Title: The Life Of An Idiotic Couple | Park Jimin FF
Chapter 1: The Idiotic Couple
Marie had always been the type of girl who wore her heart on her sleeve. With wild, curly hair that danced around her shoulders and a laugh that could light up the darkest of rooms, she stumbled through life with an innocence that shielded her from the harsh realities surrounding her. But that wasn’t to say she was without her quirks—she had a penchant for finding trouble in the most mundane situations.
Enter Park Jimin, the soft-hearted dance machine of BTS, who had fallen hopelessly for her chaotic charm. Their relationship was anything but ordinary, often teetering on the edge of ridiculousness, thanks to their inherent idiotic tendencies.
On that fateful day, Marie was sprawled across the couch, a bucket of popcorn in tow while she flicked through various shows on Netflix. “Ugh, how do they expect me to pick one out of a thousand? This is torture!” she whined dramatically, throwing her hands in the air.
Jimin, who had just returned from dance practice, chuckled as he leaned against the door frame, his heart fluttering at the sight of her. “Just pick one, Marie. You could always watch that cheesy rom-com you love so much—what’s it called again? ‘Love, Actually, Not Really’?”
Marie shot him a glare. “Ew, that’s not even the title. Plus, I don’t want to watch something predictable!” She dramatically flopped back down on the couch, her orange curls bouncing around her like a halo of chaos.
With a smirk, Jimin crossed the room and plopped down next to her, causing the popcorn to scatter in all directions. “Predictable, huh? Then how about the thriller where the couple gets stuck in a haunted house? Or is that too scary for you?” He wiggled his eyebrows mischievously.
“Seriously, Jimin? You know I can’t handle horror movies. I’ll end up hiding behind you the whole time,” she replied, elbowing him playfully in the ribs.
Jimin feigned a gasp, placing a hand over his heart. “How dare you? I refuse to be your emotional pillow! If I’m going to be your boyfriend, I deserve more than that!”
Marie leaned in closer, an impish grin spreading on her face. “Oh really? What do you deserve? Some delicious home-cooked meal or a sweet pampering day?” she teased.
“Both would be perfect! And maybe—” Just then, the door swung open, and the entire BTS crew filed in, causing Jimin to cough and lose his train of thought.
“Did we interrupt something?” Taehyung asked, his eyes sparkling with mischief as he eyed the popcorn strewn across the floor.
“Nope! Just planning our wedding,” Marie replied, wide-eyed, as she held Jimin’s arm, amplifying his look of both panic and confusion.
“Your wedding?” Jungkook snorted, raising an eyebrow. “You two are never going to survive longer than a week in a marriage. Didn’t you get lost in a grocery store last week?”
Marie crossed her arms defiantly. “That was one time! And I found out that grocery stores are ridiculous labyrinths meant to confuse us!”
“More like you turned around and walked straight into the cereal aisle for an hour,” Jin teased, ruffling her hair affectionately.
“Okay, okay,” Jimin interjected, desperation singing in his voice. “Can we please drop the wedding topic? I’m not ready for it yet!”
“Like you’ll ever be ready,” Namjoon chimed in, leaning against the kitchen counter. “But honestly, you would make a great couple if you didn't bicker so much.”
“What do you mean, bicker? This is fun! Right, Marie?” Jimin shot her a look that clearly requested her full support.
“Totally,” Marie replied, grinning. “But for the record, I still think we should do the haunted house movie. Maybe it’ll prepare us for all the ghostly arguments we’ll have when we’re married.”
“Marie, sweetie, you’re not making this any easier for me,” Jimin groaned dramatically, yet he couldn’t hide the smile creeping on his lips.
“Yeah, see? I told you they’d be great!” Yoongi said, crossing his arms and nodding his head. “Arthur and his wife were the same way.”
“Arthur? You mean the cartoon aardvark?” Marie quizzed.
Biting a laugh, Taehyung stepped in. “Let me guess, you researched him too. What, you think you're going to be living in Elwood City someday?”
“Listen! Arthur and his friends taught me valuable lessons,” Marie defended herself. “Like, never trust a rabbit who wears glasses… or always have a back-up plan in case your best friend also ditches you for a saxophone.”
“Marie, your loyalty to fiction is alarming,” Jimin said, shaking his head, though his laughter betrayed him.
“Don’t you dare mock my fictional friends, Jimin! They’re here for me when you’re busy being a global superstar,” she said with an exaggerated pout.
“Touché,” Jimin retorted, a glimmer of amusement in his eyes. “But I’m still here now, which means it’s time to deal with the popcorn explosion you insisted on creating!”
“Oh, let’s not pretend you’re not gleefully part of it,” Marie chuckled, tossing a stray piece of popcorn at him.
“You’re lucky I can’t resist your charm, Marie,” Jimin replied, surprising himself with how honest he was right then. “I mean, who else would I want to endure this idiocracy with?”
“Aww, Jimin, that’s kinda sweet!” she exclaimed, nudging him playfully with her shoulder. “Apparently, I kicked it into full gear with my idiocity—now we’re both doomed!”
“Doomed, but in a cute way,” Namjoon added, earning a round of chuckles from the group.
“The kind of cute we can sell on Instagram for fire likes,” Taehyung smirked, already planning a couple photoshoot for their ‘idiotic couple’ aesthetic.
Just then, the atmosphere shifted, the laughter morphed into an easier conversation. The unspoken bond that tethered them all—both as friends and as a semi-functional group—was evident. Even as Marie and Jimin swam through their quirks and chaotic ways, they thrived – and somehow, everyone seemed utterly content to witness their absurdity unfold.
“Let’s just promise each other one thing,” Marie said, stealing their attention. “If we make it through this movie night without fighting, we’re automatically engaged, right? Because that’s how relationships work!”
The room erupted in laughter again, and despite the odds of the couple's ventures, it was clear that their journey was just beginning.
“Fine. Deal,” Jimin said, chuckling. He pulled her close, their laughter still lighting up the room, ready to tackle whatever came next.
