Everything felt different.
Yoonmi lightly paced just outside the military base, Jimin and Jungkook’s families by her side. The boys’ moms watched her in slight amusement as she did so, but she didn’t mind. She didn’t even notice.
Her hands were clammy, and her breaths were short. Whatever it was that was happening to her was exactly why she knew she couldn’t have their first meeting be in the public press area like she had with the other members. Just the day before, she had been calm with only a small amount of nerves and a few tears peeking through.
Today, however…
It was understandable. Jimin would be coming out of the division first, then Jungkook a little later on. Jimin was the guy she was so close to that he almost adopted her into his family as his little sister if Chan’s family wouldn’t have done so.
Then there was Jungkook. Her best friend among all best friends. Her ride or die. They had spent almost every day together for years until he had to leave for the military. There was a small bit of fear in the back of her mind. Would things be different now?
“My boy,” Jimin’s mom’s voice pulled her out of her thoughts. It was a sight to see once she lifted her gaze, Jimin saluting his parents and brother before pulling them into a hug. Despite her nerves, a warm smile made its way to her face, happy to see him happy.
Then Jimin’s dad faced her, holding a hand out to her. “Well? Come over here, Yoonmi. You’re family, too.”
Her approach was hesitant, but it came to a stop as Jimin looked up and met her eyes. He flashed her a smile before straightening out and bringing his fingertips to his brow.
Just moments ago, Jimin had been a son, a brother. Now, in front of her, he stood tall as Sergeant Park Jimin, the person who had once promised to keep in touch until he eventually came back to her for real.
“Sergeant Park Jimin of the Artillery Unit within the 5th Infantry Division reporting the successful completion of his compulsory military enlistment to Bang Yoonmi, otherwise known as Kim Yoonmi.”
His stance didn’t last long. He immediately pulled her in for a hug, resting his chin on her head. Yoonmi wasted no time in hugging him back, her tears starting to fall.
“I’m home,” he whispered in a gentle sing-songy voice. “Don’t cry, aegi. It’s not like we haven’t seen each other this whole time.”
“You don’t have to go back this time.”
“I suppose you’re right,” Jimin pressed a small kiss to her temple before releasing her from the hug, a knowing smile on his face. “Now, there’s someone who I know really wants to see you.”
His gaze was fixated behind her. Yoonmi took a deep breath, knowing what he meant. She could hear the reunion with his family happening behind her.
“Yoons?”
Her breath hitched at the sound of the all-too-familiar voice. She turned around and saw him.
Jungkook was standing before her, just getting out of a hug from his brother, clad head to toe in a uniform that they both knew he wouldn’t be needing anytime soon.
“Oh my god,” she mumbled, tears falling from her eyes.
In three large strides, Jungkook had made his way over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist and lifting her up. She draped her arms around his neck, hiding her face next to it.
That’s when she knew nothing had changed. Maybe they were both more mature now with their drastically different life events in the past two years, but they were still the same best friends who met at ages 11 and 15 and grew up together.
Neither of them said anything for a while, letting their hug speak for them. She could feel the eyes of Jimin and Jungkook’s families on them, but that faded to the back of her mind as she felt something warm and wet drip on her shirt.
Jungkook gently set her down. For a moment, he didn’t speak, his hand squeezing hers just the slightest bit.
Then, he straightened.
“Sergeant Jeon Jungkook of the 5th Infantry Division reporting the successful completion of his compulsory military enlistment to Bang Yoonmi, otherwise known as Kim Yoonmi.”
“Back on 24/7, on-call best friend duty?” she asked, a small wet laugh escaping her as she wiped her tears away.
“That’s right,” he grinned, pulling her into a hug once again. “Tell Haechan to take a step back.”
She laughed, hugging him tight and extending her arm to Jimin to pull him into the hug as well.
Just like that, the Busan line was complete.
