Just thinking aboooooout how in the ot7 x host!reader fic I have floating around in my brain, there are a couple things that I am sure of.
The first is that the interview would go SO well. It would start off clumsy and gentle, ya know just kind of feeling out how the boys work with the reader and amongst themselves. Then it would morph into something fun and somewhat personal, a little intense.
There would be cussing from the host, laughing from the boys. The boys playing games with the host and all ending up jumping around for joy, others falling to the ground dramatically in defeat.
There would be a moment where they visit their favorite songs, or maybe even a moment where they all pretend to behave like the interview is a slumber party scene from an 80s movie and huddle around telling secrets.
Just thinking about all these beautiful moments where the host would call on a specific member, simultaneously asking them something specific to them yet not alienating them from the group.
Talking about their music and yet having those moments where they discuss something that happened the other day or what have you.
And then I'm thinking about all the things that would come AFTER, in the middle chapters of this cute little story.
The moments before the boys have to leave the studio, they would chat some more and both groups with leave with this gentle longing.
That feeling would only be exasterbated by the compilations that show up all over social media.
There would be clips of Namjoon smiling at the host like he would one of the boys, the host laughing at something Jin said and squealing with embarrassment when they mess up their cue cards. There would be a close up of Yoongi suppressing a smile.
There would be a clip of a moment where the host leans back to admire Taehyung or Jimin right before complimenting them, only for the next clip to be their cheeky smiles or their comeback to the compliment.
Oh! And there most DEFINITELY would be whole compilations dedicated to the makeup scene, if there is one. Omg.
A clip of one of the boys being gently encouraged by the host to continue doing their makeup, even though they can *feel* the member doing it entirely wrong. The laugher they share at the end? Beautiful.
A clip of the host leaning down to brush off stray powder from Hobi's cheek, followed by another clip of the host trying not to cry when Jungkook accidentally stabs them in the eye.
These compilations would show up on Twitter and the boys would Eat Them Up. They would send them to each other and tease each other, all the while enjoying it and smiling to themselves.
The host would feel panicked at first, but soon make a post replying to one they found especially adorable.
Oh!!! And the next few times they see each other after that? Well...
It would be at bigger events, something they all got invited to but maybe don't fully know the people there or even really the person that's hosting it very well.
The first time would be at an event that was more like an obligation to them, and they would be surprised to see the host there and finally feel some relief at the fact that someone they at least knew a little would be there.
It turns out the event is more of a private one, so there wouldn't be a lot of photos taken by the paparazzi, so you guys could all get to know each other more.
That's when numbers would be exchanged and contact information would be gathered, ah! It would be cute and definitely because one of the members has a tiny little fan crush on you.
You would see them at more events and that's when the real magic would happen. You'd only get closer to them and have little moments with them, and then you'd go home and text them and things would get even better.
Before you knew it, becoming friends with them would be as smooth as butter. You'd have groupchats together, though maybe you'd be closer with some more than others, though that would change as you start meeting each other outside of events.
One night, you'd invite them all to shitty takeout dinner in your hotel room, or they'd invite you to theirs under the guise of not wanting the paparazzi to know.
But really, you all know it's because you want to be close with each other. Little touches here and there, hugs that linger and smiles that draw eyes to the lips.
Oh man, and sparks would fly! You'd flirt with them and get nervous you did the wrong thing until they would flirt back.
Ahhhh I'm thinking about the moments where you would get left alone with Yoongi, about how awkward it would be at first, but how soon you two were bonding over your love of something, anything in common.
And about the thrill of having to hide this whole relationship would make you giggle and would turn their stomachs to bubbles and butterflies.
About how you almost get caught one night, but manage to clear up the controversy.
It'll spark rumors, yes, especially with the compilations and now people noticing lingering eyes at other events.
But both sides would handle it well.
Ahhhhh yes I'm thinking about this SO much 😌 I need to hurry up and write it!!!
The first time BTS hangs out at an informal event (not their hotel room, your hotel room, or a public event- those times are quite the story themselves) it's at a party that you invite them to.
The party is at one of the houses that you rent out for when you're in town for filming. When the boys answer the video chat from you and you invite them, they are equal parts excited and nervous.
Jimin almost drops his phone when he answers and sees the outfit you have on.
