leaving them on your desk everyday. He would personally sit in your room with you to watch you work while you ate just to make sure you did it. Unfortunately, it didn’t sit well with him when all you would eat were a few bites before claiming you were full and proceeding to continue with what you were doing.
To them, you had become a literal zombie and it only got worse.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Hoseok asked one day as the two of you were walking back to the house after a late night practice session. During the practice, you had messed up one of your flips and landed directly on your knee as opposed to your feet which was where you were supposed to land and despite you being able to walk, it was obvious that you were in severe pain.
“I’m fine...I just need to ice it when we get back to the house and I should be good for practice in a day. Please don’t tell the guys or else they’re going to have a major freak out and we can’t afford that right now” you responded as if you weren’t in excruciating pain. There was a throb in your knee but other than that, it wasn’t all that bad and you were sure it wasn’t going to bruise. “Plus, would I be walking if I wasn’t?”
“If you’re sure…” Hoseok said with a side glance as he opened the door, “WE’RE HOME!”
“Finally! Y/N did you forget your phone again?” Jin asked popping his head out of the kitchen and you gave him a sheepish grin, nodding your head. “Well, it’s been going off for the last hour so you should really check who it is.”
“Sorry Jin.” you said as you slowly walked to your room trying not to limp, you could feel Hoseok’s stare on the back of your head as you opened your room door and closed it in order to change.
Once in the safety of your own room, you let out a sigh of relief, happy that you made it this far and started limping towards your bed.
“Why are you limping?” a voice behind you asked catching you off guard and you ended up falling as your knee gave way.
“Y/N?” the same voice asked and you looked up to come face to face with your boyfriend who looked incredibly concerned.
“Geez Jihoon, make some noise next time.” you said as he came to kneel next to you, “What are you doing here?”
“I finished my projects that I had to do and wanted to see my girlfriend.” he responded as he helped you up and sat you on your bed before sitting down himself. “Where were you?”
“Dance practice with Hobi.” you said wincing as you tried to lift your knee. “The competitions in a week and a half and we still have a few loose ends to tie.”
Jihoon nodded his head as he saw you struggle to bend your knee and helped you take off your dance shoes. “Are you okay? Did something happen earlier?” he asked and you could hear the concern in his voice which made your heart melt.
“I just had a little accident.” you said giving him the sweetest smile you could muster, “I’ll be fine in a day or two though.”
Jihoon looked at you, like REALLY looked at you and all he could see was pure exhaustion radiating off of you. You had eyebags deeper then a skeleton and your shoulders were slumped to the point where he was supporting you to stay up. It had only been two weeks since you saw each other for a long period of time and he was shocked to find that you weren’t taking care of yourself.
“I’ll go get you an ice pack” he said standing up but your hand on his wrist stopped him.
“Please don’t...I don’t want the other guys to know..” you said looking down, “We’re too close to our deadlines and the last thing I need from them is to worry.”
“They worry because they care babe.” Jihoon reasoned but sat down anyways just as a knock came to the door and Hoseok poked his head in with a tray.
“I offered to bring you your dinner today Y/N” he said with a small smile before placing the tray down on your desk and producing an icepack he had hidden under his shirt. “And here. Jin made enough food for two.” he said offering the icepack to you but Jihoon had taken it and held it to your knee he now had on his lap.
“Thank you.” you said with a small smile, “I appreciate it.”
“Take care of yourself.” he said as he opened your door, “Though I’m sure Jihoon will be able to help with that now so I’m not so worried. Have a good night you two.”
“Night Hobi” you said as Jihoon waved.
Once the door was shut Jihoon let out a sigh and continued to hold the icepack to your knee.
“You’ve been stressed…” he said softly holding your cheek in one hand. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“You’ve been busy with your projects too...I didn’t want to bother you so much.” you reasoned and Jihoon let out a quiet scoff.
“You know I’ll always make time for my girlfriend.” he retorted and shifted so you were now leaning on your bed frame and he went to get the food Hoseok had brought and placed it on the little table that you had next to your bed. “Yoongi called me today...he said you haven’t been yourself and wanted me to check on you.” he explained as he made you a bowl of food as well as himself.
“Traitor.” Jihoon heard you mutter under your breath which made him chuckle.
“Baby...What’s going on?” he asked as the two of you ate.
“Nothing.” you responded, “I’m just starting to feel worn down...it’s normal at this time of year.”
“It’s not supposed to though.” Jihoon said placing a hand on your knee, “Especially when you have an awesome boyfriend like me to depend on.” he finished with a grin which earned a giggle from you.
“But boyfriend also has a weird ex who is stalking me around campus to this day...did you know she transferred over?” you asked and Jihoon nodded.
“Cheol told me the other day...has she done anything to you?” Jihoon asked wanting to know if Hana was a contribution to your stress.
“Not...really?” you said with furrowed brows, “I can tell that she wants to talk to me...but I’m not sure about what and with me being too busy and all because of school and dance, I can’t find the time to even care much…”
“Good, you shouldn’t care about someone like her.” Jihoon said as he reached into his pocket and brought out a braided leather strap with a metal charm on it, it was similar to the one that donned around his wrist except the charm on yours was rose gold, “I’ve been meaning to give this to you for a while now but we haven’t really met up soo..”
“What is it?” you asked as he put it on your wrist. “Since when have you been into couples jewelry?”
“I actually...got this for Hana when we were dating but she never really deserved it so I never gave it to her.” he explained, “This is a thank you...a thank you for believing me, a thank you for changing me into a better man...A thank you for depending on me...and a thank you for letting me depend on you. It’s a reminder for you to know that you can always look to me in your time of need too. You’re my miracle, baby. I wouldn’t be the man I am now if you weren’t in my life.” he said softly, wrapping his arms around you and bringing you to his chest.
