Work Text:
Jimin was in his own little world, exactly where he loved to be.
The late afternoon sun warmed the inside of his car through the open sunroof, painting everything in soft golden light. He had one hand on the wheel, the other wrapped around a big cup of strawberry milk tea with extra boba, the pearls chewy and sweet as he slurped happily through the thick straw. Lo-fi beats played low from the speakers, mixing with the gentle breeze coming through the rolled-down windows. His favorite Jellycat bunny sat buckled into the passenger seat like a tiny co-pilot, and a little chick plush dangled from the rearview mirror, swaying whenever he slowed down. The car smelled like warm vanilla and strawberries. Everything felt soft. Safe. Perfect.
Until a deep, rumbling engine growled up beside him at the red light.
Jimin glanced over lazily at first, then froze mid-sip. A sleek black motorcycle had stopped right next to his window. The rider was tall, broad-shouldered, dressed head to toe in black. A full-face helmet hid everything except a pair of sharp, intense dark eyes. The guy’s right arm was covered in tattoos—beautiful, intricate ink that disappeared under the sleeve of his leather jacket. And hanging from the handlebar was the tiniest silver bell, glinting in the sunlight.
Before Jimin could even think what the hell, that tattooed arm reached straight through his open window, bold as anything. A phone appeared right in front of his face, screen already open to a new contact page.
Jimin startled so hard he nearly launched his boba into the ceiling. “Ah—!” A tiny, high-pitched gasp slipped out as he clutched the cup with both hands, heart slamming against his ribs. Some of the tea sloshed onto his fingers.
But then he looked up.
Those eyes.
Big, round, sparkling dark eyes that caught the sunlight like glossy boba pearls. They crinkled warmly at the corners, suddenly soft and playful instead of sharp. Jimin’s brain short-circuited. His cheeks flushed pink as he stared, completely charmed. His shaky fingers took the phone before he even realized what he was doing. The screen was still warm from the rider’s hand.
With trembling thumbs, Jimin typed his number, adding his name with a tiny strawberry emoji at the end. He could feel the biker watching him the whole time, patient and steady.
When he handed the phone back, the light was still red. The deep, smooth voice that came from under the helmet made Jimin’s stomach flip.
“Sorry for startling you, pretty,” the guy said, low and clear, a hint of a smile in his tone. “Couldn’t let you drive away without trying.”
Jimin’s mouth opened, closed, then opened again. All that came out was a shy, flustered little laugh as he ducked his head, blond hair falling into his eyes. His heart was doing embarrassing cartwheels.
The light turned green.
The biker gave him a quick, playful salute with two fingers, revved the engine once—the silver bell letting out the cutest little tinkle—and rode off with a smooth, powerful roar that faded down the street.
Jimin sat there for a second, blinking, cheeks burning, strawberry milk tea forgotten in his lap. “What… just happened?” he whispered to his Jellycat bunny, still a little dazed.
His phone buzzed a few minutes later while he was waiting at the next light.
Unknown Number:
Hey angel, it’s the scary biker from the red light 😂
Sorry again for the jump scare. You free this weekend? Let me make it up to you with actual boba. No windows between us this time. — Jungkook
Jimin stared at the message, biting his lip so hard he almost laughed out loud in the car. He typed back quickly before he could overthink it.
Jimin:
The one with the boba eyes?
Yeah… I think I’d like that.
They met two days later at a cute riverside café that served the best boba in the city. Jimin arrived early, nerves buzzing under his skin. He’d changed outfits three times before settling on an oversized cream sweater and soft jeans, something comfortable but cute. He kept fiddling with the strap of his bag, heart skipping every time he heard a motorcycle in the distance.
Then he heard it—that familiar deep rumble.
Jungkook pulled up on his sleek black bike, swung one long leg over, and pulled off his helmet in one smooth motion. Messy black hair fell into his eyes. He ran a hand through it, flashing a bright, confident smile that made Jimin’s knees feel a little weak. Those same sparkling dark eyes found him immediately, lighting up with recognition.
“Hey,” Jungkook said as he walked over, voice warm and easy. “You look even cuter when you’re not holding onto your boba for dear life.”
