a/n: I wrote this drabble for a request that got deleted a while back, but here it is edited and revamped and ready to be released into the world.
"Fuck Jungkook, you fucking jerk!"
Images of his stupid, pretty face flash behind your eyes as your head falls against the shower wall. Hot water hits your skin, dripping down your body, the curves of your chest and waist, and trails off your wrist. Your fingers aren't very big or long -- not like his -- but you'll be damned before you verbally admit how desperate you are to have his fingers inside you.
It's shameful to fantasize about your worst enemy while pleasuring yourself in the shower. Maybe you're sick or maybe he's just that fucking hot. Either way, if anyone found out just how often you think about him in this way, your entire life would be over. No one does this, but the opportunity of Jungkook kneeling between your legs and responsibly sopping up the mess he's caused makes you shudder with anticipation.
Softly closing your eyes, you can picture how he might feel against you, where he might kiss, how he might touch you. Are you insane to want that? After everything he's done to you? Maybe. Probably. Fuck you don't know.
Spreading your fingers, you attempt to stretch your already sore cunt until you feel a sharp sting. Is he this big? Bigger? You place your thumb over your clit to numb the pain, sighing his name as you feel yourself nearing a beautiful high.
It's no use. You've never been able to cum on your own. Not once. It's painfully upsetting that the only person who could possibly make you cum is the only person you would drop dead before asking for help.
You've turned it into a little game though, for loss of a better alternative. Jungkook is so the type to edge you on, you just know it. He'd tease you relentlessly with his body just like he teases you with his words. And hell, you love that headcannon.
He'd be leaning over you, your body writhing with pleasure after hours and hours of being trapped beneath him, clenching around his massive cock as it pulses inside you. His teeth would be on your neck, biting like he's trying to eat you and leaving behind bruises that spell his name on your skin. With a cocky smirk and a snap of his hips, he'd always hit that perfect spot, always. Because he knows you, he knows your body, he knows what you like and how you like it. And after you've begged enough to please him, he might just give you what you want.
"...please," you beg absolutely no one in particular, "let me cum, damn it."
"You promise to be a good girl?"
Shit you can actually hear him now, his smooth voice like acid in your ears sending waves through your body as it mixes with the faint patter of the shower. Poisonous but you like it.
"Yes! I promise, I'll be a good girl for you, Jungkook, so let me, ahhh, let me cum all over your dick."
He hisses, "I don't know, this seems kinda fast. Don't you think we should at least go on a date or something first?"
Wait a second.
You pick up your head and widen your eyes to see him leaning against the foggy, full body mirror across from your shower with a ridiculously cocky tongue poking the inside of his cheek.
You're petrified. He straight up laughs.
"What are you doing here?!"
His expression falls. "I live here, remember? Or did your dumbass brain forget I pay half the rent."
You roll your eyes and cut the water, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around yourself. "Go away, Jungkook."
"But you were calling for me," he bites his lip, following you around the apartment as you collect clothes from the dyer and lotion from the closet.
"I wasn't calling for you."
"Then what were you doing?" he asks with a sly smile. "Sounded like begging to me. Sounded nice."
Your cheeks heat up, the painful throbbing between your legs hasn't stopped since you left the bathroom and this is not helping either. Stopping in front of your vanity, you attempt not to let your head explode.
"You were thinking about me in the shower."
"I was not."
"Liar."
He doesn't touch you but he does get as close as possible, leaning over your shoulder like a damn serial killer or something, hot breath fanning your ear and hands hovering over your towel, just waiting for you to give him the go to rip it off.
"I think about you too. At night, when I'm alone in my bed and I can't fall asleep. I think about you, what you sound like, what you taste like. Fuck I wanna know what you taste like so bad."
He's mere inches from touching your skin, arm coming around your frame to the front of your body, hovering just in front your legs, fingers lightly tracing the edge of your towel. You can feel your resolve breaking.
"I hate you," you sigh, closing your eyes to highten the feeling of his presence.
He chuckles, "The feeling is mutual. But does that mean we can't make each other feel good? You seemed awfully close in the shower, I'm sure it wouldn't take much. Let me help you." His lips ghost the shell of your ear and even though he still isn't directly touching you, your body feels sparks everywhere he hovers.
"Just one time?"
"Just one time," he promises.
"Just your fingers."
"Just my fingers."
His hand disappears inside your towel, soft digits poking at the crease between your clenched thighs until you separate them willingly. It only takes one touch and you gasp, every nerve ending in your body lighting up like fireworks. It's so much better than you even imagined, his middle finger sliding over your slit before flicking your clit with expertise, as if he's always known you. When he thrusts two fingers inside, you bend at the will of his touch, falling into his chest and reaching behind your head to hold onto him.
He doesn't mind. Dipping his lips into your neck, it's the perfect placement for you to grip his hair and pull each time the hilt of his palm rubs against your clit and his fingers thrust deep inside your soaking hole. He reaches deeper than you ever could, stretching you perfectly. Even though he promised just his fingers, you imagine this is how he would prep you to take his dick.
Oh, and he would have to prep you. You can tell that much just from the feel of him pressing into your ass. He's swollen inside his sweats, painful and obviously in need. But he doesn't grind, doesn't roll his hips. He just holds you flush against him, a solid support for your weakening knees that threaten to collapse beneath you. He stays focused on getting you off because you begged for his fingers so nicely. It's the least he should do for such a good girl.
Just like he said, it doesn't take much. Your pussy clenches around his fingers as your orgasm rips through your body, subtle waves pulsing from your stomach to the tips of your toes. You let out a strangled moan of his name, causing a wicked smile to grace his lips. His fingers fuck you through it all, coated in your juices and sliding over your clit easily until your trembling from overstimulation.
"Too much," you whimper, breathless when he continues to abuse your poor bundle of nerves.
"You couldn't cum, could you?"
"What?"
