Summary
You and Jungkook have been friends for a decade. And while he’s the charming and dependable, often reserved boy-next-door, he’s also just been a friend - a constant in your life, a part of a whole, and someone who’s seen all the flawed and probably unattractive sides of you.
A resumption of your friend group’s out-of-town trips has caused you to spend more time with him. And somewhere in between the morning coffee in the forest, running around in the snow, and watching the sunset on a boat, he’s become something more. And you’re not quite sure how to deal with it.

Summary
you’re used to being in love with taehyung. you’ve had a lot of time to get good at it, after all—by this point you’re the world’s expert at keeping your less-than-platonic feelings hidden from him, what with the amount of practice you’ve had.
but then he signs up for a massage therapy course, because apparently you can never catch a break.
or: the one where taehyung gives you a full body massage and then some.

Summary
be careful, his mother would say. witches don’t care for mundane humans. be polite, do your business, but then leave. don’t linger. it’s not safe.
park jimin feels lost and alone and he’s still looking for home. but something unspoken leads him to your door—a witch who brews tea to match the stories and sadness that spill from his lips. a witch who gives him a question that he has to repay with an answer. (after all, you always have to pay a witch their dues.)

Summary
"You have two choices," he finally said, his voice cold and merciless. "Either I deduct the value of the broken vase from your wages this month, leaving you even deeper in debt..."
I sucked in a sharp breath. I could barely survive on my pay as it was. Losing even a portion of it would push me further into ruin.
"Or," Lord Jungkook continued, his eyes glinting in the dim candlelight, "you take a punishment instead. No wages will be deducted, but you will have to endure a consequence that will make you think twice before being so careless again."
