I want him, Taehyung almost confesses. Jimin makes his life hard like that because he’s sort of soft, gives off this vibe of being welcoming, or accepting, or something. Even if his back muscles are disconcertingly defined.
“Say. What do you think of Jungkook? Just, like. In general.”
Jimin sighs exaggeratedly. “He’s a brat.” Taehyung nods. “Our brat, though. Even though he 'forgets' to call me hyung sometimes. Hmph.”
“He’s so—adorable, Jiminie,” Taehyung mourns, and it takes everything in him not to turn this into a half-hour sob fest about the dreadful consequences of such adorableness, complete with poster presentation and one of those extendable pointer thingies.
On their journey to becoming the number one boy band in the world, Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook fall in love. Based on true BTS events.
nostalgia corrosiva - drawingspaces (( 1/1 | M | 26,500 ))
taehyung and jeongguk are very good at getting other people to talk to each other. they’re not very good at the talking thing themselves.
or: the one in which they run an investigative podcast, don’t psychoanalyze anyone, and the scariest thing isn’t falling off the edge of a waterfall.
forever is a tangent - astringxnt (( 2/2 | M | 9,366 ))
in which Taehyung is a keeper of the past, and Jungkook only chases the future. "I don’t think I will ever find the words to describe the anger, the devastation; it swallowed me up from the inside out, killed me right where I stood as I listened to your breathing slow to naught, until there was only static.
what is lost/what is left behind - tetsurou (( 1/1 | T | 8,392 ))
Taehyung was in an accident. There are a lot of things in his apartment that don't make sense.
(make my heart) a Better Place - HereIGoAgain (( 1/1 | E | 40,809 ))
There’s one other thing that’s not changed. Besides the fact that Taehyung is just as bright, and brave, and beautiful as he was the day they met. That’s just fact. That’s just Taehyung. But it helps explain the other thing.
Being that Jungkook is hopelessly and desperately in love with him.
Always has been.
-
Jungkook has gotten pretty good at the whole tomb raiding gig.
Taehyung complicates things.
i just sorta feel sick without you, baby - glossssy (( 6/6 | N/R | 36,087 ))
“Did I make baby sad?" Taehyung calls as he backs away. "So sad." Jungkook fake pouts, then shoves up a middle finger. "Get lost."
(Jungkook and Taehyung are the lead singers of rival bands.)
Where You Resonate - sunsetskv (( 7/7 | E | 78,892 ))
Jeongguk wants nothing more than for his past to be forgotten—while Taehyung simply wishes to be remembered forever.
glass stars - flowerhours (( 6/6 | M | 6,302 ))
somewhere among the stars in the milky way, an artist falls in love.
Pluto - annangst (( 21/21 | E | 199,119 ))
Kim Taehyung has his life figured out. There's a simple plan to follow, a guaranteed path to a fulfilled life: Graduate high school. Volunteer. Get into the most prestigious university imaginable. Attend church. Never disappoint your parents, never veer off track. Maintain the perfect facade.
Taehyung is really good at following that plan.
Until.
Until, one cruel summer, his best friend drags him along to a sketchy underground club and introduces him to Jeon Jungkook – someone Taehyung vividly remembers riding a skateboard and folding paper airplanes with utmost precision back when they were kids.
And, well, Jungkook kind of fucks his whole plan up.
an echo of you - taecheeks (( 10/10 | E | 66,558 ))
"Where there are shadows, there is light."
Jungkook is the best in the Company. Every hit he's assigned, he does so without question and gets the job done quickly. But when he's assigned to take out the Shadow, a man who has stolen from his boss, he can't bring himself to do it.
Vitrail - Melarose (( 9/9 | M | 164,872 ))
For Jeon Jeongguk, a newly graduated witch hoping to become a powerful mage, the biggest mystery of his life has always been his missing familiar. He prays he’ll be assigned a mentor who will help him find it, eagerly awaiting the chance to prove himself.
Instead, he’s assigned to the infamous Kim Taehyung, the reclusive groundskeeper of the Arboretum who seems to cultivate more secrets than he does plants.
Stars, or Moons, or Something - redpangur (( 11/11 | E | 43,978 ))
When Jungkook was a lot younger, and didn’t know how to wall himself off, or that his body was this inexplicable thing liable to betray him, Hoseok used to joke that Jungkook had a huge crush on Taehyung. He teased Jungkook for his crestfallen looks when Taehyung chose another team, when he wouldn’t come watch Jungkook play video games, when he got the chance to leave practice early and actually did. “Give the poor kid a break,” Yoongi broke in at one point. “He won’t always get one.” Jungkook is older now, much more experienced at self-censorship. Sometimes he even just exists for long stretches of time, doesn’t consciously acknowledge how he’s always, always trying not to think too much about it. And then there are times like today in the recording booth, when he’s weak beneath it again.
Where the Light Shines - moonflower1306 (( 14/14 | E | 135,013 ))
Taehyung takes the role of a servant for a bratty but rich heir named Jungkook in order to seduce and cheat him out of his inheritance.
inure - volataeile (( 7/7 | E | 69,561 ))
Seven years after their breakup, Jeongguk and Taehyung begin to find their way back to each other.
Years ago, that would be the look Jeongguk would yearn for, searching for Taehyung’s eyes in every room he enters, wanting his attention, wanting Taehyung to look at him, to see him. He’d look back at Taehyung with just as much fire in his eyes, letting his gaze tell him everything Jeongguk couldn’t yet. How he's going to give him anything he wants in this world.
Jeongguk was ready to do that until the day it all ended.
Now, Taehyung’s eyes on him feel invasive, having Jeongguk afraid of what they’ll see if they look at him for too long.
sucker for you - anon (( 17/17 | E | 163,574 ))
“Jungkook here doesn’t believe the sun will burn him. Can you please tell him that it does so he doesn’t get hurt and become an even bigger pain in my ass?”
Jungkook pushes against his shoulder. “You were just begging for me to stay because you enjoy my company so much.”
Another questioning look on Jimin’s face makes Taehyung consider going somewhere else for the night so he doesn’t have to hear about it.
“Didn’t beg.” Taehyung fixes his shirt in case his position wrinkled it in any way. “Only said that to make you feel better.”
Jungkook scoffs under his breath. “You lie so much and wonder why I don’t believe you.”
