25 Days Of Christmas Challenge - Update!

25 Days of Christmas Challenge - Update!

Firstly I just wanted to thank everyone who has read my work so far! I know it’s not perfect, and some have been better than others - but this is the first I’ve gotten back into writing after many years, so I do hope you have enjoyed my Christmas stories with Taehyung 😊

I know I have been behind on the days, and I’ve been doing my best to do at least write something each day. I also decided to combine some days as some of the prompts are very similar and I felt I could write one scenario with them, rather than similar stories. It also makes it easier to get more days out 😂

Finally, it’s a couple of days before Christmas and I still have a few prompts to write. I’m not sure how many I will get out before the 25th, as I’m organising a lot for Christmas, plus I may not be able to do much after. However, all the prompts should *hopefully* be out not long after!! So I will still be finishing the challenge (I’m determined!), it just might be a little late.

Thank you for welcoming me into the BTS writing community, for following this new blog, and for @writerofbts including me in this challenge!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas/Holiday/December 🥰💜🎄

Puppy Love - Part 2

Read previous parts here

pairing: idol!Taehyung x female reader

warnings: none.

I tried not to think too much about the handsome man and his dog that stumbled their way into my morning, but that was easier said than done.

I didn’t want to text him right away, maybe I’ll just wait and let him text me first? However that didn’t stop me from glancing at my phone every chance I could through out the day, to see if he had messaged.

It was later on in the evening, the day I had met Taehyung, that my phone pinged. I reached forward from the couch grabbing it off my coffee table so fast that Kanna jolted up in alarm, only to lay her head back down in front of the heater when she realised it was nothing, as if rolling her eyes.

His name read across my screen, the subject of the message only reading Attached: 1 Image. I unlocked my phone and immediately laughed when I saw what he had sent.

Y/N: Awww 😍 what perfect company 😊

T: He’s not much for conversation though!

Y/N: Hahah more of a listener?

T: When he feels like it 😂 he knows all my darkest secrets though.. 😳

Before I had the chance to flirt back, I noticed Taehyung was typing again.

T: It was really nice meeting you today, I’m sorry I had to run off so suddenly 😔

Y/N: Don’t be! It was lovely to meet you too 😊 I hope you weren’t late for anything..

T: No, all good! But I did mean what I said about catching up again. I know this really nice park, that’s not too far from that cafe. Kanna and Tannie could have a proper play!

Y/N: That sounds great! I would love to 😊

T: How does tomorrow sound?

Y/N: I don’t work Sundays, so tomorrow sounds perfect!

T: Great! Shall we meet at the same spot? 11?

Y/N: 11 it is 👍🏻

T: I gotta run 😔 but I’m really looking forward to tomorrow, Y/N

T: 😘

Even as a grown adult, I could help smile to myself as butterflies formed in my stomach at the sight of the emoji he had sent.

Y/N: Me too, Taehyung x

                                                        ***

I woke up early the next morning to give myself plenty of time to stress about what I would wear. I spent at least an hour in front of my mirror trying to match tops with boots, and dresses with hats. I didn’t want to look over the top dressed, we were going to a park after all, but I still wanted to look eye catching.

And was this even a date?

Thankfully, the sun was out for today, so I decided to go for a floral dress and denim jacket, and a pair of sandals. After applying a light amount of make up, I clipped Kana’s lead on and began the walk to the cafe.

I couldn’t ignore the nerves in my stomach that seemed to became more aggressive the closer we got to the cafe. We turned the corner and there he was, sitting on an outdoor bench teasing Yeontan as he sat on his lap.

He looked up innocently with big doe eyes only for them to crinkle at the corners when he smiled, realising we were here.

“Y/N” he beamed, allowing his dog to hop off his lap and greet mine.

“Hi Taehyung” I smiled.

“You look lovely, by the way”

“Oh, thank you. It’s nice that the suns out today!”

He dressed a lot more relaxed than he did the previous day. He wore a loosely fit white shirt, tucked into a belted pair of beige pants.