(And if they were late for the press, well, it was understandable)
(updated as of february 2024) (mentions of hangouts are all indicating before the members’ enlistments)
JIN (Kim Seokjin)
Since Yoonmi had become an adult, Seokjin had taken to treating her like an equal and rarely using his “oppa” card, which is a stark difference from when she was younger. Yes, she still goes to him for advice, and he is the one who still helps her with adult matters such as bills and taxes and lifestyle, but he also becomes a friend that she can mess around with like she’s with other friends around her age. In his mind, she still is a baby, but he understands that she’s matured, wants to be seen as more mature, and that she’d still see him as a parental figure no matter how old she gets. He likes to think this is her finally acting out since she’s always been a good kid.
Jinmi in ARMYs’ eyes: They enjoy witnessing how Seokjin always “cries” about how she’s grown so much. The shift in their dynamic was over the pandemic, and suddenly everyone could see that Yoonmi was more comfortably roughhousing with Seokjin, and he was responding more like he would to Jungkook rather than his previous shrugging off and fond smiles. Seeing them become more like similarly-aged friends really made ARMY realize how she had grown.
Iconic Moment: It was revealed through the BTS documentary on Disney+ that Yoonmi was the one who initially started cutting his hair off. She was given the shears by her stylist, and she was so hesitant while Jin just kept encouraging her with “How will I know if I look okay bald unless you start?”. So she cut his hair, only getting distracted a small bit when Yoongi and Jungkook came, then listened attentively as their stylist carefully explained what to do with the electric razor. She, with assistance from the stylist, evened out Seokjin’s shave until she stepped back, staring at him. “It looks good.” “Of course it does, look who you’re talking to”. The video cuts there, but the next of her seen in that context has teary eyes and is gripping tightly onto Yoongi’s hand.
SUGA (Min Yoongi)
Yoongi is still very much her dad, that never changed The only thing that changed over the years is how they both actually address the fact that Yoongi is her father figure, second only to her adoptive father, and on level with her adoptive brother. Even the other members sometimes address Yoongi ad “Yoonmi’s dad” at this point. Yoongi and Yoonmi remained each other’s silent comfort person, the person who takes their side and hears them out first, and the person who they can go to when they feel overwhelmed. He’s there to hold her hand when things go wrong, and she’s there to give him a hug when things don’t go as planned.
2yoon in ARMYs’ eyes: Yoongi and Yoonmi is everyone’s comfort duo. When they’re together, there’s an air of warmth and calm, so everyone feels better after a long day when they watch 2yoon content. They find Yoongi’s care and the way Yoonmi looks up to him to the point of taking after him endearing, especially knowing Yoongi is the one Yoonmi never fought after their mysterious conflict in 2018.
Iconic Moment: Yoonmi went to all three days of the D-Day Tour finale. She, of course, did her feature on ‘Seven’ for Jungkook. During the ment where he kept them with him on stage, he thanked and praised Jungkook for ‘Burn It’ and ‘Seven’ before turning to Yoonmi. “And our princess, my daughter. She has something coming out this month and surprisingly didn’t want to spoil it—” “Surprisingly?” “— so she had a special request. As you all know, our Miya did the demo vocals of one of my previous mixtapes. I got to perform this song with our vocal line, but never with our princess. Until today.” So they performed ‘So Far Away,’ and the proud look on Yoongi’s face by the end as he looked at her made every ARMY feel like their troubles all disappeared.
J-HOPE (Jung Hoseok)
Hoseok and Yoonmi treat each other like their own personal powerbanks. They could be tired, but, once they’ve spent time together, their energy levels go up. Yoonmi says that’s why she gravitates towards Hobi when drinking, because she’s usually a sleepy drunk. They like to escape together, as well, hanging out in the practice room or either of their studios where they experiment with different styles, genres, or just mess around to fuel their creativity. Of course, Hobi never stopped seeing her as his little prodigy, teaching her old school hiphop and openstyle dancing and watching her proudly while they learned new styles together.
