Jimin - Superman
This is 2 of 3 requests by my lovely dongsaeng Angel_Gyeom, thank you for requesting!
This is inspired by Superman by Joe Brooks
...
In the cozy warmth of a small cafe Jimin watches the small stage eagerly for his favorite small performer to do her piece. Here, at the Cozy Corner, a sort of open mic night is held every evening where anyone can do their own piece, whether it's a poem, a song, or even a short story, anyone is welcome.
That's one thing Jimin loved about working there. He also loved the environment, the smell of fresh made coffee and pastries, but most of all he loved the feeling it gave him when people were being happy, laughing and singing with each other. It was just an all around jovial place.
But his most favorite part about it was when she came to play a song. The she being Jimin's crush of almost half a year, Y/n. She comes in every week on Friday to play a song on her little f/c ukulele. Just on the surface, anyone would fall in love with her pretty h/c hair, soft s/c skin, and sparkly e/c eyes that shine when she sings. And her singing. Oh, her singing is amazing! Gentle waves of angelic chords spill from her lips with soothing traces of cheerful lightness and slight undertones of melancholy that perfectly rounds out her whole sound. Or at least that's how Jimin would describe it.
But it's not just the outside he's come to adore. It's the inside too. He hasn't had many conversations with her, and the few he's had only involved stuttered greetings from him and charming giggles from her, but it's enough to see how good of a person she is. She genuinely cares about other's well being and will ask about your day no matter what is going on with her. She always asks how he's been and even though all he's ever been able to get out is a meek 'good' she still asks everytime she comes and everytime he can't help falling a little more for her.
Jimin jumps slightly when someone snaps their fingers in front of his face and his cheeks flush when he meets the teasing eyes of his best friend and coworker. Taehyung glances at the stage with a knowing smirk before looking down at Jimin's hands. "I think that pitcher is washed enough."
Jimin looks down to find that the tea pitcher he was washing before he got lost in a daydream was indeed clean and the soap had long since stopped being soapy. Flushing again he turned on the water and rinsed it thoroughly before setting it up to make more tea.
"Were you thinking about the cute ukulele player again?" Jimin pursed his lips and adjusted his glasses in an attempt to stop any more color staining his cheeks. Taehyung knew full well that was exactly what had gotten Jimin so lost but he enjoyed teasing his easily blushing friend.
"Maybe." The boy muttered, letting his baby soft pink hair fall into his face to obscure him from Taehyung's sight, but it was no use.
Taehyung let out an amused chuckle and decided to ease up on the teasing for now. "Well, I hope you're ready to go up on that stage yourself tonight." Jimin frowned a bit at this. That's right. He had planned on going on stage tonight to perform his own piece, a song he wrote about the pretty h/c girl. At the sight of worry on his friend's face Taehyung gently patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, you're gonna do great! Just go up there and pretend you're practicing at home by yourself. It's gonna be great."
Jimin was only a bit encouraged by Taehyung. He was just so nervous! He had never performed in front of a crowd before, aside from friends and family, let alone the girl he wrote the song for! Granted, she didn't know it was about her, but Jimin knew and that was enough for him. But he couldn't drown in his thoughts too long as a sweet voice touched his ears through the few speakers scattered through the cafe.
"Hello everyone." Y/n smiled to the crowd from her perch on the little stool, the microphone lowered down to reach her. "How is everyone this evening?" A small chorus of 'good', 'okay', and a couple 'great's' were offered back to her. "Great to hear. I have another song I wrote with me today. Quick question: any new couples here tonight? Two 'strangers' on a little date?" One young looking couple near the front of the stage shyly raised their hands. "Perfect! Then this one is for you." She winked playfully before she started strumming her little ukulele.
(I absolutely love Dodie, she's so adorable ÚwÙ)
"She knows this feeling all too well
She feels her heart begin to swell
Handsome stranger, you have made her insides turn to jelly
She wants to dance around the room
Kiss you until her lips turn blue
But handsome stranger, you have made her wonder
Is she pretty?"
"You are, by the way." She adds earning a chuckle from the crowd and the girl gave a flustered laugh.
"But it's too late
She believes in fate
She's absolutely smitten
She'll never let you go
That girl just there, yes, she's the one
With Cupid's arrow in her bum
Handsome stranger, you have made her happy
The first in a long time"
The young man leaned closer to the young woman to whisper in her ear, coincidentally perfect timing for the next lines and Y/n playfully narrowed her eyes at them.
"Did you just whisper in her ear?
Words she only dreamed to hear?
Pretty lady, look at how he's smiling
I think he likes you
But it's too late
You believe in fate
You're absolutely smitten
You'll never let her go
Oooh, ooh, ah-ah, oh
Oooh, ooh, ah-ah, oh"
Jimin had been entranced by her the whole time she sang, pretty much like he always was, but when she caught his eye for the next lines he was even more drawn in.
"But it's too late
Oh, I believe in fate
I'm absolutely smitten
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
(Oooh, ooh, ah-ah, oh)
I'll never let you go
(Oooh, ooh, ah-ah)"
"Thank you, everyone! Goodnight!" She waved to the cheering crowd and left the stage. Jimin would have been clapping too had he not been blushing so hard that his brain practically exploded. Taehyung smirked at Jimin and happily shook him back to reality.
