let me adore you

Summary:

After losing all his savings to a scammer, Namjoon must take a break from being an indie novelist to join the ranks of capitalism. But maybe multimillionaire CEO Jimin can help.

Notes:

we're here!

it feels like forever ago since i said to myself "gee! what if i format my writer sugar baby minjoon social media au to post on ao3?" and what a wild ride it's been! kids, don't try this at home orz

this one goes to two people: to bees, because i finished this story the first time around for her, and to dorian, because he loves this story almost as much as i do. love you both very much!

now, let's talk lenght! this fic has 3 parts of a few chapters each. the first part has 10 chapters and it's all done, so look forward to that in the coming weeks!

i will be posting the first 4 chapters weekly and the rest every other week, so please make sure to subscribe to this fic or to my profile to get update notifs to your email!

anyway! enough talking for now, see you in the comments!! :D

Jimin

enslaver

Check your emails

why?

they're not going anywhere

...

We have an investment opportunity

I need your input

what for?

i don't know the first thing about investments

that's why i have you

Now don't be like that

You know stuff! We've been doing this for years

You used to help me a lot

yeah well, that was before i almost lost all of our money

Jimin...

It wasn't your fault

You couldn't have known

but i should have and you know it

he tricked me, i fell for it

end of story.

He was your boyfriend, of course you trusted him

that makes it worse

.

Look, we've been through this. I need you to run this company, I can't do it on my own and it's your money anyway, so please

Please help me help you



i'll check my emails in a sec

Great!

...after i read Moonchild's update

😑

take it or leave it

Ok ok, I'll take it

Just don't take forever, yeah?

They need an answer first thing tomorrow

sure

not like I'll have a lot to say, but sure

Wanna grab some lunch together?

We could go to that place you like, the one with the view

You'll get out of your apartment for a change and we can discuss the investment in person

...can tae come too?

I mean, I guess

But he might get bored

not if you're the one doing the talking 😏

...Jimin

yes enslaver? 😇

Stop it

but i didn't say anything :0



Whatever, check your email please

See you at lunch

soulmate 💫


taetae :(

what happened, bb?

why the sad face?

who's making my little chim sad?

kim namjoon :(

who's that? 👀

just the writer i like

oooh so that writer is making you sad?

kinda

well no

it's....

do you have time to talk?

are you busy right now?

not much, just waiting for a video to upload

talk to me baby 👁️👄👁️

。⁠:゚⁠(⁠;⁠´⁠∩⁠`⁠;⁠)゚⁠:⁠。

ok so

you know how i've been feeling not so good, right?

since... you know

yeh, i know

ilu

ily2

well, i've been reading a lot to distract myself, read some books and manga, also fanfic cuz we know that's the superior literary genre

to be honest!

yeah so

i found kim namjoon cuz one of my fave fic authors recommended them, and they don't write fics (that i know of 👀) but their novels are so good!!! so interesting and deep. i can't get enough!!!

and they do it for free! like, it's all right there for people to read!!! i mean, i've sent them tips so many times cuz i wanna give back, ya know? but other than that everything is out there on the internet

i mean that's pretty cool, but also kinda sad. if they're as good as you say they are, they should be getting paid for it tho maybe they do it as a hobby?

that's the thing, i thought that was the case, but apparently it isn't?

how do you know?

they said they're going on hiatus because they need to find a "real" job

oh

yeah :(

is that the reason you're sad?

...sorta

but mimi, that's life. people need to work and pay bills and stuff. creative outlets are great but they're not usually profitable :(

oh yeah i know that, i understand

i accidentally invented a beauty serum in uni and became filthy rich but that doesn't mean i forgot what it feels like to be broke

i know baby

i was just thinking out loud

yeah

it's just… even tho i understand on a logical level that they gotta do what they gotta do, i still feel sad because i wish they didn't have to, you know?

how so?

i mean....

i'm so happy when i read their stuff. their ongoing novel, Moonchild, is a magical realism+suspense kinda thing with an unsolved case and a detective and his friends helping to solve the mystery. and it is just so good! so wholesome and well written!

it's updated once a month and i've been waiting for it ever since i discovered the author. it makes me forget how i feel for a bit. makes my life more bearable, in a way.....

it's just such a good story and it's helping me deal with everything so much that i kinda wish i could give back to the author, help them out in this time of need

what do you mean need? cuz they gotta find a job?

wait, lemme show you what they said

[image sent]

oh

oh no that sucks!

right??!!

it's not even about the updates. it's about helping, ya know?

cuz i have all this money that i don't even use and i try to donate it and stuff but sometimes i see things like this and realize i can't really do much when it really matters

i'm tempted to send a big tip their way, but who knows if it'll be enough to cover for their loss

their novel makes me and others so happy!! helped me so much too!! i just wish i could repay that in a significant way :(

...

but maybe you could….

huh? what do you mean?

i mean, their post says they need a new job to make ends meet, right?

yeah, so?

well....

you like this person's writing a lot, right? it helps you and all that. and writing, creating, that takes time and skills. it's basically a job on its own, even if your kim namjoon isn't getting paid for it atm

...i don't think I follow, baby

hmmm

please take what i'm about to say with a grain of salt but

what if

you hired this person to write stories for you and others

like, what if you offered to pay off their debt in exchange for them continuing to write the novel you love so much? maybe even offer a deal so they wouldn't have to work outside at all, and that way they could make writing novels their full-time job

are you saying i should be kim namjoon's sugar daddy?

ahdkdkkdls

when you put it like that......

no no but

taetae

that's it!

that's the answer!!

it is??

YES!!

i have all this money in my bank account and what good is it if i can't use it to help my favorite author when they need it most???

sure i can help them get back on their feet, probably more than that cuz let's be real, i'm way too rich 😬

hell yeah you are!

you helped me buy the equipment to start my streaming channel and now i'm making a living out of it i’ll never be able to repay you 😢

oh baby nooo! i did it because i love you

you were miserable back in uni, you needed a fresh start, and i had the means

i know, ilu2, and i can't thank you enough for what you've done for me

it's why i thought you could do the same for this person

i mean, we're best friends, it's different

but maybe just talk to them? make them an offer?

hhhhhh

but what if i offend them?

what if they say no? :(

if they say no then they say no

but there's no harm in asking, is there?

yeah you're right

as usual 😌

i'll send a private message to offer my help, then pray for them to say yes

that's my boy 😍

thank you taetae 😭 dunno what would i do without you 😭 i love you so much 😭😭😭

not more than i love youuu 😭😭😭

here's chapter two for you! <3

Chapter Text

 

yoongi hyung


[3 missed calls]

Namjoon pick up

Pick up your goddamn phone, Namjoon! Where are you?

hyung! hi! sorry!! i was busy with stuff, didn't hear this thing ringing

Don't worry about it

Where are you?

i'm... busy

Busy? With what?

Can you drop by now?

i don't know, it might take me a while

.

Namjoon

hyung?

I saw your post

oh

...

i'm sorry

Don't be sorry, Joon

Just come home please

Hobi and Kookie are worried sick, so am I

Kookie saw your post and he told us and then we tried to call you but you wouldn't pick up

Come to the apartment and tell us what happened, please

Let us help

it's just... i can't right now

i'm at the police station. they're gonna take my statement

it's why i couldn't pick up, i was talking to some people here

Police?? Joon, what's wrong?

At least tell me the gist of it, until you can come down here

Please

hhh

okay

remember how i just moved out of your place a week ago and i gave my room to kookie so he could leave that horrible dorm he was living in?

Yes I do, I took you and your suitcase there myself... Why?

this is probably weird but the guy that rented me the room, the one who was gonna be my roommate?

well he's not the owner

he's not even on the lease haha

What?

in fact, he's actually the real owner's ex who thought renting the place to another person while the girl and her new boyfriend were on vacation was a good idea Iol

WHAT??

i know! it's hilarious! i can't stop laughing!

Joon wtf how did you find out? Are you okay?

oh yeah i'm good, i wasn't in the apartment when they arrived cuz i was running some errands

Oh god, did they call the police on you? Do I need to bail you out?

nah they were pretty cool and let me explain

the girl knew right away who i was talking about, more so cuz they found every single photo of them ripped apart inside the master bedroom... kinda creepy to be honest

Jesus

yeap. they even offered to let me stay the night, cuz this happened like pretty damn late

Oh good so you slept there

uhh…

Joon? You stayed the night, right?

i… kinda didn't wanna be a bother

Namjoon…

hyung it was so embarrassing

i should have known better, i should have suspected, check credentials, something!

i only started suspecting when he stopped picking up my calls like two days ago, he stopped going to the apartment too. now i know why but i didn't even check his room! i did nothing but being dumb and overeager because it seemed like a good deal and i was gonna be able to live on my own without abusing you guys kindness for the first time ever

.

sorry

It wasn't your fault, Namjoon

You couldn't have known

Fuck I should've insisted on meeting this guy, maybe could've caught on something

it's okay

i told you not to worry, you were just trusting me

you shouldn't have trusted me

...

So where did you sleep?

a motel

i still had some cash to get me through the month, not anymore tho

This person... Were you able to reach him?

nope.

that's why i'm here now. the true owner of the apartment wants to press charges, she asked me to come as a witness, so i did. she's nice, her boyfriend bought us lunch cuz well... i guess they figured i have no money left haha

Namjoon

Come home after you're done there, please

Most of your stuff is here anyway, you can sleep on the couch or with Kook

Heck! You can sleep with me and Hobi in our bed for all I care

Just come back home

We'll figure this out



hyung i feel so stupid

i gave that guy all my savings as a deposit, i thought i was finally gonna get back on my feet!

too much for grown up life huh?