Homi in ARMYs’ eyes: The two sunshines, that’s what they’re known as. Hobi brings in bright energy while Yoonmi makes everyone smile, making them everyone’s favorite duo to turn to when they want to laugh and get a pick-me-up. ARMYs love seeing Hobi treat Yoonmi like the little sister he’s never had but always wanted, too! Everyone knows both Hobi and his noona see Yoonmi as their youngest sibling at this point, which is why she even got Yoonmi to sing in her wedding reception.
Iconic Moment: Yoonmi vlogged her Lollapalooza experience, so some behind the scenes were uncovered there. Hoseok got Yoonmi to rehearse Chicken Noodle Soup with him while they were waiting for Becky, and the two ended up having so much fun that the band kept vamping the song, making it longer so the two could enjoy their mini cypher. “Oh, Yoona, you haven’t forgotten your basics!” “I have the best teacher!”
RM (Kim Namjoon)
It used to be just Namjoon sitting to absorb and analyze the way Yoonmi’s mind works when they’re together. Now, she does the same to him, curious about his inner thoughts. They spend a lot of their time together having deeper conversations, whether it be about life, work, music, or just their thoughts. On the other side of things, they’re both clumsy dorks who geek out over their recent reads or watches together, actively showing interest in each other’s preferences because Namjoon wants to stay as someone who understands her almost best and Yoonmi wants to stay someone he can be proud of. Especially with Yoonmi, she wants to make her leader proud of her.
Joonmi in ARMYs’ eyes: Though ARMY initially thought they were awkward, that image disappeared. ARMYs see Joonmi and see a little sister looking to her older brother for validation, and him happily giving her that validation. ARMYs also enjoy the fact that these two together can go from 0 to 100 real quick, on any end of the meter. From just having lunch they can either go to talking about their plans for the future to being stuck in a laughing fit on the floor over a plastic utensil they’ve broken.
Iconic Moment: During the live with just the five of them, Yoonmi was a lot quieter compared to how she usually is. Namjoon kept glancing at her and tapping her leg to get her to talk. At some point, he bent to whisper something to her, then, when Taehyung opened his mouth, Namjoon quickly pushed a piece of pizza there. In his efforts to do so, he knocked over three cups. He looked at Yoonmi, who was now laughing, and he just nodded at himself in satisfaction.
JIMIN (Park Jimin)
Yoonmi has not changed in Jimin’s eyes in the way that she’s still his youngest Busan Baby. Whenever she tells him she’s an adult now, he always pouts at her and goes on a spiel about how she’ll still be his baby even when they’re in their 80s and beyond that. He invites her over to his apartment a lot, or he just stays at her’s (partly because Jungkook and her niece are usually there as well) because he genuinely enjoys her company and being able to sit with her. He also takes every opportunity he can get to give her princess treatment because he believes she should always be treated like Bangtan’s princess (even though she’s trying to shake off the delicate image that had somehow formed over the years)
Minmi in ARMYs’ eyes: Minmi are both very very affectionate, with their habit of holding onto each other unknowingly. ARMYs have so many compilations of them sharing the tightest hugs or exchanging the softest forehead kisses, naming them the mythical siblings due to the way they treat each other. Everyone also loves how these two speak either in pout or in giggles, no in between!
Iconic Moment: Nobody thought Yoonmi would be able to make it to Jimin’s fanmeet due to her solo promotions, but, while he was going to take a photo with the attendees, the “staff” who came on stage removed her padded long coat, revealing Yoonmi. ARMY started cheering while Jimin’s jaw dropped, then he rushed up to hug her really tight. “Yah, how long have you been here?” “The past hour? I had this in my schedule, oppa. You didn’t think I would miss your documentary screening, did you?” “You’re really something else, aegi.”
