Okay so imagine a world where humans are able to control the elements. It is called their essence, and every human has the ability to channel and enhance specific aspects of the earth.

For as long as Seokjin can remember he has despised his essence. His essence is destruction. Chaos. Wherever he goes, he causes things to implode or get blown out of his way and more often than not there is nothing he can do to control it. Seokjin's days are spent actively trying

not to cause explosions wherever he goes. It is tiring and alienating. He has to move from town to town, having to pack up his life every time he causes an accident for fear of persecution by the town governments. He doesn't have many friends. Until he moves to a new town yet

again and meets Namjoon. After a few encounters with the man, Seokjin has named him in his mind as Nature Fairy Joonie. Namjoon's essence is in nature. Wherever he goes, he brings growth to all flora and fauna in his path. All living creatures from birds to bugs answer his calls.

They seek him out if he's in their radius and they need his help in healing or growing. Namjoon refuses to believe Seokjin's essence is chaos or destruction. "That's not how essences work" he had laughed the first time Seokjin had told him. "You haven't seen it spin out of

control yet" Seokjin had told him with a sad smile. But Namjoon is persistent. He treats Seokjin like one of his butterflies, with broken wings that land on his nose and just being in contact with him fixes them. "You're nature too." Namjoon tells Seokjin, on one of their many

walks through the forest. Seokjin is sure the forest exists purely because Namjoon lives here. "Everything in nature works because there is perfect balance. You need to find your balance Seokjin." Seokjin doesn't know how there can be balance in amidst chaos.

"You don't need to control your essence" Namjoon told him gently, the first time he took Seokjin to his home. His home, was far away from the town, hidden in a little nature wonderland of its own. Greenery had sprouted from every surface. Animals came and went at will, the door

open for them all the time. A dozen different bird feeders and feeding bowls were placed at various places around his estate. Seokjin joked how he needs to be careful around here to control his essence or else all the animals would run away. "Your essence is for you to channel.

You need to love it. Embrace it."

Seokjin's day at the nature cottage changed him. He felt calmer here. Not ready to explode. Seokjin didn't feel like he was a danger here. So selfishly he asked if he could stay here. Namjoon smiled and said he thought Seokjin would never ask.

Seokjin understood first hand why all living creatures loved Namjoon as he too fell in love with him. With his soft smiles, his gentle whistling, his tendency to malfunction in all matters not related to nature. Most of all Seokjin fell in love with Namjoon's insistence on

not being afraid of Seokjin. Even after seeing him explode a watering can and dousing him with water. "We all break things." Namjoon had said, gently wiping his face for him. "There is no point in hating your essence for it." Slowly but surely Namjoon loved Seokjin enough for him

to believe that he was not a disaster. That he deserved the same care Namjoon gave his plants and his fishes. That he deserved his love.

When Namjoon made love to him for the first time, it was with this same gentleness and care. He made Seokjin feel like he was balanced, at peace even if he had never felt like exploding more. With the emotions and the pleasure. Seokjin breathed a million I love yous to Namjoon

and shamelessly basked in his love. The following morning, Namjoon woke him up with an excited giddy smile on his face. He dragged Seokjin to the rooftop of the cottage. Seokjin's mouth fell open. As far as the eye could see there was new greenery sprouting. Way beyond the

territory of Namjoon's 'garden'. From here they could see in every direction and everywhere there was new life. Namjoon's essence was powerful but this was insane. "How did you do this?" Seokjin asked him. Namjoon smiled, like he was in on a secret. "I didn't. You did."

Seokjin was baffled. "I told you your essence couldn't be chaos and it's not. It's energy. You lent energy to my essence last night and look what you created." Seokjin stood frozen, eyes scanning the shrubbery around him. "No. This couldn't have been me." Namjoon shook his head,

fondly. "I'll show you."

They climbed the roof again at night. Namjoon called out to the fireflies, like Seokjin had seen him do many times before. A few dozen bugs responded, fluttering to him. Then Namjoon pulled Seokjin into a hug. Despite his curiosity, Seokjin smiled and

hugged him back. Namjoon called to the fireflies again, softly. Barely a whisper. Seokjin gasped as hundreds of bugs swarmed around them. The entire sky glittered with them and they danced to the beat of Namjoon's whistles. "See?" Namjoon smiled at Seokjin's teary eyes.

Seokjin brought him into the kiss and the moment their lips met the garden came alive with sounds of all kinds of creatures. Like they had been energized. "We should be careful" Seokjin panted as he broke apart. "We'll make plants grow in people's kitchens like this."

Namjoon laughed. "I don't anything bad can happen as a result of this. As long as we do it with love."

So basically Seokjin realizes his essence is lending energy to other people's essences and it got out of control because he didn't ever connect with other people.

So he finds work in the town's government, helping out wherever needed by amplifying other people's work and giving them energy. He went from being feared to the most sought after person in the town. And he lived peacefully in his little cottage with Namjoon, where their garden

grew into an entire forest because despite knowing what them loving on each other could do, they did not stop doing it :')

[A/N] So basically this is what I thought up instead of sleeping on Sunday night, enjoy :') Also if anyone wants to take this and make headcannons about what the other members' essences would be, feel free👀Just link back to the og thread so I can see :')
