[472/547] — until we meet again, jungkook ♡

hey, play it loud!

Agust D '대취타'

Stop obsessing over how many chapters you can finish this month. Stop panicking about how long your novel will take to write.

Focus on today. Just today. Can you write 200 words? 500? One solid paragraph? Cool. Do that. Then do it again tomorrow.

You don’t need to finish the damn book in one sitting. You just need to show up. One day, one page, one stubborn sentence at a time.

That’s how books are built.

That’s how writers are made.

This was something I was think too, you put it into words.

You know, I'm really really curious to see how post-enlistment BTS is going to sound thematically-wise.

In these past 2/3 years, they all had the chance to get uncomfortably honest and, for lack of a better term, liberal, in the way they explore their own sound, in a way we got to see very little of previously. We got the rapline fleshing out their work, and the vocal line braving into full-fledged solo stuff for the first time.

Hoseok, who keeps refining and pushing the boundaries of his sound. Who found his footing and is making it his own. The boy who was born for the stage finally gets to be on the spotlight as himself, standing on the shoulders of BTS's j-hope but going back to his roots as Hoseok.

Yoongi and Joon, who already have an incredibly rich discography, and are digging deeper into themselves - there's healing, there's catharsis, there's grief for a past self and hope for a new one. Between Yoongi's Suchwita and Joon's work on RPWP, there's a lot of conversations about life as an artist and as an ordinary person, about mental health and identity, the creative process, about leaving your youth behind and coming to terms with adulthood and the loneliness it brings.

Jin, Jimin and Jungkook who have finally ventured into longer bodies of work, who have finally got to explore who they are (as musical artists) outside and beyond the Bangtan umbrella. Jin especially with this upcoming tour and all the entertainment content he's been a part of, and gets to do things his own way.

Tae, who went the other way and invested in his relationships, who showed us more of himself not through music, but through the way he conducts himself with his friends, outside of the stage.

As Bangtan, they have always been very vocal about all of these, but it's the first time they all got to live life aa creatives on their own. There is a newer, better collective understanding of themselves and each other, and a new layer of maturity and transparency, which has been beautiful to witness it unfold.

I'm so very looking forward to see all of this new knowledge and experience being brought into BTS, and how the new chapter will reflect that once they get together again. Personally I feel like the MOTS series was the perfect mesh of their individual identities and sounds (which makes sense since it was the last Big Thing they did pre-covid that wasn't just a compilation of things like Proof. BE was great but had a very distinct sound and purpose under the Covid context), and if their recent solo work is anything to go by, we are going to see a completely new version of BTS that is bound to surpass all we know from them so far.

i really have no idea what i'm doing with my life but i feel like it's so sexy of me to just keep going despite everything

Pairing: Namjoon x female reader Summary: You ran into this cute dude with even cuter dimples who keeps appearing just when you need help. Coincidence? Word Count: 1.3k Genre: College au! Fluff Rating: general Warnings: No warnings Published: 9th March 25 (reposted from old blog)

A/n: hello! This is a repost from my previous blog. So if you've seen it somewhere it's probably that. It's the first fic in my bts university series but it works totally fine as a stand alone.

You were rolling around on the bed, tired after the all-nighter you pulled to meet the deadline of your Chemistry assignment. One would say that Mr. Kim is usually sweet and to be honest you only want to see his sweet side because once he starts giving lectures on tardiness, the speed of words leaving his tongue matches with that of a bullet train's.

Snacks. Yup that's what you need right now. The best way to lift your spirits.

At this point it has become part of your routine to grab the some from the store on campus—the same one—the only exception of that was that one time you had to go run errands for a friend.

You never keep snacks stocked up at your apartment because you have a very special ability to finish two week's worth of snacks in one night and so you got up from bed, grabbed your wallet and started your trek to the convenience store.

—

The store was not that busy at this time of the day, just a few uni kids wandering around either bored out of their mind or looking for junk to fill their stomach with.

You made a beeline towards the usual location where they kept snacks, only to halt. There are stacks and stacks of cheetos here instead of your precious honey butter chips.

In confusion you looked around, wondering if you should bother the staff but that's when you catch sight of your precious chips peering down at you from the top rack. Great. Just great.

You stood on your tippy toes, while cursing your genes for making you this short, to no avail.

Jump. Let's jump.

It felt like the chips have now started to mock you from up there.

You were glaring daggers at the innocent packets when suddenly you felt a presence behind you. Then you saw a hand stretch out with ease and grab the packet effortlessly.

You looked behind and saw a mop of brown hair sitting around a tall body. Damn, you envy him or rather his height, it looks like you'll just keep on staring at those chips for eternit-

"Here." He suddenly spoke up, breaking the unintentional eye contact you were locked in.

"What?" You replied in shock. Did he speak to you?

"Here. Take these. You seemed in a bit of trouble there."

"Oh. Ah thank you."

He just smiled in response. Dimples. He has dimples. Cute.

"I'm Kim Namjoon, by the way." He offered his hand. You took it immediately and told him your name.

You were about to turn back but he spoke up again. "Physics major, senior year. And you?"

