when i'm with you i'm in utopia

Summary:

Jin hyung: We have an important matter to discuss

Jin hyung: Out of all of us, who would be most likely to get married first?

jungkookie: i always thought it would be jin-hyung ;-;

Taetae: really? why?

Taetae: ooh let me guess

hoseokie-hyung: NO PDA IN THE GC

Yoongi-hyung ♡: are you trying to imply something about jimin and i?

Jimin: we could legitimately be married and none of you would have any idea

 

(Or: the lives of seven become inexplicably entwined as old wounds are reopened and new ones are bandaged. A sequel to the cause of my euphoria.)

Notes:

As promised, here is the long-awaited sequel to the cause of my euphoria.

Before I begin my long sentimental rant, to new readers: this is a direct sequel to the first fic in the series, taking place approximately four years later. This and the original story are told entirely in the form of texts, although prequel/side stories in the series contain some prose. I’d highly recommend reading the other stories in the series to get the full experience when reading this. I promise it’s worth it!

Without my coauthor, I never would have posted this. The entire reason for my discussion of a sequel at all is because of her, and this began around December/January last/early this year. By February, we had a solid outline for what this story was supposed to look like.

My honest plan was to start posting this before I saw BTS at Metlife, but life got in the way and I became dissatisfied with our outline for the story and stopped writing. This story went through a lot of planning and changed before becoming what it is today. It’s a little darker a lot shorter than the first story, but I hope that it retains all of its charm. It may also warrant another sequel and it definitely calls for more side stories.

My hope is to post new chapters every few days, although I don’t have definite dates yet. Because it’s all prewritten, we just have to work out the html. (And, of course, it’s not always going to be perfect. I apologize for the weird format for one of the groupchats in this chapter. It’s still very readable!) If anybody was curious, I wrote chapters 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12, along with half of this. Like I said, the whole reason that this is being posted is because of morningofdeparture, who also created moodboards/art for each chapter.

Even though I had difficulty writing this, I started to become nostalgic over the first story and even if the sequel went in a direction I didn’t anticipate at first, I wanted to get something out there. So, on the one year anniversary of my original posting of tcome, I present its sequel to you.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Today 11:53 AM
hey kitty kitty

did you finish that grocery list?

i told you not to call me that

yes

you can’t stop me

can you send it? :D

ok here

i don’t care what you get as long as it doesn’t include the ingredients of lasagna

i’m never making it again by the way

omg how could you :( the lasagna was great

but seriously i’m going out now and i don’t want to buy things you don’t like cooking with, especially when i have things planned out for the days i’m cooking

fine yes i made it, i’m sending it now

thank you <3

what time are you getting home today?

4

ish

i think

i’m having a bit of a creative block so i don’t want to interrupt my flow if it comes back anytime soon

take your time!! i can’t wait to see what you come up with

well, you’re always the first to see

you don’t understand how ridiculously honored i am

it’s like i’m in the presence of something far greater than human except you’re just my incredibly talented adorable little yoongi :)

i almost gagged a little but same here

awww

get back to work now

i love you

i promise i’ll send lots of pictures of the kids

did i tell you about the time i accidently called them “the kids” in front of a coworker and she was very shocked that someone of my personality would have children? i think she was relieved when i revealed that i simply owned cats. this is all because you’ve infected me

no way!! tell me more!

not until you stop saying “the kids.” that’s your punishment

i also request at least one (1) extra photo of ketchup. you didn’t send any yesterday

will do

but just so you know he was being evil yesterday

he likes me, though

i have to go now but

i love you so much

i’ll see you soon, jiminie

see you soon, kitty ;)

you and tae
hoseok-hyung
well yeah who else would I marry?
NO I DIDN’T MEAN IT LIKE THAT
besides, you two are basically married anyway
Taetae
we got bro-married at the graduation party and it basically counts
jungkookie
i hate how we all know which terrifying ordeal you’re talking about even though we’ve had so many graduation parties between the seven of us
hoseok-hyung
our marriage made it less terrifying
that was the scariest part
Taetae
how could you
<3
Taetae
you know, in all seriousness, i bet jin hyung and namjoon hyung and jungkookie would be next
oooh definitely the sappy romantics
namjoon-hyung
The only problem is that polyamorous marriages aren’t exactly possible
although...
Jin hyung
Nobody’s stopping us from having the ceremony at least
Yoongi-hyung ♡
pick one pair based on the most economically advantageous option
Jin hyung
You’re lucky that I love you Min Yoongi