Let's talk about it :)
You get the idea to call them when your friends mention wanting to know who you're texting with.
The party itsself is a kickback, only you and a handful of friends- okay, maybe more than a handful, but you can't help that. Word gets out quickly when you're in town, especially when friends you've had for years want to see you for the first time in, well... years.
Music is blaring and you're a few glasses in when you find yourself laughing at a text from Jimin, a selfie he took with Jin. He had edited Jin's face so crazy that you couldn't help the loud yell you let escape your throat when you saw it.
That sparked your friends to ask what you were looking at, who you were talking to, WHY couldn't they know who, and... well, that's how you found yourself with the *brilliant* idea to call them.
You weren't THAT drunk. Right? Right. RIGHT.
Instead of answering Jimin, you pressed on his icon and pressed the video chat option, and that's how Jimin found himself nearly dropping his phone when he answered.
Taehyung, who is sitting next to him in the car, leaned over to see what all the fuss was about and fully understood when he saw you. His jaw falls slack when you flash a smile and greet them as brightly as you normally do. As if you had no idea what you were doing to them.
It was obvious you were at some kind of party. The lighting (red, wonderful choice), the loud music, and the obvious chatter of people were enough clues. Your outfit was another.
They couldn't see much since the phone was close, but they could see enough. Your makeup was flawless and dramatic, a change from your usual subtle make up that you usually wore. You normally only wore makeup for work or events, and it was obvious that you weren't at work this late at night. They could also see that you were wearing a suit jacket with nothing on underneath it, something that made Jungkook's eyes widen when he noticed (he leaned over when he heard your voice, of course).
Namjoon's neck almost snapped with how quickly he turned around, not because he had heard your voice- although he HAD glanced back when you first said hello. It was because Jimin had asked to see your outfit, a question that had Namjoon arching a brow.
You didn't think anything of it, and in fact were proud of your outfit, smiling at Jimin's cute request. You moved to a different room, the bathroom, and fixed your phone to sit on the counter. When you backed up and showed them your full outfit, you couldn't help but feel elated by the gasps the boys let out.
Your outfit was simple, really. So Jimin didn't know why it was affecting him so much. It was an oversized suit jacket that had only one button done, the rest left open and displaying your beautiful skin. It was buttoned right below your cleavage which was on full display, and which left your navel exposed. Jimin almost choked at the sight of your belly-button piercing and the hints of tattoos that disappeared under the blazer.
Jungkook was busy taking in the sight of the pleated skirt you wore under the suit jacket, a perfect match for the over-sized look of the jacket. Paired with the fishnets and chunky platform boots you wore? If he was Yoongi, he would be a complete goner.
(Yoongi WAS a goner when he saw you later on, Jungkook would relish in having guessed that much.)
Jin and Hoseok both looked to Namjoon when they heard you plead for them to come to the party. They listened to you talk about how missed them, how you all hadn't seen each other in soooo long ("SOOOOOO long, Jimin," you would whine, a beautiful pout adorning your lips).
The boys would look to their leader in question. Namjoon would be taken aback by the pouts and puppy-dog eyes.
And THAT is how they found themselves standing on your front porch an hour and half later, all wearing bucket hats/beanies, hoodies, and masks to hide their appearance. You had reassured them that it was only close friends, nobody that would tell the public about them visiting. Even so, they were taking precaution.
Hoseok didn't even have time to knock when someone opens the door. It's not you, but it's someone that recognize from photos you have shown them. The woman let's them in easily and the boys let out a sigh of relief at the fact that she doesn't seem to care who they are.
They are once again stressed whenever they find you in the living room, swaying and dancing with the music. They would all stop in the doorway to watch, unsure of what to do next. Head empty type shit. Jin is the first to walk up to you after making a comment about the boys being shy.
What they didn't know, though, ks that you've gotten significantly more tipsy since you called them. In fact, you had nearly forgotten that you HAD called them. You were busy taking shots and pouring yourself yet another drink, and then promptly dragged to the living room where you have been dancing for who knows how long.
You're lost in your head, the music (the bass you can feel vibrating in your chest, that kind of music), and the sounds of people when you get pulled out by a tap on your arm. You let out a scream when you turn and realize it's Jin, quickly jumping up and wrapping your arms around his neck.
