After a failed attempt at working on homework together, Jimin and you are now at his friend Jin’s apartment! Along with Taehyung and Jungkook of course. And one more friend you were about to meet.
“Did you bring it?” Jungkook asks you right when you enter the door. You nod, walking up to him and handing him his switch. “Thank youuu~” He says, immediately sinking into the couch next to Taehyung.
“Hi!” You hear someone say excitedly behind you. “I’m Hobi,” he says, already leaning in for a hug.
“Hi, I’m Yn,” you say, giggling.
“Yn!” Jin yells from the kitchen. “Are you hungry?” You peek behind Hobi and smile at Jin.
“Yes,” you say. Jungkook taps your leg with his foot.
“Sit next to me,” he says. You turn around, flopping down next to him. “How was the study sesh?”
“Well I spent half of it on my phone and so Jimin scolded me a lot,” you tell him, resting your head on his shoulder. You watch the television as Jungkook and Taehyung play Mario kart.
“She’s very stubborn,” Jimin says, pointing at you. Jungkook laughs, nodding in agreement.
“I just, really don’t like math,” you say. “… anymore.”
“You’re majoring in architecture,” Jimin says.
“Okay, and?” you answer back.
“I like her,” Hobi says, smiling at you before walking to the kitchen to help Jin. Your eyes follow him and you see Jin putting meat on a chopping board.
“WOAH. You’re cooking all that? For lunch?” You say, immediately getting up and following Hobi. Jimin passes by you and takes your spot on the couch.
“Yeah, why? Are you not as hungry?” Jin answers. You put your hand over your mouth in awe, not knowing he was a good cook.
I mean, you’re assuming he is by the way he was prepping everything.
You take out your phone and take a picture of him. He looks at you surprised.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
“This makes you even hotter,” you say, snapping another picture. He laughs, getting embarrassed. He then raises his hand to hide his face from the camera. “I’m posting this on twitter,” you say, leaning over the counter.
“So nothing changed?” Taehyung asks, screaming right after Jungkook passed him in the game.
“Between me and Yn?” Jungkook asks, leaning forward and keeping his eyes locked on the screen. “Are you trying to distract me? I’m not going to let you win.”
“Of course not, but yes between you two.” Jimin turns to the two, looking back and forth between Jungkook and Taehyung.
“Wait, do you…” Jimin says, turning to Jungkook.
“Have feelings for Yn?” Jungkook says, “yeah.” Jimin nods.
“Yeah and he needs help with winning her heart,” Taehyung says. “Oh– OH!” He yells, slowly standing up as he passes Jungkook and crosses the finish line. “YES! WOO!”
“Oh,” Jimin says. “Does she know? Or..”
“Yeah… I told her last night after you dropped her off,” Jungkook says, sighing as he puts the switch down.
“Why do you look like that?” Taehyung says, looking at Jimin and furrowing his brows. “Don’t tell me you like her too.” Jungkook looks up and stares at Taehyung for a few seconds before turning to Jimin.
“Oh. It’s okay if you do. She doesn’t like me back anyways. I’m sure you two would hit it off,” Jungkook says, smiling at Jimin before standing up and going to where you were.
Taehyung punches Jimin’s arm, making him flinch.
“Ow,” Jimin says, rubbing his arm as he frowns at his best friend.
“You can’t like her,” Taehyung says. “That’s against the rules.”
“What rules?”
“The bro code! You can’t like another bro’s crush,” Taehyung explains. “That will ruin our friendship.”
“Yeah, I know, I won’t don’t worry,” Jimin says, turning to you. “I like her, but not in that way.”
“Then why did you react the way you did?” Jimin shrugs.
“I was just surprised I guess. I didn’t think any of them had feelings for each other. I was just thinking about how I probably made Jungkook uncomfortable when I’m around.”
“Is it because you’re really touchy around people you like,” Taehyung says, looking down at Jimin’s foot that is now on his lap.
“Yeah, I was literally holding her hand when he came up to us last night when I was dropping her off,” Jimin says, dropping his head on the couch. “I must’ve given him the wrong impression.. I have to tell him I don’t like her like that.”
“Wait, did you guys get the ice cream?” Hobi suddenly asks, looking at you with a worried expression. You felt your cheeks suddenly heat up.
“We forgot,” you whisper. “I’m sorry.” Jungkook laughs at you, shaking his head. Your eyes were big and your cheeks were noticeably more pink.
Hobi smiles at you, shaking his head. “It’s okay, we’ll just get some right now.” He then walks to the living room where the two boys were at and grabs his wallet and keys that were on the coffee table.