"In the shower. You touched yourself for so long but you couldn't do it on your own. I touched you for five minutes and you cream like that? You need me, admit it."
His words crush you but he's right. Even now, as he suddenly pulls his hand away, you can feel your walls still spasming in earnest begging for his fingers to return, or even better, for his cock to fill you up.
He watches you twist around to face him. Slowly, you look at him with deep eyes sinking into his gaze and a voiceless question on your lips.
"Say it," he commands. "Say you need me to make you cum."
It's pointless. You caved. He touched you. You let him. You liked it. But still. There's something in his eyes that has you pausing. A hunger. Restrains that aren't doing much as this point, they're bound to snap any second as he leans closer, eyes fanning over your face and bouncing between your lips and your nose.
Your towel drops to the ground. "I need you."
He scans your body up and down, swallowing hard when he see the absolute mess between your legs dripping down your thigh. He wants to touch you again, but stops.
"Just my fingers?"
He needs you to say it, give him permission to use more, do more. When his tongue pokes out and wets his lips, you get an idea of what he's thinking.
"No." You place his hands on your ass and urge him to give a tight squeeze. "Said you wanna know how I taste. Wanna know what your name sounds like when I'm filled with your cock, don't you?"
There's a physically obvious effect your words have on him. With his fingers digging into your ass and pulling you roughly against his body now, his dick straining against his sweats and poking between your thighs. He sighs, deep like gravel and then inhales a sharp hiss as his hips grind against you and his teeth nibble at the sensitive skin of your bottom lip.
"Just one time?"
"Just one time."

Youâre five, cowering behind his motherâs legs, sniffing as tears stream down your face. In front of you both stands Jungkook, thereâs remorse written all over his face as his mother stares him down with hands on her hips and a look that just screams that this is only the beginning of his punishment.Â
ââApologize to Y/N right now Jungkook, or Iâll have your father have a word with you,ââ she threatens with a stern tone, making her son quickly shake his head no. ââYou need to learn how to share your toys.ââÂ
You peek behind her lanky leg and find the slightly older kid looking at you with narrowed eyes, ââIâm sorry, Y/N.ââ He apologizes with a bow, but heâs obviously displeased with the whole ordeal.Â

It seems like everyone around you is either already in love, or in the process of falling, and while normally you couldnât give a damn, finding out the co-worker youâve had a teensy crush on is dating someone else at the office seems to sucker punch you right in the gut. Itâs stupid, and youâre irritated at yourself, but you canât seem to shake out of the funk youâve fallen face first in.
Feeling lonely and heartsore, and mad for no reason, during drinks with your best friend you spot a man at the bar. Tequila confident, you make your way over to the stranger, and successfully one thing leads to another. The next morning you leave before heâs woken up, feeling satisfied in one way, but still as discontented as ever. Telling yourself it was an inebriated mistake, you quickly try to forget about it.
Only, three weeks later that night comes back to haunt you â in a very unescapable wayâŠ

Summary: Â When your best friend Taehyung tells you he has the perfect thing to help you get over a broken heart, youâre surprised to learn he means dodgeball, the beloved game of sociopathic gym teachers everywhere. But even more surprising is the way you find comfort in the game, and so much more, as you fall into the rush with the help of another teammate - his brother, Seokjin.
A/N:Â Happy belated birthday, Jin! This was written as part of the Catch of the Century collab, hosted by MVPs @raplinesmoon @joheunsaram and @kithtaehyung!
Sooooo this underwent a few rewrites and then my life blew up as the December deadline got closer and then I decided to do Kinkmas because I'm just a gal who can't say no. I knew I could either rush to get this done, be upset at how shoddily written it is, and then hate myself for putting out something I wasn't proud of just to meet the deadline, orrrrr I could be kind to myself and recognize that I am a human and not a machine and sometimes despite my best efforts I fall short, and release it as a two-parter. Et voilĂ ! Here is part one.
Unbeta'd as usual.
Please don't be a silent reader đ„ș I'd love to know what you think! đ
Masterlist đ Find me on AO3 đ Part Two
âDodgeball. You want to play dodgeball?âÂ
You stare at your roommate incredulously. Taehyung nods.Â
âDodgeball. The kids game? The beloved sport of sociopathic PE teachers everywhere? That dodgeball?âÂ
He canât be serious. Neither you nor he are the athletic type. But from the solemn look on his face as you continue to sputter in surprise, you know heâs not joking. Taehyung is many things - an artist, a daydreamer, the kindest soul youâve ever met and your best friend of five years and counting - but heâs not a liar.Â
Still, when heâd walked into your room five minutes ago, yanked back the curtains to let the late-morning light in, and told you to get up because he had an idea, youâd assumed heâd wanted you to go with him down to the coffee shop on the corner so he could covertly admire his latest crush, the cute barista with the pink hair. Dodgeball was nowhere near the possibilities your mind conjured up.Â
Taehyung sighs. âYes. Dodgeball. Thereâs an adult league that plays at the rec center on Saturdays and I want to join. And I want you to join, too.â He flops down on your bed, nudging you over so he can lie next to you, ignoring your grumbles as you make room. âI think it would be good for you to get out a little. Get some fresh air.â
âI have plenty of fresh air,â you inform him, gesturing to your bedroom window, which is currently cracked about an inch. It might be spring, but the chill that clings in the air still feels like winter.Â
âUh-huh. Sure you do. But out of curiosity, whenâs the last time you actually left the apartment, besides for work?â
âUm.â Heâs got you there. Casting your mind back, you canât even remember the last time you left the safety of your home to do anything other than clock in at the bartending job where you both work. âDoes going to the mailbox count?â
It doesnât, and he doesnât even need to respond, just gives you his signature exasperated look, but the warmth in his brown eyes shimmers just beneath as always. âPumpkin,â he begins, using one of the many silly nicknames he loves to address you by, knowing how much you hate cutesy stuff like that, âyou canât hide in here forever.âÂ
An instant rebuttal floats through your mind. You absolutely can hide in your room for the rest of your life, if you so choose. The internet brings the world to your fingertips. Everything can be delivered these days. Okay, true, youâll still need to leave for work, but thatâs only until you finish your novel and net yourself a publishing deal. Then you can quit your crappy bartending job, build yourself the perfect blanket nest, and become the hermit you were always meant to be.Â
Joining a dodgeball team doesnât fit into that plan. Itâs going to require you to go outside. Outside is dangerous.Â
Outside is where he is.Â
At the sharp pang that stabs your gut, you turn to your roommate with a grimace. âI donât know. Iâm not really a⊠sportsâŠperson - and neither are you, frankly. And itâs a team sport, which means others will be relying on you. You really think this is something you can commit to? I mean, remember the gym?â
Last year, the two of you had joined a gym together at his suggestion, which you both had visited a grand total of one time. He later confessed heâd only signed up because a hot customer at the bar had convinced him to after a long evening of flirting. That short-lived commitment ended the moment Taehyung arrived at the gym and discovered that the hot patronâs promise to give Tae a full-body workout was not, to Taeâs disappointment, a euphemism, but only a sales pitch.
