namkook time travel au where 2020 jungkook goes back into the past to 2017 and the only priority 2017 jungkook suddenly has is to stop his evil sexy future self from Flirting With *His* Namjoon Hyung

namkook are obviously established in 2020 which is why 2020 jungkook is flirting so much in the first place bc he KNOWS namjoon has already started liking him by this point but *2017* jungkook DOESN'T know that and DOESN'T appreciate it either

the thing is - namjoon won't stop BLUSHING around jungkook's future self. which jungkook just feels like ISN'T FAIR ????? that's JUNGKOOK. that's HIMSELF so why the hell isn't namjoon acting like that around *him* ??? and jungkook *knows* 2020 jungkook is doing it on purpose.

bc his future self will say something to joon & then while joon is asking him questions about the future that jk (unfortunately not a psychic) can't answer, his future self will give him a Look. and jungkook *knows* that look. he's just never been on the receiving end. obviously

so, besides the obvious issue of 2020 jungkook being in the past at all (which should NOT be possible according to even his evil future self), jungkook has an even bigger issue now. competition.

*pictures i pulled for visual reference- 2017 kook and joon and 2020 jungkook* which . Yeah

the other thing about his future self which irritates him beyond belief (besides Everything About Him and his Horrible Gross Flirting with namjoon) is that he's /scared/. which. is how 2017 jungkook would feel too.

if jungkook were transported back into the past right now to 2014, he doesn't know what he'd do either. he'd freak out for SURE and a LOT more than his future self currently is. but jungkook can see that he's hiding it. jungkook doesn't like to be a burden to others after all.

so. jungkook tries not to talk to him at all, instead opting for glaring at him from afar when he makes namjoon laugh in that kind of way he only laughs when he's with HIM, *2017* jungkook, not some guy from the future who has really cool tattoos and cool hair.

while the rest rest of the members get along with his evil future self easily (albeit a bit hesitantly too), NONE of them compare to namjoon, who keeps looking at 2020 jungkook like he's everything he's ever wanted in a person. jungkook hates them both

so, jungkook tries some new things out. he carefully situates himself in a place where namjoon will find him and when namjoon walks in three minutes later (ha! right on the money), jungkook can't *help* but muse, "maybe I should get tattoos as well."

& namjoon, obviously oblivious to all of kook's struggles just sits down beside him & hums, not even looking up from his phone to look at him.
"you will."
jungkook shakes his head, frustrated. "/no/, i meant like *right now.* you could even come with me."
at that, joon looks up.

he's frowning. "i didn't know you wanted tattoos."
jungkook deflates. then sighs. "i mean yeah, i wanted them *one day*-"
"which you accomplish"
"- but maybe i should get them now. what do u think? don't you think i'd look good with them?"
namjoon just stares at him.

and as if fate couldn't hate him more than sending his worst competition in the past just to fuck with him, said competition walks in.

jungkook watches how namjoon immediately jumps up to stammer out a, "o-oh hey" in utter dismay.
2020 jungkook evilly smirks (to anyone else, it'd be a kind smile) in reply to both of them.

"hey, what are /you/ two doing?"
jungkook hates how he asks it. like he KNOWS jungkook is doing his best here and only finds it highly amusing. suddenly, jungkook realizes that he really DOES know.
god jungkook hates him.

namjoon clears his throat, still awkwardly standing. "oh i was reading about theoretical physics and paradoxes. trying to see how time travel could even be possible with our technology."

namjoon then glances at jungkook which jungkook perks up at, completely unaware of the betrayal to come. "and jungkook was just telling me how he wants tattoos now to. i think he was inspired by you."
jungkook takes all of his sappy love for namjoon BACK. namjoon is evil TOO!!

his future self laughs. "really? i don't think i /really/ considered getting tattoos until 2018."
jungkook glares at him, willing his existence away with ever fiber of his being.
namjoon, the handsome traitor he is, laughs with him. "i guess you gave him a bit of a jumpstart."

"i wasn't /inspired/," jungkook finally says. he looks away, crossing his arms. "they're just... cool, you know. and i guess this /isn't/ actually your past because i 100% completely and totally have been thinking about this on my own, even *before* you showed up."
"uh huh."

jk prepares himself to have to keep defending his honor but luckily (& unluckily) joon & his future self start talking more about smth that obviously doesn't include kook by the looks of it. kook rolls his eyes, sinking further into the couch, wondering if he should just leave.

"hey jk."
jungkook blinks, offended that his future self would address him at all, let alone so casually. but then again. it's himself. god that's weird.
"what?"
"you should go walking with namjoon. he's inviting me but i'm too tired."
jungkook frowns. is this a trap?

delete later/// i need to shower and eat and be a human being but i'll return to this soon this is already much longer than i planned i should probably just make it a fic lol but i WILL finish this on here :D