Jimin let out a soft, embarrassed laugh, covering his face with one hand for a second. “You’re… really tall. And your hair looks soft.”
Jungkook grinned wider. “Yeah? You can touch it later if you want.”
They ordered way too much—Jimin got his usual strawberry milk tea with extra pearls, Jungkook went for classic brown sugar with cheese foam on top. They found a sunny table outside overlooking the river, the breeze gently blowing between them. At first Jimin was shy, stirring his drink with the straw, but Jungkook was so warm and gentle that the nerves melted away. He asked about Jimin’s car plushies, laughed when Jimin admitted he had way too many Jellycats at home, and told stories about late-night rides that made Jimin lean in closer.
Halfway through their drinks, Jimin got brave.
“So… the real reason I gave you my number,” he said softly, cheeks turning pink again. “It wasn’t just because you were bold. Your eyes… they looked like big, shiny boba pearls through the helmet. I couldn’t say no to that.”
Jungkook stared at him for a second, then let out a low, surprised laugh, rubbing the back of his neck as his ears turned red. He looked completely melted. “Angel,” he murmured, the nickname slipping out so naturally it made Jimin’s heart flutter. “You’re actually gonna kill me. That’s the cutest thing anyone’s ever said to me.”
They stayed at that table until the sun started to set, then walked slowly along the river path. Their shoulders brushed every few steps. Every time their fingers accidentally touched, little sparks jumped between them. When they said goodbye beside Jungkook’s bike, he looked at Jimin like he already didn’t want to let him go.
“Text me when you get home safe, yeah?” Jungkook said, voice soft.
Jimin nodded, smiling shyly. “I will.”
The second date was a picnic in a quiet park on a sunny Saturday. Jungkook showed up with a big blanket, a basket full of snacks, and a small bouquet of daisies he admitted he’d picked himself on the way there. They spent hours lying on the blanket, feeding each other strawberries and little rice cakes, talking about everything and nothing. Jungkook kept stealing glances at Jimin’s face like he couldn’t believe he was real.
The third date was Jimin’s favorite so far. They met at the amusement park as the sun was going down. Jungkook won him the biggest Jellycat plushie at the ring toss after almost twenty tries, refusing to give up even when his arm got tired. Jimin hugged the giant bunny to his chest, eyes sparkling as he looked up at Jungkook.
“You’re ridiculous,” Jimin laughed, but his voice was full of warmth.
“Only for you,” Jungkook answered, brushing a strand of blond hair behind Jimin’s ear.
They ended the night at a small dessert café nearby. Jungkook ordered tiramisu and kept feeding Jimin little spoonfuls across the table, eyes never leaving his face. The atmosphere felt heavier now, sweeter. After the last bite, Jungkook reached over and gently wiped a crumb from Jimin’s bottom lip with his thumb.
“Jimin,” he said quietly, voice a little rough. “Be mine. For real. Boyfriends. I don’t want to keep wondering what it’d be like to call you my angel every day. I already know I want it.”
Jimin’s heart swelled so big it almost hurt. He smiled—the shyest, happiest, softest smile—and nodded.
“Yes,” he whispered. “I’m yours, Jungkook.”
The second the word left Jimin’s lips, Jungkook’s whole face softened like he’d just been handed the entire world.
They were still sitting at that tiny dessert café table, tiramisu plates pushed aside, the warm lights glowing above them. Jungkook stood up first, gently pulling Jimin to his feet. His big tattooed hands came up to cup Jimin’s soft cheeks so carefully, like he was holding something breakable and precious. For a moment he just looked at him—those dark boba eyes warm and sparkling—before leaning in.
Their first kiss was slow and sweet, almost careful at the start. Jungkook’s lips were softer than Jimin expected, warm from the tea they’d been drinking. Jimin’s hands fluttered up to rest on Jungkook’s chest, feeling the steady thump of his heart as butterflies exploded everywhere inside him. The kiss deepened just a little, still gentle, still full of wonder, like both of them were savoring the fact that this was real now.