Again, Taehyung doesnât respond to your question. Instead, he uses the one weapon in his arsenal that destroys you every time the two of you argue over what to do.
With a tilt of his head, Taehyung flashes you his big sad puppy dog eyes.
You sigh. âGoddamn it. Fine. Fine. Letâs play dodgeball.âÂ
Immediately, Taehyungâs countenance changes, a brilliant, boxy smile crossing his face as he grins at your caving. âGreat! Sign-ups are actually this afternoon, sooooo⊠up and at âem, cupcake! Letâs get moving.â He jumps up, holding out his hands, and you begrudgingly let him pull you out of bed. âYouâre definitely going to need a shower before we meet the other players.âÂ
âHave I ever told you how annoying you are?â you mutter as you follow him down the hallway towards your tiny kitchen to brew some coffee, knowing youâll need the caffeine if youâre going to be socializing with strangers this afternoon.Â
He beams again, tossing his dark bangs out of his eyes. âAll the time.â
The rec center is only a few blocks from your apartment, but youâd never stepped foot inside before Taehyung drags you down there to sign up for the league. Still, thereâs a familiar scent when you walk into the building, the smell of rubber mats and sweat mingling together, stirring up memories of PE classes from grade school. The flashbacks make you shudder.Â
Taehyung shakes you out of your memories as he steers you towards a folding table thatâs been set up in the lobby. âCome on, we check in here.â A friendly woman in a purple tracksuit sitting at the table waves you over.Â
âHiya! Are you team leaders or free agents?â She laughs at your blank stares. âOkay, Iâll take that to mean youâre not here to sign up an existing team, but youâre free agents in search of a team to join!âÂ
âOh, yeah, thatâs us,â Taehyung nods sagely, as if he knew that.Â
âGreat! If youâll just fill out these formsâŠâ she hands you both a sheet of paper, âI will process your fees, and then I can point you in the direction of some teams looking to add some new players!âÂ
Forms? Fees? This is more complicated than youâd expected. Youâd figured youâd just walk in and play, like joining a pick-up game of basketball or something similar that people who like sports might do. âSo, um, how does this work?âÂ
The smile never leaves her face as Ms. Purple Tracksuit explains that youâll be joining a team for the next ten weeks to play against other teams in a tournament ending in a championship match between the two best teams. âAnd the fee covers your uniform!âÂ
âA uniform?â
She leans forward, whispering conspiratorially. âDonât get too excited. Itâs just a t-shirt.âÂ
After you hand in your form and make Taehyung pay your fee, Ms. Purple Tracksuit tells you to head into the main gymnasium, where the team leaders looking for new recruits are waiting. Thereâs another dose of dĂ©jĂ vu as you enter the room to find several clusters of players standing around, sizing you up as you walk in. It reminds you of being a kid, waiting on the sidelines while the other kids whisper to one another about who to pick.
âUh, this is a little intense,â you whisper to Taehyung, clinging to his elbow as he blithely strolls between the groups. âI feel like Iâm being judged.âÂ
âNah, this is a numbers thing,â he says. According to Ms. Purple Tracksuit, teams consist of six to ten players, so thereâs a good chance youâll be able to find a team together. If youâre picked at all, that is. âWhatever team needs two players will take us, Iâm sure.âÂ
Your roommate just wanders through life with a natural confidence that youâve rarely seen in others. You suppose it makes sense, given how handsome and talented he is. Still irks you a bit.Â
âAnd what makes you say that?â You scan the room, taking in the other players. There are several others who wear similar expressions to your own, looking a little overwhelmed. It strangely gives you hope that you wonât be the only one here who doesnât know what sheâs doing.Â
And then there are those who look like they live, eat, and breathe dodgeball, like the two tall, muscle-bound gods to your left, both wearing a shirt that says âRock the Balls.â Team leaders, you assume.Â
âUh-huh, sure,â Taehyung replies distractedly, and you frown, following his gaze to see what caught his attention, since heâs clearly not listening, only to spy pink hair and a gorgeous smile that you recognize from your favorite coffee shop.
Grabbing his arm, you force your roommate to look at you as you hiss his name. âTaehyung. Tell me weâre not here because of that barista!âÂ
âHmm?â Taeâs starry-eyed expression is all the answer you need. Of course. Of course he dragged you here so he could flirt with his crush. How did you not see this coming? âWhat? Noooo, I told you, I want to play dodgeball! But isnât it a nice coincidence that Jimin is here?âÂ
âRight. Coincidence. Youâre unbelievable.â With an exasperated sigh, you give him a push. âWell, go talk to your man. See if his team needs two new players.âÂ
Taehyung doesnât need telling twice, happily bouncing towards the barista. And now youâre alone in a gymnasium full of strangers, feeling left out again. As you slowly revolve in place, looking for somewhere to hide and wait for Taehyung to return, one of the muscle-bound gods approaches.Â
âHey,â he says, giving you a little head nod. âYou looking for a team?âÂ
Technically, you suppose you are, but you should probably see if Taehyung will be dragging you on to Jiminâs team with him first. But as you glance at the god, with his wavy dark hair and silver lip ring nestled in the corner of a pair of rather pink lips, youâve the urge to say yes. He and his buddy are mind-meltingly hot.Â
âIâm not sure. Iâm here with a friend,â you finally respond. Super glad Taehyung forced you to shower today.