We'll get through this Joon, I promise you

Now send me your location, I'm going to pick you up. Hobi and the baby are coming too

hyung you really don't need to

I know, but I want to

Now send me your location

[location sent]

ty hyung

i love you

You too, Joon

See you in a bit

see you

You know we are, Joon
What's wrong?
Need anything?
hhhh nothing's wrong
it's just
i was just checking my writer account and I got a DM that was a bit... uhhhh
hobi
👀
kookoo
👀👀
ugh lemme just
[image sent]
hobi
oooooh
yoongi
Do you know this person?
no i don't, that's the thing
it's a private account and they follow me but of course i've never seen them interact with my stuff
point is they sent that just after i said i'm going on hiatus cuz i got scammed and i... uhh
hobi
could be just a fan trying to help?
yoongi
Or not, it says "proposition"
kookoo
oooh you think someone wants to go all sugar daddy on namjoon hyung?
what? definitely not
kookoo
why not? it does say proposition
may as well be indecent 🤷
hobi
👀👀👀👀
yoongi
They also apologized right after and then proceeded to keysmash…
hobi
hyung is right,,,, do sugar daddies keysmash?
kookoo
sugar daddies do whatever they want cuz they have money to back it up 😏
yoongi
Fair 🤔
hobi
🤭🤭🤭
guys it isn't a sugar daddy come on
hobi
how do you know? have you talked to them yet?
....no
kookoo
why not?
because
hobi
because?
just because
yoongi
He doesn't know what to say
kookoo
probably
hobi
definitely
hey!
kookoo
don't worry hyung, we love you even if you suck at talking to strangers on the internet
i don't suck!! i have online pen pals
kookoo
online pen pals.
what's wrong with pen pals?
kookoo
we don't use that online, or i've never seen it
oh yeah? and how is it called then, oh holy authority on social media slang
kookoo
see i know you're being sarcastic right now but ily so i'm gonna let it slide in favor of your education
...
kookoo
:)
hobi
k now i'm curious
so is yoongi but he's pretending he's not so joonie doesn't get mad at him
kookoo
as expected
i hate you three
hobi
joonie don't be mean
kookoo
ok anyway it's called moot or mutual and also oomf
hobi
ooooh ty kookie! come collect kisses and huggles whenever you want, as payment for your wisdom
kookoo
😳
not so vocal now huh?
yoongi
Namjoon...
hyung i'm being bullied :(
yoongi
Now don't be dramatic, Kookie was just trying to help
how does that help me with the weird dm thing?
kookoo
now you know how to call your sugar daddy once you follow them back
hobi
🤭🤭🤭
it's not a sugar daddy!
yoongi
Sounds like a sugar daddy though
hyung not you too
yoongi
🤷
kookoo
kkkk
hobi
kkkkkkkkkkk
...
so
should i talk to them or just block them?
hobi
i say you talk to them
kookoo
me too, see what they have to say, how much money they can offer
yoongi
I'd block right away, not gonna lie
ajdkskdjskkl
you guys are no help at all
kookoo
as expected
hobi
you could also do nothing
huh? how so?
hobi
i mean it's just a dm and you don't even know this person
if you don't feel comfortable taking action, then simply don't
pretend you didn't read that, forget about it
bet the person will get the hint and stop bothering you
oh
hmm
kookoo
hyung but that's not fun :(
hobi
yeah but there's no need for joonie to stress over it if he doesn't wanna reply
kookoo
...i guess you're right
hobi
:)
yoongi
So Joon, what are you doing about the DM?
i don't know, probably what hobi said
i don't have time for this right now
have a lot on my mind, don't need another source of anxiety to be honest
kookoo
but hyung!
what if that jimin person is actually the love of your life waiting for you to reply so your writer sugar baby au can finally start?
i... what?
have you been reading haikyuu fanfiction again?
kookoo
...no
hobi
awww
ANYWAY
it's getting late, i'm tired and you lot are of no help
hobi
pfft love you too joonie bug
yoongi
Me too
kookoo

this can't be happening this can't be happening 😭😭😭😭😭

 

 jimin 🔒
@chimin

i thought that if i told them who i was then they'd trust me! why the fuck did they block me?? 😭😭😭

 

 jimin 🔒
@chimin

wait, maybe i could just dm them from my main account!!! that way they'll know i'm trustworthy!!! can't believe i didn't think of that before omg 🤦

 

 jimin 🔒
@chimin

...but what if they don't trust me anyway? or maybe,,,, maybe sending a dm was too aggressive? maybe i overwhelmed them and that's why they blocked me? :((((

 

 jimin 🔒
@chimin

i really really really wanna help! they're job hunting and that's frustrating and i could ease their burden but they need to unblock me first 🥲

 

 jimin 🔒
@chimin

if only there was a way for me to get to them that wasn't as forward as a DM but also clear enough for them to know i'm not a catfish or anything like that 🤔

or maybe there is 😏

why's park jimin asking you to check your dms?




 


 

 joon 🔒
@joonbug

what the fuck

 


 


what's that?

where did you see that?

social media, duh

yeah, of course, i get that but

who's that? why did they tag me?

who the hell knows why

but i do know who they are

vantaeplays is kim taehyung, a streamer i follow since he started his gaming channel cuz he's funny and cute and very good at explaining things

...cute huh?

SHUT UP

you want me to explain or not???

yes sorry

go on

right so

he's very active on social media and i have his notifs on cuz of reasons

point is he posted that and i saw it and that's you he's tagging, isn't it? your writer account???

it is

hhhhh

why?????

...

who's the other one? the hot blonde

hot huh? 😏

shut up

i mean i thought you'd know, since he's practically begging you to check your dms

......wait

hyung is that your sugar daddy wannabe????

.

IT IS I KNEW IT!!!

hyung wtf how do you know this guy?? is he really your fan?????

i don't know!

that's the thing

i don't know who the fuck he is

but he's the one wooing you via private message, isn't he?

not wooing

just... uhh

[image sent]

oh heck!

wait you blocked him??

LMAOOOO

i wasn't thinking, ok? job hunting is the worst and i hate pretending i want a job i don't really want just cuz i need money to stop sleeping on hyung's couch

...hyung i'm sorry :(

another bad day huh?

ugh you have no idea

they keep telling me i'm overqualified, whatever the hell that means. as if i can't be a clerk or a waiter or anything like that just cuz i have a masters degree 🙄 i mean, do i wanna be a clerk? no. but i happen to need the fucking money!

...sorry

no no hyung it's ok

you can tell me things, i'm here for you and i know how frustrating job hunting can be

tho i was always told i was underqualified lol

i'm sorry kookie

it's fine, i'm doing great now! the gaming and art streams are enough to help the hyungs with the apartment

it's a shame you can't sing or dance or draw or play video games :(

i knooooowwwwww

should've chosen a more profitable hobby lol

now don't be like that

some day you're gonna write the bestest novel of all time and someone is gonna notice and they'll hand you a billionaire deal!

...

you believe in me way too much

well someone has to

:(

:)

ty kookie

ilu

you too hyung

now... park jimin

ugh

i'd almost forgotten about him

that's a lie

you gonna tell me who that is or you just here to torture me?

why not both? i can multitask

hhhh

just tell me who that is omg!

kkkkk

well, honestly, i don't know that much about him

but i know enough

first of all, he's FILTHY RICH

he invented a skin serum or some shit and he sold it for an obscene amount of money. then he just branched out i suppose, cuz he's got shares in lots of companies, big and small. so he's basically getting richer by the second

oh

i see


 


 

 joon 🔒
@joonbug

WHAT THE FUCK

 


 


you know I can see your posts, right?

i'm aware, yes

ok as long as you know

...

you seem to know a lot about this guy tho

uhhhh

i told you i've followed vantaeplays since forever

okay?

well, this jimin dude is apparently his, uh, soulmate or something?

soulmate.

yeah

as in... romantic partner?

to be honest i don't know cuz one sec vantae calls him his friend and the next he's declaring his undying love for the guy during a livestream, so it's hard to tell

...okay

it still doesn't explain why you know so much about him

i mean i might have read a few canon compliant fanfics about them when i was bored out of my mind last chuseok

oh my god

what? i didn't write them! I just,,, found them on the internet and read them

jesus

for the record, they're pretty good!

i can rec you one, if you want

no thanks

meh, your loss

hhhhhhhhhh

so he's rich

yeah, like, stupidly so

ok thanks that's.....

uhh

fuck i don't know what to do now

what do you mean you don't?

it's pretty clear to me

oh really?

you happen to know what to do when a fucking millionaire dms you saying he's a fan and he wants to help you not go into hiatus and all you do is ignore him and then you fucking block him because you thought he was a catfish?!?!

i mean yeah

tho i'm pretty sure he's a billionaire hyung so there's that

oh my god

first thing you gotta do is unblock his rich ass and then (and this might sound crazy to you but bear with me), then you go and talk to him

….

you know i'm right

that's debatable

hhhhh

hyung just talk to the guy

i'm sure he still wants to talk you cuz i mean, he did use his public account to get your attention

...i guess you're right

i'm always right

ily hyung and you know i'm always here for you but right now you gotta go get yourself that sugar or i swear to god i'll dm park jimin myself just to give him your number

akdkdkks

alright alright i'll go talk to him

atta boy!