V (Kim Taehyung)
Taehyung and Yoonmi both matured a lot more visible than the other members, so their dynamic shifted a little bit from overly-doting big brother and complying baby sister to a pair of siblings more along a similar wavelength. While they’re still quite playful and he still dotes on her, their age gap isn’t as prominent in their actions. It’s clear that they both see how each other have grown, and it’s something they like to just observe when they’re with each other. They’re proud of each other’s growth, but more proud of how they managed to keep their friendship completely intact despite both of them changing over the years.
Taemi in ARMYs’ eyes: Taehyung and Yoonmi started posting more content together, which everyone enjoyed since they used to keep their off-screen friendship mostly to themselves. Now ARMYs enjoy seeing their posts when they meet up to go to jazz clubs, have coffee, or just do anything together. ARMYs also love seeing how they shifted from over-excitable kids to more mature youths who support and take care of each other.
Iconic Moment: An ARMY saw them in a jazz club together. Allegedly, there were a few cocktails on the table, and the two of them seemed to be exchanging stories the entire time they were there, never once letting there be dead air. Apparently Tae also tried to play the saxophone and let out a really out of tune note, but Yoonmi just cheered him on. The ARMY was able to take a picture with them, saying that they were both happy to see her yet politely asked to not post anything while they were still there. She promised, and the two were said to have continued their night of stories and jazz music.
JUNGKOOK (Jeon Jungkook)
If anything can describe these two, it’s the phrase ‘ride or die’. Yoonmi and Jungkook would drop everything if the other called them and said they were in need. Almost thirteen years of friendship and growing up alongside each other really molded them into being two peas in a pod, especially since they both hit their twenties. They would see each other every other day and talk to each other at least once a day. Jungkook had gotten less overprotective (especially now that she has a boyfriend), and he has increased his role as the main mythbuster of Yoonmi’s delicate image. Yet, even with all their bickering and squabbling, they remain each other’s support systems and hypemen, connected in a way where they can work with and around each other without even needing to talk. Their friendship is further solidified by their matching tattoos (aside from the group’s matching 7 tatts) which they successfully kept between themselves for over a year. (The only people who saw these right after they got them were Mark and Namjoon. The tannies found out by accident)
Jungmi in ARMYs’ eyes: Ever since Bangtan first debuted, Jungkook and Yoonmi’s friendship has been something so many people, whether ARMY or not, have admired and set as a standard or wish for in their own best friends. ARMYs specifically love how they’re not afraid to roughhouse or bite back at each other but still have each other’s backs no matter what. Also Jungkook biased ARMY all have Yoonmi as a bias wrecker or vice verse because of the amount of content these two have and the amount of time they spend together. Everyone already knows when either of them get married Yoonmi would be Jungkook’s best man or Jungkook would be her Maid of Honor.
Iconic Moment: Jungkook hosted one of his early morning Weverse lives from her kitchen, cooking himself something to eat. At around four AM, the sound of a door opening and closing made him look to the side where he froze and smiled brightly. You hear her go, “Oppa, again? When did you get in my house?” and he just, “Three hours ago. Ramen?” “I’ll just grab some water and go back to sleep. Don’t wake Yoonseol.” And everyone was surprised. It was common knowledge that they went to each other’s apartments often, but they just revealed Jungkook goes to her place just whenever he wants because either he knows the code or has his fingerprint in her lock.
The bustling of the crowd sounded like a blur to her. All she could do was watch the last two of her members get ready for their entrance ceremony. She watched as Yoongi and Hoseok gave them some last pre-enlistment pep talks and as Seokjin approached them with a joking serious attitude before breaking into a large grin and a fit of giggles.
The internal fight of keeping a smile on her face for pictures was one of the hardest things she had done in recent times, yet she pushed herself to do it for her members. Not only was it the last of her members today, it was also her Busan boys.
“I’m gonna miss you,” she gave Jimin the tightest hug she could muster while rubbing her hand against his buzzcut. “Message me when you can. I know it’ll be at least five weeks, but send me proof of life.”
