#a map of mrs kims
Hi, everyone! As you all know, I’m building this fic as we go, based on your input, so I wanted to share some quick AMOMK updates that I’m really excited about! I’ve numbered them, so if there ones in the future, you can follow along!
THE STARTER PACKS
Have you seen random posts and thought, “What isthis???”
Well,A Map of Mrs. Kims is a project that I started last year based on this beautiful anon ask! That ask began a short story that I wrote about Jin, Namjoon, and Taehyung, who are brothers visiting their father, Jihu/Mr. Kim, and mother, Bongseon/Mrs. Kim for their usual weekly, Sunday dinner. And every week, during their usual Sunday dinner, Mrs. Kim brings out her map, a list and infographic of the top bachelorettes in the city that have gone through her rigorous application process to date one of the Kim brothers! Mrs. Kim’s main goal is to find three Mrs. Kims of their very own — but Jin, Namjoon, and Tae have other plans!
Over the last year, that short story has grown into an entire universe, filled with over 300 drabbles and asks (wild, wild), a planned longfic that will be updated monthly throughout 2022 (apologies for already being behind lol), the birth of two apparently extremelystrong ships (Bongseon x Jihu, and Sad Girl x Namjoon!), the election of Mayor Paint & Simp Anon (who is also in the running), a website that is currently being beta tested , and even a potential spin-off (Yoongi / Work Wife Yoongles is somewhere out there, sweating)???
And now, some supplemental materials!
First, here are some starter packs!
The Official AMOMK Starter Pack: more info about the story and some key, selected drabbles to give you context!
The Official Sad Girl Starter Pack: more info on what a Sad Girl is (i.e., the trope/characterization, its origins in media, and its relevance to AMOMK), plus the main drabbles to give you backstory!
THE MAP
Check out Bongseon’s map masterpost as we go to get more details about each bachelorette, as well as Bongseon’s notes about them! (It’ll always be kept under the READ MORE / KEEP READING cut if you want to avoid spoilers!) Thanks @shyfoxarbiter16 for the suggestion, way back when we first started this journey!
THE STORY
I experimented with Bachelorette drabbles for the first section, NORTH, but to simplify, the dates are now being folded into the chapters! I talk about why I’m doing this here!
Chapter 02 has been slightly rewritten to incorporate this changes, but nothing has really structurally changed other than POV. And the Bachelorette drabble is now in the Extras section of the fic masterpost. If there’s inspiration or a strong demand for Y/N POV drabbles in each section, I’ll be happy to throw some treats as we go!
I am writing this story because it’s a really fun premise, and I’m seemingly infinitely inspired by this world, but most of all, it’s my gift to ARMY — this fanfiction bubble has been incredibly gracious and wonderful to me, and you all are so, so creative with your headcanons that you contribute so frequently, and with such care, love, and depth!
You’ve shared everything, from fodder, to questions, to critiques, to deeply personal stories that have such a humbling and celebrated thread of humanity through them. I know I say this every time, but any time you reach out to tell me that something the boys did reminds you of their AMOMK characterizations, or when something in your own lives makes you think about the Kims, my heart absolutely soars.
Thanks for sharing, and for being so down to come along with me on this experiment! All of these links will also be updated on the fic masterpost shortly! Eager to hear what you think — always so happy whenever you stop by the AMOMK universe!

Bachelorettes:
1. Cho Gyeong ❤️
Investment banker. Wants 3 kids. Seems to be a kind if slightly awkward girl. Very astute. She and Namjoon would have really bright, accomplished kids. Not sure if Namjoon will appreciate her characteristics right from the get-go, though.
2. Lee Kamou ❤️
Bank teller. Wants 4 kids. Jin would have fun with this one for sure. Reminds me a little of that one co-worker he has. She seems like she’s holding something back whenever she talks? Not sure if she’s shy about something, or reticent to share something. Should investigate further.

Hmm. I guess… Notes to be added? Though I don’t really see the point, given that this is just a favor.

@ultimatenoona Ahhh I’m so glad to hear from you! Thank you for reading along with me! I can’t tag you for some reason so I really hope this finds you!!
OK so after Bongseon x Jihu, Sad Girl is the character that gets the most love haha! So, in addition to the AMOMK Starter Pack for anyone who wants to jump in and learn more about the project backstory, I’ll be sharing some other supplemental materials in the next few mins!
Hope you find these fun little treats to be interesting and sweet, but also, I hope they show just how collaborative this project is! It’s been nearly a YEAR in the making, and you all have contributed so much. At this point, I’m really just trying to capture, connect, and share the awesomeness! I haven’t really done this with a fic before, and I hope you enjoy!
Alrighty, back to our dear Sad Girl! There is so much, but here are some selected drabbles to give context!
