My Grandpa on Taekook Fan Fiction Obsession

As a self-confessed Taekook fan, my world revolves around two main characters: Jeon Jungkook and Kim Taehyung from the global sensation, BTS. This obsession with Taekook — the ship name for Jungkook and Taehyung, if you're not in the know — has colored my life with such vibrancy that it sometimes feels like living in a thrilling K-drama. It all started when I stumbled upon a YouTube compilation of their adorable moments, and I fell down a rabbit hole of infectious smiles, heart-warming friendship, and intense fan-fiction.

"So, are they like boyfriends or something?" my grandpa, a wise old soul with an insatiable curiosity, asked me one day as he peered at my laptop screen. On it, a fan-art of Taehyung and Jungkook in a sweet embrace.

"No, grandpa, not officially," I chuckled, "but in the world of fandom, yes, they are."

"And you read stories about them being together?" He raised an eyebrow, a tiny smirk playing on his lips.

"Yes, grandpa. Yes, I do," I answered, grinning. "And let me tell you, it's a wild ride."

As my grandfather puzzled over the intricate web of BTS and Taekook fandom, I couldn't help but reflect on how this obsession had become a crucial part of my identity. It wasn't just about the love for two talented artists; it was about the community, the shared laughter, and the numerous hours spent reading and discussing fanfiction.

"You have to read about them... together?" He looked baffled as I began explaining the concept of fanfiction, "Like in romantic scenarios and such?"

With a smile, I told him how I loved immersing myself in stories where Taekook's friendship evolved into something more, something romantic and sometimes delightfully spicy. The blush on my grandpa's face was priceless. He immediately reminded me to "stay grounded in reality" and, in the next breath, asked how he could find these stories. I laughed till my sides ached.

To be honest, some may view it as just another fangirl obsession, but for me, it was more than that. It was a gateway into exploring themes of love, friendship, and sexuality. The fanfictions were a safe space where I could learn about relationships, identity, and consent — all through the lens of my favorite ship, Taekook.

The sexual themes within some of the fictions were often explicit but handled with a sense of beauty and respect that made me appreciate the diversity of human relationships. They weren't just erotic fantasies, but profound explorations of human desire, identity, and intimacy.

"So, is it like Fifty Shades of Grey, but with these two young men?" My grandpa asked one day, causing me to choke on my tea.

After I stopped coughing and wheezing, I answered, "Well, kind of, but with more emotions, better plotlines, and yes, definitely hotter." I winked at him, and his laughter filled the room.

My obsession with Taekook and their fanfiction allowed me to dive deep into narratives that I might have otherwise missed. It opened my eyes to the struggles and victories of the LGBTQ+ community and taught me to be more empathetic and accepting. This obsession was not just about the thrill of a fictional romance; it was about understanding different facets of love and friendship.

"Do you think they know about this?" My grandfather questioned, pointing at a fan-art picture of Taekook I was admiring.

"I'm sure they do, grandpa," I replied, "And I believe they appreciate the love and support."

Being part of the Taekook fandom is like being part of a large, vibrant family. We may not always agree on everything, but our shared love for Taehyung and Jungkook, and the solidarity we feel towards each other, makes this journey worthwhile.

"You're really into this, aren't you?" Grandpa observed one day as I excitedly discussed the latest fanfiction I had read.

"I am, grandpa," I replied with a wide grin, "I truly am."

My Taekook obsession isn't just about enjoying the chemistry between two talented artists; it's a journey of self-discovery, of finding joy in the little things, and of appreciating love in its myriad forms. It's about seeing the world through a lens of hope, laughter, and of course, unapologetic fan-love.

In the world of Taekook, I am not just a fan; I am a dreamer, a storyteller, and a believer in love. So, here's to Taekook, to the fandom, to the fanfiction, and to my grandpa — for always asking the funniest yet most insightful questions.

In this journey, I've learned that sometimes, our obsessions can lead us to understand not just our idols, but also ourselves. They can make us see the world with a little more kindness, a little more love, and a lot more fun. So, here's to the world of fandom — a world that is just as real, thrilling, and beautiful as any other.
