Expect The Unexpected | 8

There’s people out there (Namjoon) who are so brilliant (Namjoon), so intelligent (Namjoon), they self taught a difficult foreign language (Namjoon) from watching a comedy show (Namjoon), people whose brilliance isn’t appreciated enough (Namjoon), people whose wordplay leaves me speechless (Namjoon), people whose speeches always leave me mesmerized and make me reflect on my life (Namjoon), people who have really admirable qualities (Namjoon), people who learn from their mistakes and strive to better themselves (Namjoon), people who put aside their insecurities and discomfort just to inspire many ( Namjoon), people who care about others as much or even more than they care about themselves and that’s why they make great leaders (Namjoon), people whose talent needs to appreciated more (Namjoon). Imagine not appreciating such people (Namjoon) for existing. Can’t relate.

(Dragon! Yoongi x Reader) (Ft. Baby! Jungkook and Baby Dragon! Hoseok)

A/N: Finally found the comic that inspired this series, everyone go take a look at @/dam-daung-ju’s Dragon Yoongi and knight! Hoseok comic on twitter!

PART 1

- “Move into my home Y/n, let me take care of you and our son, please- let me.”

- You’ve never heard Yoongi beg, and he isn’t in the habit of doing it often or even asking for things at all. And so you agree, He picks you up by your waist and spins your around and scent marks you along your neck, a wide gummy smile tugging across his lips the whole time- absolutely ecstatic that you’ve agreed.

- And though you smile too, especially when Jungkook runs around your legs and shrieks in delight- you’d be lying if you said you didn’t feel a tiny- little- minuscule bit of trepidation about moving into a dragon’s den. Would it be basic? would it be basically like living in a cave, would it be warm?

- Whatever it is you’re expecting- Yoongi’s den is definitely not that.

expect the unexpected | 16

(smau at the end)

Last night you got an emergency phone call from your dad saying that your mom was currently in the hospital. And because your sister just recently moved out of their house (to Canada to be specific), your dad called you to help out. 

Of course it was urgent, having you to hurriedly pack after the phone call and leaving the morning after.

Which is right now.

“Sohyun’s outside,” you tell Jin, holding onto your luggage. Sohyun offered to pick you up and take you to the train station since she was the one opening the bakery today. She said, and I quote: “Jin’s going to take you? Wouldn’t you have to bring all three kids with you? It’s 6 in the morning, I’ll just take you!”

A yawn escaped out of Jin’s mouth, he was sitting on the couch with Haneul on his chest. All three kids were awake to watch you off. 

“Okay,” Jin says, standing up from his seat. Minseok and Soojin get up as well, running to the front door. Minseok opens it for you.

“Mommy, when are you coming back?” Soojin asks, hugging the door frame as you walk past.

“I’ll be back in a week, don’t worry, daddy will stay and take care of you three,” you tell her, stopping right outside the door.

“Will we be going to work with daddy?” Minseok asks you. You don’t know why they’re asking you when Jin is right behind them.

“That or daddy will work at home,” you tell him. “Now give me a hug and kiss, I have to go so I don’t miss my train.” You let go of your luggage, kneeling down to hug your kids, giving them both a kiss on the cheek. “Be good and listen to daddy okay? This is his first time taking care of all three of you by himself for as long as a week, don’t stress him out.” This was also the first time you’ll be away from your kids for this long and this far. 

“We’ll be good mommy,” Minseok says, smiling up at you as you stand up. 

“I know you will,” you say, booping his nose. “But make sure your little sister and brother do too.”

“I’m always good!” Soojin yells, raising her arms up. 

“Sure,” you laugh, ruffling her already messy hair. You then face Jin and Haneul, walking up to them to give them a big hug. Jin wraps an arm around you, placing his cheek on your head that you placed on his chest so you’re then facing Haneul.

“Especially you, be good okay?” You say, raising your eyebrows at him. He responds with a few blinks. Then a big yawn. Jin pulls his head away from you to place a kiss on your forehead, making you look up and he presses another one on your lips. 

“I can take care of them no worries,” He tells you. “Now go, Sohyun’s waiting.” You nod, leaning over to give Haneul a kiss on the cheek as well. 

You gave Jin one more kiss before you pulled away from them, grabbing your luggage and walking off.