“Awe Ji…” you said looking down at the bracelet while tearing up, “You...you’re amazing and I know that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. These last few months have been amazing with you.”
You leaned your head up so your lips could meet his in a tender kiss and your hands that had the bracelets on them intertwined.
“Can you stay tonight?” you asked, you missed him so much and it was nice to have him by your side. Jihoon nodded to his bag he had in the corner of the room.
“Already intended to.” he said kissing your lips once more. “Now let me take care of that knee of yours, the competition is literally a week and a half away.”
The two of you spent the rest of your night talking, kissing and cuddling before settling down to watch a movie on your laptop. When Jin came to check on you a few hours later, he was happy to see you bundled up under Jihoon’s chin and wrapped in his arms, the hands that had the bracelets on them intertwined on top of the blanket.
A few days later, you were on your way to the dance studio to meet with Hoseok and Seungcheol whom Hoseok had asked for his input on the competition routine. Unfortunately, Jihoon had a meeting with Yoongi so he couldn’t walk you from his class over but promised he would meet up with you once you were done.
Your knee had healed, despite the slight ache you felt whenever you bent it. You had spent almost two hours convincing Hoseok that you were fine to compete though he did not believe you at first, but after running through the routine almost flawlessly, he gave in.
“Hey you!” you heard someone yell from behind just as you were at the top of the steps only to see Hana walking towards you. She had caught you at the best time too since Seungcheol nor Jihoon were around and you could only curse in your head at your bad luck.
“Can I help you?” you asked pretending not to know her and tightened your books to your chest.
“I want you to stay away from Jihoon.” she said harshly, “He doesn’t need you in his life.”
You raised your eyebrow at the immature girl, “Excuse me? And you are…”
“Don’t play stupid, you know who I am.” Hana said with a glare, “Stay the fuck away from Jihoon. He’s only using you to get over me and I want him back so you better let him go.”
Oh my gosh, Hana was acting like a high schooler and you had to think about what Jihoon had seen in her all those years ago. You were already running late and didn’t feel like arguing with her but her comments irritated you.
“I’m sorry...Are you a high schooler? Cause that was pretty immature, of course I know who you are Hana.” you said with a glare that matched her own, “The person who stole his work, the person who broke his heart and his trust. The person who got kicked out of her old college because her department had FINALLY caught her plagiarizing other peoples work. Who did you leech off at your old school once Jihoon was gone?”
“I did no such thing” she denied, “This isn’t about school, this is about you and Jihoon. If you don’t let him go, then I’ll have to teach you a lesson.”
“Yea, good luck with that.” you said, “You are aware who I’m related to in this school right?” You never liked using the big brother card but with Hana, you had no issue. Especially since she had threatened you.
“Who cares!” Hana yelled and then something caught your attention. The bracelet on your wrist with the charm. She had been with Jihoon when he bought it all those years ago and promised to give it to her on one of their anniversaries but he never did and now, it was on your wrist. This triggered her immensely and she growled, “That bracelet...is supposed to be mine!”
You looked at Hana and down at your bracelet, “Jihoon gave it to me as a gift. I don’t think it was ever meant to be yours.” you said as Hana took a step towards you making you back up slightly, she had this look in her eyes that were giving you signs that things were not going to be okay. Inwardly, you groaned. You left your phone at home again and couldn’t call anyone to help you. The campus was also practically empty since it was dinner time so it was only the two of you around.
“It is mine...he bought it for me but never gave it to me.” she growled and grabbed your wrist, she obviously didn’t care how close you were to the stairs at this point and you were sure that she was in a state of blind rage. “Give it back! It belongs to me! Jihoon belongs to me! You already have everything you need! The student body presidents your brother, the top music producer from this school is your brother and you’re one of the most popular people in this school! So just give me whats mine!”
“Let go of me!” you yelled back, “Stop acting like a spoiled brat! Nothing BELONGS to you, you need to EARN everything you do. Instead you STEAL peoples music because you don’t want to work hard for your own! Why do you think Jihoon left you in the first place?”
That statement was the final straw for Hana and it triggered her immensely and the next thing you knew, she was trying to rip the bracelet off your wrist. “Give it to me! You’re the spoiled brat here!” she yelled and you dropped your books to try to get her off of you.
“Let go of me I said!” you said trying to get her iron grip off of you but the next thing you knew, Hana had scratched your arm so hard that it made you gasp in pain and you felt your foot slip. You rolled down the five steps which would have taken you to the dance studio and heard a crack in the process.
Had you not been short on sleep or as stressed as you were, you figured you could have fought her off but because you were so tired from staying up late the night before things didn’t go accordingly and Hana had successfully pushed you down the stairs. The only thing that she didn’t succeed in, was taking the bracelet off of you but she was going for that next. But before she could take a step down the stairs, two voices yelled from behind her.
“Y/N!”
“Hana!”
Seungcheol and Hoseok, who had been on their way to the dance studio themselves saw you and Hana fighting from afar and were running towards you when they saw her shove you backwards.
By the time they got there, you were at the bottom of the stairs clutching your knee in pain, trying to hold in the tears that were threatening to fall
.
Hoseok was quick to get his phone out while Seungcheol pulled Hana aside and started yelling at her.
(Across campus)
Jihoon sat with Yoongi in his studio where all the magic happened and the two were having a conversation about one specific piece.
“So you think she’ll know its for her? Jihoon asked as they listened to the song.
“My sisters not dense...she might cry though..” Yoongi said with a grin, “It sounds great and she’s going to love it. Good job.”
“I should thank you though.” Jihoon said looking at his mentor, “If it weren’t for you, I would have never met her...and we wouldn’t be where we are now. I would still be in this messed up slump and probably would have given up music by now.”
