Jungkook finds it ridiculous how Namjoon x Seokjin could even be a thing, let alone Seokjin’s most popular ship. It’s simply ridiculous and absurd, silly and…. yes, he was running out of ways to describe them but really, ridiculous was the only word Jungkook could think of to even describe that ship. Where do the fans even see in them?
Over in the kitchen, Jungkook stares at a guilty Namjoon and a rather irritated Seokjin, who was scolding him about something again. Another normal day. Jungkook thinks, I see nothing between them. Nothing. But Jungkook tries his very best to ignore the way Seokjin’s lip curl up at Namjoon’s prostrated body on the floor, and how Namjoon oh so casually places an arm over Seokjin’s shoulder afterwards. And even the way how Seokjin leans in comfortably into Namjoon’s body. This sucks.
And Namjin is definitely going down.
Now, as all may know, Jungkook is a warm-blooded, competitive Busan man and he is determined the win the position of Seokjin’s most popular ship. If Seokjin likes cute and cuddly, Jungkook will be cute and cuddly. This works very effectively as Jungkook sneakily leans back into Seokjin and the eldest very naturally wraps his arms around him.
This. Jungkook thinks in bliss. This is the best. Being a live broadcast and all, he tries his best to maintain a neutral expression but right now, Jungkook is the happiest boy on earth and he really doesn’t care.
Jungkook just snuggles in more and human heater Seokjin just radiates so much warmth from his chest. He thinks, with all honesty, that Seokjin’s chest can be a 5-star hotel bed. Also, Seokjin probably wasn’t doing it on purpose but he just kept playing with Jungkook’s shirt buttons. It was distracting, to say the least.
He doesn’t even need to look in Namjoon’s direction to know the leader is bubbling foam at his mouth. Jungkook grins again. Namjin is over. Let the rise of Jinkook begin.
Now, Taehyung was here, gloomily considering what really went wrong. It was all so perfect at the start and look at where they are now. Taejin was the original ship of BTS and he loved it. Still loves it actually. Then Namjoon had to do all his moony, love sick eyes at Seokjin and just touched him so awkwardly. The fans ate everything up. Taehyung knew Namjoon did it on purpose, despite his ‘accidents’. Really, who actually trips into someone’s chest. Taehyung thinks bitterly. Seokjin Hyung chest especially.
Obviously, something had to be done. But before Taehyung could even plot anything, Seokjin knocks on his door and peeks in. “Taehyung-ie?”
Taehyung immediately sits up in his bed, all heart eyes for his favourite hyung. “Yes Hyung?”
“Just wanted to make sure you are eating properly these days.” Seokjin lectures as he hauls in a huge tray filled with food. “You’d better eat all these up, I spent my morning for this.” Seokjin tries to be stern but the softness in his eyes shows otherwise.
“Seokjin Hyung…” Taehyung gets out, somehow getting all watery eyes and Seokjin laughs. “Are you that touched? Taehyung ah. Come over and eat. This is the only time I’ll allow breakfast in bed.”
Taehyung laughs and pulls Seokjin down to his bed, suffocating him with a huge hug before letting go and Seokjin gently pats him on his back. They both sat down and had their food, with Seokjin giving small soft encouragements, reminding him that he always comes first and to not let any other people pull him down.
“Well, that was a good breakfast.” Seokjin gets up and stretches like a cat and Taehyung just stares. Because wow. Seokjin is everything Taehyung wants to be and he wants Seokjin to know that. Another pull on Seokjin’s wrist and he comes against Taehyung’s chest. “Thank you so much Hyung!”
Seokjin laughs and hugs him even tighter.

“I want breakfast in bed too Hyung, why don’t you make it for me as well…” Jimin whines and says loud enough for Taehyung to hear, and he’s just about to rush out to retort that brat when Seokjin replies. “Jimin ah. What did I say before about taking care of Taehyung especially when he has his drama filming these days?”
Jimin pauses and is probably pouting, given the silence now. “But Hyunggg..”
“No buts. I’m going to wash these dishes now.” Seokjin stops the conversation and Taehyung laughs. Taejin > Jinmin for now, but soon Taehyung was going to make Taejin THE ship of Bangtan.
Jimin hopes it isn’t too obvious. The way he stares at Seokjin, the way that he laughs at all of Seokjin’s jokes. Wait, scratch that. Jimin wants it to be obvious because god damn Namjoon, he thinks, is just such a fucking eyesore.