“BYE MOMMY!” Soojin yells. You turn around and wave at them. Soojin is frantically waving while all three of your boys are waving sleepily. 

Let’s hope that Jin remembers to take your two oldest to school today.

-

*ring ring!* 

“I’ll pick you two up later okay? Make sure you finish your lunch, I love you!” Jin yells out of his car window as he dropped off Minseok and Soojin at school. 

“We love you!” They both yelled before running off to their friends.

Jin rolled the windows up before picking up his phone, it was Yeonjun.

“Good morning sir! I stopped by to grab coffee before heading to the building. I’ll bring it up to your office when I get there. I also have your schedule for the day and–”

“Oh, Yeonjun, I forgot to tell you, but something urgent happened last night with Yn’s mom and she had to leave for Gwangju this morning. I’ll be working from home today, do you mind just sending me today’s agenda?” Jin says. He puts the phone on speaker, placing it on the passenger seat and driving out of the school’s drop off. 

“Oh, I see. Yes, I’ll send it to you right now sir. Do you want me to come over and help out?” Yeonjun says. Jin tilts his head to the side, thinking. He looked at Haneul from the rearview mirror and, for once, he was calm and quiet.

“I should be okay. It’s just Haneul I’m taking care of right now. Thank you though Yeonjun, I’ll call you if anything– oh and are you already at the building?”

“Yes sir, I just pulled up umm I have your co–”

“You should give the coffee to our receptionist,” Jin says. You’re sure that Yeonjun can see the smile Jin had on his face right now, just by listening to his voice. 

“You mean Miya? She’s just a friend– coworker even,” Yeonjun responds, nervousness lacing his voice.

“Sure, sure she is. Well then you shouldn’t even have any worries giving them to her since she’s just a “coworker” right?” Jin says. 

“Good bye sir,” Yeonjun says, hanging up the phone. 

“Haneul-ah, do you want to stop by Auntie Sohu’s?” Jin says, looking at the rearview again. Haneul’s face instantly lights up and he starts smiling and kicking his feet.

“Yes yes!” He yells. Jin smiles, taking a left and driving straight to the iconic 24/7 Heaven. He figured that if he starts off the day well with Haneul, maybe he’ll be good for the remainder of the day. At least while Jin is working.

I guess you can say he’s bribing his son with dough.. cookie dough… baked cookie dough.. cookies, okay yeah he’s bribing Haneul with cookies.

-

Jin opens the door to the bakery, letting little Haneul run it.

Haneul waves at the workers, they knew him at this point. Although Haneul is raising his head, looking around for a certain someone.

“Haneul!” yelled Rina as she walked out of the kitchen. “Good morning~” She says, waving at him from behind the counter. Rina then looks up as she sees a figure coming closer.

She burst out laughing right when her eyes landed on Jin.

“What?” Jin asks, quite offended that that’s how she reacted to seeing him.

“Dude,” she says, pointing at Jin. “Did you mean to come in like that?” Jin frowns, looking down at what she was pointing at. His eyes widened when he saw what he was wearing. His blue pajama set with the super hero masks all over. He scratches his head.

“I guess I got caught up with making sure the kids got dressed and ready for school, I forgot to check myself..” 

Rina waves her hand in front of her, “no worries, Jungkook once walked out of the house without pants on to walk Sian to school. It happens.”

-

“Say thank you to Auntie Rin,” Jin says, carrying Haneul. He had his arms hugging a small bag of cookies.

“Thank chuu~” He says, holding up a little finger heart.

“You’re welcome,” Rina says, waving at them. “I’ll see you two soon.” The two walked out together and made their way back to the car.

“Can we go to Uncle Taetae now,” Haneul says, reaching into the bag. “I want to draw.” 

Jin shakes his head. “Daddy has to go to work now, you can draw when we get home.” Haneul pouts. Taehyung recently opened up a small art school where he gives little art lessons to young kids, maybe even adults. Anyone is welcome really. But it’s aimed towards kids. Okay in all honesty, it’s for kids. But Taehyung couldn’t say no to the parents who wanted to join.

And by parents I mean the moms of the group. 

Anyways, since The Scenery opened, you often took Haneul there while his siblings were in school. It felt like a little preschool as he was able to play with other kids and he was pretty good at listening to Taehyung whenever he was teaching him. He’s definitely going to be the artist out of them three. 