Yoongi smirked and ruffled Jihoons hair, “I knew from the moment I met you that you’d be perfect for her...you really compliment her well as she does you. It was only a matter of time that the two of you would meet. You have too much talent to give this up Ji.”
“I know that now...because of her. Honestly though, I fell for her the day I saw her at the cafe and thats when I didn’t even know who she was. She just looked…,bright, happy and the way that she spoke with the barista as if they had been friends for ages really warmed my heart.” Jihoon said looking down, “I think I may love her already…”
Yoongi nodded his head in approval, “Good, cause I’d have to kick your ass if you didn’t” he joked and looked at his watch, “We’re just about done here...why don’t we go grab a bite to eat and then pick Y/N-”
Yoongi’s phone rang and he answered it when he saw Hoseoks number.
“What’s up?” he asked as he heard Hoseoks frantic voice.
“What the f...Who the heck did that to her?”
Jihoon’s ears perked up at the anger in Yoongis voice and saw that the man now wore a scowl on his face,
“For fuck sakes...we’ll be there soon. Don’t move!” he said and stood up quickly grabbing his jacket while hanging up.
He looked at Jihoon and all the younger male could see was anger and fear.
“We gotta go, it’s Y/N.” was all he said and Jihoon was quick to get up as Yoongi yelled out the door.
“JIN! WE GOTTA GO, GRAB A BANDAGE AND AN ICEPACK!”
Soon the three men were out the door, almost running across campus to get to you and to see what was really going on.
It was the one time that Yoongi cursed that dance department being on the other side of the school.
By the time they got there, they saw many different things. A group of students had crowded around the group, Seungcheol was now standing next to a guilty looking Hana who had snapped out of her rage once Seungcheol had yelled at her and the other members of the BTS frat house who were on campus were also present.
Jihoon felt the anger build inside him, of course this had to do with Hana. He mentally cursed himself for letting you walk across campus on your own which left you vulnerable to her and his only priority now was to make sure you were okay.
When Hana saw Jihoon approach, she tried to reach out to him, “Ji...i-it wasn’t my fault.”
“Shut the fuck up.” he said in his coldest voice as he walked by making her flinch, “If my girlfriends injured because of you, don’t think I’ll hold back and trust me, I’ll get the story from her.” he said as Yoongi told everyone to move out of the way so they could get to you.
Seeing the student body president and Yoongi approach did just that and what they saw made them cringe.
You were at the bottom of the steps, which thankfully were only about five down, holding your knee to your chest and they could tell there was swelling since you were wearing your dance shorts and a bit of blood from the concrete.
What broke Jihoons heart was that you looked like you were trying to hold in your pain though your face was beyond red. Hoseok was softly speaking to you, trying to get you to allow him to inspect your knee but you couldn’t move nor speak and you just held your knee tightly to your chest.
“Y/N” Jin said as the three approached you.
Jihoon was quick to be at your side while Yoongi and Jin more or less forced you to let go of your knee.
He took your hand in his which made you look at him and he wiped the tears that had fallen with the pad of his thumb.
“J-Ji…” you whispered trying to hold in your sob, “it hurts sooo much.”
“I know baby…” he said softly as he pushed your head to his shoulder and stroked your hair, “Let Jin and Yoongi look at your knee and just focus on me okay?” he whispered in your ear.
The smell of Jihoons cologne was comforting and you tried to focus on him stroking your hair instead of the pain of Yoongi and Jin looking at your damaged knee. You felt the tears that had been threatening to spill come out and was thankful that Jihoons shoulder let you hide them. You hated crying in public.
Jihoon felt you slowly relax in his arms as he continued to stroke your hair and whisper in your ear. “It’s going to be okay…just focus on me...I’m here for you baby…”
“We’re going to have to take her to the clinic. Her knees too swelled up to see if anythings broken.” Yoongi said as he applied the icepack and Jin started wrapping it around your knee.
“Namjoon went to get his car and is on his way.” Hoseok said. “I already called ahead to the doctor the dance team uses and she’s going to take her in immediately.”
“You guys go to the clinic with her.” Jin said standing up once he was done wrapping your leg and glared straight at Hana, “I’m going to deal with what happened here and I’ll meet you there after.”
The last one was like 5k words so I wanted to make this short and sweet ♥ hope you like it!
“Are you sure you don’t want to go back home for Christmas this year?” Jungkook asked out of the blue as he untangled Christmas lights on the floor of your shared apartment while you added more decorations to the tree.
It was that time of year again and you were having the “where you’ll be spending Christmas” conversation with your boyfriend of three years.
“I thought we agreed to celebrate in Busan with your family this year.” you said, “We spent Christmas with my family last year.”
“I know, but it’s not like we have to alternate or anything.” Jungkook explained, “I know how much your miss your family and I know how much they miss you.”
Your heart melted at Jungkooks words. He was so considerate and thoughtful and he knew how close you were with your family. He knew how hard it was for you to pack up and move your life from your small town to Seoul once your relationship got serious after a year of dating and he knew how close you were with your big family. You made it a point to visit them a few times every year and would spend one major holiday with them and Jungkook took it upon himself to make sure you got to and from your home town safely and on his dime.
At first you didn’t like it, you weren’t with Jungkook for his money or his fame. You were with him because you loved him for him and he knew that. It was WHY he made it such a big deal to take care of all your travel needs. You were a small town girl from Jeju and you loved the island life but always wanted something more. You had gone to visit friends in Busan one weekend around the same time Jungkook was visiting his family and through a mutual connection, the two of you met over dinner with the group.