Taehyung nodded “shall we start walking?” He asked

“I must say” I added as we made our way to the park “you certainly know how to dress well”

He looked down at his ensemble “Thank you! I guess I’ve always found fashion to be a great form of self expression” he seemed shy at his statement.

“That’s wonderful! I’m not very brave when it comes to fashion, you’ll have to help me out there” I laughed.

I felt his eyes land on me, making me meet them as he smiled.

After walking for around five minutes Taehyung enthusiastically announced we had arrived. He let Yeontan off his leash, promoting me to do the same. Leading me over to a wooden bench under a tree, we watched our dogs play and investigate the area.

“They get on so well” Taehyung laughed.

“They do! I guess it would be awkward if they didn’t” I laughed in reply.

“Well, I’d have to have a stern word to my dog. Cause I’d still want to see you.” 

I looked up to meet his eyes, his pink lips were curved into a soft smile. For the first time in my life, I actually felt comfortable with this lingering eye contact. He made me feel.. safe.

“So Y/N?” His voice would have startled me if it wasn’t so calming “what brings you all the way to Seoul?”

Taehyung was so easy to talk to, and was such a good listener. He looked deeply into my eyes, listening intently to everything I told him. The only time we broke conversation was to look out in front of us, making sure our dogs were okay.

I told him about my job working with animals, which made him very excited as he told me how much he loved animals himself. I learnt he was only a year younger than me, which was surprising as he presented himself with such confidence and maturity. I even found myself telling him (this still kind of a stranger) how I just needed to leave Y/Country and start a life for myself. 

“I think that’s wonderful. I’m sure it was a scary thing for you to do, but you needed to! And look where you are now” he grinned. 

I laughed at his enthusiasm, but noticed the wisdom behind his words.

“What about you? Are you working?” I asked “Or studying”

He didn’t answer right away, his brows slightly furrowed together as if deciding how to answer. He then quickly looked back up and smiled, and simply said “I sing.”

“Wow, really? That’s really cool!”

I couldn’t help but notice the faint shade of pink appearing on his sun-kissed cheeks.

“How long have you done that for?” I asked. For some reason, I felt he didn’t want to go into too much detail.

“I guess you could say it’s been my job for about 7 years. But I’ve always sung”

I didn’t want to make him uncomfortable so I simply smiled “well.. I hope I can hear you sing one day.”

There was that cheeky grin again!

My eyes averted to the ground behind Taehyung to see Kana and Yeontan curled up together, clearly exhausted form running around.

Taehyung chucked as he followed my eyesight “looks like they’ve worn themselves out!”

“We should probably get them home” I suggested, as much as I didn’t want to leave we had been out for a fair few hours now.

“Come on, I’ll walk you home” he offered as he stood up, holding his hand out towards me.

                                                       ***

I had never felt so disappointed to see my apartment building. I slowed my walking to stop in front of the buildings entrance, causing Taehyung to do the same.

“This is me” I smiled “thanks for walking us home, even though you didn’t have to.”

“It was our pleasure, wasn’t it Tan!” He bounced the little dog in his arm, before putting him down on the footpath.

I shuffled awkwardly between my feet.

“Y/N?”

“Yeah?”

“I really enjoyed taking our dogs out today - “

I nodded in agreement, smiling.

“- But if you’ll let me, I’d like to take you out for a really nice meal. Just the two of us this time!” he laughed, and I couldn’t help but notice the nerves his voice carried.

“I would really like that!”

His boxy smile appeared once again, highlighting how cute he was. “Okay! Um.. I’ll have to check my schedule for next week, so text me what day suits you and we’ll organise something.”

“I will” I nodded.

Taehyung then glanced behind him, before turning back towards me shyly. “You have a good night, okay.”

“Thanks, you too. And thank you for today, we had a wonderful time” I said glancing down at my dog patiently waiting next to me.