@namuwrites



hi! namjoonssi!!

thank you so much for replying!!

i'm glad you did ☺️

haha how could i not?

after you and your friend tagged me from verified accounts it was pretty obvious you weren't a catfish lol

omg that's the reason you unblocked me? 😳

i am so sorry fjkmskl i didn't know what else to do and my friend is just very very very supportive 😅

i could tell haha

it's okay :)

it's good you have friends who have your back to be honest

yeah taehyungie is very good to me. i love him a lot

do you have friends like that, namjoonssi?

well…

oh my god i'm sorry

it was a very forward question haha

you don't need to answer, don't worry

nah it's okay, i don't mind

i just didn't expect it, that's all

honestly i don't know how to talk to people here much heh

well, i do, but sometimes i feel like i don't know what i should or shouldn't say you know?

like, what is appropriate to tell a person you haven't met in real life and what isn't. is it okay if i tell them when i'm feeling sad? or happy? should i bring up my traumas? should i just talk about safe topics? are they struggling too? or is it too personal to even ask? it's a lot, and mostly the reason i don't talk to a lot of people here other than to thank them when they compliment my work. saying thank you is easy, but conversation beyond that is just... not so easy

haha sorry

bet you weren't expecting this when you messaged me

no no

it's okay

i feel the same


 


 

 joon 🔒
@joonbug

huh…

 


 


really?

yeah

well not the same obviously, cuz you feel what you feel and i feel what i feel

but i relate? in a way?

tho my problem is more like "can i trust this person? do they have hidden intentions?" sorta

how so?

uhhhh, i don't know how much do you know about who i am in real life but i'm like, loaded? and i don't say this to brag or anything, i literally could survive without working again in my entire life and that's pretty gross to be honest

it's insane and unfair to so many people who don't have a penny and it was because of a coincidence! but whatever, the point is that ever since i became wealthy i somehow became a "public person" too

like... i was a nobody before the whole serum ordeal then all of a sudden i was followed by press and people wanted to get to me and wanted something from me and... yeah, trust issues enhanced Imao

so even tho i find it easy to talk to people on and offline, i end up second guessing every interaction because they almost always want something from me



i honestly don't know what to say to that


 


 

 jimin 🔒
@chimin

great I already ruined it lol

 


 


it's okay, it's not as bad as it sounds

i just like being dramatic haha

i don't think you're being dramatic

it's totally valid, given your unique situation

yeah but i'm still just a rich moron complaining from my privileged pedestal

other people have it worse, so i should be grateful and shut up

other people's pain doesn't erase your pain. it'd be like saying your struggles erase mine. they don't. we just have different struggles, but they exist, they're real

and they all suck balls Iol

sorry, that was inappropriate…

jinnie hyung 👁️👄👁️

Do you know what's happening with our mochi cheeked friend?

Why's he being all weird on social media

i know, yes

Ok

Can you like, tell me?

hm..

i'm not sure if i'm authorized to share

sorry hyung :(

No no, it's fine

Soulmate code and all that, I get it

yeah

But like... Could you at least tell me if I should worry?

I don't know the context but I'm not an idiot, I know something is up involving someone Jimin is talking to

A crush, maybe? Is he dating again?

I didn't even know he'd started going outside unprompted again though if that's the case, I'm kinda glad honestly

i don't think that's the case, no

at least not right now

Oh

Well then I'm lost 😂

nah i don't think you are, just not quite so found either

...Your brain works in such unique ways I swear

is that good or bad tho? 👁️

Good

Very good

good 🤗

and re: jiminie's posts, i wouldn't worry too much

in fact i think this could be good for him

to get him out of his funk you know

Yeah I know

Ugh I swear sometimes I wish I could just go and strangle that fucker Jaeseok with my bare hands

But his extended jail time is second best, I suppose

yeah i know what you mean

he had it coming honestly, but i don't think mimi has forgiven himself for sending that jerk to jail, even after what he did

He loved the guy to pieces

It makes me sad

me too

That's why I'm asking you to keep me updated on... Well, whatever it is he's up to now

I don't need details, I'm confident he can take care of himself

But if at any point you think I should intervene or pull strings or whatever, just tell me yeah?

I couldn't protect him before, but as hell if I'm not gonna try this time

don't worry hyung! i'll keep my eyes open 👁️👄👁️

Good boy 😘

😳

…too much?

no, it's...

hhh

i'm sorry

it's just that, me and my friend tae? we say stuff like that to each other all the time, we're kinda grossly affectionate actually and sometimes i slip with other people

this is to say you can tell me if it makes you uncomfy and i won't do it anymore, no biggie

boundaries are important

i'm a very affectionate person and my friend tae is the same but we have a common friend that took a lot to warm up to us being all touchy, so i know we're not the rule what's really important is for everyone to be comfy 🤗

speaking of which... can i ask you something personal?

yeah of course

i mean i could choose not to answer, but you can ask

alright

i wanted to ask about your pronouns, if that's ok

oh?

yeah

i've been meaning to ask since before but i hadn't found the right time and i didn't know if it was rude?

it's just that my friend and i have talked about you before. nothing bad!! just me gushing about your stories and how much i like them

and i really wanna address you properly

that's... very thoughtful of you, jimin

omg no please, it's what everyone should do honestly

i'm just here doing the bare minimum kkk

i mean yes, i agree

but i also think you're a very thoughtful person, those aren't mutually exclusive

anyway, my pronouns are he/him at the moment

but life's full of surprises so who knows, right?

yeah i know what you mean

mine are he/him too ☺️

good to know :) ty for telling me

no thank you 🤗

you know, not that i think it's bad or anything, but what made you want to ask about my pronouns?

i promise i'm just curious, if only because this is the first time that i get asked that question

well... you don't have them on your profile or your website so i didn't want to assume

i can see your profile pic looks masc? kinda? but not conventionally so

also i already told you i'm a fan, and i mean that. i've read all of your stories and almost every entry on your blog

including that one entry from about a year ago? the one called "Speak Yourself"

oh!

i remember that entry

it's pretty long tho

i know, but it's so good

it's like an essay, right?

yeah i was kinda having a crisis about what i wanted to do with my life haha

so I wrote all that and threw it on my blog

didn't think anyone would read

well i did 🤗

and i loved it!

you did?

i did!!

i actually might or might not have cried reading lol

the part where you talk about making mistakes but owning them because they make who you are? omg i cried like a baby!

wow

yeah

you also mentioned gender identity there, in your essay

so i figured i couldn't just assume yours, or anyone's

i've been working on that since i read it

i don't know what to say omg

hhhh

i'm sorry, too weird?

no no!

absolutely not weird

i'm just speechless because i never thought i had the power to connect to people like that

it's...

wow

ty for telling me this, jimin

i mean it

on the contrary, thank you for writing your stories and thoughts and sharing them for free!

i'm sure i'm not the only one who thinks this way

i'm just foolish enough to dm you about it lol

haha it's fine

i'm glad to know that what i love to do helped you in any way

and hey! it's not like anyone would pay to read what i have to say all the time lol

@chimin

yeeeeeaaaaah…

about that

do you remember that when i first dmed you i said I had a proposition for you cuz i wanted to help?

...yeah

well... it might have to do with the "free" part of your writing

huh? how so?

you see, i happen to have a lot of money, right?

so i've been told...

so you've been told?

ah yeah, a friend of mine is a fan of your friend's streaming channel, he saw your posts and told me about it and about you

oh!

makes sense

what does your money have to do with anything tho?

hhhhh

to be honest i don't think there's a cute way to say this so i'm just gonna say it

i'm here to make you an offer, one that could be beneficial for both of us but mostly you cuz well,,,

i saw your post about the scam

...okay

and what's that?

i want to become your patron

as in, i wanna pay you to write for me

well not actually for me but like, you'll write for you, for whatever project you have in mind, and i'll pay you to do it cuz i really enjoy what you do and i believe you deserve the opportunity to pursue that

but that isn't a deal breaker of course! i'm fine just providing economic sustenance and only getting your stories in return

hmm

so you want me to, like, write for you but also, to keep writing however and whatever i want?

yeah

i want you to have the time to fully focus on being a writer, cuz that's what you want, right?

please correct me if i'm wrong

omg no you're not

i've always wanted to write and only write, but well, we live in a society

yeah i know what you mean

and that's exactly why i want to do this

i believe in you and your work, namjoon

i haven't been as moved by anything as i am by your writing, not in years! and i really want to help you get to a place where you can make writing your first priority

you deserve a chance and i have the means, so why not

i don't know what to say honestly

it's okay, i know it's a lot to take in

want me to explain my offer better so you have time to process?

yes please

okay ☺️

i've been thinking about it a lot, ever since i first dmed you, and i guess the best way to do this is to set up a monthly allowance

nothing too strict! cuz i don't want you to like, run out of money in the middle of the month for whatever reason and then have to wait for weeks to have money again

tho it should be enough to cover your expenses, so you'll have to give me details about how much you need for, say, food, rent, and basics

and also miscellaneous items like i don't know, chocolate? tea? whatever you normally buy in your daily life

my goal is to make you as financially comfortable as possible so that you can make writing your top priority without having to worry about stuff like making ends meet

...i guess i do sound like a sugar daddy haha 😅



so all i have to do is, like, tell you how much money i need and you'll send it to me every month and all i gotta do is keep writing my novel?

pretty much, yeah

also if you ever need more, you just gotta text me and i'd send you more

wouldn't want people saying i'm a splenda daddy or something 😂

uhh what?

sorry asdakjd bad joke

it's just, the more i think about it the more it sounds like a sugar daddy situation and to be honest why would that be a bad thing at all??

i have the sugar, i know what i want in return, and if you agree too then what the hell, you know

hhhh

when you put it like that...

what?

scared of being my sugar baby, namjoon?

😳😳😳

you're cute ☺️

but anyway, that's what i'm offering, if you'll have me

it*

the offer

if you'll take me up on my offer

hmmm...

may i ask you something?

of course ☺️

are you absolutely positive you won't want anything in return other than me doing my thing?

yes. 100%

i'm a fan of your work, what else would i need in return?

hhhhh

i don't know

fetishistic sex slavery?

what?

