to think it'd still be you (of course it's still you) by scarletstring

  • 61k words | 5/6 chapters | ongoing

Jimin is many things: a friend, a swimmer, a childhood crush, and not very touchy. Except Jimin doesn’t seem like herself — not really. Lately she’s been giving Minjeong heart attacks every time her arm finds a spot around her waist. Or her shoulders. Or her hips. Like it's the most natural thing to do.

Minjeong swears Jimin was fine just yesterday. Despite the headaches.

So why does it feel like she doesn’t know Jimin anymore?

  • i swear this fic is one of the most well-written and crazy fics i have ever read. the body swap/parallel universe concept with jmj fits them so well because of how well minjeong knows jimin and her differences, yet still loving her all the same. the soulmatism is OFF the charts in this one. rereading this fics hits hard too because of all the foreshadowing in prev chapters

Now, don’t get her wrong—Minjeong is not ashamed of being an omega. If anything, she’s proud of it. If she could, she’d join those protests that their college’s support group organizes against omega discrimination. Seriously, does anyone think she wants to mask her scent with cheap Axe body spray just to pass as a beta? Hell no! But life has a way of forcing her hand and well, to pursue her dream of playing on the college basketball team, she’s had to fake it as a beta.

or Minjeong desperately wants to hide she's an omega and the alpha she hates the most helps her.

  • based off All of Us Are Dead

It was common sense that the world would end millions of years from now. Whether it be intergalactic meteors crashing down and blowing up the Earth into bits and pieces, or global warming hitting an all-time high and melting the planet down to its core.

But instead, it’s the 21st century, and zombies have infested the city of Hyosan—rapidly expanding to the rest of South Korea. The students of Hyosan Girls’ High School were stuck at the epicenter, with no way of knowing who would and wouldn’t survive this deadly outbreak.

And Yu Jimin, a troubled student, couldn’t wait for her end to come any faster than the world’s.
