Soft hours (if theyre still open) with JK where he comes home tired and oc/reader runs him a bubble bath and takes care of him and all that pls
~💜
"You look like you've been hit by a train."
Jungkook hardly manages a chuckle before kicking his shoes off by the door and leaning against it with a heavy sigh. Frowning, you approach him and wrap your arms around his middle.
Nestling your chin against his chest, you observe him through your lashes. He looks utterly exhausted.
"Hey," you whisper. "How about a bubble bath?"
"Yes, please," he whispers back.
Leaving him there, you rush to the bathroom and begin to draw a hot bath. Lighting candles and pouring some Epsom salts into the water, you make the perfect scene for a relaxing night in. Knowing Jungkook, he'll probably fall asleep within five minutes of slipping into the warm water.
When you finish preparing, you return to the front room to find him still leaning against the door with a blank expression on his face.
Having seen a similar expression many times before, you simply take him by the hand and pull him along.
"Sit," you order. He plops down atop the toilet lid, looking up at you as he waits for the next step. "Arms up."
Even that action seems like too much for him, but he does so without complaining. He winces when he's extended his arms out completely.
You slide his sweatshirt off as gently as possible. When you lean down to help him with his shirt, you notice his red cheeks and the way he drops his arms and avoids your gaze.
This happens when he's this tired, too.
Jungkook, for all his working out and sought-after figure, is very insecure. He sometimes has days where he doesn't want anyone to see his body, and wears the baggiest clothes he can find. Today must be one of those days.
You don't push him. Instead, you kneel down and tap at his ankle. "How about I take your socks and come back later for the rest of your clothes? I'll throw them in the washer while you soak."
He nods slowly, cheeks burning as you peel the socks from his feet. Rising to your feet and heading out the door, you call over your shoulder, "Hop in and I'll come back for the rest of your clothes."
You've made it halfway down the hallway when his quiet voice calls out to you.
"Jagiya?"
You pause, looking back at the open door of the bathroom. Jungkook has already slid into the bathtub. The only visible part of him is his head sticking out of the bubbles. He looks at you with a soft expression, almost as though the warm water has returned him to himself.
"Yeah?"
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"I love you. A lot."
Winking at him, you continue down the hallway. "Love you too, Kook."
do you have any fanfic recommendations? like your favs? or writers!! 👀
*inhales deeply*
I've been waiting for this.
*cracks knuckles*
OK so first thing first, I would recommend going to my side blog where I reblog fics, it's Seokjin's Bookclub and you can search it up or click on the link in my bio.
bUT I HAVE WRITER/FIC RECS!
first, my entire masterlist. tbh "Mine" is my most underrated fic I think and it's also one of my favs to go back and reread soooo yeah
here you go!
@dreamcatcherjiah - ok so Jiah is a gem and she's also SFW (I think most of these writers will be) but they've got awesome Idol aus/soulmate aus (I'm trash for Tight Hearts) they have a super fun, easy to binge masterlist!!
@moon-write - also SFW and if you like deep & angsty, go here. seriously. but also super comforting? super good characters/development and cool aus. (loving their on-going dad!BTS stuff: BTS as Fathers)
@holdinbacksecrets - if you want literal art to grace your screen, check out their works! tbh I'm binging their stuff rn and I'm in love. awesome ongoing thing that I'm trash for is Boyfriend Things which is a cool twist on the typical Tumblr writing layout that forces you to transport yourself into the little moments captured in each post
@junghelioseok - ok, gimme a minute. this blog isn't really SFW but they are so good at what they do and they're one of the first writers I followed here. Their fic Polaris left an impression on me that I've never forgotten, and honestly helped me decide that writing on Tumblr was worth the effort if I could touch people like Polaris touched me. they have a little follow-up to it that was literal perfection, Novae. be aware that Polaris has some smut, however it's fairly easy to skip over if you're uncomfortable with it and it's by no means pwp
@writemywaytoyourheart - I'm currently reading their current series, Aim for the Heart! This blog is SFW and lots of fun content to binge! Super sweet author (lol we've never really interacted but I've always respected them a lot) and you'll feel right at home on their blog!