OH MY GOD I'M SORRY I WAS TALKING TO MY FRIEND EARLIER AND THE PHRASE CAME UP BUT I NEVER MEANT TO TELL YOU I AM SO SORRY

please pretend i didn't just freak out

better yet, forget i said anything oh my god

you are SO cute, you know that?

i've... been told

well you are, i can confirm

but to answer your question, no

rest assured that i won't demand any fetishistic sex slavery from you in exchange for my sponsorship, not even regular sex slavery or any kind of sex and/or slavery

you won't be my slave, you won't even be my employee...

you'll simply be a person whose skills i enjoy so much that i'm willing to give them money so they can continue to be great without having to look for another job

you know, since being filthy rich is my one and only skill lmao

being rich isn't a skill tho

technicalities, darling~

...okay

i gotta be honest with you, i got scammed less than a week ago by someone who offered me a deal that sounded too good to be true and in the end it was, actually, too good to be true

now i'm crashing on my friends' pullout sofa, with no real job and no savings so it's not that i don't wanna trust you? it's just... uh...

oh sweetheart i totally understand, don't worry

also... are you really sleeping on your friend's sofa right now?

yeah

i used to live with them but my other friend was living in a horrible place and i kinda wanted to be independent too, so I saved up some money from my ghostwriting gigs to move out

i gave my room to my other friend, made a big deal out of it, and didn't even let my hyung help me because i thought i had it

...i didn't lol

i'm so sorry baby, truly

sometimes people just suck, you know

it's not on us, it's on them!

baby.

askkjdjlaal sorry!!

the "i'm too affectionate with my bff so i slip when i talk to other people" thing again

i'll be more careful from now on, i promise

no it's...

i mean it's not ok ok but it's not not ok, you know

...i don't think i do lol

hhhhh

sorry

i mean..... not now but maybe later?

oh! okay! ☺️

so about that sofa.......

yeah?

may i help you not sleep there anymore?

huh? how?

i mean... i can't just stand by and do nothing. or i can, but i don't want to

i want to help you find another place to live, if that's ok with you

it could be a part of my offer, but even if you say no, i know lots of people, sure i can figure something out so you can have your own space again

hhhh

can I think about it? i really need to, like, process all of this

i'm not very fast when it comes to change, you see

of course! i understand completely

take all the time you need ☺️

thanks

it's getting late and i kinda need to do stuff so, uhh

oh, yeah, sure! go do your thing

sorry for taking so much of your time already :(

no no, you didn't

i enjoyed talking to you, you're an interesting person

ty, namjoon ☺️

i'll wait for you to message me, ok? but no pressure!!

sure

good night, jimin

hyung what are you doing?

job hunting

as every weekday for the past 2 weeks

you actually saw me leave the apartment today....

no yeah i know but like

WHY are you still doing that?

uhhh cuz i still don't have a job????



i thought we agreed you were gonna talk to a certain billionaire about securing a certain bag

but i did talk to him

i sent you screenshots

hyung that was days ago

yeah. so?

ajsdkkak you haven't texted him since then???

.

WTF WHY??

i said i needed time to process

i'm processing, jungkook

what are you, windows 95?

what's taking you so long?

i...

have my reasons

which are...???

personal.

hyung come on!!!!

.

hyung

namjoonie hyung

please talk to me, i thought we were over this already. you deserve that sugar. please please take that sugar. you don't even have to introduce me to vantae i promise

why do you want me to accept park jimin's offer so badly?

uhh because i want you to be happy???

you want me to be happy.

yes!!

hyung, you're miserable crashing on our sofa

we love you, we love having you around, but you don't wanna be here anymore

i know it's not cuz you don't love us or whatever, it's cuz you want to be independent, want to be a proper adult or i don't know

but you're just sad right now and i hate seeing you like that

...i'm not that sad

yes you are!!!

when was the last time you worked on your novel?

can't remember

see??? you're not even writing anymore

this is bad and getting a crappy regular job is not going to fix it

if anything, it will take up all your time, probably not pay you enough, and then you'll still be stuck with us AND still be sad

hhh i can't say yes to that man

why the fuck not??

because right now he wants to help and maybe i'll benefit from it, but one day, sooner or later, he will get tired of his little pet project and i will end up just where i am right now, jobless and homeless

hyung :(

sorry kookie

i know you're just trying to help

it's ok, you're scared and that's understandable

but for what i can see on vantae's socials, this jimin guy has been acting all emo since the last time you guys talked and I KNOW it might be unrelated, but also... maybe it's because you haven't said yes to the bag

i bet it has nothing to do with me

i don't know hyung, the guy sounded pretty eager to give you money

and even if his funk isn't about you, i still think you should say yes

we could tell the other hyungs, you know, for backup

i don't wanna tell them

why not?

i'm considering accepting a glorified patronage from some random billionaire who contacted me on social media... do you know how crazy that sounds?

ok fair

but i don't think they'd judge you or anything

they love you

i know

i too love you

i know

ily back

sweet! now let. me. help!!

...how could you help me?

i could be your backup contact in case stuff goes south, also your intel man because vantae kinda posts his whole life on his socials so i'd keep an eye out for mentions of your guy

also also, there's this other guy i could stalk, park jimin's associate

also also also... i might have an idea for you to practice safe sugaring

you do?

yup.... can i call you?

give me a couple minutes, i'm heading to a café right now

👍

Chapter Text

 

 joon 🔒
@joonbug

…here we go i guess

 

⋆⋅☆⋅⋆

 

“A contract,” Jimin says from across the table.

Namjoon nods, his nerves growing by the second. He’s really here, in a fancy tea house in the middle of freaking Gangnam, sitting right in front of the man who reached out to him less than two weeks ago to offer him money so he could do what he loves most in the world.

Whether the offer is legitimate or not remains to be seen.

“I think it’ll make things easier,” Namjoon says, just as Jungkook told him on the phone; as he told himself in front of the mirror before coming here. “To put our worries to rest and all that, you know,” he continues, feigning confidence – or trying his best.

“Oh yeah, I totally get that. It’s just…” Jimin starts to say but trails off, licking his lips thoughtlessly. Namjoon follows the movement but Jimin doesn’t seem to notice, his eyes cast down, staring at the cup of tea in his hands.

He looks nervous, maybe even more than Namjoon, and Namjoon is puzzled. This should be Jimin’s territory; he chose the place, the time, and sent a prepaid car to pick Namjoon up so that he “didn’t have to deal with public transportation”. All Namjoon did was ask for a meeting and then get into the car when it pulled up in front of Yoongi and Hoseok’s apartment building – not before sending the details to Jungkook and turning on his phone’s GPS, of course. Still, Jimin doesn’t look like someone who’s trying to get the upper hand, and Namjoon can’t help but find that reassuring; as if being nervous together is proof that they’re not so different after all.

“I didn’t expect you to suggest it,” Jimin continues after a moment, still not looking at Namjoon. “But you’re right, it would make everything safer, for both of us.”

Jimin takes a sip of his tea and Namjoon does the same, pleasantly surprised by the taste. It’s something sweet and citrusy that Jimin suggested and even though the missing prices on the menu made Namjoon a little uncomfortable, the fact that he doesn’t have to pay for anything also makes him feel like he’s being taken care of.

…It’s not a bad feeling at all.

“So, did you have any conditions you wanted to include in the contract? I suppose you did,” Jimin says, not unkindly. “I don’t think you’d have brought it up if you hadn’t already thought about it a lot.”

Namjoon winces at how transparent he is. He reaches into his messenger bag and pulls out a printed copy of the document Jungkook emailed him, a rough draft of a contract that his friend apparently conjured up out of thin air just because Namjoon happened to need one.

“I brought this,” Namjoon says, placing the document on the table and pushing it towards Jimin. “I don’t know much about contracts, but a friend helped me and we think this covers most of what we talked about and some other stuff we didn’t.”

Jimin hums. He puts his cup aside and picks up the document to read it. When he’s done, he hums again, but it seems to be more for himself than for Namjoon.

“You’re worried that I’ll lose interest and leave you hanging, aren’t you?” Jimin says calmly, his eyes back on Namjoon.

Namjoon blinks in surprise, because yes, that’s exactly what he’s worried about, but he’s pretty sure that’s not what it says in there. At least not explicitly.

“What gave me away?” He asks, because there’s no point in denying it now.

“This,” Jimin says, pushing the document back to Namjoon and pointing to a clause in it. “Two months notice if or when I decide to stop supporting you financially. It wouldn’t be so obvious without the ‘when’, but I guess that’s just because I was already looking for something like that,” he explains with a shrug. “It’s okay, though. In fact, you should be wary. Not because I’m planning to suddenly stop supporting you, but because you should look out for yourself. We all should.”

Jimin says the last part casually, but his brow creases and he hides behind his teacup again. If he were a character in one of Namjoon’s novels, he’d probably be having flashbacks of past mishaps right now, maybe even a big fuckup.

But he’s not fictional and Namjoon shouldn’t make assumptions about random people he met on the Internet – not even handsome strangers who want to turn him into a writer sugar baby.

“You have no more questions?” Namjoon asks, because he wants to know and because he needs a reason to stop staring.

“Not really.” Jimin shrugs again. “It’s pretty much what we talked about in DMs, you even included that thing about sexual interactions being off-limits.” He says it like it’s no big deal, but Namjoon can see a little blush rising to his nose and cheeks.

This must be awkward for him as well, the two of them here, sitting at a table, drinking tea and discussing the terms of their future sponsorship arrangement – or whatever they decide to call it if they go through with it. Just thinking about it is surreal, like something out of a movie or one of those anime fanfiction stories Jungkook pretends he doesn’t read anymore.

“I might have to show this to my lawyer, though,” Jimin says, picking up the document from where it lay on the table. “I don’t think I’ll have to make any major changes, but after what happened last time, I can’t sign anything without my team checking it first.”

“What do you mean, ‘last time’? Have you done this before?” Namjoon asks, feeling like he missed something.

“Oh,” Jimin says and he looks surprised, his head tilting to the side as he says, “You really don’t know?” Namjoon shakes his head. “I thought everyone knew, it was all over the news.”

“I didn’t know who you were before you contacted me,” Namjoon admits and Jimin’s eyebrows shoot up. “A friend told me who you were and that was enough for me, so I didn’t even look you up on Naver.”

“Huh,” Jimin says after a second, his eyes roaming up and down Namjoon, making him feel exposed under the scrutiny.

“What?” Namjoon asks, trying very hard not to squirm under Jimin’s gaze. There’s something about the guy, something that makes Namjoon feel like hiding but also not.

“Nothing,” Jimin says, smiling a little. “It’s just that it’s been a long time since I met someone who doesn’t know about my little... hm... scandal.”

“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to,” Namjoon says quickly, but Jimin dismisses him with a wave of his hand.

“It’s okay, it’s not like someone leaked my sex tape or anything,” Jimin says and then giggles, making no comment on how Namjoon’s eyes widen. He seems to enjoy teasing Namjoon. “I got into a really nasty lawsuit last summer,” Jimin explains, now completely serious. “My... partner at the time tricked me into believing that he wanted to start a non-profit organization for a good cause, when in fact he was just sending all the money I gave him to an overseas bank account.”

Namjoon gasps, but Jimin is gracious enough not to point it out.

“I signed some stuff that I shouldn’t have,” Jimin continues, “and he almost bankrupted my company. It’s a good thing my business partner is also a smart bitch and was already suspicious, so when things blew up, we already had enough evidence to build a strong case against the bastard.”