“I promise, Aegi,” he kissed the side of her head before letting go and bending down to look her in the eye. “You just keep messaging me like we agreed, okay? Everything that happens, I want to know. I’ll catch up right when I’m allowed to check my phone again. Got it?”
She nodded, lips pressed into a tight smile. He straightened himself before giving her a salute, the way he did to his family earlier. She bowed to him, muttering a thank you for looking over her and their country before she was pulled into his arms again.
“One more hug before I go,” he gave her a tight squeeze before letting her go. “I love you, my Busan baby.”
“I love you, too,” she grinned. “For the record, your haircut looks amazing on you.”
If the smallest increase of his smile came from her comment, she was proud
“Makdung-ah,” Hoseok called to her, “come wish Jungkookie good luck.”
Yoonmi took a deep breath as she slowly but steadily walked over to them. This was probably the goodbye (although temporary) that she was least ready for.
She made it to them, looking at her feet, not knowing what would happen if she met Jungkook’s eyes.
“Hey,” Jungkook laughed, “stop being a coward, and look me in the eye, Mimi.”
She rolled her eyes at him and looked at Hoseok with an accusatory expression. Hoseok simply laughed and gestured to look at Jungkook. She did, which she almost immediately regretted.
Twelve years of friendship and being by each other’s side almost every single day flew through her mind at such a rapid pace that she almost got whiplash.
This person standing in front of her has been her number one ride or die best friend for more than half her life. The longest they had been apart from each other that she could remember was two weeks, but they’d usually spend every day or every other day together for the past four years.
And there he was, getting ready to enter military camp where they wouldn’t be able to talk for a while and wouldn’t be able to freely meet each other as often for an even longer time.
She knew these thoughts weren’t just hers, his eyes were watering as well.
“Come here,” he pulled her into a hug, letting her wrap her arms around his neck while he enveloped her around her waist, lifting her up off the ground just the slightest bit.
“You take care of yourself and Jiminie oppa in there, okay?” she mumbled into his clothes, not wanting to look up because tears were threatening to escape her eyes already.
“Only if you remind Haechan that he’ll never beat me on your best friend tier even when I’m away for over a year,” he chuckled, squeezing her tight.
She laughed, though it was strained by her starting to cry, “Of course. It’s you and me, best friends in the entire universe.”
She didn’t bring attention to how she could feel warmth drip onto her neck, just under where his eyes were. It was another two minutes of them just basking in each other’s company before Seokjin approached them, tapping their shoulders.
“As much as I don’t want to do this,” Seokjin gave them an apologetic smile, “we have to separate you two babies. They have to go in now.”
The two maknaes reluctantly released each other.
Yoonmi reached up to wipe Jungkook’s already barely noticeable tears away. “Go and intimidate all those military people with your muscles and tattoos.”
“You know it,” he laughed and violently ruffled her hair, making her laugh. “I love you. See you on the other side, Mimi.”
“See you on the other side,” she smiled at him. “I love you, too.”
What would be the most touching things that Yoonmi has done for each of the members?