@homeofbangtan - this is just beginning, but there's a whole lot of Hogwarts!BTS about to come your way! all of the writers involved (@delacyrose224 @sunshinejunghoseokie @mochi-molala @joheunsaram @joyfulhopelox & @ggukcangetit) are all super talented and have their very own master lists to binge! the first fic was dropped today: The Weasel and the Serpent, so be sure to check it out!! I mean, who doesn't love Slytherin!Yoongi?? I'll be dropping mine early next week for the collab, as well!
ok. that's all for now. I'll probably think of more later, lol. but, special shoutout to these writers because they're super talented as well and I've binged their entire masterlists and would gladly do so again:
@hyungieyoongi (literal angel and writes super relatable oneshots)
@dulce-pjm (super cool au's and sweetheart)
@shadowofahope (also really interesting ideas)
@jiminiesmagicshop (love their stuff!! super underrated)
For soft hours: Jungkook drawing doodles on your arm while humming a song he’s working on 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
🥺 here's to a happy Jungkook day!
--
Soft humming grows closer to where you sit on the couch, and you instinctively open the blanket. A second later Jungkook appears, slumping down without a second thought.
"I didn't know you were still up," you whisper. Your eyes never leave the screen, too engrossed in the latest episode of your favorite show to watch how the boy's tired eyes are on you.
"Just finished my live," he answers.
"And how do you feel? One year older?"
"Not really. Just tired," he huffs a laugh. You glance at the clock.
"Not surprised. It's the middle of the night." When he doesn't reply, you nudge him. "You should go to bed."
Grabbing the arm your nudged him with, Jungkook pulls a pen seemingly out of thin air and shrugs. "I will in a minute. Can I stay up with you for a while?"
You gaze adoringly at your best friend in the world. As he lifts up the pen and resumes humming whilst doodling something on your arm, you sink into the couch and smile.
"Happy birthday, Kook."
He smiles up at you with those wide eyes of his. "Best birthday yet."
He doodles up and down your arm, but falls asleep halfway between drawing a cherry on the inside of your wrist. You can't help but giggle at the sight, and push away some of his hair from his forehead before gently stealing the pen away from his grasp.
"I love you," you whisper. Jungkook grunts in his sleep, eyes fluttering before falling shut once more. You remain frozen beside him.
When it looks like he's fallen into a deeper sleep, you snuggle in beside him and allow yourself to close your eyes.
You're not quite asleep yet when you feel a delicate touch along the bridge of your nose. Wrinkling it up, you hear Jungkook's small laugh.
"Cute," he mumbles. Then you feel his lips atop your head, pressing a gentle kiss there. "Love you, too."
He takes up humming again, resting his cheek atop your head. You fall asleep with your ear against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. It's only when you're on the cusp of sleep and awake that you realize you recognize the tune of what he's humming.
In the quiet of the night, Jungkook hums "Happy Birthday" to himself as he holds you in his arms.
BTS soft hour scenario ~ Yoongi tries to help you study, but it ends with him luring you to sleep.
You're unsure if it's because the setting sun has cast a golden hue inside your kitchen or if it's the soft classical music, but you're certain that Yoongi never intended to fall asleep.
Of course, it could also be the geology textbook that lured him off to dreamland.
"Yoongi," you quietly call out. He doesn't respond, breathing steadily as he slumbers with his cheek pressed up against the table. Brushing aside his black strands of hair, you smile.
"Hey, Yoongo Bongo," you say. "At least lift your head a little so I can turn the page."
By some miracle he obeys your request, shifting just enough to allow you to turn the page.
"Thank you," you whisper. He makes a noncommittal noise in response. "You know, if I fail my exam, I'm blaming you."
One eye cracks open at your threat. Observing you blearily, Yoongi sits up straight and runs his hands over his face.
"Yah, are you even paying attention?" He accuses with his raspy, tired voice. You laugh.