The god nods, eyes dragging over your frame. If you touched your cheeks right now, youâre pretty sure theyâd be blazing hot under his gaze. âThatâs cool. Iâm Jungkook, by the way, and this is Namjoon.â He nods to the other god, whose lips quirk in a cool half-smile.Â
âSup,â he rumbles, jerking his chin in your direction. He runs a hand through his short, dark hair, fingers scratching over the lines buzzed into the sides. âWe run Rock the Balls. And weâre looking for two new members.â
âActually, thatâs gonna be three new members,â a familiar voice declares behind you. Your eyes widen before you spin to find yet another handsome man behind you. But this one you know well.
âJin-ah!â Throwing your arms around his neck, you attack Seokjin with a hug, grinning as his squeaky laugh echoes through the gymnasium. Itâs been nearly a year since youâve seen Taehyungâs older brother, but he looks mostly the same - the same warm brown eyes surrounded by ever-deepening laugh lines, the same perfect cupidâs bow twitching as he smiles as you. The only difference is that his hair is a little shaggier now, a fluffy brown cloud that bounces when you finally release him.Â
âI could get used to a hello like that,â Seokjin grins.
âWhen did you get home?â you ask, vaguely aware that the gods have drifted away. âAnd what are you doing here?â
âGot in two days ago. I wouldâve stopped by to see you and Tae-yah, but I needed to get my land legs back first.â Seokjin probably means that pretty literally, since heâs spent the last year on a research station in the middle of the ocean. As a marine biologist, he works at a local lab run by a federal agency, studying the effects of ocean pollution on various species of fish. Occasionally, he has to do field work, but this last round was his longest stint yet, taking him away from home for nearly twelve full months. âWhen I texted him this morning, he mentioned that he was joining a dodgeball team, and I⊠well, I had to check that out for myself.â You both laugh. âSo I thought Iâd surprise you.â
âYou definitely did that!â you confirm. âI want to hear all about your research trip. Did you find anything interesting? Discover any new species?â You lean in excitedly. âDid you finally find some mermaids??â
Seokjin tuts. âAish, how many times do I have to tell you, Iâm not a deep sea diver, Iâm just a guy pulling water samples off a dock?âÂ
âYeah, whatever, Jin Cousteau.âÂ
He rolls his eyes. âI was really hoping that that nickname wouldâve died out in the last year.âÂ
âOh no, that oneâs for life. And listen, you can downplay your job all you want, but I know the deal. You just canât tell me anything because the government forces you to keep those secrets locked down. But Iâll get the truth out of you someday.âÂ
âOh?â Seokjin cocks an eyebrow. âAnd just how d-â
âHyung!!âÂ
âOof!â Seokjin grunts as your roommate launches himself at his brother, tackling him in a bear hug. When the affectionate embrace becomes a wrestling match in the middle of the gym, you feel a presence at your side, and turn to find Jimin and another man watching the melee with a surprised look on their faces.Â
âDonât worry,â you reassure them, âtheyâre always like this.âÂ
âUh, okay,â the barista chuckles. âUm, I wanted to introduce you to my friend, Hoseok. Hoseok-ah, this is YN, Taehyung-ahâs roommate.âÂ
âHey.â The other man grins a smile that can only be described as a beam of pure sunshine, and you wonder if this dodgeball league is for models only, because youâre basically surrounded by nothing but gorgeous people. Â
âHi. Um, and that is Seokjin, Tae-yahâs brother,â you gesture to the skirmish.Â
âMmmice to meet eww!â Seokjinâs response is a little muffled by Taehyungâs armpit, but he manages to wave.Â
âHyung, why didnât you tell me you were going to be here?â Taehyung whines.
âAnted oo urprise!â Seokjin finally untangles himself from his brotherâs headlock. âWanted to surprise you,â he says again, more clearly.Â
âWeâre starting a new team, and we could use three players, if youâd all like to join us?â Hoseok asks.Â
âAre you sure you want this on your team?â you reply, gesturing to Taehyung and Seokjin.
âI think we can handle them,â Jimin grins, and Taehyungâs smile turns blinding. âBesides, we could use that energy on the court!âÂ
âYeah,â Hoseok agrees. âAlso, weâre a brand new team, so weâre desperate!âÂ
âThatâs my favorite word.â Seokjinâs shoulders shake as he cracks himself up. âWeâre in!â
Hoseok smiles. âFantastic. Welcome to the Seven Slamurai!â
Once youâve finished signing up for Hoseokâs team, you, Taehyung, and Seokjin decide to grab some dinner together. Another thing about Seokjin that hasnât changed during his time away is his voracious appetite, so you take him to an all-you-can-eat bbq restaurant not far from the rec center.Â
As the soju starts flowing and the plates start piling up, Seokjin tells you about his year on the ocean. He starts out with a disclaimer, warning you that his research isnât interesting, and heâs not entirely wrong. Most of it goes over your head, since itâs been years since you last took a biology course. But itâs not really what heâs talking about that keeps you focused on him, itâs how he talks about it that holds your attention. Youâre fascinated by his passion for his work. His dedication to studying ocean life in order to preserve and protect it. It makes you wish you had a cause of your own to defend.
