Dating Yoongi sometimes felt less like having a boyfriend and more like accidentally adopting a very patient, mildly confused husband.

The age gap was obvious in the smallest things.

Like when you sent him TikToks at three in the morning and he replied twelve hours later with: “Why is the text moving so fast.”

Or when you dragged him into stores just to smell candles you had zero intention of buying while he stood there with his hands in his pockets looking deeply concerned.

“You already own a candle.”

“This one smells like expensive rain.”

“…Rain is free.”

Then there was the time you made him wait in line for forty minutes because you wanted a photobooth strip with “flashy y2k vibes,” and Yoongi spent the entire time staring at the teenagers around him like he’d accidentally wandered onto a high school field trip.

Still, he always followed you around anyway.

Quietly.

Patiently.

Like he genuinely didn’t understand half the things you did but liked you too much to care.

Most days, he was buried in his studio working on songs, surrounded by coffee cups and unfinished lyrics while you sat upside down on the couch bothering him for attention.

“Do you wanna do this trend with me?”

“No.”

Five minutes later he’d sigh dramatically and move his laptop aside anyway.

Tonight was no different.

You were laying across his studio couch scrolling through TikTok while Yoongi adjusted something on the mixing board, headphones around his neck.

Then you gasped.

“Oh my god.”

Yoongi didn’t even look up. “That sentence never ends well.”

You sat up immediately. “We’re doing this one.”

He finally glanced over.

On your screen, a couple’s challenge was playing. If both people pointed at the same chip bag flavor, the boyfriend had to buy the girlfriend a Chanel bag.

Yoongi stared at the video for a long moment.

Then at you.

Then back at the video.

“…That’s the whole game?”

“Yes.”

“And if we lose, I buy you Chanel?”

You grinned. “Exactly.”

Yoongi blinked once like he was trying to process modern society in real time.

Then he reached for his phone instead.

A second later, your messages lit up.

if you want a Chanel bag just say that i’ll take you later after work

You looked up at him in disbelief.

“That’s not the trend.”

Yoongi shrugged calmly, already turning back to his equipment.

“I’m too old for games.”