Howdy ma'am! I don't reckon you got me some writers you recommend?
yeah idk why i'm talking like that 😂
hey howdy hey!
I always have some awesome writers to recommend! here's a few that are awesome! some you may have heard of already.
@sor-vette : ma'am this is perfect for Halloween time!! their writing is so addictive and I'm literally in love with absolutely everything they write. one of the few authors I've actually requested to be put on a taglist for!
@burningupp : they have some super fun smaus! I've never really interacted with them before so this is me saying hi, hope you're doing well!
@ahundredtimesover : ok I've actually been aware of them for a while because they're super sweet and awesome, just be aware that they're taking a well-deserved break at the moment :)
@xjoonchildx : tbh I'd be genuinely surprised if you weren't already following ana, but who knows haha. super amazing writing, super friendly person, and their blog is so aesthetically pleasing to me lol.
@btsarmy9593 : I've never been more in my feels than with this writer, I swear. that is all.
ok there's so many more but that's all for now! happy reading!
Premise: Everyone is given a barcode that’s tattooed onto their wrists. Their soulmate has a matching barcode. It is common for most public areas to have a barcode scanner for those entering. The scanner will alert you if your soulmate has also entered the area.
“I can’t believe they only have one scanner,” my friend laments as she shifts from one foot to the other. “This is going to take forever.”
Looking at the line ahead of us, I can’t help but agree with her. If I had known that there would only be one scanner at the entrance of the concert, I would have found some way to sneak in. Now it’s much too late for that.
BTS doesn’t mess around when it comes to security.
“Do you think they make the boys scan in?” I wonder aloud, watching as an official looking person appears with what I hope is another barcode scanner in tow.
“I don’t know...do you think they even want them to find their soulmate right now? That would probably put a damper on their career, don’t you think?” She gets up on her tippy toes, mimicking the vast majority of the crowd as they wait to see if it is indeed another scanner.
When the man at the front begins to divide people into two separate lines to utilize both scanners, a round of cheers erupt in the crowd.
“Finally!”
“I was scared they were going to start the concert without us.”
“How would they even start the concert? All the fans would be outside waiting to get scanned.”
“Yeah, there’d only be like six people in the venue.”
“Oh to be those six people.”
I chuckle at the conversations I overhear, rolling my eyes. “Oooh, look! We’re moving!”
My friend and I leap forward, suddenly feeling like the line is moving much quicker now. “You’ve got your ticket, right?”
I nod. “Right here.”
To add to our joy, a third scanner is set up. Soon the lines are flowing as they should be, people hardly glancing at the scanner as they slide their wrist below it, eager to get inside.
I hop on my toes as my friend goes ahead, getting the ok from the staff member with hawk-like eyes. They wave me forward, and I grin at my friend as I swipe my wrist under.
“Thank y-” I chirp, but a hand on my arm stops me mid sentence.
“Wait here, please.”
I blink at them, my heart stopping. “What?”
“Your barcode jammed the system,” the staff member explains, unplugging the scanner and a round of groans going through the crowd. “Come with me, I’ll get your barcode properly scanned and lead you to your seat.”
“Can my friend come with me?” I ask in a small voice. The staff member gives me a long look, a flicker of stress behind their eyes.
“I’ll lead you to your seat as soon as I finish, please tell your friend to go ahead without you.”
It’s the look of stress that stops me from pressing the matter, and I wave at my friend who gives me a wave back, looking confused. I shrug, following the staff member.
What I assumed would be a quick walk to find another scanner turns out to be a jaunt through the entire stadium, weaving in and out of hallways that are bustling with staff members and makeup artists.
The worker that stole me away is currently speaking quietly into a walkie-talkie, using strange phrases and words that make no sense to me. My heart pounds as I wonder if I’m somehow in trouble, and I begin to wrack my brain for what I did wrong.
“Wait right here, please.” The staff member doesn’t even wait to see if I’ll obey before heading off into a closed room.