It was a quiet walk to their car, but all of a sudden Jin hears sniffles coming from Haneul. He furrows his brows as he looks down at his youngest.

Silent tears were streaming down his soft cheeks.

“Oh- Why are you crying?” Jin asks. They got to his car and Haneul wasn’t answering, but continued to sniffle. Jin opens the back door and places Haneul in his car seat, buckling him up. Haneul continued to sniffle, wiping his eyes with his little fists.

“Haneul-ah,” Jin says. Haneul refused to make eye contact with his dad, keeping his eyes down instead. “Haneul,” Jin repeats. “Why are you sad?”

“I want– I want mommy,” he says in a low voice. Jin sighs.

“Is it because we can’t go to Uncle Taehyung’s right now?” Jin says, Haneul nods. Jin stood there for a bit, thinking.

He knew that he could just take Haneul to The Scenery and drop him off there, come back when he’s done with his meetings or when he needs to pick up his oldests, but it didn’t feel right. He can just make Haneul happy, taking him to Tae’s, and be able to do his work peacefully, but it felt wrong. It would be a win win for both of them, but deep down, he knew you wouldn’t want that. As much as possible he wants to be with the kids, even if he has to work at the same time. I mean, that’s what you do.

“Okay well why don’t we compromise,” Jin says, knowing well that Haneul has no idea what that word even means. “If you come to work with me, we can go to Uncle Tae’s after, deal?” Jin offers Haneul his hand to shake and Haneul grabs it, not knowing exactly what he just agreed to.

-

“Mr. Kim I sent you the link to your meeting, it should be starting in approximately ten minutes,” Yeonjun says over the phone. Jin was currently sitting at his desk with his laptop open in front of him. No longer in his pajamas by the way, he’s now in his white dress shirt and tie. 

“Okay, I’m logging in right now, thanks again Yeonjun.” Jin clicks on the link that Yeonjun sent him, entering the meeting that he had with Mr. Lee. They had to discuss his new location that was opening in Busan. 

“Alright Haneul, I set up your little table over there for you to draw. My meeting shouldn’t take too long so just draw for a bit and then we can go to Uncle Taetae’s,” Jin says, putting Haneul down as he was previously sitting in his lap. 

“Good morning Mr. Lee,” Jin says as soon as he got into the meeting, immediately seeing Mr. Lee’s face on the screen. 

Haneul walks to his small table, he looks over at his dad and sees him smiling as he is conversing with his business partner. He turns to the piece of paper in front of him and starts to doodle.

~

An hour and a half passes by, which in baby time is FOREVER, and Haneul begins to get bored. His dad was still not done talking to Mr. Lee. 

Haneul decided that he was over drawing and that he didn’t want to go to Uncle Tae’s anymore. He just spent an hour and a half doing what he would be doing at The Scenery and he’s tired of it. 

Haneul picks out his best drawing and walks up to his dad. 

“Daddy!” Haneul yells, holding up his drawing. It was a bunch of scribbles and shapes, but, if you looked very hard, it kind of looked like a nice house next to a big green tree. “All done!” 

Jin looks down and laughs, turning back to the screen. “I’m sorry sir, I’m currently on daddy duty so I have my son with me here.”

“Oh it’s alright, can I see him?” The older man asks. Jin nods his head, turning to the side to pick up Haneul and having him sit on his lap.

“Haneul this is Mr. Lee, he’s helping us open up another building in Busan. Say hi,” Jin says. Haneul shyly waves at the screen, then he turns around and wraps his arms around Jin’s neck. 

“Oh he’s a shy one isn’t he,” Mr. Lee says, smiling widely on the screen. “He reminds me of my youngest grandson. He’s just like that.”

“He’s usually not so shy, I think he just misses his mom and isn’t used to me being home alone with him like this,” Jin explains. “Haneul-ah,” he says, turning his head to look at Haneul. “Daddy’s just going to finish up okay, you can go finish your drawings.” Haneul whines in response, turning his head to the side, away from Jin’s face. Jin laughs awkwardly towards the camera. 

“I’m sorry about this,” he tells Mr. Lee.

“Don’t worry about it, it’s okay.”

“Haneul can you go down please?” Jin whispers to Haneul, he mumbles a small ‘no’. Jin sighs, smiling back up at the screen. “I’m afraid we’re going to just have to continue this meeting like this sir.”

