OMG!!! PARK JIMIN!!!
Park Jimin! This is illegal! How can anyone be this good looking and hot?!
The devil is working hard but Park Jimin is working harder
The disrespect! [rest]
Oh wow! Dom Jimin has been unleashed tonight.. I… I’m dead
Taehyung scoffs as he reads through the tweets. He thought to check on Twitter to see what the fans have to say about their appearance at the Golden Disc Award. They didn’t perform tonight but he knows that didn’t stop the fans from tuning in to the program anyway. Looking at the tweets though, it seems like their fans have collectively gone insane over Jimin’s illegal look tonight. He really can’t blame them. Their stylists weren’t playing when they planned to go for rich and dapper. And Jimin, meticulous and merciless Jimin, even asked their stylist to brush his hair up because he knew what that look could do.
It feeds into many fantasies and wet dreams, if Taehyung were to be honest and he scowls at the thought.
He scrolls further down and sees a scattering of praises for the rest of the members as well. He sees some for himself and it seems like his antics tonight got him labeled as rich, bratty son of a CEO and baby boy.
Baby boy! Ha! He smirks as he continues to read through the tweets, eyes slowly drooping. It has been a long day. They might not have performed earlier but after the show, they had to stay and pre-record their Fake Love performance for their stage tomorrow, later, as he glances at the top of his screen and sees that it’s now 4 o’clock in the morning.
”Wait! Wait! Scroll back up!” Jimin chimes and Taehyung is pulled back from the cusp of sleep as he obediently scrolls back.
“Up! Up! There! Stop! Look at Taehyung.. he was so ready to give up his seat for Jimin. CEO Park Jimin and his baby boy Taehyung au anyone?” Jimin reads, face full of mirth.
“Baby boy Taehyung…Hehehehe…” Jimin repeats as he giggles, hands flying over Taehyung’s phone screen to look at the other tweets.
There is this video of Jimin who went for a bathroom break, returning to their assigned area and Taehyung thinking (subtly demanding) that Jimin would sit beside him, rose from his seat only for Jimin to tease and then sassily walk to the other side.
As much as that pissed Taehyung off a bit, he is used to Jimin’s antics now and has become more forgiving, it seems like some fans found it worth cooing at - another testament to 95z’s friendship.
Apparently not only the fans liked it, if he is to go by the incessant giggling from his chest.
”…illegally hot and good-looking, like a young CEO, a dom who just denied his baby boy…” Jimin reads another tweet and buries his face further on Taehyung's chest in an attempt to stifle his giggles because it’s late and the rest of the members are already sleeping.
“You really enjoyed it tonight, huh?”
Taehyung asks as he looks down at the blushing, too gleeful boy on his chest. Jimin has climbed into his bed soon after he tweeted his thanks to their fans. Now dressed in one of Taehyung’s loose long-sleeved shirts that seem to swallow him whole and all curled up on his chest looking so pretty and soft, it is hard to imagine that this is the same hot-blooded man who stole millions of hearts mere hours ago.
”Do you think the stylists will dress us again in similar fashion later? Maybe I can ask them again to style my hair a certain way, there is this style I want to try.” Jimin muses as he looks up to Taehyung, face mischievous and eyes formed into tiny crescent moons.
”I doubt it but whether they do so or not, you, stay by my side and behave appropriately tomorrow. ” Taehyung answers as he cards his hand through Jimin’s hair, a gesture too soft and affectionate and a contrast to his stern tone.
”But Taehyungie…” Jimin whines at the blatant denial of his whims, full lips turning into a full pout.
If Taehyung were a lesser man, he would have succumbed readily, Jimin is not easy to deny on most days but a whiny Jimin with a full pout on presents a visual that is too cute and endearing for anyone’s heart. But Taehyung has years of practice and he firmly holds his ground.
”No buts Jimin. Don't push your luck. Did you think I didn't see how you were with Namjoon hyung earlier? You're lucky I'm tired now and I don't have the energy to deal with it. I tell you, be a good boy later or you’ll be sleeping in your own bed for the week.”
Jimin huffs as he pushes himself off of Taehyung’s chest and turns his back on him, as if years of being together did not teach him that Taehyung is unshakable when he's being serious and possessive.
Taehyung makes no move to appease Jimin. He simply waits. Contrary to popular belief and as unbelievable as it may seem, Taehyung pulls the reins in this relationship. It probably doesn’t help that he is usually seen as cute, playful and adorable (because he really is all that). While Jimin presents as more of the shy, serious and laid-back type that only usually gets coltish when he is around Taehyung. What the rest of the world does not see however, is how their dynamics often take a 180-degree turn in private when Taehyung takes a tougher and rugged character while Jimin becomes more pliant and soft.