"English major. Senior year." You replied.

"Mrs. Yu's class?"

"Yeah."

"Oh same. I'm in her class too."

"Really? I never saw you there."

"Well you do tend to get immersed in you notebook the moment you take your seat, forgetting to eve look at your surrounding." He joked with a light laugh. It was pretty.

"Oh." You got a little red faced, it's not like you meant to ingnore him, or anyone, but still you laughed along with him"I'll try to be more attentive maybe? I should be going now. See you at class maybe?"

"Yeah. Sure." And with that you returned back to your apartment to start another twenty eight pages of reading.

—

Just when you thought you forgot about the incident at store and the guy with dimples. You saw him again.

And again you were struggling and he had to come rescue you. Only this time you were trying to collect your papers that you oh so graciously dropped on the floor.

"Hey, you alright?" You saw a shadow just above you. You looked up, staring directly at the concern filled brown eyes belonging to none other than Namjoon.

"Yeah." You quickly replied and continued collecting the papers.

He squat down beside you and started helping. "You sure? It looked a pretty hard fall." Oh yeah, with those papers, you managed to drop yourself on the floor too.

He just had to be the one seeing all this. Great. You just ruined your image in front of one of the cutest guy you've ever seen.

After all of the mess was under control you broke the silence, "so, where were you headed?"

"Just the library. Can't put off the English assignment any longer."

"Oh, same. Haven't finished it either?"

"Nope." He said and then a little hesitantly, "Maybe we can go and work on it together? I mean if you want to..."

"I think that would be a good idea. I would really appreciate some push. Let's go." You agreed because honestly you were going to fall asleep if you were left alone and you definitely wouldn't mind some company.

Namjoon proved to be a pretty good study partner. He was helpful and cracked some jokes from time to time so you were never bored either. You have to admit, you actually enjoyed his company.

—

You can't focus on chemistry anymore. Why did you even chose this subject in the first place!? It was a Wednesday, not a day you usually go for your snacks refill. But you really needed some energy right now if you had any hopes of surviving Chemistry.

You entered the store and went straight to the snack racks. You were about to turn around when you heard a familiar voice.

Namjoon. And...

The store worker.

"Are you seriously going to do this every other day now?" She said with an annoyed tone. It was the girl who usually manned the counters.

"You can't tolerate this tiny inconvenience for your friend?" It was Namjoon and he was...

Wait why was he moving the honey butter chips on the top rack?

"Just pass me the packets, will you?" She just sighed and did as was told.

"You know, instead of doing this, maybe you could tell her that you like her and just ask her out like a normal person?" She said. Suddenly, everything hit you at once, the sudden change in snack location and some of the other incidents. It made sense. This guy liked you?

You quietly went near the blonde haired girl and tapped her shoulder, putting a finger on your lips. She quickly caught up to the situation and handed you the chip packets and left.

All the while Namjoon was busy in his own world, "You know how I can be. I don't know if she likes me or not. She didn't even noticed me until what? four days ago?" Six days. "What if she had rejected me?" Namjoon was blabbering all the while you were silently handing him the packets. "This was the only way I knew how to make my existence known and maybe start a friendship? I got tired of just glancing at her from across the class room and here at the shop when she would come every other day-" Namjoon halted.

He had reached for the last packet while talking and when you didn't released it, keeping a tight grip, he turned around.

Marbles. That's the only way you can describe his wide and beautiful eyes right now as the pale ceiling light hit his orbs just right.

He was shocked and maybe mortified. Were you going to stop talking to him now? Or worse hate him?

You didn't uttered a word and just turned around.

After a few steps you stop and looked over your shoulder. He was still staring at you with wide eyes. You almost laughed.

"Did you know the sunset looks really beautiful from the park near the art building. We might be able to catch it if we start moving now." You said nonchalantly. Then added "Maybe we can share these too." You shook the packet in your hand and started walking towards the cash counter.

After a moment of freezing up, Namjoon finally came to his senses and followed you out with a sheepish smile on his face.

You two exited with you having a suppressed grin on your face and him with a cheeky smile on his face as the wind ruffled his hair.

—

Really, the sunset was beautiful. But maybe less than what had started blooming between the two of you on that day.

Thank you for reading!

so it turns out that time actually does go by faster as you get older. just like how adults told me it would when i was younger. pisses me off

hey, just as a btw, a fic or a series not uploading for a year doesn't mean its abandoned.

Sometimes the authors have shit going on, other wips, or! it just needs to sit and marinate for a bit. Collecting all the flavor and details it wouldn't have otherwise.

it's okay for updates to take a while.

And if you're impatient? Why not leave a nice comment telling us (the author(s)) what you love about the fic or series? say that you love it, and are "waiting eagerly for the next chapter" and/or that you "would love to see x or y happen because it would mean-"

This could be a new fandom vibe because of all the "i have to drop this while people are still interested" energy, but its not universal, and i don't believe its good for the fandom ecosystem.

Have patience, and have compassion. Remember that authors are human and these fics? (or comics, animatics, whatever) This is our art. We care about it just as much, if not more than you.