-

Finally, Jin’s meeting ends and he closes his laptop shut. Fortunately, there wasn’t much left for him to do the rest of the day. Majority of today’s schedule was just photoshoots where he did not have to be in attendance. Other meetings were postponed to a later date, so now he was free for any father-son bonding. Although if he was at his office in his building right now, paperwork is what he would be doing.

Jin pats Haneul’s back, “you want to go to Uncle Tae’s now?” Jin waited for a response but all he could hear was light snoring. 

Haneul had his head resting on Jin’s shoulder while one arm was wrapped around his neck and the other was holding on to his drawing. Jin grabs the drawing from Haneul’s little hands, placing it on his desk. He then gets up from his seat and makes his way to the living room.

It wasn’t often that Jin was home alone this early with the kids. Actually, it was almost noon already, he should be preparing lunch for himself and Haneul. 

“Haneul?” Jin coos, patting his son’s back in order to wake him up. Haneul doesn’t budge, instead cuddling closer into Jin’s shoulder. “Aigoo~” Jin looked at the time and there were still a few more hours until they had to go pick up Minseok and Soojin. “Alright, maybe we could nap before we pick up your siblings,” he says, walking to the couch and slowly sitting down so he doesn’t wake his baby up. “Just for an hour,” he says, as he lays his back down on the couch. “Then… then we can get your siblings..”

Right when he shut his eyes, he was gone.

DreamSMP but Dream is a an ex-prisoner cottage core dad

After Dream gets out of prison, he goes to life on his own, far away from the SMP in an area no one has settled in, in a nice little plains area where he can make a cute cottage and a nice farm, near a village so he wouldn’t be lonely.

Some time into his peaceful isolation, he finds Friend. And he’s confused.

Because wasn’t Friend Ghostbur and Tommy’s sheep? Why was he out here? So far away from the SMP!

He couldn’t just return Friend, could he? If he returned to the SMP, they’d probably think he stole Friend. Tommy would definitely try to kill him.

But, as Dream finished his gardening and harvesting, he watched the iconic blue sheep dig into the bits of foods he had thrown out. Friend had been forgotten about. With his infinite lives, it wasn’t a surprise that people easily lost track of him. Poor Friend. In trying to give Ghostbur a friend he could always have, Kristen had cursed the animal with eternal loneliness.

Well, until Dream lost his final life, he could be Friend’s companion. Besides, Dream had been meaning to collect some farm animals, whether from the nearest village or from out in the plains. Friend made the perfect first addition to his farm. 

Time passed of Dream and Friend in their home way out in a beautiful plains biome. Watching the sun rise and set, bringing new days of both relaxing and stressful days. Days where Dream would take Friend into the village or to explore for hours or days where Dream could barely even feed Friend and tend to the farm without collapsing into a heap of agonized trauma and guilt, apologizing vehemently to the blue sheep for hurting his friends.

One warm, sunny day, Dream was lying out in the field with Friend, watching the sheep graze happily while writing away in a journal when his keen eyes- trained from years of manhunts and tormenting people and lying awake watching for the faintest movement against obsidian walls- noticed movement over by the village, something that didn’t belong. 

A fox? No, it was definitely human-shaped. With fox ears and a fluffy blonde tail that reminded him of the L’Manburgian fox man he had had a brief yet serious relationship with.

But that wasn’t Fundy. Fundy was more of a fox than a hybrid anyways. This was a guaranteed fox-hybrid. And those were rare. Foxes were such skittish creatures that even the more anthropomorphic ones didn’t really engage in relationships with humans. 

Riddled with curiosity, Dream closed his journal and tucked it into the satchel on his shoulder, brushing away stray blades of grass and dirt on his long skirt- now Dream understood why Niki and Puffy loved to wear skirts back when they weren’t fighting in wars, they were very comfortable and freeing, it didn’t feel like Dream was trapped in his own skin- before starting off toward the village.

When he gets there, he finds a blonde little fox hybrid. Upon further investigation, he learns that his brief yet serious relationship with Fundy had led to an unexpected turn that he had never been informed of. So, after working through all of the feelings that came with finding out you had a daughter you never knew about, Dream takes in the fox that had come looking for him, fittingly named Hope by Fundy.

