After a breakup and one too many drinks, Jungkook opens a chatbot app he once used for comfort — a place to say the things he was never brave enough to say out loud. The AI boyfriend he created is familiar. Safe. Named Jimin, for reasons he’s never examined too closely.
What Jungkook doesn’t realise is that he’s not talking to a bot at all.
What follows is a charged, intimate collision between past and present:unsent confessions, long-buried desires, and a conversation that finally crosses every line they were both too afraid to touch before.
This story explores:
? Explicit, consensual kink and power exchange
? The difference between wanting and trusting
? Vulnerability, control, and learning how to let go safely
?? A Christmas Eve reunion that changes everything
Practice Mode is emotionally raw, deeply sensual, and unapologetically explicit — a story about courage, communication, and discovering that the safest place to surrender is with the person who knows you best.
?? 18+ ONLY. Explicit sexual content.

Finding someone you can trust to no end is unbelievable but actually letting yourself feel with no thought doesn’t always happen easily. Having the courage to express your feelings and wants is not always easy, and I loved the fact that Jungkook talked it through with a Chatbot since he couldn’t express himself to Jimin. I’m so glad he got a second chance and made it count.
This one was unexpectedly transformational.
The first time I read it I cried. The second time I was just stunned.
Reading about finding freedom in trust was such a novelty.
The honesty of the gradual unfolding was very touching.
How one’s fears of being seen and falling apart could actually break a relationship.
It was very profound to realize that the freedom found in mutual trust was the freedom of being safe and truly oneself.
And by extension that would also mean being free from fear of people full stop.
Having never looked at it this way, these last two pieces were transformational for me.