Jungkook was instantly smitten when he first laid eyes on you that night and was surprised to hear from a friend that you were currently single. He couldn’t believe someone as beautiful as you was available and decided that he was going to get to know you. At the end of the night, the two of you exchanged numbers and promised to keep in contact.
It took him close to six months to ask you out officially. He had come to visit you and Jeju one weekend and ended up meeting your large family. At the time, the two of you were still friends who liked each other but after a night walk on the beach and his lips meeting yours for the first time, he left your boyfriend with the full approval of your family.
“They were planning on travelling this Christmas anyways, plus didn’t you want to spend time with your family this year?” you asked as he shrugged.
“I’m okay with anything really.” he said with a grin walking over and wrapping your arms around your waist from behind as he helped you hang the last decoration, “I can spend Christmas anywhere” he kissed your cheek, “As long as it’s with you.”
I’m a day behind on this because work and sickness got in the way again (why does December bring a weak immune system?) but I’ll be posting Day 3 Right after :)
Pairing: Reader x Taehyung
Genre: Friends to Lovers

“Where are you?” you asked through the phone as you looked around from your meeting spot near one of the Christmas trees.
“I’m almost there, we’re meeting in front of the tea shop right?” the person on the other line asked, “Oh wait, I think I see you.”
You turned your body to see if you could spot your best friend and froze when someone covered your eyes from behind.
“Guess who.” the voice said as you put your phone to your side and you turned around with a large grin only to come face to face with Taehyung who had a black mask covering his mouth.
The first thing you did was throw yourself into his arms. It had been close to three months since the two of you last met up and he promised you that he could go Christmas present shopping with you for his members. They had invited you to their annual Christmas dinner and you were more than excited to attend since you haven’t seen any of them for so long.
You and Taehyung met during the Christmas season back when he was a trainee. You were just an art student working as a barista to make ends meet at the time and he was working towards his debut. He accidentally spilled coffee over one of your paintings you were working on during your break and had been extremely apologetic about it.
You obviously forgave him at the time since it wasn’t a big deal and he promised to repay you in someway. What you didn’t expect was for him to come back a few months later after not seeing him for a while with a wooden box full of acrylic paint and state of the art brushes. You tried to reject the gift at first since you assumed that he was just some random student but after much insistence, he admitted that he had admired the painting he ruined and wanted to see more of your art.
After that, he would be a constant at the coffee shop where you were able to work on your paintings during your break and after work times and as time went on, a strong friendship developed.
What you weren’t aware of was that as the years went on, Taehyungs admiration for your paintings turned into admiration for you. After you graduated art school, you became a well known painter and had your work displayed in various galleries throughout Seoul. Though you were young, it was obvious that you had a lot of talent that people could only wish for. Your fan base only grew when few discovered that during one of your projects, you used Taehyung as your muse.
You had taken various photos that the two of you had taken during your days out and used them as inspiration which resulted in your Best Friends with the Flower Boy series which Taehyung bought quite a few of them from local galleries without your knowledge.
Between your busy schedules it was close to impossible to meet up but whenever Taehyung made a promise, he ensured to keep it. Especially when it came to you.
“I haven’t seen you in ages!” you said with a wide grin, “How was the tour?”
“It was good, boring without you obviously.” he responded with an equal grin, “You look good.”
“And you dyed your hair again.” you said ruffling his light brown locks, “Was pink not good enough?”
“Not for Christmas.” he stated, “Shall we get started?” he asked offering his arm which you took and the two of you started your walk down the street.
There were a few stores you knew you already wanted to go to but you knew that Taehyung also had a list of stores he’d been wanting to go to as well.
“What are you planning on getting the members?” he asked casually as the two of you entered a music shop where you were picking up Yoongi’s gift. He’d been talking about it during your text conversations as of late and you knew it would help him a lot with his music production so you went ahead and preordered it for him.
“Yoongs has been wanting this new piece of equipment so I went ahead and ordered it for him a few weeks ago and I got Nam the original copies of book he’s been wanting when I was in Paris a few months back. For the rest I’m not too sure.” you said putting your finger to your chin in thought, “Maybe new dance shoes for Hobi, headphones for Jimin, a cookbook for Jin and a gaming laptop for Kookie.”
You paused for a moment to talk to the sales associates regarding your order and as they disappeared to the back to retrieve it, Taehyung took the opportunity to ask you what you got him.
“You’ll find out when we do the gift exchange” you said with a grin leaving Taehyung to pout. “What you getting me?”
“My heart.” he said in a slight joking manner, making a heart with his fingers, though in reality he wasn’t.
Your eyes widened as a blush made its way to your cheeks as you took him seriously for a moment. No one knew, but you had been crushing on Taehyung for quite a while now, ever since he took you to once of his concerts and introduced you to his members about a year into your new found friendship. You never really did well with rejection so you never told him about it, plus you were already content with the friendship you already had.
Pushing him away slightly, you scoffed, “Please Tae, you know that only works with your fans.”
As the sales associate came back with the item you had gotten Yoongi, you quickly took the item from their hands and gave your thanks and bid them farewell before quickly walking out of the store and away from Taehyung. You just needed a few seconds to calm your fast beating heart.
Taehyung followed behind you just as fast and matched your walking pace. He saw the perplexed look on your face and thought it was because of something he said though in reality, you were frustrated with yourself.
How many times had you seen Taehyung “flirt” with his fans and pretended that it never bothered you? How many times had you been to his modelling shoots with other female models only to be introduced as his “best friend” while you watched the girls shamelessly flirt with him?
It was stupid and you shouldn’t have let that one comment bother you, especially if it was meant to be a joke but you’ve had feelings for Taehyung for so long and it was getting harder and harder to deny that seeing all that hurt you. But, you couldn’t say anything about it because he would never be yours and even some sort of Christmas miracle happened and he confessed to you, nothing would change.
