taejinkook angels & demons au where “you can’t choose who you love” or “i can’t help but love you” are true statement because it’s literally divine intervention. angels and demons rule love & romance in this world & live amongst humans (of course, humans are oblivious to this). angels are tasked with permanent or long term love, while demons are tasked with temporary love. they’re ordered by the council of love in the heavens & have to be precise to carry out their missions on earth perfectly so that they can retire & go back to the sky, if they want.

demon taehyung & angel jungkook are co-workers (read: besties) at a bakery. here they fulfill their tasks of making people fall in love through their pastries. they also serve regular pastries for those who don’t need falling in love. normally, angels & demons would have a hard time getting along, but taehyung is really empathetic, despite being a demon. they became instant friends when they met at the bakery, jungkook always comforting taehyung whenever he gets an assignment.
all week, jungkook had been putting subliminal messages around human seokjin’s surroundings to get him to come to the bakery. today’s the day seokjin will finally meet his permanent lover & jungkook couldn’t be happier! this is his last case before his retirement. since seokjin is one of his good human friends, he decided to try a new muffin recipe and offer those to seokjin & his near-future lover. to 3 of those muffins, he added his angel magic, and the rest were to be sold as is. 3, just in case one of the muffins dropped or something. he really didn’t want to mess this one up. he only had one shot. taehyung came into the kitchen and unknowingly took one of the love muffins to try.
“hey these are really good, could you leave the recipe for me?”
“yes, sure sure. wait a minute… did you eat my-”
his sentence was cut short when he heard the door open and the store bells ring. it was seokjin, there was no time to waste. surely, taehyung would be more careful than to eat a love muffin, right? that’s what he chooses to believe anyway.
seokjin smiles, “hey jungkook! for some reason i had the strongest urge to come here, a craving maybe? i just have a feeling you have something new in the works.”
from the kitchen, taehyung loudly announces, “jungkook made these AMAZING muffins, you just have to try them.”
“mhm, that’s right! here, have a taste!” jungkook says as he gives a love muffin to seokjin.
within just the first bite, seokjin starts to feel… really happy that he’s there. “taehyung, i’ve been meaning to ask…” jungkook feels stressed. this has never happened before. he looks over at taehyung who seems uneffected, but with the way seokjin is acting, taehyung must have eaten one of the love muffins.
taehyung quickly realizes his mistake and excuses himself before seokjin can ask any serious love-related questions.
once seokjin leaves, jungkook starts to pace back and forth, stressed.
“oh my heavens, this can’t be happening. is this reversible? there has to be a way right? how could you be so careless? seokjin’s going to fall in love with you, a demon! a human and a demon!!”
“jungkook i’m so sorry, i didn’t know you had an assignment today. i just saw new muffins and i- jungkook! what are you doing?” taehyung rushes over, grabbing jungkook’s arms to stop him.
“I’M STRESS EATING. LET ME STRESS EAT.” jungkook shouts, but unable to get out of taehyung’s grasp.
“STRESS EATING YOUR LOVE MUFFIN?” then they hear the door open, store bells ringing again. it’s seokjin.
“h-hey seokjin, what brings you here again?” jungkook manages.
seokjin looks between the two of them. “no, nothing- sorry, i forgot my phone on the counter. sorry, i’ll just get it and go” he says, sounding a little disheartened, & quickly leaving the bakery.
did they just break seokjin’s heart? seokjin who is more than deserving than anyone of a happily ever after… what are they even meant to do in this situation? the only thing they know for sure is that seokjin will fall for both of them.
they’re screwed.