I then felt myself enveloped in Taehyung’s hug. His arms were wrapped tightly around me, my head only just reaching his shoulders. My arms came to rest around his waist, as I took in his delicate scent. His hug was sincere, and ended far too quickly for my liking.

                                                      ***

As I laid down in bed that night, I unlocked my phone and opened up the internet. Curiosity had got the best of me.

He said singing was his job for a while now. Surely he was a little well known then.

I typed in Kim Taehyung, shocked at the search that came up.

BTS? I've definitely heard that around the internet before?

The more I searched, the more I discovered how popular he was, going by the stage name, V. I could tell by the way he was dressed when we first met that he wasn’t short on money, but I could never imagine he would be a world famous performer..

And yet, he never mentioned it? 

I closed my phone, feeling guilty. Maybe I shouldn’t have searched? There was obviously a reason why he didn’t want to tell me straight away. He probably wanted to tell me in his own time.

And I would let him.

I placed my phone on charge and rolled over onto my pillow, letting my mind replay the lovely day I had. Not with V, a member of a famous South Korean boy band.

But with Taehyung. The sweet, handsome boy with the cheeky smile, who’s hand fit in mind perfectly. 

I said in a recent post that I had a list of prompt ideas, and I would try to write some one shots when I can. However I thought lately that I would like to use them in an a fic, as I prefer the idea of an ongoing story :) If you hadn’t already guessed, my bias is Taehyung, so my first fic is going to be a Taehyung x reader!

Here’s a little preview from part 1, I hope you’re interested in reading and I can’t wait to read your comments xx

Author’s note - I don’t speak Korean (I’m trying to learn though!) so the boys will speak English in the story, but I will try and acknowledge any possible language barriers that would come up in this situation.

Also, I probably won’t delve too much into a backstory for Y/N, as the character is meant to fit the reader’s imagination, but of course they need to have a personality and story, so will add a little bit where I need to :)

Puppy Love (Taehyung x Reader) - Preview 

I was sitting outside a cafe, sipping on a warm latte with my head in my phone, Kanna sitting nicely as always by my side.

Suddenly she started pinning and began furiously wagging her tail as a small black and brown dog appeared under our table. Neither dogs looked threatening towards each other, both seeming like they wanted to play.

“Hey there little guy, where did you come from” I asked, holding out my hand to the small dog.

I looked up as a young man appeared in front of me. I immediately noticed how well dressed he was in a grey turtle neck, hidden under a large brown coat. As if it were some form of disguise, he removed his sunglasses and black facemask, bowing his head and frantically speaking in Korean. 

“Mianhajiman hangug-eoleul jal moshaeyo. Yeong-eo.” I smiled apologetically. (I’m sorry, but I don’t speak Korean well. English.)

The young man smiled in return “Oh! I also speak a little English” his accent immediately charming me. “I am so sorry about my dog! We were walking by and he must have been interested in your dog and he jumped out of my arms before I could even react! I hope we didn’t startle you..”

“Oh no no, it’s fine! Kanna is more than happy to make new friends, she is very good” I smiled, rubbing her back as she continued to sniff at the her new friend.

“Kanna, what a sweet name. What type of dog is she?”

“She’s a Japanese Akita”

“May I?” He asked, holding his hand towards her.

“Of course! She’s very friendly”

As the young man knelt down to say hello to my dog I came to notice just how handsome he really was. His dark, wavy hair, fell around his face and framed his soft, yet masculine features. The way his ears showed from under his hair, multiple earrings catching the sunrays. His lips curving into a boxy smile that spread across his face, and the way his eyes scrunched as Kanna licked his caramel skin.

I only realised I was staring when he looked up at me laughing, and I was met with his dark brown eyes. I couldn’t help but notice how kind they were.

I was snapped back into reality when his own dog yelped out playfully.

“Yeontan, don’t be rude!” They young man laughed, ruffling the fur of his small dog.

“Aw hello Yeontan” I cooed, allowing him to sniff my hand.