When they pulled apart, Jimin’s cheeks were flushed pink and his eyes were shiny. Jungkook rested their foreheads together, breathing him in.
“My angel,” he whispered, voice low and a little shaky with happiness. “Finally.”
Jimin could only smile, shy and glowing, and lean in for another quick kiss because he already couldn’t get enough.
From that night on, everything felt brighter.
Kisses became their new favorite language. In the mornings, when Jungkook had to leave early for work, he’d lean over Jimin still buried in the blankets and press the softest kiss to his forehead. “Sleep more, baby. I’ll text you when I’m on the way home.” Sometimes he’d trail kisses down the bridge of Jimin’s nose just to hear that sleepy giggle.
When Jungkook came back from long rides, he’d kick off his boots, scoop Jimin up in his arms, and kiss him like he’d been starving for it—deep, passionate, a little desperate, hands sliding under Jimin’s stolen hoodie. “Missed you so fucking much,” he’d murmur against Jimin’s lips between kisses, making Jimin melt against the wall or the couch or wherever they happened to be.
But the giggly ones were Jimin’s weakness. Jungkook loved attacking his neck and cheeks out of nowhere, blowing raspberries or peppering tiny kisses until Jimin was squirming and laughing, trying to push him away but never really meaning it. Jungkook would pull back just to admire the blush he caused, then dive in again. He also had this habit of kissing the top of Jimin’s blond head whenever he walked past, or pressing a lingering one to the tip of his nose while whispering, “Too cute. Should be illegal.”
Jimin gave as good as he got, stealing quick kisses whenever Jungkook was focused on something—cooking, fixing his bike, even just tying his shoes. Jungkook would always chase after him for more, grinning like an idiot.
Cuddling was basically non-negotiable.
Jungkook was a giant teddy bear in human form. No matter how small the couch was, he’d find a way to pull Jimin onto his lap, wrap those strong, tattooed arms around his waist, and bury his face in the crook of Jimin’s neck. “You’re so soft, baby,” he’d mumble, voice rumbling against Jimin’s skin as he nuzzled closer. “Could stay like this forever.”
Jimin would melt completely, tucking his head under Jungkook’s chin and letting himself be held. On rainy days it was even better—they’d drag every blanket in the apartment to the couch, make fresh strawberry boba, surround themselves with Jellycats, and stay tangled up for hours. Jungkook would trace lazy patterns on Jimin’s back while they watched movies, occasionally pressing kisses to his hair or shoulder just because.
One lazy Sunday, when the rain was pouring hard outside, Jungkook refused to let Jimin get up for anything. “Nope. You’re my personal heater today,” he declared, tightening his arms when Jimin tried to reach for his phone. Jimin just laughed and gave in, snuggling deeper into his chest.
The little flirty touches made their days even sweeter.
Jungkook added a cute strawberry charm right next to the silver bell on his bike. It tinkled together now whenever he rode, a tiny reminder of Jimin wherever he went. Jimin retaliated by hanging a mini Jellycat bunny from the mirror. Every time Jungkook got on the bike he’d smile at it like a lovesick fool.
Jungkook started sending voice notes while riding—his deep voice crackling through the speaker with wind rushing in the background. “Just passed that café we had our first date at, angel. Thinking about how pretty you looked sipping your strawberry boba. Hurry up and miss me more.” Jimin would listen to them on repeat, cheeks hurting from smiling.
And Jimin? He basically lived in Jungkook’s hoodies. He’d steal them fresh from the laundry, drown in the oversized fabric that smelled like Jungkook’s cologne and faint leather, and wear them while cooking or working from home. Jungkook pretended to complain but his eyes always went soft when he saw Jimin in them.
“Keep stealing my clothes and I’m gonna run out,” he’d say, pulling Jimin close by the hem of the hoodie anyway.
“You like it,” Jimin would tease back, and Jungkook could never deny it.
Their dates kept getting better.
Motorcycle picnics became a favorite. Jungkook would drive them out to a quiet hill just outside the city, Jimin’s arms wrapped tight around his waist, cheek pressed to his back as the wind whipped past. They’d spread out a blanket, unpack snacks and boba, and spend hours talking, laughing, and stealing kisses under the open sky.