hmmmm let's go by age and just things off the top of my head
yoonmi was the one to cut and shave jin's hair (with the assistance of their stylist) despite her not wanting to accept what was happening and falling into an anxiety attack while she was doing so. yoonmi loves jin's long hair and would take every chance she could to decorate it or braid it. it meant so much to him that she did that because it gave him a sense of comfort and a reminder to keep himself healthy and strong so he can come back and grow his hair out for her to put her clips and bows in again
with yoongi it's just yoonmi acknowledging him as a dad figure. it meant that she put her trust in him like she did her adoptive father, and that she trusted him enough to know he wouldn't be like her biological sperm donor. he takes his role as her dad figure very seriously, and he'a absolutely honored that she goes with it and acts accordingly
with hobi it's maintaining their tradition. they used to go to the han river to do old school hiphop lessons or just to destress, then it changed to hanging out on the company rooftop when they were overwhelemed or stressed. she never let it die down, no matter how long it's been since the last time they did it. even now, she brought him to the rooftop once when he visited her on his leave
something that will forever stick to namjoon is how she once dropped everything just to go with him to a museum because his friend had cancelled on him. sure she always said she'd drop everything if they asked, but it didn't really hit him until it actually happened. she came, no complaints, dressed nicely, and 100% present in the situation physically, mentally, and emotionally. that's when he knew she would always have his back like he had hers
for jimin, it's something a lot more subtle. for a time when he unhealthily didn't really eat much for a diet, she would complain about being hungry and wanting to go out for streetfood. she'd always pick jimin to be the one to accompany her saying it's their "minmi time". he didn't even realize he was snacking with her while they laughed and talked and told stories about their day. he realized long after that period of time that, on those days, he'd sleep better, think better, and feel better
with taehyung, she was the one who got in touch with a trumpet and a violin teacher to help him with his want to learn them. no one else in the group knew how to, so she took it upon herself to look for someone who did know how to until she found the best instructor that she knew taehyung would get along with. it's something he's forever grateful for because she didn't have to, but she did
if you asked jungkook this question and it was on a day where he was up to answering seriously, he'd say continue being his friend. jungkook knows yoonmi could easily cut him off if he so much as did one thing to offend her seriously, but her patience with him, despite their multiple playfights and bickering, is so much compared to her usual level. never once did she let an argument get the best of them. she always made sure they talked it out, come to a compromise or solution, and continue being each other's other half. he can't explain it all too well, but her staying his friend is the most touching thing she's done for him in his point if view
Hi! I was wondering how would each of the BTS members describe Yoonmi’s impact on them and how she has grown over the years in an a documentary/interview?
hi! okay i love this question! im gonna touch up on this without too much detail for now though bc i think i might do something with this type of content~
jin would say yoonmi is probably the person who taught him that you get to choose the people you keep close in your life. he saw how she carefully picked her trusted friends, and those she decided to keep close stayed. even her biological birth givers were never heard from again because she chose to cut them off, and he admired her for the courage and strength she had to do that. he'd say she grew from an scared uncertain little girl to one so sure in herself and her friends that she's become very confident
yoongi realized he was capable of taking care of people as well as not judging people by their appearance at first because of yoonmi. she showed him that people are capable of whatever they want to do, like how a little girl like she was when he first met her was capable of writing and producing music and just needed a little more guidance due to age and inexperience. that's why he took her under his wing. she has been and always will be his kid, and he's just proud to say that she grew to be more sure of herself and confident while maintaining a genuinely humble mindset
yoonmi's impact on hobi is a lot more subtle, but he'd say she was like a power source for him, making him believe in his name even further. on rougher days when he wanted to just throw the towel in and go home, she would take him to the han river or to the company's rooftop and just hang out, talk, or freestyle until the spark lights up in him again, and it worked vice versa he watched her in pain for years until she bloomed and thrived. that's where he says she is now, her thriving era
with namjoon, he'd say yoonmi helped him get more in touch with the world outside himself. war of hormone was probably a big part of that, where she kinda explained to him why people may think it off and why she wrote her verse the way she did to balance it out. now he'd say he's proud to see their baby standing out when all she did when she was younger was try to blend into the background wherever she was
it's common knowledge that jimin and yoonmi helped each other with their images of themselves as well as their relationship with food (although different). he'd name her as a guardian angel, making sure he's okay. he'd not that she had a period of reflection about who she was, especially while she went on semi-hiatus to focus on her senior year, and that she was finally doing what she encouraged him to do: explore different sides of herself
taehyung would say yoonmi kinda grounded him for a time being. when things got too much or started to feel unreal, yoonmi brought him back to reality. she's like his reminder of what's going on around him. he thinks she grew more mature and comfortable with embracing different sides of maturity, something he likes to say they have in common
THE ride or die, each other's halves duo jungmi! jungkook and yoonmi grew up together, so they're already pretty similar, but he'd say that yoonmi pushed him to work harder and grow more as a person. they helped each other out a lot, and they became a source of motivation and strength for each other. he'd say that she did get more confident and mature, but he would say she's more or less the same yoonmi that he's always known similar to how he's still the same jungkook as always just a bit more mature, and that's that
Omg can we get a drabble or bulletpoint reaction of vmin dancing with yoonmi during her 18th that they celebrated & them reminiscing & kinda tearing up on how their aegi’s all grown up but yoonmi prolly be like “i’m always gonna be your aegi bc youll always be my oppa”
sure hun! i’m assuming you’ve read the start of the surprise on here, so enjoy for 95s fluff! 🥰 sorry it took so long though aksjdhf uni is driving me crazy 😭
reminder: italic conversations are spoken in english
TAGLIST: @sunflower-0180 @seaoffangirling @yourwonderbelle @1-800-enhypenbibi @kamiiyou @strwberrydinosaur @uraveragefangirlsposts @caratinylyfe @nctdream-minji @woopetals (message or send an ask if you wanna be added to the taglist/s 🥰)
“Alright, hyung. My turn.”