Taehyung has no qualms about showing his affection and going with Jimin's wiles most of the time though that oftentimes their fans think that Jimin is the boss. What is not starkly obvious is that Jimin actually does what Taehyung likes and Taehyung finds it easy to indulge Jimin because he likes what Jimin does.
He doesn’t want to think too much about the details of their dynamics though. After all, their relationship isn't made up of labels and specifics. With Jimin, it has always been about give-and-take, selflessness and us - a special kind of bond that only the two of them truly understand.
However there really is no denying that Jimin is usually putty in Taehyung's hands. Taehyung revels in the times he gets Jimin flustered, revels in the fact that only he can push Jimin’s buttons the right way that he gay panics, as their fans coined. He loves to do it unexpectedly but loves it best when he pretends to relinquish control to Jimin and takes it back the very last minute, sending Jimin into chaotic gay panic. Jimin whines and pouts about it afterwards but it has been their unspoken little game, one that a kiss or two could easily fix.
Taehyung doesn't have to wait long as not even five minutes later, Jimin snuggles back into his chest. Jimin loves Taehyung's broad chest as much as he loves the large hand that has now found it's way around his waist, keeping him in place and making him feel safe and secure.
Taehyung smiles down and his heart feels full. He presses a kiss on Jimin's forehead, a gesture of affection and assurance, and a sigh of contentment passes Jimin's lips as both surrender themselves to a peaceful, albeit short, rest.
”Was I good today, Taehyungie?”
Clad in an over-sized sweatshirt that reaches past mid-thigh (one of Taehyung's own that Jimin claims as his and adamantly says fits him better), Jimin asks innocently from Taehyung’s bedroom door.
They are now back in the dorm, the cheering of the fans for what Yoongi said was one of their biggest stage a mere echo ringing in their ears.
Today was the second day of the award show and it has been a full day, one that has started earlier for Taehyung and Jimin as they had to participate in the Vlive interview for idols who were born in the year of the pig. Today was one of the coldest day, too and they were hurrying to the interview but sneaky Jimin took Taehyung’s Tata padding jacket because he just loves wearing Taehyung’s clothes and left Taehyung with no choice but to grab the first jacket he saw instead.
Taehyung had no misgiving though, he also loves seeing Jimin in his clothes and with him wearing the large padding jacket while cutely munching on his fortune cookie - he was extra adorable. Taehyung’s heart was doing somersaults at how cute, soft and giggly Jimin was then that he couldn’t help the fond looks and unnecessary compliments (he’s a poet!). He wanted to hold him close but he had to make do with the fist bumps and hand brushings.
Jimin also heeded his command and stayed by his side for most of the night. Their millions of fans caught them in their numerous playful antics from them occupying a whole area, sitting rows apart and bowing at each other pretending to be idols from different groups to them sitting together, separate from the rest, and dancing along and beating their sticks to the performances.
There were also the touches and hugs, some visible enough for the cameras to catch and some hidden behind side glances and meaningful looks - unspoken promises for what’s to come.
Overall it was a great night and Jimin was in his best behavior. He was a good boy, the best boy.
Taehyung knows that Jimin knows this and he is just fishing for his much-deserved compliment but Taehyung also loves to tease him and so he simply quirks an eyebrow up and answers with a nonchalant, “Huh?”
Just as he expected, wanted to see, Jimin pouts at him, face looking like a kid who has been denied his lollipop. Taehyung coos at the sight.
He chuckles as he walks over to Jimin and takes his face in his hands, bringing it up so they see each other eye to eye. “You were good, definitely good. You were so well-behaved, so adorable, so wonderful, the best in the world, illegally so…” he smirks at the reference, “my good and lovely baby”.
Jimin preens at the compliments. There is something that tickles his heart every time Taehyung calls him his, his baby. He feels like he is covered in warm blanket, cocooned and protected, safe and so loved he holds tighter on to it, never ever wanting to let go.
”Don't I deserve a reward then?” Jimin asks Taehyung, eyes lidded and eyelashes fluttering softly, teasing.
Taehyung pinches his chin affectionately as a smile blooms on his face. Jimin is so, so pretty and just so perfect that Taehyung can’t believe that amid all the love Jimin receives from millions of people all over the world, he is the only one who can give him this particular kind of love. His chest swells with pride and unbelievable fondness. He would give Jimin everything he wants, the moon, the stars, every single reward, the control - anything and everything because by some miracle, a wave of Fate’s hand, Jimin is his and he is Jimin’s.
Taehyung retrieves the foil packet from his closet and then walks over to his bed. He pulls back his sheets and looks at Jimin who has been waiting patiently by the now closed door, excitement radiating off of him at the reward he knows he deserves and is getting.
"Come here, illegal baby."
