“did you want him to go?”
what does it matter? yoongi wants to say. what do i matter? he’s gone. he’s not going to walk through that door. he’s not going to come back.
“he couldn’t have stayed,” he manages.
namjoon shrugs. “but did you want him to go?”
yes, yoongi thinks, because he deserved to live and this isn’t fucking living and he deserved to live. yes, because i hate him and i hate that i didn’t tell him that i loved him.
no, he thinks, because i’m selfish.
“i wish i did.” he says.
(namgi post-apocalyptic bartender au / endings are beginnings, too)
Yoongi is a hacker who steals broke university student Namjoon's identity, and quickly decides that he can't just leave this kid living this way. After that, well, he really should have known that it would spiral out of control. --- YOONGI (17:29): okay, so don’t freak out, but i’ve decided you need some help YOONGI (17:29): and i am uniquely in a situation where i can help you YOONGI (17:30): i’m sure you’ve noticed the change in your finances YOONGI (17:31): bitch are you even reading these?? YOONGI (17:32): fine, i’ll wait
Namjoon is stood at the edge of Yoongi’s desk, looking nervous, clutching his messenger bag in his hands.
“It’s nothing.” He whispers. His knuckles are white. He shifts his weight from one foot to the other. “It’s nothing.”
“So, clearly it’s not nothing.” Yoongi says conversationally.
min yoongi would like to personally fight the early hour, or the cold wind off the waves, or possibly both
When Kim Namjoon had taken the job at the radio station, he'd expected to learn how to use the recording equipment, not how to fall in love with the radio show host, Min Yoongi.
“A duck is your favorite bird?” Namjoon asked, and then backtracked. “Wait. You have a favorite bird?”
“Of course I do,” Yoongi said, holding up his binoculars that were still looped around his neck. “Birdwatching is my life. And ducks are great. My grandfather’s favorite bird of all time is the King Eider duck; he survived a summer in the tundra just to see one.”
Namjoon winced. “He sounds like a great guy.”
“He’s dead,” Yoongi deadpanned.
(AU in which Namjoon accidentally becomes a hardened criminal, and Yoongi is his community service project.)
Namjoon meets Yoongi and his young son Jeongguk on a plane home to Seoul. Chaos ensues.
or
The one where Namjoon pretends to be a dad and is actually pretty good at it.
(but, in this one, he tells you he loves you)
Yoongi won’t pretend to understand Namjoon, but the way Namjoon pretends to understand him makes his skin crawl.
min yoongi would like to personally fight airport traffic, or the necessity of book tours, or possibly both

It became a permanent thing the next year in August. But neither of them knew it was going to become a permanent thing. To them it just looked like a temporary thing. A slightly permanent, temporary thing.
Or; Namjoon and Yoongi are both struggling artists, throw a baby into the mix and they're struggling parents as well. Throw love into the mix and they're just struggling.
yoongi:
oh no did u try to booty call someone on MY phone?
Yoongi's ingenious friends think it's a good idea to steal his phone in order to score him a Hot Date with that quiet kid in Philosophy. (What was his name again? Namjoon?) OT7 shenanigans ensue.
Namjoon returns to the love he left behind.
namjoon's girlfriend cheats on him with a guy that turns out to be yoongi's boyfriend. namjoon and yoongi band together to exact revenge
To get over his horrible, now-over-six-boarding-on-seven-years-long crush (“It’s not a crush anymore, Namjoon,” the voice in his head that sounds suspiciously like Hoseok says) Namjoon debates whether or not he should just start dating someone else.
Coincidentally, Seokjin mentions a dating app.
Namjoon has his supposed dream job, working as a music producer at one of the “big three” entertainment companies, but he doesn’t realize just how much he hates it until he meets a musician in the park named Yoongi who is writing an album as a love letter to Seoul.
It's been raining in Seoul for thirty-seven days. Namjoon and Yoongi are trying to learn how to love.
namjoon and yoongi have lived together for eight years.
or, a namgi retelling of "and they were roommates - oh my god, they were roommates"
‘I don’t know why you bother with the screaming Min fucking Yoongi,’ Prisoner 2872 says and Yoongi blushes at the use of his name. At the word tucked in between that he’d used so eloquently just moments before. ‘The walls are soundproof, the only person who can hear you is me. And I’m as trapped as you are.’
Or: Yoongi and Namjoon are mutants locked in adjacent cells with a hole cutting into the wall between them.
RM is covered in tattoos, some more nicely executed than others, but they are scattered all over his skin, from his chest to his arms and his collarbone, and Yoongi thinks he might be the hottest person he’s ever seen. And now he has to do his fucking makeup.
“Sorry for being late, traffic was a bitch,” RM says, and Yoongi just stares at him until he realizes it’s him the rapper is addressing. He blinks at him. “Nice to meet you. Namjoon.”
The Korean branch of GQ decides to start doing their own version of a popular YouTube series from the main channel. Yoongi gets caught in the crossfire.
In which Yoongi has insomnia and spends too much time in the laundry room late at night, and then Namjoon shows up and they accidentally start a club.
Well, sort of. That's sort of what happens, but with a lot more flirting and good sex and irony.
When you're broke, camming is a totally valid way to pay the bills. So what if Namjoon is giving up all of his gay firsts to his best friend every Saturday and broadcasting it to the world? He's 99% sure that it's going to be chill.
[4/10/16 4:51:06 AM] Namjoon sorry i’m stupid
[4/10/16 4:55:10 AM] Namjoon That’s not how I was supposed to do it... I even looked it up haha
[4/10/16 4:55:35 AM] Namjoon was supposed to say something like things’ve been hard lately and i need to talk. idk? i know we’ve talked about my depression before but
[4/10/16 4:56:01 AM] Namjoon I’m sorry, Yoongi.
[4/10/16 4:57:00 AM] Namjoon At least it says you’re reading the messages immediately :)

- Fall into somebody's head;
- Figure out what's wrong;
- Fix it;
- Fade out, rinse, repeat.
Simple, really. Foolproof. The problem is that Kim Namjoon isn't a fool, and takes a little bit more time. A little bit more work. A little bit more attention.
Sometimes when you're having a sad day, you just need your boyfriend to ramble philosophical while you go down on him
It's been two thousand, six hundred, and eight days since Namjoon left to outer space.
It's been one thousand, eight hundred, and eight days since he promised to be back.
/
Or:
Namjoon comes back home after seven long years. Yoongi has spent every day waiting for him.
He doesn't know if Namjoon is the same person he remembers.