Yoonmi turned her head and saw Taehyung approaching her. She looked up at Yoongi who sighed and placed her hand in Taehyung’s before pressing a kids on the too of her head. “Happy birthday, Princess.”
Before she could say anything, she found herself being pulled back to the center of the stage. A laugh escaped her as she went along with Taehyung’s dancing.
“You’re growing up,” Taehyung noted.
She smiled at him. “Yes, I am. I guess this means no more Disney marathons with sugar-induced comas?”
“Like you’d ever give that up,” he laughed. “Or us, either. That’s when you eat most.”
“That’s a lie!”
The two friends laughed before falling into step with each other once more. She let her head come forward to rest on his shoulder, slowing down from the excited and flamboyant spins and twirls they started with to steady sways.
“You know,” he began, “you don’t have to give up being a kid yet. There are still groups debuting with maknaes your age.”
She snorted. “You mean like Daehwi in AB6IX? Or the maknae in Baejin oppa’s new group?”
“Exactly!”
“Oppa,” she lifted her eyes to meet his, “I think I reached the peak of my maturity when I was nine. If you’re worried I’m going to turn into a washed out adult, then you have nothing to worry about.”
He sighed in relief. “Good. Thank you, aegi, I needed to hear that before someone else steals you.”
“No one’s going to steal me.” Just as she said that, a certain Park Jimin had pulled her to himself, greeting her with a smile. “I stand corrected.”
“My turn!” The elder of the 95s was practically bouncing in his shoes. “Sorry, Taehyung, but you took way too long already.”
Taehyung just laughed and walked back to the rest of the boys who were trying her cake. Once she turned back to Jimin, she found him already looking at her. It was as if he was trying to see into her mind with how focused he seemed to be.
“Oppa,” she poked his cheek, “what’s going on in that head of yours?”
“Nothing,” he shook his head. “I guess I just realized why dads would cry in those videos of 18th birthday parties that we searched up for ideas. I just got hit with the fact that you’re growing up. You’re going to be an adult by out standards in like two weeks!”
Right. The Korean age means she adds another number to her age as soon as new year hits. She’d be 20 in Korea within the next few weeks.
“I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.”
“I knew you since you were twelve, of course it’s a big deal.” Jimin had looked down and stared at their feet while they danced. “You used to stand on my toes while we danced like this. Now, you’re in a dress and heels, perfectly dancing without my help.”
“Many things to point out here,” she laughed. “You chose my outfit, I don’t do dresses. You’re leading, which means you are technically helping me. Also, I’m heavy now!”
He scoffed at her. “Please, you’re as light as a feather. My little aegi needs some cake in her. Or am I not allowed to call you aegi now?”