Late-night boba runs were spontaneous and silly. They’d show up at their favorite shop ten minutes before closing, still in hoodies and sweats, ordering way too many drinks and sharing one giant straw while sitting on the curb outside. Jungkook would swipe foam off Jimin’s lip with his thumb and lick it off, smirking when Jimin turned red.
Cooking dates usually ended in disaster but they loved them anyway. Jungkook was surprisingly good in the kitchen, but he spent more time feeding Jimin bites of whatever they were making than actually cooking. “Open up, baby,” he’d say, holding out a spoon, eyes sparkling as Jimin accepted it shyly. They’d end up dancing around the island to whatever song was playing, hips bumping, laughter echoing through the apartment.
Slow dancing in the living room happened at least once a week. No matter the time—after dinner, in the middle of the night, or right after waking up—Jungkook would pull Jimin close, wrap his arms around him, and sway gently even if there was no music. Sometimes he’d hum low in his chest, chin resting on Jimin’s head, and Jimin would just close his eyes and breathe him in.
Every day felt like an adventure, even the quiet ones. They were full of laughter, endless flirting, and this warm, bubbly feeling that never seemed to fade.
One quiet evening, months into their relationship, they were cuddled on the couch watching the city lights through the window. Jungkook had Jimin tucked against his chest, fingers playing with his blond hair.
“You know,” Jungkook murmured, voice soft, “I still can’t believe those boba eyes actually worked on you.”
Jimin tilted his head up, smiling. “Best decision I ever made.”
Jungkook kissed him then—slow, deep, and full of so much love it made Jimin’s toes curl. When they pulled apart, Jungkook rested their foreheads together again.
“I’m gonna keep you forever, angel. Just so you know.”
Jimin’s heart felt too big for his chest. He kissed the corner of Jungkook’s mouth and whispered back, “Good. Because I’m not going anywhere.”
Their love was sweet, playful, warm, and so incredibly real. Every kiss, every cuddle, every shared boba and late-night ride just pulled them closer.
And they still had so much more ahead.
𝓈𝒿
Five years slipped by in the softest, warmest blur of kisses, late-night rides, and shared strawberry boba.
It was a beautiful spring day when they finally stood under a flower arch wrapped in white silk and cherry blossoms. Petals drifted lazily through the air like pink snow as Jimin walked down the aisle in a soft white suit that made him look like he’d stepped out of a dream. The jacket was slightly oversized, sleeves just long enough to hide his fidgeting fingers, and his blond hair was styled with that gentle wave Jungkook loved running his hands through.
Jungkook waited at the end in a sharp black suit, silver bell charm from his bike tucked safely in his pocket. The second he saw Jimin, his eyes shimmered with tears he didn’t even try to hide. His broad shoulders shook just a little as he watched his angel come to him, lips pressed tight together to keep from full-on crying in front of everyone.
When Jimin finally reached him, Jungkook took both his hands and squeezed them like he’d never let go. “You look… unreal,” he whispered, voice thick. “I can’t believe you’re mine.”
Their vows were full of sniffles and laughter. Jimin went first, talking about how a random red light changed his whole life and how he still got butterflies every time he heard a motorcycle rumble. Jungkook followed, wiping his eyes with the back of his tattooed hand before grinning through the tears.
“I saw this cute guy sipping strawberry boba at a stoplight and thought… yeah, I’m risking it all,” he said, voice warm and a little shaky. “Best decision I ever made. My boba eyes and that bold move actually worked. They got me the love of my life. Jimin, I promise to keep reaching for you every single day, even when we’re old and my bike’s got rust on it.”
Jimin laughed through happy tears, and when they kissed, the whole venue erupted in cheers and soft applause. The silver bell charm rang gently as Jungkook pulled him close, like it was celebrating too.
Two years after the wedding, they adopted Yeon.
She was tiny, curious, and had the biggest, roundest dark eyes that looked just like her dad’s. From the first day they brought her home, she fit perfectly between them—like she’d always belonged. Jimin would rock her to sleep humming lo-fi beats while Jungkook watched from the doorway with the softest heart eyes, tattooed arms crossed over his chest.
