Summary
“a muggle?” snaps the man. “you brought a muggle into this house?”
“i didn’t mean to!” exclaims jeongguk for the second time, and it feels too much like the first time, and yoongi feels himself small and small, feeling so strange about being spoken about like an object or an animal. doesn’t like the way the man says muggle, like it’s filthy.
“we need to go now,” jeongguk’s mother calls, and yoongi is still confused, has no idea what’s happening or why they’re leaving, but—jeongguk’s father looks at him. and yoongi looks back.
somewhere deep in the house, a siren goes off.
“fine,” says the man. “they’re here already. he’s coming with us.”
(or: jeongguk is from a magical family; yoongi is a muggle. they fall in love anyway.)

Summary
“don’t you want me to be cool and make friends?”
“no,” says yoongi, snatching the lunchbox out of jeongguk’s hands and setting it back on the shelf with the others. “humans are despicable creatures and the less you interact with them, the better.”
jeongguk still hasn’t let go of him, and yoongi glances down at him again to see the boy peering up at him with wide, wide eyes, pout still in place. “i’m a human, hyung,” he says, as though yoongi could ever forget.
“except for you, baby,” says yoongi, patting jeongguk’s head in hopes of placating him. “humans are despicable creatures except for you. we’ve been through this. now.” he holds the list between the two of them. “what exactly is a calculator?”
(or: yoongi is a three-hundred-year-old vampire and jeongguk is the human child that brings his cold, dead heart back to life.)

Summary
he feels more than hears jeongguk get onto the ground beside him, their shoulders and thighs pressed together. yoongi finally opens his eyes, turning his head to look at jeongguk again with a bit of a funny grin on his lips. earlier, he thought that it was too easy not to pretend. now he’s wondering if they’re really doing this for anyone else’s benefit, if anyone even cares as much as they’re making it out to be.
“what happens if a car comes?” asks yoongi.
the light changes.
“we die,” says jeongguk.
and then—they both start giggling. maybe it’s the alcohol or the adrenaline from doing this—re-enacting some stupid scene from a love story, risking their lives for it. but it’s what jeongguk wants, and yoongi knows without having to think that he’ll do anything to give jeongguk what he wants. to make him happy, to hear him laugh like that, echoing into the night.
(or: jeongguk wants a love like in the movies & yoongi just wants to spite his ex-girlfriend. they’re both very, very good at pretending, until they’re not pretending at all.)

Summary
“i’m jeongguk, by the way. jeon jeongguk,” he says, scratching at holly’s ears.
“min yoongi,” says the man—jeongguk likes the way he says it, syllables easy on his tongue. likes everything about yoongi already, despite only knowing him for a few minutes. and yet—it feels so much longer. he has a strange sense of déjà vu as he stands there outside of the record store with yoongi, petting his dog.
after a moment, he ventures to ask, “have we met before?”

Summary
jeongguk could kill him, but—he doesn’t. and maybe that’s enough to call it love.

Summary
jeongguk was gentle back then, careful. he wanted to make the world a better place.
it’s a stark contrast to the man standing in front of him, covered in blood and asking for yoongi to fuck him on a pile of money that they stole. but yoongi likes to think that some stories, like this one, get to have happy endings—he saw jeongguk’s potential, saw what that kind of power could do. yoongi didn’t change jeongguk so much as nudged him toward the truth of his abilities, toward the possibilities of what they could do together. corruption, jeongguk says. yoongi corrupted him.
either way. he’s got a pretty little thing begging for his cock, so yoongi isn’t going to complain.
(or: yoongi’s got a vendetta, jeongguk likes to sing, and both of them just want to watch the world burn.)
