Chapter Text
Min Yoongi is currently enrolled in Music Production in one of the elite graduate schools in Korea. His family owns a lot of legitimate businesses (they gotta make all those dirty money circulate the market, in a way), so whenever someone asks what his family does for a living, then you can also say he's the heir of the largest soju and wine distributors in East Asia, with their hands dipped into stock market, snacks, clubs and the likes; making them very rich, just from the legitimate businesses they own. However this money needs to have power backing them up lest politicians be milking them for every cent they earn, which comes from the actual family business that had been passed for generations of Min:
The Mins. The underworld of Korea. The backers of lawmakers that if you wanted to run for a public post, better get a Min as a sponsor and you'd be sure to win. They basically handle the strings behind what makes Seoul, but an heir needs a diploma. Needs to look smart and be smart. Which is why all Mins live a simple life young, to know what they should earn money and power for. They don't just have to be book smart, but street smart. Hence they're torn from the family while young and raised by their mothers away from their father, living while working until they graduate highschool. Although as the younger brother of Min's heir, yoongi is taking it in stride as Geumjae is set to inherit his father's place. He's just a back-up for his older brother hence he's allowed to live more freely. He's allowed to fall in love.
He is in love.
The music class had to tie up with the dance class to create a musical performance for a project. The stars aligned when yoongi landed his eyes on Park Jimin, his partner for the said project. To say that yoongi held his breath after seeing the most beautiful man he has ever met (scratch that- Park Jimin is the most gorgeous human being) is an understatement. His chest was definitely pounding hard and his cheeks blushed when Jimin reached out a hand and he simply kept staring earning a giggle from Jimin and ffffuck if those were not bells he hears tinkling. He swears that must have been the wedding bells in his daydream of marrying this angel before he reaches out his hand to shake Jimin's.
"Nice meeting you. I'm Yoongi, you can just call me hyung since we'll be working on the project."
Park Jimin giggles accepting yoongi's handshake, with his other hand in a curl trying to hide his smile. Yoongi thinks he should have his eye checked if he's seeing Jimin's crescent eyes are shimmering.
"Nice to meet you, Hyung. I'm Park Jimin. Hoping we could ace this project."
If Yoongi didn't fall in love during that day, he definitely did when he saw Jimin start choreographing for a song he made in the past. After Jimin managed to think the routine was good enough and he approached to ask yoongi what did he think of it, yoongi can only matter the words, "you're an angel."
It sunk in to yoongi too late when he saw Jimin blushing and saying thanks to him already. "I-I mean, well," yoongi scratched his nape in embarrassment, "you really looked like an angel, i think it blended well with the music and fit in the concept so good. We just need to practice on really matching the pace of your dance and the music, and everyone will defintely kneel before you. I-I mean, yeah it was just really good."
Yoongi's quite sure he's blushing now.
Park Jimin lived a pretty normal life in Busan. He has loving parents and a younger brother who looks very much like him. They own a small cafe in their quaint town, which in by no means popular, but enough for their daily needs to be met. He was an honor student who managed to get a full scholarship to one of the elite universities in seoul when a school official saw his dance in a for a cause event in school. They said his dancing is very rare and natural, and with his grades as valedictorian, they believe he can be one of the best contemporary dancers in no time. With this kind of opportunity coming only once in a lifetime, he packed his bags and left his quiet life for a lonely dorm room in seoul, focusing his life to his studies in contemporary dancing.
Until he met Min Yoongi.
The first time he saw Min yoongi was actually in a club (he couldn't resist jungkook when he said he'll pay for the entrance fee, drinks and fare just for him to accompany him bc "his parents are really strict and they trust Jimin as he'd been a good influence and exemplary student famous for being one of the few granted a scholarship in such a precious university", as jk pleaded for him to come and be a chaperone bc he had already promised taehyung he's gonna be at seokjin's , apparently taehyung's brother, bday party). He was just bobbing his head to the music and thought it was a really great rendition when he saw how cool the dj was, on a raised platform, seemingly enjoying with headphones in his ears bobbing his head to the music while his large, long hands were handling the spins.
Oh my god, did jimin bit his lips on how he'd want to tap that. But then alas, he's in seoul to study and hooking up isn't really his forte. So he let him go that night, and went bk to his dorm with JK, his neighbor in the dorms, in the wee hours of the morning, pleasantly buzzed and sleeping in until the start of his classes in the afternoon. Then the project was announced, their class went to the grads music classroom to meet their assigned partners and giddy Jimin was when he asked a student who Min yoongi was and pointed him to a student in the farcorner of a classroom, with another headphone on his head and was listening intently to music. So when he approached Min yoongi, he had to tap his desk and said hi. He was sure that flies could have entered yoongi's mouth when it just flapped open upon seeing jimin, their eyes trained on each other making jimin's eyebrow go up as if to say, yeah? What's up?
When that didn't work, he showed the sheet on his hand showing their names as partners for the project and stretched out his hand as if to gesture hello, and that's the only time yoongi pulled down his headphones. He swore he saw yoongi's adam's apple bob and yoongi stuttering as he said his niceties.
