boyfriend!seokjin au
genre: fluff
word count: 919
a/n: thatās right im BACK!! also is it really an au if itās basically seokjin still being an idol except heās dating you (+ also in this scenario you are multilingual)
dating an idol is hard, but dating an idol whoās in a group as insanely popular as BTS is even harder
prior to dating seokjin, you were a bitĀ of an army
byĀ āa bitā, i mean that you had a fan account with quite a number of online friends
but youāve also been an army long enough to know that you donāt need to dedicate your whole life to them, and you can enjoy it privately or with some online friends
in true namjoon fashion, you picked up korean from consuming korean content, some self studying and even a class or two in your spare time
when you get the opportunity to temporarily move to korea for work, you take it up without hesitation, because why the hell not?
funnily enough, you meet seokjin by coincidence, because youāre both always at the same cafĆ©
you notice itās seokjin sitting in the corner of the cafĆ© almost instantly, but you keep that information to yourself because itās nice enough seeing him in person on a weekly basis (even if itās from afar)
your interactions build up over the course of three months, beginning with borrowing chargers from each other, to noticing youāre watching the same show on netflix, to actually being friends
at some point, jin does actually ask if you know who he is, and you obviously reply yes
he exchanges contact information with you, using kakaotalk because heās wary of sharing his number with a stranger
he officially asks you out after a couple of months of chatting and meeting up occasionally, and saying yes to him was one of the best decisions you ever made
dating seokjin is an experience unlike any other
he can be quite immature, especially because heās always around 6 other people who are younger than he is
but in your relationship, you get to see the mature side of him, especially when you have arguments or tiffs
seokjin loves being in the domestic sphere with you
heāll buy you matching pajamas and mugs
waking up with him is one of the best feelings, because on lazy days, you can lie in bed for awhile and enjoy being close to each other
but eventually, youāll gravitate towards the kitchen and cook breakfast (or brunch, if itās late enough)
seokjin has a habit of wanting your affirmation or praise when it comes to things like his cooking
ādoes this taste good?ā
āi did a good job, didnāt i?ā
initially, youāre a little unused to him being so enthusiastic about your response
but you soon start to adore the way his eyes light up, and the way he lets out a loud HA! when you praise him for a job well done
the way seokjin introduces you to the boys was,,,entertaining to say the least
āNAMJOON, YOUāVE GOT A NEW BEST FRIEND NOW. GUESS WHO CAN SPEAK ENGLISH TOO?ā
why oh why did he introduce you like some sort of english tutor?
from that point on, you actually do end up helping seokjin and a few other members translate statements or helping namjoon double check some things
the other members become accustomed to your presence, especially during periods where theyāre all staying in the dorms, because youāll always pop by to drop off some home cooked food
āramyeon is NOT healthy, and you guys really shouldnāt be eating it so muchā
ābut eating ramyeon is an expression of korean culture!ā
you eventually have to learn how to cook korean food because all 7 of them can hardly go a day without at least one korean meal
inevitably, both your schedules become busy, especially when heās on tour, or when your own work becomes demanding
āi finally have a free day after practicing daily, why canāt we spend the day together?ā
ājin, i have work too, you know. iāll see you when i get home.ā
the fact that it feels like thereās not enough hours in a day to meet one another results in a fair amount of arguments
at some point, you both grow and learn to manage your time better, and also to appreciate the moments you get to be with each other
youāre acutely aware of the fact that youāre dating a man whose nickname is āWorldwide Handsomeā, and even though seokjin never makes you feel anything but beautiful, itās hard because it feels like youāre not good enough
this insecurity is the kind that may build up into resentment or envy, so you bring it up to him one night when youāre in bed together
āi donāt want to ruin the mood or anything, but sometimes i feel like i:m not good enough for you. like people will look at us and wonder how someone who looks like me could possibly be dating someone as attractive as you. not that anybody has said anything,,, i guess this is kind of my personal problem to deal with,,, sorry for bringing it up.ā
after a short silence, jin speaks,Ā āi feel like iām not good enough for youĀ sometimes. because iām always away and busy, and you deserve more. i think youāre one of the most beautiful people on this planet, because youāre beautiful inside and out.ā
that night, you both stay up to talk about your insecurities, and it changes the way you see your relationship
the two of you may have faults or insecurities, but you each push the other to become better, and thatās what makes your relationship so special