Now, seven years together and four-year-old Yeon ruling their cozy little house, life felt complete in a way neither of them had imagined back at that red light.
Their home was warm chaos in the best way. Sunlight streamed through big windows onto scattered toys, colorful drawings taped to the fridge, and shelves full of Jellycats. The faint scent of strawberries and vanilla always lingered. Yeon had Jungkook’s curious sparkling eyes and Jimin’s soft, sweet smile. She was their perfect little mix—bold like her papa when she wanted something, shy and cuddly like her daddy when she was sleepy.
Every weekend followed the same happy tradition.
Jungkook would carefully strap Yeon into the secure child seat on his bike, double-checking the straps twice like always. The silver bell and strawberry charm tinkled together as he revved the engine gently. “Ready, princess?” he’d ask, voice muffled through the helmet but full of excitement.
Yeon would squeal and kick her little legs. “Ready, Papa!”
Jimin followed right behind in his plushie-filled car, sunroof open, snacks and fresh strawberry boba in the cupholders. He’d wave at them every time they stopped at red lights, laughing when Jungkook lifted his visor and shouted loud enough for the whole intersection to hear, “I love you, baby! Both of you!”
Yeon would wave back wildly from her seat while Jimin blushed and yelled, “Love you more, you ridiculous man!”
They’d cruise around the neighborhood or head to the park, wind in their hair, bells tinkling, hearts full.
In the kitchen on lazy Sunday mornings, Jimin and Yeon made strawberry boba together. Jimin lifted her onto the counter so she could “help,” her little hands carefully dropping pearls into the cups while he poured the milk tea. Flour and strawberry syrup sometimes ended up on both their cheeks.
Jungkook would lean against the doorway watching them, arms crossed, that fond smile never leaving his face. The same heart eyes he had on their first date were still there, even deeper now. “My loves,” he’d murmur softly, like he still couldn’t believe how lucky he was.
Yeon would turn and beam at him. “Papa, taste!” and hold up a messy spoon.
He’d walk over, take the bite dramatically, and kiss both their cheeks, getting strawberry on his nose on purpose just to make them giggle.
Bedtime was sacred in their house.
Jungkook would scoop Yeon onto his shoulders, her little hands gripping his hair as he carried her up the stairs like she weighed nothing. Her laughter echoed through the hallway every single night. Then all three of them would pile into the big bed—Jimin on one side, Jungkook on the other, Yeon snuggled safely in the middle with her favorite Jellycat bunny clutched to her chest.
“Story time,” Yeon would demand, eyes already drooping but fighting sleep.
And every time, she asked for the same one.
“Daddy, tell the boba eyes and red light story!”
Jimin would smile and start it off while Jungkook wrapped an arm around both of them. “Once upon a time, there was a boy in a cozy car drinking strawberry boba…”
Jungkook would continue, voice low and warm, acting out how he reached through the window with his phone. Yeon’s giggles would turn into sleepy sighs as they told her how the mysterious biker with boba eyes stole her daddy’s heart at a red light. By the end, she was usually fast asleep between them, breathing softly.
After they tucked her into her own room, Jungkook would pull Jimin back to their bed, wrapping him up in those strong tattooed arms. He’d bury his face in Jimin’s neck, kissing the soft skin there slowly, tenderly, like he had all the time in the world.
“Best thing I ever did,” he’d whisper against his ear, voice rough with love and years of memories, “was reach into your car that day.”
Jimin would hug him tighter, legs tangling together under the blankets, a soft smile curving his lips as he traced the familiar ink on Jungkook’s arm. “I’m so glad those boba eyes made me give the mysterious biker my number,” he’d reply, the same words they’d said a hundred times, but they never got old.
They’d fall asleep like that—close, warm, safe—surrounded by the quiet sounds of their home. The silver bell on the bike outside caught the moonlight through the window. Plushies watched over them from the shelves. Strawberry-scented candles burned low on the dresser.
Their life was full of warmth, laughter, strawberries, plushies, bike rides, cuddles, and the kind of love that only grew stronger with time.