The sudden solemn expression on his face tugged at her chest. Sure, Jimin would always joke around about how she was his Busan Baby since Jungkook took the title of Jimin’s Busan Boy. It never really occurred to her how seriously he took her nickname, especially since the only other person who called her aegi was the one and only Kim Taehyung who babies her arguably the most out of the boys.
“Oppa,” she gave him a reassuring smile, “don’t looks so sad. I know I’m going to be an adult soon, but I’m still your Busan Baby. And it’s not like you have to stop calling me aegi anytime soon. You are my oppa, and, since I’m your maknae, that still makes me your baby, doesn’t it? So don’t be all upset.”
Jimin just pulled her into a tight hug. “Fine. Only because my aegi says so. How about we get some cake in you?”
The smile she heard in his voice made her smile even wider. “Sure.”
Translation: Oppa, be very happy, you deserve it! Even though I’m an adult, I’ll still be your baby for as long as you want. So don’t cry LOL I love you very very much, and I hope you like my gift 💜💜💜
hey sweetie I hope that you are doing well and you’re fine.
I hope that I’m not bothering you but can we get a scenario in which Yoonmi thinks she grow up but after checking up her height she realizes that she didn’t grown at all and then the boys (especially Jimin tease her about it) ? 🥺
I just read her profile she’s very tiny ☺️ by the way I’m sorry for my poor English I am French ahah 😂
im doing pretty okay, thank you 🥰 and don’t worry about your english! it sounds great! im not exactly the best with english either aksjdhd and yes yoonmi’s tiny with a total of two growth spurts, the last one being in 2016 wings era, she never got passed 157 cm 🤧 anyway, i hope you enjoy this!
“Woah,” Jimin chuckled as he walked by her, pausing when he noticed her grin, “what’s going on?”
“Oppa, look! I got taller!”
She could see the older’s amused smile as his eyes went back and forth between her and the tape. The way that he looked at her made her feel off. Where was the proud smile? Or the head pats?
“I think you miscalculated a little, aegi,” Jimin chuckled.
She pouted but put her finger on the tape. “But look! It’s higher than the last mark!”
“It is, yes,” he gently removed the tape, “but you do know there’s a reason at least one of us has to be here with you when you measure your height, right?”
“Why’d you take it off?”
Jimin gently pushed her so her back was to the wall. He balanced a magazine from a nearby table on her head then had her step back and look. Much to her disappointment, it was at exactly the same spot where the last mark was.
“Hate to burst your bubble, but I think your growth spurts are over now.”
“This isn’t it,” she mumbled.
“I think you might have gotten a little excited,” Jimin chuckked, “and caused the tape to go up. You can’t see where your hands go when you measure yourself, aegi.”
“No, watch this.”
She took another strip of tape and aligned it to the too of her head. As slowly as she possibly could, she moved it backwards until she felt it hit the wall. True enough to Jimin’s words, her arms unconsciously went higher as she did so. She turned around and pointed towards the tape while giving Jimin a look.
He shook his head. “Your hands went up, aegi. Face it, you’re still 157cm.”
“Are you sure?”
When Jimin gave her a pointed look, she just sighed and disappointedly peeled the tape off of the wall.
“Don’t worry,” Jimin squished her cheeks. “In my heart, you’re still growing, just like my love for you.”
She gave him a hug, thankful that he wasn’t making fun of her like she knew one of the others might.
“Maybe I should call you Thumbelina from now on?”
She spoke too soon.
She could hear the sound of a phone keyboard typing stuff down. She gasped when she realized what he was doing and poked Jimin’s side to get him to release her.
“Oppa! Are you telling the others what happened?”
“Sorry, aegi. It’s too cute not to share.”
He chuckled at her pout and held his phone up when she tried to reach it to unsend the messages. That’s when she heard her best friend’s voice from down the hall.
“Measuring your height again, Mimi? You’ve got some high dreams there.”
It had begun.
With a sigh, she rested her head in her hand. Looks like she’d be hearing about how tiny she is again for the next few days.