“You won?” Namjoon asks, the only thing his brain can come up with after the revelation.

“Barely.” Jimin smiles, but it’s more of a grimace. “Turns out the fucker was counting on me being too in love with him to actually press charges, which might have actually worked if he hadn’t cheated on me on top of everything else.”

“What an absolute fucking asshole,” Namjoon curses, outraged on Jimin’s behalf.

Jimin smiles again, this time more sincerely. “You can say that again,” he says. “He’s in jail now, five years, and he can’t even breathe near me or my company ever again.”

“We love a happy ending,” Namjoon says, irrationally angry at a man he’s never met. It probably has something to do with him getting scammed less than a month before, but mostly he just hates injustice.

“We do,” Jimin agrees and nods solemnly, then laughs and covers his mouth in such an adorable way that Namjoon’s anger melts away. “But anyway, that’s why I can’t sign anything without my lawyers checking it first, so I’ll take this with me if that’s okay with you,” he says, resting his hand on the document.

“Absolutely!” Namjoon says, “I printed it out for you.”

“Aw, aren’t you the sweetest thing,” Jimin coos and Namjoon doesn’t know what to do with that. Jimin doesn’t seem to notice, too busy folding the document and stuffing it into his designer bag. He pulls out his phone next, quickly checking the time before saying, “I know we only met to talk about the agreement but, uh... do you have any plans after this?” The question catches Namjoon off guard and he doesn’t even think before shaking his head. Jimin smiles once again. He has such a nice smile. “Can I take you out to dinner?” he asks, then quickly adds, “Only if you want to! No ulterior motives, I promise, just... I really like talking to you and I don’t feel like eating alone.”

Every instinct in his body tells Namjoon to go home, for more reasons than just the obvious “Stranger Danger” alarms his brain is blaring. But a big part of him actually enjoys Jimin’s company outside of the whole sponsorship ordeal.

The guy is nice to talk to, nice to look at, and wants to take Namjoon out to dinner, for whatever reason. So, what’s the worst that could happen?

“Sure, why not?” Namjoon says before losing his nerve, already dreading the shit Jungkook will give him when he finds out.

But it all fades into the background when he sees Jimin’s big smile, reminding Namjoon how weak he’s always been for pretty boys with pretty smiles.

JEON JUNGKOOKIE WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU

ahdjsk hey hyung

who died?

ME!

WHERE ARE YOU????

...out

no shit

you asked

I NEED YOU HERE COME BACK HOME NOWFBIKSS

why what happened??

weren't you on a date?

...it wasn't a date

he asked u out, paid for a car...

did he pay for everything else?

...yes

then it was a date

hhhhhhhh

hyung I'm kinda busy here so imma be direct

did you or did you not secure the bag?

...not yet

then i've lost interest bye 👋

jungkook

[the person you're trying to reach is currently unavailable]

JUNGKOOK

[the person you're trying to reach will remain unavailable until you stop being a coward and secure the bag]

i showed him the contract what else do you want from me???

[the person you're trying to reach might be interested in further details]

we talked about it, he'll show a copy to his lawyers before we sign anything but he basically agreed to it

he'll get back to me once his lawyer says it's safe

ok, that's good! that's progress!

so proud of you hyung, blah blah love you

wow careful there gguk i might think you care 😑

i'm BUSY!! i TOLD you!!

i really am happy tho and we can talk about it later but right now I'm doing something important so if that's all you gotta say then I'll see myself out

...that's not all

👀

he took me to dinner after we discussed the contract

oh? where to?

i don't know

somewhere expensive looking

did it have a name?

ryu... something

HE TOOK YOU TO RYUNIQUE????

...maybe?

HYUNG THAT PLACE IS SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE WHAT THE FUKC

...it was ok

IT BETTER BE, IT'S WHERE IMPORTANT PEOPLE GO

is it?

YES OH MY GOD

i guess i saw some familiar faces, but i thought it was my imagination

Jesus H. Christ hyung

and what did you have?

i'm not sure

he ordered for me and it was some kind of fusion food. it was yummy, but the portions were small so we went for ice cream after

he wine and dined you

no he didn't

we didn't have wine

he dine and ice creamed you

hhhhhh

…perhaps

ajdjwkfkdksdklxd

i can't believe this is happening

this is just so fanfiction material you know??

believe me, i know

it's one of the reasons i was having a meltdown when i got home, my brain catching up with everything

what do you mean one of the reasons?

well…..

after ice cream we went for a walk by the river cuz the night was so nice

there were street vendors with wood and leather jewelry so i was looking at everything cuz you know i like that kind of stuff

i saw a pretty necklace i liked but it was a bit expensive for me cuz i'm on a budget so i couldn't afford it

but jimin noticed and offered to buy it for me and i didn't wanna be rude so i said okay and he bought it and then he said "you should put it on now, it'd look good on you"

i said sure and then he said "may i put it on you?" and my brain kinda froze?? so i just nodded and he put it on me and he was so close and he's like, very handsome up close, and then he giggled and i kinda.... hhhhhh....

you kinda....???????

i pecked his cheek!!!! and said thank you!!!! and he just smiled and said "anytime, joon" and i just…….

you died

I FUCKING DIEDNSNKEMMAS

well fuck

right???

sorry to inform you, hyung, but you might have caught the feels

what? i did not

sure you didn't

i did not!!!!

...did i?

is your tummy still doing funny things when you think about what happened?

like you're gonna get sick but in a good way?

...maybe

the feels have been diagnosed.

ahfkesndksmfkel

this is bad 😫

i can't go having "the feels" for jimin

why not????

BECAUSE

he's about to become my sugar parental figure

...isn't that the best case scenario???

now you can secure the bag AND the heart

...don't you remember the contract? it says we can't have intimacy... we can't do anything off limits else the contract is null and he owes me a compensation

i mean, contracts can be amended

doesn't mean he'll want to

why wouldn't he?

uhhh cuz he might not like me back

are we kidding? of course he does

how are you so sure???

i'm your intel man, remember??

i have my sources 🧐

...right

anyway are you coming home soon? hyung and hobi wanted to know

i…am busy and will be for a while

tell em I love them tho

tell em yourself? they both have phones

i'm trying to put some distance there hyung.....

i just

yeah

oh

oh kookoo

i'll tell them, don't worry

ty hyung

don't worry baby, i gotchu 😘

tho I still think you should talk to them about the... you know....

they'd like to know and honestly, they love you a lot so you never know how things might turn out

you didn't come home yesterday night

oh! uhhh

yeah i was with a friend and we kinda lost track of time, sorry

no no baby don't apologize

you're an adult now and you have a right to go out and have funsies. the thing is you usually leave a note or send us a text, but you didn't this time and…. i know you don't have to or anything but hyung and i worry

i know

i'm sorry for worrying you

it's ok baby, as long as you know 😚

you're still with your friend?

yeah, one of his friends is here too. he's gonna take us to breakfast then pay for my ride home

oh but that's so nice!!! 😍

i'm glad you're having a good time kookie, you deserve it

yoongi hyung

?

ilu

Me too, so much

💗💕💖💕💋💓😍💋💋💋😚😚😍

Kkk

You texted me just to tell me that?

Not that i'm complaining

lol no

that's not the only reason

Okay

What is it then, is something wrong?

hyung

i think we should talk to kookie

We literally live together, Hobah. We talk every day

hhhhhh

hyung you know what i mean

Ah

You already know what I think about that

…i just think he deserves to know we know

Oh he does

Doesn't make confessing I read his journal and found out he's in love with us any easier, does it?

You didn't know

You thought it was your lyrics notebook

I still read it, Hoseok

I broke his trust and I'm honestly too much of a coward to just tell him and risk him hating me

i don't think he'd do that

We didn't think he was in love with us either yet here we are

that's different

How is it different?

We didn't even notice that the kid we practically adopted since he came here to study had or rather has romantic feelings for us even though we've been together the whole time he's known us. Why is it so hard to believe there's a lot about him we don't know?

because we do know him, hyung

he's jungkookie, OUR jungkookie

he's a good kid and that doesn't change just because now we know he's in love with us or whatever

If we tell him, we'll hurt him

I don't wanna hurt him, Seokah

from what you read, it might be already too late

...Still

Having one sided feelings might be hurting him now, but that's not the same as learning the people he's in love with know his secret

i guess i see your point, but i also think knowing is always better than not knowing

remember how many years we spent pining after each other cuz you thought i didn't like you that way?

How could I forget?

It was awful

it was

you thought i was straight! even though i literally texted you that i loved you like 100 times a day! and then when i got a boyfriend to get over you cuz i thought you just didn't like me that way you stopped texting me and i thought we were really over

In my defense, we were online friends. I thought my feelings were just me being irrationally fond and gay

we didn't meet online tho, you just happened to be visiting gwangju instead of living there

We met when we were in highschool!

and i loved you since day one baby



I don't wanna cry right now Hobi please I'm working

kkk my sappy boyfriend 💕

anyway my point stands. i don't think keeping this to ourselves is the best way to go. i love him, even tho it isn't in the way he'd want me to

I know, me too

Love him so much that I can't stand the thought of hurting him

i know you do 🫂

i'm kinda worried tho

Cuz he didn't come home yesterday?

Didn't Joon say he kinda knew who JK was with?

yeah i know joon said that but i uhh…

i texted him pretending i didn't know

Hoseok...

hyung he's been avoiding us

he doesn't return our calls, he's never home. ever since he moved in with us, we see him less than when he was living at the dorms

He's an adult, baby. he's allowed to have his privacy, his own life separated from us

i know, it's just...

he didn't even tell us where he was yesterday, and he didn't come home

if i didn't know better i'd say he already knows we know, but i don't think that's it

Me neither

i asked namjoon too cuz they're like very close lately, but he wouldn't tell me much, just that i shouldn't worry

Maybe he's right, Seokseok

Maybe Kookie just needs time for himself

We shouldn't expect his world to revolve around us

yeah i know you're right

doesn't make it easier tho

I know, baby

Let's give him time ok? I promise I'll think about telling him but for now, let's just wait

okay :(

ilu 🥺 pls come home so we can cuddle 🥺

I will 🖤

Hi Taehyungie! 😙

hyung 👁️👄👁️

How are you? You recording something?

no, not now.

i was just making myself some ramen, thinking about tidying up the place a bit

Were you now? Look at you, all adult and shit, cleaning the house

i'm 25 hyung, i'm not a kid anymore 😬

Yeah, I know.