The rest of the boys watch as you hug him, barely able to hear your yells of excitement over the music. They notice Jin stumbling over his own words as he hugs you back, letting you go when you finally notice the other boys standing awkwardly in the doorway.
You run over to the first member you can reach who just so happens to be Namjoon. You quickly give him a hug before pulling back, getting on your tip toes, and kissing him on both of his cheeks in welcome. It takes everything in you not to squeal when his dimples make an appearance.
The members used to get flustered when you would greet them this way, and they still tend to feel affected in some way (though they're ignoring it for now), but they've grown used to it since the beginning of your friendship. You move on to greet the rest of the boys the same way, giggling when Taehyung does the same to you. The softness of his lips against your cheek doesn't go unnoticed by you.
It takes no time at all for you eight to be in your own little world, and you find yourself whining when your friends say they're leaving. You barely noticed the time passing, occupied with arguing about something silly with Hoseok when your friends walk up.
Pretty soon, it's just you and the boys. You've turned the music down and taken a seat next to Yoongi, watching the other members take their own seats.
As the night moves on and the boys suggest playing game after game (Jungkook no doubt winning at Uno a million times), you find yourself facing a dilemma.
"Y/N?" Jimin would ask, a playful smirk on his lips. You wish you could blame the flirty tone of his voice on the drink in his hand, but you know it's just him.
It seems that at some point, the boys decided it would be a *great* idea to play truth or dare. And in your toasted state, you agreed that this was a *wonderful* idea.
You wouldn't notice the way Yoongi's eyes fell to your lips when you bit the bottom one. Just like you wouldn't notice how his arm had moved to rest across your shoulders, or when your leg had moved to be draped across Jin's leg to your left.
"Mmm... I'm goin with truth! I don't trust you not to dare me to do something crazy." You would squint your eyes at Jimin in a playful manner, smiling when he laughs.
It would take him a second to think about what he wants to ask. He would notice this trend the last few rounds. If it was you asking, the boys would choose dare. They wanted you to dare them to do something interesting, something... more. But if it was the boys asking, you would choose truth. Jimin couldn't decide if this was because you were not on the same page as them, or if it was because you weren't sure if they wanted to cross that line.
Jimin claps his hands together when he finally thinks of what to ask, drawing your attention away from your drink and back to him.
"What is something....that you will never tell us?"
You laugh at the question, a sound like music to their ears.
"Really? Well.. I mean, if I tell you then it won't be something I'll NEVER tell you, huh?"
The two of you would start to playfully argue, as per usual. And you wouldn't know when, but you'd stop responding to him because you would get distracted.
His lips. You stare at them, falling silent. You know he's saying something because his lips are moving, but you wouldn't be able to stop yourself from staring, even when they slip into a smirk.
"Y/N?"
You snap out of your daze, turning to look at Jin who is giving you a look of concern. And who also happens to be so, so close to you. And ALSO also has his hand on your thigh that is resting on his own thigh.
And who also has lips. Big, beautiful lips. Attached to someone so kind and funny and genuine. Lips that look like petals, that look so soft and plump and-
You wouldn't think before crashing your lips into his, your hands coming up to pull him closer by his shirt.
Your brain would be sent into a frenzy when you felt him kiss you back.
The first time you hang out with BTS outside of a public event just so happens to be the first time you kiss one of them. And then another. And another. And, well, all of BTS. 💖
Mmmmm but what if I went stupid went crazyyyyy and posted about when the host!reader drunkenly invites the boys to an party?
And the boys show up fully prepared to go in incognito mode the entire night, only to find that it's just the reader and a few of their friends who are already on their way out?
So it's just the boys and drunk you chilling and dancing and playing games at one of your houses you rent when you're in town working on something.
And maybe the games slowly turn into lingering touches and legs thrown over laps and slow, languid kissing and-
Yeah its an lot. I'm gonna make a post about it. It's tooth rotting sweetness, babyyyyy.
Does anyone want to hear about the first time the boys hang out with host!reader in my host au??? I'm thinking about it SO much because I've kind of left that part for last to figure out, I want it to be perfect.
Or maybe! Does anyone wanna hear about mafia!reader's first experience with heats and ruts from the boys, specifically Jimin's heat? I'm also thinking about THIS so much! I've almost got it entirely planned out in my head 👁👁