“Come, let’s buy ice cream,” Hobi says, gesturing for you and Jungkook. You and Jungkook were about to follow the older one when Jimin yelled.
“Jungkook!” The two of you froze and turned to him with both of your eyebrows raised. “Sorry,” Jimin says with a small laugh. “Yn, you can go with Hobi hyung, Jungkook, stay.”
Jungkook looks at you and you nod.
“He said stay Jungkook, be a good boy and listen to your hyung,” you joke, pushing him towards the boys on the couch. Jungkook glares at you as he walks towards Jimin.
“See you guys later,” you yell, walking out with Hobi.
“And again, I’m cooking alone,” Jin mumbles to himself, looking at the half chopped vegetables that Hoseok was helping with.
“I’ll help hyung,” Taehyung says, standing up and running next to Jin.
“I don’t like Yn,” Jimin says, loud enough for Jin to hear from the kitchen. Not that the kitchen was far from the living room. Actually, the only thing that separated the kitchen from the living room was the kitchen counter.
“You don’t like her?” Jin asks. “Why not? I think she’s great. She’s funny, she’s sweet, and she tells me that I’m good looking.” Jin finished it off by winking at Jimin. Taehyung laughs beside him.
“Yeah you’re right, she is funny. I think that last part that you just said was her best joke.” Jin turns and glares at the younger boy.
“Keep chopping those carrots.”
“No, not like that. I like her, she’s great. I meant that I don’t like her in a romantic way,” Jimin explains. “It might’ve come off wrong, I don’t want you to think I was trying to hit on her or anything. I’m sorry if it did look like it.” Jungkook shakes his head.
“No, it’s okay, don’t worry about it. If you do ever grow feelings for her, don’t let me stop you. I just want the best for her.”
Taehyung quirks an eyebrow at the two. He scoffs, rolling his eyes.
“Jungkook, you’re too nice! Stop that, go fight for your girl!” He yells, holding the knife up. Jin’s eyes widens as he reaches around Taehyung and slowly brings his arm down.
“That’s enough of you in this kitchen, go sit down, thank you,” he says, pushing the younger boy away.
“Anyways,” Jin says. “Can someone explain to me what’s going on? What am I watching here?”
“Jungkook likes Yn. Jimin likes Yn as a friend but you know how Jimin is with his friends. He’s very touchy,” Taehyung explains while he walks to the couch. “Jimin found out like ten minutes ago that Jungkook has feelings for Yn and felt bad that Jungkook might’ve thought that he was trying to flirt with his crush because he was caught holding her hand last night, but really, Jimin was just being Jimin. And so Jimin is explaining to Jungkook that he only likes Yn as a friend. But Jungkook is too nice and is saying it’s okay if he does end up liking her in the future. Because he confessed to Yn last night and Yn didn’t feel the same way. He says that he just wants her to be happy so if Jimin is the one that can do that, then he’s okay with it. Even if it breaks his little heart.”
Jungkook blinks at Taehyung and Jimin laughs at the newbie.
“Taehyung’s favorite pastime is being a hopeless romantic. He lives for these moments. He really wants you to be the one that makes Yn happy.”
“Ooh, so the little one doesn’t know what to do with his feelings now does he?” Jin says.
“Yeah, I don’t. I didn’t really know what it would be like if I ever did confess to her,” Jungkook says. “It was either we ended up together, stayed friends, or stopped being friends.” He shrugs, “I was always scared it would be the last one so I never did it. But now that I did and we’re just friends… I don’t know how to get rid of the feelings right away.”
“You can’t just get rid of feelings after having them for so long– assuming you have liked her for a while,” Jin says. Taehyung nods.
“Since high school,” he answered for Jungkook.
“Then don’t give up. I’m sure if she stayed with you for this long, she’s bound to have some feelings,” Jin says.
“Okay, but, and I’m just playing the devil’s advocate here,” Jimin says. “I’m seriously rooting for you two. But let’s just say, what if she doesn’t?” He says, crossing his arms and looking back and forth between the three guys. “A guy and a girl can be friends. It’s happened before.”
“That’s true,” Jungkook says. “For anything, I could just be a brother to her.” Taehyung winces at the thought.
“Jungkook, you two have so much potential,” Jin says. “I’m sure she’ll end up falling for you eventually. Now that she knows that you like her, it’s in her head. She’ll notice all the little things you do with her and she’ll start to realize that she actually wants to be with you. Trust me.”
“But what if she doesn’t,” Jimin says, resting his head on his hand.