Taetae

hoseok-hyung
you two are perfect at your own pace
smh
Yoongi-hyung ♡
no faith
we could legitimately be married and none of you would have any idea
Taetae
i hope we’d have been invited to the wedding!!
we’ll see ;)
Taetae
you aren’t actually married rn are you?
no lol
jungkookie
NFNSNDMAMDKAKDJFJD
i can’t tell if he’s freaking out over us or the idea of being married
Yoongi-hyung ♡

you bet we are

in need of lamb skewers

Today 2:01 PM
jungkookie
guys i,, couldn't actually get married
jungkookieeee you’re just surprised
of course you could get married!!
jungkookie
:(
Taetae
we don’t mean right now obviously
we just mean in a few years
if you feel like settling down
i mean you kind of already are
no offense
jungkookie
coming from you….?
brat
jungkookie
i honestly thought it would be you first
me?
that makes me feel so old
jungkookie
you are old, hyung
Taetae
lol
he’s right
HEY
jungkookie
you and yoongi are just so stable you know?
i’m kind of jealous
we aren’t perfect
jungkookie
i didn’t say that
i know that
but you’re just
stable
there for each other
you’re so domestic too
and love each other the same as ever
but you have all of that with namjoonie hyung and jin hyung?
jungkookie
i guess yeah but
i don’t know it’s
different
i see you guys and i just
i know it’s only been four years but i feel like you guys have been together your whole lives, like i’ve never known you separately. even though you’re both independent.
you complete each other
but??
jungkookie
it’s harder with three people
Taetae
jungkookie?
do you need us
jungkookie
i’m fine
Taetae
is there something we should know
is something wrong?
are they not treating you well?
jungkookie
it’s just not the same
Taetae
what do you mean?
jungkookie
jin hyung has been really off lately
stressed about work
and namjoonie tries to make up for it and take care of
him but it’s wearing down on him too
and i’m caught in the middle
they aren’t spending time with you?
jungkookie
we live together
so?
jungkookie
we spend a lot of time together but
it’s just strained
it’s all the same
we touch the same and talk the same
and i would never ask for more when we all have busy lives and they’re already trying so hard
but i know that they both have something else on their mind a lot of the time
it’s always movement
and we have to work so hard now that sorbet is getting into everything and gelato isn’t getting any younger
i don’t know
jungkook
kookie
koo
that doesn’t mean you won’t get married
it’s just a rough patch okay?
you guys have a lot on your minds right now and it’s normal to feel like a lot is going on and it’s hard to take control of, but you have each other
jungkookie
i know but they feel so distant
Taetae
jungkookie
jungkookie please talk to them
i promise it’s not as bad as you think
you’ve always fixed things by talking
jungkookie
but it’s always me
i always have to
Taetae
i know baby :(
i also know that they probably feel the same way you do and are waiting for someone else to bring it up
but if it’s going to help please please please talk to them
jungkookie
i’m trying
please talk to us next time you feel like this
we’ll help okay?
jungkookie
:(
thank you
both of you
i love you guys
we love you too jungkookie
so much
don’t hesitate to ask us for help
Delivered Taetae
i love you kook
jungkookie
:(

Taetae

Today 2:20 PM
i’m worried.

me too

he hasn’t ever mentioned any of this to you?

nope

you?

not at all

he hasn’t ever hinted at anything being wrong

do you think something really is wrong?

i don’t know

i don’t think so

they’re so perfect, you know? as close as it gets anyway

just because it looks that way doesn’t mean that that’s the truth

it’s not that though

i mean that they’ve known each other for so long

they barely have to talk to know what’s wrong

maybe that’s the problem

maybe

i don’t think i’d ever be able to do something like that with yoongi

me neither

i love hoseokie, but he can be so dense

i think it takes a lot more courage to speak up

i don’t know… they’re special

i know

and also

i thought gelato was doing better?

jungkookie hasn’t talked to you about that?

uh

no

then why’s he talking to me?

jiminie i’m worried

it’s okay taetae

jungkook has been different lately

it’ll pass

i know, but…

what has he told you about gelato?

the seizures are getting worse

more frequent

they can’t do much anymore but keep him comfortable

jin hyung has been taking it really hard

i can’t imagine it

it must be so hard to watch

i know

they love that dog so much

i’ve told them that i would dogsit but all three of them

say it’s okay

i’d be over in a heartbeat

i know tae :(

what should we do?

i don’t really know

none of them will talk to us

have we tried?

i’m closer with jin hyung and you’re closer with namjoonie hyung…

we should probably try again

i just don’t want them to think we’re butting in

have you heard jungkook? they probably aren’t talking enough to be able to put that together

then

well

we can think about it

for now we just have to be there for them

especially jungkookie

i never thought we’d have to protect him from them

he loves them so much

i know :( let’s just see for now okay? we have to wait for jungkookie to come to us before we make any judgement

alright :(

it’ll be okay

it’ll work out