Leaning against the wall and keeping my eyes down as I feel the stares of all the other workers, I pray that this will be over quickly. I’m sure my friend is worried about me and the concert is supposed to be starting soon.
I swear, if I miss even one song I’m going to lose my mind.
The minutes tick by, the halls growing more and more frantic. I’ve started keeping count of all the times people pass me, and I’m nearly to 75 when I feel a light tap on my shoulder.
I turn, expecting to see the same worker as before but gasp as I see Sejin instead.
“Sorry to startle you,” he says. “Would you mind coming inside for a moment?”
Unable to say a word, I simply nod and follow him to the room where the worker disappeared. As I enter, I find that I’m unable to continue moving. Frozen in the doorway, I stare at Sejin as though he’s my only hope.
“I...I don’t think I should be in here.”
“On the contrary,” laughs Taehyung from where he’s lounging on the couch. “This is exactly where you’re supposed to be.”
All seven members of BTS are looking at me from where they’re sitting in various positions around the room. It looks like they were in a last minute run-through of the concert, they’re completely decked out and ready to perform.
So why...?
“Come in, please,” Sejin says, shooting Taehyung a sharp look. “This won’t take long.”
It’s like swimming through concrete trying to walk inside the room, but when I remember that they have a concert to put on in like fifteen minutes I pick up the pace. Sejin closes the door behind me, offering me a seat just outside the circle.
“Am I in trouble?” I ask, sitting down and keeping my eyes on Sejin. I feel like I might pass out if I look anywhere else.
Sejin gives me a soft smile, understanding my worry. “No, absolutely not. Are you feeling alright? Do you need anything? Water...snacks?”
I frown. “...no. No, I’m fine. What’s going on?”
Everyone chuckles at my question, making my cheeks burn. I look down at my shoes, praying that I’ll wake up from this strange dream soon.
“Jiminie, you said that you wanted to explain.” Namjoon is quick to get everyone back on track, a hush falling over the room.
Jimin, who’s sitting three people down from me, sits on the edge of the couch. I peek up at him, another blush taking over my features.
His cheeks are rosy as well as he purses his lips, looking completely unsure of himself. “Right.” He looks around the room as though searching for a prop or something before his eyes land on my exposed wrist.
His fingers are shaking as he struggles to unbutton his cuffs, j-hope helping him when he can’t quite get it.
“I have this barcode...” he mumbles, rolling his sleeve up until it’s hugging his elbow. Twisting, he extends his wrist out, showing me his barcode. “Look familiar?”
I blink, staring at his barcode for a long moment. Most barcodes look similar, some only varying in thickness or number by a small amount. But as I see Jimin’s barcode, deep down I know.
I’ve been looking at the same barcode on my own wrist my entire life.
My mouth grows dry the longer I look at his barcode, refusing to look him in the eyes. “Is it...?”
A quick glance at his face shows me that Jimin has wide, hopeful eyes. It’s enough to make me sit up straighter, that look going through me like a bolt of lightning.
“Yes.”
My mouth is ajar as I go back and forth from his barcode to my own, not quite believing my eyes. “Are you sure? They could just look really similar...the staff said I jammed the system,” I offer a little helplessly. “So we shouldn’t just jump to conclusions here.”
The boys share an impressed look, Jimin scratching the back of his neck before getting up off the couch. “Where’s that scanner?” He asks, Sejin appearing with a scanner in hand.
“You’ve got five minutes,” Sejin says. “Everyone else go gather up.”
I watch in horror as the other members get up and begin to file out of the room, bidding me farewell.
“We’ll see you later,” Namjoon says. “Jimin, five minutes.”
“I know.”
Jungkook gives me a sheepish wave. “It was nice meeting you. Enjoy the concert.”
Right. There’s still a concert.
When the room is empty of everyone except for the two of us, Jimin clutches the scanner in hand and walks over to me.
“I...” He pauses, looking like he’s the one that just got thrown into a room with his idol. “May I?”
