Summary
"I guess," Jungkook pauses momentarily to inhale a deep, bracing breath, "I would just want you to come to my work events and laugh at my jokes and don't correct people if they imply that we're doing it." "Having sex, you mean," Jin clarifies gently, and Jungkook chokes on air. If his face was any redder, Jin would insist on taking him to the hospital. Jungkook clears his throat, obviously trying to play off the strangled, choked sound as a casual cough. "Yes. Doing... sex." (Hedge Fund wunderkind and Certified Awkward Gay Jungkook needs a sugar baby to show off at work, and Professional Competitive Eater and Objectively Beautiful Human Jin just wants to stop working shitty side-jobs. Fake Sugar Daddy AU. A trope and a half.)

Just nowoh my god. i literally screamed at work when i saw this, i have been lowkey simmering with excitement for the prospect of a minverse jinkook for months, and oh my god its so great i could cry. the characterization is beautiful and i laughed so much and im gonna copy and paste lines i especially liked (which would really be the entire chapter but i tried to exercise a modicum of self restraint) so this comment is gonna get really giant im very sorry“Hi…” Jin replies, and he can't help that it sounds like a question. The man in front of him swallows hard. “How are you?” “I'm... good, how are you?” Jin responds politely, if a little confused. “Oh, I'm good. How are you?” It takes a second to register, but when it does, Jin sees the guy visibly cringe at himself. "Shit." JUNGKOOK UR DOING GREAT SWEETIE also same also this is beautiful 12/10 jungkook writing"you just have a really kind face" this is a really nice thing to say jungkook is a good boyim crying jungkook baby i love himman jin is a good guy and omg he has a calming effect on kook im SOFT"His hand is big and soft and remarkably sweaty." MY BOY"Wow," Jungkook marvels, a dopey disbelieving smile creeping onto his face. "I'm a dad." "Nope, that's not even a little bit what this means," YES THIS LINEomg did they forget jiminomg the shopping reminds me of that picture of jungkook in the grocery store also grocery shopping with your friends is so fun!! this is so wholesomethat funny little mix of confident and not, ugh jungkook is so GOODi love when u mention the jimbows, also i bet u half a slice of blueberry bread that tae was the hot lay jimin had dumpster sex withjinminjoon friendship i am ALIVEgod i wanna quote every sentence it's all so gold"Me: noooo don't be the second dad to abandon me Kid: what is wrong with you Me: maybe you should not talk that way to your employee Me: I could unionize " im fucking crying oh my godedit: "Jimin allows before tugging his phone out of his extremely tight back pocket."now wait a second

Just nowI can already tell there’s gonna be 8000 great things about this so i’m just gonna,,, quote ur own fic back to you i’m sorry-“Oh, I'm good. How are you?” It takes a second to register, but when it does, Jin sees the guy visibly cringe at himself. "Shit." aksjdjdj where did u get this private photo of me-“I’m just so awkward and gay and oh god I’m going to die alone I’m going to-“ oh fuck now this is too real that’s really me except for the part about being loaded and talented and hot lmao-"Hey hotshot," Jin calls after him just as Jungkook spins around to walk away properly. "Good luck calling me without my fucking number." IM DYING THIS IS SO FUNNY-"I just want to remind you that this is not the first time that you've been late to something because of dumpster sex," Namjoon says thickly as he tentatively picks up the beater again. ajskajajjsjak J I M I N-"I guess. In a terrified Girl Scout trying to sell cookies to her scary elderly neighbor sort of way." “Well you are terrifying and elderly,” Jimin allows THE DISRESPECT lol-"You've made your dumpster. Now lie in it." lmaoo this is the Funniest thing istg-Kid: you're such a snob for a peasant Kid: I'm a little hard AKSKDJSJSJ JUNGKOOK BE CHILL i’m really looking forward to seeing where you take this!

Just nowoh man what a fun start XD kookie is so awkward and I love jin's awful jokes lolol(fyi! because ao3 is a nonprofit, posting ko-fi links can get yr fic reported! might be better to edit it out and link from Tumblr instead?)
gimmetheagustd
Just nowInc. and Paint are two of my all-time, revisit-constantly, cry about to everyone I meet who reads BTS fic FAVORITES and I can already tell this is going on that list too. There's too much to copy paste that's amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time to write and share with us (even if you almost scrapped it)ALSO YAY YOU HAVE A KO-FI I'VE BEEN WAITING ♥

