you’re like a dream
When Jungkook’s gaze fell back onto his face, Taehyung was looking at him with an expression that he couldn’t place— lips upturned as though he was holding back a warm smile, eyes warm and inviting, drawing him in.
A sudden, strange feeling came up from Jungkook’s chest that said, I want to marry him. His heart raced. He almost said it out loud, but stopped himself. He was being ridiculous. They had only known each other for a few hours, and Jungkook was going home to Korea soon; there was nothing long-term about this, as much as he wanted to pretend that there was. Was it possible that Taehyung felt this strange intensity, too? Maybe, he thought; that look on his face certainly said something.
“Jeon Jungkook,” Taehyung said. It wasn’t an address, or a greeting; it was just his name, infused with something warm and electrifying.

when you’re in love all the lines get blurredbyjflawless – Jimin isn’t sure what possessed him to lie to his mother and tell her that he had a boyfriend, but now that he’s opened the position, he has no choice but to fill it. Yoongi is, apparently, his only option.

jikook | by changmii | genderbending & fake dating au | 1/3 chapters
“Excuse me if this is too forward,” Hoseok said, “but you two are such a cute couple.”
Jungkook’s mouth dropped open in surprise. “W-wait, no, we’re not—why would you even think—?“ she stammered, face growing hot even as Jimin giggled, unaffected.
“Oh,” Hoseok said in surprise. “I’m sorry, it just looked like—“
Jungkook looked down at their hands which were still clasped together on the table. Oh. She withdrew hers quickly.
“Don’t worry,” Jimin said, still grinning. “We get that a lot.”
Jungkook just wants to ward off that creepy guy at work. And kiss Jimin. She may have found a way to do both, but when her feelings are added into the mix things get a lot more complicated.