He had an image to uphold and you didn’t want to change that. He was just a friendly person in general. Eventually, he would find someone he really cared about and you would try to get over him and heal your broken heart in your own way.
The two of you went to a few more stores where you shopped in silence. In the process, you were able to pick up Hoseok, Jimin and Jin’s Christmas gift and all that was left was Jungkooks laptop that you would order online.
By the end of it, Taehyung couldn’t take it anymore. He knew something was bothering you and he couldn’t figure out what it was. Throughout the shopping trip, he would ask your opinion on various item and you would respond but other than that, there really wasn’t any small talk or banter between the two of you.
As you walked out of the last store with both hands full of bags, Taehyung suggested stopping by a cafe for a break which you silently agreed to.
He watched your facial expressions as you looked out the window. You were absentmindedly stirring your coffee and the cake he had ordered for you remained untouched.
“Y/N” he said quietly causing you to stop midstir to look at him, though before he could continue, you both heard a shutter go off and panic rose as he thought that the paparazzi had found the two of you.
He was about to turn around to talk to the person who took the photo but your voice caught him off guard.
“Myungsoo?”
Taehyung watched as you got up to give the man behind the camera a gentle hug before proceeding to sit down again. The only thought in his mind at this moment was how the two of you knew each other.
“I thought it was you.” he said with a small grin and looked at Taehyung, “And this is…”
You looked between the two men and face palmed, “Right, where are my manners. Taehyung, this is Myungsoo formally known as L. We met at my last art exhibition in Paris a few months back.” you gestured with your hand, “Myungsoo, as you may already know, this is BTS’s Taehyung, a friend of mine.”
Taehyungs heart dropped when the word “friend” left your mouth. Not “best friend” but just “friend”. Giving the other man a tight smile, he held out his hand, “It’s nice to meet you.”
“Likewise.” the man said with a gentle smile before looking back at you, “I was wondering where you were. My manager had a meeting with yours and I was hoping to run into you.”
You raised your brows curiously, “What for?”
“My agency was intrigued with a piece you did back in Paris and wanted to purchase it. They also wanted to see if you were interested in appearing in one of my photobooks I plan to release in the coming months. I heard you were in the preparation process for your next exhibition.” he explained.
“That’d be cool.” you said with a slight nod, Taehyung temporarily forgotten as you went into business mode, “Why don’t you email me your vision and we can talk details, it probably won’t happen till the new year though…”
“That’s perfect really.” Myungsoo said before looking down at his watch, “I have a meeting to get to but I’ll email you what I have in mind later this week and we’ll have our management sort out the details.”
You grinned at your friend as you nodded your head, “Sounds great, I look forward to it. I’ll see you around then.”
“I’ll see you around.” Myungsoo said with a nod before bowing slightly at Taehyung, “It was nice meeting you.”
“Likewise.” Taehyung managed to say before Myungsoo was on his way.
After he was gone, Taehyung looked at you and noticed the lost look in your eyes once again.
“Do you want to know why Christmas is so important to me?” he asked out of the blue and you thought for a moment before shrugging your shoulders.
“Why?” you asked tilting your head to the side slightly, you knew that he really enjoyed the lights and the snow but other than that, you never really understood why he enjoyed the holiday so much.
“I met by best friend at this very cafe a few years back. I actually didn’t know we were going to be best friends though until a lot later.” he said with a soft smile, “I remember asking her to hang out once and unfortunately, Jungkook had to tag along but the reason I remember it so well was because he took this picture of the two of us.”
He took out his phone and showed you his lock screen which was one of the first pictures that Taehyung had taken with you in this very shopping district. The two of you looked more like silhouettes, but the grins on your faces were undeniable.
Looking at the picture brought back a lot of memories and to this day, the two of you did your Christmas shopping together every year. Be it online or at a mall, it was always done together. It was like a way to celebrate your friendiversary and you cherished every moment.
Then it hit you, for the longest time you had no idea what to get Taehyung for Christmas. How did you get someone who had everything anything? You even went as far as to message Jungkook about it and the ideas he gave you weren’t exactly your cup of tea since the only thing he told you was, “Tell him how you feel, it’ll be the greatest gift of all.”
After looking at that picture which you also had a copy of, you stood up quickly and picked up your bags, catching Taehyung off guard.
“Is everything okay?” he asked as he stood up with you, utterly confused.
“I know exactly what to get you for Christmas.” you said and threw on your hat, “I have to go though if I want to get it on time. I’ll see you later Tae!!”
You then blew out the door leaving an extremely confused Taehyung behind.
“Did she forget that we still had more shopping to do?” he asked himself with a slight pout and shrugged his shoulders all the while wondering what had gotten you so excited suddenly.
A few weeks later, you were at BTS’s annual Christmas party which was hosted at an apartment rented for the specific occasion. You had arrived late due to an unexpected email but even after showing up an hour later, it seemed that no one had noticed you had arrived.
You had originally thought that it was going to be a BTS exclusive party but upon arrival, you noticed various executives and even a new girl group the company was going to debut in attendance. You had noticed Taehyung with one specific person throughout the night and it was obvious she was flirting shamelessly with him and to you, looked like he was flirting back. The rest of the BTS members were scattered talking to several people and you didn’t want to interrupt so you kept a low profile.
You put the gifts except one under the tree and made yourself comfortable people watching from the kitchenette and it had been your resting place for close to an hour now. You were surprised no one had noticed your presence, that or they didn’t care.
“Hey, when did you get here?” a voice asked as an arm was thrown around your shoulder and you looked up to see Jungkook with a drink in his hand.
“About an hour ago.” you replied, “Something came up and I wasn’t sure I was going to make it.”