“He’s a bit of an attention seeker. Especially around pretty girls” he laughed, and I couldn’t help but notice he seemed more nervous.

I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks and immediately tried to change the subject. “He’s a pomeranian?”

He nodded, before raising his eyebrows “how rude of me, I haven’t even asked your name!”

“I’m Y/N” I smiled.

The young man held out his large hand, his wrist decorated with simple bracelets and two small rings on his fingers.

“I’m Taehyung”

The First Day of Christmas

25 Days of Christmas Challenge

Prompt: Day 1 - Opening the first door of the Advent Calendar

Authors Note - so I haven’t written anything in years, plus this is my first BTS oneshot. @writerofbts​ tagged me in this festive challenge, which inspired me to get back into writing :) I’ll do my best to keep up with the days, although some may be a little late. I hope you enjoy day one x

Masterlist

“Babe..” I whispered to the sleeping body next to me “are you awake?” The morning sun beamed through the white curtains into our shared room, and as much as I didn’t want to leave my warm, cozy bed and face the first day of winter, it was also the first day of December! Nothing made me more excited than the festive season. 

I snuggled into my warm boyfriend, causing him to stir and open his eyes slowly and groan, still riddled with sleep. He smiled sleepily, “morning” he spoke lower and croakier than usual. His morning voice always made my heart flutter. 

“Good morning” I smiled back “happy first of December!”

“We can open our advent calendars today” Taehyung grinned, stretching his arms above his head before sitting up and ruffling his messy bed hair. I sat up next to him, groaning as I stretched, only to yelp out when I felt his fingers poke into my side, a cheeky smile plastered on his face. 

We made our way downstairs to our living room, turning on the light to reveal the decorations occupying the space. The main feature, a large Christmas tree next to the window covered with warm lights and a combination of classic and rustic decorations. We both agreed on a simple, yet elegant theme for the tree for our Christmas together. 

“Do you want day 1″ I asked him, as I picked up the advent calendar off the shelf. Taehyung came up behind me, wrapping his bare arms around my waist. 

“Here” he reached around and opened the door for day 1, fumbling to get the chocolate out. He held it up inspecting the shape of a snowflake molded into the small piece. Taehyung then allowed me to take a bite, before placing the rest in his own mouth. 

“Yum” he smiled, before placing a sweet kiss against my lips. 

“I was just thinking that..”

“We should open the other one now” he beamed, shaking me from the daze he left me in.

I loved treating and surprising people at Christmas, and had previously told Taehyung about the idea of a homemade advent calendar. Each day you would give the person a small gift, whether it’s something Chrismassy or even a joke present. Taehyung loved the idea, and suggested the two of us do it for each other throughout December. 

“Ooo let me go first” I said, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the garland I had put up in the hallway while he was in bed last night.

“What’s this” he laughed, inspecting a row of festive themed pegs, a number from 1 to 24 written on each. Every peg was holding a small card.

“Open it” I smiled, giddy with excitement. 

Taehyung pulled the card from the peg marked number 1, and began reading outloud “You gift for day one is hidden in the cupboard where we keep our fun”

Taehyung looked at me in surprise “you made me a treasure hunt?! And for twenty-four days?”

“Do you like it?” I asked shyly. 

“I love it” he smiled, pulling me in to his broad chest and kissing the top of my head. 

“The cupboard where we have fun..” he repeated, turning his mouth to the side as he thought where his gift could be. He suddenly turned without saying a word, and ran towards the cupboard in the living room stacked with our video and board games. Moving things around until I heard him shout “Ah-ha!”

I laughed at his boyish behaviour, watching as he began unwrapping his gift. 

“Oh my god Y/N, you know me too well!” He laughed, holding up a packet containing novelty Christmas face masks.

“I thought you’d want to keep your skin healthy during the colder season. Plus I think they’ll look really good on you” I teased “especially the elf!” 