“Are you sure you don’t like her?” Taehyung says. He pushes Jimin slightly. “Who’s side are you on?”
“Okay, I’ll stop, I’m sorry. Hyung?”
“Okay, okay,” Jin says, wiping his hands on a towel. “So this is what you’ll do.”

a/n: i’m going to say this now before anyone comes at me in the future LOL but guys and girls can be friends without any romantic feelings!! for the sake of this au and my hopeless romantic self, that isn’t going to apply in my bts ff universe okay :) lol at least for the two main characters
It was 8 in the morning and you were, for the most part, awake and in a cafe. This time with Jimin and you two were doing math homework together.
Yes, math on a Saturday morning. It was so shocking to you that you had to tweet it.
Okay, you didn’t have to, but you needed an excuse to get on your phone because this was getting boring.
You snap a quick picture of Jimin with your books and work on the table, quickly typing up a caption and posting the tweet. Replying to yourself right under it.
Jimin looks up and sees you smiling down at your phone. Glancing at your screen, he sees that you’re on twitter. He quickly pulls out his phone and finds your tweet, smiling at himself as he comments on your post to catch your attention.
Right when his comment pops up, you look up and glare at him. And all he does is just smile sweetly at you before popping one earphone in his ear and going back to his work book.
You sigh, putting your phone down. You grab your pencil again and tap it on the table as you read the next problem on your worksheet.
You blink at it for a few seconds before glancing up at Jimin. He’s focused on his own work so you quickly grab your phone and slip it underneath the table.
You text Jungkook.
–
Jungkook was currently with Taehyung and his friends. Which quickly became his friends as well. Seokjin and Hoseok aka Jin hyung and Hobi hyung.
The four were walking up to Jin’s apartment when Jungkook’s phone dinged three times in a row.
“Woah, who’s texting you so much?” Hobi asks Jungkook as he takes his phone out of his pocket. Jungkook looks at his screen and smiles when he sees that it’s you and that you’re looking for him and want to hang out. Even though you told him that you were spending the morning with Jimin.
“Is it Yn?” Taehyung asks. “Can I text her back?” Jungkook furrows his brows.
“What are you going to say?” He asks, handing him the phone anyways. The other two boys gather around Taehyung as he types a response. Even taking a quick picture to send to you.
“Here,” Taehyung says, handing Jungkook back the phone. “I’m going to make us six a groupchat.”
Jungkook takes his phone back, reading through the responses Taehyung wrote to you. He laughs at them and smiles when you text again, asking for him.
“Welcome to my apartment,” Jin says, opening the door and letting the boys in. Jungkook looked around in awe.
Jin’s the oldest out of the 4 of them and everyone else still lived in dorms so it was cool that he lives in an apartment of his own.
He also had a lot of cool toys and gadgets lying around.
“Make yourself comfortable,” Jin says, patting Jungkook’s back. The other two were already laying on his couch.
“Come sit over here Jungkookah,” Hobi calls, patting the seat next to him.
Jungkook follows his new hyung and sits next to him before replying to your messages. He couldn’t help but smile at your replies but it disappears when you say that you had to go.
–
Jimin catches you on your phone once again and scolds you for not doing your work.
“You should put your messages on “Do not disturb” so you don’t get distracted by any messages.” He said. “I always keep mine on it because my friends like to spam on our groupchat.”
“Okay, I’m sorry, but let me just post something real quick,” you say, holding up a finger to him. Jimin laughs shaking his head.
“Yn, I thought you wanted to do our work together so that you can focus and have someone to hold you accountable,” he says. You smile at him sheepishly.
“I know I know, I’m sorry. Studying or doing work in general is just so hard for me. Especially if it’s a subject I don’t particularly like.”
“I understand, I’m the same with History. You just need to be more strict with yourself, let’s just keep working for a few more minutes and we can call it a day.” You nod, about to put your phone away when Taehyung’s replies pops up.
“Oh, Taehyung messaged me,” you say. Jimin sighs, dropping his head. He nods and closes his workbook and you look up at him confused.
“Wait, why are you packing up?”
“It’s Taehyung, you won’t get anything done now for sure,” he says.
“So I guess we have mutual friends now huh,” Jimin says as you two walk out of the cafe together.
“I guess so,” you say. “Guess we’ll be spending more time together.”
“Great,” he says, smiling at you with those darn moon eyes. You quickly slap your cheeks to hide the blush and he laughs, putting his arm around your shoulders as he walks you to his car.

“Why did you call me here?”
