Country Boy (I Love You)

Description

Manager Yoo meets country boy Jung Daehyun.

Foreword

So this was inspired by Daehyun's instagram post from 374929 years ago of him and Jongup in cowboy outfits and Youngjae in a suit. My mind, of course, immediately went to a country boy Daehyun, office worker Youngjae AU, and it grew to include office workers Junhong and Himchan and country boys Jongup and Yongguk as well (but the banghim and jonglo are reasonably background, the main focus is definitely daejae).

I'm going to be posting this in chapters because it ended up being a lot longer than I expected it to be! I meant for it to be a quick oneshot but somehow it turned into a 10k+ word monster...whoops. Anyway, anticipate flirty Daehyun, in-denial Youngjae, soft jonglo, and parental banghim! This has been really fun to write, so I hope you all enjoy it!

Title is a reference to the "Country boy I love you" vine lmfao I felt like it was fitting!

Thank you for reading!

*Update: 

I loved writing this AU so much that I couldn't help but add a silly little bonus scene (which is the last chapter for real this time askdfjhsk)! It's purely self-indulgent tbh but hopefully you like it!

I know it kind of raises some more questions like...Are banghim engaged or not? Will Yongguk or Himchan move in with the other? Is Junhong capable of putting down his phone and not texting Jongup for more than 5 minutes? (I can answer that one - no!!) Is Daehyun pulling Youngjae out of his workaholic shell and is that a good thing? (In my mind? Yes!! Manager Yoo deserves to have a little fun sometimes!)

I have ideas of the other answers in my head but I also wanted to leave some room for readers to draw their own conclusions, so! I hope you all enjoy! :)

Chapter 3: It's been such a long time since I didn't read a really good DaeJae story! It is so cute and their personalities seem so right :o DaeJae are just perfect together :)

Chapter 4: One of my favourite daejae stories on here, I'm in love with the characterizations! I can picture it real clear in my head just an unimpressed Youngjae as he looks on at Himchan, decked out in a plaid button up tucked into tastefully dirty denim jeans. I also wonder if Daehyun's dog ended up moving to the city too or if he's still chilling on the farm?

Chapter 4: So I was looking for a cute DaeJae after having read your B.A.P soulmate AU on AO3 and look what I found here ^^ very happy I read this because it was so cute and lemme tell you aside from being in love with DaeJae (obviously) I wanna compliment you on how well you portray Himchan. I'm thinking a vacation in the countryside might get me a boyfriend too but we don't know that xD
Anyway thanks so much for writing this ~

Chapter 3: AAAAHHHH THAT WAS SO SWEET!! I enjoyed every word of it!! They are so smitten with each other it's sickeningly adorable. I can't help but laugh at how you come up with their banters. Also, my fave part is when it was said that Youngjae did not need any saving because yes!!! Youngjae is a strong and independent individual who does not need to be saved!! Just a bit of tlc that Daehyun can surely provide hehehe thanks for this!!! <3