“Why didn’t you say anything? Tae’s been looking at his phone all night waiting for you.” Jungkook said as he leaned against the counter and the two of you looked at the sight before you where he and the girl were now sitting on the couch and the girl was chatting animatedly while Taehyung looked engaged. “Well he was…” Jungkook gave you a slight look of concern.
“We actually didn’t know till last minute that more people were going to be coming…” he tried to explain as you shrugged your shoulders trying not to look put out. “Did something happen between you two? Ever since he came back from shopping with you, he seemed a bit off.”
“He met Myungsoo.” you said as if that answered all his questions.
“And? I introduced the two of you like a year ago.” Jungkook said slightly confused, “When I was photographing one of your exhibitions. Tae was there too.”
“And he probably forgot. Myungsoo came to my Paris exhibition a few months back since he was in the area.” you explained, “We’re going to be collabing in the new year and he was at the cafe Tae and I were at.”
“Okay...that doesn’t explain things though. Tae seemed put off...like he just kept muttering to himself. Friend? Friend? I’m only a friend?” Jungkook said in his best Taehyung imitation.
“Oh, I introduced him as a friend to Myungsoo.” you said, your eyes still glued to the two. You wondered if Taehyung had actually noticed that you were there and was just ignoring you. You actually wouldn’t have put it past him considering how you’d been avoiding his texts and calls the last few weeks as you were holed up in your studio trying to finish his Christmas gifts. In fact, you were ignoring everyone as you spent most of your time on this project.
“Well that explains it.” Jungkook said with a slight roll of his eyes, “So are you going to tell him this year? You know he likes you too right?”
“Does he?” you asked, “I’ve been to over ten shoots with him this year and five shows and ALL of them I’ve seen the same thing. This is my best friend this, oh my best friend is an amazing painter that. Even if he did like me, would it stop him from being TOO overly nice with the other girls?” you asked him and let out a slight huff, “Even after all that, I wouldn’t want him to stop being who he is.”
You looked down at your watch, “Plus, this year wouldn’t be ideal anyways…” you muttered.
Your phone buzzed and you looked up to see Taehyung on his phone.
[9:59pm] Tae: Hey are you here yet? We’re going to be opening the gifts soon.
Jungkook read the message over your shoulder and scoffed, “If only he looked towards the kitchen…Why wouldn’t this year be ideal? Do we have to have the talk again?”
“I’m spending Christmas in Italy.” you said not responding to Taehyungs text, “I got the email yesterday and I spent the whole day packing. A client wants to meet and my manager booked the tickets without letting me know.” you gave Jungkook a sad smile, “I leave in a few hours and I don’t know if I’ll be back before the new year.”
“A client in Italy?” Jungkook asked eyes wide, he knew you were famous but he didn’t know you were THAT famous in the art world.
“Something about an exhibition they want me to contribute to.” you said and shook your head, “Anyways, I just wanted to stop by and give everyone their gifts. Remember, I told you this last year, my insecurities are too big for me to tell Tae how I feel and with my job taking me all over the world, it’ll never work even if he felt the same way. I’ve wished every year for a Christmas miracle. That something would change my mind but I guess I’ll just wait another year and hope for the best”
You handed him a medium sized canvas which was wrapped in glittering wrapping paper, “Give this to Tae for me would you? The rest of your gifts are under the tree.” You gave Jungkook a tight smile, “I have to get going though if I want to make my flight. I’ll make sure to call on Christmas day.”
Jungkook nodded silently as he held Taehyungs gift in his hands, “Are you sure you can’t stay? I can let the guys know you’re here and we can take you to the airport after…”
“It’s okay. I think I need a bit of fresh air and I’m meeting my manager at the airport.” you took one last glance at Taehyung who was now looking around the room and you decided to make your exit quick and quiet.
Giving Jungkook a quick hug you silently slid out the door just as Taehyung made an excuse to leave the conversation he was in. He caught a glimpse of your hair just as the door closed and he looked to Jungkook who was standing in the kitchen looking slightly dazed so he decided to make his way over to him first.
“Have you seen Y/N?” he asked, “She hasn’t been responding to my texts but she must’ve texted one of us.” Taehyung said as Jungkook shoved the canvas in Taehyungs hand.
“Yea...she was actually here a while ago…” Jungkook said, “She was here for about two hours actually...I’m not sure how any of us didn’t notice her…but she left not too long ago...something about catching a flight.”
“A flight?” Taehyung asked as his brows furrowed together.
At this point, the rest of the BTS members had congregated around the two as they saw Taehyung with the gift in his hand.
“Hey Tae, where’s Y/N? We’re waiting for her to open the presents.” Namjoon said but noticed the look on Taehyung and Jungkooks faces. “What’s up guys?”
“Y/N was here…” Taehyung muttered still holding the wrapped gift in his hand.
“I came to check the kitchen to see if there were any rags since I spilled my drink and I found Y/N just watching everyone. Apparently she’d been here for about two hours…” Jungkook explained. “She just left a few minutes ago..”
“Two hours? How did we not notice her?” Jimin asked with a slight frown, “She didn’t even come and say hi.”
“Apparently no one told her about the extra additions to the party so she kept a low profile.” Jungkook answered, “She left our presents under the tree though.”
“We literally only found out about it today…” Jin said, “The gift exchange was still going to be between us though, we were going to go to the master bedroom and everything…Can’t you call her to come back?”
“She said that she’s spending Christmas in Italy this year and it was a last minute decision.” Jungkook said and looked at Taehyung who had been silent throughout this whole conversation.
“ITALY?!” all the boys chorused together gaining the attention of various people around the room.
“Something about a client or whatever…” Jungkook explained as Taehyung suddenly ripped open the gift in his hands and everyone looked at the painting in awe.