Just nowmy fave line: "You've made your dumpster. Now lie in it." THANK GOD THANK YOU INVENTED HUMOR AND FORMED COMEDY FROM NOTHINGNESS WITH YOUR OWN HANDS.hey it's me--your biggest fan and admirer. i'm psyched to see where this goes!!!! i love a seokjin who is actually funny, something fandom is bizarrely lacking in. i also love an awkward, enthusiastic jungkook. and i ALSO love fake dating. so i am PUMPED RIGHT NOW. i'm really curious as to where yoongi and hoseok will show up. other friends of jin's??? OTHER WEIRD RICH DUDES??? (i'm...... i'm assuming taehyung is dumpster man...... but if he's not dumpster man then i guess i'm curious about him too.) aaaanyway, thanks for writing this, and i'm so excited to see more!
PetalsRose
Just nowThe humor is so fantastic. I freaking love this!
Gih_Bright

VioletStwy
Just nowThis is gold omg I'm laughing so much
foreheadhobi (arecipeforfeels)
Just nowOh much gosh as always you are a fucking gift to this fandom. I got home from work and saw the email that you posted and flipped. Also this is wonderful and hilarious; I kept repeating lines outloud to myself and laughing (my brother did not appreciate). Great comedic timing, wonderful writing and stellar characterizations as always. The premise of this is golden and I can't wait for the next chapters of this!! (And I have $10 on Tae being Jimin's dumpster adjacent hookup)
hellcatdreaming
Just nowholy GAH i had to STOP reading halfway through the chapter to come and leave a comment here because this is SO GOOD the perfect balance of humour and sass and cute awkward flaily moments but in a classy and evidently well written way AHHH thank you again!! looking forward to your next chapter!! gonna go back and finish reading this chapter right now (and probably re-read it again once i’m done)
behestha
Just nowIM SO EXCITED THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING THIS I LOVE READING YOUR WORK AND I KNOW ITS A LOT OF EFFORT SO THANKS FOR GOING THROUGH ALL OF THAT HELL AND PUSHING THROUGH IT!!!! I SUBSCRIBED SO FAST AHH
tonguemaster
Just nowoh my god i love this already
Chapter 1
Just nowThis is already changing my life in hilarious ways. I love the way you’ve written Jin and Namjoon (in his brief appearance), I love Jungkook’s whole wide eyed thing. Fake Jimin is gonna get his ass kicked by me because as a friend that’s been abandoned for hook ups, deadbeat boyfriends and literal people just met ... petty about it ;(
ratherunnecessary
Just now1 chapter of 5000 words and I already know I'm gonna suffer so much. Your writing is so laugh-out-loud FUNNY. I lost it multiple times. CANT WAIT
cupcakesforme

jiminescence
Just nowIM A SIMPLE PERSON I SEE MINVERSE I DROP EVERYTHING TO CLICK AND READ. You’ve got me absolutely SOLD on jinkook and this dynamic you are establishing is amazing!!!! I’m so excited to follow the development of disaster gay Jungkook and probably in denial Jin!!!!!! As always, your writing has me in stitches and tearing up from laughter!!! Thank you for this amazing fic!!!
Chapter 1
Just nowEyyyyy!! IM TOTALLY GONNA BINGE READ A LOT OF YOUR WORK NOW HAHA. Jinkook! I really like your other story too? I think it’s called Paint? BUT YESSS THANKS FOR EXISTING/WRITING ALL OF THIS!!P.S. I hope life is not busy :p cuz like I think I saw a lotta writers say that they have very busy lives and are sometimes depressed because of it ummmm yeah haha. BYE MAN. *awkwardly exits*
sagittaerians

Ami_4_life
Just nowI'm gonna love this. I can already tell
rainie_night
Just nowThis is amazing! I'm already excited to see what you do with this fic.I can 100 percent relate to Jungkook at being an awkward mess. But it must have been worse since he was with Seokjin. Also, Seokjin being a competitive eater is pretty cool. I've never read a fic that had that as a job!I love that Jimin ditched Jun for a hookup. I'm curious about the identity of this mysterious dumpster dude. Hoping it's one of members~
Dandelionette
Just nowThis was really funny, so I'd love to read some more n_n Kudos on a fic really well done!
chahans
Just nowIM SOOOOOOO EXCITEDD!!!! Ur my fave author ever and I’ve never read ur fics a so u updated them bc I only found them after u completed, so I’m excited (for now, we will see) to experience being left on the edge of my seat lol. I already love jinkooks dynamics I can tell this is going to be HILLarious I LOVE fake relationship aus. Kinda unrelated, but my friends had a similar thing where my friend dated this guy and we would call him Danny from the dumpster, Robert from the dumpster, oh ur free this weekend? What happened to *looks at smudged hand* Lenard from the dumpster. Idk it just reminded me of jimins dumpster guy lol xD
BTSYAS
Just nowFuck this shit I’m out This was too good I don’t remember the last time I smiled all the way through a chapter of a fic Also, this is just a logistic question - Jimin said he lost his phone so he couldn’t get the guys number but then he pulls it out later on when he searches up Jungkooks face? Did I read wrong or