Anyway, I'm texting because I didn't like how we left things yesterday

You wanted to go to the norebang together and I should have gone with you

I'm sorry, Taehyungie

oh!

it's ok hyung don't worry about that

Oh but I worry

I care about you a lot, you know that right?

i do, but it feels nice when you say it

I'll make sure to say it more then!

So... I was thinking maybe we could go today? To the norebang, I mean. We could have dinner too, if you want. My treat of course :)

oh!

oh…

Oh?

i'd love to go with you hyung but i already made plans for tonight

Oh.

yeah 😬

i'm sorry :(

No no, it's ok, don't apologize, you didn't know I'd ask

i didn't but i wish i had

i like hanging out with you

Me too Taetae

It's ok, we can hang out some other time if you want to

i do 👄

googie and i are just watching naruto tonight tho. you could come watch with us

I said what I said 😗

Anyway, gotta get back to work

Have fun tonight

Jimin

enslaver

You ever gonna stop calling me that?

you ever gonna stop making me work?

.

thought so

Anyway

I need to ask you something

is it work related?

Not really

cool. ask away 🥰

It's… I was just talking to Tae and I asked if he wanted to go out with me tonight to make it up to him because I said no yesterday, you know

oh i know

you lied and said you had to work

Why are you saying I lied?

hyung we use a shared calendar, i check it every day even if i don't actually show up to stuff. you were free yesterday afternoon, i know you were

hhhhh

Did you tell Taehyung?

no i didn't

Thank you

it wasn't for you

it would have hurt him and i can't stand the thought of hurting him

Sorry

don't be sorry, do better

I'm trying!

That's why I asked him out today

wait… asked out as in, a date?

...Maybe

akjdajdjkl

what do you mean maybe tho, what did you tell him??

I might have not mentioned that I wanted it to be a date



i'm blocking you right now

Jimin come on

hyung why are you like this?? it's been months since you told me you like him, he's been pining over you for literally years!!! why keep waiting?

It's not that simple, Jimin

I met you two when you were toddlers fresh out of high school, wide eyed and clueless after coming to seoul to study. I cooked for you, drove you around, helped you adapt. I practically adopted you

yeah well, that was years ago

we're not kids anymore

taehyung isn't a kid anymore, he's an adult, he's had relationships, he even tried to grow a mustache once!

Please don't remind me

oh stop you loved it

you couldn't stop staring and taking pictures

That's debatable

MY POINT IS

he's not a kid, and he likes you! he practically throws himself at you every chance he gets

just ask him out already please, spare me from this misery

I tried today, though! But he rejected me

what? he wouldn't

He did! He said he already had plans

Something about watching Naruto with Google?

google?

Or maybe he said Googie, whoever that is

oh!

oh...

Oh? Why oh??

ahdksaskajdk it's just… uhhh…

do you know who googie is?

I don't. But I assume you do?

hhhh

it's jungkook, jeon jungkook

he's… tae's new friend

New as in..?

as in they met yesterday because tae was bored and posted it on social media and then kookie messaged him and they ended up going to the norebang together and kinda had a sleepover too

Oh.

yeah

don't you check your socials?? tae basically posts his whole life there

...I knew he'd be all *Sad Tae Noises* after I said no and I felt guilty about it so I haven't checked any socials today

hyung…

I have no other excuse whatsoever

at least you know

So this Jungkook guy… Have you met him?

yep

i went to tae's place this morning and he wouldn't open his door so i let myself in with his passcode

And?

…found them both spooning on tae's bed

Spooning.

it was kinda cute actually

Okay

So they went to the norebang once and now they're besties?

i guess?

i took them to breakfast, to get to know jungkookie better

gotta take care of my soulmate you know

Understandable

to be honest the kid's a brat but he's sweet too and i think he's tae's fan from the channel

he looked a bit starstruck lol

I see

And Tae? How did he look?

i don't know, happy?

he's clearly very fond of jungkook already

Is he?

uh yeah?

wait omg... hyung are you jelly?????

I'm clearly peanut butter

OMG YOU ARE

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU

Listen

hyung please i told you, i literally told you to confess months ago, but did you listen? no.

I was waiting for the right time

which is just when tae gets himself a new admirer huh?

I literally didn't know about the new kid until like ten minutes ago

well, you have the worst timing ever, hyung wtf

HHHHHHH

hyung relax

tae is really into you, for some unknown reason

he's not gonna stop because now he has a new friend

You see, you say that but he already said no to going out with me because of that other man

did he tho? are you 100% sure??

...he might have invited me to hang out with them but i said no

HYUNG

LISTEN

I panicked and I didn't want to impose my presence if he already had plans with someone else

but he invited you????

Could have been out of pity

that's it

you're an idiot and i'm not helping you anymore

good luck dying alone and unloved bye!

good evening, namjoon! park jimin here 😊

i met a friend of yours this morning, jeon jungkook? he knew about our agreement so i'm guessing he's the one who told you about me

he gave me your number, said you wouldn't mind. i do hope that's the case but if it isn't just lemme know ok?

I wanted to tell you my lawyer just got back to me on our contract! yay!

jimin hi!

you're absolutely right, jungkook is the friend i told you about. i'm fine with you having my number, i meant to give it to you last time actually, but i kinda forgot

oh!

that's ok don't worry

i'm just relieved you're not mad at me or anything. never wanna make you uncomfy :(

hhh

you're very sweet, jimin. ty for caring

omg no don't thank me i'm just being bare minimum here lol

i mean true, but also most people don't care so

well they should 😤

anyway, hi! how have you been?

i've been... anxious honestly

oh no! why? :(

because you didn't text me or anything all day and i kinda thought you'd reconsidered

:(( joonie

i didn't know you wanted me to text you throughout the day. i thought texting was just for contract related stuff

nah, not necessarily

i do like talking to you about whatever, i told you as much yesterday

yes you did!

i just didn't realize you also meant texting, but worry not! I'm here to make your every wish my command so if you want me to text you silly stuff too, i'm more than happy to 😋

so anyway, about the contract

yes?

as predicted, my solicitor made some small modifications to it, nothing too significant honestly, but i'd like you to take a look

[document sent]

…it looks okay to me honestly

yeah?

yes, it's basically the same as before but with better grammar haha

i mean, you and jungkook did a very good job for two inexperienced people

ty :)

you're very welcome :)

so… all i need now is a sum to work with and we could be signing this baby in no time at all. the faster we do it the faster you can start writing again 🤩

haha you seriously like my stuff that much?

i do! i'm literally obsessed with Moonchild, but you already knew that

i'm just glad you like it

and i'm glad you're writing it

now… a sum please :)

uhhh... actually i was just thinking... are you busy right now?

not really, why?

it's just... i know i could tell you everything by text or email and be done with the details but it feels impersonal that way, don't you think?

impersonal?

yeah

i know it's a contract but it doesn't have to be like, A Contract

i don't think i follow

hhhh

what i mean is that, since you're not busy right now and we need to discuss this anyway, maybe we could meet up again today

oh! of course i want to, are you kidding? i'd love to see you again, namjoon

me too

awesome!

want to have dinner again? we could go somewhere pretty to talk about stuff, sounds good?

sounds great!

great! let me make a reservation real quick and i can send you a cab like last time. is that ok?

more than ok

i'll start getting ready then

yeah you do that! see you in a bit then :)

not if i see you first :)

Notes:

part 1 is done, y'all!! what a ride!!!!!

now, let us talk logistics again: part 2 is still in the early stages (aka the story is complete but there are things i want to tweak and also the whole formatting and coding part) so i can't give you an exact date.

HOWEVER, i can tell you part 2 is the shortest of the 3, so it should be ready somewhat quick. also, i have a personal goal of posting this whole fic before 2026 so please make a circle, get in it, and pray for me and my tendons 🫠

in the meantime tho! i've written over 50 bts fics, plenty of them minjoon (or minjoon adjacent), and a lot more featuring other bts ships. feel free to browse while you wait, and let me know if you see something you like! 🤗

Where's da baby?
that's what i'm saying
has anyone seen the baby today?
yoongi
Did you make a whole new group chat just to ask about Kookie?
… maybe
hobi
Imaoooo
i wasn't thinking ok? i thought i was messaging you separately
yoongi
The GC has a name tho
Why
... the phone asked me, i needed answers
hobi
Imaooooooooooo
stop laughing at me and gimme answers dammit!
where's our baby?
yoongi
Honestly, we don't know
what do you mean you don't know?
he lives with you! how can you not know?
hobi
he lives with you too tho
yeah but i was out last night and haven't seen him since
so i went to his room to tell him something and he's gone??
it's literally so early bro, he usually isn't even awake this early
yoongi
He's not gone early, he just never came home
he what?
yoongi
He left after you did, we don't know where to
again, what?
that's not like him at all
yoongi
Yeah well, this isn't the first time
hobi
i think he's just avoiding us
and why would he do that
hobi
you sure you don't know?
of course i am! i didn't even know this was a thing
why didn't you tell me?
hobi
the other day i asked you if you knew what was going on with him, you said to give him time and not to worry
well yeah but i didn't know it was this serious
this isn't like him, he's a good kid
yoongi
He is, that's why we're worried
Maybe you could talk to him? He listens to you, for some reason
i could try…
tho i think i have an idea why, but i can't tell you
hobi
is it because he's in love with us? cuz we already know that
what
yoongi
Hoseok
hobi
what? i bet namjoon already knows, he's always teasing the baby when we cuddle and stuff, i'm the one who can't believe we didn't notice sooner
yoongi
Joonah, did you know about this?
...maybe
hobi
fucking knew it!
listen
he told me in confidence, i couldn't just snitch okay?
yoongi
We understand
hobi
the fuck we do
yoongi
We do, Hoseokah. We've talked about this
hobi
i know
yoongi
Then why are you being difficult all of a sudden?
hobi
because i'm fucking worried!
i worry about him not coming home and i worry about him avoiding us
i love him so very much and i can't stand the thought that we may have hurt him so badly that he started acting out and i didn't even notice!
hobi... you didn't hurt him
hobi
you can't possibly know that
i was, i am always so touchy with him. i kiss his cheeks and say cute things to him, but i never knew he liked me that way
i never knew maybe i was hurting him
yoongi
Seokah…
hobi
i'm sorry hyung
yoongi
It's ok
I'm worried too
…i know it isn't my place, probably, but i don't think you hurt koo
sure, having a one sided crush sucks, but he's stronger than he looks. he's grown up. heck, he gives ME advice sometimes! so like, don't be so hard on yourself, okay?
i'll talk to him about not telling us when he's not coming home at night cuz that shit needs to stop, but if he's actually avoiding the two of you, maybe give him time? he'll come around eventually
besides, i think i know where he stayed and he's perfectly safe there, so don't worry too much
hobi
wait you know this new friend of his?
kinda
it's complicated but yeah, they're good people
yoongi
They?
he
the friend
yoongi
Huh
what's huh? don't huh me
yoongi
I can huh you all I want, Kim Namjoon, I'm older than you
hobi
oh heck, the hyung card
shut up hobi
hobi
joonie that's mean 🥺
hhhh
just.. i'll talk to him, ok? let's figure out what's going on in that boba shaped head of his
yoongi
Thanks, Joonah
also uh... have you considered telling him y'all know he's in love with you?
i mean, you don't have to,,, but i think he'd like to know
yoongi