The tone is apathetic as nimble fingers swirl the straw of an iced macchiato.
“Because I need closure.”
Su Ji’s brows quirked up—the straw no longer keeping her attention.
“I just want to know if there’s really no chance for us. I’m probably the most pathetic man in the universe for wanting you back after everything, but I can’t help it. I can’t help that I’m still in love with you.”
She takes a deep breath, heart heavy at the confrontation.
“Look, Tae, I did love you when we were together. I loved all the extravagant dates, all the gifts you’d give, and I loved being Kim Taehyung’s girlfriend—genuinely. But now…it’s different. And you know it is. I have a reputation to protect, both my own and my family’s. I can’t love you if it costs me everything. We both have to move on.”
The confession has the opposite effect of closure: it only confuses Taehyung more.
“You say that, but you’re not moving on either. All those Instagram captions and showing up at my place when one of your friends could have easily picked up that necklace for you! I’ve dated you for seven months, Su Ji. I knowyou. When you don’t want to see someone, you go out of your way to avoid them. So, why isn’t it the same for me?”
Su-Ji gulps, her cold drink doing nothing to ease her ex’s burning gaze. After an anxiously long silence, her shoulders droop and the stoic façade comes crumbling down.
“Okay, fuck, you’re right. I’m not over you! I miss us. I miss you, okay? I’ve been a bitch because I’m fucking bitter. I’m bitter that I can’t be with you anymore. I’m bitter that your parents were stupid enough to lose your fortune. I’m bitter all the time, and I hate you for making me this way!”
Taehyung didn’t expect to lose his cool today, but even Su Ji admitting to missing him couldn’t soothe the anger bubbling in his chest.
“Don’t fucking speak on my parents,” he bites, “and am I supposed to feel bad for you? I’m sosorry me losing everything was inconveniencing you so much! How shitty of me!”
He stands up and darts out of the stuffy café, not giving her a chance to retort.
___
Su Ji’s words ring through his head for the rest of the day, making any task nearly impossible. He stays in his bed for hours, tossing and turning in restlessness. His stomach growls louder and louder by the minute, but he has neither the energy nor the appetite to do something about it. He’s relieved that Jimin’s coming home late tonight, too busy cramming at the library for an exam. The last thing he wants is pity, even if it is from Jimin.
His muscles feel tight and his head aches as he rolls into a different position for the hundredth time. He wishes he could just fall asleep.
His relentless tries to trick his brain into sleep is interrupted by his phone’s vibration. It’s you. He’s too tied to talk but picks up regardless.
“Hey, just called to push back our dinner date today. I have a thing I need to handle so let’s meet up at 7:30 instead of 7.”
Oh shit.
He had completely forgotten his plans with you.
“Yeah, that works” he croaks out.
“See you then.”
He clutches the phone to his chest as you hang up. With his current state, he’s not sure he’ll be good company for anyone, and the last thing he wants to do is leave his warm, comfy bed. If it was anyone else, he’d cancel, but this is his job. He knows you’d let him raincheck if he asked—you were kind like that. However, it would only irritate him more if he couldn’t even do his job properly: you were already doing so much for him, the least he could do is control his emotions long enough to give you a nice dinner.
___
At 7:29 he’s at your place, sitting across from you with a Michelin star meal in front of him. The dinner starts out relatively fine, with him putting in his best efforts to keep up with conversation and force a smile every couple of minutes. His stiffness doesn’t go by unnoticed, though. But you’re not one to prod.
It’s when the responses become three words max and the smiles don’t come at all that you become worried. You look over at his barely touched plate with a scowl.
“Are you not feeling well?”
He internally curses himself for being too obvious. He doesn’t know where his next words come from.
“I wish I was more like you.”
You watch him carefully, waiting to see where he’s going.
“Y’know, I used to feel bad for you when you told me why you started this” he motions between your two bodies, “I thought it must suck to see everything as business. But now, now I envy your perspective. I wish I could only see things that way. I wish a breakup was just some bad investment I could shrug off. It would hurt a lot less.”
He feels the tears prickle his cheeks as each word escapes him.
You still don’t speak. The expression on your face is unreadable, and the unease in the air is what snaps him back to where he is and what he’s supposed to be doing.
“I—fuck—I’m so sorry Y/N. I ruined your night, didn’t I?”
More apologizes fall from his lips as he takes a dining napkin and wipes his tears away.
“Taehyung, it’s fine.”
Your voice is firm yet gentle, and he still doesn’t know if you mean it or not. Only when you reach out to hold one of his hands does he feel a tiny bit of relief.
