    Summary

    Retired Olympic gymnast Park Jimin finished his military service two months ago, and now he's hiking the Appalachian Trail. Why, he's not exactly sure yet. A spring snowfall leaves him holed up in a lean-to shelter all afternoon, and during a break in the group card game, he shares his strawberry gummies with the quiet guy in the corner. Five months, 1800 miles, and three pairs of boots later, he discovers what it is he was looking for.

    Summary

    There’s a funny idea brewing in Yoongi's head, as his brain sloshes around in all the soju and vodka and wine he’s drank tonight. A funny idea that begins to feel more and more like a good one, as he zooms in on a picture of Jimin in a pair of shorts that really he shouldn’t have worn for an Instagram photo. Yoongi licks his lips, feeling...reckless.

    Why not? he keeps asking himself. Why not?

    ++

    Or, Yoongi is twenty-seven, newly single, and feeling a little on-edge about it all.

    Summary

    It was almost like slow motion, the way Yoongi’s head turned to face him, their eyes locking, the brilliant smile that lit up Yoongi’s face so familiar Jimin could have sworn, for a brief moment, that they were teenagers again. So familiar, and yet it disarmed him even still, after all these years.

    “Well well well,” Yoongi grinned, his voice warm and sweet and rough as molten caramel and crystallised sugar. “If it isn’t Seoul’s next big thing.”

    ---

    Park Jimin considers the road not taken. It always leads to Min Yoongi.

    Summary

    Yoongi is a blank slate. He does what he wants to do when he wants to do it. Fucks Jimin beautifully, then goes right back to writing lyrics or layering instruments on his laptop. It’s cool. Yoongi has rap and Jimin has dance and sometimes they have each other but never for too long, just for the length of the gaps in between their respective interests. Sometimes Jimin lets himself want more. Then he reminds himself to come up for air.

    or, yoonmin fwb au in which jimin doesn't know how to tell yoongi he wants more, and yoongi has been waiting patiently for jimin to catch up.

    Summary

    “You were nice about it,” Jimin says. “I don’t know who else would be. I’ve never actually…told anyone else. Except Tae.” Yoongi doesn’t move. “You said yourself it’s not a big deal. You probably kiss someone new every weekend.” Jimin pauses, waits, and then very quietly: “Why not me?”

    Yoongi’s shoulders lift with a sigh, his face still downturned to the breakfast bar, hidden from view. “It’s not the same,” he mumbles.

    *

    Jimin's made it to 20 without experiencing his first kiss, and Yoongi's the quiet, grumpy guy he turns to for help. Slight problem: Yoongi doesn't like him.