He gestures to my hand, and it takes me a moment to understand what he wants. For some reason my brain keep short-circuiting every time I look at him and his soft gaze.
“Oh, yeah,” I mumble, holding out my hand and flipping it so he can scan the barcode.
“Look,” he says, sitting beside me and showing me the screen. Scanning my barcode, I gasp as I see what it says.
Match: Park Jimin (red alert)
The words blink up at me, daring me to believe them. Jimin sits quietly beside me, waiting for me to say something.
Watching the blinking screen, a giggle escapes me. Jimin freezes, unsure of what to do.
“What’s so funny?” He asks, sounding a little offended. I shake my head, pointing at the screen.
“This. I mean, what?” I look at Jimin, grinning. “I literally thought I was in major trouble because earlier I said that I should have just found a way to sneak in without having to wait to get scanned. I seriously thought that I was going to get fined or something!”
Jimin’s concerned expression morphs into a smiling one, and he joins in on the laughter.
“Well, surprise!” He waves the scanner in the air.
I can’t stop shaking my head, still in disbelief. Sighing, I look at the clock on the wall.
“Don’t you have a concert or something?”
At that exact moment someone knocks on the door, and Jimin jumps up. Extending his hand to me, I stand as well, marveling at the feel of his hand in mine.
For the soft scenarios cuz I'm in need of a little fluff myself right now... Taehyung pulling you aside during a busy day or event to let you hide and rest for a few minutes, and give you some comfort. 🥺
(College is tiring over here, I hope you're doing well)
-🎨
ooh I hope you have a good week ahead of you! first day of the semester was today, it was pretty decent haha. Here's a college au for you, dear! my campus is super hilly (it's situated at the foot of the mountains/canyon pretty much, so it's super beautiful but also exhausting to traverse at times) so I definitely channeled some of that energy into this blurb lol, hope you enjoy! sending you lot's of loooove!
--
Your hands are full, stacks of packets and books piled hi. The biggest feat is getting out of the building without dropping it all. Huffing and puffing, you feel the emotions rising in you like a tidal wave.
"Just make it to your apartment," you mumble to yourself. Once you're in your house, then you'll let yourself go.
Just looking at the hilly campus before you
That's when you notice a familiar figure leaning up against the hood of a car. Arms crossed and a soft smile on his face, Taehyung looks like the world's cutest gangster.
"Hey," he greets softly. Almost as though he knows how stressed you are and how close you are to breaking. He rushes forward, grabbing the stack from your arms.
"Hi," you respond weakly. "Thanks."
"Hop in."
With each movement you feel a little heavier. You watch as Tae puts your things in the backseat, and ease yourself into the passenger side. Within seconds he's sliding into the driver's seat and cranking the A/C.
"Here," he hands you a smoothie from your favorite place, and you swear you feel a tear slip out then and there. "Drink up."
You do so mindlessly, eyes slipping shut as you enjoy the cool smoothie. A seat has never felt so divine, which is odd considering the fact that you've been sitting all day. You suppose there's a difference between lecture halls and leather interiors.
"Tae."
"Mm?"
"Tae, I still have to do homework. I have a whole stupid paper to write, and I'm freaking out because I'm not super familiar with the format, but I have to do it because it's literally like half the grade."
"How about..." the car slows to a stop, and you open your eyes to see that you're already outside of your apartment. "We stay in here for the next fifteen minutes. Let's just not think about school or homework or work or money, ok?"
You nod slowly, but there's still a sense of dread knowing that you have to do this assignment tonight. "Ok..."
"Hey." Looking over, you see Taehyung opening up his arms. He wears a soft smile that looks like comfort incarnate. "Let me hold you for a second."
"Just for a second?"
He fiddles with his phone, setting a timer for 15 minutes. Pulling up the calculator app, he does the math.
Also, as HTSS is coming to an end I thought I should provide you all with the final list:
Taetae:🐙/🤡.
Lambo:🐙/🤡.
Jimin: park-jimin-isnt-real.
Softboi JK: 🌼.