That was fine. Just Dream, Friend, Hope, and their farm. A wonderful hodgepodge that would… make life more interesting than before. At least Dream wouldn’t be lonely, and his sudden daughter’s presence could give him that feeling of love he hadn’t had since he gave George kingship.

Dream should have expected it.

He should have, and he didn’t know why he wasn’t prepared.

Honestly, it was as if the gods wanted to keep him on his toes.

Staring down at the two zombie pigmen kids and the brown horse following them, Dream honestly should have expected this, for someone else’s kids to end up on his front porch, with a horse. Who else could this happen to besides him? Well, maybe Ranboo and Tommy, actually.

The horse was Andrew. Apparently, according to Michael- whom he recognized from conversations in prison with Technoblade and brief whispers before he had been put into Pandora’s Vault- Andrew was an old horse of Technoblade’s that he had hidden away for being the perfect horse. Better than Carl, oddly enough. Techno must have forgotten about him, but Michael and Michelle- Puffy’s baby pigman kid, as it turns out- had found him and took him with to come find Friend.

So, just like with Friend and Hope, Dream let them stay.

He didn’t know why. Tubbo and Ranboo would move Heaven and Earth to find Michael. They would come looking for him, from what he remembers of Snowchester in the one week before he had been imprisoned, from what Tecnoblade had briefly mentioned to him. They would find Michael, and then they would find Dream and accuse him of kidnapping their son, and then they would kill him and take all of them back to the SMP.

He would just have to make sure he protects them. 

And he would protect them, just like he had protected Friend and Hope, and like he had protected George, like he had protected Tommy before everything had gone so far downhill he could never return to his old life before Tommy and Wilbur and before L’Manburg.

He would protect these kids. Because, if they were here, and were asking to stay, then they obviously wanted to be here, away from the SMP.

Right?

Okay. Okay!

Dream had just assumed it was Kristen trying to twist fate to give him a family.

He had even assumed Drista was playing tricks on him at some point, but now it was almost terrifying how easy it was for the kids and pets of the SMP to find him.

It was as if all of the gods were trying to bring them to him. Like the gods were just guiding the them all hand-in-hand. 

What the hell?

Exhausted and dressed in just a long t-shirt and shorts, Dream stared at the dog and fox sitting on his porch with an old button in the dog’s mouth. He slowly crouched, resting on his haunches as he reached forward to look at the nametags the animals wore.

Okay, he definitely wasn’t expecting these two.

L’Dog and Mushroom?

Those were the animals from Pogtopia!

Had they really just been left there? When Pogtopia vacated, had nobody really come for them? Dream vaguely remembered seeing Niki playing with a fox down in Pogtopia, was Mushroom hers?

He remembered L’Dog, though. Back when he had given Wilbur all that TNT…

These poor animals, forgotten about and abandoned. At least they had been safe in Pogtopia, but… that probably wasn’t any better than the alternative. Being so lonely in a cold, empty ravine, wondering when their family would come back for them.

With a heavy sigh, Dream pushed the door open further and allowed the dirty animals inside. He’d bathe them in the morning, when he was more awake and aware.

Tired green eyes watched as L’Dog, tail wagging and happy as can be, hopped up onto the living room sofa, softly woofing with excitement as he watched Dream shut the door. Even if he wasn’t really pleased with how big his new home was getting, he smiled at the two animals that finally had a family once again. 

Yeah.

Dream was happy with how this was turning out.

By the end of the summer, Dream had amassed enough of a following to be considered a mini zoo. He was happy with it, but he still had that worry that someone was going to come and find him and his newfound family. 

On most days, he was too busy caring for the farm and everyone within it to be really concerned about that impending threat, though. And it wasn’t like he didn’t have a plan.

When he first arrived in this land, he didn’t. He had limited himself to just iron tools and armor. He didn’t want to tempt himself with anything better than that, always refusing any of the diamonds the villagers nearby would offer, always ignoring the twinkling blue ores in caves in favor of coal, gold, and iron. 

But when everyone started showing up, he knew that he would need a plan. Some way to protect them all in case someone came looking. So he set up the backup plan. Hidden deep down in bedrock, so far down that he wouldn’t even think of going unless absolutely necessary, was his panic room, full of armor and tools, enchanting books and tables and everything he would need to protect his family. Everything he would need if he was going to care for these runaways.

Because Dream cared for his family. And he wasn’t going to let them end up like his last one had. He was going to make sure of that.