hobi
We're thinking about it
hm
anyway! it's already mid morning and i want to get some writing done so uh, i'll let you know if/when i talk to JK, yeah?
yoongi
Yes please
hobi
wait you're writing today?
yeah? you know i write, this is hardly news
hobi
yes i know but like, you haven't opened your laptop in weeks
so?
hobi
so...
you had a date last night and suddenly you're writing again?
did you find your muse, joonie? 👀
hhhhh
it wasn't a date, it was more like a work dinner thingy
hobi
don't you need to be employed for that?
i'll have you know that not only did i recently receive a very good job offer, but i may also be getting paid to write my novel now
hobi
omg that's amazing!!
congrats joonie!!!! 💕💓💖🔥✨💫🎉🎊💓💞
ty :)
yoongi
Is it with a publishing house, Joonah? Do we know it?
…it's not a publishing house
hobi
then what is it?
well, it's more like
an individual investor
kinda sorta
yoongi
So just one person? Not a company?
yup
yoongi
And is it trustworthy?
what do you mean thrustworthy?
hobi
he means if you're sure it's legit
like, not a scam
it isn't a scam
yoongi
Okay but how do we know that?
because i've met the guy
he tried to contact me for weeks but i waited until i was sure he was legit
jungkook helped me check his credentials, and he's met him as well
also, we have a contract. a real one, with official seals and everything
i'm not an idiot, hyung, i won't let myself be fooled again
yoongi
I never said you were an idiot, Namjoon, I just want you to be safe
yeah i know
i'm sorry
hobi
so you signed a contract with a guy who wants to pay you to write your novel…
wait is this about your mysterious sugar daddy wannabe????? 👀👀👀
it's getting late, i'll leave you guys to it
yoongi
What do you mean late? It's 10am
hyung just forget i said anything
you too hobi
it's not a big deal so let's not make it one
yoongi
OK
Let us know if anything feels off, yeah? We're here for you
i know, i love you
yoongi
Me too
hobi
me three!!! 💞💞💞
now go write and say hi to your sugar daddy for me, will you?
also ask him if he doesn't need a dancer to dote on 😘
you're literally in a relationship?
hobi
what can i say? i like rolex
yoongi
He really does
lol bye

taetae!!! 💖💖💖
i was just thinking about you baby, a lot happened yesterday and i want you to know everything!!!!!!
you free right now? can i take you out to brunch?
yeah, i'm free
yayyy!!!!
wait...
my soulmate senses are tingling
is something wrong? did something happen?
i uh… guess something happened
but i'm not sure if it's good or bad
baby :(( what is it? you can talk to me, i'm here for you
i know, ilu
ilu more 💖
now, tell me?
uhh... do you remember jungkook? the guy you met yesterday when you came to my place unannounced?
i do, yes
he's your new friend, the brat i bought three services of pancakes for
did something happen to him? is he ok?
he's fine! don't worry
he was with me, but just left
did you weebs stay up all night watching anime?
i think i remember you saying you were going to meet up again
yeah we met up, rewatched some naruto
that sounds fun!
i'm glad you have a new friend to keep you company
and he's nice too! a bit disrespectful but in a cute way so it's fine
yeah, he's nice
very nice
hey taetae?
jiminie 👁️👄👁️
does what you wanted to tell me have anything to do with jungkook spending the night again?
maybe
then tell me, baby, please
i'm all ears and eyes for you 👂👁️
i know, it's just…
you were kinda right, we did stay up all night
but it wasn't watching naruto
oh? did you watch something else?
no we… hmm…
we slept together, chim
i thought you said you stayed up all night
i did but like
we stayed up all night because we slept together
oh
OH!!!

@chimin

oh boy

kirby is sitting at a desk looking distraught.

 


 


yeah…
i mean, that's good baby, isn't it?
he seems like a nice guy and he's obviously into you
i didn't know you were into him too, but all the same
this is an objectively good thing
i guess you're right
you guess?
it's just...
it feels so sudden, you know? cuz we met two days ago, went to the norebang, watched anime, played some games, and that's about it
you know me, you know i usually need time for things to move forward
i know baby, you're perfect ilu
ty ilu2
so... did jungkook rush you or anything?
is that what you're trying to tell me?
oh gosh no! it wasn't like that i promise
i… wanted it
i enjoyed it very much
oh ho ho
/(/ /•/-/•/ /)/
so you guys slept together and had a fun time
yeah
then why are my soulmate senses still tingling? what's worrying my baby?
it's… you know i like seokjin hyung, right?
believe me, i know
well, i think…
i think he finally wanted to ask me out yesterday, but he chickened out cuz i already had plans with googie

 


 

 jimin 🔒
@chimin

a woman with her hair pointing in all directions looks surprised and amused.

 


 


oh really???? why do you think that?????
i don't know, a hunch?
he's been distant lately, but sometimes he like, says things and does things, things that make me wonder if maybe he likes me the way i like him
hmm…
but you like jungkookie too, yes?
i do
i like him and he likes me
obviously
but he's also trying to get over someone
oooh
yeah he told me today, actually
we talked a lot after we woke up
i told him about hyung too, and he says he's ok with it cuz he gets it
he also said he really likes me regardless, so if i wanna try dating he's more than willing
oh my gosh, that's very sweet 🥺
do you wanna date him?
…i think i do
then go for it, darling
you think so?
i do
he's a brat but he's sweet so he'd probably be a good boyfriend
and he's friends with namjoon hyung so like, i know where he lives now and can chop his dick off if i need to
lol jimin!
what? gotta protect my soulmate's virtue 🐥🔪
i think he's a good one tho
yeah me too, honestly
but jin hyung…
what about him?
what if he…
what if i'm right?
look babe, you know i don't have anything against jin hyung. i love him a lot and would kill for him, but...
you shouldn't give up on what you want right now just because he might want to ask you out someday
you deserve better
i know
i'm just so in love with him, chim
he's all i've ever wanted
i know, sweetie 🫂
though you also like googie, correct?
yes
kinda a lot
then i say go for it
if things are meant to be, nothing can stop them from happening. if you and hyung are meant to be together, you will be
but you shouldn't put your life on hold for something that might or might not happen
i guess you have a point
i do! 🙂‍↕️
now, how about we go get some yummies, hm?
only if we come back here for cuddles once we're done
of course! ✨
go get ready, ok? ilu
i love you mostest 💜

Park Jimin (Brat)

JIMIN
Oh good you unblocked me
PARK JIMIN
hello to you too hyung
Hhhhh none of that!
Can you tell me wHAT IN THE EVERLOVING GODFORSAKEN FUCK IS THIS??
[image sent]
oh...
that's a contract
No shit
you asked 🙄
I did
But what I really want to know is what's a patronage agreement? Why's your name in it? And who THE FUCK is Kim Namjoon?
uhhh
where did you find that?
It was jammed inside your office printer
Mine ran out of ink
ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION
alright hyung jeez!
can you calm down?
I certainly cannot
you're not even trying
Jimin, please, I need to know what this is, I'm panicking here
...fine
remember that one author í really like? the one i've been following on social media and stuff?
The one you have a crush on? Yes, I remember
ANYWAY
that's kim namjoon
Not gonna lie, I'm no wiser with this information
hhhh
here lemme just send you the whole thing
[document sent]
…Jimin did you just become Kim Namjoon's sugar daddy?
aksjhakjhd I DID NOT
Really? 'Cause it looks like you did
listen he needed my help okay?
someone scammed him, took his savings, he's practically homeless!
And since when are you a charity act?
hyung…
Jimin, I'm trying to understand. I really am. But I'm having a pretty bad day, and on top of everything, I just found out that you signed a sugar daddy contract behind my back! So excuse me if I'm a bit all over the place, but the truth is that I'm freaking out, and I think you know why
i know, i'm sorry
i've fucked up before and you're worried that i'll do it again
i should have talked to you about it
I'm sorry too, Mimi. I didn't mean it like that
I'm a jerk when I'm scared
it's fine
It really isn't
Nothing, and I mean not a single thing about what happened with Jaeseok was your fault. I shouldn't have made you feel like it was
You're a good man, Jiminah. Your heart is way too big for your own good and hyung worries, that's all
Can you forgive me?
yeah
it's fine, don't worry about it
Okay
Now can you please explain why you didn't tell me sooner?
i just didn't want you to worry
it's really not a big deal, and i talked to our solicitor as well, so everything is covered
Did she check the contract?
every word
she said it was safe to sign, so we did
When did this happen?
last night
namjoonie and i had dinner, discussed some details and since we both agreed on everything, i took him to my office, printed the thing and we both signed it
So he's Namjoonie now, huh? Not Kim Namjoon or Namjoonssi
ajdksksk hyung!
What? I'm just saying
ANYWAY it took some time for the printer to work, so i may have sent the document more than once and that's why it jammed when you tried to use it
I see
Were you also on a date with this Namjoon person the day you bailed on Taehyung and me?
i was, yeah
taetae knew
Of course he did
Well, it does seem like you have most of this figured out
Besides, I trust you, so I guess I shouldn't worry
thanks hyung
Although...
Why's there a clause about not having intimacy else the contract is null?
that's because namjoon hyung felt a bit uneasy about me sponsoring him without getting anything in return besides his writing
i mean, his writing IS enough for me, but he wanted to protect himself and i respect that
No no, I figured that much. But also…
You do realize this is the same man you've had a crush on since forever, right? The one you used to talk about for hours and hours, waxing poetic about his writing, how great his social media posts are, how good he looks in pictures
I've been reading your posts too, you know. Because much like Taehyung, you seem to think no one ever reads what you post online. So, let me ask you again: Why is there a clause that keeps you from pursuing Kim Namjoon romantically when it's obvious that you like him that way?