On the canvas, was a painting that resembled the photo that Taehyung had showed you back at the cafe, the only difference about it was that the shadows below the two people that you painted were holding hands and a heart was etched between the two.
Attached to the painting was a small note in your neat handwriting.
Tae,
As I write this note, I’m also listening to my manager briefing me about this trip that I’m about to go on. Last year, I got you a new coffee machine because you literally broke yours the day before we were supposed to go shopping. This year, I wasn’t sure what to get you. I mean, how do you get something for someone who has almost everything he wants?
It hit me when we were sitting in the cafe last time that in all our years of friendship, I never painted you anything as a GIFT and when you showed me the picture of our first outing together, I knew what I wanted to gift you… I wasn’t sure how you’d feel about this and I’ve been debating on this for years but I need to get this off my chest.
It’s always been you...♥
-Y/N
Taehyung read the note not once but three times to make sure his eyes weren’t deceiving him and he looked up at all his members who had similar looks on their faces.
“That bitch said she wasn’t confessing this year.” Jungkook suddenly muttered and Taehyungs head whipped to look at the maknae.
“What do you mean? This year?” Taehyung questioned and Jungkook sighed as he motioned everyone to join him in the master bedroom for the gift exchange and story time.
“Tae Tae, where are you guys going?” The girl he had been talking to earlier asked clinging to his arm, it was obvious she was slightly intoxicated and Taehyung could only grimace. Thankfully, Yoongi was there to save the day.
“Group emergency.” He said grabbing Taehyungs arm and dragged him to the master bedroom while the rest of the members got the presents under the tree.
“Just remember, I didn’t tell you this.” Jungkook said as the group sat around the big room. “Y/N likes you...like ALOT. Every year since the two of you first went Christmas shopping together, Y/N’s debated on confessing to you...The only reason I found out was because I heard her talking to herself one day when I decided to join you guys and every year to this day, I’ve literally tried to get her to tell you but she always finds a different excuse…”
Taehyung stared at Jungkook with wide eyes as the rest of the members listened already knowing the story. It was obvious that you had fallen for your best friend all those years ago, it was why Christmas shopping was YOUR thing and none of the other members joined because they knew it was the one time of the year where it was just the two of you with no one else. No managers, no members, just you two.
“Oh and I introduced her to Myungsoo like a year ago...he’s kinda dating my sister.” Jungkook said sheepishly while scratching the back of his head and Taehyungs jaw dropped. He had been jealous for nothing.
“I...fucked up…” he whispered but all the members heard him. He had wanted you to walk in to see him talking to the girl group member tonight and when you would’ve come over, he would’ve introduced you to her as his friend. He had intentionally wanted you to feel the way he had that day at the cafe.
“Why didn’t she say anything sooner?” he asked looking around the group who had already opened their gifts from you and were looking at them in awe.
“Because she didn’t want you to compromise you for her.” Jungkook explained, “You know Y/N, she’s humble as shit and all the shoots and shows you’ve taken her to, you’ve introduced her as your best friend…”
“You can also be a bit too friendly with the females…” Jimin added, “I can see why she never wanted to confess….”
“But I would do anything for her…” Taehyung whispered, “I literally book the month of December to go shopping with her. It’s been like that for the last few years.”
“We know that...but does she know that?” Jin asked with a tilt of his head as he admired the cookbook you got him.
“It’s about time you two stop dancing around each other but it’s obvious she’s too scared to make that move.” Yoongi said, “You know we’ve cancelled our schedules this month so I mean…”
“Except for that one day, but I’m sure if you move fast you can make it back by then.” Namjoon said with a wink.
“I think her flights already gone but I don’t see why we can’t catch you the next one out.” Jungkook said with a small smile, “Give her the Christmas miracle she deserves. I just gotta kiss up to her manager...again..”
A few days later, you were staring at the painting you had just completed. You still had about four more to complete but at least one was complete enough for you to be content. You had received texts from everyone expressing their disappointment that you didn’t say goodbye but they thanked you for the gifts and made you promise that you’d spend time with them upon your return.
The only one you didn’t receive a text from was Taehyung and despite not wanting to admit it, you were kind of disheartened. You had hoped that your message had come across clearly and you felt bad for lying to Jungkook but it was the only way. Had you told him about the note, Jungkook would’ve made you talk to Taehyung face to face and you weren’t sure you were ready for the assumed rejection.
“The painting looks beautiful.” a familiar voice said from behind you and you whipped around so quickly, you ended up knocking over the jar of water that held your paint brushes. Thankfully, you had tarped the floor before hand and the nice hardwood floor was unaffected.
“Tae?”
Stepping over the spilled water, Taehyung marched up to you and took your face in his hands before pressing his lips firmly against yours.
Your eyes widened for a brief moment before closing as the sensation of his lips moving against yours took over and slowly, you wrapped your arms around his neck and kissed him back. It was something you’d been wanting for a long time now and the feeling compared to what you imagined was a lot better.
When air became a necessity, Taehyung pulled away but his hands that had moved down to your hips kept you close and his forehead rested against against yours.
“It was always you.” he said, repeating the words from your note. “No one else.”
After he explained to you how he got to Italy in the first place (Jungkook owed your manager a GREAT deal), he then proceeded to lecture you on proper party etiquette and then told you he was going to be staying in Italy till your exhibition was over. He knew you still had paintings to finish but he was patient and wanted to spend as much time with you as he could and over the next few weeks, he would sit in your studio with you as you painted while he would take photos of you and even started painting a few pieces of his own.
During one of your painters block moments, he dragged you out to explore the shopping districts where he proceeded to spoil you with gifts that you insisted you didn’t need.
“Please!! Just let me spoil my girlfriend this once.” he whined as you stopped in your tracks and gaped at him.