And then, of course, as the liquor catches up with him, he tells you all the gossip about the other crew members on his station - the hookups, the fights, all the little scandals that brought the drama to the high seas. Seokjinâs always been a good storyteller, knowing just what to say to keep you and Taehyung laughing.
âBut what about you?â you ask when Seokjin pauses to stuff some pork belly in his face. âDid you have any flings with any of the other scientists? Hmmm? Dip your fishing rod in company waters?âÂ
âGross,â Taehyung mumbles around a mouthful of beef bulgogi.
Seokjin shakes his head. âNah. I didnât click with anyone there like that. Honestly, we spent so much time together each day that by the end of it, I was dying to get away from most of them, which was really hard to do since we were basically stranded together in the middle of nowhere! So I spent a lot of my downtime hiding in my bunk, reading old research papers that I found in the stationâs library.âÂ
âYou read research papers for fun?â Taehyung looks horrified.Â
Downing another shot of soju, you lean towards Seokjin, licking the peach-flavored drops from your lips. âCome on. Youâre telling me you went an entire year without hooking up with anyone? Not even a little making out?âÂ
âNope.â Seokjin pops the âp.â At your incredulous look, he laughs, lifting his shoulders. âWhat? A yearâs not that long! I made it just fine.âÂ
âYeah,â Taehyung agrees, âitâs not that long. Besides, he was probably jerking off nonstop.âÂ
Soju flies out of Seokjinâs nose as you and Taehyung burst into raucous laughter. Seokjin scolds his brother, who argues back as he always does, telling the elder to loosen up, while you sit quietly, chin in hand, smiling to yourself as you watch the fireworks, realizing how nice it is to have Seokjin home again.Â
He and Taehyung are pretty much a package deal. Youâd met Taehyung first during your senior year of college. At the time, Seokjin was finishing up his graduate program at the same school, and his plans to move out of his and Taehyungâs apartment upon graduation and roll right into some field work had Taehyung feeling like he was being left high and dry. Youâd ended up becoming Taehyungâs new roommate that summer, and then it had turned out that Taehyungâs worries were all for naught, because Seokjin still spent most of his free time hanging out at his (now your) place, anyway.Â
You didnât mind then and you donât mind now. Seokjinâs a good balance to all of Taehyungâs extremes. Where Taehyung has his head in the clouds, Seokjinâs feet are firmly planted in the ground. Taehyung can be mercurial, even flaky sometimes, but Seokjinâs rock-steady. Theyâre not complete opposites in everything, though. Just like his brother, Seokjin has a big heart.Â
Once Seokjin runs out of steam, Taehyung shrugs. âIâm just saying, being with someone isnât the only way to be satisfied. Just look at me. Iâm single and Iâm happy.âÂ
He looks almost smug as he states this, and something inside you snaps. The last thing you want to hear from Taehyung is another speech about loving yourself. Youâve heard plenty of those over the last few weeks. You do love yourself.Â
You just wanted someone else to love you, too.
Pointing your chopsticks at him, you frown. âOh, please donât start! One, you were just dating a guy last month, so itâs not like youâve gone an entire year without being with someone, and two, you literally just dragged me onto a freaking dodgeball team so you could start dating another! So I donât want to hear any platitudes about embracing your singleness or anything like that.âÂ
Taehyung is silent for a moment after your outburst. âSorry,â he finally says, poking at the remains of the kimchi on his plate. âI wasnât thinking.â
Seokjinâs gaze bounces between the two of you. âI feel like Iâm missing something.âÂ
Taehyung sees you nibbling on your bottom lip and he turns to his brother. âI can explain. Buttercup here-â
âButtercup can speak for herself,â you interject, âand donât call me that.â With a sigh, you slug back another shot of soju and look at Seokjin. Heâs waiting patiently to hear what you have to say. âI was⊠kinda seeing someone a few months ago. And I thought that I had something with them, and it turned out that I was wrong. They didnât feel the same way I did, soâŠâ You trail off, not sure how to say âso I spent the last few months crying in my room over a broken heart.â
Luckily, Seokjin spares you this confession, nodding sympathetically. âI gotcha,â he says simply, and you nod back, stuffing some rice into your mouth so you donât cry at the warmth in his expression.Â
âI donât know why youâre being so cryptic about who it was,â Taehyung frowns. âSheâs talking about Yoongi.â
Something passes over Seokjinâs face quickly, so fast you almost miss it as you smack your roommate on his arm. He yelps in shock.
âWhat? He was going to find out eventually, theyâre best friends!âÂ
You know this, but it doesnât make you feel any better. Seokjin is actually the one who introduced the two of you, at the party he threw before he left for his research trip. You remember that night very clearly, can close your eyes and picture Yoongi standing there, with silver hair and silver hoops in his ears, dark cat eyes shimmering as Seokjin gave him your name, and you feel that same swoop in your stomach as you did then. Only now it comes with a painful twist of your heart as well.Â
Falling for Yoongi happened so quickly. Youâd immediately bonded over a shared love of hip-hop and whisky, spending the party huddled together on the couch, snarking over Seokjinâs music collection and liquor selection, talking until the sun came up and Seokjin started throwing everyone out. As you left, youâd asked Seokjin for Yoongiâs number. But before you even entered it into your phone, a text appeared from Yoongi himself. He confessed heâd asked Seokjin for your number as well.
âI havenât talked to Yoongi-yah in a while.â Seokjin glances at you. âYou know how hard it was for me to keep in touch. Thereâs no cell phone reception in the middle of the ocean, and the internet seemed to come and go at will. At least I heard from you two occasionally, but I didnât hear from Yoongs except on my birthday, and we didnât⊠you didnât come up.â He looks apologetic as he says those last words, and your heart pangs again.
âItâs okay, why would I have?â you snort. âLike I said, it turned out to be a big bunch of nothing between us.â Despite what you thought. What you felt.
