Summary
Hello! I've just moved to NYC, but I feel like a lonely fish out of water. It's hard to meet real people here, and even on social media everyone seems distant, so I decided to follow my dad's advice and ask the local paper. Do you have any non-tourist recommendations for places to eat?
I'm desperate for a human suggestion, not some Google search or unnamed article.
Thanks,
MG
Editor's Note: MG, Thank you for writing in, but this section is for personal statements and advertisements, we don't reply. I hope you find some real company soon, but for now, I'd recommend &Pizza on 28th Street if you're ever in the area. Good luck.

"I think you’re one of my closest friends. I have my roommate and my colleagues and my friends all the way back home, but you’re the one I think about after a long day. You’re the one who makes my hands jitter as I go to pick up the paper from outside the train station. You’re the one."

Summary
“Does he make you feel like this?”
“Like what?”
“Like the songs on the creepy stalker mixtape?”
Seokjin laughs at that. He leans over Jungkook to toss his phone on the nightstand and lies down again facing him. Close enough to breathe him in. Too close.
“No, of course not. People don‘t make each other feel these kinds of things in real life, Kookie.”
Wrong.
--
Or: Nearly a decade of Jungkook being madly in love and Seokjin falling at his own excruciatingly slow pace featuring the perfect cheesy soundtrack.
(get ready for: the childhood friends to roommates to fake boyfriends to lovers trope-combo; all the pining; drunken shenanigans; bad puns; oblivious, whipped idiots in love; A+ matchmaking strategies and the creepy stalker mixtape)

"Seokjin throws an arm over his waist and falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow and Jungkook holds him very very close while he gazes up at the stars above them. And as his eyes fall shut he feels the flowers again. But it seems like they aren’t really trying to crawl up his throat or suffocate him anymore - their petals are falling now. Flooding his empty ribcage. He is so in love."

Summary
Rapper-producer Min Yoongi takes the train late one night after his friends crash his car unexpectedly. He sits next to a stranger watching cat videos with the volume turned up, and ends up watching with him for the rest of the ride.
A six-minute slightly awkward train ride with someone he barely even talked to or looked at shouldn't have such an effect on Yoongi, but it does. He goes back to catch the same train, again and again.
And slowly and steadily, his world begins to shift.
He doesn’t even know the stranger's name.

" Yoongi clenched his jaw. “Stop.”
“I don’t think I will because everyone's been walking on eggshells around you, and it's time we stopped. You’re not weak and you’re not going to break. I know that. Do you know that? Do you know that you didn’t go through all that healing and strengthening just so you could be a hermit? Once you build muscle you’re supposed to keep exercising to maintain it, you know!” "

Summary
It’s a boy. A boy in a silk pajama set. A boy in a silk pajama set with a nametag too small to read who’s colorfully cursing in the thickest Daegu drawl Yoongi’s heard since he left home and it’s absolutely, without a doubt, the most beautiful sound Yoongi’s ever heard in his life.
(Or: Yoongi falls in love with people’s voices and, in consequence, falls in love with Taehyung.)

" “Well, you filled me with love, hyung,” Namjoon continues. “You gave me so much love it spilled over. That’s why I started the radio program. So we could share some of that love with others. And we did, hyung. You did,” Namjoon tells him fiercely, his eyes alight, his voice breaking. “You have helped so many people. You—You do not ruin people, Min Yoongi. You make them better . You have made us better.” "

Summary
Jungkook is the most acclaimed artist of his generation.
Seokjin is supposed to be earning minimum wage as a professor in university, not attending film festivals in private jets and draped in designer.
Their connection? A gold band, promise of forevers, and childhood memories spent in lavender fields.