Jimin scoffs as he reads a comment, ‘awe, Namjin looks like a couple here. So cuteee.’. The only thing cute about Namjoon x Seokjin was Seokjin himself. Jinmin was wayyy better than that ship and he was determined to prove it.
“Seokjin Hyung, do you wanna do the twitter video with me?” Jimin shouts out and Seokjin agrees. Jimin smirks internally. Plan A activate: He starts the video and thanks all their fans for visiting them all the way in Busan, while surreptitiously inching his way closer and closer to Seokjin. Jimin then brings his arm around Seokjin and just acts so boyfriend-like. Killer Move activate: After there is zero space between him and Seokjin, Jimin just oh so naturally rest his head in Seokjin’s crook of the neck and nestles himself in. “Thanks for coming, Armies! We love you.”
Seokjin says the same and they end the video. Jimin just remains in his position and Seokjin doesn’t make any motion whatsoever to move away as well and Jimin just smiles. This is the best. He plays with Seokjin fingers and hear him giggle.
“You’re being very touchy today, Jimin ah.”
“I’m always touchy Hyung.” Jimin says back and thinks especially with you, Hyung.
Seokjin laughs and adjusts his position so Jimin could lie more comfortably. Then Kim Namjoon had to ruin it all. “Seokjin Hyung, the stylist Noona is calling you. Hurry up.” Seokjin gets up in a hurry and smiles apologetically at Jimin.
Did the stylist Noona even call Seokjin at all? Jimin thinks and glares when he sees Namjoon grinning. “I was cuddling with Seokjin Hyung.” Jimin hisses and is even more irritated when Namjoon raises a brow.
“I know, I have eyes. Why do you even think I told Seokjin Hyung to go first?”
Urghhhhhhhhhh. Jimin screams and screams internally.
FUckIng NaMJin.
Namjoon didn’t have an IQ of 148 for nothing. And even if Namjoon wasn’t that smart, he had eyes to see just what the fuck was going on. And no, he did not like it a single bit. All those brats were trying to steal Seokjin away. It was so obvious; they weren’t even trying to hide it.
Seokjin being the angel that he is, probably notices it as well but just plays along. Well, Namjoon wasn’t going to be so kind to let it slide. Namjin is and always will be Seokjin’s most popular ship. But first, Namjoon had to deflect all those brats away and it was some tedious work.
Jungkook for one, was extremely sneaky, always managing to get time alone with Seokjin and posting selcas of them in the waterpark. Taehyung was unstoppable, with his endless aegyo and charm. Namjoon had just barely stopped Jimin from cuddling with Seokjin the day before.
If Namjoon was trying to stop the boys from getting some time with Seokjin, they were doing the exact same thing as well. Since the start of the week, Namjoon had gotten minimal to none contact with Seokjin, thanks to those brats they call the maknae line.
“Hyung, how’s this movie?” Namjoon asks and settles back beside Seokjin when he nods. He glances furtively at Seokjin and tentatively brings his arm over Seokjin’s shoulder only to be stopped by Taehyung squeezing between them.
“Kim Taehyung. There is plenty of space, you don’t have to seat right here.” Namjoon grinds out, as nicely as he can in front of Seokjin.
Taehyung whimpers and presses himself closer to Seokjin, “Jin Hyung, Namjoonie hyung’s mad.” Namjoon just watches, mouth wide, as Taehyung gives Seokjin the biggest and saddest look ever.
“Namjoon isn’t angry. Come over here Tae, there’s plenty of space here.” Seokjin gestures to his other side. In a matter of seconds, Jungkook plops himself in the space beside Seokjin and smiles. “What’s going on?”
Right. Namjoon wasn’t falling for that act.
“Oops, Hyung, there isn’t enough space here. Move over to the other couch.” Jimin snide at him.
“Jimin ah, there isn’t enough space for you here too. Come and sit with me.” Namjoon pulls Jimin over and Jimin wiggles free from him and points to the space between Seokjin’s feet on the floor.
“There!” He says so cheerfully and sits down there. Seokjin laughs, “Namjoon ah, just seat there.”
“But Hyung…” Namjoon says disappointed. Movie nights were their thing. Then he watches Seokjin mouth next time, the two of us. Now Namjoon smiles.
Meh, a few brats here and there wasn’t going to affect their relationship.