A server appears at the table to drop off the bill, and you welcome the interruption, wanting to go home and crawl into the safety of your bed again, feeling like it was a mistake to leave in the first place. Taehyung and Seokjin fight over who is going to pay, with Taehyung winning, practically throwing his card at the server, but youâre too distracted by your thoughts to enjoy the scene.Â
Texting with Yoongi had turned into late night conversations. Going to concerts and bars to check out new musicians, doing whisky tastings and visiting distilleries. It felt like you were glued at the hip for a few months, and the more you got to know him, the harder you fell. Like the way you fell into his bed, over and over.
But nothing sticks out in your memory more than that last night, the last time you saw him, when you finally found the courage to tell him how you felt. Youâll never forget the sad look on his face. It told you everything you needed to know before he even spoke.
âButtercup?â Taehyungâs voice pulls you from your reverie. âYou ready to go?â He and Seokjin are staring at you, both on their feet already, waiting to leave.Â
With a nod, you rise, and follow them out into the night.Â
Despite the name, the Seven Slamurai consists of nine players. (When you asked why, Jimin rolled his eyes and said heâd tried to argue with Hoseok over the moniker, but Hoseok was insistent that the name stay true to his favorite movie.) In addition to Hoseok, Jimin, Seokjin, Taehyung, and yourself, there are four others at your first practice session on Monday night at the rec center - Wooshik, Sunghwan, Seojoon, and Hyungsik. You exchange a few quick greetings with your new teammates before Hoseok gestures for you all to sit on the bleachers.Â
âWelcome everyone to our first team practice!â Hoseok smiles, clapping, and you lightly clap along until you realize no one else is. âBefore we do some warm-ups, I thought Iâd take a minute to explain the rules of the game, for those of you who havenât played before.âÂ
He launches into an overview of the sport. Most of it is familiar from your school days, but there are a few things that are new, like something about a rush, and a neutral zone, and a burden ball? You glance around to see if anyone else looks confused. Most of the new guys wear bored expressions. Itâs safe to assume theyâre experienced players. To your left, Taehyung is whispering something to Jimin, completely ignoring Hoseokâs spiel.Â
At least Seokjin, on your right, seems slightly dazed by the long list of rules that Hoseokâs rattling off. Now that you think of it, youâve never seen Seokjin in any athletic context. As far as you know, he doesnât play any sports, just like you and Taehyung, and heâs not a gym rat. So you have no idea what to expect from him on the court. Maybe heâll be just as awkward as youâre expecting to be.Â
âAny questions?â Hoseok finishes up. Thereâs a moment of silence from the group, and then he claps his hands. âOkay! Then letâs warm up a little.â
You move from the bleachers to a mat on the floor and Hoseok leads everyone through a series of stretches. Itâs been a long time since youâve done any, so youâre not surprised when your toes remain fully out of your reach. Jimin, on the other hand, has folded himself in half, forehead practically touching the ground as he holds on to both feet. Turning to Seokjin to make a comment, youâre surprised to find him in a similar position.
He catches you looking. âYoga,â he explains with a wink.Â
âDamn. Maybe I should start,â you grunt, giving up.Â
âThe games are played with teams of five, which means weâll have four alternates for each match,â Hoseok explains once everyoneâs limbered up. âFor today, Iâd like us to run through a practice game, four on each side. Iâm going to stay out and watch, to help me get a feel for who might be a starter and who might be an alt.âÂ
The group splits in half, with you, Taehyung, Seokjin, and Jimin on one side, and the rest on the other. Hoseok stands at one end of the line in the middle of the court, where six balls lie waiting.Â
âOkay, ready, set!â And with a sharp blast of the whistle hanging from his neck, Hoseok brings the game to a start.Â
Immediately, Jimin and Taehyung run forward towards the center line, reaching for a ball each, while the other team mirrors their actions, rushing forward. But you? You freeze in the scramble, hands automatically coming up to shield your head. And as the first balls fly towards your side, you scream.Â
And so does Seokjin.
âShit!â you curse as one of the rubber balls bounces off your arm. Thatâs definitely going to leave a mark.Â
âFuck!â Seokjin yelps as heâs smacked in the shoulder by another ball.Â
Tweet!
The action stops as Hoseok blows his whistle. His sunny smile is gone, replaced by an intense look, eyebrows furrowed, mouth turned down. Itâs intimidating, especially since itâs aimed directly at you.
âThat was⊠not bad,â he says slowly through gritted teeth, speaking as though the words hurt him. âBut maybe this time, you two should try joining the opening rush? Remember, no one can throw a ball at you as long as youâre in the neutral zone, so youâll have time to grab and get back out of the line of fire.âÂ
He glances from you to Seokjin, who nods as you grin in embarrasment. Great, youâve already been identified as a weak player. You were hoping you could at least pretend to know what you were doing for a little while. Fly under the radar.
Taehyung wraps an arm around your waist. âCome on, ladybug, itâs not that scary. You just gotta jump in. Donât think, just go.âÂ
You shake him off with a scoff. Easy for him to say. You saw the way he was running around the court a minute ago, taking to the chaos like a duck to water. Shouldâve known heâd turn out to be a natural athlete on top of all his other annoyingly amazing traits.Â
The game restarts, and this time you make an attempt to run towards the center line, but still hesitate, flashbacks of being pelted with balls running through your brain. Why did you agree to this? You always hated dodgeball in school!Â
Seokjin, on the other hand, joins Jimin and Taehyung at the line, and scoops up a ball before dashing back to where youâre frozen. The balls start flying again, and once again youâre out before anyone else. After a few more minutes, Hoseok ends the play.Â
âThat was better!â he nods. âBut letâs try it again, and this time maybe you can make it all the way forward, huh, YN?â His tone is encouraging, but his smile seems strained.Â
As you shuffle back towards the end of the court, you nudge Jimin. âIs Hoseok okay? He looks a little stressed.âÂ
Jimin shoots you a lopsided smile. âHeâs trying not to be as⊠intense⊠as he usually gets. We got kicked off our last team because he went a little overboard with his, uh, enthusiasm during the practice matches.âÂ
The whistle blows before youâre ready, and you decide to take Taehyungâs advice, so you bolt forward without thinking, snatch up a ball, and then back away, not wanting to turn your back to the men behind you. In doing so, you catch Wooshikâs eye, and he grins coldly, winding up.Â
âShit!â you yell, jumping out of the way in time. Taehyung dives in to catch it, sending Wooshik out of the game. But youâre not safe, as Seojoon takes aim next. Seokjin is next to you, trying to decide where to throw the ball in his hand, so you duck behind him, mimicking his movements. Eventually, he realizes he has a shadow.