“It’s not fine. I know how stressed you get at work and how this is probably your only time to relax. It’s selfish of me to make it about myself. I’m so sorry.”
You regret not reassuring him right away. You wanted to, but you’ve never really comforted anyone before. Usually, money did the comforting for you, but this was not one of those situations. As much as you want to treat this as any other business relationship, it’s becoming more and more difficult to do so. And that terrifies you.
You shake your head to empty those thoughts. It’s not about you right now. You have to try, for him.
“Hey, it’s not selfish. Everyone has bad days.” your hand squeezes his tighter, “Whatever happened with that girl clearly has you out of it, yet you tried your best to be present with me. I appreciate that, honestly. But in the future, please put your health, whether physical or mental, first.”
He looks at you with those big brown, teary eyes and slowly nods. You notice his grip on your hand tightening as well.
You reluctantly let go, though. Opting to stand up and grab him a glass of water to replace the wine on the table.
He takes a few sips and regains composure, breath steadying.
“Can I please stay here for the night? In one of your guest rooms? I just don’t want to risk seeing Jimin today. He’ll want me to tell him what happened, and I don’t think I can do that tonight.”
You mentally applaud yourself for not asking the details—at least you’ve done one thing right.
“Of course. You can pick any guest room.”
___
You knock on the room he chose, hands equipped with clean towels and clothes. He lets you in, looking in no better state than before.
“Here’s a towel, and here’s some clean clothes that might fit you.”
He looks down at the clothes, most likely remnants of past hookups. He’s too grateful to dwell on that for too long, though.
“Thank you” he musters a tiny smile.
He expects you to turn on your toes and exit, but instead, you stand in the room lost in thought.
“Hey Tae?”
“Yeah?”
“Can I do something for you?”
He looks down nervously, not in any state to do something sexual—even if he was receiving.
“It’s not sexual” you quickly add, noticing the gears in his head turning.
“What is it?”
“It’s something that’ll help you relax. I just need you to trust me. Can you do that?”
He nods, needing anything he can get to not feel the way he does right now.
You smile and guide him to sit on the bed. “Stay here until I come get you.”
And then you disappear into the bathroom. Taehyung hears the water running for a good amount of time before it’s silent. You stand at the doorway and offer him a hand.
Entering the bathroom, it’s evident what you were doing. The bathtub is filled with bubbles and surrounded with lavender scented candles.
You gently tug at his shirt, taking it off his body. You reach for his pants next. He doesn’t question it and lets you do whatever you want, trusting that you won’t use this opportunity to take advantage of him. You said it wasn’t sexual, and that’s enough for him to believe you. It also helps that your gaze isn’t lustful, not even when you help him out of his boxers. There’s no eyeing him down or lingering on certainbody parts, just undressing as carefully as you can.
You lead him into the tub, making sure there’s ample bubbles to cover his body. He’s expecting you to undress and get in, but you don’t. Instead, you stay out of the tub and make your way behind him. The second your palms touch his scalp, the boy melts in your hands. You lather on the shampoo, massaging every inch of his brown locks. He leans all the way into your touch, reveling in the euphoria. Every movement of your fingertips makes him forget little by little of the day he’s had. His muscles relax under the warm water, feeling comfort amongst the scent of lavender.
Your touches, however amazing they feel, are nothing but platonic. You don’t push or nudge anything farther than washing his hair. That’s not what this is about.
You had watched something like this in a movie, years ago. Craved to be touched like that ever since. But none of your attempts at dating had given you courage to ask for something so intimate yet so platonic.
Even though it’s not you on the receiving end right now, you’re glad you can provide this for someone else. Especially someone so deserving.
After half an hour and a good hair rinse, you help the half-asleep man out of the tub, dried, and into a robe. He doesn’t say a word, just molds into whatever position you put him in and waits. The sleepiness is only enhanced when the blow dryer turns on.
“Goodnight Tae. I’ll be in my room if you need anything” you whisper while guiding him to his bed. Taehyung, however, refuses to let you go. He presses your warm body against his and nuzzles into your neck. It seems that a sleepy Taehyung is a clingy Taehyung, you muse to yourself.
“Stay with me tonight. Please. You’re so warm.”
His soft plead is enough to break any resolve you try to have, and that’s how you find yourself tangled under the sheets with his arms around your waist and faint snores in your ear.
Maybe I’m not so bad at this comforting thing after all, you think.
↳You come to realize that your highschool sweetheart and you just aren’t meant to be when his attractive best friend walks back into town and sweeps you off your feet.