"She so likes you! This is perfect!"
"I- wha- I- huh?" Jimin was so flustered, his mind struggling to catch up with the implications and statements his friend was making.
"No time for mush brain, you're on after this guy." He slightly gestured to the man reciting poetry as he led Jimin to the back room to get him ready to go on. He closed the door behind him and immediately pulled Jimin's apron off, putting it on its respective hook, and shoving Jimin's acoustic guitar in his hands.
"I can't do this." The pink haired boy blurted nervously. "How am I supposed to follow that? I can't-"
"Jimin." Taehyung interrupted him by placing his hands on his shoulders and looking him in the eye. "You can do this. It's just one song and I guarantee it'll be one of the best things you ever do." He gently encouraged.
Jimin took a deep breath and nodded after a moment. "Right. Okay. I got this."
"You got this." Taehyung smiled and ushered him towards the door. "Now, go get 'em, tiger."
Jimin gripped his guitar nervously as he went on stage, pushing his glasses further up his nose again, and hesitantly took a seat on the stool. "H- hello. I'm Jimin. The, uh... The barista... Here. Um..." He glanced around anxiously, catching the supportive smile of his friend. "I wrote this song for a special girl, one who I hope might see me in even just a sliver of the amazing light I see her in." He couldn't help but glance at her as he spoke, being dazzled again by her smile. He set his guitar in his lap and closed his eyes with a calming sigh. I can do this.
"Oh
La, la-ra da-da-da
There are no words, to paint a picture of you girl
Your eyes, those curves, it's like you're from some other world
You walk my way, oh God it's so frustrating
So why do I disappear when you come near
It makes me feel so small
Why do I blow my lines, most every time
Like I got no chance at all
If I could be your superman
I'd fly you to the stars and back again
'Cuz every time you touched my hand
You feel my powers runnin' through your veins
But I can only write this song
And tell you that I'm not that strong
'Cuz I'm no superman, I hope you like me as I am
De-la-la
De-la-la
De-la
It ain't no lie, I have to tell you how I feel
Each time, that I try it gets a little more unreal
You say my name, oh God I can't stop shaking
So why do I disappear when you come near
It makes me feel so small
If I could read your mind
Girl would I find, any trace of me at all?
If I could be your superman
I'd fly you to the stars and back again
Cuz every time you touched my hand
You feel my powers runnin' through your veins
But I can only write this song
And tell you that I'm not that strong
Cuz I'm no superman, I hope you like me as I am
La-la-la-la
(I'm no Superman)
Yeah
Oh, la-da-da
Oh
La-la-la-la
(I'm no Superman)
If I could be your superman
I'd fly you to the stars and back again
Cuz every time you touched my hand
You feel my powers runnin' through your veins
But I can only write this song
And tell you that I'm not that strong
Cuz I'm no superman, oh, yeah
I hope you like me as I am"
Jimin looked up a bit surprised when the crowd cheered for him, but mostly at the loud cheers a certain h/c haired girl was doing. His cheeks flared with a heavy blush as he bashfully smiled. "Th-thank you. Goodnight, everyone." And he rushed off stage to the back room where Taehyung happily congratulated him actually going up there.
A couple of hours go by and Jimin can pretend that he didn't actually just sing in front of her by filling out drink orders for customers. He can pretend until she's standing in front of him at the counter, his pen falling from his fingers in slight shock. "Hi." She smiled.
"H-hi." His voice barely came out but she still heard it.
"I just wanted to say that you have a nice voice, it was very beautiful."
"I, uh, th-thank you. You too. I mean, you're beautiful too. Wait- no, I mean-" He desperately tried to say something without stuttering but anything he tried to say become stuck in his throat when she leaned over the counter and gently kissed his cheek.
"Thank you for saying I'm beautiful. Would you like to go on a date with me one day?"
He was so shocked. The girl he'd had eyes for for so long was asking him on a date and all he could do was gape like a fish. Luckily for him Taehyung was able to come to his rescue. "Yes. Yes he would."
"Perfect." She smiled and picked up Jimin's dropped pen and a piece of scrap paper from her bag, jotting down her number and sliding the items towards him when she was done. "Call me sometime and we can plan a day. Goodnight, Jimin." She left the cafe with a small wave and a smile.
"Night." Jimin muttered in a daze. He picked up the paper and looked down at the numbers that would allow him to talk to her outside of the cafe.
"I told you she liked you too!" Taehyung exclaimed excitedly while happily gripping Jimin's shoulders. Jimin couldn't help the goofy grin come to his face as he looked at his friend, his cheeks flushed pink but he didn't mind so much this time.
A/n
I am so sorry this took so long. I promise I haven't forgotten the couple requests I have left to do, writer's block is just being a huge bitch at the moment, that coupled with being busy is why I'm so behind. That and I've been working on another book recently that I'm very excited to do (a Teen Wolf ff that's a Stiles x Reader called Just a Feeling if anyone is interested in something like that)
I will get around to finishing these requests when the writer's block briefly lifts. Again, I'm sorry for the wait.