âAre you using me as a human shield?â He bobs to the left. You follow.
âItâs not my fault youâre so broad!â
Seokjin honks a noisy mix of delighted laughter and insulted exclamation. Seojoon tires of waiting for you to emerge from behind Seokjin, so he pitches the ball forward, a low toss heading for Seokjinâs legs. Seokjin bends gracefully to catch the difficult throw, taking Seojoon out of the game, and as Seokjin doubles over, you snap the ball in your hands towards Hyungsik, hitting him directly in the side. Another ball rolls towards your feet, so you scoop it up and nail Sunghwan dead center of his chest.
And with that triple play, your side wins, with all four players still in.
Thereâs no whistle to end the game, as Hoseokâs mouth falls open, gawking wide-eyed at you. âSheâs a sniper,â he whispers in an awed voice. Everyone turns to stare at you.Â
âWhat?â you ask, looking around. âWhat did I do now?âÂ
According to Jimin, itâs tradition for the dodgeball teams to go out for drinks after practices and matches, so after hitting the locker room, the nine of you meet up at the Pied Piper, a quiet bar around the corner from the rec center. Thank god Taehyung convinced you to bring a change of clothes. Youâd foolishly assumed you wouldnât break a sweat, but you sure as fuck had.
Since the rec center isnât that big, the practice schedules are staggered out, with only two other teams meeting on Wednesday nights - the Dodging Divas and Rock the Balls. By the time your team arrives at the bar, the others have already claimed most of the tables. As Taehyung and the others push the remaining tables together, Hoseok, Seokjin, and you sidle up to the bar to start ordering drinks.Â
Once the bartender drifts away to start pulling drafts, Hoseok turns to you with a bright smile. âCongrats, the two of you are definitely going to be starters.âÂ
To say youâre surprised would be an understatement.Â
âMe? Really?â you squeak, glancing at Seokjin, who also appears dumbfounded. âWhy?âÂ
Hoseok leans against the bartop. âLook, Iâve been playing this game for long enough to know a strong arm when I see it,â he declares solemnly, tapping your bicep with two fingers. âI think with my help, you could be one of the best snipers out there. As for you,â he nods at Seokjin, âI think your flexibility is going to come in handy, like it does for Jimin. Also, I saw the way you two were working together on the court. If we can hone your skills, youâll be an unstoppable duo for sure.â He grins. âThe rest of the league wonât know what hit them, when the Seven Slamurai come through.âÂ
The bartender returns with the first three beers of your order, and Hoseok carries them away with another nod, leaving you and Seokjin staring at each other in silence.Â
Then you both burst into laughter.Â
âIs he for real?â Seokjin asks, eyebrows raised. The bartender sets more glasses in front of you, and he grabs one, taking a long sip.Â
âI think so. I got the idea from Jimin that dodgeball means a lot to him, but wow. What he said is absolutely ridiculous, and yet⊠I do feel oddly inspired.â
âI know what you mean.â Seokjin grins. âShould we correct him, though?â
âAbout what?â
âUs working as a team. We werenât working together so much as you were hiding behind me.âÂ
His grin turns teasing, and a retort builds itself on your tongue. But before you can fire it off, a figure at the other end of the bar catches your eye. One of the Rock the Balls gods. Namjoon, maybe? He nods at you, dimple popping as his lips curl into a slight smirk. You blink, then raise one of the glasses of beer in his direction.
Seokjin follows your gaze. âFriend of yours?âÂ
âNot really. One of the other teamsâ leaders. We met at the sign up.âÂ
Seokjin hums, giving Namjoon a second look. He taps the bartop while you help yourself to one of the pints. âHey, so what you were talking about at dinner the other night⊠about Yoongi? I just wanted to say Iâm sorry.â
You shouldâve known the subject would come back up. With a little shrug, you attempt a grin, but only succeed in a grimace. âYou donât have anything to apologize for.â
âI know. But Iâve also been where you are, having feelings for someone that go unreciprocated, so⊠Iâm sorry. I know it hurts.â He pauses, gaze locked on the glass in his hand. âFor what itâs worth, I think heâs a total idiot.âÂ
âIâm not going to argue there,â you quip, letting out an airy laugh. "But I'm the one who imagined the whole thing, so really, I'm not any smarter."
He looks at you then, a sober expression on his face. âI mean it. Heâs the idiot. Not you. So just - just donât let his stupidity have any bearing on how you might think about yourself, okay?â
You blink, wondering if youâve suddenly gone completely transparent, because heâs seeing right through you. How are you not supposed to take Yoongiâs rejection as proof that youâre unlovable? If you were lovable, then wouldnât he love you?
âI⊠okay.â Nodding, you reach for the glasses that have been sitting in front of you for a few minutes. âUm. We should probably get these to the rest of the team before they get antsy.âÂ
Taehyung pats the seat next to him when you return to the group, and Seokjin takes the empty seat on your other side. âHoseok just told us the good news,â he informs you, happily grabbing one of the beers in your hand.Â
âWhat, that Jinnie and I are gonna be starters?âÂ
âThat we are gonna be starters! You, me, hyung, Jimin-ah, and Hoseok-ssi.â Taehyung beams brightly as Jimin leans across him at the mention of his name. âHe said weâll work on our teamwork next practice, so weâre ready for our first match next weekend!â Â
âOh! Well, damn, look at us go!â You lift your glass and everyone else does the same. âCheers!âÂ
âTo teamwork!â Seokjin adds, eyes crinkling as he clinks his glass against yours. You grin back before taking a big sip. Maybe youâll survive this season after all.