“G-girlfriend?” you asked with slight shock and Taehyung only gave you a ‘Duh’ look.
“You kissed be back so by default, you’re my girlfriend.” he stated crossing his arms before he brought you close to him, “I know that I was stupid around other girls and I let a lot of them get too close even though I knew I had feelings for you...The guys kind of told me a lot and I feel like a complete idiot to disregard your feelings like that when I knew that I had them myself.” he took a deep breath.
“We’re in one of the most expensive shopping districts in Italy and it’s still technically before Christmas so we’re still technically Christmas shopping...please let me spoil you” he whined as he nuzzled his nose against yours.
Eventually, you gave in and you found yourself having to buy a whole new suitcase for the things he got you. After that, the two of you went back to your Air Bnb where you proceeded to cuddle and watch Christmas movies but this time as a couple.
Here is Day 1 of the challenge!! I’ll try to do a different member each time but if y’all know who my biases are (shoot me an ask if you do!!) I’ll give you a sneak peak of another story ;)
I consider this a challenge because I suck at one shots and essentially enjoy writing multi-chapters so I hope you like it!!
Lots of love!! ♥
Words: 1040
Pairing: Reader x Idol! Yoongi
“I haven’t done one of these in ages.” you muttered as you looked at the pile in front of you before looking up at your boyfriend who was giving you an innocent look, “You know when I said I wanted to do an advent calendar this year, I meant like one of the ones from Lindt Chocolate or something...not five different ones that contain perfume, tea, chocolate and excuse me is that jewelry?”
You then realized that the one containing jewelry was the Tiffany and Co exclusive and you looked up at your boyfriend in complete shock.
“Min Yoongi! Did you seriously purchase an over $100,000 advent calendar?!” you asked semi yelling as he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly as if it wasn’t a big deal.
“The guys pitched in for that one when I mentioned that you wanted to do one this year.” he said coming to sit cross legged next to you on the floor of your new shared apartment, “Plus, you’ve been so patient with me the last two years that I’ve missed Christmas...Consider this a token of my appreciation and I’m not bringing it back so you have to accept it.”
“But, you got FIVE. FIVE Luxury Branded Advent Calendars” you said picking up another one, “Does this one seriously contain only roses?”
“I googled which ones were the best and went from there, what’s the big deal?” he asked wrapping his arm around your waist from behind, resting his head on your shoulder. “My girl only deserves the best and as much as you wanted to settle on the simple chocolate ones which by the way,” he grabbed another box, “I got for you. I just figured this would be the best way to spoil my girl.”
“You spoil me enough with your love.” you giggled as he peppered kisses along your neck.
“Yea, but I wasn’t the best boyfriend during our first two years...I feel blessed that you stuck around for so long...for putting up with me all this time. I knew how important Christmas was to you but I always blew it off. I was surprised you didn’t leave me sooner” he muttered and you turned around and grabbed his face between your hands so he would look you directly in the eyes.
“I stuck around because outside of that tough producer exterior, you are a big softie who deserves all the love in the world.” you said pecking his lips, “And regardless what you think, the last three years have been phenomenal, with or without you here during Christmas.”
You let go of his face and grinned at him, “Plus you redeemed yourself with last years Christmas gift.” you held up your right hand that held a small promise ring on your finger, “Not because of the ring, but because you showed me that you truly cared for my feelings and showed me that you really were the man I fell in love with all those years ago.”
“So you’re saying you were never disappointed when I missed special events or holidays? Or when I forgot our first year anniversary together?” he asked bringing up his mistakes in the past which he was sure you would have left him for had he not apologized profusely.
“I can’t say that…” you said with a tight smile, “I just understood that you were busy with promotions and end of year schedules… Despite the disappointment, I knew what I was getting into when I said yes to you. You were working hard for yourself and for us, who was I to stop you? Plus, you’ve made up for it each and every time and I learned that I can never stay mad at you anyways so I just had to be patient and wait in line to be one of your priorities.”
You felt Yoongi pull you towards him and his lips crashed against yours in a passionate kiss which you returned instantly and by the time you two pulled away for the need of air, you were straddling him with your arms wrapped around his neck while his rested on your butt.
“I don’t fucking deserve you baby, I really don’t.” he started, “I’m sorry you never felt like one of my priorities cause that’s not true at all. Everytime I fucked up I just hoped that you wouldn’t leave me because seeing you after a stressful day got me to relax every time. Your presence in itself helps me relax. I love you so much you have no freaking idea how much you mean to me and I promise you that I’ll make up for all the Christmases I missed during our time together this year. I have the whole month booked just for you and this is the first year that our group won’t be participating in big Christmas celebrations so I’m all yours. This year, you are my priority...except on Christmas where we promised to meet up with the guys but you know who whiny the can be...” He let out a big breath which made you giggle and you leaned in to peck his lips once more.
“I love you.” you whispered as you shared a few more kisses, “And you were definitely worth the wait.”
Yoongi grinned at you as he leaned his forehead against yours, “What do you say we open the first day on these boxes yea?”
You giggled with a nod of your head and got off his lap to look at the five boxes in front of you and together, you each opened the first day, one by one. Each little door being a different surprise.
Yoongi’s heart swelled with pride as he saw you admire the charm that had been in the first day of the jewelry box. He had gotten you a charm bracelet on your first birthday you celebrated together and every year, he added something else. This year, it was a custom made charm with a heart and music note and he figured it’d be safer to not tell you how much the box actually cost him. He loved you and he was going to spend the rest of this month showing that.
Christmas is exactly a month away, and what better way to celebrate then to write some festive stories! To celebrate Christmas, I’ve decided to create something fun, a little advent calendar in the build up to the big day.