 


 

 jimin 🔒
@chimin

a woman has her eyes open and is staring at nothing as if speechless.

 


 


i don't want him to feel like he owes me or has to give me anything else in return for me to support him, to help him
that's all i want, hyung. i just want to help
Okay
Does he know you like him?
i don't think so, no
and it doesn't matter because i don't plan on acting on it
You gonna keep it to yourself?
yeah
it's the only way to help him without making a mess of things
Jimin…
what?
Nothing, I just… I'd hate to see you get hurt over this
Are you sure this is the right way?
no
🫤
it's fine hyung, i've got it under control
besides, it's probably just a silly celebrity crush
it'll pass

Alright, I'll stop nagging you about it, but if at any point you wanna talk to someone, please know that I'm here
I'm not great at giving advice, but I can listen
thanks hyung
You're very welcome
Also, please stop keeping these things from me, I almost had a heart attack in the middle of my work day
kkkkkkkkk
i'm sorry, i'll tell you next time
Next time? Are you planning on getting another sugar baby soon?
ajdjkak of course not, what??
Pity, I was about to send you an application
hyung!
😂😂😂😂
Anyway, if there aren't any more secrets to reveal, I need to get back to what you don't do for our company
Spoiler alert: It's called working
🙄
i'm with taetae right now. soulmate time is much more important than work 🤢
That's debatable, but I'll let it go because I like Taehyung
pffffft you're down bad
SHUSH
Tell Taehyungie I said hi
i will 🤗
altho uhmm…
Uhm?
can i call you later? say, in about an hour?
there's something you need to know
Can't you send me a message?
i think it's better if i tell you myself, tho it's probably not my place to tell you this, but contrary to popular belief, i do like you and i do want you to be happy
You're scaring me now, brat, what the fuck
let's talk later, ok? i'll call you when i can
...Okay
Talk to you later, then
💕

hyung!!!! 💗💗💗
what the fuck, did i get the wrong number?
who are you and what did you do to my baby?
looool can't i greet you lovingly for once?
i mean you can, but it's weird
should i be a brat instead? 🤨
aren't you always?
#rude
n e way
hello hyung, how are you? where are you? why aren't you home? i just got to the apartment and we have so much to talk about!
we do?
yes!!!
you finally secured the bag and i'm emotionally invested in that sugar baby au of yours, so i want all the details!!!! 🤲
oh!
there's not much to tell. we had dinner, talked about things, and then signed the thing. no biggie
excuse me? of course yes biggie!
it's literally the biggest biggie!!!
it really isn't
but it is tho??? park jimin is now officially your sugar daddy and you're about to start a glamorous life where money struggles are but a distant memory
ajdjkskkska you make it sound like this is a tv drama
you mean it isn't?
koo what the fuck, this is not a drama, this is life, my life
…oh god this IS my life now isn't it?
oh good, you're aware of it now
hhhhhh what did i do?
you just started your sugar baby au
jungkook…
hyung relax
this is good! this is a step in the best direction!
is it?
yes!!!
a hot rich dude just agreed to sponsor your writing career by paying money, REAL MONEY, so you can write your books and live your best life
this is your opportunity to do what you love, write your bestseller and win a hugo award or whatever other prize you want!
can you please try to enjoy it?
hhhhhhhhhh
fine… i'm going to breathe and try not to panic
atta boy
was that why you texted me?
no that wasn't the reason
what is it then? 👀
uhhh
koo where were you last night?
oh... hmm… i was out, hyung
were you with jimin's friend? did you crash there?
yeah i was with him
oh good, i'm glad it was with him
he seems like a nice guy
he's very nice
however…
jungkook, you didn't text to let us know you were staying there. i didn't notice because i went out too, but hyung and hobi… they were really worried
shit, they were?
yeah
they didn't call you or anything cuz they know you're an adult but…
this is not like you, baby. you know we care about you a lot, right?
we're not asking you to tell us your every move, but at least let us know when you won't be coming home so we know you're alive
fuck, i'm so sorry hyung
i didn't mean to worry you
i know, baby
hobi hyung told me something similar yesterday and i promised him i wouldn't disappear like that again
guess i already broke my promise lol
were they mad? i haven't seen them today, they weren't home when i got here
they weren't mad, just worried
right
for what is worth, it wasn't on purpose
i just... got caught up on things, didn't think much of it
you sure it wasn't a little bit on purpose?
how so?
it's… i know you're trying to distance yourself from them cuz of, you know, the thing. believe me, i truly get it and of course you deserve to not feel like crap all the time
but you're living with us now, baby, and we can't help but worry if we don't see you or hear from you
i see
i don't know what else to say but sorry
cuz i am
i am very fucking sorry and i promise it's not on purpose
okay, i believe you
maybe you gotta pay more attention or set an alarm?
that's not a bad idea
ADHD management 101, etc
one would think i could come up with that on my own, but alas
heh well, that's the whole point of having a support group
you don't need to do all the thinking cuz we're here for you
but we can't be if you don't let us
i know
it's just… hard, lately
i imagine
you've been keeping that inside for too long
i know it's probably not my place to ask, but wouldn't it be easier if you told them what you told me?
i can't do that
i can't tell them i'm in love with them and have been since forever, especially now that we're living together
what if they think i'm weird or that i want to come between them or i don't know…
they wouldn't think that, baby. they love you
i love you too
i know
me too
look, i can't tell you what to do about hyung and hobi, but i can insist that you text us whenever you're staying with your new friend
yeah, i get it
i gotta get my head out of my ass and let you guys know if i'm not coming home so you won't think i'm dead in a ditch
that's my boy :)
anyway! you sounded happy on social media earlier 👀 what was that about?
is vantaeplays that good of a host?
tae's good at many things, actually
oh he's tae now? not vantaeplays?
hyung stop
i shan't!
you've teased me about jimin to the moon and back, it's only fair that i tease you about your crush too
at least i'm not a coward and actually did something about it, unlike some people
i signed the contract, didn't i?
yeah but did you secure the heart?
…i refuse to dignify that with an answer
figured
oh come on, it's been 2 days since we first met, cut me some slack
2 days is more than enough to secure the heart
as if you know more than i do, mister never had a serious relationship because he was too busy watching anime and playing league
as a matter of fact, i do know more than you
one-time hookups with people you met at the manga café don't count
first of all, i don't hook up with people from the manga café, that's what Jack'd is for
second, watching anime and playing league is what pays the bills, thank you very much
and third, not that it's any of your business, but i'm well on my way to securing the heart
how so? did you two exchange ao3 pseuds or something? shared the crunchyroll password?
🙄
you know i'm right
you're an asshat, that's what you are
takes one to know one
maybe, but i'm not like you. i'm proactive!
i see it i want it i got it, like the song
what you got, the heart?
not yet
but i got something, trust me
i made my move
and your move was…?
that i let him peg me seven ways to sunday

if that's enough for you then it's enough for me too
now i get why you forgot to text us 😉
hhhhhh it wasn't like that
sure, we slept together or whatever, but we also talked a lot
i even told him about… you know
oooh
what did he say?
he said he's okay with it because he's also trying to get over someone, so he knows what it's like
oh but that's good isn't it?
i mean, not the thing itself, but the fact that you can understand each other
i'm glad you have someone like that in your life
hhhh hyung, i like him a lot 😫
i guess i knew that since before i DMed him, but it was more of a celebrity crush back then
now tho... i think i want to date him
oh wow!
that's awesome kookie!
it is?
yes!!!
you deserve to be happy and if this tae person can make you happy, then you should go for it
i think he could make me happy
or rather, he already does
he's awesome
…oh man, i hope he wants to date me too, cuz if he says no, i'm gonna cry SO hard
i'm sure he'll say yes, and if he doesn't, then he's the one missing out
ah hyung
you're gonna make me cry right now :(
you always cry tho?
aaand we're back to our regular programing
🤣🤣🤣
sorry, baby. i love you
love you too
😘
now i need to get back to work
gotta hit that daily word count, you know
hyung you're writing again????
i am, yes :)
that's so cool!!
everyone say thank you, park jimin!!!
hey, i write because i love it, okay?
sure, but now you have a new motivation
which is?
that your hot sugar daddy has a thing for your writing, duh
oh shut up
hyung that's mean :(
you sound like hobi
he kinda raised me, so
true
and he's worried sick about you right now, so go talk to him
…do i have to?
no
but you should
ugh
i hate it when you're right
i'm always right
that's why you should listen to me
no thanks, you haven't even secured the heart
at least i secured the bag
touché
now go write your first bestseller while i try to catch up on all the sleep i lost last night
…i was going to tease you about that but then i realized i don't want to know
sex is nothing to be ashamed of, hyung
it's a beautiful act between two people, and sometimes one of those people has a big purple dildo that he can attach to a strap on
I SAID I DON'T WANNA KNOW
🤣🤣🤣
N E WAY i'm gonna sleep now
good luck writing for your sugar daddy! try writing him some porn to see if he'll pay you more!