Youâre not going to survive this season.Â
âCome on! Faster!â
A shrill whistle blast sounds as you hit the wall, spinning around before running back towards the center line. Itâs Thursday night, so youâre at practice again. Your team has been running drills for only ten minutes now, but youâre pretty sure youâre going to die, panting terribly as your toe hits the crosses the line.
âPick it up!â Hoseok yells as you spin again, heading back for the end of the court. As your fingertips reach the wall, he blows the whistle again, and you flatten your palms, pressing your forehead against the cold cement.Â
âI did not sign up for this,â Seokjin huffs next to you. âI signed up to dodge balls. This is not dodging balls!âÂ
âAre you two okay?â Taehyung is neither panting nor huffing as he eyes you both with concern.
âHow are you not dying like us?! You donât work out!â Yelling takes up too much of your oxygen, and you sink to the ground, legs folding underneath you.Â
Taehyung shrugs. âIt was only a few running drills. Nothing to get worked up over.âÂ
Unable to respond, you settle for giving him the evil eye. You jump as Hoseokâs whistle sounds again.
âIf he doesnât stop it with that thing, Iâm gonna make him eat it,â you mutter under your breath. Seokjinâs shoulders shake with silent laughter as he reaches out a hand to pull you to your feet.Â
Hoseokâs inner drill instructor doesnât take a break when the practice game starts, alternates on one side, starters on the other. Somehow, he manages to run, catch, throw, and yell instructions the entire time, like a demented multihyphenate. It would be impressive if it werenât irritating.Â
You play a total of three rounds against the alternates. The first round is awkward, filled mostly with Hoseokâs manic shouting. At one point, he tells you to cover the right and Taehyung to flank the left, and as the two of you run to switch sides, you run smack into each other. The alternates win.
In the second round, things go better. There are no collisions, but thereâs also not much cohesion, either. You try to repeat last practiceâs winning move, ducking behind Seokjin, but heâs too unpredictable, jumping all over the place to try to catch throws, and youâre not able to keep from getting hit. Your team loses again.
When the whistle signals the end of the round, you head for the bleachers, where youâve stashed a bottle of water and a towel, having realized last practice that both items were desperately needed. The rest of your team follows.Â
âWell, this isnât working,â Hoseok sighs, fanning himself with his shirt. âTheyâre kicking our asses.â
âMaybe - and just hear me out - yelling isnât the way to motivate us?â Jimin suggests, tossing his sweat-soaked hair out of his face. You can practically see little hearts dancing in Taehyungâs eyes as he watches the motion.
Hoseokâs head twists towards his friend, but instead of swearing at him like you expect, he just stares. âIâm. Iâm doing it again, arenât I?â
Jimin claps him lightly on the shoulder. âYep.âÂ
Hoseok stares for a few more seconds, and youâre on the verge of asking if heâs okay when he finally speaks. âOkay, new plan. Letâs just go out there and, ugh, have fun, okay?â His smile doesnât quite reach his eyes as he leads Jimin and Taehyung back out onto the court.
Seokjin leans over. âIf we lose, ten bucks says he snaps and eats that whistle himself.âÂ
You laugh, gently pushing Seokjin back onto the court.Â
âHey. Should we try that shield thing again?â
âYeah,â you nod. âI mean, I was trying last round, but you were kinda all over the place.âÂ
âIâll try to be more obvious with my moves. Or I guess you can guide me? Just tell me which way to go.âÂ
You nod, and then youâre off, running for the center line as the round starts. Without Hoseok barking orders at the group, thereâs a definite shift in the atmosphere. As you stoop to sweep up a ball, quickly diving behind Seokjinâs tall frame, scoping out your next target, it hits you - not a ball, but a thought.
Youâre having fun.
Grinning wildly, you hiss âLeft!â Seokjin immediately darts left, and you line up behind him, ready and waiting. A throw from the other team goes high, and Seokjin leaps towards it, snagging the ball out of the air. As soon as you peek out from around his side, you hit Wooshik, ball bouncing off his thigh with a satisfyingly loud âthock!â
âYes!â Seokjin throws his hand out for a high five. You slap it quickly, ducking another toss. On your other side, Hoseok and Jimin make tandem catches, and the match ends with your team victorious.
âThat was so much better! I really feel like weâre an actual team now,â Hoseok beams, looking genuinely happy again. âOne more week of practice and then itâs match time!â
The others drift towards the locker rooms as Seokjin nudges you with his hip. âDid that work better for you this time?âÂ
âYeah, it did. I guess thatâs how it should always work, huh - me giving you orders and you following them blindly?â You wrap your towel around your neck, flashing him a cheeky grin.
Seokjin laughs, running his hand through his fluffy hair, which has gotten curly in the humidity from the game. Rather than spout off a snarky retort, he tugs on the ends of your towel, pulling you towards him. His deep brown eyes trail over your face, landing on your mouth, before his gaze snaps back to yours.
âThat works for me,â he murmurs, soft smile playing on his plush lips. âJust say the word and Iâll follow.âÂ
And then he walks away.Â
You stare at the locker room doorway that he disappears into for a good minute after heâs gone, mind racing. Thatâs not the first time the two of you have been that close - both Seokjin and his brother are very cuddly people, and youâve always been comfortable with showing them affection in the form of warm hugs or snuggles on the couch. Â
But whatever just happened was not that. The moment between you felt charged. Full of something like⊠possibility.Â
With a sigh, you shake off the confusing thoughts and gather your things to head for the locker room, desperately needing a shower. And a drink.