“Thank you Y/N. Okay! My turn!” he said suddenly, running into his studio across the hall. He returned thirty seconds later with a medium size present wrapped neatly (Taehyung always took pride in his gift wrapping). He smiled at me, handing over the gift. 

Carefully unwrapping it, smiling when I got a glimpse of the gift inside and pulling out a pair of incredibly festive pyjamas!

“Tae! I love them!”

“Wait that’s not all!”

“Wha-” I started, but he had already made his way back into his studio.

“Stay there!” he shouted from the other side of the door. Minutes later he returned, wearing a pair of pajamas matching the ones he just gave me! 

“Oh my god..” I laughed

“Now we can match for all of December” he beamed, posing in his new sleepwear.

“You truly know what a girl wants for Christmas, Kim Taehyung” 

“Someone to do sickly couply things with, like dressing up in matching pjs” he teased, taking my hands in his own.

“Exactly”

You Just Can’t Help Yourself, Can You?

25 Days of Christmas Challenge 

Prompt:  Day 18 - Singing Christmas Songs     Day 21 - Prepping food for Christmas Day

Masterlist

It was late morning, a few days before Christmas, and I was in the kitchen baking a handful of small desserts to take to Taehyung’s family for Christmas Day. Also planning on cooking a dish, Taehyung was currently at the shops picking up some ingredients.

I always needed something playing in the background while I baked, so while I had the house to myself, I decided to blast some Christmas music and sing along. 

“Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree.. for me. I’ve been an awful good girl. Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight..”

I swayed my hips along to the alluring tune, doing a solo performance in the kitchen as the kitchen aid mixed the cake batter. The room was so loud that I failed to hear Taehyung walk through the front door.

“Think of all the fun I've missed.. think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed. Next year I could be just as good, if you'll check off my Christmas list..”

I jumped when an unexpected pair of hands grabbed a hold of my rocking hips, immediately registering the familiar scent of my boyfriend.

Taehyung pressed his body against my back, his fingers gently pressing into my hips, his warm breath against my neck. “Why would you tease me like that jagi..”

His hips were pressed against my own, as he rocked them in time to the suggestive carol. “Oh, I’m the tease am I?” I smirked, a wave of heat and nervousness racing through my body as I felt how turned on he really was.

“Don’t you have some cooking to do?” I questioned, knowing very well I had to get this baking done.

“Mmm. Just dance with me a bit. Please.” I could hear the pout on Taehyung’s face, even when I wasn’t looking at him.

I spun around to face him, as my playlist switched to the next song. Taehyung’s face lit up as a slow version of a All I Want For Christmas Is You came on, he immediately began to sing along.

“I don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need.. I don’t care about the presents I underneath the Christmas tree.”

Taehyung’s solid brown eyes bore into my own, a soft smile etched onto his face as he swayed us back and forth around the kitchen. His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me close, as my own were held around his neck. It wasn’t long before I joined in with his singing.

“Cause I just want you here tonight, holding on to me so tight.. what more can I do. Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you”

I rested my head against his chest, resulting in him pressing his chin a top my head as he continued to sing. 

“I wish we could just stay like this, forget about the rest of the world” I hummed, as the song came to a finish.

Taehyung pressed a kiss to my hair before tilting my chin up to face him. “Me too, jagi” he smiled, before softly slapping my behind, his smile growing wider.

“You just can’t help yourself, can you?” I chucked.

“I don’t hear any complaints” he teased. 

“You’re family will complain if we don’t bring any food for Christmas!”

“Ah, good point!” Taehyung turned to grab the grocery bag he left on the table and I slapped his behind, resulting in him to jump forward as he ran into the other room. 

“You just can’t help yourself, can you?” he winked.

I shrugged, giggling, as I turned back to my baking. Taehyung soon joined me, the two of us spending the rest of the morning cooking, loudly singing along to Christmas carols, and continuing to flirt with each other. 

Hello lovelies! An update to say I’ve finally finished the 25 Days of Christmas Challenge (yes.. it’s March 😳)
