I’m Not Yours | kth. I
↠ pairing: Kim Taehyung x Female Reader
↠ summary: Being set up with someone when you’re not looking to date is pretty tough.
Being set up with someone who has no interest in you is pretty hard too.
However, being set up with someone who is head over heels for your best friend? Now that’s a challenge within itself.
↠ genre: college au, strangers to lovers, friends to lovers, a messy love triangle, fratboy!tae, angst, fluff & smut
↠ warnings: swearing, anxiety, bickering, discussion of feelings, hints of a toxic friendship, allusions to insecurities (readers), mention of unstable family, talks of a one-sided love, a quiet and reserved taehyung (can be daunting👀), depictions of taehyung being sad, Oc has a named surname for a reason that is revealed later, kissing, making out, taehyung kisses reader abruptly but she kisses him back, quite a sudden turning point is made at the end… and yep :)
↠ a/n: hello! here is my first fic with the one and only, kim taehyung! a college au with fratboy!tae? yes please!! this will be a series which i will be actively working on :) i hope you don’t have to wait too long between chapters & that you enjoy following this series with me! a special thanks to @taegularities for beta-ing this chapter 💗 as well & to @kookiestarlight for having a read and sending me words of encouragement ☺️ thank you to @monvante for the lovely banner which i adore so much 💗

chapter 1: the day we met
prev. || next || masterlist
You have finally finished getting ready for wherever Eunji was taking you.
Frankly speaking, she had no idea herself. All she was told was that the two of you had to dress competently for a function.
Or as her friend Jimin put it, “Sexy enough so someone wants to take you home.”
You watch your best friend finish off her already striking makeup with a bold red lip. Eunji has always been more of a fashionista than you, making sure that all the attention in the room is on her and preferably nobody else. It was her who had compelled you to primp up, and so here you were, looking the best you probably have in a while.
She let you borrow one of her dresses, an off-white midi dress adorned with lace upon silk, cosy to your body, its touch both light and soothing. You clipped your layered fringe back with a soft, pink bow and opted for a simple makeup look.
Getting ready for an event is not your favourite sport, so having Eunji by your side is something you thank the heavens for repeatedly every time an occasion like this rises.
You now sit on your bed, tediously playing with your plushie whilst waiting for Eunji to finish. You sigh out loudly, making her turn to look at you, wondering what could possibly be bothering you now.
“Eunji…” You trail off, waiting for a response before continuing. A slight hum indicates that she’s listening and so you continue, “are you sure this is a smart idea? I mean he just told you that he’s in love with you and you’ve planned all this?”, feeling nervous as you heat up, wiping your sweaty palms on the pillow you have placed in your lap.
